i just put in the wireless charging mat in my car and its great. very useful. the way im using it is perfect for me in case any of you want to do the same.
what i bought was the LG charging mat (the cheap one) and killed the speaker in it so it doesnt beep constantly. i always drop my phone on top of the center console when i drive and (i know i shouldnt but) use it constantly to switch through songs while its connected to my car with bluetooth. and do other phone stuff like text once in a while (may i burn in hell, i know i know). the qi charging mat fit perfectly on the center console.
unfortunately, that charging mat came with a wall charger and not a usb charger. so i bought a power converter that went from a car charging port to a wall outlet.
it all fit perfectly and seeminglessly. i guess it depends on the car because not all cars have their cigarette lighters arranged the way i do.
here are some pictures of the outcome.
That looks great haha, does the charging mat "grip" the phone with a rubberized surface (or something of that sort) or do you have to worry about it sliding around?

That looks really good. I wish my car had its cigarette lighter in the center console instead of on the dash, if I do the same thing I will have wires running all over the place.
I would add one of those sticky pads on top of the charging pad to prevent the phone from flying off the charger in a short stop or sharp turn at 50 mph lol.
I have seen a few pick up trucks that have center consoles with a recessed cavity in it's armrest (late mode Chevys) that have potential for pad installs like yours.
Actually I have the ringke slim case on my phone so it doesn't slide around as much. But if the phone was naked, yeah it would fly off. The pad surface is pretty grippy though. Works perfect. It's even better because I put an NFC tag on it so every time I drop my phone on it, Bluetooth turns on, WiFi turns off. Lol
I can't see the images?

Does the N4 continually read the NFC tag when its placed onto it, draining the battery? or does the NFC only read once and shut off?
I always wondered this
Nice

Mentioned it in the op. I bought a converter/amp to convert the power from the car charger to a wall charger equivalent. The plug of the charging mat goes into that converter, then the converter goes into the car.
And the NFC just reads once every time you put it there. So no I don't think it's continuous. But yeah it works great Lol.

It wasn't quite clear to me as you are actually using an inverter with the stock wall wart, and right?
I have to think that using a cheap inverter (square wave) to power an ac-dc power supply is extremely inefficient. You may not want to keep this plugged in 24/7 as inverters can draw a fair amount of current just idling.
I sourced one of these - http://www.bixnet.com/12vdcto19vdc.html - that would be far more efficient, and and draw virtually nothing at idle. Seems 19vdc is more common than I thought as it is a common input for laptops.

Idk much about electrical engineering. I just went to Fry's and asked which one would do what I'm trying to achieve. When the car is not running, the cigarette lighters don't get any power. If that's what you meant by leaving it plugged in. Yeah I agree though, you can't really get efficient wall socket quality power. But the thing I bought gives just enough to power the lg charger which is all I need. I'm leaving it plugged in cuz it's practically turned off when the car is not running. But thanks for the heads up. I was more concerned about it overheating but my car is smart lol. Inside the center compartment there is an ac vent lmao. So while driving, air will just flow there.
And that link you gave. That thing looks like it would be perfect for me Lol. I might buy that one if the one I got gives me problems

The review uses a very slim case to test, do you have any other cases in hand that are slightly thicker that can be tested?
Nice review.
Thickest case I have is the Diztronic TPU and then the Cruzerlite XDA case. Both work and stick without issues. No sliding at all.
It doesn't charge the phone when it's off? That's stupid.
Works with this case, which is a sort of dual layer otterbox type knock off - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Layer-3-IN-1-Armor-Case-Cover-With-Stand-Black-For-LG-NEXUS-4-E960-/251226889746?
If it works with this case, it works with close to anything.
wonder how that would work if you have it mounted in your car and used as a car mount???? is the magnet pretty strong enough for bumps and what not on a daily drive??

Last night I went to charge my nexus 4 before I went to bed, when I woke up the phone was pretty hot and it only charged to about 77% or so. I am running cm10.1 nightlies and I do use the dream scene or whatever its called. Haven't had an issue until last night. Just thought I'd point it out.
i charge the phone over night with it off. It charges up to 98% (safety) although there is no indication that it is charging.
If you want a way to see that its charging, like the animation when its plugged in and off, then:
-Shut the phone off
-plug the phone into the regular usb charger
-when you see the animation unplug it and put it on the orb.

When my phone is charging I have the LED light on the front turn on(with the phone on) so i don't need to turn the screen on even to see if it's charging. That might be a specific feature of AOKP though. Also with the Orb when the battery is full, it's only a trickle charge so you should be fine to leave it there all night.
With the phone off all you need to do is tap the power button while it's on the charger and it will charge and show the charging screen instead of booting up.

I just got mine today. Sems to work fine. Fits under the original cover find. Although I feel it slightly (ever so slightly) buldges outward since when I put the phone back flat on a counter it can rock slightly, so that confirms its buldging outward. The charging thing is fine, although it didn't come with an adapter its just a USB cord that goes to a DC power (round) jack into the charging mat. So the USB part just goes into your existing charging adapter.

Got mine today. Works well, simple install but I do notice that NFC no long works. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Mine didn't work when I just tested it, had some Samsung Tectiles sitting around.
Then took off the Qi receiver and it worked. Put the Qi receiver back on but made sure it was pushed as far left as possible while still on the contacts. Put the cover back on, and tested it again and it worked!
So I think the Qi receiver if not positioned properly is affecting the NFC antenna which is on the battery. Its basically covering a good portion of the battery.

I tried it, didn't work. I even slid the tectile under the receiver to see if it was covering the NFC antenna. Still nothing.
Have you tried just to remove the Qi receiver and put the cover back on and test it to make sure there isn't something else? If it works without the Qi receiver then it has go be the Qi receiver is blocking the NFC antenna too much.

I can get it to work with no Qi receiver, but no matter how I try to adjust the NFC tag or Qi receiver I'm getting nothing.
I'll keep playing with it to see if I can get it working. Thanks for the info. I'll post back if results change.
Yea the design of this Qi receiver wasn't done with NFC in mind since it blocks a good portion of the battery.
My NFC tag works with this wireless charger receiver installed. Reads tag just above the galaxy s4 logo
Has anyone gotten tasker to recognize the wireless charging?
Also, I've tried multiple different ways with NFC and tectiles. Nothing works. It's as if the Qi receiver is disrupting the NFC capabilities.

Anyone had any issues with this charger? By that I mean for the past few days since Ive got it I feel there is some flaw/issue with this.
It charged wirelessly just fine upto about 96-97%, no issues, then around that time (normally for me like 3-4am) it starts beeping. What I notice is that the charging mat goes has the green charging light go out, then come back on, causing the phone to beep saying "Charging Wirelessly" and it keeps doing this constantly every 30-60secs. It gets so annoying that I have to take it off the mat as I cant sleep with it constantly beeping. I tried to readjust the Qi receiver to make sure it wasn't the problem, still same thing. Tried using a different usb charger (instead of S4 supplied one, an iphone one since its a 1000mah one and not 2000mah one like the S4) and it still did the same thing.
Ive never had the charging mat show the FULL light.
Maybe I got a defective one. Not sure if the mat is defective or the receiver. Ive got a video of this as well (maybe send this to vivealive).

Mine only does that when the phone isn't placed properly on the charging pad.
I also have never seen the full light.

Count me in in not seeing the Full Charge indicator. I have emailed monsterwatts but haven't had any response. I've also had the same issue with the charger beeping regularly after it hits 100%. Not sure but might be returning this --if they ever respond.
Heres my video of what happens constantly starting at the 96% mark. After 5mins at 4am I just pull the damn thing off the charging mat. Sorry had to blur the screen, Im anal about that.

Mine has charged to 100% every time. I've been using it on the Google N4 charger though and not the charger it ships with.
Well woke up this morning to a dead phone. I woke up around 3am wondering why my phone hasn't beeped, so I turned the screen on, wouldn't turn on, Im like wtf? So I turned the phone on, and put it back on the mat. Fell asleep again, woke up at 8am and same crap. Both times the green charging light been on.
So then just hard plugged the phone in and it was charging, for some reason this time it refused the charge. This mat/receiver isn't looking too good for me now.

I'm getting the exact same thing. Its possible the charge mat is designed to trickle charge at 96% onwards. The phone may interpret this as being removed and then replaced on the charge mat.

So, I realize there are many cradle/docks out there that offer wireless charging. What I'm looking for is one that can be angled, and that will charge my device as quickly in horizontal mode (so I can use it as an alarm clock on my nightstand) as it does in vertical mode. Any recommendations?

I use the TYLT wireless charging stand. It doesn't quick charge this phone, but no wireless charger does afaik. It works both horizontally and vertically though, and it will definitely charge it over the course of a night.

I'm getting this one tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works. It doesn't work. I tried different chargers.
I got this flat one for Christmas and it works really well too. The V10 doesn't support wireless fast charging but it's still very quick.
I use an app called Battery Graph Widget Pro to track my battery charging performance and usage on my home screen. I'll try and get the mA charging values from Ampere later for the stand.
The wireless qi back I'm using is this.
I received this one from Amazon on Sunday. The only negative I noticed when evaluating which to buy was that this one had an audible beep whenever it connected to device, however I also noticed in the reviews section a step-by-step guide on how to disable the beep. I decided to take a chance since the instructions seemed very straight forward. It arrived and I went ahead and did the procedure to stop the beep, and I am happy so far. I wanted one that would look good whether I had the phone upright or horizontal. Only negative so far is that the bottom doesn't seem to have rubber feet so it can slide around if you bump it. Also, the placement of the USB cable port could be better. Here's the link:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IR0CQ8E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I have tried a number of wireless docks, and the Tylt is hands-down the best of the best. Yes, it is more expensive, but there are zero issues with it and the OEM Qi back. No noise, no heat, 800-900 mA consistent charging at any position...fantastic dock. Learn from my mistakes and save your money until you can afford one. You will not be disappointed.
lovely, thanks

I've used the Samsung hockey pucks, the fast wireless one is really good. I dismantled one and built it into a plank to put in the dash of my car. For stands, the Samsung one sucks. It's concaved, so what 3 coils are in there won't reach the back of the V10. I have been using the stand from Verizon, it's got a much better angle than the Tylt. Tylt is 45 degrees, so it's not easy to see laying down, and the Verizon is at about 60 degrees. Bummer about the Verizon is I've killed 2 in a month, so I'm not giving it a ringing endorsement. I have seen the Choetech T516 on eBay and Amazon for less than $30, and it may be what I get next. 60 degree stand, aluminum frame.

I have been using the Choetech for a while now and can say that up until a few days ago, I LOVED it! The other night I woke up in the middle of the night to see that even though I had been asleep for about 5 hours, my phone was only about 35% charged. Ever since then, it has been charging at a fraction of the previous speed and I have no idea why. I no longer have my V10 in favor of the S7 Edge, and love the angle the Choetch offers as you alluded to, so I'm not sure where I go next. I thought I'd try the Samsung fast charge angled puck, but if as you say it is concave, that won't be a good option either. Thanks for your reply! :good:

I think if you're using the Samsung phones, the Samsung upright would probably work. The issue with the LG v10 is the sweet spot for the charger is right about the middle of where the concave is at its lowest on the charger. The fast charge puck I use next to the PC is great, works extremely well, and I Frankensteined one into a box about the size of my phone for the dash, and works well. What I noticed on the Samsung stand is the sweet spot for the LG is just a tad south of center, real noticeable when you have it in portrait mode, you have to move it to the right just a bit. When I built the one for the car, I had to do the same thing, move the coils to the left so it centered better. Glad to hear about the Choetech, I was just about to order one on eBay, but Verizon let me exchange the flipping out Qi charger I got from them for a Tylt, so see how it goes.

FYI, I am no longer having this issue. I simply unplugged the Choetech and plugged it back in, and all is back to normal. Just in case I talked anyone out of trying it, I can say that it works perfectly. The only reason I am looking for a new one is that I want one that offers Quick Charge.
Alright, so the Samsung replacement back cover for Qi charging adds enough thickness that normal cases won't fit anymore, this is known.
It is also known that you can take the offical Samsung Qi back cover, remove Samsung's Qi hardware, modify a stock back cover (glue, tape, and a dremel?) to add the module. This way it fits into the standard phone cases, while still allowing NFC to work properly, and wireless charging.
Does anywhere sell these pre-modified? Searching just leads me to cheap 3rd party Qi modules and reviews of the Samsung Qi covers..

Yes, something like that.. Except using Samsung's Qi module.
Alright, after giving up on that idea...
Looking at adding one of the tape on modules that support NFC.. I don't use it often, but I do use it..
Can anybody recommend the Qi-Infinity modules over the PWRcard brand?
The updated Qi-Infinity module and the SLIMPWRcard are both supposed to have NFC support..
However, searching with Google on my mobile, I can't find a person that has done a comparison/review of them.
Does anybody have a recommendation?

Cool thanks
I rarely post but was browsing the forum and wanted to chime in. I Just picked up a refurbished note 4 on eBay. I'm coming from a LG G3.
I wanted wireless charging on this phone but didn't want the thicker Samsung back.
I order a qi receiver on eBay since the prices were a bit cheaper than amz. I purchased the type that sticks to your battery after aligning the pins correctly. The issue is that I didn't want to tape it to my battery though because I like to swap the batteries out and charged them outside the phone.
When I added qi to the lg g3, the receiver taped to the back of the phone cover so I was surprised to see this opposite. I figured why not do the same with this phone. I used household double sided tape to attach the note 4 qi receiver to the back of the phone cover. It took a few tries to make sure the pins lined up but works with no issues once correct . My qi receiver was only 8 bucks.
I hope this helps anybody.

Does that one also have the nfc hardware? Or does the battery still supple the nfc circuit.

Quick question.. The more research I do, the harder this becomes.. lol
Does your module trickle-charge when the battery gets to 100%, does it turn off? Or does it keep the phone supplied with power, but stops charging.
Turns off at 100% then starts charging again when the phone gets to 99% for example? Or does it just stay at 100%?
Does this depend on the Qi pad used? Or only the phone module? Both?

I set mine on the pad at night and it shows 100% in the morning so it must trickle charge to keep it at 100%. It has a light on the choetech 3 coil pad I use that lights up when it detects the device is on the coil and drawing power.
I imagine this is based on both but not sure. I'm thinking the pad sits in a low power state and ramps up when it detects the device (indicates it knows it's there by the led on the pad). On the phone side, the phone controls when it draws current from the coil in the phone just the same as when it's plugged in. The inductive coil part is pretty simple and barebones.

I cannot confirm whether NFC works as I do not use it and I don't have any NFC devices.
I have experienced two issues with wireless charging since hooking it up. While my verdict is still iffy, i will continue to to test it out, as i love the concept.
The first night, the phone completely froze and i had to pull the battery. I had similar issues with my nexus 4 so i used an app called Safe Charge to help resolve my issue. I didn't bother testing a second night as i needed the alarm clock to work. I trusted that safe charge would fix the issue because i had similar issues on a nexus 4. And as expected, I had no issues since,. I'm wondering if i should continue this though as last night it didn't charge at all. I'm hoping i just i didn't put the cover back on right. i'll post back in a few days with updates.
Update: I think my issue was my case. I have started charging my phone without my it and my issue was resolved.
I also removed safe charge.
I'm guessing the fast charging wireless pad would work...?
