Sim Card Tray Removal Pin? - Nexus 5 Accessories

Anyone know here to order a pin that would fit the N5? I sold my N4 and gave them the pin from my N5. I ordered some from Amazon that were for an iPhone thinking it would be the same size but it is to big. I didn't see any on there for Android devices.....

You're not a seamstress i take it, but any needle will do the trick.

i just used a paperclip

A small paperclip, a staple, the end of a small safety pen, a piece of .7 pencil led.
All of those will work

A staple or a small paper clip works for me....so no worries...you can also try...

he sold his n5 pin with n4 :silly:

some of the holes are pretty small. i tried paper clips and even a number 60 drill bit on my brothers one x and they were all too big. the needle just felt wrong as i don't know what i'm poking at and it can be hard to put good pressure... the solution.. a guitar string!!!

Try using a bigger or heavier gauage sewing needle, but be careful as you need to push a bit hard for the micro-Sim holder to pop out or get released - or risk scratching the case's coating (especially for the black ones)

A thumb tack works for me.

You could try contacting LG. They may be of little help however... Next best option would be to search ebay for "sim ejector tool". It's not the round plastic thing LG includes, but it will poke your SIM hole the way LG intended and it's cheap. You can buy 50 of them for 4 bucks. That leaves you with 1 for SIM ejectin' and 49 for throwing at your enemies.

I had so much trouble opening the sim tray with that stupid pin it just bent on me.a snap on pick tool did the job for me.

Dock Station

I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?
samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...one-accessories/index.idx?pagetype=accsubtype
Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.
How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL
It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.
Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.
Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.
Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post
I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

You could use pencil erasers on the ends to not scratch it
Nice I like the idea
Now the price goes from $0.01 to $0.02

I've been wondering about this dock for a while now. Supposedly someone said they saw it in a video on Samsung's website, but I haven't seen anything. I hope it comes out soon, though. I really want one!

I just ordered this last night http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-A...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280882983&sr=8-42
For $3.99 plus shipping, I figured why not.

[Official] Htc One X accessories

here you can have a look at the upcoming official htc one x accessories. thought it was a good idea to put them in a seperate thread
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
heres some detailed info on some of the neat things http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2012/02/htc-one-x-accessories-available-first-from-mobile-fun/ but the one that catches my eye is the HTC One X Speaker Dock CR S650 can just keep my fingers crossed that someone releases a case which extends the pogo pins.
strange is that when i search for more images info etc on the s650 i get this dock http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884 its the same on this this page http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884&phone=229814 and on alot of pages so i guess they got the images mixed up..

Thanks, your help is apreciated
Hope the rest of the incoming members help us keeping it like this!!!

ohh that one..
was wondering why is it call a hard shell when there is a flip there...
no way am i getting a casing with a flip cover on it.. hate those designs..
I ordered this case and it came this morning: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubberised-...MCYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1331982985&sr=8-7
First impressions- I don't like the way it's not going to completely cover the top or bottom of the phone, it also seems like the kind of case that clips on - not a big fan - (I'll see how it fits when I get the device) - material seems good though (hard plastic).
May be a good stop gap until casemate get their tough cases out (loath to pay 30 quid though, but always found them to offer A+ protection)
@jermx i think this is a stand becouse this case is transparent

but noticed something, and maybe its just me having a complete lack of sleep (long story), but it seems the dock uses micro usb port of the phone, but if you think about which way you dock the phone, wouldnt that be the wrong side of the phone?
can someone confirm, or am i going crazy?

I thought the exact same thing earlier. The location of the micro usb plug on there would mean that the micro usb port on the phone would have to be on the right hand side, but in all pictures it's been on the left hand side.
Perhaps it's a mirror image, for some reason?
the phone has 5 metal dots on the back. these are the dock connection. not the micro-usb port.

One quick question - the pictures of this with the SGN in semi-horizontal position show the table with the screen upside down. Can you flip the SGN so that the screen is the right way and still be able to get the s-pen out ? Sorry - stupid question, I know, but I think this is exactly the case I'm looking for. I need something that can be (almost) horizontal and still be able to plug the charger in at the bottom.
Thanks !

The orientation is with the bottom of the tablet to the hinge of the case. As far as charging. No problem with case open. With case closed Ive taken a scalpel and cut a small slit to allow the power connector access. No biggie.

Thanks, bocosrs. Sorry to be a dummy, but does that mean that, if you have it lying semi-flat, the screen and whole tablet is upside down with the power connector at the 'top'? I really like this case, but have my sgn on my desk charging all day and want it lying flatish. It's not much good if that means it has to be upside down.
Good idea about the scalpel, btw.
Thanks again.

Only if you have the "smart cover" folded like shown in the picture. Otherwise just open like a book and lie flat. Also dont forget that even if the tablet is upside down the orientation sensor will flip the image.

Probably not. They're not easy to find unless you look on Amazon and eBay from Hong Kong vendors. Most people are concerned with protecting their screen, hence the notebook style covers.

Looking for a good stylus for my phone.

Hello world.
It baffles my mind how could cheap ebay styluses get good reviews, the 3 USD or lower ones. Yeah, on Amazon.com (they are sold in bulk) they get 4 star review. The thing is I used to order a few of those for my iPad and Android phone a couple of years back and the result was it doesn't even register on my devices. They were simply junks, or maybe I did something wrong? Is it because the protective film?
What stylus would you recommend for decent note taking on my Huawei G7 phone?
What price range am I looking at? Would those el cheapo ones work?
Thanks
I also want some advises on the pad/phone stylus. Operating my phone with my finger will get the screen dirty.
But where to settle your stylus pen down? Your phone doesn't even have a space to put it in.
