My charging pad is the LG WCP-300, $39.99 from Verizon (on-line and at some of the stores) it worked really well with my Nexus 4 & Galaxy S4 for about 8 months. I've only used it with the Note 3 for a couple of days, but so far, so good.
The Nexus 4 had a built in wireless receiver & I used the OEM charging back for the S4. With the Note 3 I have a Qi receiver insert made by Docooler that I bought on Amazon for $11.98 including shipping. It fits well, it only makes a slight bulge inside the stock back cover.

Two more things
When you buy the WCP-300 charger from Verizon it includes the USB cable and power transformer. I think the ones on Amazon don't, plus they cost more.
You can also get a car mount for this one on eBay, the Smart fit2.

I'm using the Tylt Vu and the Samsung OEM back. I purchased 2 from T-Mobile site with the 30% off coupon. Really like the look and ease of charging although a little expensive with this setup. I really wanted the upright positioning especially for easily checking notifications on my nightstand and desk. They come with the wall charger and a round (not microusb) jack.
Have Verizon back cover on order (in stock) and Samsung charging pad (in stock) on order from Samsung. If I remember I'll post some statistics here with charging times. With the regular OEM wired charger I get a full charge from about 1% to 100% in 2 hrs 10 min.

Receiver doesn't matter for wireless charging, they all output way more than your phone can take. The amount your phone takes in is less than 1amp and its locked in the kernel still.

Nokia DT-900 on my Nexus 7.
It was only like $26 after taxes and free shipping from the AT&T online website.
Really nice, charges exactly how I need it to, and is just a great buy in my opinion.
Just got the Samsung pad and back. Will let you know how it goes.

It's the Nokia DT-900 or 910 whichever one. One is a pad and the other is a stand. I have the pad myself. Works really well. The pad is under $50 new on Amazon.

I have the Nokia/Fatboy that works great. If you are looking for a low priced one VZW just got in new LG chargers. I tried one out the other day and it charged just fine. They retail at $39.99 or $29.99 if you have a corporate discount on your plan.

Economical? Probably the Nokia DT-900. Best? The Google Nexus Orb. I have both.
Nokia DT-900 (fatboy)
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Slim profile
- Small charging indicator LED
Cons:
- Massive power brick
- Uses a proprietary cable between the brick and the pad. I've been searching for a replacement for months unsuccessfully after my cat chewed the wire.
- The rounded back of the DNA causes the phone to wobble a little on the pad. Not a issue if you have the fatboy pillow (same charger)
Google Nexus Orb (manufactured by LG)
Pros:
- props the phone up making it ideal for desk use
- grippy surface holds phone securely on the pad in any orientation
- uses standard micro-USB cable allowing for very easy replacement of cable / power transformer
Cons:
- Most expensive
- leaves a ring mark on the rear of the phone. Does mostly clean off but may be permanent after prolonged use (approx. 2 months here and very slight permanent wear)
- no charging indicator (the phone lights up though so not really an issue)
Both charge at the same rate, both warm the phone a bit like any charging. I much prefer the Orb for it's use of microUSB, and the fact that it acts like a stand. The difference though is $30 so if you're tight on money the Nokia is a perfect solution.
Okay, this is a weird one. When charging my phone, almost every single time, it will charge up to about 76-83%, and then stop. However, if I unplug it and then plug it back in it will resume charging like normal up to 100%. I mean this is bizarre...is it a battery calibration issue, perhaps?
Edit: Happens on any/every ROM I use.

You mean the usb box from ur galaxy s2.... If so each box may have a different output for each phone..... For instance when i use my daughters charger it takes 5 times longer to charge my og than the og charger so that may be ur problem.
Via LG OG running Rootbox 4.2.2
Had the same thing too and as described in the post above it is in fact due to the output. Just compared my old but still kicking s2 and my og charger and the og charger has a much greater output.
Yeah lgog charger is 5v 1.2a. It's very nice. We also gotta qualcomm technology called quick charge or something like that that enables the battery to charge substantially faster without damaging itself. It's a logic chip in the phone and improved battery chemistry from LG. Asian manufacturers have a huge portfolio of products and are weirdly driven to diversify in all directions. LG has their own chemical company, and that's who makes our pimp batteries. I stuck with HTC for 7 years, but if LG flagship phones continue to have decent development then I'll probably stick with LG for a while. It's cool that they manufactured the entire phone from scratch except the SoC, no other company can really say that besides Samsung. And they're both Korean companies. Btw, south Korea is a great place to vacation.

It looks as though I need to pay attention a bit more. I was using the LG wall charger, however, I wasn't using the right cable. I was using my Samsung cable. The Samsung cable is longer and reaches to where I can charge and play with the phone at night. I'll try the cable it actually came with and see if it continues to pull the same trick. The LG cable is definitely thicker.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I totally agree with you on the length of the cable and is why I was also using the s2 charger as well. If you need the extra length you can probably get by using an s3 charger. I steal my girlfriend's s3 charger from time to time just because I want a little more mobility than two feet and it charges the phone just fine with very similar output ratings....... 1.0 amps compared to 1.2 amps of the og charger.
I've had something similar happen recently. The phone will either charge extremely fast or extremely slow. I usually charge my phone at about 30% and sometimes it will charge fully in about 90 minutes and others it will take up to 8 hours, with the slowest part being in that 73-87% range you describe. I always use the LG charger and cable because its the only one that I have. I'm running code fire's CFX ROM if that helps anyone out.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
That's some weird stuff. I'm getting good performance right now using the stock cable with a belkin 1A cigarette lighter to USB adapter. But last week I grabbed a cheapo Chinese retractable cable that was in my wife's car and plugged it into the built in USB port in the car (don't know what it's rated output is) and the battery drained VERY fast... Roughly one percent every minute or 2. Freaked me out... Certainly appears to me this phone is temperamental about cables...

yeah had the same probably with a car charger with my og and to think about it my s2 as well, I travel a lot for my job and constantly use gps while traveling and I've found that a lot of those cheapo car chargers you pick up from gas stations may charge the phones while inactive don't really charge them very well while in use. I could watch my battery percent fall while charger on both my s2 and og while using navigation, ended up finding a high output charger at a truck stop with a cord the size of a cb radio lol and havent haven't had any issue with it since. This is with stock and custom rom, even reverted back to stock a couple times to make sure that it wasn't the custom firmware that was causing the issue. Guess the makers of cheap chargers haven't caught up with the big batteries todays smart phones pack, should of hold on to my bag phone charger a little longer lol!!

Agreed. In my case the phone was discharging rapidly while not in use. Screen off. I'm thinking the plug on that cheap cable was shorting a couple pins on the plug..

That's on thing i do miss about having a removable battery though, is the fact that a large part of my job is in very dusty dirty environments ....i.e. steel, aluminum mills and other high temp dusty and dirty as hell places is that i could remove my battery and feel safe while using a little contact cleaner. Now og days i play it safe with air. But either way i don't think that has anything to do with the use of cheap chargers lol. Best bet would be to stick with oem or pay the extra price tag for those high out put chargers that att offer.
Between all the lower price knock offs ( $10 Fakes) available on the Internet which reportedly don't provide the full 2.0 mAh of the original AC charger, and the high price of the genuine one at $40................... it might be best to look for brand name 3rd party manufacturers.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good AC charger that can offer 2mAh?
I found one by MOMAX.. They are a recognized brand, thus have a reputation and brand equity to protect, so should provide a better product than fake named knock-offs.
Has anyone tried this one, or MOMAX products in general?

Or has one that has been tested to provide the same power as the original charger?

I actually have this one as well for the car. Puts out 2.1a so it charges the phone while GPS, Bluetooth is connected, and music streaming. Anything less than 2.1a and it wont be able to keep up the charge.
I bought a slightly used nexus 6 that didn't come with the original motorola turbo charger.
What charger is better?
The samsung galaxy note 4 orginal charger or htc's quickcharger?
Either should work fine. I sometimes use my note 4 charger on my nexus 6 and it works just as good as my OEM turbo charger.

I looked for the specs of both chargers and it seems that the Samsung charger only has the 9v/1.67A charging option. The htc charger has that plus the 12v/1.25A.

That's a great unit, if you don't mind losing QuickCharge. The multiport ones like that are really useful for people with a few devices around or just to share plugs with visitors as well.
I only mention QC as the OP mentioned 2 different QC chargers, so it seems like an important feature to them.

Yeah, I couldn't go without quick charge with this phone.
If you watch slickdeals, they have quick charge chargers pop up fairly often for ~$9. Aukey and Tronsmart seem to appear the most. I have many of these off brand quick chargers and haven't had a problem with any of them.

For a regular charger, it's pretty fast. I get 1% about every 1min and 15 seconds. That's pretty fast for a 'regular' charger.
I havent been able to find one that charges as quickly as my ZeroLemon Quick Charger.
Im using the QuickCharge one that came with it, though I bought some Qi Chargers. In the car Im using the Tylt Vu I think its called.
As we all know, the LG V10 is an amazing device. One that does not have wireless charging out of the box. I have seen cars starting to integrate wireless charging into their cabins so I'm baffled why a lot of devices are not Qi charging capable as a standard. That's neither here nor there.
I had a G3 that I had gotten a wireless charging back for and I loved it. I also ordered one from Amazon for my V10 but it didn't clip on correctly so I sent it back. I then found the sticker on Wish (www.wish.com) for $4 including the $1 shipping. I thought this was a great deal. I removed the original NFC sticker and affixed the Qi/NFC sticker promptly on its arrival. The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will be on the base overnight and will charge from 15% to 30%. Sometimes it refuses to connect. I even tried the Samsung Quick Qi charger at the Verizon store with no success. The other night I had placed it on the base and it connected and shortly after it started playing music from the the LG music app.
My question is are all the stickers basically the same or does the name and price suggest the quality? What about charging bases? I'm hesitant to say that it is the base. I am also very picky as to which style I'd like vs cost. I will include the Amazon listing of the one I use.

I've never found wireless charging to be stellar. In fact, more often than not the time required to recharge isn't worth it. I just stick with a rapid charger. :/ I would love to see some reliable rapid wireless charging some day.
I know people at a Verizon store and they gave me another stock battery cover. I am no longer using the wireless charging. It's convenient for night time. While I'm asleep. No big. I can live without it.
