I e-mailed WPC and asked what Qi charger to use. I got this good answer
The current version of the Nexus 4 can be charged wirelessly with all Qi chargers, except the Nokia DT-900. We expect that this problem will be fixed soon. In the mean time we advise to use a different Qi charger. For example the ZENS charger:
http://www.amazon.de/Zens-ZESC01B-0...=sr_1_1?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1355703562&sr=1-1
Or Qi chargers made by LG and Energizer.
Thank you.

Lol, I think the xda community figured this out as a whole.

Hello...LG's pad, this is an LG phone, no?
Good
LG WCP-700
And the Energizer single and dual pads -Similar to the Maxell pad.
Also using a Maxell Air Voltage, great quality, charges fast too!
Re: [REF] Known Good Qi Chargers
The energizer single position inductive pad works great for me.

I had the ZENS charger and it was quiet good.
Just the noise/brumming was very annoying next to me on the table...so I sent it back :/

Second that, it does work but slower than using the original N4 cable/charger.
We should have a third category of "neutral" for chargers like this - not exactly a waste of money, but not the best use of it.
I recently bought the official s4 qi charger using the 50% off code. I forgot to purchase the required 2 AMP charger to power it (I didn't notice that wasn't included in the package). Since I don't have an S4 (I'm going to use the charger for my Nexus 7 FHD and my S3) I'm trying to find a 2AMP charging block/cord that I can trust.
I hate to start a new thread about this, but I searched all over Amazon and XDA and the best solution I could come up with is this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...PWYPY7NWWHH&coliid=I321ZTUWIDWWO3&me=&seller=
I'm confident this one would work, but it's cord is connected to the brick and it's black and not white. I would prefer to have a separate brick so I could use a white cord to match the white s4 qi charger on my desk.
There are MANY solutions out there but each one I've found has mixed reviews when it comes to Android products and some even mention catching on fire! I hate to go the non-OEM route... but signing up for another account on Samsung's site and paying shipping and tax again will bring my total close to $28 dollars. At that point I might as well return the charger and just eat the shipping cost to return it.
TL;DR: Does anyone use a non-OEM charger that was under $25 with their S4 qi charger and can verify it doesn't catch on fire???
Thanks!
Currently using Monoprice 4 port wall charger ($7.80) to handle the charging of several peripherals at once. Note that only one port is rated at 2.1A/iPad compatible, whereas the other three are regular 1A USB ports.
Same deal but with two 2.1A ports and two 1A ports: $15.25.
Just one 2A port: $5.56.
Monoprice FTW
Some are on backorder.

Hmm then i suggest get the original charger with cable, coz i have seen if i use any other cable s4 charges pretty low around 900ma if original cable then 2A definitely because its takes lot of time otherwise.

If you order from amazon make sure to change the seller to a reputable dealer. I got one from seller1on1. The cable was shorter but the current was the same as the oem one

I've had great results with the rocketfish charger. under $5 at amazon.
Don't forget that our S4's have the 11 pin micro usb connector. I used an older 5 pin one and wondered why my 2amp charger took forever to charge my phone, rather than the 1.5 hours it normally takes to fully charge.
The extra pins are only for MHL.
The stock charger has 4 visible pins.
Hello guys,
I have a nexus 4 device and I'm very pleased with it.
currently I have a charged credit card with ~20-21$ on it.
looks like a great opprotunity to buy a nice wireless charger for my nexus.
I've seen the 23 dollars charger:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300964279534
which looks great but am missing like a dollar or two to complete the transaction.
I have the official LG nexus 4 bumper case and my deepest concern is
that when ill place the phone on the charging pad there will be a slight gap
between the two and therefore the phone will not be charged.
Two questions:
1) can someone with the LG nexus 4 bumper case can confirm he is charging with a wireless charger,
if so, which one?
2) what is the best wirless charger I can buy for my nexus 4
in the sum of 20$?
Thanks alot you guys and have a pleasent day!

1. I have the bumper and the Ringke Fusion cases and they both work with both my wireless charges.
2. I bought a generic white QI charger on Amazon and a 2.1A transformer. The QI charger will work with the factory nexus transformer, but it reall needs 2.0A to fast charge.

The wireless charger needs 2.0 amps to properly charge the phone. The factory tansformer is 1.1 amps. So I bought that 2.1 amp transformer to power the wireless charger.

you mean the charger cord of the nexus is 1.1 amps?
if so, why using 2.1 amp transformer?
wont it harm the device or should there be some kind of a bottle neck?

Not the cord, the USB/AC Adapter is 1.1 amps. You can use with the wireless charger, but the charger should be used with a 2.0 amp USB/AC Adapter to work it's best.

Look for Blackberry chargers. I picked up a set of 2 on ebay for $5 w/free shipping. They have 6' cords and charge extremely fast. As fast as my N7 adapter I use at home. I keep one in my pack for school and one at work. (i know you need european but i'm sure they have those too, just note BB has quality accessories)

Not all are the same. Not even close. I've used 2A chargers with a faulty cable that brought it down to 500ma. You will know when you find a good one, it will charge 0-100 in 40 minutes.

Is there any way to quickly check the output amperage from a charger? Can you take accurate readings from the phone with an app or something?

by reading the very fine print on the charger. usually it will say output = xyz.
always want at least 1.0A
official nexus charger is 1.8 i think, samsung galaxy s4 is 2.0A
Official charger is 1.2 A.

Probably is not the best forum to ask, I recently got this wireless charger for my Nexus 4. It looks slick and price wise is very affordable. Should really work fine, but I am having this issue where it says it is charging but after a while, is not charging any at all. I tried it aligning with the induction coil in many positions but so far no luck.
However, my phone is indeed charged with a LG wireless charger. So it is not the phone.
Has anyone use this charger with the Nexus 4?
Possibly not supplying enough power. Compare out power specs of ur stock charger with the new one. Should be on the devices. Could be the plug itself
