Qi Standard Wireless Charger Receiver Module for Samsung Galaxy S5 i9600 i9700

I don't normally write Amazon reviews, (this is my first one) but I felt compelled to because of some of the negative reviews for this product which are just not accurate. I have a Galaxy S5 that cannot be charged consistently from the charging port so for the last year or so I've been charging a spare battery using a separate charger and swapping them when required. As you can imagine this can become tedious so when I saw that it was possible to charge the S5 using induction charging I was keen to learn more.Yes, I read the reviews on this product and they were mixed. But it was so cheap I decided to give it a go and ordered a charger as well. And guess what, I followed the advice of previous reviewers and put a layer of tape at the opposite side of the contacts in order for the cover to press down on this area when closed and it has work a treat. (I used a single layer of self amalgamating tape but 2 or 3 layers of electrical insulating tape would achieve the same thickness). I do not see any obvious bulging out of the back cover either. So for a quick summary;Good points- It works on my S5, and relative easy and quick to set up- It is incredibly cheap- There is no bulging out of the cover on my phone anyhowNot so good points.- Charging is slower than for cable connection but that is common to all induction charging and isn't specifically a negative for this unit.- You do have to add some kind of tape on the opposite side of the contacts. (no biggie and done in minutes)

Will work with the standard Samsung Galaxy S5 phone, but not the Neo version.I did buy this Qi charging card for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo. The card was well constructed, and I did use a similar card like this one many years ago to put Qi charging into my Samsung Galaxy S3, and it worked reliably.Unfortunately, Samsung did change the configuration of the charging pins from the standard Samsung Galaxy S5, which uses 3 pins, to the Neo version which only uses 2 so unfortunately it wouldn’t work with the Neo.However the card is well built and thin, and fits without a bulge inside the phone, so it is invisible, unlike many externally mounted receivers, which fit outside the case. If there was a Qi charging card from this company for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, I would certainly buy and fit it.I hope this company can inform us Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo users (SM-G903F) if there is such a card available.Many thanks.

I have an S5 with a faulty connector and so it would only charge with great difficulty and only if I held the mains charger in quite hard all of the time.Having read the reviews of all of these wireless chargers none of them seemed to have very good reviews but I chose this one on the basis that as it was a little more costly then hopefully it work better than a cheap one.When viewing the photo above. It has 2 contacts on the top left hand corner on the reverse face. These need to make make contact with 2 connections on the phone. I positioned these and put some electrical tape over the corner of this wireless charger to ensure the contacts remained touching. This did not work for more than a few seconds even with the phone back on properly.However rather than give up and send it back as the rest all seemed to have rubbish reviews anyway, I built up the same corner that I had stuck down with a few layers of small pieces of electrical tape just over the contact area. This ensures that when the phone back is on, it exerts pressure onto the contacts the whole time and maintains the connection.This now works perfectly and I have so far had no problems with this at all. To be fair, this may also be down to the charger I use with it as well (See below).I ordered this on a Thursday and it was delivered the following Sunday. Fantastic!I have given this 3 stars only because it works as specified when modified.No chance of it working if just inserted as supplied and instructed by the manufacturer.The charger used was ordered at the same time and was the HiGoing Fast Wireless Charger, QI Wireless Fast Charging Stand for Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8 Plus, Galaxy S7,S7 Edge, S6 Edge Plus/S6 Edge+,Note 5 and Standard Charging For iPhone 8/8 plus, iPhone X,LG G6 at £19.99.

This product does what it says. The only issue I had is that the very corner of the 'patch' overlapped the silicone seal / gasket on the back of the phone making it impossible to snap back and this would also be a problem with the waterproofing. I solved the problem by snipping off a TINY (about 1mm) piece of the patch. I don't really recommend this as you could easily cut through some internal parts if you aren't careful.I also agree with others that the best plan is to stick it to the back of the phone, not the battery, so that you can still change batteries if you want to.

Dont listen to the fact that amazon says this item will work for your samsung s5 phone becaue it's a bit of a con. They send you the product and dont supply any instructions whats so ever. You look on amazon and on thepictures there's instructions but its misleading as the instructions show you how to put the s4 one in a s4 and nothing fot the s5 item you've just brought or will have once ordering it! I can't even rate value for money, easy to use or presentation because this item DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!I can't even give this a one star.For starters, it doesn't even fit the Samsung s5...WASTE OF MONEY GUYS!!

You do need to add some tape to the device to both hold it in place and to provide the thickness necessary to make a good connection this will make the back casing bulge slightly this cannot be helped put the back on and put the phone in a case : for what it goes it works fine it would be impossible to make it fit perfectly
