Greetings,
Has anyone bought this third-party dock?
It's claiming that it works with Galaxy S5, which is quite surprising since the S5 doesn't even work with the smart dock
https://www.kickstarter.com/project...imedia-dock-with-big-sound-and-po/description
I communicated with the kickstarter sales rep Vino
She reassures that galaxy S5 is fully supported, so I took the plunge
Will feedback if it really does work, I'm still suspicious though

I want the car dock but wonder if it will fit with a protector skin/film on?
HTH
(Whoop edited with live links finally )
Most likely it won't fit with a case. May be for a film. It looks like quite a tight fit.
great now if they just could tell us when it will actually hit the market

The dock I have been waiting for so patiently has no speakers!!!!!!! This is lame...
To compete with iphone we need a good dock with speakers! A dock is all I wanted for my first fathers day, and now I don't think I want it...
Disappointing this!
The lack of speakers isn't a big deal to me. I mean, the built in speaker is solid enough, and it looks to me like the dock would only cove half of the SGS, so you could plug in headphones or your own speakers.
My guess about the lack of speakers is that the horrible evil iPhone plug has contacts for headphones/speakers there. You could build one for the SGS, but you'd have to have a truly separate 3.5mm jack, and in horizontal orientation you'd have to be very careful sliding it in and out to avoid breaking it.
Also, this dock is very small, and so having anything on board would seem unlikely. I expect there will be some 3rd party docks coming soon enough to cover what you want.
Did you notice all the Galaxy Tab accessories there as well? Far more than for the S

I am feeling a little betrayed by Samsung. Why can't they just get their act together and release the promised accessories? It's been 3 months already.
The Extended Battery Case looks ugly, but sadly is of great interest to me...
Actually, Handtec is now also showing some accessories available as Pre-order. It includes the Desktop Dock, Car Dock, a Leather Pouch, Replacement Battery and even an Official Capacitive Stylus for the Galaxy S.
Here is a link to these accessories: http://www.handtec.co.uk/search.php?xSearch=galaxy+s&submit=search+for+products
It's a shame, that they don't get the accesoires in stock.
I'm from Germany and they announced the Home Dock 4 Weeks ago and still nothing.
It is getting ridiculous now, I doubt if the desk cradle will ever hit the market.
Anyone any updates about this?

Sorry I thought everyone knew. The official desk and vehicle docks have been discontinued. My money has been returned due to this from Mobilefun. When I asked Samsung customer services about it they said Samsung don't make them but third party's do. I pointed them to the press release and they said they would contact head office in Korea. Not heard from them since.

One of my drinking buddies has just started working for Samsung over here in Ireland, I'll give him a week or two to get his feet under the table and give instructions on what bit of SAP to delve into to look up stock

They may have them listed but they are not any available to buy. They are not making or shipping them even in Korea.

And there are loads on e-bay com and other US suppliers - but they are all for the Vibrant - question - is it the same shape?
Can you post a link to some of these (edit: eBay ones) as I cannot find one. (vehicle mount that is)

Can't find the car mount
Hello all. A friend of mine developed this new car dock for the Note 3, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy S4. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy for my GS3 and found it to be the best dock I have ever used. I purchased one for my Note 3 and I did an unboxing. Please give it a look. Thanks

I'm looking at this one, http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Compatible-Blackberry-SlimPWRcard-Qi-enabled/dp/B00DQDE1K8. I'd rather not pay $50 for the Samsung charger. Does anyone have experience with this one, or have any other recommendations?
I have this one, and really like it.

Personally, I'm not a fan of single coil chargers like this one. I've always ended up spending more time than I would like trying to line the device up correctly, which seems to defeat the point of convenience. Triple coil chargers are really the way to go, but they're going to run you quite a bit more. I just picked up a Qi-infinity Folding Wireless Dock and have been quite happy with it (that is, after I plugged it into a properly sized wall plug lol) so far, but that's definitely hitting that $50 price point.

I'm using this one and I'm quite happy. 3 Coil is the way to go.

Wow, and only $10. It's a shame they didn't update it for the newer iPhones. My daughter as a newer iPhone, and it would be perfect if we both could use this. I'm going to order one anyway.
I made this thread about the Samsung charger, but there are other recommendations in it.
Also it should be kept in mind that you should be able to get 50% off the Samsung charger by registering your S6, so it'd actually be $25.

Where did you get your discount? I already registered and I haven't seen anything. Thanks!
I just registered my device when it asked during setup and they e-mailed me the code. Unfortunately it's only 30% off now apparently -_-
I got my Galaxy S6 on the 9th April and I purchased the standard Samsung S Charging Pad from the store too... It works great with a case on... I had a few issues with the charger as it approached 100% it kept disconnecting and reconnecting but nonetheless it's great! It takes 170 minutes to fully charge.
Hi everyone
Does anyone have a clue what is happening with S5 accessories? Everywhere I look in Europe at reputed retailers (Amazon DE / UK) all official S5 accessories (wireless cover, wireless kit, S-View Wireless cover, Extended Battery) are out of stock with no restocking date.
It looks like Samsung is phasing out all accessories for S5. This is quite weird, since I see official accessories being available for S3 / S4 even today.
Yep. Same deal in Australia. Plenty of stuff for the S4 nothing for the S5
Just got myself a S5 recently, but without wireless charging.
This is pretty annoying that they discontinued the original accessories after only 1 generation...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
You need to check ebay, as there are loads of official on there inc austrailia
Yeah I had hard time finding a original battery without buying from Internet it really sucks how samsung wants us to be like apple users.
i thing s5 has been abandoned because it was not successful. s4 is still good and s6 is more better. however in my home vietnam its accessories are still available but of course not many left. if you have friends in vn contact them for a shipping
I came across this charger while trying to search for one for mine and wondered if it ACTUALLY works for the Note 10.1 as it claims. I spoke to a Best Buy rep yesterday who assured me it would. Pretty much any charger works, but what I would like to know is if I will get the dreaded red X while on. Again, the rep said no, and I can always buy it, test it and return it for a refund but I don't like making pointless returns.
Has anyone tried it?
