I only use the palm usb cables and have not had a problem. I recommend picking up a few as they are inexpensive but deliver the most.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stu5797:
Actually, if you "mess up" you dont need to replace the back cover. You just need to take out the palm stuff that is tapped to your back cover. Then it is completely stock ;-)

That is the hard part. Once you have that in place yes, the 2 pins match nicely. I went into more detail about that on page 7 of this thread. Post #137

I know this forum is dedicated to the international version of this phone but it seems to be the most complete thread for this process on the S3. That being said I have a Verizon GS3 that I wish to modify but I have stumbled upon a differance in the design of the Verizon S3. Tell me what you guys think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] joelgrice:
Why did you have to throw a wrench in my plans?! I just got my touchstone kit yesterday... Guess I'll wait & see what other, more knowledgeable/braver people have to say. It looks like the extra two pins have something to do with the sim card but that's just a guess. Since they're right next to it and the plastic is molded straight to it...?

Looking at mine, there are some white letters just to the left of the left pin. They are partially covered by the sim card slot & I can't make out what they say.

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SJUnion:
I have no idea what they are but its possible they have somthing to do with the SIM...but what? The cover has no antenna's or anything on it that coincide with those leads.

Based on this quote from Engaget:

"You're going to see one key difference here that doesn't apply to the other Galaxy S III models we've reviewed thus far: a set of shiny contacts for inductive charging. Verizon's been purveying of wireless power for over a year now by incorporating golden contacts into almost every LTE phone in its lineup. Aside from this unique feature, everything else remains the same as its GSM counterparts (Sprint's GSIII is different in that it utilizes an embedded SIM card)."

I wonder if Verizon asked Samsung to build in a second pair of contacts to work with a cover that will work with Verizon's charging pad???? I do beleive thier pad utilizes a different inductive charging standard/technology.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] farfromovin:
I did this on my Galaxy Nexus and used 8 magnets instead of 4 metal discs for a sturdy car mount setup (yet to be made). However, I use a custom kernel with a AC fast charge method I set with a toggle. That takes me from USB charging (350-450mAh) to regular AC charging rate (700-950mAh) according to my battery monitor pro app. Point is, once the sgs3 kernels are really in full force, I'm sure the fast charge will be a kernel option (if it isn't already). This mod rocks! I have touchstones in my room, family room, car, and work so easy charging is just a magnetic dock away :) The touchstones are sooooo cheap now!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ncc1701k:
Hi guys, here's my take with copper tape. No soldering required and alignment is very easy.

Also if you run CM9, there's no annoying "now wireless charging" pop up :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mintytoo:
For the Verizon GS3, the contacts to the left of the phone work as charging pins (like with the other versions). I solder the Palm pixie charge pads to them, and wireless charging works. The top pad of the palm pixie to the bottom pin on phone and bottom pad to the top pin. As for the pins next to the sim, no clue what they do.

Im wonder why the gs3 still shows charging even when it states battery is 100%, and the charge led is still on. This is with wired and wireless charging.

It takes some time before it says that the battery is fully charged, even while it says it is 100%, it charges till a notification shows up in the bar and tells you to remove the chargingcable;)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stephangardner:
I'm at work and don't have time to read all posts thoroughly but has anyone tested the extra terminals added on the Verizon phone? I'm brave. If no one else has I'll toast mine. Only had it a few days. What the heck. I did the same mod on an EVO 3D, Incredible, Prevail, and on a GS II.

I agree with whoever said it probably has to do with Verizons charging pad. Theirs is different. But in the past I've just soldered to the USB inside the device.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] searley:
Thet shear fact that there is no physical cable(wire) connected to the phone.. And it is getting its charge from an inductive coil.. Then its easy enough to say 'wireless'

Either way, there is no need to have your phone attached to a cable, you simply have to place it in range of the inductive coil

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tarpon6:
I used Pixie cover internals to get wireless charging with my old Touchstones working. Even with the Pixie internals there is a bulge. I have the Sprint version with no sim card. If I could buy the internal plastic cover (the one held down by all the screws) I could cut out a space for the small Pixie circuit board that causes the bulge. Or I could use an internal cover from an S3 that has a Sim card.. I just need a hole in the internal cover..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Roritharr:
I've used the Palm Pre Backcover Parts + S3 Charger and an micro USB Cable from the Samsung Wave 3 and have 2 problems:

With the little piece of rubber on the Touchstone the phone is very hard to align right on the charger, without it, if its slightly misaligned it slides right of the charger (although i've used the metal pads). When its slightly misaligned the charger seems to restart the charging process every second, so its not comfortable at all to use it. On top of that i have the black screen crash issues reported on page 13-16.

Has anyone solutions for these issues?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RubenRybnik:
Yay... Thanks for everyone here, been watching for awhile now, just got my touchstone / pixi back and hacked it into the S3. Works really well, we did my buddys S3 at the same time. After messing with trying to get everything aligned for the phone -> wires I had soldered onto the Pixi, and just not being able to get it consistently working( didn't have any copper tape, and soldering a ball to the end and lining it up with the holes wasn't much easier at all. We decided to take the tinyest bit of solder and just attach it directly to the phone. This worked great, seems solid, and if I use a de-soldering wick I don't think you'll see anything at all on the phone if I undo it. Well, maybe a little silver, but that's it. Doesn't take much solder if you take your time.

Anyways, thanks all. Would have taken pictures but we both had our phones apart, and don't have another camera now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fylim:
Finally got my mod done using a Pixi charge cover with my Galaxy S1 charger plugged into the touchstone. Now, using the app call currentwidget, the charge current is 466mA. Is this expected and is it the max ? When I plug my phone into the S1 charger, it shows 999mA. So don't think charger is the limitation. Please share if you got a way to increase the charge current. Does the S3 see wireless charging as equivalent to USB charging ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pkoper:
No black screen crashes for me...

I only get the misalgnment issue if using a casemate cover aswell. without it, it never failed. The small round metal plates just need to be aligned very carefully.

First thing I did was to sticky tape the coil to the inside of the battery cover. I then moved it around on the touchstone till I found the perfect spot. After that I just dropped the metal plates and they kind of automatically "stick" in the correct place... more sticky tape an voila.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RubenRybnik:
Mod to disable the "Wireless Charging" notification

Anyone figure out or find a mod to disable that damn popup when you start charging wirelessly? Was on CM10 for awhile, so no issue there, but went back to modded stock and now it's annoying as all hell lol. Please say yes ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] DontCome2MyHouse:
Just got the Maxx and so far I'm lovin it.

What Smart Actions are you guys running to help extend battery life? There seems to be a lot of possibilities.

Here's what I have so far:

1.

Trigger:

*Wif-Fi Connection

Action:

*Cellular Data (disable)

*Bluetooth (off)

2.

Triggers:

*Display (off)

*Charging (not charging)

*Motion Detector (no movement)

Action:

*GPS (off)

*Background Sync (off)

Anything else that might be useful? Can too many actions drain battery life?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
I know a lot of people who set their 4g/wifi connection to turn off once the screen has been off for 15 minutes or so. I'm a programmer so my smart actions are never-ending IF statements. Here's some of mine:

Name: Sleep

Trigger: Late-night --> early morning, not charging

Actions: Data off, wifi off, GPS off, display 0% brightness, timeout 15 seconds, sync off, silent

Name: Sleep charging

Trigger: Late-night --> early morning, charging

Actions: Everything on except GPS, brightness 0% (burns my eyes otherwise), silent

Name: Work

Trigger: Wifi on & joined work Wifi

Actions: GPS off, timeout 15 seconds (incase a coworker tries to grab my phone), silent

Name: Charging

Trigger: Daytime

Actions: All sounds set to Loud, no display timeout, adaptive brightness, everything else on

Name: Low Battery

Trigger: Battery < 10%

Actions: Everything off except 3g

Some of these settings increased my battery performance substantially, with weak use of my phone I can make it last about 48 hours (regular RAZR). Never use Bluetooth so I keep it off 24/7

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
first off I recommend you delete the trigger "Motion Detector" from your number 2, I find its sensitive to the slightest movement and seems to override the screen off trigger (meaning whatever your disable with this action will run just from the phone moving even if the screen is still off)

by default I have GPS off completely, on the rare occasion I need it I will turn it on manually.

I use one primary Smart Action and that is a reprogrammed "Battery Extender" with

TRIGGERS:

Screen Off

Charging (not charging)

ACTIONS:

Background Sync (Disable)

Cellular Data (Disable)

basically with these settings when the screen is off its equivalent to a "dumb phone", you can recieve calls and texts but no "push" notifications, this increased the time between charges by atleast 20% for me.

Also as I say in all these threads not forget to regularly (atleast every 2 weeks) power cycle (shutdown then reboot) your phone, I went like the first month of owning without ever shutting it off and when I got in the habit of doing this I noticed atleast a 10% increase in time between charge compared to never shutting off.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to install BCM ICS but constantly stuck on checking partition screen at the beginning of the install. I searched extensively on the forums and found that it's maybe the sd card.

My question: do I need an ext-4 partition on my sd-card to get the rom working?

What I did:

-Installed Blackrose

-Got the partition layout 220-16-200

-Flashed CWM recovery again via fastboot, just in case I lost the recovery

-Rebooted in recovery en wiped everything

-Install BCM 4 ICS

Hello!

I'm planning to but original dock for my RAZR, and I see that there are two versions of it. What are differences between them?

http://www.motorolastore.eu/pl/p_motorola_product.aspx?i=225118

http://www.motorolastore.eu/pl/p_motorola_product.aspx?i=225121

It bugging me, since they are looking the same but the second one is much more expensive. And description is the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kulek:
Cheaper one has only one USB port for charging, another is equipped with hub and three USB ports. HDMI micro socket is in both models.

Ed. Ale bardziej opłaca się złożyć samemu =]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Stick_man09:
Also, The more expensive dock has a standalone Firefox web browser. I purchased the more expensive one and use a usb mouse and a bluetooth keyboard and it's like having a full PC on your TV through the HDMI cable. You could probably do the same thing with the less expensive dock if you have a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard combo but I am pretty sure you can only go into mirror on display mode vs the full webtop application. Either way, I think it would be a worthwhile purchase in my opinion. I enjoy using it.

Additionally I was told that the less expensive model does not include the mini HDMI cable. Not sure if that would influence your decision or not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] UrbanDroid:
I'm just wondering. And I don't mean to jack the mans thread, but has a powered USB hub ever been successfully patched into the dock interface? If its easy enough I might try modding mine.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Acuap:
So, basically in more expensive model you can access Webtop, while in cheaper one, you can't, right? Or am I wrong and it's only USB ports and browser difference?

Also, lack of HDMI cable is no problem. I can get one easily xD
[Motorola Droid RAZR] UrbanDroid:
The one I have has no USB ports. It only has HDMI, Audio and a micro USB charging port. I'm just wondering if a USB splitter can be added some way?

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Acuap:
@UrbanDroid

But can you acces Webtop App like on more expensive one? If it doesn't have Webtop app then it's not worth to buy it.

Also I have questions for other. Is it possible to attach normal USB hub to it and make it work like expensive dock? I mean, connect normal HUB with three normal USB slots and one microUSB for charging. Is it even possible without tearing dock apart? I know it's less stylish then buying expensive one, but unfortunatelly I can't afford it xD Life is brutal and stuff.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
Webtop is in your phone, not the dock. The docks play some tricks with USB pins so the phone knows which dock it's in and which mode to activate.

People have used USB hubs to add devices to the RAZR, with or without a dock. The only caveat is that the hub must have its own power supply and you may have to make a cable to have it work. Google around for it.

The ICS leak (.211/OTA?, at least) will enable webtop without using a dock at all. Just plug in an HDMI cable and you're good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] halx:
Confirming. I've got the simple dock for free with the costco verizon deal recently. No mHDMI cable included. However the web top works the same through the dock as with the cable only (upgraded to ICS right away, so can't tell for GB, but who cares now, as JB is coming? :) ). Tinkering with the idea of installing a USB hub board inside the dock. Looks straight forward, just need to measure the inside compartment to get a proper hub for parts.
