Since I need to preserve my unlimited data from Verizon, and cannot accept a subsidized phone, I decided to at least add wireless charging to the Revolution. I know this is nothing new, but I thought I would share what I have learned so far. I have two Revolutions (one for me, one for wife), so I bought two battery doors that are required for wireless QI charging. I got them on Amazon for $14.99 each:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009R0ODHA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Also needed is a QI charging pad. I bought two of the ones that LG made for this and a couple of other phones (costly at $40 each, but they will work with future QI enabled devices as well):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DMBSVA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
I like to have chargers available around the house and rear porch, so I am also going to experiment with these chargers as well, and will report back how they work; they are only $20 each and are dual chargers:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F0RQ0O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
The charging through the LG charging pad works great. There were complaints in the reviews at Amazon about beeping from the LG charger, but after 3 nights with two of them running, I haven't heard any noises that have woken either of us. We just set the phones on the charger, the base indicates charging has begun and the screen displays that wireless charging has initiated with a big battery status bar.
This QI charging is a feature I will look at closely when the time comes to select new phones. As it stands, I have 4G, HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, big screen and don't use the phone often for heavy gaming. To prevent the need for Verizon's subsidy on a new device (equaling loss of unlimited data), I will just wear these out for another year or so (maybe even longer). I have an ASUS tablet for the heavy stuff anyhow.
Is the wireless back much different than the regular back cover depthwise?

It adds depth, the phone becomes thicker. It is supposed to be 1.5mm deeper, but I think a little more.

I just bought the inductive charging cover for the Droid 4 and a Nokia DT-900 charging pad. I'm loving the reality of wireless charging so far. No more searching for a charging code that's fallen on the floor when going to bed. The DT-900 is a nice charging pad and appears to charge the phone quickly. I like the fact that the plate doesn't make any noise when I place the phone down on it. My only complaint is that the phone has to be placed fairly low on the pad to properly charge. If I center the phone on the charger, it appears to charge for a few minutes, but then gives me a flashing light to indicate improper charging. This wouldn't be as big of a deal if the error was more immediate. Has any one tried any of the other charging pads out there such as the LG WCP-300 to see if there are better alternatives out there?
I am using a Ghost-100 by Insipio that i bought because my usb port broke and i haven't had time to take it apart and resolder it. It seems to work just fine for me plus it really wasn't that expensive even buying it from Verizon. I have only had it for a few days however so we will see.

I live in Hungary, too. It's not impossible, you have to check eBay quite often, as there are very few wireless charging covers are up for sale. Last one was listed about a week ago. The main problem is that it's quite expensive for us with shipping (you won't be able to buy it under 50-60 USD - 10-15000 HUF).
What other accessories you want to buy? Send me a PM, maybe I can point you in the right direction.

I live in Canada, and had small issues finding the charging pad that works as well as the battery cover that works with the charging pad.
I took the recommendations from the Verizon website and bought the Verizon/Motorola wireless charging cover, and the LG wireless charging pad.
I bought both from https://www.fusionelectronix.com/
They are located in the USA, and i called the phone number before I ordered. They answer their phones. and The person I spoke with was extremely friendly and gave me a custom deal on shipping. I had my items within 2 days and everything was perfect.

I recently have been running through USB cables and got tired of not being able to count on a steady charge overnight. So I decided to purchase the inductive charging cover from Verizon's website and a PowerBot PB1020 off of Amazon. It works great and was only around $20.

As I am guessing you've long since replaced your Droid 4, would you be willing to part with the charging cover? I am searching high and low but can't find one for sale.

So I have been doing a lot of looking and this is my first phone with Wireless/Qi charging. Here is what I found so far. What is everyones experience, favorites, and ones to avoid? Two of the main issues Ive seen are, how finicky is the charger on where you place the phone. And does it trickle charge. If it "turns off" at 100%, your phone will start to discharge and youll wake up at 90%.
LG-WCP-300 - seems a little small. Would love a slab type that I can just plop my phone down and hot worry it'll tip over because I put it too far to one side. It charges at 1.8 which is nice (I think per androidcentral, the power cord is 1.8, but the base drops it down to 1A, oh well)

Nokia DT-90 - some say you have to get it in that "sweet" spot, which is annoying when you are wanting to just put it down and go to sleep.

Panasonic Qi Charging Pad QE-TM101-K - doesnt trickle charge. So when it gets to 100...it turns off, then when your phone gets to ~95% it turns back on and then on and then off...and so on...no good. Although the size and ability to put it ANYWHERE and know itll start charging it perfect.

I got the Nokia for my G2 based on all the reviews. No sweet spot needed so far. I just basically place the phone on the plate and it charges.
Went with the Nokia as well.Works fine.
I like the devices offered by TYLT - not only the QI charger due to its ability to serve as a table stand while charging the phone, but also the power plant and the USB connector cables are interesting. The design is nice, too. Has anyone recognized this brand and used their products?
Really like the Tylt Vu....been eyeing it forawhile, and may scoop one up.
I'm also interested in this: http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/cr-200/ A little pricey but A LOT of functionality.
do you all charge your devices every night? all the old talk about not charging your device all the time so you don't "wear" out your battery. Is it actually better to have a charger that turns off and on? I liked the tylt charger too, thinking that or the nokia.

I have it and I'm very happy with it. Charges quickly despite specs and there is no "sweet spot." Just drop and charge. Also, I like the cable from the wall outlet to the base was longer than most so it sits nicely on my desk at work.

Verizon is the only one.
Just pulled the trigger on the TYLT VU, liked the idea of having it upright a little. I think the LG charges faster but Ill be charging overnight so no biggie. FYI...Nordstrom is $100 but from TYLT is $70!
dt-900 is $25 @ AT&T's store... if you have a premium corporate discount, drops another 50%.. Just got 2 for $25 shipped
I picked this one up, but now i'm unsure because it says there is a 1A output, doesn't that mean it will say it's slow charging? Love the idea of being able to charge on the go.

It would be nice. I have an N7 but haven't bought a charging pad yet because I didn't feel I'd get enough use from it. My N7 battery easily lasts me a full day and I just throw it on the charger at night. No big deal.
I use a Moto X right now and tether my N7 to it on my daily bus commute (~2 hours each day) and I usually need to give the battery some juice before I leave work to have enough for tether on the ride home and the remainder of the evening.
When I get the Turbo, it will easily last a full day. I don't think I'd ever really need the full two days of battery life, but it would be great for long days. My Moto X right now can't make it through an entire day with my usage. I know I'm probably above the bar in SoT (usually 3.5-4h), but I average about 13h, according to GSAM over the last 8 months. Could use a nice big battery to keep me going for 18-20 hours.
I guess it does have wireless charging...
The new DROID comes with a turbo charging feature so when you’re low on battery, a 15 minute charge can get you up to 8 hours of use. DROID Turbo comes with the Motorola turbo power charger in the box at no additional cost. And for added convenience, the new DROID is wireless charging capable.

Awesome..thanks for that
Semi-related.. Can anyone suggest a nice charging pad? I've looked at them for my N7 before and the prices seem to range pretty widely. I understand they charge pretty slowly.. but are they all the same for speed? Does the device need to be perfectly aligned in order to charge? Can I charge two devices at once (N7 and Turbo)?
I'm thinking I'll throw a pad on my desk and one at home, either in the living room (coffee table/end table) or bedside table.
There are some features of a phone that you appreciate more when you have them than you do when you read about them. An example might be high speed charging, their are a few technologies out there for this but the bottom line is when you have it you really come to like it. Its very nice when you have forgotten to charge your phone and you suddenly decide to go out to be able to get a charge on it that will see you through in the time it takes for a quick shower. When it was new and I first read about this it sounded good but no big deal, I usually make it through the day fine and charge over night. Now that I've had it though I really like it.
This is kind of a long way to get around to it but wireless charging is the same way. Its very nice to simply have the pad on the night stand or wherever you may put it and drop your phone on it without having to plug it in. It seems like nothing much but once you get used to it having to plug in seems like a bit of a hoop jump. One benefit of wireless charging that often gets missed is port damage, I have had more than one phone in the household that met its demise by tweaking the micro usb slot so that it either wouldn't charge or couldn't transfer data or both. My understanding is we will still have to plug in to get high speed charging but the ability to do both if we want is a very good thing in my mind.

Good points. I held off on a pad for my N7 because the battery easily lasts me through the day, two if needed (I usually charge it every night, though). Even though the Turbo probably wouldn't need to be topped off during the day like my Moto X would benefit from, it would be nice to have the option. I agree on the Turbo charger too. Great in a pinch if you are at an airport or something and just need some quick juice for a flight or something.
3.9Ah batt's gonna take a long time to charge with a 700mA limit though.
Should be OK overnight. Then again if it's only discharged to 60% when you start it shouldn't be hateful.
Yeah, wireless charging works best where/when you are going to set it down for a while such as over night or when you place the charger where you set your phone in the evening. I used both, one on the nightstand and one on the end table by my chair. In the latter case it is quite convenient since you can answer a text or what have you and simply set it right back down and its charging again. This is why I think its a great feature to have both wireless and high speed by whatever name, they should complement each other well. I say should because I've had both but not on the same phone, I'm really fairly stoked about this handset for this and other reasons.
Can we take a minute and just appreciate having this ability built-in? Being able to keep my phone topped up by literally just setting it down on my desk is pretty awesome.
Mods please remove if my fanboy is leaking.
I ended up getting a Sony battery pack + wireless charger device from Verizon when I got my Edge (no doubt some will know what I'm talking about).
It's definitely chunkier than your typical wireless charging pad, but I get 3+ full phone charges from it before it has to be recharged itself (also has pass-through, so you can still use it to charge your phone while it's plugged in).
Build in wireless charging is definitely a great feature.

That's the one (or at least I think it is, there's always the possibility there's a newer model that I have - but it looks/functions the same).
Don't let the negative reviews sway you, a lot of people complain that it's hard to get it to work but I believe that's only because they didn't read the instructions. It states that once you hit the button (to active wireless charging on the pack) you have to place the phone on it pretty quickly - if you don't, it'll start charging and stop after a few seconds. It works just fine through my incipio case and as I mentioned in my above comment I get 3+ charges from it when it's fully charged itself.

This is my first time with wireless charging, and I have to say, what a great feature. I now don't charge with the traditional cable unless I am in my car. I have a four 3 coil chargers from RAVPower and CHOE and they are nice. No issues charging at all. I have a friend who has an Incipio Ghost 120 wireless charger and my phone charges without an issue on that as well. Yea, I don't think I am going to go back anytime soon to regular wired charging unless I have to.

I bet it won't. I don't see them adding wireless charging until it can be called "Wireless Warp Charge"
Everyone said the same about the 6/6T last year.
I doubt they add wireless charging. It's more parts with very little adoption that will increase the price. They already can't be making a ton of money off this phone, I can't see them adding something that they can't charge more for.
Don't need it. Don't care.
I can't understand why wireless charging is still considered such a premium option. It renders your device useless unless you are going to use it while on the wireless dock. At least with a cable I can still pick up my phone if I choose to and use it almost normal.
I had a V30 that had wireless charging and I only used it when I went to sleep at night. What difference does it make how the device is charged in that scenario?
If they want to add WiFi charging, then we are talking but I don't even think that is a thing. I'd rather the precious space in a smartphone be used for other more useful technologies.
This post is just another reminder that some people just don't understand the speed of technology. Wireless charging is not yet adopted because it is still first generation technology. Your phone charges faster wired than wireless and it's just true for any type of device. Wireless charging is like using solar panels. After a long time you will eventually have enough energy.

I never understand this wireless thing. You cannot use your device while charging, its slow and heats up your phone (usually), the charger has to be plugged into somewhere anyway and it adds cost and people are already complaining that it is to expensive.
Can not understand wireless ???
I do not get this comment and I heard it time after time.
I have a wireless charger on my night stand.
No looking for cables in the dark.
No mechanical connector you got to plug and unplug at least once a day. You think USB C sockets can not go intermittent ?
Just glance at the phone "always on display.... guess we do not have that either", the phone acts like a digital clock.
Oh yes you need hours to charge the phone but why would you care, go to bed the battery can be at 20% in the morning hours later it will be at 100%.
Yes OnePlus does not support wireless chargers but this is something I personally miss.
I can almost guarantee it won't, OnePlus sees no reason to add Qi charging
I'd rather have warp charging. You get enough juice to last a while with just minutes of charging, I'm more than happy with that.
It’s not an either/or thing.
Wireless charging still degrades your battery faster over time due to the increased heat dissipation. This is one prime reason why the technology is not evolving as fast.
If you really want wireless charging you can just get the adapter for it on amazon. It takes up your usb charging port and sticks to your case. I don't really miss it so no big deal.
Numerous purported experts with titles like Doctor of Electrical Engineering occupy all of the top 10 spots on Google... Care to cite any source that agrees with your claim?
It's a useless feature that the big companies want you to want. It's a really bad feature. With how dash/warp charging is I can use my phone while its charging and not have it slowed down. Better than being useless for far longer on a wireless pad.
Lol you guys don't know what you're missing, my girl has wireless charging built into her car and man that **** is so convenient. We have restaurants here that has wireless charging in the tables. I love being able to walk in the house and just lay my phone on the charger and go shower or whatever without having to bend over and plug it up. Don't really care about the speed of the charging even though Samsung has a pretty fast wireless charging capability on the S9 and S10. But for $700 bucks I'm not mad it doesn't have it but it would've been sweet if it did. I'm sure soon as one plus decides to implement wireless charging the price would creep up to about 8 or $900, so I'm good without it. Just keep the prices low OnePlus ?
Buy one of these and now you have wireless charging. I use this on my OnePlus 6T.

I hear you on all that. I love wireless charging on my S10+, it's so convenient.
I have the Pitaka case and MagMount Qi magnetic car mount. It's so easy just to slap my S10+ on it and it starts wirelessly fast charging while in my car. I have a few Samsung wireless chargers throughout my house also.
Wireless charging is more about the convenience than the speed.

Can not understand wireless ???
I do not get this comment and I heard it time after time.
I have a wireless charger on my night stand.
No looking for cables in the dark.
No mechanical connector you got to plug and unplug at least once a day. You think USB C sockets can not go intermittent ?
Just glance at the phone "always on display.... guess we do not have that either", the phone acts like a digital clock.
Oh yes you need hours to charge the phone but why would you care, go to bed the battery can be at 20% in the morning hours later it will be at 100%.
Yes OnePlus does not support wireless chargers but this is something I personally miss.

Umm you can go to bed with 20% battery and wake up Anna charge it and before you finished breakfast and got dressed, it's already at 100%.
Wireless charging has turned people into sheep and they got all the extra money from you and laughing all the way to the bank. More expensive phones, $50-$100 for each charger your buy. Lol really a useless feature
