Getting ready to do this to my gnex and thinking with all the pucks I have laying around it would be fun and beneficial to attempt this with the N7.
Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I've thought about it -
But, the charger may not have enough juice. The Touchpad uses a different Touchstone charger for that reason, as I understand it. Maybe the smaller N7 would work.
I'll watch any homebrew projects to build a touchstone interface - but I'll probably wait for a charging dock that uses the pogo pins. That would be as convenient as the inductive charger, for me.
I understand what you're saying. Maybe we can rig up two coils for the backplate/battery and use a combo of two pucks lol.

Facepalm... This thread has been dead for a year now... Why did you have to bring it back?

Would this be possible? I know you can achieve AC charging on the Galaxy Nexus with the palm pre inductive charger but would it be possible with the nexus 7? Does it simply not give out enough power to charge the tablet.
Just noticed HP touchpad has it as well....should have done more research! Maybe this will become an info thread for people willing to attempt it since the back cover is easily removable.
So the touchpad charger (wired) will charge the N7. Does anyone know how much the touchstone puts out? I would like to have this charging mod on my Gnex and my N7 soon with just one touch stone in my house. Just want to make sure the touch stone can put out enough juice for the nexus 7.
Thank you,

Not sure but don't think it would work. I have it on my gnex and the touchstone puts out 1 amp where the N7 stock charger puts out 2 amps. If it did work it would prolly take twice as long to charge but I could be wrong!

HP Touchpad also uses 2 amps charger (in fact won't work with any other) by default and touchstone can charge it even it it's competelly dead. Full charge takes about 4-5h (i usualy charged it during the night), but i never bothered to check how much amps it gives via touchstone. I think it should should work with Nexus 7 as well.
That's what I saw, and also on the HP site it said same Approx. charge time as wired charger. Has anyone torn down the HP touchstone yet anywhere? I'm very interested in this. Wireless charging at home and possibly as a car mount as well.

Any luck with wireless charging mod yet? Would love this feature!!!
Nokia makes a wireless charging adapter, it plugs into a microusb and lets the phone work with their charging plate. I bet you could take that apart and it would be easier to find then touchstone stuff because you can buy it new. I'll see if I can find a link.
I was hoping to start a little project on my N7. I love induction charging and want to set it up on my nexus 7. I was wondering if anyone who has gone through this/know about it/enjoy posting could give me some advice,
Most specifically:
Best dock+backcover combo
Thinnest coil plus chip
Fastest charging
Thanks in advance everybody, can't wait to hear your 2 cents!!

I haven't actually seen anybody fully implement inductive charging yet. However, this guy started doing inductive charging:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/101739011161245720271/posts/fAse7vGmc3q
Well, one easy way of doing it would be to buy a Qi standard inductive charger and a Qi standard inductive charging case (for example, the Palm Pre Touchstone case) and then pull the internals out of the donor case and fit them inside a Nexus 7 case. There's a small amount of soldering required and perhaps some fiddling with the fit, but the components are relatively simple and lay relatively flat. It wouldn't be too hard at all.
Unfortunately, I believe most current Qi charging solutions are relatively low amperage. This would make for a pretty slow charge on the power hungry Nexus 7. Not too bad it you're using it as an overnight charger, but nowhere near as fast as a 2 amp charger. It's possible that you'll find an inductive charger with a higher current output but if you're looking for that it might be easier to build one from scratch,
I did the Touchstone mod on my GNex. It only puts out .56 Amps. Their are kernels with "quick charge" that would let it ramp up to 1 amp but that was it. I am wanting to play with it too, but I'm more thinking of making a dock with POGO pins instead.
I gotta say, they touchstone is great for my GNex. I have a touchstone mounted in my car, so it holds it in place & charges. Occasionally the charge connection gets interrupted (hit a bump, etc...) and it takes 10 seconds to restart. I added additional stronger magnets to my case, but still I don't think the touchstone magnets would do very well holding a tablet instead.
Also, additional magnets screw with your compass...
the touchstone also has a strange angle for watching movies on the tablet.
also i dont know if you can make the induction work with 2amps like the asus charger. (which would be awsome for superfast charging)
If you used the pogo pins for this it would disable the audio if using the correct kernel (see my post in accessories). You would have to modify the kernel to disable it stopping speaker audio out (should be just commenting a few lines though).

The Touchstone is adjustable to whatever angle you want.
Does the S4 come with this out of the box or do we need a special back plate?
Can we use the same Qi Wireless charger used with the N4?
It's not out of the box, there will be a seperate back plate for sale, but you can look out for the inserts that probably will be for sale soon (as with S3), and it will work with the N4 charger as long as it is in the same Qi Wireless charging standard.
wireless charging - any charger and wireless support will be fine?
or i must use samsung original support only?
what the different i should be looking at before buying a charger and a support for the note 4...??
any suggestions ?

AFAIK yes, but don't know it 100%... I use a original Samsung Flip Cover with induction charge support, only the charger itself is not original Samsung...
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Premium HD app
so it is not recommended to use not original kit of samsung then...?
will this ones fit with the normal back cover...?
I use a cheap Chinese receiver unit, it fits in my original back and works fine.
As the original charger back uses QI standard you must be able to use any QI charger regardless of the brand.
I tried a third-party Qi receiver and strongly recommend the genuine Samsung wireless charging back cover. I have it and also have the wireless S-View cover. Any charging pad will work but try to get one with three coils if you can.
