[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malefactor:
I modified my Galaxy Note to use inductive charging via a palm touchstone / patch.

Just a quick note. Not a whole lot to contribute here, because I largely followed the examples of the Qian Qi. That guy is awesome.

I don't think I voided a warranty, either. Only minimal teardown required (black plastic back, then the speaker section). Never came across a sticker I had to remove....

Useful links:

Notes:

- Buy a good soldering iron. Weller WESD51, set to 610 deg F, with 1/32" long conical tip, with lots of flux and lots of flux remover are the only reason I could do this. I can't stress enough the value of having good temperature control, knowledge of temperature, and so forth. I stumbled around with an "ordinary" soldering iron for a long time, and in hindsite, I can't believe I did so.

- Do not choke on the price. I already had a lot of soldering gear, and I bought $220 more. Spend the money. It's worth it.

- Watch the curious inventor youtube videos on soldering. This guy. Watch everything, several times. http://store.curiousinventor.com/

- You want 30 gauge wire. It's the only thing that just barely can be crammed in. I used the "Kynar" coated type. Buy at least 2 colors.

- as you look at the phone disassembled, with speaker on the bottom left, the +5 pin on the micro usb (MHL) port is the leftmost. I attached a wire to that, and a ground wire to the housing where the port was soldered.

- routed the wires under the speaker, then back, then into a VERY slight indentation into the battery compartment. used a blue "safe open" tool to help shape the wire / crimp ends. Once in the battery compartment, you're golden. Attach the inductive charging coil to the back of the samsung plastic back, add solder to the pads, and attach the wires.

- Attached is a picture with roughly how I routed wires. Red is +5V, Blue is ground. Be sure and double check if my recollection is right where the indentation is into the battery compartment. (that part is by memory).

- dont leave too much slack. it's really hard to get the samsung black pastic panel back on. Mine very slightly bulges.

- be careful where you put the charging sticky patch, because this phone is a little bit bigger than a palm pre. You have to consider if the phone can sit on the charger and "lock in" with the magnets. If you place it too high, it actually can't (in portrait)!

- Qian Qi had a really interesting point: most articles about how Li-ion batteries behave are wrong, and fully discharging the battery drastically reduces the number of cycles you have. So this is actually a very useful mod--whenever you don't use the phone, toss it on the charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tefloncoated:
Thanks for summing it up! Was actually thinking of doing this mod myself. Question: do you have a protective case on your Note? If so - what kind and how badly does it affect the magnetic properties?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malefactor:
No case. Especially because the note is so big, I think it would be unmanageable.

I took the samsung thin plastic back, and placed the Palm PRE (with charging coil still attached) on top of it, on the touchstone -- to figure out proper placement & mark with a pencil. I noticed a buzzing sound, coming from (I think) the induction coil on the palm pre back itself. I suspect if you use a case, this wont work well.

Also, the size/weight/placement of the galaxy note are such that the magnets are just barely strong enough to hold it. One time my phone was near, but off, the charger. I'm not sure if vibration from the phone did that, or my kids :-)

In summary, I'm not sure how well it would work with a case. You might be able to research this on the net; among the 15 or 20 people that have bought a Pre, you might be able to find some info about the effect of a case on inductive charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dalton1091:
tight squeeze?

im wanting to try this mod i have my touchstone on the way not thank you amazon but it seems like to me that the pad from the pre wouldnt fit under the cover of our phablet =/ could you post pics of the finished product and i think this is the only instance that i have seen someone attempt this with the note and i want to try it i love my note but would love it even more with inductive charging.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dalton1091:
Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for your post I have my materials on the way but I hadn't seen a detailed guide for the note other than this one and was worried I would have to solder directly to the usb pins which looked scary lol I did have two questions though would your mod work the same way for the at&t note? Specifically the points where you soldered to the phone and can wireless charging be performed through a case?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malefactor:
Hey, OP here. You may want to hold off just a bit. Mine is exhibiting some issues now. As in, it says "charging" but it doesn't do so wirelessly. The phone will stay "charging" but the battery % never goes up. (It was slow before, but would charge fully over a night).

Charging via USB still works.

It may be something simple; I'm not sure. But I need to crack it open and take a peek, and I haven't had time to do that yet because my phone is functional at the moment.

If nothing has conspicuously changed, there may be something about the design that isn't sustainable. Or maybe my solder joint halfway broke, or one of the wires got smashed enough so that it's partially broken...

I'll write back with my findings. Bug me if I don't :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dalton1091:
Thanks for the notice I was about to pull the trigger lol tbh I probably shouldn't attempt this I've never done a mod like this before and I'm not exactly a surgeon with a soldering iron lolvthatvbeing being said I'm going to attempt this on an old evo 4g I have before I do surgery on my baby lol plus I'm already familiar with the guts of an evo from screen repairs ill report back with my results
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dalton1091:
Success it took some doing but I got it I haven't done the mod on my note yet but I did it on my evo last night and it works its rough I haven't cleaned it up yet but I'll post the pics I got this mod from www.goodandevo.net
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WallbrownF:
Thank you for this post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dalton1091:
No prob I just wanted to see if i could do it and if I can do it with little soldering experience I'm sure most could do it I haven't done this mod to my galaxy note though as there is way less room in its a far more complicated mod than the evo because you have to make room for wires in a device samsung made as thin as possible and the way you have to route the wires I feel like the solder joints would just break
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] becosemsaida:
For those who want to try this out but still have warrantee just buy a backcover, a micro usb plug and assemble it according to the directions here.If you need the note just take out the usb plug and the back cover and you're good to go.... Or leave it there.....

For those who don't know what pins to use on the usb plug:

Pin: 1 is 5V+ (red)

Pin: 5 is GND (black)

Works like a charm.......

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
Cool mod! Does it affect the stylus operation though?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neokaan:
yes it affects the stylus sometimes it reacts with delay and sometimes it clicks although only hovers over it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malefactor:
I was not a big stylus user; I can't stand the input lag. I didn't notice a difference, but I always considered the input speed unacceptable. Not sure why there would be any difference, anyway.

My big problem that I've never taken the time to address is that after some time, it's as though I can't pull enough current through the wires to charge. One day I need to crack this open & figure out why.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] strategist99:
gr8 n interesting post

wonder how fast can a full charge be completed

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] malefactor:
It is slower than normal, but completed in a night. I still have not dismantled my phone to attempt to repair this, but I want to soon :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dragoncius:
Hi there,

I know our Atrix has this capability, but I can't seem to activate/deactivate it. It only runs when I use Ionroad (awesome app btw) and then I can't stop it.

I have seen the app, but don't find it in the drawer!

Anyway to use it and easily turn on/off?

Or any app that does the same?

Thanks!

go launcher ex

youll have excellent battery life plus 4G if its in ur area. launcher u can customize.

also perhaps u can update radio/nv to newest.
[EVO 4G General] marcusva79:
Yup!!!

Decks tiamat 3.3.7 aka. Lee kernel, COD tweaks.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Stock ROM with bloatware removed with stock kernel
[EVO 4G General] jumpmasterguy:
MIKG 3.0 Kernel that comes with it. I have had no issues with this ROM and you can add themes to it. It has Wimax working and have had no major issues with it. I go all day (work day) without a charge.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
gonna agree with decks 1.3d

honestly i have been trying to figure out if the newer tiamat 4.1.0 and 3.3.7.

i like the smartass v2 4.1.0 seems to be ramp up a bit quicker and isnt a bad thing. 3.3.7 may have a little more battery life to it and i'll admit any lag may be just me lol

sidenote: the older tiamat doesnt have smartass v2 and i dont know the differences if any just saying im going off personal experienced

using stock launcher atm this time i've used adw and the newer kernel seemed to stay snappier if that makes sense. havent tried launcher pro plus yet but im sure that will be about the same since hell adw has been updated more than lpp.
[EVO 4G General] desertegl:
i forgot to add to have a "partioned" sd card with at least 1024 in ext partition, then also to convert that from ext2 to ext3 (u can do all that in amon ra recovery) .

after rom settles flash dark tremors a2sd zip from recovery, go to market n get a2sdgui. inside this app choose to move dalvik cache to ext partition. also u can select to zip align on boot.

ps. this goes with my previous post above.
[EVO 4G General] HD2FORNICK:
Thanks guys. I will try Deck's ROM and the suggested kernel.
[EVO 4G General] Lacedaemon:
I used to have 3 hrs (give or take) of battery life on stock HTC Sense. After switching to MIUI w/ a Tiamat kernel undervolted by -50V via viperMOD, my battery lasted for days at a time. :D

According to Green_Arrow's guide to the best GB and ICS ROMs, MIUI is described as having "the longest battery life" and is hailed as "very customizable." Green_Arrow goes on to say that "this rom is based off of CM7 and is an excelent rom."

I'd recommend MIUI to anyone looking for a fast, stable, energy-saving Gingerbread ROM as long as they stay away from the latest 1.12.23+ versions. A lot of people are reporting a lot of issues that shouldn't be issues on those builds; Most people would recommend MIUI 1.12.9. Happy flashing! :)
[EVO 4G General] desertegl:
no 4G in miui...

it is very cool how u can customize the looks of it though!!

to OP: one last thing is to flash the "updated gps fix" zip file which is somewhere in these forums. will give u near instant lock.

pm me for any questions u have or if u need help!

hello.

I try with gingerbread and i have many problems, the market not working, and other google apps (latitude, gmail, google explorer), i install the GAPPS 6 and 7.1, also GAPPS fixer, and nothing.

Could you help me to choose a rom stable and successful :).

thnx guys for ur time.

I have 2.3.4 gingerbread version
[LG Optimus Black] kirigaze:
where from did you get it? I'm using temasek's CM7 kanged, and it is working good..

About the google apps, not all can be installed from GAPSS, just like google maps, find it in blapkmarket then install manually. I don't know why but when you set Lg Black as your device in the market, you won't find google maps, but if I choose all device, google maps will appear.
[LG Optimus Black] explor3r3:

[LG Optimus Black] Inferbubu:
i have installed the Zeus V1 and is cleaned and stable!! remember do 6 wipes before install any rom :)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well, stock ROM is 2.3.4 but which version? Germany, Spain, Indian, European, Singapore, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Hong Kong, Baltic, (aah too many to be listed) :D Another repack based from V20N are also 2.3.4 but it already has difference than stock ROM, such as Zeus ROM.

Please be more specific with your description, so others might can help you..
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
+1 for me too.

I tried Knzo's NOVA 2.2 - Actually I was happy with it, but I just want to try something new.

I also tried redy2006's V20N Germany - to taste some gingerbread stuff :D

I also tried CM7's nightly build but I have some issues regarding the audio quality and etc so I reverted it - will wait for a stable version :D

I also tried temasek cm7 for optimus black cm7kang-p970-P20-37 but after flashing, it doesn't have market installed lol

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421425

What rom would you guys recommend? :)
[LG Optimus Black] wishmasterwww:
Had no problem with CM7 nightlies - for audio I use PowerAMP, didn't notice sound problems. It also has an option to change the buffer size for audio.

Tried V20N for a few days, it's ok, but I want root, I want to be able to remove unnecesary stuff, and could't root, so I'm going back to CM7 tonight.

As for GPS I use iGO, and it works!
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
No! U should do 10 wipes and take a **** BEFORE flashing - works everytime!
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
Yeah thanks mate...but just to be sure, i made 57 wipes and shaved my head before flashing another rom :D
[LG Optimus Black] berkalonso:
wipe wipe what?(im serious)

i flashed cm #52 ok.i wanna get to #53 how do i will wipe :S
[LG Optimus Black] grateful-dead:
For me CM7 temasek's KANG builds are the best. Now I am on P970-36 KANG.

Give it a try.
[LG Optimus Black] dsokua:
Me too! I love his build :D His zip file doesn't have market so you need to download and install market and gapps :)
[LG Optimus Black] G@vi:
V20B

I already used Nova8, CM7, V20N Repacked, Now On V20B.

V20B is more Smooth and stable with good battery life.

*But you cant root :( till Toady.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrl0n3ly714:
i have straighttalk and actually i have all my families swwithc over from att to straight talk, i used to have granddata from att which is 30$ unlimited but i dropped that to straighttalk.

ST used ATT tower so you would get same speed as 3G on att, also its not just 2G limited. I got one acct closed out without refund because i was using too much data, after gone through that experienced and talked to managers, supervisor, even higher manager, i found out its the data they lock you out its the connection. For example if you have are on you tube let say for 15mins and data over media around 50mb (like watch trailer with 720 or 1080) and you dont close out youtube but the data on youtube or on your cell phone keep transmit the data through tower then you will get lock out close out account, well you will get first warner first then they going to survey you and turn on you data again but 2nd time they will close your account.

But if you watch youtube for let say 50mins and data wwas already 2G, and you are still ok if you close out all of connection, like end task on droid, or iphone i quit all app, or even reboot and turn on again..then the data will reset then you can continue watching another 2G again...

They told me the data is unlimited, you can use 15G total a day or 20G a day total, it doesnt matter as long you close out connection right after browser or watch youtube of each session then you are good.

Hope this help
