I love aluminum, I'll definitely be interested in reading your review!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] reaperzero:
looking forward to your review. i am considering this as its cheaper then getting the charging orb to my country inclusive of tax
[Nexus 4 Accessories] suicidalintentions:
nice

Looks a lot cleaner and more attractive then the orb. The tilt of the orb has more worried about it sliding off but im not sure what its made of i just dont know why they made a charger thats tilted. But nice Post bro
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DizzC:
Looking forward to your review. Seems like a pretty nice charger.

<-------------- waiting also for a review... i like aluminum finish
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vodka_redbull:
+1 waiting for a review.

Only observation is that eBay seller has had no feedback for 12 months or over? They also say they have stock in UK according to description so let's see how long it takes to be delivered.

Good luck
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Yh I noticed that as well, but I guess all sellers have to start with zero feedback right?

Anyway I sent him an email and it appears that the first few chargers (i.e. mine) are being sent from China but inventory will be made available in the UK in a few days.

P.S You can also buy the charger from here. Appears to be a Chinese marketplace for foreigners (like fasttech, dealextreme, etc). However the price is the same.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Alicklee:
Man if your going to spend $60 on the charger you might as well get the orb IMHO

Sent from my blazing fast nexus 4 o yeah baby this phone is awesome
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kaze105:
I like this one more (only visually, who knows about how well it works), but too bad its not slanted like the Orb.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Not everyone wants or can get the Orb.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Quite the opposite for me, I prefer it to be flat, won't have to worry about the slippage issue some people are complaining about.

Also yh, this already wins in the looks department but hopefully my review will show that it functions just as well :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phatning:
I like the design. But being almost identical to the orb's pricing makes it hard for US-based buyers to justify the purchase.

I'll hold off from buying the orb for now and wait for your review.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Avarell_Dalton:
The ebay seller is a lying sob. He claims he's a EBAY TOP RATED SELLER.

To become such a seller you need to, and I quote "Have at least 100 transactions and $1,000 in sales with US buyers over the most recent 12-month period." and "Have an eBay account that's been active for at least 90 days"

See all requirements here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/top-rated.html
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Wow, calling him a "sob" seems a bit harsh. He has a small image at the very bottom of the listing saying "eBay Top Rated Seller", that could have easily come as part of the template for the listing. Anyone can see his seller rating so it would be very hard to mislead anyone.

I look forward to receiving the product doing a review so that I can prove you wrong.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
it's not part of a template, it's something he intentionally added to his listing. You should be cautious with ebay sellers from china with low feedback like this and claiming that he is a top rated seller just shows the seller might be dishonest about other things in his listing. Not saying you wont get what you ordered but who knows what the quality will be like until you can review it. Ebay can be pretty sketchy esp. sellers from china imo, i wish they would add a review feature like amazon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kennynguyen20:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Hey, just to let everyone know....the eBay seller has received new stock and is resuming orders again :)

It might be a bit more pricey than ahappydeal.com, but until someone reports a successful order from them, I can't really vouch for their reliability. The eBay seller on the other hand is great and I cannot recomend him enough!

Really sorry to hear about ahappydeal.com's poor service. I guess if people want to buy this charger, they should stick to eBay. It's about £10 more but I really cannot recommend this charger enough. It really is the next best thing after the LG charger (and in my belief, even better).

[Nexus 4 Accessories] blackbearblanc:
Metrans wireless charger arrived

Thought the info brochure has it named as Metron.

It works fine.

Bad cable end, doesnt fit a multiple socket - so has to use the wall socket for now. (Cause it has a clumsy converter to 240v included).

Tried using the Nexus7 charger for it, but the Metron started lighting red . Guess that means error?

Should have woked caues both chargers have output of 2000ma.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] setzer715:
I just received the IHave MOBO Black charger. I'm impressed with looks, style and size. NOT impressed with functionality. It has a small LED in the front. It's off when not in use, Red while charging and Blue with done charging. So in testing it starts to charge just fine but then it quits charging and turns blue before the phone is fully charged. I'm not talking 97%-100%, I'm talking it quits in the 80's to 90's.

Here's the worse part, when it does quit and the LED turns from Red to Blue, it won't reset when I remove the phone. Even if I remove the phone and place it back on, it will not reset. It just stays blue until I unplug it. This morning I left it blue for 30 minutes and it didn't turn off.

I have an email out to Dx-Box to see what they say. Time to see how good their customer support is. I can't imagine warranty repair will be easy, timely or cheap considering I'm in the US.

Pics and update to the issues to follow.

PS. When it does charge, it charges great and through my Cruzerlite TPU. Just hope they fix the issue with not charging all the way and it not resetting when you remove the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Hmmm, glad I didn't go for the iMobo. If its not working you should easily be able to get a replacement, file a PayPal complaint otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hammer2007:
A friend of mine bought the same charger and does exactly the same not resetting after full charge,with pulling the power sorts it and sometimes not charging fully.

Not charging fully he says can be fixed by turning the phone off then on which somehow makes the charger know the battery percentage better.

Everything points to it being faulty but i got a feeling the not resetting bit maybe how its designed (poorly i reckon) so it can cool down by pulling the power after full charge blue light is on.

Hes not happy like you as the charger looks nice (he didnt want a applesque white charger like all the others) with just a pretty big design fault? which ive never seen in wireless charges before.

Can you update so i can pass on any info to him.Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] qdev76:
Thanks for posting this up. I feel like the design doesn't quite justify the price point. Personally, the glossy plastic just turns me away.

Also, is it just me, or does it sound like the charger vibrates when they put the phone on/take it off in the vid?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mdh007:
I think that was the optimus G that was vibrating. There's a few videos of the WCP-300 on YouTube from MWC and they don't seem to vibrate when the nexus 4 was placed on it.

MWC was a loud environment so I'm not 100% about this. Either way, I ordered one of these instead of the wireless orb and will post a mini review when it arrives :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kostasd87:
Just saw the videos from MWC and I'm now quite certain the wcp-300 is not vibrating.

Anyway, the Metrans charger, (the one this thread is actually about :p ) is a better choice for me... Already tested by the community, greater looks, costs less AND comes with the wall charger. What else to ask for?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mdh007:
The metrans does seem like a great unit.

I'm just looking for something with a smaller footprint to minimize the chance of setting it down incorrectly and then it doesn't charge. I'm planning on buying 2 more of these for my parents as a gift and as easy it is to find the "sweet spot", they would still find a way to eff it up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kostasd87:
Agreed. You've got a point there! Anyways, I expect to get my hands on the Metrans unit in 10 days or so. Then I'll try and visualize the area of effect on a piece of paper, then open a new thread. If someone does the same for every charger out there, we would be able to compare them easily ;)

The great thing about the Metrans is that its so small, it would be hard to miss the sweet spot. Unless you place the phone so its dangling of the edge of the charger, you cant really go wrong...you will naturally find yourself placing it in the middle (where the sweet spot is). I've had the charger for over a month now and have had almost no difficulties with placement.

Thanks for the info. It's good to know (in a weird way) that it's the same issue across all of these this way no one will buy them anymore. Applesque, yes, that is exactly the look I'm NOT looking for. Oh well, guess I'll be getting a white one. Think I might try my luck with the Anker one on Amazon. It falls under amazon rules which are very good when it comes to faulty products and returns.

I haven't received a response from Dx-Box or iHave yet. I emailed them both. I have a feeling I won't either. That is why, as stated in the above response, I submitted a paypal claim.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
I can't comment on the iMobo (which is clearly faulty judging by your and other people's experiences) but the Metrans is amazing, and in my belief, better looking and more functional than the Anker. It might be Apple-esque but I think that look will grow on you :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phatning:
@hammer2007 - Everything you (or your buddy) noted regarding iHave Qi charger is exactly what I experienced. The product is definitely flawed.

@setzer715 - I bought my iHave charger from Dx-Box. I would not recommend that site for anything. It took them a week to send me a confirmation regarding my purchase. It took another week for Dx-Box to mail it out through HK postal service. It finally arrived at my door step over 3 weeks from the day I made my purchase.

I got tired of waiting and decided to purchase the OEM orb. Both chargers ended up arriving on the same day...

Received the Metrans charger yesterday. For my friend in Cyprus: the package does NOT contain an evident pricetag/receipt at all. Mine passed the customs without any problem.

Thing is, the adaptor is too bulky to fit inside a schuko plug and I can't use it until I find a proper one! :screwy:

The seller contacted me for another reason and I pointed out the problem. Anyway, tomorrow I'll be buying one from a local store. Other than that, the seller seems very helpful and I would recommend him and the charger nonetheless.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Hmm, does that happen often? That's not normal if it happens all the time.

Depends on your definition of often :p

Essentially, the charger charges non stop (no red light) up until it reaches around 60%. From that point on, the battery reaches 40°C quicker, so the charger will stop and go about every 10mins. Overall, it will probably slow down the charge (if there was no stopping) by about 30-40mins. That's worth it in my books if it means a healthier battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] setzer715:
To the OP or whomever has the Metrans. Does the charger charge to 100% and keep it at 100% until you remove your phone? What I'm mostly looking for out of this is a overnight charger when I go to sleep. I've tried a couple (you saw my response on the iHave (junk)) and when I wake my phone is always in the low 90 percent range.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dark_ente:
It'll charge to 100,then stop completely, then start charging again at 97 I think.

Today same problem, battery over 40º C, and not red LED. The charger is hot and smells (the schuko adaptador is rubbish). I tested with the 10w iPad charger (2.1Amp), the charger remains more cold, but the Nexus 4 is over 40º.

Glad I could help :) Also don't worry about the heat, that's perfectly normal. All QI chargers warm the device. What's great about the Metrans though is how it cools itself when it reaches 40°C.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xxphonenz:
Hey OP,

Does the charger charge to 100% and keep it at 100% until you remove your phone? really keen to pull the trigger on this but wanted to confirm before doing so.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dark_ente:
No, it'll stop when it reaches 100%, then start again when your battery is 97% I believe

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Yh, essentially what dark_ente said. The charger stops once the device is fully charged but it recharges once the device falls down to ~97-98%. So the battery you get when you remove the phone will vary. You can be sure it will never be below 97% though.

Got it awesome :p

My ORB project.

I have like 6 Palm Pre Touchstones and I came up with an idea that will allow the orb to work in your car.

First open the touchstone and access the four magnets. From the ifixit teardown it really is one magnet with four protrusions. I'm going to dremmel the magnet into four separate parts.

Then I'm going to fasten them to the orb. After that I'm going to take the four discs from the inside of the Pre battery cover and fasten them to the outside of the Nexus in a neat way of course.

Then what you just made yourself is a car charger that will give you a perfect hold just like the Pre had when it was used with its touchstone!!
