Just thought I would show you what I made to use on my desk or in car,
This week I sold my Hero thinking my new phone would be sent when the ebayer said i.e the next day! I am still waiting 5 days on!
1) I removed the battery from the back cover.
2) Cut a hole in the corner for usb lead to come out
3) stripped the usb wire at female end.
4) soldered the red positive wire to the first pin and the second black negative wire to the 4th pin.
5) Glued the usb lead into the phone with a hot glue gun and now i never have to charge as its always on..
and whalah

So, I got bored of waiting for a wireless charging dock and took matters into my own hand. Used:
Nokia DT-900 wireless charger
3 sheets of cardstock
Glue
It doesn't looks too shabby:

Holds the Nexus 7 well:
Side piece can be pulled to the side....
So the Charging pad can be removed/replaced if need be.
Can't wait to get a case in and test it with one on
I should have been more detailed in starting, only the supports were planned out, the rest was done on the fly, but I might try making a blueprint of it in a few days if it stands up so others can make one and just modify the charging port for other Qi chargers.
So my LS980 broke about a month and a half ago and my friend has been helping me fix it, and it seems like every time it's about ready to be finished either it's the wrong part or I need another one.
Right now I have everything put back together but I fear I used either the wrong Digitizer because the connection between the two doesn't match. I do have the D800 Flex Cable installed because oddly enough the LS980 one did not properly make all connections.
Both Flex Cables have the same connections though that's what I don't get, the part where the digitizer connects to the flex cable has 16 pins whereas the cable that comes from the digitizer only has ~10 how are these supposed to connect?

So I just got this phone from eBay four days ago and this green stuff is inside the cable. I have 1 year old and i think she put it in her mouth. How do I remove the green stuff? Do I get a new one? Is something wrong with my phone or can it do something to my phone? Any info greatly appreciated.

That's Corrosion. Your best off just replacing the cable. Similar to rust, It was caused by the saliva from your kid. The cable can be cheaply replaced. Once the phone port has corrosion, You're in a bit more of a pickle. You might be able to clean it with a very fine brush and maybe a solvent like rubbing alcohol. Just make sure it's completely dry before you plug it into the wall or the phone.
Thank for the reply. I will give a try.
Hi, trying to revive an old kindle fire.
I've charged the battery so that it's recognized but my usb port is really busted to the point where the solder pads are completely worn off. There is exactly one site that shows me how to add wireless charging which would be fantastic. The nova-labs post helps, but I can't figure out where to solder the 5V+ and the GND. The image is pretty dark and it seems that
Can anyone tell me where I can solder on this to add my wireless charging?
The nova pictures aren't too clear.

Can someone post a clear picture of where i can solder so that I can get this working?
Thanks!
Well, I was trying to be thrifty by replacing my 5t's battery, but when I got to step 12 in the ifixit guide -- remove the flex connector to the USB-C and headphone port, a chunk of the socket came out with it.
Does anyone know what the name/model of the socket is? I'd be willing to give it a go with a hot air gun and magnifying glass if it saves me having to buy a new phone...

Replace the entire subassembly.
Have the right tools and don't force connectors...
Remember out of circuit subassemblies are suspectable to ESD damage.
Found the connector on Alibaba and replaced it. Back to 100%, charging, data, and audio works.
