desk cradle - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

just seen this, its on pre-order though, but looks very much like the cheap G1 holders, but modified to take the SGS.
http://www.superetrader.co.uk/desktop-sync-cradle-dock-for-samsung-galaxy-p-12297.html
this one has spot for spare batterym again on pre-order, this is a good sign, more and more accessories are coming on to the market
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/products.asp?partno=SSGSCRD2ND&model=
UPDATE: the micro usb is on top, how are these charging?

Techbuy here in Aus had the legit Samsung brand desktop cradle on their listing, so I bought one. Now I get a message from them saying that the Samsung one is no longer available.... The replacement doesnt even charge the phone - instead you have to remove the battery... How disappointing.. I just hope Samsung don't keep bullshiting the public. I got conned. I really wanted that desktop charger

Yeah, these don't charge the phone, so not much use on the whole.

:-( that's too bad

I have had a Kidigi cradle charging my HTC Diamond. They have charging cradles for top USB Samsungs, but not for SGS yet: http://www.kidigi.com/product.php
Edit: An answer from the Kidigi:
We are making accessories for Samsung i9000, it's under tooling now, should be available in 40 days.
You can buy those from here: http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/index.php

yeah problem is any cradles made for SGS will have to be landscape, I cant see any positives to having the microusb on top. In my car again I have to ideally use landscape otherwise it looks messy. If they didnt want it on bottom then at least put it on the side!

Then you have to wait the Brodit Car Active Holder Mount for Galaxy S, it might be used landscape: http://www.brodit.com/ or similar.
Do you really use Desk Cradle in the Car?

er no..i mentioned that as a general comment about the microusb being on top!
and yeah heard brodit will have one out in Aug, the issue I was talking about was having the usb on top!

A nice right angled micro usb wouldn't look too bad.

Yes, the Brodit car mounts support top mount USB. See the Galaxy i5700 car mount from Brodit to get an idea of what the GS version will be like :

Optus sells the official unit on their online store. Costs $49.95. Techbuy is a crap online shop anyway, most bull**** pricing. Use Shopbot or Ebay to find the best deals but always search via Google/Bing on any online stores you find on Shopbot or read the feedback on Ebay.

Ordered, not yet arrived.

Did you ever receive the luxury stand? If so what is your opinion of it?
The lack of desk stands for this phone is really frustrating!!

If you read my other post here you will see the OEM ones have been discontinued as well as the car mounts.

I could only find one supplier for these cleaning pads - based in South Korea. There is someone else selling them on another forum, but for a lot more money than the original supplier on alibaba.com
I found one of those awesome cleaning pads on eBay by searching "android cleaner pad," $5.23 with shipping (ships worldwide from South Korea).

Ta for that - had to go look that up on ebay.com, as he's not showing on ebay.co.uk. Had to request revised total, too, as shipping to the UK isn't shown on his US auctions.

I don't see threads like this as a way to show off the "beauty" of your phone, but more to share ideas and accessories. A lot of people thought the cleaner thing the OP had was useful and looked nice, so that's what you get out of threads like this one.

You really ought not put the weight of the male race on your shoulder's Andrew, I'm sure humanity will survive without your concerns; you'll just end up giving yourself a stomach ulcer
If you felt the Galaxy S was just a "phone" you would've probably opted for a simpler device that did one thing well - but you're really missing out on a lot. As it stands mine's used for GPS navigation [hence the car charger + cradle], Internet browsing, music and video playback [hence the mini stand - TV Cable, Stereo Bluetooth - and when I can - I sneak in a game or two whilst waiting for various appointments], the HD Camera opened up further possibilities [I usually use a digital SLR, this phone is always with me and so the glass lenses look useful] and offline storage [hence the mini USB cables and large cards] - and I rather admire the aesthetics so despite the Gorilla Glass - I think cases are useful to maintain the product in as best a condition as possible.
So your concerns aside - threads like this are a pretty good way of ascertaining what 3rd party products are out there - whether materialistic or not.
Expect a better update on the stuff I've bought, particularly the car cradle - it took me a while to decide what to get!

Indeed, if there's one definite way to judge a man, it's how his phone looks Screw the fact that people want to protect their $500+ dollar investment with a case and a screen protector.
plz gtfo
I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a case and such.. I'm simply saying, I've noticed an increasing number of other guys who won't say it directly, but who believe their mobile phone may help them pick up..
But yes, I am interested in useful accessories.. Just saying...

Oh, and you can see part of the wrist strap I use, it's from a cheap LED flashlight I bought.
(not on picture) iTech Clip S35 stereo bluetooth doohickey. Haven't actually tried it with the SGS yet, got it stupidly cheap in store here (~US$12) about seven months ago, so it's technically not an accessory for my SGS.
My case with kickstand hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping it won't be too long before it joins my i9000 accessory family.

I've been using this one from Arkon that I got off Amazon for 15 bucks. It looks a lot like the picture above, and it comes with a mount for the windshield, AC vent, and dashboard. The "clamps" also have a cutoff so I can charge my G2 even when it's mounted!
I can't post the link cause I'm new...but you can look it up on Amazon.

I ordered the Arkon SM514 last night from Amazon. I've been missing my N1 car dock like crazy. I like the idea of this one from Arkon even more, because it looks like it will work great even with a case installed, and will give more angle and positioning options than the N1 dock does.
I'll post some pics once I get it installed. Can't wait!
I also ordered one of these 90 deg micro usb cables which may or may not be beneficial to use when the phone is docked. I use a USB charger in the car.
ProClip / Brodit is coming out with their custom Desire Z / G2 mount soon. It's on brodit's main site in sweden, but is not showing up on the ProClip USA site yet. I have their mount for my G1, and it's awesome. Very solid. Here's what the G2 one looks like:
Their mounts are pricey, but IMHO well worth the cost.
Dang I think we have a winner.. Oh wait, no case love?
HMM decisions decisions lol.
BTW as far as that Arkon one up top... what do you think of the cigarette lighter one?

Can anyone let me know if the Arkon mount works in landscape mode ? Since the legs are only on top and the bottom I wonder if the phone will slide out if I turn it sideways ?

hmm according to pics here - http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/assets/g2_mount_gallery/index.html you can use it in landscape mode. I am just a bit worried if the phone will not fall out in that position with nothing holding it on the bottom.
Also pics, video and manual on their website shows G2 in the product pics but not when I got to amazon or any other place that sells it. Can anyone confirm that those versions come with the extra long legs for G2 ? (part SP-SM050-LF - Extra Long Support L GN014-SBH egs (2 Pack) for larger phones)
why do you guys need to have the keyboard out while driving, doesn't make sense to me.
Also for landscape mode
http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Univers...OOZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287631801&sr=8-1
I think this is the BEST mount for the g2.

As soon as I get it, I'll let you know. Check out the youtube video from the manufacturer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH6mJB2wuko). They show it working fine in landscape. Of course that's just on a bench, not in a moving vehicle. I'll check it out for myself soon.
I'm loving the idea of being able to leave the case on to use it, though. That was one annoying thing about the N1 dock...popping the case off every time I needed to use the dock.
I also agree that driving with the keyboard out seems ridiculous.

[Q] Best Car mount for Desire HD?

Hi,
I have an universal 5$ car mount in my car, which it sticks to the windshield by Vacuum.
The vacuum suction is pretty good (comparing to my GPS other one which falls down after few minutes :\), it keeps stable for months.
But the spring arms which make pressure on both side of the mobile to hold it, are suckish.
The spring had broken 999 times and it gets really crappy (maybe a cause of the sun [its damn hot here])
So now I'm looking for a new one, I thought of universal or specificly for Desire HD,
I prefer universal so my mom and my brother will also be able to use it but if it downs the quality back to my old crap, it ain't worth it.
I'm open for any suggestion you got.
Thanks,
Yarden.
in my thread about my mazda 6 there was one who linked me a universal holder which looks to be good...
i have ordered it but havent recieved it yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124985
ah the sticky one?
I'm not sure about it, I've seen an explanation video about it and the describer lady when she plugged the phone to it, she pressed so hard to make it sticks,
I don't think that's a pleasure daily mission for me.. :\
I use a Brodit and have done for about the last 5 phones i've had! they are specific to your phone & car though so not much use to your other family members. You buy it in 2 parts, a mount specifically for you car, and a holder specific to the model of your phone. If you upgrade phone, you just buy a new holder for the phone. They are superb quality and hold your phone rock solid.

yes that is one of the options i also checked out. But in my car - it's either going to cover the vents or sit somewhere i don't like - so i opted for the universal one - which the gf also can use for her wildfire

you can use the brodit mount with a herbert richter goose mount. I've done this before with my PDA and it works a treat. Unfortunately I've already binned it as I thought I would not use it since I've sold my PDA. But now I'm looking to make another one.

Direc linking does not work so Just go to
http://www.brodit.com/
and search for desire hd.
well it seems very quality and solid.
Unfortunately after long time surfing and finding out that's a worth buying something, I realize this site doesn't sell it, and as I understand it doesn't sell it for my country (Israel)
Is there any other option to buy it from somewhere else? like ebay / amazon?
btw, I have mitsubishi lancer 05, and of course Desire HD
thanks for the tip !

Is there any other option to buy it from somewhere else? like ebay / amazon?
btw, I have mitsubishi lancer 05, and of course Desire HD

That looks interesting, is it made of plastic, and can you mount the DHD in portrait mode without slipping off the clip?

RAM Desire mount any use?
I have used the RAM arm for something else in the car but the mount is good.
You can get spares too for it from the dealer or direct and other ends fit too. Just said else where got a desire case from them and a discount when checking out dunno if it will work outside the UK but "TESCO 1" worked when I just shopped for a desire case and iphone charger.
btw Tesco is a big UK shop not a dj
But hey worth a go to save a few $$$ or £££
Steve
Yeah but 95% of these "castom" mounts for HTC doesn't fit if I use silicone case,
And I got pretty massive one from case mate (its double protection, silicone + plastic)
So it ain't useful for me.
Any way I bought that clips universal holder of exogear (for 33$ free shipping), when it arrive ill feedback here if it worths

Zens Wireless Qi Charger

Like many of you, I have been looking for a wireless Qi charger while I wait for the orb to become available. I was interested in the LG charger but it continues to be driven up in price along with the Energizer charger.
Someone on these forums mentioned the Zens charger over at wpcentral and that there was a discount when you use "holiday12". The store is for windows phones (specifically the Lumia 920), but since it is Qi, it of course should work the same. I emailed Zens and asked about the Nexus 4. They responded to me in less than 4 minutes confirming it works with it perfectly. With the great customer service and quick response, I bought 2 for the house.
This was their response:
Hi Dan,
Thank you for your email and interest in our products. The ZENS Single Charger works perfectly with the Nexus 4 as they are both Qi compatible, no need for a extra sleeve.
Best regards,
Team ZENS

They are $48.95 each and you get free shipping over $50. I ordered 2 and with the "holiday12" coupon code, it brought my total to only $83.22.
This charger looks very stylish and does not slant like the Energizer. Our phones are so slick and I don't like having to put something down on the charger just to make it work (or having to rip out a speaker).

I'm actually still a little hesitant to order these based on information from any CSOs. Those from nokia claim to be based on Qi but there is still quite a number of users complaining about issues with it. Would love to hear an update/review from OP one you get it though.

You are looking at the multiple device charger. The single charger is $48.
As far as those who are concerned whether it will work correctly or not, the store has a very good return policy and will give free return shipping within 60 days.
I do see now that it is out of stock, but it looks like it still allows you to add it to the cart. When i bought, it showed an availability date of 12/12/12, as if they were not currently in stock then.

Now OOS
I know it shows out of stock, but it let me go all the way to credit card payment info. I think they might be accepting orders and will ship when they do get them in stock. Might be worth it since all of these chargers are getting snatched up or price jumps. Plus you get the holiday discount code.
Thanks for this, I picked up the dual charger. I just couldn't buy the Energizer one it's just toooooooo ugly.

OOOOO I read the OP wrong. I was understanding that someone on the WPCentral that they mentioned it was 78$ on the actual zens website..
Yeah I see it at the right price now.
Purchased and thanked OP
BTW they ship to Canada!

That is indeed what they do. This is what they say when checking out.
Because your order contains out-of-stock item(s) (see above) and orders are held until they can ship complete, we can't guarantee delivery on a specific date. Please choose a shipping method, and we will ship your order as soon as possible. We do not bill until the day your order ships.

I'll wait . :fingers-crossed:
I’m going wait for these wireless chargers to price around $10-$15 or even $5. It’s still too early stage for this market.

Inductive charging requires drive electronics and coils in both device and charger, increasing the complexity and cost of manufacturing.

Video: Fake vs Real Spare Battery Charging System

Quick video to illustrate some of the difference. I bought the fake one on Amazon from a US based seller with Amazon fulfillment.
good info, hopefully this will help others, I was beat on one of these fake charger kits, mine came in a single package but looked like yours, I had my doubts that it was fake from the day I got it, my battery wouldnt charge all the way and died quickly, so I started digging around and researching and found it to be a fake, I ended up buying an authentic system directly from Samsung

The ironic thing is the authentic one was cheaper than the knock-off. Samsung still has a coupon for 50% of all accessories under $50, so the charging system comes to $24.50. Orders over $50 get free shipping, so I got two charging systems and a pack of Tectiles for $57 shipping
Check retailmenot for current coupons: http://www.retailmenot.com/view/samsung.com?c=4772794
Not affiliated in anyway with retailmenot or samsung, just passing it forward.
yeah I missed the 50% discount by like a week when I ordered my charger kit
I have the authentic one from samsung but mine didn't come with a wall charger... you said the wall charger 0.7 amps? In reality it should be 2amps just like the charger that came the phone no? It will charge the battery much slower

Mine also didn't come with the wall charger. But everything else looks the same.
Battery charging at 700 mah will have your battery charged in 4 hours. If your phone is on, it draws about 400-500 with the screen on idle, so it would be considerably slower.
Since it's just a charger and there isn't actual use, it charges well at 700 mah. I didn't bother looking at the fine print of the charger so I take your word for it. The charger itself should have an input and output on it's power.
Here is the sticker inside the charger...

That is definitely legit. I forgot to mention to mention the fake/foreign one has a different model number... it ends in a C instead of a U. I'm guessing maybe "China" vs "US" market? They look very similar, but there are some obvious differences besides the sticker and packaging. The LED light bleeding through the plastic is most obvious. I also noticed the Chinese version had a green PCB instead of black. I didn't do a complete teardown, but you can see it through the holes in the corner of the battery tray.
Am not so sure that those things mean that anything is fake.
For example, the original battery in my s4 says Made in Chine, assembled in china.
Those big companies produce slightly different versions of products for different markets for pretty obvious reasons.1st of all is Regulations and 2nd is demand. For example they judge that people in China are likely not going to pay 50$ for the charger so they opt for lower cost materials to drop the costs.

I agree. But when you pay for the US version, and shady sellers pawn off the lower quality foreign market product, that isnt acceptable. The product description on Amazon even warns buyers to look for the Samsung hologram on the packaging. These cheap versions, real or not, dont have any holograms and shouldn't be sold as substitutes. If you want to pay less for the foreign version on aliexpress or wherever, and you know what youre getting, more power to you!

Definitely. Nobody should be paying the price of the American market product and getting the inferior (maybe quality-wise but not performance wise). But then there are people (and i admit that sometimes am one of them) who dont care if the light shines through the plastic and i wouldnt mind paying almost 1/2 the price for that.
HELP PLEASE !!!
just got my s4 battery kit delivered ...
can any1 tell me is this fake/ oem ??
i haven't opened it yet ....
