While one would think, soldering a charging coil onto the charging connections would yield in a shortening of the normal connections to the battery, how ever it turns out the combination is very robust.

The phone will charge without issues on a cable connection, aswell as on the wireless charging pad, and data connection via cable remains intact.

By using the charging pad, the coil do get a bit warm, the insulation material removed in step 1, to make it as thin as possible can have an effect on the heat dissepating to the battery from the coil.

Over my usage of this setup I have not yet come across any miss behaviour of the phone due to the charging over wireless or any other issues arisen from this configuration.

I tryed to copy your guide and soldered everything in place (5V to this usb pin & Ground to the usb-port), messed up the charging coil a bit by ripping off the whole connector (I now have only 2 pads left for soldering to) and if i place it on the dock, the flashy lights on the dock will turn on, but the phone will not charge.

As you said normal charging by usb works fine, but i cant figure out my problem.

Hi Jann

I have used this approach on three different phones, you need to make sure the + connection on the charging pad is soldered onto the connection on the USB port that is marked by the CN2 arrow on the main board.

I had one that showed the same issues you are describing here, taking the phone apart and resoldering the + connection solved that issue.

Best regards
