Qi Charging Pads - Sprint LG G3

So, I finally received my sticker, and now I can wireless charge (yay), but my only Qi Charging Pad is the flat crappy Ebay one.
I'd like to get something similar to the Tylt Vu, at a reasonable price. Anyone have experience with:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4adb780ae4
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-WCD-...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item339185d666
I'm new to the wireless charging game, and I'm not sure how the compatibility works.
Thanks ahead of time for helping!

If you take a look at the multiple G3 forums, both are fine and highly recommended.

Sorry I still get a bit leary looking at other versions of phones. The US Carriers have done an amazing job of ****ing up any trust I have of intercompatibility.
Still trying to find that second one in one of the posts and having luck.

I totally agree with you.
I have the Nokia DT-900 and it works great on my Sprint G3, but have been unsuccessful thus far at finding any others that work as well.
I have a CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad coming today. A colleague at work has it, and the phone tends to charge more often than not (if you get it in the sweet spot (hot zone)).
Good thing I have an Amazon prime account and return shipping is free! I've been doing quite a bit of buying and returning lately.

Yeah Prime is the best.
It seems the Tylt works well, but damn it...I don't want to spend upwards of $70 on a charger that could be outdated in a year or two.

Again, I totally agree.
I am trying to stay in the 25-30 range.
I will let you know how the CHOE pad works out, but also as I said, the Nokia DT-900 works great and can be found for around $20 online.

Itian A6. It's a TYLT Vu clone and works. If you take the time to browse the forums or search, you'll see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=302985969
I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/feeler-buy-qi-nfc-sticker-t2827738 and did a search for "itian a6"

Chargers using the new Qi spec should be coming later this year, so I think spending a lot of money now on something very soon to be outdated is not a good idea. I'm sticking with the $10-$15 ones that can be found on eBay. As long as they output 1000mA they're good enough for now.

The CHOE updated charger pad works very well with the Sprint LG G3.

Now that is some helpful information, thank you. Backwards compatible is the hotness.

FWIW The CHOE charger has worked really well for both my N5 and G3.

[Q] Lost charger, won't pay $50 for plastic, cheap ones have bad reviews?

Anyone know where I can get a WORKING charger for the Transformer Prime that isn't $50?
Amazon has several, but the ones that are fairly priced have reviews saying that the charger disrupts the device, opens and closes apps, ruins the touchscreen, etc. If it's having problems like THAT, then something really bad is happening.
I've checked Amazon, I've checked Monoprice, and in many places even Asus's own stock charger is out of stock.
Is there anywhere to buy a Transformer Prime wall charger that's reliable and that isn't over $25 (even that is stupid expensive for some plastic and metal).
I bought a $6 cigarette one off ebay and have used it 3 times with no difficulties... other than loosing root! J/K I think if you look hard enough you will find someone who will say something bad about anything. Remember, people will take to the internet to complain far faster than they will to praise. Consider that while reading reviews.

Yes, that's true, but when you have an amazon page where a product has two stars and fifty votes, with almost every review citing that the charger interfere's with the device's power and causes it to act frantically by opening and closing apps at random, then you know there's a problem.
Also, I've had the (dis?)pleasure of owning a Nexus 7, a device where you're more likely to have problems than not. So I understand what it's like when a device simply doesn't work or has issues.

Interesting, in the pictures on that item there are "slots" in the end for the prongs to fold up?! Does anyone elses "original" prime charger have folding prongs?
I have bought many "original" "oem" items from ebay only to find they were not. They worked ok so I kept them. Once I bought a motorola slvr "OEM" replacement battery that even had the motorola hologram on it. The way you could tell it was fake was that the hologram had no depth. There was only one layer to it.

So you spent like $150 on chargers? No way could I spend that kind of money on a few phone chargers.
It was $130 with the discount. I figure it'd be worth the convenience factor since I was starting to get annoyed by having to open and close the usb cover all the time when I just want to use it for 5-10 minutes. Hopefully it'll keep the cover from breaking off too. Assuming Qi doesn't lose market share to that other one that is coming out, I will probably still be able to use them for the next 3-4 years at the least. If not, I can always gift it to people I guess.
i just ordered one too.. too bad to get my normal business discount i have to pay for it then when it arrives call CS and have the amount credited back to me.. kinda a pain but oh well even at $59.99 they are a good deal, and free 2 day ground shipping..
They have just the plate too for $50

i got one in today that i ordered and it wont stay charging. the connected to wireless charger will pop up and it will charge for a few seconds then it will say disconnected from wireless charger. i tried it inside the pillow, withouth the pillow with the same results. the only thing i didnt do was remove my cruzerlite case since it charges fine with it on when i use my lg wireless charger.
did i happen to just get a bad one, or are other people having problems with it charging though a case.

I've got a cruzerlite on mine, and I use the Nokia charger (no pillow) and it works great.
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
Mine got in today and I'm impressed with how fast it charged it from about 40% to full charge in less than 3 hours. That's without a case though, the Otterbox should be here in a day or two, if it can stay sort of close to this, I'll be an official HTC fanboy (at least until Samsung gets their act together again )
Fatboy Pillow Out of Stock
The pillow is out of stock, though the plate is not and it's $10 cheaper.
Is there any difference in quality/charging speed/anything important between the pillow and the plate? Their output seems to be the same from the specs I've read.
Amazon has the plate in stock for $49.99 and it's Prime eligible, but I wanted to see if there was any advantage to the pillow before pulling the trigger on this.
They are the same charger. If you pull out the charger in the pillow, it's just the plate.

The charge the same, the only difference is that you can have a giant ugly red pillow if you want for $10 extra, and then you get to look back in 5 years and laugh about how dumb they were.

Which Qi wireless charger is everyone using?

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.

I am using cheap QI-pads from eBay. They all work with N6 and a standard feed charger with a capacity of at least 1A at 5 volt.
Because the back of the N6 is not flat you need a rectangular QI-pad.
For pratical use place a marker on the QI-pads to remember the right position.
I've been using this Itian with 3 coils from Amazon for a couple of weeks now. It works great so far.
It's at a nice angle, allowing me to see the screen while it charges & the 3 coils allow me to just drop it on the pad, without having to adjust trying to find the right spot before it starts to charge.
That Itian is what I'm looking for .. I'd like to find a stand up with LED.. But that one is nice..and cheap ? I live in the US so wonder how long it would take to get here ,looks like its in the UK

You can find it on the US Amazon store too.
And it also has a led at the bottom. It's red when the phone isn't on or when it's fully charged and blue when it's still charging.
Nice ! Thanks I'll check that out fosho!
I've been looking for a charger as well, might have to give this one a shot. Its way cheaper than the TYLT chargers
I'm using the Itian as well -- working great so far. It's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be, which is good for the big Nexus 6.

I've been using the Itian since January.; I have two of them, in fact.

Fast Charge Bundle - Wireless Charging Stand, Battery Pack and Vehicle Charger - $99

If you need a USB C vehicle fast charger, fast charge battery pack and fast wireless charger, this bundle from Verizon is $99 and comes in 3 choices of colors for the fast wireless charging stand:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-fast-charge-everywhere-bundle-blk/
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-fast-charge-everywhere-bundle-sil/
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-fast-charge-everywhere-bundle-gld/
I bought this and the fast charge battery pack is very nice. It comes with a cable that has a micro USB plug and a USB C adapter that is hooked onto the cable by a loop so you can charge both micro USB and USB C devices. The color reminds me of the orchid gray S8, it's very premium looking and feeling. It has pass through charging too so you can both charge a device and the battery pack at the same time.
The fast wireless charging stand is great, it has a fan in it to help to dissipate heat.
The fast charge USB C vehicle charger has a coiled cable, which I really like for storing in my console, but I wish it came with a USB C to micro USB adapter so that it could be used to charge both types of device. You can buy USB C to micro USB adapters on amazon and ebay.
https://www.amazon.com/TriLink-Adapter-Anti-lost-Keychain-Connector/dp/B01HI5YYN8?th=1
You could similar items on amazon for about $50 for all three. I usually stay away from bundles Verizon sells. Everything is cheaper on amazon.

Not of the same quality/design. The Samsung fast charging wireless charging stand has a fan in it that helps to keep the device cool while fast charging. I haven't seen any of the other brands have something like that.
The fast charging battery pack not only comes with a micro USB cord with a USB C adapter, it has a loop that makes it easy to carry. It is a very premium looking and feeling device. The color also goes well with the orchid gray S8. That may not matter to you, but I like things that look stylish.
The vehicle charger has a coiled cord, which again, is something that may not matter to you. I will only buy vehicle chargers with coiled cords as I find them so much less likely to get tangled up in my console. The only thing I would improve on is to have a USB C (female) to micro USB adapter included so that you could charge both types of devices. You can buy those on amazon or ebay.
You could get a 2 pack of the samsung (with fan) wireless charges from Woot:

As far as the battery pack ya the strap is a neat idea. But still much cheaper and better ones on the market. Personally I have one that can jump start cars if need be, has a flash light, and has the quick charge feature that was $50.
The coiled car charger is also good but since i have multiple devices (work phone, personal phone, and wifes phone) i have a multiple outlet quick car charger.

Thanks, the first one is not a stand though, I like the stands. The 2nd - 4th are 2 coil stands and if you read in the reviews, the reviewers say they won't charge the Note 5 in portrait position, which is a problem I had with the 3rd party chargers. The Samsung one works with my Note 5 in either portrait or landscape position. That won't matter to you if you don't have a Note 5, but I do and also I will likely be getting the Note 8 so it could be a problem for that device.

How big is that though? I want something portable and I like how attractive the Samsung one is too.
And not only can the Samsung battery pack fast charge your phone, it also has fast charge so it fast charges if you use the Samsung adaptive fast charge plug to charge it. And it can do passthrough charging and fast charge your phone while it is fast charging itself.

When you buy retail, especially from a phone provider, you're ALWAYS going to overpay for the same thing rather than when you buy from Amazon or somewhere online.

No, not at all. For Samsung OEM products, the Verizon bundle is better priced than anything you can get on Amazon. The person you were responding to is recommending generic products, some of which may be OK, but they aren't Samsung products and aren't as stylish. I have used plenty of the cheaper products sold by those manufacturers and lots had problems. Plus they are cheap looking. The Samsung products are nicer.
It may not matter to you what a wireless charging stand looks like in your home sitting out on a desk or table, but it matters to me. I have a very nice looking decor and the silver Samsung wireless charging stand looks premium, not like those cheap products you can buy off of Amazon.
This is a great deal for what you get. You can always buy cheaper generic products but you can't find a better deal on the Samsung charging stand and battery pack.

I'll just repeat what I wrote earlier. This is an atrocious price. You can do better for official samsung wireless chargers (2 for the price of less than 1 from verizon):

This is like people who buy stuff from bigbox retail stores like bestbuy. I had to walk a friend who bought $50 HDMI cable from PC Richard and Sons and was told the cable was needed because she had Verizon Fios and that was the only type of HDMI cable that would work with Verizon Fios. When I went back with this friend and asked the in-store "expert" who told her this in the first place, the woman looked at me and said, "oh, you work in computers, don't you?" I just smiled and made her take the cable back and give my friend her $50 + tax back.
The phone carriers sell overpriced accessories because a lot of the people who get their phones think that if they're already in the store, the "official" products must be better. There are a LOT of people who still don't comparison shop on the internet.
What Verizon is doing in this instance is price gouging of people who don't go comparison shopping. It's sad, but I see it all the time.

Nope, you are wrong for all of the reasons I said. And you continuing to compare cheap looking generic products just means you don't understand my point. Obviously, having cheap looking generic products isn't an issue for you. Well not everyone feels the same as you. I have a nice home, a nice car and a nice phone. I want nice accessories too.

LOL, yup, and everyone you know KNOWS you have all these things. LOL, the Woot deal is neither cheap nor generic. Those are from Samsung.
It's sad when people think that buying name-brand at full price is the "official" way to go. The rest of us will simply pay less and wonder why you end up in such debt. However, your nice car, your nice home, and nice phone will all make you nicely poor. I prefer to spend my money on real products that aren't sold at full price.

Not at all. I live within my means, I just have a lot of means. I am a very successful person.
You can buy a lot of cheap crap on Amazon, have at it. Life is short, I can afford nice things so I buy them. I still have plenty saved for retirement and I own my on home outright, no mortgage. Car is paid off too.
Regardless of how much money I have, this is a GOOD deal.

I'm sorry, but when you have boast about your "success" to justify spending too much on accessories does not work. Your "good deal" was a bad deal. Bundle deals are scams, much more when you buy at a retail store. No matter how much you make, if your a millionaire, middle class, or minimum wage, when it comes to money, shop smart and do your research.
Maybe it's just my phone, but the 2nd-Gen Samsung Wireless Fast Charger Stands (Last years model, not this years.. I have two different ones) do not properly charge my S8. It just constantly turns on and off every second or two. This happens no matter if the phone is positioned vertically or horizontally. Other wireless chargers that I have (non-samsung) work fine

I have last year's model in black and it works fine to fast charge my S8/S8+. I have this year's in silver and it too works fine to fast charge my S8/S8+. They have a 1 year warranty so I would hit up Samsung to get a replacement if it has been less than 1 year since your date of purchase.

You know I am sorry, Sorry you got such a bad deal. You can see NO ONE supported you on this "Great Deal" because it was not a deal. It was Verizon selling you over priced accessories to fulfill their accessories quota. A smart consumer would of seen through their commission driven lies and said no.
Oh yeah btw... the Samsung fast charge wireless stand is on sale for $25 LOL

I just unsubscribed to the thread but was notified that you had quoted me. Honestly, if he wants to pay full price for his accessories, it's what the carriers and the manufacturers love. Consumers who don't shop around and pay retail. Makes them really happy. I'll opt to make my wallet happy and the manufacturers/carriers unhappy.

Dude, GET A CLUE. The bundle is NOT full price. I know for some of you math is hard, but damn boy, this is just arithmetic.
