[Q] Qi Charging and Cases - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone explain to me why the Samsung Qi Back and Qi Charger would not work with a case (Say a SPigen Tough Armor) or other thin case? I understand it is a magnetic force and inductive charger, but we are not talking otter box thickness. I'm wondering why it wouldn't work if I put the back on and slid it into the case.
Thank you.

The Qi back is larger and doesn't fit in any current case well. That is the only issue.

Pocket Qi Charger?

I have a thin Spigen case on my Nexus and was wondering if any of you would know if a portable Qi charger would work if I put it in my pocket with my phone? Do any of you have any recommendations for batteries?
qi stone+. if you look in the accessory sub forum you will find many posts on this.
i use the qi stone in a front pocket on a phone case. i slip the phone in the case and the outer pouch has the stone in it and it charges as if it wa a charging sleeve. works well when i need it to.
but the qi stone+ is good on its own. you can power it and it has a usb port to power other gear.

Cases That Work With QI Wireless

I have been using the newisdom upgraded chip and tylt vu charger combo and havent had any problems charging with the spigen neo-hybrid, verus thor and urban armor gear cases.
The Spigen Air Cushion Slim Armor case works with the NeWisdom upgraded Qi chip without any issues with my CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger.
The Diztronic matte TPU case works too

I've got the Spigen Slim Armor case, with a generic wireless sticker and have no issues with wireless charging with either my Itian 3 coil charger or generic puck.
Youd have better answers to the question, "which dont don't work with qi".
Because most will

Interesting. I have the Diztronic case you're talking about and the same charger, but a Yootech receiver. It works fine without the case but won't charge with the case. I've also tried the first version of the Samsung charging pad and it's the same result so I guess I can call it the receiver.

I have no problems using the CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger with the Diztronic case either. I purchased my QI wireless sticker from ebay. Shipped from china or something, not sure on brand.
Any leather back-cover (like the original one) that works with QI charging WITHOUT needing to make the "sticker modification" to the shell?
If not, what is in Your opinion the best wireless QI charging sticker for LG G4?
Thx!

this combo did NOT work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NWMI07S with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V51QOXA. its VERY finiky
I have the Spigen LG G4 Neo Hybrid Case - works perfectly with a wireless charging back ... charges quick and doesn't heat up.

As far as I know there is no official leather cover with qi. Nevertheless you can buy some from china with attached sticker.
I've attached a sticker on my own leather cover and it worked approx. 2 days perfect. But since then no connection and I wasn't able to fix.
Qi charging lg g4
I just cut the front door off a quick circle case and put g4 in a bumper case. Works fine. Better than messing with qi stickers
i got one of these..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151745479...49&var=450942342923&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT works perfect surprisingly and only £7
I have a Otter Commuter case https://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Com...8&qid=1464832541&sr=8-4&keywords=otter+box+g4 works fine and very heavy duty, dropped many times with no problem for phone. 2 pieces.

magnetic car mounts problem for Qi charging?

I have the LG circle case with Qi charging. Love it.
Was thinking of getting a magnetic car mount (requires putting a small metal plate behind the back cover.
I did a little test, and place the small metal plate between my phone and my Qi charger, and sure enough the metal plate got pretty hot.
My question is, will this interfere with the charging? Would it be bad for the phone to do this?
Mine wouldn't charge (as suspected) with the plate in the center of the phone. I had to put my plate in the bottom corner, opposite the speaker hole, to make qi charging and magnetic holder play nice with each other.

I was not able to get both the QI receiver and the metal plate to fit inside the case. I have the plastic cover, not the leather one.
Can you do me a favor and post a photo of your back cover so I can see how you mounted both the QI receiver and the metal plate?

Please do post a pic. I tried to fit both but to no avail. My metal plate is as large as QI receiver and I found it impossible to fit both. I would need to cut the plate in half or more.
I tried using an Aukey magnetic car mount and even with the smaller plate it interfered with my wireless charging and the phone didn't really stick well through my Spigen case. I personally wouldn't recommend them but ymmv.
Let us know how it works out for you...

LG G4 back cover with wireless charging and cases - need a case recommendation

I just got the NeWisdom LG G4 back cover with wireless charging from Amazon. It has a more snug fit and adds a bit more bulk than the original back cover and the quick circle case which I also have.
I also got the NeWisdom 3 coil wireless charger and the LG WCD-110 G4 wireless charger. Wireless charging works with the NeWisdom back cover and the NeWisdom 3 coil charger without a case, but when I put a case on (I tried 2 cases, Spigen Slim Armor and Spigen Neo Hybrid), wireless charging doesn't work at all with the NeWisdom charger.
It does work with the LG WCD-110 but it charges a lot slower than with the quick circle case.
Is there another case that can work with the back cover with wireless charging at the regular speed without slowing it down?
NeWisdom support suggested using a case thinner than 4mm, that this would solve the problem.
Is there a good thin case for the G4 that is thinner than 4mm?
I don't have the NeWisdom back cover, but my wireless charging back works with my Diztronic TPU case and also with my Seidio Dilex Pro. Links below:
Diztronic
Seidio Dilex Pro
I too have diztronic case with a wireless coil stuck in my back cover. Works good.

the otter box commuter and fast wireless charging stand.

I just thought I would let anyone interested know that the otterbox commuter case will not work with the latest wireless fast charging stand. It's too thick for the induction coils to pass through. Both are great products though. I just have to take my phone out of the case when I go to bed and put it on charge lol.
