Can I charge a m5 10.8 (cmr-w09) through the 3 pogo pads on the bottom edge of the tablet. If so what is the pin out of the three pads?
The usb c port has given up, and looking for a way to charge it whilst I wait for a replacement to arrive.
Thanks, Roger

Hey all,
I have tried powering my dock with the Samsung wall charger (The square black one) that came with the phone, if I direct connect the USB cable to my phone, it fast charges but if I connect via my Hyperion dock it slow charges.
Before I start damaging the dock, is there a way to force fast charging without shorting pins?
Thanks!
It might be the pin configuration in the dock considering it has to also double as a USB dock....

Tried 2 different power sources. The OE that shipped that states 1.5A and an HP Touchpad one that states 2.0A. Plugged directly into the phone, the Hyperion only sends 453mah whereas the HP sends 1003mah of charge. Plugged both into the dock and the 453 is what comes out to the phone. Even while charging the extra battery only 453mah output. So it seems like the dock is to blame.... :-(

The easiest way to do what you want without making a change in your docking is to get one of those short usb standard jack to standard socket. They are like a little extension that mainly come bundled with thumbdrives so they are easy to connect to crammed USB ports. You can open that extension (don't snip it) along the cable to exposed d the inside conductor wires. You will have 5 conductors, the shield (either a silver braided sleeve or a plastic like silver sleeve), red (+5), black (volt gnd), green (-data) and white (+data) (sometimes they replace the white for yellow). After exposing the conductors peel a little bit of the two data cables, short them together (don't snip them), put some black electrical tape around them to shield them then do the same for the larger cut you did. When you connect this cable to your charger then to the docking the two data cables short will signal the phone to go on fast charging. Make sure you do have a charger rated for at least 1.5 amps. Don't use this cable if you are doing anything that requires communication with the phone as this will not allow any data to flow to the phone. Use only when fast charging is required.

You can also look for a USB cable that has tabs holding the connector ends together. These are easier to work with, even if you're using a micro-USB cable. Pop the tabs with a needle and separate the two halfs of the plastic casing. The wires are already separated and soldered to the connector. You can short the wires there and reconnect the two plastic halfs.
Guys I lost my Gear's charger, not the cradle. Until I buy a original charger I will use a secondary charger. But for this I need to know the output of charger. Please, anyone could help me? REGARDS
Given the Gear S w/ cradle only has 300mah + 300mah battery to charge, any cell phone charger with microUSB will work. Even a PC USB port should work. I didn't even bother take the original AC charger out of the box. Using my alarm clock's USB port for charging every day even when it is totally dead without problem. So, anything with a USB port will work. You don't need to buy the original AC adapter.
Does anyone know how the charging pins on the Gear S are configured?
You guys got a charging cord and adapter?

.....but could you theoretically or actually damage the cradle charger (or less likely i guess, the device itself) if you connected it to a charger with too high an output ?
eg i heard conflicting reports about whether it was safe to use the "wrong" charger for my various MacBooks - these might have anything from 45 - 65 -85w output etc - if i left the proper charger at work could i use any charger lying around at home with the same "magsafe" connecter ?
I was told don't do that versus don't worry the device will only draw the current it needs

No. USB chargers output the same voltage (5V) and varies in current output capability. The adapter won't/can't output more current than the other end (your cradle) requested for. The only time it won't work is if your device need more amperage for charging and the adapter can't supply that much, e.g. a lot of cell phones requires 1000+ ma of amperage for charging but a lot of generic USB chargers can only output 500ma. This results in not able to charge when battery is almost dead.
As mentioned above, the watch has a tiny battery and only requires very little current for charging.
The official AC adapter for watch is labeled 5V 700ma.
Foxbat thx to the answers!

The wall wart for the Gear S says 5vdc at 0.7 amps. I have used other chargers though, computer usb comes to mind, just use a usb to micro usb cable.
I have a meter, and can check the pins for power on the cradle, if that would help.

Looking at the pins with them at the bottom of the cradle, micro USB on the right counting 12345
Pin 1 is +5 volts DC
Pin 4 is Negative ground
Pretty darn sure, measured it about 5 times and every other way possible. Same result every time.
If you were looking at the back of the watch then counting the pads 12345
pad 2 is Negative
Pad 5 is 5 volts DC
edited to add pad configuration

As this thread helped me when I missed my cradle for charging, I uploaded a photo for clarification.
The pads at the back of the watch are counted 12345 from left to rigth when holding the watch with SAMSUNG bottom side and SIM card slot on top. See attached jpg.
To avoid electrical damage to the watch, I put some transparent tape over the pads first. Then I carefully scratched little holes through the tape for pad 2 and 5.
Then I was able to charge the Gear S just with holding red and black wires from an old cutted USB cable on these pads (black 2 and red 5).
Next step would be to find a clever way for fixing the tiny wires on these micro pad spots while charging.
I tried with a clothespin and it took ages until it finally stayed fixed. Had to take watch out of the wrist band for this.
Fixing with tape didn't work at all.

You guys mention "mini USB" on the charger cable. My Gear Fit2 came with the cradle hard wired and USB plug in. Are there various charge cradle options for the Fit2?
Pins pictures.
Calinormy you saved my gear S thanks.
As the Huawei mate 10 pro has no wireless charging i've been looking for qi recievers for USB-C. Plenty of them. But i still haven't found what i am looking for(nice title for a song). One time i want wireless charging the other time i want charging by cable. Of course i can pull out the plug of the receiver but after a while this will definitely be broken and is also not handy when carrying the phone in the pocket. What i am looking for is a qi receiver wich is connected to the USB C port but also have an entrance for an USB -C Cable. Anyone knows if this exists?
I was once looking for a iPhone solution that didn't involved a thick case, and I came with the answer that a simple pass-through is not possible, some protetiction and routing circuit is needed...
So maybe aim for a case? But I also couldn't find anything.
So....
hey there, this is exactly what I am too looking for a qi coil that can be neatly tucked between the phone and the eternal protective case and has a usb c port which is also female so it can take in the usb charging without having to take anything apart, I imagine it to be not to difficult of a think if one had the parts to just modify something in existence. eg usb c and usb -c (female). If anyone finds anything, drop a shout!
Has anybody found a good Qi wireless charging receiver for the Tab S3?
The S3 is a fairly large tablet with a USB-C connector which is (unfortunately) located slightly off center toward the right (top) edge where the power/volume buttons are placed. In order to use a Qi charging stand, it would be best if a Qi receiver pad could be placed on the back, slightly toward the left edge (near the pogo pin connector), so that the tablet could sit sideways on the charging stand with the power/volume buttons facing up.
This means we need a Qi receiver with a long USB-C connector. A typical Qi pad is about 8 cm long so we'd need one with about 7 cm of cable just to get the coil in the center of the Tab S3 and even then it might be too close to the top edge to align with a charging stand while the tablet is sideways. Most of the Qi receivers I've found only have about 2 cm of cable at most.
My Tab will sit vertically on my charging stands but it's not very stable and again, with the USB-C port off center, the coils might not align.
Alternatively, it might be possible to hack a standard Qi receiver to connect to the pogo pin connector on the side of the Tab S3.
[I've tried all sorts of tricks to resize this image down to something reasonable. None of them worked. Sorry.]
I have the same interest to setup QI wireless charging on my Galaxy Tab S4 tablet.
Have you made progress since that initial post ?
I have not found any useful relevant information to resolve this challenge!
Thanks.
Go get one of these:
Qi Adapter
Plug it into your charge port, and just use a sticker or electrical tape to stick it to the back of the device, then slap that bad boy back in its case.
Your Nord will now charge on any wireless charging mat.
I suggest Spigen cases, but that's just me.
whats the charge speed since it takes your usbc port
