hi
my pixel 4 xL broken the wireless charging after the march update, until now, i upgrade to the android 12, but still can't get it work. anyone have this same problem? or anyone have solution to fix this?
Hey!
I mean, Wireless charging is something that is rarely broken by an update, though it's possible. Here is what I recommend you to do:
Refresh the whole firmware of the Google Pixel 4 XL and use the latest version version.
If it still doesn't work do the process again, but this time flash the the version of Android that you remember had no problem with Wireless charging.
If nothing worked I would recommend you to try using another Wireless charging, if you don't want to buy a new one you can try one on some tech store on your city.
If nothing work I am sorry but your Wireless charging coil is broken, and you need to fix your phone.
Fortunately it's very easy, you just need to change the back cover or just replace the wireless charging coil which is glued down on the back of the phone. Here is a link to fixit's web page with a guide on how to fix only the charging coil, though if you want you can buy a new back glass for 40$, just check it had all the camera sensors.
Hope this helps you!!! ;D

I've had two P4XL's replaced under warranty, one as recently as a month ago. The same thing happened on both of them. The battery swells in the middle of the phone, separating the back glass from the frame around the volume buttons. I didn't see it until I took the case off and inspected the phone. Google has extended warranty for battery related issues if you purchased the phone directly from them. Check your phone carefully for this swelling and glass separation.

That's strange, battery swallen is something that happens, but the device need to be very hot to for that to happen( like the battery need to be at almost 50 degrees, and should be older than 3 years).
Though if you can get it replaced that's a good idea
upgrade to android 12, but the wireless charging still not work, so maybe the wireless charging coil is broken
Nothing to do with 12. Charging coils are flexible and don't break. Batteries swell and their fragile connections do break. In the picture, the back glass is separated from the frame, indicating the battery is swollen. It is flush at the bottom corner but bulges in the center. This is an extreme case, yours may be more subtle but you have to rule it out.

I'm looking to buy a replacement battery cover for my Sony Xperia in black. Anybody know where to find one?
Thanks!
I second that, looking for a replacement cover as well..
Keep an eye out on this site http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-c-28_638.html, so far they just have a placeholder for the X1 but they are a great resource for OEM replacement parts. Hopefully they'll start stocking X1 parts soon.
yeah i would like to get one so i can drill a hole in it. seems like im always resetting this phone and i hate to keep taking the cover off. im afraid it might not stay on after so many removals.
This is the battery cover of my x1 !!
That hole is so pratical!

Hmmm... that drilling isn't exactly top-notch. How was it done?
i think it looks good. what are the dimension from either the top of the battery cover or bottom. what drill bit size also.
thanks.
put a small piece of paper soaked with ink in the reset button hole. Then close the battery cover. Open the battery cover and you can see the exact point to drill.
You must use a mini-drill, like dremel
Am looking for a replacement battery cover too. My week old X1 looks 100% brand new, but unfortunately, I made a small dent on the battery cover by accident. If this was an old phone I wouldn't care much. But, mine is barely a week old......
I email to sony support, I'm in HK
and they said the battery cover need HK$280
I still thinking buy or not, cause the metal battery cover is too easy with scratches
unless your phone freeze, u dont need to press that reset button, there are softwares that let you softsoft.
when phone freezes, holding the "panel" button usually get out of freeze.
I also would like to buy new battery cove (silver). Somebody found where can we buy new cover??
Thanks
if u do have scratches, i suggest u remove the cover, grab a tin of brasso and nice muslin cloth. Polish the cover you would be amazed at the stuff a polish from brasso can do. Again recommended only on the cover.
i have done it on my x1 and my ipod. Both look as good as new.
I am looking for a cover too, so i can buy one and get vodafone to reimburse me, are they made of a cheapo material, mine got really scraped in my pocket within a few hours, but nothing else was in my pocket and its a cotton/polyester pocket...
Ric
When i was doing a mod on the cover (drilling a hole for the reset), i found that it was hard to drill thru. i think its made of stainless steel. anyways, i got the silver one, you might be talking about the black x1 getting easily scratched on the battery cover because its painted. i dont know if thats a true statement, just an assumption.
The black ones are anodised and not painted.

Does it mean it is possible to poish it in a way if there is a scratch there?
I have some small annoying scratches that i hope to be able to remove, maybe wait for replacement battery cover to arrive at cnn.cn
Hey guys!
I think I found the perfect combination of car mount+car charger for the HD2!
NOTE: Links are listed at the bottom of this post. Also, I am in no way affiliated with the sellers.
I was searching all the available mounts on Amazon (I didn't want to spend money on shipping I have prime) and each one of them was either too flimsy or expensive.
Then it dawned on me that I could may be use the EVO's car mount, I checked this site and sure enough, they have really close dimensions.
I took the plunge and bought a mount and guess what? It fits the HD2 perfectly! The mount pivots about the center ball joint which itself is attached to a goose neck allowing for almost infinite adjust-ability. The orientation can be locked in place with a thumb screw near the ball joint. The best thing is, the whole thing stays quiet solid and doesn't jump around when on uneven roads (at least in my rental car)
I also wanted a charger and I found a genuine Motorola 1A charger (most of the others were 500mA) and while using GPS navigation, the HD2 consumes ~400mA or more depending on the screen brightness, Bluetooth etc. That only leaves ~100mA or less for charging the battery which is five times less than what USB provides. You can imagine how slowly the battery would charge.

Hope this helps someone!
looks great
I thought I would start a new thread but it's probably not necessary.
I have strongly considered OP's combination for days a few weeks ago and I found some similar items @ Monoprice with the monoprice kind of price, if you know what I mean. I give you a quick review if you're shopping for these.
The (universal) car mount $3.57
The mount is definitely bulkier than the one OP recommends but overall it's certainly not a bad product. Once you figured how you want to position it, the mount is pretty sturdy. My only regret is that it won't stick to my dashboard as I would thought but it's because of the texture of the dashboard, not because of the suction cup of the mount, so it's stuck to the windshield. For less than $4, it's just awesome.
the 5 volt 1000 mAh car charger $1.78
The build can be labeled as 'a bit flimsy' and I have yet to drive with the phone plugged in with GPS to check the battery drain (or lack thereof).
I can tell the phone charges with Winamp playing. It is no real surprise I know but it is the main use when in the car. Cord could be a tiny bit longer but it's a good deal.
EDIT: 2 months later
the build is definitely sh***y. if you let it too long in the power outlet, a piece a plastic breaks and the thing doesn't work anymore. Could be easily fixed but I won't bother. Monoprice nicely replaced the first one without asking but now my second one broke and I'll get the motorola one from amazon.
I got to grab a $3 BT headset and I'm good
look great, thanks
Hi chvvkumar, after reading your post I have decided to buy the same car charger from Motorola as you have. I would like to ask you if you could let me know how much mAh does your phone show as receiving when it is charging.
When I tried mine, it was receiving about +/-450mAh, which is what I normally see when I use the normal charger.
Thanks for the information.
The mount looks just like mine - over 12 months old, lives attached to the screen, gets used most days of the week, don't remember where it came from apart from it was Ebay
a good couple of £ investment
I've noticed that through all these stories of cracked backs, that no one has bothered to talk about the back of the phone. It seems to be removable with the screws on the back and comes off as a whole piece like so:

What does this mean for someone selling backs? I feel like if that was an option, they would be loaded in cash, I mean there can't be that many crucial components on the back-plate (I have only heard that the NFC antenna resides on the back), so you could make em' cheap and sell them for like $40 to replace the once whole and now shattered remains of the sad glass back known as everyone on the XDA's phone backside.
According to iFixit:
Step 8
The rear cover of most phones is a ho-hum piece of plastic that serves no real purpose other than covering the battery. That is not the case here.
A number of pressure contacts power the NFC antenna and connect the induction coil needed for wireless charging to the motherboard.
With "wireless charging" listed as an official tech spec for the Nexus 4, we were anxious to try it out on our device. Alas, the phone doesn't ship with a wireless charger. Boo.
Two years ago, Google brought NFC to the smartphone realm with the Nexus S. It's been a long road, but the technology seems to finally be catching on.

I am sure there will be a market for it to some extent.
Else we will have issues where you see kid nappings where ppl are slipped a ruffie in vegas and they wake up in a tub with the back of thier phone missing.
I certainly hope someone eventually starts selling replacement backs but I disagree slightly about the purported simplicity of offering up a replacement.
Sure, the back is not irreversibly integrated into the rest of the phone, but there is a whole lot more built into the back assembly than say perhaps the other classic example of a mass production phone that had the misfortune of featuring a glass back, the iPhone 4/4S. Say what you will about apple on a myriad of other topics, but at least on the 4/4S design the rear glass was not integrated into any other part of the phone, you could replace it with 2 screws and for 10 dollars.
The problem with the N4 is that I shouldn't need to replace the entire back assembly of the phone, just the finicky glass plate. However, that is bonded to the back of the phone with adhesive and it remains to be seen if there will be any viable way to replace it... but I'm assuming not.

This isnt really on topic at all, but it reminded me of this: xkcd : Ice
That said, wonder if there will be third party backs made of plastic?
There are antennas in there (at least the NFC ones) and it will be more expensive then a plain plastic one with nothing, but at least i'd satisify those among us that wish it didnt have a glass back.
Coming from a nexus 5 I am totally addicted to Qi charging. I have a Qi charging car dock, one on my bedside table, and one at the office. I was disappointed to learn Samsungs Qi back added some pretty significant thickness to the phone, and the third party Qi receivers seemed to add a bump on the back, and made battery swaps an awkward process.
So, I ordered a Qi receiver for 7 bucks to experiment with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381033899497
When I got it I noticed the vast majority of the thickness was due to the wrap around adhesive, and labeling on it. I carefully pealed that off until I had a bare circuit board, and Qi coil. Then I noticed these things don't actually clip on to the charging contacts, it just kind of lays there, and with no adhesive it would just use the back cover to keep it in place. So then I had an obvious idea. Why apply it to the phone when you could just apply it to the back cover? I lined it up on the phone and put a dab of hot glue on the back of the card, then pressed the phones back on. A few minutes later I popped the cover off and was left when the Qi coil perfectly aligned on the back cover.
I put a couple strips of scotch tape on it to keep it all in place while testing it out, but so far it is working perfectly, and I can swap batteries without any awkward Qi coil floating around to mess with. After I add some magnets to it for my car dock I'll put a bead of superglue on it.

Whats the output? I tried the palm pre / touchstone method on my note 2 and then i fitted a qi setup with a qi bed but both options only outputted at 500ma so took a full 8 hours to charge, which is a big contrast to the 90-120 mins plugged in. I bouhht a battery kit and that worked out to be a massively better optikn for me since i no longer needed to put it kn charge at all, just swap out the battery and ive gone down the same route with my note 4, but if the module is outputting at 1a or more it might be wirth looking into this again??
It's rated for 1 amp, but to be honest I don't really care. I charge it before I go to bed, and it is charged when I wakeup. and that's all I really care about. If I need to fast charge it before I head out for a long day I can always plug it into the speed charger.
I use qi charging on the ebay coil I purchased and get about 890 ma on my note 4...
My second TP went dead and there symptoms are exactly same as the first. There is a black patch on the screen and it doesn't charger or power on. Here is a picture:

When this happened to my first one, I presumed that one of my kids did something nasty and threw it away. This time, it was in my care and it just developed the patch, sort of like overnight. The previous day, it had trouble charging and turning on, so I left it to charge overnight. When I put it in the charger, the LEDs were blinking fast, like the battery was way low. In the morning, it already had this patch and it was not powering on.
It is very strange that this would happen twice, so thought of asking around before throwing it away.

Is it possible that the battery bulged and pushing on the screen? The shape, size and location of the patch are exactly same as before, so I am suspecting that it is something caused from with in. Besides, as I already said, this happened overnight when there was no chance of something putting pressure from outside.

I noticed today that the display got pushed up so much that it started separating. It is a sure indication that the culprit is the battery bulging and pushing from inside.

It is the battery. I have had this happen on one Touchpad that I have had since new and I couldn't get it to come back on. Another that I bought through shop goodwill had the same issue, but I put it on my touchstone and it recharged and the bulge went away as the battery charged. I am fairly confident that replacing the battery will remedy the issue; I just can't find a battery cheaper than around $40 new. Can't justify that when I can find these tablets for $25 or cheaper...

Thanks for confirming! You are right, I don't notice that the batteries are pretty expensive. There is no point in trying to repair it, especially that it is considered hard.

Grab some guitar picks, a 'splunger' and a tiny (#0) Phillips head screwdriver and have at it.
It's not too difficult. The guitar picks keep the case separated as you go around it with the splunger.
If it is swollen from battery bulge, go slow when opening the case, there is a lot of stress on the connectors.
The first one I did that had battery bulge - I broke all the clips. I had approached like I did all my other repairs - oops.
Where are you all finding the low priced batteries? I haven't seen any for awhile.
Dang, I wish I could stumble across one at a thrift store
I charged my TouchPad fully after not using it for several years and was amazed to see that it's still working perfectly!
It's still running CyanogenMod 10 (android 4.1.2). Startup animation and graphics look amazing even in 2018. I think I last booted it 3 years ago. Thanks CM team!
BUT - there is an hourglass shaped spot under the LCD screen that is new, and a HUGE BATTERY BULGE - bending the screen and frame. But everything is working perfectly.
Hmmm..... I wonder if it's safe to use!
I could replace the battery on it and put android 7, etc. But I just powered this on to see if it worked, and didn't want to invest further.
Surprisingly, someone here (on a closed thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/battery-warning-t3540780) suggested puncturing the battery with a needle and squeezing the air out, which may or may not release toxic fumes. The price is right, so I may try that - outdoors, before deciding to order a new battery (or just recycling it).
Think it's safe to use as is with the big bulge?
