Where to buy an LG quick case

Seems I can't find anyone that sells the cases. I really want the LG G3 quick circle case with wireless charging. Does anyone know if the at&t case works?

I picked my case at the Verizon store. In the Phoenix area, at least, the Verizon variant is just the "folio-case". It has the quick-circle functionality, but does not have the wireless charging portion. Additionally, it attaches over the entire back of the phone. The AT&T case actually replaces the back cover of the phone, and is wireless charging ready.

Don't get teh AT&T version. It will NOT have wireless charging. We use Qi standard while the AT&T version uses PMA.

What I was afraid of

Could I get the ATT case and a powermat charger? Or does the tmobile variant not even allow powermat under those circumstances?

The pins don't trigger as there is too much wattage. PMA uses higher wattage than Qi as that's the main reason why it's not changeable. Currently unknown is if LG made this hardware or software. I honestly wouldn't bother and wait to get one from Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
The ones from Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile will use Qi. Just make sure you get the right one as there is a knock off without wireless charging coil in them.

Talked to T-Mobile area manager today and he said none of his stores have plans to carry the case.When I asked the reason he said thats all his boss told him. Not sure if T-Mobile will carry any of the cases.

Then i will walk into Verizon and buy it like i did with the dot view case.

good case

I thought the VZW case wasn't going to support Wireless Charging. I'm assuming it's safe to get it there then from the looks of this thread? Which is great thanks to a 25% accessories discount I get through work.

Wow... $10 more just for wireless charging?

It's the same price as the AT&T version, and the other one seems to be a generic. From the rep tried to explain the other one it does not backplate on the non wireless charging one.
You can always get your own Qi parts and put them on your original back plate may come out cheaper.

Just add the wireless charging sticker on to the quick circle case. Pretty simple fix. On another note: is it true that T-Mobile is giving out the OEM quick circle cases with purchase of a G3 now??

Without wireless charging and also it's a snap on. You don't remove the backplate.

That appears to be for the Korean version, with the cutout for the antenna. Can't remember the model number, maybe F400, but if it is indeed for the Korean version it wouldn't work with the US variants sans AT&T. Reason is that the pins are spaced differently on the Korean model compared to the US models.

Yes. But it's just the snap on case, not the wireless charging one.

[Questions] Regarding the D855 LG3

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.

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] AT&T Note 4 support qi charging?

Hey all,
For those who got their Note 4 early from AT&T did they pull a fast one like the LG G3 and rip out qi charging pins in favor for powermat?
Thanks!

My understanding of qi with the note4 was that it only was available with the optional case, and it's not built into the phone.
Wasn't built into the s5 either.
Sent from my SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Can someone with an att note 4 pop in a qi receiver and see if it charge up? I have a bad feeling they went pma just like the g3.

It's Qi charger. I don't have the adapter yet, but others have pointed out that the contact points on the back match the Qi specifications. I just got my Note 4, and opened the back, and indeed the contacts are identical to my wife's S4

Just because it has the Wireless charging contact pickups, doesn't necessarily mean it will work with Qi. The LG g3 had the same contact pickups, but at&t disabled Qi charging at the hardware level, and made those contacts only work with pma charging receivers.

let say wireless charging works, will it still take advantage of the fast charging feature though?coz I don't think so

NO, wireless charging is a Lot Slower charging than with your USB cable and AC adapter for Fast Charge.

It supports Qi. I bought the official samsung back. I use it with a Qi charger I bought off amazon. Works great but due to bulk, limits my cases.

Wireless charging can be done if you buy a wireless charging battery cover and these have them built in also. A cheaper route is just buying these little wireless recievers and stick them in, you can get them cheaper on ebay (but my work computer can't access Ebay sites).
Wireless charging IS slower than normal charging, its all about convenience. I have a few around the the house and a couple at work. Most output .5 - 1 amp range compared to 2+ amp chargers and the included adaptive fast chargers.
The links are for example only, not telling anyone to buy anything. Hope this helps.

[Q] d852 to try and use Qi ?

So, I've got a Rogers LG G3 (d852) ... and I've bought a Qi case for it that says it's for the d850 (which the mid frame back has d850 written in various spots). The sticker's contact points line up, but when I put it on a Qi charging pad it doesn't work. Testing out the NFC and it doesn't work either.
Hopefully it's a bum case... But I also purchased a d850 back plate that has NFC and Qi receivers, so I'm hoping those will work.
Doing some research it says the d852 is PMA ... but if I replace the receiver on the back, should it not work with Qi?
Help? What are the differences between the d852 and the d850 (from what I can tell it was which bands the cell operated on and nothing about battery contact points etc...)

I don't think you can just change the charging coil to make Qi work on D852. It seems D852 is missing the Qi charging circuitry inside the phone. Your best bet is get an PMA charging sticker and put it in your back cover to enable PMA wireless charging like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-PMA-W...923?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed9ec328b

I thought the 'receiver' that's the sticker on the case is the coil, and the leads in on the phone just provide the power.
The extra weird part is that the NFC doesn't work either.
I've ordered a Qi back plate to double check.

That is not true. The coil is just one part of the Qi charging system, it is not the receiver. There is a receiver IC in the phone that does two way communication with the Qi charger via the coil before any charging can happen. Think of the coil as a wifi antenna, and the receiver IC as the wifi card. Without the wifi card, it is pointless to put a wifi antenna there. Your wireless receiver IC is of PMA, and it does not work with a Qi coil.

Now it's funny because I went and called LG tech support yesterday (not saying they're the most savvy folks out there, but you never know).
According to them, the d850 and the d852 are exactly the same (some bands are different for carriers in the US), and even within the d850 line there's PMA or Qi charging backs but the internals are the same (or so they say).

Qi Charging working on AT&T

Hey guys,
I just saw this thread on the LG G4 subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/38wo2v/atts_lg_g4_does_indeed_work_with_the_qi_version/
This guy confirms that Qi is indeed working on the AT&T G4, at least with the Quick Circle case. Has anyone else tried Qi on the AT&T variant yet?

Was wondering the same thing. Bump
Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

Well that will be fantastic if it turns out to be true!!!

Great news! Can any others confirm?

would also like to know. My G4 should be arriving soon....

That would stand to reason, as the quick circle case is supposed to add wireless charging to the G4.

Yeah perhaps there's no hardware in the phone, it's all in the case and its pma or qi depending on the case you buy. Seems to me it's assumed that the at&t g4 can't use qi because the g3 couldn't, and they have a special pma quick circle case, but I can't find an official statement and the manual doesn't say anything about wireless charging either way.

I have the Sprint version of the LG G4 and the quick circle case. Yes Qi'charging is enabled and working great! 3rd party stickers should be on their way soon to enable the leather backs to do the same! So nice being able to drop and charge. Definitely the way to go!

I just ordered a cheap qi sticker and charging pad on eBay for my AT&T variant. I will post results after they come, which may take a bit, as it's a Chinese deal.

Well things didn't work out for me with my qi sticker, but I can at least verify qi works on the at&t version. Getting qi working wasn't a problem. Getting the sticker lined up enough my battery cover wouldn't buldge, that was the problem!

Qi works fine on AT&T LG G4
I have the AT&T LG G4 with the QuickCircle Qi Replacement Back Cover Case. I using a CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger (3 coils) and it charges my phone perfectly. The back gets a little warm, but not hot so it doesn't hurt the battery. I'm considering going to the Tylt charger - it's just expensive. I really like the wireless charging, and the circle case is pretty cool. I like it much better than my wife's Note 4 smart window case.
Got the charger off Amazon and the case from Mobile Fun (in Britian)....

I have the AT&T LG G4 with the QuickCircle (Wireless Charging) and Ikea wireless charger and it is NOT working. I bought the quick circle case from AT&T B&M store.
On LG's website they list a Verizon compatible case (Qi) and an AT&T compatible case (PMA)
So maybe your case is Qi and mine is PMA? Maybe if I bought the Verizon variant I could get Qi to work? Sigh

It does work with the leather back... It more of a mission to find a qi charger that can penetrate the leather. I only found one that works consistently.

I had to pull off the little speaker really easy quick google search after that I pulled of the top plastic cover exposing the coil I covered the top circuit board with some electro tape, works 10 out of 10 times. I could cut some plastic and make it look better but since I don't travel with it, not much to worry about.

If you have an ATT SIM card in your LG G4, then you need to have the H810 model (the model designed to work with ATT) to get full functionality for things like MMS.
BUT, unlike all other LG G4 models, the H810 will NOT work with a Qi wireless charger.
For details, I suggest the Android Central forum thread titled "AT&T Variant Wireless Charging - PMA Again or Qi?".

Is it still working for you?

Hey, cellgeek. Is your H810 with Qi Circle Case still able to charge wirelessly? Assuming you're up to date on firmware updates, I think AT&T may have found a way to disable Qi.
Thanks.
