Hi everybody ,
What do u guys think... Would it be possible to use the inductive charging of the pixel c to charge your phone?
The keyboard uses it after all so why can't it be used on a phone i would say......
I don't own a keyboard myself so i can't really test.
Some questions i have are where the coil is placed exactly and what triggers it to start charging.....
I searched around the web a little for a disassembly but couldn't find any at the moment so it's hard to say....
If somebody can test or tell some more maybe we can somehow activate it, it would be a nice nifty feature imho.
...No. There are some many reasons I wouldn't work I don't know where I'd start.

Just saying "No" and "there are so many reasons" is not really helpful or explaining..... Do u know how it works? What kind of protocol is used? What triggers it? If not..., I understand why u don't know where to start. If u do...., Please give it a try..
Using my tablet as a external battery with wireless charging does sound pretty cool and useful imho...
You can extract the circuit board from the keyboard, extract the charging part, analyse it and create a schematic.
Then, you can rebuild it using your own components and make a case for your phone out of it (when it even outputs 5V)

Haha , great idea , but don't want to spend that much money and destroy a good working keyboard. I'm just curious how it works and if it's possible at all. Without a disassemble guide it's kinda hard to find out... But thanx and if u got some more great ideas let me know...

I know the thread is old (as much of Pixel C forum is). But did you ever find an application? Perhaps buying a used as-is for parts oem keyboard and using it as a guinea pig.
I was thinking perhaps use it's induction charging coil/mechanism transplanted into another cheaper/working generic bluetooth keyboard..

Is there an accessory that can be used from another phone.
Like lets say im talking with a friend on the phone (both using pocket pc phones), and one of them has an accessory that the other person wants to use. Like a fax, modem or whatever.
I dont know if im explaining my self right, but yeah. I just need any kind of accessory that i would be able to use on another pocket pc phone, like a remote use device of any kind.
I REALLY need help on this.
Thanx in advance
it taken cellphones this long to agree on just using the same charge connector
i'd suspct it would take awhile before they start to agree on compatible accessories
but at times one can still use the same connector at least
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors
read Modifying iPaq accessories
but most likely ipaqs themselfs have changed connector a few times
since that
but of cause bluetooth accessories are pretty genereal

Yeah thats kinda the thing that im looking for an accessory that has RS232_TXD and RS232_RXD like a modem or something that i can connect to it from the other phone and transmit data between them.
Thanx again.
hi!
When I plugged my TyTN into PC via USB or to A/C charger I found that LCD is not displaying properly the today screen, it was getting white and some colour lines showed for few seconds. It was randomly changing and showing and hiding... and caused that I can't work with device.
What was diagnosed by me that when I move the USB jack fitted in port to left or right it helped to come back to OK status.
So I used (in anger) my strenght and fixed my machine for longer time (don't ask how but i'm curious if usb port located in TyTN can be used out???
someone any experience??

As with any device, the hermes will get to the end of its life. And usb ports can break quite easly if your not carefull or unlucky.
Thats why I never use the wired headphones, dont want to kill my port.
Glad to see you got yours working again though! (your lucky you didnt break it fully, by using to much strength )

i hope it will work as long as possible
you know i'm using wired headset quite often and quite often plug in usb a/c in my car so maybe that why it is sending me singnals that he have enough
maybe when this brick will stop working it will be good argument for my wife to purchase new WM device (Diamond maybe)

I myself am trying to work out a way to get a Kaiser.. dont think I could quite sneak a touch pro though the net (GPS calls to me, and i dont like bluetooth dongles)

+1 on the kaiser for the next phone man... i'll be around for a while in hermes though
You can always buy a new usb port, but make sure you have a good soldering iron, and very good eyes. The 5 pins on the base of the port are extremely small and close together. If you don't have a magnifying glass, it could be a nightmare.

If that's the case, I'd just snap that port off now.

Kaiser is a mess I think, with all the non-accelerated video etc problems.
I'm eyeballing with Sony's XPERIA but only when it becomes $300-400 and only if no Android will match it by then - because XPeria's initial $1k price won't go down in less than 6-8 months and most like by then (practically next Spring) the second wave of Android-based phones will be arriving, beating XPERIA in everything at less than half the price...

The Omni software driver and HTC class action drivers do the job fine I dont even use any D3D stuff.
The extra ram and the faster cpu sound good to me.
Anyone know if there is a powermat receiver for the epic touch yet?

This, cant find on google anywhere...
I tried finding compatible devices that work with the Powermat & couldn't even find that.
I do know that several people have hacked their device to work with inductive charging but it takes some major surgery and skill to get it to work.
So as of yet I'd have to say "no'
I saw a powermat kind of thing at radioshack and it says on the box works with compatible devices or need "power discs" but no one can "find" a power disc in the system or even what they look like.
would REALLY love to get wireless charging and I don't mind a little surgery
I did find something called a Duracell myGrid Power Clip, but I would rather have a case so it is pretty much "seamless"
Search inductive charging. Its in or forum
He already got it up and running but definitely takes some skill

Well ... I was scared at first to turn it on but all went well, so I figured I would share.
If you do this yourself you have to be very carefull, the components are a lot more cramped than most.

Sent from my oh-so-sexy Samsung!
Hello, I recently purchased (from Asus) and installed a replacement LCD + digitizer on my N7. It went together easier than expected and I was happy with the results until I noticed that while multi-touching the screen it wigs out a bit. I cannot play Minecraft PE and move and look around at the same time for example. I cannot zoom in or out on pics without the picture jumping around like in a seizure like state for another example. Any ideas? I don't want to have to open it again but I will do what is necessary to fix this issue.
Thank you.
Asus don't sell parts to consumers so I don't know where you got it. Sounds like the part is faulty but check everything's connected properly and no damage to any of the flex ribbons.

Sold by Asus through Amazon. If I had enough posts to send the link I would but due to rules I cannot.

Im not exactly saying your mistaken. I just question why asus would need to use amazon to sell parts? I have bought plenty of screens from amazon. One thing that is relatively certain, aftermarket parts. That doesn't mean bad in most cases just not oem. There is a touchscreen fix in either general or this Q&a. You may want to give that a try.

Maybe it only looked like easy and something went wrong when assembling it by yourself.
I am willing to admit that I did something wrong I've got a friend who is more experienced at these things who is going to take a look. As far as the screen goes the seller was marked as Asus. Thanks for all the insight so far I looked up more dead spot issues with the N7 and it seems like I'm not the only one.

Thanks! I will try this later today and hopefully it works.
after reading the article I am sure the ribbon cable connection is my issue but does anyone think thermal paste would be a decent adhesive for the cable connection?

How does thermal paste make an adhesive? And why do you need that for a cable connection? A thermal paste transfers heat from one surface to another. A cable connection generates no heat. Also, some thermal pastes conduct current. If you smear an amount of such stuff on the connector, you might cause the pins to short. 'm confused.

What I'm Looking for is an adhesive for the ribbon cable connevtion . one of the articles above explains the dead spot issue I am having. Sorry for the dumb question I don't have a lot of experience working inside of things like this but I figured the tablet was trash if I couldn't fix it anyways so I might as well give it shot for the experience.
Has anyone used a Nillkin wireless charging receiver with a P9 ? Does it fit under a case ?
Well, think about it. What kind of case do u have?
Do u really want wireless charging an u can't use you usb-c port? As example: you want to get some photos from your phone to your computer?
Guess you can unplug it and do this over and over whenever u want to.
It is 1.6mm thin so imo. some cases will fit with it and some are not.. When u use a silicon case I think it will fit.
But is it worth all this? You have to decide this and if you fon't like it, may you can send this back?
All in all I have never tried it for several reasons, if you want it really bad, then buy it.
If you can live without it, why you want to have it?
May you also buy a new phone where this is already included?
Oh before i forget.. may the charging speed gets slower.
All in all i have never tried it on a p9, but imo. it is sensless, but you should decide what you want, I've only listed some things I think when i read this post.
Good luck and if you buy it tell me please how it works. :3
Hi,
I'm using a nillkin magic tag and a Samsung wireless charger. It works like a charm, and i dont see any problem having the usb -c port used by the tag...sync files and photos with google acount and and info available on computer....
