QI (WIRELESS) Charging

Wireless charging is alive & well w/the G FLEX. While not natively built-in, it can be accomplished w/a Universal "TYPE A" Micro USB QI Wireless Charging Receiver , such as the one listed here :

Amazon.com: [Aftermarket Product] Black Type A Micro USB Qi Wireless Universal Charger Tag Receiver Coil For LG G2: Cell Phones & Accessories

Note that any receiver rated less than 750mA output will lead to extremely slow charging, which in turn will lead to a high-temperature condition, which leads to even slower charging, & so on.

As mfg estimate is 3.5 hrs to fully charge this phone w/the provided OEM Charger & cable, expect double the charging time when using the above QI Receiver & your QI charging dock of choice.

I'm currently charging wirelessly, using the above receiver pad & NOKIA FATBOY charging dock.

I'll check after an hour & provide an estimate of real-world 0-100% charge time.

UPDATE :
After 2hrs charge time, (1hr w/phone powered on, but, screen-off & 1hr w/phone powered down {off} ), I'm getting about 15% an hour. Same rate, more or less, whether the phone was on or off.

Sooooo, the basic rule of thumb is 1/2 the charging speed vs traditional OEM supplied charger, about 6hs vs 3hrs.
 
I got a type A QI charger adapter for MY LG flex. and bought a QI charger from EBay..... BUT the QI CHARGER says IT'S for many phones including. The LG nexus..... is this going to work with MY phone??o_O THANK U!!
