Hi all,
After reading some of the posts regarding headphone adapters for the XDA II (M1000 in my case) I was deciding whether to buy one of them or try to make my own up. My soldering skills are somewhat lacking but I thought I'd go for the latter.
I had three choices:
1) Buy some ear/headphones, take off the phone plug and solder that into the answer/hang up/microphone bit. Would work but would be stuck with that pair of earphone/headphones.
2) Buy a female phone connector, chop off the earphones on the supplied hands free and solder them onto that. Excellent solution for cheep (79p in Maplin!). Looks a little ugly tho cuz of the mahoosive gap around the cable going into the sheath of the socket.
3) Buy a headphone extension lead, chop it off near the female connector end and then solder this onto the PCB of the answer/hang up/microphone bit. This required better soldering skills than I currently have so that'll have to wait until my mate is able to do it for me! Will look better as the connector will be sealed tight to the cable going into it.
So, I lumped for option 2. And I must say it works flawlessly. I also have the advantage now of being able to connect any pair of head/earphones into it or even connecting it into my Hi-Fi/Car stereo/portable speakers depending on what I need!
Couple of pics are below...

Does any one know if there are conductive chargers compatible with the Vibrant? I love the idea of having a power mat next to my bed to reduce some of that cable clutter.

I think you mean inductive, and I don't think so. That would need to be built into the phone somehow to support wireless charging. Perhaps a replacement back cover? The only known power input is the usb though, so it would be difficult to build.

They have cases for it to adapt it to the iPhone. I don't see it being too hard to produce one for the vibrant. Maybe even a back cover adapter...

The iPhone cases cup the bottom and plug in. Not sure I want to add more length or width to my phone, personally. A replacement back that patched directly to the battery would work, for me. Of course, the phone wouldn't know about the charging, that would be a little weird - wonder if it would mess with the battery calibration.
Shoot i thought it was conductive. Well that sucks, I think I might just look for a dock then. =(
Hey guys I'm currently looking for a gadget where you basically plug the dock to the wall socket.
But instead of the dock being a pin connecter like for example this:

}
The dock has multiple USB plug-in (2 would be nice if not one is fine) So I can charge more than one usb rechargable device such as an iPod and the phone while using them.
Is there such device?
Thanks guys
EDIT: If there is none, I'm thinking of buying a portable battery charger. If anyone has recommendations of good ones that is durable and does the job please feel free to share.
something like this?

No, I'm looking for a thing where that USB part of the charger is a wire and leads to a "dock" where I can place on my desk but has 2 or one USB port.
I wanted to reduce the cable clutter on my nightstand and replace the computer speakers I'd been using. Thought about buying a bluetooth speaker, but what I wanted was a bit more than I could afford. I also had a decent set of bookshelf speakers wasting away in the garage.
I bought a Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wire...1T5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572885&sr=8-1
and a small class T amp to power the speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-Tripath...6OTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572949&sr=8-1
Works flawlessly and I'm really pleased with the sound.
Hmmm pretty neat idea. After looking over the site for awhile, I might get the Lepai LP-168HA mini-amp which has a built in usb port for a BT usb dongle. That way I don't have to worry about two separate units. (*** I can't verify if it'll work though.***)

What's the pointed of having the amp. Could someone clarify?

That amp looks pretty cool. it looks like you can plug a usb stick with mp3's or cell phoneon it. not sure a bt dongle would work. I went for the cheap one...
The amps is so you can use bookshelf speakers rather than having to use a receiver. you could just use computer speakers, but the set of speakers wasting away in my garage where far better.
The USB port is a very nice option, not sure why it wouldn't work to charge the phone.
I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi guys,
I've got an XTRONS TE706PL. Unfortunately I've accidentally damaged one of its proprietary connectors namely the one connecting 2 USB ports and all 6 individual wires have fallen out of the connector.
Could anyone with the same unit kindly take a picture or two of the connector showing all wires so that I may rewire it myself? I've had a look around the internet, but unfortunately the pictures are too low in resolution to be able to tell.
Thanks in advance

Thank you very much. I had contacted XTRONS then and they were kind enough to send me a replacement cable free of charge. I was planning on updating this Thread and posting pictures of the new cable to help anyone else, but you have done that now. :good:
