I bought one from an AT&T store. It works, but with some caveats. It power cycles several times when docked, before charging. I'm giving it a couple of days use before I make a decision on returning it or not.

What do you mean by power cycle? The phone? If it's the charger, what does that entail?
Also, are we talking about the official Nokia wireless charging plate here?

Found this piece, I'm pretty sure this is what you're talking about:

In testing the Nexus 4 this week on Nokia's DT-900 Qi charging pad (the one that AT&T has been throwing in for free with purchases of the Lumia 920), our results weren't promising: the Nexus would connect, disconnect, reconnect, and disconnect once again from the charger, ad nauseam, making the "charger connected" notification sound each and every time. The charging light on the pad, meanwhile, flashed on and off in rhythm with the connections annunciated by the phone. It didn't matter how the Nexus was positioned on the pad (Qi advertises a large, forgiving charging surface as one of its benefits, coincidentally) — the two simply wouldn't work together consistently enough to get the phone charged. The pad works normally with two Lumia 920s I've tested.

Yes, though it at least for me stops, after a few cycles. The more I use it though, the fussier it seems to get....
Used my friends at work. It cycled the first time then settled. Second time phone went psycho like it was being touched but wasn't. My clock widget on lock screen would highlight, shrink, then back to normal. The third time it acted like it was fine but started cycling about a minute in.

Mine doesn't do that, it starts charging without issue when I set it down on the Nokia Plate, and the plate's light stays solidly lit until it's charged.

I bought one yesterday. It doesn't work very well at all. It flips in and out of charge depending on where you place the phone. Other times the phone will slide off the charger. I've done the micro fiber cloth of the charger to stop the slide and it will charge however it seems that it is still hit or miss. Some times if the phone is higher than 70% it will say that it's charging but the battery % never goes up.
My advice for something that costs $50 should work properly, you shouldn't have to add cloths or rubber pads to it. So i've sold mine and will wait for a proper charger designed for the nexus 4 and i'd advice everyone else to do the same.

That's weird, after 3 or 4 "charging, not charging" messages, it settles down and charges fine for me, I guess right now it's just the luck of the draw, that and these wireless charging standards boards still haven't quite got things perfect yet.

I ordered one, it says it should ship out by Sunday. The first thing I plan on doing is seeing if it works with my Lumia 920, well, my Nexus 4 too of course
Here you go guys. Just got the orb today. Works perfectly with the Nexus 4 and Lumia 920. The orb has a sticky back, like those GPS dash covers but it also has magnets. The Lumia and Nexus work in portrait and landscape modes without slipping.

Charges the Lumia pretty quickly, went up a few (~3-4) in the 10 minutes I had it on there. The manual says it outputs at 1000mA, which is kinda awesome.

I don't think so, the xoom is too heavy to be held from the charger? in fact the whole charging system is a big flaw in this tablet, I am very disappointed.
Yep. Loose charger here too.

Very disappointed they couldn't do a charge over USB. I was reading that the reason they can't charge over the USB port is that the batteries are so big and draw so much power to charge that the micro USB wouldn't be able to offer the throughput to charge it up fast enough.
Not sure how much I buy that, but at any rate they could've come up with a charging port combo that doesn't look like it came from a Nokia I bought 10 years ago lol.
Well it seems that the charger port and piece are affecting a few of you guys. But mine is good. No problem here. But that said, I was still pretty disappointed I couldn't use the same port as the phone.

I was upset about this at first as well but then again with essentially a 10 hour non stop usage time I will never have the charger in while using it. I also think it adds incentive to buy the Standard dock which at $39.99 isnt exactly terrible.
But still...why the dinky little charger?!
Yeah same problem here, I hate the charging system here.

I agree. It reminds me of a phone I had years ago.
I agree, but 10 hour battery life and 100% charge in about an hour? It's a fair trade off. I agree, though, that the attachment is tiny (wouldn't say "loose," though). Better than a dock port connector, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust. Meh.
The charger on mine is horrible.
I was sketchy at best brand new, a month in and it doesn't work at all.
At first I had to fiddle with it, get the xoom at just the right angle etc to get it to charge. Now it doesn't make contact at all. I didn't return it right away because I heard some of the issues, but figured it did work just not well.
Once it crapped out completely it was past my 30 return window.
I ended up buying the charging dock. This works fine and the "road charger' that came with it works fine (so far) as well. I am thinking of just throwing in my gimpy charger in the box and returning the dock as it is pretty over priced and i feel a bit miffed that i had to pan an additional $50 just to charge my xoom.
Hi!
I've just received the Q9 Wireless Charger from a manufacturer in china.
It's Qi-compatible and have been seen working with the Nexus 4.
Mine does not seem to work.
The manual says a led should be shining green when it's ready to charge or when it's charging. It's hard to read the chinese translated manual.
Mine just shines red and blue constantly and nothing is happening with the phone.
Am i doing something wrong? Do i have to activate it in my phone? I've tried putting it in any direction in any place on the pad.
Someone have a clue?
EDIT:

I have the Energizer Qi charger and when I place the phone on the charging plate, a light over the plate shines a steady blue until charging is complete. Flashing multiple colors (especially if one of them is red) probably means there is a problem with the charging system or the power.

That's what i'm afraid of. The thing is that the leads shows blue and red all the time, even when the phone's of the pad. Updating with a picture.

Is the power cord connected securely? Maybe it's not pushed in completely (or shouldn't be pushed in so far).
For what it's worth that's not the Qi symbol on the charge plate.
If possible, send it back for replacement. It seems to me that those two LEDs should light up for no more hen a few seconds after the device is plugged in and then turn off until they nerd to indicate some condition like charge complete or error.

I have the Q9 charger for couple of days.
It's takes many tries of locating Nexus 4 on chargers surface to make it work.
Many times (most of my tries) I unable to make it work at all.
I am wary disappointed with this charger. It was waist of many.
I shouldn't have to be such cheapskate.
Q9 Qi-charger broken
I had mine for about a week now. Used it with my Nexus 4. Charges the Nexus quickly, but when at 100% it stops charging. Only when unplugging charger and re-plugging it, it will charge again. One morning Nexus was at 77% while laying on charger. After a few times unplugging, the connector was pushed into the charger leaving it useless. Do not buy!
Just got one too
I have to place my Nexus towards the top of the charger for it to activate and start charging.
Took me a while to find the correct placement.
My pad is supposed to flash blue when its charging - It starts charging and then seems to stop, then start again, then stop - not sure if this is normal or not.
So far i'm pretty disappointed with it, I assume because I got a cheapy from china that this isn't the normal experience with QI chargers, but I doubt I will be buying another until I see someone else with a much better model.

Totally subjective. I generally only toss the phone on a charger twice a day...to me it's not a big deal to have to move the cover two times.

Well, you have 3 options.
1) remove them through the screw
2) pull it forcefully, if you're really annoyed and mad at it
3) use a wireless charging kit
#3 will be much better in your case because you don't know when you will really need something. It's much better to have it and not use it than not to have it and need it.
does S5 have wireless capability?
Do what I do then. I got myself a wireless charger. It is comparatively slow to charge compared to wired charging. So, for any topping off charging, or when I have time, I put it on wireless charger. This reduces my need to open port less than once a week.

Depends a lot on the person's usage pattern too. Assuming same build quality on all phones, a person with delicate handling will take his longer than the one with rough handling. I've seen people yank the charging cables off the phones and crying when it breaks.

that's would be ****ing annoying as hell. Samsung bought an unnecessary step when charging. I charge my phone multiple times a day because I have a habit of charging when I'm at the desk because charging prevents the screen from going off and I prefer to have the phone screen on all the time because I use it as a calendar, reminder and a timer when I'm working.
That's why S5 sucks balls.
I'm waiting for the Note 4, hopefully it will not have any covers.

I have been wondering the same thing. I certainly won't get one unless it has Qi charging. I am assuming they will release a wireless back cover again.

I don't want to buy another back or another "sticker". How is it other models have it built in and this, their "latest" version doesn't? This is truly a step backward in the Note series. Huawei's devices are looking very nice right now.

No. They are two separate things... a given Qi charger only puts out a limited amount of power.
Do the Huawei phones have wireless charging? After you mentioned Huawei I checked out some of their best devices but couldn't see any wireless charging options.
If it is wireless charging, does it mean it will have a magnetic back? I need that so I can stick it to my car CD slot caddy.

^^What he said^^ and theres no way any wireless charger can do that, also given my experience with the LG G3 I am not ruling out damage to the battery or device due to overheating whilst wireless charging, my battery life on G3 perished after such time as I started using wireless charger.
I may be wrong, however, its fairly coincidental.
On a related note the pins are definitely there for wireless charging but no coil as far as I can tell.
Note 4 DOES support wireless charging with the correct door and or cheap coil which im sure will be available soon.
Glad to hear that it supports Qi charging (with add on). Since going wireless on my Note 3 I'll never plug my phone in again.
I'm pretty sure the reason the Note wasn't certified dust and water-resistant is the large long opening in it to accommodate the S-Pen.

I don't see why Samsung or any smartphone company hasn't started using the vapor/nano-coat waterproofing. It wouldn't matter how big any hole is. See HzO, P2i and others.
The day I get my Note 4 I'm sending it in to get 'vaporized'. Only ~50 bucks, totally worth it for a $1000 device that fits in your pocket.
Idk why Samsung doesn't include the wireless charging back to begin with. That way all the cases would still fit it. It's irritating to say the least.

Because then they couldnt charge you the $40 for a new back.

I'm not a fan of fast charging due to this issue. I've seen it happen on other devices as well. Batteries are not meant to charge at such rates. I'd rather have a slower charge personally
This is why whenever I charge my phone, I keep the AC/Cooler/fan on of that room, keeps the phone temp low and helps in faster charging.
Whut? This is actually very concerning....is this a usb type c problem you think? Or does this happen with other phones too?
You should report this to LG
This needs more media attention. I don't think anyone has zeroed in on what's causing it yet. This could happen to all of us for all I know.

I use a USB-A to Type C cable with a Samsung 2.0A charger for overnight. Just cause I don't need to fast charge while I'm sleeping.

Same thing happened to my LG nexus 5x. The phone works but does not charge anymore. Very bad as LG claims that it is out of warranty due to customer usage. Really bad!!

Speaking generally, this almost always has happened, for years, to people who pull the cord by the wire, not by the plug. My wife is terrible about this and she goes through 3-4 cords to my one.
Anyway, that may not fully explajn this problem, bug it'll sure makd it more likely.
Well. I just googled and I found this article. My nexus 5x just burned yesterday and the worst was that everything was wood, even the floors. It almost started a fire at my home yesterday and I am mad because of that.
There is a picture I attached and I'm returning it tomorrow because I had it for almost 3 weeks now.
