[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Don't know if this means anything but there are no wireless charging battery covers for sale on verizon's website for the LG G3. They do have them for the galaxy note and GS4...
[Verizon LG G3] sprintrjm:
re

Verizon had posted on their site that the Verizon lg g3 did not have a removable battery.. But have later since changed their site to include the correct information..

If verizon is correct then they would be the only one in the usa to offer the phone with the built in qi wireless charging backplate..

i would not get my hopes up.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Verizon was the only one in the US to give the G2 wireless charging so it's not unprecedented.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
This is interesting. I looked through the Verizon G3 manual and it didn't mention wireless charging at all in the section where it talks about charging. However, at the end in the Safety section it mentioned:

"Instructions for Wireless Charger

Be sure to use a wireless charger that is genuine or compatibility-

certified (by WPC Qi standards).

(Wireless charger is sold separately.)"

Here it didn't say a separate battery cover is needed. If the cover is included, however, why didn't VZW market the hell out of it?

Anyway, I'll keep my expectation low and hope for a nice surprise.
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
Also I found on eBay a verizon back plate and it showed both the NFC and wireless charging connectors all others on eBay have been striped of everything. So this could be the real deal.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
I contacted Maddigital who has a verizon review unit in the Verizon G3 Thread. He should be able to confirm whether it has the pins for wireless charging.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
Following up on this - I spoke with a VZW representative and he seemed confident that it will have it based on those security guidelines. Maybe you are right. Maybe it's sold separately and comes with a back plate?
[Verizon LG G3] XylerSmith:
I think the backplate that comes with it has it build in already and we dont have to get anything but the charger
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
At this late stage, why is it so hard to confirm this? People have had their hands on demo units in Verizon stores even. Someone in a Verizon store please place the phone on a wireless charger and let us know if it reacts? Personally, I seriously doubt it has the charging cover stock. It would be a selling point and they would likely have mentioned it during the pre-ordering.
[Verizon LG G3] joeliotta:
Verizon LG G2 was the only one who had wireless charging thus why it had a slightly different design. Perhaps it's the same thing with the G3. It is so hard to confirm because nobody who knows anything about phones has the phone and VZW reps are so darn useless.
[Verizon LG G3] ewk:
I'm going to a Verizon store in about 10 min to see if I can confirm.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

They didn't have a demo unit. But the rep sent a message and he said they told him it does. But without having the phone he can't confirm. :rolleyes:
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
If it does. It would be cool. I don't have any demo units in my vzw store.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Does anybody think Verizon would do this without touting on their website? On top of that, lose all the aftermarket sales that are their biggest margin makers? Really? Nice to dream :)
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
Other carriers are only making selling the quick circle case which a lot of people will avoid because they don't want the case (and aren't smart enough to rip the qi part out). Verizon could make a lot just off of a $50 wireless charging mat.

But in either the Verizon thread or a wireless charging thread, I'm pretty sure someone was given one to take outside and stuff and they said it didn't hae 4 pins on the back cover. Could have been someone BSing though.
[Verizon LG G3] simollie:
Just got the shipping notification email from VZW. It includes an item "4G NFC SIM Card". Doesn't that mean the NFC is on the sim? So if the back cover has 2 connectors, could they be for wireless charging?
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
No. That NFC is for Isis/wallet.

The pics published from people that have received the Verizon version of the phone confirms it does NOT have a wireless charging cover.

Case closed now.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
It has wireless charging but you need to buy the circle case to utilize it.
[Verizon LG G3] Ikyo:
The issue with the case is that no one has it. There are versions out the for the Korean version, but it has different pins than the US device.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
Just got the QC case from Verizon but it is PMA. I knew it when I bought it but I need to cover the G3 and rather not buy a different type case. If they get the Qi within 14 days, I will exchange.
[Verizon LG G3] Ikyo:
What is the model on the PMA case? I would be happy to use that.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
I just came here to LOL
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
PMA is powermat? Does this mean vzw did the same as AT&T?

I thought vzw supported QI.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
deleted.
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
I hope the Verizon model supports both as I've heard the newer receiver chips technically work with both, if not forced to be only one. I also already spent $50 on a qi back and charger.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
The sticker attached shows LGVS985CASE and below that 7430500653. LG Quick Circle Wireless Charging Folio Case. $49.99.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

It is powermat. I thought all the providers were going to support Qi but who knows in the US at this point. Guess it is wait and see which makes it hard for the consumer.

They only had two in black. I was not about to walk out without one.
[Verizon LG G3] Ikyo:
Are you sure it is a charging case? I called Verizon and they say that case is not wireless charging.
[Verizon LG G3] kremer4:
I've got mine and it won't charge on my Nokia wireless chargers. I don't have a PM charger.

I posted pics of the Verizon back cover in another post., here are the pics also.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
It says on the back of the box it was for Powermat. I don't have that, maybe Best Buy has one open I can try. Verizon did not have a Powermat to sell or try.

I cannot leave the G3 naked, I almost dropped it a few times. I rather have what I bought than nothing.
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
cant wait to hear your results, I bought the ATT powermat quick circle case for my sprint unit .......
[Verizon LG G3] Ikyo:
I am going to try and pick up a Powermat case from AT&T today and see how it goes. It will be on a Sprint G3 so wish me luck.
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
the att website says its a web only item ..... so good luck. Mines shipped and will be here tomorrow :cowboy:
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Why can't we get a straight answer on this? I thought the terminals on the back of the Verizon case had something to do with NFC. So is charging with 3rd party cover powermat or Qi or what?
[Verizon LG G3] kremer4:
I'd like to know also
[Verizon LG G3] flaring afro:
You don't have 4 pins. The 2 on there are for NFC. Also, I believe I've read that at least some Nokia wireless chargers will only work with Nokia phones. They do something to it, or have their own non qi/powermat standard or something.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
My two Nokia mats work fine with the G2.
[Verizon LG G3] kremer4:
My chargers have worked fine with my Nexus 4 and 5
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Wow this thread is dumb. I guess all those people who have gotten VZW G3's with only the 2 pin NFC battery cover are wrong! I guess LG's official announcement that US and Korea variants had wireless charging removed due to carrier agreements is wrong too!
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
It is not dumb as much a lack of specificity by Verizon staff and assumptions by customers. The G3 needs an accessory on the device before you can wirelessly charge it. It does have the ability, just not out of box functionally.
[Verizon LG G3] jreed2560:
Love that word "specificity" never heard it used before Inception. Now I hear it all the time!
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
What accessory?

I can second this. Not that it needed to be overnighted from West Chester, PA to northwest NJ, but at least the guarantee is there. It won't let me authorize release though, so I guess I'm going to have to go with the old fashioned "signed note on the door" method.

Nope. It requires a signature.

I'm jealous! How lucky. Hey, does it have Qi charging?

permalinkparent

[–]imdabessmeng 1 point 2 hours ago

As far as I can tell, that's only supported if you get the Quick Circle case. I don't have a wireless charging dock to confirm that with, but I'm sure that's the case

permalinkparent

[–]Patmb97 1 point 2 hours ago

Does the back panel have 2 or 4 pins?

2!

[–]Patmb97 1 point 2 hours ago

Darn. No Qi

[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
I have been using it since my econ teacher would say it frequently twent years ago. They said the word in Inception? Cool.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
The box specifically states it is for wireless charging for PMA. My case does not have those pins in your illustration so is my sale some type of fraud??
[Verizon LG G3] Enddo:
yes, it's completely a fraudulent sale and you should sue LG. that'll show them
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
I was kidding as well.

Buyer beware with these wireless cases.
[Verizon LG G3] Ikyo:
No one that I have spoken to at LG can give me a straight answer on if all of the phones are PMA capable.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
BE CAREFUL!

Here's the scoop. The case I returned which I bought at a Verizon store was just a snap on folio BUT packaged in a Wireless Folio case box that states compatible with Powermat. The rep checked a few others on the shelf in the box showing Wireless charging folio case and again they were only a snap on case. This Verizon store has no Wireless charging folio cases currently in stock, only the snap on case. Mistakes happen with packaging and even the sku was the same as just the snap on folio packaged correctly. Now you may not come across this happening where you buy one but just be sure to check before you purchase.
[Verizon LG G3] solidage:
Got my VZW G3 today, doesn't work with my Qi base :(
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Has anyone found a 3rd party back cover that is wireless and will work? Is it confirmed that The Verizon G3 is powermat compatible or is it Qi? And other than the circle case, is verizon offering an accessory for this?

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

why is this info such a secret???

By the way, there is no way I am putting that ugly, bulky circle case on my phone no matter what it does.
[Verizon LG G3] arcanexvi:
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=151340368484

4 pins. "should" support wireless QI charging. Plus no branding. Win win?

I've ordered one. When I get it I'll report back.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Since Verizon is selling a Powermat circle case for their G3, don't all 3rd party case backs for the V G3 need to be Powermat for this to work?
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
Edit: never mind
[Verizon LG G3] InsaneJester17:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...ging-quick-circle-folio-case-for-lg-g3-black/

How is that powermat? It specifically says QI under "Get Charged, Stay Charged"
[Verizon LG G3] arcanexvi:
The cases can be brand specific. This back plate in theory should be QI as that's the more universally accepted platform. It looks to be LG branded like a replacement part so I'd assume it would follow their history of supporting QI.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Your right but I could have sworn I saw Powermat earlier when I looked at that page. Ok, so if the ebay buy works on a Qi, then that would be great. Eagerly awaiting the results then.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Where did all this talk of Powermat come from? Oh I see, it was ATT model: http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2a8ede/anyone_have_an_att_g3_yet_does_it_have_wireless/
[Verizon LG G3] BayRyder:
Still no confirmed official wireless method in a confirmed thread?
[Verizon LG G3] Poopydi:
I just got my quick circle case in today from Wackydot, $39 shipped. I can confirm wireless charging is working with it on my Verizon G3. It's definitely Qi, not powermat.
[Verizon LG G3] bcoop8:
The Verizon model is capable of wireless charging, you just have to but a wireless charging back or quick circle case to enable wireless charging.
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
The vzw box says powermat but the sticker at the bottom should have the vzw sku also imprinted inside the actual case is the model number i had bothe the qi and pma version in hand
[Verizon LG G3] BayRyder:
Which one though? I remember reading people buying back covers from ebay & still not working with the Qi bases.
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
Hope this helped
[Verizon LG G3] bcoop8:
Awesome! But doesn't the qi vs powermat depend on the type of back you have? I thought certain backs enabled qi while other backs enabled powermat. It just depends on which you want to get. Is this correct? I could be completely wrong tho.

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------

I haven't heard that... I believe AT&T disabled qi because they support powermat. Not sure about verizon though. I thought as long as there are no carrier restrictions then weather it was qi or powermat depended on the back you buy. I thought some backs supported qi whole others supported powermat. I could be wrong about that though
[Verizon LG G3] BayRyder:
Oh ya, forgot I was reading this before the verizon g3 got released so they were mostly likely trying on t-mo or att phones.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
So is this cover Qi or Powermat? The seller has not responded.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151340368484

I ordered one anyway to take a chance it might work with my Qi mats.
[Verizon LG G3] arcanexvi:
I ordered one yesterday. I noted in a other similar thread in accessories that I'll let everyone know if it works or not. I'll be testing on the D851 - T-Mobile
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
The model #'s he lists are Tmobile Sprint and verizon and a UK one, so hopefully it will work.
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
So all I have seen so far is the box in a Verizon store for wireless charging for Power mat and the case inside was just a snap on.

Unless I missed it, I have yet to read anyone buying a Qi case from a Verizon store.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I don't know if they are in stores, but on the VZW Web site you can find a Qi Quick Circle folio case offered for the G3, "Compatible with Qi-compliant..."
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
you missed it i bought this http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...ging-quick-circle-folio-case-for-lg-g3-black/ in a vzw store :good:
[Verizon LG G3] robertc88:
From what I've read in this thread, you are the only one in a Verizon store so we now have confirmation at least in your neck of the woods for Qi. My local ones just have a snap on case.
[Verizon LG G3] killerskincanoe:
I can confirm it comes with. Silky white

Scribed henceforth from thy G pad.
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Question: Will wireless charging work with the quick circle case open? For example I want to be able to use Navigation while the phone is sitting in a wireless charging cradle in my car so if the front cover is folded around back will that cause any problems?
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
Lemme try
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
Yes it works
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Awesome thanks
[Verizon LG G3] fatboypup:
No problem
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Has anyone received the ebay Verizon 4 pin Qi charging back yet to test out?
[Verizon LG G3] viskey:
Check the accessories section. Someone confirmed it working.
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
I'll have one by Friday. Hope it works as advertised. It costs me $32, so that's very expensive for a piece of plastic that doesn't do anything other than keep my battery in place...
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
It cost me $40 and today the same seller has Price:US $22.94. Someone is going to get a very unfavorable ebay review if I don't see a credit on this. I haven't received any ship notice yet, so I would think a price adjustment is in order.
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
The price is now $22.94? That's just wrong. I thought I was getting a steal at $32.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
The price seems to change each shipment.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
At the current price I couldn't resist ordering one. Since it claims to be for US models, and the photo clearly shows 4 pins, worth a shot :)
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
My order got delayed for a week and the seller keeps changing the price for new orders. I don't like doing business this way but I guess I have no choice if I want this particular cover. :(

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Anyone know how this can be a Verizon back in this listing that has the 4 terminal leads? I don't recall seeing these on my stock Verizon branded back. Am I missing something? What exactly is this then?

[Verizon LG G3] docfong:
Something stupid is going on here with the supply and demand of the backs that actually charge the G3

I got this LG logo one off ebay for $40 last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/151340368484

Now its relisted here for $27.94 www.ebay.com/itm/151362145727

Also, the same seller has it for $134.99 with the carrier logo on it here http://www.ebay.com/itm/151360455517

AND has sold 33 of them for that price!!!! :eek:

Buy the one that is $27.94, works perfect for Qi charging on the VZ G3!

Using it with a Nokia "fatboy" charger with no issues
[Verizon LG G3] easyfame:
Check the sold of the $134.99 again. 33 people bought it, but for much less.
[Verizon LG G3] docfong:
Good to hear, I was starting to wonder if people were crazy. Anyway, I'm glad we found a solution!

Still cant figure out why this accessory was not sold by any of the carriers. Doesn't make much sense
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
Holy crap, you're right. I paid $32 for mine just two days ago, now it's $135. Geez!
[Verizon LG G3] preilly44:
I ordered from them last Wednesday then emailed them about two hours later asking if they could ship a black cover instead of white. They responded the next day saying it had already been shipped so they couldn't. They even sent a tracking number (which didn't show up on USPS's site). Then yesterday I got an email from them saying that they just put my order on hold because they do have it in black now and they wanted to know what color I wanted. I responded back saying I thought it was already shipped....then I tracked it again and it still isn't in USPS's site.

Something shady is going on....
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
So far the only email I've got was the one saying they'd contact me in 24-48 hours with a tracking number. I'm hoping they still send me the correct cover and I'm hoping that it works. Now I'm skeptical...
[Verizon LG G3] mrhumble1:
I'd like to meet the guy/gal who made the command decision to NOT ship this phone with Qi compatibility. I say we start a petition and demand Verizon present this person to us so we can all glare at them and fart in their general direction.
[Verizon LG G3] gongmonk:
I have nokia wireless charger.but it don't seem to charge.
[Verizon LG G3] sic0048:
That would be a Verizon exec for sure. By not including the charging built in, they saved a few cents per units and they get to charge people for a wireless charging cover. It's a double win for them.....
[Verizon LG G3] BlueHarford:
i got an email saying it was shipped 2 days later an email that the one with the verizon logo one was out of stock, (which i kinda knew would happen since it doesnt exist). they swear it has 4 pins and will work with the verizon variant. said it shipped today, same USPS tracking number as before but doesnt show a package picked up yet.. funny this is coming from CA, but my QI LG charging dock ($48) from Korea is being delivered tomorrow... bought the same day lol
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
Anyone see a black QI charging door/cover yet?
[Verizon LG G3] Namtaru:
Was wondering the same thing. I'll manage with the usb port for charging until there is a cheap black door available.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
and mine was $40 and shipping got messed up for almost a week before it finally went out. To me this seller is very shaky. Nevertheless, hopefully it will work. I think it should finally come Friday.

EDIT: Came today and it is the WRONG part. Not what was on the web site. What I goit was a 2 pin useless replacement door. Really mad.....
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
Dang it. I got the email saying that the Verizon Logo was out of stock today. I told them go ahead and send me the LG one. Now you're telling me this I'm thinking it's going to be the same for me as well. I'm looking at their reviews and they've had quite a few bad ones. I really hate FleaBay. Maybe I won't get screwed...
[Verizon LG G3] ice9mike:
I bought a quick circle case and took out the NFC/Qi flex circuit and put it in my original cover. The original cover had only NFC so that went into the quick circle case. It's not hard to do if you are very careful and patient with lifting the flex circuits out of the covers. The key is to go slow so you don't tear the flex circuits. Also use a plastic spatula tool to help lift the corners.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I find it absolutely astonishing that we have to resort to this sort of thing. Shame on LG and really on all of the US carriers. :mad:
[Verizon LG G3] Namtaru:
Seriously, the fact that Verizon went out of their way to make the G2 the only one that came with Qi charging, then to release the G3 with full Qi capability but to leave out the pins to make it work out of the box. It's quite ridiculous if you ask me.
[Verizon LG G3] ice9mike:
I agree with you guys 100%. I did not want to resort to this type of hack, but I'm also impatient. I am hoping that 3rd party developers will create an inexpensive NFC/Qi flex circuit to put in the included back cover. This is a perfect opportunity for this type of product and I would rather give me money to someone other than Verizon for accessories they should be providing with the phone
[Verizon LG G3] viskey:
The quick circle case to me may be a safer route too. At least you know that sticker is OEM and not some 3rd party one that may screw something else up or start on fire, etc....
[Verizon LG G3] BlueHarford:
Mines coming in a few hours.. It's the LG logo white back promised to do qi and NFC for my variant... Will let you all know in a few hours.. Same seller as we're all talking about
