Mods: Please put this in the most appropriate forum. I couldn't decide which one fit best.
I'm dying to finish the Palm Touchstone inductive charging mod on this phone. I have the magnets in place and they hold the GN to the Touchstone in my car perfectly but I'm just plugging the USB cable in for power. Not as cool or convenient as inductive charging.
I could inject the power to the pins on the USB port like I did with my Fascinates, but that requires delicate soldering and if I mess up, it's not like I can find an used GN for $100 on Craigslist. A better approach would be to use the 3 charging pins on the side. They are very easily accessed with very little tear down. They offer a large enough surface area that the mod could be done by using conductive copper tape thus eliminating the need for soldering altogether and making the mod completely reversible.
Does anyone know which pin is used to charge the phone and which pin is the ground?
