[Q] Using G3 QI Wireless sticker? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was looking at the pictures and it seems the connectors look the same on the LG G4 and LG G3. Thinking of trying a LG G3 QI charger sticker on the G4.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/QI-G...-Wireless-Charging-Case-Cover/1971193812.html
Read in the G3 forum people seem fairly happy with the sticker solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/nfc-wireless-charging-sticker-t2818424
Is there something I am missing here or some issue with these stickers I am not aware of?

Think you have to look better. Because on the G3 i see 4 pins and on the G4 there are two.

I think the pins for NFC and wireless charging are located on the right side of the back of the phone. If that's the case, there are indeed 4 pins on the G4.

But not on the same place as the G3.... so a one on one fit is not going to happen.

I was wondering this too, but from the pictures it looks like it is a bit different. I'm hoping they will release these stickers by the time the us gets it. I want to use the leather back and qi

wireless charging cases are already available on ebay for the g4
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-G4-F50...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item43dbaaed4c
so just a matter of time before the stickers are available separately

exactly :good:

Just see the picture of back samsung s5 is so similar to G4, both are 2 pin, is there anyone try to use S5’s sticker on G4? Thanks

The seller in the OP says they're doing a pre-sale for G4 stickers so I'd say stay tuned. They claim they'll have them in a couple weeks.

I just received the wireless sticker from China, and installed it in the back of the phone. I tried the phone on two different Qi pucks, both of which work on my Moto G, and could not get any signs of life from either puck.
Has anybody had any luck with these stickers, and please don't refer me to the video of the guy installing one on a phone. I've reviewed that video two or three times, and I have no idea what I've done wrong. I think I've got the gold contacts all lined up appropriately, although I can't see for sure when the cover goes back on the phone.
I would welcome anybody's comment on how successful they were--if they managed to get the thing charging--and whatever tips they might be able to pass along.

Replacement Back Cover

I finally may have found a site that sells replacement back covers for the OGP. While the E980 back looks fine, its cross hatch design is much less appealing to me than the Nexus 4 style the other versions have. For anyone else interested, here's a link:
http://diggloving.com/black-battery-door-back-housing-cover-case-for-lg-optimus-g-pro.html
Unfortunately, the pictures only show the inside. So I can't be sure which pattern is present on the outside. Also, the F240 has an antennae while the E980 doesn't. I'm not sure if that changes the shape of the back. Can anyone confirm if this is so? Hopefully one back size fits all variants.

I'll let you know but other than a ship notice from eBay I don't have it yet. It listed 2 to 4 weeks and if it's anything like other internationally sourced parts it will take at least 3 full weeks to arrive. I'm a little less than a week past the purchase point right now.

Got it! I ordered mine on Friday. Thanks...
I just got mine in the mail. Unfortunately, one of the little flaps that snaps it to the rest of the phone doesn't line up. Presumably this relates to the slightly different design of the F240. When I have some time, I'll try cutting it off and gluing it where it needs to be for the E980.

So you specifically bought an F240 door? I wonder if the ones on eBay marketed as E988 doors have the same problem. Any chance you could take that pic from the site linked above and circle the out of place tab in the picture and post it here? I'd like to compare it to the eBay door pictures.

I received the new E986 rear battery cover and mid-plate today to put on my AT&T E980. As far as I can tell everything looks like it should line up appropriately on both parts. I'm waiting for a new front glass and frame to show and I'm replacing all three simultaneously.
Be advised for consistency sake, the mid-plate is very clearly labeled E986 in etchings. If that bothers you don't order the part from the Spanish distributor. Also the battery door at the top is labeled "G Pro_1 >PC< SY2" where the original E980 door is labeled "SY3" I think. That may be as simple as the very different pattern on the door.
Let me know if there's any other questions. I have midterms the beginning of next week in my masters classes so I probably won't swap the parts till mid late next week. At that point I'll pretty much have a new phone.

It looks like E98X back covers are the way to go. See the attached image for how the F240 back doesn't line up. I started hacking it up with a box cutter. I've almost got it to fit right. I believe it also lacks wireless charging support. I remember reading that the F240 doesn't have it out of the box. I don't currently have a wireless charger to test it on though. Finally, there's "4G LTE" written in the middle. The one posted above doesn't have that, and looks better to me eyes.

It looks like there is not a wireless charging coil on that door for the Qi charging system. I'd return that one and order the door off of eBay out of Spain with the LG logo. It definitely has a Qi charging coil in it.

Just got the back cover I ordered from Ebay in Spain. Snaps on just like the AT&T one and looks to have the wireless charging as well but don't have any way to really test it.
By the way I'm loving the LG cover which has the same patterns as the Nexus 4. The ATT one looks more yellowish and bland in my opinion when compared side by side. Now onto taking the plastic off this new phone, SIM unlocking, Rooting and ATT debloating! Happy the exterior has nothing else ATT-like on board.
I also just got one from Spain. It's definitely the way to go. It fits perfectly and has that excellent Nexus 4 look.

Does anyone else have an E980 back cover they could sell? I bought the phone online, and it only came with the OEM LG folio case. Back cover doesn't have to be perfect condition either as i would cover it with a case.

Bought the one being sold in ebay from Spain (for E986) l. I recieved it here in Philippines exactly 3 weeks from date of purchase. I own an AT&T E980. I confirm that it snaps on perfectly. Also has NFC & Wireless charging (though I can't test coz I dont have a Q charger).

Genuine LG Smart Cover?

This cover exists! http://goo.gl/WwipqL (bottom of the link).
Who can track it down?
I think the genuine smart cover (which we can see on that screen and on IFA) is the Single-stage from VOIA. But that dock looks good too.
No, official case is not VOIA one. Offical case is :

Agreed, why save $90-100 off the regular price of the tab this week, if you just tack it right back on with a case?!
Still, it DOES seem like a spiffy case. Am I right in that it's a two-part - you can take the cover part off if you wanted? The Cetizen page seems to indicate that you can!

There is now a pre-order case on Amazon for this tablet.
I just ordered mine last night for $279 on NewEgg w/a $30 coupon, so paid $249 out the door shipped.
Going to run the gamete of my usual app's on this and see if it bogs down like my GT 8.9" in my truck does.
If it doesn't then I will re-do my Dodge RAM tablet fabrication and this will be the one to use.
Any one know if that dock has an HDMI out, USB or Audio jack out port like the Galaxy Series usually have?
Looks like it's only a simple charging dock, as it's name says..

I really don't understand why any company would invest $$ in a dock w/o it being a charging dock or a media pass-through etc...
I mean this is built/sized specifically for this tablet right?
Crazy right! Or is it just me?
Well, in practice a TV out dock should by default have a Slimport adapter as part of its kit; I haven't seen any dock for any tablet incorporate a Slimport into it, so they probably just don't want to do it or don't see a market for it.
That said, if this dock is really just a pass-through, in practice you SHOULD be able to plug a slimport adapter into the dock and do your TV out that way. So for those who do want one, they'll have that option. Personally, I'm getting this tablet because I want to do my work demos on it so I will be needing a Slimport adapter, but I'll also have a case which pretty much negates the usefulness of a dock.
Back to the case thread, the one you linked to is not an official case but one of the others which has the issue of blocking the speakers when in stand mode. I'm hoping the official case, or a knockoff close enough to it, shows up on eBay on the cheaper side in the next few weeks...

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice the speakers are blocked.
This will still work for me though, I don't use it much out of my truck, I just remove when I'm out of it! LOL!
My Galaxy 7" 2nd gen, 7.7", 8.9" & 10.1" 1rst gen all work with an official OEM dock that has audio out, mini HDMI out and 30 pin to USB connector.
There are cheap knock off's that don't have the mini HDMI out option.
With this I'm able to connect to another monitor if I wanted but more importantly 30pin connector to USB would allow me to connect to a HU.
Was looking for the genuine LG case as well, seems like its on sale in hong kong for $258 (around £20).
Good find Sckc. Crazy how resourceful this community is. Took me long time to find what l little info I did. Keep up the good work! 100 internet points to the first person who finds a way to buy one of the genuine covers right now

That's not the LG genuine cover. That's the VOIA "Premium Standing Case" mentioned in the second post. You can tell from the "for GPad 8.3" branding on it.

Not a clue as to why LG hasn't released their own official case a month after the tablet came out. It makes no sense at all.
The VOIA case looks nice, but I'm not a fan of how it stands up.

Warning: Most "G Pad 8.3" accessories do not fit VK810 (Verizon LTE)

Like a logical consumer, I assumed that "G Pad 8.3" was all I needed to search for when buying accessories.
The LG G Pad 8.3 VK810 (verizon LTE) is slightly different than the Wifi only model:
1) Camera position moved , result = will not work correctly with the majority of screen protectors currently sold
2) Headphone and IR port position moved, result = will not work with the majority of cases currently sold
3) there is talk on this forum (unconfirmed) that the thickness of the Verizon version is different by a few mm.
I bought the Voia G Pad Jelly today - and while the unit fits in, the headphone jack is partially blocked, mic is nearly blocked, and IR port is nearly blocked.

The Moko G Pad 8.3 case, available on Amazon does work well and fit perfectly on mine. On my GF's, I had to cut the bottom microphone opening a bit larger to allow the mic to be exposed. This wasn't a big deal and I just used a black Sharpie marker to darken the cut area. Thankfully, the Verizon logo is mostly covered up as I cannot stand Verizon and their unnecessarily large logo branding on devices. The Front facing camera, MicroUSB port and power/volume buttons are fully accessible.
The Xtreme Guard Front/Screen protector fits well and does not cover the Front Facing Camera or Ambient light sensor. The Full Body (rear protector needs about a 1/8th of an inch trimmed on the top center section to allow for the SIM/MicroSD slot to be accessible. This is easily accomplished with sharp scissors. The Rear camera and speaker openings line up perfectly. I hope they make a change to the full body protector in the future to make this modification unnecessary.
What LG engineer saw fit to make such unnecessary alterations? Madness . Thanks for the info.

[Q] anyone got the Qi charging quick circle folio case?

I just got mine. And it doesn't seem to charge when put on a Qi pad.
Anyone got one and have it working properly?
(and yes I do know mine is a charging back; has the little contact points and all.)
Contacted LG and they said that there is no compatible quick circle folio case for the G4. And that is it a Verizon market scheme to get you to buy their stuff. I told them about all the official LG stuff on the box (including ORIGINAL LG accessory hologram). Amazing...
I have one from Korea. It might be a knock off but it had the hologram sticker. Charging works fine but I am having some random reboots since I put it on. And the phone is not waking up when I open the case and double tap to wake is fussy. Going to put on my leather on and see if the problem goes away. Between this and Lg screwing me on the promo for the US because I bought an international phone this thing might be on Swappa shortly. Feeling a little but hurt.
Yeah I got a free Quickcircle case with my phone, but it also doesn't work with Qi ><

And you got the official LG one that supports wireless charging? Which carrier do you have?
I think there are several cases out there. Some support the wireless charging, and some don't.
But if it doesn't you'll just need to buy the qi sticker to replace it.

I have the Verizon G4. I bought the QuickCircle Folio with Powermat+NFC for AT&T models on eBay, thinking that it might work as-is, or else I could swap out the sticker to make it work with Qi.

It is official LG, and it doesn't work with my Qi charger (Tylt Vu) which still works fine with my Nexus 5.

How hard is it to replace the screen?

My screen got cracked and its hard to find someone who is willing to fix it (besides I dont have too much disposable income anyway). I have never took anything electronic apart before. How hard would it be to fix my screen? Considering my lack of experience would you recommend I dont try to?
I found it quite easy to replace the screen on mine. Im not the most experienced person in the world when it comes to tech, but the G4 is by far one of the simplest phones to take apart.
If your going to buy a new screen, I would strongly advise you go with one with the silver frame/bezel around the screen pre attached. It may cost a couple extra bucks but it is definitely worth it. I bought mine from here: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g4-h815-lcd-assembly-with-front-housing-no-small-parts-black.html
I can link you the video I watched if you want, it explains it very well.

I found it quite easy to replace the screen on mine. Im not the most experienced person in the world when it comes to tech, but the G4 is by far one of the simplest phones to take apart.
If your going to buy a new screen, I would strongly advise you go with one with the silver frame/bezel around the screen pre attached. It may cost a couple extra bucks but it is definitely worth it. I bought mine from here: http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g4-h815-lcd-assembly-with-front-housing-no-small-parts-black.html

That would be cool, Thanks! That way I can see if it seem complicated. Would you happen to know if that website you linked me to will ship to Canada?
--edit--
Also it says its compatible with the H815, I have the H812. Would it still work for me?
Here's the video that i watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX45jAzco_0
Its pretty straight forward really. There's only a dozen screws to take out, then you take off the plastic shroud, undo the ribbon connectors for the camera, screen and front camera, then remove the mother board, CAREFULLY remove all the components (there is a option for the new screen to have new components already on it, but its like 2x as much $$), then reassemble in reverse order. They tell you that you need a heat gun and double sided tape, but i didn't use either.

Yea, they ship worldwide. I'm in Australia and it took probably 1 week to arrive (was over 3 months ago now).

I have the H815T (which is different to the H815 btw) and it works flawlessly. Nice colour, no visible differences from the original (apart from the obvious shattered screen of the original) and it fit straight in.
Any other questions, feel free to ask

Haha, it wasn't private when I linked it [emoji1]
I found this one that is identical (it is literally the same video with really loud music placed over the top): https://youtu.be/wQvwPdb49es
Anyway, hope it helps [emoji4]
