Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

yup yup...
n810 got it nice with sound ...
I tend to use my n800's though ...instead ...for audio and film..
since the quality I find is better..louder...with the l/r speakers on the front of the device facing the viewer who is watching or listening...than my n810's l/r speakers on the sides...

Just a pity that in designing the n810 ...
Nokia didn't take ALL the n800's best qualities and dump them in the n810 accordingly...

woulda-shoulda-coulda....

have to wait and see what chen is up to with his revisionist work ...

Hello,
sorry for my delay, but pictures must be resized to upload here.

This is my sandwich try with modelling/prototype foam.
After it cured I cut off the exceeding part.
Unfortunately drying it shrink and fall apart.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

This is how it appear after the first trimming.
Later I try to add some super-glue (cyanoacrylate) to increase rigidity, but the super-glue curing process release heat that shrunk more the foam.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

This was the piece separated.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

Later I cut it to obtain the most possible space in it.
Since it shrunk I cut it in several parts to fill it with some pieces of paper to expand it.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

I tried also hot-glue, it was unsatisfactory too..

This picture was with hot-glue, and it shows the components: a large Samsung battery in parallel to one N900 compatible battery.
I keep just one battery circuit.

I add a charging module together a contact less charger.
This last worked not as I expect, since the original cover is too much thick.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

Here a detail of the contact less charging coil.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

All this tries came out from my worn micro USB connector (it was charging some times, and other not).

Therefore I use this external coil setup on an old cover adapted for the use.
It works well, better that the sandwich setup (the sandwich/spacer solution has some problems with the camera open/close activation, tunnel view to the camera, and I was obligated to add a magnet to enable MMC recognition).

Of course the coil is visible because I extracted it for demonstration purposes.

Re: Oversize me! (battery thread)
 

Since, the wireless charging I used was slow, inefficient and tricky in the positioning of the phone, I switched to another solution (see my last picture. This solution uses magnetic micro-USB plugs (WSKEN brand, you can found it on ebay). I like how they works and I have them in my car, at home and work. This is my definitive solution to USB wearing and short battery duration.

On request I can add more details or pictures.
I hope it is useful to somebody.
