I hope you have been reading the news, or looking at the Nexus 4 manual, or watch the Google's Verge promotional video or this upcoming Nexus 4 announcement event before assuming that.
But here I am being a sucker thing it was supposed to come free with the device.

Watching the Verge video you can hear them saying that it's not ready yet. So I suppose it might be ready at November 13th. Or later. Who knows ? !

You can buy Palm Touchstones on Amazon or eBay for $3 to $9 USD. If the Google ones are more than that you can go that route. Or get one of those Nokia 920 pillow things. They all use Qi charging.

I wonder if other chargers like these would work with the N4

Yes they will, that's why he suggested them. It uses the Qi standard, so anything that uses Qi will work with the N4, and both the Palm and the Nokia use Qi.

If I try wireless charging I think I'd want a pillow so my Nexus 4 can sleep sound next to me
But really, a soft charging dock would be nice

According to this webshop: http://www.3.dk/Privat/Mobil/Mobiler/LG/LG-Nexus-4/
It will cost 80€ and start shipping in the beginning of December

[Q] Will Nexus 4 recharge on a Duracell Powermat?

Will Nexus 4 recharge on a Duracell Powermat? I've read a few articles about the different wireless charging standards, but most of them are pretty vague about the differences and if there is cross-compatiblity (even if at a reduced efficiency).

I've got a Powermat PMM-1PA and wondered the same thing. The Nexus 4 is Qi compliant when it comes to wireless charging. The best info I've found so far comes from here

So, it sounds like it will work.

So Powermat is Qi compliant? Very cool.

Yeah, I emailed them to check and make sure before I bought something, and they it was a no go.

Hi people,
just to clarify, this is not what says the president of powermatt:
http://www.wirelesspowerplanet.com/news/10-questions-for-daniel-schreiber-president-of-powermat/
and always this is not what customers on amazon are saying:
http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Qi-Enabled-Position-Inductive-Charger/product-reviews/B0041RRORA
Powermat is QI compliant.

The Duracell powermat does not specifiy that its a "qi" device.. I have witnessed the lg qi charger go up $12 in under 24 hours from retailers on Amazon in fact many sites are sold out. The lumina chargers are going for over $90!!! The gouging has begun for the holiday season.

I know for a fact the Duracell Powermat M1PB1 from Amazon DOES NOT work. Purchased it and returned it because it didn't charge my phone. Shame, it was great build quality and really good looking, IMO
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Really? Sorry for the post stating it does. I'll take it down. Dude, I looked on sooo many sights and came to the conclusion it would. Sites said it was "qi"compatible. So angry. Gotta return mine when it arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. I can believe you can't get that info from the Duracell web site, almost as they mislead you by not mentioning its compatibility.

Here is the tweet from powermat saying it is not qi compliant.

This has been covered. Powermat is not qi and will not work. Done and done.

hi I came across this discussion and thought that the info i have will help so i joined just to post it
I didnt bother doing any research and bought this
ebay uk item
170973013624 its a portable 3 device powermat with hinges to fold it down and 3 of the tranciever things.
possibly available elsewhere
it cost £5
I can confirm that
IT WILL CHARGE THE NEXUS 4
you just have to get it lined up right.
the sweet spot is in the middle of the phone when placed at 90 degrees to the mat just slide it back and forth till you hit it.
and no i don't mean it works with the tranciever thingys it works nativley
I know they are not supposed to but well proof of pudding is in a charging nexus 4 on this mat is it not?
hope this helps some of you.

That item has nothing to do with this thread as this thread is specifically for the Duracell power at which does not work.

I can confirm that the single Powermat does not work to charge the Nexus 4.
I was in-stores and found the Powermat at $8, asked the clerk to let me test it first... it didn't work.
I tried to place it carefully, sliding slowly to hit the sweet spot, but nothing... doesn't work.

What do you use for Wireless Charging?

As title suggests.. Wondering what people with an N4 already use for their wireless charging needs.
I am looking for something with a reasonably large surface area i can put on my bedside table. (Idea would be just lay phone on it when going to sleep.. but not care about orientation or position). It would need to be flat as i sometimes keep my N7 on there and other stuff..

I'm waiting, 1) the ones out now for the most part are expensive $50+ and 2) all of them seem to have some type of issue
IF I was going to buy one it would probably be the LG but for a larger surface area there is the energizer 2 device panel, I was really hoping the nokia pillow would be flawless.

was gonna wait like you too...but few days ago my local craigslist had a listing for a dual energizer qi charger for $30!...so the wait ended.

I use the maxell one
maxell air voltage
Started with it on the bedside table but moved it to the desk (logic being I'm far more likely to be picking up and checking the phone while I'm awake just plug it in at night)
Happy with it so far but for what it is its too expensive.
Waiting on the m-cloud tilt version which I like the look of. Then I'll switch up where the chargers are.

Is that the same LG charger that is constantly out of stock and not even being sold in some countries ? :silly: It's a good job the Nexus is a Qi compatible phone and we aren't restricted to LG's offerings if we were some of us would die of old age before we get our hands on their chargers.
Using a Maxell here myself, I had a bit of a problem to start with though but once I disabled the daydream feature on android the phone wirelessly charges like a dream. If I ever live long enough to see it I will probably buy the LG Orb for the Nexus as well, that is assuming I live long enough and I have more luck than winning the lottery at trying to buy one.

I really had no problem buying it from Verizon. If it's super imperative, I would buy a few and sell at cost, but is no longer allowed on xda . I basically just walked in and paid $50.
They will order it for you if you ask.

Yep, that's the one. And I agree it's great that the standardized qi is being used. Hopefully wireless charging really takes off and the LG charger is more readily available and the orb is released.

I bought the LG one on sale at Verizon (US) for $50. They also had the Nokia one for the same price, but I went with the LG because it seemed less finicky than the Nokia. I also like the LG's less slippery surface. I may someday want to prop up one end of it, though it's not THAT non-slip. If I had more money, the JBL charging boombox seemed really neat. I just think $250 is a bit steep.

I am using the LG one as well, shipped over from the states (I am in the UK). Stuck it in a travel adapter and it works great. I followed the instructions someone posted here to nix the speaker cos the beep was too annoying and it is now a lovely silent desk companion! The LED is plenty of notification for me

The verizon version has wireless charging.

I know an official case is in the works for the international G2 but whether or not we can use that, well, I've got no idea. I'd like to see a hardware teardown and if all other variants are the same, then I imagine we should be able to use it.
Edit: This is all we've got to go on for now.
LG has confirmed with Pocket-Lint that the manufacturer will be making an accessory available to give wireless charging capabilities to the handset, at least in Europe.
Now this seems a little odd for Verizon to have a worldwide exclusive on wireless charging, but we have to at least give a small bit of credit to LG for making something else available. (Naturally, we would have preferred if LG didn't cave to such a crazy demand.) Unfortunately at this time LG was unwilling to confirm the pricing or release date of such accessory, even as the phone gets ready to go on sale next month.

Take a look at the thread here
Looks like the may be a way to mod wireless charging... if we find out which pins are for wireless charging then we just need to get one of the many QI inserts and put the coil in it.... or take the verizon coils out. I would like to see if the verizon version will be able to remove the back cover and if so which pins it connects to...

Bell will be carrying the LG G3

I was talking to a sales person at Bell today, and he said the LG rep was in yesterday talking about the G3, and that Bell will be carrying the phone.
He also seemed to think the phone will be available on May 27. Perfect timing for me, as I'm up for a new phone in June!

LG knows to release their phone on all major carriers already, if you had G2 you most likely will have G3

if it's true that it will actually be available on the 27th, that's the best news all day.

i would get it too, hoping it will have support for me on Tmo USA

sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or One X +

Good day...I just picked up the g3 from Bell, and am wondering about wireless charging...Talked to Bell, and they don't seem to know...I know the back that the phone ships with only has the standard two pin connection. I am asking this because Rogers variants of the g3 only support PMA charging, like AT&T versions. I am hoping Bell didn't go this route. Does anyone know if the Bell g3 supports Qi charging, or do I have to go with the PMA enabled Circle Case from LG, which people have been having problems with. Thanks

Every canadians versions cannot use wireless just like at&t even if you buy a wireless kit its not supported ...its bad for us but we also paying the phone a bit less than US market
From Lg G3 "the beast"

All Canadian models are the same as At&T and support PMA. I don't think it works out the box though.

The only way I know of is to get the Quick Circle cover with PMA wireless charging capability. I picked up a case off of ebay (after having an issue with an Amazon seller that sent me the wrong case) and a duracell powermat off of Amazon. It works pretty well.

Oh I taught it was not working at all im really happy if we just have to buy a back cover with the wireless charging sticker on it
