[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
One thing I would recommend is cutting out an area at the bottom of the phone so that you COULD attach a USB, OTG, or MHL cable if need-be. Perhaps that side of the dock could be shaped like a B, or notched to also allow access to the headphone port.

I would also maybe split out the power connection to a microUSB port to power MHL or other accessories. Or maybe just wire up a fullsize female USB to power another unit such as a bluetooth headset or whatever. It just would be nice to have a powered USB port just in case.

To the guy above, sure it may not look perfect but a coat of paint would spruce it up very well.

Overall A+

I might try my hand at something like this. I'm a cheap ass when it comes to buying crap for phones (since I go through them often). I have all the materials already with the exception of spare guitar strings but the paperclip idea sounds great and can be bent to size. I have some Poplar wood in my basement that would even look good with a heavy clear coat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I am thinking of attempting this as well. Except I dont have the wood to spare for this, so I am trying to look for a generic stand on ebay that would be possible to modify to fit at the least the pogo pins and at the most everything you mentioned. Because it would be a MHL adapter built in and ready to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wookaru:
Nice Job! Very creative use of guitar strings in lieu of pogo pins! I might have to try something like this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuckdz3:
I'm looking for something generic too, something that came to my mind was some kind of business card holder. Just a thought I'd throw out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
Make it out of Lego blocks! Dunno how you would keep the pins in place though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Munchys:
DUCT TAPE! (j/k) Gorrilla glue/super glue will work if you drill a small enough of a hole.

Or even some kind of poxy to hold it there. I might have to run to the Lego Store at the Mall of America to go buy me some Legos to build me a stand! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adam6806:
Lol! Soo tempting to make a duct tape stand HA! I so totally need to restring my guitar and I already have some new strings.... (yells at wife) HONEY WHERE'S THE DUCT TAPE!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
For those looking for generic stands, I saw some on ebay that were just acrylic kinda in an "S" shape sort of deal that looked like could hold the nexus fully and was pretty modifiable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
Although than running a particular rom, has anyone found a way to get the GNex in to landscape mode while on a dock? I did a quick search and didn't find anything. On my D1 I used a magnet placed in a particular spot to force it into dock mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
The only thing I can think of is getting a launcher that rotates when you hold it in landscape mode.

That is pretty cool that the D1 just needs a magnet to get it in dock mode which lets you use pretty much anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rotus8:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
Need some help with some questions... Do the pogo pins push in on the dots on the phone, or the opposite? Just trying to think if my idea will work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
@Chopper the Dog awesome ingenuity! This thread ALSO belongs on lifehackers ' website! Well done bro!:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rotus8:
The "dots" (contacts) on the phone are fixed. The pogo pins need to have some springiness so they maintain the connection. Think of the springy bit at the bottom of a pogo stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoppermi:
chopperthedog, have you noticed any corrosion, either on your phone contacts or the guitar string from using dissimilar materials?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
I thought of this too... I am planning on putting something like this together this weekend. If I find anything, I will report back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ganj_420:
Does being connected to the pogo pins keep the display on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
The string that was used is stainless steel. Just looked with a loop and don't see anything.

No. It still uses the time out setting.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeAndroid:
Great Idea!

Chopper! Nice job!

The only issue I see here is the live wires you have fully exposed. If you touch them both at the same time does it arc? My only fear is accidently touching them at night with my fingers. I'll be fumbling around in the dark trying to put my phone to sleep and get a nice shock.

If I did this I would also use hot glue and heat shrink to get rid of most of that exposed wire behind and below the dock.

And I know you have access to some black spray paint. Common man, you've gotten this far!

How about something soft to line the dock with? Like a black Eyeglasses cleaner fabric (they sell em at the dollar store). You could glue it down with hot glue. The idea is to keep it from getting nicked and scratched from in and out of the wood.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paazei:
Try licking your usb ;) voltage is way too low to do anything dangerous.

Nice dock btw, i would like to cnc a solid one if i had the tools...

Great to see you take initiative when samsung lets us down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
In an attempt to over simplifying this, is it just a matter of being able to keep the wires that come out of the wall outlet in place to where the pogo pins are so it can charge that way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chidychi:
Yes.

(the pogo pins by default require 5V @500mA which is the same as the USB cable)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paazei:
Dude, are you serious...?

Offcoarse you dont plug your phone directly into a wall socket, you fry it within miliseconds...

Maybe finish preschool before attempting to mess with electricity!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
wouldn't the third pin be for grounding, thus removing the chance of short circuiting your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
No
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Honest mistake! I looked through the images in the first post first, without reading what he had written, and I thought he was using some cables coming out of the wall and not a usb port which was why I was suspicious about his methods and what could be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acr89:
I like the dock. Is there an actual risk of damaging the micro usb port on these phones? I mean are they any more fragile than any other phone out there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfern002:
I was hoping to make my own dock which uses actual pogo pin connectors on it. does anyone know the exact type of pogo pins required to make contact with the GNex's pins? i was looking on digikey and there seems to be quite a few to choose from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
You are looking for pogo pins with a pitch of 3mm. That is the distance between the pins. Try:

http://www.yokowoconnector.com/productline/pin3_3.html

I just ordered some for my car dock and they fit really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alienski:
Which type# of those exactly did you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
I got the 3614 and 3413 models. Both of them the "h" serial model number not the "b" ones. He sent free samples, but shipped them overnight and charged my fedex account so you might want to work out shipping charges first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrylhadfield:
If I'm understanding correctly, you purchased either #3614 or #3413... in a previous post you referenced that you bought it fr your car dock. Are you rolling your own solution, like what the other gentleman did (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493797) ?

I'm curious what results you've gotten so far.. Debating buying a verizon car dock and modifying it myself, but want clarity on parts before I go ahead.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
I actually got samples of each. He sent them for free but charged for shipping. I was doing the same thing for the car dock as the thread you referenced above. It turned out ok. I actually decided instead to do the touchstone mod and love it. Plus it is a lot cheaper to do. The time and money you spend buying a verizon dock and pogo pins and cables and modifying it, the touchstone is a better option in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrylhadfield:
Forgive my ignorance, but... Touchstone mod? Last time I explored the Touchstone technology, it was basically a "drop it on the pad and it charges" - there was no dock involved. Curious what exactly that is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
Well there isn't any mod to the Touchstone, but you have to mod your phone so it can charge off of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrylhadfield:
Details, plans, pics, links... INFO! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...us-mod-palm-touchstone-without-soldering.html

The mod was probably the best decision I've made with a phone lately. Touchstones are so cheap now that I have four: One at my work office, one on my desk at home, one on my nightstand, and one in my car. It just makes charging so convenient and cool that it's crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
I think I will have to credit Knolly for this one, he is the one who led me to this mod. I now have different bases also and can use extra magnets, like in the link he posted, for a strong car mount. My wife just got a new GPS unit for her car so I'll be using the old windshield adapter to make an adjustable car dock for it. Can't wait. I just feel bad spending all the time and money on the other stuff. Sorry to derail the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
lol, sall good. Not a very important thread to begin with.

Carry on.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] En4c3r:
Oh, but it was and is still a good thread. I learned quite a bit about the pogo pins and charging here. I love to see different ideas and gather all the information. I think that is what is so good about this forum, us helping each other out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Hmm neat idea, perhaps I might make one for myself, I have been toying with ideas of a landscape and portrait docks that utilize the pogo pins in my head and this might be the kicker I need to make it happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
After reading some of the posts here, is it ok to plug the USB cable into the AC adapter that comes with the phone?

And which USB cable to use?

I realized some cable have non standard color coding.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
I don't understand what you're talking about. Do you mean a USB cable that you've connected to pogo pins on one end? If so, then yes, the power out of the AC adapter that came with the phone will work.

Any kind of cable will do. Standard or non-standard color coding doesn't matter if you have a multimeter that allows you to test which wire is pin 1 and which is pin 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Alright, i got my answer:)

Frankly speaking, i don't really know what i typed, it's late in the night when i typed that so..:p

*I completed my dock, it's working now:)*

This is awesome! Honestly, I appreciate something like this way more if I spend the time to make it myself rather than buying it. I'm planning to make my own this weekend. If things go well, I'll post some pictures :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfern002:
To those who ordered the pogo pins:

Does your phone have a case on it? And can the pins make proper contact with the phone with the case on?

I have the Diztronic case, and am debating on whether to get the two types listed earlier in the thread, or to get the larger ones listed on yokowo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
You could make the pogo pins sit like mine.:)

Looks great! Very similar to what i was thinking of doing. Unfortunately I'm having trouble nailing down a supplier that is willing to give me samples of their 3-pin banks. Since i don't want to purchase 1000 units, I think ill have to buy the individual pins and set them up myself :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Setting up the pins yourself is a real pain ... unless you have a drill press (which I don't). I took half the day today to get them lined up ... now they're all parallel but at the same slight @#$#@ angle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
It's the battery connector of my old Sony Ericsson K770i:D

Doesn't sound fun, but think that might be my only option :(

Let me know what your response is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
He said their all gone but seeing as this will be my part of my future job I will probably do this over the summer maybe modifying my Droid charge media dock

by me, for me and I love you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Two tips if you're setting up your own pins.

(1) line them up on some electrical tape and fold the tape around them while you solder them.

(2) Go the extra mile and drill 3mm spaced holes in the PCB you're using and add some steel wire for extra hold. My pins kept coming off with the copper pads without the steel wire.

I just finished my own dock and took pictures. Will post them soon here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679381

Try Painting the Wood Black ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecsk:
can I ask a silly question :o, which is pin# 1 ? the one close to the phone usb port or the one close to camera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
The pin nearest to the usb port is positive and nearest to the camera is negative. For charging only purposes the middle pin is unused.

I still have been using this thing (unpainted :p ) every night since I built it. Last time I have used the usb port was in may to upgrade my recovery.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crazykidguy:
I'm new to the Android OS and I had just transferred from using an iPhone for about a year or two. I was very happy with my Samsung Galaxy S 4G when I got it but after using it for about a week I noticed a significant amount of lag. I probably downloaded only about 4-5 apps within a week and the problems included:

- lag when I press the home button and loading the home screens

- apps taking long to load/ won't load/ totally crashing and I have to manually restart the phone

- late response whenever I press the 'back' button during texts

- fail to send texts at times (the length of the text didn't really matter. some were long and some were short. I haven't tried to send a picture SMS yet.)

Since I'm new and I really wanted to give the Android OS a try, I want to learn about rooting and most importantly a way to fix the lag on my new phone.

Phone Information:

- Model Number: SGH-T959V

- Firmware: 2.3.6

- Baseband: T959VUVKJ6

- Kernel: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130

- Build: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6

I would really appreciate it if someone would direct me to a clear, specific way to root and fix the lag on my phone (mainly to fix the lag issue but I'm sure I would have to have it rooted first). I've tried looking on this forum and RootWiki but there is just so many different things that I'm reading (i.e. flash, ext4, CMW) and I don't want to mess up my new phone. Also please excuse me if this is a re-post of any sort.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
This will get you there. Click here. Since you are already on GB start where it says "I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6) now what:"

Once you go through it... and have CWM and a custom ROM (which will take care a lot of the lag) you can go a step further and flash one of the tweaks in the DEV section through CWM.

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Hey guys!

I have you, an official version of Motoblur w/Android 4.0.4 (my creation!)

Just to play it safe, I really want to avoid everything I am saying below:

1. DO NOT argue or discuss the liability or credibility of this rom.

The DROID 3's current version is [Advanced Beta #1 -- 6.9.888] and the DROID BIONIC is on [Beta #2 -- 2.4.742].

XT860 Users: http://bit.ly/IB1Xeb

XT862 Users: http://bit.ly/HPcamq

NOTE: If coming from ANY PREVIOUS RELEASE, A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED!

Format your system, format your data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache!

KEEP IN MIND: The first boot will take about 2 or 3 minutes. It will speed up more. Also note that the boot animation is considerably slow but it will progressively speed up while it boots. You will know it boots up when your capacitive lights come on.

What doesn't work:

Video Recording on the camera

Panorama Mode on the camera

HW Codecs aren't working

__________________________________________________ ________________

Changelog for Advanced Beta #1:

1. Updated icon set for most apps from DROID RAZR ICS Leak

2. Some other things added from Razr ICS Leak (won't be noticed probably)

3. Physical Keyboard fix

4.

GOOGLE APPS ARE INCLUDED: DO NOT FLASH GOOGLE APPS

5. XT860 Data fix

6. Updated AOKP Base

7. Rotation issues should be fixed

8. Other small bug fixes

9. Added Motoblur ICS Launcher (from DROID RAZR ICS Leak)

10. Added Google Play Store version 3.5.15 (will update to .16)

11. Added Volume+ v1.9 beta

12. Added Root Explorer

13. More Launcher choices (Apex, 2 RAZR ICS Launchers, Launcher2)
