Just got my parts in the mail today.

I've got the Galaxy sII Hercules T-989.

Anker 2200 mAh Battery

Palm Pixi rear cover

Palm Touchstone charging dock

Copper tape

I'll be going through and taking pictures. Its starting slow, but I'm not in a rush. I did test it out and the whole set fits back on with the normal battery cover on it, just slightly bulged. I'm going to attempt to direct the current to the same input as the microUSB so that I won't be overpowering anything.

When I do more than glue the magnets in place, I'll post an update.

Looking to try this also...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I have both coils the energizer and the duracell, meaning the qi standard and the powermat standard. No they are not compatible with each other. I have emailed both companies they have confirmed that they are incompatible with each other. Between the two of them the palm pixi / powermat version is a lot thinner then the qi standard but the qi standard is the one Google is using with their devices as well as nokia in their windows phone which means that soon there will be more mats and charging stations avaliable. Tomorrow I will post post pictures of both coils. Although you might be able to find the qi coils more avaliable in wii wireless charging stations the one I have harvested came from a blackberry so that might make a difference I cannot say.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] choking:
All finished. It looks great and charges like a champ. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

The process was easy at times and frustrating other times. I did it a little different than I've seen others.

For those Attempting, Here's a few issues I had:

On Sunday morning, some of the resin from the resin core solder dripped on to the rear of the connection that controls the NavBar/SoftKeys. When I turned on the phone, they stayed black for about six seconds, then flashed dim and went black again. I thought I ruined something. I used the settings in AOKP for enabling a Navigation bar. That got me through work on the weekend. This morning I opened everything back up and scraped up the majority of the resin. For what was left, I used a Q-Tip with my soldering iron to clean up the resin that was out and about on the board. It cleaned perfect. I powered up the phone and the NavBar/SoftKeys were responsive again.

BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT SOLDER YOU USE.

BE CAREFUL WITH WHERE YOU SOLDER.

BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT ANGLE YOUR SOLDERING IRON IS ON(You may tap something you didn't mean to.)

I check my work and progress to make sure that I'm not finishing with a damned end result. Everything fully tested all the way through fine. I was happy with the results. I set it on the touchstone and it didn't work. I was confused. It worked before. All that had changed was that I was attempting to charge it at work rather than at home. I had plugged the touchstone in with a cheap cable. Cheap cable is not your friend. The Blackberry Playbook Charger is great for usb charging and for the touchstone, plus it's got a 6' cable. That's my recommendation. I ordered another of those. If you look hard at the google, you'll find them for a little over $10.

I'll post pictures tomorrow. Cheers.

Pictures of completed project

DROPBOX

I made the connections this way because if anything went wrong, I didn't want to have to rework the entire thing. It took an extra amount of time to do, but I think it was worth it.

I've got three sections.

Mainboard

Housing

Coil

The wire that I used was hard drive cable wire that I had sitting around. I stripped off two strands and cut them to length. On the coil I removed the connectors and soldered the copper tape directly to the ribbon cable. It reduced the overal height a lot. I had to reposition the ribbon cable board underneath the coil because it wasn't sitting in a great place. It was affecting the ability to fully snap rear cover closed. By repositioning it to the lower center of the case, it was able to be closed and stay closed.

After typing this:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc

into my terminal while charging, the results were as follows.

3522 Charging via Touchstone (352.2mAh)

3339 Charging via USB (333.9mAh)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I had noticed that you not only soldered the right side of the resistor but also on the last connection on the USB port. Is that better than grounding it to the metal housing of the SD card tray or wool that produce the same effect.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] choking:
So the micro-usb connectors are a pain to solder to. I did a few various tests with my multimeter before choosing where to solder. The conditions that were most appealing were selected because of the surface area to solder to without having to buy a new soldering tip, and for the area surrounding.

When the board was plugged into a usb cable, these two positions read the same as my induction coil. (5.7v)

I attempted soldering on the end of the micro-usb connector three times before it was a good connection. It's just tough to get in there and not hit the other points.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I had recently acquired a nexus 7 and I was lurking around the forums and came across a wireless mod very similar to ours but in the forum someone had posted a link to a website that sells just the coil which now makes me wonder. The circuitry that the coil is connected to, is that needed or just the coil it self. If just the coil is needed than we would not need to worry about thickness. I have had problems with the circuitry causing the battery cover to not fit. Anyone whom has any expertise in this field care to weigh in please? Here's the link for just the coil. Now mind you this follows the qi standard which is the same as the energizer / nexus 4 / Nokia Lumia 920

http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/vishay-wireless-charging-coil/72
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
Well, I had figured it out. According to the wpc spec all you need is the transmission coil and the receiving coil in order for this to work so the added circuitry I would wager that it's something voltage regulation. I guess that when install the coil the power is double regulated but if you don't want the extra bulk then you can remove the extra circuitry or buy the coil from the link that I had placed above from digikey
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conyeje2:
Tried the Mod

So, a friend of mine and myself attempted the SG2 wireless charging mod following the guide posted by choking, and I feel like we followed it to the T, but we weren't able to get the wireless charging to work. We checked all of the connections for continuity. The only connection that didn't seem continuous was from the copper foil pasted on the back side of the phone around the lip of the inner casing to the positive terminal of the battery slot, and not from the positive to any of the copper foil, shown in the attached photo.

The good news is, my phone still powers on, and I can still charge from the usb port. It's just a bummer that we did all that work and all I got out of it so far is a back cover that is harder to take off. Anyways, I'm staying hopefully and will keep on trying out different tweaks. Do you guys have any suggestions or solutions to my problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I am thinking that you might have to go off the resister that's next to the USB charging port. When I ran it straight to the battery it had failed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conyeje2:
Yeah, that is the method that we did. We followed the guide posted by "choking", which involved soldering off the side of the resistor

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40473772/t005.jpg

but when everything was done, we couldn't get power from the wireless charging dock. Also, a day later, the usb port on my phone stopped working entirely, which was weird.

I am currently charging my phone using extended battery packs and an external battery charger, which has worked out, because my battery life is awesome now, and the phone being thicker now feels more like a phone in my hands, and I only have to change batteries around once every day and a half. Also, all the apps that allow you to wirelessly transfer files and access the phone have helped.

I'm now working on trying your method, rastlin, for wireless charging just using the copper foil off of the battery terminals. If that doesn't work, then I'll try the last method I saw in this thread, which I don't remember now, but I'll figure out when it gets to that point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joeags:
I too had my usb stop working, as I no doubt fried my resistor. I should have expected it, especially since I had a hard time routing the wire, and had to resolder the wire twice. I'm going to be going the same route with the extended battery packs and external charger, as I didn't brick the entire phone. Frustrating, but I knew the risks going in.

Since you didn't respond back about getting anything to work, I assume that you weren't able to get success with any other options...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sremark:
Looks like this thread has gone cold, but I currently have a t989 with a dead charging port, and a touchstone base and pixi back. I was hoping some of you who tried it might have some finalized advice or pictures of do's and don't's?

And if there's anyone else out there looking to try this mod, I got the touchstone set on ebay for less than $8. At that price, I can't imagine not trying to add this into everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davebert0:
Putting QI charger into the T989

Since I also have an Nexus 5 and 7 I wanted to get the old T989 an wireless charging upgrade and use the same charger as my Nexus devices. So I picked up an universal USB wireless charger receiver off Ebay.

As is, it will fit with the stock case with but the USB cable is too long and the case will have to be notched for the cable. So I decided try to mod the phone so I will still have access to the USB port and make thing fit a little better. But this required disassembling of the phone and soldering.

I have just finished the mod and the phone can now charge from any QI compliant wireless charger but the NFC is lost. It is very similar to what is described here I sure someone handy with a soldering iron can do this without much difficulty. In order to get the receiver to fit better I had to separated the receiving coil from the circuit board. The wires from to coil had to be extended a bit with some 30AWG wirewrap wires. and I used the resister near the USB connector for the +5V and one of the legs of the case from the SD card socket as the ground.

But I cannot post anything with an external link until I have posted at least 10 times. If there is an interest I will get my posting count up and do a write on the mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ar_156:
My USb port is broken so I did the same you wrote here, but all I got are blinking LEDs on the Qi charger
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davebert0:
I don't know why your charger is just blinking since different makes of charger might behave differently. If you have another receiver or phone with wireless charging option , you can use that to test the transmitter to verify if it is working properly. I see those pictures are of my conversion that I posted on RedFlagDeals and that is how I did my conversion and it is still working to this date. The only other issue that might be a problem is the 5V output of the receiver, it might be wired wrong, but you can test that quickly with an multi-meter to verify the polarity.

ok so i cant find no threads on the lg marquee in this forum or others

someone said it was very similar to the "OB" so here i am!!!

I have a sprint lg marquee wich is offered on both boost and sprind they each have there own....i took the meid from a boostmobile phone (cdma) phone and wrote it to the marquee after zeroing out everything then when i do a ##rtn# it restarts the phone then does a hand free activation that fails with a network error.. so then i tried with a different doner meid and nam files and then after i put the new meid and nam files the phone restarts and i cancel the hands free activation and then i can use the phone i have talk and text.....but then when i go to update profile i get the same network error...... can anyone help me with this??
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:

What's meid?

What's nam?

[LG Optimus Black] I_AM_ME!!:
MEID

Mobile Equipment IDentity

An ID number that is globally unique for each new CDMA mobile phone in the world. It identifies that phone to the network, and can be used to flag stolen or lost phones.

MEID is a replacement for ESN (electronic serial number). MEID began replacing ESN in 2005.

ESN numbers are 32-bit, while MEID numbers are 56-bit.

A 32-bit ESN means there are only 4 billion unique ESN numbers. Combined with other constraints, enough CDMA phones were produced by the end of 2005 that the industry started to run out of unique ESNs.

With 56 bits, MEID provides for over 16 million times as many unique numbers as with the ESN system, ensuring the world will not run out of numbers again.

However, MEID support must be added to all new CDMA phones, and all CDMA networks must be upgraded to support MEID.

MEID is equivalant to IMEI for GSM and WCDMA phones. MEID is also designed to be compatible with IMEI for phones that include both CDMA and GSM/WCDMA technology.

NAM

Number Assignment Module.

A part of the phone that stores a wireless device's phone number, lock code, timer reset code and other user information. The NAM is programmed by the service provider when a device is activated. The NAM also associates the Mobile Identification Number (MIN) with the Electronic Serial Number (ESN).

hope that helps

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avioren:
Hello all.

I have an I9100T cellular that for some reason doesn't "want" to make and receive phone calls.

I have put a valid sim card from different phone networks.

It does recognize the sim (The phone is universally unlocked).

I can surf the net and get 3G.

I can make the emergency phone call (It works I tried)

Can't make regular phone calls

1) I have tried a lot of firmwares (Different kernels)

2) I have tried tried official firmware

3) I have tried different Modem firmwares

4) The IMEI of the phone is corrent and functioning

5) The versions I tried were Gingerbread like (2.3.5, 2.3.6)

6) I have added all the radio frequencies in the Service Mode.

Can anyone give me any ideas.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Could it be that the phone is blocked or barred? In Australia there is a website that looks up imei numbers. Not sure if you have something similar in your country.

Titanium Backup hangs an crashes for me within 10 secs of use. I have purchased a pro key.

On DarkyROM 3.3 with AbyssNote 4.2.

What's weird is that when its hung its as if it has done the work. I.e. on a batch backup after it hangs and I restart the app, it says that all the Apps are backed up.

This might get interesting. Have you ever installed any of the ICS releases? And have you tried delete data is settings apps?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dafreaking:
Never installed ICS. DarkyROM has been the only custom rom I have installed so far, that too the current version (3.3) I did restore my apps using Titanium when I switched to Darky so it definitely worked fine about a month ago.

For some stupid reason I cleared Cache + Dalvik cache coz I was getting weird battery drain. Since then Titanium has been acting up. I have installed and re-installed 4 different versions all with the same issue. I also changed to AbyssNote 4.2 from Franco #1 but the results are same.

Now I want to shift to CheckROM v6 as this ROM + Kernel have been acting up and am not sure If the Titanium backup of apps has been done properly.

Please advise.

You have to modify your framework-res.apk. I am going to be working on this again tonight. I couldn't get it to recompile correctly. I am going to try a different version of apktools and hopefull, it will work out.

Nope, going into framework-res/values/bools.xml and changing the

<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool> To

<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool> does not work.

Google changed some of the coding and thus needing some smali code work iirc.

Update:

After furthering my research, it seems that it requires you to edit services.jar.

Hi guys, this is an unusual and embarrassing one, so I hope.

Back in a day I installed a dodgy app (not from Market, duh) not knowing about it.

I want to upgrade/purchase that app as it is on the Market now, but there is no way of doing it. When I try to update, it states something along the lines of: "You have not purchased ..." message, but it is visible as "Installed".

I can not delete that app from my history of apps associated with my account

and there is no way of actually purchasing it.

What to do?

Contact app developer, or Google Play team or is there a way of doing it in some other way.

Thanks!

I love this magazine and I'm paid subscriber, and I last night I upgraded my custom ROM to ICS 4.0.3 and I'm getting 'this app is not compatible with this device' error.

I have a SG2 running a custom rom.

Any pointers?

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Where are you getting the error message? From market download?

Usually, most of the apps are running well on ICS. So, if you have an app already downloaded or backed up, try to install the app using backup.

If you don't have any backup, only the way would be going back to previous rom and download the app, backup and coming back to ICS. Try install the app from backup.

My one more question is, did you change the lcd density?
