So I purchased the piece that allows me to plug in USB devices to my tab however since the external port is on the bottom of the tablet, it can be a pain to use sometimes. Yes I know I can turn the tab upside down, but I had another idea.
Is there a right angle connector, that would serve as an "extension cord" to the port, and basically make 2 90 degree turns and come up the back of the tab (since I have a case), with the female expansion port coming out at the top of the back of the tab??? I would envision it to be a ribbon cable so that it laid flat against the back of the tab.
look at that :

Neither of these solve the problem of the big bulk of the port being on the bottom of the screen that I was talking about.
Not sure if there's any other solution short of taking a dock apart and trying to put a female connector onto the end of the ribbon cable.
Here's a link to a teardown of the dock.

I just got a Galaxy Relay 4G to replace my Pre 3 soon. I got so used to Touchstone charging so I'm planning to carry it over to the new phone, like some others have done:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...stone-mod.html
Problem is there aren't any resistors around the Micro USB port where usually most mods hitch the wire into, and I suck at soldering something that tiny. Anyone got any tips on how I can solder it? The negative wire goes to the shell of the socket and positive wire to the 5V line on the port. For starters I know I need a new soldering iron, the 60W one I have is way overpowered.

I know they are caused by the clips on the micro usb cables ..
are they
1) Caused a design flaw by LG (causing such a scratch)
2) LG molded designed and molded the plastic in such a way
Attached is also another pic of my phone

Hi
I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.
I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.
Turns out it isn't.
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?
I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)
Any input would be appreciated
Here's a photo of the connector

Best,

Based on the Moto G Falcon Thread i did the same for Titan.
I used a universal Qi Receiver and solder new wires on it. Where to find "Ground" and "5V" spot was in my case written on the Receiver.

The difficult part, was to find the spots on the MotoG2014. The spots i used:
The 5V ist the silver spot near to the USB Connector. For ground i used the Sim Connector
At least i pull off the platic film on the back from the Phone, to fit everythink nicely.
I guess it is no surprise, but everythink working fine.
You can also use your normal charging cable
Not sure what topic this should be in, but I'll try this one.
Instead of using the stock charging dock from Lenovo, I'm curious if it's possible to charge my Lenovo M10 FHD Plus with an aftermarket USB-cable that has a 2-PIN POGO connector in one end, and a standard USB-A in the other end? If that is the case, could you help me identifying exactly what dimensions that is required for the 2-PIN connector? I see a few different ones, such as 2.84 mm between the pins. Unfortunatly I don't have the right equipment to measure my self.
Best Regards / R

Hi @rodtrickle
I'm looking for something similar, did you find a solution?
I've found a cable in amazon that seems to have the correct spacing between the pins, the tablet "starts charging", but unfortunately, it can only draw 0.5amps using that cable, so it won't charge as the tablet is consuming more battery than is able to get to it using that cable..
