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.
I am using a Nokia "Fatboy" QI charger and it is working great!

Was it this one? A6
I thought the Verizon model had wireless charging built in. But I tried my g3 on his qi charger and it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Yup, there's a bunch of threads on it in here. One was posted by me, go to ebay and find user Cellphone-Parts, buy a wireless charging back. Works perfectly

the ones i see on ebay are this one. is that the one you are talking about?
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 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.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fact...G-G3-CASE-D885-D830-D851-D850/1971193812.html
What kind of charging rate are you seeing with this?
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.

@ piperj All gone ASHinStL got the last one
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
Does anyone know if the old Google Wireless charger seen here http://www.amazon.com/Google-Wirele...4183&sr=8-3&keywords=nexus+6+wireless+charger will work with the Nexus 6?
Yes, it does. It doesn't "stick" as good as the N4 and N5 (I believe primarily because of the curved back), but it is usable.
You're much better off with a larger charging bed though, like the original Samsung charger. Or, better yet (especially if you're wanting a "stand-up" type of charger), the Nokia DT-910 works perfectly. Regardless, just remember that the sweet spot (which is the area you center on your charger) is unusually low on the N6. You want the center of your charger to be centered horizontally on the N6, but vertically, be just below the bottom of the volume rocker.
I have the Orb and it works fine. The other person was correct when he said it doesn't stick in place as well. You have to be slightly careful how you place it or it might slide down so that the phone is resting on the table but once it is on it stays in place.
I have read the Tylt charger works well.(http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8) I am considering getting one even though they are really expensive so I can simply plop my phone down without having to think about it at all and know it will work fine and not fall off.
I do have the flat nokia dt-900 and it works well and isn't fussy about placement. With the amoled screen I want it tilted to use as a clock at night.
The Nokia DT-910 looks OK. Its about $35

I can vouch for that charger. Worked great on my N5, works perfect on my N6. It's such a great charger that when I bought my N6, and gave my wife my N5, I had to order another DT-910, because no way in hell she was getting mine.
OK I'm about to order the Nokia 910. And again it does work great with the Nexus 6 correct? Also what color is the LED on the stand when charging? Amazon has it for $49

Yes, it works perfectly with the N6. The LED on the bottom is white. It's very noticeable, but isn't "light up the room" bright like a lot of chargers.

Duh I totally forgot to ask. Will this charger work the the Nexus 6 if its in a case?

Can I have a picture please
I'm curious about how big does the N6 look while docked. I currently like mine laying down on a pad, but kind of curious of how tall it is when on a dock like that.
So a while back I ordered two moto stands because they were on sale. I hardly use one of them so I decided to modify one.
This is what I came up with because I had been wanting a qi wireless stand. It was a lot easier than I thought.
Took apart one of the stands. Under the pad are just four lil screws, then just clipped off a couple of tabs so that it can lay flat on the back of the qi charger.
I didnt want to use super glue to stick them together, then I remembered I had some adhesive for cell phone screens and that stuff is strong, for being super thin (i think 1/16)
Here are some pics. Works awesome and looks good.
Looks nice. I like it. Props on the creativity.
oh btw i took the pics with my N6 lol
I might try this with mine, I mainly use it for holding my phone when I do work but this is a good idea.
This inspired me. I just bought all of the stuff to do this.

With this setup, it only charges while it's standing up. I wanted it to charge both ways standing and laying on the side. But now I like that I can lay it on its side after its done charging, without it continuing to charge.

Yeah I might see if I can't change the position of the charging pad a bit so I can charge it on its side. I'd like to use it as an alarm clock type dock.

It's possible, the charger would just need to be lower. Or if you had one of those rectangular ones that have like 3 coils. I think theres one on amazon that I saw thats the same thickness as this round one.

I dont think it would make a difference with that charger, I tried it that way and it wouldn't charge the phone sideways.
Just got a nexus 6 and i see that this stand is on sale.
Does the charging pad work with the N6 in that position?
I like the subtle plug for FKupdater.
How well does it work with a case? My nexus 4 qi charger works while the other I got for my Sammie doesn't. The nexus charger is just very difficult to find the sweet spot and get it to stay there. I'm currently is using the supcase unicorn beetle heavy duty case, awesome case by the way. Thanks
