Charging port...

Is it just me.. Or does the charger keep falling out too easily from the charging port?
I haven't damaged it or treated it wrong.. It keeps falling out easily when I pick up the device.
I have tried the supplied white cable.. And still had my galaxy s3 cable.. Does same.
Anyone else.?

yea, it's annoying.

+1 for loose

I've just trimmed a small amount of the plastic casing off the cable to make it sit better (which it does now) the angle of the bezel causes the cable not to sit fully into the port.

On inspection, I've noticed that the port is recessed quite far back into the phone. I'm hoping it's just a problem for a few handsets. I called three today and they're sending me another Note 2. Let's see if this one is any better.

No problems here. Did you try any other micro usb cable.. some fit better than others

Yep it's rubbish. The plug needs to be longer. The socket is too recessed. Easy enough to remove some of the casing of an old usb lead. Will update, to see how well it works.

As I mentioned in my previous post, trimming a cable a bit works just fine.

Worked just fine, thx for the tip.

Mine too. Keeps falling off every now and then. I bought HDTV adapter (the Samsung proprietary one for the S3) and that has a much longer micro usb and that fits in tight. I read somewhere that samsung has modified the micro USB port (some 5 pin connector or something like that, for the MHL) could it be because of that?

Yeah. I have a feeling that note all handsets are like this. If they were this thread would be flooded.

What do you mean by trimming the cable? Can you please post a picture to your cable?

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.

Samsung Bluetooth pen and headset MH5100

Curious to know if anyone had used this device and what their experience was like. Contemplating getting one but haven't found any reviews.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD

I have one since half a year. Works good, nice and comfortable in your hand. The handset function works like any BT headset, not much to add.
Bought it from Samsung in Korea.

It doesn't lose connection?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD

When the battery is empty
Jokes aside, it happened once or twice that it lost connection without reason.
Not a big deal really

I was afraid the radio in the pen might be too weak, good to know it isn't a problem.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD

but you do look crazy insane talking to your pen

Indeed, but you look crazy talking into a 5 inch phone aswell.
I also felt crazy talking into my first cellphone in public places back in 1995.
And you also look crazy walking in the streets with big Dr Beats on your ears
It's all inside your head
You can also say that you look way cool having a pen as a cellphone

I look weird and slightly insane no matter what I do, so I have learned to live with the wide eyes staring at me

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.

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.

IR Blaster Case

Guys, I want the ir blaster back. And i'm not alone.
I got an idea, could it be possible to have a ir blaster circuit powered by nfc ( or even wireless coil(charging thingy)) with the circuitry at the top of the phone and some smd IR LED.
I dont know how nfc works, but if the power can be manage by software, it would only take an nfc receiver, which can be ultra thin, and some SMD LED, which on in the thickness of the case.
What do you think?
Maybe some capacitor and resistance would be needed, but in can probably fit in the front on the phone, it would add like 3 mm to the length of the phone.
Still, i'm not a pro in electronics, how to you find my idea?
