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

"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.

I asked on powermat's live chat if it worked with QI compliant phones and they said it did not.

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.

No Charger with Phone

Just purchased mine for €560 on o2 PAYG have to get it unlocked, i was surprised to see there was no Charger with the phone, the o2 sticker on the says "there's no charger in this box, see how we're helping our planet" :-\ not a big deal I'll just use my Samsung charger but I don't recall anyone else on here saying they didn't get a charger with their phone.
Anyway finally I've got it just need to get this baby unlocked now and I'm flying

It's an O2 thing, they've done some eco-friendly deal with htc apparently. Google if your interested.

That's ridiculous! What's stopping o2 from taking the charger out of the box and then reselling it as an original accessory? What would have happenend if you had come from an iPhone? Would you have had to buy a seperate charger? The mind boggles!

They have teamed up with HTC to do it as far as I am aware. They do sell a non HTC charger thats meant to be more eco friendly for around £7.

The Samsung galaxy S3 charger works ok charging now but I'll have to take off a few quid when selling my S3 without the need charger, it is a bit ridiculous, there are plenty of other ways to "save the planet"
Now to get it unlocked

I think there was a ridiculous statistic involving filling up swimming pools with chargers that never get used.
Mine is still in the box, so there point is valid.

Yeah but what about people who haven't got charger, this means they have to purchase one separately, when you've just spend big money on a phone you shouldn't have to pay extra for a charger.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Speeds also the crucial factor here. Haven't received my One yet but every single phone I've ever used (aside from the iphone actually) charges like a disabled tortoise doing the 100m unless it's attached to the mains.

Perhaps, but we could pretend the cost of the device was cheaper because it had no charger. Although I highly doubt they would make you pay £5 for a new device with a 2 year contract just because it had the charger.
They key might be to haggle a little when you purchased, the assistant thought she was doing me a favour giving me a free One case when I got mine at Phones4U, I did then point out that this was as advertised on the website, but she didn't know that and was willing to throw a £25 case at me.

They have to be careful about this approach though, imagine someone getting a fancy phone like this for the first time, or someone coming from a device like the iphone with a different charger and realizing they have no charger for it ---> pretty pissed off.

Indeed this is true, ive got the Samsung charger so that will do but someone coming from iPhone as you said might be a tad pissed off.

The iPhone mains charger will work just fine.

i think he meant use the usb cable the comes with the htc with the iPhone usb plug, which would work since the voltage sent through usb's are mostly the same. but i can see why you were confused, i myself had to re-read it a few times before my brain actually switched on

I have a sealed UK charger (which I got with my new HTC One) to sell, since I'm not UK-based.
Just for a couple of Euros, plus shipping.

Headphone and charger plugs

Hi, every time i get a new sammy phone i use Smasung Info+ to check basic info as well as other info concerning refurbished phones. i was wondering if you guys checked how many times the charger and the headphones were plugged when u first opened the box? on my s6e it showed 23 times

what do you mean why? i wanna know if its normal that your phone has been used before being sent. Headphones plugged more than once maybe twice during testing, is not something i consider normal. i have to know if they send us refurbished units in our country..

True...but the fill price is even lower than other carriers. It's clear where Sprint cut corners to give us a lower price.
