They stated ANY QI charger should work.
Does anyone know how much the wireless charger is going to cost? I don't see it in the playstore. Is it even going to be available in the playstore?
Will a Palm touchstone work with the Nexus 4? That'd be sweet because they're running ~$5.50 or so shipped on Amazon.

Apparently so, there are people on XDA who are stockpiling the Touchstone chargers. I mean you can't go wrong, they're $5.50!

No sadly it doesn't work with my N4. Instead i bought the Maxell wireless QI charger, But the energizer or a duracell ersion should work
The Wireless Gear 5wc800 works with the N4.
Only you have to place the N4 with the usb port on the side where the power button is.
I can confirm this.
The only thing i hate about it is that i can't charge it while there is a skin on my nexus.

does 5wc800 work with a case?

Tomorrow when I get to my office my Note should be there waiting for me. It is coming from Handtec, I am in the USA. Will I need to bring with me an adapter for the charger? ALSO. The charger that comes with the Note, is it like the one that comes with the Galaxy Tab? Sort of iPhone-looking connector - Or (fingers crossed) is it a NORMAL USB mini or regular connector?

No, any microUSB charger will do. I am trying to find a more powerful charger at least at 1A. Anyone have suggestions for a cheap one online? I may check out Target when I am in the states next week.

You will not be able to use the charger that comes with it in the USA without an adapter. It is made for European markets. You can plug the cable with the mini usb and usb connections into a computer to charge it until you get a charger that works here. Buying an adapter is a waste of money. You can buy a charger most anywhere for next to nothing. I bought 4 or 5 on Amazon for $2 or $3 including shipping.

When I had the Galaxy S 2 I used the iPhone charging cube (which is 1A) to charge my GS2 faster and IMHO it is the best charger for Samsung phones in terms of power, portability, and looks. Definitely worth looking into.

I probably have some chargers and I have several adapters too, but HATE THEM. I will bring an adapter with me to the office and then try out chargers at home. Wonder if the one that I plug my iphone/ipad/into works. OR .. I can use the one from my Galaxy Tab 7" right? Then when I sell the Tab (it has phone also) I can give them some other charger.
I am quite fond of the HTC travel charger that came with my mytouch 4g:
search for: 79h0009814m
It's nice and compact.
warning though: I bought a black one off of amazon and it seems to be fake - it doesn't charge nearly as fast as the one that came with my mytouch 4g. It's still compact so I still use it a lot.

Iphone/ipad charger will work if you connect it with cable that comes with the Note (use the mini USB connection for the phone and plug the USB connection into the charger.) One from Galaxy Tab 7" will work as well.

You can use the GTab7's charger, but when you sell it you really should include the proper charger as regular USB chargers will only trickle charge the GTab7.
The Note's charger is 5V/1A, so you should be able to find many suitable chargers for it very cheaply.

I got a nice, thin rectangular charger with my jawbone headset. The first jawbone. I like that the prongs fold in on that charger. would love for it to work on my note.
Getting ready to do this to my gnex and thinking with all the pucks I have laying around it would be fun and beneficial to attempt this with the N7.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I've thought about it -
But, the charger may not have enough juice. The Touchpad uses a different Touchstone charger for that reason, as I understand it. Maybe the smaller N7 would work.
I'll watch any homebrew projects to build a touchstone interface - but I'll probably wait for a charging dock that uses the pogo pins. That would be as convenient as the inductive charger, for me.
I understand what you're saying. Maybe we can rig up two coils for the backplate/battery and use a combo of two pucks lol.

That would be awesome if it did come with it, but I highly doubt it will. They will probably charge some ridiculous amount of money for it. This is what the play store says is in the box..
What's In The Box
Nexus 4 phone
USB sync/charge cable
AC Adapter and cable
SIM ejection tool
Safety and Warranty information
Quick start guide
No. It won't.
my opinion is that it will cost around $30-50. Wouldn't mind paying $30 for it, but not a penny more.
I believe the Nexus 4 uses standard Qi charging technology. No word on the official Nexus charging orb, but if you're just looking for a wireless charging solution, you can find charging mats on Amazon etc. Most of the ones I've seen are fairly expensive though.

Will any inductive power charging mat work? Or does it have to have something specific to the lgnexus?

The charger has to use the Qi standard for wireless charging. Some say that the old, now very cheap, Palm Touchstones may work but there is no official word on whether they use Qi. We'll just have to wait and see.

What wireless charger do you buy for use with this phone? Thanks.
well if they ever decide to release pricing and availability information I wouldn't mind grabbing the Fatboy Wireless Charging Pillow for the new Nokia phones.
This is probably a stupid question, but presumably the wireless charging won't work if there's a case between the back of the phone and the charging unit?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As long as the case isn't metal, it should still charge.
Since it appears Google isn't making their own, can someone list a few good wireless chargers compatible with the Nexus 4? Thanks.
just do a google for " qi charger" you'll find a few
The Palm one is compatible?

Nope!
I would my best bet. The wireless charges that the iPhone use like that energizer pad?
#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
Any QI Charger will charge the Nexus 4.
Touchstone chargers will not work.
Possibly this or the one-position variant of that product.
I have one of the Lumia 920 fatboy chargers, will that work?
I had the Nokia 900 wireless charger from Verizon and it wouldn't work correctly w/ my N4. It kept cycling from charging to not charging. I know it wasn't the chargers problem because it works fine with my dad's DNA. So not sure if I've got a faulty N4 or if the charger just isn't compatible. Anyone else try it?
I have the energizer wireless charger, while it works perfectly with my nexus 4, I must recommend against it.
The reason being the back of the nexus is glass, the surface of the charger is glossy plastic and combined with the slight angle of the charging surface, my nexus is happy to slowly slide on the charging surface.
Easy fix by putting some glad wrap on the surface, but detracts from the clean look of the charger

Exact same problem here (charging-non charging cycle). Neither the wireless charging stand nor the wireless charger on the JVC sounddock works for me (both say they should work with qi compliant devices however)

So I was just thinking, we know the nexus 4 has wireless charging capabilities and also OTG.
My question is will both be able to be used at once ie: connect usb stick to watch movies whilst charging wireless on a charging mat?

I don't see why it wouldn't. I've got a like 6 OTG cables lying around, I'll be sure to check it out as soon as my N4 gets here if nobody else comes up with a definite answer.

Not yet. I plan on going to Fry's tomorrow to see what they have. If I don't see anything I'll probably order one of the energizer ones from Amazon.
Frankly, I cannot understand why they didn't release the charger at the same time. I really hope they don't pull a Sansung and release the accessories 6 months later. On another note, I see the palm wireless charging pods on amazon going for about 15 bucks. I wonder if they will work okay with the n4. Oregon Scientific has a charging mat/alarm clock weather station with Qi technology. It's about 105 bucks, but would be really nice. Decisions decisions.

The energizer qi pads on Amazon are what a lot of people are going with. The LG WCP 700 is also a charger that can be used. The only bad part is that it beeps after the phone has been charged and continues to beep until you take it off. Apparently you can take the speaker out of it and it works just fine if you are willing to take the risk.
