Just now seeing this thread. My moto 360 warranty is already void(i cut round tabs off to avoid back cracking with custom band).

Sign me up for a cable. I would pay 20$ for one I think. Possibly more if it had some "jig"

Lemme know if this happens :)

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Where are we at as far as custom Roms on this watch? I feel like that would be a BIG selling point for these cables. However personally I think it would be worth it right now so I could flash this new ota that I haven't got! Lol
[Moto 360] 640k:
seems relatively easy to do with wood. cut a PCB board to size, solder on contact points. add a USB interface.

you could drill out an area for the watch to rest in the chunk of wood. screw in the PCB board, etc. if you painted it black and added some felt, it would be a quick and dirty solution.
[Moto 360] mknrls:
Would be great if someone could create a small custom PCB that just slip in the watch area to make contact, then the other end has micro USB connection and just use normal phone charger cable to connect it to your computer.
[Moto 360] dark_samus:
working on a thing to 3d print that should simplify the process (pictures of progress so far are attached below), it needs pogo pins, I'm currently hunting down the proper sized ones to pop in there, suggestions are open for design changes

EDIT: it was pointed out to me that this design has a huge flaw... once inserted the watch with pogo pins, how will it come back out as the spring loaded pins are now popped down into the holes with no way to access the pins to pull them back out of the holes
[Moto 360] NWKENT:
Please continue with development.. seems as thow your headed in the right path with the 3D print idea..
[Moto 360] dark_samus:
I have a few problems with the idea, as stated above the pins not coming out will be an issue and I'm having trouble finding the proper sized pins

EDIT: proper sized pins found! Part No. : SVPC-F-H199M0 from http://www.nh-technology.de/en_pp_flat_type.php
[Moto 360] NWKENT:
Maybe the 3D printed part, could be two pieces, where one would slide out/remove part of it, (or something wedge like)..to allow enuff free play to remove the second part, which contains the pins you mention.?

Just a thought thow..

[Moto 360] dark_samus:
actually the wedge thing gave me a great idea, make a hole in the side and a separate piece with a wedge that will go on either side of the pins and catch the little rim on the top so when you push it pulls up on the pins and maybe have some springs so that once the tool is removed the pins spring back down into their proper place

Seems like everyone's just getting "unknown device." Can anyone confirm that it does work? Also, my device just seems to crash when I hook it up to the PC. Am I the only one with that symptom? I've like quadruple checked my wiring.

Yeh..now you got something there..I'm not clear on your exact idea, maybe a CAD as you posted before would help..but..seems to me, your headed in the correct path..

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!
[Moto 360] 640k:
don't over complicate it. all you need are standard copper pins. if the rig is accurate enough (as in it fits perfectly in that space), instructions for use include "piercing" the sticker with the pins. that way you get a secure/snug fit too.

since you seem to have access to a 3D printer - a smarter design might be something that stays in that spot "permanently" and can be glued/bonded somehow to retain the moisture barrier. additional benefit would include not having to remove the watch band every time.

you would basically be creating an interface for a ribbon cable. take your design and invert it. you would have posts with copper contacts at the end. the "ribbon" (or whatever" would attach underneath to some sort of external micro usb port that would likely protrude from the watch just slightly. where i'm lost/having trouble is if there are female adapters small enough to prevent it looking like a complete eyesore.

for me, the perfect solution would be:

1. small, flat, permanent. something that maintains the moisture barrier.

2. no female port, instead, a magnetic strip that rests on the outside of the watch.

here's a quick and dirty concept i made in MSPaint. (LOL)
[Moto 360] dark_samus:
I'd love to make something permanent, I'd been pondering the idea myself, but with the limited space in the cavity I'm not sure we'd have the space to make a solid electrical connection and have the watch band able to fit in there with it... however that's just speculation and you're of course free to prove me wrong, for connection I was thinking a flat ribbon cable.... something that ended up looking similar to this with the other end of the ribbon cable plugging into the watch piece I'm making, that's some sort of Xbox 360 mod but it's basically what I had in mind... cable connection on top of USB end with an inlaid port into the printed piece, this still brings up the issue of the pogo pins being spring loaded and popping down into the holes without a way to get them back out
[Moto 360] 640k:
check this: http://www.magnetic-usb.com/ its not what i first envisioned but seems like it has promise.

what clearance does a 3D printer allow for? with injection molding, i think it's called "0 clearance" (or something, i'm a little rusty). basically you've created an immeasurable void that gets filled as a "hinge" for plastic pieces. similar to this:

the plastic itself doesn't need to be thick, just a support base for the ribbon itself and the pins. i think the leads for the pins to make contact would probably have the "thickest" plastic of the whole device.

i imagine the pins to look like tiny thumbtacks with a head on both ends. the ribbon would make contact with the pin and be adhered to the plastic. the plastic would guide the ribbon up the side of the watch and then we'd need a method for making contact with the connector. i'm still on the side of making magnetic somehow. the connecting cable doesn't have to have a solid fit (it doesn't have to be strong) as most programming would probably be done with the watch off the wrist.

even if there isn't a "thumbtack" like solution, a copper wire bent the right direction would work.
[Moto 360] dark_samus:
I had the "crashing" symptom it turned out to be that one of my D wires (green) was in where it was supposed to go but wasn't making contact, the solution for me was to take the wire out, take my ethernet port apart further until I could see the thing that was supposed to be cutting through the wire insulation and I took a pair of pliers and bent them closer together,then re-inserting the wire, it'll be harder to push in but it's more reliable.

The "Unknown Device" is just Windows being stupid, that's why I recommend linux for that sort of thing, adb and fastboot drivers aren't needed with it, all that's needed is a rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d (info on that is here under the Configuring USB Access heading ) but if you can't be bothered with linux then just open control panel> device manager> right click on unknown device> update driver software> browse for driver>let me pick from a list> uncheck the "only show drivers compatible with device"> look for motorola and click on the bootloader driver> it'll give you a warning, it's safe to ignore, after that it should appear in the device manager and fastboot devices should recognize it

as a side note my bootloader was successfully unlocked and I have TWRP flashed and have rooted the device, hope this helps

pins I want to use http://www.nh-technology.de/en_pp_flat_type.php part SVPC-F-H199M0 also I think you mean tolerance (like what's acceptable + or - ) the tolerance of the printer depends on many factors, for example, nozzle hole size, (mine has a 0.4 mm hole), motor driver settings (they can be set to be more or less accurate), speed at which the print is performed, how well the printer is calibrated, set layer height, and so on
[Moto 360] Svorax:
Yes, you were correct! My green wire was also a bit finicky so I pulled the wires, stripped them, then tinned them with some solder. Definitely worked following this. After doing so, the correct windows drivers installed automatically. Thanks for your help!

So when I plug the device into the computer, the 360 turns on but as soon as I disconnect it it shuts off. I placed the 360 on the charging dock overnight and still would not power on but it gets recognized by the computer. Is the phone possibly bricked?
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
That sounds more like a bad charger to me. If it charges while connected to the computer, let it charge all the way and then try your charger again.
[Moto 360] lazyluis32:
When connected to the computer it reads that the battery is at 100% and is really hot. Once disconnected the watch dies and won't power on at all
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
Next guess is that you didn't get the pin connections right in your connector. That could potentially fry a circuit in your watch, if it hasn't already.

Is the wiring correct according to the video tutorial? Am I supposed to connect the pins toward the leftmost or rightmost hole with the watch face up? I can't get anything to show.

[General Questions and Answers] mjjcb:
I've read more threads than I can count to find an answer to my problem, but none have fit quite right.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s3, U.S. Sprint L710. This is a secondary phone I use to test new roms and other mods. The last working rom I had was the Kitkat Carbon. I tried flashing Xenon and ended up in a continuous bootloop. I can get it into download mode, but I can't get to recovery. I've tried using Kies, uninstalled that and tried a jtag bit. Neither worked. I downloaded the latest USB driver from Samsung and Odin, but I can't install the driver because Odin doesn't detect that my Galaxy is connected to my laptop (Windows 8). The first box on Odin doesn't light up to indicate that my phone is recognized.

When I plug my phone in, Windows seems to recognize something is connected, because I get the little Windows chime. But it doesn't show up as an external device anywhere. So that's where I'm at. It goes into bootloop as far as the Samsung logo, or I can get it into download mode where it just says "Downloading" until I pull the battery. I keep looking on line hoping to find a unique way out of my predicament, but it just ends in frustration.

Am I just out of options besides sending it into Sammy for $72? Is there anything else anyone can suggest? Thank you in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] mjjcb:
Thanks, but I have no way of getting to recovery. If I could, I'd know just what to do. I've tried smacking the power button side incase it was a stuck power button, but that did nothing.
[General Questions and Answers] rgxHost:
You are prolly reading the wrong stuff...

- Download Odin (pc app),

- Get your Stock Rom.

- Boot your device in Download Mode;

- Open Odin; load your rom files in the correct place.

- Make sure you didnt change any checkboxes.

I.e:

"Clear EFS" must NOT be enabled. (Also keep in mind that you must backup your EFS partition before your phone loses imei).

- Flash the Rom.

- After completion (Green "Pass" message in Odin); remove USB Cable;

Now more stuff you must learn: search for CWM for your device; search how to install it; and also search how to perform a clean install.

Also Read how to backup your efs (before its too late).

Press thank button if i helped you.

This will keep me motivated to help and share my knowledge.
[General Questions and Answers] mjjcb:
Thanks for all of that advice. I have CWM installed, and I have nandroid backups on my SD card. The problem is Odin doesn't seem to detect that my phone is connected. When I plug my working S3 in, it shows up in the first com 1 box, but nothing shows up when I plug my down phone in. I have it in download mode, but Odin doesn't detect it.

When I hit start and run Odin, it confirms a valid tar file, but it shows 0 successful / 0 unsuccessful tasks when it finishes. If this was a hard brick, I'd just give up, but I keep believing there must be a way to get it into CWM recovery. It's just so odd that it will go into download mode but not trigger a response from Odin.

This is as much of an interesting mission of mine as it is a desire to get my phone up and running. Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
if you able to connect to odin, the problem can be solved.

manually install different versions of drivers, different pc, and check if odin detect it.

[General Questions and Answers] mjjcb:
Well this got more interesting. I downloaded Odin 1.85 on a different laptop, and I got a response. It shows it's connected with a yellow box in the first com box and in the "activity" box below. When I disconnect it, it shows that too, so that's encouraging! When I plug the USB tar file into the PDA field and hit Start, it confirms that it's a valid file and it starts to download, but then it fails. I tried it a few times, but the result is the same. There's a hint of a download bar beginning on my phone, but that's it.

At this point, I wonder if I have the right USB file. When I try to download the USB from the Samsung site, I don't get a tar file that Odin it looking for. I downloaded the one I have from one of the countless sites I checked. The USB file I'm using is 1.4 gigs. Does that sound like the right size for a stock USB file? Almost every time I click on a link for a USB file, it has me at a downloading program where it takes 5 hours to download for free or an option for a faster download if I spend money. That sounds like a scam.

If anyone has a valid link for the correct Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 USB driver, I'd really appreciate it. Any other advice? Thank you for everything so far!

Hi all.

The power button on my HTC M8 is broken.

By broken, I mean that it has these "symptoms":

- sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

- ultra sensitive, almost to the slight touch

- ghosts locks/unlocks device

- ghost holds down the button

I know sending it to AT&T would be the best option, but they said it is not covered in the warranty and I would have to pay $120..

Is there anyway of fixing this myself? Or a cheap service for fixing?

Thank you all!!

It is possible to upgrade the built-in MMS composer from ArcSoft and which is the actual version for us WM2003SE user?

I don't now if it's the original composer but I have a cab file which is at version 2.0.0.22!

By the way: do you know about any other MMS composer for WM2003SE?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] CJBS:
I think there is a higher version than this for 2003SE, but it'd just include bug fixes. I remember seeing a slightly higher version number on the Xda Mini. There are newer release versions for WM5, but not for 2003SE.

Having tried upgrading this, and failed (newer versions were packed in installs that work on 2003SE, but are designed for WM5), my advice to you would be that if your ArcSoft MMS program works, then don't touch it! Once an upgrade is installed, you can't roll back, without rolling back to a backup or your Phone.

What additional features were you looking for?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] animelover:
I don't miss any feature but I was interessted in it! ;)
