can your pogo cable use to transfer files from your PC? I just got it today, charging my tablet right now so I don't want to disconnect it but the disclaimer said "Thus, it may not transfer data....signal".

I can see the charge speed is slightly faster, like shave off about 2hrs instead of the 8hr charge from dead to full.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] nigelhealy:
Good to see you're seeing such a noticeable charge improvement, that's 25% faster which seems above-average, about 20% is more common.

No, the Pogo is only for charging. I've confirmed by trying different cable connections that when you plug in to USB the Pogo cable stops delivering charge which is most odd and I expect needs a kernel developer to tweak some setting.

I've not gone so far in determining if the presence of Pogo means any USB is for data-only and it doesn't charge so what I'd do is unplug Pogo plus in USB and you'd be getting some charge through USB then disconnect USB and plug in Pogo. I'm doing that test now playing video full brightness whilst both plugged into PC and Pogo and look at steepness of the battery drain with and without Pogo plugged in.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

I been playing video at full brightness to cause power consumption. In these combinations and outcomes:

When the Pogo cable and USB connected to PC, the N10 receives power sufficient to keep charged, implying the Pogo cable is still delivering charge.

When the Pogo cable connected and the N10 is powering a USB device like USB harddrive, the battery drains showing the Pogo is not delivering charge, despite what the N10 is claiming. The rate of drop of charge is the same regardless of whether the Pogo cable is connected or not.

When the Pogo cable is unplugged and USB connected to PC, the charge drops slowly, implying in the 1st test above the Pogo was delivering charge

So this is counter-intuitive but seems when the Pogo cable is connected, if the USB connection can deliver power, the Pogo cable is still used for power, but when the USB connection requires to take power, the Pogo cable is not being used for power, the exact opposite of what you'd want.

However, I've confirmed at least for myself that if you wanted to connect to a PC there's no harm done charging wise, just if you connect external device then nothing really you can do stop battery drain,

I'm sure there can be a kernel hack to make this work more intelligently? Like the change Ziddey did for the N4?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] workerantDroid:
thanks. I just feel I spent $25 for a cable that isn't fully functional. where is the original pogo cable that actually can be connect to PC? has any1 try to modify this pogo to make it fully functional?

$25 is so not worth it for this tiny improvement on charge time.

seem my solution is clear... use my cell phone charger and just charge my tablet over night. the tablet charger is a tat too fast for over night charging.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] nigelhealy:
Was the Pogo connector ever meant to be for data?

Depends on your usage scenario. At full screen brightness, USB does not charge as fast as the N10 demands so the charge is diminishing, with Pogo it can make the difference and keep it charged, so with Pogo if you take any opprortunities when static to get some charge, your battery level is maximum.

Also, if you're frequently connecting/disconnecting, the magnetic connection should last longer than the USB socket. For me being able to charge 25% means I better use of any time when not tied to a cable.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] firemedic1343:
Not worth it for my uses either.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Stephen.Clement:
Thats kind of the point of why this exists, google never released the official cable. Nobody could work out how the pogo pins transfer data/audio/video, so the only thing that could be developed by a third party was a cable that charges, it's unfortunate, but it's the best you're going to get unless google releases something official (which seems unlikely)
[Nexus 10 Accessories] switchblade5984:
why does google do that, they put things like pogo chargers, then they never utilize them.... officially... /end super short rant.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] phony01:
So worth it if you leave your house.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Has anyone got the poetic revolution (hate this bloody case) & manages to get the pogo cable to attach?

----------------------

EDIT: Poetic (I HATE YOU) case is now in many parts in the bin. Poetic, I hope you all get ebola!

Pogo makers you are cool, I like your cable.

What case are people using with this that will allow use of the Pogo cable? Is the gumdrop compatible?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] RomeoOscarBravo:
MoKo Ultra Slim Case has a recess from the Pogo Charger, works perfectly without having to remove the case. Bought it from Amazon UK.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
Jeez, some of you whine a lot. Whether the cable is $20 or $25, it's a one-time expense. Suck it up.

I got one primarily to protect the USB jack, secondary was any gain in charging speed (I charge it overnight anyway).

And to anyone who discovered it didn't transfer data after they bought it - you should have done your homework first. This thread is over a year old.

I'm just glad someone picked up the ball that Google dropped, and I happily paid $20 for the cable. I would have paid more, actually. It's not like it's a monthly charge. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ColinB63:
Just got mine today, I have only had the Nexus 10 three days and the micro usb port did seem a weak point. I have to say the POGO cable is a much better option for charging.:)
[Nexus 10 Accessories] mark.m.moran:
Did you buy your Nexus 10 brand new man? How is the light bleed? I thought Samsung had stopped manufacturing them!?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] ColinB63:
I got mine from Expansys for £260 (32GB version). The light bleed is there if you look for it but not enough to bother me in normal use.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] nigelhealy:
My oldest Android device is a N7 about 20 months old, it only has the USB charging option, and whilst it seems to work just fine when I tried to a flash upgrade it wasn't working and I traced to a dodgy USB connection, lots of command-line and cable wiggling to do a Flash. It reminded me that given the high cost and scarcity of N10 (no longer made is not likely to be replaced with a cost-effective alternative) it makes good $ sense to preserve that N10 USB connection for data and exclusively use Pogo for power.

I got lightbleed on one corner of my N10 I could try self-repair, it stands out when ambient light is high enough to need a bright backlight and when the image is dark in the offending corner. Camera doesn't work. Those my 2 biggest probs, but for $278 its not bad overall.

For my N4 which charges relatively fast, my regular-use charging is my wireless charge base I place on that when sat at my desk which covers all my needs 90% of days, so also not hitting the USB socket often. Wireless charging would be nonsense to N10 due to its large power needs.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] garyg2k:
Has anyone had the magnets come out of their pogo cable? I bought my pogo cable from accessory geeks about 14 months ago.

The first magnet came out maybe 6 or 7 weeks ago, but it still worked. That was until a few days ago when the second magnet came out.

Now of course it doesn't "stick" at all and the pins don't line up. Am I the only one?

If this HAS happened to anyone else, did you RMA it or repair it or replace it?

Oh. One more thing... I contacted the retailer. They said that they think the warranty was only for 1 year. But it wouldn't matter since they no longer carry the cable to replace it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] nigelhealy:
Superglue and solve this in seconds. Now come on.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] garyg2k:
Have you done this or are you just saying how easy you THINK it should be?

Because this is one of those "easier said than done" things.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] nigelhealy:
You are right I was speaking theoretically I not done but I imagine a drop will be enough tiny amount and leave it a while

sent from my OnePlusOne
[Nexus 10 Accessories] garyg2k:
You were right, it was pretty easy

There's two pieces that came out, a magnet and a small 1mm metal spacer. First I tried just sticking them back in the hole, but the notches on the magnet didn't line up with the plastic.

The reason the magnets came out was because the housing was cracked. And I didn't want to pry it open for fear of further breaking it.... but I had to. And doing that let me see what I was doing wrong.

The metal piece needed to go on the other side of the magnet. I was trying to put it in the original way because I thought that was the way it came out, but my kids must have played with them and flipped them around before giving them to me.

While yes it was "easier said than done", it was still very easy to do. Hardest part was prying it open without breaking it. Most annoying part was having to wait for the weekend to get the free time to fix it. Thanks.

<OFF TOPIC> I see you have a OnePlus One. How do you like it, and do you have any invites? </OFF TOPIC>

Fantastic Cable

I have had my Samsung POGO cable for quite some time now, and I can tell you that it is the best purchase I have made for my Google Nexus 10 bar none. It charges my N10 In a very, VERY short time (an hour instead of all night). All I did was to search on Samsung POGO cable, and chose a reputable dealer with excellent ratings (making sure that he uses the eBay money back warranty), and the rest is history!

Again, the best purchase I have made for my Google Nexus 10 bar none!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] garyg2k:
Try that search again. There's no one still selling this cable on eBay or anywhere else. Not the cable by itself anyway, maybe you can find it bundled with a used tablet on eBay.

Not sure about 4amp but it charges my Nexus in less than 3 hours (I had bought it used) whereas with stock charger my tablet was taking more than 8 hours to fully charge.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] saryu:
well, i normally charge it overnight while sleeping and i don't have issues where the battery keep draining when i'm playing games while charging.

but, is it really 40% faster?. normally i sleep around 7 hours and woke up full anyway. So i guess 20$ is not worth it for me, maybe for some other people that desperately need a little bit faster charging.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Bru87tr:
I like the option of the charging through pogo.

I bought one as applying for Bill Me Later with $10 back on my account for joining brings it to my max I would spend for it. So total comes to $15.99 .

Worth it for $10 cheaper. I will let you guys know how it turns out for quality and charging time.

Shipping seems a bit steep for a light cable.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

I always charge overnight and the extra time for trickle charge is good too when charging overnight.

If I took my N10 off charging (during the day) when it says it is full, it was only around 98% charged. If I leave it over night, it gets a full 100% charge.

Another thing this cable will help with is wear and tear on the usb port. It seems a bit more fragile than others I have had.

40% faster would be great during the day if you need a charge, but it seems that is not the case with this cable after all. Still at $15.99 after my savings, well worth the price.

Hopefully samsung/google will offer a free one when they release it, having a spare for my vacation home would be cool. What do you think the chances are they will offer it for free ? :)
