That's a perfect idea but I just can't bear putting magnets on my n4 even if its on a screen protector. Dude u hacked your orb up too :eek: but good work I wish lg had thought about this beforehand. Luckily I've had my orb for over a month now and mine hasn't slide once.

I think the whole 'magnet to align a device with a charger' thing is patented. Hence LG's seemingly odd choice.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Yes I hacked my Orb!! Believe me, I am definitely mad about the way it looks. I never have done poor work like that but i figured it was a test and if I screwed up, I will just buy a new one. But I will make it look better. The point of this is so you don't hack yours! A razor blade should do the trick but make sure it is extremely sharp. You will feel when you get to the plastic on the Orb after you cut through the rubber.

Also what's on the back of the Nexus is simply metal discs, not magnets. The magnets are on the Orb

You should see if there is room inside the nexus case to put a metal plate that won't interfere with NFC. That would make this mod perfect
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
I don't believe that the metal discs will interfere with NFC, but I still have to check. As fas as opening the phone and applying the discs, I wouldn't get as strong of a hold plus the glass on the back may break. I didn't want to risk it. As far as the phone goes, the look of the discs to me looks good. They are almost 100% symmetrical and by peeling off the screen protector, they will come off with it if I ever need to do that.

I don't have a case, just a sleeve that I slide the phone in and out of. Not once have the discs come off or prevented a smooth sliding in and out of the sleeve.

Thanks for the tips anyway.

My only concern with this is I wonder if the screen protector will come off the back with those magnets. Other than that, that's a great mod! I'd suggest maybe covering up some of the open cut areas with some electrical tape or a rubber ring of some sort.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
So far, since the screen protector has a really strong adhesive, I haven't had to worry about that. Plus instead of just pulling the phone off, I twist it off to prevent exactly what you said possibly occurring. It is so worth it and I hope someone else does this. When I get get it positioned in the car, I will post up some pictures. I just can't wait to not have to plug in a cable while driving plus have the phone right in my eyesight without any bulky windshield adapter.

Well done! I am always fascinated by the DIYs here in this forum.

On the Orb, maybe you can apply a layer of vinyl on the contacting surface? Now that you have the magnet, you dont need the sticky ring.

On the phone, do you actually need the magnets? I try some magnets on the back of N4, and it just stick like that. Otherwise, wonder if you can 'paint' the magnet into black color...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Exactly. I am going to put something on the surface of the orb since the ring and outer area that is hacked look like that. I was thinking some thin felt, but vinyl sounds good too.

As far as the metal discs, I did try painting them once before with a flat black paint, but the paint comes off after the wear and tear on them. For instance, the way that I get the phone off of the orb is by twisting it first then by pulling it off. If I just pull the phone off, I'm afraid that eventually the screen protector is going to start peeling off too. So by turning the phone and then pulling, the paint starts to chip and come off. I need something stronger for the discs to paint them so they don't stand out. I also could just take the palm Pre black adhesive sticker and cover them like it's done with the pre...

Do you notice if the magnet affect the compass or have any negative impact to the phone?

Wonder why there is no Qi Charger with magnet in the market till now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
No impact on GPS either on or off the orb, but I believe when the phone is on the orb, the compass may not work but when its off the orb, the compass is fine.

Very cool stuff!

I think the real reason LG didn't think of this is because Palm had the patents on magnetic hold for wireless charging. I wonder if LG buying WebOS would do anything....likely not, but we can dream.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
It's so weird that Palm would patent the magnets. I really think that LG didn't want to design a metal piece that would go into the phone on the back cover and then do the magnet thing on the orb due to laziness or trying to meet a deadline. Do you know how easy it is to get around patents?

Theoretically, LG could have made the entire ring a magnet and like someone else posted in here, just put a metal plate on the inside of the battery cover. Of course they would have had to make the back of the phone a matte finish so the glass wouldn't slip right off. There was a lot that LG could've done and should have done.

Ya never know though, as maybe it does have to do with the patent.

Did you see the LG "hockey puck" style wireless charger? Still no magnet attachment but I would much rather put that in my car than the big and bulky orb. I can apply the magnets much easier.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] digitallysick:
You should create a kickstarter campaign , to design a nexus 4 case with the magnets built in, and to design a "cap" to go over the existing orb charger that adds magnets

So 2 peices, the case with magnets and a cap that snaps on top of the orb with magnets, and boom! All nonsense is solved
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Enhanced:
I'm gonna pick up the LG charger soon and wondering if a magnet solution such as this would be suitable for a car set up. The only thing I would do differently than you is put the metal disks either on the outside or preferably on the inside of a case. While outside is guaranteed to work, I suppose that putting the metal disks on the inside of the case and hoping the magnetic force is strong enough to attract through the case is pretty much out of the question?

If not, I guess putting the metal disks on the outside of a case wouldn't be too terrible as I see that the disks are relatively thin from your video (on the phone).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Well, I and I'm sure others have seen how much distance they can hold their phone from the orb and still get a charge. I know I did and its approximately 4mm and then after that the charge indicator turns off. If you have a case, that's a couple mm's right there and then magnets on the orb add about 1 to 1-1/2mm. Then the discs inside your case add about a mm, so u would be cutting it really close. The hold will be secure for desktop use but I'm sure if it was held vertically if put in a car, it would fall off. Then you have to worry that the induction would go through that far. Definitely a good idea n worth the time. Remember, the palm Pre touchstone back cover is about $2 on amazon and the magnets r $5 at radio shack so its very inexpensive to try your setup.

Let me know how it works. :)

My own take on a Nexus 4 / Orb Charger magnet mod

Hey guys,

I did a version of this mod that retains the look of the phone and orb charger. Instead of cutting into the rubber face, I put the magnets inside the Orb and instead of sticking the metal discs to the back, I put them inside the Nexus 4 back itself. A full writeup with pics is on Google+ but the XDA forum says I don't have enough posts to link to it... So you'll have to copy/paste:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Very nice but my question is will this work in the car when the orb is vertical? Does the phone slide or fall off when you hit bumps?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
So here is what I did to modify the horrible job that I created to my orb. I took two pieces of gray vinyl and removed the rubber ring on the outside and inside that said the word Nexus and replaced it with the two grey pieces that you see. At least now you don't see the hack marks as much. The only place you see them is on the middle rubber ring itself in one spot. So I tried to fix it as best as I can and I still can do a better job but I just wanted to see how this looked first.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] EdZ:
Is the Nexus 4 not already metallic enough to attach to magnets embedded in the orb (without adding more metal/magnets inside the Nexus)? I've got a pile of those little spherical Neodymium magnets at my disk, and they'll happily stick to the back of my unmodified Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
The magnetic hold of the Nexus 4 will not even come close if you leave it unmodified. Try holding your unmodified nexus 4 to the touchstone if you have one. It will fall right off. Also, try placing your magnets against the back of the phone and let me know if they slide around easily with your hand. Also do you have a screen protector on as well because just the glass alone is so smooth.

My mod seems to be the safest especially when used in the car for all the bumps that are hit during your ride.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
I could've done a much better job. Does the felt that I put on make it look any better? When I look at my orb now, I don't see anything bad and that's because I'm not putting the thing one inch from my face, but I know it's still there!

Sent using Tap coupled with Talk on a device that will knock your socks off of my feet: Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] itaylor:
No, the magnetic hold is not strong at all on my version of the mod. It serves only to help prevent the phone from sliding off under normal use on a desktop/nightstand. To do what I did and still have the magnetic attraction strong enough to work in the car, you'd need figure out how to fit some much stronger, probably substantially larger, magnets inside the orb.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dgraziotin:
In my experience they are not that much communicative.

I pre-ordered a "series 1 case"[1] 3 months ago. It was supposed to ship mid-march. I opened a support ticket at the beginning of April to discover that they "would have shipped in the next days".

Around mid-April, I discovered that the entry for the Nexus 4 bumper had disappeared from the website. Still no communication.

I asked for a refund. They refused because of Paypal's 60 days policy for refunds. No other info in the reply..

I asked whether they implied my money was "a donation" for them.

They are now going to ship me a series 2 bumper. Hopefully. By the way, I don't like the new model that much.
