I have no idea how this wireless charging thign works. Do I need to buy a dock? Will any work? Somebody link one for me on amazon or something? lol

Any QI wireless charger will work. I recommend Nokia. AT&T sells these.

So a Nokia QI charger will work with the G2?

I wish it would work with my Palm Pre wireless charger puck. Ugh, I wish I could still use WebOS.

Will this wireless charger work?
They sell it on the verizon website as well, but when I clicked on "See if its compatible with your phone" It says it's not compatible with the LG G2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3NCC5K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
and it suggested that I get the LG Wireless charging pad instead

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.

Yes, that one will work.
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.

I found this one. Looks kinda cool, If i'm looking at it right it appears to be a wireless charger that has it's own battery so you can charge your phone on the go with no wires.

This one is available from AT&T for $24.50. Buy three and they give you an additional discount. Got 3 for $60 including tax.

Wireless charging? Upset? Wireless charging case?

Anyone else upset about lack of wireless charging? And anyone know of a case that is in the works?

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...

Samsung Gear VR Offer (Website open to receive claim forms)

If you preordered and have already received your S7 or S7 Edge. (At this point I assume that only T-Mobile has started to deliver preorders).The website to submit your Samsung Gear VR offer form is now active. https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/gearvr/en-us/
Keep in mind that you need to have already received your phone because IMEI and MAC address are required. Also have in hand a copy/scan of your purchase receipt.

And if I purchased/preordered online, I would just submit my EIP or what?

I submitted the pdf file of my Jump Of Demand lease agreement. But you can also submit a screenshot of your EIP as long as it shows your name, date of purchase and IMEI (I have done it before).

I've been a happy T-Mobile customer for several years. But letting me have my S7e so early is the cherry on top hehehe.

You have to wait. You need the MAC address in the phone.

It takes weeks for approval, so I doubt anyone will get it so soon.

I had alert set for 9:30am tomorrow so now I don't have to worry about that. lol Thanks! Also I noticed that I think Samsung said free VR when supplies last or something. I know T-Mobile's website says 2/23-3/18. I hope all of those people in that time frame get one. I would think if you ordered in that time frame you should be able to get the promo's. If not going to be a lot of pissed off people. I bet the VR's go on back order. I think they did with the Note 5 Samsung Pay promo. The quicker you get this promo submitted the quicker you'll get your free VR/Netflix a year. I already have a VR and a year free of Netflix. lol
I just registered my Samsung Pay card and got a free Samsung wireless charger. I had 3 wireless chargers already. lol My old Tylt one no longer charges my S7 Edge for some reason. I had no issues with my Note 5. I wish this free one was the new Samsung wireless stand. That's nice but $70 bucks.

Does anyone know if the Verizon Gear S2 offer is for the Bluetooth version or the Verizon 3G Model that you have to pay for monthly? Verizon doesn't have a clear answer for anything. Every person you ask tells you something different.

Probably the regular one since the 3G is probably $100 more. Just a guess

Just got an email saying my receipt was not readable and blurry. Don't understand how when I just took a screenshot of my EIP agreement and sent that. So this time I took a picture of the receipt I got when bought it at the store. Hopefully that works.

My Tylt was always flakey with my S6E, but now with the S7E its really flakey. Try upside down or sideways. For an accessory whose main purpose in life is wireless charging, Tylt could have spent a little more effort on increasing the size of its coils.
Until I get the new charger I've actually been using one of the older Samsung tray chargers and the S7E doesn't quite fit in the curved well of the tray. It floats a mm or two above it, suspended by the curved edges. But at least it works reliably.
The Tylt will end up in an electronics recycling bin...

T-Mobile S8/S8+ Waiting Room!

Since we have a room for Verizon and AT&T let's start one for us on T-Mobile.
Pre-Ordered S8+ in Arctic Silver Shipping 4/20-4/21 but my friend at T-Mobile said they have to list that date by law. It will be out earlier at least on Magenta!

Got invited to unpacked2017, got the Royal treatment and got to meet DJ Koh! Have the S8+ with upgraded promo (adds wireless Harmon headphones and another 256gb SD card) on preorder! My buddy who won the promotion got a free S7, vr gear, and all kinds of other cool stuff, free hotel, over 3k in cash for taxes and spending money, oh and 2 free S8+ on the way! Had one hell of a great time in NYC.

What's the deal with the Gear VR promo? I know all of the major carriers are offering it, but I wasn't clear when I placed my order how it works. Does T-Mobile ship it with the phone, or do we have to send away for it after we get the phone?

Send away for it. But it can all be done online. I've never had an issue in the past.

I preordered mine on the Samsung website but when. Asked for carrier I clicked TMobile. Is that the same thing as going to the TMobile store or will that be the international edition?

Is that a good or bad thing? I honestly haven't had a custom ROM or anything in that nature since the G1. So rooting and custom ROM's I consider to be new to me, in that sense would I be able to do that on this phone because I just read that it has its bootloader locked?

God I've been checking the "check status of order" on my tmobile app endlessly hoping they ship it sooner than the 20th haha, impatiently waiting for the s8+ in black

I'm sure they have a fort built with all the boxed up phones or they are using them as chairs and tables in the shipping department ?

Wireless Warp Charger Promotion

When i pre-ordered my OP8Pro it came with a free Wireless Warp Charger Promotion which would be sent within 60 days. However i didn't get it (yet).
Did any of you receive their free charger?
At least OnePlus didn't honor their promotion at my end.

Actually i did write them but they can't tell when I will receive it. They say it's an automated process and they don't know when I will get mine. I will get an email notification once they shipped it.
So far the mentioned 60 days have gone by and no Warp charger received yet.
