alex_Oncle_Bob,thanks for idea!

Did you talking about this replacement part?

If yes, can you point where did you see coil connection port on this picture?

As I understand, for not broke phone we can buy this detail and solder hardly Qi receiver to it, and replace original part with hand-maded.

Also we must buy plastic part to, for not broke original.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

ScottHW, thanks for original idea, this is very good solution!

Is you already try to do this or not? I want to buy new parts and do experiments with it, and if all will success, I replace original parts to hand-maded :) If I broke something, I always can return back original parts.

Here is parts that we need to buy:

hey guys can anyone post a link to another wireless charger that works? the ebaryy listings mentioned here are all dead

Kosee Qi Wireless Charging Receiver Module Card

I found one and think that it might work with S4 Mini: Kosee Qi Wireless Charging Receiver Module Card

I am a newbie and so I cannot post the external link. You can google it anyway.

It looks promising because you do not need to sacrifice your USB port. No one confirms this though. I will come back if I have already tested it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] ttaarrmm:
Update: I don't think this will work with my S4 mini. Unlike S4, there is no charging port for wireless pad. The seller's ad is misleading. The universal charging pad through micro USB is so far the best solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kms108:
you do know they also have a phone called the S4.

There are three ways to get wireless charging on the s4 mini

Either through the USB, mod the phone to support wireless charging or use a wireless charging battery.

forgot to mention, the USB one is not the best choice, they don't last due to the bending of the copper connector will easily break.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] ttaarrmm:
I know that. One seller says that it also works with S4 series (including mini and active). That is why I said the ad was misleading.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Any suggestion for a wireless charging battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kms108:
wireless charging battery is the easilest way, but they only make it for the note 2, S3 and S4, I think the one i tested the note 2 version, but you cannot close the battery cover.

These battery is made by anymode, partner company to samsung, the battery are also official samsung batteries.

I think the S3 is the best for S4 mini, same thing, battery cover will not close.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] ttaarrmm:
Found it. It seems the USB one is the most viable choice for me.

Many thanks for the information anyway. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Shipuu:
But this is true?

It's possible to charge without a charger? LOL. If that is true, woooh, much futurist to me. But a cool idea.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] BenVDD:
Interference?

Has anybody tried the idea with the soldering in the meantime?

I just have one question. If we solder the receiver to the usb-port, and we would want to charge the phone through the cable (let's say on a location where we don't have a wireless charging pad), wouldn't it break? Maybe by short-cirquiting the thing, I don't know..

So I would like to know if it is safe to use the USB-cable to charge if I have a charging receiver soldered to it. It also charges when I connect the phone to my computer. So, one way or another, when we connect a USB-cable to it, it gets power..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] redjamesg:
Just to try the idea in question here, I decided to solder a wireless charging pad onto the internal USB connections, and it turned out to work flawlessly.

Here is the guide I wrote on the subject: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Attach+wireless+charging+functionality+to+Samsung+Galaxy+S4+mini/44562

The coil in the pad itself has no inflict on battery consumption, so there is no apparent shortening on the battery connections, I guess the battery charging circuit takes care of that.

When charging the pad itself tends to get quite hot, then again charging time is two thirds or perhaps half the charging time as on cable.

One thing to note, is to have a charger with an output of 5V and 2A, else the charging coil has inconsistent supply, resulting in the phone to continuously switch between charging and not charging.

When charging with cable, there is no indication of the pad getting power, I assume the power distribution circuit in the pad itself prevents it from short circuiting.

My daily use is, with wireless when at work, since I'm constantly sitting at my desk answering calls through my Bluetooth headset and having to go to the laboratory to guide/try a few things while helping the calling customer, where it would kill the USB connector with the amount of attach/detach during the day.

Using cable charging while driving, since I didn't invest in a wireless charger for the car, and using wireless charging during daily hours at home, and cable charging when I'm sleeping.

So the phone do get a variety of charging from either sources.

[MENTION=6438460]BenVDD[/MENTION] Hope this helps answering your question.

I was reading and reading and I noticed nobody said anything about the NFC function being lost.

The battery has the NFC coil under the wrapping (that's why there are 4 connectors) - trust me, I checked. Some say that a good workaround is to just reposition the pad slightly lower under the back plate.

the direct soldering is something I've done on a Newman N1 some time ago and made the back plate removable. Right now i'm Waiting for this Qi charging pad because it has an NFC coil in it. The beauty is that metal connectors can be pulled from both positions like here: GT-I9195

I'll get back to you guys as soon as i get this thin, but NFC enabled charging pad

keep it real!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kms108:
Those are really cheap and bad quality receiver, I've seen those in china, and not worth buying, you can also read most of the comment posted by ebay members.

At least find a better quality receiver if you are going to solder them into the S4 mini.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] adibadro:
woooo wo wooo. ;p I'm not gonna solder anything anywhere. (leaving out the copper sticky tape I already soldered)

I've just made contacts available in the marked positions so that i can put the receiver "in" the back cover. i.e. even make space for it the plastic (i have a flip cover and that's a bit thicker - plenty of room to work with).

I'll come back with a picture of the mods to the phone. The point of all this is that right now my phone looks like out of the box and it's meant to look that way. No bulges. Think of it like I've now made the Mini have available contacts like his big brother.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] kms108:
if you are going to use the qi charging, you have to solder the + and - of the internal of the USB port.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] adibadro:
not to say that it's the same thing like what I've done for the Newman, BUT, I've done it before for the Newman :D. The "extended" NFC connectors are also soldered to the motherboard.

It's not my first rodeo, but I do appreciate the interest.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] duke_srg:
So, have you managed it to work with combined QI/NFC coil sticker?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] redjamesg:
I tried the QI pad he referred to in my setup, didn't work at all, on the ones I found there are some electronics to convert the received pulses.

The pads adibadro found only contains the coil itself, there is no electronics at all, so my guess is, they are too cheap to be of any use, the phone has to have the conversion electronics build in, for it to work.

Not fully an app but maybe edit the Google play music app to add Gapless playback functionality?? It's been broken since January lol. Maybe you can bring it back to life?? But as an original app, probably something to do with bringing some of the s4 functionality like air view or something?

I could maybe get permission from the Dev to make a variant. What else would you include?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pangolin.rollin:
Not sure how I feel about fixing what is broke ha. But on the airview side of things I believe it would come down to hardware limitations.

I'll tell you what I've been wanting... on the app Wi-Fi tether for root users, at the bottom of the screen it gives your current upload and download speeds and data sent. I want this as a widget!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pangolin.rollin:
Making a widget could be cool, I like the idea. So basically 3g/4g down/up speeds and total WiFi sent back and forth from tethered devices? Wonder if I could just pull that apps resources.. But then it would be app specific vs just monitoring services. What are most people using? Treve mod tether or what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RedheadTarn:
That's what I was using till I got my GS3, then I couldn't get it to work so I use the built in hotspot on MOAR Rom. That's why I want a speed widget....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I saw someone ask this in another thread and thought I would suggest it here.

"an app that will keep my home screen layout, ringtones/notifications, my sign-ins, my WiFi password my custom setting etc to how I like things and still let me do a complete system wipe."

I assume he wants to do a fresh install of a ROM then install the app in question and have it set up his ROM for him. I thought it sounded like a cool idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Nova launcher will backup your setup. Using an app to restore data is generally not a good idea. It basically turns a clean install to a dirty 1. It may cause issues. But you can look into titanium backup for other data backup.

THEMER- the stupidest thing ever to have users add widgets to their homescreens since UCCW and Zooper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
That's pretty much what I told him but I referenced Apex launcher instead. :) I'm not sure if a 3rd party app could be developed to mimic what Nova and Apex do to save the arrangement of icons, widgets and wallpaper on tw launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I've never tried but tibu would be your best bet if at all possible. Although annoying to do, it's not that hard to reset my widgets. Plus I'm not a crackflasher. Been on the same rom for months. Lol

Hi.

I want to switch to ViperS 3.1.2 but have few questions before I do so. I've never done it before so I'm new to this.

Does it come rooted (or do all ROMs come rooted)?

Is there any instruction on how to do it or just flash it from .zip via the recovery mode (I have CWM 5.x.x installed already)?

And are there any bugs with it such as Wi-Fi problems/tethering, or calls (speaker)?

Also, what if something goes wrong? I've got a backup of my current ROM (stock), so do I just flash that one back or try ViperS' in case it was a mistake on my side?

Lastly, I've heard some people mentioning OTA updates. I'm assuming it's done in the same way as stock ROMs, so you just need Wi-Fi/working internet and the new update will install on its own, or do I have to download the update from here and then do it myself?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off then you can flash the zip directly from recovery and if you're S-On then you gotta flash 4EXT recovery first and enable smart flash feature and then flash the zip file.

There are no major bugs in the Rom except the ones listed on the OP of the official thread. Enjoy flashing.
[HTC Sensation] MrCatalyst:
I'm S-Off. I've had root earlier but I've installed SuperSU and accidentally pressed Clean SU which has pretty much wiped it. :|
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Post your bootloader details to make things more clearer. Flashing a custom Rom doesn't need root access. You can flash it as you're s-off.

What Rom you're using currently? What firmware?
[HTC Sensation] MrCatalyst:
I apologise for not posting, although it may be a bit too late now since I'm already installing the ROM.

So, just wanna know now - do ROMs come rooted, and if I can always go back to stock ROM as long as I have the boot.img/download stock ROM from HTC site?
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Yup they come pre-rooted
[HTC Sensation] MrCatalyst:
Thanks for the help, everyone! Managed to install the ROM, despite being stuck in bootloop for 2 hours but it works flawlessly now. :D
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Most roms come rooted, and the rest provide root tools so you have a choice while flashing.

To return to stock look up ruu. An ruu + s on = your device as it came.

[HTC Sensation] astar26:
If you made a backup before flashing you should restore it, or else flash the ROM you had before flashing.

Then use "Titanium Backup" and back up your messages (your contacts are automatically synced with your google account, unless you saved them on the phone, but you can change that with the "people" app.

after you backed your phone up, make a full wipe, and flash the new ROM. Install Titanium Backup and restore your messages backup.

Good luck.
