Root Wireless charging for Triumph!

[Lobster]

Was the Motorola Triumph wireless charging ready? Remove the back cover, you find two gold contacts to the left of the battery. All other wireless charging enabled phones have these exact contacts for negative and positive, so was the Triumph gonna be a phone with a ton of accessories but then left uncared for afterwards? It seems like the only way to find out is to run a charge onto those two contacts, I would love to volunteer but I don't know which is negative and which is positive which does matter. If anyone has a way of checking which is which, I'd love to do it and end my doubts whether it was for wireless charging or not. If it was, damn this phone was cool for it's time! With HDMI and wireless charging. If not, oh well.

If they were closer together then I could tell you but idk.Only guess is if it is then the one near the charger port side is positive and the one closer to the camera is negative.If it was for wireless charging then wouldn't all of the contacts be the same?

That's the thing, I don't know, the only thing I know is that they are connected to it's motherboard which can indicate something, tomorrow I'm gonna look up the stock charger's specs to see if I can replicate that electricity using two split wires connected to the contacts. If it does have wireless charging, I guess it's kinda pointless now to find out, but really cool to think about, lets hope they weren't some type of ground and I'm not forcing back electricity into the mobo!

Sorry, they're grounding points for the battery cover (You can see where they make contact if you examine the inside of the battery cover.) I checked with a meter and all six of the contacts sticking up are connected directly to the chassis (ground).

So, not wireless charging points. As cool as it seemed two years ago, this was just not that high end of a phone.

Also, see this thread, in particular post #7.

I would recommend against randomly connecting power to stuff, unless you are willing to very possibly sacrifice:
A. the device
B. the power supply

Just an fyi... one thing nice about usb it's that it's standard. Always 5v within a quarter volt tolerance. The variable is how much current a given device will draw, up to about 1amp max (1000ma). So, a plug in the wall usb charger rated at 150ma would probably take forever to charge your phone, and may not attain a full charge at all, unless the phone was turned off.

Ah that was my second though, thanks for clarifying!

Just confirming.

They're connected to nothing on the motherboard
