[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
Doesnt matter, my phone slid off my TV remote last night after 40 minutes of sitting there and that thing is virtually flat with rubber buttons, then slid off my leather wallet twice. The iPhone glass is not gorilla glass, gorilla glass has a teflon like coating which makes it essentially non-stick. The phone will crawl itself off any surface if there is even a slight angle, it does it very very slowly, it is truly amazing from a scientific perspective, Ive never seen anything like it.

You put the phone on something and it seems like it has grip and looks like its stuck there and not moving, yet it is, extremely slowly, eventually you hear it thud as it falls off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmesCell:
It's also cupped.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Gorilla Glass is not coated. It is very slick because the ion-exchange process results in higher molecular density on the surface, this leaves fewer protrusions and a less porous surface, decreasing the kinetic and static frictional coefficients.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InGeNeTiCs:
That's what she said?

Also: In case anyone is interested, I can verify that the JBL speaker thing DOES work with the nexus 4, NFC included. Demo'd it in a store the other day. Paired it with nfc, then threw it on top to charge. If music is playing though, don't expect it to stay on.

Edit: To elaborate on the JBL speaker, the quality is very nice. If I didn't already have a big jambox as well as an ever growing sonos setup in my home, I would definitely consider it. NFC and the inductive charging are just icing on the cake!

The Nokia inductive chargers(for the new lumia line) all work. I tried them personally.

LG charging pad works as well.

I was going to try out the energizer inductive pad, but couldn't find any in stores and I've already bought a powermat that didn't work, so I wasn't up for wasting MORE money.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy34:
I've been thinking about the JBL speaker, when tested it, did you happen to try with a case on the phone when charging? I have a TPU case on my phone and wondering if it would work OK with it. Also, what store did you go to to test it?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt.PP:
There is a high chance they'd have it when they re-open PlayStore for ordering N4, inductive charging orbs and bumpers. From a business sense, I can see they reopen before Black Friday. They won't miss the holiday seasons, that's for sure.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
there is no chance of that happening, Google has never released a nexus dock in a timely manner, no manufacturer announced for this dock means its still several months away at the minimum

You can find both the LG WCP-700 and Nokia DT-900 at most Verizon stores. If you try the DT-900, I'd be interested in hearing if you had the problem I had (connect, disconnect, connect, etc). Be sure to watch the battery icon for a minute or two.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
If this was true it'd be on the site with "coming soon"

My best guess is this thing is still not even in the final mass production stages yet, otherwise they would have sold 10 then said they sold out coming soon :)

I'm betting on 4-6 months. Sometime around April.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonparekh:
I've been using the Energizer Dual Inductive Charger for the past few days and it's working great. I love not having to connect any wires -- never thought it'd be one of the features I love most.

I wish there were more slack in alignment, but no biggie. I'll lay down a slightly raised guide for it, so it doesn't slide off and I don't have to worry about it becoming misaligned from a slight tap of the night stand.

These can be picked up on eBay for fairly cheap (I found a buy-it-now for $24 shipped).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt.PP:
They wouldn't use "coming soon" because the product has been launched but they would just resume accepting orders. All tech companies are releasing in this time period of the major holidays. It would be insane to miss it.

Nokia DT-900

I've seen this video on youtube today (TechfastLunch&Dinner channel) and it says that the Nokia DT-900 wireless charger is working with a Nexus 4. I can remember that I've read in forums that it is not compatible. In the video I noticed that although the phone responds when is placed on the charger, it is not actually charging and when it starts charging the "Charging xx%" caption blinks and it is not stable as is with a cable charger. I've asked the uploader about that and I am waiting for an answer.

Anyway, this is the video:

Sorry it took so long to get back. Verizon has them in store, as well as at&t.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Because of the 'slickness' of the back surface, you'll need to add some sort of double-sided tape or something to the pad to keep it from sliding. I suspect this may be the case here, as I didn't have any of these problems personally.

In theory, yes. It's based on the 'Qi' standard, so assuming it doesn't do anything 'non standard', it'll work.

I have 2 on order, due in tomorrow.

Not too long, maybe a minute or two, but I didn't notice any connect/disconnect issues with the inductive charging. Like I said previously though, the nexus 4 slides off of EVERYTHING...so it may be as simple as adding something like a little square of double sided tape to just keep it from sliding. It should also be noted, that I didn't have any music playing when charging because it just slid right off. Not sure where you're located, but you may want to head to an at&t or verizon corporate store. A lot of times they have all that stuff out on display so you can see it working. The verizon I went to had two inductive chargers and the jbl speaker all out on display, so that may be your best bet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketuesday:
If you can't wait, for 10 extra bucks you can pick it up at a Verizon store. I just did. Works great.

I don't think its a full charge beep were talking about in reviews... I think the phone they were using incorporated a charge stop like in the evo where it would let the phone drop down to 90% then begin charging again and in turn forcing the beep for charging, my charger is on the way so I don't know.
