I found this one on amazon and I'm tempted by the price, has anyone bought this? Would it work with our phones? Or the touchstone?

This has been discussed.
Do not order a touchstone charger, it won't work.
The LG one does. Mines on its way.

The lg one is pretty cheap compared to other ones . was a bit skeptical. Can you confirm if it works when you get it? Either Here or through pm please a video would be nice.

There are numerous posts on XDA with people using them.

I would, however there's a thread that discusses the beeping from this unit.

I think these chargers can be UP TO 70% efficient.

I understand the Nexus 4 uses this chip, and the datasheet is here.
So, the receiver is about 90% efficient when charging. I am not sure, but as this is a charge controller too I think that quoted efficiency from page 12 is for the DC provided to the battery. This is quite good as obviously a non-wireless charge controller phone would have some losses when charging a battery.
I presume that by AC they mean from the wireless antenna rather than mains, so you would have to include the waste in the plug/transmitter too.
Edit: It looks like most of the losses are in the transmission, as the efficiency there is much lower. In that datasheet it suggests more like 72-74% maximum, which is about right if the manufacturers quote 70%.

Check this one out guys. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.

They sell it on amazon.de but don't seem to ship to Denmark
Found it on ebay for £37 here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-D...degeräte_Dockingstationen&hash=item27cce3049d
Just bought it from the above seller. Will post about it when I receive it and let everyone know what it is like

Hey, I have received an Energizer mat and can confirm that it does indeed work with no hiccups. Only problem is that the glass back makes the phone very slippery on the matte-like finish on the Mat. Until I figure out a way to make it stay it's pretty much a nuisance and not usable.

Just find an invisible shield on clearance (designed for some old junker phone) and stick it on the surface of the charger.
No slip.

Did you pull off the clear film on the charging mat? That made mine sticky and it holds perfect.

I bought the Panasonic tm101 in white so it was easier to see the phone in the dark and I don't have to position it.

The LG one works, but you'll have to open it up and destroy the speaker.

I picked up the Energizer Qi mat also and can confirm it works great. What I did to keep the phone from sliding is went and purchased one of those cheap grippy dashboard mats for cars and stuck it into the charger. No more slippy slippy.

Infuse batteries

I bought (3) 1800mAh Batteries + Home Charger For Samsung Infuse 4G on Ebay for $13.99, free shipping. They're off brand, from China, took 2 weeks, but well worth it! Will come in handy while watching football and following three fantasy league scores!

True. I picked up 2 cheapos full well knowing that they're probably much less than "1800". But I also have an extra OEM battery that came with the charging dock. 4 batteries is more than enough even when I'm hanging around airports.
I don't mind the few seconds it takes me to swap out a battery.

I haven't had a chance to do controlled discharge tests, but using a controlled charge test - it took less than 1915 mAh from 25% to full, so it's 2500 at best. Probably 2300-2400 or less.

Using a stylus with the Epic?

Hi all,
After playing with a Galaxy Note, I've gotten reminiscent about using a stylus from the Touch Pro 2 days. My question is: Has anyone used a stylus for the Epic? Are there any out there anyone can recommend? I realize it's not going to have the same interactive experience as the Note, I just want something to play around with. Thanks!

should work i've used other things some things wont work not exactly which one but. lol my car charger top pin makes my screen move if i use that haha
It would have to produce some kind of static from the tip. Either on it's own or derived from your skin and transmitted through the stylus to the tip. Our screen is capacitive and reacts from the electrical charge of our skin. The galaxy note was specifically designed for a stylus through the screen hardware and the type of stylus used. I'm not 100% that there are styluses that will work with our phones but I would assume so as the concept doesn't seem too difficult. I've never looked into it before. I'll do a Google search and see what comes out of it.

If you have the aluminum stylus with the black tip it works with the electrostatic screens.
Just found out Radio Shack sells one that works with any capacitive touchscreen device and is $15. A little pricey but I confirmed today that it works and it's a very nice quality stylus. Very soft rubber tip, strong aluminum casing, very light.

I sometimes use the back end of a 1960's papermate profile. It has a nice springy feel to it. Plus I like to use antique pens.
So I bought this one off amazon..
GTMax Touch Screen Stylus Pen (Black + Red + Silver) for Samsung Galaxy S2 / Epic 4G CDMA Cellphone
Been using this so far for about a week and its been great. No qualms with this at all and it was only $2.40 total, including shipping. Granted, the price has gone up about $.50 since I purchased (now its $2.40, when I purchased it was $1.90+$0.50 shipping).

Nokia wireless charging works.

Just got the n4 today. My Nokia wireless charger works fine.
You can buy it at Att or Verizon or Tmobile I'm guessing.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger
amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.
I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."

Nexus 4 fits in the $5 infuse car dock!

I ordered the Infuse 4g dock from ATT for $5 shipped because it was supposedly a perfect fit for the Samsung Galaxy S3. However I sold my S3 for the Nexus.
To my pleasant surprise, the dock fits perfectly with the N4, maybe even a little snug when trying to take it back out.

Haha... this will be my 3rd phone that I've used that dock for. Wonder if my $0.01 Infuse Desktop Dock will work as well.
Best investment ever.
Edit: Does sound out through USB work?

this desktop dock is different from what is being talked about in the thread right?
because one of the reviews of the dock mentions how the S3 does not fit snug in the dock, can any one verify?

I have no idea if the other one would work, but my guess is no

Didn't know there wasn't one. This will be my first stock phone (whenever Google gets around to shipping....).
Is it charging? The Nexus 4 also fits the SGS2 car dock...like a glove. BUT its not charging it unfortunately. Strange.

Does the infuse car dock charge the N4?
Looking at those pictures, do the mount points scratch the phone at all? Are the corners of the dock rubbery? Looks like a good option till some magnetic/wireless charging mounts come out (if ever!).
Where did u get that for 5$

This dock does work as well, I had this for my Infuse. It isn't a tight fit, but the gap on each side of the phone is probably the thickness of a sheet of paper.

Does it? Dam I just gave my dock away to :/
It's hard to believe it fits since all the dimensions are bigger on the nexus, maybe its because of the corners being more rounded on the nexus.
it was available for awhile from the att store before sd blew it up

I ordered one and it was initially backordered and eventually canceled. Was hoping it would work with the N4, now it does, and I don't get one. :crying:
where for $5
I don't see it for $5? The links that are shared on here for $13 is for the desktop dock and not the car one. Car dock looks like it is $26-27 on amazon?
