A month ago I upgraded from a Note I (GT-N7000) to a Note II LTE (GT-N7105) and love the numerous improvements.
I decided to try wireless charging but I have to admit this was one aspect where my expectations were quite small. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong and that it is a real benefit. I bought the very cheapest combo of Qi charging pad and Note II module that I found on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2517818203...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It cost me £6.08 which is a about US or €9. The module fits between the battery and the phone's cover. I use a Samsung Flip Case Cover and it closes over the phone as normal with no bulges or fit problems. The pad is specified to output 1A and the module for the phone claims 800 mA. I didn't measure them but after a few days I find the claims believable (I have an extra genuine Samsung battery and previously had been swapping batteries and using a small battery charger with 1A output).
The pad itself is shiny plastic and so the phone, with its similarly shiny plastic back, can easily slip from it. I applied my giant brain to the problem and considered building a small cage from plastic or wire, or perhaps enclosing the pad in some kind of box. Then I had a couple of beers and remembered I already have some 2cm x 2cm velcro (hook+loop) fastener pads and some scissors. I snipped some tiny strips, so 2cm x 4mm, and applied them to each side of the charge pad and in the equivalent positions on the back of the flip case. Perfect and unobtrusive.
The battery charges really fast, the phone is both secure on the pad and quickly removed. No more dicking about with cables! Thank you ebay and China :good:
