did you ever get the cable you were looking for as i’ve also been on the hunt for one
No, I haven’t found one. I did see similar posted here. But it doesn’t look to be all that flush where the micro usb wraps under the tablet.
I posted a pic of the “flush” cables in that other thread this morning. Check it out. They aren’t quite as flush as I had hoped.
Anyone have Insignia NS-P10A7100? I have problems with WIFI, dropped many times.
I bought that model in Dec. '16 and had the same Wi-Fi issue. I exchanged it for another and it had the same issue. Finally returned it for a refund.
Best Buy now has an updated model, the NS-P10A8100. However, I have no experience with that model. Maybe someone else who has it can chime in.

So I made my cables for dirt cheap with just a little bit of soldering. I also mounted my tablets for dirt cheap using regular Velcro.
Here’s the part where I got the flat right angle Micro USB Tip:
After disconnecting the Flat Ribbon from the charging receiver, I just needed to find which side was positive and which side was ground:
Since this is for charging only, All I needed was the Vcc and Ground Wire. The flat ribbon cable is coated with plastic so you have to expose the copper.:
I cut the other 2 wires off (White and Green), cut the ribbon cable down the middle (to fully separate for soldering) and tinned both the flat ribbon and Red and Black Wires.
I used 3 pieces of heat shrink tubing. Smaller diameter pieces for the Red Wire (Vcc) and Black Wire (Ground) and one larger diameter to cover the entire connection for a cleaner look.
The rest of the pictures will show the rest:
Considering the tablet already came with the cable, this cost me about $2.00 and about 1 Hour of Labor.

Hi. Im using fully kiosk on a nexus 7 as always dashboard. Worked fine until perhaps 2 weeks ago, after which I now have to relogin every some hours of there has been no activity.
So at least every morning I and every afternoon after work I need to relogin.
Anyone knows what changes or how to make it stay logged in?
Re-login to what? Android? SmartTiles? ActionTiles?
Very sorry, forgot that important part. Relogin to smarttiles running in fully browser
-
Switch to ActionTiles and your problem is likely solved.
-
SmartTiles login session length is determined by the SmartThings IDE session cookie, which suddenly depends on the Samsung login information; so it’s a big mystery and out of our hands.
Hi
As I dont have much time to learn and setup a new dashboard, I tried a lazy solution.
On my androind tab I use Daydream which activated an app called “Lucid daydram screensaver” which displays family pictures.
And I have Tasker running on it for various purposes.
So I created a Profiles that triggers every hour , and that runs a Task, which
- Test if Lucid app is currently running (meaning no body is currently using the dashboard)
- If Yes, then load the Fully Kiosk browser app, which automaticalitty reloads the Smarttiles
This has keept my Smarttiles “alive” for 1-1½ weeks now, without having to relogin at any time. So this works for me at the moment. Then purpose I will make the later 
Yessir, I visualize a great solution. Let me know if it’s not been addressed and I sketch it up for you.
check this…color codes
Do you still have this? It’s been a few years, and I wandering if you found this to be sturdy…

I still have it, but my old tablet died. So will get a new one later this month, Funny the mount is fine but the tablet hosting my dashboard is dead. 
Very cool-short usb cable-where is it actually being powered from?
From the light switch below. My “plan” was to find a recessed 1 gang box and then use an outlet that has usb on it and plug directly into that. However, that proved hard to find but I did manage to “find” something like this…Didn’t use it…
I guess that was my question because I’d like to put tablets up that are powered without having to install new outlets so if I hate the system it’s more reversible without a bunch of recessed outlets half way up my walls.
So how did you power the 5v usb from the light switch and keep it all behind the wall?
