Suitable Stand For Viewing and Charging in Landscape - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems the connector for charging is at the bottom in landscape and in order to charge whilst on a stand you need clearance for the charging plug, unless you have the connector on the top which is not ideal.
Does anyone know of a suitable stand that will hold the Nexus 10 whilst on charge with clearance for the charging plug?

The Belkin Flipblade Adjust should do the trick.
I use it with my Iconia A700 which also has the charging plug at the bottom.

Strange feel on dock when charging

I just noticed a strange anomaly on my dock only when its plugged in to charge. If I run my finger over the flat areas to the left and right of the touchpad it ever-so-slightly vibrates as you move your finger. It almost feels like how your finger would vibrate or hum when circling a wet glass rim. When you unplug the dock the vibration feeling will go away. I'm not noticing any other issues with the dock or pad and it only will do it when the dock is plugged in (with or without the pad). Battery usage is very good and I'm running the 3.1 updated firmware on the tablet and the EP101-0209 for the dock.
Anyone else have this issue? Anything I should be worried about? I'm not planning on returning it unless i see it gets worse.
Update: it happens on any of the flat top area of the dock (but not the keyboard part) but not on the sides or back (due to the plastic I'm assuming).
someone else posted about that. apparently, it's low voltage electricity. not enough to electrocute you though. someone suggested that depending on the way you plug the +/- prongs of the plug into your wall socket, you won't get it. so based on what you have right now, just flip it.
Sorry, I missed that post..but as to flipping the adapter I did just that and what do you know!! It worked, its not having any of that issue anymore. Strange coming from AC current but I'm happy now.
Thanks!!
Are you sure it really goes away when it's not charging? Try it again. I noticed the very same thing but very quickly determined that it was simply the texture of the material causing a vibration as a moved my hand over it. If you keep your hand still it disappears. There is no low voltage electricity, for you to be able to feel it like that it would have to be a fairly high voltage.

What makes a car dock.. dock?

Hi all.
Just a simple question I guess:
How does the SGSII know when it is docked in a compatible car dock? (Auto start Car Home, etc..?)
Does the car dock have a magnet what does the trick?
I have made my own car dock for my SGSII. And it would be really nice if it automatically started Car Home when docked.
Best regards
a certain resistance level on the connectin.. different resistence lets it sense car dock vs. home dock. etc. etc.

Could you please explain?
Resistance level on the connection?
People are talking about magnets here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j35p0/is_there_a_car_dock_for_the_sgsii/
lol if it was a magnet the magntometre would not work.
The car dock has a resistor in the power connector it only docks when plugged in even if the power is not connected to the dock.
Hope this helps

IIRC the resistor is pinned to pin 1 of the USB and to ground. If you look over on the Galaxy I9000 forum there is a post somewhere there on it.
Pin 4 connect to Pin 5 via 620k Ohm Resistor triggers Car dock mode

Poor Blutooth Signal

Last week I replaced my flex ribbon cable because I tore the ribbon cable to the power button while replacing the digitizer.
After installing the new flex cable my blutooth signal has been terrible. When listening to music via S9-HD's when I go to put the phone back in my pocket the audio cuts out just in the motion from texting to placing the phone in my pocket. Also when walking its impossible to listen to any music because it cuts out so much.
What might my problem be? Is the blutooth antenna on the flex cable or did I mess something up when I took apart my phone?
anyone?

We aren't ignoring you dude. I promise. Have you disassembled the phone again and tried wiggling things around?
Finally had the time to take it apart again and wiggled things around. It improved a little bit, but still the range is no where near what it was before I replaced the flex ribbon cable.
Does anyone know which cable is the Bluetooth cable? is it the black one on the left near the white cable or the single black cable on the opposite side? I did notice when I took my phone apart again was a small pinch in the single black cable. Would that pinch be enough to break the wire under the shielding?
I can get pics if needed some time this weekend.

Those types of cables are made of SUPER fine wire. A pinch can easily sever them inside the shielding.
How do i know for sure that the kinked cable is the bluetooth cable? So I can order the right one to eliminate that factor.
Does it look like that?

There are two that look like that.
One on the left side and one on the right when looking at the phone with the back open and the screen facing down.

Well, there is a white and a black cable. The one in the product photo is black. Provided that is not a generic stock photo it should be the black one.

[Q] Elocity A7 040 DC

I have the Elocity A7 040 and wonder if someone could tell me the size of the power adpater plug. One end plugs into the AC wall outlet and the other end plugs into the bottom left hand side of the A7. It is a round "female" plug. What size is that female plug? Does anyone know. I have a portable power pack that can chage the Elocity, but I do not have the correct plug to use to plug into the "male" (DC) hold on the bottom of the
A7. Does anyone know the size? If so, please let me know.
I am possibly looking for a cord that has USB on one end and the proper, round (female) plug on the other end to be plugged into the bottom of the A7 (where the power plug is now plugged into).
I'm not sure how helpful this reply is, but the male plug seems to be 4.75mm in diameter, I don't have a caliper, but it seemed slightly larger than 3/16 in.

detecting the voltage change from a single 5V AC input

what I have:
A single wire from my apart wall, that connects to the door button, when I use multimeter, it reads 0V - 0.5V AC, when someone press the door button, it raises to 5V AC
I have no access to the door buzzer transformer, and I don't konw when it's isolated or floating or even has a ground
a RPi 2B, some resistor, some capacitors, some sharp817 optoisolators, a breadboard, some jumper wires
What I want to do:
I want to connect this wire through an optoisolators and resistors to the RPi's GPIO, so I can call something like
GPIO.add_event_detect(channel, GPIO.RISING, callback=my_callback) to detect the door button push event
What's my problem:
I have no idea how to exactly make the cirecuit work, especially there is only one AC wire (positive live wire may be?, where's the ground wire?)
please help
and wish everyone merry christmas
I think it would be easier, when you use a schmitt-trigger and control a digital input of the Rpi. Did i understand right, that you only want to detect 0V or 5V ? You are not interestet in voltage levels between ?
