I think with Gps on, brightness, maps running, Pandora streaming, the phone would drain since qi charging is weaker then ac. There is a thread called car dock in this section. Ibolt posted there.
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisngrod:
My iPad handles all of that. Just need a little love for the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] JTNiggle:
If you need all of these things running, then there are very few chargers out there that would keep up. About 90% of the existing usb car chargers available only charge at 500ma, and right now, my wireless charger is just slightly better then that. So, yeah, if you need to have the screen at full brightness with maps and pandora running, then ur gonna be putting a strain on the battery.

I don't know who needs to drive around with maps/navigation running all the time, but there must be a few of you, cause it keeps getting mentioned as a reason not to have wireless charging. Do you really need navigation all the time? Do you not know where you are going? I use navigation often enough, but what I normally do is to find the best route and start my drive, when I get close or I need detailed directions to find the destination, then I fire up the navigation. So, I would generally only use it for the last 10% of the drive if I was going somewhere unfamiliar. Partly because I don't want to hear directions when I already know where I'm going.

As far as pandora goes, that's not much of a drain if ur in a good service area. I've streamed pandora for 9 hours straight while also using the phone normally and the dna still had juice left w/o any charging. So, pandora shouldn't be too much trouble here.

I can't really argue the brightness cause that comes down to outside conditions and preferences, but I rarely have my screen over 50% brightness unless I'm showing pictures/videos or just showing off how nice the screen is.

Battery life

I hear that wireless charging shortens battery life due to the excess heat produced from the process (energy lost through heat). How worried should I be to use Wireless charging on a daily basis?

[HTC Droid DNA] rjd584:
Does anyone have a link to this? I can't seem to find it.
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
This isn't something I've heard much about but I'd be interested to hear IF there's any truth to that however I can't find any factual evidence to support that claim. From my very limited experience I wouldn't say it gets nowhere near as hot as it would need to be to cause any damage regardless of it's your everyday solution.
[HTC Droid DNA] fwhite42:
Just got the LG/Verizon one from the local Verizon store, opened it up, removed the speaker, working like a champ. With discount it was $35.

The charge obviously isn't as fast as wall charger, but it's worth it just not having to screw around with the little flap that covers the USB port.
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
Yup that's the one I got. I actually picked 2 up from an AT&T store since I couldn't find them anywhere else. They were listed at $49 each, but I talked the guy into taking $30 off if I bought 2 :D

I'm loving it tho! I've only had to charge my phone when I goto sleep, so the speed of the charger doesn't bother me any. I haven't even used it during the day to even see if it seemed slow since the battery on this phone is so solid.

Is the wireless charger really worth the hassle? I like using my phone while it charges.
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisngrod:
Yes it is worth every bit of hassle. I believe anyone can get use to setting it on the pad from time to time. :laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
I'm thinking of getting one. Which is the best for around $60. Was thinking of getting the one for the n4
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
I'm pretty sure that isn't out yet.

I originally purchased the LG charging pad, for my DNA.

It works great, but I was tempted to try out the Nokia vertical charger, which charges your phone while keeping in upright.

I found the Nokia charger at a local AT&T store, and decided to spring for it. Costs about $70.

There are two advantages to the Nokia Wireless Charging Stand, in my opinion, over the LG pad, or other pads.

First, it takes up much less space on your desk or dresser. The pads need to be approximately the size of your cell phone, while the stand only needs room for a base, to hold the phone upright.

2nd, I downloaded Ady Clock from Google Play, a free app, which displays a clock with monthly calendar below it, along with battery level, sunrise/sunset times, and an alarm, all in dark blue against a black backdrop, to minimize battery drain!

This FREE app can be configured so that whenever I place my DNA on the Nokia Charging Stand, the phone launches and displays the Ady Clock clock/calendar! I can also configure it to either remain on indefinitely, or turn off after a limited time period, so that my phone charges more quickly!

While the LG charger works great, and charged my phone fine, my DNA basically just laid flat on my desk while charging! With the Nokia charger, my phone now doubles as a calendar clock and alarm clock while charging!

Whether or not these added benefits are worth the extra, approx. $20, to you, you'll have to decide.

I've been able to charge my DNA with the Diztronic case, as well as the Ballistic case, on both chargers. They're not the fastest chargers, (I placed my DNA on the Nokia tonight, at 7:30pm, with 13% charge, and it's now at 66% charge, over three hours later), but being I generally place my DNA on the charger right before I go to bed, it hasn't really been an issue.

LOVE not having to plug and unplug USB cables! Hope this helps you decide...
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
I'm loving the Nokia charger I got from Verizon. Works fantastic.
[HTC Droid DNA] Memnoch73:
Thanks for this write up. I will be getting one of these for the holidays and will look into that app.
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
Yes thank you for this little review. I'm really feeling the Nokia one.looks good and I like the stand compared to laying flat on the desk. Might have to get one for Xmas for myself lol
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisngrod:

[HTC Droid DNA] FlipMarc:
What's the cheapest wireless charging dock? From my quick search and considering I need it for two phones, it seems to be the Energizer 3 Position Inductive Charger for about $70.
[HTC Droid DNA] jessesam:
Is possible to flip the standing Nokia charger and use a pillow over it to charge ?

If its possible then stand / pillow will be a great combination so that I can switch between those .
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
I don't understand why people need to use that pillow.
[HTC Droid DNA] FlipMarc:

[HTC Droid DNA] moviemogul:
I literally have searched in Verizon, Best Buy, Target, and WalMart and cannot find a wireless charging pad. They have the LG on display at my store, but can't order any of them, and 611 is no help either.

[HTC Droid DNA] bigpapax:
I got this WCP-700 on sale at Verizon for my DNA. It appears to NOT be compatible with the DNA. It charges ok. Takes about 5 hours to go from dead to 99%, never gets to 100% (and turns phone RED HOT) , and never kicks out per instructions. I took the Verizon case off and tried it again. Charged to 99% in a few hours, but never hit 100, and about 4 hours later phone was RED hot, and 133 degrees with an infrared temperature checker. The directions also say you have to use a "wireless charging door." Also nowhere does it have QI on it. So it won't properly work with the DNA. so back it goes, and to make a point to them, I think I will let them replace this phone for killing it with heat. Also, this charging unit does not come up when you go to website to see accessories for it. So for all these reasons I warned you.
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisngrod:
I haven't looked this up, but I'm pretty sure that if it didn't fit the QI standard, it wouldn't charge. Wireless charges are known to create a lot of heat. They are not the most efficient means of charging. I wonder how many people to date have used this model on the DNA.... I make 1. Also used both Nokia charges. They heat up as well. Your device might not be running perfectly, but some of the statements were made as if they were fact. Just trying to stop people from freaking out here. I'm also on a very small laptop over this Christmas so sorry if I took it the wrong way.

EDIT: LG's site says "Simply place your device with Qi enabled wireless charging battery cover (sold separately) on pad for wire free charging". That is just because their devices require it.

Just like everyone else, ive been wrong before, and it would be awesome if I am this time. I just dont think it does a lot of good to speculate either way when the rollout doesnt even start till next year and most of us wont see it till a year after that

It just seems to serve to confuse people and get their hopes up when it probably wont even work with this phone.

Also, a number of people have unlocked the T999 for use on Sprint and Verizon and are not able to get LTE. Just sayin. Im leaving it at that though. :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moxis:
the nice thing about MSM8960 SOC board is that the radios can be programmed to virtually any current GSM, HSPA or LTE frequency in use in the United States today. the board has a RAT lock on it and not sure if it can be unlocked but all GS3's support any of the three frequency's. now if any one knows how to unlock and program them thats another story.. and just cause the software has a setting doesnt mean tmobile put it in there. and with the gs4 launching in feb-mar im not to sure they would even update the gs3. every one wants lte and if you have to buy a new phone to get it then thats how they make money.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] walliester:
Well I have talk to several people from samsung and tmobile and they said that the s3 is capable of the LTE, but you can't use them till the end of this year and beginning of 2013 .I hope this is true, if you guys don't believed me ask Samsung or T-Mobile and I try 5 times different people and they all told me the same ....

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
This is probably because they use the same build for all 4 models and it's easier to leave it in since 3 carriers carry it?

But anyways the s2 Hercules also had that option, but the hardware didn't allow it.

I dont' think they would pull out the LTE radio from thew chip just for T-mobile so I'm sure it's there BUT, T-mobile as being plain greedy of all companies across world has to release their Long Term Evolution Network on band NOT supported by S3 they will make more money on new phones possible Galaxy S3 Rocket or whatever
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Well thats your opinion. THere is no reason to post a thread about an opinion with zero information backing it up. It is quite rude of you actually. DocHoliday has been telling everyone that there is no possible way for our phone to support LTE. And why does he say this? Well because thats his opinion, but he has it backed by very simple to understand hardware specs. LTE is a total separate radio then the standard GSM that our device has. So unless they release a new S3 for T-Mobile, then the S3 will never see LTE. There is no amount of software hacking that will put a hardware component into a device. And every T-Mobile person i have asked confirmed the S3 will NOT support LTE. SO EVERYONE just leave it already.

What really annoys me is how you decided you just had to create a whole separate thread about this which has been discussed hundreds of times. you have an opinion great, post in a thread that already exists.

Hmmmm.... Read this all who think they know all:

"In the case of the Galaxy S III, the short, simplified answer is that Snapdragon S4 is a complete chipset that bundles the application processor, cellular radios, and LTE radio into a fast package that's ready now."

"Samsung's DiCarlo explained that opting for Snapdragon S4 inside gives the Galaxy S III LTE, GSM/CDMA, and a CPU in one manageable unit -- while still hitting a summer release date for all five U.S. carrier partners."

Skyworks 77762 SkyHi PAM for WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+/LTE

Qualcomm RTR8600 transifer which has support for lte

So, it is very possible that tmobile might enable LTE with a software update, anyone can feel free to correct me if im wrong, im not very experience with cellphone radio modules.

Hmm, T-Mobile doesnt have listed that it supports LTE. Now why is that.. oh thats right, cause it doesnt support LTE. Just because the S4 processor supports it, doesnt mean the phone has the other hardware capable for it. GSMarena lists ALL hardware specifications irregardless of the software capabilities.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] death1246:
it does have an LTE radio.. but t-mobile will not update the modem to support it.

The fact that t-mobiles LTE bands are the same as T-Mobile (so the news say) means when it's officially everywhere we can just load up the LTE radio on our GS3s... (and rom if anything is required from that state aswell...)

all GSM US models have the same hardware. And you put it up youself ATTs LTE will be on T-Mobiles bands. All we would need is the modem when they release it. (they being ATT) you wouldnt have 3G but you could test out the LTE... which is kinda stupid anyways without 3G
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] km3k:
I realize that T-Mobile probably won't have this phone support LTE, but just because T-Mobile only lists those frequencies doesn't mean anything. This phone also supports WCDMA and I've used that function of the phone while in South Korea, even though they don't list it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Actually, if you would have read the second link i posted, in there it clearly states T-Mobile does not have support for LTE.

For the record, thats not a T-Mobile website i got those specs from. Its called gsmarena.com where they list all hardware specs and capabilities of the phone regardless of the software.

Now ive provided plenty of proof confirming we will not be getting LTE on our devices (no im not "proud" of this it would have been nice to see that the phone im stuck with for TWO years will be supporting LTE which comes out in ONE year) but for terms of these senseless threads lets just put an end to them.

Correct information about TMO T999 GS# phones

Mr. elesbb...I would suggest you take a class in college called "Critical Thinking." In the class you are taught how to properly find legitimate sources for college papers and research. Most of the internet is filled with misinformation and if possible you are always supposed to get your information directly from the source and not from 2nd and 3rd parties. You have shown as proof a review website and a blog arguement...Not good sources at all.

I have seen so many websites showing the same information....That is that Qualcomm's chip that IS IN ALL Samsung GS3's is called the MSM8960 Snapdragon S4. Does anyone disagree with that? (pic from phone below)

All of the specs for that MGM8960 board clearly show that it comes with a fully integrated LTE radio. And here is a screenshot of the board specs in the unit from T-Mobile:

Notice it says Board: MSM8960 and Device: d2tmo

Now read the attached whitesheet DIRECTLY FROM QUALCOMM.

Then if you want you can read 2nd and third party information if you do not believe the first party info shown clearly on the screenshot and the spec sheet from Qualcomm.
