can anyone comment about magnet strength on their charging pads? I'm curious if you can lift it up at an angle or even possibly verticle and the phone would stay on
[HTC Droid DNA] weasel0x00:
Okay, here's a picture of the phone charing on one of the single energizer pads. Sorry about the picture quality.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
It takes about 10 minutes to remove the speaker. You'll need a set of glasses screwdrivers.

Not on the LG model.. not even close.
[HTC Droid DNA] soukie:
Hey does your charger make click noise when the phone is not on the charger?
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
All the Verizon stores around me were out of the Nokia charging plates, so I bought an LG one ($37 after 25% discount), it seems to work well but the phone gets very warm.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
Mine does not.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I got the Nokia pad when I got the DNA. It looks really nice on my desk. The phone is a little wobbly on it since the back is rounded, but it's nothing too bad. The Nokia charger has a small rubber ring in the center which, when combined with the DNA's rubberized back, holds the phone pretty well. The range is pretty good. There tolerance is great enough that 99% of the time when you drop the phone on the pad it'll charge. It can only charge when aligned though. You can lift the phone about 1/4" off the pad and it'll still charge, so anyone putting a case on it shouldn't worry.

My only issue is that is charges VERY slowly. I'd recommend one for bedside, and desks, but if you need to charge up quickly, or you're moving around a lot, you'll have to stick with the wired charger. I'll try and get some concrete figures on charge times / rates soon.

Does your phone get crazy hot on wireless pad? Mine got to 111f before pulling off, then again I was using it at the same time. Still. Can't be good on battery

[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
so to answer my own question. I went to a verizon store today to look at the phone and the wireless chargers, and there is no way that it would hold the phone by the magnets at any kind of angle, so it's off to building a nightstand out of wood for it to work with the wireless charger
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Did anybody try Nokia stand? I really like the idea, so it can sit up and you can see it. It also has NFC in it, might be fun.
[HTC Droid DNA] geeDoh:
I noticed mine makes a very slight clicking sound when plugged in. You have to get really close to it, but it's a little concerning. Can anyone else verify this?
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Mine does with the LG charger
[HTC Droid DNA] eleazar123:
I'm wondering this as well. Seems perfect for work.
[HTC Droid DNA] kenyu73:
Here is a summary of my findings that havent been discussed on this thread as of yet.

any Qi labeled charger will work (Nokia, Energizer, LG, Palm) to name a few

LG DOES have a loud beep and not good for the bedroom... remove the speaker if needed

You can order the Nokia from Verizon online and depending on your discount, you can get it as low as $35 with free shipping

dt-900 is the model of the colored Nokia chargers, but not sure if its the same model that Verizon is selling which seem to be only Blank and White.

DO

NOT

buy PowerMat. Its not compatible.

There's a few Energizer dual charges on eBay (link) from $35... Amazon has the single (sold out) and triple charger
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
The LG is also $35 on Amazon. The speaker takes about 10-15 minutes from start to finish to complete. Get yourself a set of screwdrivers used for repairing glasses and it's super easy.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

I have two and neither make this clicking sound.
[HTC Droid DNA] xowgax:
I kind of want to wait and see if anyone develops a wireless charging pad with it's own battery, such that it can be used as current pads, but also as a portable battery (charging in your phone in your pocket, possibly?)

Anyone heard about such a development?
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
That would be sick!!!

& how hard is it to take speaker out. Tutorial maybe? Mine should be here this week or early next and then i just need to find a dna! Can't find one on craigslist yet

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
Obtain some screwdrivers (small like eyeglass tools)

Remove rubber feet from bottom and remove the 4 screws

Seperate back from front by prying/pulling apart

Remove 4 screws that hold the circuit board and pull the board back

Look for the largest black box soldered to the board. This will also have a whitish colored adhesive wrap on part of thr black box

Peel the whitish sticker off to reveal the little silver tweeter inside visible through hole

Stick your screwdriver in that opening and pry the tweeter guts out while also making the hole bigger. It is very low grade plastic so making the whole bigger is easy to do. You are making the hole bigger to remove silver tweeter discs

Reassemble in reverse order and enjoy your noiseless charger.

Tried Nokia one at the local AT&T store, works like a charm. AT&T reps were all over my DNA :)
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
The problem with that is wireless charging is inefficient compared to regular charging, so you'd lose a lot of electricity in the process.

Anybody considered the Nexus round thing or knows anything about it? It's called Orb.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I picked up the Nokia charger yesterday and I noticed it charges very slowly. Today I put it to the test. With 4% remaining I put it on the pad and walked away. 3 HOURS LATER and it was only at 35%. I'm now at the 5 HOUR MARK, and it's only at 60%...

This can't be right. It's basically useless at that rate. I restated at the 3 hour mark and confirmed that the displayed level was correct.

They gave me no receipt at the Verizon store, I assume they can look up the sale in their system. Can I go to any corporate store or do I have to go back to the one I bought it from (very inconvenient)? Could it be my phone not the pad?
[HTC Droid DNA] BFirebird101:

[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
I got the VZW charger when I got the phone Wednesday and it works fine. In anticipation of needing a second charger at work, etc. I bought a Duracell Powermat Flexible Charging Hub and it and the DNA do not recognize each other nor charge. Are they simply incompatible and the Powermat needs to go back to Amazon?

More info: I now see a notification entry saying "Unable to charge device: Please use the supported charger."
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
I've read that Duracell is not compatible. It doesn't use Qi or something.

[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:

Does the VZW charger beep like the LG one?
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
Been reading this for a couple days and there has been a lot of useful info i have got. purchased the LG charger today from verizon. working great and charges about as fast as the wall plug does, just a hair slower. but just for anyone who thinks it's bulky....the charger is about the size of the galaxy note 2.Again thinks for all the info.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
It beeps once when it connects. Beeps multiple times when the device is not sitting right. Then I think it beeps once at 100%.

Now that I took a look at the box it came, in, it IS made by LG. I thought I read that somewhere.

The new one I ordered from Amazon to replace the Powermat is an LG also: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DMBSVA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
[HTC Droid DNA] Little Green Robot:
So what's the verdict on the Nokia charger? I like the style of it so I was leaning towards getting that one, but if its a slow charge then I might have to get the Energizer.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
i picked that one up from amazon a few days ago and received today and it has verizon logo on the back. is it that same one you bought?
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
Nokia mat works great with DNA. ordered black one through Verizon online store. Tried it at the local store. Perfect.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
No Verizon stores or Radioshacks around me stock any wireless chargers, so I'm going to pick up the Energizer one.
[HTC Droid DNA] kenyu73:
I just got the Nokia one today. I ordered it on Wednesday from Verizon online and it works ok. No beeps that I've heard yet and the charge area range is pretty good. I've heard some say it charges slowly, but if you use at when you sleep, big deal. For power users, you'll probably need a wall charger, but for most I think the bed side method will be just fine since we'll end up charging at work or in the car like normal.
[HTC Droid DNA] teebiss:
I went to my Verizon store in Modesto, CA yesterday to play with the different Qi wireless chargers. They had the LG and the Nokia.

My DNA fit nicely on the LG pad. It was easy to situate. The phone started charging right away. The only thing I didn't like about the pad was the extremely loud beeps.

The Nokia was quite smaller, much smaller than the size of the DNA. I had to monkey around with the phone to get it situated. No beeping, thankfully.

I liked the LG the best, but the beeping was a deal breaker. I'm thinking Energizer single pad or Nexus 4 pebble.

You can't use Duracell. It's not Qi.

[HTC Droid DNA] boushidosan:
I don't have my DNA yet, but I have a couple of the Palm Pre plus Inductive charging docks,

I would assume the DNA just has some magnetic induction charging coils? I would like to see if I can charge it using the charger I already have, or if I am retarded.

Ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
The DNA uses the Qi wireless charging standard. Other chargers will not work.

Car Dock with Qi charging for DNA...

All, we here at iBOLT have been testing a new and soon-to-be announced car-dock with integrated Qi charging designed for the DNA (and also all other HTC phones). I've been driving around with it today, literally. We'll make sure that a link is posted here in this thread as soon as we can share photos and specs (about a week or so). So far it works very well without case and also with a gel case or a 1-layered hard case. However, when tested with a super heavy case that has both a hard shell then a rubber cover the wireless charging doesn't reach all the way to the phone, or it is very weak. Our concept for this car-dock is to start the car-mode with an NFC tag so you can use the very nice integrated HTC car-mode app or download an after-market solution like CarHome Ultra. Or, you can just program the NFC tag to start your favorite app and connect to Bluetooth (for example).

No MSRP price yet but figure a price similar to a car dock + the charging pad as it's the same components baked into one. We'll do our best to keep it low. A very cool end user experience I must say, just dock the phone with a 1-hand motion and it is charging and it goes into car mode... Stay tuned:)
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
if you happen to need anymore testers i would be happy to volunteer, since i use my phone as a gps unit all the time
[HTC Droid DNA] weasel0x00:
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these... Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] JTNiggle:
This is great news, get this thing ready to ship!

My DNA will be here in 5 days, I would love to never have to use a usb charger. I already got a wireless pad for home and work, just need the car dock to round it out. So get his thing out and keep us posted, I'm sure plenty here will buy it when it's ready.

Not out of the box.

Sent from my Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
Is it capable of keeping a GPS + Music Streaming running on the phone and actually charge it? I just did a 7 hour trip and the 1A usb port on my charger actually couldn't keep up with the phone and i had to switch it over to the 2A port to actually keep the battery from decreasing.

also i had an Atrix HD and the car dock came with the charger built in (not wireless, but still charging port nonetheless) I hope this would be priced around the same if not cheaper.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
Yes, it does have a Verizon logo on the back but then VZW logos everything they touch. It also says Wireless Charging Pad WCP-700 , like I said, the box says LG.
[HTC Droid DNA] MikaelPe:
Very valid question. If you have the the screen is on full brightness, running GPS, streaming music and making phone calls, the handset must be able to receive "full charge", usually 600-800mA in order to "keep up" and avoid a negative draw. We are just in the testing and evaluating phase of these different scenarios to see if the car-dock must have a "backup" microUSB charging solution to support this scenario. We'll keep everyone posted here in this thread with our findings over the next week or so.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
As i was saying, i was probably pushing the phone to it's limits with my usage on that trip, but I was exceeding the charge rate from my 1A USB port on my car charger and had to switch it over to the 2A one. though on the same note My phone was unplugged for the first ~3 hours because the charger wasn't in all the way and my DNA only dropped to 17% battery before i realized this and pushed the car charger in properly.

Unless the charger would be pretty close to the break even point i doubt it would be an efficient car dock for anything but short trips which wont require GPS usage or a car dock.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
For all who keep asking:

Wireless charging is for convenience, not efficiency.

It is well-known that inductive charging is slow and creates a lot of heat from the wasted electricity.

We can only hope its the coils heating up and not the battery. Otherwise it will shorten the battery life considerably. I think it is probably the coils.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
Running some battery stats after a few days of use, it seems that on the Nokia Qi charger I get a charge rate of about 18% per hour. Honestly, that's disappointingly low. At that rate a full charge takes over 5 hours. Does anyone else have this charger and can provide similar tests?
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
They will all likely be that slow. My LG is.

I only use it overnight.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
The bad news is that the Powermat Bundle I got did indeed come with a portable battery unit that had a built-in micro cable so you could take a second charge with you. The Powermat had three "pads" so you could charge your phone on one and the portable battery on another plus even another receiver unit that you could plug into a non-wireless device, However, as we've learned, the Powermat is not Qi-compatible and does not charge the phone.

Great idea they have but useless since it's not Qi unless you simply want the portable battery thingie but then why not just get a ZaggSparq?

Modification of the LG Qi Wireless Charging Pad WCP-700

I really like the LG Qi Wireless Charging Pad WCP-700 modified it to better work on my desk at work. I like being able to access the device without removing it from the charger so I fabricated this fix. The key is some anti stick material at the bottom to prevent the phone from sliding off when it is on the charger.

Check it out. I put together some directions but it is pretty straight forward once you realize how easily it can be done. The LG charger is very good looking and professional it fit right in at my office. With this mod I really like it. Have fun.

Got my Nokia pad, and it works amazingly well, charged from 50% to 95% in 2hours which is expected, no thermal issues, whatsoever. Phone is barely warm on touch when taken off the charger. And the pad looks great!

Couldn't be happier!
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
It cools off as it tops off the charge. It ends up being lightly warm to the touch at that point.
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
It's barely warm when taken off the charger at any point not only as it tops off the charge.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I'm finding out that interference from other electronics as well as position of its own cord, and how close to spot on you are with the coils will affect heat.

I readjusted my LG and the phone is heating up a lot less.

Interesting.
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
That's interesting. It took about 4.5hrs to fully charge from 1% with LTE/WiFi ON. About 2 hours slower than with the USB charger, wish the USB charger was a bit more powerful though...
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
For those of you that have wireless chargers, are the cords removable? If they are, what kind of connector is it? It sure would be nice if it was a microUSB plug so that I wouldn't have to have a separate cord to connect my phone to my pc for various reasons.

[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
The Nokia DT-900 has a removable cord but its not USB (it's a tiny round jack, probably 9v, but it could be 12v, I'm not sure). It also has a HUGE white power converter. Not so big that it blocks other outlets, but it seems unnecessarily large and it's so light I feel like it has to be mostly empty space inside.

I've been watching my charging and I've figured out these rough numbers:

Wireless Charging: ~18%/hr

USB Charging:~20%/hr

AC Charging: ~25 %/hr
[HTC Droid DNA] WorldOfJohnboy:
I have been using the Nokia pad and really like it. What I would REALLY like to see is a wireless car charger built into a car dock. Or at least a wireless car charger so that I can custom build it into a dock/clip.

This is absolutely a killer if you can get it to market for a decent price. I know I'll buy one if you can keep the price below $60; under $100 and I'll think about it. But my Garmin just died so I'm planning to use the DNA as my primary car navigation tool, and it would be awesome if I could just stick it into the mount and have it charge and navigate without messing with cords or plugs.

Please let us know as soon as you have it available (and if you do need beta testers, I definitely volunteer!!!!!)
