I've made a quick DIY video for making a car wireless charger for qi devices. I have a Lumia 920, but the nokia qi wireless charger should work with other qi devices too.
For the video, just search for "DIY Nokia Wireless Car Charger Mod for Lumia 920" on youtube.

I'm a new member so I can't post links here. If you can post it, that'll be great.
Pretty cool...

Sweet accessory!
Out of all the DIY videos, this is the most informative, especially the description.

So, any idea if the DNA will fit and/or work in the new Nokia charging stand? Here's the LINK if you're interested.
Yes it will since it uses Qi standard. I ordered the flat one through verizon.

Not too concerned about whether it will charge or not, more worried about if the phone will physically fit since it looks like the stand has a hole cut out for the 920 to fit in.

The DNA should fit perfectly on the LG pad:
LG Pad:
6.29" x 3.54" x 0.39"
DNA:
5.52" x 2.78" x .38"

Can it charge through a case?

Yeah I have one works great just charges slower than if plugged in. It works with my case on too.
I use the Nokia stand one every night. It holds it just fine and charges great!

As title, i bought 2 touchstones for my DNA, but they are not working for my phone. No sight of being charged.....do i have to change some setting or it simply not working with DNA?
Thanks
Dennis
The palm touchstone charger will not work with the DNA because they are no Qi Standard. You will have to get either a LG or the Nokia ones.
They will not work becaude they are not qi.
What made you think they'd work in the first place?

Hey Guys -
I know the wireless charging will work because of the Qi standard, but will the phone stay put? Any impressions from those who own it would be appreciated.
I could be wrong but I don't think its magnetic.. the back of the nexus is glass I think the orb is just a rubberized surface that "grab's" the back of the phone.. i.e. just friction holds it on... I think!

Nobody has the orb yet, I think. It just now became available, with shipping withing a week. Plus the shipping time. I ordered one the first day it was available, but don't expect it before the end of next week.
Ok, they are shipping them today. Won't be long before we find out.

I'm with you on this one, because I read it would be compatible with windows 8 and htc phones. And pictures look like the two circles on top are rubber. Just what it looks like to me
I have the touchstone charger and it has magnet in it.
from what I see it is held up 80% by friction, 20% by magnetic force.
Too bad the touchstone wont work on Droid DNA otherwise I think it would be a great charging dock.
Mine will be arriving tmrw (Friday)

Here is a pic of the rear case of the nexus 4. I see no magnets.

Magnet lightly holds. The surface of the orb is quite sticky and holds it just fine by itself - the magnet is obviously less apparent with a case on.
No case:

Definitely not strong enough to use as a car mount though.

Good to know.
Unfortunately, Play Store won't let me order one. My address is incorrectly input but I can't change it. Keep getting error messages.
Ty for the pics of this looks awesome will be ordering 1

Works like a charm! Together they're a thing of beauty.
So there is a magnet in it? I thought it would only be the anti-slip rubber that they try and sell for car dashboards. One question, does it work with the phone horizontal? That's something my Nokia DT-910 can't do.

Yes there is a magnet, yes it works with the phone in landscape.
However, it doesn't activate DreamScene or whatever it does with the N4 (also doesn't flip home screens to landscape like it does in car mode).

The dream mode is a 4.2 feature so I don't think anyone expected it to be on the DNA. And on stock there isn't landscape homedscreens. You'll either need a Rom or a 3rd party launcher for that.

Hey thought I'd share this with everyone...
Bought the powerbank named above from eBay for £15.50 and have to say it's a really good power bank for the cost!
Plus with such a large capacity it should last a few full charges... Plus it has two USB ports so can charge two devices at once which is a nice bonus...

That's handy when we're out traveling, and that is indeed very cheap.

It's a great powerbank. Charges devices pretty quick as well.

I have the NewNow 10000mah pack I got it from NewNow offical website for $24.99. It runs my HTC Sensation for 27 hours and if I charge from flat I get 6 charges from it. I am surprised it was not included here. It's got twin USB ports and a on off button. It's the model be-04 2 outputs one 5v-2a and 5v-1a , nice power bank, share it:
cheap powerbank are dangerous
Yeah, the power bank can work
NewNow External battery works with everything I have tested with it so far. Iphone. Damsung Galaxy, Plantronics Bluetooth headset. The shake thing is weird but it works well to not press an on off button.
So I'm renewing my search for a Qi car dock for my DNA since iBolt is clearly not following through with their promise to make one. I saw the solution below for the Nexus 5. My question is does the DNA have a magnetic back similar to the n5 that would stick to a magnetic charger such as the new Nexus charger.

A coworker of mine has one of these for his n5, the DNA does seems to take hold to some extent, but nothing substantial from my experience.
I've been keeping an eye out for something in this realm myself for quite some time now.
Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm gong to try a little something along the lines of what I linked to. I've purchased the Mountek nGroove Snap 2. I'm going to get a slim case for my phone and put one of the supplied magnetic plates on the case (not sticking anything permanent to my beautiful DNA!) and I'll check to see if Qi charging still works through all that.

Patience? I have a quote from a thread over on another popular Android site from way back in December of '12 that iBolt would be releasing a wireless dock in a "few months"! To me, a few doesn't equal 15
