[Q] Does the First support wireless charging? - HTC First

Does HTC First support wireless charging? If so, which standard?

No, it does not have the induction coil built in, that's a feature not found on many phones besides the Nexuses.

Hmm. I have another HTC First that I took apart and took pictures. I see what looks to be a coil of some sort.
I made a diagram with components labeled. I could not peel the coil off so I can't see how many windings it has. The diagram is attached to this post.

As I was posting this, I had an idea. Could this be the NFC coil?
[EDIT]
The forum seems to like to 404 on attachments, so I'll upload it to an image host. Here:
Oh, and I do apologize about the photo quality. Taken with HTC First, get the idea. This is the 9th take.

I'm sure since the first had NFC/beam capability then could be possible

Yes, this phone supports NFC.

Considering I've used it, I'd say so. But which coil am I looking at inside the phone?

I don't see what else it could be that would require a coil near the backside of the phone. Nothing else listed in the specs sounds likely.

I have a family member in Japan looking for these. I'll post here, then to eBay when/if I get them.
i have been doing some research and it looks like so far it was given away, as a prize for being a listener to some dude talking about android or something
still researching though, i really want this
i actually found this psted under one of the images of it
"The other special thing about the Android mascots is that they are made by Good Smile Company and not for sale anywhere ^o^
Made in the same place where my grandparents were made - but in different factories."
any updates on finding these android cell phone charms?
I really want one
no luck at all bro ! Ive been looking
I think I found it! Or at least it is a copy of it. Might not be as high quality.

docking station

hi everyone there some one who can show me a good docking station, maybe with the slot for the charging of a second battery? ?
i dont know where u from but i've bought this one on amazon.de
and i'm really satisfied with it.
it's solid and the HD2 fits in perfect, but it has no slot to load a second

Sorry for being link-lazy, but http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/ have a good selection of HD2 equipment, and I have had good experience with them.
(However ignore the 'magic slip mat' which claims to hold your phone through stickiness. It works well with some phones but not with our beloved
I use this one, and its perfect in every way.

This one is even with sound. But I don't have it yet and there could be a problem with the US t-mobile HD2.

For those people who want to plug in headphones to listen to music on their phone. However, I saw this charger a number of months ago, and I remember people who purchased it were complaining that they weren't getting stereo sound from attached headphones, but Mono.
And, to boot, the ad states plainly "This cradle will not fit T-Mobile HD2 phone." This is most likely because the US and European versions of the HD2 are not exactly the same size. Luckily, there's a 30 day money back guarantee...

Watch Band Replacement Gear Live

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a watch band replacement for the gear live. I was wondering if anybody had replaced it and had any tips or recommendations for me. I remember hearing that you might not want to change it because of the shape of the watch itself, but I've seen some pictures and it doesn't look bad. Pictures are awesome too!
I just did this a few days ago. It was really easy to take the old band off just with my fingernail, and any 22mm band should fit. Just make sure whatever band you get comes with the pins (or you buy a pair) to connect it to the watch. It's unlikely that you can reuse the quick release pins on most other watch bands.

Hmm. Doesn't look too bad in the photos. How do you think it looks, personally? I just ordered a cheap stainless steel watch band on eBay. I'll post pictures when it comes in.
I like it and think it looks pretty sharp. It does still look somewhat small compared to the watch, but the thing is huge, so I don't think there is any getting away from that!

missing tweezers and replacement nibs?

Are we supposed to receive a tweezer and replacement nibs for this phone in the box? I ordered it from Samsung direct and cannot seem to find it.
Is anyone else missing it from the box?
Yes, those are supposed to be included: http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/specs/ .

This is going to be a problem. I know from bitter experience that if an item is missing Samsung will require the whole box and contents including your mobile to be returned! Unless your outlet can arrange with the Samsung rep' to just give you a pack. Its an absurd situation. I speak in relation to Southern Europe, if you are in the USA or UK etc things 'may' be different?
It happens, it has to considering millions of these mobiles will be shipped. Its just a pain to resolve.
I know numerous Note 7 buyers where NOT requested to return all the contents of the box only the mobile. To that end maybe a decent member here who has a spare set could send it to you as a kind favour? If I had a set I would do so. When I returned both my Note 7's the outlet (Samsung) required everything, including the so called free VR head set! :silly:
Hope you can resolve this with a minimum of fuss.
Ryland :good:
It also happens that customers sometimes fail to check every nook and cranny of their packaging, or fail to unbox their device in the middle of an otherwise-empty surface where they can easily see everything that's removed from the box, and where there's no danger of knocking tiny items to the floor.
Worst case, though, is that you can order replacement nibs for a few dollars.
what are the little tweezer things for anyway?

Samsung DeX Pad case issue

Hi
Got an issue with my new DeX pad. I’ve got a tech 21 clear case of my Note 8. It’s not that bulky but I need to take it off to plug the DeX pad in. Bit annoying. Does anyone know of any extender that could use?
I’d get an a case that’s open at the bottom but I can’t see any good ones and I like the tech 21 case. So annoying.
Female to male type c.

for sure you didn't looked at photo. You can simply remove that plastic part that is around usb connector and move it higher... did you read that?

Yup. Didn't click it cuz I presumed you misread the OPs dilemma.
Click thru Photo reveals that you can indeed remove the plastic liner but I like the extender better because you leave it on and pop it in and out when needed. To each his own...
Thx
The OP posted that he has the dex pad, not the dex station, which makes both options above unusable. Personally, I'm going to be using a USB-C extension cable to solve the problem. Plugging the female end into the dex pad and the male end into the phone. This also gives the added benefit of having the dex pad hidden and not an eye-sore on my desk.
