Hi
I just ordered three items from 'Mobile Fun' and all three were out of stock, with no clue as to when they will be back in stock - useless!!
Can anyone recommend an alternative (expansys dont have what I want)
I am after:
- Retractable USB sync/charge cable
- Car charger (that has standard USB socket on back of it)
- Mains charger (with USB output)
- HTC Universal case
Idea being to save carting around separate chargers for camera, phone, mp3 player, bt headset etc.
For the record I ordered:
- i-mate JASJAR Leather Case Out of stock 14/11/2005
- Martin Fields Retractable USB Sync Cable - Orange C500 & MDA Compact
Out of stock 14/11/2005
- 3 in 1 Charger Pack for Samsung Phones Out of stock 14/11/2005
- Royal Mail First Class Delivery Out of stock 14/11/2005

Not sure what the deal is with Mobile Fun. I too ordered three different items yesterday. Their website said that all three items were in stock so I expected them to arrive today.
Then I received an email saying that all three items were out of stock.
Maybe Mobile Fun don't actually keep any stock!
I emailed them back to say that if the items aren't with me in the next few days then cancel my order.
Hiya, I ordered a retractable sync 'n' charge cable from eXpansys for the Universal... I found it by looking at the accessories available for the jasjar, I think. I have also in the past bought an "all in one" travel kit for the BA from them (and have seen that they do one for the Universal) that comprises a mains to usb charger with several international & uk mains plug converters, a car lighter socket to usb adapter and a usb to BA cable. It was about £12 for the BA if I remember rightly...
I've not looked at cases yet, but include a link for the sake of completeness!

Hi, I have a TMobile MDA Pro and i have purchased an in car charger so that I can use it with TomTom satnav unit, slight problem, unit does not charge when in the car. Bizarre, as when I use the standard USB Charge & Sync cable with PC happily syncs and charges with no issues. Anyone any ideas, does there have to be a specific setting on the unit to enable it to accept charge via the cigarette socket in car?
Many thanks
I found that to charge the universal, pins 4 and 5 in the mini USB plug need to get joined together - by default pin 5 is not connected to anything (well, wasn't in the cable I had). I've made that modification, and am powering a couple of devices of of a 2 port hub in the car.
Cheers,
Steve
Hi, sounds like a problem I am having and meaning to ask about.
I've got a USB cigy lighter adapter and tried plugging in the sync lead to provide power when it's in the car. So if I have my Exec in standby the charge light will come on (I think it charges sitting on the today screen, but not to sure) but as soon as I fire up tomtom the charging light goes off....
Does this sound like your problem, or are you not charging at all?
I'm interested in finding out what I need to charge the Exec while it's running tomtom? Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Matt
I'm pretty certain that I didn't get a charge light at all with my cable until I modified it, then it works, as expected, including in TomTom.
To confirm what I've got is:
- A Ciggy to USB socket adapter
- A two port hub plugged into the adapter
- Modified cable into the hub (along with an unmodified cable connected to my BT-77 GPS unit).
Plugging the cable (prior to modification) directly into the adapter, rather than the hub, didn't work either. The Brodit all-in-one adapter/cable worked fine (and I still have it intact, but not in use), but if memory serve, pins 4 & 5 appear to be connected. I used a multi-meter to try and find out why that one worked, and my combination didn't.
All of this stuff is wired in behind the centre console, so I've not got any unsightly wires, or anything.
Cheers,
Steve.
I think you need a car charger that can output 1000mA to charge the Universal. Same requirement also for an AC charger. 1000mA is what's important. Cheers
Hi, We have had quite a few customers with this issue, we advised and they have opted for the brodit active mounts which have the inbuilt cig chargers and it has cured the problem, or for the neater solution they went for the Molex hardwired versions to stash the cables behind the dash area,
The codes are: 968649 for the cig charger version or 971649 for the Molex hardwired version, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/T-Mobile+MDA Pro-Brodit-Holder.asp
Hope that helps, drop me a line if you need any advice,
Thanks again

Found 1A 5V car adapter
this is the only place I found off ebay that has a 1A car adapter
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-CIGAR-CIG...4QQihZ006QQcategoryZ15329QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It works fine on my MDA Pro, just need to plug it in while it is off for it to start charging.. if turned on, then pluged in, then it won't start charging.
I even have an 800mA adapter, but that doesn't help the MDA Pro, it needs more power!

Hi there Bryson
The items you quoted are actually the charger and the holder for the PDA. I also notice from the link you provided that there are 2 cig chargers (items codes 942625 and 942650). Can I know what are the differences between these 2 models and would either of this chargers charge the Universal while it is running a navigation software such as TomTom or Garmin Que?
Also, do you ship to Singapore?

Hey guys,
Looking for a combo micro-usb wire that also comes with a dual car/wall charger. I dont care if its two pieces or three pieces, but I just care that I can keep the Captivate plugged in and not have any issues using it. The last one I bought was a Duracell three way usb combo that had a retractable wall charger on the travel charger piece, but it wasnt giving enough power to the phone, so i couldnt use it while plugged in.
I have been looking at the "Premium USB power kit" by A Days Tech on Amazon, but im worried its going to be a generic POS and not give enough juice.
Anybody know which of these works?
I guess I can also buy a high quality micro-usb wire and then a high quality USB car charger/wall plug seperately as another option. So any opinions on those are also appreciated.

There are a bunch of threads on charging these phones. Unless the charger or the cable has the data lines shorted, the phone will only charge at USB rate (~500mA). Even if you have a 1A car charger, the best you will get is USB speed UNLESS you connect the data lines on the cable. I have not seen a car charger that does this.
The most current the phone will draw is around ~750 mA. It will do this when it thinks it is attached to AC.
Hi,
I bought the Scosche HC12V Dual Home Charger, but I haven't received it yet, but from what little I know of the brand they supposedly make good accessories. I should receive it in a few weeks (shipping a captivate and accessories overseas).
Both outputs are rated at 1amp, the only thing is that it does not come with it's own cable.

I bought a car charger and separate car-to-wall converter from Monoprice. Total for both items about $5. Maybe it only charges at 500 mA but seems fine to me.

Pre-ordered it from an online retailer 2 weeks ago and finally it arrived!
I personally seldom use charging cradle in my office as I have many phone calls during day time and I am getting very sick of plugging and unplugging my phone from the cradle. But this Deluxe Cradle is different as beside sync and charge, it also supports switching between Dock Mode & Sync Mode (button) and direct Audio-out via Micro USB. It makes my phone become a media player in my office desk. And furthermore, it supports second battery charging that best fit heavy power user like me.
I would grade it 18/20

Deluxe Desktop Cradle
100 – 240V AC Adaptor

Yeah ...you are right!
I brought it from a Hong Kong etailer namely UNIMOBACC ....you can also find it by searching KiDiGi Deluxe in eBay.
Hi,
I brought the nexus wireless charger so I could use it in my car as a car charger alongside my infiniapps holder. I have everything mounted ok but I cant seem to find a cable that will allow me to connect to the charger without the dreaded red light.
I brought the portapow one from amazon which was meant to allow high amperage, but after needing to hack it so the plug would go into the charger (silly design) it still didnt work - so now I have a £5 dud cable lying around.
The difficulty is that the original cable is not long enough - my belkin charger for the cigarette lighter is ok - and Id rather not have to wire in another cigarette lighter behind the dash - so any 2 meter confirmed working cables that can be shipped to the UK out there?
Thanks!
Two meters? That's a heck of a length of cable - are you sure you really need that much?
I've had good luck with the Monoprice USB cables. The "28/24 AWG" ones supposedly have the thicker (24 AWG) wires for the power than the usual cables on the market. I have several of the 6' (~2m) ones that I use at my desk when doing dev work. They aren't floppy like the cheap cables, so I don't generally use them in the car or other places where strain on the USB connector could be an issue.
Their International page suggest that they are available through Amazon UK.
