Hi,

Which clock are you referring to?

The dotted circle or non dotted?

Regarding the thread, this would be hardware development which i believe belongs in the general section. As for the idea, it seems like as long as its not too bulky most users wouldn't mind if it extended battery life substantially like 24 hours or more. Could make you rich with over 9.million sgsIII owners. But Im pretty sure there are already many types of chargers on the market so unless i missed something perhaps you should submit this to a patent office so no one steals the idea or design. Just my two cents dinner no one else has posted. But ya not software development so I would move three thread before you get flamed too bad.

I'm game! I tried doing it myself but I could only find the one spot on the USB plug to hook up to. I opted but to do it because there was some massive dismantling and soldering I would've had to do. I've still got the parts ready for when someone smarter than me figures out an easier way to do it though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Technically, he is developing something. Just not code. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
great idea. i have 4 touchstones kicking around. would love to be able to use them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Handsome_Rob:
Technically, this IS "development"

Anyway, I would be interested in this myself. Seems like a great idea. I'm pretty handy & I have a welder/soldering station at my job. Would be happy to help out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reinaldistic:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex530:
This sounds very cool. And technically this is development. Just not software related. So I don't see where else this could go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbadh91:
Just a thought.

What would be the charging time using touchstone/conductive charging; or in other words, what would be the output voltage/current provided to the phone. It takes a while on regular chargers to charge the phone compared to HTC phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweakymattman:
haha I actually did this too my I500. Literally car kit and everything. Even had it play music through Bluetooth. except I hated cases on that phone so I hardwired it. looked so much sexier. But the case is easier. Built like that too just didn't have the car cradle

How much would this be for a car charger and home charger wireless
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I have 2 palm touchstones, 2 old fried pre & pre2, and 2 phone backs for the touchstone charger to integrate with the phone..

I would absolutely love to know how to integrate the "guts" of the battery cover with the needed parts into the e4gt innards to make the wireless charger .. but I'm not sure how yet.. :/ I will keep reading and post here if I get it working..

I assume that the physical connection is totally possible but the OS will most likely need to be able to control voltage and jazz so I'm not sure what would be needed for that part..

Thanks for all the interest and offers for assistance. Being that its my friend's birthday as well as my own on top of fathers day weekend I won't start any design research until Monday.

I have ordered some parts which should be here late next week. I am still trying to find a source for some type B micro USB plugs. Guess I'll shoud stop throwing away those electronic component magazines. I did a quick search and found some but they were $6.50 each with $10 shipping. If any of you have a source for these let me know. Hell you can send me spare cables and I'll deconstruct them if I have to, but that's not very fun.

When I get on my PC I'll add a poll to see where you all would like this topic to be. Then I'll ask you how do I move it :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaisyPlucksta:
Lets do it!

I actually got the touchstone and pre back and ripped out the inductive charging circuit just for this (I actually got it for my evo, but I upgraded before I had the chance to follow the evo guide). I'm excited for this!

Anyway - some heads up - the E4GT is MUCH heavier and bigger than the pre. Don't expect it to stay firmly attached. It will stay okay, but you need a really thin back face of the case. You may also try replacing the thin magnets with thicker rare earths. I actually got it under the stock cover okay, and that worked decently, but no good way to attach it. That's where I quit (after thinking about soldering to the board, but not having a good place on the USB connector without taking the phone all of the way apart. I also didn't fins another point on the board to solder to (like the charging circuit), although I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Also, you need to mount the inductive charging circuit a little low because the phone is so long that it will hit the table and not mount properly if you put it in the middle. Furthermore, be ware that if you add a connector to the USB port, this will exacerbate this problem, perhaps to the point of requiring landscape or stronger magnets.

The USB connector you want are available at a number of places. Ebay has some cheap micro usb adapters (including right angle) that you might play with. If you just want the connector itself, it will likely be more expensive, but I suggest checking mouser or digikey.

Good luck! This will be AWESOME!

Should be more in the accessories category
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
that's kinda more for like accessories that people have found, reviewed or can purchase. this is more development bound, you can tell by the high number of interested feedback about the development of said item.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I've already modded my phone to use the pre wireless charging...

Got tired of plugging it in all the time.

It's two wires and some sticker.... seriously easy. Waste of time to copper foil it. Won't survive shock drops imho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
For the unbelievers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
It looks as though you also went for the wired to the inside of the phone solution? This is not what we are looking to do here but I'm sure there is much you can share that will help.

Such as...

What is the charge times vs wall plug?

What is the output from the inductive charger to the phone?

The palm pre wall charger is the same output as E4GT (5V@1A) but I have not found the specs on the inductive charger therefore can't provide any inductive charge time estimates. Once my stuff comes in I will taking some readings but that wont be for another week. :(

If you have a pair of calipers, or better yet a micrometer, could get me a measurement of the thickness of the inductive sticker?

Please let us know any other valuable information you learned during your mod, links used etc so I can add it to first post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
Not sure right now. Maybe hakcenter has exact time since he has done this.

Due to inherent losses of inductive charging, charge time will be less than a wall charger.

If you can find a listed charge time for the palm pre on the inductive charger it will be slightly long due to the fact that the palm pre has a smaller capacity battery (1150mAh vs E4GT's 1850mAh).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Just FYI - This is the guide I used to start working on mine. I got to the part where I needed to start soldering and I got sick to my stomach. I have no problem soldering stuff but I was a little paranoid...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ga4...0A&annotation_id=annotation_596118&feature=iv

The guide is for the International GS2 but the powering system is essentially the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I'll be away from my house for 3 days so i really can't help with any measurements.

Soldering was really simple. Don't know why anyone would use foil as shock will eventually tear it. And going through the USB port prevents over charging.

Charging is not as fast especially when i put on my armor, i need to rotate my coil 180° since the charging is less finicky about position while on the puck.

But it's totally awesome... Driving around phone is totally secure on the puck even in hard breaking and acceleration all while charging. I might make a mount for my truck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
If someone was going to make a mass producible mod, the best way would be to make an armor then have a secure USB plugin.

Probably will be made now that I mentioned it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
Exactly

That is actually the design intent I listed for this thread. ;)

We are not looking to solder anything to the phone, leaving the phone completely stock. Using a usb interface moded to a case for the simplest end user experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Buy a touch stone cover. Buy a micro USB pig tail.

Attach coil to armor, solder pig tail to coil, plug into phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
That bees it my man. However I will be ordering the the micro usb plug to fab a low profile attachment. My main concern for this project is protecting the plug against drops etc and a clean professional look. Ballistic cases may provide the clearance needed but I wont know until I get them in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
Glad yours worked out so well! Could you elaborate on what you mean by you "need to rotate the coil 180"

Oh and my coils came in :) but the apartment office has them :( and they are gone. Was really hoping to start today. My pucks wont be in for another week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
The coil... You know the copper spun deal with the stickers.

My phone apparently likes to be rotated 180 degrees. That is. If you turned the phone to the right, it's on landscape, then turned it to the right again it would be face up but the buttons would be at the top ie screen upside down.

I don't know why yet maybe my magnets are not aligned well is my guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
got ya... so sounds like an alignment issue, is it not fully snapping to the puck?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
It snaps just fine. Just prefers 180. Luul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
Lol. Very odd. I'll have to see if I can replicate it when all my stuff gets in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Well i finally got side time today, one of my wires was in the way of the coil. Taped it out of the way, no more 180° crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abw0046:
Palm cases are here!

I got the palm back covers in my hands now. Three of them, to try out different case designs/setups. :laugh: Now these are the Palm pixi back since I hear the coil sticker is smaller that the palm pre they should fit better. I'm hoping that charge time will not be affected to much.

Hakcenter, you using the pre or pixi back?

[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] BryanSo:
Has anyone managed to install Whatsapp on their tf300?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
Try backing it up on your phone with Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to your tablet and restore it there.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] BryanSo:
Did just that. It wont come out properly. The app just wont show up.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
Ok, how about this - get the apk of WhatsApp from your phone and put it on your tablet and install it. Then go to Titanium Backup and just restore data from the backup you made on your phone.

This is what I've done (just remembered this now, thought you just had to copy the backup and restore it) when I was experimenting with Android on my netbook a couple of months ago and it worked :)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] HotlipsH:
The app actually checks if it's a tablet trying to run it. Prolly need to dig out the manifest and change it since that has nothing to do with user data and can not be altered via titanium or any other backup tool.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
Works for me! (see the attachment)

Here's what I did:

- copied WhatsApp's apk from my phone to the tablet

- made a backup of WhatsApp in Titanium Backup on my phone

- installed WA from the apk I just copied on the tablet

- copied the 3 files Titanium Backup made for WA's backup from the phone to the tablet (obviously you need to put those files to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup)

- ran TB on my tablet, only restored data for WA

- ran WA and it worked
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
can you do this with a non rooted phone?

Does the phone used have to be the one you want to send the whatsapp messages from?

how do i copy the apk?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
No, you need root on your phone as Titanium Backup won't work otherwise. The apk is in /data/app, but you'd also need root to access that folder.

You'd need a backup made on your phone, since WhatsApp uses your phone number to send/show messages. If someone else would send you their backups, you'd see their messages and would send messages in their name as well, so that isn't a possibility.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks. it's a shame. i Haven't rooted my xperia play. Would it work if i inserted my sim card into the rooted phone?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
Probably. If you do that, check if WhatsApp shows your conversations and you should be good to go.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
where can i find the apk? I know you said data/app but how do i even get to that folder?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] w3by:
You'll need a file browser that can go to the root "folder" (not sure if that's the right expression, hah) your phone, like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, as the data folder is there.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] BryanSo:
Got it working thanks a lot :D Yeah I forgot to install the app first before actually trying to restore data.:)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] bazzio:
@ w3by Thanks!!! Successfully installed!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Saintom:
I think i know the answer to that, but i'm going to ask anyway...:silly:

there's no way of copying my WA files the same way from my iPhone to

my TF300...right?:eek:

so just wait for a supported version, should it even be released...?

thanks
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] BryanSo:
That I don't really know because its an Iphone. I never use apple products. But if its an android to android thing then something can be done
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
it works quite easy but you can only use it on one device otherwise WA bugs you do death with verifying your phonenumber.

if you backup with TB all i needed to do is restore it and it worked - but my gnex was also running it at that time so both devices went bezerk with the verifying your number. i killed it on my gnex and used the sms verify and WA worked like a charm on my tf300 - tho since i use my phone on the road mosty i deleted it again on the tab - but it definetly works - tho ofc updates will have to copied over via TB backup since the playstore wont update it (same with LBE privacy guard - not available for tabs but works the same)

cheers

PS: for iphone:

get the apk for your tab and enter your phone number and get the sms actication us the pin you get by sms and enter it on your tf300 - bear in mind tho that you still face the same probs i mentioned above- WA cant be used by more than one device simultaniously

(it goes without saying that you prolly should install with TB - so you need root)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Need quick help on this part. Just need the apk. Anyone?

Ive copied the whatsapp folder and the titanium backup folder from the sd card to internal storage, whats left? Need the apk
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Well, if anyone does help, i have the following folders in my internal storage:

Dont know what to do next...
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
The contents of them folders....

I did not move whatsapp to SD
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Saintom:
I can`t even get to the phone number activation part, cuz` the app doesn`t support tabs.

It`s installed, but nothing else.(dowloaded the apk and installed manually- it doesnt appear on play store search)

Does rooting make it work even tho` tabs aren`t supported? That`s one of the resons to root, right?

Thank you!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
true, you can't get WA via the Playstore from a tablet (even market enabler won't help you there)

you need either the install.apk or better yet a backup from TB from adevice running the same version of your rom( i supposed it worked for me since im using Gnex and tf300 both with aopk .40 (ics 4.0.4) and i used my backup from the gnex (which already had the activation and everything - so i only needed the sms pin to "recertify", ) if you dont have an android phone with a working WA mb ask someone who has a rooted ics phone and set it up once and use that backup.

and you don't need the folders (like KindaUndisputed tried)

i will make some screens for a how to and post it shortly
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
ok here it is - i made a pdf of it so its in order (ignore the screenshot from webkey - i only used it since the WA backup is done in a second and i couldn't grab a screenshot off it)

so here it is:

1: creat a backup with TB

2: it will be located at sdcard\titanium backup

3: TB will inform you that you have created 1 backup

4&5: copy the files (should be 3) from your source to your tf300 (either via network like i did or with the usb connect)

6&7: start TB on your tf300 and go to batch backup restore and select it and run the restore

8: WA installed

9: WA started

i attached it as a zp since the pdf would be too large to attach directly here

ps:

keep in mind that this can wreak havoc if you want to use WA on 2 devices with the same number

cheers
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Saintom:
So, i must advance to the big boys leauge, and root first...? :-)

I would really like to, but still not sure i understand fully how.

And need to unlock bootloader aswell for TB...right?

I`ve jailbreaked my iphone and imported files from thems to photoshop and customized them

To fit my needs, and edited scripts and what not...!

Would love to do that on my tf300...

Can u recommend a ""safe"" way to root from .30 ? There are so many threads, its confusing.

Some look easy some like chinese... lol

And the most important thing i need to understand is,

Can i backup the original rom before i can do any damage? So i would be able to restore everything to the

Original state.

Thank you very much!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
well tbh - thats something you have to decide for yourself. i got my my tf300 copied the asus unlocker apk on it unlocked it rooted it installed a custom rom - i dont think i spend more than 5 mins in the asus rom but you will void warranty with the unlocking.

you can root it without the unlocking

(i used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588 for rooting - though i put in the lines manually since the batch didn't work for me)

with root you half way there ( and you can use all the awesomesauce tools like LBE, adaway/adfree, titanium backup, and droid wall etc...)

if you want to use aokp or cyanogen you have to unlock though - and from what i heard from ppl switching to them felt a huge increase in responsiveness and speed (can't confirm it since i only used it to unlock and root)

you should root and for a bootrecovery i prefer twrp2 for tf300 since cwm in my opinion is too much of a wallet drain (i bought it and its usefull, don't get me wrong here, but twrp2 does it for free with for my taste a much better interface)

if you in twrp2 you can do a full backup which you can reflash if you want to go back to stock, otherwise TB is the backup solution for android

but your WA app from the iphone won't work since its not an apk for android. you have to get that from a phone running ics.

cheers
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
So, you NEED a rooted tablet?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
yes ofc since you modify (read and write) systemfolders that are otherwise protected.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Saintom:
Thanks for the detailed guide ! much appreciated !

I`ll try the batch first, and hope it works... :-D

In any case, i have alot of reading to do still...

And alot of new words to learn... :)

One little issue i didn`t get...no need for recovery mode here? Tablet on\off...?

Again, thank you so much!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
since you only backup and install an app no - no reboot, recovery mode etc needed. only root is needed and a ics source for your WA app.

you only need recovery mode if you want to do a full rom backup and you want to install a custom rom like aokp or cyanogen or one of the others out there.

cheers
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
I thought you would only need a rooted phone. Bit disappointing.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Buster99:
well you need root so TB can push the files attached to the apk to the systemfolders and TB requires root to run - but you "only" need root. so you dont need to unlock your tab. root does not void warranty afaik. only if you use the asus apk to unlock the tab

cheers
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Saintom:
It`s getting late, and the battery is low now... :-D

I hope i`ll have time for it tomorrow.

I`ll report back of course.
