[MOD][Q] Maximum protection from physical impact

I spend a lot of time imaging the best possible protection for my Note 2.
Those tasks are listed:
1. Best possible case.
2. Get rid of hardware keys usage.
3. No USB cable.
4. Wireless charge.
Solutions are those, but anyone are welcome to suggest anything better.
1. Genuine Otterbox Defender case.
Most of us know that hard case with built-in screen protector. Well done, Otterbox! You already saved my phones few times, Note 2 included.
2. No hardware keys at all. Possible or not?
In Note 2 we can activate the sleeping phone with GlanceView. This built-in feature makes me jump!
Other buttons are well virtualized with Button Savior or similar software.
OK, we cannot turn on the phone when it fully off. Let it that way for now.
3. No USB cable. We want to preserve the microUSB connector as long as possible.
Three sub-tasks:
3.1. Charging. See p.p. 4.
3.2. ADB. You can use wireless ADB, works pretty well.
3.3. File transfer. I recently discovered WiFi Transfer software and $2 is nothing too much.
4. Wireless charge.
This is definitely the most difficult task.
Let sub-task it also this way:
4.1. Wireless charging without the Otterbox Defender.
Easily done in many ways, usually with Palm Wireless charger, about $20 on eBay, and ready to use or self-made charging back cover/antenna. There are many topics on XDA and other forums, don;t want to bother you reading another one.
4.2. Making Otterbox Defender 'compatible' with wireless charging.
I decided to cut a circular hole in the back of the Defender Otterbox. The most difficult here is to correctly position the hole when we cannot be sure about as soon as no charging obtained through the thick plastic and rubber.
Now the tricky part. I could not make photos during the whole process, so going to try to explain the steps as detailed as possible.
-------------------
Step 1.
Obtain some cheap thin semi-hard case like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130793094841?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Put it on, position the phone on the wireless charger and make it operational.
Mark the plastic around the charger antenna.
Remove the case.
Step 2.
Use small scissors or knife to cut the hole in the plastic case. Put the case on the phone again and verify the position of antenna.
I wasn't sure in myself so had to buy two cases but succeeded with the first one.
Step 3.
Put the plastic case into the back half of the Otterbox Defender with the rubber on. So the plastic case with the hole is like a back cover of the Note.
Mark the circle around on the internal surface of the back half of the Defender.
Step 4.
Measure the diameter of the antenna. Mine was 55.4mm. I considered the radius about 28mm.
Use a kind of compass-caliper (if you finished your high school in XX century like me, you should know what is it) to draw a perfect 28mm radius circle on paper. Mark the center and cut.
Step 5
Put the paper disk into the hole so you can mark the center of the hole on the back half of the Defender.
Step 6
Cutting the Defender back half and rubber with 55mm head (I used this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/150957856573?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
Watch you eyes, hands and other valuable part of your body. Keep kids and noncombatants off.
Step 7
Use a sharp knife to clean the hole from the plastic and rubber residue, also clean what left from the cutting. We will need the plastic disk and the rubber one also later.
Step 8.
Verify the charging is OK., I succeeded in the very first attempt.
Step 9. Unfinished.
Sorry, but this step is 'under construction'. The idea was to use the plastic and rubber disks as s cover for the hole when not charging.
Still in development stage.
Very chaotic yeah? And no photos.
Well, I was temporary disabled with one working hand (right) and one working leg (left). To much free time made me extremely constructive.
So I didn't risk to hold DSLR in my hand.
Now I'm more or less recovered even allowed to drive. So photos will be added ASAP.
Also I'm more than happy to listen any critics and suggestions how to do it better/simpler or why not to do it at all.

Look good, I'll try this

Great work. I've always wanted to try out those add-on chargers. I've have a leftover Nokia charger that I bought for my Nexus 7. I would have to think that the module will fit inside the case after you pry it off. I currently have a thin magnet nestled in the case to use with my car dock.

Does anyone have url's for people in europe?
Ordering these stuff on ebay takes way too long and Amazon won't deliver most products.
I haven't found european suppliers that can deliver the pad + receiver + skinn for under 50euros

My charger broke the other day, the tiny wire strip ripped a little and it no longer charges my phone. I think it lasted around 3 1/2 months. Towards the end I found it somewhat inconviencing to not have a usb unless I took it out. I'm currently on the fence on if I'll buy another. However it was very nice to have.

These really aren't that great, I was forced to use the USB port since the stock rom is buggy/bloated because I use the PA Rom. My DT-900 charged hopelessly slow and being able to toss it on for 10 minutes and get 3 hours of charge is something I have to do sometimes now that my battery has worn down.

I would love to see pictures of the charging dock as well.

Just a quick note for everyone viewing this thread, there is a lot of info on this type of Qi Charging coil in another thread: External Qi Charging Coil.
Some of your questions might be answered in that thread, such as charging rates, and how it works. I've been using it for some time and enjoy it. About the only problem I have with it is that I want to add a chunk of steel and a magnet so that the phone will "auto align" to the charging pad. That and to hold the phone to the charging pad, as a slight bump with the case I'm using will cause it to slide right off.
Also one last note, if you are using a horizontal holster, it can snag on the usb plug. So make sure the case you are using protects the plug, or you are very careful. The Poetic case I have doesn't protect the bottom and top, and thus the cable can get caught by the holster. Vertical holsters work quite well with the Poetic case, you just have to find one that fits....

Looks great!! gonna build and report back later

AT&T had the Nokia Qi Charging docks for $5 plus free shipping the other day. It uses a barrel plug to charge, but great for permanent positions like by the bed or office. I moved my Samsung (microUSB) over into my travel bag. I'm actually VERY surprised how well the Nokia Qi is at "pairing" with my Verizon. I seriously just drop it on there and it starts charging where my Samsung had to be "generally" in the same area to get it to go. The Samsung still had play room unlike some of the cheaper $10 ebay models where it required exact precision to "pair" and start charging.
I don't know if the deal is still on but would be worth a look.
UPDATE:
Yup Still $5

[Q] Droid Turbo - Qi Charger issue

I purchased a Choetech T513 on Amazon to charge my Turbo via Qi. Several of the reviewers said they had a Droid Turbo. When I used the device, my phone heated up to 114 degrees, which can't be good. Furthermore, it only charged about 1% every ten minutes or so, regardless of whether I used a normal charger or the quick charger.
Has anyone successfully used a Qi charging pad with this device and had it work without setting the phone into dangerously high heat mode?
As you can see, the Choetech device had great reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...&qid=1431549415&sr=8-1&keywords=choetech+t513

I've never charged my phone with USB other then to test it actually worked. I use Qi every night or every other night. I experience almost no warmth during charging at all using a cheapie Qi pad I got off of ebay 2 years ago. I think you tend to get more warmth if the alignment is bad. The charging coil is a little closer to the bottom of the phone then the top so it shouldn't be centered on most charging pads. For this reason I opened my charger up and moved the coil slightly so my phone can sit perfectly centered on the pad. I have had Qi charging issues with a Nexus 7 2013 where it said it was charging but actually wasn't on the same pad. My Moto has never failed to charge perfectly. It takes about 5 hours for a full charge if the phone is at 1%.

I purchased a tylt vu from verizon and am still having trouble. It will recognize the phone, start charging, and then keep reassessing the positioning.
The issue is that I have a magnet on the phone backing that connects to my car harness. I moved that perpendicular to the phone, as close to the lens as possible, and the same problem still occurs. I can't figure out how to make this work. I thought the qi charging was toward the bottom of the device, not the top.
Other than removing the magnet, which doesn't make a lot of sense, how can I make this work? You'd think the magnet would enhance conduction.

I use the nexus 4 wireless orb charger and works flawlessly. Charging time is slower if I have daydreams playing but decent charging speeds when daydreams are turned off.

I got this charging stand off of eBay and it works great, no overheating. Item #161580812967. The only time it will get warm is the occasional time I use the Turbos rapid charger.

I've used qi for my last 2 phones, tends to work really well. I agree with previous posters that the area on the turbo is very small, and almost 2/3 towards the bottom of the phone. If you're not lined up just right, it will stop and start over and over again. try to align it right on spot.

If you notice the charger I listed above has 3 coils and works perfectly.

Exactly. On my Nexus 5, the rear circuit lined up perfectly in the middle of the charging orb. But with the Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) you have to hang the phone off the end of the orb for it to mate with the charging coil. Seems the Qi circuit in the phone is in the lower third, instead of in the middle (where it should be).
The LG G3 is like that too, so our phones are not alone.
My solution was to get a 3-coil charger, aka triple coil charger. Get them on Amazon for $22 - $28 with free shipping. Flat or tilt type, either design works perfectly with the phone, IF it's a triple coil charger.

Yes, it does. No matter where you place the phone on the charger it will hit charging coil, as it has 3 integrated all across the design, instead of just one coil.
I own both the flat and tilt 3-coil charging pads, and I like the tilt a little better as I can see display for notifications easy without having to pick up the phone.

Montar Qi Universal Car Mount and Charger

I was fortunate enough for Winnergear to contact me to review their newest car mount and Qi charger, the Montar Qi.
I have been using this for the last three days and am entirely pleased with the product.
I have not been able to find any faults at all with the design or usage of this product.
I will answer any questions you may have as soon as I can about this product, just ask here or PM me.
This arrived to me well packaged and quickly direct from Winnergear.com.
It is listed on their site at $79.99 and to me is worth the price, however they are currently running a promotion that if you share product on facebook and or twitter you get $8.00 knocked off the price instantly.
Inside the box you will find:
The Qi charger/mount
The base for the charger
A sticky pad to apply to your dash
A lighter adapter for power
The instruction manual

}
The packaging is fairly basic, listing all the materials used and manufacturing location.
The instructions are easy to follow and well written.
Nothing too exciting here but I took pictures for you in case you are interested.
You have to attach the mount to the base, this is simply done by loosening the nut on the base and pressing it to the mount.
Then just tighten the nut finger tight.
The base has a suction cup on it that has a sticky gel in addition to the strong suction cup.
This should stick to most surfaces including slightly textured dash pads and your windshield.
For heavier textured dash pads there is the included sticky pad, just stick it to your dash and then use the suction cup on the mount to attach it to the pad.
This sticky pad uses high quality 3M double sided tape to stick and should work on anything.
Once this is together and installed in your vehicle, just plug in the included lighter plug and the mount is ready to use.
This mount is fully adjustable and should work with any Qi compatible smartphone.
This includes phones that officially support Qi charging and ones that have an aftermarket sticker of any kind.
I am currently using this charger with my LG G4 and LG v10 without any issues at all.
To adjust this mount to fit your smartphone, just press the button on the bottom back of the mount and the bottom feet will adjust up and down.
Use this adjustment to align the center of your phone's Qi receiving coil with the Qi symbol on the mount.
The arms that hold your phone locked into this mount are curved to hold your phone better than any other mount I have yet tried.
They are also large enough that they should hold your phone even with the thickest of cases on.
The arms on this mount are strong enough to hold your phone through even the bumpiest of roads.
I put my LG G4 in this mount and flipped it upside down and shook it as hard as I could to try to get it to come loose and could not get it to slip even a little bit.
Once you have this mounted all of the ports on your device should be easily accessible, the bottom arms are designed so that they should not obstruct any of the ports on your phone.
As soon as you place your phone on this Qi charging mount, it should start charging.
I have had no problems with heat buildup using this charger.
This will also trickle charge your device once it reached 100% charge and maintain that 100% charge.
Last, you are still able to use the camera of your smartphone while you have it connected to this charging mount.
If you would like to use your smartphone as a dashcam, you can easily do that without worrying about killing the battery in your phone.
This is easily a 10/10 product.
The price may seem a little steep to some, but if you think about what you are getting here, it is well worth it.
I would highly recommend the Montar Qi Car Mount.

I did quite a bit of testing of cellular reception over the last few hours.
I have not been able to notice any difference at all with my phone on or off of this charger.
I tested 4G LTE, 4G, 3G, and WiFi.
I also checked Bluetooth range and it was also no noticable difference.

Hi. Just got the Monta Qi car charger. So cool! I have a Note 5. When I put the Note I to the Montar it showed wireless charging but not fast wireless charging on Note 5 notifications onscreen. I used a 5V/3.1A car charger & basic cable. Myou phone was at 78% charge already. I understand Montar does fast charging.
I tested the Montar & Note 5 pairing using the Note 5 fast charging wall adapter. Note 5 still only showed wireless charging in notification.
Does Montar support Note 5 wireless fast charging or just normal wireless charging?

If you have to connect something to charge, what's the difference between this and just connecting it normally without losing DASH charging?

maybe you just come home and put your phone on to wireless charging dock instead desk. And you dont care how long it will take to charge. I was on wireless charging on my previos phone (Nexus5) and it was perfect for me it feels good forget about charging.

I thought that I'd miss wireless charging, especially since I invested in Qi chargers in the house and cars but I found dash charge to be a LOT more convenient.

Same here. I thought I would miss qi charging, but I've been okay without it. I bought a couple USB-C docks for my nightstand and work desk. I'm not using dash charge on them but it charges quickly enough without it.

Purchased one of these and it arrived today. It's a bit picky with detection on my two upright wireless charging docks requiring it be sat at an angle, but it does work. Flat docks may work better. Charging time is assumed slower but I don't have an exact number. Last thing to note is the angled USB-C plug, you won't be able to pull it out without giving the ribbon cable some slack by moving the pad downward, so if you're using a case over the pad you may need to remove it on occasion as needed.

There is only one small strip (2cm x 0.5cm) of some sort of 3M adhesive. I haven't bothered taking the protective layer off to try it since it will be underneath a case and I anticipate having to move it to access the USB port anyways as I mentioned.

ok cool so it stays stable under the case without the adhesive. just ordered one. dash is great but the convenience of dropping my phone on a pad at night is great

Usability
Could you put this inside a case, and leave it in? Theoretically leaving the phone as a wireless charging device.
The question is: Would this work through a case? Would efficiency be decreased?

Depends on the case.I'll be putting mine between the phone and case. Its trial and error with thickness .though the manufacturer says i think like .2mm I'll leave it in all the time.kind of like a dust cover too

I got my hands on an ordinary flat charging pad and the phone properly charges positioned pretty much anywhere on the pad.

Cases typically aren't thick enough to prevent the system from charging unless the distance and position of the coils is already at its limit, like with my upright charging docks which were made with smaller phones in mind. Nicer and newer chargers will have multiple coils for better coverage. Case materials like metal however will prevent all charging through them, which is why wireless charging and NFC has been excluded from many recent phones. Increasing distance does decrease the efficiency but probably not to a significant amount in this scenario.
Certain cases will have tighter tolerances for fitting this device underneath than others. I would say the pad gets about as thick as a US quarter in the middle. You also need enough space around the USB port for the plug and ribbon cable. I will try the stock OnePlus 3 sandstone case once it arrives, but my current $3 clear vinyl case is fine, just a bit wobbly when laying on a flat surface.

Are you able to use the USB type c cable when you have the adapter installed?

You'll have to unplug it

got my adapter on Thursday.Got married Sunday and was out of town and in hotels for a few days so i got some good testing time with this. it works great. im using it with an anker qi charger. i have it behind a rubber case and i have no problems with it. it charges slow obviously but its stupid easy and at least with the anker qi charger there is a big sweet spot.

I must be missing something but this thing seems to me to be a power pack that you plug in via the sub port, however small.

It's a Qi compliant inductive coil for wireless charging

Ahhh. I though this small metal strip was all you needed. Should have paid more attention to it.

Just wanted to confirm that this wireless charging pad fits fine underneath the official Sandstone case from OnePlus. You will still have to remove the case to remove the plug to access the USB C slot, but other than that it works just fine.

Complete utter rubbish based on what it actually does:
1. Charges at only ~650 mAh rate (slow to hell, my USB PC & Laptop & Tiny client is faster then this, I can get up to 1400mAh with my set up(s) if not using DASH charge).
2. Can not plug OTG-USB, connect to a PC at will or use DASH charge if not removed.
3. Not all protective cases are ok with this external QI pad.
Based only on these 3, it's a complete fail...... and so on... until it is a complete and utter fail yet again.
Verdict: a total waste of money.
