The magnet centers your phone on the pad for the optimal charging location.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I got most of it off on the first pull. And I used a small putty knife to get the rest off. One video I saw recommended using a hair dryer, so try heat.
[AT&T LG G3] chayes627:
Did you happen to have a chance to try this out. The little bump/buldge drives me nuts. The PMA isn't nearly as forgiving as Qi with placement, so I think this may be a good solution.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
The problem is the pad itself makes the noise regardless of if the phone is on silent or not.

However, I have tested this with the Duracell one and I do not get the same issue. Its only on the smaller powermat one.
[AT&T LG G3] xraytedjim:
I took the magnet off and I still can't get case to close all the way. I also have lots of problems with even getting it to work. It works one minute and then doesn't the next.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
Just wanted to share my experiences. Similar to others I am unable to get the back to close properly with the magnet and without the magnet. The sticker is much more thicker than I imagined and I don't know how anyone was able to get the back cover to close. Also, whatever adhesive was holding in the original NFC sticker seemed flake off and get everywhere, immediately scratching the surface of my new pma charger and the back of the phone when I first tried the wireless charging.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Mine closes just fine. I have yet to put the heat dissipating tape yet though.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
Does it close as if the original NFC sticker is installed or is there a bulge in the middle? Mine snapped close at the top and bottom but had a bulge in the middle
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
I didnt notice any bulge until I looked really closely. On mine is barely noticeable.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
After time and force I was able to get it closed. But to me the amount of force to close it seemed excessive. I'm not confident that in the long term the extra pressure is good for everything inside the phone. It is definitely noticeable around the volume buttons.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
Probably in the near future, you will be able to buy the total package. A new back with the sticker installed. Either the back will be a little bigger, or the chip will be smaller. An maybe it will charge with a case on. And if you wait long enough, it will be dirt cheap. for the time being, I am happy with set up now, but I am one of the lucky ones where my back closes tight. I hope the backless bumper case I ordered will solve the other issue.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Which bumper did you order?
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I got this one, but the auction that I bought it from must have ended because I paid $2.04 for it. It's comming from china so I will probably wait a few weeks for it. But for 2 bucks delivers, what do I have to loose.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Si...Domain_2&var=490490388593&hash=item2c8ec723cb
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Nice I ordered one as well. I had ordered one on Amazon but they cancelled my order as their supplier didnt send them anymore.
[AT&T LG G3] zxd3:
I got it to work with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid if anyone was interested in that case, it takes some positioning but it does work.
[AT&T LG G3] ptcary:
Thanks!

Just wanted thank the OP for selling these!

I have the single Duracell Powermat and it works, but mine also stops charging at 100%, I will probably just live with it.

I opened the charger case and removed the speaker so mine is silent. There are 4 screws under the rubber feet.

Mine does charge with the Nillkin bumper from eBay case on it.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Good news for me. The dual position duracell powermat charges through my tpu case.
[AT&T LG G3] dontremember:
Sorry - I meant I should look around town. I'd take my G3 in its tpu case to places like Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc, and ask to check if any given powermat would charge before buying it.
[AT&T LG G3] dwaded:
A question about the 4 vertical contacts on the phone. Which 2 are for the PMA and which 2 are the NFC?
[AT&T LG G3] Mastershroom:
The top two are NFC.
[AT&T LG G3] Cheech47:
Just got my sticker yesterday and was giddy to put it on. Taking off the old one isn't that big of a deal, neither is aligning the old one as there are plenty of markers on the rear case if you pay attention when you remove the old sticker, I was able to eyeball it just find and the contacts lined up on the first shot.

I will say, however, that with the magnet and the added circuitry to create the induction loop that it butts RIGHT up against the battery and where the rear cover might have snapped back on easily before (especially after some removal cycles), this will make it TIGHT. Make sure you have all sides securely snapped in. Also, I can confirm that the Supcase Unicorn Beetle does NOT work with PMA. My Powermat made a connection, the beep sounded and the light went on, then everything died a few seconds afterwards. No case, no problem and it ran all night. My guess is because of the thicker plastic on the back messes with the magnetic field and the induction loop, I'll experiment with thinner case materials and see what I come up with.

All in all, a solid buy, and for the cost of a Quick Circle case from AT&****ty, you can pick up a PMA sticker, 2-position Powermat with a tiny 1840mAh PMA-enabled backup battery, a iPhone 4 case that you won't use ever again, and still have 10 bucks left over to blow on blackjack and hookers.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
When I get home from work today, I am going to take a 1 1/2 inch wood drill and put a hole in the back of my TPU case and see if I can charge with it. Hopefully it will not tear up the case. I will let you know how it works.
[AT&T LG G3] Nutzzer:
Finally got the PMA stickers yesterday and was giddy putting it on. I ended up forgoing the little black 1cm sticker and the coverup sticker and just used the PMA charger. Took a couple of tries but finally got the PMA sticker to a position it liked and is now charging fine. Again, the back cover will be tight, but no bulge or anything...it just works.

Thanks again!
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
Mine doesn't work at all. I have taken it on and off at least 10 times. I get no sound when I put it on my Duracell Mat. I'm not sure if I received a dud or what is going on. So far a waste of my money in two ways. One the mat and second the chip.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I finally got mine to work removing the magnet, not sure why, maybe I lucked out in the positioning removing that but it works. I do have a question for all. There is a small oval circle black sticker and I am not sure what that is used for. I looked under the contact and I do not see any cutout for a shape like that. I'm not sure what it is used for. Does anyone know? I don't want to cover the chip until I know it's not needed.

thanks for the help...
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
It goes behind the contacts. Probably why you had issues. It pushes the contacts from the sticker into the contact in the phone. I'ts in the film, watch it again and you will see it. Good luck.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
possibl, I got it to work ffine without both. Like others I didn't care

for the buldge in the center of the case. I messed up a bit on one

part but the sticker cover helped with that.

When removing the stickers and NFC, did you guys remove everything?

There is the side where the contact is but what is on the other side?

It was silver under it.

thanks
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Let me know! I am very interested to see if it helps.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
I don't get it. One minute it connects then the next it doesn't.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I keep moving it around the

pad and no noise. Now I wish I wasn't eager to be an early adopter.

These phones should come from the factory ready to go. What is

the hold up in bring this to standard...

thanks
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Which mat do you have? If the mat you have has a slight curve, this could be a problem (all speculation as I don't have a AT&T phone). You can also try realigning the sticker. A mm of shifting can make a difference.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
No, it didnot work. I ordered two other cases on Amazon today. I will let you know if they work and which ones I got. They will be here tomorrow.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
thanks, I'm afraid I don't have that option now. I already placed

the heat protection sticker over the chip. I got it to work last night

but it took me close to 15 for it to be happy. I'm not sure if OP has

extra stickers. I'm using the single Duracell pad.

thanks
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Extra stickers as in the heat dispatching? If yes, I have extras from the Qi batch. I haven't tried but I'm sure you're able to still realign the PMA chip with the heat dispatching on it. Some people who have contacted me was able to realign even with the heat dispatching already applied.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
I'm not sure why this is and I am still testing it out. I put a small business card in the center of the Duracell pad so the phone would not spin around when connecting, Seems to be helping but it's too soon to tell. At some point if I need a new sticker I will take you up on it. I wish they could figure out how to make the piece a little thinner so the case closes 100%. Is the QI sticker as thick as the PMA and do they have issues? Or were the PMA stickers made exactly the same way but with the PMA technology?

I was thinking about covering the pad completely with a thin layer of rubber material. I am wondering if it would still work through that thin layer and would it heat up the rubber too much?

thanks
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I can't remember off hand how thick the Qi is. But I think the PMA is a smidge thicker (excluding the magnet). I know with the PMA, the manufacturer had to retool one of the pieces because of the PMA technology is different from the Qi. That was why there was a delay in getting the chips out as well.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
thanks, I wish it was actually a little thinner, it might just fit perfect if it was. If I did take you up on another heat sticker, do you happen to have another that small sticker for under the contact? I think I could have positioned it a little better but I am having a hard time removing the old one. Going to try with an xacto knife but I don't want to rip it.

thanks
[AT&T LG G3] massivevoid:
Thanks. Looking forward to hear which ones will work.

I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle and it doesn't work, which is a bummer, because I like this case. It has two pieces, one that protects the screen and other for covering the back of the phone.

For the time being, I have it with the screen protector only. :laugh:
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Unfortunately, the little sticker pad I do not have. I had the manufacturer insert everything into it's own individual bags. With the Qi, the manufacturer would have everything separated and I would have to insert and cut each sticker individually. This was what took up majority of my time. So for the PMA, I had them cut and insert everything for me.

Use an xacto knife to help peel it. If that doesn't work, try using a hair dryer to help loosen the sticky adhesive before peeling it.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
sorry for so many replies. I have tested it all day at least 5 times so far using the business card on top. I switch just now to some craft board that I bought at an art supply store. I made it the shape of the pad and it's black. It seems like this (so far, knock on wood) it connects the first try. I'm not sure why there is an issue being on top of the pad. Does any have another pad beside Duracell that works? and what is the surface like? There is one for QI that is really nice and hold the phone at an angle. I don't mine the flat square pad but it seems that the slipper surface isn't helping with my connection. Hopefully

there will be no issues with heat between the pad and the phone with the craft board underneath. It's about the same thickness as the business card.

thanks for all the help
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
OK, tonight the phone with the TPU case with the 1 1/2 hole in the back is charging on my flat dual Duracell power mat. Go figure. the other two mats I have, a grooved and a flat singe power mat, still will only charge with the case off. Tomorrow I get two new cases to try. I hope one of them works will all my mats.
[AT&T LG G3] thcue:
Here is mine charging with DBrand skin on + Case on my power mat no issues. This was with no cutting etc :)
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
Okay, while the 2 device flat powermat does charge with a case on, it is very inconsistent. I have tried charging overnight twice. It starts off fine for awhile, I dont know how long but at least an hour, but when I wake up in the morning and nothing else has changed position wise, they have stopped charging and I am at half battery or something. So it isnt consistent enough to count on unfortunately.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
Here are the tale of three cases:

All at Amazon, all Amazon prime

But first of all, the chip workes great. It charges a hell of a lot faster than my Nesxus 4 did on the wireless Qi charger. My back closes all the way and I don't have a bulge.

1

Dizitron TPU case that I cut a 1 1/2" hole in the back. I like this case and had similar ones on my last two phones. 10 bucks

http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...4715&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=tpu+case+lg+g3+diz

Results: It did not work on the grooved and ungrooved small powermats, but did work on the duel Duracell powermat. But Like someone else here mentioned, after about 5 minutes it stopped charging

2

I got this case as someone else on this or another forum said it worked : Incipito Feather case. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRHZISA/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_2

I ordered it two days ago for 18 bucks, today it is 19 bucks. I don't like the case because it does not protect around the entire edge of the phone. Results:

It did not work on the smaller grooved powermat, but seems to be working on the large duel Duracell powermat. The small flat powermat is at work so I cannot test it until tomorrow.

3

I got this one for 8 bucks Xcessor classic bumper . It is backless and wraps entirely around the phone. It seems fine, but the back is naked. Some people seemed concern about those but who cares if you scratch up the back, buy a new one. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAYBA66/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

It works on both my large Duracell powermat and the small grooved powermat. I will test it on the small flat powermat at work tomorrow.

So #3 should work for all powermats, So far 2 is working for the flat Duracell, but I won't know till I wake up tomorrow and see if he continued to charge through the night. So far it has been on the charger for 10 minutes and is still charging

Also, I ordered a bumper case from china for off of eBay got $2.04 delivered. That won't be here for a while. It is all I probably would need.

Hope I am not boring anyone.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
I have the Diztronic TPU case. I should have specified that for you before you bought it. I ordered #3. I hope it works on the small single power mat receiver I have.
[AT&T LG G3] netjack:
FYI - with the white larger duracell mat, I no longer have the connect/disconnect chirps when I reach 100% like I did with the single black duracell mat.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
My final results:

Incipito Feather case. $19.00 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRHZISA/...528360_TE_dp_2

It works great with my duel Duracell flat powermat, but not with a grooved or flat single powermat.

Xcessor classic bumper . $8.00 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAYBA66/...528360_TE_dp_1

Worked with all three of my powermats. Except on the small flat powermatt, you get the alarm noise cycle when it is fully charged.

But of course, I have issues with both of these cases (not related to charging). They will do for now, but I am still hunting for the perfect case.

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

I got the case when I got the phone a few months ago. I just like this case. I have had one on my last two phones. I just wish it would let me wireless charge.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I am now getting that off and on noise with one of my two small mats. The Flat mat. The grooved mat does not do it nor does the duel Duracell Mat.
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
I disabled the speaker in my smaller mat .... It was annoying.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I don't keep my phone in my bedroom at night, so I don't care about the noise. My concern is that whatever the phone is repetitively doing, might not be good for it in the long run. Battery, electronics or the such. I have two of the larger Duracell's and they preform as they are supposed to. I will use one of the smaller ones at work and won't leave it on the charger once it's fully charged. I am hoping that LG comes out with a add on back door with a better charging sticker that works on everything trough a case. For now, I can live with what I have.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Unfortunately, it's not LG. It up to AT&T. In Europe, LG included wireless charging out of the box. With the US carriers, they didn't want it. So it's the decision of the carriers and not LG.
[AT&T LG G3] gashadow:
Several people have asked about cases that would work with the wireless charging. I have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case but I have a unique setup. I bought a "Powermat for Iphone 3G/3Gs" from Amazon. It had a slot on it that would fit the Iphone but definitely not the G3. I basically broke off the hard plastic cover which exposed the apparatus of the charger. I cut a square out of the clear plastic that the charger was packed in. I laid the plastic over the top of it and duct taped the edges. Now I have a smooth surface powermat wireless charger. I did not want to destroy the NFC chip in the original back cover so I bought a T-Mobile G3 back cover from E-Bay for 5 dollars. I installed the new wireless charging chip on the new cover that I bought. It doesn't go back on the phone as smoothly as the original cover did but with some extra attention to closing all of the edges, it is all sealed up with no gaps or bulging. I placed it on my modified charger and it was working perfectly. I then placed the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the phone. I laid the phone with the case on the charger and it seems to be working perfectly. I started with 50 per cent of battery and it is now up to 89 per cent and I expect it fully charge to 100 per cent. I don't know if this Spigen case will work in your situation but it is certainly working on mine.
[AT&T LG G3] sullysnet:
Now I hate the carriers here even more than I did before.......:mad:
[AT&T LG G3] shaxs:
So the weird thing about the small powermat that was giving me the constant on and off buzzing when the phone was fully charged, is it is not consistent. It was doing it last night but not this afternoon when the battery was at 100%. I can't seem to find out why it does it sometimes and not others.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Anyone have the Blackberry Powermat and got it to work or also had issues?
[AT&T LG G3] livinlargeinla:
I have 2 blackberry powermats, one for work & one for home. Both work without any issues whatsoever (without a case, of course).
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Thanks. One of the buyers contacted me and told me they were able to get it to work after cleaning the contacts.
[AT&T LG G3] d_bd_b:
Back will not close.

I received my PMA sticker yesterday and applied it after removing the stock NFC heat dissipation sticker and antenna. D852 model.

I am not able to close the back onto the phone on one side near the bottom of the phone. (The side without the fingernail grab point to remove the back.)

The PMA sticker is too wide, as it extends beyond the second deepest indentation on the back. What does that mean exactly, well if you look at your back it appears to be ground at different depths the lowest in the center and progressively wider and shallower as it extends toward the sides. I'm sure this is to accommodate the curvature of the back. The issue remains that the battery the PMA stick buts up to is flat, thus the space to accommodate the PMA sticker is reduced as you move up the 'levels' of indentation. (See attached picture.)

Secondary issue I've experienced is the removal of the shiny black back of the PMA sticker. It is stuck to the heat dissipation sticker after removal of the heat dissipation sticker when I attempted to re-position the PMA sticker to allow the back to close by moving it a quarter of a millimeter to perfectly center it. This has caused the heat dissipation sticker to kind of hold on by the edges since the shiny black back of the PMA sticker once removed from the PMA sticker does not stick back on. (See attached picture, yep same picture.)

Last concern, is the case bulging in the center. I assume this is 'just the way it is' since the sticker is a certain thickness.

The sticker is applied with the contacts in the correct position so far as I can tell as the charging works without issue, the first time and every time. (using the MAT000038-A Powermat)

Questions:

Has this sticker not been cut the correct width?

Can I cut the PMA sticker to have it fit?

Is it possible the D852 has a different back cover?

To answer some questions in advance:

The battery is not bulging. It's nice and flat.

The case closes properly with no bulge if the battery is removed.

Case colour is Silver if that matters.

The phone is branded D850 all over the back as i'm sure the D852 for Rogers in Canada is really just the ATT D850 re-marketed.

Thanks for the assistance in advance!
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I'm only answering based on what I know. I'm assuming the stickers have been cut to size but like anything produced, it may have a little extra on the sides. As for cutting, I'm not sure. I don't know how the interior of the chip is laid out. Someone's going to have to be a guinea pig.

As for the battery cover, I think all of them are the same whether it be Verizon, Sprint, Tmo, AT&T, Rogers, or Bell. Only difference is the carrier branding.
