I had two chinese W.C that worked pretty well with my old nexus 5 now with my new G3 i can't make them work properly...both of them start charging for 10'' then they stop and they starting again and this is happening all the time...
I dissasemply one and put the grid right above my G3 back cover and its doing the same...
why they aren't compatible with my G3??they are low on power?or simply aren't compatible with my G3??thanks!

Just watch a review about the original LG wireless charger...with 1-Amp it does that same thing but when using G3 own 1.8-amp charger, it works fine. So it just seems to get too less power...

This is the one I have...1500mah it corny say anything about amp btw
1500 mah is the same as 1.5 Amp. That's referring to the power of the charger you connect it to. If you connect that charging puck to a 1 amp (1000 ma) charger, or less, it will do what you describe.

Also try different USB cables. I've found some cables just don't transfer enough power, and cause the same problem.

So is the trick here just to use the charging cable and AC adapter that came with the G3?

The Powerbot charging station I got works fine under any condition with my Nexus 7, but I get the above described error with my G3. I tried different cable and AC adapter combinations to no avail (not sure if I tried my LG cable with adapter on this one). Plugged into my work computer with one of the USB cables that came with it, it worked fine. For one day. The next day, it kept giving me problems again so not sure if it’s just the phone, some annoyingly precise placement, or just the charger itself (again, no problems with the Nexus 7).

I just received the ChoeTech wireless 3-coil wireless charger today. With the included cable plugged into my work computer, it was giving me problems. With the short cable that came with the Powerbot, my phone is now charging.

This off and on is kind of a headache.
