I just ordered one so that my N4 and my wife's can spend the night together on the pad while we spend the night together in bed. Sort of romantic, don't you think?

I bought one for my boyfriend too and thought the same thing about romantic. Hope she liked it!

My Maxwell turns on and off as and when it needs to.

But why after 8 hours of my phone sitting on it, was the battery only 83%, thats what I cant understand..

I got tired of waiting and just ordered this one off ebay. I had wireless charging with my pre's and really miss it.

I have a similar problem with the Panasonic TM-101. It always charges to 100% then switches off allowing slow discharge on phone. Not a problem if I am using phone during day as it starts charging as soon as placed back on charger.
My work around at night is to have a mains timer switch switch the charger Off/ON at around 5am. This initiates another charge cycle. Start the day at or near 100%.

I have been using the charger a couple of days now. It doesn't like my tpu case I have figured that out. It does get it it close to 97 % and then shuts off. I haven't left it on there long enough after charge to figure out if it will kick back on at some point. This charging system seems to be a lot more finicky than the Palm system. I noticed though the phone does not get warm so thats a good thing.

Mine charges fully with the eBay "S- Line" TPU case on

**Ray Hsu** · 01-30-2013, 10:55 AM

I bought mine from ebay and it worked well, the charging time is about 3 hours to like 90%, which is all good.
the price is pretty good imo plus they seller is from canada and he ships to canada/usa pretty fast.

Which charger are you using?

**RustyU** · 01-31-2013, 12:48 AM

Maxell Air Voltage

Anyone interested in a Qi Car Dock?

**m733** · 02-01-2013, 10:35 AM

I like the design of TYLT VU as it says it is stylish. By the way when will the phone companies bring out phones with Qi circuit that already integrated in the phones? Isn't it time to do it yet? or wait for another few years just to see if it actually happens? No clue.

**VSG28** · 02-01-2013, 01:15 PM

One issue I see with the TYLT VU is that it has an output current of 1 A compared to the Nexus 4 wall charger that supports 1.2 A. This, combined with some definite loss during the wireless charging process, will mean much longer charging time.

Hi there, I brought a qi charging plate and it sometimes works with my case on a other times is doesn't. One thing I have noticed is that the phone gets really hot. The other night I was charging the phone with the case on and GPS and wifi enabled. The phoned display came on and the screen started flickering. Panicked, rebooted it and all seems OK now. Bit wary about using the charging plate now though

Induction will generate heat, it's unavoidable

Interesting wireless charging and stereo dock...

I just bought the LG WCP700 from Amazon (free 2 day prime shipping). The pad was basically new still plastic wrapped. It works perfectly with the nexus 4 like it was made for it. The rubberized texture and bowl like shape is perfect for the slippery glass back of the nexus. I have been trying to find this LG one for a while, but it seems like amazon has them for the time being. I've tried 3rd party brands but they are not as good as this one. The beep is not annoying at all (it beeps when you put it on, to know that its charging, and once when its done).

Are you asking when phones with built-in Qi compatibility (as opposed to having to use some sort of shell with Qi) will be released? Because the Nexus 4 (which is what this thread is about) does have Qi functionality.

I wonder if the NFC bluetooth pairing would work with the Nexus 4 as well. I suppose it could be set up to turn on BlueTooth when it detects the NFC signal and auto-pair?

**RickInHouston** · 02-05-2013, 09:10 AM

I bought the lg wcp-700 first. Works perfectly for me.

Then I bought the one mentioned above (Samsung Galaxy S3 / Note2 / ...) off eBay. It's much more finicky. What's wild is the magnet that will slowly move the phone to the middle of the pad. I can't seem to get it charging all the time. Maybe because the phone is already fully charged? I'll have to work with it some more.?.

Looks like the ZENS wireless charger is back in stock at shopandroid.com

Mine is on the way

Use 'Save15' at checkout like I did and Save 15 %, bringing the total somewhere around $41. A pretty good deal.

**mike9186** · 02-06-2013, 10:39 AM

Thanks Fearless. I just picked one up a Zens at shopandroid.com and used the save code and it worked! I picked up a car mount too so I'd get free shipping.
