Success in upgrading my TMobile LG G3 (D851) to work with Qi wireless charging.
Parts used:
- Choetech RX05 Quick Circle case, Amazon Prime, $15.99
- (not for G2, btw)
- ChiBot® CB1030 Qi Enabled Wireless Charger , led status indicator, Amazon Prime, $7.99
Used the LG OEM charger & micro USB charging cable.
Total cost: $23.98
Works nicely.
Project Discovery-
One must use a high quality micro usb charging cable. Any cheap cable will likely cause charging error messages on the G3 display.
Monoprice has a cable,
5456 1.5ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated), currently $1.02
Which I have ordered to test. The 28 awg is a smaller diameter wire used for data. The 24awg is a larger diameter wire used for charging/power.
Keep the cable length as short as you can. Else wise if you attempt to work with the higher current flows needed for Qi, the loss in a longer cheap cable will 'eat your lunch'.
