i got cheap one from ebay. There are six instead of four magnets.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xkravenx:
What size are your magnets?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idod89:
6x1 mm
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
Do the magnets in the middle heat up when you have the phone charging?

I ordered the same kind of Qi charger on Amazon. I'm hoping it can arrive soon so I can figure out what magnets to get.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jrmiller:
just snagged this one

gonna pull the clamp off for the iphone and glue this in there with magnets in it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
Hey mfab,

How did you open your charger? I don't see any screws on the thing..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Read few pages back. There are even pics.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Greefus:
I also used the LG WCP-300, but just used crazy glue and plasti dip; no drilling. I used the four magnets that are inside the InfiniApps Slyde CD Slot Mount when you take it apart. I noticed the dock charges very well even when the phone is pretty far from the charger. It was very easy to glue also since those magnets just want to snap right where the screws are going into it behind it. You just put a little bit of glue, drop the magnet, and you don't have to hold it, align it or press it. They didn't align to a perfect square, but it has no problems mounting. One of the magents did get a little chipped since I let them bang in to each other with super magnet force too many times. Plasti dip fixed that well enough for me so I didn't have to buy more magnets.

First expirement was to drill a hole and screw it to the CD mount.

It was just too wobbly while driving though with the heavy wireless dock. It was a nice stock mount before I broke it apart to steal the magnets. It was still a little wobbly before stock but tolerable.

..so I screwed it to my old Pro Clip swivel base I've been using since Nexus S

Works great now. Very sturdy. I still like the Kenu Air frame as an alternate dock. Can't think of a better universal dock for rental cars, new cars, and new phones, etc.

I love that this phone has magnetic mounting and wireless charging. The magnetic mounting makes it much better for switching to portrait also since my old pro clip universal dock would put it up way too high when you rotate it. I never used to ever switch to portrait view, but I have to with this phone since in landscape the screen goes black with my prescription sunglasses.

Thank you for the OP pedxing.

Here's my $30 qi charger mount.

Using the following:

1. Powerbot Qi Charger - $26.99

2. 4 Neodymium Magnets - ~$3.00

3. Some left over Sugru.

The 1/16 thickness magnets seem to have enough clearance for inductive charging to work. The Sugru really helped keeping the clearance really low. I will see if the magnets are strong enough to hold the phone through my regular commute.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 2006yamahaR6:
how were you able to get that for 14.99? its $26.99 right now on amazon
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Greefus:
Wish I saw this before. Looks so much easier.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
As usual, prices are not set in stone. It used to be 14.99.

It is neatER :p Mine that is. It is actually quite neat :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HTC-Gunge:
Mine is under construction at the moment, trying a slightly diffrent design will report back.

Quick question though... I'm using a metrans qi puck charger, on the back of the charger it says:

Input: 5V 2A

Output: 5V 1A

That got me thinking about plugging it into the car...if I use the inbuilt USB socket will that output 5V 2A? or Should I use a car charger and if so do I need to use a 2A rated one? and does the cable make a difference? I remember a whole thing about fast charging and slow charging and shorting data pins... anyone any idea / advice?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b1g1an:
Inbuilt ones nearly always follow the USB standards so it'll be 500mA which won't keep up with the rate you're draining it if using bluetooth, GPS etc, almost definitely need a separate one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndyCr15:
Some cables wont allow full ampage through... try a few different ones to check.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
This. Best to go with OEM cables.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xkravenx:
I tried to do this mod and failed miserably. :(. I attempted to put the magnets inside the Qi charger and the 2mm thick magnets were too thick and I was not able to close the case. At the same time, I felt the magnets were not strong to hold the phone in place. I was using 6mmx2mm N52 magnets.

Fortunately, I was to put everything back together.

Will go for plan B which is to glue the magnets outside of the QI charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
So I tried doing it this way. It holds through a case, however the phone gets hot after a few minutes of charging.

Is there any reason why having the magnets close to the coil can cause the phone and the charging pad to heat up?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] maback:
Found this on a web site. Note sure if it'll hold up to bumps and jars, but I'm going to try it:

hxxp://www2.robpol86.com/guides/Wireless-Charging-Car-Dock/

So I was tired of having to hold my phone while plugging in a microusb cable after I’ve docked it in my car. I couldn’t find very many car docks out there with wireless charging, and I read that Nokia’s wireless charging car dock didn’t work very well on the Nexus 5.

Previously I made my own Qi car dock by taking apart an LG Qi charger. But now that I have Google’s new charger I made a new one that’s much better. The magnets in Google’s charger are stronger and it looks a lot cleaner. I didn’t need any glue, tape, or additional magnets either. To make your own all you need is:

Nexus Wireless Charger (Model A010)

Mountek nGroove Snap Magnetic Vehicle Mount (or a magnetic flat surface)

A 2 amp USB car adapter (I used PowerGen 2.4Amps / 12W Dual USB)

The magnets in the nGroove Snap are just strong enough to attract the magnets in the wireless charger. The silicon material on the foot of the charger is also very good at sticking to certain surfaces like the nGroove Snap. Because of that I was able to drive around for three hours with my phone on the charger without any problems.

All you need to do is mount the nGroove Snap and then place the charger on it, and that’s it!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] primetimelive:
Works great if you have your phone naked, however if you have a case on your phone it doesn't hold up well. Even my phone with the Spigen Crystal Shell (which is pretty thin) doesn't hold up well with the Nexus charger.

I wish Google had it made so that the charger was made out of some sort of rubber material it would help the magnets hold.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ricey1986:
Any chance of a pick of the setup??
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xkravenx:
:victory:

Success. Finally was able to make it work. I had to attach magnets behind the case to make it stick. Without them, there is no way the magnets can hold the phone with a case.

The second thing I tried is to put NFC tags on the Qi charger. Unfortunately, something must be interfering with the signal or reception as it will not work when the Qi charger is plugged in. It does work when there is no power. I read it happened to other people as well.

Drove around and the phone did not fall!!.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] capo56:
Nice and clean. Do you have some photos how have you put the magnets inside charger? Is there enough space? Have you used 4 od 6 magnets? Any experience with the maximum charging current that this charger can make?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timropp:
Made myself a nice mount last weekend - a Techmatte Qi charger (currently OOS on amazon, but it's a larger rectangular style - about the same size but thinner than the N5), 4 1/2" by 1/8" magnets, and a piece of grip material. Works great in the car. I can't shake the phone off.

However, then I got a Diztronic TPU case. When I put that on, the phone won't stay on the magnets worth anything. It's unusable now.

I think I've still got some depth in the charger to put the magnets (due to the coil layout in the charger, they're spaced further apart than the exact N5 metal points, but they still work). Would putting a second of the same magnets on top work as well as getting some 1/2" by 1/4" ones? I'll start with the second of the same since I've got them on hand and we'll see how it works.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yanic123:
Here is my stab at the charger. The Magnets are N35 15mmx1mm. I stuck them inside a Qi charger I got off of ebay for £12. The magnets were £6 on ebay for 10. The mount is a brodit mount for my car (£16). Just the car section of it. Stuck it all together and this is the result. I havent properly tested it yet but the phone holds pretty neatly. Need to get myself a nice 90 degree angle long usb lead for the car to do a neat job. Around 2m should do the job.

So the total was £34 for the bits and bobs.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] coorsleftfield:
My biggest issue with all these solutions is that I can't use a phone case. I did see a video where a guy modded his case and put magnets in the back of the case, which worked..

Other issue is if your phone is in heavy use, screen on, Google maps, Spotify, etc.. And you wireless charge it makes a lot of heat. So I'm getting tempted to go back to a clamp mount and charge cable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndyCr15:
Quite surprised it all goes back together with the magnets where they are. Also, two possible issues some might be interested to hear about, both relating to the magnets position - Firstly, how does it charge? With the magnets, then the cover, that's an extra mm or 2 the coil is from the phone. Secondly, I thought those that put magnets between the device and coil where the ones that said their phone got REALLY hot?

Would be interested to hear on both counts. Neat job though :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yanic123:
It is charging, although not as well as it would do if it was closer. I just dont own a forstener drill bit no do I have any plasti-dip. Those 2 alone would set me back another £20 I imagine.

It is also holding, but I imagine something a bit tackier than the rubber ring that it came with will be required. I havent actually been for a drive with it there yet, I have a feeling that when I hit a big bump - it might slip.

I might invest in the drill bit perhaps later.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yanic123:
so it was a fail. It didn't charge fast enough to maintain charge while the screen was on. The magnets held it up fine but it just didn't get enough juice through. Back to the drawing board for me.

:(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Zathu:
Here's my take. I shoved a handful of the square metric sized magnets linked earlier in the thread into the cheapo charger. Then I super glued the charger to an old USB flash drive with a plastic L brace. I used a dual USB port car charger with the charging cable wrapping around and using the 2A port.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rockhstrongo:
This thread inspired me. I wanted something like the Nexus 4 charger, but with magnets. I also didn't want to have to mutilate the charger just to make it work.

I had an assortment of magnets. I ended up arranging them in the center, like this.

View attachment 2490847

I had trouble opening the charger without marring the plastic. What worked for me, was using an old credit card, and wedging it between the two walls of plastic.

View attachment 2490877

I then drilled a hole through the center of the bottom half and attached it with a wood screw, covering it afterward with electrical tape.

View attachment 2490867

I really like the results. The only problem I have, is that when I use it with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, the magnets aren't quite strong enough for my liking. But, since the case has a smooth back, it clings to the rubber ring around the charger nicely. I'm going to order some stronger magnets and see how that goes.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
I just received my n52 magnets 1/8''. Looks like they will work with case. Have an idea how to attach it w/o case. Will post result soon. Basic idea is to separate coil w/ ferromagnetic base from board and insert acrylic sheet under, then glue magnets around and plastidip it on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
So, finished top part of the mount.

It is clear acrylic sheet between ferromagnetic base and board, had to place 1/8'' thick n52 magnets on washers because of the wire that comes back from center.

Was not holding phone vertically until I applied plastidip (clear one is more of a white), now it holds phone in slim case just fine. Kuddos for the plastidip idea.

Plan to glue another sheet under on some spacers and then to just ordered garmin air vent mount to attach to.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] refinition:
If you want strength, go with rare earth magnets ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
Well, neodymium is a rare earth magnet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] premo15:
Nice job on these everyone, you inspired me to give it a shot this weekend. Here's my attempt...my materials list is very similar to others:

Kenu Airframe

LG WCP-300 Wireless Charger

1/2" x 1/16" N45 Magnets

1/2" Forstner Drill Bit

Plasti Dip

I ended up drilling all the way through the top plate of the WCP-300 because the plastic is almost exactly 1/16" thick so the magnets sit flush on both sides. I offset my holes just to the right of each screw hole (about 1/8" from the edge), making 4 around the outside. There is also a raised circular area in the center of the top plate that is exactly 1/2" in diameter so I went ahead and drilled through there as well. With the top plate face down, I dropped the magnets into the holes and went around the circumference of each with super glue and let dry for a couple of hours. Then I flipped it over, tossed it in a cardboard box, applied a couple of coats of Plasti Dip and left it to dry overnight. The Airframe seems like it was designed for this mod...low profile and it's just the right depth so the WCP-300 fits perfectly inside of it. There's enough tension from the spring loaded arms to keep it secured without needing any kind of adhesive. And the added bonus is that it keeps the phone positioned right in front of an air vent to combat overheating when using navigation with full brightness, etc. which was one of my requirements.

So all in all, I'm very happy with the outcome. Looking back, I can't believe how I use to fumble with my old ball joint mount, trying to get my phone seated just right and plugged in. Kudos to everyone who pioneered this effort. I didn't get any pics of the build because I was too focused on not screwing up, but here are some of the finished product...

There's also these

I used this 1/2x1/8'' n52:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008AZDJKU/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit

I decided to create sandwich w/o original case cause my puck is smaller than lg one AFAIK.

Also, 1/2x1/16 n45 were holding phone fine, but only w/o case. My setup with 1/8 n52 testdriven and hold phone w/ slim case fine.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] C2Q:
So after fooling around a bit with my note, I was wondering what the best option is for an app that can let you type text and also write on. There are many things I would rather type out than write (notes wise), but the writing is good for formulas and other gimmicks. I have been using S-note, it's good but I don't like the fact that I have to change pages so often. I would rather it be a continuous document like in MS word where I can just keep going vertically.

Any ideas?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcc111:
Hello, pretty rudimentary question, but: I am interested in getting a Nexus 5 because I hear the Nexus line gives you the least trouble among Android phones for installing custom ROMs and doing rooting and such. I am trying to decide whether to buy from Google vs from T-Mobile (my current carrier). Google has the phones available but says they take three weeks to ship. T-mobile sent me an email saying they now have them available; when I called them they said they had already sold out and so could not give me a price, but when in stock again they *might* be able to offer me a discount compared to Google's wholesale price.

Here's my question: T-mobile did say that if I ordered from them, the phone would be carrier-locked. They said they had the ability to unlock the phone "free of charge" (wondering if there's a catch there…). I honestly do not care if the phone is carrier-locked or not, but like I said I specifically am getting this phone in order to minimize nonsense when installing custom ROMs or OSes other than Android. Will buying a "locked" phone, or in general buying a phone from T-mobile rather than direct from Google, create any obstacles to mucking about with the phone's software? Is there some "correct" way to order the Nexus 5 (I know with HTC you have to order a special "developer version" from a separate page) other than just the Play link on the google.com/nexus5 page?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawalty:
I've been a long standing T-Mobile customer for years now. I had NO problems when I purchased my Nexus 5 from Google Play (was one of the first lucky ones). All you do is put your SIM card in the phone before you power it up. Its the new small (micro) SIM cards. I never needed to have my phone unlocked.

Don't you let anyone fool you on thinking its a different phone if you purchase it through T-Mobile instead of the Play Store. It's the same phone.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcc111:
Hah!

When I talked to T-mobile on the phone, one of the reps said they could probably get me a discount if I ordered through them, and the other one said it might cost more…

Maybe I'll just go ahead and order rather than wait around just to get a price that might well be higher anyway. Thanks y'all
