LOST: TG01 Box with Accessories

Here's the story. I got my TG01, tried all the nice things. Packed away the non-essentials in the box (non-essentials = data cable, usb HOST cable, the naff Tosh 8GB MicroSD, stand, etc.).
However, I come to get the things OUT of the box, and the box is missing.
Has anyone seen it?
If not - does anyone have any or all of the above accessories they'd like to sell me? Now we're getting on with the ROM cooking, the TG01 is going to be phenominal... and I'd like my wires!!!
Cash (UK£) and Paypal waiting for any offers of stuff

Not so non-essential now are they!
I'm sure I could manage without... but they are now desirable to me.
There would be more satisfaction in actually finding the ones I know I have somewhere, but I know this will only ever happen once I've bought replacements!
Has to be said, the coolest thing was, just for the sake of it, having a USB hub hanging off my phone with a 500GB Ext HDD, keyboard AND mouse, all working!!
Would be very difficult to get all that lot into my pocket, however!!

Your batteryw ill last approximately 2.4 SECONDS with all of that
t'was a powered USB hub, so all devices were taking power from there... so the max draw on the phone would have been limited to around 50mA max...
however
that doesn't stop the battery only lasting 2.4 seconds ANYWAY!

You might be interested to have a loook at this post I put on Brighthand pre-Christmas about connecting to external devices....
The USB Host is one of the key features of the TG01 - sets it apart from most of the 'competition' significantly IMO.
Hello youbrokeit,
If you still need cables let me know I have spares.
mkultr4
Yes please...
If you've got a data cable and USB host cable, I'd be very interested... if you have a couple of each that'd be great too, so I can keep one set with my laptop!!
If not - maybe I'll get two offers on here

Mike,
For some reason the Brighthand Forums seem to be down at the moment. Their main site is OK. I'll check again a bit later today. If not up again I can probably find some of the info and send separately.

[Q] Which Tablet?

My friend wants to buy a tablet with the following:
- HDMI
- USB
- 10.1" Screen
- 32GB
- SD Card Slot
- Charge via USB
What do you guys recommend?
acer iconia a500
EDIT: sorry i missed the charging with usb. yeah thats not gonna happen. with almost any tablet. especially if you want thoughs specs. good luck! not even the ipad can charge strait usb. i mean. with a 10 hr batttery. charging with usb only would take days anyway. not worth it.

What is the difference between the A500 and A501?
The Charge via USB isn't that important, so it is alright if that feature isn't available.

a501 includes 3g (or is it 4g?) wireless. i wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for custom roms and such. the a500 has a much wider user base. also... the 16 gb model has really good prices atm. so i would pick up that and a 32 gb sd card. thats what i did. WORTH IT

Xoom2/Xyboard USB/HDMI card needed

I am looking for the card that has the micro usb and hdmi ports for a Xyboard 10.1. I would assume that the Xoom 2 would have this similar setup but I am not sure. If someone has one of these tablets available for parts, let me know. I have searched for hours trying to find somewhere to buy this with no luck. I also tried my hand at soldering and that did not go so well. Please let me know if anyone knows a way. Thanks!:cyclops:
Plus one.
If somebody has this board, please, pm me.
FYI I ended up buying a shell on eBay for $120. I got more than I needed but now have an extra screen.
Sent from my XT862 using xda app-developers app
Any update on parts for these? i have a bad micro usb and need a new board. TIA
Yes..Me too..I have two new XYBoards and from what I read, after about one year, the Micro USB/HDMI card ports are worn out..SO..I would like to prepare for the upcoming failure..Please..any information on availability and purchase of this card would be much appreciated..

Xyboard Uses
I'm a little off topic here as my Xyboard (knock on wood) works great. BUT, what are you all using your Xyboards for? As in, I'm at a point where I can't find more uses for it other than a Music Player in my office and a sketchy universal remote in my living room. If mine crapped out, I don't think I'd be motivated to fix it. I want this thing to excel (I really do!), but because there's been nearly-zero development on it, I don't find myself reaching for it very often. (I've got the $35 Second Shells case for it as well as the Moto Bluetooth Keyboard; I've babied this thing).
I've even thought about mounting it in my car just so it becomes relevant again. Am I missing ways where it can be useful?
Sidenote: my Samsung Chromebook fills 90% of my work/media consumption needs and my Razr M fills out the other 10%.
Also: if it does crap out, I'll totally give you my USB/HDMI port card. I'd love for it to go to a good home.

Hello Friend..
You do own a very capable tablet, what OS are you running, Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich.? I did enjoy GB, but ICS is more advanced, alot more overall performance and options..And especially with the "promised" Jelly Bean upgrade..WooHoo..this tablet will be even more capable and useful..
With ICS and the right Apps. These XYB's will surprise you..Since my last post here..I have purchased a couple junked XYBoards "buy as is" from Ebay..took the two and made ONE that function flawlessly..one had a bad motherboard, the other a bad battery and charge port..
And this is the one I'm using now..SO..I own one of each MZ617 models..a 16, 32 and 64 GB..I love to tinker with these things..THANKS to Root capabilities, SafeStrap and a few more Mods..anyway.
With the correct Apps..these XYB's are a very helpful tool..I will mention only a few functions very useful..
Printing wirelessly world wide, file transfer via Bluetooth and more, office document creation, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint (namely a few)..Measuring distances (feet/inch/metric)..GPS travel ..Cook books, Free Hand note taking, high quality camera and video camera, MP3, MPG, Divix, AVI player, bar code scanner, auto VIN number scanner, auto diagnostic functions, voice recorder, Police, Fire scanner, Social networking, Live video chats with family and friends, Electronic book reader, Graphics editor, video rendering, cloud storage, USB compatible, buy_sale on EBay, Email, alarm clock, stop watch..the list is longer, but I will stop there..is there ANY laptop that can do all this without armfulls of attachments..I cannot imagine without a tablet..and all the above mentioned, a woman can hold in her hand.!!
OH..first and foremost..I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses..I study the Bible, have the monthly magazines such as the Watchtower and AWAKE!, and our weekly study material, Daily Text, and much more of JW's reading material..I have the complete Bible also in MP3 format, and much more on a single (one) 32 GB Motorola XYBoard 10.1 tablet..I use the tablet in the ministry, going door to door, during our two weekly meetings also..
Now my laptops set most of the time, they are jealous of my XYBoards..now they are only used to Root another XYB or to copy and store my many SafeStrap backups and other files..lol
I certainly hope all my babbling helps you to see, just how Awesome these XYB's really are..
I hope you will find comfort and usefulness with yours..take care..

I found one. It's for the xoom2 but the number on the board is the same 1016326001. Looks identical too. They had 10 in stock. If you wanna wait i'll let you know if it works, just ordered 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-VERIZON...048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e80ba8bf0
Auction says used but description says This is for the 10.1in Motorola Xoom 2 MZ617. This is a new, unused part directly from the manufacturer.
With having 10 available i'd assume they are new. I sent him a message asking. regardless i ordered one.
Thank you for posting the link, the auction definitely states, "New"..WooHoo..there is hope..I will watch the sale, I hope you receive a new one for your device, Don't know how the EBayer got ahold of 10 of these, but that's great, They are in Calif..seems as thow Texas and California gets most of the good Motorola stuff..lol..
Anyway..I hope the EBayer can get 100 more..I personally just purchased the new Droid Maxx last week, and plan to purchase another in a couple days..So my budget is stressed at the moment..if the EBayer doesn't sale out in a couple weeks, I hope to purchase at least two charge ports..They also have a motherboard for MZ617..I have a 16gb model with a bad MB setting here, I'd like to repair..

i emailed him about xyboard and the used, he said he would add it to the description (he did, now has xyboard). he didnt mention the new/used but i see its changed to new so i'm sure the one i ordered is new. I also won an auction for an 8" xyboard for $37 a few hours ago, i was hoping it had the same usb board, they looked the same on the outside and they fit the same dock.
WooHoo..thank you for contacting the EBayer about the port, also, glad you won the 8" auction and I hope its the same port as the 10"..

faulty charge port workaround & power button request
Yeah, I just bought one of these too although I had got around my faulty port by wiring straight into the battery.
It works really well - it even charges off my regular phone charger now. or the usb port on my PC.
The software doesn't recognise that it's charging but after about 4-5 hours it's fully charged again!
I just hacked off an old usb cable and wired a plug on the end to match the new one I connected to the battery.
I passed the lead out through the hole in the case for sd card/sim socket (mine doesn't have an sd card port)
Make sure you pass it through the hole in the case before you wire up to the battery otherwise the case won't snap together,
and don't try wiring the plug on after connecting it to the battery as you're likely to short the battery.
You have to join the data wires on the usb lead together and this signals to the computer to deliver full current to the port.
What I'm after now is a ribbon with the power/volume buttons on it as while I was doing the charge repair
my son got hold of it and picked off the naked button with his finger nail. (See pics below)
Does anyone have this spare part? It's for a xoom2 mz616 or 617 10" screen. Don't know if any other models will fit
but I can't turn it on now
Please help!
Sorry I tried to insert the pics but xda wouldn't allow it. PM me if you want to see.

Yeah, I thought about soldering it - but have you seen how SMALL the parts are???
I even bought a new micro usb port for £2, but it's way too small.
There's no way I can solder parts that tiny.
I don't see what the bid deal is connecting the battery direct to the usb - as long as you don't leave it in too long?
it will level out at 5v and stop charging when it has equalised.
And I never left it in so long it got hot or anything - you have to monitor that.
You may be right, I don't know. I didn't try it long enough to test thoroughly as I got a new usb/charge port off ebay.
It wasn't $15 though - I paid $40 for a new one.

[Q] Problems with charging and PC connection, cable or device issue?

Hi everyone, I've just bought a Note 10.1 refurbished but I'm having issues with the charger. When plugged it, it doesn't charge at all and if I use it, it would actually discharge although it says its charging. Sometimes the red x appears on the battery but after unplugging and blowing the port and connector a few times, it would then charge. However if I unplug it, it wouldn't charge again unless I blow it and reconnect it 2-3 times. The power brick is fine because I can plug my Galaxy Grand in to it and it charges every time. When it does charge, it charges fairly quickly. About 10% every 25-30 minutes.
Also when I connected it to my PC, it didn't even recognize the device at all. The tablet lights up and shows a red x on the battery again. I've got around syncing by using Wifi file transfer for now, do you think its a cable problem or a device problem? I've ordered an adapter than converts the 30 pin to micro USB so I can use my galaxy grands cable and hopefully it'll come soon as I want to test it before the 7 days return window is over.
I've read online that the stock cable is really bad and a 3rd party cable charges much faster, is this true?
Thanks,
Anthony
The red X over the battery indicates that the carging is lower than 2000 mA, and if the cable is damaged in some way the charge rate can be unstable. Otherwise, the port on the device might be dirty or damaged. Try cleaning it with a plastic/wooden toothpick and/or compressed air. You can also try to clean the cable tip.
A pc usb-port will never reach 2000 mA, so a red X over the battery will always be present. Also, for the PC to recognize the 10.1 you need to have Samsung Kies installed.
Hope this helps!

Oh I see, so that's why it has a red X. I do have Kies Installed since I have a Galaxy Grand and sadly there is no response when I plug it into my PC. Do you think its more likely that the cable is damaged or the device port is? I might be able to lend my friends Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 cable to test tomorrow though.
Thank you! :good:

I went and bought a new cable today and tada! Its all working now! I'm soo glad I don't have to send it back as I love this tablet. The connector is a bit stiffer to get in that the stock one, I'm guessing its because its a 3rd party cable but it works well so I'm happy.
And to Kayteck, maybe try a different cable if you can like I did. It could be that your cable is buggered.
Thanks for your help,

Obviously this is going to be a pretty big mod! Projected delivery is Dec. 2017... but... these things are often delayed so I would take that with a grain of salt.
Yeah know what actually might be a really cool feature for a mod like this? A USB male port on it. It would be awesome to be able to be able to take this mod off my phone and plug it into a computer/laptop and have that on-board memory show up as a flash drive. It would make it super easy to move files back and forth between phone and computer.

There is a USB-C port on it already... and the idea would be that you wouldn't need to carry a cable... you could just plug right into any computer that had a USB port.

I understand the concept, but to go with what you said there is already a usb a port...usb c ports are "the future" and most pcs are getting them now...my pc and laptop both have them.

Ah... I see, I wasn't understanding right, sorry 'bout that. I won't necessarily be opposed to that as usb-c is becoming much more common, and it's smaller too, which would presumably make it easier to fit in.

I just feel a male usb c would fit better with the phone since the phone itself is already usb c, its a good idea though, and either way would be good, but smaller seems to be the go to with mobile...except screensize and battery
Indiegogo again...... 50% of the project are scam,40 % by people unable to run a company and actually be successful. Leaving a 10 % successful campaign..... If it sound to good to be true it most likely isint. That project fit in the first 50 % at that price point.

Can't disagree with that... I backed probably 15 or so Kickstarters back in the day... haven't visited the site in a LONG time because I got sick of everything being sooooo late or failing out right.
I don't plan on backing this project personally... but it was interesting non-the-less so thought I'd post it. Honestly, I don't plan to back any indie or kickstarter projects ever again. I'll wait until it's actually out there before buying, even if it means I have pay a bit more.
