Really? It doesnt work without the magnet at all?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Wrong. It works without the magnet. However, finding the sweet spot without the magnet will be harder. The magnet automatically aligns your phone to the center of the charging pad.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
I was having issues just dropping it on at night so I built a little frame for the phone in cardboard. Then cut out two more pieces of the cardboard and taped them together to be thick. Now I reach over and drop the phone and it's on the right spot every time. Looks ghetto and if I was keeping my phone I would make it nicer out of wood.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Here is my ghetto frame I was talking about. Works really well even though it doesn't look great.
[AT&T LG G3] AllstarE4:
Pretty cool. You should make a clean version out of wood. What case do you have on the phone?
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
I'm actually selling the G3 and going back to the G2. I might do something for the g2 as I am adding wireless charging to it as well.

The case is the Nillkin Armor case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00M62NGXI/
[AT&T LG G3] Nibiru2012:
AliExpress is offering these cases with the PMA setup already installed. Regular price is $30 - one day left on Sale Price @ $25.80 each for Jan. 20 These come from NeWisdom vendor.

I'm thinking about getting one today. Why pay $20 for just the sticker setup when one is able to get it already installed on a new LG G3 case back? Even at $30 is a good price.

What I'm finding frustrating and difficult to locate is the Powermat charging pad in a single device setup in Black.

I can find them at full retail for $39.99, but I would like to find a Black single device PMA charging mat at more reasonable price.

Tons of 2 device pads and even some three device pads.

Lots of white, but white shows dirt.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T LG G3] sean222:
Get this. http://m.factorydirect.ca//Canada-O...wermat_3Pc_Kit_For_Iphone_4_4S_041333014319/0

Works great with my D852. The battery backup even has a micro SD port even though it's for iPhone.

I couldn't find a single mat either. But with the battery back and phone docked, it looks nice.

Don't get the aliexpress case because I THINK there is no magnet which makes it very difficult to align.

Magnet is awesome, however makes a big bulge in your case...up to you if you wanna cut your case or go magnet-less :)
[AT&T LG G3] Nibiru2012:
sean222 - thanks for your input and such. It's appreciated!

I spent about an hour doing a more exhaustive search and found a Powermat Black single device charger on Ebay for $15.99 w/ free shipping.

From what I've read here, I don't believe a magnet is an absolute necessity to get the charging to start-up and work. I think it's just there for people who probably don't have the patience or manual dexterity to get the unit centered on the charging mat.
[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:
Well good luck without the magnet.... I spent forever and never got it to charge without it.

★2SHAYNEZ★
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
The battery door with chip already preinstalled has magnet. And yes, there will still be a slight bulge.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
The magnet helps with locating the "sweet spot". Without the magnet, you'll be hunting for that spot in order for it to charge. With the Qi, there is no magnet because it uses coils that are larger. So as long you're in the vicinity, it will charge unlike the PMA.
[AT&T LG G3] sean222:
Good to know thanks.

I cut a hole in my stock back cover for the magnet like posters above, and it relieved 95% of the pressure, works great now :)

Trust me, you'll want the magnet ;) Middle of night, you check your phone, placing it back perfectly while sleep deprived isn't easy, plus the magnet is just cool the way it grabs the phone :)

Hi all this charger works with qi and pma if you have different devices it can charge the 2 most common standards.

http://www.chargespot.com
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
$150!? Yikes. Better off just buying a Qi and PMA separately. You'll still end up paying 1/3 of that price.
[AT&T LG G3] gastaman:
The $150 appears to be for a demo kit intended for potential resellers of the product. I don't believe you actually buy the product direct from them.

Edit: NM, the product actually doesn't even appear to be meant to be sold to end users. It appears to be a product intended for purchase in bulk for installation into venues and furniture. The $150 is just a small demo unit that can be purchased to sample the product.

PMA sticker chip for AT&T G3

Great job and Please count me in, I need one desperately since I already ordered the Powermat from Duracel. Thanks. :laugh:
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
So I heard back and there's no major updates. They're still researching.
[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
+1 for the sticker. Would love to try out wireless charging for the first time. Any good wireless mats that are sub-$30?

There is no PMA chips at the moment and the manufacturer is working on it. They will let me know first thing once they have any information or results. I'm the only source actively trying to get the PMA sticker chips to be available for LG G3 PMA owners.
[AT&T LG G3] WickR1:
Voted.

Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into this. I really appreciate it.
[AT&T LG G3] sailindawg:
+1 what you are doing is pretty huge! I'm quite disappointed that AT&T wishes to force a standard, but not support the effort proper. Makes me rethink this phone. Much support to you for your efforts!
[AT&T LG G3] idelgado782:
I voted as well! I too am hoping on the manufacturer being able to release the chip. I'm holding out on buying folio cover but I think about it every day.
[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
Voted - thanks for all your efforts
[AT&T LG G3] Buddy1065:
With my first G3 for me the Circle case was just clumsy to handle. When the phone dropped about 3.5 feet to a tiled floor the screen cracked on the corner, enough for me to sell both the case and the phone on Craig's list. I wouldn't dare to by another Circle Case with my second G3.
[AT&T LG G3] w4rchild:
It seems that incipio is releasing case for other brand devices.

This is the only thing keeping me from buying this phone. Do you think it is safe to get the phone now and somewhere down the road, either your device or a replacement back will be available to plop on a mat at night?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Safe to get the phone now. The PMA chip is coming. Just a matter of when. Replacement back, it would be a while or never. All depends if AT&T releases them. Don't count on LG as PMA is AT&T required thing. Replacement back with PMA charging will only happen if someone buys blank battery doors and installs these chips onto them.
[AT&T LG G3] sailindawg:
Be interesting to see if these charging chips are more robust than the PMA quick circle case that people are saying quit charging after a few weeks to months in the AT&T G3 forums.
[AT&T LG G3] gashadow:
The installation instructions say to remove the old NFC sticker. I am assuming the new wireless charging sticker has NFC built into it and you still have NFC capability. Am I correct?

I would just like to say thank you to op for making something like this happen. I took the pma sticker out of my quickcircle case and now it won't work on my original batter door :( So i'll be buying two when they are avaliable, again thanks. :D
[AT&T LG G3] xcsdm:
1 to give away

I have one Stock LG G3 back (LG Logo, not AT&T) that has the PMA sticker installed.

I removed the PMA sticker from the quick circle case. I removed the small metal disk, and replaced with 2 x .25mm neodymium magnet disks.

There is no bulge. NFC and PMA work. I'm sending the phone to MaxBack, and I figured someone should use this.

It works great with my 3 PMA mats. I will also include the snap-on quickcircle case because I have no need.

PM me, and I'll get with you. First message gets it. I only have the one.

I will ship UPS ground at my own expense.

UPDATE: The PMA back has been claimed.

[AT&T LG G3] pyro224:
Just to confirm, you will need to buy a powermat separately right? For example, could I buy this:

http://www.amazon.ca/Duracell-Powermat-Csa4W1-24-Hour-System/dp/B0082YVBMW

and use the powermat thats in this package with this sticker?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Correct, you will need this sticker chip as well as a powermat base to charge the phone.

PREORDERS SHOULD START 9/22 OR 9/23
[AT&T LG G3] Wickidmasshole:
I look forward to trying one of these out. I spent the $50 for the circle case (still kills me) just to extract the sticker, all to come and find out that the pull of the charge is very week. For instance i had a pretty thick case on my S5 with the wireless charging back and it would charge with the case on, on the flip side, i have a BUMPER case on my G3 and because there is just the slightest of bump on the back to protect the back plate from touching the table or whatever, it will not charge the phone with the bumper case on. Wicked frustrating.

Here's to hopping this aftermarket piece works better!!!
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
As a reminder, ALL chips have been tested by the manufacturer prior to shipping out to ensure that they are working. When I ordered 500 of the Qi chips, 2 people told me that it didn't work. I don't know if it actually didn't work or it was user installation error or their charger. But the success rate is very very high. JUST LIKE THE QI PREORDERS, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

So with these PMA, I'm positive that they will work.

I WILL UPDATE FIRST POST WITH ALL THE LATEST UPDATES LIKE I DID WITH THE QI THREAD.
[AT&T LG G3] Itaintrite:
This is awesome!
[AT&T LG G3] w4rchild:

Thanks!!!
[AT&T LG G3] sturmen:
How much are we expecting one of these to cost? Shipping within the continental US.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
$20-25 each including shipping via First Class with tracking. 2-3 Day Priority Mail will also be available for $5 more for those who want it even quicker. Same price as the Qi chips.

Per manufacturer..."You are the first client we inform and we can garantee that you are the first client to get the goods." Since I went and purchased a AT&T LG G3 at full price and mailed it to them so they can do research on the phone, they're letting me have first dibs. So I'll be the FIRST to have them and offering them exclusively to XDA members first. You'll technically be the SECOND to have them on hand before anyone else. Lol.

I just sent payment to them. The chips should be shipping out end of the week. I will have the PMA chips sometime next week. If everything goes to plan, I should be shipping chips out the week of October 5th.
[AT&T LG G3] netjack:
Sorry to ask a n00b question but has it been confirmed that these stickers re-charge the phone at a much slower rate than the rapid wall chargers (which begrudgingly I've gotten to love their charge rate)?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Charging will be slightly slower than wall chargers. This is a given regardless if it's this chip or any other phone or tablet that is charging wirelessly. It's just how wireless charging is. It will NEVER be as quick as plugging into the wall.

If you're looking for a quick charge, wireless charging is not the way to go.
[AT&T LG G3] sturmen:
Excellent, you can expect an order from me! I hope they give your AT&T G3 back or at least credit you for what it's worth!
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Actually, they reimbursed me for it...well it was more of a trade off. I send them phone and they sent me Qi chips. My pregnant wife would kill me if I just sent the phone without being compensated. Even if they sent the phone back, I would have no use for it as I'm not on AT&T.

They're interested in doing research on the Note 4, iPhone 6 and 6+ so I may have to spend over $2000 on new phones at full price and have it shipped to them. This ties up my personal funds but anything to help the community get accessories. If I was a business, I wouldn't care as I would have money available but I don't.
[AT&T LG G3] SamsungGalaxyStig:
Thank you for all your help. Count me in. Are these being sourced overseas?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:

Cheap charging plate

FYI if anyone's looking for a cheap Powermat charging plate, here's one for $7: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00462QB4W (buy from widgetree)

I just got 2 in today and it works with the Quick Circle case. It has its own wall charger though; no micro USB involved. Just toss the Blackberry back.
[AT&T LG G3] partylikeaninjastar:
Are Qi stickers for T-Mobile still available? I'll following this thread to get wireless charging for my girlfriend's AT&T phone, but I wouldn't mind having it for my T-Mobile phone as well.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I am no longer selling them since you can get them on ebay and Amazon.
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
This is very cool and thanks for setting this all up!

Four questions:

1) So you take your back cover off, pull off the existing sticker, and put the new sticker on?

2) Is the old sticker ruined by the removal process?

3) Is accurate placement of the new sticker very critical?

4) With a duracel-type mat, how long do we expect a full charge to take?

Thanks!
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
1) Yes, you take the back cover off, pull off the existing sticker and put the new sticker on. Same method as the Qi

2) Once you remove the old sticker, you can no longer reuse it. Same as the Qi.

3) Honestly, there is no such thing as "accurate". So as long you place it in the proper area, it will work. if it does not, very very minor shifting will be needed. But the battery door already has the grooves for where the chip should go. Some people go and outline where the old chip was with a marker/pencil. I never did any of that and just placed the chip on the battery cover and on the grooves. Before applying the heat dispatching sticker, I test to make sure the wireless charging works. Once it's working, I apply the heat dispatching sticker.

You can also check out this video for installation (EVEN THOUGH ITS FOR THE QI, THE CHIP WILL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME AND INSTALLATION WILL BE THE SAME)

[YOUTUBE]nOHRvZCwbBo[/YOUTUBE]​

4) I do not have the answer to this. I don't know what the charging rate of the PMA/Powermat is. But it will be slower than using a USB cable. This goes for ALL wireless charging. So if you're looking for a quick charge, don't bother with wireless charging. Wireless charging is the convenience of having no wires connected to the phone and best left to charge while you're sleeping.
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
Great! Thanks, and I'll be looking for the email letting us know when it's ready...any day now it looks like.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I just updated first post with a video of it working. For those curious, it still has a magnet.

Question

I have never tried wireless charging before. I'm very interested in this.

I have my phone in an Otterbox Defender case. Will wireless charging work with that thick of a case?

Thanks

Don
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Wireless charging will work through a case.
[AT&T LG G3] sturmen:
Are you affiliated with DCEmu? I remember they used to be huge back in like '06.
[AT&T LG G3] pyro224:
Is shipment to Canada possible or USA only?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Yes, I'm am affiliated with DCEmu. I own/run the reviews portion.

As of now, I will be shipping to Canada. It will cost about $2 more than USA shipping. My only issue is that there is no tracking number. Only proof I can send is shipping confirmation from PayPal. I looked at USPS with tracking and the only option is Priority Mail which is about $29!!! Which is ridiculous for a small item. Unless people are willing to pay for it, I can offer it but I highly doubt people will pay roughly $50 or so including shipping for the chip.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
UPDATE FOR CANADIANS

So I had someone in Canada send me payment so I can do a mock shipping label. Printing shipping labels through PayPal only offered Priority Mail International which would of been $24 to ship the package. There is no way anyone would pay that much for a package nor would I even let anyone pay that much. That's just ridiculous. So shipping through the convenience of PayPal is not an option.

I did a mock shipping via www.stamps.com and I can still ship to Canada but it will cost slightly more (this will also require me to manually enter shipping addresses and each order manually). With this, it will also have tracking number (per stamps.com). I won't be able to know until I actually print a shipping label. A drawback of shipping through stamps is that with my current account, I can ONLY ship 15 package per billing cycle. So once I use up all 15, I will have to wait until billing cycle starts fresh. I will have to call them to see if there is an alternative.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Sorry but preorder has been postponed a day still sorting the issue with shipping to Canada. Looks like I will have to limit Canada shipments to 15 per month.

Sorry for the delay.
[AT&T LG G3] Nutzzer:
iazybandit,

I am interested in getting one and curious as to how the preorder work? Do I just email you at 19/26 at 12am? Or will you have a page for us to purchase from?
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
NO EMAILING. Otherwise I would be bombarded with emails. The ONLY emails I should be receiving are PayPal payment notifications when preorders open. LOL

[AT&T LG G3] sturmen:

[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I contacted the manufacturer for shipping update and was informed that there will be 2-3 day delay as the WPC Ferrite (black shielding) is being adjusted for better performance. However, I will open preorders as scheduled.

PREORDER GROUP 1 IS NOW OPEN.

As a reminder, I can only accept 15 orders per month for Canada shipping due to my stamps.com account limitations. If you have access to US shipping address, please use this option as it will be quicker and cheaper.
