[Questions] Regarding the D855 LG3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning.
Im interested in purchasing the LG G3, the version on my country is the D855.
I also want to buy a wireless charger, but does the D855 already have the wireless chip built in the back cover?
And does anyone know a good charger that isnt the official LG G3 wireless charger?
Thanks

No it doesn't, but you can buy the quick circle cover which replaces the back cover too, and that has wireless charging.
As for chargers, I can only give you links to what I've read about as I've never used any.
Anyway, here they are:

I saw a video on youtube of someone unboxing the D855 and he said it comes with wireless charging built in.
I dont want to buy the quickcircle case

I own a D855 and a wireless charger. I do not use it currently, but I have checked and it works.

LG D855 does indeed have Qi wireless charging right out of the box. I currently use it with LG's Qi charger.
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771886

My D855 has wireless charging out of the box (with the standard backplate). I've used it with the LG charger and a Qumox wireless charger. They work generally about the same standard, but make sure you use a charger with a higher amperage such as the one that came with the G3 (1.8A or higher).
One trick I have found to make the G3 charge more reliably when using wireless charging is to have the phone unlocked when placing it on the charger and tapping the screen once it says "Wireless Charging" to stop the screen from timing out automatically. Then leave the phone for a couple of seconds then double tap the status bar to turn off the screen yourself. I find doing it this way avoids the infinite loop of beeps and notifications when done normally (which LG seriously needs to fix)

[Q] which wireless charger works well with the G3?

Is anyone using a wireless charger that he would recommend for use with the G3?

I've got two noname QI chargers, which worked with a Nexus 4, Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5, but don't seemt to work with the LG G3. Really annoying. It starts charging for 3 seconds, then stops and starts again. Also the G3 is really picky on how you place it on the charger. If its off by half a centimeter it complains and tells you to center it correctly.
The best one I've used, and the one my phone is on right now, is the Tylt Vu.
http://www.tylt.com/vu/
As far as I can tell, there is no way* to place it on the stand and not have wireless charging working properly.
* within reason

Looks great but it is £80 here in the UK. Does it work with a case on?

it seems to be hit and miss, I have one that fails exactly as you mention, but another I bought for a Note 3 from ebay that works fine. The working one isn't fussy about placement either. it's a bit ugly though

$70 or $100 on Amazon.... both a bit more than I'd like to pay.
I bought an "Expower(R) QI" of Amazon, arrived yesterday, sent back today. Same problems as other people mentioned above.
I also bought an "DiGiYes® 360 Qi" car charger, this works great, no problems with positioning at all. It does say on the box that it's an uprated 3 coil version, so I'm wondering if that's what you need to get to work with the G3, and that single coil Qi charges will be a waste of time.
I have this 3 Coil wireless charging pad bought from ebay and I can't charge the G3. I get the start charging loop. It's working well with Nexus 7 and my former Note 3. I really wonder if LG WCP-300 can charge the G3.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-WCP-300-wireless-charging-pad
I have the LG WCP-300. Encountered disconnects and constant notification to "place phone in charging zone" messages.
I've tried the official samsung Galaxy s4 one and it doesn't work.
Got this two days ago,works fine.

One thing though if you want your phone to charge when vertically tilted,you will need to raise the base by about 20 mm
I don't want to make a new thread, but can anyone recommend a good wireless charging pad that can charge the g3 and eventually moto360 simultaneously?
Aren't they all the same like an universal chargers?
Or some models have more ampere and charge faster?

Impossible to know.
I got the following:
http://list.qoo10.sg/item/QI-WIRELESS-CHARGING-PAD-RECEIVER/413308734
the A6 model which I believe is a copy of the Tylt Vu and it works flawlessly. It charges the phone vertically or horizontally even with my Spigen Slim Armour case on. Never had issues with phone placement as well since the design of the charger ensures you get it right.
http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-qi...mah-capacity-power-bank-white-us-version.html
Got this, nice with an integrated battery , is large but less then G3, I ordered in amazon the base model without battery but they sent me this one, then good price!
Charging is slower then original cabled ( output 1 A )
I have the Nokia DT 910 and the LG WCP-300 charging pad. The LG pad charges the device but triggers this weird "place device in center" message (see other threads). The Nokia DT 910 (and guess all Nokia chargers) don't trigger that message and charges the g3 nicely (but slowly, I believe it's 0.7 A)
Has anyone in the US tried this one? amazon |.| com/Aukey-Wireless-Charging-Qi-Enabled-Blackberry/dp/B00JW9S3KE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405001468&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Aukey%C2%AE+Swiveling+Wireless+Qi+Power+Charger+Pad (sorry, not enough posts to have links)
Also, amateur hour question here, but what else would I need to purchase for the wireless charging to work on my AT&T LG g3?

Wireless charging

Hello,
I'm trying to set my g3 up with wireless charging (too many wires around my desk!) but im having problems.
I have the quick circle case, which I thought had wireless charging built in. I then bought the following product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M9TBTDM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01 hoping they were compatible.
I am thinking either the quickcircle case is only compatible with the official lg wireless charger? I never actually use the quick circle case anyway, just tried it for testing purposes. Would something like this from ebay enable me to use my normal back cover, to work with the type of charger ive listed above? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QI-Wirele...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2ed969a5c9
I have the F400L Korean model.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam
Have you got the snap-on or the replacement backcover variant of QuickCircle? If former, then you can't use it for Wireless charging IIRC, if the latter, check how many pins there are on the inside of the cover, if it has only 2 of them, then it has only NFC compatibility and no wireless charging available, if it has 4 of them, try to carefully align the device so the center of the device is aligned with the logo on your charger.

Hi, I have one that replaces the back cover, it has the 4 pins, I tried moving it over all parts of the charger, there were times when the phone would begin to charge, but this only lasted for a split second. But as I said above, im not keen on the quick circle case anyway, would much prefer to get it working with the regular back cover
will one of those stickers from ebay work to attach to my back cover? the listings suggest they dont work for my model; "QI Wireless Charging + NFC Antenna Sticker for LG G3 D855 VS985 D851 LS990"
Try swapping your USB cable and make sure your power supply is rated to put out at least 1.8 Amps.

Q I charging problem

I picked up an lg QI dock and tryed to let the g3 charge off it. Would not work. So found out that the us versions of the g3 do not have the correct back to work on qi dock charging. bought a replacement cover and then tryed to use dock.
the phone would go into charge mode for a few seconds and then stop charging. tryed moving the phone in differant positions and still no charge. then one night the phone charged, but it is intermitant. Is there something Im doing wrong?
thanks
The original back cover should of worked right out the box, I think the wireless charger is defective you have, try another one.

Qi chargers vary in signal strength and have an effective "transmission range" that is dependent on how thick the case of the transmitter is and how thick your phone's case is, if you have one on it. If you have a case on the phone try taking it out before you charge to see if that helps. Otherwise you may need to look for a "stronger" charger (they should have "transmission distance" or "charging distance" listed and anything 5mm or less is useless in my experience).

The US versions do not support wireless charging out of the box, as the OP said. I am waiting on a replacement antenna to handle both NFC and Qi, myself. I really got spoiled to the wireless charging with my Nexii 4 and 7...

Who has tried wireless charging, and is it still working?

There are numerous threads on people's experience with wireless charging, mostly involving the stickers to use, meltdowns with heat, etc. I would like to compile people's experiences.
If you do have experience, please comment on:
1. Did you ever get it to work to your satisfaction? If not, what was not satisfactory about it?
2. How long did it last? Or how long have you had it working?
3. What qi charger do/did you use?
4. If it broke down, what happened and did you ever get it working again?
5. What model of G4 and/or carrier do you have?
Also, there's a quick poll associated in this thread.

This one, it was basically the cheapest one I could find June 2014. Once the phone is charged you can see the light cycle on and off just maintaining 100%. Works fine for a bunch of devices and I don't notice if it's slow as it has 8 hours to charge when I sleep.
CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRBFMZM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_WNViwbW7EJTDK
I purchased this plastic replacement back that came with a qi sticker. I used it mainly with this CHOE 3 coil charger, but also tried it on this Yootech one, and this one as well. On all three chargers, the phone got super hot while charging. So much so that at one point my phone even froze up and I had to pull the battery. It may have been the qi sticker that came with the back I bought, but I stopped wireless charging after about a week, because I just didn't like how hot it got.
I'm thinking of picking up another qi sticker, but just can't decide which one is the best.
I'm using the official LG qi charger and the quickcircle cover with qi built in. All working but i find plugging in faster so basically just end up using that instead..

I've found that exact placement on the charger can affect the charging temperature dramatically. I think if the sticker is a little ways off from the center of the qi charger (wherever that is, not sure how that is determined on the 3 coil), it heats up a lot more.

Yeah I tried my best to make sure it was right in the center, but it seems no matter where I placed it it would get hot. Plus what's the benefit of having a 3 coil charger if I have to place it in exactly the right spot? I think there is definitely something wrong with the qi sticker I'm using. If not, many others would be having similar issues. I'm using fairly widely used chargers.

I never felt comfortable using the Qi charging after hearing the noise my phone made when I set it on the charger. I have multiple brands of chargers and all produce the same noise from the phone's speakers (youtube link below). I've tried with cases and without cases on all my chargers.
Here are my qi chargers:
1. Itian Qi Standard Wireless Charger
2. Axiong Qi Wireless 3-Coils Stand Charging Pad Stand Dock Wireless Charger for Qi Phones
3. Tmvel T2 Wireless Charger Charging Mount Cradle Stand for all Qi Phones, with Wide Charging Area for LG G3, Nexus 5, Nexus 4,Nokia Lumia 920, MOTO Dro
4. Tmvel Qi Wireless Car Charger Dock for Qi-Enabled Devices
5. Nillkin Energy Stone For Nokia Lumia 920 1520 Lg Google Nexus 4 5 LG G2 HTC 8x DNA Simple Fashion Wireless Qi Power Charger Charging Pad + Leevin® NF
6. PowerBot® PB1020 Qi Enabled Wireless Charging Pad Station for All Qi Standard Compatible Devices Including Samsung, iPhone, Nokia, Google, Nexus, LG,
7. Ruix Wireless Charger -Qi Enabled Charger - White

So an impressive 50% of folks on the poll at this time have had it crap out.
Wonder if the V10 will have this issue too? I'd consider switching to that, but the G4 is big enough already for me.
1. Works as expected
2. Have it for a week now
3. PowerBot
4. n/a
I'm using the official LG G4 CFR-100 cover btw...
After reading about wireless charging, maybe it's the reason why the feature was removed from phones released in my country. We got a dual sim variant where wireless charging was removed totally.

Wireless charging was removed from dual sims because the circuitry for wireless charging is replaced by that of the second sim.

1. Yes, it worked perfectly.
2. I only use the wireless charger at work and I started noticing issues after the 12th work day. Today is the 13th day and it is no longer working at all. When I power off the device and stick it on the charger, the charging light briefly indicates it's charging and powers the device on and then goes back to the idle state.

The T-Mobile store can put in for a warranty exchange, if you initially bought it with them. But then you get a refurb. It's $20. Alternatively, you could send it in for a factory warranty, but it'll be out for several weeks. And then after you get it back, the wireless charging will break down after a week or two. Ridiculous, right?
I think it's endemic with our H811 model. I wish this could be as big as Antennaegate, forcing LG to admit their poor design+engineering, but there aren't enough users to raise a stir.

I just had an online chat session with LG Support and since they only officially brand their Qi case for Verizon phones they are telling me that the T-Mobile model is not compatible with wireless charging and there's nothing they can do. I got this phone off CL so going to T-Mobile is going to be difficult. I purchased the LG G4 back on release day day but returned it so I was going to use that receipt with LG Support but it looks like that's a dead end.
Another question you should ask in this thread is which model people are using since this is a general G4 forum and not carrier specific. It does look like this happens with Verizon phones too though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/wireless-charging-stopped-t3226231
Thankfully the battery life is good enough on this phone where I can probably live without the wireless charging at work. To be honest It was more of a must have when I had the S6 since there was no way I could make it through the workday without leaving it on the charger.
Wow, really? The function that works (at least initially) because all the hardware is there, on T-Mob, is "not supported?" That sounds like LG support has their heads up their butts, just like the QA department on the wifi charging.
I'll add the question of what version G4 do you have on the questionnaire. Can't edit the poll anymore though I wish I could.
1. Locked up during the night, multiple times a week.
2. Randomly started working perfectly for 3 months. Replaced phone. Worked for about 1.5 months. Now stops charging and locks up during the night again.
3. Nokia puck + Samsung + several chinese ebay units
4. Absolutely no idea why it magically fixed itself and now magically broken.
5. Verizon G4

About 2 weeks, sent in for RMA, came back not fixed, sent back, worked for a little over a week, stopped today.
3. What qi charger do/did you use?
LG Quick Circle case purchased from Verizon, 2 tylt vus, one samsung puck.
4. If it broke down, what happened and did you ever get it working again?
No idea what caused it to stop working -- today it stopped somewhere between work and home.

Wireless Charging Issue Update 13B

Anyone else having issues with wireless charging since the 13B update? I do not if it is just coincidence or not but both my wife's and my G4 refuse to charge through wireless. This problem seemed to begin after both phone's were updated to 13B. The light on the charging pads does not even come on. In the case of my G4, I have actually wiped the phone after the 13B update and still encounter the issue.
You should check to make sure it's not that the sticker on the back has stopped making contact with the wireless charging pads... All of mine have consistently stopped working after awhile because of that, however, if I take the sticker off and press it to the contacts physically it still works.
Although after fighting it for weeks I've given up on wireless charging for this phone.

Hardware issue is a possibility but, I have two LG G4's here that both stopped working at the same time. I experience the issue on multiple charging pads also. This was right after both phone were updated to 13b.
I'm on 13b and my wireless charging works as well as it ever did, which isn't spectacular. I'd say 1/10 times I wake up and its not charged. I even bought the official flip cover case with qi as I originally blamed my sticker back application skills.... but both work equally crappily....
Wireless charging on my 13B is rock solid. FWIW this is the wireless charger I use: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Yoot...9605910&sr=8-3&keywords=lg+g4+yootech+charger
As long as I ensure that it is steady green on the charging light by properly aligning the phone to the pad, I have never had an issue with it not charging properly.
I am not sure why I am still having issues. I did a battery pull on both phone and they started charging. But now half the time neither phone charges or I will wake up with the phone only partially charged. I just find it really hard to believe that both phones are having issues with two different chargers at the same time and that it happened right after I updated to 13b.

Thats what I figured, but had to ask. Have you tried charging it with the phone off? Could be the new software requires a greater amperage than before so charging with the phone on could cause issues. I know your charger comes with its own USB cable but what about the actual wall wort? Are you using the standard LG wort? Im just drawing at straws, but hopefully something gets your issue fixed. Other than that I guess at this point, since you already tried different chargers you could see if replacing the Qi sticker in the phone has any effect.

The LG G4 doesn't support wireless charging unless the NFC sticker on the back cover is changed out for one that is NFC/Qi charging capable. Look at the NFC sticker on the inside of the back cover. If it only has one section of the sticker with two metal pads, then it's only NFC capable. There should be two sections / arms with two metal pads on the sticker. one for NFC and the other for wireless charging. You can buy a new pad online for $10. My Verizon LG G4 didn't come with the wireless sticker , only the NFC one. See the picture for details of the NFC/Wireless charging sticker. :good:

I bought a new sticker that had both NFC and QI, and it was charging without a problem for a couple months. Now mine does not work at all and my wife's G4 only works sometimes.
