NFC sticker.. sorry to burst your bubble
Damn that's a huge nfc sticker
Plus it's only got two prongs those are for the NFC the other ones are for charging. The way I have been told if there are all 4 prongs then you got NFC and wireless charging.
You can do wireless charging you just have to use the LG Quickview case and the Duracell powermat. It'll only cost about $109 from an Att store. Im pondering it simply because the usb cable is a ***** to plug in.

Just tilt the cable ever do slightly and it goes right in. Also you can just order the right wireless back from online and install it In your phone...multiple threads on that.

It wouldn't wirelessly charge our AT&T phones bc our version uses PMA charging. everyone else has Qi charging. Those backplates are not compatible with the PMA charger bases
So it's not just a matter of how the chip in the back cover provides power to the pins? There's different internals or software regarding charging on the att g3? How are people buying qi chips and installing them? Or am I wrong on that?
Shoot. So the NFC chip isn't in the battery? Meaning if I use a case that replaces the back cover I lose NFC? That's less than ideal.

I picked up a circle case from aliexpress that *says* it does NFC and qi charging with the d850. Unfortunately I can't post the link because of forum restrictions but search aliexpress for lg g3 quick circle case.
Still waiting for it to arrive. Was definitely worth the price to me to try...

Are there any links to the specific hardware changes internally and/or software differences between the D850 and other variants in regard to providing the PMA capability? I'm looking for the specific changes made. So far I can't find that listed anywhere but keep seeing people referencing the PMA situation with the D850. I'm trying to see how deep it's tied to PMA. Is it voltage on those pins? Is it linked to a specific driver builtin or bundled with the kernel?
Looking for ways to ditch PMA.

Just found out.
There's a chip and management software. The software is likely a kernel driver and service loaded at startup. There isn't much difference between the two and it's easy for chip makers to make them dual mode and dual QI/PMA chips are already on the market.
It wouldn't be worth the headache to mod this unless you really like to tinker, can cannibalize a chip from another G3 and load a ROM for that other variant. Not worth it. You're better off buying or trading for a variant.

My only complaint with my Photon Q so far is not having a removable battery.
I was thinking of picking up this Anker or the cheap Chinese knockoff I saw on Ebay.
Any opinions based on experience with any of these "power banks"?

Personally, If I forget to charge the phone I've forgotten to charge the backup battery as well. You've also got the added bonus of always having to carry a usb cable around with you!
I don't know if I'd place much trust in the chinese knockoff but I guess its always hit or miss.
I bought a usb charging wrist strap on thinkgeek mostly cause its versatility seemed neat, connectors for all sorts of devices. I sadly was using a blackberry at the time but it charged it perfectly fine, the shift and photon don't charge with it for long, like 1-2 percent and then act like its disconnected. I haven't tried with the phones off, it may possibly work fine if the phone is powered off.

I was looking at the same battery pack. I might jump on it. If you get the next level up as well you get $10 off on amazon. (This only is in consideration for me since my friend needs one too...) So $75 for both the 5600mah model and 8400mah.
I never really forget to charge my phone...it just runs out. My Epic was not the best...I always kept a spare battery around and I'd need it even on normal days. So I guess I have to get an external one like this. I guess it's more versatile in the end.
Oh right and as for the knockoff, I'm usually all for trying them but this one doesn't seem cheaper enough for me to get it. Since I'd just be carrying it around a lot for emergencies (or, long days) I'd want something I think I can trust to hold a charge for maybe a month without me checking on it.
duracell powersource mini
i have the Duracell powersource mini it does it job, it will fully charge the photon q from 20 to about 90% but that is also with the phone on, so it is still using the battery while it is charging also, and i like it, if you check around at some of the truck stops, they will have them, i got 5 for 7 dollars each
I have the RAVPower and it really saved me at Comic-Con. Fully charged my XT910 MAXX twice and had a bit left over!

According to their website, the Tylt only has 1500mah compared to the 5600mah of the Anker.
If this is true, the Tylt = FAIL.

Just to play devil's advocate in fairness to 903, you didn't provide a link to said official site and the information you referenced yourself either, and even with the qualifiers, the all-caps 'FAIL' descriptor could also be interpreted as a bit aggressive from the start. You could have instead simply said 'If this is true, then it appears to me that the Anker is a better/superior solution' or something along those lines.
Not trying to help facilitate an argument here by any means, just saying there's 2 ways of looking at either post, and regardless, there's no real need for anyone to get their feathers ruffled IMO.

Logic doesn't always apply when talking about people. Was a simple misunderstanding, no point in continuing past that.
Some of these posts make me laugh......
Regardless, the Tylt that was introduced by 903tex is a BRICK compared to the Anker.
The comparable sized Tylt to the Anker is obviously the one I was talking about and I provided the link below.
The Tylt with similar exterior dimension to the Anker is 1500 mah and is a fraction of the 5600mah provided by the similarly sized Anker.
So, the Tylt IS a FAIL.
http://www.tylt.com/zumo/index.html
Best Buy has a version of the Anker called a "AGPtek" on their website.
But, it appears to be sold by a 3rd party on Best Buy's website.
Can anyone explain this?

I ordered the Anker from Amazon and I'm happy with it.
It easily fits in my front pocket with my wallet and keys and it charges the Moto Q in about the same time as a wall charger.
I just place the Anker on a desk/table/bar and and lean the Moto Q on it while it's charging like a prop stand. Pretty inconspicuous and convenient.

I guess i got lucky. Last year i saw one on slickdeals by P/A tech (some knockoff) but its 11000mAh and has a 1A and a 2A charge port. I can charge my phone in like 2 hours on the 2A port and get 4-5 charges out of the battery pack. Best part is, on the deal it was like $25. If you have the patients, watch those sites. A lot of stuff that comes up is junk but every once in a while you find gold.
I'm looking for a place to buy this:

I will have the black one since in my country only black and white are available and i'd love the blue one much more. I checked on ebay, only one seller sells an OEM blue battery door but i contacted him and he told me they are production reject and most of his parts dont come with the rubber that make the phone IP67. Does anybody know where i can buy just the back door battery cover?
Also interested to know this.
Seconded. Planning on getting the black, since Sprint isn't carrying the blue yet.

I can guarantee no north american carrier will have the blue version at launch. All signs point to that.

Sadly yeah. I'm afraid (i dont recall who posted it first) is right. The only way to get blue backs with the IP67 is going to be waiting for samung to release the wireless charging in that color. But they may not do that until they release the blue phone. Which we have no clue how long that might be at this point.

In some countries samsung does sell direct to consumers through their online store, in hong kong samsung has 4 offcial samsung store that sell samsung accessories including battery covers, i've already purchased 3 oem battery cover for the note 3 (orange, brown and electric blue).
Right now it's to early to say if samsung will released them, the phone should only be released any day now.
BTW I think the wireless cover will only come in white and black, and it should be about 1-2mm thicker.

I will not consider a third party cover, cases and S View cover, i've seen plenty of them yesterday in china, the quality is very good, the sad thing is, the rubber seal is not up to the standard to give you a proper seal and i'm sure it will now prevent water from getting in.

"From what I have read, LG, at AT&T' s request, hardware disabled Qi charging on the AT&T variant. The only way to do this is to get the pma circle case, take the the reciever out and put it onto the original battery cover."

Our AT&T LG G3 D850 model is the one marked "Not compatible"
Here is the official G3 slim hard case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Official...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1c433e4848
LG Slim Hard Case:
LG Slim Guard Case:
I have not heard from anywhere that LG will be making their amazing beautiful case for our AT&T model. The mission is to find a backing and/or charging coil pad that is compatible to our matching charging shape (NFC + wireless charging = total of 4 connections with bigger gap in middle)
A quick search for PMA, Powermat charging stations on Amazon shows a decent one from Duracell:
http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Powe...F8&qid=1406162696&sr=8-1&keywords=pma+charger
So no problem finding one of those.
Now that we know exactly which time of connection we need let's update here and see what we find for our G3s :good:
From what I have read, LG, at AT&T' s request, hardware disabled Qi charging on the AT&T variant. The PMA standard charges at a higher voltage than Qi. G3 battery covers that support Qi charging don't work with the AT&T variant. What is lacking for PMA charging is a choice of battery covers or just a reciever that one could put under the stock battery cover. The only way to do this is to get the pma circle case, take the the reciever out and put it onto the original battery cover.
Seems in the US, we have the inductive standard and a magnetic resonance standard. The resonance model seems superior at the moment. Both groups have joined to try to influence a world wide standard. Texas Instruments has a hardware chipset that can function with both Qi or PMA standard. Now to get someone to build a damn phone worth buying with this tech would bring it all full circle.
I think some of the reasons that PMA recievers aren't available like Qi recievers, is licensing.

Take a look over at the original G3/Assecories threads. Is all been tried and failed for the reasons I've mentioned above. Kind of stinks, but there are work arounds. Am I happy with it, no. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops for wireless charging. Yes we are first adopters & like cell service in the US, it's multiple competing standards backed by differing corporate entities.
Care to enlighten me a to why it wouldn't work? Yo your "above" doesn't cover what I'm suggesting

Just spent an hour reading on the general Accessories page. I guess the coils that have the correct contacts don't work with Powermats. They tried it.

Those people seem to want to use international pma stickers... Which baffles me why and also why it wouldn't work.
What I want to do is use the qi sticker, modified to add the gap, on an att phone

Do a search on PMA VS qi and your questions will be answered. I'm not trying to be an a$$, but this topic was covered pretty well. The original G3 forum was first, this forum was started well after the original. It is missing some good info regarding this particular matter.

If you have some key piece of information I'd love to hear it, but it seems to me a qi coil + a qi charger = power. All we need to do is get the contacts in the right place and the power will go to the battery.

I would love to, but aliexpress has issues with washington:
3. Fail to place order due to Washington address
Please note that due to legal restrictions, AliExpress is unable to provide Escrow service to residents located in Washington. Therefore, you are unable to choose Washington as your shipping address and the order can’t be placed successfully. However, please be assured that the Escrow service will resume later this year.

Take a minute to read through this whole thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/d850-qi-charging-mod-t2809994
The thread should have been migrated to the AT&T section to clear up any misinformation but it's still in the general section.
Everything has already been tried, only possible solution is probably something like what some folks have done to the Nokia 1520 > hardware transplant.
So there's a wireless communication protocol in both standards. I would guess it's being disabled on a software level since all the hardware other than the coil seems to be the same on the phone.
Perhaps if we ever get the bootloader unlocked this could change...
That's a good thread, thank you.

I'm still confident that Qi is disabled via software and can be somehow be enabled. I get that the lumia was hardware but that has been proven, too many post saying its hardware with the G3 D850 without any proof.

I found and bought a qi battery cover and have a qi charger...where the contacts align...no dough... I also have a qi sticker that plugs into microusb...that works because it's converting qi induction to standard micro usb.
For the 850, you will have to have use a pma coil to run wireless charging thru those contacts.

I know it's not a big deal but this is one of the reasons I haven't jumped on the G3 yet. I really like it except for this and some of the rumored performance/battery issues. I don't even care if I have to use PMA and replace all my charging pads but that circle case can't be my only choice!?!?

I made the jump from my N5, S5 and M8. I truly enjoy wireless charging, but this phone was too nice. I'm glad I made the switch. It does stink that the only choice is the Folio case. However, if you do need the wireless charging, you'll want to continue holding off as you have.

In the USA LG has a promo going on with the v10. Get a 200gb sdcard and a free spare battery and charger cradle.
I hope the promo comes with that battery case.

I remember a few years ago, the S3 or some other device had this deal as well. I got one of those as well. The title for this "freebie" is a little misleading as it says extra battery, charger and cradle, but nowhere do I see a cradle in the promo pictures. Do they mean battery cradle (charger) that they're showing?

I get what he's saying. Maybe we both read it wrong, but my impression before I looked at what was actually shipping was that a "charging cradle" would be shipping. I think the issue is that some of us remember what charging cradles look like in the past for phones. The listing to me (before I read examined it thoroughly) made it seem like it came with an SD card, a 3000mAh battery, and a charging cradle -- meaning, a cradle that you can put the phone in and charge the phone. The only charging cradle I had in the past was sort of a mount that you popped the phone in (connected to the USB port on the bottom) and just behind that it had a place where you put the extra battery in to charge that at the same time.
That is actually what I was saying...

I am from those days, which is what I read when I read "cradle" so, exactly, this is a battery charger, not a cradle in which you put in a device and an extra charging bay in the back for an extra battery.
PS, this is what I thought when I read charging cradle: http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-Cradle-Charger-Bottom-Connector/dp/B00753R08K
Oh, yeah, to the other poster who so eloquently wrote, "not to be a ****..." you failed miserably at not being one. Sometimes, you should just be nice, and not resort to anonymous bashing of others.
I emailed LG asking what the contacts are for on the rear of the phone (under the battery cover), turns out I was correct in assuming they were wireless charging support:

How about the other versions?
What phones that have metal back panels support native wireless charging? Can't think of one right now.

I only emailed about my variant, but I assume if they have those contact pins around the back they will support wireless charging. The only one that may be different is the AT&T which probably only does PowerMat because they invested too much into that standard to ever give it up, lol.

This one doesn't either. You will have to replace the back with something that isn't metal (as the email suggests, their Quick Circle case). However, Qualcomm has had WiPower for years that supports wireless charging through metal phones, but no one has ever used it for some reason...

Because it's it's own standard and doesn't support Qi or PMA so that would mean people would have to buy a whole new charging pad.
The majority of manufacturers that enable wireless charging are Qi standard (Samsung supports both Qi and Powermat). If Qualcomm could somehow get iPhone to incorporate WiPower then it would basically destroy Qi/PMA overnight and Android OEM's would switch at that point.
Right now it's the whole Beta/VHS battle (if you're that old to remember), Laser Disc vs DVD (more of a late 90's battle) or most recently HDDVD vs Bluray battle thing. In the end one format will win and everyone will switch to it (not always for the best though). HDDVD was a cheaper better format but Bluray at the time offered more storage capacity and was "more secure" (even though the DRM has been stripped/broken on bluray).

The T-Mobile variant does not.
There's a small gap in the area where the pins would be, but, it doesn't look like anything that could accommodate wireless charging.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to negate any posts that point in the other direction, just posting my observations on my TMOUS LG V20.
To the contrary, I hope that somehow, wireless charging can be achieved (other than the stickers that plug into the USB port).
If an OEM LG V20 Charging Case or, battery cover becomes available, I'll order one (or both) & report my findings here.

There are 10 pins all the way around the back of the T-Mobile phone that are currently insulated from touching the metal back cover, that is what I asked about in the email to LG. They said they're used for wireless charging, maybe not all of them, but some.

Nah, that doesn't replace the back cover and it doesn't plug in at the bottom so I can't imagine it supporting Qi. They probably would've explicitly stated it did wireless charging.

My ATT version has those too, but I'm pretty sure they're some sort of snap for the back cover. Lay your cover next to your phone (phone with screen facing down, and cover with inside facing up), and you'll see some little squares on the cover that line up perfectly with those copper/gold pins on the phone.

Like mentioned above, those pins go to the NFC antenna that is mounted around the camera cutout in the back cover.

You are indeed correct regarding the lack of wireless charging support with the VOIA Case (not my video,but,it shows all the deets of the case)
That feature aside,if you're a fan of this style of case,it has a great fit,can be used with or without the metal backing,a nice feature in of itself if you want to use one of the QI Charging stickers that plug into the USB Port:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnB2gsR9XYI
Since people don't seem to understand what pins we're discussing, I have circled the 10 of them here... They are not the two near the camera for NFC.

Agreed! I feel like wireless charging takes forever, and if your life is like mine that 1 hour is like 1 minute (sometimes) well.... you figure you dont have all day to wait for it to reach the 100. And also to be constantly removing the device and putting it back well.. it makes it last even more .
EDIT: On the other hand, it is good to have variation. Maybe someday it wakes up my interest to buy one of those wireless charging docks. After all, that's why i currently love more lg than samsung, because it has more variation (LOVE MY IR BLASTER) !!
