Have you guys tried this one?
http://dx.com/p/cy-mh-040-slimport-...xus-4-optimus-g-pro-qh582-asus-padfone-231675
$22.30
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.

Solar powered charger for n1?

I use to have one for my old 3gs and was wondering if i can get on for my nexus one? Thanks
http://www.solio.com/charger/
@jairuncaloth Those are a bit much I haven't tired any of these chargers but the prices are a bit more reasonable. www.solarstylemiami.com
Mine was a gift. It's pretty handy.
Another vote for the Solio. A pricy but amazing device, I never go anywhere without mine
+2 for Solio...the best functionally!
Which one of those solar chargers are compatible with Nexus one?

Solio usually comes with all kinds of adaptors for all phones. Check their website for specifics.
I don't know if they have a microusb tip yet. That's pretty easy to work around though. Mine came with a standard usb female port. I can plug the N1's usb cable right into it.

I ordered an A97 tip cox it looks like extUSB. I'll let you guys know is that the one after I got it.
I have a MicroUSB for my solio, bought it straight off the main solio site with a few other tips
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+One+PB99100&skuno=83981
this one seems/looks nice but i heard fommy.com is a bad company to deal with
Yes! It is A97 tip!
I just got the tip and it works like a charm!
Just curious....Where do you use these?
I just can't imagine being somewhere I would sit long enough to use this that I wouldn't have access to AC or USB.

Ah...No wonder I couldn't think of uses...These are all things I'd have to get-up and move around to do! My idea of roughing-it would be switching from 3G to Edge!!

Cradle

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.

Will this work?
dealextreme.com/p/usb-ac-charger-adapters-for-htc-desire-g7-eu-plug-100-240v-40145
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:

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.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
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.

ORZLY USB A to USB C Cable Set

I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk
They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.
thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.
I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.

Yeah, I could barely care if I lose one, just a spare. I didn't think they felt super cheap though. Did you get the same colors?
We just got these in my store, ?

I've got them and been using them with my OP2 since launch. What app can I use to check charge rate one you let me know I'll check all of them. I just got in the red and black cable from them and it is thicker and feels like it's high quality I'll do a video this week on it
I'm using a good looking app called Ampere.

Yea you might as well! I just got in a new red and black one that i love the color on i also have the OnePlus cables if anyone wants to see them but i do show it off in the one video. If you just got a phone though you cant beat the multipack! Going from micro USB to USB C i went from having about 50 cables to just the one that came in the box lol
I was looking at some of those cables online and some of the reviews were complaining that they charged very slow. I will wait till more people are able to get tests with the new Nexus phones.
