70 $ for just a charging dock..you must be kidding.
i don't need dhmi out or syncing in my bedroom

I tend to agree that Dell's dock price is a little nuts, or at least the solution is a little overboard if all you want to do is charge the phone on a nightstand in a way where you can see the screen.
I'll post more details on what I am doing with this later, but this thread seemed like a nice thread to at least post a pic of my contraption, especially considering there's already a token reference to an Apple product.
I had an iPad dock lying around the house that I have NEVER used because my iPad is always in a case. Before anyone makes any Apple jokes, I'm an Android guy through and through now, but the iPad was a gift, and it actually does do a nice job for light internet browsing. Great for the commode, LOL.
Anyway, I had some fun last night with the iPad dock, a dremel, some JB weld, a can of spray paint and, of course, a Streak USB cable. It's pretty rough. The connector moved a little on me before it dried all the way, but it still works perfectly, and the phone isn't crooked as a result. I could make it much cleaner looking on a second try, but whatever, it does the job.
More on how I made it an automated night time solution later, but here are a couple of pics:

How dare you call my precision-engineered work of art "dodgy"!
LOL. It's all good. Cost me no money, and evening of messing around, and one more reason for the wife not to understand me.
HA HA!

Looks nice Spleisher glad you could accomplish it, love those home projects.
To the Original poster, I really like the motorola looking dock aesthetically even more than the Dell dock, doubt they'd make one that sexy but I hope to get the dell branded dock for the holidays.

There's some portable radio / internet radio thingy on sale in the U.S. that also uses a pdmi connector (and has a dock) I can't remember the name of it though.

Spleisher - I love it. Great work!!!

Thanks. It was fun. I could make it much more clean if I had it to do over again, but it works perfectly, so it's cool. The best part about it is the tasker profile for automatically turning it into a clock at night.
Anyway, one more reason for my wife to think I am a nut

Hi was wondering if anyone has tried using a galaxy tab dock, as a charging station as it has a pdmi connection ?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

soz i may be wrong but i looked at the samsung leed in tesco and it is different

The Galaxy Tab lead should work, I have read in several places that the streak's connector is a standard pdmi as is the tab's

You're not wrong, the Galaxy uses another proprietary connector

its a one sided job inside the plug go in to tesco and unplug the galaxy on demo its ok the alarm dont go off lol shame as the leed is only 15 quid

Yeah sorry I just read on mydellmini site someone has both the Streak &the Galaxy Tab. He states that no they do not work.
The question now is which is standard pdmi, Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak or are neither ?

prob find none are standared or how elce would they rip you off lol

[MOD] Original Nexus S Earphones

Never felt comfortable with in-ear headset that came with Nexus S, I don't really fancy the style and comfortable just with earbuds as from time to time I want my friend to listen to the sound quality of Voodoo+FLAC in Nexus S.
Instead of the original headset, I used the one that came with my previous Motorola Milestone if I'd like to listen to music and having the option of receiving call through it......but...I needed more juice out of it. My ears and brain have been accustomed to the sound of YUIN PK3 which I have but that earbuds has no mic.

To combine what I need sans the Kawahara cable, this is what I did to the original Samsung Nexus S headset:
Pried open the original headset
De-soldered the cable
Pried open my YUIN PK3 earbuds
Soldered back the cable
Voila!
Eargasm..... (I know......I always say that)

That's classy, throw some flacs on there and enjoy it you deserve it. Wish i was good with small wires.

Pretty cool. I also suck with small wires so I can't do it.
Off topic as well but, what case is that?

Yep..it is really small and I got a very shaky hands, I can't even draw a straight line slowly. I used helping hand to do that.
This is the review of the case:

Inspired me to do the same to my Klipsch S4s. Thanks!

Why do their headphones look so cheap

With the help of your write-up, I just did this exact mod and it turned out great. Thanks for the idea!

Where'd you get the red and white earbud foam?

I bought it from online shop in China, there are couple seller who sell similar on ebay, just search for "white/red earbud foam"...but I have yet to see the doughnut style color foam

Just thought I'd update on this mod.
So earlier I reported that I had replaced the cord on my Klipsch S4 headphones with the stock nexus buds.
Worked great until the stock cord had problems with the strain relief and the connection.
Overall, to anybody who uses their headphones daily, this mod isn't worth it. The stock cord is just too cheap.

I believe I'd run into the same problem with the Klipsch wires failing. If I were to get the S4s again, I would get the reference series. Already have some extra comply tips, work fantastic.
I've been looking at picking up a pair of X10is for years. I just can't justify it if they are going to break. That and they don't have android integration.

Hello
Hello, I want to ask how dismantled the Samsung original headset? With what tool? And then they can be closed or have already broken? I am interested in whether threaded or glued?
thank you

I used long nose pliers to open it, it was glued, it can be closed again if you do it nicely, just glue it back with power glue.
I sold my NS, now using GN with the same headset...still good today.

Nice work! Gotta try with my Grado's.

That looks really good, I love that cable I might just man up and try this myself.

How to "Brand" a USB cord?

My company is sponsoring an event in October and I was trying to come up with some low-cost, tech giveaway (all attendees will be getting a branded bag and this would go inside). I know a lot of people forget/loose/break their USB charging cords or could just use an extra one. So I've found some i-cables and micro USB but I'm trying to figure out a way to brand them to make people think of me whenever they use them. Thoughts/Suggestions are appreciated.

I would think the best way would be the stickers that you wrap around the cable and just stick it to itself, like the way they attach safety info or the way current manufactures put their brands on them. You know what I mean? It looks like a flag on it.. I would think that would be the best way. Any other way would seem too small to me. It would also be cheaper than other ways. I would opt for plastic and not just paper.

Or maybe you gen get your name embossed on it.. The flags may get torn but the etching will never go off..

I have gotten these before at several events and they can take a sticker. I am sure their are place that will even do it for you. Retractable USB cords.
On a side note, I use them a lot. They have stickers on them from where I got them. And I haven't looked at the stickers once. Couldn't tell you who gave them to me. LOL

Maybe put some kind of branding on the side that faces upwards on the usb cable? I can't be the only one who always tries to put them in upside down, and people would be sure to read the branding every time they use it.

Also if you managed to track down a "gimmick-y" usb cable for cheap enough to use promotion-ally it's definitely worth a little extra cost.
Maybe one of the extra short ones or one that clicks together as a wristband or something that fits on their keys. A private school I checked out gave out keychain flash drives with their name on it, I never went but I'll never forget where I got it since it's always on my keys.

We decided we will be exchanging the cord for the person's email address and answer to 3-4 questions that will allow us to send them a quote. So, once they have the cord, if they ever look at the name it's an added bonus.

That is a great idea. Not only will they always be seeing my logo but it will actually benefit them (being able to tell which side is up).

Because we are already paying for the branded bags that every attendee will get, this has to be super low cost. I was able to get 100 micro and 100 i-cords for about $120 from China, maybe some of them will work
Thank you everyone for the input.

DIY Nexus 7 Portrait Dock

Currently in the planning phase, only a rough draft has been made for it to show what it may look like when finished, it is not scaled or optimized correctly yet. The end result might end up with 4x speakers instead of 2 but that also depends on what type of speakers I end up using "I am leaning on Logitech ones at the moment".
Specifications
LED Lighting in the Nexus sign
1x 3.5mm Headphone Jack Female (front)
2x USB (back)
1x Mini usb (back)
1x 3.5mm Headphone Jack Male (under where you put the tablet)
1x Micro USB (under where you put the tablet)
2x Speakers (Might end up making them Bluetooth speakers to kill off that extra audio jack)

How im gonna build it is that I am going to submit the final design once completed to a rabid prototyping company and have them 3d print the shell out for me, I then will add the electronics that I will salvage from cheap devices and solider them together inside the shell.
If anyone knows how I can get that soft rubberized feeling from the back of the tablet please let me know, id rather go with that type of finish.
"My friend just gave me an idea on how that I might also be able to add landscape mode without modifying the design". Ill have to do a little bit of extra planning later on how I am going to achieve this.

If you use something like that, might be wise to *not* spray it on the inside of the dock where your tablet goes in. It might cause some unwanted friction against the Nexus 7.

Along with the drip stuff there are quite a few spray paint type texture paints you could try. The local big box store should have a few different options

Very cool design. I will certainly be following this. Have you picked out the company that would be prototyping this for you? I have an idea that I wanted to do myself but I couldn't find a company to do it.

I like this idea a lot. What I was thinking would be perfect for a shop/garage setup. Hope this comes together for you.

They make some impressive things.

Talked to a friend today about some design plans and he brought up the possibility of adding a few features such as making it wall mountable putting a rechargeable battery in it and a few other things not worth mentioning so I decided I am going to release the plans once completed so everyone else can build their own.
I'm doing this because of the amount of good feedback I have gotten from the 3d community I'm part of at deviantart.

Magnetic Charge/Sync cable

So it has already started, people are loosing and damaging their cradles already. This is going to create a need for a new cradle or another way to charge and sync the unit.
Ever since I first opened the box to my gear I wondered WTF Samsung was thinking with this cradle. There has to be a better way, and hopefully I have found one.
On the back of the watch are 2 small screws. My goal is to use 2 tiny magnets to hold a cable to the back side of the watch via these screws. This will make the cable MUCH smaller and no longer require a massive case to be carried around.
Current status:
Contacted a few companies and have a few different connectors coming in to see what will connect best.
PCB design will all depend on the connector we go with
V1 case design is already started for the housing. I will be printing a few samples out with a makerbot in a week or so and will post up
I hope to have an entire v1 test unit done within the next week or 2. I would have this done earlier but I have a massive fluid mechanics midterm tomorrow then will be heading out of town for the rest of the week for work. I should be back in town on Saturday and will be sitting in front of the makerbot and a soldering iron all day. Please stay tuned for updates.
Also all criticism is welcome, tell me what you think, the only thing I ask is to make it constructive. If you think this is a stupid idea because it will not work for some reason, let me know and why. I am a mechanical engineer with a concentration in structural analysis. I know only what I have taught myself about electronics so I admit I dont know as much as many others.

***UPDATES***​
10/31/2013
Currently working on getting sync capabilities working. I have a feeling Samsug did 1 of 2 things
1. Chip requirement like apples cables to allow sync
2. Power on data line
Either way this weekend I should be able to get the sync feature working or at least have parts on order to do so. First run on the spring loaded contact pins were pretty good, but I am going to need something longer. Once the case goes over the PCB board they will no longer be able to connect with the back of the watch. Here is what I am working with at the moment.

Points for effort !

Got the 1st set of spring pins connectors in. They work but will not be long enough once a case is designed for the unit. Back to ordering more $0.08 1/16" pins!

Try to check the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493181&page=5
Pins which You found seems to be very nice and will work well, but regarding the magnetic mounting - check if the screws are magnetic - if they are stainless steel (which they almost for sure are) they will not be magnetic... so this will not hold... the other issue is if the watch has sensors inside they may not like the strong magnetic field...

Can't wait to be able to buy one lol

Depends, not all stainless steel is the same. Depends on the blend. Some are quite magnetic.
