i thought only me have this problem.
im using official LG G3 charger WCD-100, while charging the G3, sometimes charging stop for a second and continue. happen so often. the wireless charging notification annoy me, not sure if charging with random disconnect will make the battery life cycle worse
when charging my nexus 5 with the same wireless chager, the charging went smooth, no disconnect happen

i check the back cover and clean the pin, nothing changes, still got random disconnect

Thought I'd share a tip has helped me as I too experienced difficulties with the G3 wireless charging - I should note I'm in the UK, so I guess that makes me 'international'?!

I originally purchased an "Expower Qi Wireless mini Phone Charger", plugged it into an old Blackberry USB wall charger and saw the problems others have described:

• Place in center of hot zone error
• 'Wireless charging' message randomly appearing

Unimpressed, I returned it figuring that it was the 'puck' shape was just a bit too small and delicate for the phone (also it was difficult to see the status LEDs). I didn't give up on wireless charging, purchased a larger RAVPower RP-WCN11 unit. Unfortunately the same error messages appeared.

However the RAVPower unit was supplied with it's own wall socket, I took a look at it's rating - 1.5A. To my chagrin, the Blackberry USB charger I was using is only rated at 750mA.

After swapping the wall sockets over the problem was immediately fixed. I still have to be somewhat careful with placement, but the connection is reliable and it seems to work great. One caveat is it still won't work through the Spigen case, so not quite perfect and something worth considering if you are thinking of owning a case that's difficult to remove.

It makes sense to me, the strength of a magnetic field is dependant upon the current in the wire. If the charger wants 1.5 A, give it 1.5 A! So remember not to skip on the wall socket too. I think this also means it's not going to be suitable for plugging into laptops etc, I think for most they'll struggle to get 500mA (depending on how many devices are on the bus)
