So I bought one of these, and so far the charger does not shut off while using it. I do have a vent blowing directly on the back side of the charger. Will let you know how well it works when it hits 97 degrees today.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pedxing:
Same. Works well when it's right in front of the vent. Still a little annoyed it thinks the max charge is about 92%. I get this on the table charger as well. Based on other posts this seems typical. Any way to get it to charge to 100%?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] delrazor:
Honestly, it's a random thing with my desktop charger. Sometimes I wake up and its at like 89% as it reached 92% and stopped. Other times it reaches 100% and stays there for a couple of hours until I wake up in the morning. Every morning is a bit different.

I would just like to say that after a few months using the car pad (in a black car, no ac, which I park outside) I am exceedingly happy. I regularly get about 6% increase while streaming music and all of my radios on during my 30 minute commute. Using GPS navigation actively with voice bumps it down to 2-4%. I don't have the battery control reading right now since I've just been casually monitoring it, but I can get a screenshot later. Most importantly, it keeps my phone from dying even in the single digits, so if I forget to charge it after work or am going home after a night out, even if the battery is completely depleted I can use my phone for GPS and music. I don't know if the one I got was a fluke, or if the problems reported in here are just the loud minority, but I in no way regret this purchase. The dock looks great, works with both my nexus and my sister's galaxy s3 quite nicely, and moves from car to car with ease. I was a little worried what would happen when the Ohio valley started heating up, but I haven't noticed any issues.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deim:
One problem drives me crazy: owl stops charging at random times. Indicator changes to green, and that's it. Phone's battery goes down, down, down. If I move phone up an inch and put it back, it starts charging. And minute later - stops again.

Sometimes it keeps charging for longer - best was about 10 minutes.

It is not an overheating problem. Pad is in front of vent, pad and phone are ice-cold. Either my owl is defective, or... Sorry to say, but I regret getting it. So far it was just a very crappy experience. Waste of money. Would not recommend anyone getting it.

P.S. I ordered that LG round charger with holder. Maybe that one will be better...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mpdt:
So having the charger in front of a vent does stop it from overheating, but I still only get about 10% charge on a thirty minute drive, with the phone in stand by.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wollac11:
It's here!

My LG Qi charging pad arrived last week and so I've had a little while with it now and I must say: it is wonderful! So long as you make sure you use a charger that provides at least 1.8A (the pad is actually rated for an input of 1.8a min) it works really really well. The charge time was actually marginally quicker than it was with the original Nexus 4 LG charger plugged into the microUSB socket (although the Qi charger is running off a stronger power supply obviously).

The phone does get quite warm if it is charging for a long time so I think that is just a common effect of QI chargers but it doesn't seem to have any performance effects on the phone. The charge zone is really not fussy (again so long as your charger is up to it) and you can literally just slap it on any which way and it will charge which should make it good in the car. The phone also makes a satisfying noise when you drop it on and the LED changes from orange/yellow to flashing green so you know it is charging.

Although I don't yet have the car attachment I have tested it with car-like scenarios indoors and I am pleased to report so long as you get a power supply / charger thats up to it, the pad will output enough to still charge the phone while running Google Navigation and streaming music from Spotify or Google Play over bluetooth with the screen on (using either WiFi or HSPA+). It will charge quite slowly with all this stuff running but it will actually charge not just maintain or a reduced drain. With less intensive activities it will charge much faster obviously but this is true however you charge your device. It provides a reliable charge and does not disconnect. I leave my phone on there a lot and I have not once had it stop charging.

So there you have it. At last a great Qi charger that when fed enough power will work just as you would have hoped. It is great by the bedside, on a desk or when combined with a car attachment, potentially a great QI car dock! I shall be purchasing the car addon I linked to at a later date, at which point I may pick up a second pad just for the car because I love it so much and I am not sure I would do without my one in the house now. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deim:
Completely concur! With LG charger problem of random charging stops is gone, charging works as expected - just works!

Definitely need a powerful usb charger - I am using 2.1A.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
So... has anyone tried that LG WCP 300 car mount thing? Any videos or actual accounts on how well/bad it works?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I have it. It works fine, except it still does not maintain a charge of using gps and streaming.

The Nokia one is available in uk (just got email today about it), but I live in the us. That's the one I've really wanted to try.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deim:
I have it in my car, got it here - LG charger and holder.

connected to SCOSCHE usb charger - 2.1A.

When I am running 1) streaming (TuneIn Radio) and 2) gps (Waze) phone is actually charging, slowly though.

When I am running 1) streaming (TuneIn Radio), 2) gps navigation (Waze) and 3) Ingress (extremely gps-heavy!), then whis LG charger is just preserving battery on the constant level.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
With screen on and auto brightness? I have tried 2 diff 2.1 amp car chargers with same results :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deim:
Yes, screen is ON (I have a rule in Tasker with the use of SecureSettings plugin - to keep screen ON whenever I run WAZE or INGRESS).

Auto brightness. In a day it is mostly a MAX brightness.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Can either of you guys post a picture of it in your car? Just want to get a proper real world look of it.

Also, wasn't there problems with the Nokia charging plate holding a charge for the Nexus4? Cause if the car one works, I'd love to take a stab at that too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I don't have another camera to take a picture of while phone is in it. It really looks exactly like the picture though.

The n4 dots have problems with the plate, but have high hopes for the Nokia one lol. I wish I could get these other mounts to work with the cd slot mount.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
I saw that this dock has the ball style on it, so maybe you could find a way to make it work with a similar mount?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I've been trying. But the cd slot I've I like uses a different style. The qi one Is the typical universal ball type :(. If I was crafty I could some how make it work, but I'm afraid it would include a lot of duct tape lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deim:
Here it is.

I've replaced an arm it came with - it was regular short one. Phone gets so hot in summer while Qi-charging. So, to place it in a front of vent, I've replaced short arm with ARKON 8.5" arm

That strange thing underneath an arm is a soft base I made from some foam. Arm is long, and phone is hanging in the air completely, so, to prevent it from swinging and shaking I cut a piece of foam, wrapped it in black tape, and zip-tied it to the arm. Works like a charm and costs $0! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] iteese:
Thanks for the links. Just bought both.

Now to find a long (3m/10') charge only USB cable to hind away behind the dash... anyone know where I can get one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pedxing:
Close to a dead thread but I thought I'd mention it....the desktop owlpad will work to charge the new nexus 7 2013.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
I just ordered one for my GS4 with the vent clip attachment. I'll let you know how well it works out once it gets here from Korea.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ubermetroid:
I just ordered one for my Ultra Maxx + Otterbox. (I got the All version). I will report back once it arrives.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
Welp. I got it today. First impressions are that the vent clips may not be 100% compatible with a 2004 Chevy Impala in that they move around a little bit, but I wonder if that just needs a little more finagling. Second thought is that I can't mount it to either vent near to where I sit on the driver's side due to obstructions, so I end up mounting it further toward the passenger side seat. Might need to go ahead and pick up a sticky mount for the dash after all.

Further, the Qi portion of it got extremely warm in the fifteen minutes I had it hooked up and charging my GS4, even with the A/C on full blast right behind it. The phone itself didn't get warm to the touch, but it did charge right through the vinyl BodyGlove bumper case I have. Other than that, it is actually well built (or at least feels it) and it feels better (all-in-one quality vs kludged together) than if I had tried to make my own Qi charger with a car mount.

Initial impressions are actually not bad. I think this was a good deal and while I like the car cable, I think I might want a second one so I can tie it directly into my (vehicle on) +12v line so I can have an auto charger when the car is running but still retain one in case I want to move the mount to a loaner vehicle, or my wife's vehicle. Without going back and re-reading 60+ pages of thread, does any one know if Moon sells just the cable? I can't seem to find it on the website. Or better, if I can just use a standard cable to tie it into the +12v line bypassing the one I got?

If no one knows, I suppose I'll take it apart and see if there's any kind of special conversion going on with the bit that goes into the power outlet.

Also, more to come at a later date when I've used it extensively.

Droid Maxx and wireless charging

Just ordered a Droid Maxx, thinking the Griffin car dock was good enough, ugh, it's crap, why didn't I read reviews! Maybe it's still get it, but I've got a 17mm ball proclip mount that I love using. So I need a car dock that takes this ball.

Has anyone tried the LG car dock wireless qi setup with a Droid Maxx?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tr1ppo:
This device OWL CAR PAD FOR NEXUS 4 will be compatible with NEXUS 5 ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
Isn't that a little too soon to call? Admittedly the arms on all the charging holders are bendy so they'll accomodate a slightly larger profile than they're made for, so that might help you decide.

Why don't you buy one when you get your Nexus 5 and let us know? :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ChocoboX:
Actually, I was thinking the same. I heard it's gonna probably be a 5" phone. The Nexus 4 is 4.7" so It would be really nice to have it compatible with the next Nexus.

I really love the look of this charger http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...E-/110978510653?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

But I think the wireless charging is more important to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tr1ppo:
Already I use the owl car pad for nexus with nexus 4 and I looking to buy nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] qoncept:
Just frustrated with my Owlpad and wanted to know if there's anything I can do at this point. I bought both the car and desktop wireless chargers for my Galaxy S4.

The desktop charger worked for about 30 seconds and then would start flashing a red light. When I unplugged the charger and plugged it back in, it would do the same thing. I emailed and got a replacement that didn't work at all.

The car charger always worked pretty unreliably - with enough adjustments it would eventually work. After a couple weeks it stopped working altogether. I emailed again, got a replacement, and this one again doesn't work at all. When I put my phone on it, the light turns red, the phone never indicates it is charging, and after about 5 seconds the light flashes between green and red.

Then, kind of unrelated, I got a different supposedly Qi-compatible charger on ebay. It doesn't work at all.

I got busy with work and didn't get around to emailing support back after all these issues, but with the results I've had so far I wonder why I would even bother. Is it just me or are these things absolute garbage? I have no idea where the problem is, is it the chargers themselves or the receiver pad? What do you have to do to charge your phone wirelessly?? Right now I have a pretty box and the best car mounting option I've found (minus charging) and it cost me $100.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
Are you 100% sure it's your OwlPad? It sounds like you have multiple chargers giving you the same problems. Have you tried a different receiver yet? I would almost say that might be your issue. Or poor contact with the charging contacts.

I only had one issue with my OwlPad and that was due to it overheating while I was running a ton of applications and trying to charge it at the same time. I haven't had the problem since then and it's been working fine. I have noticed that when you're in "Driving Mode" the normal charging LED doesn't come on, but rather it becomes a standard notification LED again, but it's still charging every time I've checked it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] qoncept:
Nope. That's just it, I have no idea what the problem is. I think it's pretty long odds that 3 owlpads would be bad so it probably is the receiver. I emailed moon last night and he told me to take the receiver out of my phone and put it on the chargers. Results are the same as in the phone - nothing happens on the desktops and in the car the light turns red for about 5 seconds and then green.

So he's at least aware of it, hopefully he can tell me what I should try next.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
Yea, that tells me that the Qi charging pad isn't picking up the coil as being compatible (or whatever the science is behind it). I am using one of the ones that has the black foil on it, the super thin types. I just removed both sides of the foil and stuck the coil directly to the lid of my phone with that little bit of fabric on it. Works great, now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] qoncept:
Just another update -

I emailed Moon. He had me test some things that basically confirmed my coil was bad. And then told me "it should be good, try it now." I gave up on dealing with him and ordered another coil on Amazon. So now:

- The car charger works great

- Both the original and replacement desktop chargers he sent do not work

- 2 different chargers I bought on ebay both work(ed)

- BUT.. now, on both of the desktop chargers, I get constant wireless charging notifications popping up. Doesn't happen in the car and it didn't happen on the desktop till recently. I'm so incredibly frustrated but I have $200 invested in it now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elricfate:
So I've been mucking around a lot more with the wireless charger in my car and I've noticed that it makes the phone extremely hot compared to the (non-Owl) desktop charger I have in the garage near my workbench.

I'm worried that it might be damaging the battery since it's so hot through the TPU case that I can't put it in my shirt pocket with the back facing my body or I'll end up with a slight burn.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eturk01:
Do we have mA output pics from an app like Battery Monitor Widget?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

I use this for all testing compared to stock charger, in car or from wall, we ought to be getting 1A output. Many chinese/korean etc. products claim 1A output on their boxes but only output 0.5a. LG is the standard we can compare for wireless Qi potential.

Long thread, so I may have missed it. Would be great to see screen shots pinned to main post.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Thoomas:
I just receive the N5 "specific" one and it doesn't charge the phone enough. It maintains charge when screen off and no gps nor BT and the battery is draining when using GPS apps.

I keep in touch with Moon SOO CHOI to understand the trouble.

:crying:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Thoomas:
My experience...

I first bought a specific car OwlPad for my Nexus 5.

First use, I noticed that it only maintained the charge with BT activated and the battery drained while using Waze.

I sent an email to Moon Soo Choi and he sent me a new car plug.

After that, no more problem with the craddle.

So I decided to buy a new one for our second car and one for my bike.

Both are adjustable ones, for all phones.

First use of the car one. After 4'30", it started blinking red and stopped charging the phone. If unplugged and plugged again, it worked for... 4'30".

I asked to Moon about this problem and he answered me that a few ones didn't have the temperature sensor chip in the circuit board.

He sent me a module, I received and changed it and it works like the first one :)

The bike one has no problem, I tested it ine the car and I will mount it in a few days.

My feed back is that the whole system is good and I do not regret the three units I bought :D

And Moon is very attentive to his customers ! :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] narcopolypse:
Correct.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] redthunda69:
Count me in.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] youareme7:
I'm with you totally on trying to rig up a coil onto a ram Xgrip; those things are amazing. Hopefully the coil would be small enough and thin enough not to affect gripping the phone. Do you use an xgrip now with your N4? Do the buttons get in the way at all? I have one for my bike but it's put away for winter but I'd definitely think about getting one if it worked well with the N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] benburch9:
In as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] antimatter3009:
I'm definitely in for one if they work well. Can't wait. Car dock with qi just seems like the most obvious and useful implementation of the tech.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
There are two positions you can place the N4 into the XGrip without the posts interfering with the buttons; with the top posts located at the top of the phone, or the bottom posts at the bottom. I use the latter.

And the coil does not need to be that thin. Due to the length of the posts, you can easily mount a 1/4" thick coil assembly (as pictured below) to the face of the XGrip and still have it grip the phone perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rvincent76:
In the owlpad video, it looks like they are using a proprietary plug instead of USB. You might double check that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] narcopolypse:
They are not using a "proprietary" plug. They are using a standard 12 Volt coaxial plug. In case you hadn't noticed, Qi chargers don't run on 5 Volt power supplies. Most of them run on 19 Volt systems. The Owl uses 12 Volt to make vehicle integration easier.
