I want a wireless charger for my phone because I'm always picking it up and putting it back down on my desk. I'm kinda sick of plugging and unplugging it, so a wireless charger would be nice. Thing is, I don't want one that's going to beep at me every time I pick it up or put it down and it's hard to tell from Amazon reviews if a particular charger does this or not.
Any suggestions?

The Air Dock on the Indiegogo site seems good. I've just bought two, one to use on the desk and other for the car. Shipping though in May so i'll have to wait.

The Nokia DT-900 works a treat with the N5, even with my Diztronic TPU case. Only thing is, since 4.4.2 (I think) the phone automatically makes a beep when you begin charging it. Only way to disable this is through an Xposed module, which you can find here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.eldarerathis.xposedmodule.wirelesschargingxposed
It's a nice little app that lets you customise how the screen behaves when you begin/finish charging, and whether you want a sound played or not.
Hope that helps.
This one BEEPS. (I like it for the CAR)

The verizon LG pad works, but does have a beep. I cut the speaker out on that one. It's a great charging pad other than the modding I had to do lol.
The Tylt Vu, orb, and Nexus wireless charger all do not beep, however,the phone does chime if your phone is below 95% in battery level. Just a FYI.

NobodyNexus5 gave me this hint
Nokia DT-900, Currently on sale for $24.50 from AT&T. Great quality wireless charger, just place the phone and it begins charging. No beep from the charger itself. Plays well with our N5s; no overheating issues etc.
Once you go wireless you never go back!

Pretty much any Qi charger except the ones shaped like a "Hockey Puck" won't beep. Those are the only ones I've seen so far that have a speaker built in to the charger pad.
The phone will also make a connection sound as well. Unless you have your phone on silent.
Just look for a Qi charger that has a 1A (1000mA) Output and you're good to go. The lower the mA output, the slower it will charge.

I can vouch for this. No beep whatsoever. Only a very white light when charging.
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)
I just sat my watch on a QI charger I had for my G2 and it worked....FYI
Very cool, so do you think any QI charger would work? I am thinking of getting one on amazon in the future to use as a travel charger.

I can't imagine why not. Id get one that lays flat. Mine is like a cradle, so I have have to rig it now i know it works. I went from one charger to three just like that.

Tried to go the other way and see if I could get the 360 charger to charge the G2. I couldn't find a good way to get it on there, doesn't seem like it will work without some creativity.

Little 360 base probably doesn't allow you to get the phone in the right spot to get contact.

Yeah the indention is specific to the 360. So how are you liking the phone so far? Android Wear in general is the only thing that bothers me as I figure out how to use it.

I take it you mean the watch. I like it. I wish it had a better battery. I like AW better than Tizen. So much more development. I wish I could make or answer calls from it like my Gear 2.
What someone needs to do is having something like the Power Pack Micro or any small power pack and have a Qi charger on one side. That would have been killer. Then you could have looped the watch around it to charge on the go.

Awesome. I'm even less concerned about the (rumored) poor battery life. I have Qi chargers at work, at home and will have the dock as well.

Could you say how long it takes to charge? does it charge as fast on the generic charger?
Confirmed. Awesome!

I have this charger for my g3 and it works well... I will test it with my 360 when i get it.
So... this old problem is back with a twist. Basically the thing beeps and wakes the screen up when it's done charging and keeps doing it on a timer or something.
I'd like to disable this but the solution that worked on ZVD (Xposed framework and G2 Xposed) doesn't work anymore.
Anyone have any ideas on how i'd disable this rather annoying behavior?
Mine used to do this all the time. As it turns out the charging cable had gone bad. I replaced it and it has never done it since. You may want to try a new cable.

Bother... The problem is that i'm not using a standard cable as I shoehorned one of those wireless conversion kit antennas in between the case and phone. I'll have to remove it and plug it in to see what happens. (still have the original charger and cable)
Whelp, thanks for the insight.

Yup... plugged it into the charger yesterday when I got home and it only binged at me once when it was done charging.
I'll have to do some testing and see what was causing the issue, the charging pad or the wireless charger. I'll have to try the other one I have.
That's all I can figure out. When I have Settings>Sound>Advanced>Charging sounds toggled on, it doesn't make any sound when plugging in the charger or when unplugging the charger. I've toggled it off, rebooted, toggled it back on, rebooted... nothing. All of the other sounds - Dial pad tones, Screen locking sounds, Touch sounds - work but not the Charging sounds. All I can think is either Google or LG forgot to put the sound files on the phone? :silly::silly:
Aside from the sounds, you would think that the Charging Animation when the phone is turned off could be upgraded. Even the HTC M9 had a nice animation.

So are you confirming your Charging sounds don't work either?

I am not sure what sounds they're supposed to make.
If the sounds aren't there, it was Google, not LG that forgot them...

I can confirm there is no charging sound
the sound is only for wireless charging, been that way for awhile now.
obviously the phone doesnt have wireless charging, so there will be no sound.

Interesting. Every phone I've ever owned had a sound option for plugging in and unplugging the charging cable. I assumed that's what it was for on the XL2 too. But being my first Google phone, I shouldn't assume anything I guess.

Nexus and Pixel phones never had a charging plug in/out sound, just for Qi wireless charging.
