Qi Chargers for the Nexus 4

[goldentuna]

I got given a Maxwell Air Voltage charger for Xmas and it works like a charm, seems to charge about as quickly as on mains.

Bright blue LED not ideal, but the charging area is large enough that you can hide it with the phone.

When not in use it makes a ticking noise, not something you'd notice unless you have it near your head though.

Whet can we find these? My searching hasn't turned any up.

Got one of these as a gift: QW201 | Time & Wireless Charging Station | Digital Clocks | Digital Clocks | Oregon Scientific Official Online Store | USA

It is a great charger! No problems with the N4.

Now this is something I will buy!

There is one major issue with this charger. It stops charging when you hit 100%. I left it overnight and I think it was at 85% when I woke up. In theory its great but it has to be able to hold the charge at 100% and this charger won't do that.

hmmmm so it won't keep it at 100%? That's strange.

 

[RustyU]

Odd indeed.

Mine stops charging at 100%, but will start again if it drops too much.

Pretty hard to find ANY qi chargers right now in the US.

Guess I'll wait and pick one up later.

That's what I wanted to find out... I was at an ATT store today and saw the Nokia pad and put my phone down and started charging and was stoked because surprised it worked and also using a cruzerlite TPU case. But it kept going back and forth between showing Charging 75% and battery 75% and wanted to see if that was normal or should it just constantly say Charging. Too bad because it's a really nice looking base and for $50 not bad

Correction, does not work.

It'll say charging, but it will keep going on and off. Does not "hold" it charging.

I purchased the Maxell Air Voltage charger for my Nexus 4. It charges the phone just as fast as the wall charger. But I turned my phone off last night before going to bed, and placed it on the pad to charge. When i woke this morning, the blue LED was still lit on the pad, I picked the phone up off the pad, and the phone was hot. Not at melting point or anything lol, but hot to touch on the back. Turned it on, and the battery was 83%
So my conclusion is the pad is only good for charging the phone, then once the pad turns off, you should really remove the phone. As the pad isn't designed to 'trickle' charge devices, to keep them at 100% charge? Am i right in thinking this ?

This eBay seller has "more than 10" Energizer dual station units available for Buy-It-Now price $59.95 plus $8.05 Priority Mail shipping.

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.

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

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.
