hello,
i am trying to achieve inductive charging on my defy.
did- installed back cover coil- working
- soldered usb pins for connections.
now i need to shorten data pins to force defy to charge.
but Q - wont the inductive charging work when simple usb plug is connected?
with out special mod...

Hi.
I bought a Himalaya from ebay that cannot be charged through mains charger...
Although it can be charged through the usb cable..
I tried to charge it with its cradle connected to the wall charger and it's not charging. If i remove the battery and put it on the cradle it's charging(the battery only). Also, i tried my blueangel's wall charger and it's also not working with this himalaya. (it should?..)
So...now i'm charging the device through usb...either with the cradle or just a capable usb cable.
I think that there's a problem with the connector of the device...but i wonder why it's charging on usb and not charging on mains charger.
The best solution that i can imagine is to open it...measure the pins with a multimeter and then short-circuit the usb charging pin with the 'faulty' one...
Any other ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried to alter the connections on the charger. I short-circuited pin 22 with pin 13 and it was charging. Altough...when i tried to solder the short-cirtuit i destroyed charger's connector So i'm afraid to solder something on the 2020's side.
Is there a way or special soldering iron for such jobs?.....
My conclusion about himalaya's charging system is that it's charging from pin 13 when connected on usb but it's charging from pins 20,21,22( not sure) when connected on a wall charger.
For now, i'm using a usb wall charger by connecting the usb cable on it.
dear nicktgr15
Its very interesting.
Could you please give me screenshoot of that PIN connect to wall charger ? Which PIN in the himalaya mainboard .. connect to what Female PIN on wall charger ?
My Himalaya 22 pin choped so can not possible to charge on spot.
I can only charge the battery by remove the battery and charge on seperate charger.
So when my himalaya power is over I have to take the battery out on it and charge it on the general charger...
Thanks anyway.
hi guys, I soldered a 5v charger's +5v & ground wires to a female USB port, then connected to the mini-usb port of the Atom, external power was detected but it doesn't charge, what else do I have to do to trigger charging? thanks!

Interesting. I've noted similar issues, I first thought it was to do with the power current capacity however I'm not so sure now. What I did find was that if I plugged in the usb plug first and then turned the charger power on (e.g. car charger 850mA) then it would charge. However the original charger worked any which way. Also turning off the screen would result in slow charging even when it said not! Does this help?
There is some problem in oem battry driver, you can google to find the driver hotfix.
sorry for my BAD english..
You must give two other pins short with resistor as i remember. This is in order to simulate USB connectivity, which original charger do.
This is for HP Ipaq rw6815 I have..
more info you can find in below links it's for other devices, but the workaround is the same:

I don't think below method i safe enough, I think it's not a wise decision to shorten your data pins, but obviously work with iphone

I fried my charging port socket (don't ask -- coffee, I think). It smelled burned and the charger tip would get hot in the port. I bought a new charging port panel and properly installed it with the protective film removed from the bottom and carefully connected the ribbon cable. The phone will not accept input through the charging port micro USB, but it will charge on a wireless charger. Could I have fried the connector at the battery through which the plug-in power goes? Is there a separate circuit that inputs current from the wireless charger? Could that explain why changing the charging port circuit panel did not fix the problem? Should I buy a new battery and try that? Diagnostic help would be appreciated.
As my microusb jack on my sgs4 is starting to wear out i was wandering if i could use the two terminals on the back for the Qi charging pad for charging with a USB powerblock or computer etc?
What i was thinkin is to take a USB lead and just keep the male USB A plug, bare the wires and then connect the red and black wires to the Qi charging terminals on my phone, thus providing my phone with another means of charging..
So i guess im wondering if its possible to put 5v DC on the Qi pad terminals without damaging anything..
Grateful for any help
Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix my old Nubia with a broken USB port by bypassing the port.
Since it's soldered to the motherboard, it's almost impossible to solder right on the usb pins.
But I've noticed testpoints, and found the VCC one, on which I soldered a wire. another being soldered to the outside of the port for grounding.
I thought I would be able to charge it that way, but it's not showing any signs of life (with or without the battery)
So I have 2 questions:
-can I charge through the testpoints ?
-do I need to send a signal to the ID pin ? (I guess not, I opened up a charge only cable and it had only 2 wires)
Pic of the connector
I tried charging it with a lab psu and an Aukey Quickcharge 2 charger
Thanks for your help
