Hello everyone,
Im going to make an wireless charger for the Galaxy Note
I will be using this : http://dx.com/p/194469
To make an wireless Charger, I will be getting an Hard mousepad, (one with foam, then a layer of plastic) and will take the plastic off, make space for the charger, and for wires. i will be connecting it via USB (hope it works)

I will be using this : http://dx.com/p/222256
To make the galaxy note charge
Now how?
Im saw this video on how someone made it work himself, and i though i can do that too, without having wires out of the back
Im using the same method but i will be making the wires go to the side of the device (next to the battery) and make it look like the galaxy note 2 wireless charging "port"
I will be doing wires along the side of the battery (under the cover ofcourse)
(dont mind this pic,its not mine, its from google. (dafuq, nfc?))
This is a cheap solution, i hope it works, I yet have to recieve all the products before i start to work, i will be updating this when i recieve products

Maybe it would be wise to use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rechargeable-External-Protective-Battery-Feature/dp/B008D2I4RI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375708689&sr=1-2&keywords=power+pack+galaxy+note, so it ingerention into the phone itself won't be needed?

Looks awesome! Great job!
I wouldnt be surprised to see people asking for these...
love it man. i bet you could sell them through xda easy
I'd buy one! You should put it on the XDA market. Looks amazing! Great work +1 +1 +1
Thanks...I could of made it nicer, I just did it during some free time at work today. But appreciate your commments thanks....maybe ill add some carbon fiber to make it more flashy
No kidding - you should sell those. Pretty nifty looking!

Looks badass!
How much for one?
Thanks!
Thanks! I dont know if I would have time to make them to demand....but Ill try to make a couple just for fun...Ill keep you guys updated on that...as for price..I really wouldnt know...I figured whatever is cost of shipping plus a couple bucks.
Also only way I could make them is to set it for a naked vibrant since any cases would not aling with the micro usb due to size differences.
Edit 1: Also, Would you guys use your stock vibrant usb cable?
Edit 2: I could actually make simple docks without the charge port like this
Yea I'd use the stock usb cable, update when you have some available for sale

I would buy one. If your original one uses the stock USB connection I'd prefer that. I use the invisible shield so naked fit is fine as well.
On It!
Ok guys, I have started to work on some of these, I might have some done next week but not sure yet. Im also gonna make a couple simple ones like the one from a couple posts up... Ill update when I have some ready, thanks
nice dock, unfortunately my stock cable SUCKS. After a short while of using it, the cable no longer maintains a proper connection. I have to hold the connector at a certain angle or else it will disconnect, and sometimes even switch back and forth between connected and disconnected really fast causing problems for programs trying to access the sd card. I had to go out and buy a blackberry cable.
Sweet im definetly buying the one in your original post. honestly you've put the dock on samsung's website to shame lol
Feel like its very important accessory. Please share info even if its not Samsung made.
Last I read it was due out in late July according to some third party accessory stores. Nothing official from Samsung though...
http://galaxytablife.com/2011/07/galaxy-tab-10-1-hdtv-hdmi-adapter-due-out-late-july/
thank you for the info. I hope this adapter works with wifi model. Because with gtab 7 wifi model hdmi dock does not works and it's official from samsung. Hdmi dock works only with Gtab 7 3g models.

Anyone know if Apple's 30 pin connector works with the SGT? They look similar, and keep appearing in search results for one another. If so, the 30-pin to hdmi dongle (I'm n00b & cannot post links but it's on Amazon for $44.99) for the ipad2 should work, no? And if so, scoffing the price and the number of cords/connections required to get this going.
No, Apple adapters are not compatible. Yes, they are both 30-pin adapters, but those 30 pins are mapped out differently, making them proprietary.
CHECK THIS VID OUT..

ok, I got so excited I went and bought the dock. And it doesn't work, maybe there is a way to get it to, but it just goes to dock mode and never displays. I have tried multiple displays and no go. Anyone want to figure this out? I have a $10 donation to you, waiting.

lol do you have a stock ROM or Touchwiz one ?
i have stock rom . Rooted. Does the touchwiz interface based rom work with the dock?
i think so but the i/o tab didnt have it tho
do a nandroid backup and try a touchwiz ROM real quick to see

Bought it from Samsung Korea ..
Just tested ... you need to hook up power to the unit (ie there's a piggyback 30pin that needs to be connected to POWER) before you can view it on the TV .. so it's daisy chain (Tab to adaptor, adaptor to USB power.. adaptor to HDMI

Very good point .. and I found out all the 7" tab stuff works on the 10.1 adaptor
mg: just saw the manufacture date for the HDMI :lol:
15 Jul 2011 :lol:
I didn't plug it in. I will try with the ac adapter when I get to work. I flashed the touchwiz rom so if it works I won't know if touchwiz helps.
ok. Works! Needs to be plugged in to the AC adapter but I don't know if you must have touchwiz. I am betting you must considering that without you get the dock constantly running when you press home. This does not do that.
Hehe good ! And i dont think you need touchwizz to make it work, did it fit the whole screen perfectly ?

It does not fit 1080 screens fully. Touchwiz keeps the home button displaying when on the television and fills what it can. Different than what the xoom does. But it does probably fit a full screen 720.

Hmm .. mine display fullscreen .. and I noticed on the youtube video when you play movies .. the tab is blank while the HDMI is running ..
mine displays on both .. ??
great job guys you really make work easier for everyone. Will hit thank you for all.
I flashed the bonsai rom to check and see if the experience was any different. It too shows the bar at the bottom. With the zoom I was annoyed the bar was not there. But when it is there it does not fit the screen fully. I hope that becomes a choice in the future updates. Also, seems flash staggers when using HDMI. Maybe just something that is holding off the real updates from Samsung.
Thought I would share this nice find.
I wasn't too sure about it, however the seller confirmed they would work, so i took a punt.
1900mAh Battery x2 + Main Wall Charger for Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus
They fit perfectly in my O2 UK version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
One in my phone right now, the other in the wall charger.
So they aren't NFC's... but I am thinking a tenner for two batteries and a charger, cant be bad. I'll keep an eye on the charger so it doesn't burn my house down.
I am running a calibration using Battery Left PRO, to see how it compares with my stock battery. My stock has 25hrs full life

Thanks for sharing this find! Does the battery fit into the GSM version as-is or does one need a special cover? I am asking as the normal battery only hold 1,750mAh.
Nice find for those who don't plan on using NFC. Let us know how well they work.

Will do... I am using one now, and as I said, calibrating it so I can see how much they hold compared to my original
Thanks, for the post, I'm interested in knowing if they hold as long as the stock battery or if they just printed a 1900mah on it. There's another ebay ad for a 2300mah which looks exactly the same as the battery here. I'd be surprised if they can get that capacity without increasing the size of the battery.
Of course for the price, I'd just be happy if it had the same capacity as stock.
Definitely need something like this, I couldn't care less about NFC at this point.
early rough calibration, is telling me it has at least as much at the stock.
I plan to calibrate them both, and i do it thoroughly until "accurate" so it'll take several days.
but i shall report back
defo this it was a wise investment at just a tenner
Wonder if they will work on the USA LTE version

it is at least as good as the stock, however i think it maybe better.
Although saying that I haven't really caned it yet... so hard to say.
I would confidently say that it is on par with the stock AND two batteries... and a wall charger (which is very useful) for £10!!!! I would recommend it

hey guys,
i just got this cable in black but the animation of how fast the light "flows" doesn't change according to the charging level.
I emptied my battery to 0% and plugged in the cable, the speed is nothing like shown in the video demonstration (iphone version).
Am I doing something wrong?

what kind of charger do you have it connected to? If you are using a standard car charger or your PC it might not give it enough amps to use the light streaming feature, just a thought.

Yes your be able to see it if th room is very dark..
With both my pc's I kept getting the usual USB connected/discon windows sound while it was plugged in to phone.. USB2 & 3... It did light up but very dim... My Z77 motherboard has the extra juice that charge iPads but lights were still dim... And the disconnects got annoying
If I plug it into the official phone charger it's brighter but not anywhere near the video brightness
Also seems tobe 1 speed no matter what % battery is at... I gave up so didn't see if stopped when battery was full charged

I just found out it's a 0.5A charger so it might really be not enough juice to trigger faster/slower animation but the problem remains even if I connect it to my PC which should deliver more than enough juice especially on the ports which are directly connected to the Mainboard.
Although I have to mention that I'm using this cable to charge my S2, I don't have an S3 yet, but I think this shouldn't make much of a difference to the described issue.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, wonder if other people also face the same situation.
Would be nice if other people could also post their experience about the EZOPower cable
If it's just a .5A charger like the above guy said, its just a simple matter of swapping out some resistors inside one end of the cable.
I ordered the white EZO cable, I'll be able to comment in a few days when mine comes in.
So my Note 7 arrives today, firstly i was hunting round Korea trying to find one when I was there on holiday but everywhere was sold out. Then i missed the UK launch day preorders so i finally bit the bullet and ordered from from.ae
The day after i ordered Samsung made the recall announcement but the phone had already been dispatched, I now either use it and hope for the best due to it only being 35 devices so far or i pay again for shipping, custom charges etc. Taking all that into account getting it replaced would cost nearly £850
Is anyone else just keeping there note? Really stuck in 2 minds...
Yep mines made un china....no heat issues great battery life
But still on the replacement list

The day after i ordered Samsung made the recall announcement but the phone had already been dispatched, I now either use it and hope for the best due to it only being 35 devices so far or i pay again for shipping, custom charges etc. Taking all that into account getting it replaced would cost nearly £850
Is anyone else just keeping there note? Really stuck in 2 minds...

I guess the question is are you prepared to gamble with a possible fire or worse. Please keep in mind that if you did have a fire etc it may not only be you that is harmed but your family. If you live in an apartment you may risk the safety of other residents.
Samsung would not have made this recall unless it was 100% necessary, this goes without saying as the damage done to Samsung both financially and reputation wise is simply staggering. This disaster even affected Samsungs share price on the stock market!
I guess you could gamble if it where your life but its not, if this devices goes bang it could affect others and for that reason alone I returned mine as soon as the news broke. Be responsible please.
Apart from that by the end of the month they will be back on sale and I shall repurchase one. :good:

I was hoping it was a geographically-related batch and havent been too worried... until saw the guy from Australia post about his. Makes it much more real. Treating the thing like a dangerous object for the time being, until figure out how this whole replacement is going to work.
I would strongly recommend to give it back... If Sammy is doing a whole recall they don't know how much of the phones are effected. If they new there would be an app that showed do you need to replace it or not.

Honestly speaking, I had my doubts about the initial reports. Because the photos showed units without the Samsung logo. Then this Australia case reported earlier today.
Another article I read said that 70% of the Note 7 batteries came from Samsung SDI. The batch with the defective, exploding batteries.
So as much as I hate to say this, it's really better you send it in for an exchange.
So with the SDI announcement it does appear we can view the battery manufacturer without root. From a file browser in the root directory go to /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_type and open in a text editor. Unfortunately mine lists SDI
Definitely going to swap mine out when available, was really hoping i would see a different result in that file though.
I'm SDI too!!! Too nooooooo!!!

Just because you have an SDI battery doesn't mean it's faulty, there's still a tiny chance it's faulty.
