no they are not, the lumia 920 is especially designed to be “not picky” about the place on the charger.

The original Nexus 4′s have an issue with the way the wireless charger was implemented. I suggest sticking with the LG WCP-700 which should have no issue charging the Nexus 4.

I know, Just thought I would inform you if you didn’t already know. There has been a ton more research recently & I view these Qi chargers as just the first step/generation. I think we are very close to getting wireless power, like you want.

Verizon tried to sell me the Fatboy when I purchased my DNA. I did not want a huge pillow on my nightstand. I purchased the Charging Plate and I am very pleased with it’s performance. It is actually nicer than I imagined wireless charging to be. I can lay in my bed and use the phone and when I am done just set it down right on the plate. I don’t have to manipulate wires or (un)plug anything.

The only drawback is that the black charging plate uses a white AC adapter that is almost the same size as the plate.

I have a Nokia Charging Plate, and it works with both my Lumia 920 and Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 does do a few “Charging/Not Charging” fits at first, but then it settles down and charges it without issue.

I’ve started using the Nokia plate with the HTC Rezound (with the necessary wireless charging battery cover) and it works flawlessly. After enjoying the benefits of wireless charging, I don’t see myself ever getting another phone without this feature.

Kellex – I personally own both Nokia chargers. The plate sits in my office on my desk and the pillow at home. I use both everyday with the DNA and have no issues at all. Works every time with both. Now a coworker of mine has the Nexus 4, when he drops his on my plate it’s 50/50 at best, drives him nuts. There’s nothing wrong with the chargers, I’d be willing to bet the design and materials used on the back of the Nexus 4 just aren’t the most conducive for energy transfer.

Sorry, I should of deleted my comment when I realized I was wrong. It’s not in the Google Play store, misread the tweet. It’s just some online retailer that has it up for pre-order with availability in 2-4 weeks. My bad. https://www.puremobile.com/lg-mobile-wcp400-wireless-charging-orb-nexus-4

Everyone already knows that Nokia chargers don’t work with the Nexus 4.

Another case of Droid Life not doing proper research before posting.
