My Droid DNA has Qi wireless charging issues. It sometimes works fine. Other times it connects and then loses the connection after a minute or 2 and never reconnects unless I pick it up and put it back on the charger.
I wasn't sure if it's my phone or if it's a rom issue because it used to work fine, but I've switched roms a few times since then. I'm kind of leaning towards a rom issue because I just flashed a new rom and now notice that for the first time ever after it loses the connection it may not reconnect after picking it up and putting it back down. Only a reboot will allow it to reconnect.
I have 2 Qi chargers (the Nokia's, which get great reviews) and it happens on both and it started happening on both right at the same time, so I know it's not the charger.
Does this happen to you as well? Do you have a fix?
Thanks!

What ROM are you running. I run stock I got tired of custom Roms. I just ordered the Nokia dt-900 from at&t for 25$ online I guess we will see how it goes when it gets here. Maybe try running stock or another ROM and see how it goes the ROM your currently on might not fully support it.

I have the Nokia as well. Only issue I have is it heats up the battery to where it'll stop charging.. usually while streaming to a media device tho. Generally a little warm after a charge when compared to usb.

Got mine today and I had very little heat the same heat you would get when you plug it into a wall.

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 used to have a samsung captivate that did the same thing, generally it is a thing you just have to deal with! It sucks, I know but sorry!

I turned it back on, kept driving, and then it turned off again. This is ridiculous. It never did this before.

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 have owned the phone for just over two weeks and recently it started doing this thing where it does not charge properly when the oem charger or any other samsung use chargers that I own are inserted.
Sometimes re-inserting the charger a bunch of times gets it going. Sometimes you insert the charger and it starts going, then flip flops back and forth between charging and not charging.
The first time this happened I had to let it die completely before it would take a charge.
This is extremely frustrating. Does anyone have any advice? Is this a software or hardware issue? I have cleaned out both the cords and the ports and I don't belive I would have damaged them in any way. Any advice would help.
Thank you.

Are you on a custom kernel? ROM? If stock then u might consider warranty replace.

If you jiggle the cable around, is there any sweet spot where it charges properly? My Thunderbolt does this too, and I found with mine if you force the cable towards one side it will always work.
I've had this happen to mine a few times as well. Would just stick somewhere and doesn't want to charge anymore. I saw a possible fix for it somewhere online, I believe they were talking about the S2 not charging, and he did some combination of pulling the battery out, plugging it in, then putting the battery back in and turning it on. I can't remember exactly but you might search it and see if you can find it. It fixed it for a lot of people, but it seems to be intermittent, and more than anything I've attributed it to the cord. It doesn't sit very well, and one of the times it happened, the plug wasn't all the way into the wall. I actually just had it happen this morning where I was stuck at 95 percent, and I just rebooted and now it's going back up again.
I also have issues where the screen goes black (SOD) and won't come back on without a battery pull. Again, very intermittent and I'm trying to pinpoint the cause, because it happened more often when I was on 240 DPI, and when I was messing with the kernel cpu. I'm actually underclocked now on Perseus to 1.3 on the 5g profile, and running smoothly ever since(2 full days of same setup and no issues)
The other variables I've noticed when I get the SOD, is it's usually when my battery is lower, and I might still have radios on, such as Bluetooth, but nothing paired.
Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Note 2
Yeah I think it might have something to do with the female end on the phone being so recessed from the plastic housing. Either way this is annoying me and I don't want my phone acting like this even if it is intermittent. I will start looking into a warranty replacement.
I bought the phone off contract, does anyone know if the return policy for an off contract phone is any different than the typical Verizon 14 days?

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.

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.

So I have received my Z Ultra. It's the lte version and for 7 days has worked great, the last couple of days is been doing weird things when on charge or after extended use.
I suspect this may be a heat issue. This is a stock ROM and has a basic setup. When is on charge things just don't work, first thing I noticed is the gesture typing doesn't work. I also noticed the touch screen was doing random touches when trying to type and opening random programs.
After several hours of continuous use on battery I get spontaneous shutdown and is very hard to restart.
Has anyone else experienced this? The phone is only 10 days old and am thinking of asking for a refund. Thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers.

Same with my unit. I got my XZU yesterday and am thoroughly testing it before the 7 days so I can still exchange it.
The problem I encounter
1. Sudden and random reboot of the phone after few minutes after being taken from the charger.
2. Once rebooted, the language setup screen is shown again asking me which language to use.
3. Display become less responsive.
