[Q] Does this external battery work for the Xoom?

http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Universal-External-Battery-5500mAh/dp/B004T8EW08
I hope to get an accurate answer because I'm about to order it
Thanks!
Q80
P.S:
Good news: I found the one that would work as an external battery for the Xoom.
It has a 12v/1.5A output and looks to have the same tip of our xoom charger!

To be honest I don't see a small enough pin there.

Motorola isn't even listed. Etc. Doesn't always mean it'll be included.

You DO see it puts out 16-19 volts, right?
IOW, don't buy it.

I have yet to find an extended battery that works with the Xoom, either the pin connector is too big or the output voltage is too low, I have bought these and they dont work either so I doubt the one you listed will

The weird thing is that I saw the same device on other website which has a pin in the old nokia chargers size .. the pin may be not included but you may need to buy it separately!

FYI, the device is listed on different websites and sometimes they mention Motorola and sometime they not .. it's not our issue since this is considered as a universal external battery.

The thing is .. if it could charge the hucking laptops and even cellphones then why it wouldn't work for our xoom?
I mean isn't there a way to convert the 16v into 12v ??

The ones you've listed are usb based output which barely gives 5v and we indeed need 12v.. but the one that I asked about could provide 16 to 19 volts and that's the difference.
I hope we find an external battery for our Xooms .. cuz I'm working on a project for the xoom that needs an external battery (hint: hand made keyboard docking such as the transformer )

Not efficiently at the 18W that's needed to fully replicate the charger. Plus that, I suspect the charging plug sets the output voltage (kind of like what the Kensington chargers do).

Miniature MicroSD Reader (Kickstarter project)

Hey guys,
For those of us running custom ROMs that enable USB-OTG, I just saw a really cool kickstarter project yesterday (and am already a backer) for a miniature microsd reader that you can just plug into your phone/tablet. I'm not in any way related to this project, I just really, really want to see it get funded. Here's an excerpt from the project page http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta
Hello world! You like your Nexus tablet but you hate the fact that it doesn't have a built-in SD card reader for storage expansion? My brother and I felt that way when we first got one in July 2012. So we decided to do something about it -- make one for it. After many months of hard work, finally we have something that we feel good about and we want to share with the world.
What does it do?
Well, it is just like a SD card reader that you use on your computer, except it is for Android tablets and smartphones that have MicroUSB port. You can use it to read/write MicroSD cards, copy files between your phone/tablet and a MicroSD card.
It supports MicroSDHC cards up to 32GB (max capacity by SDHC standard), and MicroSDXC cards up to 64GB (max capacity available on the market). SDXC standard supports cards up to 2TB -- this reader should support future MicroSDXC cards of higher capacity up to that, but we have no way of testing it right now.

The best part is the price: It's only $12, with international shipping included! With this nifty little thing, I don't have to care whether there's a built in MicroSD slot anymore!

This Is Cool
Really cool

Sweet idea, but I'd much prefer an idea like this, but built in to a case - so you can still have it plugged in while it's in your pocket.

Excellent been waiting for something like this.

awesome

Looks great and since I have a HoX and I plan on buying a nexus this will come in handy.

Wow, that project got super funded, super quickly.

Would our phone recognize this music I would put on there and play it without having to use a file manager and select them individually?

woah this is awesome. Just pledged on it. Can't wait till it come's out. This will make my nexus 7 and htc one x happy

No actually, those were two separate announcements. They were confirming that it worked on the One, but because they hit their stretch goal, everyone who pledges will get the usb-to-microusb adapter. Epic!

If you go to AliExpress, someone is selling otg microsd reader for 5.40.
Google for aliexpress otg microsd
(Still newbie, unable to post links)

Charger now connects snug into micro USB port & that's not all , The microphone clarity is much improved pretty amazing really.

Wow maybe I need to get myself one then. Thanks for the post

Right on well thanks for helping me out with your generous donation for replacement part thus making others aware of this flaw.
This would explain why some have loose connections and other don't , Sammy was running low on ribbons and packed some of are toys with junk usb part.
For those that need to replace part here is a great how to video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo

Another find updating Charging Port & Mic ribbon.
Speaker level is higher better sound quality is had no more garble.
Why is that?
Speaker assembly connects to that board

A great find...
Many thanks for posting.
Kinda pisses me off really. A $700.00 device full of cheap knock off parts...sheesh If my port even so much as farts I'm gonna claim a warranty....LOL.....g

Its kind of the norm though with many device manufactures , They run low on parts and quality control goes out the window for the most part on 1st batch release.
Blackberry holds records on new release returns....The sprint 9630 for example lol

[Q] Beats by Dre not fully functional on my nexus 5??

I have a Beats by Dre Headphone and a Nexus 5, Is there a way of making it so the ContolTalk works on my phone ?
as of right now I know it was only fully functional on iOS but not on Android (only mic and call button works on it)
I will love you forever (and kiss your forehead) if you find me a solution, specially if I don't have to root it ( which I'll probably have too )

There's no solution because it's a hardware thing. The cable is not compatible fully with an Android device and no rooting will do anything about it any more than rooting would make the N5 work with an iPhone-designed radio.

1st receipe: Go to the E-Bay. Try to find a "Samsung headset control cable". It's very rare thing so you could fail with it. Try aliexpress, dx or similar sites.
2nd receipe: Go to the E-Bay and get the pair of the cheapest Samsung headsets there. Find someone familiar with the soldering iron and tell him to use the headset as the donor to the original cable. Changes will occur for resistors and wiring – he'd changeover mic and ground contacts as describede below.

Try to read my reply again.

Instead of doing this workaround, just buy this adapter:

It convert from CTIA to OMTP.

Sure thing they do. Plus they are a lot cheaper than Beats and sound better even straight out of the box. Not to mention how much better they sound once you burn them in.

Cube I9 Tablet PC with RAM 4gb and Type C function to compete with Chuwi hi12

Chinese manufacturer Cube has started to release the new model, Cube I9 with RAM 4GB and type c port, it will be 12.2inch Intel Skylake tablet pc. the Cube i9 looks very similar to the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, even down to the integrated stand on the rear and keyboard/dock.

Cube i9 will have 12.2inch display with 1920*1200P screen resolution. And it uses a 6th generation Intel skylake processor with RAM 4GB and 12.8GB internal storage. Of course, it can be expanded by inserting a micro SD card.
It includes a full size USB 3.0 and type C 3.1 port.
It is said Cue i9 will sell at 2,999 Yuan in China, and more expensive than Chuwi HI12.
About the release date, we will wait until the official website announces.
So are you looking forward to this high-end Cube i9 tablet pc?

Does this model support for Stylus? Like the previous Cube i7?

pompmall has it in a good price at the moment, wonder if the battery is good on that device.

I don't get why there's less internal storage than the Chuwi Hi12 but the processor is better, is it expandable through micro SD?

It also have dual left and right speakers, d/c in charging and MicroSD card slot. HDMI looks to be via that type-c port.

Oh, that sounds cool, the design is pretty nice as well.

Cube I9 will be in stock after Chinese New Year powered by new kylake Core M3-6Y30. So what do you think of this latest cube i9 tablet pc?

Is Cube as good of a manufacturer as Chuwi? Haven't heard a lot about them in the past.

Here are some real pictures of Cube I9 Tablet PC:

Does the Cube i9 do have a HDMI port?
