Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:

It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?
wow, that thing adds wireless charging to a phone that doesn't have wireless charging. that's pretty cool. sorry it didn't work with the N4 tho

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.
buy the lg pad at any verizon store. its 1000ma and only 50 bucks.

So if i need it, i'll try to get one on eBay
Thanks for the post. I had actually been looking at this one on eBay. It's only $50usd shipped in the US ebay. I'm sorry you bought something and ended up waisting your money, but I appreciate you sharing your experience with others so we don't make the same mistake.

YES, i'm perfectly sure
The Philips charger come with an additional "bumper case" that add the wireless charging capacity to Iphone 4 and 4S.
But i don't use that "bumper case", only the charger, and it works

The Oregon Scientific QW201 "Time & Wireless Charging Station" works to charge the phone.
http://www2.oregonscientific.com/ca...-prod-Time-and-Wireless-Charging-Station.html
It also has a few other neat features like remote thermometer. However I'm returning mine for a few reasons.
1. the atomic clock set didn't work
2. viewing angle extremely limited
3. bright blue charging indicator
I'd probably have kept it if not for #1.

Dt900 is rated at a measly 300 mah.

anybody wants to try these? its rated for 1800 mAh batteries.... seeing that some chargers that are rated for 1000 mAh all worked, and that the nokia DT-900's that are rated for 300 mAh did not work, these could potentially work (?). Nexus 4 battery is rated at 2100 mAh ... . anybody here goes to vegas on weekends? :silly: :

Don't think it works, otherwise all of us would have swooped them up by now lol. For one, I don't think it reads anywhere that it's qi standard.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :
http://www.amazon.com/Contact-Charger-Iphone-Include-Adapter/dp/B008YDESXA
http://www.amazon.com/Intec-G7769-Charging-Mat-Playstation-3/dp/B0036VSCTG
Should I test if this is a qi charger? Or is it a definitive no?
From the reviews
" not what I thought it was
December 12, 2012 By Adam B.
This looks like an inductive charger, but it isn't. It is really a contact charger with really wide contact points.
My particular unit had only one of the two controller attachments functional out of the box, so I ended up returning it for a refund as defective. I decided, after having tired it out, to get a different charging dock for a little bit more money, instead, as even if fully functional, it felt cheaply constructed"

I just recently got a Nexus 4, and my girlfriend got a Galaxy S3 for christmas. I know the S3 doesn't have native wireless charging (requires some sort of adapter to the pinout under the back cover, I think?), but I was wondering if there's either: A) a way I can add wireless charging to the S3 that would be compatible with the recently released charging orb through the play store, or B) an option that would somehow work for both, if the S3 can't be made compatible with the orb.
I made an effort to search through other questions to make sure this hadn't been asked before, so forgive me if it has and I missed it!
Rumors have it that Samsung is developing a kit, if its Qi compatible then all Qi chargers will work with it.
The real place to ask the question is in the S3 forums. If they make it Qi youre good, if not then its on them.
I got the adapter from fast tech for the S3 (cheapest I could find it at $15 including shipping) for my Boyfriend's S3. I have a Nexus 4. Once the adapter and my Qi chargers arrive I will report back and let you know. I did not order the orb, but I did get the cheap $35 one from fast tech, and the double Duracell one from amazon.
I think I should get at least the adapter and the double duracell one next week. We also have a variety of cases for the s3 to test with.
I'm hoping that orb will work for galaxy s3. Not only I'm getting useless nexus 4i also ordered the orb. My wife might kill me. Lol. We got Verizon and at least a year and a half on contract left.

I'm using the Energizer dual charger (Qi certified) to charge both my N4 and my wife's GS3. I bought an after market Qi receiver for the GS3 from eBay. It fits under the stock back cover. Works great.
I like the energizer unit since I can do both phones at the same time.

Had various wireless chargers, Nokia beats all, it just works, drop your phone and that's it, no fidling with correct placement or similar nosense.
Though there is a funny thing with Nexus 4 and wireless charging...

I, too, have an S3 and a N4, which are sharing one wireless charger (Power Qi). I had to buy a Qi receiver and apply it on top of the battery for S3. It makes the back of S3 hump a little bit, but the battery cover still snaps in. Of course, S3 feels heavier too.
That said, things work fine. Charging faster than computer usb 2.0 and slower than wall charger, but I can grab it an run whenever I want.
Review is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181042&page=6
In Vietnam it's about 37 USD per unit and the receiver is about 10 USD.
I recently purchased a Google Nexus 5 and I'm looking to buy a wireless charger. I've narrowed down the options to the official Google wireless charger (2013) and the Tylt vÜ. Keep in mind that I have the capacities to buy either one but not both. Any help would appreciated. So according to your opinion which one should I buy ? Thank you for your time !!!
This should of been posted in the "Accessories" section. I would go with the Tylt because it is great quality (not saying the Nexus brand isn't) and it also has the functionality of tilting upwards.
The downside is that the Tylt charger cost more than the Nexus branded charger but if you don't care for the tilt functionality then get the Nexus brand. At least you'll have a few more bucks in your pocket to get some beers .

If you are leaning towards the Tylt, read the accessories forum threads regarding overheating issues. As of right now, the only real guaranteed "fix" is to open it up and disconnect the top coil to keep it from overheating your N5. I had it, and really liked it until it happened to me. I sent it back for a refund due to Tylt kind of turning a blind eye to the issue at the time. They still haven't completely rectified the issue either.
I actually use a Nokia DT-900 and the LG N4 Charging Orb. Both work flawlessly.
I bought the LG WCP-300 charger and it works very well.
If you travel about, maybe go camping often etc. Maybe you should consider a battery pack wireless charger like the Lugulake

Use caution: I bought a zen wireless charger. The phone has a silicon case and when charging it becomes extremely hot.
I have a Powermat PMM-1PA that I bought when I got my Sprint HTC EVO 4G when they first came out. I am getting the Nexus 5 in 2 weeks when my contract is eligible for upgrade. I want to know if the Nexus will work with this Powermat. I cant seem to find out online anywhere if it will. I appreciate the help!
The power mats aren't Qi comparable.

None of them are or just my model? How do I tell?
Duracell Power Mats use a different standard. If you would like to use wireless charging then you will need a charger that is "Qi" compatible. Search Amazon, and there are a few threads (more than a few) on XDA. Some are inexpensive and some aren't. I prefer the Google charger for the N5, but there are many to choose from. Nokia makes some nice ones as well. Go to the accessories subsection, a nice thread there to get you started.
