Galaxy S4 with Palm Touchstone (Wireless charging)

I'm modding the S4 to work with the Palm touchstone wireless charging dock and found out that even without modding the phone the touchstone has pretty strong magnets that hold the phone all by itself. When I get some copper tape I'll finish the mod and show my results.
If you have the touchstone you can use it as a magnetic dock like I am currently. It's pretty cool, also it holds the phone pretty strongly, In fact I can use the phone while it's on the dock. Even when charging (usb cable connected) it still holds the phone nicely...

I'd like to see your mods to the coil. I was playing with a spare coil and trying to figure out how to position near the bottom and make the electrical connections.
Thanks.

<<-----runs to amazon and orders the touchstone

Do all the Palm touchstones use qi technology or is that what you're modding. I have already ordered the module from wiqiqi for the S 4 for $25 bucks but didn't like the big flat plate they sold. This would be a great alternative for work.

No, the palm is not QI. You will not be able to mix and match coils and chargers.. The Palm coil and Touchstone only with work together.

i´ve done it last year with the S3 and Note 2. Now i did it with the S4 and it works like a charm
Here are my Pictures.

great work! Which of the terminals is positive and negative, and also, which ports do you connect

i used .the left connector´s. It was more luck that it works because i don´t know why there are on the right side another connectors .
I couldn´t say which one is the positive and which is nagative because i didn´t test it. I´ve connect it like on my pictures and it work´s.
I´ve used the left connector´s because they are the same then on S3 and Note 2. I think the right connector´s are for NFC because the original Samsung Cover is "extreme" fat
With my solution there is a little camber in the Battery Case and nothing else. That means that you can use any nice thin Protection Cover for the S4 and it charges through the Cover.

That looks really nice.

Did you do any soldering?

Very cool. How effective is charging with this? How long does it take? Thanks.

Sorry to PING again but it's been over a week...
Could one of you guys who did this DIY hack please just tell the rest of us the polarity of the contacts?
Really appreciated! Thanks!

The left one is positive and the one closest to the camera lens is negative.

[Q] Looking for best way to QI charge my S4

Basically, I'm looking for a way to enable my S4 to charge wirelessly and try some chargers.
I've seen some receivers online and heard that there is a backdoor for S4 that is QI enabled. What's the best way to proceed?

I got it from here
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...or-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-IV-i9500/1391784721.html
But I thought a Amazon seller was safer bet
Its thin and NFC works, Charges at 640ma

I highly recommend this one. It fits under the stock Samsung battery cover even with my zero lemon 3000 mah ext battery. I would go with this one (link at bottom of post) with the versa 2 charging pad over the their curve charging pad. They claim the curve 2 handle cases at thick as 5mm and the curve at 3mm. They also offer a versa 1st gen for $5 less. For a a few extra I'd go with the newer generation. I've been using mine for prob close to six months now since they released it and it performs great. There is one down fall though. My nfc doesn't work. Might just be my luck, I dunno for sure. Maybe someone else can chime in if they have this one. I don't have a need for nfc currently. I love wireless charging.
I've tried many cases with my wireless charging kit and they all work through the case. Spigen neo, bodyglove, leather flip case and one with a thick clear plastic back. Currently using a balllistic sg maxx for a few months now with no issues. This is the thickest case I've tried and I didn't think it would even work.
It really is a life save. Sometime after I got my wireless charging kit my usb port died. Not sure when though. Went to charge my phone one day in a friends car and nothing. Got home and tried again, nothing. Tried my wireless pad, starts charging right away. Even tried hooking my phone to my pc, wouldn't recognize my phone as ext usb storage or charger. Finally bought a new usb board ebay for $11. They are really easy to change. Went prob 4 months with no usb port, just wireless. Googled the issue and lots of people have the same problem.

The receiver link that chrisdfw posted seems interesting. Working nfc and and up to 7000 mah charging current. Seems to good to be true. If so it should be able to charge your phone pretty fast if you have a good wireless charging pad that can output enough. My phone takes prob 4-5 hrs with my mosnter watts kit and no nfc. I think the s4 can only handle like 640 mah for wireless charging if I'm not mistaken.

and this:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=I2SgasOKRDt (heck a discount when you order 3)
They charge at 640mha which is slightly disappointing. the insert is "capable" of 1Ah and the pad is "capable" of 750mha and never got other units to test with. all in all I didn't drop a lot of money and it works even with thicker cases too. It doesn't interfere with the built in NFC in the battery. I'm fairly happy with the buy. If you want a pics of what it looks like installed here's the thread:

Thats the same one I got with the NFC. I got mine from eBay but I dont have a charger yet, Im waiting for it from Japan.

AFAIK, all QI setups for the S4 charge @ 640mA. I have a 1A Nexus Orb with a generic 1A QI sticker and a genuine Sammy QI battery cover. They both charge at 640mah sadly.

A good Qi receiver and charging station.

The only tricky part is making the cards contacts stay in the phones. Solved easily with a piece of scotch tape. Works great and I have extended batteries with protective case, not even a problem. Try it out.

That's a good question. I have a zl 3000mah and I'd say it takes 4-5 hrs completely drained. Would be interesting. The problem is getting a wireless receiver to make contacts with the charging studs. I have some copper foil tape I'm thinking would work. Just need a 7500 zl to test it with. It'd be great with their rugged case if I could make it work. I'm pretty sure it would though

I found this thing on Ubergizmo

It's a powerbank and charger...reminds me of that thing from Lugulake, just smaller capacity, but it's from Mugen, so should be good.
and this QI receiver from mugen
Available to buy here here

I had one of those charging pads that fit under the stock back cover and it was OK. It worked, but the problem was always you need to put the phone PERFECTLY on the charger or it would stop charging after a few seconds. It just got annoying.
What I would recommend is getting the Samsung Oem charging cover. I have seen a few on Ebay and they are less than $20. I bought one and I couldn't be happier. The charging just works as good as my Nexus. I have no complaints.
Here is a sample add that I found
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251364515988
I honestly wouldn't waste my time with anymore wireless receiver pads that create a buldge and get your phone hot. Plus they are finicky on getting the contacts to touch.

Depressing we won't have an AT&T version of the Official LG G3 cases

it's really depressing to know that these beautiful amazing official LG G3 cases that the general accessories thread talks about, will never come to AT&T since the international variant comes with the wireless QI charging back.... makes me so sad my AT&T friends...

The charging coil is just a sticker. Put it on any case you want

While that is ok I would rather have the slim guard case that I would actually use instead of cannibalizing it for the PWA.

At the moment, cannibalizing the circle case for its PMA reciever is the only way to get wireless charging onto the stock back. Then you can use whatever case you'd like and have wireless charging.

I have one on order already, but I suspect it is Qi compatible and not powermat compatible. I guess I will find out soon enough. The good news is that my wife has a Verizon G3, so either way I will be able to use it.

Please report back your findings. I purchased the official LG circle back from att yesterday and it does NOT have contacts for wireless charging. I didn't realize till late last night since I was out and about all day. I read someone on xda purchased the LG case from a Verizon store and that one didn't have the contacts either. When you look online at the att website it says that the powermat charging quick folio is only available online. The online case is grey. However the ones being sold in the att store are white. Although wireless charging isn't a deal breaker for me in terms of the overall experience of the phone, the powermat issue still is a little annoying. Here's a picture of the case. It's also hard to put on and take off. It feel a like I'll snap off one of the corners in the process.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Yeah, that is the snap on case. I don't think those were designed to have wireless charging (in any flavor, country or carrier). Those don't replace the backcover, but simply snap over the back cover. It's the type of cases that replace the back cover that may come with wireless charging.

Wait.. Wireless charging, stock back cover AND fit any case on your Note 4? Enter her

Did the same on my note 3 and it worked flawlessly for 13 months..
Tested through my Ringke Fusion case and Spigen capsule case.. Both work perfect.

I tried that.. Trust me I've tried everything every which way.
Nothing held it in place perfectly like this did. Literally half a mm shift and it doesn't make contact. It has to be exactly precise.
This way it's really locked into place and ive used it on 3 different chargers and it's been perfect

Bought the same setup as you and i am experiencing an issue with thr charger...if i set the phone on the charger in landscape in the vertical slanted position it will charge for a while but then stop and i can hear a clicking that comes from the charger. Sometimes the charger will even cycle from charging to not and the blue light on bottom starts blinking.
Have you had any issues?

I did this on my S4 with a hot glue gun by placing the receiver on the phone itself, put a few small dabs of hot glue on the wireless receiver then put on the back cover. Now when you remove your back cover the receiver will be attached in the perfect location.

That's an excellent idea and I thought of doing that but didn't have a hot glue gun. That would definitely be very accurate

Does it deform the oem back cover? I have the cheapo ebay receiver and the phone won't sit flat.

I guess it won't be able to support fast charging, but it's still really neat to just lay your phone on your desk and have it charging

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up.

Mine arrived yesterday. Fits without issue. Almost no battery door bulge to speak of. Also, it adheres to the phone's body, not the battery, which means you can still swap. Bonus!

If you mean the Exynos version then yes, my 915S from Korea looks to have the same contact points.
The only thing I have a question about is that if you only need those 2 contacts for wireless charging what does the other 4 contacts on the official qi backing support?

Fast charging maybe?
Anyone have any verification on this affecting NFC? Full Charge time?

Is fastcharge supported through Qi if I have a samsung Qi charger?
I only have a Ravpower powerbank/qi charger combo which I doubt would support it if it did exist for Qi.
Asking so that my test can be more accurate. I guess I'll test to see if the charge time is the same without fastcharge.

I got mine yesterday.
The only problem i have experienced is the 2 buttons not making good contact with the phone. It seems that the case cover wont press down on them hard enough.
All i did was got a bit of electrical tape and made a small square, so that when the case cover is put back on it puts more pressure on the contacts.
Aside from that it works great.
I have a incipo case and it charges with it on the Note Edge.
Have not tested the NFC but i dont see that being an issue if the phone is charging.

Does it work with the wallet cover?

I got mine yesterday.
The only problem i have experienced is the 2 buttons not making good contact with the phone. It seems that the case cover wont press down on them hard enough.
All i did was got a bit of electrical tape and made a small square, so that when the case cover is put back on it puts more pressure on the contacts.

Is the weak contact when you have it in the case or off the case. I feel like if it's inside the case it would make the back press down a bit more?

It seems that the qi piece isnt making contact. Like the gold contacts are not big/thick enough to make contact. So If i just put the qi receiver with no tape and the battery cover, it wont charge. When i add the little bit of tape it, and put the battery cover on its enough to push the qi receiver contacts down to make better contact.

3-4 days.
Its no big deal to me. Its not like you see it. and it doesnt make the case bulge any. And it works.

No contact issues here. None at all.
