D850 qi charging mod

[Pilz]

What is the thickest case that someone has used the PMA coil with? I have a Spigen slim armor among others (Spigen ultra hybrid, Caseology, cruzerlite etc..) What would you recommend for the case so the coil still allows it to charge?

I think I get what you see dremmeled , you simply dremmeled the case edge before the snap to lower the side closer to the snap?

yes, because the att folio case wraps over the phone somewhat, so i dremelled down the sides and shaved a lil off the top so everything lined up.

Really nothing works with the PMA inserted into the back. Its even finicky with just the back cover. I had a Slim Armor and Diztronic and neither worked. I did have a Spigen Slim snap on case that worked but it was very very touchy. I finally solved my problem. I sold my AT&T model and just purchased the T-Mobile version and Qi back.

I confirm the pma pads being very picky about placement. I keep going back and forth about buying tmo phone [emoji19]

My wife's padphone x, is very touchy about where it lines up on the Duracell charging pad. The phone has to be half on, half off, in order for it to be seen by the pad. If I could find her a single device pma pad that was more forgiving on placement, I'd get it. Seems the G3 behaves similarly. Not a great way to roll out a barely used charging standard.

i have the orange nilkiin case with an Icarez 9H Tempered Glass scrren protector. i have AT&T so i had to buy the folio case, wonderful PMA, and i dremelled it down, so it snaps right in place.i can confirm the bumper case fits nicely with the protector, and wirelessly charges with no issues.
i tried the Qi USB receiver, but the phone kept telling me about it being a slow charge. which it was, didnt even get full overnight. anyway, just posting my findings.

When u say u took the quick circle case sticker off ...how hard was it to take it off ? And did u get the quick circle case from Amazon ?

I didn't remove the sticker from the folio case. I cut the front part off, and dremelled it down. Being the att variant is larger than the standard back. I went to an at&t store and asked if they'd honor the 50% off deal they were offering with the g3. And they accepted. It made it easier to rip apart a $30 case instead of $60 ?.

Battery doors with built in wireless PMA

Hey everybody... I am going to have AT&T battery doors with Powermat charging built in manufactured.

I need your help!

I need photos of the back of the AT&T G3, the Powermat sticker/chip on the folio case, the PIN layout, etc. I do not have an AT&T model. So with your help and as much information as you can provide me, I will make this happen for us all.

ANY information and detailed pictures you can give me will help me communicate how it needs to be made.

Thanks, lets get this done!

Why not send pictures of the Qi? If you knew anything Mr. "I have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Columbia University (Fu institute). I understand how electricity works." (http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2ekb2f/lg_g3_oem_wireless_qi_charging_battery_door_for/ck0oatx), the pin layout is the same as the Qi. Sending pictures will do nothing. They will need to test the phone to find out the frequency and other information about the PMA.

But I'll do you one better. I actually sent a AT&T phone to a manufacturer for them to actually do REAL research on the phone.

Btw, I'm still waiting for my $200

Hey guys.

I skimmed through the thread and it doesn't look like anyone has come up with a solution for qi charging for the d850. I just picked one up and I think I'm going to actually solder a receiving coil to the USB port. I have done this mod on a One Plus One and you can see my threads here.

I looked at some screen shots of a teardown of the G3 and it looks like it will be very similar to the mod I did on my OPO.
Here's the picture showing the port. http://www.ubreakifix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ubif-g3-22.jpg
So looking at the back of the phone the positive should be on the left and negative on the right if I recall correctly. I will of course test with a multimeter first. I may have to remove the NFC antenna if it blocks the signal, but if I can get this working I can just order a new one off ebay.

I'll probably take a crack at this over the weekend and update you guys with some pictures.

I'm working with the manufacturer. They should have the PMA soon.

PMA is not compatible with qi correct?

I already have qi chargers everywhere so I will not consider PMA if it is not compatible.

PMA is not compatible with Qi. AT&T, Rogers and Bell use PMA. If you're heavily invested in Qi and you have a AT&T, Rogers or Bell phone, you won't be able to charge wirelessly unless you buy a universal Qi receiver that occupies the charging port.

You should go back and read my post you quoted initially...
My modification uses the USB port charging pins but leave the port open for utilization.

How are you making out with the Qi soldering mod on the AT&T G3? Has surgery been successful?

It would be interesting to see if this works. I still have my D850 ( it might go up on eBay soon because I haven't used it since I got my F460S) and it would be nice to see a workaround.
