for the people who have it working, how well does the back cover close? Mine almost closes all the way but it doesn't just enough to bug me a bit.

if you change the 4 metal plates and use magnets 1mm instead it'll be hard to close the back cover. I used 4 0.5mm magnets on the dock to enforce the its hold and left the original 4 metal plates in the phone and it works just fine. back cover closes perfKind of the same here. I think if you put the coil more in the middle than near the bottom it could close better but you can't move it up too high or it might not stay on the touchstone. I don't care enough to try changing mine though.
This seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I read through most of the thread and some others were asking about the charging speed. Anyone know how to up the speed at all? PArt of what was drawing me to wireless charging was that it was supposedly faster.
I can't get this to work. When I put a voltmeter on the terminals while the SG3 is on I don't get any voltage readings. My battery is at 89%. Do the terminals always have voltage?
I have noticed since I did this, my battery drains quickly. Anyone else?

For those wanting to power the palm dock in vehicles I've found that these chargers work fine....
The original Palm one on 12v. I havent tested on 24v but it's rated for 12 - 24v

um, i'm going to have to disagree with you there. i think there are other threads suggesting you get a nokia ca 101 cable?Just beware the palm one ONLY works with palm USB cables, due to the size of the moulding surrounding the USB plug not fitting into the charger on non palm cables.
I've done this mod on my i9305 S3 and it works great.
I resoldered the gold contact on the Pixi foil to align wth the S3 contacts directly instead of using copper tape. It only took 10 mins extra and seems a more reliable way of doing things if you can solder.
I settled on using eight 1mm x 6mm magnets as I found these to be the only combination that would reliably hold my phone thru a TPU case to the palm car mount I made.
I tried 8x 0.5mm and 5 x 0.5mm magnets which didn't give any bumps in the back cover but they where only strong enough for use with a bare phone.
Charging rates varied.....1st dock would only give 360mA until I doubled up the silver foil into a cross instead of a T, after which it gave 460mA reliably. I later found my 2nd and 3rd docks wheren't as fussy so suspect the coil may be off centre slightly in my first one and the extra silver tape compensates.
Although GCC was reporting 460mA charge rate I was still struggling to charge when running TomTom in my car unless screen brigtness was turned right down. I then installed Perseus kernel on my phone and in the STweaks app adjusted the charge settings by removing the 100mA drop the phone applies automatically to the charge current. Although the GCC app still reports 460mA charge rate my phone now charges at about 5% / hr with TomTom running and screen at full brigtness. It's also now much less fussy about positioning the phone on the dock and always charges at full rate even when offcentre slightly.
I am considering doing this but with a twist. I would put the coil between the otterbox rubber and hard plastic and put the wires though a hole in the battery door. I would probably have to cut or thin out the rubber so it would fit flush, but I am confident it could go through the fairly thin otterbox plastic.
