  1. Using the fastboot tool you can interrogate the device options.

    fastboot getvar all

     

     

    If you can see the option:

    (bootloader) off-mode-charge: 1

     

    You can change this to:

    fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0

     

    I don't know if the Galaxy Tab 3 has this option, I don't believe it's a required/universal feature.

  2. Can't imagine the OD makes any difference, the ID varying somewhat shouldn't really matter unless you try to use like a 1" ID so it can't reasonably pressurize it. If you use a slightly larger ID it might account for some miniscule change in reaction based on a delay pressurizing the hose, but whatever, this isn't like human-scale measurable amounts.

    4mm ID is pretty close to 0.17in - which is like 4.3mm.

  3. There is a ground pin (pin5) on the connector, as well as the shield is grounded via the mounting posts. You should connect the shield to the board ground for noise reasons, but it would work either way.

     

    I'm hung up at present because the vendor I ordered receptacles from keeps sending me the wrong ones, despite the diagram being the correct one that I ordered. Every screwed up delivery is like a 2 week round trip, so it's getting quite annoying.

  4. Yup, covered before, but the JDM piece is considerably larger. 205mm wide vs 195mm or so, and taller as the area where the buttons are on the US nav is just open space. If you read back, several people have wired a remote button into the power button, which is probably a good idea. The larger bezel should give access to swiping from the edge as well as the navigation on screen buttons.
  5. Good deal, my thought was that either you leave the bezel "loose" with a minor gap, at which point you'd likely get a rattle, otherwise the sharp edge fit "tight" would likely eventually break the screen from movement+heat+cold. I'll look into some hard rubber trim as well, but I suspect it's not going to work out unless I filled the bezel edge into a larger flat edge.
  6. Dissected the N7 and extracted the I/O board. So far looks doable, waiting on my shipment of receptacles from digikey to arrive (today hopefully) and start planning out how to rework it. Fun fact, the N7 actually functions/boots without the I/O board even being connected, but the digitizer control is on it so you can't use any touch functions and no USB, obviously.

    I'm also waiting on my bezel from AVOjdm, and have been looking at the pictures online which left me with a question: What are you guys doing for the fitment between the bezel and the tablet? The bezel sits on the face of the tablet, so I would think it would rattle or otherwise press the edge into the screen. I was thinking something like a rubber trim or weatherstrip would be good, but the bezel seems to be a narrow edge.

     

    Are you guys leaving a small gap between it, or just fitting it tight against it? Any flex/movement/rattle issues?

  7. Will share for sure. I was just consulting with some more surface-mount experts, and ended up ordering a small handful of vertical mount receptacles from digikey. Going to experiment a bit with various fitments and see which one works best, and then probably just solder what we would think of as a right angle receptacle straight on and out the back, but in terms of surface mount is a vertical receptacle.

     

    It's helped by the fact there's nothing at all on the back panel there in the first place, so it shouldn't be a huge feat.

     

    If you can borrow someone with experience in surface mount soldering, they could probably knock it out for you in <5 minutes.

  8. Just wanted to post a thanks to everyone here, as I'm putting together a setup and the knowledge shared saves a lot of time and effort.

     

    For havanahjoe, looking at the iFixit teardown of the 2013 Nexus 7 (which is what I have coming), the leads from the USB port are fairly well exposed when you remove the back cover.

     

    I'm actually just going to remove the cover and attach a second port to those leads. Then I can just drill a small hole in the cover (or remove it for cooling reasons) and put a secondary port off the back.

     

    Nice picture of the port and the leads: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/CAyTOSXbdnSAN4P4.huge

  9. Forgive my ignorance, but if you go that route do you have to buy 8 of the new TPMS or can you buy 4 in addition to the OEM set and do it that way.

     

    Somehow I missed all of this... :spin:

     

    You can just buy 4 programmables, and program them to match the IDs of your OEMs. You will need to find a shop that has the proper programming tools first, because they cost about $1000. After that though, you don't have to screw with anything anymore.

  10. Yes, exactly. My plx unit and the vbg1 sending unit are both in the driver side fuse panel well

     

    Were you to have time to take a picture of the setup, I would be appreciative. It seems like there's space, but I haven't quite found an orientation that would allow me to mount them cleanly without dremeling anything or screwing into panels.
