[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.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App

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.

CHOETECH Stadium Qi Wireless Charger and Edge Cases

Hey everyone, not sure if people are still on the fence with some of the Wireless charging pads out there but, here's a solid solution.
ChoeTech Qi Charger
I had purchased a couple of the Durcell Powermats and only 1 of my 3 cases would charge with it. So, I decided to try another one.
All 3 are working flawlessly ....
Obliq Slim
Spigen Ultra Thin
Verus Card Slot Case (This is the one I really wanted it to work with).
Obliq case poly bumper
Some may not be as pumped as myself, but it's nice to see a decently priced pad work so well. Figured I'd share what I found out, since it might help others considering their options.

I got the same thing for my diy car mount and it works awesome. 3 coil is the only way to go in my books.

Thanks OP! Really appreciate that. Just ordered myself.

Did it work with the slot case while cards where inside? I bought two of the disappointing PowerMat chargers and it's annoying to have to remove it and then place it just perfectly on the charger. Defeats the entire purpose of wireless charging for me, convenience.

I can confirm it charges with two cards in the slot (Debit card and Driver's license). Really loving this wireless charger.

Those durcell mats really let me down... I should have known better with them being so cheap. I hated taking my case off to charge the phone.

Yeah my duracell powermat has a hard time charging through all but my thinnest case. And even then I have to reposition the phone precisely for it to work at all. I got a couple of those CHOE Qi chargers and they work through all the cases I've tried so far.

Just received mine and it works flawlessly! I've got 3 cards in my slider case and it still charges without issue. Haven't had to mess around with placement of my phone either, super convenient. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Glad it's working! Go Cubs and Go Kris Bryant! haha.

I have a Ravpower wireless charger/stands. These are also 3 coil chargers as well.
http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-RP-W..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1429553662&sr=1-1
The real pain in the ass is that the Speck Candyshell Grip case is spotty to charge on it. It stops charging at random intervals and then picks up and charges again. If the case if off, I get no interruptions when I wirelessly charge.
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1429553865&sr=1-2
Be careful if you get this Candyshell grip case. Its a great case, but the issues with wireless charging suck.

yup, 3 coils is the way to go hands down. stronger charging and also you can place anywhere, no need to fiddle around on where to place the device which was annoying on the Duracell mat.

Also having issues with the Duracell one not going through the case.. will pick up one of these!

I can check when I get home from work, but googled it and it's 10.6mm (0.42 inches). According to Choetech

I know I have mentioned these previously in this thread, but I have a pair of these and they are nice if you want to have a stand.
http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-RP-W..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1429709797&sr=1-1
There is a bit of a price premium, but I like having my phone standing up facing me here at work and at home. They also convert to laying down as well if you would like. The triple coil works wonders as well. I highly recommend them.

cases compatible with wireless charging

I am looking for cases that will work with wireless charging. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Most case on the market will support wireless charging, the typical distance for Qi wireless standard is 5mm. Therefore just make sure that your case is not too thick.

little late to the party, but I love this case:

Anything that isn't a brick and doesn't have a magnet in the back over the charging coil will work fine.

I've got the otterbox defender and that works fine with the latest Samsung wireless fast charger. Not sure how it goes with any other chargers and I don't think there's any cases that are thicker. Possibly the aluminium backed cases wouldn't work.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

I was going to post a new thread, until the "Similar thread" feature brought this one up.
Otterbox defender wirelessly charges using 2 different generic QI pads.

I modded a wireless pad with magnets to create a magnetic wireless charging dock

I always loved the idea of snap on wireless charging of the Palm Pixi, so when I bought the S7 Edge, I wanted to have a similar effect.
I modded CHOETECH Fast Charging Area Qi Wireless Charging Pad with some 1/2 x 1/8 Inch Neodymium Rare Earth Disc Magnets and added some 15/8 x 1/32 in N52 Neodymium Magnets in between the case (you will likely need a TPU flexible case since hard ones will be tough to conform around the magnets) and the phone. I now have a magnetic FAST wireless charger for my car where I just need to snap in my phone and it charges. I, unfortunately, sometimes go over bumps on the highway at 80+mph and have not had the phone move a bit.
This should work with ANY compatible phone with wireless charging.
The entire process is easy, here's a quick video I made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAoC0CrEuMw
Not mentioned or shown in the video is my supergluing the magnets into the case and the into the charger so they do not move.
Edit: Tip from Milimbar, put tape over the magnets so it doesnt scratch the glass
I'm using a Kenu Airframe+ vent mount and a piece of plastic in between the the wireless charging pad and the kenu.
Overall, this is not a cheap mod/car dock. You could get the cheaper, non-fast charging wireless pad, split magnets with someone, and get a cheaper vent mount.
Fast Wireless Charging pad: $35
Kenu Airframe: $30
Magnets: $13 and $12
Total: $90
Edit: the only reason why I had used the 1/2 x 1/8 magnets is because I had spares from a previous purchase. JaredC01 makes a great point that you can combine a few of the 5/8 x 1/31 magnets together to form a stronger magnet.
Cheaper option:
Non-fast Wireless Charging Pad: $26
50 count 15 x 1mm 5/8 x 1/32 in N52 Strong Disc Rare Earth Neodymium: $12 (oos at the moment)
Wizgear vent mount: $10
Total: $48
Some images of the mod:
http://imgur.com/gallery/WUj4r
Quick gif of it in action, in the car:
http://i.imgur.com/6ClCxUJ.gifv
Issues:
If there is a magnet at the bottom right of the phone (while facing the back of the phone), auto-brightness and the lights of the capacitive buttons will NOT work due to the smart case sensors. Just go ahead and remove the magnet from that position from the case and the charging pad. The 3 magnet positions will still be more than enough to hold the phone up.

Another poster said his S7 edge held onto a magnetic stand in his car. Does this work without your magnetic case? Only tea on I as is I want to mod my car charger to be wireless charging with magnets holding the phone vice the squeeze system it uses, and not having to worry about a case would be cool? Though I'm sure I'll eventually find a case I like and can mod it with the magnets.

Looks nice, you know what they say about necessity right....
I would put at least a piece of tape or screen protector over the magnets so they are not in direct contact with the glass.

I'll have to test later but it probably does because of the wireless charging coils inside the phone. If this were the case, it would not charge since there cannot be metal or magnets inbetween the coils

The wireless charger is a big plus with magnetic mount ? icing on a cake i just hope nothing affects it in the long run

Awesome idea, though for the magnets couldn't you have just used all of the smaller magnets and added additional magnets to the base side (stacking them like coins) for a stronger field?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Yeah, good point, I had some extra thicker ones, but, yes that should work!

Good post! Thin metal disks could be enough for your phone. To save money, retail packaging uses a magnet on only one side of the connection.

I've made about 4 of my own charging docks. I played with magnets for a while but what I really love is micro suction foam. Stuff is amazing and works on any case or phone with a smooth surface. Here's what I made for my car. I took a standard wireless charger. Encased in epoxy. Then cut it into a square. Wrapped in aluminum and put microsection foam on the face.

Thats a great idea. Is there a specific microfoam that you buy? Care to link the items you purchased? I might play around with that as well.
Do you have to clean the microfoam from time to time otherwise it loses its grip?

With the magnet case on my phone, I noticed that auto-brightness does not work and the capacitive buttons at the bottom never light up. Both are negligible for me but I can see the auto brightness thing being an issue for some. I have NO idea why these two things dont work. Right when I remove the case, they work fine.

I have used this stuff before. http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Direct-AirStick-Microsuction-250mmx300mm/dp/B00ITX9OU2. If the suction starts to wear off just wipe it off with a damp cloth and let it dry and you are good to go.
I would also like to hear about the results on using magnetics for the back are need or not due to the metal body. You should try it with the case and no magnetics and with our the case too.

So I tested points on the phone where it is magnetic:
http://i.imgur.com/t7hFvOU.jpg
However, other than the center, these arent really strong pulls. If you use the center as a magnetic spot, wireless charging will not work because that is where the coil is.
I also found out that if theres a magnet at the bottom right (while facing the back of the phone), auto-brightness and the lights on the capacitive buttons will not work. Bizarre. I just removed that magnet from the case and all is well again.

I'm not a storage expert but according to my knowledge about memory, we always had a strict no magnets rule.

Awesome idea! You made a unique fast wireless car charger! This Choetech fast wireless charging pad must be the best option to make this kind of fast wireless car charger. It is long and wide enough with 3 coils to keep steady charging with your car mount.

Why don't you just use the circular stock Samsung fast charger or the other CHOE one?

I would use the AirDock's Long Flexible Mount + CHOE Square Fast Qi Charger + Wizgear's mount piece (to makeshift attach the mounting piece to the back of the CHOE charger for use with AirDock) + the magnets OP mentions + cut nano suction for the top.

Nice post! May I ask what background that is on your S7 btw?

Question Best magnetic wireless car charger + case combo?

I have been looking at Mous but they are very expensive. Are there other options? Also, possibly nicer cases that work with cheaper mounts? I am open. I even heard people doing hacks with metal/magnets and cases.

I'm using Samsung's fast wireless charger and Samsung's S-Pen silicon cover and works great. I also tried SPACE transparent TPU cover and didnt cause any issues with wireless charging

Moue or pitaka, if you want smth that is designed to work together but both are kinda expensive, pitaka is more like a skin and don offer protection so mouse look much better for the price. Or just get any case you like and Xiaomi Wireless Car Charger 20W or similar.

Thanks, I have looked at both Mous and Pitaka. I would have gone with Pitaka because the price point is acceptable, but I agree that the case doesn't offer enough protection for me. I am trying to find something that only uses magnets for the convenience. I have been using one now and I am spoiled. I wonder if there are any cases out there that will work with Pitaka mount or a mount that will work with the Mous case? I can't bring myself to spend $100 on the Mous mount. I also don't want to have metal on the outside of the case. I want my cake and eat it too.

That looks cool and I may get it, I am specifically looking for a magnetic car mount that can charge wirelessly that doesn't cost an arm and a leg like the Mous Limitless 3.0.

Oh my bad, didnt read the CAR part.. sorry aorry

Has anyone tried ohsnap with their wireless mount? It sounds economical and could work but I heard it doesn't have a strong hold and doesn't always charge right. It also sounded like those people may have not taken the time to put it on the right spot in the back.

Have you seen this Unisynk holder? You can use it with any case..
