Since installing the GDR3 preview my phone does some really strange things when sitting on the wireless charger. It's gotten so bad lately that I have to put it in vibrate mode at night to keep from waking me.
When I first set it on the charging plate, it wakes up and dings just like it always has. However, a short time after, it will start doing that same thing over and over again. The last few days I'll take a look at it when I get up in the morning and it's got multiple apps running. This morning it was the Pro camera and picture apps. Yesterday it was Facebook and email. The day before that it was multiple settings pages...
Weirdness abounds!
Anyone else experiencing this?

When you put it on the charger place it so that the bottom end where the speakers are line up with the edge of the charger where the LED is. Also make sure it is centered from side to side. The last update turned down the sensitivity of the NFC system which is what the charger and phone use to talk with each other. If it is not lined up just right the phone does not think it is on the charger correctly and is warning you. It also apparently will chime now when it reaches full charge. I have not found out how to turn that feature off. I assume you can't. I think this is limited to the AT&T release of Amber only.

Interesting...I have noticed that it doesn't do it on the charging plate I have in my office, only at home. Of course, I have a Fatboy charging pillow and if MS did make the signal weaker, then that may explain it. I'm going to pull the charging plate (standard Nokia) out of the Fatboy and try it tonight.
I'll report back, thanks.

But you are not running the official AT&T Amber update that was sent to our phones OTA. As I said I think this is just AT&T adding their usual BS to a ROM to make it theirs.
i'm also running GDR3 on my 920, but i've got this "problem" from the beginning with one of my chargers...
interesting, where did you get that information about the weaker NFC singal? And are you shure, it does'nt work the other way around? (that the charger sends the signal/power to activate the NFC chip/tag on the phone?! seems to make much more sense to me)
What wireless charger model? Some of wireless charger has NFC inside and can use it to launch the app.

I just picked up a wireless charging pad from my VZW store.
I love it!
I can now just set my phone on the nightstand next to the bed and not have to worry about plugging it in.
Thank you HTC for finally making this built in, and not an option!

I really like this idea. I've currently got a dock for my Rezound, and while it is more convenient than a loose cable most of the time, its still fan be a bit of a pain sometimes.

Did you get the LG one? If so, supposedly the thing beeps super loudly every time the charger turns on according to the Amazon.com reviews.
You are supposed to be able to take it apart and remove the speaker from the board.
I just ordered 2 for $35 ea from there... hoping for the best.

Great. I'm curious if the beep happens every time the charger kicks on (I believe it shuts off automatically when the phone is fully charged) or if it's just one "beep" when the phone is set down on it.
Either way, I'll probably be disconnecting the speaker since I will use one bedside (don't want to wake the sig other) and one at work and don't want to bother my coworkers either.

i was on the fence yesterday about getting it, and picked it up today and i am so glad i did. i especially like how firm of a grip it has. i still think i may pick up the energizer one from amazon so i can have one at home and one at the office
I'm thinking of picking up the LG pad (and ripping the speaker out) to put on my desk. I can't think of anything more convenient that just putting the phone down and it charging up. I'll probably continue to use a charger at night for now. I'm not really crazy about the LG pad, and you know there'll be more options out there soon. I'd rather hold off and get one that's maybe more stylish, or slimmer (and no beep!) before I invest in a second pad.
I'd like to see a USB powered pad if possible, so I could toss it in my bag and take it to work with me (no free outlets at my desk so I currently charge my phone through the USB port).
I just ordered the nokia charger from verizons website, it is compatible with DNA.
Long Term Use
I have read that wireless charging causes the battery to get warmer than corded charging. I wonder since this is a non-replaceable battery will that effect the overall life of the battery. Is anyone else worried about long term use of a charging pad. I love the idea but wonder if it will cause issues later on.

What I'm worried about is the constant charging and discharging that will happen when we're forced to charge it over night, at work, and then in the car.

I didn't see it answered anywhere, but if you go with the wireless charger will you be able to keep a slim case on it? I don't want to put an otterbox on it or anything since it is already a pretty big phone, but I would like to put one of those slim form-fitting cases on it.

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 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.
Hey guys,
I went out on a limb and bought the OWL car charger+dock for my DNA.
There is a bunch of discussion on the item here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029734 along with plenty of pictures.
I wanted to let you guys know some specifics for the DNA:
1. The phone fits perfectly into the clip. I don't have any cases, so I can't test that, but naked the phone fits like a glove and is very secure, even upside down.
2. Even the "second generation" of charger still does not put out enough juice for the DNA, even with the phone at idle.
I have emailed Moon and will update this thread when I hear back from him. I am thinking the problem might have something to do with the controller inside the charger. It switches to red (charging) momentarily when the phone is inserted, but then switches back to green (full).

Update 1: Moon has emailed back already to assure me that if the charger doesn't work, he will do what it takes to make it right.
I am hoping we can figure out a way to make the phone work in the charger, since I love the design and the convenience of Qi...
awesome! I have been wondering if it works for our phone since I saw the post you linked above about a week ago. I emailed moon about it, but he was unsure. I'm glad that someone confirmed what I have been wondering. Thanks again
I'm also looking forward to more info on this. Going through the website I couldn't quite follow if it worked or not.
Update 2:
The Qi charging coil built into the CarPad does work to charge the HTC DNA, unfortunately the coil is positioned about 0.5" too low for the phone.
Moon is working on an adjustment to the circuit board to re-position the charging coil.
Tonight I am going to take a look at temperatures during charging. With the screen turned on the battery did get 3-4°C warmer than normal on the Nokia Qi charger, but it was a pretty short charge. I am going to try leaving the screen turned on and the phone charging on the CarPad tonight for a couple of hours to see the charge rate and temperature change.
Other news:
There does not seem to be any scuffing, scratching, or denting of the phone's finish caused by inserting and removing from the clip. I had worried that the spring arms on the side might hurt the matte finish on the back of the phone, but so far I don't see any changes.
Thanks guys,
Ben
thanks for the update, keep us posted. in car qi charging is very interesting.

Thanks, I got a reply from Moon that he thinks the "autopad" will be the option for the DNA and he'll let me know when it is available. I will post info here if I hear back.
http://owlpad.net/owl-autopad/
Update 3:
Good news tonight. First, I've done a temperature test using the phone at room temperature. With navigation, LTE, and the screen constantly on the CarPad provides moderage charge (+200mAh) and does not cause excessively high heat (under 45°C). This is comparable with the 43°C I saw with the Nokia Qi charger while watching a Netflix Stream.
With the screen off the temperature is also pretty normal (35°C) so I think the coil is good.
Moon at Owl Chargers tells me that he may add a little to the coil to make it more consistent on the charging, and he is going to create a new PCB that has the coil positioned 1/2" higher so that it will line up properly with the DNA.
It sounds like this change could happen pretty quickly, but I will let you know when I have the test board in hand.
Thanks guys,
Ben
Please keep the updates coming, thanks!
Hey everyone, sorry for a few days of delay.
I talked to Moon this morning and he thinks they should have the test board created by the beginning of next week. He is moving the charging coil up to line up better with both the DNA and the Galaxy S3, and he is upgrading to a bigger charging coil to presumably give better charging efficiency.
I have removed the standard charging coil from the phone holding base and have been using it as a standard desktop charger for the last few days (with the Owl-Pad supplied AC Adapter). It has been working well for that as long as I position the phone properly, so with any luck the new board should fix the problem in the car mount.
I will let you guys know when the new part ships, and will be sure to take pictures of the new versus old board.
Thanks,
Ben
Thanks for the updates.
Sudo make me a sandwich.
Good news from Moon at OWL Pad today, the new circuit board is complete, his testing looks good, and he is shipping it out to me to test on the DNA tomorrow.
I will update everyone here with pictures once I have the new board and have been able to try it out, but Moon posted some initial tests on the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 which both charge at the higher position. Those tests looked good so I have to think it will work on the DNA as well.
Thanks all,
Ben

I'm not sure how he would do that. I'm sure he has a bunch of the units already boxed up from the last production run. It might be that he has to ship the old unit and the new board separate. Honestly, changing the board was incredibly easy. There are four screws and then the old board just lifts out and the new one drops in.
When the new one comes in I had planned on putting up pictures showing how to remove the old one and install the new one.

Looks like the set is for sale for the DNA on the web page now. Still sounds like he's waiting for test results but you go through with an order now if you want.
Hey Guys,
I got the unit in the mail when I got home from work (30 minutes ago).
So far everything looks GREAT!
I am running temperature and charging tests now, but the new coil position looks perfect, and I'm getting as much or possibly more current out of the OWL charger than I was getting out of the Nokia.
Tonight I should have pictures and screen shots available from my early tests, but I have to say that everything looks great so far.
I also want to add that the level of customer service and responsiveness from Moon at OWL charging was incredible. If I got service half as good from the companies I do business with in the US I would be amazed, and these folks are having to deal with me from the other side of the world. I have absolutely no ties with their company, and hadn't even spoken to them to ask if the charger worked for my phone before I ordered, but they went above and beyond any expectations in getting this charger working.
Once I have a few hours charging I can fill in the remaining details (temperatures, approximate charge time, etc), but right now I would say the newest version is a huge success!

Hi everyone,
New G3 user here, absolutely love this phone. I got a Qi charging sticker (http://amzn.com/B00MMRWS5E) and charger (http://amzn.com/B00F1SHFJA) on Amazon and both seem to work great, except for one minor hiccup: when my phones reaches 100%, the charging will shut off completely. It does not appear to trickle-charge; I put my phone on the charger at night and when I wake up my battery is often somewhere in the 90-99% range and the Battery panel in settings shows it as being off charge for sometimes several hours. I've searched high and low on these forums and through Google, and come up empty.
This issue isn't really a big deal, except that it messes with the Tasker profile I have set up to pair to my Bluetooth stereo when wireless charging (for music alarm). I realize there are ways to tweak the profile to work around this anomaly, but I'd really like it to work this way and I can't shake the idea that something is borked with my phone.
Anyone else experienced this? Is this standard behavior for this phone? My next thought is to try another wireless charger (the Tylt looks pretty cool) and see if that has any impact on it.

I have no issue, put the phone on the charger at night and in the morning it still shows charging at 100%.. I would suggest trying a different charger, I got generic one on ebay, sticker and pad cost a total of $8 and it works great.

I ordered this one http://amzn.com/B00JA7HNZO, it'll be here Monday and I'll report back.
I got three of these for $8 each with free prime shipping a while back. they work fine on my lg g3 and my wifes samsung gs4

Testing wired charging tonight to rule out if this problem happens with wireless-only charging or any charging method. I'm starting to suspect my qi charger more and more, but this will tell us for sure.
Turned out my original Qi charged was faulty - new charger came today and everything works great! Phone charges to 100% and trickle-charges from there, and best of all it doesn't bork up my Tasker profile. All is well in the world.
Case closed.
EDIT:
Here's the one I got that caused this problem: http://amzn.com/B00F1SHFJA
And here's the one that does not cause the problem: http://amzn.com/B00JA7HNZO

It definitely seemed to improve my performance for sure. Recieved it both on my s8+ and my wife's s8+
just manually checked and I am downloading the update now. Great news. Maybe the unknown sources bug will be fixed...

Just got the update, and letting it settle in a bit.
Did the update.. S8+ seems to be a little snappier..
I have two S8+ and both have experienced a couple of problems with this update. Both also have an Otterbox Defender case. Before the update, I could use the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Stand without any problem. Now, it stops charging after about 10 seconds. If I take the case off the phone, it will charge fine, but I shouldn't have to do that now if it worked fine prior to the update. The other problem is the charger that came with the phone consistently gives "slow charger connected" messages on the phone.
I've never had luck with otter box cases as far as charging is concerned

I agree. The added protection seems to prevent a strong enough "signal" (not sure if it is wave or what) from charging the devices I've had. I guess that is the one of the trade-offs.
Does this affect hotspot?
I've had two random reboots today since I upgraded last night

Lost hotspot after update.. But was able to reapply settings with no problem.
My S8+ did the update now wireless charging is not functional. I have the Samsung fast wireless charger and my S8+ is in an Otterbox Defender case. The wireless charging worked perfectly before the update. 50 to 100% in 45 minutes before the update. Now after the update wireless charging disables itself about 5 seconds into the charge. Doesn't matter what i do it wont charge. Will try to remove it from the case later today and see if that helps. Why would they break this?
You're not alone
I have also been having issues waking to a full charge in the morning after leaving on the Samsung wireless fast charger overnight. I place it on and see that I have connected and the screen goes off. I awake and the phone has less charge than when I placed it on there. Mine is also in a Defender case. The weird thing is that it is inconsistent. Will happen some nights, and not others. Completely hit or miss. Not sure if it is relating to applications running in the background, if they should be cleared out prior to charging overnight or if the phone is heating up and stops charging.
I have also seen where it displays a ridiculously long time to completely charge while plugged into a wall fast charger. Have seen where it will display 5+ hrs for a complete charge when it is at 58% and I am charging because I am going to an event and will not have access to a charger and don't need it going dead on me in that time frame.
I feel this has started ever since the most recent update.

Well an update for those interested. I removed the otterbox case and wireless charging worked again. I put the plastic surround case back on the phone and left the rubber skin off and wireless charging worked after fighting it on the dock for a bit. Placed the outer rubber skin back on and nothing, the wireless charging stopped working again.
This blows, whatever the last update did (changing the signal threshold for the wireless charging, maybe something with the batter security) Not sure those smarter then me might be able to figure it out, broke it.
This update has pretty much made the Otterbox Defender case useless if you intend to use the wireless charging feature. Or if you don't mind disassembling your phone every evening to use the wireless charging. I guess I could use the cable, but I wanted to avoid that, they wear badly.
Hope this helps someone out.
AQEF new bluetooth issues
After AQEF, my s8+ is royally wonky. Bluetooth is unusable because of disconnects for headsets, gearvr controller, you name it.... wish I was back on release rom.

That sounds more like an issue with the phone itself... gotta love that we haven't destroyed the warranty at all, so it's covered as a warranty thing...
