Wireless Qi Charging... BETA - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Hey guys... so, I moved from the DNA to the HTC one about 3 months ago... Sort of have mixed feelings about the phone... Not a fan of the camera.. but MOSTLY REALLY miss my wireless charging...
SO, I decided to do something about that...
ANYWAY, im looking for anyone out there who might have a lead on REALLY shallow Micro USB connectors.
My current set is using a bunch of parts found on eBay.
USB Micro is about 1cm long (i need it about half that or less so it doesnt stick out from the case.
Im using a ULAK case (Somewhat bulky rubber/hard plastic... but it hides the Energizer/Blackberry Qi receiver fairly well)
And lastly, im using an old Energizer Qi receiver pad I had lying around.
I am happy to upload pics on how I accomplished this (it's actually relatively easy) and I am waiting on some S3 Qi pads to come in as theyre about half the thickness of the blackberry one Im using...
Anyway, if there's interest... id be happy to build some prototypes for people to try out.

I'd love to try it out.

I looked around for a bit and found this Chinese elbow connector.

If it's too thick, you could buy a cheap connector and remove the plastic. It looks like it could be flexible enough.

Wish I could simply stick the one processor in the dna. It has definitely been my favorite device.

Another EVO Car Mount

Ok, after lots of attempts at using universal mounts, I took matters into my own hands. I ordered a NUVI250w mount off ebay for $5 shipped. It arrived from China and was a bit too far apart.
I softened the plastic by heating it slightly (use a heatgun or the like) and slightly bend the tabs inward. As I use an innocase, I didn't have to bend much. I then used a bit of heatshrink tubing to add a bit of grip to the tabs, and really snug it up.
This is the final product.
It is as snug as any GPS, and has the added benefit that the camera can work through the windshield.

Cool, good thought on the heat shrink. So are you going to run car charger to the cig lighter then?
Looks nice.

Was it loose with a case or naked? I use a innocase so I am wondering.
Thanks.

Actually, I picked up a cg adaptor for a Palm that RS was closing out, and hard wired it into the car. I have homelink (garage door opener) so power was already there. Will try to get a pic in action.
I look forward to the picture.

looks like great innovation ... hows this holding up?
evo staying in the holder after bumps and all ?
Very creative, good idea.

looking for a carrying case

OK I have somehow a "weird" case request. I hate using my phone in a case so what I am looking for is a carrying case I could remove it from before using it.
I am currently using a TomTom navigator 5 inch screen case and it is working fine (I removed all magnetic devices from it) but I am looking for something with compartment i could use to include the usb cable etc...
I don't mind a bit bigger size.
anyone uses something similar ?
What about a carrying case that you get for a 2.5" external HDD.. The GN is almost exactly the same size.

I picked up one of these:
http://www.caselogic.com/gps_case_5...il/index.cfm?modelid=138047&productid=1357931
It has 2 seperate compartments: a very soft padded one for your electronic device, and another for miscellaneous things like cables. I have a Nilkin case on my Note, and it still fits well along with a OTG cable and an SD card reader.
Thanks guys !
Evo it looks pretty much what I need! You are using it? any pictures ?
Here, I snapped a few pics.

I am using the neoprene case that came with my original PSP while waiting for my proper case to arrive. Fits very well suprisingly.

Costco Accessory Pack

Hi all - I'm eagerly awaiting my HTC One from Costco, and it appears as if it comes with a bundled accessory pack. However, the photo on the Costco website leaves a lot to be desired - I'll be posting details once I get it, but if anyone else wants to jump-start the thread, that would satisfy my curiosity...

Looks like pretty generic essentials from the the pic. Nothing to be overly excited for.

They give you a nice case. Looks and feels exactly like Diztronic. Mine came in smoke color (I got it in store). Also a car charger that doubles as an in wall charger. Some screen protector which I haven't tried. And lastly, a big ass case to put everything in.

Yeah I was surprised at how nice the case actually was, I switch between it and the cruzerlite case I have

Suprisingly the case is pretty slim and looks sturdy , I really like it . Thats the only case i use. Screen protector is very generic though its not even cut to size you have to manually cut it , A generic car charger is included too .

Car Dock?

I'm looking to find a Dock that I can use in the car. Unfortunately I have not used one since my old D1 days, and am way out of the loop as to what the good ones are. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I use this one.

i wish these case making companies would make mounts too.
i don't want to use a poorly made, time consuming universal grip on my phone because it has a case on it.
recently bought a mountek universal based on high reviews and testimonials. seriously though, that product is a joke. the grip is not strong and the mount has an inherent design flaw... it is designed to literally seperate by putting pressure between a cd slot or dash seems and the screw to make it tight WILL jack up what you are putting it in. i returned it.
otterbox cant make a mount that fits its line of cases? i have a commuter case and i wish there was a specific mount for it
i have a couple ideas to get one, but it would cost me several hundred dollars and lots of time.

Bought the Original HTC Car Dock from HTC, bit pricier than i would like ( almost 35 from amazon.de) but i have to say that its great. The fact that the recharge cable is attached to the dock and charges every time you put them in the case is really practical.

I like this. And the fact that it would support my case is even better.

$15 Nexus 7 2013 Dock. Thats right $15 DOCK!

Opinions anyone? Saw it on amazon and was wondering if it looked cool to anyone else too.

Judging by how little back there is, it looks like it might put a bit too much stress on the charging port for my liking. I had something like this for my OG Evo with more height in its back and the port went out fairly quickly from the thing using it as support
I have seen this on eBay months ago, there is reason they don't sell very well.
One was £9 with free delivery.

I purchased some docks like this for our iPad Minis. They all broke at the dock connector very quickly, too much stress.

Or for under $30 get a wireless Qi charger. I use this one and works perfectly, even with my Poetic case on.
Yes Digi QI Wireless Charger; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DY50GIE/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If it had some ports on the back for audio(3.5mm aux), HDMI, USB (for OTG functions), etc., then I would build some additional supports on to this dock to relieve the stress from the micro USB port. Without any additional ports on though, I don't see much of a use for this dock. I know everyone has an opinion and that's just mine, but a QI charger just makes a lot more since than this....
