Inductive charging for the Rezound

**skyjjc** · 10-24-2011, 04:25 AM

Anyone know if the Rezound will support inductive charging?

I saw a comment on one and only one of the review sites that said it did but with no details....would the capability require a new door as on the TBolt or would it be built in? Would the door be available at release or would you have to wait a few months like on the TBolt. I saw a video animation about SIM card install for the Rezound and couldn't make out any connector pads for an inductive charging door like the TBolt uses.

I use inductive charging on my TBolt and I love it....actually removed the extended battery setup and replaced it with the standard battery and the inductive charge door...lighter, smaller than the extended battery setup and really easy to set it down on a charging pad throughout the day....the battery lasts forever...

I would have to think long and hard before I would decide to get a phone without that capability.

Looks like yes, it will support inductive charging.

Attachment from FCC site..

Does anyone know if the Touchstone can be used with this setup? If so, I could buy a Rezound and the inductive cover and use the 2 Touchstones I already own.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

I saw in one of the unboxing video that the rezound has the inductive back cover built in from factory.

I watched that last night and he said earlier that it had the inductive charging cover, but then later he backpeddled and said he'd have to confirm that. So we don't know 100% that the stock cover indeed has inductive charging. I would be really surprised if they did, since I cannot think of one phone that came with it out of the box. Even the Palm phones had it only as an option. Plus, beings that it's a Verizon phone, you can bet they're gonna squeeze every penny out of it they can.

Now that I think about it, the thunderbolt and Inc 2 also had some antennas in the back cover. I think it's the same with the Rezound.

Yes it comes with inductive charging. And the phone comes with the its own inductive door

I tested my Rezound (with standard back) on our inductive charger and it does not charge. I believe, as with most other phones, that you'll need to buy the inductive back separately.

**katmann2005** · 11-12-2011, 03:35 PM

I am also using induction charging on my TB..love it! what induction pad are you using..the LG one? my phone gets really warm if I leave it on the pad all night...like it is not shutting off when the battery is fully charged??? does yours get very warm after a couple hours? There is nothing on the induction pad to indicate that it shuts off when the battery is full..so I assume the battery must shut itself off to prevent overcharging if left on the pad for too long?? thanks!

Received my inductive charging cover for the rezound today. It works great.

The cover is available from the Verizon website.

I dont see it on thier site (found)

Hmm maybe i'll cannibalize my Pre Pluses and put inductive charging in if it'll fit lol

**skyjjc** · 11-24-2011, 02:13 PM

If you sort the accessories by device (rezound) it should be there, at least thats where I found it.

Inductive charging performance update....

With my thunderbolt inductive charging, I used two different charging pads, the single station pad from verizon and the dual station QI pad from Energizer. Both worked well with the thunderbolt including when a silicon case was installed on the Thunderbolt.

The Rezound also works well with both charging pads with one exception. The rezound will not charge on the energizer pad when a silicon case installed on the Rezound while its charges fine on the Verizon pad.

The Rezound works fine with both charging pads if a silicon case is not installed on the Rezound.

Thanks for the update. Ending all the speculation about the OEM door having it...ah well. It's something I looked forward to but can live with just the extended battery for now.

**major payne** · 11-25-2011, 12:21 PM

i wonder if the touchstones will charge it i have like 3-4 of them

That's my wondering too, I have a pre+ and just now upgraded to the rezound

I have about 6 TS's laying around.

Also on the inductive charger, does it have the cutout for the extended battery or OEM only?

**skyjjc** · 11-25-2011, 06:00 PM

Standard battery only, wont fit the extended battery. Works fine if you set it on a charging pad whenever your around one...battery lasts forever.

If I'm going on a trip I put the extended battery in since I dont want ot pack the charging pads.

What is inductive charging?

How do I use it?

it will work if you hack the phone, someone did it on his Evo, probably similar for the Rezound.

it's "wireless" charging. basically, you have a mat of sorts plugged into the wall charger. your phone with the optional inductive back cover can be charged simply by placing the phone on the mat, you do not need to plug any cables to the phone to charge it with this setup

That sounds great. Are there any suggested chargers for the rezound? And do I need to buy a special cover or not? (there seems to be some confusion about that in this thread)

I've got the inductive back cover for the HTC Rezound on order for Tuesday delivery. The Verizon store didn't have one in stock but they're mailing it to me. They had no insight on which inductive charger pad I should use. I'd like to try a Pre Touchstone but am not sure about where the magnets are located on the Touchstone or how they'd align with the Rezound inductive cover. I know someone with a Touchstone and will give it a try.

yes, you need to buy the inductive cover as well as the wireless charging pad

If that doesn't work, just go to and search for "HTC6425-WLDR" for the back and " UNIWRLCHG" for the pad. For the pad, you can also buy any "Qi" inductive charging pad such as the Energizer pad.

No, you can't use the Touchstone with the ReZound cover. If you wish to use the Touchstone, you'd have to modify the phone similar to what this person did on his Evo.
