[Q] How to disable wireless charging and battery full notifications on Lollipop topic

Has anyone found a way to disable the annoying wireless battery notification or the battery full notification? It is really annoying if you are in a car using a wireless charger and run an app that keeps the screen turned on. For example, if the screen is on when you place the phone on the charger, the charging notification will appear and never go away. The same thing happens when you are driving along and the battery reaches 100%. The notification is stuck on the screen until you turn off the screen and then turn it back on. Is there a better way to avoid this?

Signal drop and only Edge speeds with Cricket Wireless topic

I have Cricket Wireless and I can only seem to get Edge speeds on my m7vzw.
What's weird is I have previously put a different Cricket SIM in the phone before the device was switched from Verizon to Cricket and I got H+.

The band frequency charts would suggest that I should get at least H+.

I'm using the ROM below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2531235

I tried the Google Edition radio, just left me with no signal.

After that didn't get me anywhere I flashed m7vzw_5.28.605.2_1.13.41.0702_Radio, which gave me back the weak Edge signal again.

LTE/H+ was working fine before I ported from Verizon.

I don't know what Firmware the device is on, or how to check.

Any thoughts?

Review of CHOETECH QI Pocket Wireless Car Charger topic

This is a nifty and unique car charger that can easily juice up your Qi-enabled device when on-the-go.

In the box, you get the charging holder itself, a car charger, a micro USB cable, and an instruction manual.

First Impressions: I don't think I've ever reviewed a product like this. I have reviewed Qi-charger, but not a Qi-charger like this. It is very unique. It has this leather-type of build that feels nice. It feels a little bit like those kinds of phone holsters [REVISE]. Setting it up was easy. I simply snapped it into my air vent, plugged the car charger up to the charger, and I was up and running.

After using it for a while, I can say that this is a cool product. It definitely has a great style and works great. I can easily and efficiently charge up my phone and easily slide it out of the holder when I need it. The only time it wasn’t easy to slide my phone out of the holder was when I had on my bulky, protective case.

Overall, this is a cool product that I would recommend to anyone in the market for a wireless charger for their car.

I was provided a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.

Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to this product on Amazon because posting commercial links is forbidden, but you can find it on Amazon by searching for the product's name that is in the title of this thread. Thanks!

T-Mobile Note 3 to Verizon Wireless topic

is there a way to flash or just unlock a T-Mobile Note 3 and run it on Verizon Wireles?

[Help] Can't flash system images to xt1031 Republic Wireless topic

So, last week I received the update to 4.4.4 on my Republic Wireless xt1031 (locked bootloader), then quickly realized that I preferred 4.4.2. After this, I downloaded the official republic wireless 4.4.2 firmware and attempted to flash it with fastboot, which didnt do anything but wipe my data. I then retried with mfastboot, which softbricked my phone. Whenever I try to flash any of the many stock firmwares I have found (tried Republic Wireless, Boost and a couple other firmwares, including a couple 4.4.4 firmwares), it seems that everything has been able to flash over and is working other than the system image files (system.img_sparsechunk1, system.img_sparsechunk2, system.img_sparsechunk3 for the stock republic wireless firmwares). Whenever I try to flash any of the 3 over, I get an error on the phone:

hab check failed for system
Invalid PIV signed system image

and in my command prompt:

...\falcon_repw_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-2.27_33_release-key
s-cid6.xml>mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1

OKAY [ 8.056s]
writing 'system'...
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 8.464s

I've heard this can be an issue with a locked bootloader, but I've also read that people can flash stock roms with a locked bootloader as long as the firmware is specifically for your phone. Does anyone have any advice on this issue? I'm just about at my wit's end here. I have tried at least 6 different firmware, I've intentionally hardbricked it by destroying the bootloader, then reflashed it with blankflash and Motoflasher on two separate tries and still no luck. Currently, it goes through the boot process but just boots to a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I only tried this on ResurrectionRemix, but all of the LP builds use the same base, so it should work on all. No flashing needed, just add a couple of lines to your build prop. I use a app called " build prop editor ". Once you've added the lines just reboot and your tethering.

[Q] Mod to disable Wireless Charging Notifications in Lollipop? topic

So I've been looking around for this for a while. It seems like there are a couple potential solutions to stop the wireless charging notifications (i.e. starting and stopping), but they only work for xposed or for kitkat.

Here's the mod thread for kitkat, but these lines are not in the PowerUI file for lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2799050

Here's a thread for kitkat on xposed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpos...posed-t2587431

I can't find anything in Lollipop, anyone else having this problem and found a good solution? Thanks!

Wireless charging is too sensitive. topic

I'm not new to the insert and qi charging station, I've had it on my s4 for almost a year.

I've been using the same Nokia dt900 charger for the s4 and now my note4.

I know there is a little issue getting the phone to charge, seems it's picky on position but I was normally able to find it on 1-3 tries(under 1 minute). But with the note it's been more like 10-15 tries (2-3minutes). And sometimes it would stop charging overnight.

Anyone have this issue? I'm trying to figure out maybe I have a bad insert or maybe the Nokia charger has too small of a coil, I would to try a charger with a larger coil (not larger overall surface). you can see the coil imprint of the insert, I can asume the circle in the center of the charger is about the same size. I've been lining them up this way but it's so annoying. I'm just ready to call it quits.

LG G2 F320L QI / Wireless charging mod topic

First let me apologize about the quality of the photos. I did the mod at around 3am in the morning and the lighting was lousy. Anyway, after months of searching for a good but relatively cheap QI solution for the G2 F320L, I decided to go ahead and mod it instead. It works great so far so I'm posting basic instructions and some pics so others can do the same and also learn from my mistakes in the process. Basically what I did was connect the middle 2 pins of the extra 4 pins to a QI receiver coil. I don't know the actual polarity since I basically just did some trial and error with connecting the contacts on an internal QI receiver coil with 2 of the extra 4 pins. Oh and yes, I did a sucky job. Fortunately, none of it is visible once everything is in place.

Here's what you need:
1. 3rd party internal QI receiver coil - I used one that was designed for the Samsung Galaxy S3. You may be able to get more flexibility in positioning the receiver by getting one with a relatively long ribbon cable leading to the contacts instead. Also if the contacts area are as thin as the ribbon cable, you may get a neater result.
2. A working QI charger that has charging indicator LEDs - duh. But seriously, there's a number of things you may want to test before you start doing the mod and you want the indicator LEDs to tell you whether you're charging or not.
3. An extra back cover - I actually used the original back cover that came with the phone as it had physical damage already, but I recommend you get a cheaper third party back cover instead, just in case.
4. A two layer case with a soft inner layer and a not-so-thick, non-transparent outer layer - I used a Spigen Slim Armor case and it works marvelously. I have a Ballistic Shell case somewhere but since I can't find it at the moment, I can't check if it will work, but I do expect it will work too. Also, your QI charger will also determine whether or not the case of your choice works. Particularly, the charger's plastic cover on the charging surface combined with your chosen case's outer layer should be thin enough to still let you charge wirelessly. If the distance between the actual charger coil and receiver coil is too far, you won't be able to charge properly.
5. A small, sharp knife that can cut through the extra back cover and your chosen case's inner soft layer cleanly - I used one, but I just suck at cutting stuff.
6. A roll of thin double sided tape, and preferrably, also a roll of thick double sided tape - My receiver coil already had a thin strip of double sided tape so I ended up not needing anymore, but you might, even if your receiver coil has a strip of double sided tape too.

Ok, first thing you do is test, test, test. As far as I know, the extra 4 pins also exist on other F320 variants and that the QI pins are also there. Since I only have an F320L, I can't be sure for certain. Also, it's very unlikely, but it's possible that there are different F320L revisions with actual changes in wiring those 4 extra pins. So test everything before you start the modding. Do test your case's outer layer by putting it on the charging surface and putting the coil on the case. Chargers can only detect if your a receiver coil is present but they can't detect if your coil is actually connected to something. Don't keep the coil on the charging surface for more than a few seconds when it isn't connected though. Once the charger detects the receiver coil, it will start sending charge to the receiver and if the receiver can't send the charge elsewhere, it will just accumulate on the receiver's electronics which will cause it to overheat and eventually burn out. Once you're confident that everything works, then you can start the mutila- err cutting.

First thing you want to do is to cut a hole on the extra back cover such that you can make the receivers contacts connect with the QI pins on the phone without having to put the rest of the receiver inside the back cover. The receiver will be taped to the outside the back cover. If your receiver has a thin ribbon cable and with exposed copper surfaces an the end to serve as contacts, you can cut a small slit into the case that will let you insert the ribbon cable through. If you have the ribbon cable but with thick contacts, you'll need a bigger hole. If, like me, you only have a stub sticking out from the side of the receiver coil containing thick contacts, you will need a hole that exposes the QI pins on the phone. Before you start making the hole, make sure you plan on the actual position you will tape the receiver in so you can make as small a hole as possible. As you'll see on the photos, I didn't exactly plan it right. :p






Once you're done with the back cover and installed it along with the receiver coil onto your phone, get your QI charger again and test your handiwork. Make sure the phone actually detects that you're charging. I was being a retard and proceeded along without testing at this point. :silly: Don't make the same mistake. Also, take note that I put a rubber tape shim on top of the receiver's contacts. This is because I have to push it down for the contacts to connect with the QI pins. It might not be necessary in your case, or it might. Do whatever you need to to make sure that the connection is secure. You don't want your receiver coil to burn out because the connection went lose while you were charging your phone at night when you're asleep.

Now, it looks rather ugly doesn't it? Well, that's where the two layer case comes in. If you just put the case on your phone right now though, you'll probably have a bulge on it where the receiver is. For the Spigen Slim Armor, you won't even be able to fit the outer layer properly. So go ahead and cut a hole on the inner layer to make room for your receiver. You should already be sure of your QI coil's positioning at this point so you can should cut a hole in the inner layer as precisely as you can. Here's a photo of my lousy worksmanship:



If you want to know how it looks like with the case's inner layer installed with the outer layer, use your imagination. What? Do you expect me to do everything for you? (Actually, I'm sorry. I forgot to take a photo. This is what happens if you do things at 3am in the morning. :p)

When you're done cutting a hole on your case's inner layer, go ahead and put the case on and test it out again. If that works, then you're now a proud owner of an LG G2 F320* with QI charging. If it doesn't work, it's very likely that your case's outer layer is just too thick and you didn't test it beforehand, good job. :good: Well, that, or your case's inner layer is so thick, in which case you can remedy the problem by putting additional layers of double sided tape underneath the receiver coil to bring it closer to the charger's coil. Ideally, the receiver coil's surface should be flush with your case's inner layer when installed. See end results below:


(yeah, this is an old battered case, but the nice thing about this particular one is that I can buy a new one and use the outer layer with my modded inner layer)

NOTE: Your ROM might not be able to detect wireless charging, in which case, it will say you're charging via USB instead. In fact, unless you're using a ROM based on the G3's ROM, your ROM will probably not be able to differentiate between USB and wireless charging.

[Review+Tips]Samsung S-View Wireless Charging Kit for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 topic

It's quite new & I can't find this bundle over the internet except on one unofficial site at the time I write this review.
It is OEM from Samsung & the contents in the box are:

1. S-View Wireless Receiver Cover(EP-VN910IBE)


2. Qi Compatible Wireless Charger (EP-PN915IWE)


3. Warranty Card & User Manual

I bought it in Samsung Experience Center Singapore (actually my wife bought it for me :p & I am Indonesian) for SGD 118 with a few tax refund (probably SGD 2) = USD 92.78 = IDR 1,073,523

Looks & Materials:
The wireless charger pad is made of texturized plastic on the front & glossy plastic on the back with rubber pad.
The S-View Cover is made of plastic covered with synthetic leather.
The wireless charger looks nice with only 1 color option = white (to bad, black will be nicer :P) & it has 1 LED indicator near the micro USB plug.
The Indicator flashes Red-Green-Orange when plugged into a power source & turns Solid Green when charging properly.
If the power source is less than 2A then The Indicator turns Blinking Green & it will charge but in slower rate.

The S-View cover is very nice looking classic Samsung Phone with exactly the same look compared to the ordinary S-View Cover.
Only 1 difference from the ordinary S-View Cover that the Wireless Receiver inside added around 1 mm of thickness to the back side of the Cover.

The wireless charger is very light at 110 g & come without the cable, so the original cable+charger is needed.
It also works with any 5V 1-2A charger & even works using 0.5A power source such as Laptop USB 2.0.

Specifications:
The wireless charger needs 5V, 2A input, but it will work with 1A input (Tested)
The S-View cover will charge at 5V,800mA rate with 2A input from the wireless charger unit.
This wireless charger kit is using Qi Wireless Charging Standard.

Testing:
The currents measuring is using Elixir Widget.
Testing tools :

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910H Asian Version


2. Sony VAIO CA16FG


3. OEM micro USB cable (from HTC Sensation)


4. OEM micro USB cable for Samsung Galaxy Note 4


5. OEM Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Fast Charger


6. OEM Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 Fast Charger


7. S-View Wireless Receiver Cover(EP-VN910IBE)


8. Qi Compatible Wireless Charger (EP-PN915IWE)

WiFi & Bluetooth is always ON during testing.

Sony VAIO CA16FG Laptop as source:
Actual charging rate with 0.5A input (USB 2.0) is ~435mA - 676mA (??)
Actual charging rate with 1A input (USB 3.0) is ~688mA.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 OEM charger as source:
Actual charging rate with 2A input is ~735mA

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 OEM charger as source:
Actual charging rate with is ~781mA

Both OEM cable charge at about the same rate even with different specification (HTC micro USB cable is using 4 Pin while Samsung Galaxy Note 4 micro USB cable is using 11 Pin)

The Phone outside temperature warms up a little when charging wirelessly.

Conclusion:
There are many option to wirelessly charge our Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Some are cheaper & some are more expensive.
But there are some guideline before you decide to buy wireless charging accessories:

1. Compatibility:
   1. Qi Standard is the most popular one right now, so it is widely compatible with many brands
   
   
   2. Many third party wireless receiver are cheaper but it blocks/partially blocks NFC, so choose carefully when you buy a third party receiver.
   
   
   3. Third party wireless receiver cause a minor "bulge" on the back of the phone
   
   
   4. The OEM Wireless Receiver is NFC compatible.
   
   


2. Aesthetic V.S. Price (for the wireless receiver)
   1. OEM = Expensive, Third Party = Cheap
   
   
   2. OEM (S-View Version)= Beautiful/classic Samsung look, Third Party = No Changed Look or even minor bulge on the back.
   
   
   3. OEM (Back Cover Version) = Cheaper than the S-View Version but problematic of you have third party Case/Cover as it is thicker, Third Party = compatible with any third party case/cover but some will affected by the minor "bulge"
   
   


3. Aesthetic V.S. Price (for the wireless charger pad)
   1. OEM = Only 2 version: The White wide pad or the Black mini pad which both look great, Third Party = Many options/colors which are some are cheaper but ugly and some are more expensive but also more beautiful
   
   
   2. OEM = Classic Samsung look & feel, Third Party = Wooden, Acrylics, Glass & Plastic options (some are great looking & some are ugly)
   
   

The wireless charger pad costs EUR 24.75 = USD 27.66 separately but very difficult to find (at least for now).
The S-View Wireless Cover is also sold separately (with 2 color option, Black & White) & it costs USD 69.99 in Samsung's official website & cheaper/more expensive in other 3rd party website.
So this Wireless Charging Kit is cheaper than separate units.

The choice is yours.
If you like the classic Samsung look/feel + you have extra cash, buy this Wireless Charging Kit.
If you don't like classic Samsung look/feel but you have extra cash you can combine the Back Cover OEM version + more expensive/stylish charging pad + 3rd party casing/cover but make sure that the casing/cover will fit your Note 4+Back Cover with built in wireless receiver.
If you want to save some money, choose the cheaper alternatives out there ;)

The Wireless Charging Kit is a very nice accessory for our Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with only 1 downside that it is relatively more expensive compared to the alternatives out there .

This is the pictures (taken using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910H & Note 10.1 N8000):

Qi wireless charger with 910Fake ?? topic

Anyone tried the official samsung qi back with the Fake note 4 ? thinking of getting another qi charging back for my fake phone if it works ok. does the 901Fake charge with Qi ?

custom turbo magnetic wireless charging car dock topic

so, Ive wanted a magnetic car dock for a while. Airdock makes a nice one. but the airdock 2 is not available. at least last time i checked. So i decided to make one. this has been an on going project for about a month. the first one i made was quite simple. very much like the one on youtube. just 4 magnets placed in a LG charging pad. problem was, the charging would start and stop randomly. I assumed it had to do with the magnet locations. some how it was effecting the charging (considering Qi charging is magnetic)

back to the drawing board! and then project after project lol. I think i must have made 8 docks. all had issues and I was not satisfied. I even made one out of carbon fiber, or an attempt to! didnt turn out well.. then I went a bit out side of the box. so heres what i did

First, i had an extra Turbo battery cover. i plastic dipped that. my theory was plastic dip would work as a release agent for my next step. then I took an old iphone bumper case my wife had and used that as my frame.. alined 4 magnets next to the moto symbol (i put 2 small peaces of metal in that area in side the phone) then i used tap to cover all the gaps the case would have on the phone, and poured in a full tube of plastic weld epoxy. I had no clue what would happen but i was willing to try!


after everything cured it worked really well.. I was able to take the epoxy off the phone cover fairly easly (you can see it pulled off some of the vz and droid writing.. as well as the moto symbol)

now, i have a form that matches the turbo exactly.

the next step was just a mater of sanding and cutting off any of the over pour and any imperfections in the epoxy.


then i put in the wireless charging pad


next, i plastic dipped the front (being rubber it works really well as a non slip surface)

then i warped the outside in some auto chrome trim




and that was that! new charging dock for my car that fits like a glove! because it matches the turbos curves, it auto centers it self. and holds super tight! phone wont move at all... very happy with the out come.. let me know what you guys think! thanks
