Question is where have you been scouting? instead of scouting try searching
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=31801814&pp=25&page=2
Thanks Guys,
I did trying searching it came back with Zero results, possibly didnt have the correct words.. thanks again
So i clicked the link, and no matches found
sorry to get this old thread back up.
I'm currently working on a keyboard backlight mod for my tf201.
I plan on using EL Panels for the light.Problem is, the needed inverter is too big for the case so I need do design an external "dongle" that gets power from the battery and feed high voltage for the EL panels back in. I'm thinking about using some sort of USB connector and a 3D printed case for the electronics.
The panels I ordered should arrive in the next 2 weeks and I'll start working (and documenting).
Use a strip led... then plug it into dock bbattery and add a switch into the dock for on off.... should be enough room...

nah, that's boring (also, I like EL Panels and discouraging people from using random found usb drives
I did it.
I succesfully modified my TF201 keyboard dock with some el panels and added a plug outside to connect the inverter. Power comes from the internal battery.

I'll write a detailed blog post with pictures during the next few days.
There we go

I think it's really cool! ...any chance there will be a future one that stays more internal? Just wondering...

I'm working on that
Problem with EL wire and panels are the inverters needed for the supply voltage and frequency. Since those conain a coil / transformer of sorts, they tend to be big. But there are inverters and parts for smaller panels. So maybe I can build something with that.

I may try this on the Asus 701 keyboard or my old tf201 keyboard ....( I also might scavenge the battery from the 201 board and make portable one.....

Hey guys. This is a place holder for a video teardown of the TF201-DOCK-GR. Franky_402 and I had heard some things about a subwoofer that was supposed to be in the dock and the idea was scratched pre-production. So, I wanted to see where the subwoofer would have gone. I have to say, I wish they would have done it. Would have been nice.
Anyway, video will be uploaded soon and I will post a link to it.
Here is the video!
EDIT: This link should work now.

Second that. I could barely understand what was said in the Video.
we did the song just to have something going on during the parts we were not talking. That way it wasn't just silent. I had thought about taking it out and may still do that. I might pull this one and put up a new one.

Space for a 3g/wifi modem?
Is there enough free space in the keyboard to fit a stripped down Huawei E586 Pocket WiFi Modem?
Or tear down a bluetooth GPS receiver Wonder if the plastic keys let out enough signal to lock on sats? Some how figure out how to mod it into the battery or USB port.
eh - by the time you do that, why not just plug it in the USB port, right?

There is very very little room in there. I wont say that it would be impossible but I'm sure it would be difficult if possible at all.

So after using a car front end with my previous galaxy tab 7" 3G, I decided to try something else with my galaxy tab 8.9.
Here's the results. Its a work in progress, mind you.

I hope the link works. I can post some pictures later. I'm using ADW, simple text and multipicture live wallpaper. I took the idea from a poster in the Transformer Prime forum. I'll find a link later to give proper credit.
It works as fast and as fluid as it does in my Transformer Prime (where I'm typing this and which has a similar setup.)
that is REALLY nice.
could you link to the xda thread (for your ui) you referred to so I can try it out?

Good question. It's connected via bluetooth to Blackberry bluetooth adapter. I tried 3 different ones before choosing the RIM made one. The Rim bt adapter has no batteries, so I connected permanently, uses 5v mini usb connector. It turns on automatically when power is applied, no button presses required. Other units either turns themselves off to save battery/protect it or they require a button press to turn them on again.
I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

Mine was tough to push in too...close to the point I really worried I was going to break it, and I don't have any extra skins on my prime adding to the thickness. I just think the internal rubber film on the gps dongle is ever so slightly thicker then the film on the inside of the keyboard dock (or perhaps my dock has just loosened up over the past several months).
As long as you are lined up right, you should be ok...

It doesn't "click" in, you simply attach it and then manually lock the lock switch.
I noticed one thing when I received mine. I faced the same problem as you did and then i realized the lock switch on the dongle was on the lock condition which is why i was not able to push it in. (Ideally, a freshly manufactured dongle should have the lock switch to the 'Unlock' side)
I believe you have completely removed the rubber pads on the locking grooves left and right of the 40 pin connectors.

not sure, but have you tried it on the palm touchstone rather than the touchpad touchstone?
also... are you using a case? if so, you might have a case that's too thick

Here is another link...i have not tried it on a stone as i don't have one and they are the same thing/
the touchpad touchstone charges slightly differently than the palm and potentially it might not make the receiver not want to initiate the connection.
also, are you using a case? if so, is it thicker than 4mm?

ummm took case of to test but no luck. I hear what you are saying about the chargers but obviously this is designed to be independent of the brand but follow the same standard which all those chargers do along with the energizers etc of the world.
actually... between the three known inductive charging standards, they're not really compatible at all. Powermat claims to be providing qi support in the future but none of them currently work on the other's product.
