Anyone having trouble wireless charging on N4? - Nexus 4 Accessories

Anyone having trouble wireless charging on N4?
when I place my N4 on lumia 920 Qi Wireless charging Plate or Maxwell Qi Wireless plate, it will displaying charging then not charging.
I thought I can use any Qi Wireless charger to charge my N4 but doesnt seem so on my case.
Any Suggestion?

No problem on my lg charger. Check to see if NFC is on, on your phone.

People have reported this as well with the lumia wireless charger..

Also keep in mind once the battery reaches 100%, the pad will stop charging until the phone reaches a certain point. Where the LG and I think the Engergizer/Maxell ones re-start charging when phone reaches 95%.
Also with the Lumia charger, there have been reports that this pad needs a power cycle then it will work. Meaning it's like putting a pencil in an old school carburetor to get it to start. I personally have the LG and Energizer pads and both work.

I have both the LG charger and the Lumia charger. The LG one works perfectly, but the Lumia one just charges on and off repeatedly. No matter the position, I couldn't get the Lumia charger to work with the N4.

not even going to go there. i guess if you need something in a pinch...
the lumia charger runs at like 300ma or maybe its 500. but i think its 300. plain and simple... that is not enough. the people that have zero issues are running qi chargers at 1000ma.

Does anybody know if the Nokia Qi Charger DT-601 for Lumia 920 works with N4?

Does anybody know if the Nokia Qi Charger DT-601 for Lumia 920 works with the Nexus 4?
I read something, that cheaper Qi chargers have no trickle charging, which is quite essential if you dont want to kill the battery.
Nokia chargers aren't really cheap but Qi is Qi so it should work

No, it doesn't really work. Positioning the phone is very difficult since there isn't a magnetic locator in the base. My N4 kept slipping off. Was a total cluster. I sold it and got the official charger and haven't looked back.

S4 Wireless Charging and Car Charger

Hey,
Want to add wireless charging to my S4. But I also want to get a wireless charging dock for my car. I have read a little but I am kinda clueless on the tech.
I currently have a UAG Scout case on my S4. Any one know of a combo that would work with this case?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure to order a thin coil, phone tends to get hot and slow on charge rate. it does work though with a bulky lifeproof case and with my Nexus 7. Spent about 20 on ebay, almost all are made in China.
Will any wireless charger work?
Will probably need to be 2 amp capable.
Any specific charging card you recommend?
Hey got a wireless charger and wireless charging card.
But when I put the phone on the charger it says it's charging wireless and the charge icon on the battery shows up also. Then the charging icon disappears. Is it suppose to do this? How do I tell if it's still charging?
Thanks

SGP Wireless Charger

Today I received the SGP Wireless Charger. It has 3 Coils with Free Positioning Technology.
It looks alot like the Tylt Vu charger. Probably must be an OEM version.
It comes with the wireless charging stand and a USB 2.0 cable. We need to use a 2A output voltage adapter with this wireless charger. It is a requirement.
The charging seams to be pretty quick. I always prefer to get a standing wireless charger because I can check out my e-mails or notices while I am working at the office. No need to pick up the phone.
Here are some pictures of the box and the wireless charger.
Using this with my Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. So far I am not having the Wireless Charging Paused beep with this wireless charger.
Here are more pictures.
Does it charge your phone with case?
Pretty well and quick. No issues yet.
Hm. I did not know that Spigen made wireless chargers. I have a CHOE charger, and it works very well for me. How much was the Spigen one?

I am in Hong Kong and I got it for HK $399 (US $ 51.50)
Does it make the charging sound repeatedly when it reaches 100%, as some people with Tylt vu chargers are complaining about?

[Q] Qi Charging Pad that has auto shuts off

Hello xda,
I am looking for a charging pad that auto shuts off when my Note 4 is full. It is hard to find those kinds of wireless chargers. I am using a Qi-Infinity charging receiver as it is the only one I found that retains NFC functionality. But first, a story.
I went through 2 charging receivers because both does not retain NFC functionality. I ended up with the Qi-Infinity as my third and final charging receiver.
I have a RAVPower Charging Pad (RP-WCN7) which seems to continually charge my Note 4 even when full.
So, for the interesting part.
I bought another receiver from amazon that says it will stop charging when the phone is fully charged.
Sure enough, it didn't do that for my Note 4. But interestingly, it stopped charging when I tested it out with a Nexus 4.
Am I missing something with wireless charging technology? Is there a protocol that the qi standard uses to send out charge status? If someone could suggest a wireless charger that shuts off automatically, that would be great!
Thanks

Hi, most wireless charges have built in energy saver that automatically go to idle mode once your phone charges up to 100%. Maybe you've got some problem with your charger. You may go to the CHOETECH wireless chargers. I'm using their Stadium Qi Wireless Charger (3 coils) that I had months ago, but I just saw a new wireless charger (3 coils, lighting sensor) that worth a better shot for $20. Hope it helps.

+1 for the CHOETECH Stadium. I have two of them, and a FoneSalesMan SlimPWRCard in my Note 4. Phone stops charging when it's at 100% - and no sounds so it's good for using at night. Thanks for the link to the new charger, looks good, but the review says 1 coil?

Hi, thank you! You are correct, it's a single coil charger.
I found they're talking about a Fast Charger one. But I'm not sure whether a Fast wireless charger works with our Galaxy Note 4.

Cheap QI receivers experience?

Hi, I would like to ask you, what is your experience with that cheap S4 Qi receiver pads (for example from ebay...). Is it charging fast? How much is cover bulged? Is it dangerous for the battery?
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
It does make the back cover bulge a bit but it's not bad.
The phone gets warm when charging wirelessly but it's not too bad at all.
Sometimes, the charging pad will detect the receiver but the phone doesn't charge. If I remove the phone from the charging pad for a few minutes and put it back, it will start to charge.
Charging wirelessly is not as fast as using a wired charger and I would say it takes about 30 to 50 percent longer.

Thank you for response. Is NFC working with that Qi pad?
I have never used nfc on my phone but I know you can get pads that do support nfc as an option.
Hi there
I have a qi receiver on the S4. My one has input: "self-adaptation" (whatever that means) and an output of 600mah. It charges at a decent speed. I use the LG G3 wireless charger and a few other wireless charging pads and they seem to charge at a decent speed. A full charge takes about 3 hours.
The cover does bulge a tiny bit, but it is barely noticeable trust me- definitely worth it.
The phone only gets a little warmer- again nothing to worry about for sure.
I am certain that it doesn't do any damage to the phone and battery. I have using wireless charging overnight everyday for the past few years on the S4 and nothing has gone wrong. I rarely use cable charging anymore
I recommend getting a qi receiver for the S4- it is worth it.
Has anyone found a Qi charging receiver so thin that it doesn't bulge at all?

Is it today something better what can more than 600 mA ?
Can you recommend something good ?
I can tell you the one from Aukey, although it uses a flat printed circuit coil, bulges a lot. Enough I didn't want to use it. It was advertised as being "ultra slim 0.2mm", but when I measured it with calipers, it's more like 0.9mm. The ferrite pad on it is most of the thickness.
No Bulge

The Fone Salesman S4 SlimPWRcard does not bulge at all.
