I don't personally have one, but a close friend purchased one and mentioned that it does take longer than plugging directly into the wall. He said it falls somewhere in between using the wall charger and trying to charge via computer USB. (which is slooow )
It is slow

I'll save the $70-80 and plug it in.
Wireless charging goes at the same rate as charging via USB connected to your computer, and is about 60% of the charge rate of the wall charger.
Does it still work if you have a case on top of the induction back cover?
Funny story I went into my usual Verizon and rep had a blonde moment. I asked him if they had any other charging mats for cheaper and he went to the back and retrieved the inductive battery door and said this is pretty cheap. He was convinced that was all I needed for wireless charging. He compared it to the energizer chargers you plug in for quick charges. He raised his voice when I tried to explain how impossiblle that was lol. Anyways just thought that was a quick laugh.

It will work, but will likely slow charging down even more.
I just brought the cover and the wireless charging pad back to VZW today. Once I rooted and was able to freeze the dock app, all I needed was the docking station to charge.
I froze the dock app because the phone would always eventually go into clock mode (couldn't see the home screen anymore) and VZW said that there was no way to prevent this (other then freezing the app, but of course they didn't say that).
It was cool, but extremely slow to charge and just not worth $80.
You can turn off the dock auto launch in settings, dock settings.

The back is bigger and the stock case won't fit. At least the hard shell and holster I bought.

Absolutely correct, I had to bring the Powermat back.
I have the inductive cover and charging mat from VZW, it cost me $100 and yeah it does charge a bit slower, but it's not as bad as usb charging imo, plus I have a cord there beside my bed if I need to use it, honestly the mat n cover is a waste of money, BUT I wanted to have it and none of my friends have it so when they come over they think its neat to just have the phone sitting there charging, but def isn't a necessity to get the most out of this phone, just a futuristic feature I guess, I don't regret buying it at all, I do have to switch the back off before I put it in my shell/holster tho, but I have an extra 15 seconds to do it everyday lol.
I could be wrong, but isn't one of the benefits of this technology that it stops charging when the battery is full? I can get a full day's use out of my charge, then come home, plop it on a mat and let it charge overnight. If I plug it in, it would charge for a couple hours, then sit constantly charging at full for a couple more (bad for the battery). Seems like a worth-it venture to me.
I'm curious if anyone has purchased any kind of wireless charging unit for their Galaxy S 4. I think they are a neat idea but haven't tried one yet.
If so, can you recommend the brand you prefer and perhaps a link to it?
I'm curious to know if it charges at a manageable rate and is it efficient?
I have considered coughing up some good money on a couple of them if they work but don't want to go in blindly and haven't seen many reviews on them.

Some of them like this seem to maybe be worth it.
They are slow chargers.
I've read something about it here.
There are options out there. A lot cheaper.
Search this specific forum and you'll find the info.

I personally use my Zen wireless pads (mainly cause I've had them for a while) and just bought a wireless Insert from mobile fun. Works great. Yes its a slowish charge but can full charge over night while sleep np.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Charges at a rate about 1/3 the rate of the 2A charger (650mA). But it charges over night no problem. It's more economical to buy the insert and then buy a charging pad. Inserts usually run ~$20, with chargers running $30ish.

Yeah, that's the kind of info i'm looking for. I am interested in this because when I'm at work [I work for long periods of time] I'd like this to keep it charged. I often will pick my phone up to answer a text, or shoot an email or small things like check the weather quickly, or change my song on Spotify and then i'd like to set it back down to continue to charge.
I won't be using it for a regular charger, per se.
I'll just have to look into buying the insert and pad, seemingly cheaper than the options I was recommended previously.
I thought about this too, but read that they can heat up the phones charging this way and sometimes won't stop charging when full?
yes i have a insert receiver i paid £8 plus £17 for base on flea bay and it works perfectly ,i leave it on over night it charges 100% ,no heat or beeps.i am looking for a pad for my car now.
Some base stations aren't as good as others and will cause the device to heat up. Technically, they all cause the device to heat up but so does plugging it in.
I have three different base stations. The Samsung base, one from ebay(has a qi logo on it) and one from aliexpress(just has a wifi logo on it, and claims 1000 or 1500 output). The ebay one works very well, but makes an annoying loud beep when the phone is placed on it. The aliexpress base works allright but does cause the phone to heat up more than the other base stations.
The samsung base works fine, no annoying beep. But...it didn't come with a power cable so you have to use the cable that came with your phone to plug it up (in fact, it recommends a 2A charger for it). The other two both came with their own power cables.
I've not done tests to see what rates each of the base stations charge at but there's no noticeable difference.
Unfortunately, none of the wireless charging items I purchased have links to them anymore and I can't find comparable items. I wish I could just provide you with the companies I used that gave me the best results, but I just can't track them down.

If you are willing to do a little tweaking with the ebay one, you can rip off the top cover and cut off the speaker that makes the beep. I did that with mine and it stopped the beeping.
Is there not a kernel to increase the charging current on the wireless pads? There was for note 2 (neak kernel)?
I know that everyone is writing Powermat off as a failure but I just got an aftermarket insert for the S4 from a seller on Amazon - the reason why I chose Powermat is because I can use it in Starbucks and McDonald's - no real point in having wireless charging at home anyway. Can't do links but I guess if you search for 'pma thin receiver galaxy s4' you'll find it.
Sorry to bump such an old-ish thread, but I just got a QI patch for my S4, had it on my S3 and loved it. Works great and no issues whatsoever. Gets a tad bit hot but that's pretty much it. It charges at a decent rate.
I just picked up an S4 a few days ago that came with the wireless charging back. I am using a fatboy charging pillow that has the Nokia DT-900 plate in it that I got last year with my DNA. I've used several of the charging plates and they all work well and charge around 1A. What inserts is everyone talking about? What I have is the replacement back cover that includes the qi coil. It's slightly thicker and my issue has been finding a case that fits well over it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I had been using the Nokia wireless transmitter before with my Note2. Just went on Amazon and ordered a $13 receiver and a UAG case. All works perfectly. Slight bulge on the battery cover but not noticeable with the UAG case on it. There is a slight weight difference but you have to expect that because the receiver is a copper coil.
Charging is slower than USB but perfect for night time recharging. =)

I guess you're talking about the official Samsung Qi transmitter. My experience with the LG WCP-300 is similar. I tested the S4 with the official Samsung receiver back and got 640mA current input with 4 different power supplies (2.1, 1.8, 1.2, & 1 amp).

Nope, none of the things I'm using at OEM. All after market. I think I mistyped and meant to say 640mA.

I just noticed you didn't get an answer yet. The inserts are three Qi receivers that look like thin patches of plastic with very thin copper wires in them. There are many on eBay & Amazon, but really they all look much the same. Prices seem to run from around $12 to just under $30. Some are known to interfere with the NFC function. All seem to create a slight bulge when you place them against the battery contacts and put the back cover on. Some listings give the thickness in millimeters.
Typical:

I don't know about real cases, but I got a bumper for $6.50 that I like:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWZJOB8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only apparent flaw is that the charging back cover is barely recessed into the bumper. No scratches yet, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm curious about the amount of power the phone actually receives using the OEM charging back with the OEM Charin pad. Would you mind checking that & posting it here, please? You can use the free app Current Widget from the Play Store, and it'll help me decide between the OEM pad and a generic.

I bought this external battery pack because I wanted something to power my Nexus 6p, with rapid charging. I can confirm that this battery pack registers as charging rapidly on the lock screen. This charger also can charge 3 devices at once. It has a USB type c port, 2.4a USB port and a quick charge 2.0 USB port. The charger still delivers enough amperage for rapid charging while charging 2 devices at the same time as shown in one of the pictures.
Finally this charger has 4 indicator lights on it to display how much capacity is left in the power bank. The size of this power bank is a little bigger than a nexus 6p and it comes with 2 USB type A to micro USB cables. Overall this power bank is a great value and already came in handy many times!
I received mine today too its great!
Wow, that one battery badboy! May get one...
Been happy with mine.

I really like mine. I pretty much use it wherever I go. I actually bought two one for home and one for work.
hows the weight on this thing? Seems beastly ... is it pocketable? Id like to get one but concern about the size. I'm used to easily putting an extra battery in my pocket so not being able to replace battery will take some getting used to. Wish this came in like 10,000mah at half the size
weight is fine, but it's too thick and wide to be pocketable. I've posted more in depth in the other thread for this, but it's a really good product that delivers fast charging and plenty of juice

If you mean to recharge the 6P with the power bank, it seems to be the exact same speed as the stock charger, around 100 minutes for 1-100%.

I was digging around on ebay for accessories for my G5 and i suddenly found this type of wireless charger for LG G5 that comes with a sticker and it has a cable on the bottom to transfer the charge from the sticker into the phone. So.... has anyone tried it already? Comment what do you think about it. Are we getting closer to have wireless charging capability the same or similar way than other devices with wireless charging feature? In my opinion this might be an improvement. (not that i use wireless charging a lot but it is sometimes useful)
I've seen that this doesnt only work for the LG G5, it actually works for any device with type C usb as i have been digging even more and see that it works for other devices too.

You still need to get the charging base, unless you have one, many of these receiver that plugs into the USB port is not very reliable, too many detection error and very fragile, but I did try a micro USB QI receiver yesterday on the G5 and it work fine, that is upto now without error also trying some QI extention cable receiver, still work perfect.

What is most interesting about this is that it works with any device (smartphone) with Type C . According to the descriptions you find on ebay and amazon. I will have to give it a try. Dont know when i will be able to buy it exactly, but i will
I would check the output. These G5 take a large 1800mA (could be more haven't looked) charger. I used to grab those Qi universal charger films you are talking about. Worked great until phones started taking 1000mA or greater chargers. Many of these wireless chargers do NOT support fast enough charging. Meaning it could take 4 hours to get your battery to 50% or even longer (some are only 500mA chargers, almost 75% slower than normal).
So be prepared for extremely slow, albeit convenient, charging. Check the output of your charging base and the output of the charging film first.
I just ordered that sticker from eBay. I'll report back once I have it and tested it. I have the tylt 3-coil wireless charger. Charging speed is no issue for me. I don't need rapid charging like from the OEM charger.
If you don't have tylt, you can try the spigen 3-coil wireless charger. They're cheap on eBay! I'm not sure if it'll work (I haven't tested it) , but spigen is a good brand for most things.

There is only one available, no matter where you buy it, it's the same product, speed is slower than cable, but that was expected, if you use a case, it's very fiddly to put on and take off, as the plug area is very big when you compare them to other receivers like the micro USB or lightning.

If you are concern about slow speed, you shouldn't use it, as I say it's slower than cable, I mean with a normal charger, not a fast charger, but i'm ok with that, I have never liked fast charge, if you are using a TPU case, it easy to use, but cases like my voia or spigen style armor with removable bottom has problems, the head is very big, so not all case will fit.

Great!! thanks for sharing. Any intel about how long does it take to charge from x% to y%? any given value to x and any given value greater than X given to Y. Also, when you are using the device, whether it transfer enough energy to keep using the phone while it charges or whether the battery will decrease while you are using the phone. (In an average usage: Say, Facebook, youtube with brightness in about 50-70%, or having at least 3 or 4 applications running in the background that are not so heavy, nor light) If you have tried any of this things, or all of them, please share your experience with it.
According to the description of the link i posted, it says that the output is 1000mA
But thank you for sharing the video
With about 1 hour of charging, i got about 10% of charge. If there's load, it'll def drop the charging capability. I'll do more rigorous testing, but as it stands, it's charging slowly.
Part of it can also be because I'm using the tylt charger, which has a 5 w output.

hmm yeah. There might be some factors affecting the rate of charge. I mean, 10% in 1 hour? that shouldn't be a standard charge rate. I will dig in a little more and see what i can find out there in google. Maybe someone did try it with a charging dock with higher Watts output. I will let you know if i found something

With about 1 hour of charging, i got about 10% of charge. If there's load, it'll def drop the charging capability. I'll do more rigorous testing, but as it stands, it's charging slowly.
Part of it can also be because I'm using the tylt charger, which has a 5 w output.

Okay, before i looked into google i decided to see what other sellers on ebay have to offer and here is what i found. There are sellers that sell the sticker along with a charging dock with an input of 2000mA and output of 1000mA, Power: 10W. I think that would only double the estimated time you just gave me from x to y being 10% in 1 hour . But it still too low. Maybe the cover is another factor? Maybe there are materials that decrease the overall charging rate by slowing the transference of energy from the dock to the wireless receiver. I will look for more info.
I really miss wireless charging, and was hoping to find a dock or cradle I could pop my phone into so it can charge. There are a ton of Type C docks on Amazon. Anyone buy one or have any recommendations? Let me know!
Would not recommend this type, worked ok plugged into a PC for charging for a few weeks but not so well now. Never worked for docking to PC, always throws up errors - works fine with same cable (not the one supplied cos that was rubbish) and adaptor.
Haven't had a chance to test second battery charging capacity but judging by main bit it'll be bobbins.
It's also unstable, so if you go to swipe the screen (or even lightly brush it) it'll topple.
I was looking at that one..But it doesn't look like it would work with a case (out a thick one). I ordered this one from Amazon. Waiting for it...I'll let you know

I was looking for one open on the sides and deep enough to get up into the case.
Waiting for it...I'll let you know in a couple days.

Basically the same as the one I wouldn't recommend. Even if it charged well, it's still pretty unstable and wobbles massively when you touch the phone. You'd need to stick it to something to stop the wobble.
Hmm... I'll keep searching
Edit: THIS OR THIS ONE
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017K46T1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's been great. Holds the phone firmly, sometimes too tight to get it off, but you'll get the hang of it. It's adjustable so it fits a case too.
It was a little finicky with some 3rd party QC2.0 wall chargers, but works fine with the LG Charger, Tronsmart charger and Anker chargers.
Just a quick review of my impressions of the WeCell dock.
I found it to be quite sturdy. Doesn't want to tip over, but you do require two hands when taking it from the dock as it's too light. Could be fixed to a surface to fix that. If your looking for something that doesn't take much space on a bed side table...it is space saving.
The USB connector pivots about 20 degrees which can make it a little tricky to dock, but after using it a few times I found it easy to dock properly.
I noticed that you should use the provided cable with the stock lg charger to get a proper charge. Was a little inconsistent with the Anker charger.
Overall it's a ok charger, but if your looking for something to use one handed, might want to check out the one posted above.
