Anyone know what the contacts by the SIM slot are for?
Looks like only the Verizon version has these.
All other versions have the wireless charging contacts to the left of the battery,
but not these next to the SIM slot.

Inductive charging contact pins.
See video for more info (Hardware section at around 1:40).

2 sets of wireless charging contacts?
It's been confirmed that the ones to the left of the battery are for wireless charging here:
Be wierd to have one wireless charging system that everyone can use (except Japan), and another wireless charging system that only Verizon customers can use.

Yeah, I saw that video too. But it makes me wonder if he got those contacts' purpose mixed up with the other ones cause of the other video showing the wireless charing in operation.

Ah, I see. I've never used the tech before, so I'm honestly not sure myself. But I remember seeing that video and thought that's what it is for.
Thanks for the info.

I've not used the tech either, but I thought I might try it once the Samsung version becomes available (depending on price).

Might be for this type of accessory

Anyone try an INFUSE DESKTOP DOCK on GS2

While the GS2 is a few mm smaller than the Infuse I am wondering if it will fit into the Infuse Media dock at least for charge & sync purpose in portrait mode. Looks like it should.
Wonder if anyone has tried?
Referring to this dock:

If you haven't yet purchased it, I would just wait till they have the Galaxy S II in stock.

Except that doesn't work in landscape mode or have audio out but it does look good for the price (except for the big ugly EVO logo on it).
Slides in the dock fine for charging (no case). Might fit with an ultra thin case.
I tested it out at the AT&T store yesterday. It charges the phone and everything, just a little slimmer. They had it there for $29, which was cheaper than the AGF case I got.
Has anyone tried the dock for the SGSII from Samsung yet? http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1D3BEGSTA
It seems like it'd be worth the $49.

[Q] is this a battery issue? or...

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it

Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.

Wireless Charing

I heard something a long time ago about the Samsung Galaxy Note will ship with Wireless Charing you don't have to use a plug to charge your phone.
Has anyone made this yet?
All phones can do wireless charing. They do it all the time (charing = to do work). Then there is wireless charring, which can be accomplished with any lighter or blowtorch.
As for wireless charging, I haven't seen it yet for the Note.
good one!!
Maybe I was thinking of Samsung Galaxy S3 then not the Note which is my bad so sorry.....
Samsung dd make a Wireless Charing Device for the note it will sell pretty fast

^ Lol that gif.
Btw, there is a thread somewhere in accessories (Internation or at&t, I don't remember) about having the palm touchstone charger to work with the note. IMO, it looks like a fairly easy mod if you know how to solder and the touchstone charger is only like $15 on ebay.

Brand new charger dead?

Hello,
I've never used the stock charger but realising it may be the cause of some poor performance, I took it out of it's box, plug it and then.. Nothing happens?
Actually the charger was in my former i9100G box. But even if the G version had a different charger, it's still just an usb charger and something should happen! Can I open it to check the inside?
Sent from my GT-I9100
You could, hell, you can do whatever you want.
Now, what you should do is to check info on this regard, G variant is underclocked so it might need less juice from the power socket.
Low charge is good charge in my opinion but then again, what the hell do I know.
I'm pretty sure someone else already tried this, it has to be in the interbet sonewhere.
Sent from the little guy
I've checked again, even though the charger model is SAME, the usb connector looks sightly different...
It could also be a fake charger! Writing on it is not clear as the i9100 charger.
Serial starts by DK, other starts by RT. Left is i9100, right is i9100G.

So return it to the seller, get a refund, buy one from someone reputable (And don't make multiple threads about the same issue, you should know a lot better than that given how long you've been here :-/)
Multiple thread..? Curious where you see that! Actually I wanted to post on the I9100G global thread but couldn't find it. Now I did

How i killed my ALPHA

Hey guys, i really loved my Galaxy ALPHA as it was a freaking fast device and the first in metal, the last where you could change battery yourself etc. I did not envy S6.
But as i used it for navigation so frequently, three days ago it stopped charging battery because the charging adapter in the case has a connection problem. I connect to charge (USB or loader) and when i move the cable it starts/stop/start/stop. I don't know how to explain it better but the connection on the phone was wear out. Well the end of the story was it had only 2% left and i needed google maps because i was in a foreign place and it did not load in the car so i smashed the phone against the windshield from inside the car. It broke the windshield so i demolished the phone on the street. To make sure nobody would be able to get data from the device storage i had to make little pieces of the phone.
Well when i think back...about 2/3 of the devices in my smartphone history died in the same or a similar way the ALPHA did, i maybe should visit an anti-aggression training or anything like that.
Ok now i have a S6 Edge Sapphire black and it is the better device, no doubt. But i really loved my ALPHA because it was something special..
