Hi
I am looking for a way to charge HD2 without need to allways plug usb cable to mobile.
Inductive charging would be great, but we are not that far, but HD2 has power connector under his back cover, it is there for charging with car kit. Possible solution would be to use back cover with charging connectors and appropriate charging base. So I would just have to lay my phone on charging base without any connectors.
Is something like that on market?
Thanks
Martin
nope..........
There is in fact such a thing, but i do not know if it would work with the HD2.
I have seen something of that nature at cebit or something, really cant remember which computer convention it was, but it has been reviewed in various mag's
hxxp://www.berryreview.com/2009/10/30/gadget-of-the-week-powermat-wireless-charging-pad/
(change hxxp to http)
I have seen an inductive charging pad system at Carpone Warehouse in UK.
Technically, i suppose it would be reasonably simple for a company like Powermat, or other inductive charging manufacturers to make a replacement battery cover for the HD2 that ties into the contacts on the back of the phone, which were originally going to be used with the car holder, before it got redesigned, and allow recharging of the battery.
Well... Inductive charging... Would be nice.. But:
There must be a coil build in in the back cover and some regulator hardware. That is making the back cover thicker. This might be no problem if they do it right.
An other posible problem is the induction itsef. It is close to the electronics of your phone. What will happen with the signals and even can it damige the electronics?
I would like to have it, but only when it is tested and no risk of dameging the phone and disturbing the signals.
Well Powermat make back covers for iPhone, Blackberry, Nintendo DS so it can't be doing that much damage
has anyone seen a power mat backplate yet ?
I believe from the CET and CeBIT 2009 and 2010 technology was shown for the integration of current wireless charging in mobile phones. I believe HTC has added a second charging connection just below the battery, behind the battery cover. Perhaps a flat coid can be placed at the back of the current cover. The coil can be connected to the secondary charging connection. It was previously inteded by HTC to be used with a special battery cover that connected to the first concept model of the HTC HD2 carkit.
I believe Duracell or another battery company demoed a wirless charging system that could be integrated with current mobile phones. Maybe it is a start to look there?
Even if it worked for hd2 it would charge the battery at very very slow rates (typically @ less than 80ma)
I never have my phone charging through usb...only into my pc when im copying files or flashing Roms
I just got a spare Battery & Desktop Charger, as i work 12hour shifts (listening to music) it comes handy having a spare battery
As long as inductive charging is in it´s childhood-state it´s another waste of valuable energy.
Not for the single phone or person but taken together the ever increasing billions of users it´s a massive waste of resources.
Did You know that the worldwide use of internet (PCs, Notebooks, Netbooks, Phones, Servers, transmission lines, amp-nodes etc.) consume already more energy than worldwide car-traffic ? Should make You think ...............
Hello,
Two quick notes: The Palm Pre battery cover coil has its terminals on the correct side and very close to the charging terminals in the chassis of the HD2, given the amount of room in the chassis. Unfortunately, it looks like the EVO has a larger battery cover, and from the pictures I doubt that the coil assembly would fit length-wise under the HD2 cover. I'm not sure if there are electronics in the "tail" of the assembly, but if that could be removed I think it would be easy enough to find terminal block that would fit in the indent of the HD2. If you look at the Palm assembly you can see the bulge for the coil, the four bulges for the stabilizing magnets (?) and the terminal, I can't see what would be in the tail besides maybe a diode.
Unfortunately, though, the cover of the HD2 is made of metal, which I think would cut down further the efficiency of the inductive coupling of the coils, maybe critically so. If they're using 1A 5V supplies for the base, it might push the supplied charging amperage low enough that it wouldn't be useful. So I think that until someone fabricates a plastic cover, adapting the Palm Touchstone might be difficult.
I do have to disagree that the use of the principles of induction is anything but mature; these inductive charging systems are basically loosely coupled one-to-one transformers, if I'm not mistaken. Engineers made excellent use of inductive coupling a long time ago, if nothing else those tube amps that some folks like so much sure did.
Regards
Any idea what the order is for the contacts below the battery?
I have my palm pixi cover and touchstone. I plan to remove the cover and attach everything to a hard plastic back cover. I just need to connect it to the right terminals.

Unfortunately I have yet to find the pin-outs for these contacts. Please share them if you find the information.
You might get some information from this hack created by Derek Hughes. It looks like he has had a similar idea to yourself. Unfortunately he does not use the hidden contacts under the battery cover, instead he just re-routed the micro usb port, kinda messy and a bit impractical.
This hack was carried by many of the phone and tech blogs. But the links below are from Hackaday.

Good luck.
Can we combine or close this in favor of this one?

I haven't been able to find any info about a possible wireless charging adapter case or hack for nexus 7, but thought itd be cool if there is one. I found cases for iPhone 4/4s but none for Andy
Anyone know of a company selling wireless charge adapters?
I would like this too...
I'd say just go over to the galaxy nexus forum and find the thread about what they are doing to get wireless charging done on there, and just apply it to the nexus 7. It should be just as simple to do.
Ok

Ill have a look, but just sayin that hardware wise the Nexus 7 and GNexus are not that similar, its more the software.
ill look anywayz tho :silly:
When i say it'll be simple to do, i mean it. It should be exactly like what you would do for a gnexus, literally. You would do pretty much exactly the same thing, just subbing the nexus 7 for the gnexus, a different case for the case they say to use in the thread, and it should work. As for charging though i've read though is that it wont' charge via the pogo pins when the screen is on. That's the only issue i would see with wireless charging.

Here we go. Get case for tablet, get suitable wires, get pogo pins to install into case. Get charging dock and back plate (that you'll use for parts), modify case to put in parts of back plate that are used for wireless charging. Put popo pins into case in appropriate spot. Hook up wireless charging part with wires to the pogo pins that will touch the appropriate pins on nexus 7. Set tablet down on charging base. Profit.

Ok, right. I missed the fact that it was for a case setup!
Then, could you give us some example of charging dock and back plate that would do the job (I just find PALM Pre Touchstone Kit).

If i use the Pogo pin's internal connections to hook up the adapters, it won't work. They currently only charge when the device is in bootloader (powered off or fastboot. Not sure about recovery)
I have opened it up. There are some wires connecting to the battery. Do you think its a bad idea to remove the insulation temporarily, add my own connections, the n cover it again?
I don't want to do anything that is too risky though lol.
I'm not currently looking into adding this to my tablet as an internal addition. I would recommend checking in with the threads of people who are looking to add this internally. As for a charging base though, you could use the palm pre one as that's pretty cheap to get, or maybe even modify the charging base and backplate that you can pick up from powermat. I personally have a charging base that i got to use with my HTC thunderbolt that is the same tech as the palm pre. That tech from what i understand is the standard while powermat does their own thing and isnt' as interchangeable as the standardized ones would/will be.
I don't want to f*** up my device
I don't want to fubar my device, but my friend has smashed his screen and can't get any good offers for it. I may buy it off him just to try adding wireless charging. If this went well, I could post instructions (and pics) of me redoing the mod on my (non smashed) device. SOunds like a plan to me What do you think?
That'd be awesome, I was searching on Google for a wireless case for my 7 and came across this post. I'll make sure I check back on this thread and hope you are able to get it to work.
Not sure if it will be any good but I have ordered on to see
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Type-C-...986680?hash=item4d44193db8:g:g2UAAOSwt7pXNIHp
There only seems to be one type ATM
and it supposedly charges at DC 5V/1000mA (depending obviously on the transmitting charger)
It's available from Amazon as well but they all link back to China
Early days, here's hoping I don't blow up my 5X
Yes it blocks the USB port but I always SMB stuff from my nas box so that's not a problem.
You're lucky if you ever get even 500mA out of it. Every Chinese Qi pad vendor overstates the power on their product. Still, nice to have the option. Let us know how it goes

Iiinteresting, ordered one of those through Amazon. Even if it's only 500mA it'll be nice to have, I just hope it doesn't mess with NFC stuff. Looks like it shouldn't given that the antenna for that is near the camera according to the manual.

The receiver coil looks bigger than the ones I've seen before so maybe 1 amp is a possibility, i'll let report when it eventually gets here.
Quick review
Got the pad now and here is my initial review
Clearly the photo on the advert is a bit of a lie as the coil is about half the size as you can see in the photo below.
The pad is situated to far too the top on the Nexus 5X and sticks out where the fingerprint reader is. This can be easily fixed by cutting a bit off the top, as the coil does not come right to the edge this can be done without ruining the receiver.
THe bit that plugs into the USB socket sticks out which is a bit annoying but not the end of the world.
On my Zens dual Qi charger it took just less than 4 hours to charge from 36% to full so it's not super fast but not that bad over night. The phone indicated slow charging and was AC charging by the battery usage page.
It seems to have no problem staying connected as long as you are aware where the coil is on the pad (towards the top) and has no problem charging through my case
It does not appear to interfere with the radio antenna at all so thats ok.
Also it's super slim so should not interfere with most cases
So in conclusion its fine for me as I rarely need to charge the phone except for overnight, and I have not been using the faster charger anyway.
In case anyone is wondering the case is a Nillkin Matte Super Shield Hard Shell Case which is super nice though the black was a mistake

Nice, thanks for the update. I'm still waiting on mine, it'll be nice to have wireless charging again.
edit: I did get mine today... it's a bit flaky at best, currently i'm blaming the qi charger, i've got a different one on the way.
Good to know it fits under a Nillkin case, as that's what I have for my Nexus 6P. I ordered a receiver on the 25th, hope I get it soon.

The charging on mine seems rock solid but the zens dual does have a pretty big target area to put the coil in.
See the screenshot below the charge looks pretty rock solid

While fiddling with it the qi pad I have it only really works when the thing is outside my case in one exact spot. So... given that it worked fine for someone else I went hunting on Amazon and found a better looking unit.
We'll see Saturday when it gets here if I chose the right one.
Woot, got a full charge overnight with the new qi pad so that old pad is basically crap.
How thick is the pad? I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove as many unnecessary part from it and try to fit it under the back cover of the phone. And also solder it directly to the charging board so that the USB would be still usable

it's not very thick at all and any generic Qi receiver would probably do as a few people already have.

There is padding over the battery on the back case you can remove if it's too thick
Has anyone else been having problems with theirs?
For a couple days now it's charged to full and then the next morning it'll be less than 100%. Yesterday it was at 89%, today it was at 93%. I did verify it was at 100% yesterday before I went to bed.

I don't have one of these, but I might have a possible explanation. I used to use a 0.7 amp or 1.0 amp charger for charging the 5X overnight. Seemed to work at first, but then it started showing less than 100% in the morning. What seemed to happen from the battery graph is it would charge to full, then start draining (slowly) and not top up again. So I think the low power just didn't trigger it to start charging again once the battery drained a little.
I put it on a 2 amp charger and it now is 100% in the morning. If your phone acts like mine, it might be due to the lower power from wireless charging.

Yeah.. I was kinda thinking that a little, good to see it confirmed. Not sure how much the pad was getting but the sending unit was only drawing ~1A so that's the issue there...
Oh well, it was a nice experiment, would have been better had it actually worked though. Back to the included charger it is then.
Just a note from years of experience with these Qi chargers:
There's some inherent loss in efficiency. Essentially, your wall charger is working to spin current around in a coil, which then by magnetic induction causes current to spin around another coil (in your phone), that then feeds into the battery. It's indirect, there's no contact, and some phone materials can even impede it (just one reason these stupid metal wannabe-iphones luddites keep demanding are a terrible idea ).
Bottom line is - you need a charger that's over an amp, closer to 2a if possible, to spin some of these Qi chargers up enough that it makes a large enough field to get to the Qi coil in your phone and charge it efficiently. Ones that come with tablets seem to work fine - I have my Nexus 7 charger on my office Qi (which is angled and serves dual duty of holding my phone for easy reading and viewing).
I'm actually more interested personally in an internal Qi option - solder it in, invisible.
True story - I did that with my S3 before I got an S5, and it worked great. Didn't have to bother when I got an S5, since they sold an optional Qi battery door for the S5. ...don't get me started on my hatred of the design philosophy that excludes removable battery doors.
Anyway - I just picked up a 5x, reluctantly ditching many of the features I had on my S5, to try Google Fi service out.
Wireless charging is something that I'm very interested in - I have wireless chargers literally installed (meaning: hidden, routed wires) in my car, office, and house, specifically to avoid that dorm-room spaghetti-everywhere aesthetic. "Wireless... it's not just for convenience anymore."
Hopefully there's a thread with step by step instructions on a good Qi pad and identified soldering points to install internally?

Such a thread exists. Someone also offers a service doing the soldering for you. I might be able to find it...
Here is the mod:

EDIT: why did you mod your S3 when you could have dropped this in?
Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
That may exist today, but certainly didn't exist when the S3 was the current flagship phone.
Back in those years, the popular (and nearly 'only', here on XDA) modification was to buy the Palm Pre battery door and charger (non-Qi) and use those parts.
Since Palm had recently gone bust, $20 would get you all the parts you need - including Palm's proprietary charger base, a receiver sticker, even a charger.
And honestly, I have to say the Qi charger gets much hotter than the Palm system, so there might be an argument there for it being technically 'better than' the Qi systems. Qi is simply the standard today.
So now with the news that there are some accessories(chargers and cables) that are not compliant with the USB type C specifications, I wonder if these wireless pads are compliant with the specification?
I am considering buying an Xperia X because of the Wet finger tracking. My current Samsung doesn't support that, and since I do a bit of lobster and crab fishing, and I use an app (Fishing Points) to note what I get and where I put the pots, I am rather annoied with the Samsung since any drop of water on it will mess up my usage. And trying to dry out a phone in a small boat is kind of annoying. But then I see that the X doesn't support Qi wireless charging, and I have that in my home office, my car, on my motorcycle and next to my bed. Going back to where I have to actually plug in a cable seems so incredibly stone age. So are there any solutions for Qi compatible wireless charging that works on this, and that doesn't compromise waterproofing?

Thanks, I see that you have that phone! You mean with the flat cable going into the battery bay? I did look into that, but found that it will compromise the waterproof seal. Or is there a way to do it that doesn't?

It's a receiver that connects through the USB port of the phone, it do e's not affect any waterproof seal, although you probably need to dry the usb port before charging, this is the same with all phone if it just came out of water.
Thanks! But do you mean that I have to plug that in every time I need to charge the phone and then put it in the Qi charger, or that it's stuck to the outside of the phone? In the first case it's really just another way of plugging in a regular charger...

Go to ebay and search for qi receiver, there are many available, although depending which one you get will vary in quality.
Yeah, I've seen those. I'm afraid they will be ripped off in my pocket, I think. So maybe the best bet is two phones and a twin SIM, so I have one for regular use and one for fishing. Or wait until spring and see if Sony gets their act together and actually deliver an expensive phone with the most common wireless charging option.
Just use a case with the receiver, sony knows about qi, they have a offcial qi case for the Z5, but decided not to use qi, and opt for fast charging instead.
Good point, a thin case with the receiver inside would probably be a good solution! Thanks! And Sony didn't think that one through. It makes it less likely that Samsung people, who often have a bunch of QI stuff from their phones, will convert. Fast charging is OK, but I prefer to put the phone into the car holder or on the bedside table and start charging without having to plug anything.
This one could be the right type:

nillkin has the best receiver so far if you are in for a USB receiver, unlike the one's sold on ebay, they just use a thin sticker with the circuit in between, the nillkin uses thin plasic, and is very stable, I have the nillkin one for my XP and V20. USB is availabl;e in two version, A and B.
The offcial sony one is pretty thick, not worth buying, but that is for the Z5 only.
Thanks! I'll get that when I change phone, then. But the picture is of a case I can use on the phone, not a receiver.
In case anybody else wants to try this, it works. But not with the pictured case, that creates pressure on the back of the phone which gives color blotches on the screen. So I found my solution in a so called "Slim Rubber Gel Case Cover" and the Nillkin receiver. Problem solved, and it works quite nicely. I rarely need to to connect my phone with the USB, but it's quite easy to pop off the case and remove the receiver.
So, the Note 9 4000 battery up time doesn't compare to the Mate 9 4000. So, I need to get a battery case if I keep the Note 9.
I lean toward the 5000, BUT...it looks like there is no screen protection, ie. rubber bumper around the edges.
The 10000 looks like it has some protection around the edges, but it is a solid brick.
I've reviewed the many others by reading reviews on Amazon. I actually liked one there that had a kickstand, but there was something quite negative mentioned (don't remember now what) that made me discard that.
If any of you have one or the other, I'm interested in your thoughts.
