I caught that too, I wonder what the hell that means - anyone?
I really want to buy this too, looks gorgeous and does exactly what I want!
Really nice looking that one!
Clove a one that does the same thing, 5 pounds cheaper, but not quite nice looking. Shame they also do not have the extra batteries in stock...
...and I agree - you've got to love a picture of the phone in the dock with the phone showing itself overclocked
I guess it might be a typo or maybe this is designed for the Optimus 2x but the Galaxy S II fits as well especially since the Optimus 2X also has the microUSB port at the sae location.

I thought about that too and the likeliness of the USB placement being similar is high, however, I'd be surprised if the batteries lined up perfectly...?
Or maybe this is the other way around, its a stand designed for the S II and fits the 2x as well. So battery individual charging might not be there.
The same thing is available without the spare battery charger

its a nice dock i suppose you gotta take the case off your mobile everytime you put your phone in the dock..
Hi everybody.. I will be owning Samsung Galaxy SII later and
I am searching this kind of device. Unfortunately, it is still no stock.
Also, I have been searching and find something similiar in: Anymode Charging Dock with Stand for Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 (w w w . exportprive . com/anymode-charging-dock-with-stand-samsung-galaxy-i9100-p-16205 .htm).(erase all spaces to open). However when I am going to order from export prive, there is *** beside it and it says "Products marked with *** dont exist in desired quantity in our stock.
You can buy them anyway and check the quantity we have in stock for immediate deliver in the checkout process.". What does it mean? Does it mean out of stock? I only intend to order one and from the availability (48 hr), Available under 48h
Items are in stock and ready to be shipped. So, what does it actually mean?
Can you find other alternative to that? Thx!
Hi.. I have just found another altrernative: Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 USB Desktop Cradle with 2nd battery slot by Mugen POWER BATTERY. Is it good? Is the website reliable? Thx!
somebody please answer me ( (
thx

I would love to know this even with Samsungs original case?
Has anyone found a stand that can support it?
Just ordered one, hope it works as well as it looks
@Venomqld & Lembo : You probably do need to take the case off, however there are stands/cradles that come with interchangeable cradle sizes so you can charge it and dock it without having to take the case off, I'll try to find the link for it.
Edit: the link to the dock I was talking about can be found in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072200&page=5
Page 5 , you will find pictures there.
If only that had a DC jack on the back as well, I'd snap that up.

It says it is for the trophy and mozart. looked up their specs on htc's site and the are very similar in design. the only thing I don't like is you have to use two usb cords, one to charge/sync the phone and another if you want to charge the spare battery at the same time...
Thanks for posting this link! I wasn't aware of any dock for the Trophy. It looks kinda funny though; the horizontal orientation. I wonder if that would work for me...

A few dollars and it's better. It looks like this will fit it better. I think I am going to get this for the site of my bed, so when it's dark I can put my phone there with out issues.
The other one for less does not fit the phone, so you will have to line it up.
Have anyone tried these docks?
I wonder if I put my Trophy into them, will "Dock Mode" app start automatically?
Why you need dock ?
I'm just curious
If you don't have an extra battery
If you don't have an extra battery like me you can try this one
p.s. I havent yet tried it but I want to get it so i can use my phone as an alarm clock (and to use with "Dock Mode")

I just got this same dock, but apparently for more money from this vendor: ebay.com/itm/DOCKING-STATION-BATTERY-Micro-Mini-USB-CHARGER-for-HTC-7-Mozart-7-Trophy-/180819103531?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2a19a88f2b#ht_2162wt_1396
Had an issue with a lost shipment, but they shipped a new one and got it within 2 weeks. Dock seems to work fine and I actually wanted it because of the mini-usb connections since I have so many mini-usb chargers laying around. It was also good that my 2150 mAh HTC battery can get charged as well since it was an open slot that doesn't care how thick the battery is. Seems okay thus far. It doesn't have a snap or guided locking feel to it that I would like when putting the phone in the dock, but it works.

This dock will not work with extended sized batteries.
Does anyone know of an alternative source for this dock?
I've had it on order for a couple of weeks now, but it's still showing up as out of stock - more due shortly
Can't seem to find anywhere else that's doing it!

Bought mine from an ebay reseller and it came in a week from South Korea..
http://www.exportprive.com/samsung-desktop-charging-dock-galaxy-i9100-p-16416.html
ordered spare battery, in the uk within a week
Thanks for that both....
@benjatt - When you searched on the exportprive site for it and it gave you that price.....was that the total price, inc postage etc? It works out 2 or 3 quid extra from them but if that includes the postage as well, I'll cancel my order with mobilefun and order it from exportprive instead, as I rang MF today and they said the next shipment should be in around the 8th July (the last one that should've arrived last Monday, never turned up at all!!)
@chybinj - exportprive are based in S Korea it seems, so your item might have come from their ebay shop!
If you think you can sync data or connect with this device, stay away from this. Yes, I do have it with a gold pack SGS II...
But you can not connect to PC nor sync with it. It is just a stylish charger device for desktop that's all... It does not have own speakers it just a bigger hole that increase sound a bit also.
I was really disappointed that it can not connect at all.. Was hoping for that...

Nope.....don't want to sync or anything...just want a nice and easy 'in-out' sliding action, into a good-looking bedside dock/charger (which, judging by the various vids I've seen of this device, it seems to give....) My current one, clunks in and out of the protruding micro-usb spiggot.....and echo's loudly off my bedside cabinet in doing so....which deffo isn't appreciated by my 'better-half', at 4.30am.....

Ah no, it is still good "desktop clock" (it has a desktop clock function built-in within the phone -- different type of idle screen)
However, glad I did not pay anything for it extra other than phone's cost.
I can recommend this one for everybody. It is so good. Already ordered another one for my work place.
And then the one question which everybody has been thinking: Does the phone fit there if using official Samsung back cover..
I should get the cover today, so I will try it as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
i also want to buy this desktop charger but i dont know if the phone is going to fit because i am using the skinomi body skin.

To all those asking about fit, it's tight. I have a protective skin on mine and it just barely makes it. Anything thicker than a protector won't work.
Bought one of these from Amazon, which was supplied by expansys, even though it said delivery delays it turned up in 3 days, then they reduced to 29.95 so I ordered another one again turned up in 3 days.
Excellent bit of kit, really nice for the bed side table to.

I'm looking to buy one of these, but they are too expensive for my liking, anyone know if I can get THIS for cheaper?
My phone sits by my computer most of the time, and with my HTC Mogul, then HTC Touch Pro, then EVO 4G I've bought a combo cradle/battery charger. I haven't seen one mentioned available here for the Epic 4G Touch and I just found/bought one on eBay and thought I'd mention it for others interested in a device like this. Once I receive the item I can post a review if you guys would like.

Question for anyone that has purchased this dock..
Have you been able to charge your phone with any type of case on it? Thanks.
Just a quick update. I got the charger, but I don't have an Epic 4G Touch yet. The first seller I bought the phone from ended up being from a scammer. I gave the dock/charger to a friend, and bought another one that's already here. I should have the Epic 4G Touch from another seller here by Tuesday and will post my impressions soon after.
Damn, sorry to hear that..
Ok guys...
Im also looking at desktop cradles and found this other one:

$22 (includes shipping):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS
It's basically almost the same design as the one the OP linked to. What do you guys think?
I kind of wanted one that you could rest the phone in and charge it with a cover on, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

This one looks nice, but some of the reviews for this brand (for other phones) mentions it covers up the speaker so when the phone is docked the sounds are silenced since the speaker is at the bottom. Although this may be true for all these 3rd party docks.
It's cool, Paypal resolution against the scammer just resolved today and they sided with me and already credited my PayPal account.
---
For that other cradle from Amazon, though you probably can put it on its side I'd be concerned with the side buttons/hitting the desk and possibly being pressed in, and possibly the device itself slipping out. The other concern I have with that model is that I can't clearly see the extra battery charger compartment. The one I got should accommodate extended batteries, but I can't tell on that model.
Found this one... similar

it looks like the one from Amazon just a different brand.. it also covers the speaker so I wonder if you can hear the alarms or music... there may be enough room behind the actual phone to allow the sound to be heard, but it doesnt look like it.
Quick first impressions:
* Feels solid and fits snugly, so pay attention when docking the phone in as it aligns only one way.
* When no battery is in the battery charging slot there's a LED that flashes crazy fast green/red which may bother some people. You can always cover it up with electrical tape. I don't notice it most of the time since my phone blocks the LED anyways when docked.
* A significant negative and quite surprising difference in the dock compared to the docks I had for my EVO 4G / Touch Pro and Mogul are that this dock only has one USB slot. So it either charges the battery and phone from a wall plug or it charges the battery and connects/charges the phone via your computer's USB port. My previous phone docks had 2 USB connectors, one for the battery and one for the phone. I haven't tried connecting this to my computer or charging an extra battery yet but I'm figuring trying to charge two things at the same time via one USB cable, especially when connected to a computer USB port would not be very efficient.
Update 12/09/2011: Argh, deal breaker, just got my Trexcell 3800mah Extended Battery, but because of the location of the battery contact on the battery and dock it won't fit, .
Killabee and talynone
that second black dock is the one I am interested in. my PRIMARY concern with docks that use the charging jack on the phone (whatever happened to dedicated dock "contacts" on phones Cheap SOB's)
is that I want the phone IMMOBILIZED while in the dock. ie I don't want to be able to TILT the phone forward while in the dock "stressing and breaking" the usb jack on the phone.
IE I want the dock to RESTRICT the movement of the phone to vertical only (insert remove dock connector type motion)
the first dock in this thread would NOT prevent the phone from tilting forward.
the second one I am not sure about. do those sides "wrap" around the edge of the phone enough to restrict its movement to a solid slide and NO forward slop?
Here is a video of what I mean. (its processing give it a few minutes to process)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhWtz5EU_Rg
nerys71,
I saw your video and can tell you that the phone in this dock is not restricted from tilting. So yes it will tilt while charging. I am talking about this dock:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS
ahh pity. I assume you have it? does the phone protrude past the front "AT ALL" in that dock? IE it looks like it would be friendly to modding it with 2 "lips" on the front to prevent the phone tilting.
Yeah I have it. It doesn't pertrude at all. The phone sits flush.
I was expecting this to happen...

I would love to get this but $89.99 is highway robbery. Looks great though and thanks for the heads up.
Dock is in stock now. Just ordered mine. FWIW the shipping is free... Agree that $90 is steep but there are still no other POGO options for i515 that I've seen.
Now all I need is the POGO car dock...
Not that GSM version is any cheap also, but you pay for a really high quality made accessory, any original accessory cost more than aftermarket..

I don't know if you use a case or an extended (2100mah) battery but if you do, could you post whether or not they fit or if you think they would? I'm really looking forward to this thing but before dropping $90 on it I'd like know cause my phone always has the extended in and rarely ever leaves the cruzer lite tpu case. Thanks!

The pogo pins are for charging and audio out... no reason to suspect this would allow for data transfer without pins analogous to D+ and D-. Samsung even lists it as being merely a charger in the spec sheet.

DIY if you just want a charging dock without audio out, it's real easy to make, made my in 2-3 hours.
Of course if you DIY, you can't throw abuse it it, it's gona break faster than the original Samsung one, but it works
Any confirmation of it working with the OEM extended battery and back?
mine will show up in about 24 hours. I have the OEM 2100ma extended battery and will post results as soon as I know them. Based on posters who bought this dock back in Feb when it was first introduced, I expect it will fit w/o issues.
Can anyone confirm whether plugging an MHL adapter to the micro-USB output on the dock will provide one with video output?
This guys says yes, but I'd like to hear from others to believe it:

Very cool. I wonder what the charging pad looks like.
Also, while this will fit under your otterbox I don't know if it will actually charge it through it. Worth the $45 though!

This looks like a damn good price tbh. $68 for a receiver and charger is cheaper than any qi combo that I know of currently.
The bonus is that it's also Qi technology so even if you change your s3 out, you should be able to get another phone that has qi tech in it or even modify that charging pad to work on other electronic devices (with some copper tape/wire)

Thats exactly what i was thinking.. The odd fact that i just so happend to find this today and apparently it just went live today i am pretty excited to snag it at this price.
But As im sure the capabilities to wirelessly charge are inevitably going to be included in future phones it isnt like this tech is likely going to be easily replaced. And it also seems like Samsung is going to abandon using our phones tech as wireless charging.. or at least thats what i gathered from thsi article..
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/11/samsung_s4/
the thing w/ samsung and wireless charging is that they really have no idea who the hell they're really going to back. Yes, Samsung co-founded A4WP, but they're also member of Qi's group as well.
To me, it just looks like they're sitting on the fence and waiting to see who will come out as the standard before going all in. I also don't think Samsung will build it into the phone itself due to its current ambivalence on the 2 standards and most likely leave it open like the s3 and note 2.
While the article talks about a4wp having a few cm of range, he also did not mention that a newer revision of Qi offers up to 4cm of range as well (last I checked).
I don't care much for too much range for wireless charging, just enough so that any non-ferrous case will charge regardless of thickness. I have a Qi set and it has so far worked with the ballisitc SG (although it Can get picky, but that's due to the fact that I also modified the charger to be at a 45 degree angle and the case's bottom lip [on the hard plastic side] curved up a little for no reason)

While the article talks about a4wp having a few cm of range, he also did not mention that a newer revision of Qi offers up to 4cm of range as well (last I checked).
I don't care much for too much range for wireless charging, just enough so that any non-ferrous case will charge regardless of thickness. I have a Qi set and it has so far worked with the ballisitc SG (although it Can get picky, but that's due to the fact that I also modified the charger to be at a 45 degree angle and the case's bottom lip [on the hard plastic side] curved up a little for no reason)

Right that much i understand...
I was holding out for the wireless charging where i didnt need to have it directly on the base. and every few months i search around for a viable option.
So far, since my free time is limited, this seems like the best all in one solution that doesnt require me to change my case, and its a good price.

in you case it seems to be a cheaper and more reliable solution imo.
all in all, it's a good find. although I should've ask if it affects nfc as well..

The stealth one, and the one built into a battery cover can be found on a different site for only about $15.
this one comes with a charger as well.. which would cost 50-60 usd more. so it's a good deal.

Well.. I bought mine for $47.90 with the charger and receiver, so if your willing to spend just another $2 then you can get that with less of the wait.
that's great. any link for others who might be interested?

Hm.. I like how there is radio silence as soon as there is a mention of link to provide proof.....
I wonder if the smart one works with those thin protective cases?

That was for Tenchuboy, not you.
He claimed he got a set that was cheaper and all that, so I asked a link so he can prove it. So far, complete silence from him.
OOOhhhhhhh....
i got it. i know i could make a set with the palm pixie stuff, i priced it out on amazon and total with a charging dock its like 20$... but i dont have the time to. im only actually home about 3 days a month. id rather be lazy..
Just an FYI i got my wireless charging kit from this company and it works great. Its a small device that attaches to the back of the stock battery. Its very small and it fits perfectly, very small buldge from the device but the back case fits on fine and my otterbox fits it perfectly.
the best part, it works with the stock otterbox. there were no issues with wireless charging whatsoever.
How is this one any different than any of the other wireless IQ receiver pads & chargers for the s3?

That it works with all variants, doesnt require you to change out your battery door, although they offer a solution for it, and its pad and reciever for 40$
