I believe the OEM charging block for this phone is supposed to be around $80 when it comes out. I was looking on Amazon and I saw they are selling the original Touchstone for the Palm smartphones for dirt cheap [$6.93]. The design is very similar to the OEM one and I'm not sure if it using the Qi standard (what the Nexus 4 uses), but there is a YouTube video of a guy charging his Lumia 920 (which uses Qi) and it works. I am still waiting to get my Nexus 4, so it will be sometime before I can try it out. If there is anyone who has a Nexus a4 and is willing to try this, I think it will help the community greatly.

My apologies for the oversight.
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:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160923480453
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.

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.

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.

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.

For $42 I couldn't pass up the Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Stand...all the other stands I looked at were about 10-15 cheaper, but in order to use fast wireless charging, a separate QC 2.0 plug would have needed to be purchased separately, so the price difference isn't very much in the end. With Prime shipping it will be here Sunday...now just gotta wait for the actual phone lol
Im gonna get the backpack wireless charging one most likely.

^ What :') Am I missing something?
So most of the wireless chargers that are cheaper than Samsung's fast charger do NOT come with the special fast charging power brick that is required. This power brick comes with the Galaxy Note 7, but I think I'd rather have two anyway.
ALSO CONSIDER that Samsung's wireless charger seems to be the actual fastest at charging. Through my research, Samsung's fast charger seems to be the equivalent of wired charging at 2 amps. Other "fast" wireless chargers charge at a lower amperage. Samsung also has a built in fan, so there is some peace of mind there.
It looks like Samsung's own wireless charger is the best bet here.
I'm eyeing the pad (not the angled stand).
I bought the Samsung Stand Fast charger for $42 at Best Buy. They price matched Amazon. Feels solid. For some reason though, it does not charge my gen 2 Nexus 7 tablet. Don't know if it only works for Fast Charging devices.
Can someone enlighten me as to why the new Samsung fast charger (angled stand) is going for only $16 on ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/331912766116?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
I noticed those too. I didn't want to chance it it and got mine from best buy. With a sealed battery I cant run the risk of a knockoff overcharging and destroying the $800+ device.
