Verizon now has stock of the LG wireless charging pad for $69.99. Unfortunately they are out of stock of the Inductive charging door to work with the pad. Door is priced at $39.99 when available though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Sweet, kind of expensive though... $39 just for a door?
Do you have a link? I did not see it listed under chargers.
Do they make a door for the extended battery also ?
Door probably costs like a dollar to make -_-

Is there anymore information on this product? I came from a Palm Pre + that had this and I miss it very much.
I wonder if this would work? Its the inductive charger for the Palms, 14.99 or around 10.00 with discounts.

Maybe a dollar's worth of material, but add design costs, testing, employees, shipping, retail employees, and enough markup to make it worth bringing to market and the price Isn't unreasonable.

Seems silly to require a door when our current door supports inductive charing...
Our current door isn't compatible with a charging pad.

Yes, it would but it would take a bit of modding on the Tbolt in order for it to work. Its been done on the Evo.
Evo: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/h...rk-with-palm-touchstone-wireless-charger.html
The stock battery door looks to me like it may have a coil built into it. Granted I have never seen a door with a coil before, but it looks like there is some kind of grid pattern on the inside of it, and it also has the contacts that electrically attach the door to the phone. I suppose it could be a wifi antenna or LTE antenna also. Anyone know what this is?

pull the back off your phone. there are two contacts that touch the back door those are for signal boost of your phone.
Then just above the batter are these 4 pins that look like :: , from my understanding those are going to be the pins that an induction charger back touches to charge the phone through induction.

But, from what I have read here, there are two other contacts that are made for the inductive charging door. So... instead of buy the charging door from verizon, you can make one like they did in the evo post, except you won't have to open the actual phone up, you can just route the wire to make contact at those charging points.

When looking at the inside of the cover the one to the right is LTE+EVDO, left is GPS, and bottom is CDMA.
EDIT: Sorry, the one on the bottom isn't on the battery door, it's actually the bottom. Below the kickstand.
Maybe I'm an idiot but is it possible to power on your phone with the cover off?
give it a try....what can it hurt??? lol
yeah phone works fine..wifi works fine...all u lose is 3g and 4g data
Hm, I don't know if I can get by the fact the phone needs to be lined up right for it to charge. I routinely use my phone while it's charging, so having it lay there seems....like I'm not their intended market.
I'd imagine we're not too far off from having wireless charging that has some sort of radius around it. Man, I can't wait for that. Wires drive me mental.
I don't think our door supports inductive charging. When you go to www.Verizonwireless.com in the search bar type in inductive charging and the first query will populate the battery door. Haven't found the charging pad on their website but calling in to customer service will allow you to order one. Tell them you want LG charging pad as that the one that is required.

Its not an official Samsung Galaxy SIII inductive cover, but it is an official Verizon Galaxy SIII cover tho.
Verizon offer and has had them made for a couple of their devices actually.
Is it possible to get a picture of the underbelly of the battery cover. I know the Verizon variant has 2 additional pins near the sim slot that none of the others have. wondering which set of pins the Verizon cover uses. I'm assuming the lower pins making it useless for me anyways.
Samsung needs to hurry and release the real official inductive charging kit which works with ALL GSIIIs. Also an inductive charging car mount while their at it.

The inductive battery cover from Verizon definitely connects to the lower pins that are exclusive to the Verizon phone. It also connects to the standard pins that are on the other phones. I guess it is so the Verizon phones will work with Verizon inductive chargers as well as Samsung chargers.

The printing/part number of the VZW inductive cover, appears to be genuine Samsung.
Which is one feature i really would have liked.. but popping the back open, I see the two leads for NFC, but the two leads near the right side of the battery for inductive charging on the international version is not on the Sprint version.. sad panda face
-- UPDATE -- Successful mod
I had to order a Sprint specific backplate from ebay
So I got the Nexus Wireless Qi Charging Orb.. and I drilled two small holes in the spare Sprint backplate I had.. I then proceeded to use some copper foil, folded it up a few times, and placed them in the hole with the sticky part on the housing. I then made sure the bottom of the folded copper was down enough to make contact with the contacts on the motherboard. Closed it up and then placed the receiver in the holes with the copper foil. Placed on the Qi charger and boom.. Wireless charging..
I did it this way so I can replace the middle housing and it won't look like I modded the phone if I need to take it in for repair.. Also, I can charge it with the Seidio Surface case on.

similar to wireless charging, but you lay the phone on a Charing Mat, and without the cords, the phone starts to charge .
Though OP, you're saying that it can't be easily fixed, with a Replacement of the cover? is that it isn't literaly on the phone itself?

I dont know but sprint really *ucked this model up if they would have left it alone like tmobile we would have been fine Im looking for a solution to the wireless charging but i dont know if its going to be possible all because sprint wants to be different and difficult. Ive been with sprint for 15 years but my patience is wearing thin.
Im still going to attempt a wireless fix though
whats this need yall help
Can someone help me, I dont have the phone yet so im trying everything in theory, to get wireless charging going. so I have questions!
What is this box
Whats the box for it doesnt look like nfc or a speaker or a microphone so Im hoping its tied to some sort of wireless charging, maybe a cover with the charging pins underneath (wishful thinking)
Personally I think wireless charging is overrated. There's a cable plugged in somewhere to get the pad going. And you can't use the phone while it's charging. Well, inconveniently you can. And it charges quicker via a cable.
Here is my review video! I am a huge fan of the palm touchstone wireless charging mod and this is the best way to get it...
http://youtu.be/NGvyWBOQy0U
Nice, couple questions.
Do you use a case? I have an Otterbox Commuter and was wondering if that is thin enough to still register.
Also, will that back cover work on the Energizer Qi charging system?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the video!, few questions tho:
Does it work with a case (I imagine this will be a popular question)
Is the quality of the back cover noticeable different to the stock back cover? Or is it a completely stock totally 100% the same back cover with the wireless charging mod?
And what charging pad do you recommend?
Unfortunately I do not use cases as I just use a clear shield so I have no idea if it works with otterbox or any case.
This mod will not work with any pad. It will only work with the Palm Touchstone. I dont recco any pad as I only recco the touchstone. I like having one in my car, at the office and one on the nightstand.

I dont believe qi is the way to go. The new nexus has wireless charging like the touchstone. I wonder if its compatible?
probably not. afaik, each of these wireless charging is proprietary and most probably incompatible with each other. The touchstone will only work with touchstone products (atleast from what I understand, it's different frequencies and also component parts differences)
You are probably right but i hope you are wrong... either way i am so surprised more phones dont charge like this.

Click to expand...

Frequencies have anything to do with it. I'm pretty sure inductive charging uses magnetic fields to charge your device hence the giant coil in the phone cover. BUT, each base is most likely specific to it's counter part coil as different size coils will charge at different rates from the magenet in the base vs the amount of voltage and amps they put through the magnet. So it would make sense if a say Powermat didn't work with a Touchstone coil.
On the other hand, the touchstone uses a standard phone charger so it has a maximum of 5V at 1amp. I do not know what power source the Duracell Powermat uses (looked a little but didn't search long) so if it were to use a higher voltage at the same amps or higher amps at the same voltage then it may charger your phone faster.
NOTE: It should also be noted that if you use a different charging source with the touchstone base you could end up generating a different level of voltage and in turn damage your phone. It's not recommended to do this. The downfall (that I have found) with the touchstone setup is that it WILL charge through thin TPU cases and my Rock Quicksand case BUT the magnet is not strong enough to hold the phone in place. Since the touchstone is angled and not flat the phone starts to slide down and charging stops.
You can always switch out the magnets so your phone sits better on the touchstone. Its easy to change and it can make a nice diference.
Just ordered one. Touchstone rules.
@setzer715
that's an interesting read. thanks for clarifying the differences. I skimmed on articles about different wireless charging tech and remembered a few mentions of frequencies.
If only there is a standard that can adapt or provide compatibility with other methods... but that would probably drive up costs and probably extend r&d time.

One advantage is that the micro USB connectors are a weak point in the design of most cell phones. They often break or wear out. Given the extra contacts in ours, I like the idea of avoiding the wear and tear.
But it looks like this one doesn't follow the Qi standard which our phones support with the replacement back which was promoted so I'll pass.

(1) Universal Power Supply (100-240VAC)
(1) Owners Manual
You can also buy the case, powermat or portable battery seperately. The bulky wireless case is 34.99 , the 2 device powermat is 49.99 and power on the go is 49.99.
I'd prefer changing only the backplate instead of having a case around it, but I guess that if you only change the backplate and put a cover on top of it, it could very likely interfere with the wireless charging being to far from the charging mat.
Samsung's own wireless recharger should be available soon somewhere, and supposedly has coils 40 percent thinner than other charger out there, keeping the backplate as thin as possible. Although, I expect the price will be high. I am pretty fed up with all the asian designed cheap accessories ordered over the net for a fraction of the price.. so I wouldn't mind spending on something that i would use as often as a charger.
99.99$ could of been a deal, if the case wasn't so damn huge.
If they would have made a blue or black version I would buy this. Can't see putting a white case on my blue phone.. ugh
Still have to provide power to the wireless charger. Fail.
I'll keep it simple (and stylish looking... man that thing is an eyesore) and plug a cord in
I don't consider it wireless charging if we have to have a gigantic bulky ugly case to do so.
Here's a link to give you a better idea of a DIY wireless charger.

My solution
I guess }{Alienz}{ isn't going to reply. I'll tell you what I did for my wireless charging needs.
I purchased the Palm Touchstone wireless dock from Amazon for about $8 and a new SIII back cover, with a touchstone compatible module to charge the battery, from e-bay for $29 (the scumbag I bought my case from is now selling them for $99) Put that cover on my phone and it looks and works like normal (including NFC), but I can now charge the phone by just putting in on the Touchstone.
Works for me and $35 is hell of a lot better than $80-$100

That's real nice and really simple to implement unlike the hacks I've seen from a few month ago. But the hacks are cheaper, lol. It may even work with the flygrip I have attached to the back of my phone. It's just at 5mm.

I have a receiver and base on order. Receiver was $26 if I remember correctly. I'll post pics and write a review here when everything comes in.
Has anyone tried wireless charging on the OGP? Does it work with all standard Qi chargers?

I use the Nokia qi charger with nice but it's slow as crap because it's only 750 mah output instead of the standard 1.75A output. This is with using the flip folio case.

I see you have the AT&T version. Does it work with the regular backplate on? I haven't been able to find a clear answer if it does or not.

Yes the AT&T back plate has the conductor on it. I've seen it in videos. You can also pull out the pad carefully from the quickcover and stick it to the standard cover in the correct place and that gives your wireless charging.
I thought the att version supported wireless charging out the box?

It does, mine works fine out the box and with a thick case on too, using the LG WCP-300 charger (Verizon has it online for 39.99 with free shipping)

Does it charge as fast as our 1.8 amp wall plugs?
I'm using the Nexus 4 Wireless Orb. Kinda pricey @ $70 (after tax & shipping) directly from Google (or from Amazon) but it was worth it to me because it's angled so I can see the LED notification while still laying in bed as it's on my night stand. Also, since it's the wireless charging standard (Qi) to go by for awhile I figured I'll be able to use it with the next few phones after the OG Pro. If you have a non-slippery case (I've got a TPU one) then it should stay in place. However, I've heard otherwise based on reviews on Amazon & in the Nexus 4 forums with a slippery case (Incipio for example) or using the stock backplate (or OEM flip cover). Google states it'll take 4-hours (output on the Orb is 1.0-amp) to fully charge a Nexus 4 & it takes ~4 - 4.5-hours to fully charge an OG Pro. Charging time's insanely slow but I figured only time I'll be using the Orb is when I'm sleeping so I don't mind the extra charging time.
I also use the LG Electronics WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad. In fact, I bought 3 of them! I keep one at work and two at home. They work really well and the top is made of soft rubber, which is pretty cool. I bought them from Amazon for $49.99 each and now I wish I had known that Verizon.com had them for $40.00...oh well.
I'm using the LG WCP-300 and contrary to some previous posts, the AT&T OG Pro (E980) does wirelessly charge with the standard back. The flip/quick cover will also charge but I don't like those covers. (Got one for free from AT&T for pre-ordering the OG Pro but I seriously doubt I will ever use it.)
:good:

Just got the DT 900 wireless charging plate off eBay for 25.00 it's refurbished but works well. Loving it

I am using the LG model WCP-300. Works great. But I have noticed that the charging light on the pad continues to blink even after the percentage is at 100. I don't get the fully charged indicator in the status bar either. When I check the battery status in the phone settings it says that the battery is at 100 % also. Strange. Does anyone else have this issue?

When the motor activates and moves the charging coil, do you see lights moving on the pad's surface, or are the lights that are shown in the ads just to make you realize that something is moving unseen, underneath the surface?
Any idea how much juice this thing puts out? Does it charge faster, slower or the same as the G Pro's plug-in charger?
When you put two phones on the pad, I realize it will charge the first one that was placed, but will it automatically then move on to the second phone, or do you first have to switch it into some special mode to alert the charger that there will be a second phone to charge after the first one is completed?
On a slightly different tack....Don't know if it's any good, or if it's even out yet (I first saw it on Kickstarter), but TYLT has a pretty cool looking QI charger with 3 coils inside that supposedly allows you to place the phone on the upright, angled, stand in either portrait or landscape orientation, without the need to align coils to ensure that it charges.
All their products look cool, but I have no idea how they perform in comparison to other manufacturer's goods.

Mine is the opposite- I get full charge indicator and the light stops blinking. Whats more.. if I put the phone on the pad while it shows 100%, it wont do anything.

Fixed the issue by returning it. The replacement works as expected. Must have been defective.
