Has anyone picked it up or seen it (Not even sure Verizon has it) wondering if it adds thickness to the phone.

I was under the impression from the FCC images that the stock door had wireless charging abilities built in... Anyone know this for sure to be true?

I am sure that the phone already has the capability built in to the stock battery cover. I just wonder if the extended battery caver will have the same capability.
I did see on the Verizon site that the wireless charging pad is available. The cost is $69.99. Here is a link to the site.
I don't believe it does, there are a couple reviews where they tried different mats and no go.
Yeah it has been shown that it doesn't have wireless charging built in. Unless you need a special pad. Would wireless charging work through an otterbox case?

I heard it was for the antenna. I think the Thunderbolt had sorta the same back.

I was under the impression all of the crap on the cover was for wireless charging, according to FCC documents. Why it won't work though with wireless mats, who knows.

I can tell you this, my HTC rep told us it is an inductive back stock, but it is not. I have inductive backs in my inventory room for it and I have tried it on our mats without and it doesn't work. All the connections you guys see are for the antenna, just like in the Thunderbolt.
You have inductive backs for the rezound? Do they add bulk?

Does not seem to make the phone thicker but from the pics on this website it removes the Verizon 4G LTE logo and the Beats Audio logo as well.

THE BATTERY DOOR THAT COME WITH THE HTC REZOUND STOCK DOES NOT HAVE WIRELESS CHARGING BUILT IN!
Tested and disappointed.
im more interested in whether the inductive charging works with a case on like the otterbox commuter
what about wireless charging on a PowerMat? or do you have to buy the mat from HTC?
Called HTC - The stock back DOES NOT support Wireless Charging
So, in the most effective manner possible (aside from watching videos stating that the included back didn't work for wireless charging, of course) a quick call to HTC support verifies that the included back on the HTC Rezound does not support wireless inductive charging. You will have to purchase another back.
The only one I've found so far is the same one mentioned earlier in the thread over at shop HTCPedia.com

Bought the extended battery at the same time as the phone, tested- it does not support wireless charging.
HTC6245-WLDR is the Verizon part number
Looks like the "Wireless Charging Cover" for the Rezound is up on Verizon's site...

So, I was just reading on here about the mysterious four prongs under the camera behind the battery door and someone mentioned something about possibly being able to support NFC with a replacement battery door. So, I got to thinking and googled about it and I came across this over at Android Central:
http://www.androidcentral.com/htcs-ceo-says-lte-phones-coming-2011-will-support-nfc-too
I know its from Dec. but it still caught my eye.
So, does anyone know or think that it is possible to get NFC support on the TB with a software upgrade to 2.3 and a new battery door with the sensor?
Pretty sure the prongs are for inductive charging.

I agree with this...
I also agree; however, I'm unsure as to why there are 4 prongs for that... But well maybe there is some factor to inductive charging I'm missing. But I seriously doubt NFC will be supported regardless.

I just don't see the point in it. You wouldn't be able to really use it anywhere yet. Inductive charging would be neat if the back piece isn't any bigger than it currently is, or isn't much bigger I should say.
Well, looks like it is for the wireless charging:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?&action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47423
I would still like to have NFC support. Oh well. have to wait another 2yrs.
It can be done. But it's unlikely.
NFC can be super thin and connect via bluetooth. If it's built into the case and receives its power via the prongs, it could work. The prongs can be just for power purposes. Transfer of data from the device would work over BT.
I was looking into Kickstarter today and noticed a few wireless charging kits.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...r-free-positioning-wireless-char?ref=category
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/902270902/flexible-wireless-charger?ref=category
And I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to have this phone Wireless Charge. Also we use keycards at work for our doors and such and I was wondering if I put the copper cable circle under the top back cover would it mess up the radio connections? Anyone tried either have they worked?
Or does anyone know of a Wireless charging "case" I used the PowerMat for the og EVO but that's not an option for the EVO LTE

I did the wireless charging mod for the HTC Evo 4G. I looked it up for this phone but I haven't done it yet. When I did the mod to my other phone, there was no noticeable difference in signal quality, battery life, or compass use.

Hello all,
The microUSB port on my Rezound has recently taken to working only at certain angles, so if I'm not paying attention when I plug it in, it sometimes doesn't charge properly. For that reason I started looking to buy the inductive charging plate, but it appears to be out of stock everywhere! Does anyone know of a place that might still be selling them, and/or would someone who has one be willing to sell it to me?
Thanks for any leads!

My bad! It is in stock at the Verizon online store. What threw me off was that it's not listed in the Rezound's accessories page for some reason.
Where you able to find the base charger anywhere? That's what I'm looking for now.

I believe any Qi supporting charging mat should work with it, the one test I saw used this one and it's Qi I believe - http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-WCP-700
Correct, any standard Qi charger should work. The one I bought is the Nokia DT-900 wireless charging plate, which has worked perfectly for me and is generally less expensive than the LG plate that Verizon officially endorses for the Rezound.
Any one try this with a custom ROM and kernel? I mean it should work, just wondering if it didn't. Thinking of getting one, but don't want to buy if I cannot use AOSP ROMs.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a car dock for my Nexus 6 similar to the pro clip or this fix2car mount http://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/f...on-mount-dash-mount-with-usb-car-charger.html[1]
Basically my criteria are that I want to be able to take the phone in and out of the mount without having to attach the USB cable after. I want the USB cable to be fixed and the phone simply slides in to it.
The pro clip would cost me 150$+ and the fix2car one I linked would run me close to 70$. I'm looking for something about half that price.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks
0 replies on XDA and on reddit, something tells me i'm about to drop a hundred bucks on a car mount... AGAIN!
PSA to anyone thinking about it: DO NOT get the airdock 2, it's a piece of poop and the phone falls off constantly.
If you must have the fixed plug, you could hack one in place with some JB Weld. A lot of guys did just that back in the "old" days.
Or suguru, that stuff works great for something like this. BTW, my airdock works great.

If you would like to charge your phone in a car dock without having to attach USB each time why don't you get the QI charging dock? It is about $35-$40 here in US, probably about same in UK. And will work with non-bulky case.

welllllllll the reason why im trying to avoid a QI charging dock (which btw is not a make or model but the technology, can you specify which model you're referring to?) is because i bought this neato quick charge usb lighter thingy and i'd like to be able to use quick charge..... wireless QI charging is pretty slow and when having the screen on, and steaming music, and using maps for nav, it doesn't actually gain any charge!

the problem is that QI will bottleneck your charging. using a quickcharge usb lighter thing will work via a cable but not through QI!
QI will support up to 15 watts of charging in the future, it was actually announced like a couple of weeks ago or something, so future models will support quick charging
I have quick charger at work and at home. In the car I need the dock I can use with minimum effort and without connecting/disconnecting USB frequently

Curious to know if you got the holder yet?
From the pictures on the site, it appears that one of the claws on the top lands directly on the power and/or volume buttons.
Would like to know if it interferes with proper operation?

it can if you have it completely tightened down, but you would not be able to pull the phone in and out if it was tightened down. the way i have it now is the clamp holds on to the lip of the phone but not so tightly that I can't easily put the phone in and out of the dock. The clamp does not press on the buttons, this way.
I just bought an OEM Verizon Qi charging phone back, and two different Qi chargers. All sourced from Amazon, and listed as their best sellers.
Neither would connect to the phone and provide wireless charging. I am RMA-ing the new phone back to rule it out.
Could being on a custom ROM be interfering? I am on SkyDragon 4.0. I don't want to bother the dev on it, if it is a hardware problem.
Anyone else have a similar configuration that worked?

as far as i know, there is no "oem" charging backs available. you can buy an aftermarket sticker to make it work though.
anyways, the sticker should have 4 contact points, not 2. if you have that, the only way to properly verify its working is to put stock back on.
yes, it should work on SD, but to rma a device, without verifying the issue on the clean stock it was intended to run on is just not smart.
Yep, my back has four contacts, to match the internal contacts on teh phone.
it is branded LG and "Verizon 4G LTE", same as my original, hence why I referred to it as OEM.
I believe they made them standard for sale in Rest of World and optional for the US.
It is hard for me to believe that the charging on those two pins would be disabled in software, but considering the ridiculousness of US carriers, I put nothing past them. Which is why I wanted to know if anyone had one that worked.
I didn't RMA the phone, just the 4-pin optional Qi charging back plate. To call someone "not smart," when you clearly have no grasp of the facts...that's not smart.
I do know from experience that AOSP roms do break wireless charging, but SkyDragon is based off of stock, so it should work just fine.

i can only comment on what you post, and dont pretend to understand what you mean while vaguely explaining it.
what i perceive from your post appeared to be "not smart", and thats how i called it.
now that you have clarified, even returning the back plate before verifying the issue on clean stock, is not smart, but hey, its your time and money to do with as you wish.
good luck with that
Have you checked the other threads on this already?
There are only a few places to get the parts that enable wireless charging on the G3. As far as I know, the only official OEM part that verizon sells is the flip case. Any others are either the Sticker type, or an OEM part imported from europe, to get the correct 4 pin option, (Both at&t and korean variant parts will not work, as the 4 pins do not align correctly for the verizon phone.) and neither would have the verizon logo on it, unless it was an aftermarket mod from a third party, and I'd be a bit weary of those, personally. So I'm a little confused on the 4 pin, verizon logo part of your message. Still, if it is a correctly modified original part, with an aftermarket sticker attached on it, it should work on stock, and on most roms based of stock, like SD's ROM.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N29ECGE
Bought one from Amazon last week from a US seller who unfortunately doesn't seem to be listed anymore (sold out?). Back was OEM with only the LG logo, and had the Qi+NFC pins in the correct place for the VS985 (the AT&T/Asian models had their pins aligned slightly differently).
Works with my Qi charger fine, and I too am running SD 4.0, as I value battery life.

Thanks for those constructive posts. Good to know that any issues I may be having are likely hardware. That points me in a good direction.
I should be receiving the replacement back today, so I can see if the problem is my phone core or the accessories.
Yeah, it's weird that the phone back would have Verizon branding, especially if it isn't their part. I can't see an advantage to doing that. The silkscreen looks identical to the OEM back that shipped with the phone.
EDIT: Ah ha! Now I understand what happened. This is the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL9GWPY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01 I sort of blindly purchased, since it had a good rating. I now see that the seller has taken OEM backs and retrofitted them with a sticker! it's the same deal that you can do for six bucks, and not OEM. So, I am a stooge because I didn't read the fine print.
Amazon is not the place for popular items.

"Best sellers" on Amazon sometimes means "lots of victims".
A couple weeks ago I also search for a genuine LG/Verizon charging back, so that I wouldn't have to mess with a "stick-on" solution. While the items looked promising at first blush, a little research showed that there is no such device as a "genuine LG/Verizon charging back", despite what is obviously marked as such. The genuine charging back from Verizon is a clamshell-like cover, that apparently doesn't fit well with the usual belt clips. Life is like that.
Sadly, Amazon has become a haven for scammers offering counterfeit products of all types. A few months ago, I wanted to buy a power adapter for my Samsung tablet. The price on Samsung's site was $35; the price from all of the vendors on Amazon was $10, for devices clearly marked with the Samsung logo. However, reading the reviews showed that they were all cheap counterfeits that often failed in a month or two.
I have come to the point of only buying stuff on Amazon, that Amazon buys directly from the manufacturer. Ie, "sold by and ships from Amazon", not "sold by <whomever> and ships from Amazon".
As they say, "buyer beware".

Okay, now you do (grin).
Thanks, Dean. You're absolutely right.
I received the second replacement "wireless charging & NFC" cover, last night. Still doesn't work on my phone. But, it looks like a new Verizon cover, just one that had some yahoo replace the original NFC antenna with a cheap knockoff that purportedly would charge.
Ah, well, I got a new, unscratched G3 phone back plate and learned a lesson.
