Back covers and QI wireless charging

[nigelhealy]

So I get my G4P tomorrow and my first accessories thoughts were on either placing a wireless charger under the supplied back cover, or adding a case and inserting QI between existing back plate and the case.

I prefer to cut out a little and place under existing back plate but then risk ruining the backplate.

back plates are available on ebay for under $8...cheap enough for experimentation, IMHO :highfive:

Why the back plates have like a removable sticker, same thing at the top of the battery which hides one screw and some gold contacts? are those for Wireless charging?

I think it's because of the UK variant, which has NFC. Wait, mine doesn't have that... (e_e)
Question: did you buy your phone in Paraguay, by any chance?

anyone find a Qi receiver for internal contacts?

It seems pretty clear to me that the two contacts hidden under a little black sticker, just below the camera and just above the battery (pictured in this post) , must be for a wireless charging receiver; and the outline on the inside of the back cover indicates where the thing should go.
Does anyone know where to purchase the appropriate charging receiver to connect to these internal contacts ... or even, what to search for??
(I don't want a USB wireless charging film... those are easy to find, but I would prefer to use these internal contacts).

Those are the contacts for the NFC chip in the XT1604 variant (I have one).

Ah, my mistake. Thanks, I appreciate the clarification.
