How to add wireless charging to a stock Samsung Galaxy S5 for just $10

The Samsung Galaxy S5 does not, sadly, come with wireless charging out of the box. But for just a few dollars, you can (unofficially) add some Qi charging. But along with that comes a big of a side effect — not the least is that you're probably playing with your warranty with this one. Use at your own risk.

I use one very similar on my Note 3, it's even thinner than the one just shown. No bulge at all, works flawlessly and have had it for a few months. Love it.

Wouldn't the bulge interfere with the rubber seals on the back cover to keep it water tight? Extra pressure could pop the seals open where water could get in.. 10 bucks could cost you a new device

That's what I did with my Note 3. Works fine.

thanks for talking about the official charger covers.

I'm having trouble finding the type from the video. All the ones I find plug into the USB plug, which does me no good, considering the USB port on my phone is trashed. I've searched eBay, guess I'll check Amazon now. If anyone wants to steer me in the correct direction, I'd greatly appreciate the assistance. I also greatly appreciate the video. Thank you.

"Just one with an unsightly buldge"

Lol.

They also block NFC, the charge coil blocks the NFC antenna built into the battery :(

[jorgechiubomberos]

Yes. That bulge makes water leak inside the phone, regardless that it looks well secured. Its better to buy the official backs

[burnzy]

my palm pre had wireless charging 5 years ago with no bulge :/

[niclasj]

The one from fonesalesman is much better because of its thinness, the good quality and the NFC capability.

I installed same wireless receiver 1000 ma on my Galaxy S5. When I using wireless charging my phone get very hot, also when phone charged 100% it never turn off automatic.

[cameroncox]

Will this charge my battery if my charging port is broke?

[adirmugrabi]

[BrianAClements]

Excuse me, sir... no bulge is unsightly. All bulges are just perfect the way they are. They're all sightly!

[warriorharj]

To bad this does not work with the neo version.
