I have just bought a cheap mains charger for the Streak from eBay (item 320593137758).
To use this charger, you need to slide 2 moveable pins to line up with the appropriate contacts on the battery. The problem is that there are no markings on either the battery or the charger, so I don't know which pin needs to connect to which contact.
I don't want to try trial-and-error for fear of damaging the battery.
Does anybody have any information which might help?
I made my own charger pin outs go like this:
from the middle of the battery where the dented part is that would be negative so it'll be like this ( - d d + ) 2 in the middle are for data don't need those
so you are looking at the far pins,
remember middle of the battery is NEGATIVE outer side is POSITIVE
Also make sure the charger is for LI-ION/POLY battery so it stops charging the battery.
I have a similar charger from ebay and it will light up the star or led when connected right.
I have us

Whenever I'm charging my captivate. The charger is loose and does not stay tight.
If I move the charger a little bit, it stops charging or recognize it as USB...
I'm using the standard charger that you get along with your captivate.
Are anyone of you experiencing the same problem? Is there a solution?

Same thing is happening to me, I don't k ow why.

I found this usually only happens when the door covering the usb port isn't opened all the way. Make sure yours is open all the way.
Make sure u slide the charger cover all the way open is only thing I can guess might be wrong
Make sure the sliding door is all of the way open. It tends to stick, and then the connector doesn't click in place. If the door is all of the way open then the connector will stay in place firmly.

Yeah that's the normal issue (the door not clicking open). Also, the stockcharger has little hook/protrusions that tends to hold it a bit better as well.
I always had my sliding thing fully opened.. the charger just doesnt seem to stay in place.. for ex. When my phone is on the ground charging, and if i pick up my phone, the charger tilts to the left which causes my phone to think its a usb..
Should i just get another charger? Any recommendation for one?

Yep, my OEM charger eventually became so loose that it would fall out unless the phone was propped up vertically. I read about crimping or adjusting the socket itself with needle nose pliers, but this didn't work for me. The only solution I found was to purchase another micro USB cable. So far my third party ones all fit fine.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
yeah likely the door or the cable
I think it's partly the Samsung adapter and MicroUSB in general. Mine's not that bad, but third party ones do seem to hold better, if not as well as some other connectors.
Its the stock adapter you get with the phone. After a while the prongs wear out. Third party chargers are excellent and a made more heavy duty and tight fitting. Thus they last longer.

I am having the same problem and I know for a fact that the door is open I think I have another USB around so I will have to give that a try.

I got one of those chargers and it bent out my pins inside the charging port. The oem charger / sync cable won't work. Having my Streak 5 fixed. Instructions say use gentle pressure to get the streak to seat properly. The issue is the port on some of them are off resulting in damagrd streaks. If its snug don't force it & use caution

anyway to modify streak 7 internal battery,forget waranty things.,,i think it must be possible to change it.,i dont have any streak7 yet,can somebody open back cover of it and share photos from it
You have to remove 6 er 7 screws and open it up then carefully unhook the 3 ribbon cables for lcd,touch screen,and capacitive buttons.......then remove the speakers,cameras,modem....pull the mother board and then the battery is one of those soft batterys so you have to be carefull in un-tapeing it from the back shell and then you will need to fine a comperable battery .......and it voids your waranty just by opening it up but hey if you decide to do it and something goes wrong id be interested in the mother board to replace my other streak
But on the positive side I can field stip a streak 7 in under 5 min.......just cant figure out how to format the nand

Amazing. Ive got one with a broken charge port. Dell replaced it but they still havent sent me a shipping label to send back the old one. I waited a week for an email with the label to send it to mexico, so after 10 calls they just sent out a new one. Employees just arent so bright. Id love to fix the old one.
so amazing, difficult to modify, dont think about that...
PDMI
There is PDMI port on side of Dell Streak 7 that can be used as add-ons. If you are lucky to find a 7inch thin battery, you could hide it in a leather case and plug your streak with it. Also you could make your own conventional USB and HDMI port on leather case.

Yea, any chance you can expand on it?
where to find such battery?.,was googling little didnt find any one
.....PDMI
You just need to know which of the 30pins on the PDMI (Click-WiKi) is +pos and which is -neg, then get a rechargeable cell/s (of correct Voltage and approx 2A delivery) and wire into a PDMI male adapter plug accordingly.
BTW I have a feeling this could be a workaround for the "Sleep Of Death" on HD7 as I have found that I can let the device sleep while connected to my USB port on the Laptop and it always wakes up, weird as I know it doesn't charge, but it must send enough power to stop it falling into a coma (I'm on Wifi only model so may differ).........As for powering the Streak up from a backup pack I think it would need to deliver at least 2amps as the Streak doesn't seem to want to charge from much less, unless you fancy learning the Schematics of the DS7's Mobo to look for a workaround!
Did anyone find a battery that fits and has worked for a least a couple of months and has greater battery life?

Hi everyone, thought I would share a mod I did to my tablet based off this guy on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6QcSpZHGFs&list=UUOxsHE9Vmxb32X66EUSWkOw&index=1
Note he used a Blackberry 8900 Energizer Qi Cover. I used an Apple Iphone 3G one and removed the coil.
Step 1: CAREFULLY remove the tape and casing around the Qi coil. The plastic comes apart easily. You want to avoid damaging the board and wires when removing the tape securing it to the Iphone case.
Step 2: Remove the nexus 7 cover. It clips off quite easily once you get a grip. I found it easiest to remove the sim slot cover and pry from there, but any opening should do.
Step 3: Place the coil. Note where I placed mine I had to peel back the bronze covering to allow the coil to penetrate the back of the case. Run the wires to the NFC connector. Note the position of the wires in the photo. Be sure to insulate the wires with tape and ensure no crossed points (which shouldnt be an issue anyhow).
Step 4: Remove the Iphone connector and solder the wires to either end of the NFC noting the correct positive and negative positions.
Step 5: Test. Note that it will enter docking mode when initially connected. If the docking notice keeps popping up that means that you do not have it centered and the connection keeps re-establishing. I used the LG Qi pad from Verizon for testing. Just pop the cover back on once done, and voila!
I preferred this to the Palm Pre inductive mod since my Nexus 4 uses the Qi standard. Hope this helps some of you!
You can disable the docking screen/options via 'DayDream' mode being turned off in display settings.

I did that mod too. Used the blackberry 8900 coil. Seems like it will take a while to fully charge the battery once its dead. I'm going to see if I can find a larger coil that can put out a higher voltage.. What is your total time to recharge your Nexus 7..? I finalized the mod today and am just charging my unit for the first time now. But it seems to be getting a low volatage as its still I'm single digits and its been on the charger for an hour or so already..
I'm getting 5 to 9 an hour with the lg charger. I'll post results when my energizer arrives and is tested.
What happens if you charge via the pogo pins (ex. a dock) and charge using a charging mat at the same time? I know this is unlikely, but I'm curious if this could cause damage to the tablet.
Does this work thru a case?

It doesnt work through the thick leather Truss case I have it in, but works through tpu covers.

I've got the poetic flip case. It's a thinner plastic with leather. Think I'm sol? What if I increase the coil size? Will that increase the strength?

It's very simple. This is a great mod for a beginner tinker-er
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yep, very easy to do mod. The energizer seems to charge faster. I am going to have to test more thoroughly, but I am getting ~15% per hour with it thus far.
After more thorough testing my LG charging pad seems to average 9-13% an hour, whereas the energizer seems to only do 7-9 an hour. Decent for overnight charging, but certainly not very fast.
Two questions:
1) What's the total cost to do this. That is both a charging mat and a donor back door.
2) How much current (that's mah not voltage) do these doors provide? I'd assume they all supply 5V since that's the USB standard and most things charge that way nowadays. Do they have ratings on them or is it just the situation that they make a replacement door/back for the xxx device and you have to live with that if you have a xxx?

The cost is that of a qi coil as described in post 1 and any qi mat.

I think the reason people go with the palm setup is that you can find them for dirt cheap. What is the best/cheapest source for qi stuff?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have been able to find the energizer base stations in clearance areas like Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target and sometimes goodwill. Any of the energizer stations are qi compatible. My wife was able to score a double station from goodwill with the BlackBerry coils for 20 bucks ya just gotta look around

If I use the cord that comes with Glass, with the plug that goes at a right angle, could I plug Glass in while I'm wearing it, running the cord behind my ear and down my back to a battery pack in my pocket?
It might looks ridiculous, but I'd feel better knowing I had the option...

Which pack did you end up buying? I think google recommends using the wall charger that came with the Glass. And that charger charges at .25A. I wonder what the long term effects of charging it at over 1A ? Anyone have any ideas please chime in!
Sorry, I meant that I was ordering Glass! With the new version future-compatible with prescription lenses and the possibility of finessing an external battery pack, my reservations are just muted enough for me to pull the trigger.
I hadn't seen that about the charger. I have an Anker with 3A output. I may have to look into something with fewer amps, I guess?

I was thinking the same thing, if someone manufactures one of the tiny/thin curly cables like some security detail wears it would be a great combination for glass, I'd just keep the usb battery in a jacket pocket, or even on a hip clip...
With a clip for the neck of your shirt, with a micro usb end, and a USB A connector... I'd be all over it!
which one is the best one??
I do this now, I use a xtreme pax by new Trent

The Glass will only charge at the rate that it is capable of charging at. If Glass draws 0.25A when it charges, that's all it will do even if you plug it into something capable of delivering 1 trillion Amps. The charging circuit is in the device, not in the plug you stick in the wall. BTW, same thing with phones/tablets. The important thing is for the plug to be capable of delivering MORE than what the device needs.

Yup.
I have had GREAT results with an Anker 12000 mAh battery pack and a right-angle MicroUSB cable.
3 foot version of this is great for going to a jacket pocket:
