Anyone know if the LG WCP-700 Charging pad was recalled? I called Verizon about the charging issue I'm having, (starting them stopping randomly) I have tried every different position and nothing seems to help, When I talked to verizon the told me they no longer carry it.
I think they are ramping down/stopping production of it, but its not being recalled.

A little off topic but you might try another charging pad to see if it is your phone. Some are losing wireless charging capabilty altogether and phones are getting replaced.

I haven't heard of a recall, but I can tell you I am aware of 2 incidents where this charger severely overheated phones. When I returned mine to get the Nokia charger, they said they have gotten a lot of them returned.

buy it on amazon
I just bought one recently on amazon (2 day prime shipping). It came in perfect condition and works awesome with the nexus 4. It gets a little warm but thats what happens in the induction process. The rubberized texture is perfect for the crazy slippery glass back.
I dont see any issues with it.

It was a problem for me. It would take about 5 hours to charge the phone to 99% and just slightly warm, then the temp goes up and up and up till phone kicked out at 130 degrees and turned off red hot. Never would hit 100% and kick out. I took it back and Verizon rep said they are all coming back when using with DNA. I don't think its compatible with DNA, but everyone on here argues that it is. Bottom line. Doesn't work properly and will severly shorten phone and battery life.

Charges the phone fast!
Sent from my DROID DNA
Got the DNA and wcp700 this past weekend
Charged completely (slight warmth)
Does take about 3-4 hours to charge (haven't really paid close attention on exact time)
It appears they are phasing it out, since folks are having a hard time locating them to purchase. I have the LG WCP-700 and it works fine with my DNA. Every night I charge it up and it is full in the morning with normal temperature...~80°. I can place it anywhere on the plate and it will detect and start to charge. No complaints here.
I'm starting to have issues with my phone. My fat boy charges for about 30 secs then drops off. I then tried my jbl power up speaker and same problem it's my dna. I might have to put in for a replacement.

Who has this and how does it work with the DNA? I read on Amazon that it has a really loud beep when you place it down or pick it up, or if it reaches full charge, etc. Another reviewer said they simply opened it up and pulled out the speaker.
So I do have this. Works great.
Oddly enough if the phone was on vibrate I don't remember it beeping.

I could only take a couple nights of being woken up by the beep before I ripped into it. Here's a thread on how to "disable" the speaker.

I have it. It only beeps when you first lay the phone on the pad. Love the convenience and mine is sitting on my nightstand, so the initial beep doesn't bother me since I'm obviously awake (I hope) when I place it on the pad.
I have it as well. It makes a loud beep when you put the phone down, and will beep if the phone isn't correctly placed. I have it on my bed stand and I have never been woken up by it beeping when it fully charges.
I just ordered one on amazon because they are 39+shipping rather than 79+shipping...
Honestly, this phone is perfect in every single way besides sense isn't my favorite Rom and the battery life. I have to charge it once during the day in addition to charging it overnight. Which is why I ordered this charging pad so I can just set it on that when I'm at home doing work or what have you.

they are only $49.99 at VZW. If you have a corporate discount, it brings it down to $37.50. I went this way, no waiting and much easier for warranty issues.

Typical of wireless charging. It charges no faster than USB.
I think the heat may come from the wireless charging coil.
I ordered one last week for $34 shipped from Amazon. Got it Friday. Works like a charm and don't think it's that loud either
Not an iPhone.....
My concern is that the heat will hurt the life of the device.
Unfortunately the heat comes with the territory.
LG Charging Pad
I bought this charger and have noticed a problem that seems like it could be a defect. When I place the phone on the pad it beeps (no big deal). After a while when the phone gets to a full charge the phone beeps (no big deal). What I don't like is that the phone does not actually ever get to a "full" charge. On the pad I have, it seem to only get to about 99 percent and then stop charging only to start again after a few seconds. Almost every time the charging stops and starts, the screen lights up and whenever the charging kicks on again it does the glorious beep. I read this from one other person on a forum so I hope this is just a defective unit. Can anyone tell me if when using this charger, your phone charge light ever turns green? When using this pad, my phone's charge light never turns green and I'm concerned that by using this my phone is getting a lot of extra wear and tear from the on/off of screen and charging. I already contacted the vendor and I think I'm going to do an exchange. If the second one has this behavior, i'm probably just going to scrap it for the Nokia even though they're more expensive. It would seem you get what you pay for I guess and i'd rather not take a chance...

Was your phone hot or just the charger? I'm curiuos to as to what the long term affect is going to be but its a risk I'm willing to take for the convience of wireless charging. I'm still waiting to see if it will charge through an Otterbox.

For me, its just the phone.
If I use a wireless charging pad at my office, is it going to hurt the battery in any way to be constantly picking up the phone and putting it back down on the charging pad, i.e. constant short charging periods? Will it effect long term battery life or possible just throw off the calibration?

I just started a new thread in Q/A on this very question.
---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------
I ordered the Nokia charger from Verizon Online directly. I have a 35% discount so it was $35ish shipped. Most should have a Verizon discount so check that before ordering only from Amazon.
I plugged my phone in the car charger earlier and noted I had 49% battery left. I drove an hour and when I took the phone off the charger it was turned off. I'm not rooted or anything. This is my first Android phone. Would Android be considered less stable than ios?(which is what I've used for years)

That same problems happens to me when i unplug it or even just wake it up from sleep. It doesnt do it too often like it did when i first got it but im sure it will be fixed with a software update. All you gotta do is restart the phone hold down the power and down button ( on the volume rocker)
Just happened again. Plugged in car charger and it powered down. WTF is this?

I think the problem may be with the app HD Widgets. I installed it last night and the problem started today. According to one review I read, it was causing some guy to have random reboots. The developer responded that it is a bug in Android OS, BUT they released a fix in today's update anyway. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I've had it happen twice to me. I got the feeling it was a software conflict type issue.

I think it is hd widget too. I had that on my nexus 7 and it randomly shut off. I deleted it and it hasn't happened again.

I won't pretend to know what the actual problem is but I'm assuming it's software related, but this thing does strange things when connected to a car charger.
Same thing happened to me twice while it was sitting in my pocket.
Pulled it out and it was off. It would not turn back on unless I held the down volume button and power button. My phone is completely stock and I do not have HD widgets.
Twice for me. I'm rooted and unlocked.

I'm on The Base .7.1 and i've had my phone reboot on it's own a few times (on .5 and .7 it did this as well). it doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing...i can be taking a phone call or answering a text, it can be sitting in my pocket or playing chess.
the only thing that is constant is that AFTER the reboot, some application or other has updated itself via Google Play. perhaps there is some conflict occurring when application updates are presented to the Google Play app? could just be coincidence, but it has self-rebooted many times now and every time it comes back up there is a newly applied update to some installed application.
Had a Samsung Captivate that did that, called "sleep death" and was frequent. ATT swapped it out saying there was a bad batch and it never happened again.
My LGOG did it once the other night; well it did a full reboot by itself. If it becomes an issue I'll take it up w/ ATT again.
Had it happen twice in the past 2 days just in my pocket. Starting to get a bit frustrated with this phone.
Had this happen to me at least twice. Funny thing is the phone died in the same general geographic area each time.
Both times I had over 65 or 75% battery left and I was driving a few hundred miles across areas with bad cell reception. on the way back from my trip I actually chanced to look at the phone because I half expected it to be off due to having experienced the unintended power down before. Phone was NOT plugged into a charger. In the past, driving through these areas would put certain phones into power saving mode where cell function shuts down or phone. I think it's related to driving without reception or just no reception.
Normally I can leave this phone sitting and it stays on and wakes up without a fight.
Called AT&T, they are trying to run me through the whole hard reset/phone swap process.
Wanting something a bit stronger, I got LG's number. They said I was the first person to report the issue.
Both companies suggested turning the device off and charging to 100%, although they were both general suggestions (still, I hadn't tried that). The LG tech actually suggested that I take the battery out and... Well I didn't let that go any further.
LG said I could send my device to them instead of AT&T, if I wanted. They don't presend phones so you'll be SOL for "5-7 days" but I feel better that they would actually look at it instead of just throwing it in a "refurb" pile when the screen turns on.
Anyway, call them! Press 1 for English, 1 for Mobiles, I got an answer in 3 seconds. At least help put this on their radar. 800-793-8896.
of those of us who are experiencing random reboots...
are you rooted/unlocked?
are you on the Stock ROM or on The Base?
if The Base, which version? .5 or .73
i am rooted/unlocked running .73

Stock.
Has anyone else had problems with wireless charging? My phone will connect then immediately disconnect. Started with the LG charger that I got from the store, and I thought it was just the charger so I ordered a Nokia one and it does the same exact thing leading me to believe it's the phone and not the chargers.
I plan on going into the store, but wanted to see if there was anyone else that has experienced this.

Well, thought it might be a recovery, kernel, or Rom issue, but after changing all of those I've seen no difference, although now it flat out doesn't work. Tomorrow is my one day off, so I will be going to the store to figure it out.

I have had DNA since release day, not rooted. Have LG charging pad and nokia 900 pad. Initially no issues with wireless charging but on friday lost this capability completely for no apparent reason (no new apps or drops, etc). Still can charge via usb cable fine. Spoke with HTC and Verizon, and I was the first person to report this issue. Per HTC this "must be" a hardware defect, not easily fixable, and new phone sent out. Should get tomorrow and I think HTC is going to look at my device. They seemed surprised by this problem. So you are not alone.
I have been holding off on getting a wireless charger to see what people are reporting but now im thinking i should of got it right with my phone to see if i also would have similar issues and if so i could of changed out my phone to a brand new one rather a refurb. I will follow this post to see if more people report the same issue
I can report that my DNA has done all it's charging(except when plugged in for file transfer/unlock/adb commands) on a Nokia Fatboy Pillow and it's freaking great. Does it charge slower? Yes. Is it worth it for the convenience? Yep, no question about it.
I ordered one of these on there black Friday deal and just received it today. I actually think it will work quite well. Doesn't suction to the back of my phone case as well as I would have hoped but think it will be fine. Issue I'm having is it isn't charging my phone. I plug it in and turn it on and it will show it is charging the phone for a second or 2 and then go away. Anyone else get that?

Try it without a case. I don't think its meant to be used with a case or a very slim case.
I did that. Still nothing. Works fine when plugged into my n9.

Seeing the same thing. Charges N7 2012, N7 2013, and N7 LTE 2013. When I plug it into the 6 and push the button on the battery, it charges for about 1 second, and stops.

Mine does the same thing. Although, i noticed it stayed charging a little longer when the phone was more charged?
Edit: confirmed. I'm actually writing this on my nexus 6 and at 95% I've got the pop'n plugged in. Works like a charm. Too bad I usually want to use it when my phone is dead. Which it doesn't.
I even plugged it in while the phone was off, and I'd initially get the charging black screen, but then nothing. So is it a hardware block of some sort?

It did not. I tested further like the other poster and it seemed like if my battery was above ~50% both of them would charge my phone. Anything less then that would stop right away. I wonder if it has anything to do with the turbo charging. Does the phone try to draw to much current when the battery is low and that shuts it off the pop'n?
Hello XDA,
My G3 was broken and I have been using G5 for almost 2 months.
A genuine battery was bundled when I bought the phone, so I have a spare one in case one of them is used up.
The battery life of my phone is not bad that I think I only swapped the battery for about 10 times? But yesterday, after I swapped it and turned it on, “Invalid battery...” showed up after maybe 30 seconds.
I came across this issue in G3 too, but it would be okay after a couple of reboot. However, it happens everytime I boot it up.
Habe anyone came across this issue and somehow has a fix for this?
Thanks in advance!

Try cleaning the contacts of the battery with a piece of cloth, making sure debris or any other particle wasn't on it. If you don't know what contacts are, they are the gold strips on top of the battery. Also clean the pins that the contacts press against. Maybe that will work?
Hello, thanks for your reply!
However, this doesn’t work for me..
I noticed a weird thing that the % indicated on my phone is 50% with the questioned battery.
I didn’t notice it several days before. But before pitting it in this time, it was fully charged with the LG batteey charger.
I am not going to play with the battery anymore. I will bring it to LG and seek for replacement. Let see what is their comment on this issue.
