Hi to all,
We want to announce new Motorola Moto mod we are working on, Solar Z sun-powered charger with battery.
Simply leave Mod in the sun and snap it to the phone when you need additional power and it will be transferred to the phone battery. Charge your phone without cables.
Time and knowledge have been invested in design and development and now we need your help to finish this product. We are about to start crowdfunding campaign, please follow us at:
Indegogo Campaign
Solar Z has a simple design and easy to use approach. It has no movable parts, one button only, however, electronic design is latest with high-level integration components.
It contains 2600 mAh Li-Ion battery which charges to 80% in 12 hours on an average sunny day, compatible with all Moto Z phones.
Let us know your thoughts!
as you working on the MOD design, is there a way to use the pogo pins w/o any extra circuit/chip to charge or supply with power?

Unfortunately no. Just short time after connecting Mod to the phone pin (corner top left hand size) is open (from phone perspective) and can accept charging. However, if communication through main connector between phone and mod does not exist, this pin will be closed from phone side and phone can not be charged. Answer is that you can not just hook ub battery or anything else to charge phone. You actually need micro-controller who knows how to talk to the phone.

found a nice bundle pack on ebay today, 12 dollars, comes with screen protectors which ill never use, a usb cable which is always handy, and more importantly, 2 spare batteries, 2 capacitive touch pens and external battery charger!
ive bought these chinese bundle packs before, the batteries work fine, cant tell a performance difference, the charger will charge the battery up to 70% faster than the phone can, but after that, it takes like 24 hours for the next 30% to fill up.. but blah, im really only buying it for the batteries

Yeah have fun, i wonder who will be the first dead.
exploding in your ear, while holding it in your hand, pwnd
unlikely, but who knows?
And who want to be the first to make this experience ?
I've always been reluctant to buy cheapo batteries on ebay for a reason.
In my Blackberry days (when I was a hardcore BBer) I could see the difference even if they said that they were OEM. They were copies of OEM, with printed lables that looked just like them. If the battery costs less than 20 euro (or lets say 25 USD) WITHOUT shipping OR it's coming from China, then I'd say no to it just to be safe. I just spent a lot of money on my phone. I'm not going to have it explode or have a battery leak into my phone just to save 10 euros.
My first and last aftermarket battery for my Nokia actually turned from white to yellow from the heat of charging and started bulging after a few months. After that experience, I decided to never risk my phone just to save a few dollars on batteries. After all, the battery is the lifeblood of the phone!
Anybody have recommendation for a good, portable battery charger that's not too big? I don't want those big square ones. I was looking at this one from this deal site...http://casepapa.com/deals/universal-2600-mah-battery-charger/
There's no brand, but it's only $13, so not much risk involved
Get a Pebble XT 5000maH you can get 2 or 3 full phone charges out of this before it needs charging again.

There are even smaller versions of that particular model called smart sticks. They have good capacities but charge slowly.
I can't live without my pebble, even my wife has twigged onto the fact I have one and it works with her iphone. I've known her go out with it in her handbag
I bought this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/39061239557...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It's trustable and good.
Bye,
I use this, it's cheap but it works well.

First I bought a cheap external 2500 mAh charger with solar panel that it gave me enough juice to make many photos and keep internet on all day on travel holidays. But I bought an MacBook Air 11" and now I use it as external usb charger anywhere I go. It's to small to not take it with me when I make trip longer than a battery charge.
So if you have a mini laptop you can use it as external usb charger with a lot of juice for your phone. I keep always the MBA on a backpack or a messenger bag and the phone on my pockets with a charging cable connecting them.
And never felt since the need for another external charger.
I dont know anything about electronics but.... Can an power bank case be modded by attaching the wires of the inductor module to the male micro usb part of the case .... http://www.dhgate.com/product/3000m...battery-case/140149386.html#s1-8-1|3772011264 I think something like this would be a good candidate.... or better yet is there a case for n7000 like the iphone ones that act like a dock with built in speakers....etc it would be even better
Note: if any one goes commercial with this ... I want a cut of the action..... LOL

I just bought exactly that case with modding in mind, as built-in battery is almost non existant. I'm waiting for Palm charging kit and soldering iron - will be reporting progress or failure as soon as possible.

After some dremel action and removal of original battery.
The hole needed to be a little bit bigger than battery, to allow some space for sliding into "craddle" inside the case without breaking anything.
With said battery for comparision. Producer claims it's 3000 mAh. I respectfully disagree, after few days of regular charge/discharge cycle this sleeve battery as able to add about 30% to original Samsung cell. Not good enough.
So I jammed in extended Mugen pack and am a sort of crossroads here.
I can connect to the cases old wiring another battery pack or wireless charging coils or maybe, somehow, both. Anyway, it's work in progress and at least my Notes usb port is save >]
On semi related note, this is tempting..
Any updates?
No update still now.

Sure, I am doing it since some weeks ago. I even designed and 3D printed and QI charging base:

Very interesting...
Can you tell me which of the two connectors on the left side is for plus (+) and which is for ground?
I am thinking about installing a Qi receiver.

Did you directly place the cell phone on the charger or you had installed a special cover (like s view cover) to charge the cell phone?
Is the wireless receiving plate already in the phone, rather than on the s-view cover? I dont see any special charging cover on the OP's phone, though I cant see if its charging or not?
I tried to install a charging pad in my Note 3 Neo.
After several tries I think the two connectors will not work as charging connectors.
In my opinion, they are used only to identify the S-View Cover.
After installing a Qi-receiver the charger recognized the charging pad, but there was no charging massage on the phone.
My S-View Cover didn´t work with installed charging pad.
The pictures above show only the charging station. On the display ist no indicator for charging.
So I believe, that it is not possible to charge the Note 3 Neo via Qi.
If someone has a wirking Qi-Charger I am very interested in this solution.
I can see in your Google Plus photo that you are using a Galaxy S III receiving module. How did you managed to make it fit. Does it fits natively, or did you have to make some adjustments to it? How is the back cover coming, any extra thickness in there? Please share more details (with pics:laugh.
Hello there fellers...
Is there any difference between last gen. wireless charging stand and the new one released together for S8?
Does the new one have faster charging speed?
If you mean this one,

I got one and did not like it. Unlike the Samsung Qi charger I had purchased for my car, this one seems to cycle constantly. So it goes on battery, and the phone discharges for a while, then it starts charging, then you get a full charge and it turns off and the cycle starts over. I found it too annoying to use.
Thanks. The new convertible stand looks great but is a bit expensive for now.
Edit: I read on a review for this model that "the correct power supply must be used for it to function properly."

If you mean that it should use the cables/wall plug that it came with, yes, that's true. I have two of them and without a quickcharging cable/cable, it doesn't charge/work as a quick charger.
Sindroid,
Here is the one I have been using
https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Char...24826&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+wireless+charger
Works very well, not high speed but 3.5 hours for full charge and very sturdy. Also has the rubberized grip so very sturdy for the phone to sit on as well. Highly recommend it.

This looks very cool. Does it come with cables and a wall plug? I see "a" cable, but not sure if comes with all the necessary cables. I found it on the US site for $25 (guessing that's what it is at the exchange for CAD).
I'm using the new convertible charger. So far so good.
