Recharge via 3 point connector - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm planning on building a docking station, and I find it kind of sad that you can't connect an OTG cable and recharge the N7 at the same time, and so I'm curious if it's at all possible to recharge via the 3 "copper" points on the side.
I'm guessing that you can since Google/ASUS are releasing a N7 specific docking station to listen to music, and I would presume recharge at the same time.
Anyone know anything?
I didn't really know what to search for, looked for 3 point blah dee blah, but no results. If this has been talked about, sorry, and a link to that discussion would be appreciated!
Thank you!

No idea if this helps, but this blah dee blah are called "pogo pins" i think.

I have 4 blah dee blahs (plural...?)

There was someone who tried to do this in the general forum and they found that you can't. I forgot what the exact reason was.

Might just want to wait for the official one to drop.

Official or not, it's not possible to charge via the pogo pins (or the micro USB port) and use USB OTG at the same time.

Never said you could.
Simply posted the link since he said he was looking to recharge thru the pins and I'm sure they would at least include that. Would be easier to just pick one up than to fabricate, whenever it does come out.

Cheers for the help guys, and thanks for the giving me the correct vocabulary regarding the pins.

dock with spare battery port...

i saw this in the google videos that came out some months ago, but i have recently come into a spare battery and i want an easier way to charge it. anyone know if this dock has hit production or if a company has maybe taken it upon themselves to offer it? thank you.

This might not be the answer your looking for but i'll give it a shot anyway. There is this that charges your N1 and your spare battery.

Well its half of what google is charging for their dock (obviously). I have read a ton of reviews on both devices and you can't go wrong with either one. One pro is that it has a much bigger lip to hold your phone in. One con is that you can't hook it up to a speaker system like the google one can, at least thats what i've been told. I'm ordering the google dock later this week but if I was in your situation, i'd probably go with the one on ebay. I hope this helps.

Yeah the google dock only charges the battery in your phone. Judging by your second statement, the non-google charger is the way to go. Let us know how it works out for you, i've heard nothing but good things about it.

Usb thumbdrive plugged into buttom of Hero

I'm just getting around to posting this so first I searched this forum and a couple others. I haven't been on the forums in a few weeks so I was sure it was buried somewhere. I then did a Google search on it as well and found nothing. This has to have been brought up though.
We all know Chloe is using the HTC Hero on 24. The rest of the cast seems to be using the Palm Pre which I love just as much. However this past Monday's episode did everyone notice Chloe plug the thumb drive into the bottom of the guys Hero to copy his information and then give him back his phone while pocketing the thumb drive?

Oh I'm sure its not accurate, its all meant to be entertaining and I'm sure they don't expect the casual viewer to really question a small clip like that. Most times you'll notice when there talking on the phone that the screens are on something entirely different. Last season Jack used the Instinct and it would ring and he would answer but it was still the home screen. I was mostly just surprised I couldn't find anyone else saying "Did you see that!"

Ah I gotcha, yeah I actually dont watch 24 and never have but happen to watch a few minutes and see the scene you were originally talking bout.
just speculating on possibilities here.
It is possible but not probable
They could have used one of these and coupled it with a micro drive of some kind.
Now the question that arises is: Is the OS capable of mounting this as a partition and writing or reading from it....yes...it probably is...but it would take some kernel level code work to get it to work....
What ever government agency it is that 24 is based around has the knowledge on hand to do this.
If a silly post like mine could actually turn into someone skilled enough to mount a USB drive to the bottom then hey awesome. Hopefully it says "Thanks to Chloe, 24 and Jynx" lol.
this is off topic, but have you ever tried plugging your hero into your computer then using the "boot from usb" BIOS option? your computer will show the "htc" screen. the android kernel has all the drivers for usb/cdrom/hdd keyboards mice blah blah.... you need to compile the drivers for a external usb drive (i think some people are working on this) but then you could totally use a external usb drive on your hero. maybe for torrents?? maybe for????

First, there are only two tabs.
Second, they are brass, not gold.
Third, I believe they are springs designed to keep the door under tension and facilitate its removal.

The ones you are talking about are on either side of the phone when you take the cover off. There are corresponding spots on the cover. Mine are a silver color. The ones the original poster asked about are indeed gold in color and number in three. I say they are there for testing purposes. A faster way to connect to the phone maybe.
The HTC carkit mount comes with a special battery door cover, that the mount snaps into, and also connects through...so it's just a guess (I don't have the carkit myself), but I'd think those are the pins that the car mount uses to pass data, or current for charging

Yes, i would say the same thing. I would guess they are for the car kit because the base of the car kit has power running through it
I would have to jump on the bandwagon on this one and say yes to the carkit feature, due to the pictures found here:

I tell this to my own children, don't take anything personal on the InterNet?,
Get what you can out of it? and filter the Trash?, and yes I am really human so on occasion I will have trash too?
If you look at the very simple "Question" I was asking? "Do You Know?" what this is? and if you do? "Please" let me and everyone who is Interested "KNOW"
If you are one of the low percentage of people who are self-aware, then you will understand this?
I spend time on the InterNet and most of that time is spent Filtering the Trash?
70% of what is written here serves no purpose? and of course there will be those who will debate? and I don't care? because it's the InterNet! need I explain that?
To all the "Sensitive People" out there? Have a Happy Great Day!

If we removed all the responses that weren't certain, you'd be sitting here talking to yourself right now.
Most everyone who tried to point you in the right direction did indeed mention that their answers (mine included) were speculation and not first-hand knowledge. If that isn't useful to you, we've granted all forum members the right to ignore any post they want. Yes, any. And we set it up such that you can (and should!) do so without flaming anybody
Someone truly self-aware would recognize that even if help doesn't come in the exact form requested, it's not worthy of disdain.

You are right on many things, but I was not looking for "Absolutes", I was just looking for some "Idea" for it what it might be?
and I regress in my reasoning in putting "Wrong" x3, once should have been enough, my skin became thin from just leaving a controversial site so my frustration level was all wound up?, That I apologies for.
On the matter that I would be "Sitting by Myself?" (Billy Idol,"Dancing with Myself" come to mind) , you are right!, I forgot to turn "Filter" on, so I committed same "Sin", like I said please forgive that one?, I could talk all day about how "If" people would act? but we don't live in a perfect world? actually the opposite.
and for all, as I said before, Have a Happy Great Day!
Lets now leave the Emotional part and get to the Fun Tech Part.
I did find out by talking to T-Mobile Rep Tier 2, it "Is" a Test port, has communication I/O, and can be used for Kar Kit with BlueTooth/bottom micro USB port.
The "Test port" is what I am interested because if you can talk using USB architecture then you can do other things with it? example; Robotics, card readers, Web Cams and many more?, I have been reading the Registry for any clues, or Info on this? That is why I brought up this topic?
The "Test port" is used at factory for reliability testing in a burn-in chamber that they use for getting faulty units out of the mix?
This is what I have so far? if anyone else can add pertinent info it will be greatly appreciated.

You did manage to make my ignore list though. Congratulations!
Yeah, those spots are where the back cover used with the car kit connect to the car kit. I never heard of them being used for anything else, but it might be possible. I think power and audio can be sent through those. It also tells the HD2 to go into the navipanel when carkit is connected to it. When looking through the registry, look around the navipanel stuff. It would be cool if we could find some more uses for that port.
More info
I was told that the center tab is data negative and the left tab is data positive and they use case for ground, now I need to figure out how the USB interface works with this? I have been searching the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 threads for info, but have not found anything? will try the other HD2 original thread to see if anything there can help?
Maybe there is a ROM list of commands supported somewhere to help in the communication interface,
I rigged a 3 wire interface for monitoring only I don't want to put any signals in yet until I understand how it is working?and I am using a program called Boxcar to send signals out of which I can see changes but have yet to determine exact output? This is going to take some time?
Boxcar is a WM2003 program but seems to work with WM 6.5 and is good to use because of the wide variety of interfaces it can use withe the USB transceiver module, Temperature probes, pressure transducers and DAC's Digital to Analog Converters, I also have a serial module but I don't want to go that way? USB is the preferred faster interface.
But ultimately my goal is to make my own Kar Kit interface with a greater amount of control of what it does?
I had already built an Interface that works well with the Ford Sync interface on my car (I use to work for a company that built TED Air condition seats for Ford so I am familiar with the system), but that is using my Laptop and I would like to do the same using only the HD2? Baby steps.
I don't know if anyone here has the knowledge about the HD2 to help me? as it's a new device and info is minimal? I may have to wait until that info level is reached?

Charging/USB Issues

Hi XDA,
OP5 has recently started having this issue. Was wondering if any of you have had or fixed it.
When plugging in my USB cord, the phone behaves as if it is being rapidly plugged in and out, like 2-4x per second. As a result, I cannot get to the phone via adb or fastboot. The phone also seems to have the issue regardless of kernel installed. However, I have not tried with an older OOS version.
Any ideas?
That seems more like a hardware issue.

This is what I am thinking. Its weird b.c it can be sporadic.
Trying to get an advance replacement from OP b.c I cant go w.o a phone for weeks while this one is diagnosed/repaired. Anyone have luck getting an adv replacement from them?
Does your phone charge normally or do you see odd behavior there as well?
^^ it jumps on/off charge rapidly... complete w vibrating.
I managed to use a toothpick to scrape the top/bottom of the usb port contacts... seems to have improved, however, I am wary since sometimes it stops happening for a few hours/days.
The phone actually does charge, the biggest issue is annoyance of the constant vibrating/screen light up & the complete lack of ability to adb or transfer files via usb when it happens.

You might want to try cleaning the port using a can of condensed air--but you need to be careful to use very short bursts at an angle, not straight in and also not to spray any condensation into the port. It sounds like your port is either dirty or loose. I've never heard of an Android USB port getting dirty enough to affect functioning when the phone is so new but if the toothpick helped maybe that's the problem. I am wary of the USB port on this phone. It doesn't feel very solid to me compared to previous phoned I've owned. The headphone port isn't good either. It takes very little movement for a headphone plug to pop out.

Condensed air is a good idea.
Yes I am worried the solder has started coming loose on the port. Although, if that were the case, pressure would presumably cause the issue to go away, which it does not.
I am hoping it might have been a tiny piece of metal or something that got in there and was causing issues. So far so good this morning when plugging the phone in. Still working the replacement route with OP, but at least it seems to be holding for now.
Ill try to keep this thread updated with results.
Report Back.
The direction I insert my USB C cable seems to have issues with one direction vs the other.... seems to make me think something is screwed up with teh contatcs within the phone.

That's possible but I think trying to clean the port with condensed air is still worth a try. I don't like the way the USB connection feels when a cord is inserted or removed from the OP5 so it wouldn't surprise me if a contact did go wonky. Keep us updated. This is a problem other owners may eventually encounter as well.

Yep, tried after that post with condensed air too... gave it a spray 3x for about 1-2 secs each time. Still only working one direction with the USB-C.
I am confident its a hardware issue at this point. Im waiting to hear back from OnePlus on approval for an advance replacement. Phone is not even 2 months old

I have a backup phone so that wouldn't be a disaster for me but I can understand how it could be a huge inconvenience for many people. It's too bad they don't contract out with one of the phone repair chains. That would make things much easier for owners.

I have an issue where I can only either plug in the headphones or the charger into the ports. Otherwise the audio stops routing through the headphone port and back to the speakers. As soon as I unplug the charger, the headphones work again -_-

Dang they have a lot cheaper ones on eBay I've been looking at those for the last couple of days wondering if I really needed one or not.

I would appreciate that thank you

8 bucks and problem is solved!
Another update, these cables seem to charge the phone super super slow which freakin sucks -_-. It seems to be enough to keep the phone from draining too much, but certainly no where even close to quick charge. Someone needs to make something specifically for the 6t!

I'd be surprised if OP didn't start offering one soon.

I do, it doesn't work on my 6t. This is really frustrating since I'd like to talk to my gf and charge my phone in the middle of the night but I can only do one or the other, I also bought the cable you linked and it doesn't even charge my phone, just says "plugged in, can't charge right now." If you ever find one that works well please let me know. Thanks ! :good:

I'm looking for one that's 4 amps to see if it will charge as fast as Dash. Dash is 5v @ 4A. If I find one, I'll report back.
Not compatible with OnePlus

Maybe they edited the description? This is what I read when I checked the link just now. Lists Oneplus as compatible.

If you go to the US, rather than the Canadian, Amazon site and search for "HiMusic-Earphone-Converter-Charging-Compatible", you'll find the same product. On that page, in the Have A Question box enter "OnePlus". Five people, including the seller, report that this product is not compatible with the 6T.

Yeah seems to be the case. Reading the Q&A the seller seemed to address this and says this one works with the 6T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9RD66G
Comments seem to say only pass through works but seller has specific image that states its fine if you plug USB power in first.
There is a thread running on this topic in the relevant section https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...5mm-headphone-charger-cable-solution-t3862937
