I've managed to slide the 3 point UK plug off without any problems but can someone please tell me how to swap the British connection for the European 2 point plug connection please??
Hi,
That is clearly the wrong plug adapter. It looks like just a standard travel adapter that you plug the UK plug into or something (making the charger stick further out from the wall)? If anyone does know where to get proper interchangable adapters please let us know - I have the same problem with having a euro plug (which looks the same as your top one but with the bottom one's prongs) and wanting an NZ/Australia one. You can buy a travel adapter set from HTC that includes all of the plugs, but it also includes another charger and is rather expensive (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=196228&phone=196001). It's actually cheaper to just buy one of their new style ones it seems (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=201954&phone=196001).
Alternatively you could buy a 3rd party microUSB charger - just make sure the charger is rated for 1A or it will charge slowly.
edit: Looking carefully it looks like you might have the adapter plug for the new style charger rather than the old style charger - the plug on the picture looks rather similar
Sorry I can't be more help,
Regards,
Anthony
Ahh I see. I think I'll just stick with the 3 point plug and get another travel adapter.
Can't believe Orange have sent me the wrong kit.
Anyway thank you so much for taking the time to post. Appreciate it.
Hello,
I live in the UK, but my Nexus Wireless Charger (square one, not the Orb) was purchased in America. (a friend of mine sent me an early Christmas gift) The Nexus Wireless Charger power adapter is made up of two parts - the actual power brick, and the tiny plug insert that goes into the wall. Any of you guys know where I could possibly obtain the insert for UK wall socket so I do not have to carry around a separate plug converter? Also, since US uses tiny little prongs, the power brick keeps falling out of my converter when plugged in vertically... so I would much prefer to have the UK insert. I emailed Google, but unfortunately they do not sell the part (OR entire power adapters separately - I'm willing to buy an entire power adapter, just as long as I don't have to carry an extra converter) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt you'd find just the plug insert. Your best bet is to just buy a UK usb charger with a 2A output. Something like this:

The Wall charger should be able to accept [email protected] 50 and 60Hz. All you would need is a changer to change the plug type similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Bright-3-Pron...id=1386882613&sr=8-4&keywords=uk+plug+adapter
Thank you guys. On an other thread I saw that Google ships this charger with the American plug regardless of where in the world it is sold..... So I guess more people will have this issue before long.

I've received my universal Qi wireless receiver today. The receiver is smaller than I had thought and fits perfectly into the Moto G. Since our phone lacks internal preparation for Qi (like it can be found on the Samsung Note 2), the connection is made via a micro USB plug. The backdoor can still be clipped on without being disturbed by the Qi receiver pad or its flat band cable. Charging time should be about the about the same as charging the phone from a PC USB port that doesn't output more than 500mA.
This solution is obviously for those who don't need the phones usb port on a daily basis.
The adapter on the left picture (and in the video) is from ebay and is the one that arrived here first. I’ve changed the cable routing to remove the ugly bulge that was visible on my first picture. This adapter outputs a maximum of 500mA and can be purchased from ebay.
Make sure to purchase the "interface layout A, narrow interface up” variant.

17.Jan.2014 - The picture on the right shows an adapter purchased from DealExtreme, that arrived here yesterday. This adapter delivers up to 650mA and the flat band cable comes out of the lower side instead out of the backside which removes the need to bent over the cable.

Both adapters work well, so don't worry if you've already bought the one I've first reviewed. (I have both version in use on different phones)
Here is a small video that shows me placing the receiver inside the Moto G:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2WPjw-WaCI
Update 13.02.2014
From my testing I can tell the following:
1. An unrooted Moto G needs to be screen locked (I use the pattern lock type) or it will refuse to charge due to the missing pins. You can unlock the screen while it is charging as long as you don't lift it from the qi charger. (tested on 4.3 and 4.4.2, DE and FR firmware)
2. Root in combination with dubidu's tool makes it more straightforward but is not required.

Should you wish to buy an adapter for your Moto G, make sure to get the "narrow-interface up" variant

Nice. Can you tell us where you got it from -- is it just one manufacturer making these?
Cheers.
I just bought it off amazon (hooray rewards card, it was free).

Theres a few on ebay if you just look up "Universal QI Wireless Charging Receiver film"

Thanks. I had looked on fleaBay and it looks like they all have the same packaging. I imagine any qi wireless charger thingy should work. In theory.
anyone know if this would work through an otterbox case? or I guess if this would even work with one due to the fact the part that plugs in sticks out a little bit...
I've bought it here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261348107126
The auction uses the same pictures as used in the amazon offer posted by JCBomb, might even be the same seller.
This is cool! I just hope there's like another way we can integrate that wireless charger.
Just saw your post at android.hilfe and started looking for some charger, it's indeed a neat solution.

Are u guys using this wireless QI receiver? I'm going to buy one next month, D: . Just for curiosity, how much time do u guys spend to get a full charge with the QI
Guys i found this one at dx.com
http://dx.com/pt/p/micro-usb-qi-wireless-charging-back-clip-black-253066
Those kind of product are not so great are chaging, basically it's almost the same power that if you charge through uSB = 500mA.
What you need to check is the charging value, sometime it's :
- 400mA or less (avoid it, will take ages to charge),
- 500mA (just like your regular USB charger),
- 1000mA (great ones, will charge just like a wall charger, twice as fast as the previous model).
So the one at DX is great, but they're cheaper on ebay, plus you can choose between Black or White - http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This one was the cheapest (around £15) I could find and works fine.

wow, so cool :good:
Am I the only one thinking about finding the plug they use with all the pins intact and integrating a micro sd card into it for OTG storage? Wireless charging and storage, all in one, and fitting under a case.
I had that exact thought about two hours ago. Throw NFC in their while your at it.
Sent from my XT1034 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I had actually started to do some verrrry preliminary research into something like it using a ribbon cable and another usb port, so you could plug the phone into a wall charger and have the usb/sd card piggybacked off the cable. Hadn't gotten very far though...job, kid, wife etc.......
Someone TAKE MY MONEY for it!! Especially since it seems we're all soon to be headed down the 'no sd card' path.
I just got a Moto G for my wife and Nokia Wireless Charging Plate DT900 is not working any ideas why ?
It's not working with one of the universal QI receivers? Have you try enabling the floating charging (see my post)

Hello.
The Moto G doesn't support Qi on its own, you'll need to rig it with an universal wireless Qi charging receiver.
You can buy them from ebay, dealextreme and some other china based stores. The first post contains a short installation video.
This one from dealextreme will work (Output up to 650mA):
http://dx.com/p/zy-408-wireless-charging-receiver-for-mobile-phone-micro-usb-black-259151
as well as this one from ebay (Output up to 500mA):

First generic ones that can be applied to any phone:
1: USB charging cable. The OPO's stock cable is WAY too short for me so Im currently look for a additional one. My old HTC charger don't seem to charge as quick.
2: Car charger and charging cable. I would use the same cable (buy it twice) and I need a car charger. It needs to be able to feed the OnePlus One while in GPS mode
Now onto OnePlus One accessories:
1: GPS window car mount. There are a lot out there. Im looking for one that is easy to add and remove to the window, sturdy and I can put the phone in and out quickly. Must be compatible in both portrait and landscape and obviously it must be compatible with the car charger above so I can charge and GPS.

For the car charger i suggest this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Belkin-...876?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e62c23fc
it's more than perfect for 7 euros and it has good quality also
a solution for car mount is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/361209224197?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT it doesn't apply on the window but i find it more convenient
For a 10' cable, I bought this (purple, yes), comes in many colors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JZHE3N4
Works really well for charging. Was recommended by someone else on the boards.
In the car I'm using this: http://www.scosche.com/usb-car-charger-dual-port with a stock cable.
Monoprice makes great cables, too, if you need one bigger.

Rip off of the centry?!?!
On eBay Its at 23.11 EUR and I still feel like it is a ripoff.
At this price, I would only buy one.
Alternatives?
StarTech.com sells one for about 11 euros...
The two things that most worry me are the cable and the dock. The charger is pretty much decided as I looked at revolt as well...
Still looking for car dock and cables...
I need a car mount, but I cannot stand how hideous they all look! Why can't we have a very clean car mount like the one that's built for the HTC HD2 or the Galaxy Nexus. See these pictures. This is what a car mount should look like. Nice and sleek!

I've had a mini 0806 hardwire kits (like one of these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=15&_nkw=mini+0806+hardwire) powering my dashcam for a while and was quite happy with it, so I decided to get the same one for my phone mount/Qi charger and while it supplies enough amperage to light a small LED on the charger it's not enough to actually charge the phone (and the charger works just fine with alternative power supply methods including the built in USB outlet and the cigarette lighter adaptors).
So I figure it's something in the converter that my Qi charger doesn't like and I'm after a better one.
Aliexpress has a variety of the converters starting from a little over $3 for a dual USB type which would be future-proof as I'd only need to replace the cable if I'll need to switch to a type-c in the future, namely Fulree and CPT-branded boxes: http://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesa...Country=CA&needQuery=n&isRtl=yes&isFreeShip=y -- scroll down half-way thru the page.
Anyone has experience with either of those? I was thinking of ordering both and testing them out, however it's PITA for me to have them connected so I'd rather install one based on another user's feedback.
Can you guys recommend either option over the other?
Thanks!
