After having a Powermat for my iPhone, then one for my HTC HD2, I was disappointed to see I couldn't find one for my Amaze. When I took the back off, I saw the rear case is more than just a plastic cover.
Anyone else ever use one before? I loved mine. I can't wait to see if they make one for this phone.
Well you said it yourself, the back of the htc amaze is more than just a back, it has an antenna system of some sort built into it. I don't know if the makers of power mat could engineer a back that has the antennas AND the power mat thing. Maybe one day, you never know!
What about the Duracell power mat? Aren't those universal to every device? Like you put some sticker on the battery and it works lol

I suspect they won't make one for the amaze, considering its discontinued. I do know how I can make one though. Powermat makes a generic pack, one you can plug into your micro USB and throw the pack on the mat. Then I saw a case for the amaze, with an extra battery inside, that goes over the phone and plugs into the micro USB. I could modify this case, remove the battery, and replace it with the powermat pack, I might be on to something.
This is why my license plate on my car says HACKR....

I bought Powermat for HTC HD2, but when i put my phone on Powermat it doesn't charge my device. When i put device on Powermat the lights and sound on Powermat switch on, but device is not charging. Maybe anyone knows what the problem?

Phone isnt discontinued there was just an article on Engadget that a bunch of amaze 4gs were held at customs because of that patent thing. Why would tmo still be importing a discontinued phone?

Does anyone use Inductive chargers for their HTC devices? I use one on my Wii remotes and its great. A special case would be required along with the battery but this would be a really neat feature to have as I always place my phone on the same counter when i'm not using it.
I had the powermat for the evo 4g and LOVED IT... Till the battery cover broke 3 months in...
I'm hoping they make a kit for the 3D so I can just pick up the new battery cover and use my existing mat to charge, But if the new ones are as durable as the Evo 4G was, STAY WELL AWAY FROM THEIR PRODUCTS...
Sorry, meant to post this in the Accessories section.
I had a power mat and broke the connector, too. I cant recommend it based on my phone use style....I needed to be able to charge my phone at work which meant either pulling that stupid connector out all the time or buying another charger. I-stupidly-picked buy another charger...money poorly wasted. And if you need to charge it on the road or road trip, you either have to pit the original cover on, or take the mat with you.
Then there's the morning I woke up to my phone practically on fire because the charger got it crazy hot...and that was the end of that.

My connector had broken as well...but it still worked when I plugged the connector into the battery door/phone. I just had to be really careful not to lose the connector.
Hopefully if they release a kit for the 3D, it won't be as easy to break.

Energizer has a nice looking one but currently is only supports Apple and BB.

I just bought the photon and came from the Epic. For my epic i used to have wall chargers that came with two aftermarket batteries that i bought from ebay. I loved having those, i never had to plug my phone to the cord. The price was like $13 to $15. Has anyone seen anything like this yet? Maybe its too soon.

I've seen a allegedly compatible charger on ebay for about $6-7.
No batteries yet that I've seen.
I have a 2nd from a return and I would love to keep it charged. The charger on ebay seems like an adjustable generic.

that's not a bad price for oem considering the battery alone is 49.99 from moto store...
I'm hoping someone comes out with a dummy desktop dock without the functionality of the HD dock. I need one for work so I can place the Photon in. I hate just laying the Phonon around without a dock.
Also hoping to see desktop phone holder/extra battery charger unit like the one I had for my EVO.

I carried an extra battery for my Epic and I was wanting something like that for the Photon. After taking the back off to put in a memory card I'm a bit concerned about how the back is going to hold up being taken off a lot to switch batteries. I was a bit surprised that my Epic back had lasted a year of being constantly taken off so maybe the Photon will surprise me. If not I guess I will just need to keep a stash of backs handy..

I went ahead and used binder clips to create a dock for my desk at work. Originally used it with my HTC Hero, and am now using it with my Photon.
There is an article on Lifehacker about doing this, which I used for inspiration. (Can't post the URL apparently, since I'm a n00b.)
It might not be pretty, but at least it sits up now and is easily viewable from my usual sitting position.
i dont like bulky battery
Does anyone know if the Atrix battery can fit in the Photon?
Atrix comes with 1950 mA vs. 1650 mA for the Photon
Thanks

Just picked it up today, they said its a week old. I notice if i move the phone around while its plugged in, it will light up randomly and stop charging. The cable doesn't really click in either like most other phones. Is the charger messed up or the actual charger port?

Please post all questions in the q&a section.
What kind of charger are you using? If it's not the OEM charger that actually fits fully into the port and you're just using a regular usb cable, that will happen because it doesn't fit in securely the way the oem charger does.

OEM charger, black says HTC on it. When the charger is moved upwards it loses connection. The charger port feels firm when using a toothpick to move it around. It isn't actually loose.
Charger says htc, but is the cable the correct one and second question is, is the charger the correct on for THIS device?

I'll take a picture of it and upload it, I believe it is the correct one but I could be wrong.
Cable looks bent at the phones end, probably damaged.

This looks bent. Where is the best place to get a replacement?
Call HTC say it shorted or ebai

If the charger moves at the connector end then you will be able to look closely and see if the pivot point is in the joint between the black plastic and the metal "insert"... It's the charger
Or if the pivot rotation point is inside the phone...
Then it's the phone
The metal insert on my charger is super solid.. No wiggle where it meets the black plastic at all

Why in the word didn't they use the pogo pins? thats what they are there for. That connector plugged in to the usb port is hideous.. Plenty (maybe all) of other powered cases that use pogo pins. My ATT One XL Mugen power case fits the ATT One X+ just fine, in case anyone was wondering about compatibility. And you can still access your USB port.

Yeah that is weird how the Iphone one does'nt use the usb port but the OneX+ one does. My battery is fine personally but a power case is the way to go if you have battery shortage issues do to heavy use. I have the solar charger so I never worry about battery when I'm out I just throw it on my dash ready to roll. The one you have sounds pretty slick tho Im gonna have to check that out.
is there any Qi wireless power bank?
due to the capasity of dna's battery...i need to bring alot a powerbank....but keep on flipping the usb cover seems to be risky to snap the cover.
is there any Qi wireless power bank in the market? so i can charge the phone when two items are put back to back.
Forgive me if i totally misunderstood you but are you talking about a wireless charger you can buy from verizon or ebay, amazon?+

I believe the OP is referring to something portable. A "power bank" being a battery...
I don't think it's exactly what you mean, as from your post I picture (in my feeble mind..) a battery pack with a built-in QI charger coil. But, just to experiment and test something, I plugged my Nexus 4 wireless charger cable into my portable battery pack and it works just fine. The Nexus 4 charger may not be ideal for a car, since it doesn't lay flat, but I think the flat charger they sell at Verizon (an LG?) has a micro USB connector as well. If so, it may very well work with any of the battery packs which have a USB charging output.
Keep us posted on what you find.

Break off the cover... Mine snapped in half in two weeks and just took the rest of it off... It does look very sleek with it on but if you have a case on it and your plugging it in every night... Just take it off

Ew, I can't believe you guys are actually telling people to break their phones. I'm sorry your covers snapped off, clearly you're all very bitter about it. But let us, whose phones haven't broken and still look sexy, try and enjoy that fact.
I think the OP is looking for something like the mophie with built in Qi charging. I don't think anything exists that does that. I supposed you could hack something together so that a Qi pad connects to the power pack's USB port. It wouldn't be pretty but it'd work. The efficiency of the process though would be pretty painful (charging the pack = loss, wireless charging = loss, heat = loss).
