I've just bought a G3 and have bought a case for it.
It's one of those cases that attaches to the back of the handset, which I hadn't realised. I have noticed that the back that comes with the handset has 4 contact points, but my new case does not.
Can anyone tell me what they do and what difference it will make that the new case doesn't have them?
These are for the wireless charger. If you have changed the back cover this function won't work.

It's also for the NFC antenna. You can purchase NFC/wireless charging stickers that are specific to your phone to stick on the new phone case if you require those features. I had to buy a sticker on amazon to allow me to use NFC with my zerolemon case

The Nexus 5/7 has Qi charging built-in and will stick to the magnetic Nexus Wireless Charging Pad.
I have seen this for the Note 3 that will add Wireless charging: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMRXD9U/
and this magnetic car dock that comes with a metal plate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPMNNUO/
Is it possible to add both to the Note 3 without changing to a thicker battery cover?
I would like to know also. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance..
I just spoke to another user via PM.
Apparently the nGroove Snap holds the phone pretty well using just the official Samsung Wireless Charging Cover, without an additional metal plate. Looking at pics online, i can see that there's some more metal in that cover, maybe that's why it works.
I had also read about people putting the metal plate behind their batteries - but I have no idea how thick it actually is.
The second one is good.
anyone knows of a similar pass through coil in Uk, i mean ebay UK or amazon.
So like many others I'm sure I thought the Verizon LG G3 included wireless charging. So I bought my Qi charger and put my phone on it only to find out it wouldn't work. I dug a bit deeper into the subject and found someone who had debunked the idea of Verizon leaving the wireless charging feature in the phone.
If you didn't know it, the Verizon LG G3 does not include Qi (or any) wireless charging. I found a replacement for the sticker in the back cover. I've seen others who bought the back cover and sticker for just a bit more aftermarket. But if you want to keep your shinny nice LG back cover this is for you. I bought two and are working great. (have not tested NFC functionality but the pin outs are there and have no reason to think that it doesn't work.
Here is the link. Shipping was decent and quite fast (faster than there projected time frame) I was happy with the purchase and can now Qi the LG G3!
ah, so it seems I'm new here and can't post with the link below. Either go to dealsishop dot com and search for it or piece the url back together.

The NFC works fine.
Just got mine in yesterday. Took about 3 days to get after ordering. Put it on this morning and both qi and NFC work great. It even charged with my case on, which is awesome.

Fast shipping and they work great.
I noticed that the phone gets little warm where you sit it on the Qi Charger but probably normal???
I ordered the back from the same site, the Verizon Black Back cover.
Got it today and nothing, but the back contacts look nothing like the site shows I have attached a photo. Looks like the contacts are not lining up correctly or are not raised enough to meet the back of the phone.
Have emailed the company, hopefully they will make it right.
I just got a sticker off eBay for $10 we will see what happens
I ended up ordering one of these back covers:
LG G3 Verizon VS985 Black Battery Door Back Cover with NFC QI Wireless Charging
Received it today and it works great!

Thanks for this.. I have been looking, reading reviews on Amazon and Ebay. There's two things that bother me about this. This is a flagship, premium phone, one of the best in my opinion. Yesterday, I went to Verizon to see if I could buy one there. 27.99 for the battery door, then 27.99 for the Qi Charger. thats over 50 bucks for something I ordered here for 27.99.. First off, why wasn't this on the phone originally? Secondly, why is Verizon trying to break the bank on something that should have already been standard on the phone? Sadly, I know the answer to the 2nd question. End rant here
Really though, I'm on XDA atleast 5 times a day and really never look at Accessories. Thanks for the great advice!
Finally got mine

Hi, I bought the same one, and it works perfectly!
Thanks for the recommendation.
I bought the same one on eBay as well. Wireless charging works great but NFC doesn't work at all. I've contacted the seller to see if I can get a replacement sticker.
Mine doesn't work at all. NFC or wireless charging

I bought 2 of these. Installed the sticker without issue. The charging pad lights up, the phone says it is being wirelessly charged, but it is not. The percentage is actually going down while it says it is charging. Going to try a different charger tonight, but it does the same thing plugged into a computer.
As another poster said the NFC works fine the qi however does not work stock.
Also, I have had a really bad experience with those stickers. I probably bought about 5 and none of them worked. Returned them and received replacements and they still didn't work so, I went ahead and bought a battery door with the nfc and qi functionality built in and that has worked for me. Although the NFC is seemingly not as responsive as it was with the stock back.
If you want to drop some money the slimguard case is pretty cool and includes both, 320 is the US version. Mine took a month to get here. I was lucky with sticker on original back plate but it was a bulky sticker and seemed like back plate barely went back on. Adding a case didn't give the best qi charge rate so I just got slimguard
Zerolemon and NFC/QI stickers
Has anyone had any luck with modding/retro-fitting the zerolemon rugged case/extended battery (http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Zero..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1426945301&sr=1-6) with one of the Qi stickers? I'm not looking for the wireless charging as much as I am the NFC functionality as the case doesn't have pin-outs for it.
Yes, I have NFC and qi charging working fine with the Zerolemon case & 9000mah battery. I just carefully lined up the connections & affixed the connections part of the sticker to the phone with tape. Then put a small piece of foam on top of the connections to put pressure on the connections when the back cover parts are installed. I put in the battery & laid the coil part of the sticker over the battery. I then snapped the plastic back with the battery cutout carefully over both the battery & the sticker being aware not to break the wires between the connections & the coil when pinching them between the plastic & the top of the battery. A bit of a hack, but as long as you don't remove your battery that often it should hold up just fine.

Excellent, thank you! I've ordered the stickers and will attempt it soon!
How long does it take for a full charge wirelessly?
Well, I actually don't know exactly because I rarely drain the 9000mah battery all the way down, lol. Under normal use for me, I get down to 50-60% remaining be EOD and 6-7 hours on my Powerbot qi charger has it at full charge when I wake up. What I'd say is that I feel this charges nearly, if not just, as fast as it does plugged into a wall outlet. But, it does depend on the output of the charger/power adapter you are using so YMMV. Good luck putting it all together. This is my first qi charging setup and I am definitely loving not having to plug in as the Zerolemon case with it's added bulk and cover over the charging port made plugging in a tedious task.
I bought what I thought was an official quick circle case from a place called wackydot, and while qi works, nfc does not. I have contacted them, they sent a replacement and that one does exactly the same, qi, but no nfc. I believe the sticker is just off, however no amount of me fiddling will get it to make contact where nfc will work. I'm looking for a genuine Quick Circle case that has Qi and NFC, but all I keep finding is one from Verizon.. Will that work on a T-Mobile phone? Or does anyone know where I can get the official case that does both Qi / NFC? I love the case and phone, but I don't want to compromise one feature for the other. Thanks for any help you all can provide.
You could buy a replacement sticker with both qi and nfc for your wackydot case. It will show 4 pins instead of just 2. If your wackydot shows 4 pins and you still can't qi charge with it, it's broken.

Thats just it, qi works fine, its nfc that doesn't work.
Same problem, except that even 2 pin stickers enable nfc.
Either the quick circle case you received is defective, or your G3 is. If you G3 worked for nfc with the original back on, then return the wacky case for a replacement that works or your money back.

I bought the same case from Wackydot and until I saw this post, I didn't realize that my NFC didn't work either. I tried all my tags and have the same issue. I have a qi/nfc chip that I bought from izy on this forum and it worked great when installed with my Verizon back plate. This case from Wackydot has the same 4 pins and looks exactly like the chip I bought so I agree that it might be in the wrong location or is simply defective.
I'm pretty sure the Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging. What is the best way. A sticker? Would I need to peel off the existing NFC sticker or would just buying a qi backplate from ebay be the better option?
With the stickers you replace the factory one, but I've read stories where you have to make sure the sticker is on perfect or it won't work. The replacement back cover would probably be the easiest way just a lot more expensive.

I just use the qi flip case from vzw
I ordered the sticker. It works great and was only $10.
Buy the sticker from China. It's ten bucks and does both charging and NFC. Works well. Just takes about three weeks to get it.

Can someone throw a link to the "sticker" i bought a qi charging pad on ebay and it cane with a flat reciever with pins u are suppose to lay in and put the battery cover over it for my s5 but it made the battery door bulge out too much for me. It killed the ipc rating because it pushed the gasket away on the battery door

I ordered Style 1 from aliexpress below. It is being delivered today (took two weeks). Apparently the price has gone up $1 since I ordered. I'll let you know how it works when I get home from work and get a chance to try it out.
Can't post links: aliexpress: Factory Direct Wholesale QI wireless charging + NFC IC chip for LG G3 CASE D855 D830 D851 LS990 VS985 F400L F400K F400S support
So far results are not good. The sticker is easy to install, but my cheap QI charger from Amazon is not working with my phone. I need to try a beter wall plug that gives at least 2A. I'll update if I get it working or not.
I bought this one, and it works just fine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201154470247?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Scraping out the old one was a bit of a pain, but getting the new one aligned is very easy. The back has recesses that show you just where to install it.
I'm using it with this charger, and again no problems at all:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was unable to get the Qi sticker from aliexpress to work with my phone. I tried it with two different Qi chargers and 8-10 wall plug/cord combinations. It would recognize the connection but keep giving errors about centering and such. Just to rule it out I tried the sticker from ebay linked above. This new sticker works great with both of the chargers (one of which is the one from amazon linked above) and all of the wall plug/cord combinations I have tried. The phone will even charge wirelessly through my case.
I can't find which case I should buy for my phone when using the wireless charging back cover. Does anyone have any good recommendations?
I thought I would go ahead and answer my own question. For those who are interested in having some kind of case with the Galaxy Alpha and who also want the wireless charging backplate, I am here to confirm that the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy Alpha does fit with the official Samsung backplace and it does charge. The fit is snug however, the lip does cover it as if there was no extra thickness. I have three other covers from Korea and they all aren't able to cover the phone with the wireless charging backplate. I am glad that it works.
For those who never used this brand of cases, make sure to leave on the plastic ring part and don't try to do it in two stages. I thought I had to put the rubber part on and then the ring, however, if you do that, you will most likely break the ring. Instead, just put the phone in the case all at once.
will the official extended battery work with this ?
No, I don't think so. The extended battery requires a special modified case because the battery is too fat and the official charger plate requires the regular battery, as there is no room for a bigger battery. However, in this case, I would recommend getting one of those internal pieces that you can put between the battery and the cover and attach it to the right spot, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-SlimPWRcard-Receiver-Samsung-integrated/dp/B00QMIM6EM
I have never used it, but I assume it would work. The only reason why it might not is if it isn't long enough to go over the bigger battery, but I'd say it is worth a try. Qi wireless charging is fantastic! I am going to build one into a desk I bought at the thrift store.
