Or you guys could just buy the T-Mobile version and get a back with wireless charging... or better yet just by the sticker that has been going around for T-Mobile G3s.
That's not a practical solution for most people. Hopefully there will be some form of a solution for everyone else.
I know... but AT&T screwed us over already by insisting that the G3s they carry are only compatible with the PMA standard. At this point, there really is no practical solution.
Hey guys,
Would it be possible to replace the PMA hardware with the Qi hardware from another phone? Just asking a question, pretty new to all this.
OR
Would it be better to buy the T-mobile variant and unlock it for the Qi and would you get 4g LTE?

So say i have a d850. But my back plate is one that supports qi like a T-Mobile back plate. That won't work?

I paid 4.99 for a T-Mobile backplate with nfc for my d850 from eBay.
I see there are now a couple of PMA + NFC stickers to replace the NFC only sticker on the back cover of the AT&T G3 listed on Amazon.
Has anyone tried these? They are around $19 - $23. A new back with the stickers already installed is $39.95.
My only concern would be the bulge factor. I've seen the posts of people taking the stickers off the LG circle case for the D850 and put them onto the stock back and there was a bulge from the metal disk. I can buy one of the PMA + NFC stickers for around $20 and the Powermat charging cradle for about $10. So for $30 I could have wireless charging. I just don't want the back to bulge.

I don't think he's intending to sell them.
If you look at this other item (same seller), you'll see it's only $40 but he's removed D850 from the title, since that model is only compatible with PMA:
