Whoops I broke the charging port. At&t 2 yr contract. Had phone since november. Phone is from a good batch. Zero issues except user error (phone fell to floor while on charging cable)

Sorry to hear (unless you want to upgrade). Switch to wireless charging. I don't use my port for anything unless absolutely necessary. Too vulnerable - one of the weakest parts IMO.Even have wireless charger in car (cheap plate on usb).

Hi!

Do you have any idea, how much does it cost for the wireless charge in your country? please let me have your idea. Of course, different countries different price, but at least I have an idea. THANKS

Depends on where you buy and what country you're in for shipping, etc. For instance, for my Note 3 I got chargers (not receivers) off of ebay for as little as $17.00USD. Amazon has them, too, but may not be available to buy in some countries. Sometimes you can finds specials, too. I paid more for others (business owner here) and less for others with a special. These are popular now so many sites will have them discounted sometimes, depending. Receivers are the other part. Note 4 is not wireless charging ready without either a receiver or a wireless charging back cover. The back covers here are around $30.00 and a good receiver can be had for between $10.00 and $15.00. Fifteen dollars is high. When I had a receiver in my Note 3, I think I paid about $12.00. It died when my battery blew a cell so I switched to the wireless charging back cover.

Long answer. Sorry. Hope it helps.

Here is an example - I think I got one here (pad only). This is both, but is no longer available. Offers change daily and last a short time.

Qi Wireless Charger Charging Receiver Pad Sticker Combo for $11.99 + free shipping - electronics, charger

And you are very welcome. Hope it helps somehow.
