[VIDEO] LG Optimus G Pro - Using the Google Wireless Charging Orb and Other LG / Nokia Chargers

[chrisngrod]

This thread will have to start out with just the WCP-700 by LG (which is commonly found at Verizon Wireless) and the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger (aka the Google Wireless Charging Orb).

My cord for the Nokia DT-910 was modified for use within a vehicle and the DT-900 cord (which is the same) is at work.

Thanks for the video. Just looking to grab a cheap DT 900 or WCP 700 now!

No problem. I like the atmosphere over here. Seems a little bit more friendly than XDA?

Added Nokia DT-900 and DT-910.

Definitely don't get the DT-910.

How do you feel about the LG wireless pad. I read it uncontrollably beeps at night and that it stops charging once at full charge.

Oh... I hated it...

Lol...

I will not be doing that. Lol. I just want something that works right out of the box. Would you say the nexus is best? I read a lot of posts saying the angle at which it stands is no good and the phone constantly loses balance and is very hard to place at the correct angle. And this was with a smaller nexus 4. I'm thinking the Samsung wireless charger will probably be the best for the LG optimus G pro. Opinion on that?

The LG charger is $68 on Verizon and has decent reviews.

The Nokia is cheaper.

My local VZ store has the WCP-300 for $40. I am gonna pick it up after I get my OG Pro on Thrusday.

Google Orb is what I keep by my bed. Seems to work fine with this device. Angle hasn't been an issue.

Keep in mind that the output of the DT-900 is 3/4s that of the LG WCP-700 or WCP-400 (Google Orb).

Good call, $40 is not a bad price.

Added WCP-300!

Saw a review stating the LG and google chargers have a 1 amp output & the nokia is about 750 mA. The normal travel charger is rated at 1.8 amps, So going wireless will slow your charging time- some more than others.

Pretty sure I stated that in one if not all the videos. If not though, shame on me.

I believe I found an app that gives pretty accurate readings on charging current. I'll go through all of these charges and show you guys how they fair versus the supplied LG Travel Charger and the 2A output Samsung charger (included with S4).
