Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:

It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?

wow, that thing adds wireless charging to a phone that doesn't have wireless charging. that's pretty cool. sorry it didn't work with the N4 tho

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.

buy the lg pad at any verizon store. its 1000ma and only 50 bucks.

if the philips one that i will receive tomorrow doesn't work, i will resend it to the get full refund, and i will buy the lg pad, but i don't live in US, i'm in France
So if i need it, i'll try to get one on eBay

Thanks for the post. I had actually been looking at this one on eBay. It's only $50usd shipped in the US ebay. I'm sorry you bought something and ended up waisting your money, but I appreciate you sharing your experience with others so we don't make the same mistake.

YES, i'm perfectly sure
The Philips charger come with an additional "bumper case" that add the wireless charging capacity to Iphone 4 and 4S.
But i don't use that "bumper case", only the charger, and it works

The Oregon Scientific QW201 "Time & Wireless Charging Station" works to charge the phone.
http://www2.oregonscientific.com/ca...-prod-Time-and-Wireless-Charging-Station.html
It also has a few other neat features like remote thermometer. However I'm returning mine for a few reasons.
1. the atomic clock set didn't work
2. viewing angle extremely limited
3. bright blue charging indicator
I'd probably have kept it if not for #1.

Dt900 is rated at a measly 300 mah.

anybody wants to try these? its rated for 1800 mAh batteries.... seeing that some chargers that are rated for 1000 mAh all worked, and that the nokia DT-900's that are rated for 300 mAh did not work, these could potentially work (?). Nexus 4 battery is rated at 2100 mAh ... . anybody here goes to vegas on weekends? :silly: :

Don't think it works, otherwise all of us would have swooped them up by now lol. For one, I don't think it reads anywhere that it's qi standard.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :

[Q] Wireless charger that will work for both Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?

I just recently got a Nexus 4, and my girlfriend got a Galaxy S3 for christmas. I know the S3 doesn't have native wireless charging (requires some sort of adapter to the pinout under the back cover, I think?), but I was wondering if there's either: A) a way I can add wireless charging to the S3 that would be compatible with the recently released charging orb through the play store, or B) an option that would somehow work for both, if the S3 can't be made compatible with the orb.
I made an effort to search through other questions to make sure this hadn't been asked before, so forgive me if it has and I missed it!

Rumors have it that Samsung is developing a kit, if its Qi compatible then all Qi chargers will work with it.
The real place to ask the question is in the S3 forums. If they make it Qi youre good, if not then its on them.

I got the adapter from fast tech for the S3 (cheapest I could find it at $15 including shipping) for my Boyfriend's S3. I have a Nexus 4. Once the adapter and my Qi chargers arrive I will report back and let you know. I did not order the orb, but I did get the cheap $35 one from fast tech, and the double Duracell one from amazon.
I think I should get at least the adapter and the double duracell one next week. We also have a variety of cases for the s3 to test with.

I'm hoping that orb will work for galaxy s3. Not only I'm getting useless nexus 4i also ordered the orb. My wife might kill me. Lol. We got Verizon and at least a year and a half on contract left.

I'm using the Energizer dual charger (Qi certified) to charge both my N4 and my wife's GS3. I bought an after market Qi receiver for the GS3 from eBay. It fits under the stock back cover. Works great.
I like the energizer unit since I can do both phones at the same time.

Had various wireless chargers, Nokia beats all, it just works, drop your phone and that's it, no fidling with correct placement or similar nosense.
Though there is a funny thing with Nexus 4 and wireless charging...

I, too, have an S3 and a N4, which are sharing one wireless charger (Power Qi). I had to buy a Qi receiver and apply it on top of the battery for S3. It makes the back of S3 hump a little bit, but the battery cover still snaps in. Of course, S3 feels heavier too.
That said, things work fine. Charging faster than computer usb 2.0 and slower than wall charger, but I can grab it an run whenever I want.

In Vietnam it's about 37 USD per unit and the receiver is about 10 USD.

review Dual Desktop Charging Cradle & Sync Dock

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-RP-...atible/dp/B00E7NWAKY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.ravpower.com/
just picked up one of these Dual Desktop Charging Cradle & Sync Dock for $19.99 and im loving the ability to charge phone and extra batter while synced to pc/laptop to do my file transferring ect. phone fits in the charger very secure so no worries on moving cradle if needed plus the base of the cradle is a hard rubber so it wont slip.extra battery fits in back out of the way and fit there is also secure. has the led lights to show when charging and when fully charges for both phone and spare battery. had lots of cradle chargers in the past and for the price and how its works this is best one i used. also these cradles are Compatible without or with a Slim-Fit Case

The mobile goes in the dock mode¿? Because i know there are some docks than don't do that. And thanks for the review.

not sure what your asking, i can provide more pics if needed or answer any questions? phone docks in the front and can be connected to pc/or whatever you want and extra battery charges in back of cradle.

I think he's asking if the phone recognizes it's docked, and goes into dream mode (which you activate in settings). I'd like to know that as well, but regardless I may get this, thanks for the review!

100% True Qi Wireless Charger *VIDEO*

It's not that hard to modify one to be completely wireless yourself...

Amazon link for anyone who is interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=B00CY4SG10&linkCode=as2&tag=thedroideffec-20
Too bad it's a bit expensive. But yeah, most QI chargers are that price range.

The amazon page lists support for the nexus 5. Lugolake is in the know.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 4

The one review on amazon that includes the N4 didn't rate this charger well. In fact it mentions that same problem I've had with any Qi charger and the N4...placement is critical and must be precise, and you have to check several times after placement to make certain that it's actually still charging.

Yeah, I think you mean 2.0 amp charging cable versus Quick Charge 2.0. You'll only get standard wireless charging speeds which are pretty darn slow for larger capacity batteries (e.g., Note 7, S7 Edge).
