[Pic Request] USB port under wrist strap - Moto 360

Just wondering if anyone can post up some picture of the USB port under the wrist band. I see tons of pictures of adapters connected to the watch but im looking for a pictures of the pins locations inside the cutout for the wrist band.
Thanks in advance

This thread is intended to gather and organize the docks, chargers, and other accessories we have built for the Galaxy Nexus. (Sorry, but I got tired of digging through the "Der, which case shud I get, yo?" trash threads). Some of were frustrated with a lack of proper manufactured accessories, others love to tinker. Whatever the cause, I hope it serves as inspiration to others. I will try to keep it updated, but feel free to post any I missed. Here we go....

Heh looks good!
Great idea, now it will be easier to follow some of these threads rather than looking for them all individually.
I don't think this warrants its own thread so I'll stick it in here.
I was tired of my VZW Gnex slipperiness (I came from a Droid1) and I stumbled across this youtube.

I sprayed on a few clear coats of Plasti Dip on my battery cover and now it's really grippy. It also peels right off if I ever get tired of it.

I suppose we can start a tips & tricks section with that.
Updates....
Are there any accessories you would like to see, but don't exist, that idle hands could be working on, list them up here. Hopefully projects can collaborate and inspire one another.
Bump for coolness... Also pm'ing for a sticky.
good day.
Thank you, good Sir Chopper.
Updates and some reorganization. I also have some more of my own projects in the works...stay tuned.

I like the nice thread of all the stuff i might buy a car and desk dock
One thing i would like to work on is a case probaly an inexensive TPU case some how incorporate a fan in to it to keep the phone nice and cool when charging and working it to the bone.
I saw some special casing for a tablet that you can fit stuff into on youtube, maybe i could make my own.
I know there are usb powered fans like this and this. That's the easy part. The hard part will be making a heatsink for it to blow across. Just blowing on the back cover wont help much unless its a metal (thermally conductive) cover. But I'll roll it around my noggin' to see what I come up with...
OP here's a new USB charging dock llennium modified from the Nexus S desk dock.

Yupdates! A special one from me too!
I periodically seach for "Gnex + DIY" for new material for the workshop. Sometimes, I come across **** like http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-Bling-Diamond-Rabbit-Mirror-Hard-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/280915422107 . Thoughts?
That doesn't belong here
P.S. Great job on the thread :good:
This saved me hours of search. thanks!
I must say it's an honor to have my DIY dock included in this sticky. Thanks!
No prob. Without builders making the content, this would just be a catalog of....nuthin

Dock for S3 with slim case

I'm looking for an inexpensive charging dock for my T999 that will be compatible with my slim case because I'm hoping that having the phone semi vertical will resolve the issue I'm having with intermittent missed calls when it lays flat on my metal nightstand.
The case adds ~2mm side to side and ~2mm front to back, both measured at the base of the screen. Any functions beyond charging would be great (activating dock mode, extra ports, etc).
Thanks!
RND Power Solutions Deluxe Cradle / Desktop Docking Station for Samsung Galaxy S III
OK, next question. Just what is dock mode? I can't seem to find any pics, vids, or a decent description of it. The only info I can find seems to indicate that aftermarket apps are better than what Samsung gave us.

3D Printed a sync/charging cradle. Check it out.

I finally have access to a 3D printer where I work and was asked to throw test uses out for it and try to pull it to it's limits. We typically use it to print out models of the 3D art our designers make. It's awesome for that.
I used it to print this dock that someone designed and posted over at thingiverse. I think it came out great in black ABS plastic. Haven't slotted a USB cable in to it yet but will when I get home (no cables that fit it here in the office. It has a hole and slot to route the cable out the back. It holds the phone in portrait mode. I use the Ringke Slim case (which I don't recomend since it scratches the phone but hell, i already own it) and it seems to sit nicely in the dock. :good:
Gallery of cradle from various angles: http://imgur.com/a/3XaMq
What do you think. How would you change it?
Nice! I would add short side walls to keep the phone from falling over and out of the dock and would make a second one wider with a lower back for landscape mode. I would also think about building in a space for a QI charger coil and board inside the back plate to have it double as a wireless charger.
Improvements?
Perhaps have the back hollow and wide enough to slip the 'official' Wireless charging pad in, and also ones like the pURL=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-DT-900-Wireless-Charging-Plate/dp/B009WKGNB4]DT-900[/URL], and between the charger and phone be slim enough to actually charge the phone (most have a 5mm range)
Could you make me one? Only thing i would suggest is added small walls to the sides so it doesn't slide right off. Maybe make a variant with a space for a wireless charging puck?
Once the charger is in place it won't slide side to side.
That being said, i can find a charger that fits. The creator used one made by Nokia... Seems it would be more helpful to the community if he used a cheaper, easily attainable Monoprice or Amazon Basics cable.
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-WCP-300-Wireless-Charging/dp/B00C6VP03I
This should fit
I would lose the flat bottom allowing it to sit on irregular surfaces and also saving more materials. Looks great already though.

Modding the internal Wireless Charging QI pad.

I bought an internal Wireless Charging pad on eBay.
Picture of the item: http://i.imgur.com/bQcVYY9.jpg
When placed in my phone, the cover is very tight.
So I took 1 side of the receiver pad and it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/ldA3ETn.jpg
The side with the black squares is the side that faces the battery.
The black squares are not magnets. They seem to be some kind of metal (they stick to magnets.. )
Is there a special purpose for these plates? Like shielding the battery for the wireless charging signal??
I would like to remove them and just cover the rest of the pad with some tape.
Or is this not recommended?
those little squares are contacts that are supposed to place itself into the s3. It's a necessity since that's where the + and - are.
Haha! That is not what I meant. But thanks for pointing it out!
I marked it in this picture:
http://i.imgur.com/ldA3ETn.jpg?1
i think i know what that is.. it's probably what helps align the pad to the transmitter. transmitters have a magnet in the base to assist in aligning the phone (that's why there's a slight pull) when you place it close enough.
You can probably do without it.. but it just means you wouldn't be getting any assistance from the built in magnets.
That is probably it. Thanks!

do not remove them, that is a flexi magnet, it's very weak, but is needed for the induction to work, it also helps alight the receiver to the transmitter.

Super glued a Super Magnet to the back of the Moto 360...and now it won't charge!

Hi I just have a general, well more specific question, about the Moto 360 smartwatch. See, I have always liked using the Moto 360 with the watchbands detached. It just sits more comfortably in my hand and I would rather have a cool, smaller, lighter, and easier to use option aside from my actual smartphone. It's great for driving too because you can change the music and do simple tasks with one hand while the other is on the steering wheel (only at certain times of course). The only issue with this is I don't have a way to quickly pull out my watch and put it back in my pocket without too much of a fuss. People usually say to this: "Taking out your watch and putting it back in your pocket to do things? Why not use your phone?" So what I did was super glue a super magnet to the back of the watch and another to a belt clip. This way it can always be at my side when I need it. I can use it without the bands, seated comfortably in my hand, and when I don't need it I can slap it back onto my belt clip. So. The only issue with this whole situation is that the magnet super glued on the back of the Moto 360 prevents the Moto 360 charger, which I believe is some sort of magnetic device, from actually charging the device which makes this whole set up seem pointless. So I was hoping someone here would know a way to still charge the device or even better yet show me a better set up other than the magnets that I can use for my desired effect. Okay thank you guys for reading all of this and I hope someone can help me here.
I don't think there is really a way to do what you want without a lot of work. Wireless charging at this point in time struggles to get through thick phone cases let alone a magnet. I can't think of a good solution to do what you want either.
Well someone had suggested I use Velcro straps, which I think might work but how annoying would the sound if constant ripping off Velcro straps be throughout the day? (Not rhetorical) I just duct taped the magnet to the back of the watch is that way when I need to charge it all I have to do it take it off. I'm hoping Velcro would be a little less tedious. Any opinions between those two options?
What you may be able to do is get a fast boot usb cable as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/accessories/cradles-moto360-usb-conection-sale-t2901110 so you can charge it, but it will take some modification to the watch itself.

So the fast boot cables si charge the Moto 360? That might really work. See in all of the information I found about fast boot cables, none if them mentioned it the cable actually charges the watch. Would you happen to know how fast or slow the charging us compared to the standard charger? (The standard charger is pretty fast for me)

As I don't actually own a cable (to scared and broke to try it if it damages the watch), I can't speak from experience, but according to Root Junky http://www.rootjunky.com/moto-360-adapter-usb-cable/it does. It also includes a video on how to create said cable. I did a lot of research before ultimately deciding it was not worth it. However it may be a good solution to your problem.
why not velcro the watch to the magnet , that way when you need to charge it all you gotta do is pull it apart, that way you can keep the magnet with your belt buckle or clip that the magnet attaches to, you could even cut a hole in the middle of the velcro on the watch to have the heartbeat sensor visible?

That would be a good idea except the magnets I'm using are much stronger than the Velcro alone. It's that neodymium material or "super magnets" as they are called by the brand I buy.

Yes but the watch would be detachable from the magnet you might have to down grade the magnet so it's not as strong
The wireless charging uses magnetism, so it is impossible to charge with one on the watch. There's a different type of Velcro that is way different and is silent. You could try to find that and then use it.
Use a very thin piece of metal glued to the back of the watch. I have a small round metal plate glued to the back of my note 5 and the wireless charger still works. I use the plate so i can stick it to a magnetic holder on the dash in my car. Look up WizGear on Amazon and you should see what I'm talking about.
