I wanted to start a thread where people could post cases/backs that work on the US variants of the phone to provide Qi/Powermat charging. I am sure there are a lot of people confused by the different options.
Powermat
AT&T Black Quick Circle Case
Qi
Powermat =/= QI charging.
It should probably be noted that the AT&T version doesn't work with the QI backs. I believe it has been confirmed that their powermat circle case works with other versions though.

This is good news if true, it would suggest that the AT&T model not accepting Qi backs is a software limitation, not a hardware one. Would you mind pointing me to the thread/post that confirms this? I've been following most of the XDA threads that are discussing this, but I didn't see anyone mention that the PMA AT&T works on non-AT&T models.
Thanks!

Has his been confirmed with a Qi back that DID work on a t-mobile/sprint/verizon version, or just with the backs from Korea with a slightly different pin layout than the US variants?
Lots of different threads on this, hard to keep up with what we know for certain or not.
Sorry for the n00b question but what's wrong w/ PMA vs QI?

Now I can't find the post where someone claimed it, but I'm pretty sure I read that. I already ordered a qi back and charger so I wasn't giving it much attention. I'll look more when I get a chance. Fatboypup did say he ordered it for his sprint phone so you could keep an eye on his posts.

As far as I know, one isn't really superior to another, but if you already have a bunch of qi devices making a switch would be annoying and expensive.

I don't think there's much of a difference by standard. You'll just have to look at reviews of individual chargers. I bought this one which had good reviews. Apparently only the black circular ones with the black, red, or blue lining are true powerbots and the rest are fakes and much slower to charge though, according to one review. I've never had a device with wireless charging so I don't know much about it except for how the technology works in general.

It's only the AT&T models. AT&T has a contract with duracell so they'll only sell powermat capable phones.
Browsing around, I haven't found anyone with Qi charging as of yet for US. Seems Version and Sprint for now anyways just have a snap on case instead of removing the back of the G3 so no wireless charging functionality.
AT&T has PMA. Not sure what T-mobile will have, even the LG reps in one of the t-mobile stores where clueless.
I tried wireless Qi charging with my Nexus 7, it sucked as it was ridiculously slow. I returned it that model which was manufactured by Nokia. So I may just get the snap on case for the LG G3 instead anyways and live with quick circle functions.
Hopefully the Quick Circle case from AT&T will work. It sucks having to switch over to Powermat, but at least it is a working solution.

Wireless Charging thread.
Note 3 supports Wireless charging as did the Note 2.
Wireless charging is a MUST for me as I have many devices and im getting sick of plugging in wires.
Looks like Samsung is introducing the extremely expensive "official" wireless charging setup,
But we will also have options such as QI in which you can buy just the reciever and stick it under any cover you like.
Lets see what options we have here and compare.
Any word if VZN is gonna mess it up like on the Note 2? Not sure they'd have enough time to tho.

They removed the charging pins and covered it up with plastic (u'd have to drill holes then use copper wiring if u wanted it)
That is rather stupid of them, its an accessory they can sell but of course it's Verizon and they are always NOT looking out for the customer.
okay, so what all is this going to entail for me? I'm not really familiar with wireless charging on samsung devices, as far as I know it's 'pseudo-supported' but not out of the box, is that right? I'm coming from a nexus 4 and I have a few Qi chargers around the house that I'd really like to work with my Note 3...what do I have to do to accomplish that task?

On the Nexus 4/Droid Maxx its built in while on the Note 2/S4 that leave the pins so you can buy the Qi receiver (Samsung has their own back), there is the slim possibility that Samsung has it built in but unlikely.

Here is what I got from them
"Hello sbduce;
There will be a wireless charging door (Qi standard) for the Samsung Note 3 soon after it launches. The door will available for online ordering at www.verizonwireless.com.
Thank you for posting your question!"
I have trust issues with Verizon though so I am not sure if I believe this just yet. Going to wait and see what else comes to light this month.
I'm not a fan of spending $100 for the Samsung unit which requires putting a thicker back cover on my phone. WiQiQi made these for the Note 2, S3 and S4. Uses the original back cover by inserting a thin film with the charging coils under the cover and on top of the battery. I've never seen one of these but I hope they make one for the Note 3 soon. I don't know if the Note 2 unit would work since the battery pins have to line up and the Note 3 has a bigger battery. It's about half the price, uses the original cover, and should work with other charging pads such as the LG puck.

Can't imagine why they wouldn't. The aftermarket for the GN3 should be pretty good. I'm sure it is just some tooling to change the receiver to fit the new model. The base would not change
I wish the regular Flip Wallet Case had wireless charging :- / I don't like the S-View Cover Wireless because of more surfaces to keep clean and I enjoy the privacy the regular Flip offers (you can use it as a half opened book so that your neighbors can't see what you're watching.

I think you are right. I'll keep an eye out for those. The S3, S4, and Note 2 units were originally on Indiegogo before they started shipping
I bought the little white wireless charging pack that goes inside the S4. Loved it. Wonder if the same pack will work for Note 3.

My only issue is I often will want to be performing battery intensive tasks while inductive charging. As I have experienced from my old palm touchstone mod with an output of .5amp on my GS3 just having pandora running in the background led to a charge deficit. I only hope that inductive charging VERY soon supports 2+amp or I will never be able to turn that beast of a screen on for long and hope for a charge.

Samsung has released pictures of a flip cover with wireless charging built in.
I'm more concerned about the non-flip cover with wireless. Adding the receiver coil to the back increases the thickness of the back. On the S4 that means most cases won't fit with the OEM wireless charging cover. Using a third party Qi adapter inside the standard back causes a slight bulge that also interferes with fit of many hard cases because there isn't enough room inside the cover.
I think the S3 and Note 2 may have had a little more spare room inside than the S4. Because of the designers pushing for ever thinner phones we'll probably have the same sort of issue with the Note 3.
Slightly off-topic, I have the OEM Qi charging back cover for the S4 and I like the way it protects the camera. The standard back lets the camera lens touch the table when you lay it down, and I got a minor scratch in the first few minutes I had my S4. Once I changes to the Qi charging back the camera was recessed just enough for protection.

I honestly hate the design (and price) of the Quick Circle, but love Qi charging. Any chance we'll have any other (cheaper) alternatives, or will the best option be to buy the QC case and cut off the cover panel if you dislike it?
I've bought the quick circle case and plan to take out the Qi charging (&NFC) out of the quick circle case and stick inside the stock cover in place of the NFC only sticker.
Are they just stickers? Might do the same myself...

Well I ripped the coil and wireless charging 4 node things from the quick circle case and put them in my 400k and now I have wireless charging! Pretty painless and I am a bit of a bull in the China shop but all good and working.
The backing already is on ebay. The ones that have the QI charging have "NFC" in the item's title. Just make sure not to get F400 version which ha the pins lined up differently. Also, it seeems that the Verizon versions have a slightly different coloring so you'll have to take it out of the circle case for those.
Yes but these backs are slightly thicker than the normal backs. And have faux leather back. Depends what you like.

Hello,
I thought I'd start a thread for when people find a wireless charging backplate that works with the Verizon G3.
I really hope they just make life easy and sell an identical sized wireless backplate so we can use whatever case we want. They really blew it.. But to be honest if I have the spare battery and external charger it's probably easier to just pop a fresh battery in when needed and the wireless is kind of unnecessary.
This isn't really in the right section.
I ordered the gold back that many AT&T owners bought on Monday. I'll let people know if it works. It doesn't say it's shipped yet, but he left feedback the day I bought it so I assume he just doesn't label it shipped like some other sellers. It's going from California to Virginia so I probably won't have it until Monday.

That may not be released. Wouldn't make much sense to make a custom wireless charging adapter for a phone that already supports wireless charging. The backs on ebay probably will go down eventually. I got mine for $30 but it's gone up since then.

And why there is no wireless charging out of box Even if VZW just get a 10% attach rate, it would be $3,000,000 in revenue if VZW sold 500,000 G3's. That would be about $2,500,000 of pure profit (that is after product, box and shipping/handling costs).
Took a look at the Verizon LG G3's today. They do not have 4 connectors, only 2 that I assume is NFC. It did appear to have 2 coils on the back cover but I could easily be mistaken. Here are a few pics of the insides of the Verizon G3:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-F400-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item43ccc9e0ad
No. We don't have a F400.
The links are in the thread I mentioned, only 2 threads down from this one in the list.
The title should help you out...
"QI/NFC Verizon LG G3 Battery Covers $22.94 shipped already!"
This is the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Of course, I haven't received it yet and haven't ordered a back yet, so don't expect a review anytime soon.
Has anyone tried a cheap one from ebay such as found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item19f0d9b344 ... I think I might give it a try unless someone has experience and highly advises against it?!

Typically, they're all the same. With the one you posted, its all plastic shell which gives more real estate for the phone to rest on. Inside is just a coil and PCB board. I think there is a YouTube video of someone opening one of these up.
I opted for a smaller profile (I purchased similar for $1 more). I'll be ordering from this one soon - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2ed4c6f705. And it ships from the US. No long wait time.
But the one you linked to is a great price.

I was looking at those "hockey puck" ones and I like how it would take up less desk space... Found one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UL-Qi-Stand...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item19f0d9b650 ... but I like how the other one seems thinner and I think I would have less of a chance knocking it off than if it was balancing on that puck... I'm not too worried about time since I just ordered one of these qi stickers: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6173009396.html today and will probably have to wait half a month any ways haha

Good point. I just received my "hockey puck". Just in time for me to test out the Qi stickers.
Could of gotten in on my group buy for the stickers. I ordered 100 and should have it next week. Sold out of all of them in a day and they should be mailed out to everyone late next week.
Seems there is still demand for them so I'm about to place another order for 100. BTW, I've been in constant contact with the manufacturer..they've been sold out so it will take some time. But since I'm ordering so much, they'll be able to accommodate my order quicker.
Yeah I saw I missed out, that's ok, I can wait. It didn't say when I was ordering that they were sold out.

Yea, it doesn't say when you order. One thing I don't like is that it takes 1 day to process payment verification, 5 days to process order and another 15-26 days to ship. Luckily with this group buy, no one has to wait that long.
But if you do get that Qi charger, definitely let us know. Great price but to me, its just too big.

I ended up ordering that first one I linked to so I'll report back once I get everything (lol ETA between Aug 15 - Sept 28).
I use the TYLT Vu at work and a Nokia DT-900 at the house... Both work very well
New, stronger, more expensive Qi chargers are coming out this fall: http://www.androidauthority.com/qi-wireless-v1-2-improves-412408/
I've seen the articles but no solid evidence. Will LG produce a wireless charging back for the V10 or not?
I don't want a wireless flip cover either.
I haven't heard anything for sure, although I think they may. But I was searching eBay this morning and there are finally replacement backs with QI for the V10 available. Some look awfully cheap but there were a few that would be hard to distinguish from OEM. They all seem to be reasonably priced too, all were under $20.

Unfortunately, delivery times all seem to be some time in December, both from Amazon and eBay options. I wonder if LG will have a higher-quality offering before that time?

This was my dilemma, but I ordered a few of the sticker/receivers anyway - figured for less than $5, how could I go wrong? If LG or any US seller offers before I receive it, I'll buy it and then sell the ones from China when they arrive, or keep for extra if I get different backs.

Great point. Guess I'll do the same. I suppose they could show up early. That happens sometimes.
Plus, if they eventually release a *proper* leather back, even without Qi charging, I'll probably want a sticker to enable it, because I WILL be buying THE FIRST real (or close to real) leather back that becomes available for this phone!
So, what is up with the inside of the LG V10 back cover? Looks like a Qi charger, but is it not??

Nope. Just NFC antenna.
I suggest checking the other threads with posting, pictures, reviews and comments on several non-OEM and 1 OEM official LG battery back cover with NFC / Qi wireless charging in the V10 accessories forum.

Exactly what I was about to say. The official oem wireless charging cover is in the wild folks.
