IF a phone has wireless charging built in, does it need another type of battery to be able use this wireless charger?

No...if the phone has Qi charging capability, you are good to go. This charger works with my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) without any additional adapters.

Yes. It works just like your wired charger (except it has no wires) with a few key differences: 1. Your phone limits the current received in this way (the limit is device manufacturer specific - my SG S4 will only take 700mA via its wireless charge port) 2. The QI wireless charging standard limits the max current to 1000mA. 3. The phone will charge fully (within the limits above), turning "off" the wireless charging port when done. The thing is, then the phone almost immediately starts to deplete the battery, and the charging resumes (speaking ONLY from experience with my device). The final net effect is your phone enters a "floating battery" state: the charger is powering your device, while your battery sits idle at 100%. I have left my S4 on the charging pad overnight many times, the same way i have left it in the wired charger overnight many times... same result either way - phone works just like it did previously, just the way i know it to work.

Yes, you need a back cover or case that has a wireless charging receiver. Or buy a wireless charging sticker that you can attach to the inside of your back cover. Must be PM compatible to use this charger and not Qi.

No.. for wireless charging you need a specific back cover which has internal point to connect back to battery for wireless charging. This back cover is little thicker in size .. so if you have any full body casing that might also not fit in after installing wireless charging cover.

I don't have the wireless charging shell, but I guess it can charge, without the belt holder.

Not by the phone itself. However, there is a Qi insert for the battery that will allow it to wirelessly charge it, which is pretty thin and attaches to the battery in the phone. Here it is on NewEgg although it can be found on Amazon as well, which is where I purchased mine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RU17W9013&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Standard+Batteries+%26+Chargers-_-9SIA2RU17W9013

Not sure, I web searched my phone and wireless charging to learn that it was not "wireless ready" but could become wireless with a receiver added to the battery.

Possibly...it depends on how damaged your charging port is. If you have tried a new battery(that has been tested to work in a different phone) and different charging cables (that are known to work on other phones) and the battery still will not charge (or will not charge fully, or intermittently charges) then this item may not help. This particular unit seems to operate via the cover charging port locking into the original charging port. If the charging port is completely non-functioning it is likely you will not be able to use this type of wireless charger. In that case, I would look at the small sticker-like wireless charging receivers that can be directly attached to the back of the actual battery instead of an incorporated special back case. If your charging port is toast, you need to bypass that functionality and charge straight from a wireless unit to the battery itself.

This is not the wireless charge model. That would be the BH-220W. Looks identical, but you can set the carrier on a Qi charge plate to re-charge. Not sure it is available yet.

The device has to have wireless charging built in our "qi" technology. If it does not, it will not work.

Yes, you need a special back plate for the S5 (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Wireless-Charging-Battery/dp/B00ITI24EK) in order to use wireless charging. The capability is built into the S6

No... you have to plug the white magent (power cube) charger into your phone then lay it on the charging mat.... this is a terrible waste of money as it isnt REALLY wireless charging

Yes, you can use a car charger. Unfortunately the Wireless Plus doesn't come equipped with a car charger, however they do work.

I assume the wireless charging station is of interest here and therefore, I would say not. The special interior energy transfer pad inside the back cover of the phone is required, although my Palm Pre2 came with the energy pad included. I love the practical station charge that receives calls and displays the time while charging to maximum in about an hour. I am concerned about the heat associated with this energy transfer affecting battery life so I pick it off rather than leaving it on the charger.If the charging station is not of interest, other responders appear more knowledgeable than I.

It depends what phone you have. Can't really answer the question because there are thousands of phones on the market. A few with wireless charging capability, and most without. Some phones can be modified to use wireless charging by installing a compatible induction pad to the cover. Google "install wireless charging coil" and an instructional video will be in your results. Then do some investigating whether or not your phone has this capability.

Well I've never used a galaxy s3 but I think you need a Wireless Charger Charging Receiver for the battery like this one.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DYOL2RY?cache=219becb1843dfbcf802ddf8529a3b98aπ=SY200_QL40&qid;=1414036635&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1 ahttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DYOL2RY?cache=219becb1843dfbcf802ddf8529a3b98a&p;i=SY200_QL40&qid;=1414036635&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1 as for the s2 I don't think it's capable of qi charging I've not seen anything for that device I hope this helps Good luck.
