[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
Great idea and overall, I like the design. Having the adjustable posts is fantastic for taking into account various case designs/thickness

Some tweaks i can see:

* Make the pogo pin height adjustable. Many cases are of differing thickness and should be taken into account

* The phone should probably be angled somewhat, either make the legs adjustable or have a rotating portion in the baseplate

* Allow for wiring of the middle pogo pin. There is some good info here on how to enable desk dock mode and AC charging through the third/middle Pogo pin without custom kernel/NFC tag. You might want to add the needed wiring/electronics to your design for those who want to add the extra pieces.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Great suggestions.

*I have been thinking about how to easily/simply make the pogo pins adjustable - that's definitely something that's required.

*You can either spread the top-back posts to allow the phone to sit loosely at an angle, or just get longer 'foot' posts for the front of the dock.

*That's a good point. And thanks for the awesome link, that thread is fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Maaan if this goes on kickstarter for a reasonable price I'm in!

Maybe try and figure out how to add audio by the third pin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence.

If it ever does get to that point, I'd probably just sell pre-cut kits for people to put together with a screw driver.

The link Matridom included in his post pretty much gets you half-way to audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Before I saw the underside, I imagined there would be rubber bands between the side retention post pairs to allow for easy placement/removal while keeping tension.

While building my dock I found it was very particular about pogo contact, but once you get it, it stays.

Something to note, since there is no backboard to place an NFC tag on, you will need to manually shift if you want desk dock features. i am digging the simplicity!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Is it possible to toggle my home screen into landscape mode?:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
You have a few options:

You can use a third party launcher like Nova that will auto-rotate to landscape regardless. (No AC charging)

You can use an NFC tag to force the rotation through usage of an app. (no AC charging), adding a custom kernel can allow you to use AC charging when combined with the NFC tag

You can enable the middle pogo pin for proper signalling, allowing you to use the official desk/car dock modes (with AC charging)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Ok, thanks, I'm using Nova Launcher, din't really look around the settings to realise there is a rotation setting:p

A small question for subvertz, maybe Matridom too:)

What's your voltage when you charge your phone using the pogo pins, mine is around 3.822v, lower than USB or wall charger, although i connected the usb cable to my wall charger.

Used this to see the voltage and battery level, but not needed since i flashed AOKP yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
If i read the voltage off the USB cable, i get the 4.95V, this is before connecting it to the phone, I've not checked the voltage during charging. When using the Pogo's, I set it so the phone is AC charging, so it draws full amperage from the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I checked again, seems that it's charging at 4.2v after leaving it to charge for about 30 minutes.

It's charging at AC rate so it's good, thanks:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
OK, my Kensington Powerbolt 12V USB adapter measured at 5.09 VDC with a multimeter.

With phone battery indicating 65% on notication bar, the battery measured 3.87 VDC with multimeter.

Phone test menu indicated 3900 mV when discharging, at 65%

On the car dock charging in USB mode phone test menu indicated 3933 mV.

On the car dock charging in AC mode phone test menu indicated 3931 mV.

I would have guessed forcing AC fast charge would have had a different voltage than USM mode, but no. But it does charge faster somehow. I don't have a good way to see current right now.

Hope this helps....what are you planning?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Hmmmmm, same here, the voltage seems lower than a direct microUSB connection to the wall, but it does charge at AC rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Took a few minutes to get myself back up to 65%.

Started playing with the micro USB from wall AC, got many different voltages.

Unplugged is around 3897 mV.

Plugging in gives anywhere between 3917 and 4120 mV. I think the charging circuit is trying to maintain a certain level over battery voltage to charge, by the phones power use is not steady.

Trying it during a Ti backup right now....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I tried out yesterday night, seems that the battery voltage is lower when the battery level is lower. And the voltage is the same as a direct connection to the wall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Woho! Built it!

So I finally built my design. Of course I had to make some adjustments based on what parts I was able to get, and also the reality of pogo pin alignment ... without a drill press.

I've updated my SketchUp model to reflect how it was built.

And now, without further adieu,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Looking good! How does it work? What do you have the middle pin for? It hard to tell is a case on in the pic? What is that cool little andoid usb thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Looks good, Anyone can take a look at the 3 pin contacts on their gnex?

Mine is slightly depressed in after i use it on the dock.

Maybe my pogo pins are too stiff:p

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Accidentally pressed the thanks button:p

the middle pin is for signaling what kind of dock the nexus is connected to, the side pins is +5v and ground from the usb cable.

Read this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Thanks, it works well - once I finally got the pins lined up (That's what the extra large holes are for - so I can see). I've only connected the two outside pins so far, directly to pins 1 & 4 of the USB connector.

I installed the middle pin for future expandability of the dock features - activating dock mode and AC charging and whatnot.

Yes! I've got my Cruzerlite A2 case on in the picture :D

Hehe, that cool little Android USB thing is my fancy pantsy wall wart. It's called Andru and you can get it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfern002:
can you post what type and size pins you used and from where you got them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
I got the pogo pins from Lee's Electronics in Vancouver for $0.80/ea. Great place to check out if you're ever in the area - they have a lot of useful cool stuff and really support the local maker community.

They're 1mm in Dia., have an open length of 33mm, and a closed length of 26.5mm. I drew them as accurately as I could in my SketchUp model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
New dock design based on what I learned building the first one

Yes, it's only been a day since I posted pics of my dock ... and already I'm working on a better/cleaner/easier/no-drill-press-required version ... with less parts!

Here are images of the new design - what do you think?

I figured, why hide the DIY electronics when you can wear them with pride!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
New design looks awesome and just might have to attempt something like this. Are pogo pins called anything else? I am thinking they have them at Radioshack but cant find them on their online store. Thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
"spring loaded connector" seems to provide a lot of hits on Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Anyone?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
I uploaded a pic of my pogo pins that havent been put in any type of dock and you can see a slight indention. Does yours look about the same or deeper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
NO depressions in the 3 contact on my phone after 3 months of my prongs, but I don't have those pointy pins you are using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aknisley:
Pogo pins

In my automation machine life, pogo pins we used were spring loaded. This makes adjusting height automatic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

v2 Dock Progress

Hi All, sorry for the long wait ... I went on a trip. Here are progress photos of build version 2 of my dock. I need to wait until Saturday to get the remaining electronic parts to complete this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
looks good, better than my dock i say:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
v2 Dock Final (with space for improvements)

As promised, I went and got the electronic bits & finished off v2 of my dock :D

Things I messed up (and will probably fix ... someday):

(1) The springs pushing the pogo pins PCB board against the screw heads were supposed to be around the screws ... I messed up the pilot holes and had to instead solder the (3) springs to the under side of the PCB board. Not happy with that.

(2) I got a female USB connector instead of the male one ... had to cannibalize the v1 dock to make do.

Things of note:

(1) I've got two PCB boards now. This is so additional circuitry can be added later to run the middle pogo pin for activation of the different dock modes + audio out.

(2) I've included DIP switches at the pogo pins so I can still use the dock even when the phone doesn't need to charge.

Pictures:

Setup/Adjustment Process Explanation:

(1) Place phone aligned on Red axis with pogo pins. Adjust pogo pins PCB board screws to align Blue axis.

(2) Adjust Green axis posts.

(3) Adjust Red axis posts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I had the middle pin, but i'm too lazy to make it work..:p

I can wait 9s for the phone to charge though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafeee2:
I've noticed you're using a retractable USB cable. Doesn't that charge slower than a normal cable?

Awesome job by the way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
To sell lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cchant:
I'd buy one if the price is right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Heh, they're actually some extra long nuts that I wrapped in black electrical tape. Worked out well.

It's a Cruzerlite A2 case :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
+1 ... someday though I'll make it work - because it's there!

Thanks. Actually, two things control charge rate: (1) phone mode (2) current capacity of cable. Since the current capacity of the cable shouldn't be an issue it's actually the phone mode that really controls charge speed. That's what the middle pogo pin is for; it tells the phone to either use USB charging mode (500mA) or AC charging mode (1A) ... among other things. And since I'm only charging my phone about once every 3 days, and usually overnight, I don't mind a slow charge at 500mA in USB mode.

Ohhhh ... nah, I bet it could be stamped out of China plastic for 3cents a pop. Someone want to start a Kickstarter project? lol

So would I! Especially if it's shiny spiffy plastic instead of splintery wood. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
And I never really done an actual soldering work, i had my neighbour solder the wires to the pogo pins for me:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Haha, then you can't make fun of my messy soldering :p

I made the middle pogo pin control circuit! Yes, I'm super proud of myself right now :laugh:. It even has a DIP switch selector to allow switching between desk/car dock, USB/AC charging, & audio out on/off modes.

Thanks so much for the sketchup file. I'm still plugging away at my printable version. I just killed part of my printer and am waiting for replacement parts. It takes ages to get stuff here in Norway.

I've been browsing through the fora looking for a schematic that labels the voltages on the pins. Can you confirm that the pogo pin contact closest to the micro usb port is +5V and the one closest to the power button is GND?

Thanks again so much for your help. I will definitely post a link the the finished version and credit the heck out of you when I'm done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Yes, I can confirm "that the pogo pin contact closest to the micro usb port is +5V and the one closest to the power button is GND".

I've finally gotten around to finishing a 3d printable version of your dock. Thanks for the inspiration. It turned out just like I wanted it!

It prints out great (in 3 pieces) and I love how easy it is to accomodate different cases. Though, if I were to use something with larger bumpers, I'd probably need to get longer pogo pins!

Here's a link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:63756

I can't for the life of me get the third pin to work properly and have successfully forced my phone into rebooting whilst playing with the 3 pin circuit. For fear of frying something, I'm just going to stick with USB charging for the time being.

Can anyone suggest a solution for altering the dock behavior other than using the third pin or using something other than the stock kernel? I'm considering switching to Cyanogen or something with OpenPdroid added, but for the moment I'm happy with the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Very cool! I'm glad it turned out so well. I'm surprised you're having issues with the middle pogo pin circuit. Did you use this design?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] txoof:
I did use that design, but I didn't have the same voltage regulator so I used a programable one. I made sure it was set properly (though I can't remember what that voltage was at the moment). I kept resetting the phone as I was trying to get it to work. I eventually gave up because I didn't want to toast anything.

Thanks again for the help. I've started a second dock so I can have one at work too. Hopefully I'll get a better quality on my print bed this time.

I used this site for a while now but just realized they have an app which works just as good as the site. Unlimited free calls but the calls only last two minutes without a paid account. Two minutes is more than enough time to disguise your number on a call or to prank someone. It also lets you change your voice just like on the site. It will also record your calls so you can post your pranks to Facebook.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KTM690:
I was running "TheMIDTeam 1.3" ROM & decided to upgrade to version 1.4 using the so call "safe" method using the "restore" method in CWM. unfortunatly this failed making my phone un bootable but I could still get into "download" mode.

I then thought I'd flash a stock ROM using odin and go from there. I chose the Taiwan N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS ROM. This all went OK & everything seem fine. I then relised this was not the ROM for me as it didn't contain "English Australian" amoungst other things. So I thought, no problem, I'l just flash something else more suitable, but no matter what else I flash with odin I keep getting "Force Close" continually once the phone has booted up. I tried many different ROMS from Gingerbread to ICS & keep getting the "Force Close" error.

I then flashed back the Taiwan ROM & it works fine but I am now stuck with that ROM.

The only difference with the Taiwan ROM that I can see was that it contained not just the PDA file like most ROM's but it had a PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC files. I think this may be where i've gone wrong. Maybe if I could find the stock international versions of all these files I may be able to flash these & get back to stock & start again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The Taiwan ROM that works is a ICS ROM, N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.

I have thought of doing a full wipe via CWM but I'm afarid of the "SuperBrick" issue. In fact I was think maybe there is some coruption in the emmc partition already causing the "Force Close" errors I keep getting
