I just bought an OEM Verizon Qi charging phone back, and two different Qi chargers. All sourced from Amazon, and listed as their best sellers.
Neither would connect to the phone and provide wireless charging. I am RMA-ing the new phone back to rule it out.
Could being on a custom ROM be interfering? I am on SkyDragon 4.0. I don't want to bother the dev on it, if it is a hardware problem.
Anyone else have a similar configuration that worked?

as far as i know, there is no "oem" charging backs available. you can buy an aftermarket sticker to make it work though.
anyways, the sticker should have 4 contact points, not 2. if you have that, the only way to properly verify its working is to put stock back on.
yes, it should work on SD, but to rma a device, without verifying the issue on the clean stock it was intended to run on is just not smart.
Yep, my back has four contacts, to match the internal contacts on teh phone.
it is branded LG and "Verizon 4G LTE", same as my original, hence why I referred to it as OEM.
I believe they made them standard for sale in Rest of World and optional for the US.
It is hard for me to believe that the charging on those two pins would be disabled in software, but considering the ridiculousness of US carriers, I put nothing past them. Which is why I wanted to know if anyone had one that worked.
I didn't RMA the phone, just the 4-pin optional Qi charging back plate. To call someone "not smart," when you clearly have no grasp of the facts...that's not smart.
I do know from experience that AOSP roms do break wireless charging, but SkyDragon is based off of stock, so it should work just fine.

i can only comment on what you post, and dont pretend to understand what you mean while vaguely explaining it.
what i perceive from your post appeared to be "not smart", and thats how i called it.
now that you have clarified, even returning the back plate before verifying the issue on clean stock, is not smart, but hey, its your time and money to do with as you wish.
good luck with that
Have you checked the other threads on this already?
There are only a few places to get the parts that enable wireless charging on the G3. As far as I know, the only official OEM part that verizon sells is the flip case. Any others are either the Sticker type, or an OEM part imported from europe, to get the correct 4 pin option, (Both at&t and korean variant parts will not work, as the 4 pins do not align correctly for the verizon phone.) and neither would have the verizon logo on it, unless it was an aftermarket mod from a third party, and I'd be a bit weary of those, personally. So I'm a little confused on the 4 pin, verizon logo part of your message. Still, if it is a correctly modified original part, with an aftermarket sticker attached on it, it should work on stock, and on most roms based of stock, like SD's ROM.

Bought one from Amazon last week from a US seller who unfortunately doesn't seem to be listed anymore (sold out?). Back was OEM with only the LG logo, and had the Qi+NFC pins in the correct place for the VS985 (the AT&T/Asian models had their pins aligned slightly differently).
Works with my Qi charger fine, and I too am running SD 4.0, as I value battery life.

I have actually used quite a few AOSP roms and they seemed to have fixed it. I've been using PA for about 3 months now and its been working this whole time. Also on my wife's G3 CM12's wireless charging works for her. Just thought i would let you know in case you wanted to try it out again. I'm using some cheap wireless sticker from amazon and all is working on both of our phones
EDIT: This is what i purchased http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Antenna-Sticker-T-mobile/dp/B00MWS5L34/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1445349009&sr=1-2&keywords=lg+g3+qi+wireless+charging+sticker
Thanks for those constructive posts. Good to know that any issues I may be having are likely hardware. That points me in a good direction.
I should be receiving the replacement back today, so I can see if the problem is my phone core or the accessories.
Yeah, it's weird that the phone back would have Verizon branding, especially if it isn't their part. I can't see an advantage to doing that. The silkscreen looks identical to the OEM back that shipped with the phone.
EDIT: Ah ha! Now I understand what happened. This is the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL9GWPY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01 I sort of blindly purchased, since it had a good rating. I now see that the seller has taken OEM backs and retrofitted them with a sticker! it's the same deal that you can do for six bucks, and not OEM. So, I am a stooge because I didn't read the fine print.
Amazon is not the place for popular items.

"Best sellers" on Amazon sometimes means "lots of victims".
A couple weeks ago I also search for a genuine LG/Verizon charging back, so that I wouldn't have to mess with a "stick-on" solution. While the items looked promising at first blush, a little research showed that there is no such device as a "genuine LG/Verizon charging back", despite what is obviously marked as such. The genuine charging back from Verizon is a clamshell-like cover, that apparently doesn't fit well with the usual belt clips. Life is like that.
Sadly, Amazon has become a haven for scammers offering counterfeit products of all types. A few months ago, I wanted to buy a power adapter for my Samsung tablet. The price on Samsung's site was $35; the price from all of the vendors on Amazon was $10, for devices clearly marked with the Samsung logo. However, reading the reviews showed that they were all cheap counterfeits that often failed in a month or two.
I have come to the point of only buying stuff on Amazon, that Amazon buys directly from the manufacturer. Ie, "sold by and ships from Amazon", not "sold by <whomever> and ships from Amazon".
As they say, "buyer beware".

Okay, now you do (grin).
Thanks, Dean. You're absolutely right.
I received the second replacement "wireless charging & NFC" cover, last night. Still doesn't work on my phone. But, it looks like a new Verizon cover, just one that had some yahoo replace the original NFC antenna with a cheap knockoff that purportedly would charge.
Ah, well, I got a new, unscratched G3 phone back plate and learned a lesson.

I want to try again, but my phone was just replaced by VZW, and it has 35B. I'm treading lightly on the recovery/rooting until I do enough research to be confident in my next attempt. I REALLY miss CM.
I have the original back cover and the only way that the qi charger works when I raise up the pad...

I am not quite sure as to the variation of included accessories from carrier to carrier but this is a question to at least the Tilt 2 owners and anyone else who's Touch Pro 2 came with that handy charger which has on one end a small block housinga flip up wall plug and on the other a female USB connection, this came with an USB to mini USB cable. The reason I ask is that after purchasing mine in February the mini end to the cable has completely come apart. It actually started within weeks of getting the phone. When I saw what was happening I wrapped it with some splice tape thinking it would be fine, but nope. The end fell out the other day and I was shocked to find that the small metal end was seated into the decidedly softer plastic plug in no more than maybe 1/32". How is something that is the junction for a lot of force anytime one moves the phone supposed to last with this kind of construction. AT&T says they warranty everything in the box? Nope. They will give you a wall charger that they retail for $29 as opposed to sending you the cable which retails for $10 less. My suspicion is that they are well aware of the fragile nature of this cable and so would rather you have something less likely to need replacement, at least while one is still under warranty. So I was curious if others have experienced this and if so, what did you do? Is there something to replace it with that is built better? OEM or not, I would love to know. I won't even go into what HTC said, but lets just say they are of a split mind on what to do.
I don't understand when you say that part is under a lot of force. I just don't see this with normal use.
Cords in general are not known for being durable, and prone to failure. But I agree that failure after 3 months is ridiculous. I've had mine since October, and it works fine. I also have the original cable for the old Tilt, which is 2-1/2 years old now, and well as the old charger (cord is not detachable). Admittedly, I probably don't use the newer USB cable as much as others, since I have these old accessories, which are still used with my Tilt2.
It sounds like ATT is willing to give you a new charger (with non-detachable cable), but not a new cable? That does seem odd. If you need a new cord, get one from Amazon or similar, it cost about $3.50 shipped.

im in the same boat as OP. Althought his seems to have lasted longer, LOL. Mine started to pull away from the usb b type end after the second week of having the device. Lucky for me i had some electrical tape and as soon as i noticed it i wraped it up good. I also have pleanty of usb to usb b cords laying arround seeing as i own a ps3 also. If you have any you can just use them they fit quite well and work fine.

What I mean by force is imagine that point where the mini usb meets the phone as a lever point. So when the phone moves at all, you go to pick it up you bump it,what have you, that is where all of the stress forces will be at play. Considering that point is just a tiny piece of metal and plastic that is only inset about 1/32" what can you expect. The new versions have been redesigned, si I am sure they know. I am also pretty sure this is why neither HTC nor AT&T will carry them in their warranty department. In fact, AT& T doesn't deal with Tilt 2's at all at their service centers. Funny that HTC passed Apple in sales this quarter but might have forgotten Apples hard learned lesson that they received when it was realized that the iPod's battery could not be replaced. The Phones are great, the accessories they by from someone else ordinarily so they are hit and miss
And yeah 1 L0v3 my HtC, I just learned that any mini USB will do. I thought that the ends were proprietary and so the would be hard to find but the different shape fits afterall which is what I am using now.
I have never used mine. I've used my old Motorola charger from day one.

Yep, that's what I figured you meant. Just doesn't seem like much force to me at all. Sure, cables have a stress point right at the plug, and that is where almost all cables go bad eventually. But if your device is just sitting there, plugged in, I don't see how much stress is being applied to it, even if you bump it.

I empathize with the OP. I have thrown away a number of older cables due to short circuits at that junction. It no so bad, unless it shorts out during a flash... :eek At any rate, I now wiggle them before initiating a flash. I also bought new cables with the HTC connector and no longer use mini usb.
I have a number of 'antique' cables and chargers from my 6800 days and a number of newer ones. All are working just fine.
Hello everyone. So I finally got my HTC Flyer and...the charging port is defective. I am beyond angry right now. I bought this off of eBay and currently am in the process of sending this unit back to the seller. (Well I messaged the seller about it). The bad thing is...I live outside of the US and paid extra to have this forwarded to me. Therefore I have to pay to forward this back to the US (this is where it's really pricey). :/ I am soo bombed right now. I do not want to try to fix this by buying the replacement part because that's expensive and I shouldn't have to do so since I now got this tablet. When I got the device (today) I noticed that the bottom of the device looked as though someone (previous owner) tried to open it. I ignored it though as everything else looked fine. Now I realized why it was like that.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I am writing to find out if all HTC Flyers eventually have this problem. I do not want to get another one to find out the same problem exists. *sigh* I am so saddened by this because even if I do get an exchange, I am losing out with the shipping costs (fee to send device back to the US and then other device back to me) and my money is already low. Any advice on dealing with the situation would be appreciated.
Happened to my View. Probably the charging port connector chip got pushed back. If you are willing to open it (which is pretty simple 4 torx screws) all you have to do is pop the charge port chip back in. Test it. If its good put it together.
If not wait for other people advice about repair from HTC .
I called HTC. They said it would cost me about $290 or something. I can't remember exactly but but it was expensive (more than I even paid for the thing so that made no sense at all). They said that piece was attached to the motherboard so that's why it was that costly. I don't think that's even true since i saw the part selling for like $35. The eBay seller has a 30 day warranty so I'm going to use that to get my money back.
With my time with the Flyer, I really liked it a lot! the device feels strong and its really responsive. I want to get another one but I'm afraid the pins break on the other one too. I can't keep losing money on these shipping costs. Tbh, I'm surprised these devices would have such a flaw since they were at one point more costly than an iPad. I figured HTC was better than that.
@j510. The last pin of the charging port completely broke so that option is out. Its like 60% charged and I'm resisting using it because I can't charge it after it's dead. I love this thing ao much though. I want to explore it but I can't.
To anyone, is this a common fault of the device? It seems as though it is (from reading past forums). If it is, I may have to pass on this type of device which truly is sad since I bought it particularly for the pen functionality which few tablets have.
Uh...anyone? I'm sure this issue of defective charging ports has affected many.
I have a flyer and it's about a year old, got it at Best Buy. I have never had a problem with the charging port. Maybe someone put it in backwards when trying to charge the tab.

I tried the same USB cable that works with my Samsung phone. It did work (but I had to wiggle it a lot to get any charge). However, that was when the bent pin was there. It completely broke off so I am sure it's not the cable that's preventing the Flyer to charge. The seller is offering a full refund. I am only mad because of the shipping costs I have to pay and the time required to return the item.

Moving to Q&A
I know wireless charging is possible via the Touchstone method if I'm not mistaken, but if I recall, you're stuck with using that and only that. Is there a way to hack in wireless charging on the Note 2 with any charging pad such as that Fatboy pillow or the Nokia pads or anything with the Qi standard?
Also, can someone take a picture of the location of the wireless pins on the phone. I hear they're covered, and I just would like to see the back of the device.
Thanks in advance!
I am wondering the same thing. This is the first video I have seen which at least means we dont have to replace the usb charging board. You can see where he solders the leads. He says its a Qi back in the comments.

No, you wouldn't be stuck with charging only through the touchstone. I did this mod on my galaxy nexus and didn't have that limitation. I love the touchstone and I'm looking to find confirmation that someone has done this mod on the Verizon Note2...I see info about all the other versions but not this one. I'm assuming it's going to be similar to the Sprint version mod but don't know for sure. Please, if anyone has info on this mod for the Verizon Note2, respond.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Well I'm intrigued. I own the Verizon note 2, 2 HP touchpads, and 4 touchstone chargers. I love being able to drop the touchpad into the wireless charger and letting it go. To have this functionality with the note 2 would be to cool. I also have a fair amount of electronics knowledge. I'm pretty certain that once retrofitted, a device set up for wireless charging would work with any wireless charger as the principals of charging are all the same as I understand it.
One question that comes to mind.. is there really any difference in the make up of the note 2 circuit board between providers other than maybe the radio circuitry? If not then there isn't any reason why the mod shown in the video shouldn't work. Over the next couple of days I'll check into this and report my findings.
Anyone thinking about getting this?

So I ended up buying the Qi charger on ebay along with a new chassis back (it was for the GSM variant) with the intentions of swapping backs and then having the holes to put the qi charger through. After MUCH hacking of the back, it worked, however I lost GPS, and 4G LTE. The chassis is just too different to work correctly.
I then put the Verizon chassis back, back on and used some copper tape to get the contacts to touch without the holes. Everything worked properly, but still no GPS or LTE.
I took it apart thinking I broke maybe one of the pins that use the chassis back as the antenna -still nothing. So moral of the story, don't take the chassis back off or the phone will be half of one. Its been about 4 days and going to various places in SF to see if LTE would come back on, but no dice.
Going to return this phone since its now broke (still 30 days) and next I will try and use the copper tape to put behind the actual battery contacts and NOT open the case at all.
Really wish VZ didn't take away this capability, as I already invested in the wireless charging stuff for my HTC Thunderbolt. Have a S3 and that works perfectly fine since the holes/pins are there.

You must have damaged something. You can take the back off without destroying anything - in fact you have to when you first get the phone since the battery doesn't come preinstalled.
Edit: never mind, didn't misread your post. But people have removed the chassis too - you still must have damaged it somehow.

Ya I must have, everything looked fine, but ya, something happened and I couldn't get it to get back to 4G. Went back to Verizon today and got a new one. I want to try and see if I can just hook directly to the battery terminals... need to get my ohm meter out.
I did it to mine took about a hour be careful and gentle minimum force is needed follow the YouTube video and use the proper tools

Hello all,
The microUSB port on my Rezound has recently taken to working only at certain angles, so if I'm not paying attention when I plug it in, it sometimes doesn't charge properly. For that reason I started looking to buy the inductive charging plate, but it appears to be out of stock everywhere! Does anyone know of a place that might still be selling them, and/or would someone who has one be willing to sell it to me?
Thanks for any leads!

My bad! It is in stock at the Verizon online store. What threw me off was that it's not listed in the Rezound's accessories page for some reason.
Where you able to find the base charger anywhere? That's what I'm looking for now.

I believe any Qi supporting charging mat should work with it, the one test I saw used this one and it's Qi I believe - http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-WCP-700
Correct, any standard Qi charger should work. The one I bought is the Nokia DT-900 wireless charging plate, which has worked perfectly for me and is generally less expensive than the LG plate that Verizon officially endorses for the Rezound.
Any one try this with a custom ROM and kernel? I mean it should work, just wondering if it didn't. Thinking of getting one, but don't want to buy if I cannot use AOSP ROMs.

I have had my G3 for two weeks now and am very happy with it. I dumped my Droid 3, so as you can imagine, it's a huge leap in technology and power to go from the Droid 3 to a G3. I decided I wanted to start doing wireless charging as I saw several others in other forums talking about their shells getting cracked or damaged from excessive force needed to insert the usb cable to charge the phone. It does seem like it could eventually lead to some heavy wear and tear.
So I did some research and a lot of reading, and purchased the following charger and back cover and I can't get wireless charging to work at all. The reviews on the charger appear to be very positive and according to the description on EBAY, the back cover will work on the Verizon G3. The pins appear to line up correctly and I have tried moving the phone all over the mat but no luck. Could one of the apps I have frozen in Titanium Backup be preventing this from working? I basically only froze the crapware stuff. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be configured? I have an email out to the EBAY person I bought the cover from but have not gotten a response yet. Ideas? Suggestions?

Does your new cover have 4 pins space correctly? I know in the past, some vendors from ebay were sending out only the NFC cases on accident and calling them Qi covers.
The charger you got is a knock off of the TYLT charger, so it could possibly be something with that charger too. If you have a Verizon store near by, Id go down and see if they ahve any Qi chargers setup. Each one I have gone into always had at least one so I could test if my things were working.
The new back cover definitely has 4 pins and from the best I can tell, they match up. I will definitely try your Verizon store idea when i can find a store.
