not sure, but have you tried it on the palm touchstone rather than the touchpad touchstone?
also... are you using a case? if so, you might have a case that's too thick

Here is another link...i have not tried it on a stone as i don't have one and they are the same thing/

the touchpad touchstone charges slightly differently than the palm and potentially it might not make the receiver not want to initiate the connection.
also, are you using a case? if so, is it thicker than 4mm?

ummm took case of to test but no luck. I hear what you are saying about the chargers but obviously this is designed to be independent of the brand but follow the same standard which all those chargers do along with the energizers etc of the world.

actually... between the three known inductive charging standards, they're not really compatible at all. Powermat claims to be providing qi support in the future but none of them currently work on the other's product.

Replacing broken charging port?

I dropped my amaze while plugged in and now charger/usb won't work. I'm just wondering if anyone has replaced one before on this phone? I've seen replacement parts on eBay for like 6 dollars and I was wondering how easy it would be to fix? Not really a big deal because I have 4 batteries and a charger but it would be nice to use USB on the computer.

you could always goolge up a "how to video" and see what you find lol..
I did but could not find anything specific.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
here's a video of how to take the HTC amaze apart.. so you should be able to change the charge port also while putting it back together
It requires micro soldering. The port is on the logic board. Your best bet is to find someone who can repair circuitry. EBay has a few people who will do it. Its not cheap. Probably $50 or more.

That's what I thought and I'm not comfortable trying to solder it myself. I guess its not bad externally charging the batteries but I use GPS a lot and it would be nice to use the car charger. There's a place by me that said $80 to fix but I think I'll just save up for a new phone $80 is half of what I paid for the phone itself and it still works great with the anker batter I can go a full day without swapping batteries unless I use GPS.

Magnet activates drive mode

The past couple of weeks I noticed that every once in a while my phone would be in drive mode for no apparent reason. Well last night I realized it was the magnet in my nexus 7 case that was causing it. If you place the magnet on the back of the optimus g it activates driving mode. Don't know if there are any car accessories with magnets but was wondering if it could be programmed to open a different app. Don't know how useful it would be but just a thought.

I set my phone on my Bluetooth hmdx jam speaker ant it has been doing that since this phone came out.
Old this was discussed like December if I recall. We came to the conclusion that it was a ditched peripheral from lg for a ditched car accessory

I just loaded SnowJB and it doesn't seem to do it anymore. Only worked on stock ICS it seems. This ROM doesn't have the drive mode app so that's probably why. It was annoying so glad its gone.

I am on Snow too. Was thinking about rigging up my own car dock/magnet, but oh well. Easy come, easy go.
Does not work on snow job but that's OK.
Look at this dock it has a magnet on it

Note 2 almost caught on fire

Take a look at my girlfriends note 2, she was at work and plugged it in to charge and a few minutes later smelled burning and her phone was off. She opened the back cover and found the wireless charging pins had overheated and was burning through the back cover. What do you think could have caused this? Phone still works except calls can only be heard on speakerphone. Crazy...

Verizon note2? Wireless charging pins aren't exposed, elaborate?
If another model I'd guess some residue on the inside of the backing grounded the 2 pins? If you ever picked up an oily car battery you might know how little it takes.. >_>

Sorry here is the picture, yes the wireless charging connections are covered but you can see it burned through it.

I'd march right into the Verizon store and show them. I could almost guarantee you they'd order you a new replacement for sure.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
Verizon overnighted a replacement as soon as I took it into the store so they could see the damage on the phone.

I have purchased from TigerDirect - many years ago - and they were reliable then. I presume the same is true now... They are I the US and have been in business a long time... I just ordered two charging docks from them.
Note: I have already ordered the wireless charging back cover from Verizon because I actually prefer OEM products and wanted to make sure it was from Verizon as I have the Verizon phone so I know it will be true OEM and work flawlessly...

Desk Dock

Any suggestions for a desk dock? I'd really like usb 3 support since charging from usb it's so slow to begin with. I checked out Amazon, but everything looked really crappy. Sync would be nice, but I'm mainly using it for charging. I'm not using any cases or covers. Thanks all!

The OEM desk dock works great for me. It doesn't sync but has USB 3.0 connections and chatted very fast. It has a stereo speaker jack too.

I have one by victsing.com (I can't post links yet :/)
It's supposed to be able to connect via 3.0, but mine doesn't :/ that's not exactly the worst thing in the world for me. The dock itself is small and connects via a USB 3.0 cable (I just use my original samsung one) the dock also has a slot for an extra battery so you can charge a second battery while you're using your phone on it. It's a solid dock for $13ish.

I just bought this Qi charger from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H5FX1WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also I bought this charger when it was 50% off so the price was not as bad.
