Motorola Rapid Charger Problem

I got a good deal on the Motorola rapid charger on ebay, shipped for $6. It charges fine and everything is good performance-wise, but there seems to be a problem with the micro-usb fitment with my TB. When I'm unplugging the phone from the charger it seems like it's stuck in there pretty good. Rather than just pulling on it and risking damage to my phone I just tried wiggling it out. That seemed to work and after about only the 5th use the usb end of the charger came apart and part of it was actually still stuck in the phone. Well of course I almost **** my pants because that's obviously not a good thing. I did get it out of the TB with no damage done to it, but now I'm confused as to why it's so much trouble to remove the charger from the micro-usb port. I see that it has 2 little hooks on the end and I don't see any release to push in as I'm unplugging, so what am I doing wrong? I read all the rave reviews on here and Amazon both about how well the charger works, specifically for the TB. The weird part is that I don't see anyone mention having this problem, can someone help me out here? I'll attach a pic of the charger just so we're on the same page here.

Yeah I don't know what the deal is. I tried it in my Nook Color when I still had it and there was no problem at all. So that would make me think it was the TB somehow, BUT... any other micro-usb I have ever tried in the TB has ever done this. I guess I just got a defective charger, I think I'm gonna try Amazon this time and just get another. Who knows where the ebay one came from. But the weird part is the hooks on the micro-usb end, I swear I think those are not releasing like they should or something.

Good Vehicle Mount?

I ordered a vehicle mount from Amazon and had to return it. The "arms" that held the phone in place covered the volume rocker. Only way to make it work was to sit it in the there not centered and that just looked bad. Paid $25 for it so I didn't want to have to do that just to make it work.
Has anyone gotten a vehicle mount that works properly? Preferably from Amazon?
Here is what I ordered before.

I personally just make my own. Buy a reasonably cheap hard case from eBay, and combine it with a Garmin sat nav mount also from eBay. Some heavy duty Velcro and it works great. Did the same with my desire. Means I can interchange for when I am driving or my partner now she has the desire. Also cost about £6 in materials and postage.

Based on what I heard other people say in this forum I went with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Also checked some reviews on youtube.. just got it yesterday so I can let you know how it goes by end of next week...

I normally go with Arkon. I had one mount for 4 years, it charged it too. However it finally went out. And yes, you can get it from amazon prime : )

I ordered an electronic cheapo from hk for $10. It has adjustable everything. It even handled my atrix very well considering the spot of usb and hdmi on that. And it has to two flip out arms on bottom. I just use the one on the left so I can plug my 3.5mm jack in.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

Thanks for the responses. I just ordered the Arkon one. That one looks like it should work really well!

Here's the mount I ordered until Proclip starts shipping their mount:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
I posted a pic up there with my gnex in it. The mount is flimsy compared to the proclip I used with my dinc for 2 years but I didn't expect much for $15.
The Gnex fits in it just fine and no buttons or ports are covered. Didn't want to drop $50 on the crappy VZW mount only to pitch it when my proclip comes. My Xterra doesn't have a lot of places to set it and I was tried of it sliding off my leg and smacking into the door on turns
After using it for a few days I will say I wish it stayed attached to my AC vent a little better but generally it does what it says and stays put.

Very similar to the exo mount posted here too.
I really want the Samsung GSM one though...

Samsung SPH-D710 OEM Battery + Charger

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ET-CGPK009GSTA-SPH-D710-Battery-Charger/dp/B005LBEA6I
Package Contents: Battery Charger, Travel Charger, Standard Battery
I just bought this. It is on sale for $31.80 with free shipping. It's also sold by amazon!

Yeah I saw it it was 33 a couple days ago. I ended up wanting something NOW. Walked into a sprint store they no longer carry it. Bought the Sprint version/battery. Works great but more expensive and its not as small or as useful or include a charger.

I have this one. Works great and love the stand.

For the first time I broke 4 hours screen time on stock blazer 4.1. I ended up with 4.5 hours. Turns out my old battery was simply crap and a new one did the trick!

click on other new and used sellers. Amazon is listed there. it's going for 29 bucks from Amazon now.

Go with the anker batteries. They don't sell them for our phone specifically but the vibrant/fascinate batteries work great. I paid $26 after shipping and tax for two batteries and a charger. Plus if you go to the evo 4g forums and some others anker has rave reviews from people here

I considered this one but think the Kidigi:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kidigi-Ca...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2c65f14b42

Ordered one the other day, should arrive on the same day my HOX goes back for repair. Decided on this as it claimed to be vibration free but we will see when I get my HOX back :fingers-crossed:

Have to agree - just received mine from Expansys (sent from France strangely enough).
Sturdy, reasonably vibration free, phones fits with or without case (removable insert).
That plus a usb charging port and HTC Sense car app launching automatically = win.

I'm using this also. Working as a charm, no problems.
When JB will come out to HOX, maybe we will have audio out on usb, so it will be just one fast move - phone in dock and we have charging, audio on speakers, and phone safetly placed on dashboard...

It's nice, kind of expensive though...doesn't come with the charger either.

cheaper direct from expansys

does car dock come on with any usb cable or does it have to be certain type ?

I ordered the original one being sold by HTC through att. Former doesn't get better and it's the most premium looking one I've seen.

I got this case, but haven't used it yet. What is preventing me from using it is the fact that despite being advertised as being able to fit most cases, it doesn't fit my Ballistic case.

How is it better than anything from Brodit;

Samsung Mobile USA posted on its Facebook that it's sending a coupon for 50% off accessories.
Here's the Facebook status:

My phone is registered but what is Owner's Hub? I don't see an app for it on the Play store or anywhere on my phone.

It's linked to Facebook, but it didn't like my IMEI. Too bad, the coupon would have been nice.

I hate how everything these days is linked to facebook and twitter.
Guess I miss out on this deal. Don't want to make a stupid fb account.

i guess it's only for US gs3. entered my canadian imei, didn't work. thanks for the post tho.
if anyone got the code and wouldn't mind sharing that'd be awesome!

It's not worth it. Have you seen the "accessories" on their site? There's 12 things for the S3.

It's pretty funny what I did the other day and I had to share.... I used the coupon code for an accessory and I added a "Development Verizon S3" and it took half off of the phone too and it even let me checkout and I got a confirmation e-mail and everything! I ordered (2) of the 32gb models and it was almost $700 with tax... I should have just tried to get one and maybe it might have slipped by the radar but unfortunately they caught on and cancelled my order... LMAO I knew that was gonna happen but I HAD to try.... Maybe one of you should try to just order a phone with one accessory and see if it goes thru?? YMMV crazy that it would even let the order go through though.... Like I said, I had to try!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

i'll be holding onto my coupon until the last eligible day, hoping that the wireless charger gets released.

Great info
Thanks

EVERY accessory I click on only has a link to a different seller. How do I buy it on their site? I like how they make like 7 different color flip covers.
