[ozz101]

This is the back cover that came with my sprint LG G3. Is this cover Qi compatible?

I did get my circle case from AT&T today. And it does have the 4 pins. (just PMA sadly).

What do the four pins on the phone look like for your Sprint phone?

The 4 pins are on every G3 (the phone itself)

There are 2pin backs and 4 pin

The 2 pin backs are for NFC

The 4 pin backs are for NFC & Wireless Charging.

The base 4 pins (phone itself) are there so you can purchase a back cover with 4 pins.

Can you confirm that it will actually wireless charge with the PMA back?

This was directed at the guy who stated that he got a PMA back.

So does at&t or anyone else for that matter sell a compatible charging dock where you can set the phone upright (and not just lay it down on the charging pad)?

you phone wont be compatible with these battery doors shown (Qi), you'll need a PMA Wireless Charging STAND. Havent check PMA option, but I know Qi has quite a few of them.

Yes, all LG G3's have four pins on the back of the phone, but they have two different pin layouts.

Some have all four close together, others have the four pins spaced out more. You should check to see if the replacement battery cover you buy is Qi compatible, and if it has the four pin layout which matches your internal pins.

I heard AT&T has gone to great lengths to disable Qi charging in the phone itself due to them backing the PMA standard.

It has been confirmed over at XDA that AT&T has disabled Qi charging. Every user who bought a Qi enabled back wasn't able to charge it wirelessly. PMA is the only way to wirelessly charge an AT&T LG3.

Do you know of any other confirmations on the other US carriers? I plan on getting a Qi back-plate for my Verizon G3.

AT&T is the only US carrier that will disable Qi charging.

Thanks for the link, but I would rather get one with no logos other than LG's and for only $40.00.
