Desk Stand

Anyone got a decent desk stand for their trinity? I'm after one. If you can post links to where you got your that would be great. (already did a search and no luck).

you mean a cradle ?

I have got the Trinity Cradle (Not the one with a spare battery charger place) from Expansys.
Also bought the Car Kit from Expansys - Car kit is handy, esp when going to places and need the GPS to last longer.

I got mine on ebay from Hong Kong. It was very cheap but took forever to ship. I should have bought it from egadgetdepot.com, where I origianally got my Trinity.

I also bought form egadgetdepot.com my trinity and the "desk stand". It gets the work done.
You can also look at boxwave.com, their screen protectors are very good also, not as good as the ones from shieldzone.com (they dont have shields for P3600 yet)
Good luck

I have this one too and I hate it... it always turns the camera on if you put the Trinity in!

Agreed, mine turns the camera also on .... damn thing!

Anyone has this here?
http://www.expansys.at/p.aspx?i=145160&asource=P3600_DE
Does it also switch on the camera?

I'm pretty sure this one won't ....

I just got this on ebay, it came from China pretty cheap. It has 2 plugs in the back, one to charge via USB and the other is a regular plug.
Also, it has a slot on the inside so the camera button doesn't get pressed when charging. Strangely, it comes with a large stylus that goes into a hole and lights up blue.

No, I dont think so... this is the original HTC cradle... but it is quite expensive

Kidigi Deluxe Desktop Cradle?

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1184
Has anyone seen it on sale in the UK yet other than on ebay?

Looks nice. Especially when the additional battery is included.

I found an even nicer one! http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1183
Not to mention car holders - nice stuff! Unfortunately I cannot find any place to buy it from.. ???

I emailed them the other day about these, they said they'll be in the UK at the end of may at mobilefun.

Thanks for that, I will keep my eye on their site.

These look really nice, will keep an eye out for those coming on sale.

You can pre order from the site
Desire Deluxe Cradle

Man that is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicest one so far!! I love it!!

do you think the other cradle for pre order is meant to be the elegant cradle? because the stock picture doesn't look much like the one on the kidigi website

Even better then! I really want one, think they look really nice.

I really like the car mounts they have for the Desire. I just wonder if they will activate the car dock mode (as in the upcoming original car mount)

Where can I find this on eBay? Searching for deluxe cradle yields no results...

it's not available for sale yet

I had one of these for my last handset (HTC S740). Different fitting but basically the same.
I used it on my nightstand to charge my phone overnight and can say the following.
It feels a bit cheap but does the job 100%. I was always able to leave the house in the morning with a fully charged phone AND a fully charged battery.
The connections are a bit odd and looking at the Desire version, nothing has changed.
The cradle has TWO USB MINI (yes Mini not Micro like the Desire has) connections. This is not a big deal as the phone plugs into the cradle and not the cradles mains charger.
One connection takes the power in and the other connects to your computer for sync. I am guessing host USB is not enough to charge the phone and a 2nd battery.
And finally, there are plenty of these on eBay for less money and looking at the delivery dates, they will get to you even from Hong Kong sooner.

Hi, have you found one of these available in the UK yet?
This is the one I want now, looks smart
(removed link because I've been a lurker and not a poster)

These are now shipping from Mobilefun, got a text this morning telling me mine had shipped. I placed the order on the 9th May.................

Has anyone received this yet? Can anyone confirm if this will hold the the phone with the flexishield?
I really like the look of this but can't imagine taking off the flexishied everytime put it on the cradle

Cheapest price in the UK?

I have finally made my decision as to which tablet to buy - yep you guessed it the TF300T. It's exactly what I am after in terms of spec/price. I was hoping for some advice as to the best place to buy from (I am in the UK). Not fussed about the dock so hopefully I can find one cheaper without? Ideally the white one but from what I can tell it's not readily available here. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I have also found it for £330 delivered from Pixmania (most likely be an EU version, not a problem for me becasue the first thing I will be doing is unlocking it!), which is for the tablet only, no dock. I really don't see myself using the dock all that much in any case.
edit: Should have mentioned it is the blue version.

Good price but in my opinion the dock is worth the extra £50, if anything for the fact it acts as a stand and the extended battery, plus the fact of the expansion ports.

Nice! Ordered, and to think I started with a budget of £250 for a Galaxy Tab 2 !!

I bought mine from pixmania too. Paid about 380 I think but got 12 quid off through quidco.
The dock is definitely worth it IMHO. The extra battery, ports and the fact that it acts like a case when you aren't using the tablet are great. You'll be surprised.

I went for white in the end. I am still not sure I did the right thing as I doubt I will use the dock. I just keep having that feeling that maybe I should of got the Tab 2 10.1 for £250. I'll probably change my mind once it comes.
Is the screen really as dim as people say in reviews?

The screen is a little dim yes. But to be honest if you don't want to use it outdoors then it shouldn't be an issue. The only time i have wanted a brighter screen is in work as for some reason the fluorescent lights in my office make the screen a little hard to see, but nothing I can't live with. It has so much going for it that I can live with a slightly dim screen. Obviously ymmv.

I played with one in a Comet store and as a result I have cancelled my order. It is a great tablet and I can see the merits of having a keyboard however once the keyboard is attached it's almost the same weight as my 11" Lenovo. I can't see myself choosing it over that. I think for some this would be a great device but for me I found the screen lacking a little and a little heavy.
It's a great tablet but just not for me. Shame.

Do people think there's going to be a price drop on the tf300 after the tf700 is released in the uk on the 31st of August?
Although it seems that only Amazon are going to stock it.

Found a dock that works with the Z1 Compact

Hi all,
I just received the DK31 dock from here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Magnet...=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1391267223&sr=1-1
I wasn't sure if it would work with the Z1c as Sony have a new version DK32. However, I can confirm the magnetic dock works fine with one of the included inserts. And the best thing is, you can take the dock apart by the screws and just use the cable instead of the dock if you want to.
Price is on par with other official mobile phone docks but it's pricey if you just want it for the magnetic charging cable.
Cheers,
Pete.

can DK32 not taken apart like DK31?

Nope.. or rather... it works n a different way.
There is a microUSB socket at the back of the cradle instead of the built in cable

Why does that dock have a full-sized USB output on it?

Hi also a new owner of Z1 Compact. Tried the dk31 in the sony store today but that did not fit my z1 compact? Does z1 compact actually fit in dk31

DK31 has interchangable sized fittings.

Thanks for the info well the sony store guy lost a sale was going to buy the dock there and then. Will check sony store in central tomorrow.

Just got the phone today and came here to report but thankfully you have done it already. Now I don't have to spend more money on another one.

Dock arrived today from Amazon. looks just like the d32 but not of the same Sony quality which is to be expected i guess. Fits the phone perfectly and does whats required...charges it.
All in all very please considering its half the cost.

Cant honestly tell you and would not know how to check. I am using the standard charger and cable which is plugged into the micro usb connector in the back of the dock. Seems to charge pretty quick to me. Dont really know why the standard usb connector is there really.

Has anyone seen a similar product on ebay? Amazon don't send to where I live

+1 on the cheap Z1 dock. Mine arrived yesterday.
Amazon also stocks little usb attachments which convert standard micro usb to the magnetic charging type. Confirm these work also - they just hang a little loose, but seem to charge while sat on the desk just fine and save me fiddling with the micro usb flap.
PS. Noticed the cheap dock has an additional USB port which can charge the smartwatch at the same time.

more stock due approx 20th February - DK32
Clove.co.uk will have stock of the official dock on 20 February £24.99

I bought a cheap no-name magnetic charger from ebay (bad idea, I know) - it was supposed to be compatible with the Z1 so I thought it would work with this. My Z1c didn't recognize it initially, then switched off and seemed to be bricked - couldn't get it to boot up and just got the flashing red notification light (I had 75% battery remaining when I tried to connect the charger). A day later it started working again, but I was panicking for a moment. I'm going to buy the official DK31 dock and remove the charger from that.

Bought the dk32 dock on Amazon and am disappointed. I thought it integrated the charger too when in fact you plug the charger into it.
Overpriced (32€) for what it is

Hey Dcmtnbkr
How is that charger? I ordered mine right after you there were still 4 in-stock, it showed shipped with arrival today. Now I get an update from Amazon that it will ship on the 10th with an arrival of 14th (it was a prime item and in-stock when I ordered, not real happy). Is your's working well (not overheating, giving a full charge)? Thanks for any feedback.

Bummer to hear man! So far so good on the charger.
Let me preface this by saying that I received the charger at a pretty good discount in exchange for an honest review (not free, just not full price).
I've been using it on a 2amp charger, which I was a bit apprehensive to do since the stock charger is I believe 750ma. The watch does get warm to the touch, but certainly not hot at all and I suspect if I used it with a 1 amp or even 750ma charger it probably wouldn't get warm at all. I will try to confirm that tonight. I haven't had the watch itself long enough to say if this charger is any faster, but it seems to charge at a good rate. No problems getting a full charge on it and the battery lasts the same as it would had I charged it on the stock charger.
As for looks, it looks extremely similar but not exactly the same as my stock charger (although it's black, my charger is white). The material is almost like a matte rubber. I personally don't care for it, but I have weird things about texture and I know most people wouldn't care one way or the other. The only real difference that I noticed is that the back is slightly larger and the angle is slightly different. The LED lights on the front are a different color as well. It is a tricolor LED which shows a different color for charging, charged, and standby (nothing sitting on the dock).
The dock does have a foam ring on the bottom as well, i guess to help it not slide? Not sure if this is effective or not. Doesn't seem like it would be but I'm not sure.
Let me know if you guys have any questions, but I'm overall very happy with it.

Thanks for the review and pictures. I will let my order stand and hopefully it will ship by the end of the week. I want to keep a charger at work for those days I forgot to charge my watch at home. It is half the price of the original Samsung charger, and is perfect for my needs of an occasional charge.
I also have a Moto 360 2nd Gen and I keep an aftermarket charger at work for it. It makes the watch slightly warm also, but does a good job of 100% charging the watch.

I too ordered one when it was Prime and now it hasn't shipped yet. If you go to the original page it says not Prime eligible and won't ship until sometime in January. I don't hold out too much hope in getting it any time soon.
My question is: which aftermarket charger for the Moto 360 are you using?
Thanks,
Fred

They updated my status again and sent me the charger on the 9th. It works very well, same experience as Dcmtnbkr, does not overheat, gives me a very fast charge. The magnet is not as strong, but adequate. Overall very happy with my extra charger for the office.
I have one of those cheap aftermarket (china) Moto 360 chargers. It is just OK. It will sometimes only charge to 98% and then seem to act up, it also makes the watch a little warm. I keep it at my office for emergencies only.
That is why I was a little skeptical of the S2 aftermarket charger. Also I am charging an S2 3G version of the watch which is a little thicker, but it seems to work great.

This thread is about an aftermarket Gear S2 charger. It is about half the price of the Samsung OEM charger. It so far seems to be a great charger.
I have tried my Gear S2 on the Moto 360 charger. Very unstable results for me, will start to charge then stop, I was able to get a good charge one time, overall not a very good solution. That is why the Gear S2 aftermarket charger was interesting to me. I have seen some other threads where people are having mixed results with a Moto 360 charger.
I have also seen a wide variety of aftermarket chargers pop up on the web that advertise for the Gear S2. Some of the photos look like a Moto 360 charger, I would be skeptical of these. The link in the post is for a product that at least for me looks and acts much like the OEM charger.

I understand the thread is about a specific after market charger, I just wondered if there was something special about the wireless charging protocol Samsung is using. Had you stated the details about why you chose this one in the OP or anywhere else in the thread I wouldn't have commented.
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation I'll probably order one, it's nice to have spares.

I received the charger from the link. Seems to work well. It may run slightly hotter than the stock charger, but otherwise, it's good. The magnet is a little less strong too, but the watch is still held in place.

When I use another charger, the gear s2 connect and disconnect (the charge) many times! Does somebody know why?
