Awesome, I look forward to it!
Definitely something I wouldn't mind chucking in the bag. I do love to snap pics but don't have the money/patience/time to be a pro right now, so £10 for some 'better' quick pics of wildlife at my local pond via my HD2 would do the trick over a grands worth of digital SLR equipment. At least for now!

Here is a thread already discussing this. Sample pics inside.
Hey - I wanted to show off my latest 3D printed dock, this time for the nexus 10.
I borrowed the design ideas from what I saw posed on here and tried to build off of it.
I think the one unique thing about it is that it is made of glazed ceramic instead of that usual plastic. It is very study and has some nice heft, while keeping 3D printing costs down.
I designed it to be able to keep the nexus docked while in my folio case, since I will snatch it off the stand before heading out the door. However, this will dock with or without the case. (FYI this is my case: http://www.roocase.com/Slim-Fit-Veg...--Black-rooCASE/cat-p/c1000036/p10518806.html)
It is designed for the standard POGO magnetic cable.
I just wanted to get thoughts on this if anyone would be interested in one or what questions you might have about it.
I finally got together my shapeways site where you can order the dock if you're interested.
Let me know what you think, or feel free to post in the thread, thanks!
http://shpws.me/rY5i
Thanks again to everyone in this forum for the great ideas!
I guess no one, huh?
I am a little late to the dock party...
Your idea is very good but, in general, nexus10 forum is quite dead.

Agree. Unfortunate really...and surprising. I've had 3 of these in my family and none had any issues whatsoever. They are all in use and still running pretty darn good! I've compared to newer tablets but this really is still a great tablet. Not sure why this forum is so dead.

That's probably the reason, no issues = no reason to search for a forum to find fixes.
Very nice dock.
Would you share your 3D-files? STEP, STL?

Amen to this! There are two reasons for a dead forum on XDA: long abandoned device, or no issues to complain about/develop solutions to!

Hey! Sorry for the delay, I've been pretty busy with work.
I finally got around to setting up the storefront through Shapeways, and have a link to the stand you can buy directly from there:
http://shpws.me/rY5i
I only selected options for the ceramic material, since plastics would have sent the price over $100.
Let me know what you guys think and if anyone really wants to be a baller and get it made in plastic, I'll add in those options, so just let me know.
I have a just one other tip: I sanded the plastic housing of the POGO cable down just a bit with some sand paper and put a piece of electrical tape on it so when I wedge it in, it stays put on docking and undocking.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions.
thanks!
Realized I bought a fake galaxy s5 earlier today. I didn't know there were so good fakes out there now, I haven't kept up with cell phones since the HTC EVO 3D. I'm mad, I bought it for $325 . I am so ****ing pissed at myself for being so stupid. I should have come on here first and done some research but I was dying for a new phone since I have been on the Nokia Lumia 900 for the past year and its on its last legs, saw the 325 price tag on CL and jumped on it thinking I got a good deal. Never again will I let impulses get the best of me. This is more of a rant, but also here is this guys information in case any of you are in the Central Florida region (this is a copy and paste of a CL ad I just made warning other users on CL):
This mother****er sold me a fake Galaxy S5. His ads are the following links:
links are blocked because I have less than 10 posts
His phone number is: 7862021013
And he calls himself T. He is a tall black man that drives a sedan. He will ask you to meet him in front of Walmart on Turkey Lake Rd.
DO NOT BUY THE GALAXY S5 or any phones from him, no matter how low he is going. The S5 is 100% fake. Run CPU-ID app on phone and you will see that it does not have a Snapdragon process but an ARM Cortex old ass one. It also does not have 16gb memory but 1.7gb. Also if you look at the box you will notice that it says 3GB of RAM when the original Galaxy S5 really has 2GB. This man is a lie and a cheat. Do not get conned like I have. I gave him $325 and am stuck with a fake ass replica.
This is only fair warning to other CL users, I would hate to hear of others fall victim to this con.
**edit: Updated with pictures of the fake s5. I should have looked at the box itself more closely, right there it said 3GB RAM, Fell so stupid.

For $325 for an S5 you should expect it to be stolen, Broken, or bad IMEI. Or in this case fake. I NEVER use craglist anymore due to this happening to people with any & everything. I also Highly Recomend Swappa.com I see fakes sold ALL the time on Cragslist. I Usually send harassing texts about to them as well. lol.
But could you not tell it was fake? I know they have gotten better at making decent knock offs but usually at first glance of the front and or software / Screen I can tell easily.
That wretch, I feel for you! Just make sure when you get the S5 get the new one with more memory. Just chalk it up as a lesson learned, heck you have a little toy to play with now.

$325, really? Even if it were stolen / hot, he'd be selling it for more than that...

I didn't look at it very closely, like I said I haven't really been in the market for phones for awhile. I didn't realize the fakes are so much better than it used to be. I also did 0 research before buying and the thought of a fake one didn't occur, stupid me. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

Ya. I don't know what happened today, normally I'm very skeptical, but the dire need for a new phone got the better of me and I really wanted the S5...thought i hit gold with this deal...I would rather have donated or gambled that money away then give it to that conning ****er on CL. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.

Orlando Police are jokes. They don't do squat EVEN if you give them all the evidence they need. I only have his phone number, I don't have a pic of him or his car plate. I should have been more skeptical when I saw him take out a burner phone...so stupid. I also put up pictures just now to show you all what I got.
The first giveaway is that the earpiece should be black and not silver.
So sorry you got screwed over man.

You have a phone number and a CR add, they could easily find him.
Dude, be honest here, you were buying a new phone for $325 from a dude in a parking lot. You KNEW you were likely buying stolen property and didn't care. Your not calling the police has nothing to do with their competence .. or lack there of.

Doesn't hurt to call and talk to PD.
Are you sure ?
Hi, Sad to hear that... But you 100% sure that its fake ? did you factory reset it once before use ? coz everything else its pretty perfect did you check camera before buy like selected focus n hdr ??
That's a legit looking fake man. Few minor appearances should've given it away. Software was a dead giveaway that if was fake. Sorry you got scammed. It sucks there are some scum in this world

No man, I just thought I got a good deal lol. 325 is still a lot of money for a stolen/fake phone. I have gotten good deals like that in the past before, and have met ppl in a parking lot, so this wasn't very off to me. But I think I probably will call them tomorrow.

Ya, you can tell just from the CPU-ID pictures I have there, the processor isn't the real one and theres only 2GB of usable memory...100% fake. Also the outside cosmetics are off. I wish I had researched this before I bought it. Stupid me. And no I didn't check the camera, I was actually in a rush to leave cuz it was 96 degrees out here today and I was sweating balls lolz. Next time I'll meet people in a starbucks or something and take time to look over what I'm buying
For me the first thing that popped was the led flash. In every fake cell phone it has that look/texture whereas in original phones it has a totally different look. For the author of this thread, this is something to be learned. Even if the phone is sealed in a box, open it, check it, look carefully at the exterior and then look in the phone info. If the seller does not want you to open the box simply pass, there are enough phones out there.

Well lesson learned. Be glad it's only for $325. Please call the police and see if they can do anything. Thanks BTW, I just downloaded CPU-Z, nice app, everyone should use it when buying any used phone.

Hi. I asked Wonda mobile. They didn't have it but followed up and obtained one fo me. It was about $125.
It was shipped together with Mate 10. I should get it in about 5 days. Will let you know how it turns out.
Ah I could have asked them to send it with my phone when I ordered from them.

I'm still not completely convinced Wonda is sending me the official Envizion 360 Camera. Although the image of it they sent me looks a lot like it. However the associated box did not have the word Envizion
on it. Everything else looks like Huawei's ad for it. Maybe the model is indicated elsewhere on the box where I couldn't see. I'm inquiring about it. Hopefully everything works out!

I received phone and camera. The delivered camera is called the Huawei 360 Panoramic VR Camera. Model CV60. I looked it up on internet and the specs seem nearly the same as the Envizion 360 except that, from what I read, the Envizion is 30g and the CV60 model is 50g. Maybe that info was not correct or different materials used or they are truly different devices. All else, as far as I can tell, was the same including resolution and performance. Maybe the word Envizion was used when applying for patent in US. Also, I just tried it and it seems to work as shown in a youtube video about the Envizion.
So it seems like it is the same or equivalent. Regardless, I'm fine with this. If anyone knows more please feel free to chime in!
PS. I haven't had a chance to play with the Mate 10, but, one thing for sure, the camera does a nicer job than Mate 9 in lower light. Also like running navigation from fps. A nice touch! (no pun intended...)
So Wonda Mobile sell the camera as an optional add on when you buy a Mate 10 but they also sell it separately if you ask them. £109 plus DHL shipping.
Anywhere in Europe that also sells it?

I pre-ordered mine and received that camera as a bundle package. Currently trying to sell that locally as it's no use to me, my recording skills are so poor that I rarely record anything. As I 've seem some Polish re-sellers have that camera in offer.

Sorry for the hijack. This is driving me nuts though.
I received the Huawei 360 VR camera as part of a bundle with the Mate 10 today (Vodafone Australia).
I cannot get it to work though, and I'm not sure if it is the camera, or the fact that the rom upgraded once I hit wifi.
When plugged in, the camera light comes on for a few seconds. Nothing shows up in the camera app though.
ALP-L09 Phone running rom v8.0.0.128 (C346).
Anyone else having this issue?

I got mine from Trendy phone. They sent me a second hand one and I paid full price. Really annoyed. Buyer beware.
So before you ask me this is not my S Pen I saw this on Twitter.
Do you think the Pen just broke like this or was damaged by the user? Has anyone had any issues with their S Pen (such as breaking or the end coming off)?
Uh oh, I sure hope this isn't a common thing. I just started messing around with all the new things the S pen can do. This makes me nerveous to even pull it out.
never had a issue with a s-pen more than likely user error
Learn how to use it properly.
I have been drawing and using it for almost 2 weeks now, it works like a charm.

I work in a national carrier phone store, and our demo model Note 9 was installed by our inventory manager. The S-pen broke while she was installing the display, it snapped the clicker off.

How? For that to have happened the S Pen would have had to been sticking out and then obviously of it gets hit it could snap off
Just Happened to me too
Just happened to me too,I can see this happening pretty easily. The end has a very thin plastic housing for a part that gets a moderate amount of tension. Broke off for me with almost no effort. I called Samsung and they denied a replacement since it is physical damage. $50 for a new one.

Pull yourself together for goodness sake! S-pens have been around for years and are well made though like all such tech will break if abused.
Knee jerk reactions to nothing....

Might be a very random thing. I have used the spen alot, mainly testing screen protectors and fooling around with the new features. My spen is still solid. I have dropped a few times as well.
Sent from my Samsung SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs
S-Pen is very solid. Our last display for the Note 8, someone snapped the S-pen clicker off that one too. So it's probably just spiteful thing. Customers being customers.
Same thing happened to mine yesterday while I was trying to pull it out of the phone. The rest of the pen got stuck inside the phone. I tried putting the top back on and now it won't pop out at all. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Thinking of leaving in there until I can order another one. Smh.

Update, Samsung offered a free replacement. They sent me a shipping label to return the broken one.
.....Nope
I had several Note devices and not once have I replaced a S pen, I haven't switched out the tip. Not sure how you could damage it anyway besides the obvious. It feels light enough why incredible Hulk it ??
Mine broke after 3 days...
It was a little wobbly out of the box. Didn't think much of it. I've had all Notes since the 2, never had one break on me and used them each for over a year. On day 3 of the Note 9, I was just using my ginger nail to pull it out and it just fell off. Wasn't using much pressure. I take care of my electronics. I went to you YouTube and saw that it had happened to others. One guy stated that he contacted Verizon and they sent him a new one. I called AT&T. It wasn't as easy as his, but after a few trys and calling Samsung directly, AT&T gave me a 50 dollar credit. The actual cost was 54 with taxes, but it was close enough. I'm just worried that this is going to be an ongoing thing. Samsung was great and offered to fix it immediately (they sent a box with return postage) but said the carrier should have fixed it with no issues. So. I called AT&T again and this time they took care of it. They wanted to replace the whole phone, but I didn't want to go through setting it up again and asked for a credit. They agreed and I had a new one in about 4 days or so.
Just happened to me now, device is only 24 hours in hand purchased from Samsung. Anyone else get a free replacement from samsung?
