Qi Chargers for the Nexus 4

got my Zens charger and just set it up. Works great even with the Kay's Case I have on the phone. For the money I don't think you can go wrong.
Does your Nexus ever show "Charged" when on the Qi charger? Mine seems to quit at 98%. Not a big deal but I am wondering if you are getting the same result.

That's my experience, too. I'm good with that. If it said "Charged" would that mean it was fully charged or overcharged? I feel confident that the Zens is not overcharging the phone, which is a good thing.

I was surprised to see mine show Charged this morning after a couple phone calls while placed on the charger. I was able to do it again this afternoon after running around doing some errands. It will only show charged for a couple minutes before the Zens charger shuts down. This is why I don't see it when I wake up.
 
This may seem like a stupid question but does the device (Nexus4 of course) need to be on in order for Qi wireless chargers to work?
 
1) It's for an iPhone
2) It's not available
3) For that price, it's probably only a cover. If that.

It comes with a cover to allow an iphone to work with the charger. For that price, they got bought quick by people over at xda who just use the base to charge their nexus 4s. It's ugly, probably isn't the best quality product out there but it does charge a nexus 4.
 
I stand corrected. I couldn't make out the product from the smallish picture on the original link and the technical information was weak.
 
Anyone....anyone? Bueller?

When I put my phone on the Zen's charger, the blue light on the charger came on but the screen on the phone did not light up. When connecting a USB plug into the phone you get the screen lighting up with a battery icon so it might not work.
 
When I bought this TYLT • VU • Wireless Charger the shipping date was supposed to be 4/1/13. Now it has been pushed back to june. They didnt even bother to mention that to those that had pre-ordered with the old ship date. I was not happy about it.

Just as a side note that might be of interest, I've had the Palm Pre+ and Pre2 and used the Touchstone inductive charging puck, and if the phone was off when you put it on the stone, it would come on and stay on as long as it was on the stone. Just an fyi...
 
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.?.

Just bought the lg wcp-700. Should have it later this week. Was a bit concerned about the loud beeping? Can you charge it with a skin on the back glass?

Yes and if the beeping is too annoying you can break the speaker inside pretty easily
 
Got my LG WCP-700 Charging mat today! I had a Seidio surface case with metal kickstand and switched to a Acase superleggera case to see if it would work and it works like a champ. I have it in my home office so the beep is not really that loud. (I could see if it was in the bedroom how it could be disturbing). Overall I am pretty happy with it.

Now just to get a receiver pad for my Note 2!
