Is the Lumia 820 wireless charging cover compatibl...

Hello,
I have just bought this induction charging base in Amazon Germany. I had purchased the Nokia charging cover for my Lumia 820 already last month. But now that I lay down my phone on the base nothing happens. I thought that induction charging couldn't really be a proprietary standard (I mean, it's just basic physics after all!) but now I'm wondering if somehow the Nokia covers are not compatible with other brands of chargers? I'd find that hard to believe...
Has anybody used the wireless charging feature with other brands of chargers? Could there be some option that I need to turn on in my phone that I don't know of?
PS: I also contacted just now the charging base's manufacturer to see if they know of any compatibility issues

The cover is compatible with all wireless chargers that use the Qi Standard. It will not work with wireless chargers that use other standards, for example the old "powermat" chargers.
More about Qi here: http://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/what-we-do/qi/
The one on your link doesn't mention any standards so itt's either like the powermats or proprietary.

  • Lumia 820 wireless charging question

    Hi! I've recently bought a Lumia 820, which I'm loving by the way, and I've noticed wireless charging doesn't work as it should. The battery doesn't seem to charge, although the phone and the charging pad do indicate it's charging. I've also noticed that one of the connector pins on the backside of the phone doesn't spring back when pushed, instead it sits very deeply within its casing, as you can see on the picture. I'm thinking these two things have something to do with each other. Can someone please shed some more light on this subject? Thanks!

    It would appear so that this is the cause,just checked mine and all 4 pins are up,return device to point of purchase or a nokia care point,if that pin does not pop up try pushing on it gently and see.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Will a wireless charging cover be made for the Lucid3 VS876?

    The Verizon website has this phone entered as compatible with wireless charging, but this is not correct.  Anyone else buy this phone thinking it could be charged this way?  Right now there are no plans by LG to make a proper charging cover for this.  A duped customer.

    I already contacted LG two weeks ago with regards to this matter, and they said that it so far is not going to be made for this particular model, even though the 2 previous models did support this ability to charge wirelessly.  I had hoped someone else might already have found out about this, but apparently not.  Maybe if enough owners of this particular model ask for a "wireless charging cover", maybe LG would consider making one.  Even the Verizon store staff thought it was Qi compatible, and sold me a charging pad that I had to return for a refund.
    I could have returned my phone and exchanged it for some other brand, but this model is small and very lightweight, and easy to tuck into my pocket or purse.  Since my original purchase at a Verizon store took about 3 hours to fill out all the paper work, the thought of repeating this procedure is daunting.

  • Case for note 4 with original wireless charging cover

    I bought a samsung wireless charging cover for my note 4. When I tried to out the case on it, it no longer fits. After doing research I confirmed the phone is slightly thicker now. What cases are compatible with this set up?

        I apologize joevas22, I didn't mean to insult you; I need to make sure this was done. I researched this quite thoroughly since you mentioned the size had changed. As stated in the link provided, the dimensions are 8inX2inX5in; our model is 6.04inX3.09inX0.33.  I assure you, this has been the only model we have and not changed anything. This is the link to the manufacturer's page http://bit.ly/1GbpHCS as well as ours http://vz.to/1ttodxd so you verify the information I provided is accurate. I am not sure why the seller listed the case as compatible with all models.

  • 822 No Grey Wireless Charging Cover, only Black an...

    Love my Grey Lumia 822. Was a little disappointed that the Wireless Charging Cover (which did not come with my phone), allows the device to use the Qi wireless charging pads only come in Black and White.  I got black, and now my phone is two-toned.  It is still a sharp looking phone, but would really like to have a Wireless Charging Cover in Grey.
    Just a word of warning to any of you out there who have the grey phone.

    Where did you buy it? I'm dissapointed, I was told before I bought the plate that the HTC and the nokia 822 both had the back included, and now my charging pad doesn't work. I can't find where to buy the dang thing. It sucks that they aren't clear about it. I guess they did trick me into buying it

  • Lumia 1520 Wireless charger

    I just purchased the Lumia 1520 from AT&T.  I also bought the Incipio wireless charge cover.  for some reason, when I pair this up with my Nokia DT 910 wireless charger, the charger does not recognize my device 9and thus won't charge).  It does charge my Lumia 925 without any issue.  Does anyone have any insight as to why my 1520 isn't charging on the charger stand?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    The specifications of the AT&T-variant Lumia 1520 are different from standard, it requires a PMA-compatibile wireless charger, not Qi.
    Customers with the AT&T-variant model require the PMA charging cover which is provided by AT&T, not by Nokia. Lumia 1520s offered elsewhere in the world have Qi wireless charging built in.

  • White 1020 Wireless Charging cover?

    I've reached out to Nokia on Twitter a couple of times with no response. Does anyone know if there will be a white wireless charging cover for the Nokia Lumia 1020? I have lots of wireless chargers from my 920 days, but they're no good until I get a cover for my white 1020. I would prefer not to get a black one, and I'm not a fan of the yellow at all.
    Searches online reveal only Expansis and MobileFun (the same site but in different countries) offering white for pre-order. Nokia only shows black and yellow, and Amazon is only selling the Black at this time.
    Thanks.

    At the moment there is none available you will need to keep checking with online retailers or keep checking sites such as you have mentioned.You could also ask nokia in your region on twitter again.They do have a lot to deal with so they might take some time to get back to you.

  • Cases to accomodate "Samsung Wireless Charging Cover" for S5

    I just got the "Samsung Wireless Charging Cover" for my S5 and, as expected, none of my cases fit well. Anyone have any suggestions for non-"bumper" cases that might fit? My URBAN ARMOR GEAR case does fit, but you can tell it's stuffed in there...

  • Speed dial on the Lumia 820?

    I cannot find anywhere how you set speed dial on the Lumia 820? can this be done

    @ lynnai41 - You may go to your contact list, select the contact and long press on it .. then select 'pin to start' and the contact tile will be pinned to the home screen. Else, you may search for 3rd Party applications (search for 'speed dial' ) at the MarketPlace.

  • Lumia 925 + wireless charging back = broken BT voi...

    I'm posting this in case anyone else has discovered this problem.
    I've got a Lumia 925 with the wireless charging back fitted. If I use the phone with a Bluetooth headset to listen to audio on the phone, it is fine. If I use the BT headset, or BT functionality in my car, to make or receive a telephone call, the voice audio is very broken and intermittent. Sometimes ending and restarting the call clears it, but not very often.
    What *does* cure the problem is removing the wireless charging back. I have noted that the phone does NOT need to actually be charging for the interference - it just needs to be fitted.
    I am NOT sure if the problem is being caused by the accessory or by the phone itself. I am arranging for the accessory to be replaced first (less hassle) but it could well be the phone.

    I am having the same exact problem. I was initially thinking that this is some compatability issue between my car's integrated BT support, but as you suggested, once I have removed the charging cover, the issue is gone. What's interesting is that this will continue even if the cover is removed from the phone and until next restart of the phone.
    Anyone has solution to this? BTW: I can confirm that in my previous Lumia 920 and my wife's Lumia 820 with wireless cover this does not happen.

  • Lumia 822 wireless charging: really misleading, No...

    Quite annoyed by this:
    If you look under Lumia 822 specifications, they say this:
    http://www.nokia.com/us-en/products/phone/lumia822/specifications/
    (Under Hardware):
    Wireless connectivity
    Bluetooth 3.0
    Near Field Communication
    Wi-Fi Channel bonding
    WLAN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
    Qi Wireless charging
    However, as it turns out, 822 also requires a wireless charging shell? For the 820, at least you see that as a listed option under Accessories, but for the 822, it is not there?
    I dunno - seems wrong to me; why not have a "*" is there is a footnote needed that wireless charging shell is needed? I guess I'll keep the dual wireless charger I bought for the future with the hope that shells will become available and will not cost too much?

    @slaverenz-     read the user guide: http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/pdf_guides/devices/822/Nokia_Lumia_822_UG_en.pdf
    Page 16.
    In order to charge wirelessly, NFC must be enabled.  I talked to Nokia support on the phone.  NFC is necessary to connect the phone to the secondary device, whether it be a charging plate or headset, etc.  When one goes to the settings and turns on NFC, only NFC sharing is enabled.  When the shell that has not been released becomes available, it contains an NFC contact point (square) that must touch with another device to activate (the center of the charging plate for example.  The phone does not charge via NFC, but connects wirelessly to the charging plate through it.

  • Lumia 920 wireless charging not working after phon...

    Long story short
    Coulnd't hear anyone speaking on the phone if volume was turned up over 6 as internal earpiece distorts too badly (there is something loose inside the Lumia 920)
    Got the phone back from Nokia care point in Cheltenham UK, earpiece fault not fixed.
    Took it home, put it on the wireless charger - it now does not charge whereas it did perfectly before the trip to get 'fixed'
    Nokia careport say 'Nothing to do with us, we'll have to send it back to Finland, which will take 3 weeks and you can't have a spare phone'
    As a result, my confidence in Nokia is fading fast, won't be giving them any more chances to build a decent phone when this contract ends.

    Sounds like the care point has broken it and are refusing to accept responsibility for their actions. Care points are independent and not directly run by Nokia.
    I suggest you submit a complaint to Nokia UK on this link:

  • Lumia 920 Wireless Charging not working - Known is...

    I have a Nokia Lumia 920, which works perfectly fine. I haven't had some of the other issues reported here with freezing, apps, etc.
    I have a Nokia charging plate and I've found that no matter what I do the wireless charging plate absolutely does not work. I've turned off Bluetooth, Wifi, turned ON Battery Saver, disabled every background app, even hard reset my phone and tried charging it from stock. The wireless charging plate doesn't even maintain the current battery state - The battery slowly drains hour by hour. I've also tried placing the phone on the charging plate in different positions to ensure it's making good contact. Nothing works.
    Is this a known issue? Is there anyway to identify a defective phone? Is there a possible fix for this? I love my Lumia, but this a killer feature I would expect to work consistently.

    OK, this thread is odd. My charging plate works fine. It has a side with a little ring and Nokia in it, and the other side has an oval of rubber around the periphery with the usual conformance writing on it that side Qi, CE, don't throw it on the trash icon,  Mine works just fine with the Oval down, and the Nokia in the ring up. Is that not what others see?
    I can turn it over, but it is touchy as to whether I can get the light to come on. Usually not. I assumed, initially, the oval went down to keep it from sliding around on the table, and Nokia went up because they want you to know it's Nokia. Has always worked that way. I wish there was a larger rubber something on the 'top' as the phone can slide and spin more than I think it should.
    For what it is worth, I much prefer the charge stand, but the plate is more convenient if I am going to travel somewhere for a while. Couple of days, just charger, week or so, might bring the plate for the hotel.
    BTW, I do get the connect noise when putting it on the charge plate. Sometimes it can take a second otr two. When I take it off, it can take several seconds to get the disconnect noise and the charging icon to go away. If I put it back on the charger before the disconnect noise and the charge icon goes away, it does NOT make a connect noise, though the light comes on. The light will also eventually go off at full charge.

  • Lumia 920 Wireless Charging Plate...where do i get...

    Hi,
    Just traded my iPhone 5 (Had every single iPhone since the Original) for the Nokia Lumia 920.
    I got it from Best Buy and I must say Im really impressed with the Lumia 920.
    Still learning the features on my new phone but im liking it so far.
    My question is where do i sign up to get the free Wireless charger?

    I believe the free wireless charger was only available from some network carriers only and not universally across the U.S. or other countries and territories. If you are unable to find a retailer of the charging plates, you can click the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page to chat online with a Nokia representative directly, who will be able to point you in the right direction.

  • Does the Lumia 820 have Corning Gorilla Glas?

    Hey there, I am very interested in the Nokia Lumia 820. Does it have Gorilla Glas? I have once heard, that Nokia will provide every Smartphone with Gorilla Glass: http://thenokiablog.com/2010/11/30/nokia-displays-gorilla-glass/. Why is there a change of policy? Why should Nokia provide a durable Cover, when the real weak point will be the display screen?
