I just received mine in the mail yesterday. Cool a$$ little device. It charges, functions as a trusted BT device, finds my phone, my phone finds it. Moto Connect reads the remaining battery.
I was concerned that it would be too big for my keys, which is not the case. I'm very happy with it. AMA about it.

How long does the battery last if you don't charge your phone with it? Assuming it didn't die already how much percent do you find it drops per day just based off the bluetooth?

I've had one of these a few weeks now (2 actually, but haven't opened the second one up).
The battery drain is less than 1% per day. Since receiving mine and fully charging it, I hadn't charged it at all for at least two weeks and the juice was just down to 90% with the BT turned on.
Unlike the first poster, I find the thing just a hair too large to put on my key chain, but I also have my car's electronic key and another BT tether device on my keychain (no actual keys, though!). I just put my PP in my back pocket (work slacks, not jeans).
I bought two of them. Both of them arrived with the colored cover starting to peel off. Anyone else having this issue?

I ask because mine got here in the same condition. I live in Miami, very hot and humid climate and I wonder if it has to do with that. Call them, they will replace it for you.
Mine have no issues. Turquoise and yellow. Yellow is still in the package but the turquoise one rides on my key chain and after several weeks seems to be holding up fine.

Hi guys. Just a quick question how long does it take for a full charge from the micro to the moto x?

First, it will not charge the device fully. The Power Pack's capacity is 1500mAh, while the Moto X 2014's capacity is 2300mAh. So you're looking at getting about 65% of your battery back at optimal performance, minus some due to technical inefficiencies, and some more due to other limitations.
Second, it charges at 1A. The Moto's charger is 1150mA (1.15A), so it charges the phone slightly slower than the stock charger.
Hope this helps! I personally don't see the value in $40 for such a device, but if I lost my keys and/or phone more often it'd totally be worth it.
Yeah I regret buying it. Every time I use it it only change like maybe 30%+ from a full micro

Blue 32g SGS3 just died this morning. Worked fine since it was first powered up on 6/6. Overnight charges were fine bringing the battery to 100%. Have not rooted it yet. This morning noticed that the screen was dimmed while it was actively being used (then, after a short time, the brightness returned). Set the phone down for a few minutes, returned and now it's completely dead. Won't power up, plugging in the AC power does not show the charging battery display.
Found one post: www modaco com /topic/355514-sprint-sgs3-screen-sometimes-wont-turn-on/ that seems to indicate that this problem is isolated to the blue SGS3's.

I'm confused. What would the case color have to do with the circuitry of the phone. Just because this has only been reported on blue phones does NOT mean the problem is related to the phone being blue.

Blue 32G Power Problems
Sorry 'bout the typo in my first post. Received the phone 7/6.
Took the phone to the VZ store. Tech there was unable to get the device to power on. Tried all of the usual options (ie. replacing the battery). Had the tech call VZ level 2 which was pretty much a waste of time. Level 2 tech said that I couldn't RMA the device because it was still in pre-order status which was after she said that if the phone was RMA'ed I would end up at the end of the pre-order queue. There was no possible way to get a new phone overnighted to me. Was told that the easiest solution would be to go to a VZ store on Wednesday (launch day) and RMA the phone then.
I mentioned that the Blue phones seem to have problems and asked about changing the color to white on Wednesday. Was told that there would be a restocking fee as the blue and white phones have different sku's. Obviously wasn't too happy, but will fight that battle with VZ on Wednesday.
At the end of the visit, the VZ tech reactivated my old Droid I.

Ok. I see the link. Not sure how valid it is but at least there's something there...
Thanks!
Mine has had problems since I turned the thing on. The screen turns purple with lines through it then it dies and I have to pull the battery to get it back on. Just waiting til it releases in stores to do an exchange.

Edit: Great now the store just called me to say the release was delayed until the 12th.
I just got my Energizer inductive charger today, and it works GREAT!
The charger, however, is a dust magnet, and the phone gets pretty hot while charging.
I'm using a diztronic TPU case on my phone, and the inductive charger manages to work with the case on.
One thing that doesn't seem to work is charging the phone while the phone is powered off.
Also ordered an Oregon Scientific Clock + charger, will report the results when I receive it tomorrow.

haven't calculated it yet but i heard it takes twice as long to charge compared to normal usb charging.
Would you mind taking the case off to see if the phone stays or slides off. I see that slant, and it takes less than that for the phone to move
I've been using the Energizer Qi charger for over a week now and it works great. I have a bumper case on it so sliding is not an issue. I put it on the charger when I go to bed and in the morning the blue light is off meaning it is charged. Make sure you turn off 'DayDream' mode in display settings since this keeps the screen on during charging and causes really slow charging and heats up the phone. So far I haven't been having any heat related issues using the Energizer charger. I also ordered the Panasonic TM101 which hopefully will be here from Japan in the coming weeks.

I had this charger for a few days when I first got my N4. For those worried about the phone sliding, here's what I did... Went to the auto parts store and picked up one of those sticky dashboard pads and cut it to fit. Worked perfectly. I've since purchased the LG WCP-700 charger and use the same sticky pad on it.

I've had two of these chargers for a few weeks. Just today, I noticed a very faint clicking noise coming from the charger when nothing is charging. I've never noticed this before. I'm not home at the moment to check my other charger to see if it also makes the clicking noise, but I'm pretty sure this just started. It still appears to be working fine, but the clicking can get a little annoying. Can anyone else hear it if? Try putting your ear up to it. It has a certain repetitive pattern to it too.

Nope, doesn't have dual alarms, only has one alarm. I'm not really liking the clock, it seems pretty small and the instructions are kind of vague.

Interesting, Not bad.
(oh and btw yeah that's Korean)
i remember the name iRiver from like 10-15 years ago with MP3 players & computer CD-Roms... but I dont know if its the same company.
Can anyone read Korean that can translate it?
I can read Korean.
they say Nexus 4 can be fully charged in 4 hours.
---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
yeh iRiver is a quality Korean company. if it is legit product from them, it should be good.
Looks like a flat orb
60 bux pls 10USD shipping is pretty steep for a non OEM product. But if it works, why not eh? Anyone buy one yet?
And I have ordered a few things from Korea and it takes a bit of time to get it delivered to USA. Last item I got took 12 days to get to me.
iRiver? Is this the same company that made all those mp3 players? I thought they had disappeared for good after smartphones took over.

yup, same company as far as i can tell... but it could be like Polaroid where they went under and another company bought them just for their name.
Really 60 isnt too bad though considering the prices of other changers (assuming this thing is actually decent) The Metrans, Panasonic, LG, Energizer & Anker ones are all $60 + shipping. Its only the unbranded ebay ones that are like 35-40 and they dont seem to work as well.
I have ordered. Should arrive next week. Will give guys some review.

Awesome, can't wait to hear your review. I ordered the orb for home but I want a pad like this for at work. Make sure to take pics too!
This looks great, just a shame that its adapter powered only...would have been great if you could use this with a MicroUSB.
Just got the charger.
Black one.
Having it just for 1 hour. First impressions:
Wow, this thing is well made. You can feel the quality. It has almost the same corner finishing like N4 has. I mean metal-plastic border. So it looks awesone with N4 on top of it.
review:
* Size is like regular CD.
* It is not high.
* It has wavy top, for the heat to come out.
* The top has soft touch, but it's still a little slippery for my naked nexus4.
* It has 3 very low green lights on top, while in charge - they blink.
* You don't need to be extremelly specific where to put phone for charge, but the charging coll is in the middle, so it's best if you put the phone right on it.
* It does not give you any sounds!!! (manual says it has small beep, but haven't managed to trigger it )
* I am not sure, but it feels like it has some magnet inside, and once the phone is close to the charger, you can feel phone is attracted.
* It charges pretty quick. 1 hour - ~ 30% charged.
* The charge distance is pretty big, I can charge my N4 inside leather bugatti pouch. Tried to lift the phone it charged even phone was ~ 1cm away form the top of the charger. Works with OEM bumber, and silicone case as well.
* Adapter power only
* Update the post while it will finish first charger
Overall: Happy with the charger. Will definitely keep it. Will use at work and maybe order LG small one for home
Some pictures:
Couple of quick questions as a friend is interested in this charger...How long was shipping from korea and can you update if it charges to 100% as indicated on your nexus 4 and what happens if you leave your nexus 4 on it (light indicators etc) does the charger switch off and automatically start charging again after a certain time and are the lights annoyingly bright?.Thanks

1. shipped on 03/06/2013 got it on 03/22/2013 destination Lithuania, Europe. Packed very well.
2. lights are not annoying, they are 3 of them and located on the corners, but they are under the top. Light green light...
let you know the charging test results
update:
1. charging reached 100%. N4 stated - charged. Lights still blinking
2. lights stopped blinking - stay on green, phone discharges, charging does not start. You need to take and put down the phone for start charge again.
I think this is OK. Or do you expect the charger to charge even 1% dropped?
Hope this helps.
Usually it will drop to about 96% then start charging again.Can you leave it on a bit longer and see if it starts up again.
What is the output current on the charger?
Also the seller raised the price to 65 + 10 shipping.
Hi, was wondering if this charger will trickle charge to keep the phone around 100% or will turn off until the phone is put back on the pad.
Thanks!
It keeps n4 100%

Hm, contradictory statements.
So, guys, do you confirm, that it indeed supports trickle charging? I need my phone to stay 100% charged as long as it is on the pad.
If it starts to discharge as soon as 100% is reached and doesn't turn charging back on later (when charge drops to 90-97%), then, I assume, it doesn't have one?!

The light from the phone for 30 seconds is gonna wake her up? She must be a really light sleeper then. Being night too it shouldn't be on 100% brightness unless you changed that so I doubt that will wake her up one bit.
Don't think there's a way though to charge without as then you wouldn't know it's charging unless the charger had a indicating light like some wireless chargers do.

Blackout curtains and the sudden-ness of the light change really makes a difference unfortunately

the only other option you have is to look for an app that might do this. by default, the phone can not disable the light from going on when you plug in.
I'm pretty sur Xposed can help you
You could set an automation using Tasker or even Llama should be able to do it.
At the very least you could use them to set the brightness to switch to 1% to make the least of an impact when it does happen.
well, I gave it another shot searching on play store and kept going through the search results until I found something, and I came across this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mp.screenstayofffree
Tested it out a few times and it does exactly why I'm after! Seems I just didn't look hard enough or I just got lucky this time with the search terms...
Fingers crossed this will work out, otherwise you've all given me a few alternative options that I can work with!
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54871/ which is a forward port of this http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/47159/
That was also in CyanogenMod but just noticed you said you wanted to do it without custom ROMs.

I have a Nexus 5 and it turns on 100% of the time when placed on any charger, whether via USB or induction charging. It's how I found this thread.
My Nexus 5 had been acting completely normally, I've had it for a bit over a year without any issues. One second I was messaging a friend, then I put it to sleep, a few minutes later I picked it up and the screen had completely freaked out.

It is almost entirely unresponsive. I've tried turning it off and then back on, but it just reboots to this screen. Sometimes I can get it to go to the unlock screen, but it isn't responsive when I'm there, and eventually that screen just fades away into a blank gray (with this multicolored bar at the top remaining). Occasionally it will say "Optimizing apps", but then nothing happens after that.
Has anyone seen anything like this, know what caused it, or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As of now I've taken out the sim card, and am going to wait until it runs out of battery to see if I can recharge it and reboot normally.
I'm a tad confused, in the picture I see one busted ass n5 lol but you say it boots up? When did you take that picture? It looks like the screen is done in.

Has anyone seen anything like this, know what caused it, or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As of now I've taken out the sim card, and am going to wait until it runs out of battery to see if I can recharge it and reboot normally.

Custom recovery? Boot loader locked?

I would assume the screen is tossed.. I had mine dropped and has 1cm of hairline cracked... Since then the screen went nuts sometimes perfectly ok and sometimes it acting crazy..
There's cracks in your screen, might as well replace the lcd & digitalizer

Was all excited to see an explosion and all we have here is a typical broken lg display. Lame.

Same
so, here's a quick rundown.
have had mine since nov '13.
always in great condition.
not a scratch.
then, out of nowhere (2 weeks ago) after trying to turn the screen back on from standby...nothing.
it automagically rebooted.
oooooook.
no biggie.
after reboot all was well.
for an hour.
then, turned right off in the middle of whatever i was doing.
just...poof. black screen.
wouldn't reboot.
plugged it in over night.
turned on the next day perfectly fine.
after a few minutes...blank screen.
HOWEVER, the led would throb.
then, at some point, the phone rang.
i could answer it with my headphones.
deactivated the phone from my account.
charged it over night.
vol+power and all manner of combos.
the one consistent thing that always happened was that my phone vibrated, followed by a similar colored pixelation as seen above.
sometimes just a line, other times the entire screen.
didn't take much to realise it was the panel combo.
outside of warranty.
so, sent it to lg. they agreed...panel issue. loose connection or bad connection, i'm assuming.
currently being repaired.
being shipped back by the end of this coming week, i hope.
* since my hunch was that it was just a panel issue...i was going to drop it off at one of many "the device shop" repair places (and, their ilk) where i live. however, after walking into a few of them...it's obvious that 90% of their business comes from iphones. they, barely knew what panel replacement they were looking for. they said they had one a few times only to have it turn out to be a nex 4, or some other panel, each time. they just seemed...well, let's just say i'm positive they can repair an iphone panel. anything more than that...i'd rather give it to my 12 yo cousin. same result. felt better sending it to LG.
And you posted that here?? Why
