NFC with Moto style shell - Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers

Does Moto Z3 Play's NFC work while Moto style shell with wireless charging is clipped on the phone? I hope this motomod isn't too thick or something, i'm planning to buy a phone with wireless charging and NFC is crucial for Google Pay in my country and i don't think removing shell before each payment would be comfortable.

All of the Moto Style Shells don't inhibit the NFC at the top of the phone. Radio interference is one area that they are very concerned about when creating Moto Mods.

[Q] Are there any frame type cases for the Moto X?

Spotted this on the Razer site:
http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-accessories/iphone-5-protection-frame/
I've seen iPhone frame type cases, but was wondering if any such exist for Moto X.
What you are looking for, I think, is normally called a bumper case. The only one that I know of right now for the Moto X is this one: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/For...-Hybrid-Bumper-Case-Black-Red-MHC-XT1058-01C/

Moto G 2014 having Magnetic effect. Is there any health risk?

Bought a Moto G 2014 version. The 2 big speakers have high magnetic effect and pins/paper clips are easily sticking to both side of the surface near the speakers. This could be due to bigger magnets used by the bigger speakers. Will long term use of the phone have any negative health effect on face/ear/brain due to these magnets?
Hey... Do you know that magnets are used for healing pains in medical science.. And also many acupressure wearable uses magnets so dnt wry abt it... The worrying issus is about the SAR value.. And this is less than moto G 1st gen so Kudos to 2nd Gen...

It's been recommended by anonymous Government sources that a two layer tin foil hat be used as opposed to the normal single layer hat.

Back plate "shell"

Is the back plate (shell) easily changed out like the Moto G.?
Put my hands on the N6 for the first time today in a T-Mobile store, the N6, is an overgrown Moto G (2nd Gen.)..very, very similar..would be KOOL, if the back plate changes simply, in a few seconds, like the Moto G..or is it complicated like the Moto X (1st Gen.).?
The T-Mo store had the N6, strapped/cabled down..and could'nt even look at the back side of the N6..

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!
The Moto G was designed to have a removable back cover, the Moto X's and the Nexus 6 weren't. The Moto X 2013's back cover is held on by clips, so removing it and replacing it while not exactly easy is fairly doable. The Nexus 6, the back cover is held on by adhesive, which would probably make changing it out a bit of a problem.
Full teardown here
You also have plenty of D-Brand skins to choose form if the look and feel of the back is not what you want.

Leather Folio Cover w/Wireless Charging

Is this available? I know LG said wireless charging will be available with the folio covers but all the pics I've seen match the plastic battery covers. I hope we can get ones that are leather. I personally love the brown leather.
I asked LG yesterday, still waiting for an answere

Yeah, It would be silly for them to not include wireless charging. At the very least, they should make something we can enable; like with the S5

From what I know it's something you have to enable since it doesn't work straight out of the box, like the S6 can. You'll have to get a backplate or a wireless receiver (which is pretty much a sticker you put on top of the battery). I know I've seen these receivers for other devices, like with my S3, but I honestly don't know if there was one for the G3. If so, I don't see why someone wouldn't make one for the G4.

"wireless is out of the box on the G4, like the G3", ( it's simply not enabled by defaut ) you just need a backcover that has it , there is nothing to put on the battery to get it working , i have the G3 , it has wireless by defaut like the G4
just have a look on the net , ( google ) : check this out
this is an LG G3 back cover that enables wireless charging for US users , US G3 did not come with it by defaut , international ones yes ( D855 )
the G4 only has NFC by defaut , that's why i'm guessing LG will make a leather and plastic back with wireless charging as well , like they did on the G3

It's a separate back cover. When it's built in, it literally works straight out of the box, no separate case or whatnot is needed to add to it, isn't the case with the G4.
It has the pins, from pics I've myself seen (see link below), like my S3 has so you can enable it with those special back covers and receivers.

Perhaps some places are offering the wireless back cover when you get the device, but this doesn't apply to all, so not by default. Unless you luck out with that kind of deal, you will have to spend the extra money if you want to actually use wireless charging on this device.

I have wireless charging on my VZN LG G2. When charging the battery/phone gets a bit hot. As I noted above it looks like the folio is only plastic. I wonder if LG thinks the leather will dry out or not stand up to the heat... or maybe the leather back with the stitch won't stay on the charger (it falls off)?

how long til the phone begins to heat up?
No long. Just surfing the net gets it warm.
I can say that the current circle case does not have the charging circuit in place. This is a unit that snaps over the current back rather than replace the back cover. Seems sprint, best buy are selling a Circle case and telling people it supports the wireless charging. Even sprints insert in the the clam shell says so. Either way $50.00 for the non NFC/Qi case seems really high.
wireless charging through folio leather backed G4's
I can only speak from personal experience, here in the UK experimenting with QI chips purchased on eBay for a few pounds each for my LG G4. Using the genuine LG QI foldable charger I have had no problems getting my handset charging with the original plastic backs, once the contacts on the chips were aligned correctly. I can not however get my handset charging wirelessly with a chip fitted to the genuine LG leather back, the problem seems to me to be that the leather backs are slightly thicker than both the standard plastic backs and the quick circle back, meaning the sender and the receiver are further apart, all be it only a couple of millimeters this seems to make the difference between success and failure regarding charging wirelessly. If with either quick circle case or plastic back fitted I place a few pieces of card between the back of the phone and the QI charger to simulate the increased thickness of the leather back, charging stops.
How is your experience with qi and leather cover?
I've bought some cheap reciever sticker which didn't work with the cheap 1 coil charger pad. But with 3 coil pad it was possible to charge it for some days. But since some days I don't get any conncetion even with 3 coil.
I've read qi is for 5 mm distance only acc. to standard and I think distance in real may be a bit higher. But this doesn't explain why it worked some time with 3 coil and later on not. Is it possible that I have destroayed the receiver? I've tried to re-positionthe sticker several times (because NFC didn't work), but I don't see any damage.
Only the receiver itself was sticked to the cover, I didn't usw the additional sticker with alu foil. May have this caused some damage?
Meanwhile I've ordered a plastic cover with built-in qi receiver. If this is working long time I'd like to order leather with built-in qi receiver, but only if you could confirm that leather and qi receiver is working since more than a few days.
Just so you know, I had 1 of those plastic covers with built-in qi receiver, but beware the quality... I found it was affecting the NFC function (we use it for public transport here) and to some extent WiFi... switched back to stock back and those issues were gone

General Dual Launchers on Vivo X Fold

I'm just curious has anyone attempted to run dual launchers on the Vivo X Fold? Like Niagara or Square Home (Launchers for tall phones) on the exterior screen but when you fold it open, you have something like a Win-X Launcher on the interior. Just trying to gauge the amount of work that might be required to pull this off, before biting the bullet and purchasing the X Fold S/+, once it hits the market. For more clarity, I'm looking to do something like this -
Wow, looking good, hope someone here will try it and hope it working
