My N7 isn't charging wirelessly anymore. Was working fine for the last 18 months. Curious if there's something I can do like replacing the QI component? Have no idea how to fix this. Thanks for any help!

Can you confirm that your N7 charges OK via USB and the Qi pad charges OK other devices?
What is the current consumption with and without N7 on the Qi pad?
If you can't confirm nor test any of the above, then it is a safe bet to assume that the battery is faulty.
Thank you for replying. It charges fine via USB and the Qi Pad charges my other N7 successfully. After reading some other posts on this forum I removed the casing and lifted the QI contacts up slightly. It seems to be charging OK now thankfully!! If it stops working again I'll check the current consumption and post back.

Is there a setting I need to check to enable wireless charging on my Nexus 7 (2013)? I have 2 in my house and neither with charge with the Anker charger I bought. Whether in the case or out of it, it's not connecting. Not sure if I got a defective unit or if there is something I need to turn on on the device for it to work. Thanks!

Nope there shouldn't be a setting you need to enable to get wireless charging. It should just work right out of the box. Try moving it around on the pad and see if you can get a charge. Might be a defective unit.
No there isn't a setting, just place your N7 on the charger and your good to go. I use wireless charging on my N5 and N7 all the time.
EDIT: Make sure you put the wireless charger in the middle of the device for it to work.

Mine is a bit fussy about positioning on a Lugulake Qi charger. "x" marks the spot (the "x' in "Nexus" is where the receiver coil is located) and I have to slide it around a bit to get it properly centered. I don't use a case, but I suspect it charges more slowly with a case than without (greater separation).
Aside from those quibbles, wireless charging works just fine.
I picked up an lg QI dock and tryed to let the g3 charge off it. Would not work. So found out that the us versions of the g3 do not have the correct back to work on qi dock charging. bought a replacement cover and then tryed to use dock.
the phone would go into charge mode for a few seconds and then stop charging. tryed moving the phone in differant positions and still no charge. then one night the phone charged, but it is intermitant. Is there something Im doing wrong?
thanks
The original back cover should of worked right out the box, I think the wireless charger is defective you have, try another one.

Qi chargers vary in signal strength and have an effective "transmission range" that is dependent on how thick the case of the transmitter is and how thick your phone's case is, if you have one on it. If you have a case on the phone try taking it out before you charge to see if that helps. Otherwise you may need to look for a "stronger" charger (they should have "transmission distance" or "charging distance" listed and anything 5mm or less is useless in my experience).

The US versions do not support wireless charging out of the box, as the OP said. I am waiting on a replacement antenna to handle both NFC and Qi, myself. I really got spoiled to the wireless charging with my Nexii 4 and 7...
Hello guys, I've been doing some searching around and I can't seem to get wireless charging to work on my LG G3.
I recently purchased a NFC/Qi sticker and successfully replaced the old NFC-only sticker on my backplate. I have checked and made sure the NFC/Qi pins and the terminals on the pad make contact.
I have also purchased a CHOE Stadium Qi Charger, which was very highly praised around these parts.
My issue is - wireless charging is very unreliable. I place the LG G3 on the charging pad, and it does charge for approximately 5 seconds before turning off, and then charging for 5 seconds again, then turning off. It repeats this cycle indefinitely.
I have tried restoring back to a stock KitKat image and see if the Lollipop update was causing issues, but the same issue persists. I've used both stock Lollipop ROM and the BlissPop ROM to no avail.
Anyone here have any ideas as to how I can solve this?
Make sure that the power supply you are using is putting out enough amp. I have one of these cheap ones here that does exactly the same thing. Using a good psu it works fine. Plugging it into my PC sometimes work and other times it just goes hair wire.

I've used the charger that came with the LG G3 (1.8 amp) and a 2.4 amp charger. Still doesn't seem to help.
Check to make sure you have the pins lined up with the pads on the charging sticker.

In my post, I have already mentioned that the pins are making contact with the sticker.
Anyone else having issues with wireless charging since the 13B update? I do not if it is just coincidence or not but both my wife's and my G4 refuse to charge through wireless. This problem seemed to begin after both phone's were updated to 13B. The light on the charging pads does not even come on. In the case of my G4, I have actually wiped the phone after the 13B update and still encounter the issue.
You should check to make sure it's not that the sticker on the back has stopped making contact with the wireless charging pads... All of mine have consistently stopped working after awhile because of that, however, if I take the sticker off and press it to the contacts physically it still works.
Although after fighting it for weeks I've given up on wireless charging for this phone.

Hardware issue is a possibility but, I have two LG G4's here that both stopped working at the same time. I experience the issue on multiple charging pads also. This was right after both phone were updated to 13b.
I'm on 13b and my wireless charging works as well as it ever did, which isn't spectacular. I'd say 1/10 times I wake up and its not charged. I even bought the official flip cover case with qi as I originally blamed my sticker back application skills.... but both work equally crappily....
Wireless charging on my 13B is rock solid. FWIW this is the wireless charger I use: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Yoot...9605910&sr=8-3&keywords=lg+g4+yootech+charger
As long as I ensure that it is steady green on the charging light by properly aligning the phone to the pad, I have never had an issue with it not charging properly.
I am not sure why I am still having issues. I did a battery pull on both phone and they started charging. But now half the time neither phone charges or I will wake up with the phone only partially charged. I just find it really hard to believe that both phones are having issues with two different chargers at the same time and that it happened right after I updated to 13b.
This is the charger I am using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

OK stupid question but does it charge regularly? Maybe you have battery issues.

If I plug either phone in using the same cable that goes to the charging pad I have no issues.

Thats what I figured, but had to ask. Have you tried charging it with the phone off? Could be the new software requires a greater amperage than before so charging with the phone on could cause issues. I know your charger comes with its own USB cable but what about the actual wall wort? Are you using the standard LG wort? Im just drawing at straws, but hopefully something gets your issue fixed. Other than that I guess at this point, since you already tried different chargers you could see if replacing the Qi sticker in the phone has any effect.

I will try tonight charging with the phone off, and I do use the wall plug that came with the phone. Thanks for the help.

The LG G4 doesn't support wireless charging unless the NFC sticker on the back cover is changed out for one that is NFC/Qi charging capable. Look at the NFC sticker on the inside of the back cover. If it only has one section of the sticker with two metal pads, then it's only NFC capable. There should be two sections / arms with two metal pads on the sticker. one for NFC and the other for wireless charging. You can buy a new pad online for $10. My Verizon LG G4 didn't come with the wireless sticker , only the NFC one. See the picture for details of the NFC/Wireless charging sticker. :good:

I bought a new sticker that had both NFC and QI, and it was charging without a problem for a couple months. Now mine does not work at all and my wife's G4 only works sometimes.
I'm wanting to put a nexus 7 in my car, but the charging port is in a terrible spot for my headunit surround. Has anyone ever relocated the charging port to the back of the tablet?
Hi,
Shouldn't you need the usb for data, why bot using a QI-charger?

It's going to have a headunit behind it, and they'll be linked through bluetooth. I heard that the wireless charging is amazingly slow compared to using an actual cable

I don't know about wireless charging being amazingly slow. I bought a charger a few weeks ago, and it'll charge at 650-700mA. If you're planning on keeping the screen on all the time, it might not charge very quickly, but otherwise you should be OK.
As long as you use a good quality QI charger and keep the distance between the Nexus and the charger low you'll see good power transfer.
The port can not be relocated but a right-angle micro usb cable could work for you.
