Thanks, I ordered one. Good buy!

Damn man. That's crazy. Although I thought $5 was a good price for my 12 foot cable. Although, I would never use this cheap of a cable for my home entertainment setups. The only kind of HDMI cables they see are ones made by Audio Quest. I prefer the Chocolate series since its right in the middle in terms of silver content and price.
Before anyone tells me its a digital signal and all HDMI cables are made equally, you can save your breath. I've seen the quality difference in both sound and video first hand. Have fun powering your 55in. high end Plasma or LED with your Dynex cable.

Damn, it's 3$ now lol

i bought one of these cheap hdmi cables from amazon for my g2x and it worked for like 2 seconds then stopped =/

You paid how much for your TV?
You paid how much for your device?
Gonna trust a 55 cent HDMI cable with them?
Hey, maybe they work fine. I purchased a 2 pack of 6 foot HDMI cables from BJ's for $20.00. That was a year after paying nearly $40 for one at Radio Shack. They work as they as supposed to.
Who knows?

Two 6 foot cables for $20 is still a cheap HDMI cable.

I got a cheap HDMI micro cable for my G2X and it kind of sucks. It has to be kind of jammed in at an angle and the slightest movement will cause drops in signal.
Now, does anyone have a recommendation on a good cable? Price isn't an issue.

I got a nice one from Best Buy and ordered the $5 one from ebay. The one from Best Buy is by far a better cable. Think it was like 30 bucks.

It's 3 bucks after shipping. I dont mind trying it out to see how it performs. If it works great, if it doesnt, thats fine too. I didn't even plan on using the HDMI port on my G2X, but for 3 bucks, I'll give it a try.

Monster MediaBridge HDMI Cables
If they were 50 cents with Amazon Prime I would get them.. but $3 after shipping or $4.99 w/prime.
However I've purchased some cheap hdmi cables online before and had hit & miss experiences with their functionality. However I've had nothing but good experiences with Monster's mediabridge series. I have a 6ft, 15ft, and 25ft HDMI>HDMI of this cable and they are sturdy and reliable.
$8.99 w/ prime on Amazon, so they're not THE cheapest cable you can buy but its a great one for the price.
Mediabridge - High Speed Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable with Ethernet - 6ft
Luckily I have a good 10 or 12ft HDMI>MiniHDMI from my Canon ELPH so I'll just keep this bookmarked until that one needs to be replaced.

I got my HDMI cable today. It came from Hand Held Items (HHI). The cable is great... no crazy video and the audio is awesome. Nice gold-platted ends as well and they fit in my tv and phone just fine.
.50 for an HDMI a cable that gets the same job a $6 - $30 cable can do. Thanks for the recommendation!

Media link adapter?

so anyone know where i can get one of those to view my phone on my tv? or bluetooth it or whatever MHL thing i guess? i couldn't find it anywhere and i saw people posting stuff about how they love doing it and stuff

not sure where you are located but i saw these in the o2 store (uk) the other day, £79.99 and were willing to give 10% off.
still seems a lot to me so i left it

Have ordered mine today .. Will post results once I test it..

MHL is Connection the One S to TV over HDMI?

As I posted above, yes our phones will work with a MHL adapter and the one that I got is pretty damn cheap but it does exactly what you expect of it, don't go and waste £70+ on one when you can get a MHL adapter for about £5, which does exactly the same thing essentially. If you looked at my above post with a link to another website and through the the thread that KT linked, you will have seen my mini review of the MHL adapter that I got along with a video demonstrating it :
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1071937-htc-one-s/page__st__15__p__594848957#entry594848957
MHL adapter arrived yesterday, £7.28 including delivery (£4.58 just for the adapter), which isn't badly priced
Has gone up a tiny bit since I purchased it though:
http://www.expansys.com/expansys-mhl-microusb-to-hdmi-adapter-black-221378/
Couple of photos below, as you can see, we have a HDMI port (I just used my Xbox 360 HDMI cable and it worked fine) and the micro USB port (just use the USB cable that comes with the S) for charging the device at the same time as when you're streaming to the TV at 1080P it can drain the battery pretty quickly especially when watching a 1080P HD film or playing a few games. You can either plug the USB into a socket near by or into one of the TV's USB ports (if available) to charge the mobile. The adapter is very tiny and obviously very light weighted, you could easily carry it around with you in your pocket.

When connected to the TV (Panasonic TX-P42G20B) the video mode of the TV switches to "1080P, 24Hz and 16.9 aspect ratio". I haven't looked at any of the settings on my TV to see if I can increase the refresh rate yet but everything seemed very smooth either way, 1080P films played flawlessly using BS player lite and looked perfect, the games also worked great but looked very jaggy as they are stretched to 1080P, this is down to the apps.
Here is the info. for the film trailers that were played:
And lastly a quick video demonstrating this. Sorry for the quality and jerkiness of this video, it was recorded using a desire on stock 2.2, the UI and actions etc. are smoother than what it looks in the video.
Yes I know my gaming skills are atrocious particularly for Goldeneye It isn't very easy using the on screen controls!
One thing, which should be noted is that the sound is very low! (hence why you can barely hear the audio of the films and games in the video) When watching standard TV, we have the volume bar at about 3/10, where as with the mobile connected and playing content, I had to turn the volume up to about 6/10 just to be able to hear it clearly. Not sure why this is and I don't know if a different, more expensive MHL adapter would be better for sound level......
To sum up; I can't complain about the adapter at all given the price, does what you expect of it and the only downside (which might not even be due to the adapter) is that the volume is very low and has to be turned up a fair bit to compensate for this.

MHL from Monoprice USA, excellent stuff!
In the USA I use monoprice for all of my cables and adaptors, they are awesome and inexpensive. Their quality is excellent and the description is uaually very accurate.
Edit: It was $12 and change shipped, supports 7.1 audio, SWEET!

yea idk why but the whole time i was reading about it and all that i was under the assumption we wouldn't have to plug our phones in for it to work cause having to plug a HDMI wire into a box and then a micro from the box to our phones just feels like too much to mirror a phone lol
but i might just get the cheap one just cause it's like 12 bucks lol

Thank you for introducing me to monoprice. Think I've found the right spot to buy all my cables and adaptors for sure

You actually don't have to connect the device to the media link adapter. The purpose of the adapter is to make your tv a dlna device. Kind of like the ps3. The difference is the ps3 and your phone have to be on the same network. With the media link adapter, as long as you have an HTC device capable of doing so, you can wirelessly stream your files through the device to tv. Come on, you didn't really think they would charge $130 for a device that still required you to have a cable running to the tv basically.

Dealextreme.com has tons of mhl adapters and they're cheap, including free shipping. Not sure about quality though, still waiting for mine.

to be clear:
there is the MHL micro USB Port. You plug a MHL adapter to your phones USB input.
You have to plugin your powersupply into the MHL adapter. Now you have your phone mirrored to your TV.
the Media Link / HD:
The Media Link (H100) and the Media Link HD (H200) are somekind of WLAN DLNA adapters for your TV. You configure your WLAN settings by using a PC or Mac. (you can also use a instant sync to your phone by pressing the botton on the device)
Now you can make a 3 finger-flic on your device and the screen is mirrored to your TV. I dont know if you can also do this with the older version (H100) but if you are starting a movie or diashow you can switch to Homescreen on your device and use is as usual while streaming media to your TV.
The main difference between H100 and H200 is that the H100 supports 720p and the H200 is good for 1080p. Both devices need a powersupply. Because of its also a DLAN device you can stream media from your PC or Mac to your TV.
i'm searching for an alternative device to the H200 but i dont think there is none which is capable of all the features the H200 brings with.

Panasonic TM101 Qi Charger - It works with auto-sensing feature

For all who are looking for a good wireless charger, I found this on ebay. There are currently 13 active listings, and the final price including shipping comes to nearly USD 70. It is apparently from Japan, and both economic and expedited shipping options are available. [ Lowest cost incl. expedited shipping I found was 73$ ]
It has the feature of automatically sensing where your device is so that there is no "no-charging even though placed on mat" issue that some charges are having.
Here are a few youtube videos of the charger :
Unboxing Panasonic TM101
Nexus 4 on the charger
Demonstration of the auto-sensing feature
Apparently, the device is available for a cheaper rate from Amazon Japan, which ships only within Japan for 40$ [ compared to 50-55 USD in ebay w/o shipping].
Here are a few images that I could find :

I was looking at these today on ebay. Looks nice and was wondering if it could charge two devices, but because the charging coil moves, it looks like it only charges only one device. But it does take a bit of real estate on ones desk or nightstand, but looks cool! The little orb that follows the phone to charge is nice! Those dag gone Japanese know how to market a product! LOL

Yeah, unfortunately doesn't charge two devices simultaneously. I like the looks, but it does occupy a lot of volume. Not sure whether I should wait for the official one, which would be quite smaller and shouldn't face the issues other chargers are having.
EDIT : Have updated my post with that info, to make it clear, for those who don't watch the video.

I have one of these by my bed and it works very well. Looks good to boot.

Oh hell, might as well order this too. $69 shipped via snail mail. This thing just looks too cool.

Extremely likely knowing Google. But still I don't want to be stuck in a situation where they announce it immediately after receiving my brand new charger, at say 80$. ( google charger's price). It's what happened to me with the bumper, bought so many cases for it, that I decided to cancel the last one (which I had ordered an hour back before the bumpers came back online)

It can't do two at simultaneously, but if you put two devices on it will charge one, then the coil will move and charge the other.

Unberrivable!!!!!!!

I have this charger too. I love that I can just set the phone anywhere and it charges. It even works through my TPU case.
The only downside is that when the battery is fully charged, it stops charging. That means at night it charges right away, and then when I go to get it in the morning it's down to ~85%. It wouldn't be such a big deal if the Google Now location stuff didn't suck so much juice during the night.

Just to clarify , that means it will charge in effect both devices placed on the charger? How frequently does the coil move? In effect, the charging speed is reduced to half, right? [though the amount of charge transferred in total probably remains the same].
Also, does the N4 become hot while charging?

Since i cant buy the cool Panasonic Smartphones from Japan to use here on T-mobile, I'll buy this!
Where is this manufactured? Just curious on it...hopefully not China..

Kidigi Omni Case Compatible Dock (Type C) now available to order.

I know others were interested in Type C docking solutions since Qi Wireless is out, and someone brought this one up before.
http://www.kidigi.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=112#.ViUocvkViFk
It is actually available now for order though, $48. The Type C connector can be raised or lowered as needed for cases.
OVERVIEW
Features:
• Adjustable connector platform: compatible with protective case with different thickness.
• Charge your device.
• Sync with Computer.
• Flexible connector for easy undocking.
Model No : LC-UTC
For : OnePlus Two , Lenovo ZUK Z1, Google Nexus 6P , Google Nexus 5X , Microsoft Lumia 950, Microsoft 950XL
Certificates:
● CE ＆RoHS
Package Contents:
● Sync & Charge Dock
● User Manual
● Silicon Sticky Pad
Only thing is I'm not sure about how it actually would charge. It shows a few shots of a USB A to Micro USB cable, then a few of it with what looks like a physically attached cable.
Who's getting it to test it for me US?
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/Kidigi-Omni-Case-Ready-Dock-with-USB-31-Type-C-for-Mobile-Phones
According to this one it maxes out at 2.4A

$48 bucks that a bit steep.
I'll wait for other options.

Second link has it for $39, some of their other retailers probably have it for cheaper. I'd pay that for a good dock, the TYLT VU was more expensive than that.

35 bucks is simply too much for what appears to be a plastic shell. At least with the ridiculously overpriced Vu they give you the means to power your device without having to steal a cable from elsewhere in your collection.

The znaps adapters look kind of long and I think with the dock fully retracted it would still sit high and be unstable.

Waiting for RND to have theirs for purchase or when nakedcellphone carries them on ebay. Last year for the Nexus 6, RND had theirs available first, so I ordered from them. This exact dock was on AliExpress for bulk purchase and the USB connector had RND branding on it, so I'm sure it will be available soon as well.

I think that will mostly depend on what you plug it into. It doesn't come with the brick (at least its not included in the "Whats in the box" part). On Alibaba.com its rated at 1A @5V, on ebay its listed at 2A @5V. Its just a USB A to type C 2.0 cable, though so its going to charge at whatever your Type A power source is.
I won't be of much help to you as I'm not using this as a charger. I plug these docks into a USB 3.0 Hub that goes into my Mac Mini dev computer. My previous Kidigi/RND docks (same dock), didn't have the cable attached. These do. Can we modify it... probably. The other docks also had OTG support, which this one does not. I paid more for the Nexus 6 Docks though, and I never used the OTG port anyway.

Bah, you are a huge help to me.
Good points all around, some of the pictures I've seen of this one have attached cables, others show unattached cables. If it is unattached, I'm thinking 3.0A will work fine on it, they probably only tested with 2.4A chargers at max.
You know, like how the Micro SD card thing used to go? 32GB Micro SD capable, because that's the biggest one we could test with at the time.

This sounds like a good bedside dock, i'm not concerned with rapid charging while sleeping. That will free up my rapid charger for my living room or kitchen. Might have to consider this now. How long is the cable? 1m or 2m?

It is now listed on Amazon for $25.99

This sounds like a good bedside dock, i'm not concerned with rapid charging while sleeping. That will free up my rapid charger for my living room or kitchen. Might have to consider this now. How long is the cable? 1m or 2m?

My thoughts the same. It is about 1m, not got a measuring tape to hand at the moment.

Best Wireless Portable Charger?

I'm seeing some on Amazon with super suspect reviews. Like, one of them has 99% 5-star reviews. Come on, dude...
Can y'all share some LEGIT portable wireless chargers? Preferably some with REAL fast charging.

I have ordered this one.,
QI wireless charger, 20000mAh, price around 35 US$.
Can tell you more in a couple of days, should I get in the next days (has unfortunately around 4 weeks delivery time).

got it now. Works more as OK for this price. Can charge also if the device is in the cover. The HW looks professional. QI charging with stand works only if you put the phone horizontal on the stand , but this is ok. Think was a good deal. Shippment needs 3 weeks.

After some weeks using I can say it was a very good deal. Works perfect with my Note 9 on travel. I can really highly recommend this QI charger. Use it on my business trips including powerpoint presentations in combination with an little HDMI adapter and on the evening to view Netflix videos in the hotel.
I don't want miss it anymore...

I've got to get that!

I think using the descriptor “best” is relative. What may work for one may not work for another.
Take this product:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QRXLF6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
10000mah battery pack, usb 3 ports, qi standard. Display shows exact charge numerically. Even shows the voltage coming in and voltage going out of the ports and what the qi is sending out.
There is a led ring that shows light white when charging and dark blue when charged.
I like these so much I bought 3 for the 3 notes i have.
EDIT: does charge them with the samsung military grade case for the note 9 series as seen in the photos (may be hard to see the actual case but both units have the case on )

They look pretty cool. The light looks a little too bright though? Also, the top surface looks quite slippery?

Does look cool, I like the bright light, but I'd definitely want it to be optional, you wouldn't want that next to your bed when trying to sleep haha.
And yeah that super smooth surface does look like the phone would easily slide off, although it would be negated by a case that had some grip.

Not sure what happened, might just be a temporary thing, but it's currently unavailable?

That’s why i said not one product can be “best”.
I’m sure this is not designed to sit next to your bed at night. Its mostly aimed at people on the go /traveling.
The light ring is not bright. In a darkened room it will be noticeable, sure.
The top surface has plastic (shipping plastic). You can remove this plastic overlay as you see fit
Ive had these for about 3 weeks. I have used them 2-3 times per week (just to test on the charge times) and am very happy with the product price point and features.
You can also charge the product up whilst charging a qi enabled device (pass thru charging)

Does anyone make a car phone cradle holder with inbuilt wireless charger?

Lots of people do wireless charging cradles for cars - I have an iOttie, two QiFulls and (my favourite - so good that I bought 3 of them), Samsung's own one.

Of course you are right, but for me personally is size and power (20000mah) decisive. And some small things like the vertical stand, the non slippery surface and the size (like the phone itself) seem to be thought-out....

^^^ thats why there are more options out there because not everyone has the same feature requests. I don’t particualry like portable upright chargers and the fact I have 3 of these means the 10 000mAh X3 (30000mAh? ) wlli be plenty. And if they are not, i have two portable power banks.
The product i listed here is just another option in the mix... not trying to steal thunder away from any one product..

The last thing I needed was yet another power bank (I have a couple of really hefty one - 26,800 mAh from Zendure and 30,000 mAh from iMuto - as well as a whole raft of smaller ones given away free at various trade shows), but none of them do wireless so I had to get one of these as well.
Ordered it on amazon.de and it arrived here in the UK in a couple of days. Initial impressions are favourable. It charges my Note 9 even in its Spigen Tough Armor case, and I like the ability to have the phone at an angle. It also seems to do passthrough (i.e. wireless charge the Note 9 while also being charged itself).
There's a USB-C socket for input (haven't tested whether it can also be used as an output) as well as MicroUSB in and 2 x USB A outputs.

yes, is no bad

Well, getting bogged down with semantics is a waste of time. I think most of us generally agree that when we say "best" we're implying that the product performs as expected and that it suits most of our needs/wants.
That charging pad you shared looks promising but it sucks that it's no longer available on Amazon. I hope more OEMs jump into this portable wireless charging game. We need more options, that's for sure.

I feel you on this. I'm down to two right now. One big one with enough amps to charge my laptop quick enough and a smaller Anker one for everything else. I want to replace the Anker one with a wireless one. Less cables to carry around.
