If you don't mind, how much did you pay for them?

$70 seems like a lot to me for a charger, even though wireless.

An audible confirmation to me seems like a good idea for bed side use so you don't have to look at the screen.

Thanks

If you go to sears.com. Search for 5wc800. It lists it as 39.99, but right under that it says also available from other sellers for 4.99. Click that and you can buy them for 4.99+3.99 shipping. They charge the same shipping even if getting multiple by the way. And ignore the free shipping for signing up with MAX. It only woks for purchases directly sold from sears and not the third party.

I've had the LG Qi charger for a few days now and it works very well. Like other have said there is a beep when you place the phone on the charger. I can't confirm if there is a beep when the phone is fully charged because I have never heard it and always just wake up to a charged phone. I had planned on removing the speaker after reading about it but I don't think I'll bother now that I have it. I recommend this charger.

I'm going to wait a month for the orb but if not, I'm going to get the LG Pad. A lot of people were complaining about the beeping saying it was "louder than a smoke alarm". Needless to say, that is complete bull****. Watched a video of it on YouTube and I had the sound up to a realistic level, I know it's not the greatest indication but it seems pretty normal. I'm just kind of concerned with the durability of the orb as in, being able to sustain the "magnetic suction" one or two years from now. I don't want to get it, then after 6 months, the phone won't stay on the damn thing without duct tape.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharmingCharlie:
I find this whole situation frustrating. There is literally no way to get a decent compatible inductive charger for the nexus 4 in the UK . As far as i can see the only charger that is 100% compatible (ie no ifs or buts it actually works with no beeps or crap) is the Energizer Inductive Pad. Try as I might I cannot find anyone selling this in the UK for a reasonable price and not the American version.

Meanwhile I tweeted LGUK about when the charger will become available and they gave a very vague reply :-

(fraid I can't post a link to the tweet since I am a junior).

So it looks like I am going to be charging the phone the old fashioned way for quite some time to come. At this point the whole QI thing is a bit laughable and it is no wonder wireless charging isn't catching on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfboy1984:
Yeah I agree. I'm in the uk too. :( Very few of the few charging mats available were manufactured this year. New models and stock is very hard to come by. Which is obviously silly as there are more qi supported devices out now.

Until a company really tries to dominate the qi market, the situation will remain the same and prices of units will stay high.

I also fear the Nexus orb won't be the game changer this market needs should it eventually emerge from prototype status. Obviously I'd love to be proved wrong tho...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youareme7:
Well the point may be moot because we can't get it, but magnets don't really degrade like that, I wouldn't worry at all about it not staying put as long as the orb and phone were initially designed well. But I agree that i'll probably end up with the LG or Energizer one; primarily because nexus accessories are even more rare than nexus 4's. I remember I sold my nexus one dock for much more than i paid for it, two years after heavy usage...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
I have a quick question about wireless changing in general. I understand how it works. My question is when the phone is charging and hits 100%, does the wireless charger just stop then start charging again when it needs to, or does it act like how a wall charger changers at 100%? I got a powermat free from someone at work that has no need for it and i am not 100% sure if i should use it or not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youareme7:
Well first and formost, if it's a Powermat brand (or Powermat compliant) it won't work at all because it's a competing standard with what the Qi standard the Nexus 4 uses. Second, they operate in much the same fashion as a wall charger, it'll maintain full charge once it's finished charging up, like a trickle charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
Probably depends on the charger in question, but mine shuts off at 100% and kicks back on once it has drained a bit. Also, the powermat shouldn't work with the N4, so don't count on it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Actually it depends on the brand/model you get. The Panasonic one I have stops charging at full, and doesn't recharge or keep it at 100%. While the LG one I have keeps the device at 100% once fully charged.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharmingCharlie:
I could live with the beep or if it bothered me I would disable it. However the problem with the LG WCP-700 is the fact they are not available in the UK. Only one place sells them but it appears to be the US version and I don't want to fiddle about with power converters. The only Qi compatible charger available in the UK is the Nokia one (at extortionate prices I might add) and I am not going to pay £50 - £100 on the off chance it will work.

Right now in the UK at least there is no possible way to use the Wireless Charging facility of the Nexus 4 which is annoying in the extreme.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I'm very curious about this. I have an Energizer Single inductive charger, and it's great. It keeps the phone charged when the phone is on the pad. However, I have noticed that the light which indicates charging (on = charging, off = not charging) will occasionally go back and forth between on and off once the phone has been fully charged. I'm guessing this points to a trickle charge whenever the battery drops below 100%? Could this be damaging to the battery? Is this how actual wired chargers work as well?

EDIT: In general, I guess I'm concerned that leaving the phone on an charger for the majority of the day (e.g., while in an office) and night (e.g., while sleeping) will damage the battery since it's constantly doing a trickle charge. As regular practice, is it better to let the battery die down to 10-30% and then charge it, rather than always having it hover around full?

Energizer QI Single Charger

Hi, as you may remember I've told you a week ago that I asked in the official Energizer's website, if the single QI inductive charger (this) is compatible with Nexus 4. Today I've got the answer:

Q: "Can the single inductive charger charge a LG Nexus 4?"

A: "Yes. However, this pad is angled slightly with a slick finish. The Nexus 4 has a glass back. Result: phone slides off charger. Either place something under the pad to level it, use a non-slip cover on the phone or place some non-slip tape on the pad."

PS: I am pretty surprised by the answer. I wasn't expecting Energizer to mention that N4 is slippery so it will make the phone slide off the charger. However, they were absolutely honest.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoOnZ:
Gotta love capitalism. They figured out that people were suddenly buying it. With that price you might as well buy one from a Verizon Wireless Store. It's $50.

You can probably put a few magnets behind the pad. I bought a pack of 20 very strong small magnets 3x1mm on ebay for very cheap. There are different sizes. I'm trying to hack up something on my car mount.

You can order the LG one from the States. The pic posted earlier in this thread confirms that the power supply is 240v compatible so it will work fine with a 2 quid travel adapter :)

Will probably work out at about £50 if you get stung on customs, which I don't think is too bad considering qi chargers in the UK are like hen's teeth right now (and not all that easy to get in the States by the sound of it).

I don't think the problem is magnets on the pad, I think the problem is the device. I haven't really felt any strong pull to the N4 when I've put it near magnets that I have.

But having said that - the LG Nexus in this image IS a pre-production prototype. AND the Orb is. But I can't imagine the hardware would be so fundamentally different.
