[Nexus 4 Accessories] A-Squared:
LoL dude...

LoL thanks for reminding me of the reason heatsinks are made of copper and not styrofoam LoL!!

"A case with higher thermal conductivity would lead to a lower temperature"

Depends on what you mean. If the lower part of the phone were less thermally conductive, then the heat (logically) would rise and move towards the more thermally conductive glass on the face of the phone, ya? Therefore being dissipated in the direction of the glass. Certainly the phone would get warmer overall as well...

In the case of the Nexus 4, the glass is quite thermally conductive AND it's on both the front and the back of the phone. So the back of the phone gets super toasty because the induction coil is right behind the glass right? Believe me, the front of the phone gets pretty warm too.

LoL...

Forget the GS3, explain THIS to me dude:

From user "Solutions Etcetera" (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35433854&postcount=72)

His max wireless charging temp is 36*C, and his rate of charging is comparable to my Nexus 4 rate of charging on USB. I would LOVE to know why...

How is his average temp closer to ~32*C while my average wireless charging temp is 38.4*C? A full 11*F difference. Surely our ambient temperatures aren't varying that much... work/home temps for example. Might be good to include ambient temps too...

"I also agree with the others and think we should discuss temps in the heat thread and leave this one for other questions."

TEMPS are a result of wireless charging (on the WCP-700 sometimes) and are therefore wholly related to the WCP-700 and whether or not it works "perfectly" as indicated by the OP. If you're tired of discussing temperatures, then don't say anything about it, just ignore it right? No-one is forcing you to address temperature related comments. But certainly temperatures are absolutely a part of the discussion of whether a wireless freaking charger works perfectly or not. Hell, we don't even all agree on what "perfectly" is!!

For some, like yourself, perfectly = 38-39*C, you see nothing wrong with this and that's OK. We all have our own opinions and frames of reference, comfort levels, etc. etc. I don't "judge" you for that LoL.

For others, "perfectly" = 32*C max temp while charging wirelessly...

If you tired of the temps that's fair enough, it doesn't bother me at all... Just don't try to separate a discussion of performance metrics (a fundamental indicator of device function) from a discussion about the functioning of a charger LoL.
