I just picked up a Nexus 5 wireless charger, intending to construct the wireless car mount discussed in the Accessories section (I can't post there yet, so I'm posting here). However I can't get the charger to work on my Maxx.
I was under the impression that the Nexus 5 wireless charger was Qi-compatible, but I don't see the logo anywhere on it. Has anyone had any luck with it, or am I just misinformed about its compatibility?
Thanks in advance!

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. Does anyone know of a wireless Inductive Charger for the Nexus S. I have seen the Nexus 4 is compatible with QI but I see nothing about NS
Hi man,
No, the nexus S doesn't support QI charging.
cheers.
I just bought the Nexus Wireless charger (the new one with the magnets) with the intention of using it in my car. Unfortunately it does work with my cigarette lighter adapter (see below).
http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-USB-4-8A-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_1
I purchased that adapter because I read in another thread that the nexus wireless charger won't work at all unless it has a power source of at least 2A. This has 2.4A to both usb ports and works fine with my samsung and my nokia wireless chargers.
Has anyone gotten the Nexus wireless charger to work in their car, and if so, what cigarette lighter adapter did you use?
Anyone?..or am I the only person to try this?

One of the reviews says that the android port is only 1.5 amps.

The specs listed on the product description say 2.4 on the Ipad port and 2.4 on the android port. I believe that review was posted before they updated their description. So either they lied or corrected an error on their description.
The fact that the charger does not work has me a bit suspicious though. You never know what companies are trustworthy anymore.

I purchased the same Anker charger and also cannot get it to charge my Nexus 5 wireless charger.
If it is truly 1.5 amp then that's cause to get it returned to Amazon

I just made it work! I tried the Anker adapter too (due to a Post on another Forum) and it didn't work, so i had to return it.
For me it works fine with the following charger that i bought on Amazon Germany. It's the same adapter that dkechitkid (Thank you) suggested.
RAVPower® RP-CC01 Dual Schnellader Kfz-Ladegerät Adapter (12V/24V, 3100mA, 2 x USB) für Apple iPad 1/2/3/4 iPad mini und iPhone 4S 5 5C 5S schwarz
Unfortunatelly I'm not allowed to paste the link. What i can also say is that it works fine although i use both ports simultaneously to power the Nexus wireless charger and power the Homespot audio adapter.
Does anyone have exprerience with the Belkin Aircast bluetooth and the nexus wireless charger? The power adapter is supposed to be 2.1 mah according to the Belkin site.
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

This cradle/charger for the G3 looks great:

Any idea if it will work well with the Nexus 4?
If its Qi Wireless charger, Do not see why not.
Yeah, in theory it looks fine, but with all the issues related to Qi-charging, I'd love to know if someone has actually tried it before I buy...for example, a similar cradle made by Nokia constantly disconnects the Nexus 4 according to one review.
So i offer you to ask in LG G3 forum, I think you have better chance to get answer there.
There is already a thread on it in the G3 forum, but no Nexus 4 experiences posted so far...
Which one is Better Nexus 5 Official Wireless Charger or Nexus 4 Wireless charging orb.
Ended up answering this question myself: bought this charger yesterday and so far the one issue with it is that at some point during last night it stopped charging...I might have solved this by replacing the adapter that I had (the Nexus 4 1.2A one) with one from my Nook HD+, which provides 2.1 - on the charger it stated that I should use the LG G3 1.8 A charger, so maybe the issue was because of this. Will find out in the morning, I guess...if this issue could be resolved, it would be a wonderful solution - costs less than 30 EUR, works as a dock, no slippage issues...
Another night, same issues...looks like it won't charge all the way if left by itself. Oh well...
Anyone planning on or tried wireless charging yet? I see some decent reviews for the model below on Amazon. Just curious if it will charge quicker than my current phone (Nexus 6)?

The Pixel does not support wireless charging. You would need to install one of those stick on QI compliant receivers that plug into the USB C port.

Yes I realize that, looking for opinions from anyone who has used these. I fixed the link too, oops.

I don't have first hand experience, but I see a few problems.
First, the USB C factory charger charges the phone to 70% in 15 minutes. It isn't like previous devices where you would throw it on the QI charger every spare moment because the battery took forever to charge. Second, the voltage output is not device specific and would take longer to charge the phone than using a standard USB C cable/charger.
I guess what I am saying is that yeah, any of the QI compliant stickers would work, but I ask, are they useful? I lived by QI on my Nexus 6, but seeing what type of battery life I get now, coupled with the ridiculously quick charge times, I no longer see the merit.
I don't mean to thread crap, but it took me a while to get over QI when weighing my options to upgrade. I honestly no longer miss wireless charging. I miss my dual facing stereo speaker and my almost 0 bezel from my Nexus 6, but not QI.
I hope this somewhat helps.

Definitely helps, and yes I too am struggling with just getting over wireless charging. It's just hard to cast aside all the wireless accessories (for 2 phones, my wife has one as well).
I think once there is an external DAC that has inline charging I'll happily dump the wireless charging idea haha!
