In your opinion, how hard would it be to modify a case/back panel for the Glide, so that it has inductive charging support? I just saw a video online of someone internalizing an iPhone 4/4S charger, with only slight structural modifications (it had the appearance of no case on the outside), and was thinking that I might be able to do it to my Glide. At the moment, I am using a Body Glove case, made of rubber-coated plastic (the only one AT&T sells/sold for the Glide), and my best guess is that the case is about 3mm in thickness. I am looking for no actual phone modifications here (except for wiring the case to the battery, and maybe a modified back cover), so does anyone have any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
Interesting. There is a company selling those inductive charging mats. I believe there is a connector that plugs to our phone (micro USB) to work with it. You could buy that and try to modify the phone back panel and a case to add the necessary hardware.

I saw this, and figured that's what I was going to use. However, It looks as if the case for most phones adds quite a bit of thickness. I looked at another guide, which involved ripping up a Palm Pre back, soldering some things together, and using the Touchstone mat. As for whether or not that would work with a Powermat, I am not sure.

I've seen that guide, it was for the galaxy s3.
It looks like that phone has the two charging pins below the back cover; looking at the glide, I can't see them.
I fear we would need circuitry or at least more complicated wiring to make it work.
The one I saw was for the original Galaxy S. You may have seen a different one. The video I saw showed him wiring some things directly to the battery, if I remember correctly.
any progress
Hey there!
I found this thread as THE only one where someone imagining about the glide having the possibility to charge inductively.
any new info about it?
@a_p3rson: did you find a way to do it?
I would love to see it becoming true..

So far, the best chance I've seen was using the induction sticker on the back for the Palm (pre I believe), and wiring it to the USB port. I think that would work pretty well, though I am worried with how it would affect the normal function of the USB port. If anyone wants to try it (and share the results), by all means, please do so!
EDIT: It wouldn't be possible to wire the sticker directly to the battery, right? Of course, without causing overcharging/overheating/general harm/etc. to the battery or any part of it?
just throw it out there i have a extended battery from amazon it is about twice as thick as stock batter new back cover has large empty space between camera and batter pack i mean could put flash drive with room to spare in there would be easy to add some new hardware in there if need be for you power matt bought mine of amaxon for 11.00

I seem to remember the sticker on the Pre being really thin - like paper thin. Plus, I really am against cosmetic things like that (e.g. large back, extended battery), so an extended back shouldn't be needed.
However, I do know that the guide that I found (for the Galaxy S) said that it was possible by just wiring the sticker to the charging ports in the USB connector. The only worry I have is if the phone's USB communication would be affected at all.
If it is possible to just directly wire into the charging ports, there appears to be an easily removable panel directly above the microusb port that would presumably give access to it. I'm at work right now, so I can't exactly check, just puttin it out there.

Did you ever see if it was possible to hook the induction sticker to the USB port from here? I just looked at the panel, and it actually looks like there is a sticker that contains some wires going to the main board on that plate, makes me think that it could be an antenna of some sort, and that it might be kind of hard to deal with.

Hi!
I'm a little noobish when it comes to this and android in general so I apologize in advance
But I was wondering if there are any inductive charging pads that would work with the galaxy nexus? I've got too many cables going on on my desk right now and it would be nice to have the drop and charge type of thing going on
Any help would be nice! Thanks!
Well the Nexus has pogo pins, so I'm waiting for a pogo dock to become available.
Alternatively you could probably mod your Nexus to work with a touchstone.

Powermats are great, unfortunately unless your device is a popular one, they more than likely don't make a case for it, in which case you have to use the cube that comes with the powermat to charge your device.
I'm hoping that since the Galaxy nexus will soon launch on Verizon, Powermat will design a case for it that you can just drop onto the mat.

Actually looks fairly easy with the large pin solder points. Other phones require soldering to tiny pins.
With the battery cover design, I'd be afraid I'd rip the wiring off every time I pull it open.

I've got this, after a while i'm gonna try this inductive charging, with this spare part i won't have to worry about warranty.
you can see the white dot, one wire goes their, the other will just have to touch the usim card holder, this info is just a replica of one of the links with the i9000, it should be the same.
Galaxy Nexus has the dock pins. Two of three pins are used for power supply. I think is possible to tap into those with the inductive charging stuff.
I think I'll try the 12 dollars kit from ebay . it's just too tempting.

yeh, I know, i just dont want to mess around with the soldering of the original parts, if i do mess up, i can just discard the part in the photo.
Hrm.. rather than soldering, why not use conductive tape? That way it's completely reversible should you need warranty repair.
The contact terminals look large enough for a small square of tape to easily adhere to.
I cannot wait for the official galaxy S3 wireless charging kit to come out.
I got inspired by the Galaxy mod that was done by using parts from a Palm Touchstone cover.
ww.qianqin.de/2011/09/28/high-waf-inductive-charging-mod/
I am pretty sure, that I don't need to do an intrusive operation as the one in the link - I believe that Samsung made pins ready for it under the cover.
Does anyone know what the two 'pins' that are exposed to the left of the battery are for?
Thanks!

I have a feeling the wireless charging module will interact somehow with the two pins next to the battery.

But that doesnt matter in the slightest as i mostly charge overnight
that is great news! That does not look too difficult and it looks as NFC is not touched. Just the translation is difficult and not knowing what samsung wireless charging is about.

what happens when you place an induction charging compatible device on an induction cooking range? Will it charge the battery, or will it overload the circuitry and destroy the phone\battery?
I wonder what happens when you plug in the phone with usb while it's inductively charging.

I would think they would work together or one would be disabled by the other. Don't think they would allow both if it could cause damage.

I decided to get this phone over the S3 for a multitude of reasons, but one thing that has bummed me out is that I can't do the mod to use inductive charging. Is there a chance a case could be made to plug into the bottom of the phone to do this? Or any other way to crack the phone open and mod for wireless charging?
I didn't put this in the accessories section since modding might be an option.
the case option is possible using an induction coil but care would have to be taken to make sure the proper voltage and amps are flowing through the coil before plugging it into the bottom of the phone. If you can solder it should be possible to mod it directly into the phone. I put up a quick design for a case using my autocad but I haven't had time to do much of anything besides xda read/reply...
I'm curious about this too. I looked in the service manual and found a similar power point used in other mods for the touchstone. Has anyone tried to mod in this way yet?

From the pictures posted in this forum for the disassembly to get to the battery, our phone does not even have the same contacts as our sister phone (Nexus 4) to accept a wireless charging coil. Wireless charging would have to be added to this phone by tapping into the USB port either internally via a hardware mod, or externally with a low profile USB port and a charging coil integrated into a case.

hmm.... well, I guess that makes sense since pretty much nothing else on this phone is the same as the nexus 4, except of course that LG makes them and they both have a glass back.
I could swear that somewhere in XDA I had seen someone do a mod like this to the AT&T version and now I can't find it. I need to cut the lucid dreaming apparently.
I was able to put the coild and little magnets in the back of my phone case... so now it sticks to my touch stone... I have not soldered any wires to 5v or grnd on on the phone at all.. That is beyond by ability currently i will look into it. Looks like the nexus 4 has simple prongs already there (for the orb) but they did not include those prongs in the optimus g sprint or att. so either me or someone that is far more skilled will need to figure out where those points should connect to before doing so.
Sorry guys didnt take picture i was a little early to work this morning and did it at my desk before work started. took about 30min. (remember no wiring just simply put coild and magnets in my phone so it at least sticks to the touch stone in my car)

I think that if we follow the same fitment guidelines as in that N4 tutorial, we should be okay. The internals look very similar. We'd probably have to tap into the USB port's power for it to work, as we don't have the Qi charging coil.

Alright, I think I have it figured out. You'll notice that the dude from the Nexus 4 tutorial soldered his red wire onto the side of a black diode labeled "A/W". After taking apart my spare LGOG, we have that same A/W diode (it's microscopic), but it's angled a different way. I think if you solder the positive wire on the the pin that's on the side of the A/W diode facing the battery, and then ground the negative wire onto the exposed copper plate that's next to the screw hole (and right next to the A/W diode), this *may* (no guarantees) work.
I Guess i did it!!!! i soldered the two wires to the tiny diode and then to the palm coil that i just got today in the mail. everything works but there's something hard to do and that is fitting everything in there, i already tried and had no luck the thing has a little back belly lol.

Awesome news. Pretty cool. I wonder if the same thing would work with a Qi coil. Qi is probably the way to go because it definitely has a thinner profile, and plenty of OEM's are coming out with charging bases for it. You also don't have to align any magnets for it to work.
I have been reading some very interesting posts about adding wireless charging capabilities to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Although it seems like every mod requires a touchstone coil, which also requires a larger back cover. Browsing ebay I ran across a "patch" of sorts that goes between the case and the battery to add the inductive charging. I was wondering before I buy it and rip apart my beloved phone. Could I just solder the "patch" to the pogo pins on the side of the phone and would it charge? Or am I missing a component? Thanks in advance for any help!
On Ebay it is called "Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad + Receiver Kit for Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV i9500"
Also this is my first post, so any comments would be helpful too!

That's what mods are all about, people have successfully mod the palm touchstone coil into their phone and it works flawlessly.
In theory this would work, but how OP are going to connect it to the pogo pins, that's another problem.

Oho Thank you. it very good
Well I was thinking that if you take the phone apart there is a spot where the pogo plugs connect to the circuit board. I thought I could just solder a thin gage wire to the leads, but does that patch have the correct circuits to supply 5v with the right amount of amps?

Check the specs of the induction charger.
Anyway for the touchstone mod, others used a copper tape instead of a wire.
Beamed from my Maguro.
I have a s3 a couple of the s3 qi cards. I have my gnex as a backup and did the mod myself. If you peal the top label off the card around the pins you'll be able to desolder the s3 connector and solder a couple wires. I used a couple fine wires I removed from a old ide cable. I then used a dremel tool to cut a small rectangle under the battery door and behind the pogo pins to connect the wires. I used a very small cut off wheel, took my time, and cut shallow and never took the phone apart. The pins are easy to solder to and much safer. This did disable my pogo pins, but I have no dock so I don't care. I have the Samsung OEM 2000mah extended battery and back cover. This leaves me a small gap to lay my wires without any battery door bulge. My ditztronic case still fits perfect and the wireless charging works great. Its worth noting that the qi pad will provide around 600ma, which is fine since the dock pins charge in USB mode anyway.
BTW, while I think the safest and easiest way to get to the phone's circuitry is to cut that small hole, you are putting a dremel to your phone so I am in no way responsible if you somehow kill your phone.

Sounds good, let me check and give and try.
Hey everyone,
I am really keen on having Qi charging and already have the pad and everything. I am looking to make the move to an extended battery (not the official one, which I hear works with the pads, but rather an ebay one, 4300mah, 4500mah etc with extended battery doors).
I know this will cause the contacts to be elevated above the spots requiring contact with the pad.
How are people overcoming this? I'd rather not solder to visible contacts inside the phone, and was curious how others have accomplished this and kept a consistent connection without permanently affixing it with solder?
Thanks!

I purchased the recommended copper tape but had no success.
Are there steps somewhere in the forums that could show you the steps?
I do not want to solder anything to the contacts.
Thanks for your help
search this specific forum. there's a link or a thread here with a step by step.
Hi this post is a bit old, but I think very relevant today. Most tags will not work with an extended battery because of where the chip is located. I'm finding that it needs to be lower and the only ones that do that are the ones with a longer contact neck. I just purchased a 6400 ma battery and back cover for my s4... and discovered my qi I receiver tag will not work... unless I fool around with it a lot like putting a bunch of tape underneath that neck part to raise it on the short version. But with all that little bit of extra tape makes the back cover insufficiently loose because it can't snap-in because it's too thick of a battery. But I played around with a little bit as I told you above and got it to work but I couldn't keep the back cover on. So my in-enept modification failed... I read a review on Amazon or a gentleman got it to work but I notice his cute a receiver tag had the longer neck. I know the company tylt makes one, & I am calling him in the morning just to verify that is the one actally still selling.
Extended Battery + Qi Pad, Back Plate Doesn't Fit
I'm having a similar problem with my Galaxy S3 extended battery + Qi charging pad. I was able to modify the Qi charging pad to fit above the extended battery pretty easily, even though the end result is a bit kludgy. Basically I just soldered two thin wires to the contact points on the charging pad then used a piece of foam to space the wires appropriately. I wrapped this in electrical tape and tinned the ends so they'd make a solid connection to the phone contact points.

This worked great, except that the extended back casing that came with the battery doesn't fit properly when the Qi charging pad is inserted. The back plate that came with the battery is made of hard plastic so it won't bend leaving me with an extended battery + Qi charging but no back case. All the back plates I've seen on eBay look identical to the one I was sent. I'm going to try heating and molding the back, or perhaps sanding it down (though it's already pretty thin) but at this point I'm not super confident.
