Official Samsung Dock with Nexus 4 Quick Review - Nexus 4 Accessories

Just wanted to make a quick review since i didn't find one in the whole forum and on google, about the official samsung dock, paired with our beloved Nexus 4, in the past few days i took the time to inspect the Nexus 4 size VS the official dock size and came to the conclusion that it would fit, so i bought it, a few days later BOOM new dock and when i tried my theory... well it worked like a charm =) it fits perfectly and look great Just take a look it fits perfectly, charging is as fast as directly connected, i will keep updating this thread with more details, right not i don't have a 3.5 mm AUX cable to test it, but it's a complete "GO" to the people thinking of getting one, thanks for reading folks.

What Samsung model is that dock made for?

Looks like the universal Samsung dock.

Okay we really need to know about the audio out function, because otherwise this is nothing more than a glorified usb cable. Can't you just test it with headphones?

Yes please test axillary function

You must of died.
But anyways. I own this dock as my girlfriend uses it with her S2.
-Aux port does not do anything with the Nexus 4.
-Daydreams do not turn on either (unless set to activate while charging as well)
This dock is just a fancy wall charger for the N4.

How much was that dock? I use a official Samsung dock as well but its a different one then yours. I paid 11 bucks I believe.

LG WCP-700 wireless charger works perfectly

For people looking for a wireless charger pick this up. Works 100% perfectly with Nexus 4, been using it for a week without a problem at all. I just ordered another one for home as I was using first one in office.
Sold on Amazon and in Verizon stores. Absolutely loving wireless charging. Any questions let me know.

Amazon has it for $45-50 shipped and Verizon sells it for $50.

Excellent charger
I can confirm that it does indeed work with a tpu case. And it works great. Some of the comments on amazon complaining about all the beeping is really crazy as it only does it when you first place it down. Otherwise it is quiet. I have two, one for myself and the other for my wife and they both work the same way regarding the beeping.
Again highly recommend this charger and about where you place the phone to charge it is very good as you do not have to place it exactly in the same position.
I just got the charger today, it charges really fast but the phone also becomes hot really quickly too. Is this normal?

Mine gets a bit warm while charging with the WCP-700, so I believe it is normal.

I'd say so, I do notice mine getting pretty warm on there

So I decided that I want to get one today, since it's probably going to be a while before the charging orb is out, but I can't find it in stock at a reasonable price anywhere! There aren't any in stock on Amazon or Newegg, and they don't seem to exist on Verizon Wireless's web store.
Anyone know where I can find one for around $50.00?

I got mine at a VZW store today for $40.12! (25% discount from a friends account!)
Nice! I guess I'll have to try my local VZW stores then. Crazy how quickly they all sold out. Even the Energizer single position charger is sold out on Amazon!
Does your WCP-700 charge your phone to 100%? Mine only charges to 97%
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Broke down and bought one from Verizon today. Works awesome.
And mine seems to be stuck at 97% right now.

That may be normal behavior. I'm just trying to get a sense for what other people are experiencing.

This is expected behavior. It charges to 100% BUT if you remove it and put it back on when the phone has over 95% charge it will not charge until it drops below 95%. So if you let it charge it will go all the way up to 100% but if you then remove it and put it back it will not beep and the battery indicator will turn green until the battery drops below 95%.

LG / Nexus 4 OEM car dock?

Check out the video below, specifically at 0:35. Anyone think thats a wireless charging dock for the nexus 4?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZGDcthVyD0
sure looks like it
I don't know, but it is great ad. Best I have seen for an android phone!
It looked like a universal dock the first time I saw it. Nice avatar by the way. Can't wait for the second half of the season.

No way. There's no cable going to it.
It would probably never be released like every other accessory Google has planned.

The battery in the status bar, though, doesn't have the electricity bolt icon that you see when it charges. So I'd assume it's just a regular stand. Not wise when using GPS constantly

I'd say PRECISELY because it's a commercial, they would want to make the charging part really clear. At least from the years I worked in publicity video production, the director and representatives from the ad agency and brand itself were always paying huge attention to details like those.

Probably because it's a commercial and they didn't want to show any clutter. I'm going to go ahead and think it's an inductive charger car dock that somehow magically also does audio.

I have to assume if it was a legitimate accessory for the Nexus it would not have a universal cradle as shown.

I don't see how this could be a charger its not connected to a power source so i can't see how it would charge your phone through just the windshield would be nice though but highly doubtful
this is the closest i found to a charger/dock for it which would be nice but i don't use my gps enough for this

Which mhl HDMI adapter works best? i535

M.A.D.gs3
Get the official Samsung one and don't mess around with any of the third party ones. It's expensive, but from everything I've read it's the only one that really works. Make sure you get the 11 pin for the S3, NOT the 5 pin.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Yeh that's the one I bought awhile back but its crap, every few seconds it drops out.
M.A.D.gs3
Are you sure it was the official Samsung one? I only ask because I ordered what was advertised as the official one on Amazon but it wasn't.
I actually ended up getting a mini hdmi cable for my old Droid X to hook up to the tv since it was cheaper and it works great.

Kickstarter backed microSD card reader!

Just received my kickstarter backed project, microSD Card reader. Project cost me about $12
Www.meenova.com
This adapter allows you to plug an sdcard into your phone microSD port and transfer/read files.
I have to say this thing came out really nice, the blue light was a nice touch. So far its worked on everything I've plugged it into (galaxy nexus, nexus 7, Gs4, RAZR M)
Package contained:
MicroSD to microUSB reader
MicroUSB to USB adapter for PC
Keychain clip
Here are some pictures for you guys

Thanks , this look pretty cool. Cheap enough, just ordered one :good:
They are only 3 months behind from eta that's pretty good lol there is a kickstarter project that I'm waiting to deliver since October 12 lol.
But this looks pretty cool might have to order one :u

Yeah they had a problem with quality of the first few samples, and then some machine broke at the mold factory so not entirely their fault for the delay.

Very cool idea..but shouldnt the key ring be on the cap side? I mean, you want your keys dangling from that plug into your phone? Or do you want to take this off your ring when you need it?

I didn't take a photo of the clip that attaches to your keyring, its a quick disconnect clip so you don't actually dangle your keys from your phone .

As long as you have otg support, which I think you need to be rooted for on the nexus 4, but don't quote me.

Nice one, cheers for posting this, ordered one mainly to use with nexus 7 but this could be great at transfering stuff quickly to my S4 and the advantage of being small and unobtrusive like an otg cable and flash drive.
This could really change my mind about getting the upcoming nexus 5.Although i think they're great phones I thought i'd never get one because of the poor storage and no sd slot but as the extra space i need would be for music files i would only need to plug it in when listening. rest of the time it would be on my keys.
My only concern is how secure and safe from knocks the sd card is when inside the reader and inside my pocket. I'm pretty forceful when dry humping bins and bollards when waitnig for buses. Can anyone comment on this? (The sd card safety not my dry humping?)

Nice.... full sized usb adaptor included too. Looks like this will be my new one for all flash drive

Wireless charger

I'm thinking about picking up the wireless charger for this phone and wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I would live to know the charge time by comparison to the wall charger, is there much if a difference? Any input with someone that has experience with it would be great, thanks

I dont have the official charger but I can confirm that the Nokia DT-601 works very well and charges the N5 quickly and is quite a bit cheaper

I love wireless charging. It's just no hassle, and since I'm kind off paranoid of breaking the micro USB port on my N5 because it's really tight, it works. It's not as fast as the plug in charger that came with the phone due to the inherent inefficiencies or wireless charging, but it's still pretty quick. Depending on how low your battery is when you start charging, it would probably take 30-60min longer. But, I'm never really in a rush, and always keep my battery topped off, so I'm never in dire need for a super fast charge.
A word of caution though: STAY AWAY FROM THE TYLT VU. It has a serious issue with sporadically overheating your device. Check out these threads:

Once you go wireless, you won't go back.
I'm using my Nexus 4 Orb and it works great. It is a little slower than charging via a micro-usb cable, but if you're like me and charge overnight, it won't be an issue.
You're kidding.

I have the Nexus orb charger that works great. I had bought the new Google one too that is flat and square but I hated it so I sent it back.
I bought the zens charger lady week and I am liking it more than any others so far. Easy to line up and dim light that shows is charging.
