My Nokia charging plates came in yesterday (SUPER HAPPY since coming off of a Pre3 with TS2). One thing I read on the documentation that came with the charger is that it should read when the battery is fully charged and will indicate a full charge by blinking the white LED light. I have noticed with my 8x, the white LED stay a constant white anytime the phone is on the charger, fully charged or not. I would guess that the charger turns itself off or at least goes into a different mode when it detects the phone is charged (again, just a guess) so it does not over charge the battery. If so, then it is not doing this with the 8x, so leaving the phone on the charger too long could be a problem. This said, I always left my Pre's on their chargers with no ill affect on the battery, so maybe this wireless charging works the same. Of course, the Pre's had exhibition mode, so they were always using some power when on the charger, the 8x does not do this. Unfortunately, I have not found much information on any website on whether or not you should leave the 8x on a Qi charger for extended periods of time.
I did just think about turning on NFC to see if that indicates to the plate when the phone is charged. I will update once the charge is full to let you know.
If anyone knows more about this and whether or not this is a problem, please let me know.
UPDATE: I just re-read the instructions. It does a long blink when the phone is ALREADY charged and the LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF when the phone is fully charged (which to me means it stops charging).
UPDATE 2: With NFC on, and phone at 100 percent (both indicated by battery indicator, battery saver app, and green LED), the charging plate's white LED remains on.
Maybe the WPCentral guys can weigh in on this and/or contact HTC and Nokia to find out their take?
