Actually wireless charging is just a novelty. I'm using the panasonic Qi charger and I found that it didn't fully charge the phone. I don't know if my charger is faulty or the phone is. So end up I have to use the wired charger to ensure a full battery charge.
That's weird, I experience full charge with the Qi Charger..

Battery drain in 4.2.1 is terribly horrible. Unbelievable n is very much worse than even galaxy nexus
Well wait for another 2-3 charges to assess better
Only 3 hours plus using it
Upgraded immediately to 4.2.1 when prompted
Just installed Franco 34 kernel n hopefully will improve
3g browsing unbelievable at 30-35% per hour drain
I am experience with my other N4 on 4.2.1 while another N4 are still with 4.2..
Seems 4.2's battery consumption is better.

Doomsday says otherwise. We had a meet in Times Square and he has his Nexus 4 charged in the time we had coffee in Starbucks there. It works and charge my DROID DNA and Lumia 920(which is a b**** to charge to full) to full capacity without any issue.

I reckon it's the apps you have running in the background on the Nexus 4 that is eating up a lot of the charge on your Nexus 4 that offsets the charging capability of the Panasonic Qi Charger. Android is not like iOS, when it has things running in the background, it is running LIVE in the background eating up processor cycle and battery charge. iOS multitasking basically freezes the app in its current state, minimizing power drainage, although if you have games running in the background it will still sip battery power.
Go ahead and use your wired charger, I'm moving into the future wire-free. A whole lot of variables can be faulted to when it comes to running Android and taming its background services, but from what I had on my DROID DNA and Lumia 920, the Panasonic Qi Charger is the only charger that works and charges them to full when I lift them off the charging plate.
Yeap, it does fully charges for twice in fact during the chit chat session..
