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.

Yeppers. 1 of each at discount. So just picked up one circle case and the G watch. Really wanted 2 cases.
Too happy with a $114 dollar G watch to be to upset.

I was going to do the same, but someone pointed out to me that the ATT Quick Circle is POWERMAT, not QI. So it will only work with Duracell Powermat chargers. Sigh. The search continues.

I've been trying to find a Euro case for a week now. Nothing available yet. I'm willing to bet we'll see a quickcircle case for another carrier with QI before I find a European back.
There is this that looks decent ( Ebay Back ) but I'm waiting to find a cheaper one, or for them to offer it in black so I don't have to cannibalize.

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.

as I posted in the wireless charging thread;
LG makes a slim case backing that supports wireless charging. It is a case / replaces the back panel. It is on their site and shown as a pre order on some websites such as mobilefun.

Good to know it is indeed qi. There were a couple rumors that it was possibly powermat. Most people didn't think that, but it's nice to have confirmation.

AT&T doesnt use Qi, so this wouldnt work for VZW users. AT&T uses powermat.
I only get a 15% disc on the folio case from vzw.com so it would be $47.69 with tax .. do y'all think its worth that?

Yes but before people realized this, they bought a qi international edition back on ebay. It's never been confirmed that they work and aren't fake somehow because no one without an AT&T version has tried it. It's qi, not powermat.

You probably have selected the wrong case if your looking for the qi version, if you want the charging version it is $59.99 base. with 15% off pre tax it should be $51.00

I was considering doing the same, but I'd hate to put out the cash and it not work. I mean Qi is just one part of the equation, are the pins in the same spot?
I have the Verizon case in my shopping cart but I don't really want the circle case and I'm still looking for instructions for how to "transplant" the wireless charging bits to the stock Verizon back.

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:

That's the question YOU have to answer, is it worth it to you?
Just wanted to see what everyone was using. I purchased the TYLT Vu. It's a little expensive bit I wanted one that could charge while being on landscape.
I've got three of those in one of the newer cheaper versions of that call the a6 then another company makes. You'll find it on Amazon. Both of them work perfectly with the g3 in landscape and portrait.

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.

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.

New, stronger, more expensive Qi chargers are coming out this fall: http://www.androidauthority.com/qi-wireless-v1-2-improves-412408/
I ordered the Qi sticker from Ali Express and it has been working great. These are the same ones that others are selling on here and eBay. Here's the link if you want to get it yourself and save a few bucks.

i have 3 of the stickers let if any one was looking for on and did not wanna wait 3 weeks for it to come in
Which chargers are you all using?
I have tried 4 so far and only the Nokia DT-900 works for me.
I tried an Incipio Ghost 100, PowerBot PB1020, and Anker Slim as well, but all kept reporting to put the phone in the hot zone and wouldnt charge it.
I've heard good things about TYLT, but can't see spending 50+ for a charger.
Thanks.

I like using a case on my phone. Does this card add any bulk? I purchased one for GS5 and wasn't happy with bulge it created.
I bought the sticker from ebay, installed but i really dont like how it work, i have to put the phone in the sweet spot to work ( probably could be the charger) but my nexus 5 charge from any angle.

Use a different Qi charging pad. The LG G3 is picky when it comes to charging pads.
I'm using this Qi sticker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201154470247?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Only a buck more than the 1 from China, and it gets to you a lot faster. It's working fine, and is no thicker than the stock NFC sticker (which you need to pull / scrape out of the back before you install this one) so it adds no bulk.
I'm using it with these charging pucks:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESUC36M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They work fine. Positioning is a little bit sensitive, but it only took me a few tries to figure out the sweet spot.

Ordered this one off eBay and couldn't get it to work for anything, NFC is very weak compared to the stock cover. Asked for a replacement and installed it, same thing. Using this puck that I got with my S5 , maybe I'll try a known working pad, I got a feeling this one is very cheap.

Hey guys I just wanted to share with you a PMA enabled battery door that will allow you to wirelessly charge your G3 with a Powermat charger. Here is a link:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...2-Housing-Shell-with/1628681_32274550167.html
I just ordered one yesterday, they are $30USD with free shipping from China. When I receive mine I will let you know what I think.
IMO this is a much better option than the stickers you can get. With the stickers you have to butcher your stock backplate which could complicate warranty issues. This way you're getting a new door and you don't need to worry about how to align the sticker properly and such.
I also ordered 3 Powermat chargers from Amazon.com. They were $4 each and shipping for all 3 combined was about $5. I shipped them to CBI on the US side of the border and I will pick them up in a couple of weeks.
Anyhow, I just thought I would share about a cheap/good way to get wireless charging with your G3.
You can also get this one in the us for the same price. I bought it because I didn't have to wait for shipping from China. It's been working great for months.

I don't have anything to compare it to as it's the only one I've ever used, but it has worked flawlessly. I suggested the one from amazon because you said you were shipping to the US and then picking up. Either way, it's an option and I know it works.
Post back when you get the one you ordered. I'm curious to see if it causes the battery door to bulge like mine. That's the only downside.
