Well the official dock is often sold with interchangeable inserts one for the normal battery and one for the (im assuming official, when i comes out) extended battery

It has. Check the HTC Accessories site...

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..?

its the same one they use for the hermes kaiser just moved the usb to the right spot and resale! I got sent one of these when I ordered a totally different one. cheap china knock off. Does its job but it sure does look big and boxy

Ordered an official one a while ago, still no news about it. Guess I'm gonna hit gmail to send the shop a mail.

GooseWhite QI-ELF 1A QI charger for $25 + tax

Here is the Amazon link
http://www.amazon.com/GooseWhite-Po...1RS2KAEN60CZP&qid=1377203998&s=generic&sr=1-5
I just ordered it, I will post a review once I get it...I like how it looks in the pictures, and it seems to be possibly better than the China branded ones from Ebay or Amazon....so we shall see...
here's the Amazon pictures until i have actual ones

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging

Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).

Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.

All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

man, another circle wireless charger? Why do they keep making these? Phones are not made in the shape of circles.

Yeah, that's why I got it, I'm hoping it actually IS what it says it is

I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

[Q] Dust under the screen?

Hi,
I received the Opo yesterday and I notices a darker spot. Can you give some advice? I opened a ticket with One but I am so nervous about that.
I cannot take a good picture of that. It's like a red spot. It stucks there and I can see it with brilliant colours.
Thanks
Gabriele

Hmm, did you have a invite?
I dont have any problem with it.

Yes, I had an invite. Anyone can help?

Imho it could be one of three things
a) a defect in the screen: rather unlikely based on the shape
b) glue not fully dried --> i'm sceptical it could cause this. You may want to try an UV lamp to be sure though, no harm done.
c) actual dust/air under the screen. Only an RMA could fix that

Do you know what they will do? will they send me refurbished one? new one? or will fix mine? The thing is I ordered to Germany (my sister live there) and A friend will arrive to visit in a week. if I will miss this opportunity. I will have to wait to someone else to visit her.

it looks like I have a very similar issue, and after almost two weeks opening a ticket I still have had no reply at all....

I tried to get a new one in all way. I had a long discussion with them, but nothing. For they, it's a little problem of the display and they refused to change it.
Bad assistance, but we already know that. At the end, I decided to stay with the phone .

Be watchful on eBay batteries.

USA Seller 2800mAh OEM Battery +Charger For Samsung Galaxy S5 Active G870 G870A
Do not buy or you might be disappointed. I got it today and found the label peeling off, and when I stuck it back on, it started to cover the printing.

Regrettably that it really isn't. I never had a problem with batteries marked OEM. But I guess the good news the seller refunded me the money and said to keep it our toss it out. There are still a few who believe in truth in advertising. I have reported the seller to eBay. But I doubt anything comes from that. If they don't say OEM, I know I am taking a chance to save a few bucks.

I thought everyone knows eBay batteries are junk guess I was wrong.

I have buying them for years, never a problem. I normally notice the little details, like the waves missing in the battery. (The NFC antenna) but failed this time. But at least I got my money back. If I wanted cheap Chinese batteries, I would have bought the ones for five bucks.

eBay is full of knock offs for things like batteries. Just gotta find a legit seller and stick to it.

:highfive:
There is a few legit sellers, my mistake was not looking at my saved sellers list. A mistake I am not about to repeat twice, even though this time really didn't cost me anything...

Magnetic Dock [Update]

UPDATE 2: Didn't get too much interest, but decided to go ahead and have them made anyway. There is a very limited quantity available for now, but available on Amazon for whoever wants one. Will more more if there is interest:

Super hacky but the concept works really well! Definitely workable
/Update

Hey everyone. I been seeing a bunch magnet based type c connectors popping up where you plug a small connector to your phone to which a cable magnetically attaches to for easy attaching and detaching.
Kind of like this one
Has anyone come across a similar thing but a dock instead of a cable? Basically having the same plug on the phone but being able to just put it on a dock that has the other magnetic end. The problem with phone docks is it's hard to plug the phone in and out of them. This might be a good solution.
If there isn't anything already available, I'm thinking I might make one. For those of you that have/had the Nexis 10, I'm the guy that made the extremely popular (by my standards) docks for that tablet. If there is enough interest, I can tap into everything I've learned from that project and make something like this.
What do you guys think?

That's pretty cool, and something I've been looking at doing, did you 3D print it? If so, care to share the file? if not, how did you make it?

Didn't get too much interest, but decided to go ahead and have them made anyway. There is a very limited quantity available for now, but available on Amazon for whoever wants one. Will more more if there is interest:

Really nice!
Don't have the 30 to spend right now, but if still available when the time comes, I'll definitely buy one. :good:

Will you still be able to plug a "normal" USB C cable into the phone or you have to remove the adapter that makes it magnetic?

I like it!
Typo advice for your Amazon product listing: You wrote "Mirco-USB" in the product listing! Also, it was confusing to me that you list 3 connectors in 1 item, because I am used to eBay listings where I have to specify what type... Also I think you should specify "Apple Lightning Connector" because as a non-Apple user, I initially thought that you were advertising that the dock included "Lighting".
If it was $30 like the guy above me said, I wouldn't be getting one, but since Amazon is showing me $10 or $12 with cable, I'm violating my own boycott of Amazon in protest of the unfair working conditions & low wages subsidized by US food stamps for its employees in face of the $25 million per hour that Jeff Besos pays himself (considering that he crossed the $100 Billionaire line in 2017, and now has $150,000,000,000 in wealth in 2018, and a typical US work-year is 2000 hours).

I found the magnetic cables wearing out quickly. The ones that didn't, only charge at a slow speed...
