I purchased a OEM back without any NFC or qi and a white OEM back with the NFC and qi. I'm going to remove it and make it work on the black one since I have a black G3. Both back covers will be here by Saturday so I will post pictures as I go. It may not be the cheapest or most effective way to get qi charging but it will get the job done. I just hate the ATT back with the death star on the back and I wanted to get a new one so I figured why not get qi as well.
(Pictures and walkthrough coming soon)
Let me know if anyone has suggestions or has tried this already.

Where did you buy it? I just did a cursory search on Amazon with no luck. I'm looking for some way to get QI charging without having to go the AT&T powermat quicksilver case route (what the hell were they thinking going powermat).
Yes I have done this. Ripped off the coil from the quick circle case and stuck unto my Korean back that didn't have wireless charging. Works great!

I purchased them both off ebay. It wasn't cheap as a I said 27.99 for the black back cover w/o nfc or qi ( I just hate the carrier logo) and $40 for the NFC/Qi back cover in white. Both are USA sellers which is good.
Here are the links
Qi/NFC back (only available in white currently): http://www.ebay.com/itm/151340368484?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I just ordered what I think is an OEM back from eBay and was planning on pulling the coil and putting in my AT&T back. How easy was it to pull? Did you have to heat it up? Any advice?
I'm a bit of a bull in the China shop and have no subtlety at all and it still worked out fine as the sticker sticks quite well. I used tweezers to remove it and then removed the one from the original with tweezers. Then stuck it on and it looks ok. Let me get a photo of the finished product and I'll post later.

Get the ones that have three coils in them e.g. the Tylt Vu. They're more expensive but work well. I'd say the problematic ones are those with only one coil.

Nope, no issue at all. You need to position the phone at exactly the right spot, but as the charger is quite small is easy to find it. Then it charges with no interruption and tells you when it's full.
I will probably be doing exactly the same thing
Possible to buy something like a wireless receiver for LG G3, there are tons of them for Samsung S5,Note 3 etc. That would be easier no?

Clove (in the UK) are doing a deal where you get the WCD-100 free when you pre-order the G3, and since their price is only £20 (US$34) more than Amazon UK are doing it for that seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. The RRP for the WCD-100 is £59.99 (US$102) here, so you're effectively saving £40 (US$68)
Can't comment on the charging speed, but if it's like the other wireless charging "solutions" then it'll be slower than a proper cabled connection, but certainly fast/good enough to suit an overnight (/nightstand) or desk charge. I came across a G3 review (sorry, can't find the link) that says that the G3 is smart enough to warn you - with a pop up - when the phone isn't properly docked in the charger. If true then that's a neat feature, all the other wireless charging things I've used only confirm when the unit is docked correctly, (e.g. HP Touchpad "bongs").
Having had the official Samsung S3 charging dock I'll be interested to see if the LG charger supports the phone better than the Samsung's one does, and also if the G3 has a "docked" mode like the S3 does.

thanks, i will have a consider this option until my G3 actually arrives in 9 days time. if the deal is still up, i think i gonna take the plunge.
my other consideration is that it would take about 6 hours to fully charge the 3,000 mAh battery wirelessly?!? that's like... forever...
there is another steal just came out, the incipio wireless charging pad for $13. tried to get that, but turns out that the merchant does not accept overseas paypal account.
I've got one of the cheap chargers from Amazon, it was working with my nexus 4 and then when my g3 arrived it wouldn't work with it.
However, it's not working with my nexus 4 too after trying it again today, so I think I might've just got a dodgey charger. But, someone else on the forum has had the same exact problem I'm having; charging for a couple seconds, then disconnect.
Was thinking about getting the official one, but tbh spending £30ish to stick a wire into something else and charge my phone on that a little bit slower doesn't really seem worth it.

It does get warm near the cam area when playing games. Nothing unusual to me.
Just one time it got extra hot when I was converting from Dalvik->ART and the screen refused to turn off. The conversion took a while to complete as it has to convert over 200 apps.
Since I've been reading I've found that there is a Korean Spec backing that has 4 contacts that are very close, and is not compatible with the US LG G3 models. I didn't see another thread about these yet so lets use this thread to post US LG G3 compatible wireless charging backs, cases, inserts, or stickers.

Here's a good example photo I found of which one will NOT work with the US LG G3 models. Note how close the pins are on the Korean model and how they are spread out in groups of 2 on the US models. The US Model is the "Not Compatible" version shown in the pictures above.
I've given up. I've already ordered three different battery doors and canceled them after a new thread showed up saying they wouldn't work. I just ordered one of the crappy stickers that plugs in the usb port, and I'll just use that until I can get a qi compatible back.

Ok then this isn't good news: they don't work either.
So the only successful method I have heard to work to get wireless charging on US devices is to get a back panel from another variant and physically transplant them to your back panel. I'm really starting to hate the US variants because of all these minute changes that screw up features for the phone that many were looking forward to. I just hope that some companies have a solution for us in a couple months.
Check this out.
It looks like the Qi charging backs are starting to come out. I asked the seller to confirm it's Qi enabled & asked if available in black. There is a white variant as well.
Seems Verizon is offering Qi charging because there is also a Verizon branded version of this back cover for about $20 more. The LG variant is only $29 with free shipping. Good price.
Edit:
Read this thread. Same seller as the link I posted. Seems the covers aren't working. No one knows if just a bad batch of what the story is. Watch as it develops.

I saw guys were trying to get qi to work on the att model. They have had no luck. Thought I'd give it a go.
So I took the charging coil out of my galaxy s3, taped it to my qi charger, and placed the contacts onto the pickups on the back of the g3.... And nothing.
I understand this is not an official g3 qi receiver, but I thought it would have worked. So either you need an official back cover OR I'm thinking att crippled any wireless charging that is not pma.
I purchased my wife an ASUS Padphone X from AT&T. They threw in a Duracell PMA wireless charger if you purchased the cover case. It would be fine if AT&T threw in a wireless charger to close the deal since they changed from Qi charging.

I am one of the people that got the back from eBay. I am starting to think the same thing. I just cannot believe that we all got bad backs. I wish there was some way I could look into this in root. Does anyone know where the files would be to understand what is happening with wireless charging? I think I may start a thread on this and hopefully a dev will chime in.
All these treads are doing is making me want to sell my att lg g3 when i get it and buy the tmobile one and unlock it. it has an unlock bootloader already and im sure they will root it soon
I thought I saw mention that the G3 was powermat wireless charging and not Qi standard?
That could be why some are having issues maybe?

Only AT&T uses power mat via their version of the quick circle case. All other variants, backs, and cases support qi. There is no mention that they removed qi from the phone. It shouldn't make a different because the receiver is just receiving a different frequency and transmitting it into charging. I could be wrong, but you should be able to use PWA or qi depending on what case/back you are using.
The picture shows the correct connections for wireless charging. I asked about the return policy and they will exchange it or offer store credit. They will not refund the purchase.

From what I can tell, no one has tried it, except people on an ATT LG G3, which has been confirmed to not be compatible with QI. No one with any other US carrier has tried it, as far as I know.
I ordered one last Monday for my Verizon phone. I just received a message 30 minutes ago that there was a warehouse inventory mistake and it should ship on Monday. I haven't heard of anyone trying it either, aside from the AT&T people.

Same here. I bought the white one for my D851 (T-Mo) G3 and it works perfectly on all my Qi charging pads. Appears to be OEM - made by LG - based on my non-scientific eye scan compared to the OEM cover that came on my phone. Very high quality material, but wish it was black. When I bought mine last week, the seller only had white and gold covers with the LG logo and a couple of black covers with the verizon logo (no thanks!). Anyway, buy without worry....Qi works on the TMo variant of the G3.
Agreed with the above. Someone please link to one of these because I CANNOT FIND THEM. I've searched for EVERYTHING but cannot find a metallic black qi charging back cover.

The seller mentioned in this thread "cellphone-parts" only has the gold and white back covers in stock.
I was interested in getting the black cover so I contacted them via eBay. Response follows.
Hi,
Sorry for unable to get back to you over the weekend. Our purchasing department is trying their best to get the black one. We should have it available soon. Please allow us at least one week to see if we will have it. Feel free to check back later. Thank you very much for your interesting.

Can confirm the http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=151340368484 backplate does work. Seems to the the actual OEM plate from LG before they stamp it with carrier branding. Double win for zero carrier branding on my phone? How do you vzw owners feel now about your logos? I kid, but it's awesome.

Keep an eye on him as I'm sure he'll get more but they're presently sold out as I type this.

Years ago myself and a friend peel the sticker from the back of a palm pre and wired up my HTC Evo so It would have wireless charging. It wasn't to difficult to peel up....the hard part was soldering the wires.
No soldering here needed so I would think it is just peel and stick....
what's the worse that happens?
Got my gold version in. Put it on the back of my Verizon G3 and it works. I'm using it with a new powerbot charger and it's very easy to place - I haven't had to move it around or anything. Now to switch its sticker with my black back.
Has anyone found a good car mount for the LG G3 yet?

The ngroove snap will work as its a metalish sticket you either put on your phone or inside the case or battery cover. Though, it will kill Qi. I returned mine on my last device due to this. Never tested NFC as I never use it. If you dont care about Qi and possibly NFC, then its a great buy. There is also http://www.kenu.com/products/airframe-plus that just came out. I will be ordering this in the near future.
Hmm my parents will be using QI so that is a no go..
Does the Tmobile version come with QI preinstalled?
Also my dad doesn't want a vent one most likely, he likes the window shield car mount or what ever you would call that.

No accessories these days are made for specific phones. No company will limit themselves to a specific model when they can cater to everyone with a universal model. It will work with iPhones, Androids and tablets. Don't judge by the images they post.

They have more other than the snap version. If you want magnetic and sleek, thats the snap version. They have the grip which clamps the phone and does not use magnets

I have this one and works great with the g3, even with a case on it. I love n Fla and it has not moved from my dash since putting it on, the auction cup is top notch!

The Air Dock is the best right now. Magnetic mounts are great - very easy to quickly place and pick up your phone, and it has qi charging. It's expensive though.
I´ll try my "old" one witch I have used with the mi2, very strong magnetic connection, but I have to wait to get a back cover to fix the metal plate (the original back cover is too tight)

I saw the video and I like that it attaches to the dash. But I have a few concerns..
1. The suction cup is sticky...does it get linty from dust and stuff?
2. Any marks on dash (if you have it on there) due to the sun and the suction on there? Like a discoloration?

This is the one I used since Nexus. Still the best one on market.

I put the mount on my dash and have yet to take it off. I don't know if there is lint and if there is any discoloration. What I do know is the the mount is as sturdy as you can get. I had an oem Samsung mount that I would stick on the window, it is so hot down here in Florida that just about everyday, it would fall off and I would need to stick it to windshield again and again. This dock has yet to lose suction. Every other dock I have used would never stick to my dash without a 3m sticky plate that then the dock would sit on. Hth

I just took mine off after having it on for 2 years in Virginia - so it had to deal with a lot of flex in temperatures and a ton of humidity, etc. There was a ring imprint on the dash (it's leather wrapped) for a few days but then it disappeared. I have no discoloration, but that is not mount dependent - the material of your dash is what matters as a lot of plastic ones will fade over time, and the part hidden from the sun won't. You also can simply rinse the suction cup in the faucet and then mount it somewhere else - just make sure to clean the dust off of the dash very well first.
I ordered the air dock because there is nothing else that is as fast and convenient as the InfinniApps magnet mounting dock with Qi charging. I tried opening up one of those circle Powerbots and adding magnets as a DIY but the entire thing was a coil - no wonder why it was impossible to not place the phone right - and there was no place to put the magnets where they'd work without stopping the charging.

I don't suppose you have seen anyone using this with a G3 and the NFC/Qi sticker yet? I would be worried that the back is too textured to work on its own, and the sticker not fitting over both antennae. If it does work, I will put it on my short list; I am going to wait and see how much the Tylt Vu Car Charger ends up being before I commit to anything else since I have had such good luck with my desktop charger from them.

I'll let you know when mine comes in. But I'm using my InfinniApps mount right now and taped the metal plate over the qi/nfc sticker on the back cover and it sticks fine, and still charges on my Powerbot.
I ordered a OnePlus 5 for my wife as a birthday gift.
At the moment we both have Nexus phones (hers a 5, mine a 6) and we dock the phones on Qi chargers overnight. I'd like to replace her dock with one that is suitable for the OnePlus. I checked Amazon and found only one dock that supports Dash and the reviews are poor.
At one point a long time ago I thought I saw a "universal" dock which had no built-in cable, instead a clamp assembly that held whatever cable you put in place but I can't find one now.
Anyone have suggestions for a dock?
This is a missed opportunity for OnePlus, they should make a nice dock as an available accessory!

Thanks. Is it like the one on Amazon that is lightweight and easy to knock over? If so, does it have screws on the bottom (I have a bunch of old lead weights I can shape into a weight...).

I don't know about the one on Amazon, but this is not that lightweight and not easy to knock over. On the bottom it has 4 rubber pads, under which I guess there are 4 screws to keep it together. But it's really stable, I don't think you'd have to add magnets.

I am from Romania and we do not have Amazon here. So the only place to order phone accessories at a reasonable price is China. It took about 1 month from the time of purchase to the moment the dock arrived.
Right now there seems to be a major backlog with Canada Post and processing things from China. Some people have had to wait 3-4 months!

I don't know how thick the Otterbox case is, but the plate surrounding the plug springs down about 1-1.5 mm.
Would you not want to use a Qi adapter? I have one on my N6P at the moment and am hoping to use it on my OP5 when I get it too.
