I just got my newisdom qi(upgraded version) sticker and it has to be in an exact place to charge and if I have a case on, it wouldn't charge. I was wondering if my sticker is defective or that's how weak it is? My case is pretty thin too. I have a lg optimus g pro with a silicone case that can be place anywhere on the pad and it charges. Here is a pic of my case and charger

My phone still locks up occasionally when I wirelessly charge at night. I woke up early this morning, a few hours before my alarm went off and it was crashed. I am half tempted to buy a stupid official Folio case and test out whether it is the sticker or not. The ebay store is sending me another sticker, but I am not sure if that is the problem or not.

It is hard to test because the problem isn't consistent.

It could be the combination of case I am using (thin Exact Fit shell), the power of the Qi Sticker, placement, quality of the Qi Sticker, background apps, G4 OS. Maybe it depends on how many times it is connected/disconnected. I fell asleep on the couch last night plugged into USB. Woke up, went up stairs, put it on the Qi Charger, passed out, woke up, checked emails, put it back on the charger, woke up at 7am and it was locked up.
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
Looks just like my case, ditztronic tpu to be exact and I can't get it to charge at all with my charger at all, have to take it off. Honestly ditz cases seem to be a bit thicker than everyone else's, might be the issue. I only got this case as a temp as I originally planned on getting the quick circle case but ended up deciding against it after researching it more.
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
As strange as it is I had it happened to me today again 4x over the last 4 weeks or so. It was charged I took it off was doing some web browsing tossed it back on charger when done about an hour later grabbed it and got the black flashing background. It's really not a big deal to me simple 30 secs to reboot and it up and running again. I don't know the cause of it either since the first 2x I pinned it on the alarm. The third time I thought it was from having it sitting on the charger for hours after it was fully charged about 8+ but this 4th time is just as strange. I though maybe it was some apps bloatware so they other day did a factory reset and disabled about 95% of the Tmobile crap and a few other things. But then it happened today. It's got to just be the phone something going on maybe lollipop but I really don't care much about it since it never happened 2 days in a row always been atleast a week and a reboot fixes it.
[G4 Accessories] cleankutazn:
I thought this was the thinnest case out there? Best buy sells it as insignia. I heard some people charging through otterboxes :confused:
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
I think just with our curved back results may vary with our chargers. I had no trouble charging my nexus 5 or nexus 7 with any case, hell my nexus 7 charged with a thick folio case on it! I hear the stand chargers work better, going to look at a few soon
[G4 Accessories] player911:
Yeah you are absolutely right, the curve of the back could be interfering with the receiver coils, since they are not perfectly flat to the charger.

I have multiple Qi Charging pucks, although I would rather not swap the Nokia, because I really like the Nokia. It is easy to just throw on there and get it going.

I had a weird issue last night. It locked up on me twice. I woke up at 3am and noticed the Nokia Qi Charger'd LED, was blinking synchronously to the black flashing background. Almost like the charging app was crashing, reloading, charging, then crashing again. The Charging puck was sensing the phone, turning on Qi, then the phone would crash, the LED would go off, and the cycle would repeat.

I rebooted the phone... and put it back on the charger. This morning, it was locked up again, requiring a reboot. Really aggravating.

i've made this little video to show my Wireless charging experience, using wireless stickers and my LG wcd-100 charger.

I have 3 battery cover 2 leather (brown and black) and another plastic (Gold) and sure 3 wireless stickers attached .

All works like a charm ;) Remember to use some shim behind wireless sticker pin location ...

My video
[G4 Accessories] cleankutazn:
Even with the new upgraded sticker you have to do that? I know mine already has contact on the pins, but it not strong enough to get a charge with a thin case on :mad:
[G4 Accessories] wolfgart:
all will works fine if you use some shim under the terminal contacts on the sticker. ;)

Great G4, Great wifi charge with stock battery cover ;)
[G4 Accessories] RoyHinkley:
Got my upgraded sticker today. Lined it up with a little double faced tape on the battery, put on the back, pulled off the back, removed the tape and all is good. Did not shim the contacts and it works fine with a silicone case but not with an Otterbox Defender. Don't like the Defender anyway so returning it. Anyone think the shims are necessary with the upgraded sticker?

Update: I shimmed the contacts with electrical tape to see if it would make any difference. I used two layers of electrical tape at first - it did not make any difference with the Otterbox Defender case - still wouldn't charge. It also made the back bulge a little on one side. I tried one layer of tape and still had a little bluge (this is on the left side when looking at the back of the phone with the cover off). So I took all of the shims off the left side and it still works fine with the silicone case. Apparently the one that says "upgraded chip" does not need to be shimmed.

My brother has the official Samsung one for the s6 and its actually charged instantly when I laid my g4 on it lazily with a case. It's friggen huge compared to mine in which only has a diameter of the width of the nexus 5. His charger is about as wide as a CD! Kind of want one now lol
[G4 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
All Qi chargers aren't made equally...that's why a lot of people are having issues!
[G4 Accessories] larrydp:
I don't know if this has been posted already but Newisdom lowered prices on the upgraded wireless stickers. I bought a white one for $9.99 this morning with free 2 day shipping on Prime. I don't think I can post links yet but if you go to Amazon and search for newisdom you should be able to find it pretty easily.

Enjoy!
[G4 Accessories] cleankutazn:
My charger gets really hot and so does the phone. In the long run the phone will be toast. So far I think this is just a gimmick.
[G4 Accessories] GripR:
Hey Guys

I got my sticker today, NFC works, but when I place it on my wireless charger it doesn't charge. I'm using the pad from my Nexus 5.
[G4 Accessories] KiOtO:
NFC Stickers

I received my stickers today. Mounted one in my black leather back and one in my gold back. Both stickers mounted in less than 10 mins. I use i-Blason Case for LG G4 [Halo] Scratch Resistant Bumper Cover - Multiple colors. With this case works good wireless charging. I have no problems. I use WCD-100 charger.:D
[G4 Accessories] clockcycle:
How are you guys removing the stock NFC sticker? Are you able to save it, in case you have to reuse it, or just ripping it out?

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

Go figure it's always like that. I got to buy one off their other ad for $12.99 - it was delivered yesterday.

EDIT: I see white and gold were lowered to $9.99
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
It seems that a lot of people are pretty familiar with Qi charging but just in case you're experiencing difficulties with getting a consistent charge (typically a solid charging led), consider how your charger is plugged. Using a wall adapter (as opposed to a USB plug on a random device like computer, TV, set top box,...) makes a world of difference in the stability of the charging, and the alignment "forgiveness".
[G4 Accessories] larrydp:
I ended up going a little overboard with covering my bases to make sure I always had a working back...first I bought a knockoff circle case on eBay and ripped the front off then got a little brave and bought the battery door with the wireless sticker that was advertised from aliexpress in the other wireless thread (that listing is for two separate pieces, I thought the battery door had the sticker preinstalled). I thought I got a defective card and had been stalking the newisdom one on my Amazon wish list for a while when it finally dropped prices I went with the $9.99 white one, it'll be here tomorrow. Once I get brave enough to tinker with the sticker again I'll install that one on my original G4 battery door.

How is yours working so far?
[G4 Accessories] clockcycle:
I used a hair dryer and soften it up some on my original gray metallic plastic back, then peeled it off slowly.

Then I used tape to line up the NeWisdom. But I could not get NFC to work right. So I taped the original back and realized the same error. Thought, shoot I had a faulty NFC all along and never tested.

So I checked the alignment some more, made sure it was placed "better" test it again, this time worked slightly better, no error.

Then I put the NeWisdom back in aligning the NFC portion as best I could, test ok.. I jumped the gun on the sticker, as I knew I was gonna get it and perhaps some others as well. But I've not decided on a QI Charger yet.. LOL

Been watching slickdeals, missed out on some really good deals, so I'm waiting for them to hopefully come again. TYLT Vu, Spigen, Anker, LG Puck, LG G3 dock, LG Nexus 4 Orb, FosPower 1.5A output, and the EC Technology® 50W 10A 5-Port Smart USB Charger with Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad

EDIT: I bought mine from NeWisdom on Amazon, it does not have the 3M adhesive.
[G4 Accessories] KJW979:
NeWisdom does sell battery covers with Qi sticker preinstalled, not cheap though 49.99. There on Amazon.
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
Yeah I'm still trying to decide on a charger. The spigen one looks really nice and its 2amp. Not included but the stock g4 charger is 2amps so should work perfectly
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Well unfortunately my sticker decided to stop working after 2 weeks of wireless bliss. I noticed that when charging, there was a high-pitch noise that I don't hear with my Nexus7. Anyone had a similar experience?
[G4 Accessories] Charsher47:
It looks like the AT&T variant (H810) is having trouble charging with cases.

To those with an H810, are you able to wirelessly charge with a case? If so, what charger/case combo? I've tried a few combos but with no success, only charges case-less :(
[G4 Accessories] waylo:
Depending on the exact positioning of the phone back in relation to the qi charging element, you can get odd squeaking or whining noises. Happens to lots of phones I have if the positioning is not quite right.
[G4 Accessories] waylo:
So I purchased one of these to test my G4. I had just received a OEM quick circle case, and it never quite worked right from the beginning. The ability to charge finally died a day or so after I received it. I didn't think a shim would be necessary for the OEM case, but I tried it anyway, but still no go.

The sticker arrived today. With the phone back off, and me physically holding the 2 important connectors onto the sheet, the qi charger did not activate when I laid it on the back of the phone. No case in between, not even the normal back!

I did a factory reset with no improvement. Wireless charging is supposed to work even when the phone is off, so not sure how much of a role the firmware plays in this.

I deduced my wireless charging was broken. I dropped by the store today, where after they repeated the same testing (they had a G4 there which charged just fine with the OEM back), eventually got me a working replacement.

So maybe it's a one-off, but don't discount the unfortunate possibility of the wireless charging system breaking.
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
So yeah I got a spigen 2amp 3 coil charger, still won't charge with my ditztronic case. Guess it's not that big of a deal considering the ditz case comes off easily and it's not all for not as it's a lot less effort lining up the phone
[G4 Accessories] waylo:
Do you know if your phone can still wireless charge, maybe with another sticker or OEM case?

So I just experienced this with the OEM Quick Circle Case. I placed the phone carefully in the same configuration I normally do on my Samsung OEM Qi charger. A little while later, I started to hear a high pitched noise from the phone on the charger, and the charging started to fade/die off. I pulled the phone off immediately! I powered down the phone, then put it on the Qi charger. It booted up normally and started charging again.

I vaguely remember some funny sounds coming from my first phone when the wireless charging died completely. (I did have root--the only thing I did not do before returning it was restoring completely to stock to see if this played a role in the wireless charging dying).

I am getting really SUSPICIOUS of the engineering put into the wireless charging unit of these phones!

Can people comment on if they have root or not when their charging stopped working?
[G4 Accessories] KJW979:
Have a rooted tmobile H811 running MicroMod extreme rom with newisdom sticker. Last night could not get it to wireless charge at all where previous night it started charging second i placed it on charger. Other than spend 20 mins or so moving phone around and unplugging/plugging charger back in didn't investigate any further. Hopefully it hasn't stopped working completely, will investigate further after work.
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
Think I'm about to give up on wireless charging. My old ravpower puck wouldn't charge with a case on and lining it up was a pain due to the size of the phone so I shelled out $26 on a nice spigen 2amp 3 coil charger only to have the exact same issues. Sometimes I'll set it on there and it'll start charging right away. Other times it'll sit there and make this electrical current sound forever and won't charge. Sometimes it'll take 3 times of sitting it on the charger. And today I wake up, phone slid a little bit and it stopped charging at 83%! And it still won't charge with a case on it! I thought 3 coils was supposed to solve these problems? God this is like the worst qi charging device I ever had, nexus 5, nexus 4, and nexus 7 will charge on anything! Hell my nexus 7 will charge with a folio case! Someone tell me a charger to buy and I'll buy it!
[G4 Accessories] ExTREmE99:
interestingly, has anyone tried using this sticker on the starbucks PMA based chargers? for some odd reason, mine works, and works better than my Qi chargers at home. i was at starbucks grabbing a drink with a friend and while waiting for their drink, i put my phone down, literally telling my friend, "i wish starbucks used Qi, instead of PMA, then i could actually charge my phone." i set it down and to my amazement the Qi charging tone went off. I opened Ampere, and sure enough, it held a steady 650-700mA charge for the 10min that we sat there. i am using the newisdom "upgraded chip" sticker on my AT&T H810 and have lots of problems charging with all my Qi pads at home

here's a picture for proof:
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Any news on your front?

I'm getting a bit tired with NeWisdom.

I explained to them that I had 4 different chargers that used to charge the phone just perfectly, that I had tried my backplate with another G4, I sent them a video of my Nexus 7 charging perfectly on 2 of my chargers whilst my G4 wouldn't, explained that I had the "upgraded" version of it, all of it pointed to the sticker being defective.

And yet, they come back with this bull**** "try to put electric tape under the connectors because we think the issue is with the connection, and also make sure you use 5V/2A wall plug". Well fortunately I happen to have a 2A and even 2.4A available but really? 4 chargers used to work fine with the sticker, still work with my Nexus, sticker tested negative with another G4 and they still try to tell me it's not an issue with the sticker?

Damn, I paid for a "30 days guaranteed" product that failed after 10 days, and they won't just initiate a replacement...
[G4 Accessories] centran:
Sucks you are having so many problems and I understand you have tried those suggestions but I am just posting for others that those things are not BS... You need just a small bit of paper to push the connector up a bit. Also to my surprise the output of the charger is really important. I got a puck type charger and just used a micro-usb charger cord I already had plugged in. I think it was around 1A. The lights on the puck thing freaked out and started blinking like crazy like it was trying to charge but then wasn't. It wasn't charging. I must of messed with the thing and re-positioning the sticker connector for 10 minutes before I tried a different charger cord and it worked perfectly.
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Yes, if you're having issues from the very beginning indeed you want to check your positioning and/or raise the pins a little.

But my grief isn't with the product (not entirely), for it worked beautifully (and indeed with an impressive rate of charging) but rather with NeWisdom's attitude of not reading every details I provided and ask me for stupid tests and stuff.

If my sticker worked fine for almost 2 weeks, how can it be a problem of raising the connectors? If it worked with 4 differents chargers, at very good charging rates, and suddenly stopped working, how can it be a problem with the chargers' power output? That's ridiculous and plain disrespectful, especially considering that they mark their product as "30 days guaranteed or money back!"...
[G4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Was looking at this but they're a company that I will forever avoid apparently. I had an issue with my Yootech product and they sent a replacement within 30 mins of me sending them an email.
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Ended up ordering the Yootech one (http://www.amazon.com/Yootech®-Stan...sim_107_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1DZQHCPB0RM8A3BFQNXB)

For $8 I didn't want to wait for a replacement NeWisdom to ship from China and take 2 weeks.

It baffles me that when I reported my iTian 3 coils charger not working I got a replacement one without a word from the vendor, but for a cheap-o sticker those guys keep asking questions that don't need asking.
[G4 Accessories] KJW979:
Well they gave me the same answers, chip not defective because nfc was still working, try a different qi charger like the newisdom one they sell, make sure using a 2A plug, put tape under connections. Well tried all that up still not charging on the 2 qi's use at home but just received my car qi charger, Zeroedge, and it works 50% of the time. Also made sure tape was inder contacts and lined up properly but still works at times and not at others. I dunno.
[G4 Accessories] Unseeablething:
Upgraded chip from Newisdom has worked perfectly fine the last week and a half for me. Use the Anker QI charging puck. I don't have a bulge around the edge but I have a decent lip under my buttons. Going to try the slim version on my next case, and use thin double-sided adhesive foam to just the tips. Until something goes amiss, I'd still recommend newisdom.
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
NeWisdom finally agreed to send me a replacement. Wait and see....
[G4 Accessories] nib:
Purchased this about week ago, works perfectly with my Spigen charger.
[G4 Accessories] ExTREmE99:
has anyone else tried theirs on the starbucks PMA based pads yet??
[G4 Accessories] tsayin:
I thought the att version was pma, while all the others were qi?
[G4 Accessories] Charsher47:
Apparently it can do both? Qi works for me but the range of it seems to suck.
[G4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Nope AT&T is also Qi on LG G4, PMA was on LG G3.
[G4 Accessories] ExTREmE99:
ditto. qi works, but range is seriously horrible. for some reason the starbucks PMA pad gave me great range. i could put it down anywhere and it would pickup a charge. for qi, i have to realign it a few times
[G4 Accessories] Unseeablething:
Going to have to try this now. If G4 actually has both technologies built in, I'd hope they would advertise better. That's a pretty useful feature.
[G4 Accessories] Rakesh Gupta:
It looks like this won't work with H818N - Dual SIM.

Experts, please confirm ?
[G4 Accessories] ExTREmE99:
i honestly dunno if it's a fluke with the AT&T H810, but i can confirm that it works with the newsidom sticker for the AT&T version. i've tried it at 2 different starbucks now
[G4 Accessories] Montechristo:
It's correct, H818 Dual SIM has no qi.
[G4 Accessories] rawdikrik:
Mer, Seems that the Newisdom sticker I bought just kicked the bucket for no reason. Asked for a replacement through amazon and was told it would be here this week.

Before that, it worked wonderfully.
[G4 Accessories] AnteusFogg:
Waiting for mine. Got a sticker from Yootech and no luck. I'm starting to fear that the issue is with the phone... Fingers crossed...
[G4 Accessories] Contivity:
Got the upgraded chip NeWisdom qi sticker] and installed it last night. Didn't get the chance to try until today. 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:

Align and stick it to back of phone first with some weak tapes or blu tack then put the back cover on. The 3M would be strong enough to pull the other tape/blu tack off while maintaining proper alignment to the back cover.

Tip for people with magnetic air vent cell holder:

Put the metal plate between the battery and the back cover. The magnet will still bite and Qi and NFC wouldn't be blocked.
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
Posted on this on another forum, so am happy to see I'm not alone here. The newisdom lasted about a day them kicked bucket. Tylt vu light comes on as if thinks it's charging but phone no charge. Company only have one response so far typical positioning or phone protection against overheating. How many have tried yootech?
[G4 Accessories] orgwizard:
So 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] DjCalvin:
I have had both the NeWisdom Qi sticker and the Yootech sticker.

The NeWisdom one lasted 2 weeks of being on my Spigen Charger with a 2.1 amp charger at night.

qi charger light blinked rapidly and that was then end of the sticker... Tried electrical tape behind the connectors.. no luck.

The Yootech one lasted 2 days. I didn't see the qi charger freak out, I just woke up to a dead battery in the morning when my alarm didnt go off.

I am about to just buy the damn LG circle case and hack it up. Dealing with these companies is like pulling teeth..
[G4 Accessories] waylo:
I purchased the Quick-circle case for real cheap on eBay and cut off the front flap. Been working well for a month. My TPU case doesn't quite fit normally on the back, it's different in that the corners have a lip that come over from the back. Aside from that, charges fine.

Don't really know what the difference in quality is between the OEM sticker and these 3rd party ones.
[G4 Accessories] vtx67:
I too had my first upgraded sticker kick the bucket. Customer service was quick with a replacement. (didnt know they could do sunday delivery). My second sticker was intermittent until i took a pencil eraser to the gold contacts on the sticker to clean them up. Been flawless for about a month now on a good charger.
[G4 Accessories] Cor-master:
I gave up on wirelessly charging this phone. LG just screwed up not putting the antenna on every back. I still have the NeWisdom antenna installed but since I have to take my case off every time I charge and then pick up the phone and set it down several times to find a sweet spot, its too inconvenient to even bother with at this point. Hopefully LG will fix this issue with the G5!
