Seems like a decent idea, need a tester let me know I have 2 nexus 5s I can test with running both lollipop and kitkat. If you are looking for a beta tester just let me know :p figured it'd be worth a try :) whats the charge rate of the wireless charger? Would need something above 1000mah pulling wise. My current pocket charger does 800 and my home charger does 1400 so would like something in the middle but anything higher would be awesome :) it looks like a decent product.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Thanks very much for this toxicapaulution! We're not looking for beta-testers per se, we don't have enough prototypes to go around. That said, if you want to watch our product and app videos and give your feedback to influence our product development, I have created a private community for our closest supporters to do just that: http://jointheamps.novelsys.co!

It'll be great if you could drop your email there, and I'll process your invite. The charge rate of the wireless charger is just shy of 1000mah at the moment. I haven't found it to be a problem, because I'm always slipping my phone into the sleeve so it's always charged anyway. Plus, there's a usb port available when in urgent need of fast charging. Best of both worlds.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toxicpaulution:
Alright sounds like an awesome idea. Yeah I'll drop by and let my email there. This sounds like an amazing product and I'm an influence around my peers. So I'll see how this grows and I might get you a few more people to purchase :)

Not sure if you guys have seen this parody ad. It's hilarious.

Anyway, we met the Book Book man at a startup event, and in his personal capacity he was very pleased with ampere and happy to pose with it! Personally, my mind is blown and I hope there are people here as excited as I am!

If the product is going up on kickstarter in January, when's the rough ball park for it to be ship to backers? I tend to change my phone quite often and while I've only just purchased the Nexus 5, I'm not sure I'll have it this time next year. I'd love for my future phone to have built-in Qi charging or be compatible with an after market Qi charging device but this may not happen depending on what phone I desire in the future. If only they incorporated Qi charging into all phones as standard.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
At the moment, it looks like majority will be shipped in June. We're already ordering the components.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Wow, all that before you even go up on kickstarter?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
EDIT: deleted, didn't quote post
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Yup, in limited quantities. We need Kickstarter to succeed or we won't be able to complete the amperes though. But we also need to assure our backers that we can deliver. Hence, this delicate balance.

We're not making the mistake of other projects and sullying the spirit of Kickstarter by going onto the platform with just a barely functional prototype without knowing whether or not the product is manufacturer-ready.

Happy Thanksgiving btw!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
That's really sensible as there are so many horror stories over failed kickstarter projects that were doomed from the start. Looking forward to receiving full details about it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Guys I'm freaking excited. The ampere app has really expanded in usefulness. Now not only can you track ampere / your phone, remind yourself to charge ampere/ your phone, you can now use ampere to open the camera app and take a photo!

It's great fun. Let me know if you have any more ideas on how you want ampere to make your smartphone easier to use
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Hi, I don't mean to be a party pooper but I would encourage not to make the application too feature rich. Adding extra functionality introduces complexity, which can reduce robustness and can risk making it less user friendly. It could also compromise the usability of it's primary purpose. A user is going to be much more happier with a simple and robust app that does the main thing well than an app that does lots of things but is unstable (force closes, crashes, slowness etc). Rather than squeeze them all into one app, how about a suite of apps that the user can choose which ones they want to install. You'd have the best of both worlds then. You'd also have better feedback (via reviews, crash reports, download stats etc) to see what users want and where the focus should be shifted to for continued support and development.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Thanks for the feedback. Fair enough. Yes, on introspection, I don't want to dilute the product too much. I will offer the API and let developers do what they want with it post-Kickstarter instead, for now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Yes, I definitely think this is a better way to go. Offer user choice without compromising on the quality of the core functionality
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. It would go in a pocket in my toolbag (the same one that my N5 goes in now) so I can keep my phone topped off while it's stashed away. It's actually EXACTLY what I need, now that I know it exists. Just keep the price reasonable and you have a guaranteed customer right here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
My thoughts exactly. I'm always keen to get it as soon as possible but not at the expense of quality. I've already registered my email address on the page you linked but please also let us know on here too once it goes up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Will do. Thanks folks. (Update on the side: I'm so excited, just filmed the Kickstarter video this weekend)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rich_bown:
Hmmmmmmmmmmm <interested face>

I would be interested in this if 1) the price is right, and 2) it's not too bulky

If it can charge my phone (QI?) whilst in my jacket inside pocket it would be a lifesaver.

My moto360 would be telling me if I need to get my phone out to answer an important call or not so a clear front not particularly important to me
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
That's brilliant! Wish I'd thought of that scenario for our kickstarter video... it makes sense to show the phone in the sleeve charging while notifications are on the Moto 360... damn... Well, at least I hope the product helps you!

By the way, we got mentioned by Qi Wireless. Woohoo!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Have you published the kickstarter video yet or still a work in progress? I too have a Moto 360 and would use it in partnership with my Nexus 5 but the cut out window for the case is a good idea too for those that don't have a smart watch companion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
It's a work in progress!

Been hard at work, but here's a 30 second teaser: Let me know what you guys think!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Huh?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Niflheimer:
Is your sleeve going to have an internal battery pack or it's just the qi controller/voltage regulators +coil ?

Edit : I just checked the kickstarter . Any chance of designing it so you can replace the battery with a bigger / slimmer one if needed ? It doesn't have to be user-friendly - just little things like maybe a header for the input connections or a screwed instead of glued panel above the battery.

A passthrough option for the QI block would be very nice as well - allowing you to bypass the battery if needed. If that's possible , is your circuit cable of supporting different input voltages ? By that I mean buck-boost or a simpler 3.3-4.7v to 5 v boost switcher ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Thanks for the video link. I wanted to ask, is the product in that video a reasonably representative prototype? What size battery does it have? It's a lot thicker than I thought. Will there be a smaller capacity option which is much thinner?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
It is a reasonably representative prototype. It has a 2,700 mAh battery. The thing is, feedback is pretty much universal that the product feels much thinner and lighter than it actually looks in the video. I would attribute it to the lighting, angles, and the unfortunate looseness of the material that makes it look bulkier than it actually is. In full disclosure, we're still working on the product and hopefully it looks much better by the time it's delivered (Current dimensions using a clamp so with all the air squeezed out: 3.0" X 5.2" X 0.6"). We're exploring new fabric manufacturers now and a new manufacturing method that will allow us to make a new sleeve which is much tauter and with the gaps sealed up. As always, I'll keep you updated as the product develops. Just wanted to clarify further as many aspects of the product are still under development and seeing a product even before it's launched on Kickstarter means being fairly involved in that process. If it would help you project where the product is going, I'll be doing up a blog post of our prototype history soon.

At the moment, there are no plans to drop below 2,700mAh, which I think hits the sweet spot of portability and function, especially for Android phones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techno79:
Please forgive me if this sounds party pooper-ish, I do not mean it to but simply trying to understand. I'm currently using an Anker Astro Slim 3 external battery. It's a 6000mAh external battery with dimensions of 70mm x 134mm x 12mm (2.76" x 5.28" x 0.47"). With Ampere having less than half the battery capacity, I would have thought that the thickness would be about half of that. What else would be taking up so much of the internal space? How much does the Qi induction charging stuff take up?

If I can be brutally honest (and I hope that this is of more value to you than something which is less truthful, sugar coated or staying completely silent), with Ampere designed as a pouch, it will mean that the complete thickness of it will be 0.6" thick + the thickness of the phone. With my Nexus 5 (which is a relatively thin phone at 0.34" thick) this will be close to a whole 1" thick. While this might be ok being stored in a purse, being a guy I will be keeping it in my front jeans pocket (like nearly all the other guys I've ever seen). There's no way I could get away keeping a 1" thick phone in my front jeans pocket. By comparison, I was using a Samsung Galaxy S4 with the ZeroLemon 7500mAh extended battery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QNUw_s6rAs). The charge to charge time was amazing but the phone thickness was only 0.63" thick with it on. This is about the very top end (possibly even that was too big) for what I could use in my front jeans pocket.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Hi [MENTION=5306727]Niflheimer[/MENTION], thanks for your suggestion and sorry for the delayed response, was working on this reply! We are not able to change the way the battery is integrated into the sleeve at the moment as it would affect the product certification.

However, we continue to work to improve our current version and we intend to make the electrical circuit even smaller to allow for a larger and slimmer battery.

Currently, the main power source for the circuit is the portable battery (Lithium Polymer, 3.7V, 2,700 mAh) which requires at least 5V to start charging it. We actually consider passthrough charging an important feature... both Ampere and the phone will be charging.

Totally understand where you're coming from [MENTION=1046014]Techno79[/MENTION]. We're continuing to make Ampere slimmer and more compact. That being said, it's unlikely that it will be able to fit in your front jeans pocket comfortably with the phone, even if we achieve all our projected improvements.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bennyp123:
Have you thought about using tyvek or similar material for the outer shell? throw a microfiber screen cleaner into the inner shell :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Hmm, not tyvek. We'll have to check that out!

The inner shell is actually a microfiber screen cleaner. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Niflheimer:
My apologies , I didn't know you've already submitted the design for the multitude of certifications you need these days. Regarding the actual circuit design , don't skim it too much! I'm sure there would be a lot of us who'd fork 10$ more for a robust version that can handle anything you can throw at it.

I've seen too many great designs ruined from penny-pinching - like using 1.5 amp current shunts for a 1.5 amp nominal output which melts when the battery it was charging was fully drained.

The reason I asked about the circuit topology was because I've been looking for product that can handle different input voltages , both above and below 5v . In the end I had to make my own ( a 1.7v to 13v SMPS that sometimes oscillates like crazy feeding a off-the-shelf QI unit ) . Given how advanced you are in your design it's probably too late to make any major changes that would catter to very few supports , but I wanted to put it here just to keep it in mind if you come up with anything else.

Overall I like your product and I'll almost certainly support the KS ( assuming I don't get fired in the near future :) ) Size-wise it seems ok to me - but then I keep my phone in a inner pocket of my jacket so I do have room.

Oh and one other thing - how firm is the phone kept inside ? If needed consider adding a strap to secure it -I dropped a few phones after putting the slseeve in my pocket upside down .

Edit : Given the efficiency of the circuit , what's the actual current capacity ? around 2000mah ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tongrhj:
Slightly less than that. I would say efficiency is around 70-75%, so effective charge of 1890mah? It varies depending on phone as well.

We've launched on Kickstarter! Thanks for your support everyone :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/670355041/ampere-worlds-first-smart-wireless-charging-phone

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] zoquetina:
Hello : I'm going mad searching my Galaxy Fit GT-S5670L chipset and I'm unable to find it. I've found that could be this: Qualcomm MSM7227 but after searching with my phone name associated it seems that that chipset belongs to Galaxy Ace. So I'm pretty confunse.

Not even the official Samsung site has that info anymore.

It's so frustating!.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] yogeshkotadiya:
i never seen this GT-S5670L and two device can have same chipsets.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] zoquetina:
[MENTION=6156659]yogeshkotadiya[/MENTION] Thanks for your answer. :o

It's the same of the line of the Galaxy Fit GT-S5670's, only that the L stands for Latin America. There are diferences between S5670 and S5670L, for example: the tools for rooting here in XDA-D for S5670 didn't work for my S5670L. That's why I've bolded the L.

Edit: I'm guessing these models don't have the same chipset neither.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] yogeshkotadiya:
You can use some android apps to detect your chipset like AnTuTu or CPUZ.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willwithaquestion:
Ok so i was changing my boot animation for my phone and i found one but it was too small for my phone. So i tried to change it through the app (boot animation). It failed and kept resetting to the default size. So i changed it manually through root explorer. I rebooted my phone and the screen went black, nothing. The system seemed to be find, me being able to still hold the power button to vibrate the phone and switch it off eventually.

So i decided to boot my phone into recovery (clockworkmod) and i hadnt made a back up already so i made one just then. It failed (i have really bad luck or something ) but the boot animation backup worked so i restored it and rebooted my phone. It stayed black but the samsung stock sound played. Im stuck now.

Any help would be apreciated.

I have s3 mini clockwork mod.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside86:
So i've been searching for a while now as to why it is that on ANY roms other than source built roms, I cannot get Mobile data back after flashing. I have went and edited the APN settings to what they are supposed to be, but no matter what I do it just never works. I have tried the SprintFix.zip thinking maybe that would somehow work. (I have Viaero Wireless, and I'm not sure if they are Sprint or At&t)

It really sucks to have an awesome phone only to be limited on running source built roms.

If anyone could help me I would be eternally grateful.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deadrider1:
Ok so before the 4.4.4 OTA update my phone ran amazingly well, and even after updating hboot with the OTA Roms with a 4.4.3 base work fine and AOSP is not an issue. Now whenever i try to use a rom with 4.4.4 base sense/GPE roms, my battery life goes to complete crap. Until now i didnt really care, i just stayed on 4.4.3 roms and AOSP roms, but with the minor quirks with those roms im just looking for something more solid., and im starting to want to try out the EYE experience. I've tried multiple roms, even a new Lollipop rom based on the GPE rom by digital high and the battery life is still crap, i just cant get it to work right
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
RKDN ROM is amazing battery life.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbtags:
Give Santod's UnSense a shot. It's based off Sense 6 on 4.4.4 but is skinned to look like stock Android which is plus if you're a little tired of Sense. It still comes with all the Sense goodies (camera, gallery, etc.) and I've been able to get 4 hours SOT with horrible signal so if you have better signal, you could probably stretch it some more.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deadrider1:
I think the real problem is media server. Ive always downloaded a ton of music off of play music right after installing a new rom. Though for this rom i only have a few songs downloaded and my battery life if fine. I would think to just kill media server but then my music stops playing and it doesnt fix the problem, my battery life is still crap
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SkateSoft:
I have not experienced this. I am currently running DigitalHigh's L rom, but when I was on carbonrom(4.4.4) I was getting around 6 hours of on screen time on a bad day, and almost 8.5 hours on a really good day. Could it be an issue is your settings? I'm currently flashing a rom so I can't post a pic of my screen on time on carbonrom, but I will as soon as I'm done.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deadrider1:

Hey guys

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed cwm successfully

but when i tried to enter recovery mode all i saw was a black screen !

then i wanted to cancel the whole thing and factory reset the phone

so i turned on the phone and selected reset from "Backup and reset" in settings.

but when i did, the phone bricked and is dead now.

what should i have done?

sorry my english ***** so please help me with simple words
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitinzeon:
Try vol. up + power button for 60 seconds.

It might restart the phone.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arash94:
not sure buddy my phone is still dead :crying:

and when i plug the charger the notification light just flashes and nothing happens
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitinzeon:
This means that there might be hope still left.

Try accessing your phone via adb and let me know what do you see when you type in this command after connecting to your desire to PC:

adb devices

If the result is not OFFLINE or 'waiting for device' then recovery can be flashed using adb and then you can restore your phone using a cwm backup.

Hope that helps

Hi gays, im just curious what type of screen mode do you use?

I use amoled cinema, because it looks natural.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FancyMonkey:
I am guessing you probably meant "GUYS", am I right?

I like the AMOLED cinema, but the Adaptive Display isn't bad either, which is what I used for a couple weeks until I found the setting to change it. I couldn't stand the Basic. I thought it made everything look awful. There is no sense in having a nice screen and not using it.

I use AMOLED Cinema. Best option imo.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:

are you kidding me? basic is so yellowish i feel like my screen has hepatitis LOL!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnan2112:
Basic is the closest you're going to get to accurate colors. All of the other modes are over saturated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudynasco:
too bad you dont apply the usage of QHD!!! if i turn my mode to basic, i wouldnt waste my 750$ for this.

I can see a "close to real view or real color" experience on my nokia n95 phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnan2112:
What does color accuracy and saturation have to do with QHD? QHD is the resolution of the display. It has nothing to do with what colors it shows.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeymel96:
my htc one m7 suddenly powered off and i have not been able to power it on. i had someone check it out and they think it is the motherboard. it had been running a little warmer than usually, probably from overclocking. it is rooted a unlocked so i know my warranty is void but if the motherboard is fried can they tell that it has been tampered with. if so, and i know this is all a shot in the dark, is there anything i can do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Since the motherboard is fried, you should try to send it for repair under warranty. They can't check if your bootloader was unlocked if the phone wont boot. Even if you have requested an unlock code from htcdev.com, it doesn't prove that you have used it. SO your phone should be repaired/replaced under warranty, at least it worth a try.
