Heh looks good!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Great idea, now it will be easier to follow some of these threads rather than looking for them all individually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robpol86:
I don't think this warrants its own thread so I'll stick it in here.

I was tired of my VZW Gnex slipperiness (I came from a Droid1) and I stumbled across this youtube.

I sprayed on a few clear coats of Plasti Dip on my battery cover and now it's really grippy. It also peels right off if I ever get tired of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I suppose we can start a tips & tricks section with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Updates....

Are there any accessories you would like to see, but don't exist, that idle hands could be working on, list them up here. Hopefully projects can collaborate and inspire one another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Bump for coolness... Also pm'ing for a sticky.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Thank you, good Sir Chopper.

Updates and some reorganization. I also have some more of my own projects in the works...stay tuned.

Thread stuck at Step666's suggestion
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Awesome! Note to self, don't pm the mod I asked 3 1/2 days ago again :p

good day.

I like the nice thread of all the stuff i might buy a car and desk dock :D

One thing i would like to work on is a case probaly an inexensive TPU case some how incorporate a fan in to it to keep the phone nice and cool when charging and working it to the bone.

I saw some special casing for a tablet that you can fit stuff into on youtube, maybe i could make my own. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I know there are usb powered fans like this and this. That's the easy part. The hard part will be making a heatsink for it to blow across. Just blowing on the back cover wont help much unless its a metal (thermally conductive) cover. But I'll roll it around my noggin' to see what I come up with...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
OP here's a new USB charging dock llennium modified from the Nexus S desk dock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Yupdates! A special one from me too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I periodically seach for "Gnex + DIY" for new material for the workshop. Sometimes, I come across **** like http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-Bling-Diamond-Rabbit-Mirror-Hard-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/280915422107 . Thoughts?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmxda:
That doesn't belong here :eek:

P.S. Great job on the thread :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nahek:
This saved me hours of search. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
I must say it's an honor to have my DIY dock included in this sticky. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
No prob. Without builders making the content, this would just be a catalog of....nuthin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Gentlemen! Lay down your soldering irons for a second and lend me your ears:

I'm of the opinion that DIY should include replacing internal components with OEM (or aftermarket) parts.

Sure, a new battery takes no skill, but I doubt any of us could built our own OMAP processor or digitizer.

I am therefore turning post #2 of the thread into a parts order reference link farm, on the odd chance we ever fry a motherboard.

What say you? If you have any experience with ordering from a website or know where to source a rare component, let me know.

Back to work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dieezus:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ameer925:
thanks or this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
And thank you too. I know how hard it is to find stuff when you are just diving into the smartphone pool. Please use the thanks button too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I came across this link in an old lifehacker post and while it is for an iphone this would look pretty neat with some pogo pins instead.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Thanks for the pointer!

Oh BTW, updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Ok after trying to mod the car dock i am unable to get the volume down rocker to work :( vokume up works fine, how much do i wittle away?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Assuming you mean you are trying to shoehorn a VZW into the GSM car dock...

Also assuming you watched the video in the first post...

The video pretty much explains it.

I haven't done the mod, as I built my own pogo dock, but maybe contact some or those in the official thread that have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Ya i did that and got the volume up working volume down is just being a PITA!! Maybe i need a different tool or sharper knife i was scraping for like 10 min and cant seem to get the volume down working but the volume down works LOL

I will keep working on it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
After more time without my gf being home nagging, i finally got it to work flawlessly with my sprint let nexus, and it works with my extended battery too :)

Also i don't know if this was still an issue with charging via usb speed? but mine charges ac :D

No issues with pogo connection or audio out. :D

Awesome dock and easiest mod ever!! :D

Now i am waiting on my desk dock so i can mod that too :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evolving:
I really didn't search real hard,and maybe I'm just being cheap but what about an external battery charger diy style??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
This is the closet anyone has gotten. I think you need a charging circuit to hold a certain voltage over the 3.7 VDC to safely charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evolving:
Ok .yea I had seen that a while back.question, is it as simple as putting a hot wire(red) and a ground to the + and - prong and it will charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I don't think so. Pretty sure that you to hold a certain half VDC margin above the depleted battery voltage and some way to recognize when it is no longer accepting a charge and cut it off. An even smarter charger would have the brains to keep it topped off over time. Sometimes temperature even comes into play. See this info on Li-ion battery charging.

That said, some of the cheap knock off batteries on Amazon come with chargers, also cheap. The circuit must not be too complex. Maybe someone will be willing to pop open their external charger for a peek pic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evolving:
Thank u sir for that..and yea that would be interesting to see
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttabbal:
You really need an IC for lipo charging. Here's a really simple one... https://www.sparkfun.com/products/674

Just noticed my battery thread made the sticky. :D Thanks for the mention. I hope someone got some use out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoshiFan501:
here is something i found

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Thats pretty cool, I am sure someone could find some use for that for a DIY project.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Definitely, adding now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
More updates than you can shake a stick at!
