Just got my N7 to replace my CM9/10 NookColor. My wife had gotten be a really nice case for the Nook. It is smooth matte black leather, I love the look and feel of it. Anyone figure out a way to make N7 fit into Nook case? May have to try some velcro on the back of the N7 8-/

Download the beta 4 version of the latest launcher from the Go team which is called the 'Next launcher'. Looking at the features of the launcher i would say that its an amalgamation of the SPB shell 3D launcher and the TSF launcher. But the 3D look is awesome ! :D

The file is attached below. install and check it out guys :)

It will work on Gingerbread and up.

See the video here-

This issue should be taken a lot more seriously when Google/LG are touting wireless charging as a feature. This device gets pretty hot when charging wirelessly. Please comment if you're also having this issue. I feel like it is grossly underreported compared to the cracked glass, sound in speaker, etc. (Probably because not a lot of people have inductive chargers yet).

P.S. I'm using the Energizer single spot charger.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
My phones have always gotten warm while charging without inductive. This one I would imagine might be a little more pronounced since glass does conduct heat much better than plastic. Just the nature of inductive charging I would imagine would create more heat on top of that.

[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Where there is energy, there is heat.
[Nexus 4 General] trent25:
Does the inductive charger generate heat?

If so then it's just an additive effect, especially that most chargers being used unlike the still MIA charging orb (GOOGLE!!! GRrrr) cover up the entire back of the N4 and prevent any ventilation.
[Nexus 4 General] SBGS-FTW:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Ijs

Furthermore and piggybacking off an earlier post regarding glass conductivity, I've refrained from purchasing the inductive chargers that are currently on the market. I haven't thoroughly done any research about the glass of the N4, but the inductive charging kits typically are used concurrently with a device appropriate sleeve. In that sleeve is the inductor and terminations to the devices power port. That sleeve can be wrapped in glass or plastic and most likely it takes the brunt of the energy (power charging) sparring the device. All that being said, I personally don't know the standards if any for power output, but it has to be enough to send energy through the sleeve to the device at a rate comparable to traditional charging methods. So if people are reporting the glass on their N4 cracking because of inductive charging, it's plausible reason is the charger is overrated/phone material is underrated. BTW, that may be a reason why Google hasn't marketed the infamous charging orb we all have seen.

That's just my theory/opinion. Unfortunately I don't care enough to do that research on those gadgets, but interested in what others find. :D

I wonder if placing four small rubber bumpers on the wireless chargers face plate, and then place the phone on the bumpers may act as an air gap between the charger and the phone, perhaps help in cooling?
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
I mentioned this in another post somewhere, but I have the LG WCP-700 and have one of those square grippy dashboard mats on top of it. Mainly to keep the phone from sliding, but I did notice that it does charge cooler than when I didn't have it on there.
[Nexus 4 General] RedBullet:
I originally bought a Zens inductive charger, it was nice but had this feature where it turned off when it was done charging and then turned right back on again. Basically when the phone was charged it would go through this cycle a couple of times a minute which was pretty annoying with the notifications windows that would open on the phone.

So, I bought the LG unit to compare. And the LG unit doesn't have that issue, and it does get warm (though not hot).

But...

I can't tell if the unit just stays on or not. The green light is flashing which I *assume* means it is charging. Even when the phone is charged.

Is that your experience too?

Overheated!!!!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude,

I saw your post and HAD to reply. I have been experiencing the SAME issues!! Phone gets QUITE warm and even HOT while charging wirelessly!!

THIS MORNING I awoke to find my screen a mess of grey and yellow shît!! I got pretty worried so I powered it off... Upon powering it on again, the screen was light grey and washed out, and flickering slightly... As it booted and returned to the home screen, everything in terms of color went back to normal...

I called Google Play this morning (At around 07:30) and the guy was NO help at all. I'm going to call again later to see if I can get someone with a brain (trust me, the guy was not helpful AT ALL, and went as far as to make fun of Indian accents LoL, moron. He thought I said that I was in India, but said it didn't sound like it. I replied "I'm not, but I could be". He then proceeded to say "No, I'm am not in India" with a mocking Indian accent, to which I replied "Well my girlfriend is LoL").

Anyway, using Wireless Charger LG WCP-700 (The "Verizon" wireless charging pad).

I'm contemplating a factory reset... although I HATE the idea of having to back everything up and restore...

I'll post back when/if I have more information...

Really? Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Surely you MUST be joking?? Physics?? You mean that's how my electric toothbrush has been charging wirelessly since I was 10 too?? Dude... I am floored.

Helpful reply you posted there...

I'm not sure we care about "physics" here per se, I think we care more about finding out why our phones are charging 5-8*C hotter wirelessly than wired... I also think that we're more interested in resolving the problem of waking up to find a phone that has CRASHED due to overheating while wireless charging. And MAYBE (bear with me, I know this is a stretch), maybe we're more interested in getting replies from other people that have had similar experiences than we are in being welcomed to the world of physics... I think we might be more interested in getting posts that provide insight into the problem reported by the initial poster. I know, I know, I'm grasping at straws here... B-Fields, induction, inductive loops, conversion losses, and the MANY related topics are very interesting (really they are, I studied engineering and am fascinated by these things)... It would be nice if you could actually contribute something to the thread. Otherwise, why bother posting? Beats me... what do I know.

Hey Ace, it was the Google phone rep that made the racist remark. My girlfriend is Indian, and I would never have made a disparaging remark like that to total stranger. You don't even make any sense dude. Maybe I should edit my post to make it clearer.

How about you learn how to read before slinging accusations ;). Why would I come on here to post racist remarks?? I came here looking for information and with a desire to contribute information so that we might better understand the problem... I'm currently on my second call with Google and will report anything noteworthy after the call...

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Second called to Google Play Device Support (shortened version):

Me: Phone charges at 32-34*C with USB, rises to 39-40*C when charging wirelessly AND charges more slowly. This morning I awoke to a crashed phone and had to power cycle it, plus the display was washed out grey until the home screen appeared.

Rep: Maybe the charger is the problem.

Me: I have TWO chargers, both give me the same problem. Also, the WCP-700 was submitted to the FCC on August 23rd for certification along with the Nexus 4. They were tested together...

Rep: Maybe the charger is not compatible.

Me: The charger is Qi compliant and it's

made by LG

, the phone is also Qi compliant, so it IS/SHOULD BE compatible.Additionally I have read posts from other users that report NO problems with wireless charging with the same Nexus 4 and WCP-700.

Rep: Well we support the phone not the charger, you should call LG

And that's what I got out of my second call to Google Play Support...

Next: Calling LG...
[Nexus 4 General] Solutions Etcetera:
I think longer charge times are a given with inductive charging as it is not 100% efficient transfer of current. Guessing that the current that is not transfered in that less than 100% process is given off in heat. In any event, 40°C isn't very hot, and I can't imagine that temp was responsible for what you woke up to.

Is it possible that something else is going on?
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
Temps...

Hi there! Thanks for your reply.

I think what you're saying is very plausible, and I would agree in general (that induction incurs losses). BUT, there is evidence from people posting that wireless charging works as fast as USB charging does for them. My Aunt & Uncle have Galaxy S III's that they use with this WCP-700 Wireless Charging Pad, and their phones charge just as fast wirelessly :(. It IS possible of course that the Nexus 4 might charge more slowly... This is definitely what I have observed, but I don't think it's "normal" due to the substantially higher temps :-/.

Honestly I have to disagree with you on the temperature thing... I think 40*C (104*F) is pretty high. It's not insanely high, but it's high enough that I wouldn't want the phone to be exposed to those temperatures every time it's charged, weeks, months and eventually a year or two... Heat is the "enemy" of batteries and electronics in general. It's high enough to be uncomfortable to hold (e.g. back glass pressed against my face at 40*C). I've had several phones (SonyEricsson P910 & T30, HTC Sensation, HTC Amaze, iPhone 4S and 5 for work) and I don't recall any of these phones ever getting this hot while charging normally (USB of course).

40*C is ~20% higher than my average USB charging temps, and I don't feel that a 20% increase can be accounted for by induction losses.

I'm going to stream Netflix to get my battery down to 40-50% and then throw it on the wireless plate and see how high the temps go... If some of the users that are having success with wireless charging, maybe they could post their battery temps for comparison?

NOW that I'm looking back at my battery temperature history, I see that the temperature went from 32.2*C to 46.3*C on the 26th of November from about 13:00 to 14:00 which was a Monday and I probably had it on the Wireless Charging plate... 46*C is insane for a phone, so I definitely think something is screwy...

I'll report back with the results of dropping it to 40-50% and back to 100% (or as close as possible) with the wireless charger...

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

"and I can't imagine that temp was responsible for what you woke up to."

Honestly, I think it's related. I haven't seen that behavior at any other point in time... I've had navigation going, music streaming at the same time, bunches of apps open in the background, phone calls, Netflix, taking photos... and the phone has been perfectly stable, not a single crash. The only time I ever found the phone unresponsive and quite frankly looking like shît was this morning after a wireless charge :(...
[Nexus 4 General] Chrono_Tata:
Sorry if I'm being pedantic about physics but a temperature increase from around 32°C to 40°C isn't a 20% increase in temperature. I understand you are calculating from the base of 0°C but 0°C is actually just an arbitrary point the the scale of heat energy, set by being the freezing point of water. If you really want to calculate the percentage increase in temperature you'd be better off doing it in Kelvin. Even then the value isn't going to be very useful without doing a bunch of other complex calculations on how much energy it would take to heat up your phone.

Anyway there are several ways for energy to get wasted in inductive charging which probably will contribute to your phone overheating. It's possible that your phone has some defect that makes the inductive charging bad but since it's not an "obvious" fault I can imagine customer service would not want to recognise it. Keep going at it and see what happens I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
Not At All :)

Dude, I don't think you're being pedantic at all. I made a mistake :). 32*C to 40*C is an increase of 25%!!. Nice find, and thanks for pointing it out.

I also understand and happen to agree with your comments about using *K and having to include a host of other measurements and calculations. Since that's not likely to happen, I'm just going based on (1) my observations, (2) the observations of others, (3) my comfort level and experience with electronic devices (hard drives, laptops, other phones and devices with batteries/CPUs/Memory all in close proximity). Hell, it's not pleasant to hold the device when it's at >40*C. Material tolerances are not the only thing to consider, there's also the user experience... Plus the fewer fluctuations in temperature the better, in my opinion. Being aware of the principles of thermal expansion and knowing that I have metal, plastic, glass, silicon, and adhesive etc. jammed close together in a tasty Nexus sandwich leads me to favor stable temperatures.

BUT, it remains that some have had NO problems with wireless charging (no major increase in temps and no reduction in charging speed), while others (even if a minority) have had issues.... This should not be the case. Charging user experience should be the same across the board for a given set of conditions (case/no case, screen protector or not, ambient temps, etc. etc.).

"It's possible that your phone has some defect that makes the inductive charging bad but since it's not an "obvious" fault I can imagine customer service would not want to recognise it. Keep going at it and see what happens I guess."

I agree entirely, and thanks for the encouragement :) :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Chrono_Tata:
Yeah, I don't disagree that 40°C is way too high for a good level, I was really pointing this out since I disagreed with your previous comment that inductive loss could not account for a 20% (or 25% :p) increase in heat. 20% sounds like a huge amount but as I said it's a completely arbitrary number. It's perfectly possible that dissipated induction loss heat would have caused most of it, depending on a bunch of factors, but it's likely that the phone could be defective too. Or the charger; who knows at this point.
[Nexus 4 General] goldfingerfif:
I have the LG WCP-700 and the Oregon Scientific QW201 with the LG for my GF and the LG for myself.

Do you use DayDream feature? If I had this on and my phone with the wireless charger would get hot. If it was off center but still barely charging it would get really HOT. My guess is 45C-55C (115F -130F) depending on how off center, battery level, etc., it would be too hot to touch at times and lost battery %.

Turning off DayDream (and screen completely) with making sure inductive coils are lined up has made it just get warm maybe 90F +/- 10
[Nexus 4 General] DrBrick:
There should be some heat from the induction and some heat from the battery charging. I would be curious to see what LG/Google considers a normal range for induction charging with the Nexus 4. I intend to pick up an induction charger soon so maybe we can compile temperature readings and figure out what the trend is.
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
LoL

Ahhhhh. I see your point now... And I agree, 20%/25% are arbitrary values in that sense that we/I can't say otherwise without certainty without doing some "real" tests (e.g. with instruments). Yeah good point...!

I like the look of the post after yours too, he makes an interesting point... will reply
[Nexus 4 General] danlo:
I actually had to turn off Day Dream because my phone would stop charging as it got so warm. I'm using the Energizer pad.
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
Good point...!!

Interesting that you should say that!! I DO in fact use DayDream... and I always try to put the phone on the wireless charging pad in the most "centered" position... You know, I'm going to refer to photos that I've seen of the phone OPEN to see exactly where the center of the inductive loop is... that way I can line the center of the loop in the phone and the charger as closely as I can.

NOW... I have been making an effort to turn the screen OFF while it's charging... Since I've noticed it getting toasty, I've been putting it on the wireless charger and then manually turning the screen off so keep temperatures low...

CHARGING

- I dropped the phone to 26% by watching George Carlin...

- I put it on the wireless charger at 14:30 (with DayDream off).

Charging Start:

Battery Temp: 31*C

Charge: 26%

- As of 14:50 charge is up to 38% and the battery temperature is up to 38.3*C. Keep in mind charge % is not linear with time, it tends to go fast and then slow down (like a reverse exponential I think... I forget the exact term). It's warm now, but not ridiculous yet. I'll continue to monitor it.

Thank you all for your feedback.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Good insight!! Although I have been forcing the screen off after starting wireless charging and it's still getting toasty :(
[Nexus 4 General] 320flyboy320:
What about turning the phone off, and placing it on the charging pad when it's off, does is still get hot then?
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
Can't Wait

That would be IDEAL!! And would provide some useful data...
[Nexus 4 General] sidamos77:
There are reports in the Google bug tracker (don't remember the issue number) that DayDream uses a lot of energy apparently, also when using the normal charger.
[Nexus 4 General] A-Squared:
Data So Far...

START

14:30 Wireless charging start at 26% and 31*C

14:50 38.3*C 38%

15:06 39.4*C 44%

15:32 39.9*C 52%

16:00 40.2*C 58%

Sucks. Phone has warmed up to ~40*C (Not too bad). Phone is in standby, screen off. Wifi On & connected, Bluetooth on and not connected, HSPA+ On.

With USB charging, phone would have easily gone from 26% to 80-something% in 1.5 hours at 34-35*C battery temp.

Instead, with wireless charging it has progress only increased by 32% up to 58% in 1.5 hours, and it's warmer at ~40*C.

Disappointing to say the least.

16:32 39.8*C 68%

TWO HOURS HAVE ELAPSED. +42% Charge (pathetic). USB charging would be almost 100% at this point.

17:00 40.6*C 75%

If anyone else could post some data that would be GREAT.

I'll collect USB charging data and post it, probably tomorrow morning.

Thanks again everyone for your input!!
[Nexus 4 General] Solutions Etcetera:
If induction charging is achieving the same rate as a copper connection, it must be using more current. Even a high quality transformer has a certain amount of insertion loss, and an inductive charging circuit is far from an efficient transformer.

And again, 40°C is nothing when compared to CPU temps under high load. These pups can hit 180°F under some circumstances, but not sure just where the thermal throttling on the N4 takes hold. I still think something else is going on here.
[Nexus 4 General] psrobinson:
don't charge face down

I have one of the cheap chargers. When I put a case on the phone the charger wouldn't work any more. My son suggested I turn the phone face down. At first, that appeared to work. However, after a while the charger started smoking and actually melted in places. So, don't do that.
