Bought an AT&T LG G3 and they opted to remove qi charging, really hope that they don't do it with the S6.

G3 had a removable battery cover, S6 does not and it would require a bit more hassle to remove it, why would they? People have already received their orders, someone will confirm.

That is true about the battery cover. I just wouldn't put it past AT&T to remove features that is all. I have no problem with them service wise just when it comes to buying phones on contract from them.

Check the forums, people who ordered from ATT and had chosen overnight shippong got theirs yeterday.
I have read the forums and double checked again before posting this but I don't see anywhere with people that have received their phone. Most like myself are seeing April 8th and some up to 27th. ?

I have only seen T-Mobile shipping. And as of this morning I had an att preorder in that was done one minute after they opened preorders. I don't think they are shipping. Could be wrong though.

My bad, you're right about TMo and not ATT.
Sorry to revive a dying thread. But I think it is enabled even on AT&T. I don't think best buy would give the wireless charger to AT&T pre-orders if it didn't.

Ok so i got my Lumia 920 via Bestbuy Mobile but it's an ATT phone.
As far as i know i'm still supposed to get the free charging plate ( i know it's on back order atm)
But I have yet to get any confirmation as to if I'm getting a plate or not.... any ideas? I've been through customer support multiple times with limited success, they either don't speak English or don't have any clue about the promotion (its on ATT's 920 page in huge red letters -___-)
I had to called AT&T after I got my phone to place an order for the free charging plate, I never got any confirmation and 2 weeks later it just showed up.

So you just called ATT tech support and told them you bought a Nokia Lumia 920 from bestbuy mobile and you never got your charging plate? I've already called a few times but att said i have to go through bestbuy and bestbuy doesn't know anything about the promo

You request it directly through Nokia, but you have to wait 2 weeks for your IMEI to show up in their system (so they can be sure you don't take the phone back).

Bestbuy didn't say anything, they thought i had to go through ATT. Im going to bug ATT again today and ask for a free one if i give them the info for the phone(i still have the box and all that). I don't want to buy a 40 dollar charger im supposed to get for free :|
i think people who ended up buying from best buy had to force them to match the ATT offer to get it, ATT won't honor it unless you buy it from them iirc.
ATT was so confused about their own offer when they launched the phone though that i ended up with 2 free plates instead of one.
go poor planning!

well i got it via best buy mobile... so technically it's still through ATT, came with the ATT sim and ATT box and such. I don't see why it's so hard to get the damn order placed... i have the phone, i have the recipe, i have all the numbers corresponding to the phone.
ATT is still confused about the wireless charger offer. I spent 50min on the phone 2 days ago and they claim they couldn't order the yellow at all, so I had to order the black charger. To my surprise, it shipped same day and I received it within 24hrs. What sucks is they won't let me cancel my other order for a red one as I'm tired of waiting. I doubt it will ship this year which im getting more annoyed by the day.

I just got my charger plate today. I ordered red, but they sent me a black one along with a note stating:
"Thank you for your purchase of the Nokia Lumia 920. Please find your FREE wireless charging plate enclosed. Regrettably, due to the popularity of the Lumia 920 and inventory constraints this Holiday season, we are unable to fulfill your choice of color for the charging plate. We wanted to ensure that you got to enjoy all the great benefits of wireless charging before the Holidays."
I ordered back almost 1 month ago too.
Got mine today it was black too, have a red phone no big deal though, just glad I got one for free

I got my Lumia 920 and was told to re-order the wireless charger for free 15 days after the day I purchased on November 15, 2012. I called the ATT customer service on Dec 17. They told me that the wireless charger is not free and it is sold at 49 dollars. I was confused and the customer service told me that my account indicated 49 dollars to be charged for this wireless charger. Therefore, I just told them to cancel this order and credit this amount back to my account.
Mine came in black too with an apology letter, but I actually prefer the black charger

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..

Verizon was the only one in the US to give the G2 wireless charging so it's not unprecedented.
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.
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.
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.
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?

I think the backplate that comes with it has it build in already and we dont have to get anything but the charger
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 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.

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.
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?
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.
It has wireless charging but you need to buy the circle case to utilize it.
So I have an extra qi sticker I bought off ebay...accidentally bought 2. Anyone want to buy it? 25 bucks shipped to you (same as I paid). Shoot me a PM if interested.

Has anyone yet purchased the Verizon LG V10? Im about to take the leap and just do it, but was hoping someone here has already.
I'm obviously concerned it will be locked down tight and root will be impossible, like so many other Verizon devices. I'm coming from Nexus devices, so this is going to be a large change for me if I do actually do it.
I will get it once bestbuy has them in stock 11/6

I'm curious about this too.
I took the plunge on the Note 5, thinking I could live without root. I hated it. Gave it to my wife and am using her old phone while I wait.
The V10 would be my choice if root is possible, I don't care about the bootloader. If not I'll go Nexus. I need to decide before I miss out on the 200gb sd card promotion.
I got mine yesterday and it's alot different than my note 3. If there's no root I will definitely get rid of it. I really like everything about it except at the bottom where the lg logo is. I wished they would have used it somehow for the home buttons. The power and volume controls are gonna take a while to get used to them. Overall if I have root, I will love it.

I'm waiting till the 15th when I can get with monthly payments and just catch the LG promo on it's last day. Praying to hear some root/bootloader news for something other than a tmobile device by that time.

The biggest issue I have with this statement, while not untrue, is that the S7 have quick wireless charging. I personally would not trust this feature to third parties yet, especially not "dirt cheap". Regular wireless? Sure, pretty common feature. But, quick wireless. Gonna have to splurge for the $50.00 Samsung pad
The free one isn't the quick charging pad anyway
