My Nexus 10 plays external vids thru usb. Will this plugged in pogo dock allow me to play these and not lose battery life?

Hi BrianI played a video via OTG flash drive for about 2 hours. Surprisingly, the battery did drain almost the same level as if the Nexus 10 was not in the dock. I am not using the charger that came with the device. The charger is an ASUS charger supplied with another tablet. It charges the device fine.I doubt I can identify the charger that came with the device due to the plethora of devices I have accumulated.over the years. I believe the Nexus 10 was made by Samsung; I will try one of the many Samsung tablet charger units to ascertain if that makes any difference.

I believe it will. I find the Nexus 10 charges quicker with pogo pins than USB. I will play a few videos, and check battery label to be sure. Be back within a few days.

No, this will not work with the Nexus 10. The Nexus 10 has a micro-HDMI port for video output. It's micro-USB port is for charging the battery, or for attaching OTG (on the go) devices only.

I purchased my pogo charger seperately. I found it can charge the tablet while streaming video and music at the same time. The USB can't.

I use the adaptor that came with the Nexus 10. The cable is faster than the mini USB, and it keeps that port from wear and tear.

No I don't have this problem. I bet the mini usb port on your nexus is damaged. This Pogo Cable will take care of your problem.

Yes, the docking station charges the Nexus 7 via the gold pins (pogo pins) on the side of the unit. The docking station is powered by the same USB connector that originally comes with the Nexus 7. The advantage of using this method to charge your Nexus is that you will no longer wear out your USB connector due to repeated charging of your device as the Pogo pins do not require your device to "snap in" and therefore wear out.

I believe it depends on the player. I know when watching a Google Play movie over HDMI, the Nexus 7 screen shows a title screen, but that may not be this dock itself. Seeing as this dock drains your battery when the power isn't plugged in, I sent mine back and got something like this : LinkS Slimport MyDP Micro USB to HDMI HDTV Adapter For Google Nexus 4 5 7 LG optimus G pro Fujitsu Arrows Tab ASUS Padfone infinityThis works as a mirror screen and tablet screen remains on while watching Netflix but, as I say above, I'm pretty sure when watching a Play movie that it shows a title screen graphic on the tablet. Only played a Play movie once. I believe it depends on the player. I know when watching a Google Play movie over HDMI, the Nexus 7 screen shows a title screen, but that may not be this dock itself.

You would need to root and use Stickmount or not root and use Nexus Media Importer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer

Yes, this cable will allow you to attach a thumbdrive or external HD to your Nexus 7. If you are watching movies, I recommend Mobo Player. Be careful though, if you attach an external HD you will drain the battery significantly faster.

Couldn't really tell you with any authority. If the Nexus 10 is charged through a USB port, then this one should work fine.

I have owned the unit for 10 days now. I regularly charge an old NEXUS 3 and an iPad first gen, which I use for watching MP4s movies. No issues to report.

This dock is designed to work with the first model Nexus 7. It is the length of the Nexus 7 and has 4 pogo pins in the correct location. I am not sure if it will work with the newer Nexus 7, but I am certain it will not work with any of the Nexus phones (they have three pogo pins - not four), the Nexus 10 or the Nexus 5 due to its length.

I've found my dock is too flimsy, and so when I put my iphone on the dock it leans back and doesn't play anymore. It does play the mini, but it is touchy. I have found that a pig tail 30 pin cord seems more durable and plays as well or better. My new ipod nano didn't have a 30 pin connection, and so I bought an adapter, but it didn't work. Not going to buy any more docks.

I would not say that, but it did return the GB to its original battery life. I can use mine for a few days now without having to charge it, probably playing 4-5 hours a day. Absolutely worth picking up.

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!!
