I am just following the tutorial so I'm pretty sure my wirings are correct. I soldiered 2 wires to the wireless recharging unit so I can't see how it's possible for it to be loose. What makes me wonder is, I bought this unit from ebay (Hong Kong) is it possible the polarity is wrong? but if it's wrong, why would I receive the message saying i'm connected within range of wireless charging.

Btw I got the touchstone and the palm pre (not the pixi), does it make a difference?

No it doesnt, it will work with ether of them.

Hi all,

I've one question (sorry if already said) : Will this wireless charging mode work with a TPU case? Or do the Note2 have to be "naked"?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] laloutre:
Hi,

As far as I have checked it does not work very well with my TPU case.

Without the case I have a solid 450mA charging rate

With the case :

* the phone does not stick well to the base

* sometimes the base isn't detected => no charge

* sometimes the base is detected, but I can't get more than 350mA

I guess I'll have to choose between case and wireless

Anyway it's a fun mod to install, Kudos to the OP
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nite4evr:
My connection is not loose, I soldered both. Still doing the same thing, can't figure out what's the problem :(

Any solution? anybody with a similar issue with their Rogers i317M?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nm8:
To those having problems with S-Pen, either it foes not work, it's delayed, etc....

I have also experienced this, and it happens when you place the Palm receiver is a little high. You should place the receiver in a low position. Make sure the Palm receiver's bottom is almost aligned to the bottom of the battery. Please look at pic 7 in the OP....

(Hidden quote)

I just tried this on my dhd (the tutorial, not usb version) and i found that even the palm was a bit too thick, when tightening screws, the screen had some bubbles, I loosened it, took out palm pre wireless, tightened screws and put it all back together. It was't the bubbles that made me put it back, the phone just wouldn't boot.. odd. It works fine now i've returned it back to stock (hardware) by removing, but I wonder why it never booted?

Anyone any ideas as to why my phone isn't broken but wouldn't boot with the mod. I don't think the copper touched anything... but I'm not certain.

I do like the 'origami' idea, as I was able to fix everything :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tonylee000:
I dont use the s pen much. I did the wireless mod a few weeks ago and it works great! I only charge the phone wirelessly twice a week though, throughout the night. Now when I use the s pen insted of a dot appearing on the screen when the pen approachs the phone and drawing when the pen touchs the screen, it starts drawing as soon as the pen approaches the screen which obviously is no good for use. Could it be this mod thats caused it or is it a setting that one of the kids has changed? Its not really an issue as I dont use the s pen but my little girl did enjoy drawing with it before! Any suggestions....

Edit: figures! Its working fine now :/ no idea what was wrong

That's the sensitivity on the spen itself. There are a couple threads on how to fix it its simple just remove the push button cover from the pen and turning the left pot will change the sensitivity

Thinking outside the box, or

What if I think outside the box, or in this case, outside the case!

I'ma gonna try with the origami leading out to the back of the casing, then have the powermat thing in a case :D

This way, my phone won't be tight inside, I might even shave a small dip in my case to allow for more room

On my dhd there isnt enough room to slide a piece of paper down past the battery so copper foil tape has no chance. Would be nice to get my old dhd charging wirelessly though! Done this mod on my note 2 and is great!

Mod working with TPU Case

Hi

Thanks to this post :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36081314&postcount=381

I managed to get this mod working well with a TPU case.

(for the records, here is the ref of the case : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390502473543)

Here are a few pics and explanations (most of the steps are common with the OP, then I won't detail them)

View attachment 1621650

1/ Roll and stick 2 strips for the contacts on the phone side (see pic 7 and 8 in the OP)

2/ Stick the charging coil to the case with its lower part aligned to the lower part of the battery

View attachment 1621652

3/ Roll one strip of cooper on both ends and install it in order to touch the upper contact of the coil.

The top of the strip must be ready to connect to the upper contact of the phone, taking care to avoid crossing the plastic pins of the back cover. Have a look at the holes on the phone side

(You want to avoid crossing the red area on the pic)

View attachment 1621653

4/ Follow directions in the OP to fold the second copper strip (the one connected to the lower part of the coil, see pic 4 and 5), but stop and fold when it looks like the picture above.

Same thing you don't want to cross the red marked area in order to let room for the plastic pins

View attachment 1621655

5/ Once Step 4 is done, you may recheck your alignments and shorten the strips on the phone side as I did

6/ Stick horizontally 2 strips (as always folded in order to help contact) in the inside of the back cover in front of each strip on the phone side (check again you won't cross the plastic pin holes)

View attachment 1621657

7/ Continue the path of the two strips to go outside of the phone case and fold it when it is in front of the folded strips of the TPU cover (using a ruler may be handy…)

View attachment 1621658

8/ Close everything and your wireless kit is good to go !

That's all folks !

Got it working on my AT&T SGH-i317. I had problems getting it to work on my original samsung flip cover (ordered on samsung.com). A couple things I noticed is that the flip cover has something in the back cover (it's thick and in a rectangular shape). Not sure what it is but I think it's magnetic and it actually repells the touchstone making it hard for my phone to stick on the charging station. Well I followed the directions to a T and it would not charge. I then put it on my original AT&T back cover. It works great. I wonder what the deal is with the flip cover. I may get another palm pre touchstone case and try it again on the flip cover.

@NM8. With this method did you actually apply the palm pre charging unit to the back of the case? Or did you mount it on a peice of plastic film? It looks like you mounted it on a peice of plastic film. Did you do this for modularity purposes? It was also thinking about mounting it on some plastic film so I can move the charging unit to a new case without the hassle of untaping and retaping. What type of plastic film did you use? Thinking about buying a small sheet of Kapton film and mounting it on there.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nm8:
You are right I mounted it on a plastic film. And yes to your second question. I used an old screen protector that I dont use.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] skim32:
I am not sure, but this appears to be a decorative tape rather than a tape used for conductivity. This is the one I bought (http://r.ebay.com/NnD97l). I says it's 99.98% copper and specifically states can be used for circuits and can be soldered.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] emprize:
so you want to use it for electrical purposes or not.....?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mikelav456:
Yes, of course I want it for electrical purposes. I guess the underlying question is if it's all just marketing/packaging and all copper wire is created the same.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] skim32:
I dunno. But the one you link does not make any claims to purity of Cu. So can't say for sure. That's why i'd go with one that at least mentions purity of copper.

Quick question for people. I read in the main thread that the voltage should be 5.6v. I bought a set 4 of touchstone charging stations on ebay. Two of them are 5.6 and found that the other 2 are like 5.56v. Is that going to be a huge problem? Will I see a huge difference in charging times?

Also, how important is it to measure the voltage while charging. I have yet to try that yet. can I assume if it reads 5.6v while not charging, that it will be 4.8v while charging? Or is that not necessarily true. I'm sorry, I have no electrical knowledge. Also I am having trouble measuring amperage. Can someone tell me how? Does the phone have to be charging to measure amperage? Or can I measure it with the phone disconnected.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] owl74:
The voltages are always not equal and depends on the distance of the receiver to the charger. Just do the mod, and charge... if it charges the phone in about 12% per hour then it is working fine.

First off thanks for this great mod, I found that it is not necessary to use the copper tape on your phone if you don't want to. Instead what I did was took a tooth pick a gently raised up the terminals on the phone so that they barely clear the plastic, when the back cover is placed back on it will make contact and charge.

Sprint Note 2

I tried for the first time today and didn't have success. The copper tape I purchased was from a hobby store but it doesn't seem to carry any voltage through it. That said, I'll keep dinking with it and see if I have luck I did hook up some good old wire and got voltage but not looking to solder unless I have to. If anyone else has tried the hobby store copper tape and not been successful would love to hear it so I stop trying this method.

Thanks for the reply. I tried scratching as well and no go. I decided just to man up and solder onto the circuit board of the phone and the coil using copper wire and worked first try!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] owl74:
try scratching the ends where you would like contact, because some of them have lacquer, so they are somewhat insulated...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dingokevin:
Don't know if I will get in trouble but. I have two stones and copper tape. Pm and we can make a deal.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] :
"10. This is how they will line up... don't forget to insulate the other exposed parts of the copper tape. I use Kapton tape, but you can use anything like electrical tape."

What exactly do I do? Stick electrical tape all over the copper tape except for where it meets the points?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] aadiflesher:
I have the powermat and the Palm Pre back cover. (see pictures)

Is there a way to use them together? Because like it was said in this thread, the special powermat receiver is to big to fit into a phone case. So I was thinking of using the smaller coil from the Palm Pre.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tabashir:
Nope, tried that as I did the touchstone mod first but have an external case so found the magnets not strong enough to properly work through the case. As the Blackberry coil is thicker, I tried the Palm Pre coil on the powermat in case it would work. Not only are the magnets completely different so they won't help you to locate the coil in the correct place on the mat, but even if you get it lined up, it still generates no charge.

However, I can confirm that the Blackberry coil does fit inside the Note2 case as that is what I now have. Not sure if you mean this or the 'Universal' powermat adapter (which is basically a coil with a USB cable coming out of it). This definitely won't fit!

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158978
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] aadiflesher:
Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I have the big white 'Universal' powermat receiver with an USB cable coming out of it.

Looks like I have to by a Blackberry coil to work with my Powermat now. I don`t have the one that looks like a skateboard, I have the one that folds :P

I can see in the video (the link you have send me) that it also works with a protective case, so that`s good.

One more thing if you might... How fast does it charge your phone?

Thanks again!
