[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prostheta:
Gotcha, thanks. Yeah, I'm active in that thread also.

From xj220gt's photos of the official Nexus 7 dock, I would say that there are very specifically placed components on the board with the USB port. One of them is labelled "F1" which I would take it infers the presence of a resettable fuse ("polyfuse", "multifuse", "polyswitch" depending on who the manufacturer is). The marking looks like a "Q" however this is not a common marking and I don't know if there is a standard coding like resistors. In addition there is a large cylindrical component hot glued next to the USB port which could merely be a ferrite choke or something else altogether. I can't see a component designation because of the hot glue.

I very much suspect that there is some passive conditioning or regulation going on here prior to power being allowed anywhere near the pogo pin port. There is certainly no straight path to the pogo pins from the USB port with several potentially non-insignificant (erm) components in the middle. Any fault conditions on a power supply applied to the pogo pins could well be running the risk of damaging something....

My interest in this subject is that I am finishing a Japanese-style wooden dock influenced by the Torii gate with a small LED charging light. Without knowing the reasons for the intervening circuitry between the supply and the N7 it would be irresponsible to put out a dock with unfettered power being rammed to the pogo pins....!

I am wondering whether anybody this side of the pond would be willing and able to donate an Asus dock for examination, whether I should Kickstarter or just go for straight donations on this to buy a specimen dock. Either way I would be more than happy to put the dock's schematic and into the public domain for others to use. My real work is beautiful wood things. :D

On the other hand, if anybody is completely insane we could look at the N7 internals to figure out the battery charging/management system on the board and how the USB and pogo pins differ in that respectö.

I'm looking at making my own dock so found the above pins, I was just thinking about doing a simple wooden frame for wall mounting and putting any circuitry behind the main tablet.

Just to confirm since 4.2 I dont need no trickery to get the dock to be noticed.

Cheers in advanced :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aerosmith:
I have created a dock out a thomas train track that my kids no longer use. I ordered the pogo pins from http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-Round-.../310784852281?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:CA:3160. Attached are some pictures. Some comments and observations from my experience.

I had to embed two screws inside the track and then solder the pogo pins to these embedded screws. Then hot glued the open contacts at the bottom.

Likes:

- Good for use and is robust

- Charges fine with nexus 7 without any skin/cover.

- Cheap. Spent only $7 dollars for the pogo pins

Don't likes:

- Does not look that aesthetic

- Is not compatible for charging nexus 7s with different skins/covers. The pins do not make perfect contact. Although with careful placement it can charge.

- Wish I ordered pins that are at least the height of the train track so that I could solder the pins more conveniently.

- Need to permanently modify build.prop to enable adb over wifi

- Lost the ability to flash bootloader. But I guess there is no need to change bootloader if all is working well

Hope you like my dock :P

Nexus 7 Charging Dock

I know it is quite a few years since this original post but I am trying to find a charging dock for my 2012 Nexus 7 using pogo pins. I have been through many mini USB replacements and would like to try something different. Unfortunately yours is the only one I can even find that exists.

I don't have the skills or tools to make one so...

Do you still have it?

Do you still use it?

Can you make another one?

Can I buy it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rweidner:
Would you make one for someone

I have 2 of the tablets and would love to have a dock for mine but I don't have the skills to make one. I would love to have one with a usb cord coming out that I could plug into charger box. Would you be willing to make one for someone?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rweidner:
Do you still have plans

I have a 2012 nexus tablet and would like to make a stand do you still have the plans for the one you build I really like the design. I would like to make one and was thinking of trying to 3d print the pieces and put one together. I have no idea were to get the pieces cut to make one. Unless you would be willing to cut the pieces another one. If so message me what it would cost me.

Thanks

Hi, I have HTC One X from Vodaphone, my CID is VODAP102, I saw that JB is officially out for OneX but I don't have the update option in my phone, I'm currently using Revolution 9.7.2 rom.

Thanks,

Guy.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
JB is launched but for certain devices only. Your device (and mine, BTW) are not there, and JB deployment for us (and all other branded phones) will depend on Voda, or T-Mobile, or 3 - in a word on a carrier.

One more thing, even when JB for Voda becomes available, you won't get it because your bootloader is unlocked, and you run a custom ROM. So, first thing you do when JB is out, revert to stock and relock your bootloader.

Hello. A few days ago while playing music, the sound started to skip randomly and sometimes quite often leading to music stop completely.

Tried a different player, same problem. Sometimes I can play music for hour without skipping, then sometimes it starts to skip after 10 minutes.

This problem seems to be the same as described here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677132

Phone is not rooted (yet) and is updated to 1.16 firmware.

Anyone has similar problem? Not sure if I should wait for some update or RMA the phone.

I like the phone so far (well, battery life could be better), but this being my second HOX+ (first had bad display) I can't get rid of the feeling HTC is trying really hard to get out of the business.

Edit: The problem happens when music is going through loud speaker. Beats audio off.
[HTC One X+] trellva25:
HTC is a good company but i still feel Samsung makes better hardware...there is a reason they are top of the food chain....but i digress....

i haven't experienced the problem u are talking about...have you tried factory reset and seen if the problem still occurs
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Didn't try hard reset yet. Finally I have setup the phone to my liking and I was keeping hard-reset as the last resort solution. Though I doubt it will help.
[HTC One X+] mgymnop:
Which mp3 player do you use? Google music player, any 3rd party market player like winamp, player pro etc? Does the problem occur with all of them?
[HTC One X+] smok15:
Did you try another headphones?
[HTC One X+] arminyack:
I had this trouble with my Galaxy S3, but not with the HTC One X+...it was related to the PoweAmp EQ. I uninstalled PowerAmp, and played via the stock player. Problem solved. I'm betting its something with Beats Audio.

Now to find some wood to knock on....
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Sorry I didn't mention that this problem occurs with beats audio off and when listening through the loudspeaker (I had to use loudspeaker in the car when my car radio broke and didn't yet have the time to get it fixed).
[HTC One X+] sandeep.mjs:
Delete your Google account from mobile and then try playing music. Sometime new mobile syn the setting of google which previous save setting of old mobile.
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Thanks for the advice, I hate to be messing with new phone like this, but I guess I will try it.

New finding is that while the music skips, the phone is unable to wake up (turn on the screen), at best, the buttons light up but that's it. After skipping is gone, phone wakes up without a problem.
[HTC One X+] Dangerously:
I hate to point out that one's beliefs might not be true. Samsung is like Apple. A customer wants an MP3 player they ask for an iPod...

They want a smart phone they ask for a Samsung or Galaxy phone. It is all about exposure through marketing.

On average Samsung has just as many hardware problems as any other manufacture. I work in a cell shop so I see what comes back every day.

From what you described, having the wake up issue once the sound skips, another program is causing the issue.

I am 90% sure that it is not a hardware issue. If I were you, I would have started with your last resort first (sorry :( ).

If the issue is still there then you might have bad memory or internal SD. If not then start installing your programs one at a time to weed out the faulty app.
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Thanks

Even though I'm mostly using the same programs as on my good old HD2, I really hope it will be only a sw issue. I have now made a factory reset, didn't transfer any settings, didn't even install much programs, just the bare minimum.

First 1h of drive with music over loudspeaker was without skipping. So far good, but I think I didn't have the problem right from the start (which could suggest the cause is some program I have installed later).
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
So far good. Even battery life has maybe tripled, so I guess and hope it was just a really bad app. Now I'm even afraid to install anything :D
[HTC One X+] adamkaye:
Any thoughts on the faulty app?
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Don't want to accuse anyone as I don't have proof yet, but I can name apps that I haven't had before on my HD2 and which probably have some kind of process that always runs.

Those apps are:

- Juice Defender (but had it disabled in the past few days as a test if it doesn't try to protect the battery too much resulting in music skipping)

- Lux Free - this feels to me like the most likely candidate

Then I haven't these, but I don't think they have always running process:

- GPS Test

- Skifta

Looking back, it's a pity I first didn't try to have a look at which apps I didn't have before and tried to uninstall them first.
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
I use both, they don't eat much battery...
[HTC One X+] ulukai3:
Then maybe the cause was that I tried to uninstall and disable as many htc bloatware as possible and maybe some other process was relying on those uninstalled/disabled and was causing this problem.

Hey, I have htc wildfire s with s-on running on 2.3.5....

I want to root it to use applications that require a root..

I want to know is it possible to increase internal memory or use sd card partition to utilise as an internal mamory? If yes, then how to do it?

and I want a simple root... means no upgrading for 4.0 ICS is required for me.

I am a new to rooting.. so please explain me in simple way..

I dont understand the bootloader and clockmode recovery like words..

Please help me.. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
To be honest, if you don't understand the bootloader etc you may be better off leaving the phone alone, as you need to modify it to achieve rooting of the device.

This section is full of well written tutorials that are easy to follow.

Just use search function for how to root your wildfire s.

Look at the link below, it has a bit of advise and some links to look at.

[HTC Wildfire S] RonakGOD:
Thanks for reply... but can i do the partition? and can i install all applications if I partitioned sd card of 1 gb for Internal Memory..??
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
Simple answer is no, there are a few apps that will move apps to the SD card (some apps cannot be moved though)

This is one reason why people root the device....to free up memory and remove unwanted service provider apps etc.

It is a fairly simple process, take the plunge and root the device.

[HTC Wildfire S] Kishoke:
hey... first try to search for the post.... this question hase been asked a lot of times... and post in correct section.....

BTW... you can root your device easily... it is just simple... and you can increase your internal memory by creating a ext partition in your memory card (data2sd)..

1. To unlock your Bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432199

2. To Root your Device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195275

SO i was having the issue with my phone just randomly losing its signal, then restarting then my battery suddenly was at like 3% charged.. people said it was the battery that was the issue. So.. this morning, my phone was charged fully.. I was near a sprint store so I decided to go in there and see if i could get a new battery.. cuz I did the spin test and guess my battery is bulging..

So I shut my phone off, took out the battery and talked to the guy.. he typed some crap in his computer.. looked at the back of my phone and typed in the numbers or something... told me if I wanted a new battery I had to buy one..

I didnt have the money today, so I said I would come back later and get one..

so I put the battery back in my phone..left the store.. turned on my phone.. and now.. the boot animation starts.. gets to the part where it has the big yellow 4G.. then sits there for a second, then restarts and does the same thing, over and over and over and over...

What could have happened? My phone has never done this before.. I have so much stuff on the phone that I really dont wanna lose..

Is there anything to do to save my phone or the info on it??

PLEASE HELP

Bad news? That battery is at its end. You're not going to be able to use it until you replace it unless you plug it in.

Try calling around to stores, explain the situation and see if anyone will be able to help you out before heading out. Better than driving to the store and not getting anywhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Make sure its a corporate store.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
As mentioned already by Blues, it is definitely the battery. You might start by plugging in to your desktop and grabbing whatever you need from the phone memory, just in case something goes wrong later. And going forward it's a good idea to store more important data on your microSD and/or use a service like Jottacloud that will auto sync important phone data to the cloud.

Also, as patrao_n says, make sure it is a corporate store you are going to if possible, rather than an affiliate store. The affiliates in most cases don't care much about customer service nor retentions, it's all volume for them.

Lastly, it is a good idea to use the same corporate store every time and get to know the people, especially the techs. If you establish a rapport, your mobile life can be great.

So far this year I have received a new charger, a second usb cord, an 8GB micro SD (they have alot of this stuff lying around back there), a brand new battery last month and just this week had my screen replaced while I stood there. All FREE. A little time invested in empathizing with the techs and becoming a familiar face will go a long way when you are having issues.

I'd recommend that you start by finding a corporate store nearby, go in and show them the current issue with the phone, let them "discover" the issue with the battery (people like to feel useful and knowledgable) and see what solution they offer. If you smile, treat them in a kind manner and seem genuine, I bet they open a new battery and place it in your phone and send you on your way.

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Call sprint corporate repair center, if they have a good used battery or new one in stock it will be free on the spot. Alternatively you can order an anker battery from amazon once it arrives contact Samsung support from Samsung.com call the 800 # they will email you a shipping label. Mail them the bad battery and they will mail a brand new one back. It took me 10 days from the day I put it in the mail til I got a new one back. The anker batteries are good quality and have the charging circuit, voltage regulator and temp probe built in unlike some cheap batteries. My anker was like 20$ with overnight shipping. I ended up with 2 batteries ffor $20 since no sprint stores in my area had any available. If you go to sprint again just make sure they do repairs and are corporate, on the site they will just say sprint and not sprint by xxxx the sprint by xxxx stores are franchise/3rd party retailers

so you guys think that if i get a different battery then my phone should finally start up? I really dont wanna lose everything I have on my phone and as of right now, I cant get anything off my phone, other than on the SD card, which I already got that stuff. I need everything off my USB storage on my phone. Important stuff...

My phone doesnt even turn on when plugged in. Still starts to turn on.. gets to the BIG YELLOW 4G in the boot animation and restarts from there.

I have SEVERAL spare batteries for this phone, and I could give you one. Email me your address and I can send you one today since I am going to the post office anyway. It's not OEM, but they work just fine. Or, if you want to spend some cash, get one of those cheap extended batteries off Ebay / Amazon.

Finally Went to a corporate sprint store. Told them my issue. They looked at my battery and said that it was a bad battery. So they went to get a new one, put it in the phone, and turned it on.. And same issue was still there. It would only get to the big yellow 4G in the boot animation, then just keep restarting.. I was so upset.

They had to reset my phone. I lost so much important stuff I had on the USB storage in my phone. I cried.. Lol

Anyways.. They did the reset and blah blah.. I got home & started going they my phone... Everything looks completely different now. I think it may have put the Android updates on it and what not. I looked in the about phone section and this is what it says now:
