Does anyone know what the power requirements are/will be for the XOOM? I expect it to have a good battery, but I still want to set up or simply buy a solar charging system for when I am not home. I might utilize the barometer to try geocaching.
Also, will it be trickle chargeable over USB?
I have the same question on USB charging. We know it has its own AC charger and special port. I asked on another forum this question and will post back if I hear anything.
Xoom manual is out on the web and it clearly states no charging via USB.

I guess the question now is what is the voltage of the charger. It has a car charger so the voltage is hopefully not high. I want to be able to charge it with my 6.5w solar panel.

If you have not yet tried the iGo tips/chargers, I strongly recommend you consider. Instead of a gazillion chargers, you change the tip. I picked up one for my laptop that works both in my car and house. It came with tips for almost every laptop imaginable so I can let others charge in my car, too. I am guessing one of my laptop tips might work for the xoom. Also the laptop charger has a USB port so I can charge my laptop and a device off so USB at the same time.
It would seem 5V would be the norm. Its the amperage that I am wondering.
We know the ipad in which this tablet draws its battery comparison uses 5V and 2.1amps.
We will find out soon enough

The charger is a 12V 1.5A charger. The tip is not a common one; definitely small and looks like it will break easily. I hope decent options come soon for using the contact dots.

I wonder why they went with this kind of connector. Too bad they didn't spend the money to include some kind of inductive charging system. It wouldn't have increased the cost of the tablet that much, maybe $10 in parts.
I just checked EBay and I found combo silicone case + "micro USB car charger" for the xoom. I wonder if the car charger is legit.
Anyone bought a car charger yet? Motorola's is a bit pricey at $30.

i didn't even know there was one... vz/bb didn't have it when i picked my xoom up. i have an inverter but might be good to leave charger at home and just use one in my car. link? 30 is a bit pricey, but in line with what they charge, usually you can get the same thing for 5 on ebay/amazon after a few months. link? all i see are usb car chargers.

A little more hackish, but why not just use a Male to Female USB extension.

Yes, this works. You can do better than Amazon though:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10303#1030304
Very high quality, can't beat the price. Much better alternative than spending $10-$20 for a knock-off OEM cable.

Yes! AFAIK Monoprice makes or at least has their house brand cables manufactured themselves. Their prices are amazing and their quality is a notch above the "premium" cables that Best Buy pushes on you.
I can also vouch for the Amazon Basics USB extenders as we use a ton of the 3m ones at work.
Remember that the Tab will slow charge unless you use a charger that can tell it to fast charge. Otherwise it thinks it's charging off a PC USB port and won't draw more than 500mA. I haven't measured the Samsung adapter to see if D+/D- are shorted, but on my Nexus One and Nook Color this trick works great

Yes, I have bought tons of stuff from them. 2 TV mounts about a year back...$50 each for top quality mounts (better than the $500 mounts Best Buy sells). Recently I have purchased about four micro-USB cables for my Evo (for the car, the house, the apartment, etc.). And I have also purchased audio cables from them.
Never a problem...great products, great pricing. Can't go wrong!

I use Amazon because I have prime and they deliver in 2 days for free, even for a $3 cable. In the past I have ordered TV mounts from MonoPrice, and they are absolutely fantastic as well. Great prices and great service.
Funny how for the same cable as mono price charges $2, Best Buy charges $40 and people just blindly walk in and pay it... guess that's what's keepin the doors open at bestbuy
Thanks for the info in this thread, the stock cable that came with it is way too short, kinda annoying actually.

little old but this is true. Their HDMI cables are better than the BB ones and pretty much anything out there. Don't be fooled by big marketing and shiny connections. Trust me, these work and they are GREAT. There was a BIG controversial show down between big names and the no names and well, guess who won.

Its not the cable. Its the USB ports on PCs. They only push out around 500mA. The tabs need around 2mA to get rolling.. Thats why we can charge on a wall socket while using it, and the PC wont charge it even if the screen is off. The Tab as to be off completely for the PC to charge it.

Thanks a bunch. I'll order one of those cables on Amazon since I have Prime. It's weird, even the official charger only charges about 5%/hour while in use and not a ton more than that while fully off.
Edit: I tried using an extender I found in my closet. When I hooked it up, the tablet went from 'charging (AC)' to 'discharging'. A message saying 'USB connection and 'MTP connection.

So, you're confirming that a USB extender does NOT work?
I've seen lots of reviews of longer cables on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Tablet...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315864961&sr=1-17) that say all these 3rd party longer cables DO NOT charge at the same rate as the OEM cable, even with the OEM charger
Has anyone else confirmed if a USB extender or any available 3rd party longer-than-OEM cable will still charge at the same rate as the OEM cable with OEM charger?

Hi
Just spotted this on Expansys - is it genuine?
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/
I thought the multimedia dock was going to be landscape?
Or are there 2 options?
Matthew
Yeah saw this too, my bet is by looking at the triangle construction on the back it can be both landscape and portrait but may be wrong......
Assuming the docks in this video are for the Galaxy Nexus: http://youtu.be/14x9kKgvHkg?t=1m7s
There appear to be two docks. A landscape dock that uses the pogopins, and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL. I'd guess that the landscape dock is just a charging dock, while the portrait dock is a multimedia dock.
and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just a thought: Since MHL just mirrors everything on the screen, a portrait dock would make a terrible MHL Dock for the most part.
Might be a dumb q... but will the landscape multimedia dock charge at the same time?!
i have seen this dock with the galaxy II,in a video.
so maybe the shop is wrong?
There is definitely a portrait multimedia dock as I have seen it advertised on other sites but not available until 30th November. I looked at a similar dock on the expansys site for the Galaxy SII and it does say it can be used in landscapde mode but I would assume you did that by just turning the dock on its side and the viewing angle on a desk would be pretty bad like that since it would sit 90 degrees to the desk.
It also doesnt say any information such as output ports but the other ones I have seen have an HDMI OUT for connection to a monitor or tv.
The image is also wrong for the Galaxy Nexus as it shows 2 buttons on the right side (presumably for the volume) when there should just be the single button on the right for the on/off and 2 buttons on the left for the volume (which the picture snt showing so we dont know). It probably wont even look like that lol.
Expansys obviously dont have any stock of this dock and the price looks pretty high so I would wait until the beginning of December and see what amazon or ebay start offering.
Mark.
It does say "Note: temporary picture" ... We'll see.
it does say " Note: temporary picture."

Good point. Maybe that dock can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, like the Galaxy S II docks.
Anyone find it weird that the Galaxy Nexus has both a MHL port and the pogo pins? It's like they can't decide on how to dock the thing and threw in the kitchen sink. With the MHL/MicroUSB port you can get USB data, charging, HDMI output, and maybe analog audio too, so what's the use for the pogo pins? It just makes docking options more complicated...

MHL can't be used at the same time as USB as far as I know. When the MHL cable or adapter is attached the phone detects it and it switches over to MHL.

Yeah, it's either MHL or USB. But what's the point of the pogo pins? All they do is charge. The MHL port, regardless of whether it's in MHL mode or USB mode, still charges. You don't gain anything by using the pogo pins. It leaves the MHL/USB port open, but then if you want to use it, it's still only either MHL or USB.

Nice..i kinda wished it used the 3-pins on the sides instead tho. Imma still grab it once its available.
This is exaaaaaaactly what I have been looking for. I wonder if there will be a way to get a gnex with a case to fit in it...thats the pain with most docks, not case friendly . Any ideas?
Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.
I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.
I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

I don't blame you.
But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

I have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.

A stand-alone cable would allow the convenience of one-cable charge/audio out when you have a case on your phone and use a universal dock. I'm waiting for one of these cables.
Im surprised there is not one...and the reason for the cable is you can get a universal cradle and the cable for half the price of an ibolt...plus I hear they are really bulky and the phone is sunk in there as its one size fits all. But this is only what I have heard and could be mistaken.

Since this is my first post, I am unable to post Amazon's link directly, but if you search for iBolt on Amazon.com, you should see it for $9.95. The 3.5mm aux cable is not gold plated though. Enjoy.

When I ran my cable in my car (just a monoprice cable, i don't use a ibolt) I pupped a couple dash panels off, and ran it INSIDE the dash... then of course (because I am a dork) i took apart the car adapter.... and hardwired it to the fuse box. now the only evidence of a cable is the 3" that goes from the a pillar to the mount. totally worth it, but you need a long cable to do the routing.
Sounds like it might be worth checking out.
Was there an issue using the iBolt cable and JB? I know there was something that was not working right with an update or rom or something, sorry too lazy to search at the moment...I would hate to get this cable and the update to JB come out in a month and then figure out there is a problem. Hopefully I got this wrong

Can you get basically one cable to plug in the S3 and it split to charge and aux? Like the ibolt cable does but just the cable and not the dock
