The verizon version has wireless charging.
Another reason I might go to the Note 3. I love 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...

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

"when a Powermat device meets a Qi-compliant device, it will interoperate with that device in accordance with the Qi specifications."

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.
So I found this while going through the accessories that T-mobile has for the nexus 4 http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...791-e0fde6e2cae8&inCart=True&catCode=22&qty=1
Does anyone know if its qi standard or not? Will it work with Nexus 4? Maybe a dumb question since they wouldn't sell something that doesn't work but you'd be surprised. Thanks
It's not supposed to.
not its not I dont believe.
They took their time implementing it, and now run as a competing standard from what I have read
I figured. Otherwise they would have listed it in. Guess I'll have to go with the energizer mat for now until google releases theirs.
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

It's Amazon, try it out and if it does not work return it. It's free to return. No risk in trying it out. I'd be interested in knowing too. That Nokia pad is a lot more classy than the ones Verizon sells.

I have that charger and the Verizon G2, confirmed working this evening. Works through a double layer case as well, no problems.
Also, if you don't want to wait, Verizon sells that wireless charger in the store, usually black only, for $50.
The LG wireless charger is awful. Get the Nokia and you will be happy.

Just noticed that as I added my card to Samsung pay.
If you register a card before March 10, you get a free wireless charging pad from Samsung.
Just an FYI, Samsung is giving away the regular wireless charger, not the newer wireless fast charger. Also, it will come in a plain OEM packaging (plastic bag).
