Confirming Qi Wireless and NFC work Using UAG Case

[harryhoudini66]

I got a UAG Cass for my Note 4. I was worried that NFC and Qi Wireless would not work. I am confirming that it does. In case you are wondering what Qi receiver I am using, it is the official Samsung one. I just modified it by removing it from the cover. I snipped the contacts ever so slightly and all is good.

Qi works with most TPU cases. I use an i-Blason case and Qi charging too. No difference in the measured charging current between case on and case and back cover off, either. (The specs say 5mm, but I can get the same charging current with the phone 1/2" above the charging plate, and I'm using a cheap charger and receiver.)

In my case, I had the Spigen Tough Armor before and Qi Wireless did not work. I know that the UAG is a popular case so I wanted to mention it specifically.

Hey, before I pull the trigger on the wireless back, I just want to reconfirm that the note with the wireless back cover will fit into the UAG case. I have the maverick

No, the Samsung Wireless Cover will not fit in this case. You would have to either use one of the after market charging receivers or perform the Wireless Charging Mod using the Samsung Wireless Cover.

Copy, where can I find info on the mod to see how difficult it will be?

Could someone please tell me if you use the fast charger with the wireless charging kit, does it improve charging times????

I tried it and without writing down the times, I swear it has improved.

Good question. I was wondering the same thing myself.

I doubt it but I could test. Problem is my phone never goes below 50% because I have a few Qi Wireless chargers around.
