I am in desperate need for a Proclip holder for AT&T S4. It looks like the one for S3 will fit the S4 but i am not sure..
See here: http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-hol...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512398-18987.cmsv
Does anyone with a S3 pro-clip holder has any experience placing the S4 in it ? I have the S2 Pro-clip and an iPhone pro-clip on the other car and they are super quality devices.. Note I am looking after the one with the charger option.
Thanks.
+1 I, too, am a fan of the proclips. Has anyone got an answer to this? I don't think there's an S4 proclip available yet.
They emailed me this reply
Hi

We have just launched two active holders for the Galaxy S4, the item numbers are 512526 and 513526. We will also launch a holder that fits devices with skins but it is not yet ready.

I guess this will not work in combination with the samsung flip-cover?
They informed me that they are developing a holder that will suit the s4 with skins/cases . They didn't have a date as of yet
Im waiting fot that too

Absolutely agree about the brodit proclips system, absolutely perfect. My iphone one worked like a dream and really want to get one for my S4 buuuutttt, Im using arliberator and dont know if I can use any of the docks in conjunction with the mhl connector

It will work with the flip cover as long as you get the adjustable one, I was using with the cover closed, just don't put the right side in and you can still flip open but tight. And I also used it with the cover flipped behind, just had to adjust the holder to fit the leather flip on the left side and the phone on the right. I will post pictures after I go back to the case, using a slim armor for the time being, it fits good too.

I assume you meant the dock and not the dock holder?
Why do you keep buying all these docks?
I would recommend the Craigsdock dock. The one single dock will work with all Galaxy series phones, including Note II. So you just buy one dock and it fits them all. And you don't have to worry about whether you have an extended battery or cover. It still fits. And all in a slimmer/smaller package than the ProClip and with a better (IMO) charging solution.
I've had the ProClip dock. I like the Craigsdock dock better. And with the Craigsdock, you can change the type of USB connector easily. For non-carhome mode, for USB-OTG or for any other type of MicroUSB connector you may need. And it's an easy swapout.
Just a heads up.
Though the ProClip dock "holder/mounting base" is pretty nice.

I have the brodit active dock with usb connection. This model suits the phone with case .
Photo shows the s3 but works on s4 too.
Maybe you can use mhl via the usb I dont have mhl so I cant test.
Is the wire fixed in to the dock. My old iPhone one had a fixed jack in the dock and you plugged the iPhone into the cable into the fixed jack. I emailed Brodit about their g4 active dock because it comes with a molex connector block. I wanted to know what connections the block took but I don't think they understood me

I dont have the active holder with the molex connector. Mine has a male usb . The wire is fixed to the dock . See pic.
OK thanks so I wouldn't be able to use an mhl adapter with it like I need to on that model.

Unless you can plug in the mhl adapter to the male end of the usb lead and from there into the charger via some sort of adapter.

That's why I'm looking at the one with the molex connector. It was so easy with the iPhone. You just plugged the iPhone cable into the bottom of the holder. I was kinda hoping it would be the same with the s4 one.

I think the difference is that there is somewhat of a standard with Apple dock/lightning cables, but it's a zoo with micro-USB male adapters. There's no standard shape for them to machine to. I suppose they could match the OEM cable, but most people only have one of those.
Hello,
I have been a great fan of palm and palm pre series in the past.
As a result, I have about 5 touchstone chargers everywhere and used in modded Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S 3 in the past.
I'm thinking if modding Nexus 5 to have Touchstone compatibility would be possible as well like they have done in Nexus 4.
(webosnation[dont]com/nexus-4-gains-touchstone-charging-thanks-clever-hacking)
From the pictures in ifixit.com, there are total 4 connection coming out from the back cover.
(d3nevzfk7ii3be[dont]cloudfront[dot]net/igi/SJQTUlA5iTNuxHlb[dot]huge)
I just don't know which of the two is the charging sides and which of the two would be + and -.
(d3nevzfk7ii3be[dot]cloudfront[dot]net/igi/OmM5ZNymVr4ODENF[dot]huge)
Any ideas guys?
I'm not a very techy person and I don't have the necessary tools to determine what is what.
Any advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I don't get it. Nexus 5 already has Qi charging capability which is wireless like the touchstone...

Yes, Nexus 5 does have Qi compatibility, but it doesn't work with touchstone technology as they have different specification. (I've tried but it doesn't charge).
Also, Qi chargers are far more expensive then touchstone for some reason...
As I have already established wireless ecosystem with touchstone, I would like to keep using the touchstone rather than qi charger.
You can buy a qi charger on amazon for like $20. That's a lot easier than popping open the back and risking damage.

I do know that you can buy a qi charger on amazon for like $20 but touchstone chargers are about $10 on amazon now and I already have 5 of them around my work, home, car and my gf's place.
But, most of qi charger is flat, which I personally do not like.
The angle of the phone in a touchstone is quite useful for many reasons and I just prefer it to the flat surface of most qi standard charger.
I've already modded about 6 phones to use touchstone charger, so I know the risk and I assume those risk.
I just need help with which connection is for charging as there are four connections connected to the back cover of the Nexus 5 and I can't clearly pinpoint which two of the four is for charging and which one is plus and minus.

So, thank you for the Qi charger recommendations and I am aware of Qi technology, but I'm just curious about the +,- connection of the board.
thanks.

I'm considering the same thing, as I also have a bunch of touchstones that I used with a galaxy nexus that I modded to use the tech. Would like to do the same with the N5.
If you've modded six different phones for touchstone then you're probably the most qualified to figure out how to mod the N5 as well, you should do the mod and then write a guide on it .

I could do a mod previously as other people who understands the circuit board determined where to connect and such as I don't have the necessary tools to find out about it or the knowledge to fully understand the board.
I intent on doing a guide if I am successful.

Thank you!
You finally understands what I'm going through.
I find touchstone far superior to qi standard to be honest and have never been able to dismiss it.

That would be GREAT!!:good:
just discovered today that the N5 has magnetic points. thus the touchstone charger holds it perfectly at an angle.
now all i want to do is either stuff a Qi charger into the touchstone dock, or what the OP wants and stuff the Touchstone coil into the phone.
I FULLY understand that this is an old thread but I was just thinking this today. The TouchStone holds the Nexus 5 perfectly. And I mean PERFECTLY. See my attached photos. The magnets seem to line up just right and the angle of the phone is great for doing stuff on phone without picking it up. If I had the know how, I would attempt to put a QI coil into a TouchStone. But I dont. If someone ever figured it out and posted directions (which I kind of doubt), I'd attempt it. I owned a Palm Pre with the TouchStone and loved it. I have two TouchStones in a box of random stuff, doing nothing. It would be awesome to be able to use them again. I know there is the Nexus 4 charger. But I heard that doesnt stick very well. I am tempted to try one out though.
P.S. This is mainly a conversational post and not really a high hopes post.
I was just about to buy one Touchstone for my N5, then I ran into this...
Forgive me for never using a wireless charger before, my initial thought on why Touchstone would not work with N5 was that somehow it has a very limited output amp for the phone to be charged, and in that sense, I was suspecting whether its coil is too small or the wire being too thin.
I don't think those cheap ebay Qi charger has anything different but a bigger coil. And obviously there are folks modding those flat-bed Qi chargers into magnets-equipped. So... if the coil was the issue, then you are essentially using touchstone's shell and just replacing a coil in there...
BUT, all those was based on my assumption of "coil matters". so ... anyways, not worth the hassle for me, I'm out. and In for a cheap pad.
Good luck!
I too would like to be informed of when if ever this happens. :good:

I'm thinking of picking this one up. Some people complained that the charging pad is a bit picky about where the phone is placed or else it won't charge properly. Will it be compatible with cases? Comments?
No problem here

I have this but never had any problems with it. It is indeed small but it always charged my phone even if it was only half on top. Note I have the official S-Cover with Wireless Charging
Hope that helped.
I'm using it and am very happy with it. I have a tpu bumper since the charging back cover won't fit in most rigid cases.

Had anyone found a reputable source for a Qi reciever for the Edge yet?
I am not interested in the charging back (unless it is compatible with flip wallet).

they arent since the flip wallet and charge back replace the battery cover.
i would say that we wont hear anything until the end of the year.
I bought a note 4 receiver to see if it would work. Will report results when it gets by here.

I believe he said that's not what he wants.
He wants the foil pad you attach to your phone then he can put his flip battery cover on.
Vs replace that with a charge back.
I had a pad on my Note 3. I'm willing to bet they will have then the beginning of next year.
You can always get a universal qi receiver. I've seen them on Amazon that plug into the micro USB port and sit underneath the back cover or between the phone and a case.
Note 4 receiver doesn't work

I am looking at getting the Edge and was wondering if anyone has had any luck? I was wanting a TPU case and not a samsung backing which you can't put a case on?
I have the Samsung OEM Wireless Charging back on my Note 4 and the issue I am running into is finding a protective case that fits with the added thickness. I tried a QI charge tab just added inside the standard back, which was ok, but the charge receiver died pretty quickly.
Anyone have any experience finding a case that works with this configuration?
Thanks!
Peter
I'm in the same boat as you Peter. I have an Otterbox and another at home that don't fit. I've also talked to Otterbox and they said they have no plans to make one that would fit with the charging cover.
Hopefully, someone can find one soon that fits properly. I hate having my phone naked!
