Charge Battery on Dead S4A - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't charge phone using USB charging....phone bricked. Need to charge battery to get into download mode. Can I use a jumper, cutting off micro USB end and putting the stripped wires on the terminals, of battery? If so, are the positive and negative the 1st and third terminals on battery, going left to right? Decal is a little off on my battery, hard to tell if the negative is the third or fourth terminal. Used this process before on an Atrix2, wasn't sure if this would work on this phone.
Thanx.

Easiest way is to use an external case, similar to this
consider also Anker external cases and there are many others

Check the mini usb port on the phone and verify that nothing is bent or broken.
Also try other cords.
I bought one of these from fleebay and it works a treat with ANY charger I plug into it.

[WIP] Wireless Charging on IncS

I am planning to install wireless charging in IncS.
I would need some advice from experts in order to move forward.
On going through various forums on internet, i came across a small difference between the HTC Droid Incredible 2(Which supports wireless charging) and IncS.

There are 4 small contact points on both the motherboards(Marked and circled in the pic). But on INcredible 2 there is a small plate soldered on those. Whereas, on INcS there is no such thing. I mean there is no way a Qi compatible charger receiver can touch the motherboard.
My question now is that should I get this thing soldered on IncS motherboard or do I need to do something else also?

Smart & Security Fast-Charge Cable

Just got my "smart" gadgets. They are pretty good. Charge smartphone & tablet at as almost fast as charger on computer. Never bother me to show data when I toggle switch to charging mode.
It is very convenient when you charge your smartphone on the computer no need wall charger in office. Also securely charge your smartphone in hotel, train, airplane. Your smartphone will never be hacked on charging mode.

Any cheap and reliable type-c cable?

I'm a little bit tired of the stock one because it's too short for me. I don't know why but I everything I think it's a good cable, it's too expensive. I would like to find a 2 meters cable which is resistant and will work properly.
I'm currently using this one:
USB-C 3.0 Cable RAMPOW Braided Fast Charging Type-C Cable (6.5ft/Space Gray)
https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-Ampcore-Turbo-TC10-3A-Durable-USB-Type-C-Charging-Data-Cable-p-1188424.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
this one is awesome, very durable and fast charging
I always use aukey since the first time i use mi5, that cable still works until now

Could there be a short, maybe in the charge port? Maybe something has gotten stuck in the port?
Doesn't sound like the battery. Was it degraded before this started? Any swelling is a battery failure.
C port PCB or mobo failure more than likely...
If powered off does it charge?
There is a reason Razer no longer make phones
