[Q] Wireless charging - AT&T LG Optimus G

I know this has been brought up before to the extent that the LGOG does not officially support wireless charging but has anyone been "bold" enough to disassemble their LGOG to see if charging pads are present in order to fit the phone with a Qi charging receiver? I have not been able to find a tear-down for the phone yet. The teard-own for the LG Nexus shows a thin receiver with a 4 pin pad and I was curious if this may also be present in the LGOG. Any thoughts?

Is the NFC Battery the Key to Wireless Charging?

Ok so I know many people are waiting on wireless charging. My question is, is wireless charging already here just sitting under our nose?
I haven't found any threads talking about this, so I apologize if I am wrong, but the NFC antennae is built into the battery. Could this also be the wireless charging ability unleashed by a powermat?
From: http://www.itproportal.com/2012/03/23/update-duracell-powermats-wicc-power-matters-alliance/
"Duracell Powermat's key message is that adding wireless charging is now easier than ever before. The wireless charging functionality could be built directly in the battery, as a WiCC card inserted by the manufacturer in the phone or available as an off the shelf after market accessory."
They have also shown their WICC card in the S2, so we know they are pals with Samsung. Also, Powermat has kept saying "coming this summer" for their new line of products. Perhaps the "delay" with the wireless charge kit for the S3 is actually a delay on the part of Powermat getting their new product line.
So I ask, once again...If you set the device on a powermat as is...does it charge?
No comments to this? I thought someone would at least have a powermat to squelch any thought of this I had.

That's a fantastic question and would love to know myself.
I suspect the two pins to the left of the battery are for the wireless expansion. You could be right through.
Any update on this?
These are going really CHEAP http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360471423929&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123
ADC
it could be on the optional back cover , the two pins are for the connections , also there are claims that it can charge further away then sticking it on the dock or charging mat , i find it quite pointless if charging has to stationary , i rather just plug it in into my charger
The two pins next to the battery seems a good shout. Means Samsung can sell compatibility battery doors.
Anyone got a schematic and know how to follow the PCB wiring to see if the pins feed the charging circuit?

No, NFC is not used for wireless battery charging.
It's already been discussed and modded using a Palm Touchstone here:

[VIDEO] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Wireless Charging - Qi Receiver

This is one of several Qi receivers on the market. I got it for 16 dollars shipped and waited a couple of weeks. As you'll notice it only has 2 prongs vs 3. This boxed was really taped up tight. I don't really get to the install until around 1:57.
I thought about getting several of these and testing them with all the charging pads I had, but I first wanted to see how popular the topic would be.
Here's a video of me comparing 5 different pads with the Galaxy S4.
If you want to know anything, just ask away.
So after a little use, this particular pad works, but it is the worst experience I've had based on use of the HTC Droid DNA, LG Optimus G Pro, GS3, GS4, and Note 2.
If others want to chime in on which model they purchased, feel free to.

I'm interested in knowing whether the back cover protrudes a bit with the receiver installed ?
You know, does it still stay completely flat or is there a small bump in the back ?
From what i saw in your video it doesn't seem to protrude but i thought I'd better ask just in case.
Does NFC still work with the Qi receiver installed ?
Also, where did you find the info on which of the two contacts you should connect your receiver on and do you know what the third one is for ?

Please don't cross post.
Check the wireless charging thread. It's huge. There are a couple review threads for particular receivers as well.
Note that you will have to solder wires to it and make the connection to the phone yourself. The extended battery is too far away from the wireless charger contacts to install it normally. You must install the receiver over the battery, not under it. The battery would block the charge signal even if the distance were not a problem.

Wireless charging for s7 and any other device

A French startup, called Energysquare, has created a new type of technology that can wireless charge almost any device. This includes devices that don't have wireless charging capabilities built-in, such as Apple's iPhone and iPad.
Energysquare consists of a charging pad and a sticker that is placed on the back of a device. The sticker sports two electrodes along with a Micro-USB, USB-C or Lightning connector that is plugged into the device's charging port.
Dont you already can buy these thing called QI charging pads? I know you have cases and stickers and kind work the same.

Qi Wireless Charging Receiver for Tab S3?

Has anybody found a good Qi wireless charging receiver for the Tab S3?
The S3 is a fairly large tablet with a USB-C connector which is (unfortunately) located slightly off center toward the right (top) edge where the power/volume buttons are placed. In order to use a Qi charging stand, it would be best if a Qi receiver pad could be placed on the back, slightly toward the left edge (near the pogo pin connector), so that the tablet could sit sideways on the charging stand with the power/volume buttons facing up.
This means we need a Qi receiver with a long USB-C connector. A typical Qi pad is about 8 cm long so we'd need one with about 7 cm of cable just to get the coil in the center of the Tab S3 and even then it might be too close to the top edge to align with a charging stand while the tablet is sideways. Most of the Qi receivers I've found only have about 2 cm of cable at most.
My Tab will sit vertically on my charging stands but it's not very stable and again, with the USB-C port off center, the coils might not align.
Alternatively, it might be possible to hack a standard Qi receiver to connect to the pogo pin connector on the side of the Tab S3.
[I've tried all sorts of tricks to resize this image down to something reasonable. None of them worked. Sorry.]
I have the same interest to setup QI wireless charging on my Galaxy Tab S4 tablet.
Have you made progress since that initial post ?
I have not found any useful relevant information to resolve this challenge!
Thanks.

LG V60 T-mobile magnetic car charging pad

I am trying to charge my LG v60 tmobile in my 2021 Prius prime. it has magnetic charging pad. the phone start charging but then the charger start flashing light in few seconds that phone is not charged. no matter how many time you tried it wont charge. I remove the cover and try every other way to charge but it wont charge.
took it to Toyota they tested and finally said its your phone the charging pad is fine.
anyone experiencing the same or have any idea please share. thank you
In my experience, this phone is picky about chargers - both wired and Qi. I found a great holder & wireless charger similar to this one, then paired it with a high-power 12v adapter. Unfortunately, neither of these are available any more. But you should be able to find similar products that, when combined, will give your V60 enough juice. I can't recall at the moment, but it may also be high-speed wireless charging -- something even harder to do with this phone.
You could also try removing your phone from the case if it's in one. A bare phone will get it into closer proximity with the charging coils.
I don't know how the magnetic charging pad is wired in your car, but perhaps there's a way to get it connected to a higher output 12v circuit. Check YouTube or the car forums, etc.

It charges at home with qi charger and wired both ways.
pits the car pad that stops charging.
I have tried everything with and without case the result is same.
toyota said the car pad gives as much juice it wants it’s interactive. But it’s your phone not syncing with pad.

Not syncing doesn't seem like much of an answer, and doesn't explain why it's not charging. Did you check the car forums?
