so i just modded my xoom standard dock to include usb in what do you guys think
It wasnt hard it took about 30 minutes but i should mention the audio port on the stand doesnt work any more
all you have to do is open it up using by unscrewing it from under the grip pad on the bottom
then switch the usb cable with the micro usb cable already attatched to the dock make a hole on bottom half of dock
put everything back together and your done

Thats how it should of come factory.

do you ever feel like the dock is poorly designed and that port is going to break or damage your zoom with how much play is in it?
nah not really it seems pretty solid to me
Good work..instructions?

Does it break audio out functionality or does that go through bluetooth like in my old Nexus One dock? I would love to do this, but I use the audio out frequently.
Thanks in advance!
very cool! was wondering how possible this was. I think ill do mine this weekend.

it gets rid of the audio out function on the dock, but i just plug my speakers in using the headphone jack on the top of the xoom not as pretty but it make the dock much more functional for me.
usb cable
how did you get a usb cable in such an oddly shaped hole? Or am I an idiot?
Never mind I just got it up and running.

I bought a micro usb to female usb adapter and I've tried using Faux's kernal, Da_G's .42 kernel and Bullet 2.9 but plugging in the adapter with any usb does not seem to work.. is there any app I need or like how do I verify that it works?

Nope it should work right away. What are you trying to connect? Also, it's possible that it's a bad adapter.

YOU NEED AN ACTUAL OTG CABLE, NOT JUST AN ADAPTER.
Yes all caps, this has been stated time and time again, some people have had luck with the i9100 cables , some have not, you need a cable that works with either the t989 or Hercules, but, I have tested one that was made for the Xoom and it worked as well ...
Well I bought it online and I'm assuming it was made for OTG because what else could you possibly use one for? idk maybe there's another use for it but I can't think of one.
I read something online about shorting the 4 pin to 5 or something, could that work?
And I've tried connecting 3 different flash drives

Yes that could work, that is usually what a OTG cable does, but depends on the phone, the regular adapters are used, to use an Mini USB cable/charger on a Micro port , I use them all the time, because I have dozens of older chargers ....
Ok so I ripped open the adapter and the build quality was too good so I had to just rip the heads off lol so now I have a micro usb end with no wires connected and a female usb with no wires on it. Can I take 5 thin wires and connect the appropriate pins on the micro usb end to the corresponding pins on the female one?
If anyone has a guide to do this, it'd be appreciated

Thanks I tried working it for about half an hour but i couldn't get it to work. I'll just have to order one that is specifically for OTG.
Just as a reference for other noobs like me, the wire MUST be otg for it to work

can anyone post the pinout for the usb cable for note 2? ive been trying to use it to odin my gs2 with no success, only to realize the new cable seems to be missing one of the metal pieces at the microusb end
would anyone mind checking out their usb cable for me and tell me if it all looks normal on their end?

I just looked at mine. Pin 4 looks to be missing but USB to MicroUSB read out is:
1:1
2:2
3:3
4:5
With 1 and 4 on USB side power and 2 and 3 data. 4 is used as ID pin on MicroUSB side. When 4 is open, no iD and cable is normal. Grounded pits device into USB OTG host. Certain resistance values put phone into car mode or dock mode etc depending on phone and on resistsmce value.

Most likely to save a few pennies. The metal costs money, and since it would not be connected to anything anyway (it would be an open pin) there is no need for it.
If you want to see some awesome pin outs. Electodroid has a lot if them

Might make it easier to understand since there are pics.

I'm wondering, if I'd want to solder something to the USB port (internally of course) and the attached device is not connected, would I still be able to use the port as before(charging, etc.)? Provided I would not use > (IIRC) 5V together, could they be use simultaneously?
Why I'm asking:
I found an old OCZ Trifecta (SD to USB-Adapter with MicroSD slot) laying around. Stripping the thing down reveals a really thin logicboard, which fits almost perfectly under the normal back cover.
So I thought, if I could wire the USB connector of this adapter to the internal one, I could have additional storage. I don't know if this specific adapter is SDHC compatible, but since there are newer ones around, I could get one of those.
Thus I'm asking for advice:
a) technically possible?
b) if yes, how hard is it for a semi-newb?
c) potential trouble I should be aware of? Not meaning loss of guarantee, more about possible hardware destruction.

In theory if you rigged it up to work like usb otg and charging then you might be able to get it to work. I think it takes a resistor to trigger it.

No you wouldn't need a resistor, you just need to short pin 4 and 5 together on the micro usb side. That's what makes it an OTG cable. Check out the picture I attached. That should be the wiring you need to make it work. Refer to the link below.
http://tech2.in.com/how-to/accessor...sb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone/319982
In theory it should work. The hardest part is attaching wires to the pins of the micro usb connector. It so [email protected]#$ing tiny... not the easiest thing to do. Unless the pins of the connector goes though the other side of the board, then you can solder onto the solder points itself. That should be a lot easier. Any potential problems? You could screw up your micro usb connector... then you might not even be able to charge it if you lose that...
Good luck. I would be interested to know if you succeed.
BTW Micro SDXC 64GB in FAT32 works in my Acro S running CM10 with Nova Kernel. You can gain a lot of storage!
is it possible to charge mobile while it is in OTG mode?
Thanks for your inputs.
According to this video it doesn't seem to be too easy, guess I'll need to wait a few days for a buddy, I'm not yet skilled enough for such delicate work.
If somebody has more skill and faith in his/her talents, you should be able to get an adapter for <5€ practically everywhere.

Thank you this is what i was looking for
My Galaxy Nexus isn't charging or connecting to my computer. I've tried different USB ports, wall adapters, and USB cords and nothing. I don't really want to replace the charging port. What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Delete this thread!
I accidentally put this in the wrong section! Thanks!
Check the charging port for Lent and stuff with a little pin or something..
That's what happened to me in the past
I cleaned it out and start to work again

Of what cujo said didn't work you have no option but to replace the port or buy an external battery charger.

In a pinch you can rig up a temporary charger using the POGO pins on the right side of the phone. Just wire the corresponding red/black wires from a cut up USB cable to the correct pins (you can find the pinouts online). The trick is getting the wires to stay on the pins - you can try packing tape. I know this is kind of a dirty solution, but it will work in an emergency until you can replace the usb port.

Can you link me to the part I need to replace! And a video of how? And how expensive is the part in question? My Galaxy Nexus isn't my main phone but I just wanted it working again.

Well, there is no guarantee that it is the USB board - but you can purchase one on ebay for under $10. The part includes a usb jack as well as a ribbon connector that connects the jack to the main board. There is, however, a chance that you have a faulty main board, in which case, replacing the USB port is not going to fix your problem but the only way to really test that is to buy the part and try it out.

That's for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, I don't remember which one you said you had but you'll want to be sure to get the right one.

Are you using the original charger that came with the phone? It's the only thing i have luck with.

I ordered the new port! But I tried the pogo port charging and it didn't seem to work.
