Qi Wireless Charger Receiver/Plate

I wish someone would come up with something like this that would make the Xperia Z Qi compatible...
So far they have it for the S3 and Note 2.
Just slot it in behind your battery and you are set for Qi wireless charging...
For us, it would have to be hidden behind in an external case though...
If only someone could come up with something like that for the Xperia Z, utilizing the dock connector ports and we can have wireless charging too!
The problem with the current Sony dock is that it is too tight fitting for most cases.

If you go in mobile fun you should be able to find one, sorry I can't post links yet!
I plan on getting one some point as I've got a leather flip which is basically identical anyway!

mouser have Wurth branded Qi coils with connectors (need to wire up tabs to the pogo I guess) that you could mount inside any other case.

at 12Euro they are a fair bit cheaper than the muvit case option..
I presume you can get a Qi base pad cheaper.

so, isn't there any Qi charger without case? I mean, I'd like to have my own one... never liked cases with covers and sh*t

I will check the polarity of both Xperia Z and Note 2 charging pins tonight when I get home. The spacing on both sets of pins is very close, if polarity is not switched around this means you should be able to use a Note 2 Qi pad under a case of your choice, provided you take some of the bulk off the contacts on the Qi pad itself.
Do NOT attempt to hook one up (if you have one), without checking the polarity first. You may short your phone and kill it.

Looking at that Wurth transmitter, I see a coil, with two leads coming off of that. My DIY electronics knowledge tells me that's positive and negative. However: for that coil to work, does one have to have a control circuit of some sort? Because, I mean, if I can modify a MicroUSB cable to plug directly into that (the two leads), I'll wire these things up everywhere...

Great mod, very interested in doing this! Have you encounter any problems are doing this? And what did you use to raise the point in the wireless card?

I've managed to get my XZ charging using a Qi baseplate and a receiver for a Galaxy Note2.

The receiver was a little expensive, as I thought it came with a charger plate.
I'll try and get some pics up later, but basically I've just hidden the receiver under my Casemate Tough case, and fitted the pins onto the charging dock connector on the side.
I filed down the pins so they would fit into the recess on the phone, but they aren't quite long enough to touch the brass contacts on the phone, so I've wedged a bit of stiff card down the side of the case over the pins to force them to keep touching the connector. I suppose someone who is good with a soldering iron could make the pins on the receiver longer so they touch the phone connectors when the case is on.
It's far from perfect at the moment, but as a bit of a hack and slash job, it works fine. The receiver is only rated at 500mah, which is a lot less than the Sony charger, so we'll see how quickly it can charge the phone.

Please tell me how

Anyone taken apart the Verizon version to see if the Qi charging can be switched out?

I'm just wondering if there is anyone that has seen what makes the Verizon version so special it has wireless charging. If it is just a simple pad, it could be added to the other phones too.
I'd like us all to have wireless charging.

There are some pics floating around, I think here or in some of the reviews.
But the Verizon backplate is different since the case is thicker to accomodate the Qi stuff. Youd need that new backplate. But another "rub" is that the buttons on the other variants are different size, so if you tried to put a Verizon backplate on an ATT phone you would need to modify the button and camera holes, and add one more for the noise cancelling mic.

Sounds like if the connections are there, it could be something a third part could manage. I'd definitely buy a replacement back with the Qi built in

I wonder if it's similar to the Note 2. I hacked that to have wireless charging based off an internet guide. Put in the coil, use copper tape as conductors from the coil to the battery, and voila. It worked with the Palm charger though, which I assume is different than the one Verizon g2 uses.
If anyone has a way to order the Verizon g2 door I'd be willing to crack my AT&T D800 open and give it a shot.
Hmm come to think of it I still have that Palm wireless charger and an extra Palm coil at home, anyone care to venture a guess if this would work, or would I end up frying something? This is what I used.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CMEIWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think you would fry anything... I just don't know if the room is there to fit it in the back nor where it hooks up.
Note: it might be better to leave the back off and use a case to hold the coil in

Here's what it looks like inside. This is the verizon version obviously. I don't know what the other versions look like, but I do remember a pic floating around here.

Here's what I do, It's a Nokia DT-900 stuck on an Ibolt Ilumina car dock and wired into a 12v plug. Works like a champ!
I had to take apart the DT-900 and leave the back off of it to make it thinner, then I used 3M mounting tape to hold it in place.
Also, the back is actually pretty easy to take off. Just start separating it with a fingernail on the side and then work your way around slowly.

there are still two pins on the AT&T and Tmobile version. I have a S4 Active with a wireless QI receiver in it. Basically the OEM charging back for the S4 has 4 pins like the verizon one but for my wireless charging only these two have to be connected. There may be a chance we can mod the wireless receiver to work with the QI charger. The S4 verison works great. I could be wrong though but it might be worth looking into to
Now the QI wireless receiver I have it a little thick but they have thinner ones available

The Korean G2 F320L I have has 4 connectors on the right next to the battery. It would simply need a wireless coil pack added from the F320 wireless charging cover.

Anyone been looking into this? I'm really excited to get a G2 but missing out on Qi seems like a pretty lame drawback.

The two pins seem to be connected or something on the back cover, could this be for NFC instead or is wireless charging actually in them?

I don't think those pins on the TMO variant are for wireless charging. They look like grounds for antennas to me.
Comparing the VZ to the TMO, the wireless charging looks to be missing. You can see the big coil on the back cover of the VZ and it's connected to the 4pin connector at the top left of the VZ phone. That same plate is missing on the TMO variant.
I know the s4 just uses two coils, but LG looks to use 4 of them. Doesnt look like it's possible with the TMO variant. Would love to see AT&T and Sprint though....but probably same as TMO.

Don't really mean to be super silly here but those super conveniently placed white/black wires seem to link the charging board and the mainboard where the battery plugs in.
Anyone here want to bite and pop open their back cover and take the plastic covers off and stick a multimeter to them and see if it'd directly connected to the battery or usb?
Dang, seems to be "antenna interconnects" according to a Nexus 4 tear down. Wonder why there's 2 on the G2 though.

External Qi Charging Coil

Has anyone tried one of these?

I'd be curious to hear your experience, I wonder how thick or fragile it is. I'd buy one to test but I am not in the US and would have to import it.

I ordered one a week or two ago. One of my wireless charging pads (which I didn't have any of, so I had to order a couple) arrived yesterday, but still waiting for the receiver coil. Hopefully any day now.
Edit: bah, I forgot, it's being shipped from HK; it'll be a while yet (the pads came from the US).

Awesome, I look foward to hearing your thoughts on it when you get it

They are pretty thin. I've never use one quite like that, but I used the external pads for the Note 2 that I retro fitted into my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus... and it worked extremely well.
I ended up hooking it up to the POGO pins and taping it onto the battery I had to do a little case modding to make it all fit in a normal Incipio Feather case (basically cut a back plate in half, but I had like 5 of them).
So it works really well. The problem I see here though is you are eating up the USB port all the time. With the thin profile cable, I wouldn't attempt to unplug it many times. Just leave it and forget it. Fortunately the G2 has a great battery. My Verizon G2 has this built in, and I Qi Wireless Charge every night.
The Coils are thin, but thick enough to forbid the use of a thin case like a Incipio Feather. If you use this, you are best off using a TPU case that is flexible.

player911 has nailed the situation. My plan is to 'switch over' entirely to wireless charging for the most part, and wifi file transfers -- I don't want to be unplugging/plugging the usb connector in at all. I figure one more charging pad (total 3) should do it... 1 at work, 2 at home kinda thing.
The eBay version of the amazon listing linked seems to suggest it will come with a case (the one pictured). I can't imagine why I would be asked to pick a colour otherwise black or white, when ordering. Yet both listings state "1 piece", so who knows. Will report what I end up with when it arrives. My S3 had the pogo pins so that you could use wireless or usb for charging but I never went that route at the time. The use of the usb port on the G2 did give me pause but I'm going to give it a go.

I would give it a go too. Perhaps temporarily until a internal solution pops up (bound to happen). Even if it doesn't come with a case, TPU cases are a dime a dozen.

Interesting. I look forward to hearing how these work.

I've received my coil from ebay, and "installed" it.
It is working fine, however my battery is almost full, so I can't test now the current. I'll do it later.

Awesome, thanks for the pics! BTW, what charging pad is it that you have there, with the green and red lights?

How thick is the coil? Do you think it is possible to fit it under the back cover? Because I'm planning to do that and run the cable through a hole I want to cut in the back cover so that I can plug it in the usb connector.

Eh that isn't too bad. Looks fine IMO. Besides you don't really need to use the USB port with the Wireless Storage option (awesome feature) and Qi Charging.
So if the port is unused, the also acts like a port saver to keep dirt and lent out.
If you feel lucky and want to further reduce thickness, you can open that package up and remove just the coil. The packaging is basically a thick plastic sticky back that is folded over. Removing the outer plastic housing will cut down 1-2mm. Inside the hard plastic cover, there is the actual coil that is in a black square sticker. The Coil itself is round. On mine, I removed the outer shell and trimmed the unused outside area around the coil. Creates a smaller footprint and gets even thinner.
My goal with my Galaxy Nexus was to fit it in a hard Incipio Feather Slim Case. As it is, any TPU case should work though.

it is thin, but I don't if there is enough space under the backcover, I've never removed it.
I'm still testing it, if my readings are correct it is charging the G2 with at least 400 mA.
Now I've moved it to check how much does the positioning matter.

I've charged it from 50% to 100% using this stuff, it was charging with ~450 mA

Qi is a slow charge. I use mine for my desk and nighttime charging.

400-450 mA charging current.

I've ordered two different kinds, one is the same as Wizard7 that purports 500 mA output and the other purports 750 mA output. I've received neither one yet although according to tracking, the 750 mA one is finally slated for delivery today. But it has a longer cable that I'll figure out how to fold or contend with.
While I fully expected qi charging to be slower, I have to admit I hoped it would be faster than PC USB at least. It would have been a decent solution if I didn't "lose" use of the usb ports but I guess as long as it charges overnight, I can't complain.

Sooo which qi chargers do you guys recommend?

Best wireless charging pad for leather + Qi/NFC sticker?

After installing one of these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
into the back of a black leather case, I've noticed that this phone/antenna is very sensitive about where you place it on the wireless charging pad. I previously had a Galaxy S4 that I stuck a wireless charging sticker into, but that was much more forgiving about where it is placed on the charging pad.
Both pads I have are single coil. Lots of people speak highly of the Tylt Vue, probably because it has 3 coils. There are other much cheaper 3 coil versions available, and even versions with moving coils that supposedly find the sweet spot automatically.
What is the best wireless charging pad to use with this sticker?

With Tylt Vu do you have to place phone in landscape/horizontal to get it to charge?

Doesn't seem to be a lot of talk on QI Wireless Charging Pads.. What you guys using, with success?

LG has come out with a charger specifically for the G4:
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-LG-Wireless-Charger-WCD-110/dp/B00XPTN0I2/
Looks identical to the one they had for the G3. Does anyone know if this charger (or any other charger) will allow the G4 with the Qi sticker to be easily and reliably placed vertically on the charger, so that there is no other fiddling around that is needed to find the "sweet spot" that is needed for wireless charging to connect and charge?

I grabbed 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Wireles...437331299&sr=1-6&keywords=Qi+Wireless+Charger been great going to grab a 3rd for the living room. Phone is always charged up when I leave the house.

Yea I did write a review since I was happy with it for the price it is great. I grabbed it since some other reviewer said it worked with the Otterbox G3 so I figured ok this should work then with the Otterbox G4 and it did.

Lots of people are having problems with their Qi Charging of their G4s. It happens to me too, where the device will just start freaking out midway through the night. SystemUI crashes and I the desktop keeps crashing to a black screen. After a few minutes off the charger, it will recover. I am not sure why it does this though. Charging is a hardware mod. So there has to be some charging software that is freaking out. I've had my Nokia Charger for years. It charges my Nexus 7 2013 and other devices I have. The only problems I have are with the G4... and it isn't consistent. Some days are fine, others are not.
Some have said different chargers work with better results.
I am really disappointed that LG doesn't have official wireless charging backs available (and not the stupid flip case). If you sell a phone with Qi able... sell the damn Qi enabled backplates. I am unsure if maybe I have a bum Qi Sticker, if it isn't aligned 100%, or if it is just the phone itself.
It seems to get stupid when I take it off and on a few times before I go to bed. If I just plop it down and leave it alone, it seems to do better. But if I check my emails in the middle of the night a few times, it seems to be locked up in the AM.

Do people with the official LG flip case have issues with wireless charging I wonder?

What are most of using? Woild you buy it again? If not why? What other if any would you buy? If considering any one brand but price is an issue, at what price would it be reasonable?
I like the TYLT Vu because its a dock and its colors. But its pricey imo, but at $30 would you buy it? The LG dock has gone down to $30 as well.
I also found the LG pad for $20 right now. Any good, worth buying or spending a bit more on another plate or dock?
Let me know your opinions, Im looking to order one really soon. My sticker should arrive this weekend.

These are some I am considering and comparing official LG Qi

Only official charging back is circle case.
Otherwise you would need to do as others have done and buy/ install nfc/qi chip sticker.

No. I tore off the flip cover just like on my G3. QI works perfectly on my G4. I only use the Tylt Vu at home & work, & I have a QI car mount (Choe) for my car. I've never had issues with either. The car charging is slow sometimes b/c I'm always on bluetooth streaming & have my Google navigation going.

If you have to connect something to charge, what's the difference between this and just connecting it normally without losing DASH charging?

maybe you just come home and put your phone on to wireless charging dock instead desk. And you dont care how long it will take to charge. I was on wireless charging on my previos phone (Nexus5) and it was perfect for me it feels good forget about charging.

I thought that I'd miss wireless charging, especially since I invested in Qi chargers in the house and cars but I found dash charge to be a LOT more convenient.

Same here. I thought I would miss qi charging, but I've been okay without it. I bought a couple USB-C docks for my nightstand and work desk. I'm not using dash charge on them but it charges quickly enough without it.

Purchased one of these and it arrived today. It's a bit picky with detection on my two upright wireless charging docks requiring it be sat at an angle, but it does work. Flat docks may work better. Charging time is assumed slower but I don't have an exact number. Last thing to note is the angled USB-C plug, you won't be able to pull it out without giving the ribbon cable some slack by moving the pad downward, so if you're using a case over the pad you may need to remove it on occasion as needed.

There is only one small strip (2cm x 0.5cm) of some sort of 3M adhesive. I haven't bothered taking the protective layer off to try it since it will be underneath a case and I anticipate having to move it to access the USB port anyways as I mentioned.

ok cool so it stays stable under the case without the adhesive. just ordered one. dash is great but the convenience of dropping my phone on a pad at night is great

Usability
Could you put this inside a case, and leave it in? Theoretically leaving the phone as a wireless charging device.
The question is: Would this work through a case? Would efficiency be decreased?

Depends on the case.I'll be putting mine between the phone and case. Its trial and error with thickness .though the manufacturer says i think like .2mm I'll leave it in all the time.kind of like a dust cover too

I got my hands on an ordinary flat charging pad and the phone properly charges positioned pretty much anywhere on the pad.

Cases typically aren't thick enough to prevent the system from charging unless the distance and position of the coils is already at its limit, like with my upright charging docks which were made with smaller phones in mind. Nicer and newer chargers will have multiple coils for better coverage. Case materials like metal however will prevent all charging through them, which is why wireless charging and NFC has been excluded from many recent phones. Increasing distance does decrease the efficiency but probably not to a significant amount in this scenario.
Certain cases will have tighter tolerances for fitting this device underneath than others. I would say the pad gets about as thick as a US quarter in the middle. You also need enough space around the USB port for the plug and ribbon cable. I will try the stock OnePlus 3 sandstone case once it arrives, but my current $3 clear vinyl case is fine, just a bit wobbly when laying on a flat surface.

Are you able to use the USB type c cable when you have the adapter installed?

You'll have to unplug it

got my adapter on Thursday.Got married Sunday and was out of town and in hotels for a few days so i got some good testing time with this. it works great. im using it with an anker qi charger. i have it behind a rubber case and i have no problems with it. it charges slow obviously but its stupid easy and at least with the anker qi charger there is a big sweet spot.

I must be missing something but this thing seems to me to be a power pack that you plug in via the sub port, however small.

It's a Qi compliant inductive coil for wireless charging

Ahhh. I though this small metal strip was all you needed. Should have paid more attention to it.

Just wanted to confirm that this wireless charging pad fits fine underneath the official Sandstone case from OnePlus. You will still have to remove the case to remove the plug to access the USB C slot, but other than that it works just fine.

Complete utter rubbish based on what it actually does:
1. Charges at only ~650 mAh rate (slow to hell, my USB PC & Laptop & Tiny client is faster then this, I can get up to 1400mAh with my set up(s) if not using DASH charge).
2. Can not plug OTG-USB, connect to a PC at will or use DASH charge if not removed.
3. Not all protective cases are ok with this external QI pad.
Based only on these 3, it's a complete fail...... and so on... until it is a complete and utter fail yet again.
Verdict: a total waste of money.
