Ok this may sound silly and i am new but can someone shed some light as to why there are two external antenna connectors on the Tytn 2. Theres the plastic flap on the back cover for the GPS antenna but if you take off the battery cover you can see that there are two ports next to each other. Are they both for GPS (two different types of connectors since they are different sizes) or is one for gps(hence the plastic flap revealing only one port) and the other for phone signal???
I've had a quick look around for an answer but haven't found much.....
Any help would be appreciated!!

According to page 92 of the service manual (available through links on the Kaiser wiki page) the other connector (WCON1) is a RF port and since it's not covered in the user manual and isn't accessible unless the battery cover is removed, it'll be for factory testing purposes only - ie don't mess with it! The other one is covered in both manuals and is, as you note, for a specific compatible HTC external GPS antenna.
My magnet that holds the pen fell out - luckily i didn't lost it. However, i cannot find the place where it should fit in. Does anyone have a picture or can tell me where that thing normally sits?
Thanks!

A small piece of metal fell out which is magnetic. The stylus doesnt hold alone any more....
Any idea where that thing sits ?
Does anyone have this case yet? I already ordered it, but I have no idea if it will work with the N7's magnet to wake feature.
You would think it would since Google is selling it, but I dunno. If it doesn't - It would have been nice for them to tell us about the feature so we could hold off on ordering cases.
Good question! I'd really like to know this as well. I thought someone on here said they had already received their case from Google.
If it doesn't just go to a crafts store and pick up some a role of sticky magnet tape. Cut a very tiny circle and adhere it to the lid where the sensor will be on the device.
Problem solved.

Awesome, I didn't know magnetic tape existed / was so readily available.

Thats a brilliant suggestion thanks. Do you know if the polarity was A or B?
Ill have to do this if a magnet isnt in the cover. easy fix!
ugh. There's no magnet case. The magnets are there to hold the pogo pins to the dock. It's how pogo pins work. If it were a cable how else would it stick to the pins? The sleep feature is in case you want to turn off the screen while charging or playing music, or if it were possible for a MHL dock.

As reasonable as your argument is, have you seen where the magnetic spot is? Its a few inches above the pogo pins from what I've read

I do believe pogo pins work via spring contacts, not magnetism.

Yep, that is exactly how they work, as seen in the Galaxy Nexus landscape dock.
Though the positioning of the magnetism sensor on the Nexus 7 seems to be rather odd, bottom left...(probably just internal spacing constraints though). It would make a bit more sense for it to be on the right side, but that's probably just me.

After some testing and questions on my you tube video of the screen off/on behavior there seems to be some dependence on the type of magnet used. Those soft flexible magnets like some refrigerator magnets don't seem to work. I don't know if its the type of material that makes them ineffective or the strength. Magnetic tape might not work.

The "spot" is actually right where the pogo pins are. Maybe towards the top of the pogo pin area but certainly not inches away.

Hi all,
I think someone has already mentioned this idea in any post.
It's about connecting a flash drive via otg cable and pin it at the backside of the tablet.
Since a flash drive should not make any problems combined with a magnet there's only one thing left.
You need a thin metal plate or another magnet in the back of the tablet (which isn'T really a problem neither).
My only question is whether I can throw away my tablet after adding a magnet at the backside or pinning another one on there? Is there anything that can be damaged in my N10?
Or can you think of another comfortable way to use a flash drive with the tablet? A cheaper one than buying a wireless HDD?
Thanks for your answers and suggestions
I'd probably use double-sided tape to keep the flash drive in place instead of a magnet.

That would of course work, too. But touching it all the time will just go on your nerves. On top of that you'll have the dirtiest tablet, because a rest of the glue will stay there...

There are 2 metal plates under that cover on the back. Could try them, but I'm not sure what they are

I believe they are shielding for the speakers, as seen in the teardown here:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/wordpress/2012/11/16/google-nexus-10-take-apart-first-look
Now, do we have anyone brave enough (not me) to attempt to add a microsd card slot behind that back cover
I think its no good idea to pin a magnet on the speakers...
Will there be any problems with the battery if you insert a samll metal plate next to it to pin the flash drive at?
Is there any problem with the magnetic field? This Li-Ions shoudln't feel anything, so why not?
i'm sure a magnetic field on the battery is fine... just as the Palm touchstone connected via magnetic coil on battery cover as with any other wireless charging device
Yes, and thinking of all the smart covers/cases etc. you'll see they just generate a magneticfield everywhere on the tablet and there is no problem ... of course it isn't that strong but thinking of a flash dirve's mass i won't need such a strong magnet...
Thanks for your answers, I'll just try it out when my tablet finally arrives

Hello,
When I buy a Wallet Case for my Nexus6, do I have to consider buying a wallet with an opening on the Wireless Charging point (The M Symbol) ? Like this one.
Will the Wireless Charging work if there is no opening ?
This one doesn't have that opening.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
The center of the coil is about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom, so in a way it is exactly opposite the dimple.
I use a Ringke SLIM which is solid on the back and have no issues with Qi charging, other than the need to skew the phone bit high on the charger to center up the coils.
If it'll charge through a Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx (and it does...), then you have nothing to worry about.
Hurry up and HIDE the ugly M logo.
Hello,
I need a Nexus6 Wallet with cut-offs for camera, power & volume buttons, 2 speakers, charger & audio ports, Moto Logo (not necessary). Do you know any Wallets that meets these requirements ? For most wallets, the cut-off for power & volume buttons won't be there. There will be buttons instead.
What about the Magnet Flap like this ?
Will it be dangerous for the data ?
Thanks.

It shouldn't be able to harm your data in any way. The storage isn't magnetic these days. It might harm any credit cards you put in it though if you put them in the wrong way. Spigen even includes a note about that telling you which way the magnetic strip should go.
Looks like a good wallet case to be honest. The first one I've seen with a magnetic closure as well as cutouts for both speakers. Kind of want one myself now.

Good to hear that it helped you. I'm also looking for a similar one, but with cutout for the Power and Volume buttons in additional. I'm not going to store my cards in the phone wallet anyway.
Hello,
I have a question regarding this kind of Wallet. I am very doubtful, whether the Power & Volume Buttons on the case will damage the actual Power & Volume Buttons on the phone. I feel that it would be safer if I could press those buttons on the phone with my finger, as the buttons on the Wallet Case may be in a wrong position. What is your opinion about this ? Anyone having such problems ?
Thanks.

I've been using this case for 2 months now, and I'm not entirely happy with it.
The protection is excellent, also the buttons are perfectly aligned so no risk there. It's just easy to press the wrong one.
The main problem is that this case is really, REALLY bulky and heavy (keep in mind that I'm not new to phablets, I've been using them exclusively for 3 years now), because of the flat back. Also, the leather is wearing out quite a lot at the corners.

I'm not sure, actually, haven't searched yet for a replacement. I'd suggest to look for a wallet case that follows the curved back of the phone.

You are right. But I think that can be only found in a Back Cover Protector (Bumper). I think all the wallets that I have seen are flat at the back side.

Yes , I remember it is curvy at the back side. But too much expensive in my place (India). It is around 3 times the price of that Spigen Wallet S. It might be good quality, but I can buy a phone for that price Also another disadvantage with Stilgut is that it doesn't cover (protection) the top and bottom at all. No magnetic closure etc.

Well, as I said, the protection is excellent with the Spiegen. Some pictures, so you can judge by yourself:

This one has a curvy back, with cutouts for all ports. But the top and bottom side of the phone are still open. Actually, there is no perfect wallet or case

No, there's no such thing as a perfect case
I wouldn't mind if the top and bottom of the phone are less protected. Most important thing is the screen, and I don't want to use a screen protector.
