Review on LG Electronics WCP 300 Wireless Charging by Tim Thuss

Charges but not reliable - Nexus 4

I've been using this charger with my Nexus 4 for several weeks. I love the convenience of being able to place my phone on this little stand in our bedroom The room is dark , unnecessary fiddling with the cord to connect to the phone. When it works, it works well. You place the phone on the pad at the bottom of the phone. The phone detects that it's charging and makes a small noise. Sometimes it takes a little effort to get the phone in the right position relative to the charger so that the phone can be charged. The big problem is that even if the charger shows a blinking charging indicator and the phone emits a sound indicating charging, sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) for unknown reasons, the phone stops charging and after a few the charging indicator doesn't more shows minutes even though the phone is not moving. While I think it's a great gadget, the charging reliability isn't great. This is my first wireless charger. I'm not sure how much this issue is related to the phone and charger, but it definitely has me thinking about wireless charging in its current state.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Too long to wait
