Is the s pen attracted by magnets? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to find an s pen in a tight spot, anyone asks to test if it can be picked up with a magnet? It seemed mostly plastic but hoping..

I think it should work. Just tested.
The back of the pen is slightly attracted, but the tip really attracts.
So, if you can, aim for the tip

thanks for the info. I dropped the phone in car in such a way the pen rocket propelled inside A/C duct. I was hoping to fish the pen out of the inside of A/C duct in car. Ended up opening up the dash and still not locating it. First world problems.

Chipped the plastic bezel. Any advice?

Sadly, I know not to drop shiny new objects but unfortunately I dropped my nexus 7. Thankfully the screen is perfectly fine but I have chipped the silver bezel. Has anyone had any experience with any touch up products?
It may be the case that I could find a cheap nail varnish that would do the job but I do like the idea of trying something tailored for the job.
Any thoughts would be great.
Regards
Edit: I have chipped my dell xps which is a similar colour and also the handle to my fridge. I could buy in bulk as I probably will continue to use it.

Silver Sharpie might work. I used it to color the stylus button on my Galaxy Note S-Pen. Might have to retouch every month or so, but I think the color should be about right. http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-39108...81746&sr=8-4&keywords=sharpie+silver+metallic
Many thanks for the tip. Nice cheap fix.

Is it black underneath?
Just curious, since my bezel is black. I'd imagine if I was just painted plastic it will wear away.

I was thinking of using nail polish. Light silver would seem appopriate...?
It was black rubber (?) underneath. I'm surprised that the metallic finish Sharpie has worked so well but for the best part of the week no degradation. I'll be honest, I'll probably get an Asus cover from the play store when available in the UK as although the colour is spot on - I didn't prime or sand down prior to application so it still catches my eye.

[Q] Nexus 7 accident

Hi,
I opened my nexus 7 to readjust the back cover so that it would not creak anymore. In the process, I accidently snapped one of the protruding tiny copper prongs/hooks off. The one closest to the four docking pins on the side of the nexus. It doesn't seem like it connects to anything so I'm not too worried, but is this a problem?
You're screwed

It will make it so you can't use the dock but probably won't effect the actual tablet functions.

I appreciate the answer. Are you completely sure? Not that I'm ever going to use the dock but this still bothers me a little.

The dock is for charging and sound. The pin that broke could be one half of either. Either way its just for dock functions.

If things like a broken pogo pin connector are going to bother you, leave the case closed, leave well alone!

The Jot. I have been using one for a few months now and haven't had a problem. I mostly use it on my tablets but I'm sure they will work fine.

Raspberry Pi Case

I am a manufacturer of raspberry pi cases and wanted to ask you want you would like to see in a case. Right now i only have one on amazon but am looking to make more designs very soon.
Look up current case on amazon under FlexPi or Lasergoodies
I'd like to see cooling vents and some motherboard style mount points cause my pi just rattles in its current casing. Would love to find a case that has gap for the reset switch mod aswell as space under the pi for an led ambient light or a case styled like a micro atx chassis you know to look like a mini PC
Then there's random things like port covers, no SD slot in the end for people that have micro SD adapters,
Flush USB socket edges or girly designs for if people wanna make a media centre for a girls room
Not all in one case tho

Cooling
You could deliver a transparent case with Heatsinks. If you Overclock the Pi, this is very usefull.

Is there any way to have the case act as a heatsink itself

Or with a mini fan
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I bought a Pi and WAS going to put something like this in there feeding off the 5v microusb input. 4mm is quite thin, so can squeeze into the smallest cases easily.
Unfortunately it never happened as i sold the Pi due to lack of time to do what I wanted with it. I did put a heatsink on the cpu and regulator chip but never got around to drilling the bundle of holes for the fan so I could install it.

There's a few aluminum cases out there that have built-in passive heat sinks; don't have the links off the top of my head, just search for Raspberry Pi aluminum case on Google and they'll come up. Can be kinda pricy, but they look freakin' sweet.
Hi

Make a "bronze" or "gray" tinted clear case with built in heatsinks.
adafruit sells a solid aluminium case that has sinks built in but its rather expensive.
Something that protects the sd card better.. Mine took a slight knock and damaged the slot on the board. It's now wedged in with some cardboard!

Magnet placement in Slide Case

Does anyone know where the magnets are inside the slide case? Or even in the Tegra Note itself? Would love to try a DIY project, honestly can't bring myself to pay $30 for a cover that only protects the screen just because it has a few magnets in it.
Magnets are in the tablet. Get a piece of steel (like a pin) and see where it sticks to the tablet.
