I have a broken Samsung Galaxy Vibrant, which has a broken digitizer and broken mini USB port. I'm trying to use as a radio station streamer at my work place.
I have tried replacing the USB port, but I have messed up the traces, they were very tiny and they lifted very easily.
Now, I'm left with only the battery connectors, to work with.
How could I power the phone in this situation?
Can I used the original 1A/5V USB power supply and get somehow 3.7V out of it and solder two wires to the positive and negative contacts of the battery?
If yes, how ca I get 3.7V out of 5V? Maybe using two diodes in series?
Any input would be appreciated.
