[Question] Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120L) Wireless Charging - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i just found this old phone while cleaning up some stuff. My sister brought this from Korea a couple years back and left the box and manuals there.
There's like a two gold contacts on the inner face of the back cover which connect to the matching pins on the back of the phone, are these for wireless charging? i saw a pretty similar pins on Galaxy S3's back (but no gold contacts on the cover, so they attach a separate receiver and taped it on to the battery). Does this mean my back cover already has the receiver?
Edit: Those might be for NFC, as seen on the back of galaxy S3/S4, difference is that S3 and S4 have another separate pair of pins for charging while my phone only has a pair. The question now is can i charge my phone through these pins?

I bought another s-view cover but now for our n3n for another 250php($6), this s-view doesn't have IC in it and only works with a given application but we won't need that app anymore with this trick.
I proceeded in placing the IC we removed a while ago from note3's (fake) s-view to note3neo's (also fake) s-view.
And that's it! The fake s-view is now working with our device. It only costed me a total of 500php($12) instead of buying from samsung whick costs around 2000php($45-$46)
Here're some more photos.

Wireless Charging MediaPad X2

I believe this can be done quite easily and cheaply with a wireless receiver attached to the microusb port and stuck to the rear metal exterior shell of the phone. (My phone is then in a case so it would not be seen) . Then place the X2 on a transmitter pad and we should have wireless charging... No more plugging and unplugging .. Anyone like to comment ? ... Not found a suitable supplier of a receiver yet.

What do you think about this case. I cut the speaker hole bigger like the rest of the cases.

Replaced ear speaker and battery, now wifi is weak?

Gday all,
My ear speaker died a few weeks ago so I decided to replaced it and put a new battery in while I had the back open. It all went well and the ear speaker is working now. But since I pulled it apart, wifi strength is terrible. I get 1 bar where I used to get 5. The wifi antenna in printed onto the plastic frame that sits around the battery. I realised that when I replaced the battery a broke off a small component:

}
It was one of these:
Any ideas on what the component is and/or what it does? The two sets of aerial contacts on both sides of the phone just under these two components seem fine. So I'm a bit stumped.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Kobo Arc 10HD Ghost Touch - FIX ?!

I've been using my Arc 10HD as a picture frame for the last few years going all day, plugged in all the time,
and recently I've noticed that the picture slideshow would stop randomly and found out it was ghost touches.
The reason was because the batteries inside started swelling a bit and it was pressing on the screen from the back,
so I took it apart and removed the charging board from in between the 2 battery cells and wired it to regular
rechargeable AA batteries giving me ~ 3.8v each and got it working 100% again ...

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now it's just a matter of ordering new cells, wiring it into the charging board and I should be ok ...
I guess the new cells would have their own charging board, but shouldn't
hurt anything to wire them into the one I salvaged from the unit.
This battery should do, I'll just order 2 of them:

Question Moisture detected ?

I'm nearly sure no water has gotten near this charging port, what happened was I tried to use another charger and it would charge for me, then I put the old charger back in and then this message popped up, iv used a hair dryer for like 5 mins on it, and still showing up
I can remove the message by force closing Android system, then I reset phone, and still the same,
Any clues? Or just wait it out?

Defective brick or cable? Use the one that works.
The Samsung 25w brick/cable are cheap and long lived. Using them makes troubleshooting much easier... I have three, the oldest is will be 4yo in October, still A-OK.
When It happened on my device it was because some dirt or fluff got lodged in. I used straw, in absence of canned air, to blow it out
