and this is a simplified prototype to test fitment and other things.
it fits the GSM and LTE Nexus with a case on it. the touchstone goodies are inbetween the case and the phone itself. opening the phone was unnecessary.
right now the phone is a bit of a tight fit. need to get that sorted out and try again in a few days. also need to verify the touchstone will work with the gap i gave it. (.050ish)
look forward to hearing any comments you guys have.

looks awesome!

agreed really WOW shame i can't do such thing because don't have such machinery
are u charging via pogo pins or micro usb?

Only issue I see with this is that the placement off the touchstone would have to line up exactly with where you place the coil.
From what I see it wouldn't work on mine since my coil is much higher to avoid interference with NFC...looks very promising though!

i tried it and there weren't problems with nfc and the coil using beam and an id
and also IF there were problems it wouldn't matter because it's a car dock pretty much sure he's not using nfc in that case

Pretty limiting in that you've blocked off the phone's speaker and the headphone jack. Sure, some people use bluetooth for everything - but some don't. Just some food for thought.

Looks cool. Any way you can share a cad file of this. I drew a few up myself and I'd like to compare dimensions.

Impressive.
Does the thickness of the material interfere with the cam at all? IIRC it has a pretty wide view. That said, dude, it has a hole for the camera, good stuff

Let's start from the top
Charging through the pogo pins. charging rate appears to be around 750Ma, or around 40% an hour. It was good enough to keep my phone charged while tethered streaming a movie. So its good enough for me.
I realize I didn't leave any provisions for the internal mics or speakers to do their thing. Much less room for the headphone and USB port. I'm only making a few of these for me and some friends willing to conform to my apple-esque control over how their phone is setup.
The NFC works fine, planning on using an NFC tag to launch the car dock.
Not sure about the camera, I should check that...
T-Keith, PM me your email and I'll try and send you some files when I get it to a point where I'm happy (it fits kinda tight right now)
Thanks for all the kind words, I'll get some nicer photos up soon.

Thats just good stuff - would love to see this extended to a home landscape dock.

I'm confused about how/what is holding the phone in the dock.

looks awesome. You could start a Kickstarter to get funding. I want one!

Definitely looks promising. Great inspiration, I might see what I can come up with if I have some free time. This is just begging for some rapid prototyping fun.
I'd also love to take a look at your files. Great work.

Agreed! If you post up the cad files when you're done I can probably whip one up in my company's makerbot. I can try and figure out the cost and go from there. This is an AWESOME project!

Question.
If you've modded your case so you can charge using a Touchstone, haven't you already got magnets in there to hold the handset in place when using the Touchstone?
If so, then what does the plastic bit achieve?
I'm not trying to criticise, I'm just confused is all.

Did you ever make more progress on this? I use a touchstone in my car now but something to keep the phone a bit more secure would be awesome!

Most people are afraid to use JUST a touchstone in their car because if you hit a big bump then your phone could go flying. This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do, integrate a touchstone into a regular car dock so that you can just drop it in for wireless charge and not worry about your phone launching across the car when you make a quick turn. I think I'm going to try to modify an already made dock to fit the touchstone as the back plate, as I don't have access to a CNC machine or a 3D printer =(
EDIT: Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but I found a dock that looks like it'd be perfect to cut out the back and integrate a touchstone. What do you guys think?

qi charging question..

Just looking to get an opinion if something is due-able or not. The only thing i miss on my nexus 4 to my Htc one is wireless charging (qi charging) So i have been thinking of making a qi charging case for the htc one. This shouldnt be too hard... buy a mico usb male plug

You may encounter trouble because of the One's all-metal body. Your case will need to completely isolate the coil from the body for this to work, if memory serves me right. Admittedly, it is aluminum, so I'm not altogether certain it will be an issue.

I would really like to see something like this. A couple of challenges I think would be keeping the plug area on the bottom to as thin as possible and second would be to keep the case as thin and small as possible.
I wish you luck!

Post pics of it on the phone and let us know what kind of charger your using. It looks like you could rip off that coil and place it in any case if it's thin .

Definitely report on results. I tried to make something like this for my One XL, and while it worked as far as charging went, it was unpredictable and seemed to make the phone unstable, though I could never figure out why. I suspect it's not just the charging current but that the phone's charging circuits and drivers need to be tuned for wireless.

Qi-compatible wireless backplate
planning to replace my housing so wanted to see if while im doing that, i could use something like this inside the case or will it not work at all due to the metal?

you need the Type b for the HTC One, it seems to work but as it's only 500mA at 5V the charging is
going to be fairly slow
It is very slim and unnoticeable behind a tpu case, the connected usb does not stick out that far either
(about 3mm)
As it came from China it took awhile to arrive but the price is right

Thanks for letting us know about this. I'd not seen that, but it looks like just what I'd like to try and fit between my phone and case. The lack of wireless charging was the biggest reason I held off switching from my DNA to the One. I love the convenience of just plopping my phone on the orb charger during the day. The "type b" info is a big help. Much appreciated!

they are supposedly 750mA so should be a bit quicker to charge than the 500mA one I picked up

Works good, put it between my hardshell-case and the phone. Looks like the amazon-solution above is roughly the same
edit: Yeah, same as mentioned a few posts above... sorry for that. So, I can at least second that it fits quite well and doesn´t stick out much on the USB-Port

any idea how to use these universal receivers on my THL W8S?
my camera and my micro-usb port are in the same side, so the wire will cover my camera.
does anyone knows about an item that has longer wire so i can bend it around my camera?

this may not sound like the most logical idea, but isn't it possible to somehow use NFC for wireless charging, since NFC is about near field communication after all?

Nfc doesn't connect to the battery of the phone and the coil is not inductive as it is a derivative of close range rfid

A quick tip for the add on qi pads with the HTC one, as the USB is not in the middle you can't position the pad straight up or the curved back makes it hard to get a connection. Put it on a bit of a diagonal so the pad is in the centre of the back

A lot of cool, useful information in this thread. Thanks everyone!

What accessories would you like to see made for the OnePlus One?

As the title says, what accessories would you like to be made for the OnePlus One?
There are already custom back covers which you may put on, but what else would you like to see?
It can be from screen protectors all the way to cases or attachments.
Personally, I'd like to see a Dot View Case for the OnePlus One but way stronger.

It could be great to see some sort of wireless charging dock if it was possible for this phone (I haven't done much research about it at this stage). Maybe some OnePlus One exclusive portable battery pack would be cool to see.

Cases of course. I have a bad habit of dropping my phone

Yes if anyone finds a case please post link, thanks.

Wireless Charging
I'd like to see a back that adds wireless charging a la Galaxy S5. I understand that they probably couldn't include it due to costs but as an additional accessory I think it would be cool.

I'll definitely start a thread if I do, hopefully there is enough space between the phone and a case for the coil to fit.

are the spring pins under the cover for wireless charging? theres two sets of them, two pins on each side. in the samsung devices, its for qi and nfc. the qi coil blocks nfc on the batter so a helper antenna is added. i guess we will have to wait and see...

Hmm hopefully you can power the phone that way. I wonder where the nfc module is placed, if it's in the battery then I don't think my aftermarket solution will work without blocking the NFC.

http://forums.oneplus.net/threads/ifixit-oneplusone.5351/
apparently the pins are for the antennas that are built into the backplate. an internal qi receiver most likely wont work by being blocked by the nfc antenna in the backplate, and an external one would block nfc.

Yes it does look like the nfc coil is on the back of the phone. Dammit that means wireless charging aftermarket isn't possible without loosing the nfc capabilities.

I would like to see a flip case that replaces the back cover just like the flip case for the Moto G. It would keep the phone as small as possible while protecting the screen.

Looking for the perfect Qi auto Charger

Hallo everyone,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and I'm looking for a specific Qi Charger for my Automobile. I'm looking ONLY for a model that could be connected at the cigarette lighter receptacle, something like this one but with the Qi funktion. It would be perfect for me, someone knows where I could buy it?

I just made a Fotomontage und this is how it could be the look of the Qi charger that I got in my mind (of course with a Nexus 5 instead of the iPhone).

It's possible that it doens't exist a product like this?

There doesn't seem to be any kind of back to the cradle so can't even see if it's possible to make something for the coil. Would be brilliant if you could...similar to what I've been looking for.

Sadly I'm not an electro freak and I can't build it
I'm wondering how It could be possible that this product doens't exist in the whole planet...maybe are we wrong and someone knows one?

Maybe get an official Nexus 5 charger and a lighter outlet plug and fix something up with that. Since it has magnets in it, it should hold the phone in place pretty well.

I would suggest the official nexus Qi charger since it has adhesive capabilities so the phone does not slide off while driving....then find a usb cigarette lighter adapter to connect the charger to and you should be set. The nexus 4 charger has an adhesive surface and the nexus 5 charger has a magnetic surface to keep the phone secured to the phone.
I have not tried this...so use at your own risk but should work.

Something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7iIf6VkFXM

The nexus charger magnets don't seem to work with cases from what I've seen. I'm considering getting this dock and then attached the AirDock to the end. Bit pricey but should work well.

The solution i have came up with may or may not work for you since cars all have different interior setups.
So my set up consists of
-Nexus Wireless Charger
-Kenu Airframe Vent Mount
-Cigarette charger / micro usb cable
This works perfectly and not permanent in case you don't want adhesive disk on your dash or a suction cup on your windshield and have to reach for it.
Mount the well.. mount on your AC vent and then use that to hold the charger and run the cable from it to the cigarette lighter port and viola.
So far I've been driving with this for two days, using it as a GPS via Google Maps. Driving thru bad highways and still holding on strong.. Phone needs to be naked though.
Sorry.. I don't know how to post pics.. first time posting..

How about this? http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/LG-Car-M...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e8d32a5ea&_uhb=1
I've been using the Qi unit WCP-300 for quite some time (since Nexus 4). Stable and solidly built.

Haturaya, those products got always a usb cabel, i don't wont a cable all over my cockpit, that's why a solution like this one would be perfect, with a Qi charger instead of a USB connector.
I was interested in this model, but isn't compatible with the Nexus 5 'cause this one got the USB Connector inverted...
F**k!

At the end I just gave up the reserch of this perfect Qi charger and I bought this one (modified in the order to fit the big dimension of the Nexus 5)
I hope to see in the future this same model but with Qi charger, I would buy it immediatly.

shouldn't need the clamps its got magnetic mounts on the back. I want one of those

I know they aren't optimal, but I figured if it works it would be a good hold over until good ones come out for the G3 specific.

No didn't even register on the phone. It was only $7. I ended up ripping out the Quick Circle charging coil and putting it in my phone. Works a treat!

Im using this one; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HI8JYFE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No problems after all. Working OK with my F400K

So now its working? Awesome! Buying 2 right now.

Mine works as well, I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQ2GUFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
BUT it only works if i have the receiver stuck on the back of the phone in between it and the phone case. If I have it on top of the battery the signal doesn't make it through.. perhaps because of the curved nature of the phone and the NFC receiver on the inside of the back cover.

I was always under the impression that NFC and wireless charging interfered with each other unless it was one integrated unit. That's probably why yours only works that way.

Well I got mine and tried it out, and while it does work, kind of, I'm sending them back. The cable ribbon is so thin it feels like it is going to rip, it would also need you to bend it at a bad angle to get it inside a case or inside the back. I can't get a GOOD charging connection with my TYLT VU chargers, so it is going back.

The cable ribbon is probably thin because you need to bend it at weird/sharp angles and it has to fit in the cracks of the back or case. As long as you're not constantly pulling on it, there's really no risk of tearing. Connections are fine with my $20 chargers, I can drop it on pretty much anywhere in the vicinity of the receiver and it'll charge.
Charge rate depends on which receiver you go with. Most, including the ones posted here, are 500mA which is kind of slow. I should be getting an 800mA one soon so hopefully that'll pick up the pace. IMO, these are still better than switching to PMA.

Its not so much the thin that bothers me, it is how flimsy it is. I mean it could have some reinforcement of some kind you'd think. And it leaves the pad really low on the phone, probably part of the reason it doesn't connect well even with a QI pad a good as the TYLT VU. Just removing the thing to root my device was scary, I thought the USB plug was going to tear off and stay in.
I just bought 2 battery covers with integrated Qi/NFC for $23 each on ebay (my wife got a G3 also) so that should fix the issues for me. Not sure what the VU charges at, but with my Nexus 5 it was always great, for a heavy user like me, I was satisfied (Qi dock in my car too).

What kind of qi car dock do you have? I love the wireless charging and have seen a few posts you put on XDA. I ordered that back plate from eBay, hopefully it works OK and I had ordered the sticker from China but it seems like a pain in the ass ripping off the old one.

Do you have a link to the ones you bought? Also could you post some pictures when you receive and install them?
