Guys, one quick question, does the genuine battery door come with the wireless charging coil? I just bought a new battery door and its missing the coil.

It does, I'll attach a picture of mine.
Make sure you attached the clip that can be seen near the top right of the orange connector that comes from the coil. It should be about a centimetre above the nexus S, I didn't do it the first time I opened it and the QI wasn't working.
The problem with mine is that its missing the coil, its not there. And also the new cover is a little bit lighter than the older one.

Hey everyone,
I am really keen on having Qi charging and already have the pad and everything. I am looking to make the move to an extended battery (not the official one, which I hear works with the pads, but rather an ebay one, 4300mah, 4500mah etc with extended battery doors).
I know this will cause the contacts to be elevated above the spots requiring contact with the pad.
How are people overcoming this? I'd rather not solder to visible contacts inside the phone, and was curious how others have accomplished this and kept a consistent connection without permanently affixing it with solder?
Thanks!

I've heard of people using copper tape to connect both ends

Would like to see some pictures of this was thinking about doing it myself but wasn't sure if it would work, also would like to know which sort of copper tape they use..
Look for palm pre mod . It was the wireless charging mod before qi chargers were made for the s3.

He said he already has a qi pad, so that wouldn't work for him

the copper tape or copper wire trick will do.
there is a thread here where someone took a qi receiver pad and modified it to fit several extended batteries.. search this specific forum. it's there.

I am also interested in charging the extended battery using the Qi Wireless receiver for my S3.
I purchased the recommended copper tape but had no success.
Are there steps somewhere in the forums that could show you the steps?
I do not want to solder anything to the contacts.
Thanks for your help
search this specific forum. there's a link or a thread here with a step by step.
Hi this post is a bit old, but I think very relevant today. Most tags will not work with an extended battery because of where the chip is located. I'm finding that it needs to be lower and the only ones that do that are the ones with a longer contact neck. I just purchased a 6400 ma battery and back cover for my s4... and discovered my qi I receiver tag will not work... unless I fool around with it a lot like putting a bunch of tape underneath that neck part to raise it on the short version. But with all that little bit of extra tape makes the back cover insufficiently loose because it can't snap-in because it's too thick of a battery. But I played around with a little bit as I told you above and got it to work but I couldn't keep the back cover on. So my in-enept modification failed... I read a review on Amazon or a gentleman got it to work but I notice his cute a receiver tag had the longer neck. I know the company tylt makes one, & I am calling him in the morning just to verify that is the one actally still selling.
Extended Battery + Qi Pad, Back Plate Doesn't Fit
I'm having a similar problem with my Galaxy S3 extended battery + Qi charging pad. I was able to modify the Qi charging pad to fit above the extended battery pretty easily, even though the end result is a bit kludgy. Basically I just soldered two thin wires to the contact points on the charging pad then used a piece of foam to space the wires appropriately. I wrapped this in electrical tape and tinned the ends so they'd make a solid connection to the phone contact points.
>I can't post links yet but you can see a picture of this on imgur: i.imgur.com/KJOU4I5.jpg
This worked great, except that the extended back casing that came with the battery doesn't fit properly when the Qi charging pad is inserted. The back plate that came with the battery is made of hard plastic so it won't bend leaving me with an extended battery + Qi charging but no back case. All the back plates I've seen on eBay look identical to the one I was sent. I'm going to try heating and molding the back, or perhaps sanding it down (though it's already pretty thin) but at this point I'm not super confident.
I just ordered my OnePlus One and pretty happy. I'll miss the wireless charging however, and I've seen these in the past, but think you could put this under the backplate? They seem pretty thin.

Opinion, or has anyone tried this?? Thanks in advance!
I'm thinking the same thing too. It should fit inside the back cover but I don't know if the nfc pad will interfere the charging. Haven't try wireless charging XD. Another choice is to put that pad under slim back case, should be OK and you don't have to open the 1+1 back cover too. One thing that I concern is the charging rate. With Qi charger, it's going to take forever to fully charge the 1+1. 2A charger vs 500 mA qi charger

First, search the forums on both on XDA and OnePlus.Net. Already ongoing discussions. That said, I've used a few models, including the one listed here. They charge S-L-O-W. Less than 10 percent per hour. If you do use this, get the model with the long end of the USB connecor facing up towards the screen and the narrow end facing down toward the back.
Please read the other threads before proceeding

The biggest problem you will have is with the USB plug part. Look at my post history and you will find my thread where I installed on internally. I'm using a 750mA one that seems to charge just fine. It's not as fast as the cord, but it keeps my phone charged all day. I have wireless chargers everywhere though.

Did you install it under the plate and if so did it interfere with your NFC at all?

You have to peal up the NFC antenna or it does not work reliably. There is a nice large thread I made in general that you need to read. You question has been answered very thoroughly with testing.
This is the one I bought....waiting on it.....

The one mentioned in all the posts (the red one) is no longer available in our USB configuration due to QA issues)
Was looking for this, thanks!
If you have bought and used a Qi receiver in your s3 for more then a week I want to hear about it.
I would like your replies to include pics of it installed in your phone. Hopeful that will keep this thread shill free.
Are they all the same level of crap?
Did yours bulge the back so bad it cracked?
Did it heat up the phone more then gaming?
Did they block NFC?
Is it slower/faster then usb?
I'm actually kinda temped to buy one of the S5 ones that are advertised as "paper thin" and modify it to fit. Some of them have pics of callipers measuring them and they look damn thin. None of the S3 ones currently on amazon or eBay look like something that won't burst into flames :/

Sorry I don't have pics. I have used one for the last year. It's been a bit of hit n miss. The quality seems to be ok as far as I can tell visually and I had bought the cheapest one I could find. I haven't had any problems with cracking of the case but it does bulge ever so slightly and any 3rd party case of tried with it doesn't have any problems with fit. The receiver is about credit card thickness. It does not block nfc on my phone. It is very much slower to charge than with regular usb, but it will charge my phone completely overnight. The problem I have with it just recently is that it doesn't consistently charge. It "loses" connection randomly. I have made sure that the contacts stay connected but still the problem persists. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software related at this point but it did use to work consistently. Also it may be the charging pad that is going funky and not the receiver itself. I have ordered a new and different charging pad that should arrive this week and I'll have a better idea of what's going on when I get it. Hope that helps a bit.
I have been using one for about two weeks now, no bulges, it overheats a bit, but I am using cm12 and boeffla kernel and have oc'ed current to 950 for faster charge so thats on me, its faster than usb atm, but a bit slower than normal charger. Didnt understand what you meant with ''blocks nfc''
The NFC coil is on the back of the battery.
These Qi stickers glue to the battery. It stands to reason one coil over the other might interfere.
Which is why I asked if you still have NFC with one installed.
I've had my S3 for a couple months now; got it as a freedompop refurb during a good sale. Came with the usb port loose and was hard to get it to charge, so I went on ebay and got a cheap qi charger (came with coil and charge plate). It was supposedly a 1000ma charging coil, though it does charge pretty fast. The charging base does heat up a bit while charging, and will heat up the phone just by proximity, but so far nothing too serious.
I don't use NFC for anything so I have no idea if it's impacted at all. There's probably other qi charging topics here with answers.
The coil barely made a dent in the backplate plastic. It is slightly visible, but it didn't impact the phone fitting in a few of the cases my friends had. I settled on a nice leather folding case that also worked as a landscape-stand.
It might be just the quality of the charge plate or the coil I received that's making this one little problem: if the phone is directly on the base (bare-plastic back to charge plate), it likes to blink in and out of charging constantly. If there's a little space though, it'll steadily charge and not blink (or very rarely blink). The gap I found to work the best is roughly the phone's normal thickness. I used a piece of cardboard and a couple gift cards to get there until I got the folding case. Folding the front over to the back provided enough space for steady charging on its own. Again, it's probably the china quality, but at least it's working well.

Great idea on the spacing! Mine does basically the same thing. Never thought of moving it farther away. Sweet! But you might want to be careful if you're using gift cards that haven't been redeemed. I think, not positive, that it might ruin the magnetic strips on them.
I know that the G4 does not include wireless charging without the quick circle case which is why I'm confused about what the sticker is inside of my back cover. It looks like wireless charging... But I don't have anything to test it with. This is the Verizon version. See the attached picture
Nfc
ahh so thats why the replacement stickers on alliexpress for 9 bux come with nfc and qi..tyvm for that snippet i was wondering what the hell the sticker was as well
I bought a sticker to enable wireless charging for the G4, however I noticed that the sticker covers up the existing 2 contacts on the NFC that came as part of the plastic back. I'm not against installing the sticker to add QI charging, but I'm concerned that it blocks the contacts to the NCF which is already present. I assume others have used the same stickers to add charging and what to know what they had to say on the matter.
Thanks,
ERIC

I just purchased the same QI charging sticker and it has NFC built into it. You have to remove the current NFC sticcker in the case backing and replace it with the QI wireless charging and NFC sticker. The QI charging sticker should have the contacts where the NFC connectors are and also have the contacts for wireless charging, this is why the stock sticker needs to be removed.
Enjoy your wireless charging

The back sticker consists of 2 parts the NFC and also a black lump under it, which I assume needs to also be removed, no instructions make figuring this out fun! Found a picture on Amazon, as to the order of the stickers: QI first then NFC, seemed backwards, but that is what they showed., so that is what I'm doing
As for the sticker it is on and seems to be correct, but the charger does nothing, tried removing it replacing it I'm 99% sure it is correctly placed, but there is no way to check 100%; added some paper behind the contacts to move them forward, still no charging.
Assumed the sticker was bad, I bought 2 tried the second one same thing, tried both bases and both stickers (destroyed the one removing it), still nothing. So either the phone is bad unable to charge via QI, the stickers are reversed, unlikely given it matches pictures or it does not make contact, there is no way to be sure but I'm 99% positive they align. I do not really need QI, just thought it was nice, but currently I'm about to give up on it since the sticker simply do not seem to work and buying a case with it makes no sense.
Using a meter resistance is 0.06 Ohms, when off the QI, on the QI there is a pulse occurring so I assume that means the sticker is good, as a result I do not know what is the issue I do not see any way to monitor how much amperage is produced, perhaps it is too little to register with the phone as a charger?
My thoughts to date, QI via add-on sticker is a waste!, a very cheap waste but a waste ensuring proper contact is basically down to luck, and I'm not having any a 5 minute job has taken an hour of my life so far with no result to show for it.

I bought 2 stickers from Aliexpress, rebuild 2 Phones with the sticker, both of them are workin and charging flawless
we have the Black leather back, the embedded sticker in the cover must be removed to succuess.
