DIRECT connection for wireless charging

Hello guys,
Few weeks ago i read about connecting standard wireless qi usb adapter to phone itself. I mean, connect 2 stripes of cables to 5v and ground on motherboard, so usb would be still avaiable. Do you know where on motherboard those pins are ?

Interesting, I'm trying to find out too. I did a mod that way with my NOTE1. Mostly likely near the USB port, but I afraid it'll affect the NFC , because NFC is on the Cover. And the coil 's pcb must be extremely thin.

I would gladly get rid off nfc anyway, as I don't use it. Voltometer is on its way to me, so any time soon I'll try to update the thread

news pliz??
thanks..

Can wireless charging be used when case is still on the phone?

current Qi is good for 7mm i believe...which is plenty of space for most cases. it wont pass through metal though, and I'm sure some materials hinder that more than others. I used a couple different cases on my nexus 5 and was able to charge with all of them.

The Qi chargers are 12V I believe. I modified a car charger to fit the adapter for the Qi wire. I had to solder it to the 12V wires in the car plug. The 5V would not charge it.
You should be able to find 12V power coming out of the power supply.

[Q] Losse Charging Port? Micro USB Cable Not Fitting All The Way.

Just noticed that the default mirco USB charging cable dose not go all the way into the phone and now half way out when before it used to snap all the way in. Anyone else has a similar problem.?

That happened to me with phones before. It was caused by some pocket lint in the charging port. Hope that helps

Well at least I'm not the only one with this problem! First 2 charges the cable fit nice and perceft \ sung as in flush with the phone and couldn't wiggle it at all now all of a sudden the dang thing won't go in all the way.

I've noticed that it's difficult to plug in my Micro USB cable that came with my N6; I feel like I might break the plug and/or the port (or both!).
If I try using my old Samsung charger's microUSB, it won't go in at all -- well, I guess it could if I really forced it, but I'm not gonna. I found that my generic Amzer retractable microUSB seems to plug in the easiest
Are you having the same issue with other brands of micro USBs?

A friends of mine micro usb cable plugs into the charging port all the way without any of the silver part of the micro usb plug showing. I got my Nexus 6 yesterday and the micro usb plugs in and charges the device, but it does not go in all the way like on my friends Nexus 6. There's about a 1/4 of the silver part of the micro usb plug showing. All in all it does what it's suppose to do which is charge the device, but I wonder if this is normal?

Anybody have more information? Mine just started having this issue and it's been rooted so I know the warranty is void.

Unroot and get an RMA.

There are tiny prongs in the micro USB end of the cable that hole the cable in. All cables I have the prongs flatten out and the cable falls out. I just buy cheap cables from Monoprice and throw them away when that happens.

Who use magnetic micro USB with Mate 8 (and probably in IPAKY case ?

I found some china magnetic microUSB cable and brand named. Who use this type of cable ? Is it usefull when phone is in case (how their compability) ?

2.4A Micro USB Magnetic Adapter Charging Charger Cable

That is a pretty neat thing to get.
I do have the IPAKY case, and i guess i would need to actually see if it fits with this usb adapter in reality.

I found earlier only one brand who put sizes in mm of magnetic microusb to description. It was on Amazon, and was before I buy ipaky case. Now i can't found it on Amazon, probably all was sold.?

Whats the impact to the phone? Read some reviews and there are claims that the charging circuit was fried and the battery lost its original capacity. These were for other phones though.

Battery capacity lost ? From cable ? hm
What can be fried if this a same cable, for 2.4A and if with normal 2.4A gold plated contacts ?

was looking at this too, some reviews on amazon says doesn't charge as fast a direct plug. If you try it pls post feedback.

Has anyone used a magnetic usb cable with there m8?

Hey everyone, I have just seen these usb adaptors that clip into your usb port. Then magnetically connect to a USB cable for data/charging. Anyone using one? Would you recommend?
Here is an example
WSKEN XCable Magnetic USB Cable
https://www.amazon.co.uk/WSKEN-XCable-Performance-Compatible-Smartphones-Silver/dp/B00XJQHBOA

Interesting. I didn't know those were available. I wonder how well they'd work with the M8...

Looks like its a standard friction fit in the USB port, but you leave it inserted all the time. The magnet is only used to connect the cable to the port adapter.
The perk of wireless charging because it doesn't wear out your port, but it should be a lot more efficient and run a lot cooler than using a wireless charging adapter.
I may have to order a few. I wonder if it will play nice with quickcharge2.0... hmm...

Hi, yes, interesting. I can see a big advantage from not pluging/unpluging.
But from the photo it looks like the flat magnetic part will cover the headphone socket.
Anyone tried this (or similar) yet?

I don';t think it will because if you look at the picture you can see the "plug" you put in your phone is the same width as the other end of the cable, I just compared that to a USB cable I have here, seems to be enough room, but not for big 3,5mm plugs I think, I think it would leave like 2mm space

Hi, had a quick look on Amazon and they have similar ones with the plug in part that looks smaller. only thing is some reviews say they fall out too easily. Also needs to be checked with clearance for your own case (if you use one).
If I see one in a shop I would like to give it a try though.

It has really bad reviews. I am looking for a good replacement cable. Don't know why HTC doesn't sell them for the M8 or M9. I have tried different brands Anker and they are junk. Can't find a good cable that doesn't wear out. Any advice would be great.

I ordered these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/152249400751?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) from ebay and I absolutely love them. If I just touch the nub, that's inserted in the phone, to the end of the cable, it hops on perfectly connected and charging. One of the best (and fewest) things I ever ordered from China. I hate waiting for non-domestic orders, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. Magnetic usb charging is now my favorite new unnecessary luxury in my gadget life.

Is the cable part reversible? It looks like it would be, but there is no info in the listing to indicate definitively if the mag part has to be in a specific orientation.

Yes it is. You can flip the magnet end either way (upside down/right side up) and it will grab and hold pretty firm. Notice it has an even numbered amount of pins (10 - two rows of 5) this is key to a "flip-able" attachment.

Hi,
Well, nearly 8 weeks later and my magnetic cables just arrived. From China to Dubai with Christmas and New Year in between so...
The good news is they are excellent. Very tight to get in the usb port (which is good), very small and fits with my phone cases. As said above, its reversible.
Bought from tim-hpx on ebay.

[solved]Nook won't charge-possible 1$ solution (needs soldering)

I was looking for a solution to this problem and after opening the nook I found out that on the socket one of the contacts is pushed towards inside - I've strighten it and tried to insert the cable but the cable pushed the contact again. So I glued it with some epoxy glue and currently I'm waiting until it cures.
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk

It turns out that it wasn't the main problem - the nook now is working on power from the charger but it isn't charging the battery. My next try is to solder on a cheap lion charging board from china inside. I couldn't find any 5v test point but there is space for a capacitor near the connector and on the battery connector there are batt+ and batt- test points. This should be enough for the charger.
edit:
Its working!!
i've used a cheap lion charging module from china for 1$. I've cut out the microusb connector, wrapped it in duct tape and fitted it inside the nook.
It's slower than the original charger - only 1A but its working

Hi dkuku,
Thanks for the post.
Could you tell me where the orange USB wire goes?
TIA
