Does anyone use a wireless charging pad that has an NFC tag built in? If so, which one? I need a flat one to put in my car. I got a couple of cheap 3 quid ones which do work perfectly fine, so I thought I'd shove an NFC tag on top of it, but it seems to fry the NFC tag :laugh:
EDIT: Or, if anyone has used an NFC tag on their existing wireless charging pad, could you tell me what tag you used?
EDIT: I've spotted the AirDock, but it's very expensive.
make it by yourself

I just bought this phone and I wonder has anyone tried any internal qi charging receiver tag for it?
I'm sure they should work just fine, however, there isn't any tag built to the dimension of the Infuse, I just need to make sure the gold contacts location matches and it fit correctly in the phone.
It look like the receiver for the S4 i9500 may work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note2-Note-/231124647518
theres no wireless charging pins on the infuse. you can not use it with wireless charging unless you rig something to go to the microusb port.

The i997 doesn't have wireless charging ports built in like the S3, S4, GN2 or GN3.
Seems like one would need to create a terminal for the receiver.
These two videos show similar wireless charging hack for the i9000. The i997 is similar to the i9000. It looks like the idea is to get a wire from the + pin on the USB port to the back of the battery to connect the copper coil receiver complex.
For the qi, I think you can use any of the receiver available, minding the +/- connectors.
I have not tried it but it does look interesting. The other question I have is whether or not simply connect the +/- on the wireless receiver to the battery's +/- connector will work. It would be simpler to use some copper tape and connect it directly to the battery terminals. If it does work, obviously you can save a lot of hassle bypassing soldering the wire part.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used Nexus 5 from Glyde. Glyde requires purchasers to test the phone and let them know if it is in the condition the seller had advertised within 3 days. I had ordered an NFC tag that didn't arrive in time to test NFC before verifying that the phone was in excellent condition, which is how it was advertised. Everything else on the phone works flawlessly but, once the NFC tag arrived, I found that NFC doesn't work. I haven't tried wireless charging but am assuming that probably doesn't work either as the NFC and wireless charging are controlled by the same module on the motherboard. The model number of the controller is BCM20793M.
I tried a bit of troubleshooting. I took the phone apart, removed the NFC controller and had a look at the connection. All of the pins on the ribbon cable seem to be making contact with the pins in the socket on the mobo but still no NFC. I've done a factory reset and sideloaded Lollipop the day it was released. Unfortunately, NFC still doesn't work. I'm almost certain that it's just a defective controller. I called LG. Tech support had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for a replacement Broadcom NFC controller and referred me to the parts department. The parts department doesn't sell anything but batteries and chargers. They asked me to send my phone to them for 5-7 days. I'd like to avoid that. So, I set out on a search for one of these modules and can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find one of these for sale?
My wife also got a Nexus 5 and the NFC works. If it comes to it, I'll just swap the NFC controllers in mine and my wife's phone as she's told me she doesn't need NFC. If I can just buy a new controller and have two phones with working NFC, I'd rather go that route.
Thanks,
Matt
Hello everyone. I've been considering a purchase of the Nexus 9 and was disappointed to to read that it lacks Qi wireless charging built-in. I've found Qi to be a very useful feature for many of my Nexus devices, from my old Nexus 4 and 7 to the modern N6, so it seems odd for it to be omitted for the N9. Thus,, if I end up buying a N9, I'll be interested in adding Qi charging capability.
Qi charging receivers seem to come in two forms: those that use the external micro-USB connector on your device and those that don't. Those using the microUSB connector have the obvious drawback of "taking up" said connector as well as possible issues with the detection of wireless charging , so I'd ideally like to use one of the models that doesn't use the micro-USB plug. These models (such as some of those made for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5) are completely internal and interface with the battery via other connection points, typically residing under the back cover of the device. An example can be seen here - http://www.fonesalesman.com/collections/qi-wireless-receivers/products/s5-slimpwrcard . I am guessing the viability/ease of install for such a receiver is dependent on the device model, so I was wondering if anyone had performed a similar modification on their Nexus 9?
Any ideas? Thanks!
So the Samsung phones were designed this way so they could sell you a separate case to add wireless charging. So it was designed to add it easily... I've seen something like this added to a non Samsung phone but it required some soldering and I'm sure lots of skill. I agree with you that qi charging seriously should have been in the tablet. At the very least some form of quick charging. My least favorite part of the tablet.
As visible https://youtu.be/N3dhyA3femQ?t=1m20s here , the car dock allows for charging and audio at the same time. Now, is there a single cable to do the same or is this only possible with a mod?
maybe this will work when they release it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gromaudio/smart-android-usb-car-converter-cable-for-music-on
I think your only option at the moment for such use case is either to get the incipio mod or that one on indiegogo with wireless charging and put it on a wireless charging stand. Either way I don't think it's worth the hassle.
You'll be way better with a Bluetooth headset or If you have some high end wired headset, there are dedicated Bluetooth receivers with 3.5 mm jack ...
Third option would be to just get the car dock and cut the mounting part
I think you are looking for something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Z-Type-C-to-3-5-mm-and-charger-2-in1-Headphone-Jack-USB-C-Adapter/282489851364 don't you?
I was searching for something like that myself since I got this phone. I could only find it with lightning port but stumbled upon this e-bay listing just now.
I'm not exactly keen to buy something from an e-bay seller from China/Hong Kong/Taiwan with an estimated arrival date of a whole month.

I also found this product on amazon if you want to compare: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Supports-Charging-Reversible-Connector/dp/B072JC1VLD
Found this one even cheaper:

Don't bother buying this one. It says it's "Charging" but it doesn't actually charge.

Have someone tried the Amazon ones ?
Have anyone found a working cable?
I am also looking for one, but I would like it to have mic also work (4 connector 3.5mm plug) + turbopower charge / sync with PC.
2 years and no good solution out yet? Incredible... Why take the 3.5mm plug out to begin with? SMH!
I need a 4-in-1 solution: Listen+Talk+Charge+Sync.
Bumping the thread as I've bought this adapter: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...Type-C-to-3-5-Earphone-audio/32840199350.html
Pros:
* It works
* It's very cheap
Cons:
* No data sync - my guess is that USB C uses D+/D- for audio signal,
* No microphone - idk if it's simply something that this particular adapter skips or what. Not a dealbraker for me anyway.
It's also an alternative for the original usb-c - jack adapter in case that one breaks.

I saw that a huge amount of splitters worked "well" but when it charges and has the headphones connected some noises start to sound... The same applies for this one or it works perfectly?
I've just tested it using the fastest charger I've found with regular USB output, LG's model MCS-04ER (got it with my G2, it's 1.8A, not recognized as TurboCharge but charging).
No noise at all.
But from my experience - it all depends on the charger, not on the splitter. When I've tried listening to music on said G2 while charging it with a cheapo car charger the noise was unbearable.
My guess is that cheap chargers cause noises on the ground line, which is the same ground as the one in the audio jack. Also running charging cable alongside audio one can cause additional noise through induction.
PS. Another minor con of this splitter: the charging lead ends with a big USB-A plug instead of a type-C (or even regular micro-USB) socket.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the dumb question, but I was wondering if it is possible to add a wireless charging receiver inside a OnePlus 6. There are some receivers on Amazon for Galaxy S3, S4 and S5, and I thought that it would have been cool to have one, just to play with the hardware.
I'm not talking about the receivers which have the cable with the Type C USB port, but the receivers that connect directly to the battery. Something we can build ourselves.
Could it be possible? What do you think?
I'd nearly say hold on for the 6t and save yourself the hassle. ?

Unluckly I have already bought the 6, and this is my first OP phone and i think it is just awesome.
Anyway I only wanted to do something cool and play with the hardware of my phone.
Yes, I use one. Works just fine. The only annoying part is having to unplug it when I need to connect to my PC. I wish they made one that plugs into the usb-c port but still allowed a USB-c to plug into the receiver. It would probably make the receiver plug too big.
Here is the one I use:

If you're talking about some kind of hardware hack, I can't imagine that there's room inside the case given how thin this phone is. Years ago, I tried doing something like that with my HTC One XL, which had a flexible plastic case and more room inside. I still couldn't make it work.
Wireless charging is awesome but i only like it because my phone has a micro usb.... now that i have ordered a oneplus with usb c i dont think i will miss it because wireless charging is slower and heats up the phone more.
You have two options, buy external wireless charging receiver that plugs into USB or do a hardware hack and put wireless receiver inside the phone. It's certainly possible as back cover is glass, but it's not trivial.
