As per title really, does the Z2 come with the magnetic charging dock? I've not seen it advertised with it, but have watched two unboxing reviews on YouTube, and it was included with both.

But
did you get the noise cancellation headset too?
Can someone who already bought from Taiwanese sellers confirm whether they got the dock or not? And from which seller?

No. Just got a pair of generic earbuds in the box.
I don't listen to music on my phone usually anyway.
I'll still be carrying on with using my M7 till an exploit to root the Z2 without unlocking BL is available...don't wanna lose my app data and settings and all.
I bought from Taiwan and the magnetic dock was included with two attachments for different cases you may use
Taiwan release comes with charging dock + noise cancelling earphones for a limited time.
thats kind of a bummer. was looking forward to using the charging dock. any idea why only the Taiwanese release has this?

Just happened to find the Charging Cradle for Xperia Tablet Z in Stock at B & H Photo for a really good price! $35! I just ordered one!
I know this item is always sold out and it's usually not on sale! So get it while they have it in stock!
I'm not selling this or getting a cut, but I'm not sure if it's okay to pass along a good deal for my fellow XDA users!
Good deal! I found one (for 40 USD) on Newegg's ebay store. Ordered it Thursday, it came today. Sweet!

This thing charges the tablet with no need to open any cover right?
Any other charge that can do the same? Requirements are cheap and international shipping (ebay preferred).

But when?

Someone on the swedish forum Swedroid had asked Brodit about it. They answered that they're still waiting for the device, and after they get it it will take a couple of weeks to lanch it.
I got the same repy 3 weeks ago. I hope they'll get it quickly !
I have their passive model for the Z1. Works perfectly on the Z2.
What about the active one?

Haven't tried the active model but the passive one + a magnetic charging cable is much more convenient for installing and removing the phone.

I have the active holder and it works perfectly, only gripe is that I have to remove the cover to insert it, but it charges very quickly, in comparison to the desktop charger which seems to take all night to reach 80% this will charge fully within a hours journey.
Has anyone seen the regular wireless charging back covers for sale anywhere (not the QuickCircle cases)?
There is a rumor that US may not get the wireless charging cover built-in like other countries and will have to resort to buying the QuickCircle case if you wanted that feature. I really hate flip cases and would much rather just replace the original cover with the same type.
Perhaps any spares for other countries for sale? Have searched on eBay and as of this date not able to find any although the device is on sale in Korea already.
I've been searching around for LG G3 back cover parts, but I couldn't find any. Hopefully just swapping back covers will get you wireless charging!
I can't find anything online as well. Perhaps they might pop up when LG G3 gets released in the USA.
Or butcher a circle case? Yeah I'm waiting for eBay too.

Worst comes to worst that's what I'll have to do, but seeing as how the international variant has a wireless charging back cover I really can't see there NOT being replacement backs on eBay sooner or later (worst case I'll just call Samsung and order one directly if I have to). The only question is if there will be any modifications of the physical contacts on the US variants. We'll have to wait and see. The Verizon model is launching July 17 so we're not too long now.
I have the Korean variant - there's no wireless charging back. Is only on European and international versions.

Oh my mistake, I meant international. Fixed.
I can't wait for LG to release these back panels listed. Although we may have to import them because qi never seems to really make it over to the US in a big way like it does overseas.

Did I get that right: In die korean version, the qi-charging dock is included, but the G3-back-cover does not support qi-charging out of the box whereas in the european version the dock is not included, but the G3-back-cover supports wireless charging by default?
That sounds quite absurd...
No. Charging dock is not included in Korean version - just a stand.

As per the video below the guy shows and explains that the contacts between the European (international) version and Korean version are not only different in size but also positioning as well.
I wonder what this means for the US version. :/

Not good. But we'll get some compatible suport on ebay.
wow what an ass move by G3 to position the pins differently between the versions. but anyhow, like other members have suggested, just grab another cover with Qi charging tabs, and just place it in the original back cover and you're set to go. i rather be left with this option and have 3gb of ram than the European's 2GB counterpart.
It was because the Korean model has a tv antenna so they moved it in the other variants because they don't have one. I have the F400S and I'm sure they will release qi covers for it.

Looks like this should work on US models (except AT&T variant because they screwed everyone over and swapped to PMA instead of Qi charging).

I recently canceled my order of a Korean LG G3 that was going to come with an extra battery, a dock, and the tangle free headphones. I'm going to grab the AT&T version in 2 days. I very much so doubt the AT&T version will come with anything so I'd love to have the extra stuff.
Trouble is, the dock I found on eBay costs about $45 and the battery is about $20. The battery price isn't much but the dock is that much without the actual spare battery - a bit too expensive for my taste. Does anyone know where I can find a better deal on these accessories?
Thanks.

That's a link to the dock. The actual battery is easy to find, search up lg g3 battery and it should be there.
And AT&T is horrible. They literally include nothing with most phones. I've purchased three generations of galaxy notes from AT&T and none of them have come with headphones or anything. Oddly enough, the less expensive galaxy S series do come with headphones.

Thats why the Korean model is better, but I still have all of my accessories from it because I broke it. I have an AT&T model now, and I'm glad that I still have my accessories because people are overcharging for them online.
I love walking around with the Korean model and having the antennae out. LOL I get so many WTF looks
Just got my G3 from AT&T and it didn't come with anything but a USB cable and a wall socket. So much for that!
I'm quite keen to try out the headphones though, as I love the aspect of non-tangle haha

The price is a bit steep but I just might order it. I like that it's ultra slim (because of the battery cover replacement) and rubbery texture. It probably gives very little protection, but I'm mostly looking for better grip.

Then when you click the "compatibility tab" at the it says is LG G3. I'm not even sure these people even know that there exist two variations of this phone, both with different pin configurations.

Well you have the F400K so the pin configuration is different from the US/ rest of the world models. The case review would be nice but ad far as functionality goes it's limited to the Korean one.

Now this is exactly the case i want for my phone! I will be buying this and i really hope it works with the att for qi charging...att may have ****ed many people over with powermat!
Pretty sure I'm gonna snag one if its functionality is not hindered in the AT&T version. I just ordered a few cases off amazon.com as well to test out, if they're not up to par - then I'll wait on this. I really like the idea behind the case, despite the price.
I'm all over this as well. I love the Slim Guard.
