Anyone received theirs yet? How is it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aackthpt:
Someone mentioned in the Qi thread in the ATT Galaxy S3 section that he had found a charger for ~$47 at his Wal-Mart. I got the impression it was the LG one, but not sure since that price looks higher than I've seen mentioned for it. However I can't find it on their website.

So... the only source in the US that might be in stock is ATT and Verizon for the Nokia charger. The V also has the Fatboy charge pillow on their site. When I've checked the ATT site, they only showed black--but their store might have more I guess.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Alicklee:
This charger is great wroth every penny been using it for a while now and it charges full and keeps the phone at 100% when left over night.

The stock bumper can stay on the phone it holds it from sliding the phone around.

Though the Blue light is bright so I cover it with black duct tape.

Sent from galaxy s2x close by using the force of jedi knight 3 while charging my nexus 4 on its wireless charger I got from fasttech, $35 :)

I bought the white unit in this thread (http://www.fasttech.com/product/1142301). It worked great for the first few charges. However, it seems like it no longer works. When I plug the AC adapter in to the charger, a strange ticking noise is emitted from it. Like the charger is being powered on and off really fast. It also no longer charges my N4.

I have contact Fasttech to get a replacement sent out. They responded already and have been helpful so far.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] K0WAWA:
same here, just received my white euro plug yesterday. charge is working, no need to put it like mentioned in the 1st post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36639697), but phone must be aligned to the top of the charger. phone got a little bit hot like when gaming, but nothing worrying.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ins0:
I've had my charger for about 2 weeks now and have been loving life. At first I was a little apprehensive to post a positive review but it turns out that any issues I had with the phone needing to be placed on a certain spot or at a certain angle were resolved by taking off the skin that was on the phone.

Without the skin the phone charges at all angles and at any spot on the charger, it also shows notification of charging within 2 seconds of placing it on the charger. With the skin on it charges about 75% of the time when first placing the phone on the charger...sometimes I have to move it around to activate the charging.

All in all 9/10 because of that damn blinking light....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] leader288:
I got the Metrans MWT01, it DOES charge the nexus 4, but the only problem I'm having with it is it doesn't charge fully when left overnight. tried twice already and all I got was about 74% charge from it. I would wake up and find the charger has turned itself off. Removing and replacing the phone seems to reset the charger. NOT sure if it's the kernel's fault (i'm using faux's kernel) will try flashing back to stock tonight to see...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wonderpotato:
My charger came in the mail yesterday, it took them a week to ship and another month to get here. At first I was having the problem where the phone wouldn't charge again after lifting it off from the charger. But after a couple plugging and unplugging the charger, I was able to charge to 100% overnight and the problem of not charging went away.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] squirrelproductions:
It took over 30 days to receive in PA? Which shipping option did you select?

I'm thinking of ordering one and using the USPS shipping option which shows estimate of 5-8 business days. Anyone (in US) order one recently? What was total delivery time?

Is there anyone who bought this model: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...owered-qi-inductive-wireless-charger-for-car- ? Does it work fine / is it difficult to place the N4 to start charging?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] squirrelproductions:
I've had this charger from fasttech ( goo.gl/bfNjY ) for a little over three weeks now. Fortunately, it has worked out well. The phone shows 100% when I take it off the morning having placed the phone on the charger before sleep. As others have mentioned, there is a sweet spot for the charger; I usually align the earpiece end of my N4 with the plug-side-edge of the charger, and alignment is not a hassle..

[Nexus 4 Accessories] zhuozhi211:
Also having this issue, but only started recently. Not sure if it has to do with my ROM and Kernel combi.

Basically the charger will be stuck 1) when and after the phone is fully charged, 2) phone is charged by different charger before
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ludalex07:
Awesome! Can you make a quick video?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RASTAVIPER:
Sorry no video, but some photos are here.

The charger seems to have very good build quality and the plastic is shiny and like more luxury then what you would expect from a total Chinese product.

Charging is activating when you put correctly the phone on the pad and after a beep is being heared. I noticed that it was showing around 450mA at Battery Monitor Widget.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
Update: Thoughts after four months.

So I purchased the following two chargers below and must say that although I like the look of the smaller white charger more, the large black charger functions better. I have the black charger plugged in at work 24/7 and every time I put down my Nexus4 it starts charging(not sure if it keeps it above 97% charge since I'm constantly using it.

However, with the white charger at home, at least 5-7 times a week I have to leave it unplugged for a few seconds so that it recognizes my phone again(roughly daily). Sometimes when I am texting and I keep placing my phone down to charge, the frequent connections usually cause it to stop as well.

With all that said, I recommend the larger chargers although it is possible my smaller charger could be defective. :)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] lininjim:
I have the fasttech QI charger and it's not very good, my phone gets picked up fairly quickly on it (phone beeps and led on charger goes blue) but in the morning my phone is never charged above 95%. I also bought a charging back cover for my wifes SGS3 for it, it didn't work. Sent that back to them, received another and that doesn't work either.

so not really a good item for me at least :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Please read the threads about the Nokia chargers. A lot of people reported back saying that they don't charge correctly for the Nexus 4's or they need to cycle a charge before it begins to cycle. Whatever the reason, I would recommend to stay away from the Nokia ones and keep with the LG, Energizer, Maxell, Zens and Panasonic that all reported back working for our phones and with tpu cases on.

Mine just came in today, took about 8 days to get to NC from Hong Kong. So far it's working just fine, tho I have to place it with the bottom of the phone facing the power cable on the charger. Current Widget is showing between 500-600mA with my Rearth Ringke SLIM case on the phone, temperature of 35C.

Update: Ended up settling around 650mA charging, temp peaked at 40C. It charged to ~98% and then paused until it dropped to ~96% before charging again.

Guessing you all saw the other qi charging pads on the Fasttech website - I'd post you the links but I don't have link posting privileges yet (nuisance)

This one is titled Qi Inductive Wireless Charger (Large)

A few pence cheaper too - shame it comes with a euro plug (though they do us style too) but not UK/Eire

Charger seems to work well the phone has to be a little off center but other than that it works well. I made a dock it's a little ghetto but it should look better when I paint it white tomorrow to match my night stand and charge. I made it to work in landscape for bedside clock. here are some pics (take it easy on me lol).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kdog808:
sweet thanks for the pics. I hope to get mines on monday
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Armpowered:
I've had mine for a few days (took about 8 days to deliver to UK which I thought was good) but I'm not sure that it's working properly.

It does charge the Nexus 4 but doesn't seem to reliably do the "keeping it topped up" bit which the Maxell charger I have does do.

Can I check how yours behaves TheMatts?

1 Plug in power (get exciting sparks from socket) green LED comes on and stays on whatever else is happening.

2 Place phone on charger, red LED flashes and device beeps, blue light comes on flashing.

3 When charged, blue LED becomes solid, now the problems, sometimes the blue LED goes out, more often then not the charger doesn't then restart the charging process. Even removing the phone, running down battery than placing back on charger results in nothing, I need to remove charger power and reconnect (which kind of makes the whole wireless idea pointless).

It's as if the charger's control system/software has crashed, does anyone else have the same issue or is yours reliable (if so then I'll look at an RMA)?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] athani:
Ordered mine on 6th. Shipped 8th. Still not received.

To everyone who has received his, how many days after shipping did you receive the charger?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheMattS:
So far it's always restarted charging after a while, doesn't seem to be a specific threshold but somewhere between 94-97%. I've also not had any need to reconnect the charger to the power cable, tho sometimes finding the sweet spot to start charging is a bit of a challenge.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] b1unt3d:
Did you guys both order the white one? I wonder what the difference between the white one and the black one is.

Do you think it will still work if the phone is in a TPU case or a Nillkin flip case?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] quarksurfer:
That stinks, I ordered one that should arrive today. I'll let you know if I have the same issue. If we both do, the charger just may not work with the n4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quarksurfer:
Well I just tried mine. Here's how it worked:

1) plug in charger it turns green.

2) place n4 on charger, blue LED starts flashing seems good.

3) charged to 92% and stopped :( when I replace phone it sometimes flashes red, or blinks blue and begins to charge but quits in less than a minute.

I guess I would say it doesn't work. I'm going to sell on craigslist--maybe it will work for the note 2 (it says it does on the box). Or I could return it.

It's frustrating, this is my second charger, I sold my LG wc700 because it was so noisy and bright and I'm a light sleeper. Now I regret selling it.

I'm noticing the same thing in general.

1. One of the two LEDS is immediately and steadily green when plugged in.

2. Have yet to see a red LED. When the phone is placed it either is steadily blue and not charging, or, it beeps, flashes blue, and charges.

3. Exactly the same behaviour here.

The manual mentions next to nothing about its operation, will give it a couple of days.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] therippa:
#3 is happening to me too...incredibly annoying, I'm going to look into returning it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quarksurfer:
Charger does not work for me. Recap:

Day 1: charges to 92%, but will not charge higher

Day 2: didn't charge overnight, will not reliably charge.

Basically what happens is I place the phone on the charger, then slide it around very, very slowly. Eventually it may start charging, but it's placement is so precise any movement (>2mm) and it stops. Now the big problem starts--it will not start re-charging without unplugging/replugging. What's crazier is that if I place the phone too quickly it will not charge, I have to wait about 90seconds, then place the phone after the unplug/replug event. That makes the charger unusable to me. Even if it were charging, I couldn't pick it up for a second to check voicemail without doing all the unplug/replug, wait, place and slowly move around and hope that you don't bump it right as it starts charging.

I'm going to try to return it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] athani:
To everyone complaining about the charger not charging 100%, the manual does state that it will not charge fully.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quarksurfer:
If the manual stated it only charged to 85% that wouldn't make it acceptable or practical in practice. I don't understand your point. Mine charges only to the low 90's percentile, not very useful. That's a reasonable thing to complain about. I have another wireless charger that hits 100% every time (lg wc700), no complaint there, works as expected.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] athani:
My only point is that if the charger only charges to 95 or 97%, it may not be defective/the seller may not accept it as defective for only that reason. Whether it is acceptable to you is entirely up to you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quarksurfer:
I agree with you there. 97% would be fine, 95% would be irksome though, haha, right on the line for me between being charged.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] c_86:
Mine as well only charges to 97% which is kinda annoying. But not to troublesome.

My phone charged to 100% (from about 80%) and seemed to charge at the standard rate. However, it is very sensitive to where the phone is positioned on the charger. I'm going to keep it, but I'd hoped for something better.

For those not getting your phone charged to 100%, do you have daydream on? I don't.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] asharptm:
Got my charger in the mail yesterday. Seems to work pretty well though it could be better. With my Diztronic case on, the charging pad seems to be very particular about the exact positioning of the phone before it'll detect and start to charge. With no case, it seems to be more lenient on positioning. Only complaint is the green LED to indicate power is always on which can be annoying if it's always plugged in. Other than that, it's not too bad and charges my phone fully with no problems.

Looks like you cant tell will it work before you order one and test it for yourself. Wonder if the N4 is even Qi sertified, as there seems to be no logo anywhere.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] linelock:
I got mine today. 3 weeks for delivery, on the slow side but within their shipping estimate so no real complaints there.

I ordered 2 and they both seem to work properly. It charged my phone from %62 to %100 in about 1hr 20min and it got up to 38C according to Battery Monitor Widget. On the hot side but seems OK. The highest charge rate was 664mA.

The charger does not seem as picky about phone placement as others have suggested here. The top of the phone needs to be near the edge of the charging pad whether top or bottom. I can pretty much just put the phone on the pad with the top of the phone near the edge of the pad and it will beep and start charging. My naked phone slid around pretty easily on the pad so I applied some old BSE iphone skins I had to the chargers to keep my phone from slidding off. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and would recomend it from my experience.

Update: after using it for a few days both of mine need to be unplugged to reset the charger after it completes a full charge. Making it not a good over night charger.
