I thought that I would report that I obtained 2 of the LG wireless charging pads. They work great and of course are compatible with many devices. I recommend it highly. I'm hoping to find something that will work well in my car.
I assume you have the verizon version? And all qi wireless chargers should be compatible.
Do all 8X's have wireless charging or is it only available on the Verizon version?

Yeah, but I have read reports that the Nokia pad and the 8x have had issues for people despite both being qi.

You are correct in that it is exclusive, However if you are able to afford an 8x out of pocket (600 ish bucks) VZW 8xs are unlocked to T-Mobile and AT&T HSDPA and GSM Networks! Just thought id share!

And they can take a SIM card? I assume so since you say GSM...
They can take a sim. Just remember that you will not get LTE to work if you try it on AT&T.
Which part?

I'm using the LG charging pad with my Verizon 8x as well. Works well, with one exception.
When you start the phone charging, it'll make a notification sound. After several hours of charging, the phone will periodically act like it's "starting to charge again" by making the notification sound again. I suspect that once fully charged, it stops charging, then after some nominal amount of discharge, it starts up again. Sort of annoying when that point happens to be 3-4am, and my charging plate is on my nightstand..
Have you run into this? If so, is the only solution to turn off the "Play a sound for all other notifications" option under settings/ringtones+sounds? Haven't tried that yet, but if my theory is correct as to what's happening - might be the only resolution.
I have heard people say this but have not been woken up by it. I read online that for the charge pads notification you can unattach the speaker. I'm not sure on the phone other than turning the volume down.

I have the same problem, but nothing I do stops the phone making the sound of the charge starting except turning off the sound. It seems to happen every 15 minutes or so after it is fully charged. I assume the unit discharges enough to reconnect to the charger and start the charging process again. Have you had any luck with the problem?
Nokia DT-901 Fatboy Pillow wirless charger?
I just ordered the Fat Boy Pillow wireless charger. Anyone had any problems with the Verizon 8X?

is there any way I can have mounted wireless charging to my 8X when I don't have one now? Or I have to buy phone from different store that already works like this?

Just to be clear: You have a non-Verizon Htc 8x and you were able to add wireless charging to the phone just by replacing your original back cover with the spare part 74H02317/71H04310-08M? (would be really great!!!)

My phone has been hating chargers lately. I would say that my charging port is definitely going bad, except that there are a couple of chargers that do work pretty well with my phone. I bought a new Verizon universal car charger, and the first one worked well for about a month before my phone started connecting and disconnecting repeatedly. I took the charger to Verizon and the tech support lady took my phone and charger away for a few mins. She said that my car charger had a short in it. OK. So now I have a new one, and it is working well. But as for every other charger that I use. They all seem to have a very difficult time connecting or staying connected. If I move the cord around, the phone will begin to charge, although at a VERY slow pace. All of my high capacity chargers are doing this as well. Hours to charge the phone fully. Are all of my chargers simply going to crap, or is my charging port taking a slow dive? Ideas?
If I were you, I would get a wireless charger ASAP, to save wear and tear on your charge port. There are a few if you search. Verizon has one also.

Have you checked to see if your phone is charging by USB or ac? I ask because a lot of times my phone says USB even though it is an ac source.

Now that's not a bad idea. I forgot that these things have a wireless charging option. It's a little expensive if I remember right. I do have a $100 gift card from Christmas for Best Buy (hate that place!).

It does show charging by AC. I'll check on all of my chargers to be sure. But to clarify, on most chargers, my phone disconnects and reconnects to the charger over and over. It's as if either every charging cable I have is bad, or my charging port is loose or not getting a good connection. I have to make sure my phone sits even with the charging cable, or it won't charge at all. Vehicle chargers are the worst because of the constant movement in a vehicle.

Yeah...it is still under the Verizon warranty. I have taken it up there, but I didn't want to be an ass, insisting that it's the phone, when maybe the phone is just picky about chargers. They did try to swap out my battery, as a first step. I'm probably gonna go up and insist on a replacement. I just don't see it being every other charger. I have owned several other smartphones that were power intensive, such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Droid X. They didn't have this problem.

Have you gone to Verizon about it? Just curious to know what they said to you, if so.
Ordered 19/2 Arrived 26/2 - 7 days from China / Singapore.
Comes with supplied charger.
Only had it one day.
Takes about twice as long to charge as a normal 2amp pregnant plug.
Looks good
After 2 weeks use
The charger works quite reliably with a TPC case on. The only problem is efficiency.It still takes twice the time to charge, and sometimes excessively long. Last night the phone was at 26% charge, put on mat, went to bed, after 10 hours was only at 76%. A cable charges it from flat in about 2 hours.

Fast Tech
Waiting for mine now, ordered on March 2nd...
AW: Fasttech QI charger A021527514 $35
Bought mine from Fast Tech too:
Charging speed is satisfactory but the battery temperature worries me a little...
The back of the device says:
Input: 5V 2A
Output: 5V 1A
And even apart from that it's pretty obvious, that it takes more time to charge wirelessly.
I'll try keeping the temperature lower by adding some sort of distance piece between charger and phone, maybe even charger and table - the little 'feet' on the charger's back are tiny...
Mine also gets much warmer on it than it does on the orb charger from Google/LG. Seems to charge fine though, I just use this one to top the phone off at work because its not secure or reliable enough to trust charging overnight.
How much did you pay for the original orb charger?
Google Play Hardware isn't available in my country

Like $70US shipped. Worth every penny to me. It secures the device (I have had no slipping with the 3 Orbs in my house) and charges reliably. To place the phone on it where it wouldn't charge would require it to be placed at a very unstable position that is unnatural.
IT sucks they aren't available but it probably has something to do with regulations in your country on these types of devices. Google probably needs some sort of certification first. Id offer to bootleg one to you but by the time its all said and done it would probably be $100US before it got to you.
I don't think it's because of regulations - no Google hardware has ever been available in Austria. It's just a small european country.
I could wait until it's available in Germany - they got all devices so far.
In the meantime I'll keep testing this Fast Tech charger.
The LEDs are enjoyably dim and it works pretty good.
But sometimes when the phone is at 100% already and it receives a message the charger beeps as if the phone has just been placed on it.
I'll keep investigating
Here's two pictures, display at maximum brightness.
ive got one but i cant connect and use it by any other input eg xbox 360 usb or a standard usb socket only uses adapter included ,I've sent 5 email saying this but they don't understand they keep saying check the charger supplied but that's not the problem,it will not work with any other usb powered input
Sent from my KFOT using xda app-developers app
I also tried using it with another adaptor (5V 1A) - whenever I placed the phone on the charger the right LED that flashes blue when charging turned red and the phone emitted a notification sound.
Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2's adaptor (5V 2A) works - but only if the phone is placed directly onto the charger - using the adaptor that was shipped with the carger it also works if there's a gap of ~2mm.
Here's another picture of the charger, this time in a well-lit office.
good news and bad news ,good news is they have admitted its doest work on my usb charger or any other one apart ftom a pc or original charger and bad news is there still advertising it as powered from any usb port anywhere

Well, after a few weeks my resumeé is: It works - but only kind of...
- It emits lots of heat. It seems to stop charging at 40°C (red fault LED visible). Definitely not the best way to treat your battery.
- It's unreliable. Sometimes it doesn't start charging, sometimes it stops prematurely.
- It beeps.
So if you just want to use it in your office to keep your phone charged with short and sporadic usage periodes in between it should work, if you and your colleagues can stand the beeping each time you place your phone on the charger.
If you plan to use it as overnight charger or when the battery is rather dry, prepare to face disappointment.
But I guess that's all you can expect from a charger half the price of the original one.

I tried laying a folded piece of paper in between my phone (caseless)and the charger and it worked as intended. I believe the magnetic field due to the phone being too close is too strong to maintain the intended current. Or vice versa. Using my case results in the opposite result. Not 100% sure, it's been 15 years since my electrical theory courses.
It works great for my wife and i and we have them both in different casses....
Mine wouldn't charge for more than a few minutes regardless of battery level. I tried it with a different cord/plug and it works fine. So my cord or plug is bad, but the charger is fine.
IT seems like it is the only problem with the wireless charging. I tried different 2AMP adapters and USB cords. I tried making sure the USB cord wasn't coiled and straight and vice versa. Tried the paper method, seemed ok but silly. I have a case coming soon. I put the Note 5 on 2 different QI chargers. Goes all the way up to 100. Its the charger/note 5 relationship. Not sure what it is. There are a couple other forums on them.
Experiment time....

This is way more picky on placement than my note 3 with the oem wireless back added.
Anyone else notice a relationship between wireless charging and notifications? It seems over night if I don't get any notifications, it charges no problem. However every time I wake up+ with a notification, the wireless charger is blinking, and my charge isn't full.

I actually have been having problems, despite my optimistic previous post. I can't seem to get a bead on why, though. Problem seems worse with some of my electrical outlets than others. Turning on daydream seems to ensure a full charge, but then it doesn't turn off at 100% and gets warm. So, I dunno.
I took my Samsung circle piece of crap back doesn't seem to charge at a snails pace. Sprint rep ask "are you sure.you had it on there right?" Yea no no im not a damn idiot. Im ordering a qi stand hope it will at least charge overnight.
Right now only seeing good results on the Samsung wireless charging pad I have a duracell and it sounds to connect but no charge

I was at 2% when I placed the phone on the charger(free Samsung charger best buy gave) and it said it would be less then 2 hours for full charge
Having same issue phone starts to charge and when i get a text or email it quits charging have to completely remove from pad and put back on to start charging. Have not tried daydream option.. i unplugged it last night and used cord to charge.
I exchanged my charger and the new one has none of the issues I have been experiencing. Charges fully every time. No fiddling necessary. I should have done or sooner.
I will try different outlet but if it keeps up going to try to exchange it.
Yeah I tried different outlets, different cords. Eventually I talked to a Samsung rep in Best Buy who saps that Thai cam be fiddly, but what I was experiencing was not normal, Amma I should return it. So I did, and have had no problems since.
I ran some tests with Note5 and Nexus 7 and here is the result.
Samsung Wireless Charger: Note5 NG – Quits charging after few minutes, Nexus7 OK
Cheap wireless charger from Amazon: Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Anker wireless charger : Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Used 2 different brand new Samsung Wireless chargers with same results.
If I turn on daydream, Samsung charger works fine. But I don't want display on at night while I'm charging. I'm using the samsung charger for Nexus 7 and one of my other wireless chargers for Note5.
Update.
Used Samsung Adaptive fast charger wall plug with Samsung wireless charger and Note5 is charging normally without disconnecting. Weird..

Hey everyone. I know I'm late but I just recently got my new Nexus 6P and have been looking for accessories. I know previous Nexus devices have had wireless charging and wondered if this was possible for the 6P. I came across this on Amazon and wondered if anyone else has tried it or something similar.
Type-C Wireless Receiver, DISDIM Type C Qi Wireless Charger Receiver for LG G5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nokia N1,Huawei P9 and More (Black)
I've used something similar, and it works fine, but it's annoying not having the usb port available.
I was thinking of leaving a little slack on the cord which could hopefully allow the USB type c connector to hang a little if I wanted to plug in. Anyway, how was your usage and charging like?
I have one and it's great. Never had an issue with it. It can be annoying to not have access to the port but pros and cons.

Works fine but like all wireless charging, you have to be aware that it's slow. So slow that if you're navigating or streaming, it won't be able to keep up (which is why Google didn't include it on this phone, IMHO). It's annoying to have to unplug it every time I need a fast charge, so I hope someone builds that pass-through solution.

Google didn't include because they haven't figured out how to get wireless charging to work with aluminum phones yet. It's in the works
