I got my pogo cable in today, and I decided to pop the casing off (using a tiny flathead screwdriver) and use sandpaper to wear it down rather than saw it for a more precise cut. It worked out pretty well! Here's some pictures of the pogo cable disassembled. I sanded off the plastic on the bottom all the way up to the two plastic pins that keep the assembly together.

Dock for Nexus 10

Hi I read your post regarding you invention of the dock for the Nexus 10 Samsung and I was hoping if you could please inform me if you still have one available I am happy to purchase. I am located in Australia and I maybe 4 years too late but I'm just checking to see if you have any available. My email is qellison@yahoo.com.au and even if you don't have one please inform me so I can look elsewhere in case. Thanks for reading my email and I look forward to hearing from you if you are online kind regards Quentin.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
Sorry these are no longer available.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] meessie65:
Where still available????????????

Anybody any idea where I could still pick up one? Thanks!!!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
They are unfortunately no longer available. I'm actually surprised that your Nexus 10 is still functional enough that you would need one!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] kerteenk:
It's still functional, just some battery issues. But i was thinking of using it kinda as a Google Home Hub :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 10 Accessories] dgcruzing:
Since your in Australia..

And your lucky you got a good one..as in the screen didn't go Yellow..

I got a Pogo cord if you want it..

Still got the unit and it actually stills boots..

But since it's got that yellow across it.. I haven't used it for years..

Actually it's only visible on white background..so playing video is fine and or games that they can handle..

Will pm you once I am on the computer..

Lol..just looked at the date on the post..last year..so maybe by this time it has died..

Funny thing I was cleaning out gear over weekend and thru out old transformer cables and kept the nexus 10 and Pogo cable thinking I would do something with it..

Time for the recycling bin..

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
Looks great! I'm not sure what the inside of the standard dock looks like, but if there's some way to shove a shim next to the pogo housing, you might be able to angle it towards the back so you wouldn't need to shim up the tablet itself. Or you could just stick a strip of foam or something on the plate on which the tablet leans against.

It looks like the standard dock has a gloss finish which would make sanding the logo off look bad. The other dock has a more textured finish and sanding it down blended perfectly.

That's smart. Sawing that thing was a bit of a pain.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Ken401:
That sounds about right. I think you will find it necessary to cut off the black rubber square on the end of the cable. It got in the way of being able to keep the POGO connector low enough when reattaching the base. I think your pictures are the first of a disassembled POGO connector! Will it snap back together or will you need to glue it?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] redthunda69:
I thought I was the first! Snapped right back together after I realigned the magnets (which just fell out as they're held in place by the plastic). That's what the plastic pins are for!

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

The standard dock I ordered has a textured finish in the pictures on the eBay listing. Assuming that's the case, I'm definitely sanding it. I may get a nexus logo vinyl sticker made to replace the Toshiba logo. And I'll definitely be adding an NFC sticker to the back plate.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Ken401:
Awesome. I was thinking you might be able to file the long edges of the slot on the dock at a backward angle rather than straight up and down to help give the connector a bit of a tilt. Hope it works for you!

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Yep, it is a textured or matte finish. The gloss you're seeing might be the clear tape I used for the label.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] hughlle:
What case is that out of curiosity? Seems that there is no bulky shell wrapping around the tablets bezels like with most.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Ken401:
It is Google's Smart Cover. http://nexus10accessories.com/official-nexus-10-smart-cover-released/ Basically just a flap to protect the screen.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] hughlle:
Ooooo. Thanks for that. Thought that was what it looked like but was not aware that it had been officially released. A shame it doesn't have a folding variation so that it can be used as a stand. I like my current case as it can become a stand, however flimsy, but i have not real reason to protect the back of the device, just the screen, but as such, i end up doubling the thickness of the tablet and making it seem fairly bulky. Always amazed how slim the device is whenever i remove the cover.

This coupled with a cheap DIY dock, and it seems a rather attractive idea. No doubt if google release a dock it will cost a fair chunk of money.

Two great things in one thread :)

Will this work with Moko Ultra Slim Case on the device or does it only work without a case?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
I can't guarantee that it'll work with your case. But as long as they left a hole in the case for the pogo cable, then it probably will. But I really don't know. I don't use a case on mine and haven't tested it with any cases/covers.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] lokkenjawnz:
So this dock looks ridiculously rad, that's some top-notch work!

Now seeing how well this works, it's got me thinking of what could be done to better utilize the dock. The pogo pins should carry audio as well as power right? Can we tap into that using the existing pogo power cable? That would make this a damn near perfect dock.

The only other thing I could think of to make it better would be to throw a USB hub in it to use those USB ports, and wire it out so it can hook to an OTG cable. Wouldn't be as clean as just the pure pogo pin dock, but it'd be very useful.

Any thoughts to either of these ideas? I figure the audio one shouldn't be too difficult, assuming the pogo power cable carries the audio as well.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
I looked at that. It's not quite so simple. There's another thread with people trying to figure out the pinout of the pogo connector.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024366

It looks like there's a lot of crosstalk between the channels and it would require some circuit design to get it all working, beyond just simple rewiring. The problem is Samsung never released any specs on the connector so it's all just guessing and probing at this point. I have a feeling by the time we figure it out and implemented, Google will release the official dock. I'm happy with charging for now.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] lokkenjawnz:
Damn, I guess I thought it was more similar to the Nexus 7 pogo, which I believe is pretty well documented. I have to wonder why they'd use two different standards for that, doesn't make much sense.

Well the dock is awesome as it stands, I don't have a Nexus 10 just yet, but I'm debating whether I should try my hand at making my own, or if I should just buy the one available here. It'd certainly look a lot cleaner if I just bought this one! :laugh:

I didn't want to completely hijack this thread and get off topic so I created a new one in the apps section. However, since they are so closely related and I suspect the audience here is most likely to offer the best input, I elected to at least provide a link to it. The question is directed to those that build or purchase this dock, that is, what apps are you using when the N10 is docked and do they execute automatically?

Awesome! Glad you guys like it.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
I would recommend you two and everyone else that bought or built this dock to get a better USB cable than the one I included/linked to. I recently realized that that cable has a high resistance and reduces the charging current significantly. Getting a shorter, under 4 ft cable, brings the charging current back to what it should be. I think any cable in the 3 ft range would work well.

I will include the shorter cable with any new orders.

Thanks!

[Nexus 10 Accessories] gamepois0n:

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Lakilaulea:
I received mine in the mail a few days ago (that was SUPER FAST shipping btw) but am just now getting around to using it. It charges, but it charges SUPER SLOW. Any idea why this is? I'm using the supplied USB cable and the Samsung charging block that came with the N10. Do you think I should change the cable or the adapter? I ask because I don't have any spares laying around so I'd have to buy it. Other than that, it looks awesome. The tape in the back is not an issue at all since I never look at the back, and with the N10 docked, it looks like an OEM dock; it reminds me a lot of the dock that was spotted in the Google Christmas commercial last year.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
You probably need a shorter USB shorter. There were a few that went out with a USB cable that was to long before I discovered issue and you must have one of the early ones. The problem with the longer cables is that the resistance in the cable is too high leading to a low charging current. Once I discovered the issue, I replace the included cable from a 6 foot to a 3 foot one. If you get any 3 ft or shorter cable your charging current should go up substantially, more than double, and you should be in good shape. Sorry for the issue but its an easy fix. If changing the cable doesn't work, or if you already have the shorter one, let me know.

For everyone else, I have updated the original post with this new information and all future orders, and almost all that already went out, include the shorter USB cable.

Thanks

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
Haha! whoops. Sorry about that. Glad you got it figured out though and it's working for you. Just a tip though, when you replace the pogo, make sure you tuck the cable that leads to it between the header and the inside edge. That'll tilt the header back towards the stand and make the table fit better and more reliably. Hope that made sense.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] nein7three:
I got my three, for me and my two brothers yesterday, great job!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Lakilaulea:
The cable that came with mine is a 3ft. one. The charging time is atrociously slow so I've been looking to just buy another one maybe off Amazon or Best Buy if they have it. If the 3ft one is the one giving me problems, what would you suggest? Is there a specific brand or something I should be looking for?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
The 3 ft cable should give you about the same rate of charge as via a microUSB. I don't think a different cable will change that, unless you get a shorter one. You might just have a bad unit if you're not charging close to that. If you want you can send it back to me and I'll take a look.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Lakilaulea:
Thanks for the offer. Can you PM me your address? I'll send it out this weekend. I really want this to work 'cause other than the rate of charge I absolutely love this dock.

How much do they go for (shipping included) ? :)

I ship from San Diego California. It's powered by the power adapter that comes with the tablet, so there shouldn't be any compatibility issue. Should be up for sale by the weekend

First of all these cost way more than $30 to make. There's a lot more that goes into it than just those two parts. Secondly, there was a lot of industrial level supplies and equipment that's needed that even if I did do a tutorial you wouldn't have access to. I work as a R&D Engineer so I have access and have suppliers.

But most importantly, I put in a lot of time, effort, and money in developing these. Why do you think you're entitled to all that for free? I will write a tutorial if enough people ask for it, but I'm not going to do it just for you, especially now.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Paddy0174:
Hi there!

It's a really great dock, especially the second version looks like a manufactured one. :D

Nonetheless I'd really like to see a tutorial, as I'd like to build it by myself. Unfortunately it would be a quite expenisve and long way for this coming to Germany.... Shipping and customs are a pain in the ***. Just received a parcel from SeaWorld (SanDiego, right next to you), $39.95 the goods, $386.00 for shipping, $90.00 customs..... No I'm in discussion with FedEx and others... :(

So, my wish would be, make a Tut, so I can try to get the things needed directly here. I would be willing to pay for, I can see the hard work, you put in this. But what I'm not willing to pay is FedEX, UPS and customs.... ;)

Thanks a lot!

No you don't need anything special. The old ones charge slowly, but they charge. Is yours not charging at all? Does the battery icon change when you dock?

This is an awesome dock!! And if I had the cash I'd buy one directly from you, but, I have what I think is the dock as a mate of mine used to own a tosh tablet. How do you get the pogo cable to fit so well? I'm assuming you remove and re-solder it?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Andbanyan:
No, I don't re-solder anything. That's how I used to make them and it was causing charging rate issues. The cable is very sensitive and any added impedance reduces the charging current. I'm not sure which section you are referring to but I do a lot of things to make it fit. You basically have to do a bit of milling to get the dock in shape, both to get the pogo head to fit and the cable to snake out the back through the grommet. And you have to make sure the pogo head tilts towards the back or else you're not going to get a secure connection to the tablet.

What are using to secure the pogo connector to the dock?

I ordered the same toshiba thrive dock and pogo cable from amazon. I unsrewed the bottom of the case and removed all the connections. A quick trip around the opening with a dremel and I snaked the pogo head through the opening. Notched a hole in one of the openings to snake the cable through. I sprayed some expandable foam into the dock and let it dry. Triimmed excess and reinstalled the bottom. Dock is working great for now.
