Wireless charging is only good for certain places. Like a desk, or bedside, or in a car. Just because you just drop it down and do not have to fiddle with cables. Ever come into a dark room for bed, your gf is asleep, its pitch black, and try to find your cable, figure out which side is up, and plug it in when its complete darkness? Sucks. Wireless pads, just sit it down and pass out.

Car. Just sit it in the tray. Get a call, grab it. No driving while fumbling with a cord to plug in.

Great for work too. It not only gives me a dedicated place to grab it, but my phone becomes an extention of my PC for emails. Lay it down and pick it up between emails. Super easy.

Plus it is a slow charge, which is best for charging. If I fast charge, itll drain fast. If I slow charge, itll drain slow. Once you start it, youll be addicted and wonder why everything doesnt wirelessly charge.

So.

My G4 was locking up in the morning around my alarm. I think I figured it out. If I grab the phone with my alarm and leave it off the charger afterwards its fine. If I snooze and put it back on the charger, it gets goofy.

So every morning I grab it and just keep it next to me until I actually wake. (Another awesome reason to wireless charge, no messing with cords when youre half asleep)
[G4 Accessories] wolfgart:
i see you have used tape to positioning wireless sticker to G4.

How do you have done ? Can you make an installation video ?
[G4 Accessories] rogconnect:
I just aligned the contact and taped it so I can interchange my cover. Just make sure the cover have the NFC Sticker removed and have tape on the cover contact point too.

Ok but do you have used conductive tape or can use general tape too?

Strange thing is how can back cover be conductive using insulation tapethat is "no electrical" material

Inviato dal mio LG-H815 utilizzando Tapatalk
[G4 Accessories] rogconnect:
Its the coil which is concentrated on the center of the sticker that conductive. I have been using this technique on my G3 for a while. And changing battery is easy, just lift the sticker a bit.

Just wanted to recount my experience.

I bought http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html

When I installed it as directed, it didn't work for charging. The Qi charger recognized there was a device present, but the phone didn't indicate it was charging, and the battery went down over time. So, it wasn't charging.

I initially attempted to improve the contacts by soldering just a bit of solder to the sticker itself, so that the contacts would be rounded and 3D instead of flat; that way they would push better into the corresponding contacts on the phone.

This didn't work. I couldn't tell if the problem was that they weren't aligned, or whatever; so I then attempted to attach the sticker to the phone/battery (just with scotch tape) instead of to the case.

This worked- with the case off. With the case on, wireless charging again didn't work.

I surmised that the plastic/leather of the case itself couldn't be the problem, but the OEM NFC sticker could be interfering somehow. I ripped it out, destroying it in the process.

Huzzah! With the case back on, everything works. At this point I noticed NFC wasn't working, though; so I then applied some solder to the NFC pins on the sticker, too; and now everything works.

I'm going to leave the sticker taped to the phone instead of to the case. I think this makes more sense. I might get some good double-sided tape and attach it to the battery. It's easier to align this way, and in the future if I trade backs out or something, I won't have to get another sticker.

I got my sticker today from an eBay seller. After adjusting the placement slightly, it's worked perfectly. $4 well spent.

Edit: After affixing the overlay, it doesn't work now. Guess I'll prop up the connectors and see if that helps.

Second edit: I removed and adjusted the phone back a little bit and it has a solid connection again.

Third edit: I've added two electrical tape shims under the connectors, we'll see if it provides a more reliable connection. The initial signs are good.
[G4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
So I got a quick circle case with wireless charging just to test and I get the same results as shown here. I guess the wireless charging is broke on my phone...

[G4 Accessories] arsi123:
Could we remove the wireless charging chip/sticker from the official quick circle case and install it onto the original back cover of the phone? Possible?

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Maybe it's the wireless charger itself that's broke?
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
That sucks but atleast you found out for sure. Maybe you can ask for a replacement or something from the place you bought yours but you have the international version right so might be SOL ?
[G4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Yeah I'm afraid I might be sol. I've contacted them so well see.

It's the same result on the 4 different chargers I have. I showed 2 in the video :(.

Received my sticker from ebay today. No matter how I reposition my phone, it doesn't seem to charge my phone. Tested on two different Qi chargers. NFC works though so I'm not sure what's going on.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Anyone notice there is a newisdom "upgraded version" for sale though not much in the way of details
[G4 Accessories] fury161:
I ordered one just to see if there is any difference. I should have it in a day or two. I ordered the original from them also and works like a charm.

I have a Tylt Vu and haven't had any charging problems.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Good, i have a vu too so ill just hold off a bit to see what you find
[G4 Accessories] titustaga:
wireless

how fast does it charge
[G4 Accessories] Scottland:
Ditto, same here. The sticker works if you manually tape it onto the back without the back cover - so it's not faulty. I've tried upteen positions but still no luck, I might try the solder trick as posted earlier in this thread.

Edit: Some success, I used some stick foam pads to prop up the contact and it does seem to be working now - so it appears to be a problem with the contacts meeting properly.
[G4 Accessories] wolfgart:
finally working !!!!

i want to share my experience:

cutted away existing sticker on the battery cover but leaving in place the piece for NFC and WIRELESS charge (you can use a simple cutter)

then attached on another wireless sticker (new one) in same place. Result : all works like a charm using WCD-100

My opinion finally is that under the NFC and WiFi contacts (on the battery cover) you have to put a shim

Works like a charm now using Leather battery cover too ;) : http://imgur.com/a/KoGdO
[G4 Accessories] fury161:
So the NeWisdom Upgrade is worth it. It didn't require the tape under each contact as it has been pre installed. Lined up the sticker and it charged right off the bat.

I found it easier to roll some tape and attach to the battery then aligned the sticker on top, peel the paper and apply the back. No second guessing if its going to work.

It appears its on sale, I paid 10.80 and it arrived in 11 days. You will need to click on the Grey one its the 5th pic above Buy Now.
[G4 Accessories] bleuxeon:
I wonder what is the difference between the grey one and the black one?
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Are you having any of the weird usability or stability issues others in this forum reported when on the qi charger
[G4 Accessories] fury161:
Black one is the old version requiring modification to work the Grey one is the way to go. I haven't experienced the charging issues but I haven't had it charging and the alarm set at the same time and I have both stickers.
[G4 Accessories] LOLWOWJason:
Thank you very much!

Yes,you are right, i will try it.
[G4 Accessories] nsmal24:
So for clarification, is anyone using wireless charging and not having phone lockup issues after extended charging? It seems like it happens at some point during the night after the phone has reached 100%. There are times that I grabbed it in the middle of the night (well after it hit 100%) and it was burning hot. It seems some/all of these IC chips may not be so intelligent. If you are NOT having these issues, could you provide a link to the sticker that you purchased and also mention what QI charging pad that you are using? I use an Anker 5 port intelligent USB charger (not QC2.0 so it does about 1A) to power my QI pad and for cabled charging. When I charge via cable (at approx. 1A), the phone doesn't get warm at all.

Also, I purchased my sticker from amdeals on Amazon and I'm using a 3-coil Qifull charging pad (though I've tried others with the same result).

[G4 Accessories] lukits01:
I've been using an ebay qi wireless charging sticker for a week or so now, always charging my phone overnight or in the office, can't say I've noticed any stability issues. After an overnight charge I don't feel the phone to be overly warm.

these are what I'm using connected to the charger that came with my LG G4:

oh, might be worth noting that I had this lockup issue when I was using a third party launcher.

It has been fine so far using the LG stock launcher.
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Just installed the wireless sticker, works very well but I'll have to get a better charging pad.

It does add a little bit of bulge (feeling noticeable next to the volume down key but invisible to the eye really)

Installation was easy and charging is efficient, pic attached.

Very happy with this purchase, thanks for the very good advice from here.

Regarding the phone going crazy, I suspect daydreaming to be involved. I deactivated it and will report back if I see the issue again.

Update: more than changing the charging pad, changing the power source of the pad was critical. With a wall adapter I get a much more consistent charge, and significantly less finicky alignment requirement.

Super happy with this sticker from NeWisdom (upgraded version)
[G4 Accessories] player911:
Something tells me it could be nova. I have a dedicated thread about this. I thought about it before because the launcher is crashed.

Some also said launchers based on lollipop (nova) run like crap. I might try Acrion Launcher 2 (which I love on tablets) and see if it helps.

UPDATE:

Nope! Woke up with Action Launcher 2 crashed. Same behavior. Background was flipping between stock and black. The SystemUI kept crashing. Rebooted and it was fine.

So finally bit the bullet and put in the sticker with leather back. Worked fine day one,so it seemed. Left on tylt charger over night and next am noticed only around 90 percent charge. Didn't think much of it, but now when i try it, i have Same issue as other person reported few pages back, tylt light shows iy should be charging, but phone doesn't charge anymore, so not sure if the sticker broke the phone or wjay

[G4 Accessories] Contivity:
Got NeWisdom qi sticker

So far I got it working properly. It's day 1, but who knows. So far I've put it on and off the Wireless charger (I got the n4 qi charger from Google)

If it doesn't work consistently, it may mean you didn't align it properly.

Install tip for perfect alignment:

Instead of pasting it to the back cover, paste it to the back of the phone first to align the pins and make sure NFC consistently work first, then use tapes to tape the sticker down. After that's done, I put the back cover on. The 3M should stick harder than the scotch tape I put on, so it would pull the tapes.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
I've moved things around since ot stopped but no help. But it was working fine for almost a day if it was positioned wrong, wouldn't it have stopped working sooner or not at all?
[G4 Accessories] Contivity:
It could have shifted. But who knows..
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
Did you put something to shim up the wireless charging pins up? You need to for the wireless charging to work consistently.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Yes, that didn't seem to make difference. Found another forum here on xda doing a review of the newisdom,and there seem to be more folks there having similar issues after some varying period of time
[G4 Accessories] byt3b0mb:
ive got stickers in two different backs with the shim for the charging pins and they both work flawlessly with multiple receivers. maybe you got a bad one?

[G4 Accessories] Contivity:
If it's not working and they ask too much, just return from AMZN. AMZN has a pretty generous and easy return policy.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Sp appears I'm sol, new yootech behaves same as other sticker. This time doing the install as some one weeks suggested, just lined it up on back of phone and taped it down. Same thing, tylt thinks it's charging but no charge indicated by phone. Anyone else using any of these stickers reliably with tylt charger?
[G4 Accessories] Colchiro:
My stickers from NW work fine as long as I don't have a case on my G4, o/w they get real finicky and I have trouble charging.

My TYLT 3 coil charger is worse than some cheap $7 chargers I got from China.
[G4 Accessories] Unseeablething:
I replied to another thread about this, but I have used both. They both worked great for me, but the Yootech has some serious game. I can easily charge through a huge stack of paper and near instant "lock on" time.
[G4 Accessories] justbecko:
Guys, I ordered a QI/NFC sticker from ebay a couple of weeks ago and was just waiting for the wireless charger to come (which happened today).

Anyway, I scrapped off the old sticker and put on the new sticker. At first it didn't work, but then I remembered reading something about putting a piece of paper between the pins and the back, so they make better contact, I did this and it worked. The phone charges wirelessly but the NFC isn't working. Anyone else knows a trick for that as well? :D Or do I have to do anything with the phone to manually enable it?

I cant post the link for the exact sticker since i'm new user but it was some unbranded chinese sticker worth about $4.

BTW, wireless charging works great, it starts instantly even with my case on.
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
It just sounds like your pin alignment is off. Readjust the sticker, paying close attention to the pin location.

The way I did it was to put a piece of double sided tape on the battery, then lower the wireless sticker on top, making sure both pin locations are making contact. Take off the back of sticker to expose the sticky tape. Then carefully lower the back cover right where it's supposed to be and click all the edging in place. Then gently press on the back cover where the sticker is. This is a good time to test the wireless charging and nfc. If both work, slowly take the cover off and sticker should be attached to back cover. Remove double sided tape and finish it off with the shielding thing.

And yup, without the shim for the wireless pins, it won't work consistently.

Edit: make sure nfc is turned on on both devices. :)
[G4 Accessories] Barsky:
Do any of these exist that don't bulge the back?
[G4 Accessories] mswlogo:
I'm researching this myself and found this video. No bulge added.

[G4 Accessories] Barsky:
Sometimes your want a bulge, sometimes you don't!

I saw someone's review that their slim model still bulged around volume buttons area. Shrug

Maybe the answer is not adding the cover piece over the actual antenna piece.
[G4 Accessories] rawdikrik:
They all seem to bulge, right around the volume down button.
[G4 Accessories] mswlogo:
I will be receiving the NeWisdom back cover today with the sticker preinstalled by them.

Even though it was pricey, this seemed like a good idea in case it does not work to my liking it's easy to return and I have not butchered my original back cover.

And they are responsible to get it positioned correctly. I also bought NeWisdom charger which is also pricey.

I think the same company makes all these stickers.
[G4 Accessories] mswlogo:
Update: I received the Newisdom preinstalled Sticker in OEM cover and their charger. I could not get the cover to stay on. Seam on side kept opening up.

It did charge fine and their charger is nice. But I can't have this open seam.

The bulge was barely perceivable. You would not know it, if you never saw original.

They did have the extra sticky on, but it is razor thin and I don't believe the cause of it not staying on. I suspect it's just tolerances and not designed to be on with added tension.

I'm glad I bought it like this, because no harm done and I will get full refund including shipping with Amazon and took minimal time to test.

I'm tempted to get LG OEM Case and rip door off. But I don't want this phone any wider. It won't fit my proclip and width is perfect now.

Will LG eventually release a wireless back cover?

EDIT: After doing some digging I see references a G3 having an official Wireless Back cover. I believe these are all 3rd parties. LG Web site has no such animal for the G3 and I suspect their will not ever be one for G4 either.

EDIT: On recommendation from Newisdom I removed the cover logo sticker. It was still VERY TIGHT and popping the seam. But I kept massaging it on and now it's staying. I think it will do better over time because the contacts and sticker are pliable and they will conform a bit. So if it stays on now it should be ok. So I plan to keep it. I'd almost go as far as saying I don't see any bulge. Also I confirmed with LG, there are no plans for a OEM Wireless backcover and there never was for the G3. So if you want wireless this is your only choice. I think if I were to buy a sticker I'd buy the slim. It's easier to boost the contacts if needed than deal with it being too thick. I also can't imagine popping OEM cover off daily to swap batteries.

Hello, Ive ordered a sticker from ebay, its brandless. The attaching part was kinda difficult but finally its working. I'm experiencing only 1 really annoying issue, that after ~10-15 minutes its just stops. Its not an overheating issue, since my phone is cold.

Anybody got an idea why its happening? Maybe the phone goes to deep sleep or anything else?

ps.: It somehow controlls badly my screen. Sometimes Notification bar comes down while charging.
[G4 Accessories] rich_bown:
I had the same issue, and I put a small piece of blu-tak under the QI contacts of the sticker where it sits inside the case to raise the contacts up a bit.

Seems to be fine now, hope it helps.
[G4 Accessories] jobella:
I had the same problem too. It is not the alignment. I see the marks the pins that my phone makes on the NFC pads so I know the pins are touching. I tested the NFC coil in the sticker with my Ohmmeter and I get about an Ohm of resistance so I know the sticker is not open.

My factory back works fine with NFC. The sticker does not work with NFC. So, the sticker is defective.

But the stickers are antennas and need more than a simple continuity test. I've come to the conclusion that these stickers just aren't designed or made properly. The wireless charging works fine on the sticker.
[G4 Accessories] Draegloth:
Thanks for the awsome advice Im going to try it. Thanks
[G4 Accessories] rich_bown:
No problem, some people say a little piece of card, but i find that some blu-tak is 'squishy' enough to make a perfect fit (and you will only need the tiniest amount)

General advice for anyone who is doing this upgrade (and I've done a fair few for myself and others now) is the important thing is to make sure that both sets of contacts line up properly.

Ignore the instructions, lay the phone down on its screen with the back off so that you can see the battery and the contacts the sticker has to align with, and the open back of the phone is facing up at you.

Take the backing off the sticker, and place it face down over the battery (sticky side up facing you) onto the back of the phone so that both sets of contacts mate up with the ones on the back of the phone.

Then lower the leather back onto the back of the phone in one go so that it is lined up with the camera cutout, but not so hard that it clicks onto the back of the phone.

Then lift the leather case again, the sticker will be in the right place, just press it down a bit harder and cover with the overlay sticker.

Sod measuring it, or marking it with a pencil.
[G4 Accessories] bruceo:
I found it was easy to align by removing the bottom 1/4 of the backing so that it will stick enough to stay in place but was easy to remove it without damaging coil or contactors if the alignment was off. Once I put the back on and tested that qi and NFC worked then I just folded the sticker over a little, removed the rest of the paper backing and fully adhered the sticker. I did peel back the qi contacts some and stuck a folded layer of tape behind them to make sure the qi contacts stayed well pressed together. Then I put the cover layer on. No bulging of the stock case. Got the sticker from Ali express. Only downside was the shipping wait. Use with the powerbot $10 charger with no problems and NFC stickers on my wallet, house, cars...
[G4 Accessories] Marshall1975:
I opted to pay a little more for mine from amazon. uk. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Y2P8QHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Have been using it for over a month and a half now and it works flawlessly. Never stops charging and the phone does not get hot at all while charging. Put it on the back of my genuine leather cover with just about no bulge at all. Certainly seems you get what you pay with these wireless stickers.
