wow, I though you were going to get one of the standard wireless chargers and make a recess, seeing how the face is entirely wood though, that is some damn nice work, you should make and sell them, just need a way to secure the charger in place and it is ready for the mass market
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AoaG_TheJoker:
I might make a small batch (less than 10). Would not be ready for probably five weeks due to the lead time out of China for the parts. I may PM some of you guys that are interested if/when the time comes. They won't be cheap though, probably around the $50-60 mark.[/QUOTE]

Very nice and elegant work!! ;)

You can add me to the list of interested parties, I'd be happy to pay for one!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] megashub:
I love your work and would be more than happy to pay you whatever you think is fair. If you do decide to make another batch, please add me to your list?

I'm comfortable with purchasing and mounting the electronics and magnets myself, if that saves you any time or hassle. I just need help with the woodworking.

Thanks!

Bob
[Nexus 5 Accessories] r00t4rd3d:
I could have one designed, cut and assembled in a hour. The wood was Purpleheart in the first pic.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rabaker07:
Yeah, to everyone else's point, I don't have the "factory machines" you have to make this. Hence I generally buy from Amazon.

But I'll be happy to buy from you. How much will you sell one of these bad boys, shipped to NYC?

PM me!

I think you should contact a factory in China and have them manufacture this for you, then go on ebay and amazon and sell em. Everyone on this thread can be your first customers and rate you 5 stars.

You speak Chinese? Ah, who cares, someone on XDA does! Down with corporate oligarchy! 99% can take care of themselves!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ultimategamer_:
This is simply genius..Great work!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
sexiest QI charger ever! Great work!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gregs1213:
I'd love to buy one as well or maybe two!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
Cheers! Fortunately I already had some holes above my charger. They don't match perfectly but it sticks and charges still :)

Is there a way to wire an led to the board so it lights up to show that it's charging?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
I took my LG WCP-300 apart and couldn't do it. The LED soldered onto the board was a tiny little thing so ended up using a bit of fibre optic cord which works brilliantly.

If you know electronics well enough, I can't see why you couldn't do it though
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
That looks nice man!

My board has two LEDs on it. They are SMD. You might be able to de-solder them and wire some leads to another LED if you're real good at kind of thing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
FYI - You can set tasker to do certain things when it detects different types of charging. I have mine to change it to silent when wireless charging. No NFC Tag needed :)

Thanks!

SMD is what is used on most things like this I think, same on my WCP-300. Complete nightmare to desolder as they're done with tiny soldering irons by robots :)

I ended up using fibre optic cable on mine

[youtube]AaCuBZrDWlU[/youtube]
[Nexus 5 Accessories] skrew37:
Could this be where you would solder the led? I ordered one of these and am way too anxious to get it!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
They use SMB LEDS so could potentially be very difficult to remove. You might be able to just attach another LED though - i'm not 100% sure.

I *think* the SMD LEDS are in the bottom left and there seem to be 4 of them. Perhaps kiidmagic can confirm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xVOg7nYH-E
[Nexus 5 Accessories] skrew37:
Hmm.. I might have to look into the fiber optic option. I've never used it before...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
I went an bought an optic audio cable and cut the ends off. Radioshack if you're in the US probably sell optic cable
[Nexus 5 Accessories] skrew37:
Thanks for the info! Looks like fiber optic cable is the way to go with my application.

3D Model

kidgenius, I made a sketchup 3D model of your charging stand. Screenshots attached and sketchup file in attached zip. Note that the magnets in my model are 1/4" diameter and all the charging coil + circuit dimensions are based on scaling off pictures.

As well, I don't see any reason why we can't just add four notches in the metal plate the coil is sitting on for even bigger/deeper 1/4" magnets without sacrificing coil-surface distance. See the attached "notched coil plate" for a picture of what I mean. Thus you'd have strong hold and minimum coil separation.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HughesNet:
I think the base should be easily weighted with some lead if needed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] steveo17:
this is awesome.

I have access to a cnc machine. any chance you can make one with dimensions/measurements?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zuberio:
Are you referring to 2D drawings that you can then manually enter into the CNC machine program? Sure - I can just take dimensions off the sketchup model. Is that what you're looking for?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] steveo17:
yeah i think so. friend of mine has the machine so i'm not sure what exactly he would need. i can try to find out though
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zuberio:
If your friend has one of the DIY desktop CNC machines then he can probably use the sketchup file to generate the gcode he needs to fabricate.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Yeah, those notches could work. Give it a shot and let us know! The material is very thin, iron ferrite. So it's very brittle. I don't think you could file it. Not sure if you could drill it with a twist drill either. Maybe a Dremel with a sanding bit could do it without trouble. I opened that file up and everything looks spot-on. Good job!

You could do lead. Cut a recess on the bottom and use some fishing weights. Or drill some holes and do it Pinewood Car style. I'm going to try to use the nano-suction material (Regabond-S) to hold the base down.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iljusin:
Hi guys,

First of all - this is fantastic project. kidgenius - good work.

I was playing with magnets and Nex5 today and it looks like there is one big metalic square on back under nexus logo. Like whole area between points you describe is feromoagnetic.

Is there 2 versions of Nexus or i do something wrong? Can some of you guys test it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HughesNet:
Looking under the cover you should see four disks . Just pop the cover off. No need to wonder.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Based on FCC photos, there are 4 little discs. On mine, when I played with the magnets, the magnets definitely were attracted to only a few spots.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
Mine stick to the 4 spots with more strength, however I can pretty much put them anywhere on the back as long as its in a square area of the Nexus log
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dunky13:
I would definitely be interested in one of them. And I'm glad to pay $50-$60 excluding shipping.

Best would be if you'd open up a kickstarter (with international shipping!)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iljusin:
Ah - mea culpa. Just trying again with stronger neodymium magnet and on that points where discs should be the attracting force is definitly stronger.

Anyway - is it realy such easy to open back cover?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] HughesNet:
Comes right off with a spudger or guitar pick.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slayp00n:
Guys are all missing the easiest way to line up your magnets.. Just put them on the back of the phone.. they will align perfectly, then trace that onto your surface.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
I dunno. Measuring is pretty easy and exact. Not to mention the magnets jump around a bit on the back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AkhmenHotep:
that would be a bit dangerous to use lead but I see where your going with it, it would probably be easier to put some sticky feet onto the base (and now the gears start to turn in my head), like the gripgo things that you put in your car how it has a silicone pad that grips your phone, have four 5mm disks on the base as feet and it would grip to the desk/serface and hold tight yet it can be re-located and with a touch of water on each pad become sticky again. And to hold the phone more securely a thin strip down the bottom that is black.

Alright everyone, ideas, NOW, this is going to be big, just gotta get it made for other phones with the wireless charger in them as well and bam [MENTION=1760144]kidgenius[/MENTION] you are a millionaire not over night but soon enough, just let us have some credit when you are rich and famous :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iljusin:
Bottom of the stand could have a triangular shape. Stand could thus be positioned horizontally. Like this:

http://allaboutsamsung.de/2012/02/video-samsung-galaxy-note-desktop-dock-review-deutsch/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dunky13:
Can't you just turn your phone 90degrees?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Evostance:
Don't see why not. 4 disks are at the corners of a square so the rotation shouldn't matter
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iljusin:
Yes, of course. but imagine how it will look. One rectangle across the other. If you threw it all aside, it would still be a monolithic block.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dave77459:
Wanted to say thank you for the OP... really got the thinking juices flowing. I think I'll make a charging stand for my car using Kydex to fit in a cup holder.

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nikunj.baheti@gmail.com:
nyc wrk keep it u[p

hey bro saw the op[ it was really cool stuff to do but it was a pain to go through the whole op would have appreciated if you had done a video about it (if anyone can do that that would be great)but none the less this is awesome and i absolutely will make one if i had a nexus 5 BTW how much was the total cost of all the materials used in the wireless charger in all???KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aladdin2101:
Awesome job man :good: :good:

any availability to apply the same on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 :confused: :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] texstar420:
I don't see the order now button

I would like to purchase 2 please!! Seriously if you start charting for these I am in for 2. Let me know. Very cool and good looking too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jrmiller:
really cool to see you in the xda video. like mentioned before if you want to sell id take 2 as well. :good:

[MENTION=1760144]kidgenius[/MENTION]:

Holy moly!!!

Your ingenuity and craftsmanship on this project are so top tier!!!

And to show the community how you developed, and documented the idea into something real and achievable... amazing!!!

Too godlike!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dani897:
if the material is that hard, you can use a diamond file (not a diamond rotary file/grinding tool, as diamond being carbon has an affinity for iron and will destroy the tool if the heat raises above a certain point) there is a chance a normal rat tail file will work but it's hard to say. i dont know the rockwell rating of the ferrite material... there are also CBN (cubic boron nitride) grinding tools for milling which will cut almost anything. you could try a carbide rotary file but it may cause chipping and/or cracking as it cuts rather than abrades..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] itsjdmyo:
Great job
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
I think the material is soft enough to be filed, it's just that filing it could very likely cause it to break because it's so thin and brittle. That's why a rotary grinding tool of some kind would probably be the best. I'm sure a simple alumina-oxide grinding burr would work fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cornelious2:
I would say if your going to make a small batch maybe just fab the wood and let the people that order one get the coil and magnets separate
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dunky13:
I second this idea
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
I'll probably start with a set of ready-made ones, and if there is enough interest, I can do just the wood frames and let people supply magnets/coils. It avoids the double-shipping charges (shipping to me, and shipping to others). Heck, I probably could even offer a choice of woods. Walnut, Cherry, Maple I have on hand, and I could provide others, depending on demand. That wood though wouldn't be cheap. Probably like $25-30+shipping (nothing set in stone yet of course). I'll keep you guys posted after my first batch....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gwertheim:
Let me know if your going to make more, I'd love to have one
[Nexus 5 Accessories] poczynek:
That would be amazing. There isn't a better looking or made stand than yours. Just trying to think whether it would work my Note 3 in relation to the magnets.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dunky13:
I'd order two wooden ones or one fully assembled.

Kickstarter or indiegogo should give you an idea how much interest there is.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I'd definitely pay the premium for a beautiful charger like this!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mingiunate:
where does one get nano-suction polyurethane?

thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] garrisj:
Add me as another interested in fully assembled.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Lots of places ;)

You can look around for Everstik! and buy little pads of it that you can cut up if you desired. Or, you can get sheets and/or rolls of the stuff from Inventables, who gets it straight from the Japanese manufacturer.

If you've seen any of the number of iPad stands over the years where the ipad just "sticks" to the stand and then comes off without any residue? That's the nano-suction material. I believe it's also what is on the bottom of the new Nexus charger, and I also think it's what was the ring of material on the top of the nexus orb charger. I also believe the Palm touchstone had some on the bottom (back in 2008). The official name of the material is "Regabond-S", but there may be other manufacturers making the stuff these days.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] neuroval:
Would be interested in just the wooden stand sans magnets and charging coil
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robdyx:
So this is serious... Good to know. Before my interest rushes over 9000 tell me, would that circuit, or any that you may use for these chargers, stop charging the phone once 100% is reached?

Man, you really should kickstart this, add a NFC tag and a hinge to make it more portable, and everybody will lose their minds.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Simonzi:
Count me down as interested in a wooden base. Can easily take care of the charging coil and magnets. But don't have the tools at my disposal to make the base :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmamedov:
When I red tutorial, I thought that it would be easier to use 2 thin (~2mm) wood strips to cover front and back of main part. That way you could make holes through wood and then put PCB and magnets and cover them from both sides with strips.

Good luck with starting business)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fallout0:
Awesome work! I would buy one of these if you made them. I wonder if the Nexus 7 can be held up the same way?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SterAllures:
This is amazing and it looks so nice!

You should Kickstarter this!

If you ever decide to make these I'd like to buy atleast 2, let me know if you have any plans!

Going to try to make one around christmas, hope it works out as well as yours did.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 2006yamahaR6:
any idea if its possible to buy just the coil and pcb anywhere other than alibaba? i'd prefer to get it somewhere within the US for quicker shipping

I checked amazon and ebay for qi wireless charger pcb ..etc but didnt see anything except for the rx coils
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
China was the only place I could find that stuff, sorry :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 2006yamahaR6:
no big deal, i just bought a basic qi charger off ebay for about 10 bucks, hopefully i'll be able to rip the casing off and harvest the pcb board and the coils for around the same price
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaga111:
only thing that stops me from making my own is that coil and the pcb...

was desperately trying to find it somewhere else .. since i dont want to enter my credit card details on such a strange website...

was hoping for paypal :S

edit:

heh check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47711597&postcount=1

found a similar charging pad on ebay for about the same price as the pcb
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Argumentation:
If you do end up making them, put me down for one, regardless of price. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
That's cool. Hopefully it's not glued in too badly and you could remove it easily. Looks like the identical PCB/coil though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] megashub:
I am more than willing to pay that for the finished wood frames. Adding the coils and magnets to the pre-cut and finished frames is not a problem for me. Can't wait to hear how your first batch goes. :) Best of luck!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slider162:
Count me in. Let me know when they are ready. I'll take two.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaga111:
if u look closely u can see 3 screws holding the pcb down :)

no idea about the coil tho
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dr. Cyanide:
Just as an FYI, a friend of mine was looking to do this and he bought some 1/4" x 1/16" magnets (here), as some people were suggesting. Using some double sided tape and a CD case as our demo, it took a fair amount of magnets per corner to make a Nexus 5 without case on stick (it was either 4 per corner or 8 per corner, I don't remember now). Add more if you use a case, even a very thin case. I'd recommend other would-be craftsmen not going with 1/4" magnets for that reason.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chozyn:
Amazing work!

This is real quality work! Subscribed and definitely interested in picking one up if you decide to go ahead and sell them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
I just received a small set of 1/4" x 1/4" N48 magnets yesterday as a test.....

They would not hold the phone. So I would suggest staying with the 1/2" x 1/8" (or thicker) magnets.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jacklyc:
it is impressive. Just ordered the original N5 wireless charger, drooling over it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ebright.xda:
Hey guys I just created a skechup for this based on the OPs design. I have a buddy with a maker bot who is going to try and print up one so we can test it.

This is the first time I've ever used Skechup so I may have made some major mistakes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NobodyNexus5:
Going to try my luck tomorrow, got a round pcb so will fit into round hole. My woodplate is 20mm thick how far should i go?

Thought about 17mm for mangets n48 6*6mm doing two oft them in each hole, could may be a problem with the pcb. Is it possible to put the charger in front of the magnets or should I buy thinner ones?

The wood is ugly but im going to put carbonfoil in top so its wayne ^^

Sorry for my english --> german ^^
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
It's not the thickness of the wood that is the problem, it's how much wood is between the face of the magnets and the back of the phone. Since you are putting the carbon fiber on the front, you could drill your hole the entire way through.

17mm magnets are a little big in diameter, but they still could work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NobodyNexus5:
Sorry if it was confusing:

Wood 20mm if i drill 17mm deep there are 3mm beetween wood and magnets. Got 6x6mm magnets 6mm thick 6mm long. But the qi charger seems to limit this: if u put the magnets under the PCB it will be about 9mm away from phone which is to much.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Timtim1234321:
Hello everyone it is unfortunate that this has to be my first post on this forum but I need some help . I have a Samsung galaxy s4 SGH i337m **Canadian version** It has been rooted and I have installed team win recovery project ... However I cannot seem to get any of the Roms I want to flash onto my device .. I HAVE managed to flash Cyanogen mod 4.4 KitKat to my s4 but I notice it is very laggy and also it will not allow me to over clock my device it just resets and goes back to standard CPU settings ... I would Either like to flash Gummy ROM 4.4 KitKat or stock ROM KitKat but it will not work for me ... The process I do is this ... 1 Go to the webpage and download the correct ROM for the Canadian S4 and I also download the Gapps ... 2 once the download is complete I reboot into recovery .... 3 I create a backup ... 4 I factory reset and wipe cache and delvik... 5 I go to the ROM and I swipe to install it ... and it FAILS every time it also fails for PAC ROM ... When this happens I restore my backup and connect the device to my PC and I go and delete the ROMs and Gapps that failed to install... I do not understand what I'm doing wrong this is nearly making me regret getting rid of my nexus 4 I never had ANY problems with it .... Can someone please tell me how to fix my problem.... Also if my problem is fixed I WILL be donating to XDA for all the help and support. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
You need to do a factory reset after your backup. Wiping just the cache and dalvik will fail 99% of the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Timtim1234321:
Ok so i just did that i created a backup ... Wiped cache and delvik .... Factiory reset and went to flash the ROM and it says failed so i read it it says this file is for JfLteCan .... I have no idea what that means but I do know I am downloading the ROM for the SGH i337m Canadian Version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Timtim1234321:
OK so I'm not sure if I stumbled across the problem myself or not ... After Rooting and installing team win recovery .. My model number appears to have been changed to SGH M919 is it normal for this to change? I'm downloading the ROM for the SGH M919 hopefully it makes a difference . if not I'll repost .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Timtim1234321:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Did you get the correct twrp for your device. Also get the latest version should be something like 2.6.3.4. Then in twrp do the default wipe, the one where you use the slider. Then flash the rom. Then flash gapps if the rom needs it. Then boot.

Hi,

I was thinking about installing Windows on my Ultra.

Could you please tell me if this is possible ? I have heard that some problem with the Bios may arise

thanks for your expert advice !

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jutley:
Urm i think there is more to it than just a bios problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TheOnly1:
It is perfectly possible if there is somebody to bother doing it. Years ago I was a happy owner of the HTC HD2....a device that could run perfectly Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, Android, Ubunto and much more Only iOS was never fully ported :) [ It could even dual boot Windows Phone and Android, Some folks tried even tripple boot.

There was in fact a full Windows 95 installation for the HD2. I guess newer versions of Windows would not run on it in at a decent speed. Not very usefull for daily use but a nice way to shock everybody :laugh: Sometimes I really miss this device and it's unique developer support. You could really have a totally different phone EVERY day without spending even a euro.
