Just received my Galaxy S5. Do I need to purchase anything else with Koolpad Qi Wireless Charger? Is my S5 compatible "off the shelf"?

The S5 "off the shelf" doesn't include Qi wireless charging. You'll need something like this: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-VG900BBUSTA

I think you need something extra (the S3 does not support Qi charging by default). A quick search revealed this: Samsung Galaxy S3 S i9300 QI Standard Wireless Charger Charging Receiver Tag -White but you might find something else that works better for you.

The Samsung S View case Includes the Qi wireless charging capabilities. If your planning on that case there's no need for this.

I have a Platinum Case, from Best Buy, and it DOES wirelessly charge through it! It only works in about ONE "Chi Spot"! Which I found to be in the lower half of the S5. It does not charge fast, and it sometimes gets HOT! If it gets Too Hot, it wont charge at all. My case has a kick stand on the back, which actually helps in keeping the phone from getting hot, cause it lifts it off the pad, just a little. Overall, its worth getting, if you want to preserve your charging port cover.

You need a Qi inductive back to allow the phone to charge. If you have that, then this will work on any Qi compatible wireless charger pad.

Hi Sam! Thank you for your inquiry! We have not yet tested this product with a wireless charger. However, there were no problems with the Galaxy S5 Neo Hybrid cases. As long as the wireless charger cover does not change the dimensions of the phone, we believe there should not be much difficulty with the wireless charger. However, if you run into any issues, please let us know, and we'll be happy to assist!

Additional observation: I am using the GS5 on 3 different types of chargers. Incipio Ghost 100, Incipio Ghost 210 and the Koolpads. All without a problem. Link up immediately. Sounds like a bad receiver or misaligned with the contacts in the back of the phone!!!!

It is complete as far as what's needed for the S5. You will still need your AC wall charger that came with the S5 to power the wireless pad. They do include a USB to mini-USB cable with it, though.

The Galaxy S3 doesn't have wireless charging built in to it. You will need to buy a new case/back/adaptor for it to work.

The charger should work with device that is Qi certified. Galaxy phones may require charging battery cover.

you should buy a separste case only for S4.it does not work with QI charger

I have the same question though my concern is with Qi wireless charger. Anyone tried it out?

Out of the box it doesn't support QI wireless charging, but you could certainly add a very thin QI inductive/wireless charging receiver for you model of phone. I've got a thin wireless charging receiver in my Galaxy S4 Active.

No you need one of the wireless backs - samsung sells one - and you need to match the standard. There are multiple wireless charging pad standards out there- the Samsung back is compatible with the Qi Charging standard ONLY.

I have an S4 (Verizon, but that shouldn't make a difference) and it works great. Though a little more flimsy than the more expensive ones, I found it charges just as well if not better than more pricey models. I got the receiver here Expower(R) Qi Wireless Charging Receiver Card Coil for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 IVA word of advice, don't get the Anker charger. They sent me 2 and neither worked with the S4

Caveat: I do not own an S3, so you might want to verify this yourself. It appears that you can add a Qi-compatible charging tag (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Standard-Wireless-Charging-Receiver/dp/B00BCC2B1Q#) to your battery that will allow you to use any QI charging pad (including the Lerway). YMMV, IANAL, ETC.

I received the Samsung wireless charging back from Amazon yesterday. After I switched the backs the phone would no longer fit in the case. It was an extremely tight fit without the charging back, now it won't fit at all. I'm now in search of a new case for my Galaxy S5. Samsung should have incorporated the wireless charging function into the phone as some other manufactures do.
