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...

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 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)
Desktop dock: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D979BEGSTA
Can't find the car mount
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 live a frugal life. As much as I like the S7, S6 is a great phone for me and will give me all that I need. I was thinking about buying a refurbished one off of ebay since they are so cheap. What are the chances that screen or other parts may have been replaced with non Samsung genuine parts?

It depends on the seller.

Look if the seller has a good reputation ?

I recently purchased a "seller refurbished" S6 AT&T variant on eBay and, while it looked okay and powered on okay, I ended up returning it for an original but used international variant. I'd echo the suggestion of checking their reputation as well. If authentic hardware and cost are your concerns, I would consider getting a gently used, non-refurb model that offers a return policy.... just in case!
Hey all,
Starting a new thread on this, since the other one is several months old.
Does anyone know of where the S5 Wireless cover can be found where it isn't over priced (i.e. $100)? I'm looking to get the feature, as my charge port is acting funny w/ a lose connection to charging cables.
If not the OEM Samsung version, does anyone know of a decent After Market version that still keeps the waterproof capability. I've seen one on Amazon that doesn't have the waterproof gasket, but no luck anywhere else.
TIA.

How about:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7142E95226
And, by the way, the S5 is NOT waterproof, it is water resistant, big difference...
I don't think that one is for the S5. The contacts for the battery don't match the battery pattern. Thanks for looking though.
Understood not waterproof. Just a lack of brain power to write resistant last night..
ME TOO!!!
I've been searching myself for years now, can't figure out why the hell they still cost so much, I'm still not sure I wanna pay $30 + shipping for one directly from Samsung/usa (but they aren't cheaper anywhere else!)
But anyhow... I haven't tried this myself but you could have a look getting at a Qi standard wireless receiver. I don't go on Amazon much, but there's a lot of them on Ebay.
Installed the following last week on my S5, couldn't be happier.
BestFire® Ultra-thin QI Wireless Charging Charger Receiver For Samsung (S5)

* NOTE... Images aren't for the S5. Unit shipped actually has 3 contact pins, which we need.
Fits well and seals with stock battery door. Slight center bump, but hardly noticeable especially with a protective case on. Using mine with a Samsung wireless charger.
S5
How is the performance of the wireless charging battery cover? Did it work?
I haven't had much luck with after market batteries. I bought several off eBay, and have also bought off Amazon, and none of them worked as well as the original OEM. The OEM battery is hold and doesn't hold much of a charge, and I found zero improvement with the after market fake ones.
The only place I can find an OEM battery is from here for $33.10: https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04419C-BATTERY.html?oldpart=GH43-04419A
But Mobile Defenders sells them for much cheaper ($5.99-$8.99): https://www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=samsung+s6+battery
I just want to know about Mobile Defender's quality. Am I just going to get the exact same issues as all the other fake batteries? Or should I just stick with OEM? The other question I have is, is "samsungparts.com" an actual Samsung website? It's not samsung.com, and that is why I am asking. Plus, when I talk to Samsung in the chat (from samsung.com), they tell me they don't sell the S6 batteries and I have to go to an "authorized repair center." But the repair centers (Ufixit) want to charge $99 when I already have the back off and I can replace it myself.

Samsung parts is the official Samsung partner to sell phone parts and you'll get original Samsung parts but they are not Samsung directly as they don't sell directly parts to customers
I think what I may do is buy the Mophie Juice pack instead. It's at Walmart for about $20. I don't know what battery life on the S6 is like new, since I got the phone used at about 2 years old. But from what I'm reading, is that it really sucked in the first place. So a battery pack may be my best bet.

If you want to buy original Battery then go for samsungparts. Otherwise, find more s6 battery suppliers like mobilesentrix and others, compare price and features so it will help you to buy a good quality battery.
