[Q] Repair OEM Qi back cover...need help - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I successfully removed the Qi coil off my OEM Samsung back cover yesterday. Because the contacts/pegs (whatever they are called) are now too long, I tried to trim them, I have overtrimmed them. So to remedy the short contacts, I tried to put solder on them, but my soldering skills are not good, and thecontacts came off, they are very delicate...
I want to repair it but I don't know if the parts I am looking for is available and I also don't know what they are called.
Here is the damaged Qi coil

And I want to buy contacts similar to these:
I don't know what they are called, or if there are better options, please let me know

I managed to salvage some of the pegs from my old S3 Qi receivers, and soldered them to my Note 4's receiver a few days ago... but no luck.. It seems even with soldering, there seems to be no contact.

Make sure they aren't short circuit.
As you said before that your soldering skill is not good there is a chance that the result is shorted.

maybe I explained evil, I know the pinout, I seek a correspondence between the connector pins and the lots that we are on the postre the board, as I marked in figure
Regards
Rudegar,
The Fernando is talkin' about correspondence between the spots on the board near the pin 15 and the pins from the other side of the board that is bloody tiny. I know about what he was talking about. And i am interested in solution for these, cuz when the connector fell of from my hima board he make a short conntact between pin 13 and 14 (the tiny ones) and there is no possibility to use it again even with new connector. So the alternative is this fernando's experiment. But the question is HOW TO FIND OTHER CORRESPONDENTING PINS LIKE PIN 15????

[Q] two gold pins on back of phone?

Sorry if this has already been covered, but I didn't know how to search for this.
On the back of the phone without the cover on, there are two pins left of the battery.
shown here.

Any word on what it is for?
My thoughts: inductive charging being released later
Hmm, I have no idea either, but concur with your guess! Maybe the inductive kit to be released later will come with a replacement backing piece and a stand/matt for the other end? Hmm...
Considering there is supposed to be an inductive charging kit in the future for this phone, I would imagine these are the forward compatible charging points for the back that would come with the kit.
Personally, I would prefer an extended battery rather than an inductive charging kit.
It does make sense.. for those who can't wait, there's mods for other phones (Nexus/ Note) that use the palm pre components to create a DIY inductive charging if anyone's interested

[Q] Touchstone Modification - Galaxy Relay

I just got a Galaxy Relay 4G to replace my Pre 3 soon. I got so used to Touchstone charging so I'm planning to carry it over to the new phone, like some others have done:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...stone-mod.html
Problem is there aren't any resistors around the Micro USB port where usually most mods hitch the wire into, and I suck at soldering something that tiny. Anyone got any tips on how I can solder it? The negative wire goes to the shell of the socket and positive wire to the 5V line on the port. For starters I know I need a new soldering iron, the 60W one I have is way overpowered.

[Q] Camera flex cable (tiny) extension

Hi
I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.
I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.
Turns out it isn't.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?
I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)
Any input would be appreciated
Here's a photo of the connector

any help PLEASE!
You'd have to get a replacement motherboard for your device. As there is no way you can fix that yourself, unless you are a certified or skilled electrician.
Ok man dont worry just search the schematic of the board and you will find there the number of those 2 pieces. It will be kinda hard to buy them but... if you have it then you'll need a soldering station with veri fine tip or you can solder them with hot air soldering station.
