[Q] ONEX+ Back Cover Connector (OFF-TOPIC) - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I've been looking around the web at the various information avaiable for the OneX+ and in pictures of the back side of the device there are 5 dots which look like metal spots for charging maybe, or a dock or something. Can anyone confirm what those are for? The pin out for a micro USB end has 5 connections, could it be a USB connection for a dock?

I think all 'one' series phones have this except ours, which is obviously a little different than the others. They are dock connectors.

Certainly makes more sense than the tree that hangs off the bottom now. Not sure I want to build a new plug though... good find!

Have you seen this article using that adaptor? http://www.webnetta.com/2008/12/27/hack-connects-t-mobile-g1-to-ipod-dock/
I would love to take advantage of all those iPod only accessories out there.
I talked to the PodGizmo guys and they are planning a series of boards for the G1 connector, a breakout like the ipod podbreakout one and a usb host one.

Replacement digitizer - UK

Hi guys!
So yesterday I dropped my 4 week old HOX+. It only fell about 40cm but it landed face down on a solid floor. The result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To get it professionally replaced is gonna cost me more than I can afford, so I'm looking to do it myself. Trouble is, I can't find anywhere that stocks replacement digitizers for the HOX+.
Does anyone know where I can get hold of one? Alternatively, could I use one from a standard HOX? I know I wouldn't have the red buttons, but to be honest I'm not a fan of them anyway, they are difficult to see when not lit.
Thanks.

[Q] USB Port - bad solder, or just needs a clean?

I've inherited an S3 with a broken USB port. It used to work intermittently, but has now stopped working altogether. I've added a wireless charging thing, so it's usable.
I had a quick look inside today, to see if there was anything obviously wrong.

I'm not sure if those two soldered connections on the end look a bit dodgy, so I thought I'd ask on here if it looks like I'm going to need to reflow it, or if you think the connection looks fine and just needs a good clean?
Obviously, I don't want to start soldering things if it's unnecessary.
Thanks!

[Q] Little Buttons on back?

I'm wondering it anyone knows anything about what appears to be two little buttons on the back of the Galaxy Alpha, after you take the battery cover off. They are to the left of the battery, and are marked "L" and "R." Are these buttons at all, and if so, what do they do? Thanks.
Its not buttons. Under that plugs are some connectors (from ifixit):

I took a look at a SM-G850A (no little covers over the "buttons" and figured they were connectors. NOW, what are the connectors for?

KEYone cradle?

Back in the day of my Bold and Style they would have cradles:
something like this for the Bold:

}
And for the Style:
I would like something like that for the KEYone. I havent been in the BlackBerry game since the Style... do they still do cradles like that?
The recent Blackberry docks use the usb-c or micro usb port. They don't use the contacts like older devices did. Your best bet is to get a wireless charging dock or one that uses the USB-C connection. I currently have a nexus 6p till the KEYone is release in the states. Here is the dock I currently use and the one I will use with my KEYone:

i tried that one with my LG V20 and didn't really care for it
