We have the pins for it but the backplate that ships with it doesn't support it. Nothing yet available.
yes and no. you have to buy the $60 dollar flip case from LG to be able to do wireless charging. then once you get the case you need to either buy LG's Qi wireless charging stand or another Qi charger.
yea i dont get it, europe version have the wireless charging, but they took it off for usa versions
so you have spend more money for back cover
The Verizon one says it has wireless charging built in

Just the carriers soaking you for accessories. The parts cost is about $1, so really, it's a no-brainer to include it.
Amusingly, Verizon is the only one not screwing their customers this way. Go figure.
This and lack of root are the biggest reasons I'm not buying one right now. Root will come, unlocked bootloader and all, it's inevitable. But I'm not paying $60 for a $1 feature. When I can get verified working parts for about $20 or so, without a flip case, I'll reconsider. Or maybe the ZeroLemon battery. I like it on my Note and they claim to be making one for the G3.

I got ready and capable mixed up. So unless there are verizon g3 phones in the hands of people we can trust and know what there talking about who knows? If the preorder site says qi charging ready that means you need to buy the back plate if it says capable that should mean it already has the qi back. If it just says it has qi charging I bet it won't have the back.

Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.
As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.
Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.
how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?
175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan
Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.
$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.
Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

eBay, search the topic and you will find pages of discussions and attempts to find the docks from google and/or Samsung
Yeah haha ^
You will be charged an arm and a leg, though. And Verizon ones tend to be more expensive. The docks originally cost $90 new, and now people can sell theirs and make at least that, auctions on eBay can take it up to $120+ and they only pop up every few days.
Best bet is to pounce on a buy it now as soon as possible, then you'd only have to pay $80 or so. Just make sure it's the Verizon dock if you have the VZW GalNex and vice versa.

I am looking to get one too. I don't want to buy the one of ebay. Anyone willing to part with their GSM pogo dock if they aren't using it? I'll offer $40. Or any tips on where I can get a used one in working condition? Amazon doesn't have any, Play obviously doesn't have them on sale anymore. Found a few with bundles on swappa, but seller wouldn't sell it separately. Ebay as mentioned above is shipping from UK and it comes out to like $90 with shipping.

And that's where I got mine ^ recommend him highly!
I'm embarrassed at what I paid for mine, and that was a used one on ebay plus I had to modify it for the toro. I needed it though I've been using a dock on my phones every night for the past few years and wasn't about to give that up. Trust me, these things are damn near extinct and the people who have them know that.
MonoPrice has a nice adaptor for the Galaxy Nexus. I can't post links yet (under 10 posts), but it's product ID 9291
I was thinking about making a dock that uses the internals from that part.
I saw a Verizon Pogo dock going for $180 on eBay the other day... Ugh I hate price gougers...

Nokia Wireless Charger on sale today at ATT stores - $5. If you get 3+ its 25% off further
I just picked up 4 of these for $16 with local store pickup.
If you're in the market for a wireless charger, this is a STEAL! Run, don't even think about it. Pretty sure these will be all gone soon.
Online is already sold out. So you'll need to enter your zip code and see if any local ATT stores have them in stock.

Yeah, when I checked online for local inventory, almost 10 stores all had them in stock. I ordered 4 but when I went to pick up they only had 3 in stock. Then when I got back to my office, everyone couldn't believe how cheap I got them for and wanted to order some too. So when we looked online for local pickup, ALL 10 stores were sold out. That was in a 2 hour timeframe.
Are they clearance'ing these out or something?
I bought 3 back when I got my N5. Great charger. I use one at work, sent one to a friend, and still have one in a box at home.
Back in stock. I just hit the link and saw these were still available.

One of the pins broke off of the SIM connector whilst using a SIM adaptor and I was wondering where I might get a replacement? I have looked online briefly and I can't really find much replacement parts for this phone yet, unless I am looking in the wrong places?
I remember this happened to my SGS I-9000 and the part only cost like £5 from eBay and was modular so I am hoping this one will be as easy to replace too!
**UPDATE: It seems that unless you are an expert with a solder (and I mean expert!) then you will not be able to replace this part since it is soldered on to the circuit board rather than a modular part, so I am putting a list of places recommended by posters where you can get your G3 repaired.

On a Google search, it seems that this is a common issue with these adapters, especially cheap ones, and other people have had the same problem too. I had figured too that due to the phone being new, there are basically no substantial source of spare parts that I can find as of yet..

You can try to claim from the actual store you bought it from rather than the LG warranty as that would be quicker but otherwise it's about a £45 repair from the sites that are offering it.
Actually, I never owned the phone but saw one on eBay that I was considering buying that had this fault but I really cannot understand why no one on here has bought the £5 LG G2 SIM part from eBay (as I had mentioned a month ago on here) to see if that one fits as if it doesn't work then you have not lost anything! That would have been the 1st thing I would have done if it happened to me as I am no way paying £45 for basically a ~50p part which I can just repair myself since all phones are modular these days.

Well, I have mine on 2 year warranty and will try to get it fixed through the authorized service shop first. Will see how that goes. If it is too expensive I will search for alternatives.
Just what it says on the tin there. I have a Qi charger that I used with my Nexus 5 no problem, but it's not registering the G3. Is it temperamental with which ones it accepts, is there a setting I need, or what?
Not sure about the T-Mobile model, but I am pretty sure you need to buy a separate back cover that supports wireless charging. I have the AT&T version, which not only requires a $40 back cover, but also a PWA charger, as it doesn't support QI standard. Stinking greedy US carriers!

Oh I see. So it SUPPORTS Qi charging, but it doesn't have it right out of the box. Okay, little dishonest on their part, but I'll go with it.

They aren't being dishonest. The US LG site says Qi charging is optional and T-Mobile doesn't list it as a spec. After the global version had it, a lot of American websites came out saying it had it and didn't mention it was the International version which isn't really their fault either. Carriers making a deal to not allow wireless charging out of box on their phones isn't ethical business practice though, but LG isn't at fault there either.
Anyonr have which backs and chargers they r using I dont want to buy wrong one
Do the backs that support charging add much thickness to the phone? Are they high quality material?
F400 G3 OEM BACK DOES NOT WORK on US Models
I ordered the F400 on eBay. Mistake. It does not work with the US variant. They moved all 4 of the pins needed for NFC and charge and added a gap as some have pointed out already. But just explicitly letting you know the F400 back won't work with T-Mobile version. The $10 sticker on Ali Express seems like the way to go. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/3GlBju Type 1 is most common for US variants like the T-Mobile D851.

They are the exact same thickness as the stock battery cover. So zero added bulk and the feel is identical to the stock one.
