Feelin like a boss, have an extended battery cover... I don't like the idea of prying apart my GalNex though...
Could I wire the inductive coil to the battery directly? Like stuck them between the battery and phone contact pins? Not a good, sturdy solution, but I just don't like the idea of phone disassembly...
I also thought of making an inductive case that connects to the Pogo pins externally....
thoughts?

I think some people have done the inductive case before; it shouldn't be too difficult. That said, I don't think attaching it to the battery is a good idea.
For what its worth, the disassembly for this mod was not hard. Just take it slow -- you don't actually have to start undoing ribbon cables and the like for this one, you can do all the parts with copper tape (until you solder the tape to the coil, but that doesn't touch your phone.)
Curious about this. Let us know what you do.
Keep me updated, sounds awesomenessesseesssss

You could but you shouldn't. That would bypass the battery charging protection circuit.

I have an (expensive :/) Incipio two-layer case... Thinking maybe I could put the coil and magnets in between the silicone inner layer and hard shell outer layer...
I'm open to suggestions, I'm a little uncertain about getting the wires to line up with the pogo pins...

I just don't like the idea of taking my phone partially apart... This is a guy who takes just about everything else apart, but I feel like phones are particularly fragile, you say be careful, I say I can't upgrade if this one bites the dust.
In the end though, I don't *need* inductive charging.

I started a mod like this on an iPhone 4 that would no longer charge. I was going to have to wire directly to the battery and that was a concern. If I had another good coil and charger, I would certainly give it a go. I've taken many phones apart and never have issues. Were you using the coil from a Palm device?

I haven't actually done anything with it, but I have the Palm Touchstone setup, coil and all.

That's what I was figuring. The mod I did was using one of those external battery power pack deals that worked with the energizer pads. I had to rip it apart for the coil but could still use as an external battery charger through the USB ports. I just don't have the pad to test my work. Ugh.

Oh that's a good idea, get an external battery case... Generally that's an iPhone-only ordeal.
Is it for Touchstone or Qi? Apparently the two are incompatible.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well, the case would have been the easier solution but it would no longer charge through the port so a hard mod straight to the battery was necessary. What I used was just a rechargeable external battery with wireless charging that had a micro USB cable to plug into phones and also a micro USB port to recharge while away from the power pad. I didn't have the pad so the coil wasn't important to me. I just hardwired straight to the battery but don't have a pad to make sure it's working. I just reassembled the battery and can still use it as I always have with cables. I only bought it for emergencies for times away from outlets. It was an energizer battery pack.

May I just advise caution to anyone thinking of doing this. The charger should be held in by the prongs locating properly. By bending the metal it stays in place by pushing against the middle pin which is usually made of plastic and could easily snap leaving you with a much more expensive repair than the cost of a new cable

I tried 3 cables and two charging blocks and it charges slow. I downloaded a battery monitor app and it says it's charging via USB port even though its connected to the wall outlet. What can I do to fix this? it just barely started.

What chargers are you using? Are they set up for Iphone charging?

All the one I'm using came with the phone.

My stock wall charger slowed down significantly after about 4 months of use. Now it only puts out about 400-500ma tops. It used to put out roughly 1700ma when new.
I have an old HTC mt4gs charger that is rated for 1 amp. It consistently puts out 1200-1350ma when charging the phone from below about 50%. I prefer that charger for most of my charging in a hurry.

I have two note 2 chargers and they both are doing this . I have to keep unplugging and plugging it in to get it to recognize that's its a wall outlet

Have the same problem and cant figure out. My solution is im using neak kernel which allows you to increase charging current which actually helped. It charges a lot faster. Is it taking you about six hours to fully charge?

Yes maybe longer

Not sure what rom ur using but neak and devil kernels allow u to change the charging rate. I had the same issue with my chargers. Not an issue anymore.

Only options would be to use a rooted stock rom and flash one of those kernels or buy a new charger.

The usb port is on its own pcb and only 8 bucks to order. My s2 said it was charging when it wasn't, unless I held the wire at extreme angles. It had pins loose

sorry for some reason i can't use the quick reply.
i have found my issue of slow charging to be resolved by using a shorter usb cable. i was using the stock one and it seemed to slow down a lot after a few months. i tried the usb cord my wife uses, which is like 6ft long and it seemed to not charge at all. i then bought a short, 1ft monster usb cable and it charges so much faster. even faster than the stock usb cable
and rednewor
I've noticed that the shorter cables tend to wear out less rapidly as well. Wonder if it has something to do with there being less...well, cable...to get worn down from movement or whatnot. We used to go through our charging cables relatively rapidly, in just a few months, until we moved to short ones.
My last string longcord, though, hasn't been moved from its home since the first time it was plugged in, and is going on about 5 months without hassle.
I'm now on my 3rd S3 which thankfully is still covered by warranty. I really would like to avoid having to go through this over and over but I'm not sure how to avoid the charger port not working properly over time. I don't think I've done anything really to provoke it. I think the case might have angled the port a little so I'll likely stop using that case
I'm curious though - is anyone else experiencing this? Looks like I can do self repair but it would require soldering skills which I don't have

It looks like that is the case. I'm going to try it out myself. Ordered the receiver from Fast Time and a Nokia wireless charging pad from AT&T

I'm having a similar issue in that I cannot charge the phone via the USB. It starts to charge but then the LED goes off. By the morning I am down to 3% charge after 7 hours of being plugged in. I have tried 3 different batteries, 4 cables and ac adapters. I reflashed to stock and then had a Samsung guy at Best Buy reflash again. Same thing happens. The only way I can charge is with an external battery charger or if I use an iPad was charger with my USB cable...go figure.
My S3 is only a couple months old, but so far, it's holding up nicely. Is the issue actually with the charge port, or with lint from your clothes preventing the charger from connecting to the pins in the port?
No phone could have a worse charge port than the Evo 4G. I was lucky to never have an issue with it, but I know tons of people did.
I cleaned the lint out, but it still would not work properly. I also tried different batteries, cables, wall ports, usb ports, everything.

There is two pin near NFC contacts.
Il you connect 5V wired cable you can charge battery and shunt usb port.
if it is the micro usb on the phone that is banjaxed and it is to difficult/expensive to repair you could always get a back cover that supports wireless charging and a charging pad
Is it phone or charger micro usb problem? If phone port is out of order then you can buy dock battery charger and one spare battery . After charging put battery in phone and keep other battery for charging in dock. If cable is out of order then you can use other mobile microusb cable too as I am using LG phone charger. however one has to be careful as different adapters
you can get those wireless charging docks which uses NFC.
Thanks 4 all da support
