[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I see this one for the iPhone for only $29.00 by amazon. Problem is it says nothing about it being Qi! This has been really frustrating-finding a combination that is just a little more affordable. If this is Qi+the receiver for around 26.00 wouldn't be too bad.:confused:

EDIT: Rats, what I'm thinking is to do the same thing that others did with the Palm Pixi mod. What I can't find out is any mention of Qi anywhere or if there is a similar or same Qi coil in the cover that is sold for the iPhone 4/4s. If it is Qi, then theoretically it can be moded for our phone at a price of $29.00 for the charger, and only $19.00 for the receiver. I'll keep researching unless someone already knows the answer.

EDIT: Finally found the answer by reading the user reviews. Companies can be so lame! Why can't they just post the damn technical specs where you can read them. This one for the iPhone does not support the Qi standard (a complaint by many reviewers), so this line of research has reached a dead end.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
OK, guys look at this one for $18.00. Maybe the first one is a good candidate for modding? The second one has four connectors, so I'm thinking maybe not.

Seems this(Energizer Single Position Qi Inductive Charger) is available at Wal-Mart of all places although it is not available online-out of stock. Just 47.00.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I got this straight from the Energizer Website. I hope they are correct. My Droid Qi enabled door came in, but I don't know when I'll try to mod it.:cyclops:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonftfw:
I agree with what some are saying, I wouldnt want to add a bulky external case like the powermat system has.

I found a back cover plate that was verizon branded with the receiver coil installed to the cover already. It added maybe about 1mm thickness, so my trident kracken case doesn't fit 100%, it had to be forced on and I can see it being pushed apart a little, but it is secure. I'm still waiting for my charge mat to come, so I will have to update on how it works out as I heard that the verizon covers won't allow the NFC to work properly, but I can live without that if thats the case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I have some concerns about the resulting thickness of any mod I may do because of the circuit board attached to the Droid Charge Qi charger. It's about one millimeter or so. I want that door to close up over it or it's all for nothing. But I'm going ahead with it since I can test it out at either the local AT&T or Verizon. They both have charging pads on display.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonftfw:
So since the verizon inductive cover was thicker and caused issues with my trident kraken case not fitting all the way, I decided to remove the receiver circuit from the cover and try to fit the receiver in with my original cover.

The downfall of using the receiver from the verizion case is the lower portion circuit, thats what seems to prevent the stock case from fully closing. So I de-soldered the contacts as they only are used on the verizon models. I also removed the board attached to the ribbon for the chargin contacts, that helped to allow the stock cover to close (note be carefule of the contacts, they have fragile solder joints on the cable that will tear easily and are a royal pain to attach again)

and just like ive heard, the ncf/android beam will not work with this receiver installed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
That thing is humongous! I'm having my own trouble with the unit I took out of the Droid Charge door. I'm about to try my hand a soldering tonight so I can test if it still works tomorrow. I have also been doing a little research into a possible thinner replacement for the ferrite shielding that this model comes with. The shielding of the Palm receiver is the thinnest I've seen so far, but that doesn't mean its the most efficient. I'm postitive I can get this unit into my original back door if I etch into it using a Dremel to recess it a little. It would be nice, however, to replace it with some third party material that is thinner. I'll post pics later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
I still don't know why you guys are bothering with these, it's so simple to buy this, drop it in and you know it will work with Qi. $22. The only drawback is the wait time.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pakakid:
Thank you!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Because it has not always been easy to find a reasonably priced one from any source that offers free shipping. I had two bad experiences with aliexpress which soured me on them, so I went this route. I may have borked it, but I've learned a lot and have had fun at the same time. Also, I've done a lot of reading and as far as a charging option goes, I have become really impressed by the charger for the Nokia Lumia. It is made by Texas Instruments and a lot of information is available on many features including safety. I don't like the form factor, but what I read will probably lead me to purchase that one. The other options are just too difficult or expensive to get unless you want an Energizer 3 Position charger, which I do not. If this mod turns out to be borked because of my modifications, I'll will buy from that source if the shipping turns out to be free. My mod has worked so far up to the point I cut off the contacts shown in picture 4. I did my soldering tonight and will test tomorrow at the local AT&T store. I've got every finger and all toes crossed. I think I will have to switch to copper tape to get back to a thinner profile and being even remotely possible to close my case over it, but we'll see if it works first. I went with the wire because of the ready made contacts at the end which fit perfectly. So, thanks for your post. I'll use it if I have to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I'm puzzled as to why this would be as the coil seems designed to sit on top of the battery. Do you have this problem with the coil you use?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
NFC works fine with the coil I used. And yes I use NFC all the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Thank you! That must mean the coil taken from that Verizon door is the issue for Jasonftfw. I have seen too many mods where the coil sits right atop the battery and no one mentioned NFC not working. Now that I think about it before my friend got rid of his Verizon S3, I saw it had 4 contacts as opposed to our two. I think they did something different with NFC and the battery. Anyways, I tested my soldering hack today at Verizon and it still works fine!!! The bad news is I have to go to copper tape to lower the profile. The solder joint will never allow the back cover to close. Also came up somewhat blank on a replacement for the ferrite sheet shielding the coil. I can find it, but to order it would not make any sense for an individual. Plus, I figure Samsung choose this particular material for a reason as opposed to what is used in the Palm Pixi. I'll move forward with my plan to etch into the back cover just a little. I think I can actually get this working!!!:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonftfw:
It doesn't matter about the coil being posotioned over the battery. they most likely did it like that to get the contacts lined up. But with the verizon coil, i believe the circuit under the coil that routes to the contacts is what is blocking nfc from working. not a big deal for me since i dont use nfc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I think every single Qi coil has a circuit board attached. Am I wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonftfw:
yes they all do, but it seems to be the position of this PCB on the verizon receiver that causes the interference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I should not have tried soldering when tired. I have the negative routed the wrong way!! It was too much of a pain to try it again, plus I was worried I'd finally managed to fry the circuit board. So, I'm leaving it as it is. Soldered the wires back on to test today. I wanted to buy copper tape, but could not find it. Then I remembered I had this copper foil from another project so I cut my own. I got it from an Arts & Crafts store. Blicks to be exact.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
To my amazement, it still works so I went to the next step and completely ditched the wires. Here is where I'm at. I'll have to keep the leads separate by using electrical tape because of my previous mistake routing the negative lead the wrong way. Not real pretty, things shifted while soldering and some will need to be ground down. But I have everything locked in place so after I get this cleaned up a bit and redo the two solder joints on the upper right (I've had enough soldering for tonight), I need to work on getting it into the back cover. That part is probably going to be the most difficult of all. If anyone knows of a thinner material I can substitute as shielding please let me know. I'm sure Samsung chose that material for a reason, but it is somewhat thick.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Here it is all cleaned up and looking nice! Will consult with some computer geeks tomorrow on a substitute thin sheet metal material that can offer the same or better EMI shielding. Will begin to etch the portion of the back cover that the circuit board will fit into tonight maybe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Update: I have discovered the material Samung used in it's coil is a metal foam. Even though I have removed the second layer and trimmed it down, I can't get the back cover to close over it. Still trying to get someone who knows a whole lot more that I do to point me in the direction of a thinner substitute that I can buy locally. I have found a few sources online, but they are wholesalers who are interested in large orders.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I finally finished my mod! I purchased the charger for the Lumia 920 and am testing it. In half an hour I've gone from 32% to 39%, which is much better than my first test which was pretty discouraging. Even though this charger has three coils, I guess it does matter how you place your phone on it. I have a FlyGrip on the back of my phone so it sits just a hair more than 6mm from the surface of the charger and it is still charging! I hypothesize that this distance may slow down the rate of charging, but I can't be sure unless I do the mod all over again with a door without a FlyGrip. This does mean, however, those of you worried about various thick cases have nothing to worry about as I'm sure they are all less than the 6mm of my setup! Also, I was worried that this mod had interfered with NFC. I tested three times at various Paypass terminals with Google Wallet. The first test failed, but the 2nd and 3rd went through just fine! I think I have to be more careful about where I tap the back of the phone on the Paypass terminal. I still need to test NFC with another S3 or Note 2. Will post pictures of the last steps and the FlyGrip later so you'll know what I'm talking about. Charging isn't super fast, but I like not having to worry about the power cord if I get a call. I just pick up the phone and go.

EDIT: So I'm charging at the rate of 14% the first hour then up to 29% over a period of two hours. About six hours to reach 87% from nearly zero. Not too scientific, I know. Definitely just an overnight charger, at least with this FlyGrip on, lol. However, I think I'll do another hack with the Palm Pixi and another spare door with no FlyGrip I have lying around just to compare charging rates if the coil is flat against the charger. I think I can use a Pin Back button as a substitute for an EMI shield as those are ferrous and maybe sufficiently thin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] winmx1:
It's nice.. but way too much money for this, in a few months maybe it'll cost lower and I might get it then
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Which one are you talking about? The Palm Pixi is the cheapest route, or do you mean one of the ready-made kits?

Does wireless charging work for custom ROMs?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Of course. I'm using a custom ROM now. Wicked V6.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExtremeNerd:
Overrated

Wireless charging is completely overhyped IMO. I bought into it when first announced, and was extremely excited. A week ago I finally was able to buy the Zens wireless cover and an Energizer charging pad. Not worth the $90 I spent on it.

-Adds significant bulk and heft to the phone. Coils are thick and heavy.

-Extremely slow to charge. I still find myself using a wired connection for emergency charging.

-Worst of all, difficult to use for overnight charging. For a TW based rom, at least, the phone vibrates, screen turns on, and beeps when connected. If it fully charges during the night, the pad shuts off. Battery slightly run down, and it begins charging again, along with the vibration, sound, and screen. Extremely annoying and impossible to avoid to my knowledge. Turning off media volume stops the beeping, but not the screen/vibrate.

Right now, this is cool, but still a gimmick. Still not ready for prime time yet. It is not all it is cracked up to be.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I don't entirely agree. These mods are to get around the thick/heavy third-party cases and the cost. Plus the charger made for the lumia gives only the tiniest little beep don't know about any of the other options out there. That doesn't disturb me at all. I must have vibration turned off somewhere. That only leaves the slow rate of charge. It's perfect for overnight or to just leave it there to pick up right away. I did here that Samsung finally will release it's own charger for the GS3 finally. It'll be interesting to see how it fares.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExtremeNerd:
True, I can't speak to any of the mods. I still can't get over the fact that Samsung announced that the phone will be wireless charging capable rather than releasing it wireless charging ready. It is now a year later with no official accessories. What is the point of releasing the same device on all carriers if you don't capitalize on the peripherals? Seems like a wasted opportunity.

After that small rant, I don't have a problem with the charger itself. It is the phone which beeps/vibrates after being charged. That can easily be fixed by turning it on silent. I can't figure out a way to stop the screen from turning on, though. Since I keep my phone next to my bed, that's a big problem to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I'm looking at someone with the verizon charging cover right now. I wouldn't want that thing on my phone. It doesn't look bad, but it makes the phone bigger. I'm at a Starbucks in Hawaii. I met a commercial astronaut last night and didn't think to pick his brain on the subject of wireless charging. He seems conversant in a lot of stuff. I'm going it to ask him about EMI shielding.
[HTC One X+] spotdog14:
I purchased the HTC car dock for the One X+ from AT&T this past weekend and have used it for a total of about a day now so far. The only thing I have to compare it to is my old Samsung Galaxy S dock and a universal dock I had for my Hero.

Overall I would rate it at a 6, I do not like the fact that its really hard to get in and out of the dock and that it does not have USB audio out, I have to use the headphone jack instead. This is a huge PITA over my old Samsung dock that had everything going through USB so all I had to do was slap it in the dock and go.

The mount itself is really stable, no vibrating and securely secures to the windshield. It comes with a 90 degree USB port for charging that connects to the bottom of the dock, and the cigarette lighter connector is nice because it has two USB connectors on it so you can charge two devices at the same time.

Beyond that I don't know what else you would like to hear, if you want to see pictures of any other information let me know.

BTW its an One X dock, but my One X+ fits perfectly in it.
[HTC One X+] TotalLamer:
How does the cradle attach to the mount? Is it a ball socket? Wondering if it would fit on the ProClip ball-socket mount...

ProClip has their own One X mount, but I doubt the attached cigarette lighter charger won't activate dock mode like the USB cable with HTC's own dock will.

Double reply. The one from amazon does NOT come with a speaker.

Charging isn't a problem, BT switches on (I have it on always anyway) and GPS stays off until you start google maps. As said my phone charges with ~ 400 ma. No issues at all, works perfectly for me.

If you have bluetooth in your car, the Official HTC Car Dock is by far the best dock (albeit for a iffy price).
[HTC One X+] tyguy:
What does this have to do with BT? Kidigi switches on and off, connects to the car or headset w/o problems.

That thing? Its just big, the official one takes up the least amount of space out of any dock i've used.

I also can confirm that the HTC official car dock works great. Snug fit with small form factor. Activates car mode and works on both the HOX and HOX+
[HTC One X+] joshua54:
Is it possible to not have it switch to car dock? Or exit car dock after u plug it in?
[HTC One X+] hyperplus:
I think is the cable what causes the car dock mode.
[HTC One X+] nugzo:
I agree. I ordered this after seeing your post. This is one awesome car kit. Puts phone into car mode automatically. Works with cases and without. Very strong suction cup. Cable guides on the back to attach charging cable. Very easy to install phone with one hand. The only think this doesnt have is BT audio like some OEM docks. This my friends is a winner! Thanks Andrew!

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

its the connector on this dock itself that enables car mode. It does so even if the power cable is not plugged in to the dock. I worried too about it being in car mode all the time but its no biggie now. If its docked, why not use the dock mode? I worried too at first but then realized when its docked i wont be using anything other than what is available in dock mode. music, navi or phone so all is good.

Video about HTC car-dock mode

Hello All, if you are interested in car-dock's for HTC One X we at iBOLT just made a video for HTC users.

This demo video shows how car-mode works in an active car-dock, we are doing a quick demo of the original HTC car app, a few others and most importantly we show how to change default car-mode app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc5FJ425R5U

In the settings of the car dock app there is an option to turn off the app auto starting in dock mode.

to get to the settings just touch (long press) in middle bottle (where signal strength etc is shown) while the the car app is running.
[Windows 8 General] takawira:
I have a Thinkpad X61 Tablet. It was running Windows 7 Ultimate before I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. When I invoked the Touch Keyboard in Desktop mode, the window would automatically resize as I type (i.e. window on top, keyboard below). However, this weekend I performed a clean install of Windows 8 since I wasn't happy with some of the quirks from an upgrade. Now, I can no longer get the automatic screen resize when I initiate the Touch Keyboard (i.e. window stays behind keyboard, making it hard to see what I am typing). Are there settings I need to change? Is it something that was carried over from Windows 7 during my upgrade but I deleted it with my clean install? I appreciate any help.

Update: Just figured out how to get the automatic resize. You have to maximize the Touch Keyboard. I guess I must have been using it in maximized form without realizing it.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The term is actually "dock" (hover over the button with the mouse) but yeah, it kind of looks like a maximize button. Docking the keyboard tells the OS to flow windows around it; leaving it free-floating makes the OS treat it just like an always-on-top app window.
