I got the Choi wireless charger after reading a lot of positive reviews on it, but I'd go for a different brand. I've found that it tends to heat the phone up significantly if I leave it on the charging pad overnight, and it's got a small 'target' for correct phone placement compared to this other one I bought:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(Note: that's the U.S. Amazon site.)
This one's got a bigger 'target' area, I haven't noticed much excessive heat (maybe only once that I can recall) but I've only got it at my office vs. using it overnight at home. Overall, it works great for me and I like it better than the Choi, for what it's worth.
I got a LG WCP-300 and a Docooler QI mat....ill post up the pics later but both work just fine...
IMO, I have the Nokia DT100 and the Official Google Nexus Charger and sadly for a quick fast charge.. I like the Nokia one. There is a light status for charging and it's just easier, set it down, it works. Google one gotta line up with the magnets.. BUT your choice on what you pick
I have 2 of your first link. Neither heat my phone up significantly and I have my phone in a case with daydream running. Placement is also not an issue. If you center it and place it the notification sound goes off and it's charging. Great price and it works very well.

Hi all, I'm considering getting this device, but want to have wireless charging.
has anyone purchased a 3rd party wireless charging receiver, and if so, what has been your experience? are you using a case?
thanks!
The Pixels do not natively support wireless charging. You will have to wait for a company to make a wireless charging case that adds this functionality.
For example, on the Pixel 1:

correct.
looking at the reviews on Amazon, many users are claiming that it works fine with the pixel 2.
I haven't used them, my only concern is how easy it would be to unplug the wireless charger in the even I need to access it either to charge or connect it to something like computer or God forbid headphones

100% agreed.
that's why I enjoy my droid turbo (built in wireless charging).
however, i MAY be fine with accepting this so long as the battery life is great as it has been claimed (able to go a full day in between charges), and I may ask for a pair of them google pixel ear buds for my birthday.
so the solution would be to get an extra wireless charging pad (less than $10) and get a pair of wireless earbuds.
but if the deal breaker for me would be the battery life. my current device as a 3900mAh battery and can go all day and then some. but, it is 2+ years old, and the battery is deteriorating, so it's not lasting as long. but if the Pixel 2 can deliver, then I may be fine with that.
Honestly battery life has been really good for me. I get 4+ hours of SoT which includes playing games and watching videos.

Oh, very cool, actually! I would also be worried about continuous unplug/replug for anyone using wired headphones or wanting to plug in for faster recharge. Let us know if you try it!
Lost wireless charging when I got the Nexux 5x. Never really missed it much. While somewhat convenient, it was slow to charge and many times when I needed a fast charge I just plugged in anyway.
So, Nexus 5X -> Pixel -> Pixel 2, same thing, I have chargers where I need them and charging is pretty quick. So, at the office, in my truck, by the recliner and in my home office I have fast chargers. I am covered. I also have a fast chargers in my backpack when I out an about.

understood that wireless charging is a preference and not a necessity.
as for me, it's more of a convenience factor as well as less wear/tear on the port (and battery life from my understanding). to have the ability to pick it up and go rather than pulling on a cord is a great help.
i did this with my wife's iPhone 7. and she really enjoys it (and it's difficult to get her to adopt to new technologies - hence why she has an iPhone).

I purchased the Spigen thin fit case and a Nillkin usb-c qi tag (short version). Have been using it for a few weeks and works with all my old Qi chargers used on my Nexus 6.
The case has a recessed area where the tag can sit without producing a bulge.
reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/7an3sm/pixel_2_wireless_charging_solution_nillkin_qi_tag/
To throw my 2 cents in. Used a USB Type-C wireless receiver with my OG Pixel XL and it worked fine, as soon as received my PXL2 I connected the adapter but it was unfortunately insufficient to provide a decent charge, even over night, many times having the same or less battery percentage left than before laying it on the Qi charger. I have since tried 2 different wireless receivers with the same result. I've gotta believe they can manufacturer one that will out put enough juice to power and charge the battery. If anyone comes across one, please let the community know. TIA.
I've purchased the Nillkin short receiver and it does not work.
I charged it overnight in a thin Spigen case and it discharged 5% overnight.
I tried charging using the receiver outside of the case and at best pulled 0.31A on a 1.5A rated qi base.
What about one of the "Magsafe" type USB C cables (https://www.amazon.co.uk/COCHING-Magnetic-Charging-Lightning-Adapters/dp/B073HC1DJB/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522506792&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+c+magnetic) if you're looking to reduce wear and tear? I assume you still get quick charge.
Looking at Nillkin's website, the tech specs on the USB-C "magic tag" give it a max output of 5V/1A. As we all know, Volts x Amps = charginess (or "Watts," for the electrical engineers). The power supply that comes with the Pixel 2 has an output of 5V/3A or 9V/2A.
So the phone's stock power supply charges at 15w or 18w. The Nillkin magic tag only feeds it 5w. At best, that's going to be a SLOOOOOOOOOW charge. The type 3 "fast charge edition" charger says it outputs more (10w). So the fast charger will send 10w to the magic tag, which will then feed 5w to your phone's battery.
Too bad. Seems like this could be a viable solution if there's a receiver that will output 10w. I mean, that still wouldn't charge as fast as the stock, wired power supply but at least it would probably charge. I'd love to have wireless charging with my new Pixel 2 but if the best it can do is 5 Watts, I'll live with the minor inconvenience of having to plug it in.
I thought wireless require all glass body which would be a no for me
Hey Guys,
I'd really like to buy me the LG G6, but buying a feature cutted Phone kinda su**...
I probably wont miss the quad dac, but I'm really into Qi charging.
I read about these pads, but I don't like blocking my usb Port all the time, so I looked for a case, which might get me this, but haven't found one.
Is there anything like this to buy?
Thanks and greetings
Since the version without wireless charging has no option to get current into the device beside the USB port,
the port will always be blocked by any solution for wireless charging.
Just buy the G6 with this option, its better (design and performances) and cheaper (price is better)
Sent from my LG G6 using XDA Labs
Thanks for your replies, I know it's gonna block the usb Port, but I hope there would be a better solution than these pads...
I found this case for iPhone by Nillkin with which I would be absolutly fine, but there's probably nothing compareable for the LG:
amazon.de/dp/B06X194B87/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2YZrAbY15P00F
I would really like to buy the Plus US Version, especially the Amazon Prime Version for 499, but as I live in Germany, things are a little bit complicated (and expansive)
I probably just gonna wait for the G7 and hope, they wont tread customers that different again...
I bought LG G6 H870 too.
I would like to use the QI but i don't know. There is an accessories which can enable the charging ?
Thanks.

here an accessory but i don't know if it's reliable!
USB Type C of charging receiver
let me know if someone know something
I had one wireless patch connected to the USB-C but I returned it to Amazon for the following reasons:
- Even if it is defined as "slim", it is not really slim and distorts the phone case and back of the phone becomes curved...
- The charging power is very sensitive to how to place the phone on the wireless charger. The maximum that I got was 15% per hours. My S7 is charging 30% per hours in the same config in more or less in all positions
- The USB-C is busy and you can't charge it easily in your car or at office without removing the patch.
--> It is waste of money.
The best should be to integrate the US G6 plate in the phone but several people already reported that it doesn't work on the DS version (missing connector pins on the mainboard).
Background :
One of the reasons of getting the LG G7 was placing it on and off (for top ups). I did not dwell (yet) into getting a separate wireless charging pad (and I haven't really been charging it much that ways yet either). I stumbled upon my lost Samsung Wireless charging pad which I used extensively on the S series earlier (unable to post link as I am a new user). Please google Samsung EP-PG920I Wireless Charger.
Questions and Concerns :
I once started charging it wireless from 3% or so and observed that suddenly it would stop charging on its own. It would not start charging again until it was lifted and placed again and again in some time it would stop charging. I thought it might be a one-off issue and tried to do the same the other day and it did the exact same thing all over again the next time as well. I'm assuming it has something to do with the charger pad. I did read somewhere that the phone has its cut off if it reaches a particular temp while charging and wondering if that is what is happening ?
Has anyone here faced the same issue ?
Is anyone here using the wireless charging option extensively and have no issues whatsoever ? If yes, please specific make / brand / setup in use for charging. Also please specify if the phone has been successfully charged say more than 50% on wireless.
Looking forward to discussions on the same.
I don't use wireless charging.. But from what your describing, it might just be time, to purchase a newer one.. I would hate to think, that the Samsung works only with Samsung.. But nothing would surprise me these days..
Bump!
No one using this feature ?

I don't have any issues with it. Are you sure that the power brick is providing enough power. It should provide at least 5V 2amps in order to work. I use the stock brick to power my wireless charger. If it's not that go to a retail store and find a wireless charger to test on.

Appreciate your response. I used my stock g7 adaptor on wireless samsung charging pad. So it is basically pumping out as much as required. Not sure if it is the charging pad which is at fault for not able to handle it maybe ? (Which actually is not its fault?). Pls post details of what setup you are using without any issues. Unfortunately, I havent seen any big retail (or small) advertising or even having wireless charging pads on display for me to walk in and check this out. In India this concept has not caught up and not many are interested in this feature. Many might have the option but still not use the feature.
Your EP-PG920I doesn't support Qualcomm QI charging at all. It doesn't support even new Samsung devices like S8 or S9, it supports S6 and S7 only.
Samsung supported at that time only WPC 1.1 standard and no Qualcomm QI. That's why EP-PG920I isn't full compatible with your LG 7.
I have no problem with QI charging. Use any 15W QI certified fast wireless charger like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H783993/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZgejCbRN366QD

Much appreciated with the explanation. I guess I have a better understanding of this now. So while it does actually charge it is not the recommended way and the issue faced is because it ultimately breaks midway as not fully supported cause of the limitation. I will give one of the better chargers and the QI certified fast chargers a go.
I use original Samsung Fast wireless charger, model is EP-NG930BBEGWW. Its connected with original Samsung S7 fast charger. This wireless charger work without any problems with S7 Edge, S6, S9+, and G7. In specs: FAST CHARGE (Compatible with Galaxy Note8, S8, S8+, S7, S7 Edge, Note 5, S6 Edge+) / Qi (Compatible with Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Qi certified devices). Only "problem" with G7 is it charging slow. Very slow - from 5 to 100% maybe 3+ hours. But this is no meaning for me, I charge my phone at night. I read G7 doesn't support fast wireless charging. Here in other thread people said support fast wireless charging, but it isn't.

Just like the case in mine it may be working but not completely. From the specs I see it has a max output of 1000mA that may be the reason for slow charge (i guess)
Yes charging slow but I don't have your problems with charging. Stop or anything else you write. Maybe you have to get other wireless charging pad.

Hey guys, my wife and I have pixel 3 recently purchased from our mobile provider. I want to get a wireless charger (fast charging not necessary) and maybe an audio dock if one exists. Any suggestions?
I think that will be 2 different things for you. Find a bluetooth speaker you like (you may find one with a build in charging pad, I have not looked). I use an Anker PowerPort Qi on my desk leftover from my Nexus 6. Not fast charging, but it comes cheap on the AMZN.
I can't recommend a device from personal experience but if you look at Amazon and search "Qi Bluetooth Speaker", you'll see a ton of options. I'm sure most are crap, so research before you buy (or be prepared to return it if it's crap).
For the wireless charger i'd say stick to the pixel stand, it offers a lot and it's the one supported by google. For sound, just get a good Bluetooth speaker i'm personally a fan of harman kardon. I got it when I switched cellular providers.
For wireless charger. I have this one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QHZ7XK2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It charges just as fast as the pixel stand. (Requires a USB C to USB C cable and a USB C type PD power supply to do so.
I am on q (Newest beta) And have been using the charger for about a month now.
