[Q] Wireless Charging

Has anyone found the wireless charging accessories for this guy yet?

it's supposed to use the new wireless charging 'standard' so any pad with the same technology should work
e.g. from amazon, type in qi charger

Verizon sells the Wireless Charging Battery Cover.
I tried to paste the link but the Forum won't let me (not till after 8 posts anyways)...

Looks like the back cover is out of stock on Verizonwireless.com. Does anyone know or have heard of this cover working with a Palm Pre Touchstone? Thanks...

Well I got my wireless charging pad and back cover today. The back cover is twice as thick as the stock cover. I came from a Palm Pre so I have a bunch of touchstones. Unforunately, I can confirm that the revo wireless charing system is NOT compatible with the touchstone. The verizon charging pad seems to sense when the phone is near and turns on. The touchstone did not, so that is probably one of the problems. I measured the voltage from the back of the touchstone cover and it wasaround 5.1 Volts. I am hoping I can use the touchstone coil on the stock cover of my revo and wire the charging leads to the revo. The revo has 4 pins for charging but the touchstone only has two, so I need to find out how to wire this. i may have to go through the USB 5V connection. I love my touchstone car mount and I am really hoping to be able to use the touchstones for charging the Revo.

Also, gsxrpilot would you say the wireless charging it worth it? for the almost 100 bucks you spend on it? and does gsxrpilot mean you ride a gsxr street bike?

Well there is a deal this month where you get the back free with the pad, so $70 for both. I got a little more discount because I complained that the only reason I needed a new phone and wireless charger is because my Palm Pre stopped working. I would say that it is worth the convenience. Constantly plugging in the micro usb charger due to the low battery life gets old. Now if I can get my touchstones to work, it will really be worth it.
And yes I have a '92 GSXR-750 and love to fly RC Planes and Helis, hence gsxrpilot.

I might have to get that then. Also, that's sick. My neighbor has a 20xx dsxr 750. They are a blast to ride.

Couple of gripes about this...
I bought the Wireless charging back for my Revo and it's not compatible with the Powermat that I already have, apparently the "qi" technology works differently than the induction that the Powermat uses. It IS compatible with the Energizer power mat which uses the same "qi" technology. but you're looking at the same price for either charging base.
Secondly, the wireless charging cover is twice as thick as the stock cover so any skins or cases you want to get for the phone will not fit. My silicon cover almost fits but buldges out on the sides.
I still think wireless charging is the way to go, just a heads up for those of you who are looking into this.

Well I got my touchstone to work with my Revo! I scraped the charging coil from the back of a palm pre cover (bought 2 for less than $5), then hot glued it on the back of my stock revo cover. I had to dremel 4 holes where the metal disks were and added 2 disks per hole since the revo is heavier than the pre and more disks help it stay on the touchstone better. I now have 4 little bumps on the back of my cover. I searched everywhere for the connector that would fit in the stock cover but couldn't find it. So I wound up using magnet wire and soldering directly to the charging tabs on the coil and the top of the connectors on the phone. Didn't have to use too much solder so I could remove the wires if I wanted to go back to the verizon charger. It is nice having the stock cover back, the verizon wireless cover was so much thicker.

Any way you could post a picture? I'm interested to see if that setup would work for my powermat.

OK,I think I attached the picture correctly. I did the following:
1. Remove the charging sticker and assembly from the back of the Palm Pre charging cover. Do not use the Pixi charging cover assembly, there is a ribbon in it that cannot be re-assembled after removal.
2. I took my dremel tool and routed some space off the inside back of the cover. The revolution cover is a bit thicker than the pre cover and I was concerned it might be too thick to allow the inductive power through.
3. I also routed some indentations in the back of the cover. (see Phone Back Image) I'm not sure if this was necessary either but I had really hoped I could mount the phone vertically on the touchstone in my car like the pre so i put a second set of metal disks behind the indentations. As it turned out, the revo is much heavier than the pre so this didn't work.
4. I glued the sticker and assembly to the back of the stock cover. First I tried crazy glue which didn't work that well so I wound up using hot glue.
5. Finally I soldered magnet wire from the palm charging tabs to the wireless charging tabs. Top tab to the top charging post (there are 4 of these posts, I only used two) and bottom to bottom. The top tab and post is ground, the bottom tab and post are +5V. (see Phone Inside 2 image)
6. I snapped the cover on (there is still a small gap which I haven't quite worked out yet but it works ok). Stick it on the touchstone and it says "wireless Charging" (which is actually annoying and I thought I had figured a way to remove this notification but it came back)
Now all of my touchstones work for charging and I am not sure I will ever go back to the verizon wireless charger.

awesome stuff, I will definitely give this a shot and post results.

nice hack.....looks like your method could work on most any accessory case

how long would it take to charge the revo?

Charging probably takes slightly longer than through the USB port. The phone can get a little warm too but I have never had a problem. It's really convenient in the car where I glued the touchstone to my center console. If you have ever tried to drive while plugging in the tiny usb cable you will know what I am speaking about.

Incipio Silicrylic and Moto Car Dock

I received my grey/white silicrylic case in the mail yesterday. It looks great and feels awesome, really is a pleasure to use.
My problem is, it just barely fits into the car dock (with the insert removed). It doesn't quite make enough contact with the charging port to charge, meaning it doesn't go into car dock mode (also, sits there and drains the battery). Has anyone else had the same experience (or the opposite)? Any idea where I need to hit the dock with my Dremel to make it fit? I can't quite tell where it's too tight.
Edit: Looks like it's on the bottom right corner as the dock is facing you... I think the acrylic part of the case is maybe 1mm too long for the dock. I'll try shaving that bit down a bit when I get home and see if that works.

I had the same issue with the HD Dock. Even tho others say they're silicrylic worked fine with the HD Dock, it was a very poor connection that would cause the webtop app to reset if i bumped the phone...and yes that was with the shim/insert removed.
As for the the Car Dock...it might be easier to cut the plug out of the dock so that you can raise it into a higher position and then use epoxy to set it back into place...or switch to a different case. I use Incipio's feather case now and I like it. Granted it doesn't offer as much protection...I just handle the phone more carefully than I've ever handled a phone before. It's too bad the hard shell of the silicrylic isn't easier to remove. if you're not careful, taking the shell on and off you'll eventually tear the silicone piece. Good luck.

Official word from Incipio is that the case is not compatible the dock. I'll show them...
Does anyone know how the bionic knows to switch to dock mode? I don't see a magnet inside the dock anywhere, and dock mode only seems to work when the power is on.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Edit:
Broke out the Dremel this evening, trimmed off the lip that sticks out over the bottom right corner of the phone when it's on the dock, then expanded the hole through which the microusb charger comes so I could push it through about another millimeter so that it reaches far enough to charge the phone. I'm overall very happy with the situation. Kudos to Motorola for making the dock so roomy; I really had very little work to do to make this happen.
One very important thing I learned about cutting/sanding plastic with the Dremel - go with the slowest speed that will do the job. If you go too fast, you end up melting the plastic instead of cutting it or smoothing it, and it looks awful.

wireless charging mod (s4 ACTIVE)

Heres the backround on what i did to get wireless charging going...
1) get palm coil and touchstone. i bought this on ebay for 10$ (just search touchstone charging kit)
2) carefully remove the coil from the back cover of the palm phone. plastic cover first then the rest.
3) what worked easiest for me was to keep all the coil stuff stuck to the removable plastic piece holding everything together, then you can simply stick it in the back of our active covers. (make sure when moving the magnets all the positive sides are facing towards the dock)
4) Connecting it. I tried doing this a couple different ways and i eventually ended up pulling tiny copper wire out of computer speaker cable and used it like a twist tie on the phone terminals (then small amount of electrical tape to separate them...which worked out fine)*I attempted to do the same on the coil side of the connection but that was a bust so i ended up soldering it.. not my first choice but since its on the palm coil not my active I did it.*
5) you should be all good to go at this point
here are some pics too and of course if you some of mess your phone up...its not my fault

Use a multimeter...if you dont know how, you probably shouldn't attempt this hack and should wait for an aftermarket back plate to come out

Out of curiosity, how strong are these magnets? Am I going to have to make sure that my phone gets nowhere near my credit cards (and other magnetic cards, media, etc.)?

They are fairly strong but I have yet to have any issues with my cards...however I usually keep my phone in a separate pocket

Have you tested the phones waterproof capabilities since you did this mod? I love the idea, want to do it, but im on the fence, as it seems it would make it very easy to make the waterproofing gasket fail with a small wire.... on the other hand, you dont have to take the back off, or open the charging port, so if it doesn't void the waterproofing, it could be even better

Obviously, if any wire or any part of the wireless receiver protrudes over the seal, the water resistance will be compromised, but that's not the only issue.
In the back panel replacement sticker on the back of the S4A, it tells you to press under the camera LED. Pressing there engages the rubber seal. The issue is that any of these non-oem wireless receivers is going to slightly lift the central portion of the back away from the phone. Thus, even if no part of the seal-line is breached, I still wouldn't trust that the seal could engage fully.
Don't get me wrong... I'm going to do something similar, since I'd rather have wireless charging. Still... until an OEM wireless charging backplate comes from Samsung, I'd assume it's an either/or situation. Wireless charging OR water resistance.

I will fix the wire issue by using copper tape. I'm excited to try it...

I am doing this mod tonight and I thought I would share some information.
See below for the information I have gathered:
Yellow lines = Copper tape- as you can tell it gets very cramped around the end because of the gasket. I may need to use a different path or wires like the OP. The important stuff to gather from this is which is positive and which is negative on both the phone and the palm pre touchstone.

Nice idea, curious to see how this works out.

Update
My copper tape has not arrived but I installed everything else. It does appear that the coil makes the rear housing push out which leads me to believe it will not do well to repel water away from the seal during extended use but I would prefer wireless charging
If you plan on using a case I would recommend ordering stronger magnets from supermagnets.com part number Disc - D1046. These should work well with any case and it will fit more snug because they are a lot stronger. I will update with photos once the copper tape is installed and everything is working.

Am I missing something? Why doesn't the Samsung wireless charging kit work or the wireless receiver tags you can get for the S4 so you can use a Qi charger?

The battery door is different. In theory it will work but you would have to figure out a way to gut the back plate and that would be a lot harder than palm's touchstone mod. Or just wait for the active's wireless back plate to be released. This is a lot cheaper IMO $10 vs $30-150

Ya I just realized this. But still do you think the wireless charger receiver tag could work? If you search on Amazon or Ebay "Galaxy S4 wireless charging receiver tag" there's the component which is stuck inside the back cover Samsung is selling. Except it can be bought for $10-20 and most likely can fit in the Active. I don't know because I have the original S4 but just trying to throw out some ideas. In theory if the tag works you can get it for $15 then use any Qi charger and you're good. While not quite as cheap it's only a few bucks more and much easier and looks way better probably. That is if it works of course.

That's the image of what I'm talking about. The official back plate you buy from Samsung is just the battery door with that tag glued on the inside of the door.

I paid a little more because I wanted to get it this week. The cheaper ones come from China and may take a while. I now need a replacement back for my active, somehow with the palm mod one of my clips doesnt work any longer so under my volume rocker it is propped up. Excited to have wireless charging.

Iottie Wireless Care Charger

I just installed this yesterday, and I am very impressed with this charger. It was an easy install and does not fall off of my curvy dash. Slides in with one click and easy to remove. I love not having to plug my phone in for charging in my car. I might have to invest in wireless charging for home. Just to easy. By the way I got it for under $50. Just do a quick search, I am not sure if I am allowed to post links to commercial sites.

I have been using this charger for about 6 months now, first on the GS5 now on the Turbo. Overall it is a decent mount with the added benefit of wireless charging. It has a gummy surface on its suction cup so it can, and has, mount on marbled dash surfaces as well as smooth ones. The suction action along with the glummyness gives the mount significant strength. The charging is almost as good as my TILT mount at home.
One of the issues I have with the mount is I get a good amount of wobble while driving if the bottom is not in contact with a surface. It seems that the arm holding the charge surface and phone could be stiffer or have a locking mechanism to reduce wobble. The other issue I have with it is there is no release for the mount. You have to pull the phone out and spread the grips so that it will "grab" the phone next time you use it.
Overall a run of the mill mount with the added benefit of wireless charging. Definitely worth the $50.

Thanks. I was searching the same information since many months. Thanks for your hard work.

This could only be made better if it was magnetic grip. The two holding arms are okay, but I love my magnetic vent mount. It doesnt offer qi charging, but if the two could be joined together, that would be great.
This is the one that I'm using right now:

Because of the gummy suction this mount can be mounted any flat portion of your dash. My Element has it mounted to a slightly curved portion of the dash and in my old SI I actually had it mounted vertically. The surface need not be smooth nor flat just relatively so.

Wireless Car Charger DIY

Made this wireless QI Car Charger with a small budget. Bought everything on Amazon
Sewell Direct AirStick Microsuction Tape by Sewell
eForHome Qi Enabled Wireless Charger Inductive Charging Pad Station
Nochoice Magnetic Car Phone Holder Upgraded Version (1 Magnet + 1 Ball)
Of course you can use any other wireless charger but i like the look of this one.
The microsuction tape works great with the glass back of the phone. I just bought at clear case and will try it with that and see if it will stick. I would say very similar to other wireless car chargers that cost $80.
Update:
Works great with my clear case

Have you stuck the Qi charger to the car with the magnetic mount, and then the phone to the charger with the AirStick tape?

How does the tape do with hard bumps? This looks great but I would be worried about the phone flying on bumps.

I made similar one, and actually gonna try that ball mount (better than my mount).
Anyway, the suction tape.... dropped my phone several times..
Several reasons..
1. bad contact due to my mount. (I am gonna improve this)
2. Not flat surface of the back of my phone (with the case)
3. dust on the suction tape. It looses its stickiness.
Otherwise, it works well. Pretty strong. You can clean up the dust for better adhesion.
