Gear4 Powerpad qi compatible wireless charger

Hi Guys just a heads up really, I tweeted Gear4 regarding the powerpad asking if it's qi compatible, they replied today saying it is, I've just ordered one from ebay for just under £14 delivered, I'll let you know if it works when it gets here. :fingers-crossed:

Hmm, I'll believe it when I see it, but fingers crossed.

woop cheers for this ordered hope it works

Here's hoping this works, would be nice for us to have an affordable charger here. I'm still dubious after the whole Nokia chargers not working and I cant find much on this one, is not even on the gear 4 website

Update 1:
from googling it looks like gear4 are in the wireless charging consortium and they are all for Qi see http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10610883
Update2:
well after checking the member list of the consortium i cant seem to find them
http://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/member-list/
Update3:
I cant find it in their "official" product list either hopefully it does work but maybe hasnt been ran through any tests or they may of lost or not paid for their membership ?

I think it's not in their product list because it's been out for a while. If you look at the ebay listing for it the title shows that it comes with a charging case for an iPhone 3GS. I know this is an Android/WinMo community so people may not know much about iProducts but the 3GS came out in 2009. =P

Be careful, as suggested in jimmygoska's post this product is quite old. There is a review of it from november 2009 here.
The QI standard was released in August 2009, and the first compatible products were from Energizer in late 2010. I think the chap from gear4 made a mistake!

I wouldn't trust the current of that thing pumping power into my expensive N4. It looks like some knockoff plate with questionable electronic quality, IMO.

looking at a few youtube videos somethings just occurred to me will the n4 actually fit?
it's a fair bit bigger than the 3gs
before you start no im not talking about the sleeve i'm talking about the tray area of the pad
its a bit late for me seeing as i've already ordered one so if you see me selling it then you know it doesn't work or the tray is too small

The N4 is only 1.8cm taller and 0.6cm wider than the 3GS without the case on it. I can imagine the wireless case for the 3GS adds more than that.

I hope so

Well, I have sad news. The gear4 PowerPad is not compatible with nexus4.
It simply does not react to the phone

As expected really.

Really, well that's sh*t, haven't even received mine yet, when I do it's going straight back

Where can I buy back glass cover for N4?

HI! I broke the glass on the back cover. Don't you know where can I buy this cover?

PMed you.

I need one, too. Can you PM me?
Sent from my SPH-L900

Was the OP able to get his hands on a replacement back? I am curious to hear about it. This would eliminate the need to use cases and whatnot if the replacements aren't very expensive.

I don't need one but would like to know if any are available able. Can you please post publishing of you know where that are avaliable?

I'm curious, too, as the back cover isn't just glass and plastic. I can't paste links yet but iFixit shows the back cover contains electronic components:
A number of pressure contacts power the NFC antenna and connect the induction coil needed for wireless charging to the motherboard.

It would seem to me that even without the glass component, replacement backs would be a lot pricier than other models'.

A I bought one off eBay a couple days back. Guy said he bought a couple straight from LG but was only selling one. I won it on eBay. I bought it as an extra for my nexus but I guess if someone needs it really bad I'm willing to sell it to them.

I think all of us would be interested

I'm afraid I need one too.
Why the secrecy? I haven't been able to find one and was surprised to see that OP is only pm'ing about the price and stuff.
Anyway, I'd appreciate if anybody could sell me one or recommend where to purchase it.
Thanks

I don't need one, but, out of curiosity, how much did the original seller pay? I'm wondering what the cost to repair this phone might be in the future if need be.
If I ever break my back, though, I'll probably just get a full body case to hide it.

Hey guys, so the seller shipped it, I'm in Canada so it ended up being a little more for shipping costs... about $75 in total. Lets wait and see what it's like when I get my hands on it. Also no clue how much he got it for, I messaged him numerous times and all he would say was that he bought it from LG and he repairs phones so its legit. Mentioned that he bought a few but was only selling one...
Hopefully when it arrives I can answer some more questions.

How did you contact the seller? Would you mind sharing contact details? I can't seem to find any spares online except for the digitiser.

So like I mentioned before I bought ONE on eBay. The seller posted on xda first (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042898). I have PMed him constantly on both eBay and here and he has not responded. Sorry guys I wish I could answer all the questions in the PMs you're sending me but I'm just as much in the dark as you!
Let the product arrive and then I can let you know how legit it it, and then I might sell it. BUT I DO NOT HAVE IT YET. AND I ORDER ONE!! Lol.

To everyone requesting the back cover
I will have more in the next few days. I only put the one on Ebay because I had an extra. I have tried to answer as many pm's as I can, but it has been difficult due to power outages. I don't know what the end user would be charged if they called in to LG, but I was only doing this to help out fellow XDA members. I'm not not trying to profit off of these, but i'm sure if & when they are available to the public, somebody will take advantage. Like I said in my initial thread, if anyone has questions about the construction, please ask, & as far a legitimacy, it has a pn#, otherwise I wouldn't have been able order it.

Am interested to review this product. I own a s6 edge plus from verizon.

Best things I have liked about your past products:

- They do what they are supposed to do efficently and well. That is charging devices.

I would love to review your wireless chargung product.

I was actually looking at your charger online yesterday on Amazon. I was just thinking it needed more reviews before I'd buy it. I'd be more than happy to review your product for my Samsung Galaxy S6+.
I filled out your online form and sent out a tweet.
Thank you!

I'd love to try this out.

I have a normal Samsung Wireless charger and just want to share that it took me to fully charge my phone 2 hours.
Can someone tell me how fast it is with the "Fast" Wireless charger ? Because 2 hours is pretty fast to me.
(I forgot to messure time of the Wall Fast Charger, will do on next charging session, just to see that difference).

Yes, keep us updated. My ocd is kicking in with this silver adapter lol.

Is there an option to order this to be shipped to the US? When I went to the site I only saw Germany as the country option. Maybe if I try a computer browser instead.
I was very tempted on ordering the case-mate band/adapter. I would have ordered it if it wasn't for the adapter color. I know I would not have liked the clash in it. I'm on the fence if I want to trade my 3g in for the new classic 3g. I'm only really holding out in hopes that maybe t-mobile will start carrying the new LG watch and if so I may try that out instead.

Ya I got sick of them being sliver. If you are good at working with metal and know how to control the temperature of metal, you can flame color it without annealing the steel.
It turns a bronze color.
You can also color them black if you have the chemicals, it is called black oxide. It blackens steel, I have to get me some of the chemicals for my knife making.

How to get free AKG headphone with Note 20

Samsung isnt including wired headphones with the new phone but Samsung*said that "for those consumers that prefer the USB-C wired headphones, our customer car team can offer them on request."
You will need the phones imei number.
So, all you need to do is get in contact with Samsung Support, once you get your new Galaxy Note 20 device. You can call Samsung support at 1-800-726-7864. Or you can text "HELP" to 62913. And just let them know that you want to get your complimentary pair of AKG headphones. Samsung support should send them right out.

They are not providing AKG headphone I guess...I reached out to them and they provided some $30 coupon codes for samsung branded earphones...

Came complete with the headphones for my note20 here in the UK.

I just sent a HELP text to 62913. He asked for a screen shot of my receipt/ order and they are sending me 2 sets of headphones for free.
Thanks for the tip!

Kinda funny how they arrived. Just tossed some loose buds in the envelope. No official packaging or anything. But they were free.
