Verizon induction charger and D3 back

i picked up the induction charger and back today for my Droid 3.
The new back cover adds weight and thickness. BUT - the rounded edges feel alot better than the stock back
I had to use doubleback tape to get the induction charger to stay on my desk since it is so light. too light to just pick the phone straight up. there are magnets that put the phone in the right position over the pad.
when the phone is in the right position on the pad, it is not in the middle.... i find that sort of weird. it's either high on the pad or low on the pad (depending on the direction)
it charges with decent speed if you have the display off while charging. I will have to use it more tomorrow, but it seemed to only charge me up to 90% and then quit. at least it reset the time since charge meter. The phone warms up slightly while charging, but not uncomfortably.
I am curious about trying the extended battery with this....
verdict - nice.

couple questions if you don't mind:
1 - how much thickness is added with the inductive back cover? Could you maybe take a side by side picture as a reference?
2 - does the charger use the Qi standard for inductive charging? Maybe listed somewhere on the package...

I got too busy to take a shot today....

can anyone confirm that the induction charger is compatible with the extended battery?

Confirmed!
I am using the D3 with extended battery and Inductive charger.

Pictures would be good. Will the inductive charger still be to use all the other docks?

My guess is yes

Yep! Just drop it on the charger at night, pick it up in the morning, no muss no fuss.

i was wondering were did you purchase the induction charger and the d3 back at? i tried looking online and cant find it

I was wondering about a charging pad too are there any others out there that work w/ the droid 3?

Its worth it to me cuz I don't want to end up forgetting my charger at home and having to move it back n forth from my work bag going to work and getting home. It'd be easier for me just to leave it in my bag and use a pad or just another charger. *shrug*

Has anyone found a case/holster that fits with the inductive cover?

Does the inductive charging back work on anything besides the verizon wireless charging pad? I already have a powermat, and was wondering if it was using the same induction technology.

The verizon charging pad is actually from LG, and they say they use the new Qi standard, which Powermat also says they use. Powermat doesnt say how long theyve been using the Qi standard though, so you'll want to check the device before buying. There is also the Energizer inductive pad, which also uses the Qi standard, but those are nigh impossible to find. I ordered a single slot charger off Amazon yesterday, and it is out of stock, so I will see it when I see it.
All in all, I absolutely LOVE my inductive charging. I bought three pads, one for home, one for truck, and one for work. I even fabricated a mount for my truck, so the phone doesnt slide all over the place when I drive fast.
Only problem is that damn loud as hell beep you get when you place the phone down. I took it apart, and tried to remove the speaker, but it trashed the unit. $45 down the drain in the name of modding!

So I got the energizer Qi charging pad, it does work, and does not have a beep. It is larger, less refined than the LG pad, and is a little harder to position correctly.
All in all, I definitely prefer the Verizon / LG inductive charging pad, but that damn beep ruins it for office/bedside use.

External Qi Charging Coil

Has anyone tried one of these?
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P...=UTF8&qid=1385474373&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g2+qi
I'd be curious to hear your experience, I wonder how thick or fragile it is. I'd buy one to test but I am not in the US and would have to import it.

I ordered one a week or two ago. One of my wireless charging pads (which I didn't have any of, so I had to order a couple) arrived yesterday, but still waiting for the receiver coil. Hopefully any day now.
Edit: bah, I forgot, it's being shipped from HK; it'll be a while yet (the pads came from the US).

Awesome, I look foward to hearing your thoughts on it when you get it

They are pretty thin. I've never use one quite like that, but I used the external pads for the Note 2 that I retro fitted into my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus... and it worked extremely well.
I ended up hooking it up to the POGO pins and taping it onto the battery I had to do a little case modding to make it all fit in a normal Incipio Feather case (basically cut a back plate in half, but I had like 5 of them).
So it works really well. The problem I see here though is you are eating up the USB port all the time. With the thin profile cable, I wouldn't attempt to unplug it many times. Just leave it and forget it. Fortunately the G2 has a great battery. My Verizon G2 has this built in, and I Qi Wireless Charge every night.
The Coils are thin, but thick enough to forbid the use of a thin case like a Incipio Feather. If you use this, you are best off using a TPU case that is flexible.

player911 has nailed the situation. My plan is to 'switch over' entirely to wireless charging for the most part, and wifi file transfers -- I don't want to be unplugging/plugging the usb connector in at all. I figure one more charging pad (total 3) should do it... 1 at work, 2 at home kinda thing.
The eBay version of the amazon listing linked seems to suggest it will come with a case (the one pictured). I can't imagine why I would be asked to pick a colour otherwise black or white, when ordering. Yet both listings state "1 piece", so who knows. Will report what I end up with when it arrives. My S3 had the pogo pins so that you could use wireless or usb for charging but I never went that route at the time. The use of the usb port on the G2 did give me pause but I'm going to give it a go.

I would give it a go too. Perhaps temporarily until a internal solution pops up (bound to happen). Even if it doesn't come with a case, TPU cases are a dime a dozen.

I just bought one of these, when I get it in over 2 weeks I'll make a review of it since no one else buying these has still.

Interesting. I look forward to hearing how these work.

I've received my coil from ebay, and "installed" it.
It is working fine, however my battery is almost full, so I can't test now the current. I'll do it later.

Awesome, thanks for the pics! BTW, what charging pad is it that you have there, with the green and red lights?

How thick is the coil? Do you think it is possible to fit it under the back cover? Because I'm planning to do that and run the cable through a hole I want to cut in the back cover so that I can plug it in the usb connector.

Eh that isn't too bad. Looks fine IMO. Besides you don't really need to use the USB port with the Wireless Storage option (awesome feature) and Qi Charging.
So if the port is unused, the also acts like a port saver to keep dirt and lent out.
If you feel lucky and want to further reduce thickness, you can open that package up and remove just the coil. The packaging is basically a thick plastic sticky back that is folded over. Removing the outer plastic housing will cut down 1-2mm. Inside the hard plastic cover, there is the actual coil that is in a black square sticker. The Coil itself is round. On mine, I removed the outer shell and trimmed the unused outside area around the coil. Creates a smaller footprint and gets even thinner.
My goal with my Galaxy Nexus was to fit it in a hard Incipio Feather Slim Case. As it is, any TPU case should work though.

it is thin, but I don't if there is enough space under the backcover, I've never removed it.
I'm still testing it, if my readings are correct it is charging the G2 with at least 400 mA.
Now I've moved it to check how much does the positioning matter.

I've charged it from 50% to 100% using this stuff, it was charging with ~450 mA

Qi is a slow charge. I use mine for my desk and nighttime charging.

fine
400-450 mA charging current.

I've ordered two different kinds, one is the same as Wizard7 that purports 500 mA output and the other purports 750 mA output. I've received neither one yet although according to tracking, the 750 mA one is finally slated for delivery today. But it has a longer cable that I'll figure out how to fold or contend with.
While I fully expected qi charging to be slower, I have to admit I hoped it would be faster than PC USB at least. It would have been a decent solution if I didn't "lose" use of the usb ports but I guess as long as it charges overnight, I can't complain.

Sooo which qi chargers do you guys recommend?
I also bought the charging coil ;D

Best wireless charging pad for leather + Qi/NFC sticker?

After installing one of these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
into the back of a black leather case, I've noticed that this phone/antenna is very sensitive about where you place it on the wireless charging pad. I previously had a Galaxy S4 that I stuck a wireless charging sticker into, but that was much more forgiving about where it is placed on the charging pad.
Both pads I have are single coil. Lots of people speak highly of the Tylt Vue, probably because it has 3 coils. There are other much cheaper 3 coil versions available, and even versions with moving coils that supposedly find the sweet spot automatically.
What is the best wireless charging pad to use with this sticker?

With Tylt Vu do you have to place phone in landscape/horizontal to get it to charge?

Doesn't seem to be a lot of talk on QI Wireless Charging Pads.. What you guys using, with success?

LG has come out with a charger specifically for the G4:
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-LG-Wireless-Charger-WCD-110/dp/B00XPTN0I2/
Looks identical to the one they had for the G3. Does anyone know if this charger (or any other charger) will allow the G4 with the Qi sticker to be easily and reliably placed vertically on the charger, so that there is no other fiddling around that is needed to find the "sweet spot" that is needed for wireless charging to connect and charge?

I grabbed 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Wireles...437331299&sr=1-6&keywords=Qi+Wireless+Charger been great going to grab a 3rd for the living room. Phone is always charged up when I leave the house.
I just toss it on it and I have no issues

Yea I did write a review since I was happy with it for the price it is great. I grabbed it since some other reviewer said it worked with the Otterbox G3 so I figured ok this should work then with the Otterbox G4 and it did.

Lots of people are having problems with their Qi Charging of their G4s. It happens to me too, where the device will just start freaking out midway through the night. SystemUI crashes and I the desktop keeps crashing to a black screen. After a few minutes off the charger, it will recover. I am not sure why it does this though. Charging is a hardware mod. So there has to be some charging software that is freaking out. I've had my Nokia Charger for years. It charges my Nexus 7 2013 and other devices I have. The only problems I have are with the G4... and it isn't consistent. Some days are fine, others are not.
Some have said different chargers work with better results.
I am really disappointed that LG doesn't have official wireless charging backs available (and not the stupid flip case). If you sell a phone with Qi able... sell the damn Qi enabled backplates. I am unsure if maybe I have a bum Qi Sticker, if it isn't aligned 100%, or if it is just the phone itself.
It seems to get stupid when I take it off and on a few times before I go to bed. If I just plop it down and leave it alone, it seems to do better. But if I check my emails in the middle of the night a few times, it seems to be locked up in the AM.

Do people with the official LG flip case have issues with wireless charging I wonder?

What are most of using? Woild you buy it again? If not why? What other if any would you buy? If considering any one brand but price is an issue, at what price would it be reasonable?
I like the TYLT Vu because its a dock and its colors. But its pricey imo, but at $30 would you buy it? The LG dock has gone down to $30 as well.
I also found the LG pad for $20 right now. Any good, worth buying or spending a bit more on another plate or dock?
Let me know your opinions, Im looking to order one really soon. My sticker should arrive this weekend.

These are some I am considering and comparing official LG Qi

Only official charging back is circle case.
Otherwise you would need to do as others have done and buy/ install nfc/qi chip sticker.

No. I tore off the flip cover just like on my G3. QI works perfectly on my G4. I only use the Tylt Vu at home & work, & I have a QI car mount (Choe) for my car. I've never had issues with either. The car charging is slow sometimes b/c I'm always on bluetooth streaming & have my Google navigation going.

I purchased 2 similar magnetic cables by WSKEN on Amazon...$14.99 each. Looks like they are made from the same manufactures but under different names.
The micro attachment is very tight and keeps flush with the bottom of the LG G4...the magnet cable is similar to Apples magnetic charging cables. If you didn't know, you would think it was made by Apple.
I haven't got the chance to test them out since I just received them today, but so far so good.
They need to design different types of attachments, so a single magnetic cable can be utilized with several different charger types.
Overall, I think this was a good idea and should be better than a plain USB to micro cable.

This has the potential to replace wireless charging. Sony has been doing it for years.
Best is that it is so easy to retrofit any device
The problem with the stickers i've noticed when it came out for samsungs a year ago is that NFC does not work properly. So they make the sticker with thinner wires. Now NFC works but then the problem is it takes longer to wirelessly charge than with thicker wires. Next. you have to find a proper charger and depending on the device, if the vendor did not make it you will be lucky to get it working.
Too much hassle....
With the dual sim G4, there is no possiblity for wireless charging at all since the two pins are not even there, i don't think i will miss wireless charging.

My question is:
Does this have any fitment issues with cases or will most cases with a large enough cutout work with these?
If anyone who has these could post the dimensions in LxWxH (in millimeters) I would greatly appreciate it.

Choetech wireless fast charge

*I was given a discount for my honest opinion and review*
First off I'm more of a wire guy. I like to know that my phone is plugged in and always charging.
I did receive the free promo wireless charger from Samsung for the Samsung pay promotion. And I have to say I barley used it. I placed it downstairs in my living room with the thought that when I'm watching TV I can place it on. Never happened lol
Now on to this fast wireless charger...
The packaging was actually very simple and very nice. Something I'm a fan of.

The charger itself was very compact, I got the black color. Comes with a rubber ring along the outside circle for grip.
Lights up green to indicate that it is charging. Here it is compared to the Samsung charger
Overall I love this charger. I actually use it everyday now. I have it set up next to my laptop, which might be the reason why the constant use. Charges the phone up really quick. As fast as the wire in my opinion.
Also for such a small surface, I always place it down and it begins charging.
I think the smaller surface leads you to place the phone down just right for a charge.
Would definitely buy from choetech again.

I purchased 2 Choetech fast wireless chargers and they both went bad after a few months. Got them when I got my Note 5. Decided to buy Samsung's OEM fast wireless charger and still works. Has a built-in fan to keep it from over heating. More expensive but better in my opinion.

So far it hasn't over heated for me. I hope it stays that way

I purchased this charger and got it with the ChoeTech wall charger that's optimal for this wireless charging pad. So far, its been a horrible experience. I tried ti on my S7 Edge for a week and on 2 different S6 Edges. All with the same exact result, it charged approximately 25% an hour. I tried with and without a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I got the same results. I tried it directly plugged into the wall versus a powerbar and there was no difference. The phones and the charging pad would get extremely hot and charge very slowly. The connection was good though and I would get notification on the phone that it was "Fast Charging." Overall, very bad in my view. I got it directly from ChoeTech on Amazon.ca.

*I was given a discount for my honest opinion and review*
First off I'm more of a wire guy. I like to know that my phone is plugged in and always charging.
I did receive the free promo wireless charger from Samsung for the Samsung pay promotion. And I have to say I barley used it. I placed it downstairs in my living room with the thought that when I'm watching TV I can place it on. Never happened lol
Now on to this fast wireless charger...
The packaging was actually very simple and very nice. Something I'm a fan of.

Thanks for the review.
One comment. When doing a review, other than obvious aesthetic judgements (e.g., does it look cool?), you should be fact based and not offer opinions on something that should be measured if you're going to report on it, like charging speed.
It's like Car and Driver saying it's their opinion that a Mustang can go 180 miles per hour. Their opinion on that isn't relevant, they need to measure the car's top speed to report on it.

**This is my original review of this charger**
**This is from back when I had a Note 5 and a LG G4**
I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.

I got this exact same charger when they made a mistake on Amazon, giving it out for free after coupon code.
I finally got to try the fast wireless charging, and it heats up even more than the regular speed wireless charger.
It pulls 10-12W from a quick charger power adapter. 9V at 1.2-1.3 amp. Normal speed Qi chargers pull about 5W.
I don't know the wireless transfer efficiency, but I'm guessing they are about the same whether they use 5V or 9V. So, more energy is being transferred but also more energy turning to heat.
I am hesitant to use it without a fan, so I have a USB fan blowing on to the pad and my phone when I use wireless charging.
