If you have used a Palm Pre before switching to the new HTC EVO 4G, I’m sure you will be missing the Palm TouchStone inductive charger that so easily allowed Pre users to drop-and-charge their smartphones. HTC EVO 4G is an impressive unit though the battery life is known to hardly last a day. Consequently, if you are looking for a way to wirelessly charge your EVO as often as required, here is some solace coming your way.
Hacker InfiniteMods has released a video where he explains the process of dismantling the inductive coil from a Palm Pre and attaching it to the right points on HTC EVO 4G. A few more setup later, you can start charging your HTC handset wirelessly.
It is not perfect though. The inductive coil is learned to misalign the digital compass on EVO besides making it difficult to close the casing perfectly. But point is, it can be done and a tutorial is soon on the way.
Check out the video until then
