cheap, looks nice, good reviews --- just ordered two
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
Does anyone who has bought this have a charging current log for it?

Also, after it finishes charging, and starts to discharge, does it start charging again to keep it topped up while on the charger?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kyp101:
I ordered one on eBay. I think i found is name on dx.com. it The mikasso T-200

I held off on ordering it because I didn't even have my n4 yet and I would also like to know if it stops charging and starts again to keep it topped up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Procyon_82:
I'll order one once it goes <$20

I like it, but it's not like I need it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
I just ordered one. Will the phone still charge if I switch it off?

And what am I meant to use as the power supply, the charger that comes with the N4?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
Yep phone has to be on. Screen off/sleep is fine but if it's completely powered down it won't work. Also if your battery is completely dead it won't work.

For the power adapter, this picture from the auction seems to imply you need a 1.5A
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesoupthief:
I have the Metrans 3 puck charger. It charges my nexus 4 just fine when the phone's powered down fully (ie, turned off). Charges rather faster when switched off than when left on, actually, presumably because there's not power usage in running the device. Similarly no problem charging if the battery's fully depleted.

My WCP-300 charged my Nexus 4 when it was off,and the same for my S4.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

The WCP-300 sold by Verizon came with a 1.8 amp power supply, but in the car I use a 1 amp supply & it seems to work fine. When I check with the current widget app it shows the same input to the S4 whether I use the 1 amp supply in the car, the 1.8 that came with the charger, or the 2.1 amp power supplies that came with the S4 & my Nexus 10.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
Ironically I've never tried. I have the orb and the wcp300. This is just what I've read in other threads.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] alexlost:
I got mine one week ago. Works flawless and better than other. Way over my expectations
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Illugami:
Does it stop when the phone is full?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] uncola:
Mine arrived today and I'm very happy with it. It connects very reliably. when you have it too far off center, there's a special repeat beep to tell you to center it. It takes no time at all to know where you can set it down, seems to be the middle of the phone or slightly lower for a perfect alignment. currentwidget shows it charging at about 590-600mah. I tried it with both the nexus 4 stock ac adapter and also my 4 port ipad charger thing.. that does max 2 amps.. and current widget shows both charging at about 600mah. When I turn the phone fully off and set it on the charger, it starts charging and turning on.. I have cm 10.2 so not sure if that is a factor

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1NV0ZX6766

Bought this $17 guy. Charges with case at about 1% a minute. Uses a micro usb port so you dont need to bring another charger/cable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
Awesome!

I think I will order one of these for the wife. thanks.

EDIT: ordered. Cant believe these are down to $18 with shipping! score.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
My only concern with those was that apparently they will randomly stop charging.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
I think I tracked down the manufacturer specs on this incase anyone is interested: http://okeler.manufacturer.globalso...eless-charger/1070382353/Wireless-Charger.htm
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nightanole:
Nope its not the model that charges to full and then never charges again so your phone is down 25% by morning. This one tops it off every 10min or so with screen off, or constantly trickle charges with screen on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Illugami:
Finally someone answers lol, guess I'll pick this up of my battery doesn't have any more problems
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xstarbuckx:
Incase anyone's interested I asked them why no UK post and they said it's because it takes a long time to arrive in the UK and this has meant they've had negative feedback but they said they will put some up next week with UK shipping so keep an eye out

Here's their uk store

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/EarlyBirdSavingsUK
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesoupthief:
Best hold fire til next week - they're currently GBP18.69 on the UK store, rather than the GBP11 equivalent of the $ price

Reckon I'll get myself another one of these for downstairs - at that price it's rude not to!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xstarbuckx:
Yes they've put a big Mark up on them in the UK shame really

Got them here cheaper

Any update on this charger to those using it? How well does it fair with protective/large cases?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Received mine 2 days ago, works fine with cases. I'll write a full review when I come home today.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:
I ordered mine a week ago, should have it any day now. Will post when it arrives, and I will compare it to my WCP300 & my Nexus orb.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kyp101:
I received it last week. It stop to charge at 99-100% but will not start again if i don't remove my n4 on it. One morning my phone was at 81% but generally after the charge i only lost 2-3% when i wake up the morning.

With a 1.2 amp charger it charge 25%/hrs.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Same problem here, my N4 only charges to 98%.

Any solution? Will this cause any damage in the long run?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wesleylau:
So far so good

I received the charger yesterday, I also have a Speed qi wireless t-200 which I bought in Hong Kong. They both charge my N4 to 100% with no problem.

I connected the charger to the USB2 port of my PC and it seems to charge as well as the Speed t-200 which I have been using for 2 mouths, so far.

I've seen others review those to be poor. The phone will slide off/ or out of place and not charge.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burnski:

im sure its just a misinterpritation, but in that ebay auction for this http://www.ebay.com/itm/27126603204...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=271266032045&_rdc=1

under compatible devices it actually lists the Nexus 5 as a compatible LG device
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nnorton44:
Yeah thats weird. Ive had good luck with mine charges to 100% no problem and does it quick!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
I got mine from the UK store on Thursday. It so far on the two nights I have used it not worked correctly. It charged it to 81 and 69 percent so must be charging then stopping for some reason.

I am using PA ROM if it makes a difference. Is it faulty or is there anything I can do to sort it before getting a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Mine only charges to 98% eveytime on both Nexus' I've used.

I've emailed them and they said it is normal behaviour
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
Mine goes off around 98 % and the discharges. It will not start again until removed and replaced. I am guessing its faulty.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
Solved it myself. It turns out the nexus 4 charger is not powerful enough as the charger needs 1.5 amp input. I have a 5v 2amp charger from my raspberry pie which works a treat and it now charges as it should.

I also removed the annoying buzzer so I can use it at my bedside:good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Where else can I get one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
I got mine here but I am sure eBay has plenty too https://www.modmypi.com/5v-2A-modmypi-raspberry-pi-power-supply
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nikc0069:
Just got mine and on a laptop usb port it only charges to 97% then stops charging and doesn't seem to restart. USB ports are set not to turn off in Windows.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kamp:
Does it mean it automatically start charging when the bettery goes below certain level without removing and replacing the phone?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Steve - O:
Mine does. When it gets down to about 94% it starts charging it again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
Mine still lets it discharge maybe 1 in 3 charges. Its rubbish so I have gone back to a cable to charge it. I would buy another but not wasting money on another if its gonna do the same thing.

I remember my palm pre worked perfect every time on the wireless charger so it can be done.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kamp:
I had a similar experiene with Metrans MWT03 when used with cheap 2A USB charger from ebay, but it has been working fine once I connect to the Nexus 7 USB charger.

I have attached the screenshot of the battery usage. The sharp straight line is when charged with the Nexus 7 USB charger, and the jagged line is when charged with ebay charger.

How's your battery usage chart look while you are charging?

I have been looking for another wireless charger. I was thinking about getting another Metrans, but as the top is smooth, the phone sometimes slips. I might bit the bullet and get this one though (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400583344550)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
Not looked at the charging graph as yet but will later. Mine works better with my good quality 2a charger than my nexus 4 one though. I think they are just poor quality. They should have made the nexus thinner and lighter and left it out as its useless.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SagiLo:
It is 23$ now .. not 18$
[Nexus 4 Accessories] biscuitownz:
What did you do to drop the battery that much in such a short time after you charged it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kamp:
I can't remember exactly what I was doing, but it was probably bluetooth music streaming, using GPS, and browsing on 3G at the same time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] biotech326:
Does the price changes?

Hey guys,

I have a charged credit card with 20 dollars approx

which I wish to buy this charger from.

Now it costs about 23$

You guys think the price will go down to 20 or even less?

thanks!

[Nexus 4 Accessories] CyanideDN:
Seems a couple of other people are having trouble with this charger maintaining a charge once the battery is full. I'm using the HP Touchpad charger (2amp) with this charger, but it only charges my N4 close to 100%, but won't continue to trickle charge / recharge until the phone is taken off then replace on the charger.

Anyone else having similar issue? Any fix?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nikc0069:
Yea same here - tried it on an ipad charger and wake up to about 97% charge. Picking it up and dropping it back on continues charging. Will occasionally charge to 100%. Using Franco 188 kernel - I will try stock on it at some point soon (preparing for KitKat anyway) to see if it helps but if anyone has tried stock already do they have this problem?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] olyloh6696:
I'm on stock, mine only charges to 98%.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] EpiphanyMachine:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] prulleman:
Got mine last Friday... my N7 charges till 100% then says charged, and the qi led stays blue. My N4 also charges till 100% and then the qi device led goes green and after that, the charger does not pick up anything until a complete power of. Not the N4 or the N7....this happens with multiple adapters 1A-2A and only with the N4 (tried cm 10.2 and aokp, not stock yet...

Does anyone recognize this? Is this Rom or qi device related?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] waj1234:
I am back on stock for the update and the charger does the same regardless of which ROM or charger. It sometimes starts charging again at 97% but mainly it just runs down. I am back using the cable as it works as it should.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] prulleman:
Gonna try a 4.2 rom to check if the sensor bug in 4.3 is related to this issue... if problem persists I will try to contact the eBay seller

/edit, no difference....

This charging orb just arrived today. Pardon the messy chair:D

mine works fine, just one thing, from 100% till 80% fast battery drain, but from 80% normal drain, like charged with wall charger. Does anyone has same? I'm on PA RC-2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tobby_d:
I can confirm the problem with the N4 and not continuing charging when the level reached 100%.

The charging is relatively fast, Elixier 2 confirms me a charging rate at about 600-650mAh (one should add the power consumption of the device of about 150-200mAh, resulting in 750-850mAh).

Temperature is not too high: ~30-31°C.

When 100% are reached, the led turns from blue (=charging) to green (=idle) until I pull up the device and replace it (directly charges again).

I tested with the the following adaptors:

stock Nexus 4 adapter from LG, 1,2Ah: too low regarding to the manual (1,5Ah), but works fine apart from the problem above

Nexus 7 (2012) adapter from ASUS, 2Ah

Nexus 10 adapter from Samsung, 2Ah

All of them showed the exactly same behavior including same charging speed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nurunet:
Same problem here. Tried two different chargers. After charging finished and I take away the device for a while and then put it back on the charger after a few hours it does not react until I unplug and replug the charger. Looks too ma as if the problem is in the charger if it "crashes" and has to be rebooted.

Let me know if you make progress.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kyp101:
Do you try to put it back with screen on? It work for me.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] nurunet:
Thank you for your reply. Screen on or off does not seem to make a difference for my device. I'll ask my flat mate to try it with his Nexus tonight.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] prulleman:
Got a partial refund after a big discussion with the seller. Bought a cheap power timer clock(don't know the correct name), which switches every hour at night. Only workable if you use it next to your bed at night
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nurunet:
Was your seller earlybirdsavings? Hm, if they made a fuss that's not reassuring. But I'll check with my flat mates' phones tonight (all Nexus 4!). If neither of the phones reacts to the charger without the charger being unplugged and re-plugged first that would be a rather solid sign for me that the charger is not okay. [If I had to re-boot the phones instead I'd suspect the fault to lie with that device... But I know it's not always that straight forward.]

Your solution sounds clever, but not so much workable for me. If the seller will not accept a return (or if it is not economical) I might plug it into the work computer because that one is shut down at least once every day anyway...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] prulleman:
no, ebay seller "muchbuy-outlet". I paid 22+8 shipping and got 17 back, difficult and expensive for me te return the item (from the netherlands), if the charger was more expensive or the shipping back was cheaper I probably would have done that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nurunet:
Well, I tried it with my flat mate's phone. Same result. No charging until I unplug and replug the charging disk. Will try to get an exchange or refund.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CalicoJeb:
Anyone here own one of these?

They are not cheap, sometimes the old saying you get what you pay for holds true, so just wondering if anyone has tried this Qi Charger, probably the best design I have seen in my search for the perfect wireless charger, there is also a review on youtube, but I do not always trust youtube reviews ;)

I ordered a black and red one and it came in the other day. So far, its working as it should. I'm using the 2A charger from my Nexus 7 tablet on it and it's charging my N4 just as fast as a wall charger.

All is good so far :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] g2uzer:
I bought one as well, I'm using the original nexus 4 wall adapter and cable, I noticed today the power adapter got REALLY HOT, I know that is normal for the phone to get some what hot or warm but I wasent aware of the power adapter gets hot , anyone having this problem? Should I use a 2.a adapter instead ?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] g2uzer:
I have noticed that mine drains faster then normal as well , baterry last longer with wall charger .
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thejonesyboy:
A few people have said that it stops charging once the phone is at full charge. This would mean that the phone starts discharging again until it is replaced on the pad.

Can anyone please test this before I buy one? I want to know if it's the same for everyone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] prulleman:
when the phone is full, it will stop and block charging with my unit, phone will start to use battery untill replugged (replace not needed, when < 97).

but the need to replug the charger is a defect, not everbody has that.

As I said before, I "fixed" this with a powerplug timer, flipping the switch every hour
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lamenade:
I can also confirm that this is the case. It is rather annoying and defeats the purpose of charging overnight. I pretty much use this as a desk charger. I can confirm this happens both on my Nexus 4 and Lumia 1020 (though the Lumia seems to charge for 20-30 minutes when the light turns from blue to green after a charge while the Nexus 4 stops completely after reaching 100%).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thejonesyboy:
Hmm, does anyone know if the Nexus Orb does this too? Hopefully it keeps the phone topped up...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] EpiphanyMachine:
This has been great for me, no issues at all. I bought a second one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Outrager:
These (or similar looking ones) are now selling on Amazon for $14.99.

If you have Prime it's a pretty good deal, but reading that some people are having trouble with it not staying charged is making me a little hesitant to get it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] lotherius:
I got one on ebay, it had the exact same box pictured on the first page of the thread, so I know it is the same one.

I honestly feel like I wasted $20.

1) It is very touchy about location. If you don't place your device exactly right, it won't charge.

2) It randomly stops charging.

3) Sometimes it charges to full and stops. Then, it does NOT turn back on after the device drains down. So you wake up already down on battery at the start of the day.

Any one of these issues would be annoying. All three together make it a waste of money.

Has anyone tried taking one of these apart? I don't like the beeping so I would like to see if the speaker is one that can easily be removed. Not sure what the best way to take this apart would be.

Haven't tried this but currently $11.42. Seems similar to a $20 one I bought a while ago. As mentioned above, it obviously isn't as great as the likes of the official Nexus chargers but hey, for $11.42, I'd say it's pretty darn good. There are heaps under $25 these days and they all get the job done really.

I'm going to chime in because i also purchased one of these on ebay.

I know this is the Nexus forum.

I'm currently using the Motorola Droid Turbo and the charger cuts on and off when I have my otterbox commuter case on.

The charger seems to stay on when the otterbox is off.

I've read reviews saying the otterbox is not an issue but for me it is.

For the people with the issue of the charger cutting on and off, Is it caused from a case?
