External battery charger

Can anyone recommend a decent external charger for the Desire HD battery? Thinking of getting a spare battery but want a way of charging outside the phone.
Cheers.

Have a look at this desktop cradle. I like its design:

that's for the Desire isn't it?

I guess it's better waiting until China DHD launches for good accessories

Yeah, you can usually find these things on eBay for pennies. Maybe in a week or two...

I have one of these that I occasionally use for my G1. It isnt amazing and charges very slowly, but with a high quality battery it should help a little on the go!

Do not you think a direct charger like Energizer XP8000 instead of externa battery charger?

Heres a review:

Did someone have ever used a charger like this?
http://www.a-solar.eu/EN/micro_charger_am500.htm
It's a solar portable charger with a battery of 1900mAh.
I'd like to buy it but I don't know where... do you know a online shop that sell it and send it in italy?
thanks

something like this?

0 feedback and 0 bids for a chinese seller is making me wary of ordering

I've gone for it, but with someone with feedback -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....336224&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3296wt_905
Will take about 3 weeks to get here though!

me too!

Ok I'm in as well

i found this one
ebay Item number: 120640014972 (new users aka me cannot post external links )
which is a battery powered portable charger rated at 5000maH and charges the battery in the phone.
that battery cover worries me so i dont want to have to open it too often. also it means you dont have to wait for the device to reboot. not sure how accurate that 5000mah is, but i should be able to fit that and my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours to charge.
not ideal, but i dont trust non-brand batteries, especially if im importing them from china since i have no legal comeback if it explodes in my phone because they are not a UK company.

This is the link -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....e-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2465wt_1139
It does look really good actually. I like that you can charge two devices at one too. Anyone have any experience of these? I think I'll order one...

Mobilefun do one for around £20 that docks the phone and has a slot for a spare battery to charge aswell. Not in stock last I looked, but ill be buying one of those.

External battery pack recommendations?

Has anybody had a good experience with a portable external battery back which they would recommend for the 7.0 plus?

Great question...
I have a New Trent IMP-500 that has worked fantastic for me with every USB charging device I've plugged into it... Until I got the Galaxy Tab. The Tab will not charge on this battery.

Here is my video review of the New Trent IMP99D. Works great on Tablets. You just use the charger cord that came with your Galaxy tab 7.0 plus.

I use the RAVPower rp-pb03 5600mAh external battery charger for 2 months, Performs great! 7 DC tips was provided enable you to charge most cell phones and other mobile devices. Small but Powerful and convenient.

I build a foldable triple 7" solar panel with battery pack and usb output myself for my travels and camping in australia. Lasts over night. I love it, feels funny to suck energy just by a small amount of sunlight
150 bugs at all.

I highly recommend the Newtrent units
We have a few floating around the house. The newer ones charge via MicroUSB so there's no extra wallwart to misplace, and you can get the Samsung adapters from Dealextreme (as mentioned) or from Newtrent. I second the IMP500 recommendation - nice and compact, and even has an included LED flashlight and laser pointer. It's my cat's favorite toy.:silly:

I have a "PowerGen Duo-Power 8400mAh", which has just enough power to charge the tablet once from 20% to full. Got it from amazon, but I think it's floating around under a couple of different brand names.
Came with a Samsung adapter and a couple others. Can be charged itself via micro USB. So on a longer tour I am actually recharging that thing with something I built that runs on my bike's dynamo (With another 30Whrs battery buffer in between). Endless possibilities

The New Trent iTorch 52D comes with a cable specifically labeled for the Galaxy Tab. $29.95 at Amazon.

Nokia Fatboy wireless charging pillow

Anyone knows when will this goes on sale? And for how much?
It's designed for the Lumia 920, but since it also use the Qi wireless charging standard, it works with the N4 (confirmed by a N4 reviewer on youtube, can't remember which video that is though).

I'm not buying a charger for a third of the money I spent on the phone, no matter how fancy it looks like.

Looks like I finally know what to ask for for X-Mas from the GF. She always gets pissed because anytime I want something I just buy it instead of waiting to get it as a gift.
EDIT: I just sent her the link and her response was "If you buy that before Christmas I'm going to punch you in the face." ...looks like I did a good job this time.

I think the FatBoy looks cool and easy to carry when travelling, we just need it to go down in price!

Does anyone have a clue if it's actually cushioned (inside stuffed with some sort of foam etc.) or if it's just covered in a pillow sleeve? Reason I ask is I plan on having one of these on my bed, since I sleep in a big bed and don't use a bedside table.

Where from? I can only find it here at that price... http://www.airetechit.co.uk/e-shop/products.php?394676 but Ive never heard of them before.

Thanks for the pictures...how stable is the phone on that charger? It's pretty small, looks like it could easily fall off

Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times, when the phone is OFF it charges fine.
Wonder if its software related?
Model:
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/accessory/dt-900/
I bought it in the old fashion way, you know on the outside world.
I am going back to the store to check if it works on their display charger, maybe I just have a faulty one.

Hi, any update if the nokia Qi charger would work? Did you managed to test the phone with the chargers on display? appreciate it. thanks!

For those of you interested in the Fatboy Pillow, do note that inside the pillow part is the exact same DT-900 charger that many have reported problems with (see jmquez above). Not sure if the pillow cures those, but it's worth keeping in mind before spending ~$100.

...On the other hand, this is one of those things where having multiples would be totally fine.

That thing looks like something I would bump in the night and catapult my phone into something hard. Looks cool though.

Thought i'd post this on a few of the threads regarding wireless chargers so people can see that there are other options out there other than the LG pad, nokia pillow etc...
Found this whilst browsing for other QI chargers. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.

I believe it was rumored to be 60. A bit pricey but I'll take a chance. It looks nice.

Looks like the QiMini, a few threads below this one. The other is slated to ship by end of March.

No way I would pay 60. Could not pull the trigger on the nexus orb because of the price.

For the same price, I'd rather get the ORB.

I keep seeing slipping issues with the orb and that's why I never got it. I've been looking for a wireless charger but I'm to scared to go with the orb becuz of the issues people are reporting. This and the qmini look like the second best option IMO.

not EVERYONE is getting this slipping issue. If you have problems just return it. I'm 100% happy with mine. My phone sticks to it like no other and does not slip.

Same here. And I love the idea of having a smaller one for travel purposes.

These things would still be a rip off at 20 quid, what on earth are than manufacturers playing at.

Where there is demand, you will continue to see these exorbitant prices. Give it another year or so, prices will fall.
Having said that, this charger looks nice.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to an exchange for one that doesn't slip.

Problem is none should be having the slipping issue, especially if I'm paying 70 bucks for one. Why risk wasting my money on something I'm not sure will not have a problem. I'll pass on going through all of that hassle and look elsewhere (which I'm currently doing).

I may actually consider this for my PT Cruiser console mod if I can't figure out how to build one myself. Expensive? Sure, but considering I could just cut a hole, glue in this bad boy and wire it into the car pretty easily, may be worth the time saved...

Word. Ripoff at a tenner even. Predict they'll be that cheap in a year. Just gouging the early adopters.

Docking Station for Pure?

Ordered a FUZ dock. It has a couple of thicknesses of the pad, so I am going to see if it will work with my soon to be Pure. Will post.

Interested in the results. I was hoping to find one that works with the Pure.

I think i'm just going to design and print one after my phone gets here Wednesday. Wish I had exact dimensions before it got here.

I hope that the Seidio dock for my S4 will work with the XPE.

Connector is in the right direction
Compatible with with: LG Nexus 4 / Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note 2, Skyrocket, Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II (AT&T, T-Mobile, International), Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Google Nexus S, Google Nexus S 4G / Motorola Moto X (2013)

My Sinjimoru Dock works great. I had to use a USB to Micro USB adapter to connect the charging cables but it recognizes the super charger just fine.

I have been using this dock for some days now. And it has been working great for me also. I also have mine plugged into a Motorola Turbo Charger 15 wall wart. It shows as TurboCharging when connected. So the cable has to be USB 2.0.

You have to pair it with last year's Motorola Turbo Charger brick. It won't do it by itself.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

I see. I did pair it with a charger that does give me turbo when connected directly. But it seems to lose turbo once I put the cradle in between by phone and my quick charger. I will try with another charger I have and see if I get better results.
Do you have a link for the one you can confirm works for you?

Try docking with the screen unlocked. You should see the TurboCharge message show up. It's been working for me with the dock and 15 TurboCharge wall plug.
You can also try docking with the device totally off. You will see the TurboCharge message for sure then.
And of course, the device has to be below 100% charged when trying.

You sirs are correct. Getting Turbo through the craddle.
Thanks!!!

Anyone know if the Belkin dock with fit with a Supcase one?

My dock from Seidio works fine and passes thru turbo charging

I have a seidio surface case and would like to get a charging dock
Are you guys using cases with the docks you are recommending?
