Case that fits with inductive charging battery cover.

I just picked up the inductive charging battery cover from Verizon today and unfortunately my Rearth Slim Lite case no longer fits. Does anyone know a case that will accommodate the new battery cover?

Did you really? I have seen nothing on the availability of the back cover. Does it work with PowerMat?

I wonder if the inductive back works with the HP Touchstone?

Ya I read on engadget that they were available now and my Verizon store had 3 in stock. The official s3 charging pad isn't available yet but it worked fine with the Verizon/LG Qi compatible pad I have.

Saw on another forum that it supposedly doesn't work with touchstone, FWIW.

Damn. Was going to pick one up tomorrow to use with my touchstone. What a shame. Guess I'll keep waiting until Samsung released the official one. Hope they don't charge as much for the whole setup as Verizon is.

I think I read $90 total for the back + mat.... Unless it works differently than my DIY touchstone project.... why so expensive?

I may be mistaken and I will look to confirm when I get home but I believe it is the official one branded and made by Samsung.

Just what we need, proprietary inductive charging.
How do they even make that work? Make a coil accept only a certain amperage, like .0895 exactly?

I don't think it is proprietary, as it has been said to work with other Qi standard chargers.

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.

I dont think the cover works with any other Galaxy SIII other then Verizons tho. I'm thinking the back cover connects to the exclusive lower pins on the Verizon variant rather then the pin out all the SIIIs have. Sadly..
Hoping to get pics to confirm. Stopped by a few places today (well, yesterday) and none of the Verizon stores I went to had any.

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.
I would post a pic but I am brand new to this forum.

Yes, I saw that in the pics, it has contacts for both the VZW specific pins and the other "standard" S3 pins. It does look like it will work with both types of chargers.

The printing/part number of the VZW inductive cover, appears to be genuine Samsung.

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.

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.

[Q] Qi Charger (Stand)

Currently have this wireless charging dock for my Nexus 7: http://www.amazon.com/KiDiGi-Wireless-Charging-Google-Nexus/dp/B00FIG39RC
Works great (once you cover the sticker) and also works with the LG G3 (Verizon, I replaced the NFC sticker with the Qi/NFC from Alibaba).
Would like to get 2 more Qi chargers (both stand style). One to put on my nightstand (for my phone mostly, tablet usually sits in my living room) and another for my desk.
Is there another stand style charge that works well with LG G3 and Nexus 7. Ideally would be slightly more compact than the KiDiGi, as well as better looking and/or not $70.

How quickly does it charge your phone?

it charge at 1.0 a, so is slower than using the usb cable, but for me is not a problem

It is a rubber material and it holds it in place. I bought the same one but it does the power cycle issue where it will charge for 10 seconds, stop charging, and then start charging again. I wonder if only people with the Amazon/Ebay stickers have this issue. I have tried two stickers and 3 different cheap chargers with the same outcome.

Depends on which sort of model you have. G3's sold in India (and I believe Asia as well) have the wireless charging support inbuilt to the default cover as well as the Quick Circle case. US variants don't have it by default as far as I know. I'm not sure about the European models.

how about the tylt vu? http://www.tylt.com/vu/
works well with the G3, but only works in landscape for the nexus 7.

Will at&t kill qi charging on Note 4?

Not too long ago I bought an AT&T LG g3, it promptly got returned when it was found out that AT&T killed Qi charging and put in pma in its place.
With that two hundred dollar trade in going on I wouldn't hate a new note 4.
So.... Will at&t do the same with the note 4, and kill qi charging?

The Note 4 will not come with any form of wireless charging, none of the variants do. However, they will make a Qi back cover. Even if AT&T pulls the plug on the Qi back in favor of a PMA back, you could just buy a different back fdom a different carrier. But seeing as how this is a Samsung accessory and not built into the phone, I highly doubt AT&T will try to meddle with this at all. They probably wont even sell it in store because of their partnership with PMA.

Unless the ATT version has the contact pins removed that are needed for wireless charging to work. And we won't know that till the device is out. I hope not though as I really like wireless charging.

I highly doubt that. This would actually cost more to mass produce and/or assemble an entirely different board per carrier variant.

It has been done in the past with certain carriers. I forget which phone though right now. That is why I mention it.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Yeah, they'll probably kill it. AT&T is Powermat all the way.

Yes on the LG g3, people bought Qi charging coils for the at&t variant only to find out that AT&T actually disabled or enabled (depending on your point of view) wireless charging at the hardware level to only allow for pma charging.

Pretty sure you're thinking of the Verizon (or was it T-Mobile) Note 2 which for some magic reason had the pins blocked. Can't remember if the pins were hidden under the plastic mid frame that was different or if they removed them from the board. It only happened with that model of Note. The Note 3 they were all available to buy the $40 new rear door or Amazon Qi pad for.

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.
