D850 qi charging mod

[Pilz]

I purchased a OEM back without any NFC or qi and a white OEM back with the NFC and qi. I'm going to remove it and make it work on the black one since I have a black G3. Both back covers will be here by Saturday so I will post pictures as I go. It may not be the cheapest or most effective way to get qi charging but it will get the job done. I just hate the ATT back with the death star on the back and I wanted to get a new one so I figured why not get qi as well.

(Pictures and walkthrough coming soon)
Let me know if anyone has suggestions or has tried this already.

I planned to do the same for my T-Mobile model. Hope this works out!

Where did you buy it? I just did a cursory search on Amazon with no luck. I'm looking for some way to get QI charging without having to go the AT&T powermat quicksilver case route (what the hell were they thinking going powermat).

 

[poczynek]

Yes I have done this. Ripped off the coil from the quick circle case and stuck unto my Korean back that didn't have wireless charging. Works great!

I purchased them both off ebay. It wasn't cheap as a I said 27.99 for the black back cover w/o nfc or qi ( I just hate the carrier logo) and $40 for the NFC/Qi back cover in white. Both are USA sellers which is good.
Here are the links

I'm glad, was it hard to remove? Any recommendations for when I take it apart?

I just ordered what I think is an OEM back from eBay and was planning on pulling the coil and putting in my AT&T back. How easy was it to pull? Did you have to heat it up? Any advice?

I'm a bit of a bull in the China shop and have no subtlety at all and it still worked out fine as the sticker sticks quite well. I used tweezers to remove it and then removed the one from the original with tweezers. Then stuck it on and it looks ok. Let me get a photo of the finished product and I'll post later.

That sounds good I'm sure there will be many people who will do this with the quick circle case.

Ok here's the finished product - the trickiest part was lining up with the phone itself so the charging works.

Thanks for the link!

I just ordered the white one. I'll have to rip it off and transplant it to my black at&t cover like poczynek did -__-

I was looking at the wireless charging thread. Anyone have a confirmed working QI charger for the G3 and amazon/ebay link to it? I'm looking for something I can attach to my magnetic car mount.

Get the ones that have three coils in them e.g. the Tylt Vu. They're more expensive but work well. I'd say the problematic ones are those with only one coil.

I think I'm going to try something similar to this DIY:

With a charger like this:

I'll have to do more research and make a post pending the success of this project lol.

This QI charger works, it's charging my european G3 right now. Very easy to position the phone right for it to pick up the correct spot.

No issues with the single coil? I'm looking forward to making this work, but qi chargers are hit and miss.

Nope, no issue at all. You need to position the phone at exactly the right spot, but as the charger is quite small is easy to find it. Then it charges with no interruption and tells you when it's full.

I will probably be doing exactly the same thing

Possible to buy something like a wireless receiver for LG G3, there are tons of them for Samsung S5,Note 3 etc. That would be easier no?

There are no options for that currently, so we are stick with what's available.

Would be nice if the seller didn't price gouge the sh*t out of it.

Edit: Also, how do you know it's qi charging?

 

[ervin10]

Did y'all pay the $140 for the oem white nfc+qi from the eBay seller.
