Docking Station/Active Car Holder-HomeMade - XPERIA X10 Accessories

Hi i try to figure out how can i made a DockingStation to X10, couse i need to recharge the phone every day and this makes me angry....the dock and car holder need to be only to charge the phone, nothing else, nothing more...
if someone seen somewhere such thing, or battery what we can use to make this work when please leave post and give ideas.
i find few things:

http://www.brodit.com/images/512137.jpg
first is a fake,
second is not very comfortable, i prefer like iphone etc docks

Is the first a fake? I can't read the page but does it come with back plate that's pictured with it? It looks like the one that are aftermarket for the Wii remotes with the rechargable battery packs.

Sorry, how do you define a holder as fake...?
I mean does it only pretend to hold the phone...?
Or every time you turn away it puts the phone down, but picks it up again before you turn back, so you don't actually notice...?
Maybe it holds a different phone, but has a photo of the x10 infront, so it looks like it's holding an x10, but it's actually holding an old nokia
Although gotta say, they're some pretty nice holders... Mind you, the 'fake' one is exactly what you want - notice it gives you a new back + battery so you can actually charge your x10 without having to fiddle with the stupid port on the top... very clever if you ask me...!
What exactly do you meant by charging the phone every day makes you angry - you're still going to have to charge it every day with or without a dock, unless you change your habits (use less / turn it off) - if you just don't like fiddling with the usb port, then the 'fake' one is for you...
why don't you have a look on eBay?

Hm.
The dock looks awful. Nothing for me.
The car holder... I don´t like such car holders, due their size.
I build my own car holder... maybe I will make some photos today...

in other forums few guys say,they cant get it, and the money lost to...couse this they talk about this site or what ...
as u sad, this looks cool, and if someone can get or buy realy, i need it . Yeah,i know we need to charge this devices very often, but it can be easyest way,when plug in phon those microusb sh*ts..and not comfortable, and cant charge and talk in the same time...
I think the best way will be this type of docklets, and with this made car holder, if someone has ideas haw it made, i open for it.Like what kind of electronics we need to charg,and use in the same time, what kind of battery can we replaced the original SE type.
I just maybe can get ideas to make my own docklets, dont wanna disturb or make peoples angry and think and post what wey dont want to use.

I found the second one.
What do I win

desktop cradle with extra battery slot anywhere??

Its a shame the aftermarket accessory people are so slow to release stuff for android phones..
has anyone been able to find a desktop cradle that charges the phone, and has an extra slot for a spare battery to charge?
Thanks so much!
I would love this too. I had an eris and took a seagate freeagent external hd desktop cradle and did a little work and made a desktop charger for the eris.
But eris used the mini usb...
Any kind of desktop cradle that is out there or I could hack apart with the same charging port?
these desktop cradles/charging stations used to be really common and all over the place, but, for the last couple of phones I have had, its been hard, if not impossible to find them..

best buy listed that the EVO docking station for the desk and car wont be out till the end of July .
yeah, and that doesnt even have a spare battery compartment!
hopefully, some one else will come out with one soon, cause they could sell tons of them!
I know I want really bad. I have an extra battery from my TP2. I had a charging cradle with an extra battery slot. I gave it to the guy who bought my phone. I almost kept it just for the extra battery slot part of it but then I sold my phone so I gave it away.

Seido has a charger that can charge one battery, then charge the battery in phone at same time. but its not a dock
I think I saw that a few days ago..problem is,the phone still lays on your desk, instead of sitting in a cradle, correct?
Does anyone know if someone makes one for an HTC hd2?
Isnt that the same size/config as the EVO?
Oh really! I saw where ebay had some batterty chargers that charge battery only but I wasn't sure how good they were. They plugged into the wall. But Seidio sounds good if it charges phone and extra battery together. So far I make sure my phone stays charged cause I really am hoping I don't ever have to change batteries. It's hard to get Seidio case off and it lifts up my screen protector a bit taking case off. I need a cradle that will charge phone with case on and have an extra battery slot that would be what I need. But Oh well. I have to get the car dock 1st.

I havent seen said charger, but wouldnt the kickstand suffice to keep the device from 'laying on your desk'?
Well, yes, in a way it would, although I would prefer the neat, all in one piece look of a cradle/charger together..
Plus, since you cant get your home screen to rotate to landscape, the phone would always look **** eyed if it was on its kickstand all the time

Ahh, thats right. I forgot Sense is dumb like that. I have been using LauncherPro Beta since I got my Evo. Actually rooted it yesterday and completely got rid of sense. My Evo seems even faster, plus I can go landscape. I keep my Evo propped on its kickstand all day at work. LauncherPro, and Swype I dont even have to pick my phone up to reply to texts and emails. It's awesome. I know its not a solution to your problem, but if you dont need sense, i'd say check out LauncherPro.
I kinda like all the visual crap that sense has, but I bet I will be rooting shortly.
is there a froyo rom available for the EVO yet?
Even though I always JB'd my iphones, I am not sure there is a compelling reason for me to root my evo, especially if I cant put Froyo on it; aside from being able to use landscape everywhere, and the slight speed increase, are there any other strong reasons to root the EVO at this point?
thanks!

There is a Froyo port, but its in progress. Not everything works, but toast is working on it. If you dont know who toast is He basically wrote 2.1 for the Hero from scratch, and had a fully relased stable version before Sprint did... Here is the Froyo thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693992
Btw though, you dont have to root to use LauncherPro, just go grab it from the market. My main reason for rooting was to get rid of all the social networking and sprint crap that was added in. I hate that there apps always just open and run in the background on there own. Just like on my Hero, I had never ever once even thought of opening Sprint Nav, why would I i have google maps, and the mother effer was ALWAYS running in the back until i rooted and deleted it. I dont have a facebook, nor do I tweet so I dont need any of that stuff. Just a non sense free ROM. Pun slightly intended. Also, once rooted you can look into Over/Underclocking as well as Undervolting (Faster phone that uses less battery? Yes!) Not sure how you feel about themes, but once rooted you can theme almost every aspect of your devices interface. Ummm, lets see what else... Oh, WiFi Tether is a free app that does the same thing as the HotSpot feature, but again... it's for free.
Im not in anyway saying you have to root, or even that you should. My buddy has an Evo, and he is content with it the way it came from Sprint. I on the other hand am not. Sprint doesnt know what i want out of a phone. They are close, but I prefer my phone to be mine, ya know? Especially since I wasnt due for an upgrade and had to lay down $500 on this mother effer!
Anywho, enough of my ramblings, I have to finish my homework. Send me a pm if you have anymore questions. Take care broseph.
yeah, I kill all the sprint crap and everything else with ATK; I dont tweet much or FB either, so I just turn off their auto update crap and it doesnt bother me
It would be nice to have landscape all the time though, and I assume with launcher you can get that..I read about overclocking this thing, but, until I see that it actually works for a month or 2, I dont want to frick things up by messing with clock speed and such. This phone is so new, I dont think we really know what this hardware is all about yet.
500 is a tuff nut to swallow; i got mine at bb for 199 less all the points I turned in, so it was easy peasy for measy!
tanks for the info, bro; I'm sure we will be chatting in the future!
Man someone needs to hurry up and get on this, need a cardle ASAP, Half tempted to take my old hero cardle apart and Take a spare charger i have and with a little bit of modification make my very own.
Found one at www.seidioonline.com/product-p/crjhev4-bkc.htm called the innodock jr desktop cardle cheap too!! Not sure of the quality
only problem with that one is that it doesn't charge a spare battery..only does the phone

Hacking the Sony Liveview

Despite the bad reviews I picked up a Liveview yesterday. Was $50 brand new off Craigslist. And surprise surprise, it turned out to be a turd. Well, I don't like to waste money, so I set about modding it. Thought some people here might be interested to see what I did.
So far I've waterproofed the case. Next I'll be building a better strap, one that doesn't make it huge or block the USB port. http://www.jax184.com/projects/liveview/liveview.html has everything I've done so far on it.
Nice i got that thing and it "worked" but still with the having to restart it all the time was very annoying but i ended up sending mine back
So I've been using the Liveview for a couple days, or at least trying to. Even after doing a full reset of the device, reinstalling the software on my phone and removing all the plugins, it has a battery life of about 6-8 hours. In that time I turned the screen on twice, and it briefly lit up to tell me of an incoming call. No texts, no alerts, and I don't have farcebook/twatter/etc turned on. It sat 2 feet from my phone the entire time. If I actually try to use the damn thing to, say, control the media player, the battery goes dead in 2 to 3 hours.
Pathetic...
I've decided I'm going to build it into a custom case for a friend of mine with a much larger battery, since the stock one is completely and utterly useless. So much for my gasket job...
Not sure if the battery is just dying on yours or what but if I never touch the screen, mine lasts for a couple days at least (and that's with alerts!). Sad to hear yours has issues :\
Mine's brand new and running the latest firmware/software with the bare minimum of functionality enabled, so I'm as confused as you.
I have a liveview and i absolutely love it. I dont have any connection issues but i mostly just use it as a watch with out having it connected over bluetooth and the battery lasts for days when i do that. I do have an issue now where i dropped it and the select button on top doesnt work anymore
Can I connect multiple liveviews to my phone?
I just bought 4 of them for $15 a pop !! Sweet
I know I can use it with torque which is cool
what else can I do with them? Can I run album art to it from say player pro? or Pocket Casts?
is there a decent list somewhere of "interesting" things you can do with the little buggers?
Hi, do someone know the dimensions of the battery, because i have one with death batt. and need a replacement.
nice mod! Based on the pictures I can see the battery size in case I need to replace it, by the way using notifications my watch last 2.5 days, using a plugin last only 30minutes or less

+1 I just got one for $15, I wanna find some cool things I can do with it. What have you done to set yours up?
its a pain in the freaking butt. cool potential poor execution.
it constantly gets disconnected when something goes wrong ON THE DROID SIDE. terminating the app and relaunching it solves the problem for X period of time (few hours ??)
the most convenient access is also the worst designed. the watch band. YOU CAN NOT CHARGE IT WHILE IN THE WATCH BAND.
what freaking moron though that was a good idea to force us to remove it (VERY difficult) to charge it.
if the software bugs get worked out I may look into modding the stinking socket so I can charge it while in watch mode (thinking of RIVETING the case to the band) then I won't need the little watch pin thingy that is keeping me from charging it while its in the watch band.
and there is just not that many "cool" apps to use for it yet or the few out their are poorly executed.
how hard can it be to reliably push the freaking album art to the watch ?

2 Generations of Liveviews
Just to be clear, there are 2 versions of this device floating about... The older one goes for around $20 and is not much more than a novelty... The newer model runs around $100 and seems to have fixed the battery life issue... One should look at the Pebble once it is available as a possible alternative...

Where can you find one for 15 bucks? Even if it did nothing, I'd want it for 15 bucks, just to have as a key for my phone using tasker. I supposed I could get any old bluetooth headset, but I wanted something wearable.

Yeah, $15 is AWESOME!
$18 with Free shipping on ebay buy it now is the best price I can find so far.
I bought four of them and donated 2 to the local hackerspace.
Would be wicked to control more than one at once. I'm trying to find some chick to wear two as earrings.
Perhaps one controlled with Sony app and one Open Liveview App each for one mac address.
Contrary to earlier post, I seem to be able to have both Sony and Openliveview apps installed at once (though haven't tried RUNNING both) yet.
My battery life across the two that I've evaluated and (a third I lost to the ocean) seems significantly better than the average reported above.
But a LOT of variables have changed since the OP. New firmware, new app, new phone, new bt stack, new android versions...
My impression IIRC is that this thing is ROCK SOLID on CyanogenMod7 or CM9 on evo 3d.

largest battery for satnav motorbike use

to use on my motorbike and i now want a huge or multiple batteries so that i can use copilot to navigate the uk with, i dont want to spend huge amounts but also dont want something that is crap and will damage my phone,
so please can someone advice me of big Mah batteries that will last longer than the standard and also be save to use without damaging my phone like some of the super cheep ebay ports will
thankyou
anyone could you advise me on a battery please
I think you might be better off with a power point to continuously charge it. They're just as cheap, even from the likes of Maplins, and easy to install.
I gave up depending on batteries on my bike years ago, if you have several they're fine for a day or two so long as you don't mind having to stop and change them out at random times, but if you're on an extended trip it can sometimes get tricky to find somewhere to recharge at night especially when out foreign or say camping.

the waterproof case i got only just fits the note so no room to plug a cable in, to bad as this would have been a great idea
I've got an Aquabox which is pretty much the same as yours and had the same problem, so I just drilled a hole in the thing
It's mounted to the bars and most of the rain is deflected by the screen anyway so not much actually gets to hit it, and it's survived since Christmas right on the Atlantic coast through lots of the wet stuff
you could also get something like this
Them Aquaboxes look alright ... might have to get one of them myself

Mugen 3000 mAh battery case available for order

Pre-order, that is
Here it is
At 89.50$ plus shipping it's a little steep, though. And I would have liked to have some images of the product rather than the phone. I know what the phone looks like already.
maybe an Image
you can check http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mugen-Power-Xperia-Compact-3000mAh/dp/B00RWR6XJG/
for the Pictures
Lol. With this case you can probably last 4-5 days with the z3c
Ridiculous price...$89.50
You can BUY n°5 10.000mah rapid charge external battery.......and you can use your z3c for 2 months.

Does anyone have this for their Z3 compact? Does it fit snugly and clip on properly?
Thats actually a really awesome idea with using the mag charging ports! if it were 50 bucks i would get one right now
I'd love to see this case in a video, just to get a good look at its proportions etc. It is pricey....but I'd probably just spend the cash on car parts anyway.....

You asked for it
1. I would like to see photos of the phone with and without the case lying on a flat surface, to get am idea of how thick it is.
2. When you use the case, does the phone think it's constantly being charged? What amount of days shows you ultrastamina mode?
3. How long does it take to charge fully?
4. Do you notice any overheating issues after using the case for some time?
Thanks, that's all I can think of at the moment

The case has a button on the rear of the case to enable the charging process. When the case is deactivated the phone behaves as it would without the case. With the case activated it behaves as it would when sitting in a charging dock or with a magnetic charging cable attached.
The only 'downside' so far to the use of magnetic charging port is that when the case is activated the phone believes it is in a 'dock' and automatically answers phone calls with the loud speaker on.
But I have found mention of an xposed module that may rectify this automation, I will report back with a link when I have tested to confirm its effect.
I am studying all this week so give me a little while to fully answer all your questions, but I will answer them
Photos
Here are some photos that hopefully show the case and it's proportions well enough.
I'm no photographer by any means though haha.
Oh and ignore the metal dome stuck onto the back of it, that's for my car mount.
That looks so bad!
While it is awesome to have 5 days battery life, this is for special occasions only in my opinion.

oh I agree. I wanted it mainly as an alternative to carrying a separate power bank hanging off the phone via USB cable. At least this case attaches neatly to the phone and can still fit my pocket.
So yes, ugly, but highly practical.
I feel I should also mention the build quality is really very good, it feels very solid.
How many days and sot you've got with this battery ?

Well, given the info on their homepage it should last at least twice as long as your phone does now.
built in battery is 2600mAH, the mugen brings an additional 3000mAh. So I guess in Ultra-Stamina mode it basically lasts like an old Nokia? I was actually about ordering one for my upcoming transatlantic flight, but I just saw that they'll ship again in mid-June only
Well, I will receive the mugen battery in 10 days, I don't use ultra stamina but stamina is on all the time so I will see exactly the difference. Now I have between 8 and 10 hours sot, if I have between 16 and 20 hours sot, it's just great so I wait to see ?.

Any more impressions now that you've had it for a short while? I'm really temped to buy one too.. it's just one of those "good-to-have" things.
Also, do you charge it via micro usb, like the smartphone and how long does it take to charge the battery case completely?
Btw, do we already know the size of the Z4 Compact? it would be great if it worked on the upcoming model too..

So far so good! I do intend to put some more stats up from my usage I've just been flat out with university. Luckily that all wraps up next week!
Yep it just charges via the same cable as the phone.
The use of the magnetic charging port definitely makes the case much more useful. I had an epic ZeroLemon case for my note 3 with a built in extended battery and it such an ordeal to install and remove the phone from the case. This is a much better solution.
It's hard to measure the effect it has on predicted battery life because it charges via the magnetic charging port the phone recognises it as an AC charging source.
Once I have got some stats I might even make a little youtube review, maybe, don't want to get famous hahahaha.

ZeroLemon 4700 mah Battery Case review

Hey everyone,
So I know there are a couple other reviews for this case but that's ok. I have been using mine for a bit now and last night after a lot of real life usage have put together a review. See how it held up in real life conditions!!! Feel free to ask any questions if you have any!!!
I know you weren't fussy about discussing the ZeroLemon in your other thread, but thought it may be better not to clutter that one up too much, so I replied here
markbencze said:
Nice. I'm still using mine. One thing I forgot to mention in the video that took me a bit to figure out was that when your phone battery is at 100% the battery case will turn off after a bit. It's not a bug though it's a feature. I mean it kinda makes sense right. Why waste power if it's at 100%. So when I'd look at my phone at times and see it's not charging and went down to like 96 or 97 I'd power the case back on and shortly thereafter it would go back up. Pretty clever feature actually.

Ah, ok. This will be my first ever extended battery attachment on any device so this will be interesting
Will the ZeroLemon turn on and start charging at "X%" of phone battery left, or do you manually turn the Zero on?

I know you weren't fussy about discussing the ZeroLemon in your other thread, but thought it may be better not to clutter that one up too much, so I replied here

You have to manually turn it on. That would be pretty cool if it were that smart but it's not.
So I've been using my ZeroLemon since last Saturday now. While I enjoy the peace of mind of having more power available if needed, I'm not quite sure I need it to be honest I can get through the day just fine with the phone's built in battery.
Also, not quite sure I like the look of the carbon fiber appearance, but it's growing on me.
I always, and have to, use a belt clip/holster for my devices. And as such, there is no such thing available for the LG G7 with the Zero. So, I modified my existing belt clip/holster to fit it (heat guns are wonderful items )
Anyway, just my experience and not sure if I'll continue to use it, or toss it in the drawer for possible future use

I don't see how such a thing can be considered a case replacement to be taken with you to work, school or the coffee shop.
I see such a device as being for when you will be gone from civilization (Read: USB plugs) for a few days. I mean you can charge these phones with a laptop or any USB station in a lot of places, without needing the charger with you.

True, I'll go with you on that.
I suppose there are folks who don't want to worry about their battery dying during heavy usage and having to carry a charging cable and a means of charging it.
And then there are other folks like me who thought it looked pretty neat and wanted to try it
Hey thanks for the review. I've loved Zerolemon. Bought their extended life batteries for both my Note 3 and Galaxy S 3. Man those things were beastly!
Question, when it's charging on the phone how does that effect quick charge? Does it disable it until the case gets full then let it quick charge after the case is at 100%?
Random comment of the day from me listening to your voice made me laugh a little bit, not in a bad way of course, I knew from the long O's that you were either in the northern parts of the US or Canada. I've got family in Minnesota and Wisconsin and had a few online XBL friends from Canada. It's really funny when I start to combine my familys' Southern and Northern accent that I start picking up both. ADHD for the win!
Delete, I found a home for it

I have the ZeroLemon case for this device, hardly used it and now I traded the G7 for the G8 so I have no need for the case and do not want to throw it out. If anyone wants it, PM me and I will send it out.

Dude! I just bought this phone a week ago, if you wouldn't mind sending it that would be awesome! I'll send you my address.
