[Q] Is this a leather cover with wireless charging? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I just bought mine yesterday in Indonesia. It's the dual sim LG 818p version. And when I looked at the cover, I was surprised to see what possibly a wireless charging module. I asked the store guys and he don't even know. And I haven't have the chance to test it out yet with a qi wireless charging. But so far, it really does looks like a wireless charging module, right?

That's.... A bummer, it got my hope high ?

Yup. Def. NFC. Wireless leads would be on the other side.

There a video on YouTube where u remove that piece of nfc sticker and get one that has the wireless charging.. I believe the youtube name is pocket now

You can buy the chip for wireless charging. Its a sticker like thing that goes where the nfc sticker is. You remove the nfc sticker then replace with the new wireless charging/nfc sticker. There like $10 on amazon. Seen it like 2 weeks ago.

And it goes through leather? Further I read that in dual Sim Lg g4, the second Sim slot occupied the space where the connector to the wireless charging is

Nvm, saw the video in pocketnow.
And I was right. The connector is missing in the dual Sim Lg g4. I guess no wireless charging for us

I bought mine in Singapore and it was the leather quick circle case. Unfortunately, there is no sticker comes with it. While I understand wireless charging won't work due to terminal being in SIM1 slot, the NFC is also doesn't work.

It does have wireless charging built in the back cover...if you open the back you'll see some 3-4 pins and a circular thing in centre. But not sure if Nokia charger would work but in logical terms it should work.

Why they didn't mention anywhere on Box ?
Are these pins for NFC ?
Please someone post backcover inside photos.
I can confirm that wireless charging works by default in the international version. I am using the original LG WCP-300 and also use NFS stickers in the car to wireless charge while driving. As soon InI plug into my cradle it recognized car mode and automatically charges wirelessly.
E988 HK version.

The Indian version does not have wireless charging 'built in'... there are no pins on the inside of the back cover, it is just a plastic case.. Wireless charging is built in only in the at&t version and I think the HK version
If you want to get wireless charging on the Indian version you will have to buy the quick cover.. the quick cover back replaces the original plastic back of the phone and it has the wireless charging pins.. But downside is you will have to keep the quick cover always on

But the main question is lg selling no accessories in india.
Any link to buy one if available.
Thus device almost seems dead in terms of accessories. Lg not even sell batteries online.

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.

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

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.

AT&T (Powermat) Quick Circle Case on Verizon G4?

Hi -
Has anyone with a Verizon G4 tried using an AT&T Quick Circle Case for Qi wireless charging?
Even though the AT&T packaging clearly says it's for use with PMA charging, I've read people claiming that it works fine with Qi, but I just wasn't to make doubly sure before pulling the trigger.
I can't find a Verizon store within 100 miles that has the wireless charging quick circle case but there are plenty of AT&T stores nearby that have the PMA ones.

Can you order the Qi Stickers like everyone else? I am not sure if they are compatible, and I am sure you would want to know IF it would even work first. All of the magic is in the sticker, so as long as the pins line up, you should be good. I retrofitted several devices with Samsung Qi Stickers.

There are a couple stickers on the market already. I believe there is a thread in the Accessories section on it. Sounds like some modification is needed to get it to connect properly but it sounds like it's been fairly reliable.
I'm not going to deal with stickers personally. If the AT&T PMA circle case won't work with Qi, I'll just order the Qi circle case online from Verizon.

Do i have wireless charging?

I bought this phone second hand so i a not sure. can you take a look at the pictures and let me know. ive bought a wireless charging dock from samsung waiting for it to come
No, it's not for wireless charging. You need to replace the sticker or buy a special backplate.
You just need a qi wireless charging sticker that costs about $10 to enable wireless charging.

I'd like to know that too. I have same cover like Passportpowell and i think this is just NFC antenna. See attached pic.
Passportpowell please let us know if charger works once it arrive. Thank you
EDIT:
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/wireless-charging-t3105154
then search on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_sop=15&_nkw=lg+g4+wireless+sticker&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
So, for our cover we need to remove current sticker and stick new one. This one for example:http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-Qi-Wireless-Charging-Sticker-Receiver-With-NFC-IC-Chip-For-LG-G4-F500-/272030501486?hash=item3f56480a6e:g:5KsAAOSwT5tWMd2s
OR just buy Quick Circle Case.
