[Q] Anybody else mad about wireless charging?

Ok I called powermat and asked about wireless charging for the Dinc, they had the balls to tell me that they had no plans to make a kit for the Dinc! I know that Duracell makes the mygrid and I have heard of people using the Droid charger on the Dinc, wanted to know if anybody on here has or if anybody else feels like me..

It sucks but its not a popular enough phone for them... He was just being honest instead of giving a round about answer

I'm not sureifnot popular enough is the right phrase. As this phone was impossible to get for fivemonths its probably a little behind on accessories like this.

Well i mean the phone was massively popular for a bit then a lot of people myself included just didnt wanna wait to get the phone and i know a bunch of my friends got other droids instead.

lol and well this is the exact reason we don't have any nice accessories which is very unfortunate....but it's stupid cuz I'd absolutely love this

Easy answer: Supply and demand.

I like the idea of wireless charging but I don't like having to switch cases every time.

lol if they did make it, wouldn't you just keep that case on it? or are they made not to handle the abuse?

I'm guessing it wouldn't be exceptionally durable. I use a Case-mate Tough Case because I'm so careless.

Dual HTC Evo Charging Dock

Just like the title says.
Im looking for a charging dock that will charge 2 HTC Evo's. I just bought my girlfriend an Evo, and basically at night I want to charge both devices on the shelf that is behind our bed. It would be really convenient if I could find this.
Yes I have searched the forum, Ebay and Amazon and have only been able to find a dock that charges a phone and a battery.
It doesn't have to have HDMI, Audio Out or anything fancy, just side-by-side or one in front of the other.
Thanks for the help.

doesn't exist. just going to have to use 2 chargers or 2 docks.

Its wireless in a sense that it doesn't plug into a wall or car...

if you want to charge it wirelessly your best option is to search for the touchstone evo hack, all other wireless charging solutions are terrible and add way to much bulk to the phone.

I thought of telling him that but I think he was being sarcastic saying he wanted to use it while walking through the desert so I posted a link to a solar charger.

Q. about High Capacity Gold Battery

I've found this High Capacity Battery on eBay.
What I don't understand well is they say: "Compatible With Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250(No NFC)".
Why do they specify "No NFC".
I'm wondering what it has to do with the battery? Is is voltaje/mhA thing? Is it a battery format (size) thing?
I have actually no clue. I thought all GNex had NFC, isn't it te case? Mine has the checkbox to enable/disable NFC but I haven't ever used it, so I don't even know.

Nfc is built in the battery.

Wireless Charging

With news that the Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb is being release in February, I'm curious to know if anyone has tested out this ability on their LGOG..... If specs are very similar to the Nexus 4, would the Charging Orb work....
It would be sweet to get this or some sort of wireless charger for our LGOG :fingers-crossed:

won't work

There has to be a wireless adapter usually on the back of the battery door for it to work. Unfortunately the nexus 4 has it, and the LGOG doesn't.
Some companies make aftermarket adapters for popular phones, however with a so called "non-removable" battery, it doesn't seem likely for us. But we can hope...

I tried to remove it. But its glued to the back of the screen. Didn't want to mess up the battery. LOL.

I read somewhere that with a little ingenuity and a soldering iron you could essentially make the OG compatible. Having never soldered anything in my life I ignored it, but try googling that if you feel capable of doing something like this.

I wonder how easy it would be to install the Palm Pre's touchstone coil in this phone, or if it's possible to install the Qi charging coil from an N4.....

I was wondering the same thing. I looked in the service manual and it seems that the same 2 powerpoints are on the Samsung Galaxy S 3 are also on this device. Can anyone confirm that these 2 points to the right of the battery are for charging contacts?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

I have a couple of touchstones around somewhere. My biggest fear for this mod would be the pressure from coil pushing on the inside of the glass back.

Wireless charging and case?

I've got the wireless charging battery cover from Verizon on my phone. It makes the phone a bit thicker. I was wondering if there were any cases out there that can accommodate the extra size. I currently use a Cruzerlite case that I cut a little bit to allow expansion but I'd like something a bit cleaner.
TIA for any input!
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

You can get wireless charging inlays that fit inside the original battery lid and as such don't increase the thickness of the device

Interesting, never heard of that. Do you have a link?

They're practically impossible to miss, just search ebay or any number of other places for "s3 qi inlay"

Has anyone experienced any issues with the inlays? I just got a wireless qi charger and the Verizon rear case for the phone and have just been putting up with the added thickness. I wouldn't mind considering the inlays though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

They make it a bit thicker and bow the back out very slightly.

To those who currently have a qi wireless charger. Few questions as I'm about to get one.. Does the charging pad get warm? Is it ok to keep plugged in or could it be a possible fire hazard? Stupid question, I know, but I have a hard time trusting cheap stuff from china, lol. Does wireless charging charge as fast as USB? Thanks!

Occasionally. Yes it's fine. And it depends on the pad and the receiver on your phone. Mine is 650mA so it's slightly faster than USB

I wouldn't skimp on the stuff tho. I spent like $50 for my charging pad. Its got two spots and it's made by Energizer.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

the pad can get warm but it's fine.
it's not going to blow up or anything.
you can also keep an eye out for the dt500 charging pad that nokia has for the lunia series. they go on sale often for $25.

1. Slightly warm when in use.
2. Yes, it's fine to leave it plugged in. My one at my office desk sits on top of a pile of papers and hasn't set anything on fire yet.
I personally own this receiver (which I use with this pad, though my pads are black rather than white), which works well though my lifeproof case. No dice with the Otterbox Armour case though.
I'd recommend avoiding this charger. It doesn't work worth a damn through a case and constantly connects/disconnects.

I have the same receiver inlay as compo01, using it with a variety of pads, including an official Samsung S4 one that I modded into an ugly but functionally awesome dock

my phone gets warm during the initial charging but once it hits 100% it cools down real fast. I can think of only one other thing in this case.. you might not be aligned correctly.. but i would not think that's the case since you seem to be able to get to 100% with no problem...

I have the Verizon and the monster watts WiQiQi kit. I mainly use the Verizon back cover even though it means I can't put a case on. The WiQiQi is a nice kit but when I use it with my preferred case, one with a stand , The screen distorts and bulges. But I put the WiQiQi in my fathers phone with an otterbox and he has no issues.
