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..

Update:OK, I know that if I connect pins A and E, that is the The DGND and Vcc (+5v) that I'll get my phone to charge. However I noticed that if I short pin D and and E, that is the +5v and the USB - data, that it will charge as AC, not USB (as shown on TBattery).
This is weird because it should be pin B that I should short, and I should be doing it with the Ground.
SO how is this possible, when I'm shorting a data pin and not the sense pin?!?!?!!
Please help, I don't want to set it up to burn out.
Hey I bought a car mount on ebay. It works as a loudspeaker but won't charge my phone.
If i send it back it I'll still be out $16, I'd rather try fixing it.
I have a question though.

According to this image I have a wire on bins 6, 4, and 2 which make sense for the speaker.
I wonder why though pins A, D, and E are connected. I would imagine for charging I would only need A and E.
Can anyone help me out?
Hi guys!
Is it possible to connect and charge the phone through the back connectors?

My USB port seems to be broken and I was wondering if there is a way to modify a cable so that it can connect through the back connectors (which are supposed to be there because of the kick-ass car mount HTC was going to sell with the HD2)? I have seen a thread here of a guy doing it but I can't find it.
..or you can just use those External Battery charger but much better to get an Extra battery
I already ordered an external charger but I was wondering if this back terminal could be used.
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:

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.

Thanks.
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
