Gear 2 SM-R380 input pin labels - Samsung Gear 2

Hello, I have a Gear 2 R380 and have suffered many of the usual and expected problems. The exposed pins on the watch have corroded and failed, the charging cradle failed and refused to stay connected because the clip broke early on and now I have lost the cradle.
I am looking for information that will make it possible for me to make my own charging and communication solution via USB. I have included a picture of the circuit board in a Galaxy Gear charging cradle and if I can get the same for my gear 2 I would be very grateful!

I am NOT interested in buying another charging cradle that will just break AGAIN and frustrate me by not staying connected to the watch while charging.
I'm also NOT interested in buying a replacement contact board to replace the corroded pads on the watch as that will also just be good money down the drain.
I can solder, 3D print, make from scratch everything I'll need once I have the information on the pins. I also enjoy doing this and will are any solution I come up with.
I have tried searching in the the XDA forums and online ave no found the definitive answer I am looking for. There are threads where asked a similar question to mine but the answers are not often not pertaining to the R380 charging cradle, pads on the watch or the associated pads inside the watch.
If you are worried about me damaging my watch, this is a moot point as I cannot use the watch now anyway. I would really like to start using the watch again, without all the usual frustrations.
TIA

No takers?
I will be putting it on Ebay then...
I will listen to sensible offers for it.
Cheers
Tiny
I'm sorry for not having the resources to figure this out....but how much would that be in USD?
I think I might be interested if its affordable to me. Second, is it brand new or used?
Oh...I should probably ask are you willing to ship to US?
That's about $512.00.
crunluath is correct, it's approximately $500... Postage would be on top of that.
It's brand new and boxed. I have opened the box to check the contents and that's it. I've not even switched it on, so whoever buys it will be the first one to use it!

perhaps you can get it at http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_kw=FEMALE&_kw=htc&_ipg=100
Perfect, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was searaching on ebay, how comes i didnt see!
hi dude,
i have this problem for my old artemis, however some things you should know...
firstly, you might find it hard to get the old female extusb off the motherboard, it has a higher grade solder so it has a higher melting point etc and wont come off with a normal soldering iron.
secondly, if you do manage to get it off, the actual pins that conect to the motherboard may be tricky to solder back on, 1 because of the grade of solder, i dont think normal solder will stick ... and 2 because the pins are so tiny.
but, lastly, i actually have one that i do not need, in perfect condition and still in the packaging!
if you have not bought one already, i will be willing to give you it, for free of course!
(because thats how i roll)
if your interested then you will need to contact me via PM dude

Miniature USB host adapter

The USB connection kit is nice, but rather annoying as it makes everything stick out like crazy. Not exactly the best if you want to watch a movie while holding the tab or something like that. I bought a cheap third part USB host adapter for the P1000 - one with a female USB connector on the end of a short cable - and glued it all together to one lump. I then paired it with a tiny microSDHC reader. The result is a much more compact external storage solution that does the job of allowing me to transfer files to a USB drive instead of the tablet itself while not making the tablet annoying to hold afterwards. This is just the first prototype though, I've ordered more or these things and an planning on taking them apart to see if I can eliminate some wires and plastic to make it even smaller. Don't want to risk breaking this one while I wait for those though, so "boring mode DIY" so far.

Looks good! Have to look into this myself. Thanks.
Got four more such adapters today (they're $2.90 shipped worldwide so can't exactly complain about the price - btw, they're not originally for the P1000 as stated in the first post, but rather the 10.1).
Tore one down to see what I was dealing with below the casing and it's a pretty straight forward set of internal components that aren't glued to the casing or anything like that. The next step (i.e. the next adapter I make) will be to re-solder the wires shorter, right now I just let the cable stick out one side. The difference in thickness when getting rid of the housing is pretty nice.

30-Pin Dock Connector to Micro USB Data Adapter - CHARGE VIA USB!

Hey guys! Just a heads up on this USB adapter I snagged from USBfever:

IT ALLOWS YOU TO CHARGE VIA USB! It should, of course, be noted that it will probably not charge as fast as it would with the OEM charger or any 2 amp charger. But it does work. It didn't take long to get it (they ship from Hong Kong) and the price is worth it. I have also used it with my Sharper Image portable power pack with success. May have to get myself another one as a backup.
I bought the same one...
Also bought the SD/USB adapter and pickup a original galaxy tab dock for gen 1 model for a fiver down the market,
The dock is a tight fit but I dremeled a slit down the side so it fits much better....
MUST HAVE it too
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
I have one of those too, but is too tight of a fit for me to dare use it. That's not necessarily representative for other units though, as these chinese accessories don't exactly match up from batch to batch
After some more use I've discovered that while it will let me charge via usb it will not actually recognized that it's connected to a computer. But it was still worth not to carry that big block around with me.

[Q] QI Wireless Charging MOD/Case for Note 10.1

Hello,
is there a possibility for wireless charging for the Note 10.1 out there?
Anybody who put a coil in it?
Or any external solutions?
I could not find anything about it
regards, Christian

I have an idea how you could do it with this very thin $17 kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Shipping-Wireless-Charge-Power-Module-Board-Charger-Kits-For-DIY-/251314383690?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item3a83812b4a

and this $11 back case cover. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAD-CASE-BLACK-X-HARD-CASE-BACK-CASE-COVER-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-10-1-N8000-/190851314616?pt=US_Tablet_eReader_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2c6f9ff3b8
If you sanded off the tabs on this hard cover that hold the Note 10.1 the Note would then just lay in the hard shell and you could get perfect coil alignment without using magnets.
So..... with some odds and ends you most likely already have (tape, soldering iron, hot melt glue, an old usb cable) you could do this for under $30 bucks.
The only 3 issue's I see is will the Note 10.1 charge with only 600 ma of power (not likely), is there enough room to fit the coil under the back cover (good chance) and were do you connect the 5 volt power lead inside the case??????
Here is a disassembly video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE that may help if anyone decides to tackle this project because I'm not ready to risking my $400 dollar investment, maybe if I find one with a cracked screen on ebay for cheap I might try it.
