Can anyone who has opened up their Xoom tell me how much room there is around the charging connector? I would like to change it to a mini USB "B" if there is enough space.
Other than the obvious and quite useless docking station...does the dock port do anything?! Or is it possible to fabricate an adapter to make it do something? I mean come on, what a terrible feature. At least the Transformer docks into a keyboard...all we get is a charging/media dock. It sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't even have a cover to prevent dust intake. Am I missing something?
It would be sweet if somehow the dock could be used to charge (maybe a dock port-usb cord for charging adapter?) or ANYTHING else.
Any ideas?
Would the magnets that hold the phone to the iMagnet dock (see link below) prevent modifying the dock to include a wireless charge insert? Or prevent the charger from charging the phone?

Depends on what kind of magnets there are in that.
Electricity conducts well through most magnets though
Any update on this?
Hello,
I need help with a charging dock I purchased ASUS 90-XB3XOKDS00030- Dock for Nexus 7 1st Version
the purpose of this dock was because my kid destroyed the micro-USB connector anyhow I've tried the charging cable that was used
to connect my N7 but when the tablet is on the doc it does not say say the table is charging nor do i see the little lighting bolt inside
the battery indicating that the table is being charged. My table is rooted and is running on paroniod android.
is there any settings i have to press within the tablet to have the N7 recognize its being charged from the Dock?
any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks,
All I can suggest is check the contacts. Make sure it is firmly seated on the pogo pins and that nothing is obstructing the contacts.
2 days 19 hours on battery???? How do you do it??
I'm having exactly the same issue, the dock arrived today and the Nexus which already had a flat battery isn't showing any signs of life. Did it get yours to work? I'm on Stock 4.4.2.
Update - It was charging after all but unlike when charging from the USB socket it doesn't show any charging indicators when it is off and charging from the dock.
I was wondering if there is a simple way that I can charge my nexus 7 through the pogo pins so I can use USB OTG while the device is charging. I don't want to buy the dock because of its bulk. Is there any way I can charge the device with a home made pogo pin charger?
Thanks
