Cradle - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone using a cradle for Optimus One? I was wondering if other phone cradles will fit?

You can always use an universal one like this one,but the original LG SDT-140 is very very beautiful..although a little pricey too (orange sells it for 18 pounds and I've seen it on ebay too at the same price)

The original cradle is not just beautiful but also of solid build.
Shiny and solid, what a joy to use.
But expensive....

Cradle, where to buy?
Cannot find LG SDT-140 on ebay.
Where could I buy it? I am no Orange customer.

Verizon
I have an optimus t and use the Verizon Vortex dock...it works beautifully and looks decent also.

Hi,
You can find it if you search for item number 400192261278.

Okay I have the cradle but I don't think it's worth the money. It doesn't do much.

I was thinking of getting one but if I will be using any case then it will be a hassle just to remove it & put the phone on the cradle.

Using Dealextreme plexiglass-cell-phone-holder sku33310
and glueing the micro-usb connector in place would be a cheaper solution.

Thanks rikux! It seems a cool & inexpensive alternative.

why is it so expensive i realy want one

Will this work?

It's intended for a HTC Desire but as far as I see, the micro usb conector is right in the middle, in the same spot as our P500.

Probably won't.
Because for Desire this connector is much closer to the back lid:

i will get the original cradle because of the great stylefactor. also the 3,5mm-jack is an argument for that cradle for those who need it.
the shop where i can order it wants 32€, way too much in my opinion, i will have to wait for cheaper times
it does seem too much in my opinion
but it also looks so sexyyyy lol

Yup, quite sexy. Unfortunately it's also wasting a lot of space on the desk - I doubt I'll buy it.

which shop?
german distributor shop where i can order it (i have a little job in the business...)
I have a third party desktopcharger, made by Veripart.
costs 39euro and it has a slot for extra battery to charge.
it looks good and works great. worth every euro it costs
i'd pay up to 30€ for it.. too bad it costs more.
@ diamondMflexx
pictures pictures please
Here's a review (in Dutch) of the Veripart Cradle with extra battery slot, including pictures.
anybody know of a place where i can get an extra battery and cradle together for a discounted price..?

Bluetooth car Dock-Parrot Minikit-NICE! Will it work?

Has anybody tried this vehicle bluetooth dock? Looks pretty bad ass and would work with future phones. Maybe this could be my last dock for a while? Just wondering about the volume rocker on the sensation. Looks like accessing the charging port might not be an issue.
Looks well made and not really a bad price when you price the official sensation dock (that doesnt have bluetooth)
What do you think?

That's a good price, was looking at that but was expensive, better the the OEM dock.. Parrot is a good Bluetooth brand, and it should work, don't see why it wouldnt...

Looking at the pics makes me miss my n1 a little lol...
But personally I have never used parrot, but looks like a good alternative. But this tread reminded me about my BlueAnt S4 that I have stashed away because it didn't play well with my Nexus one with MIUI.
Just ordered it along with a sonos s5 zone player and zone bridge.. gotta love wireless
That product screams "Break into this car and steal me... im worth it"

Yes the wonderful N1. I ordered a new one from ebay for $250 bout a week or so ago, gave my original to my girl when i got the EVO 4G. It looks like the senation may spend a few days down being replaced so the N1 will make a nice back-up.
Bump... Its hard to believe nobody has tried one of these...on any phone? mine has shipped so it wont be long now

To be honest I'm not surprised. Leave your phone in your bag and carry a tiny little handset when you don't need the screen. Good idea - wonder if it is coming to the UK.

Ther's no reason why they won't selling it in UK.
that charging dock looks pretty nice
Magnetic? How do you eat that and how it differs from the standard dock.
Magnets? How do they work??

Will be Xperia Z compatible, seems only XZ Ultra ???
Only xz ultra, magnetic dock is compatible with.

XZ ultra uses something similar to the apple magnetic connector so no, unfortunately this dock won't be compatible with XZ.
Anyone know if the dock is charge only or can you transfer data with it too? It looks to be only for charging as far as I can tell.

It's not for the XZ and it's only to charge a phone.
Why is it that its too hard for them to make a universal charging dock. Thats why its not feasible to buy their docks. If they can make compatible to all their phones. Im sure they have a good profit here.

Zero reviews..
EDIT: Even cheaper on eBay.. ~$17: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Slimport-HDM...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232d60cf49&_uhb=1
So I just received my Kanex Slimport Adapter and it is built very well. The cable attached to the adapter is ~12 inches long.
You can charge it via the built-in micro-USB port on the adapter itself.

Thanks for sharing. Makes me want one even more now, however that Chomecast is surely tempting as well (so long as I can find one available!)
How is the image/video/audio quality on your TV? Any signs of compression or frame drops? Just wanting to know what to expect if I do buy one.
to those who have bought this, what are your thoughts? I was going to get one, checked amazon, and it didn't have good reviews.

Screen cracked.... Sell it and buy a new Nexus 5, or have it repaired?

So I take care of my phones, pristine condition!
I left my phone on the coffee table, and no less than 5 minutes later, my dog decides to be insanely hyper and wacks it with his tail about 10 feet across the room....
It shouldn't have broken as the room is carpeted, but I think it hit the screen on the corner of my entertainment center.
In other words, it's completely smashed. The screen still works and responds to inputs just fine, everything else is perfect, just a shattered screen...
So would it be cheaper/better/faster etc. to sell it on ebay and just buy a new one, or send it in to have the screen repaired?
Or how easy is it to replace it myself, and where would I buy a new screen?
On ebay you can get lcd assembly for around 120 USD.
And watch tear-down video (Le55ons on youtube) about Nexus 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg
you can decide for yourself if you can do it.
Is that much of a difference in cost than sending it in?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I would get a new one regardless of cost.

Well, on top of the replacement cost you will pay labor/shipping ... So, you might be better at the end just buying new device
Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do then. Buy a new one and hope to get some decent recovery selling this one on ebay for parts or something....
