Hi,
I am looking for a good Docking station for my SGS2. Any recommendations to buy in Germany? I live in Germany. The stores has the original from Samsung which costs 49Euros.
thx
I have the original one and it's really awesome. The only negative thing is that it can't sync files to your pc. But I use it as a charger / night clock. And it keeps the phone at a perfect viewing angle
Two questions:
Is there a little space left in the original dock, as i use a case which takes some additional space, 2mm on each side i guess.
And concerning syncing: Can´t you connect your device via dock at all or is there only a problem syncing it by Kies?
@TE: You can find the Original Samsung dock at mobilfun.de, I´m not allowed yet to post the link, quite a bit cheaper there and lots of other docks.

Nope, it will not fit with a case on
Can be found cheaper online that retail, like most things - but I highly recommend the official charging dock station and passive sound station dock.

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!
Thx
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.....
Do ya want to get rid of yours by any chance...?
price and non sync ability is such a turn off....

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.
Does anyone know if the phone fits to this desktop charger with the 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.
Shame thing it does not support usb connection

May we hope in some fix on the phone os to enable sync functionality?
Will having the S2 attached to the official dock all the time when being at home affect battery life?
Feel like spamming every dock thread with this question.

I think we must open this dock and cut shorted pins in micro usb plug.
Shorted pins make phone thinking that's an accesory, not USB cable...
Hey guys, I got an official S2 dock, very nice but what a shame, it doesn't sync!!!!!
Anyone has tried something like this??

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?
I just came across this on E-bay, this may answer some problems with docks and creating a bespoke soloution for usb mas-storage/hdmi for thoes with a technical background or just provide a better looking unit for thoes that don't. I have ordered one and will post a feedback on how well it works/build and it it fits the book-case!

The dock is basically useless, it des not even have its own connectivity, only space for a data cable. Useless.

40$ for a simple stand? Seems a bit pricey.
(For that money you can almost combine the 7" HDMI and the 10.1" useless dock into a pretty useful "10.1 HDMI dock".)
Im not looking at is a finished product to be honest, Im looking at it as a basis to go with some custom leads that Im making to allow USB mass storage access, charging and HDMI output in a one. And the stock Samsung one does not allow for much space to do this.
Hi,
I'm interested in your ways to store your phone at work or at home -- what kind of phone holders do you use? Right now my phone is lying on my desktop, so I'm looking for a good alternative.
I don't really like docking stations because I don't want to charge my phone all over the day. Or is there a docking station where I can store the phone without charching it?
Regards,
Aryana
lots of options out there, I personally use this awesome little guy, its called: spiderpodium

Mine simply lies on my mousepad (it's big enough), but if you like stands here you have some:

I think that the first one have nice minimalistic look and should be good.
Docking stations exist mostly because they give you possibility to use your device without worrying about battery drain. But when you don't want to charge your phone while docking (I don't know why though) during the day you can simply use your dock unplugged, and plug it in only for the night

You dont need to have the docking station on charge, just pull the wire out during the day and then back in when you need charge.
I brought a docking station of ebay. Works well with stock roms.

Why not just dedicate a specific spot on your desk for it?
Use an old mousepad like the one gent posted. Trim it so it's just larger than the Note and bam.
Cheap dedicated spot for the Note.
And to answer the initial question, my Note is in one of 3 places during the day:
At the computer, it's on the desk.
Out and about, it's in my front right pocket.
At work, it's in my rear left pocket.
I use an old Car cradle.
Mind you it is easier for me as I have a glass desk
I use the original note dock
My note never leave's my hand. So I always know its safe and always know where it is...

Would be sweet!.....if they cut that price in half.
nothing on samsung usa
I'm sure it'll hit Samsung USA within a month.
Hopefully this is a sign that the freakin multimedia car dock will be released soon as well.

if this is anything like the desktop dock they have now in terms of design be prepared for broken usb port. happened to mine. the usb is the only thing holding it from moving front back/side to side. its not made specifically for any model just the galaxy family in general. such garbage coming from samsung.

You have a point.
There is a workaround.
For example, with my S3 I have a slim case.
I bought an Ibolt car dock and a KiDiGi desktop....both with provisions to accommodate with/without a slim case specifically made for an S3.
YET...still, the fit was loose on the desktop and though tight on the Car dock, the grooves were too deep allowing too much screen to be obscured.
THE WORKAROUND...I sliced up some black super high density foam and created a BED inside the grooves of the docking stations so that it would be a much tighter and safer fit. Works perfect and hardly visible. (black on black) I simply glued the foam to the docks.
In my head, my imagination and I have designed docking stations with an adjustable base/sides that you SCREW SET into place according to the case that you are using for your S3. Is this such a hard thing to implement? Doubt it. Some of the Proclip car docks have a hint of this type of adjustability.
The price of this is way out of what it should be it's nothing new or special it's just eh dock with extended features I know its Samsung so you pay a premium price and it would match your device color but you would really have to want it to be a Samsung one at that price.
I mean conversion wise Euros are pretty much a straight conversion to GBP so let square it £90 for a dock that has OTG support and MHL that's just crazy.
Here is a link for all those interested: http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/...nes/EDD-S20EWEGSTD?subsubtype=docking-station
Careful, your post makes it seem like the US item is equivalent to the German item you also show. But the US dock is the regular one without HDMI and USB Host access.
Generally - it seems that most companies match the foreign purchase price in euros - to dollars when it eventually arrives in the US. In other words, when it gets released on the US website - I'd expect it to be around $80. I could be wrong, but I'm waiting to see if it arrives soon.

sir, you are confused.
the "american link" is NOT the same device at all. it does not have OTG, nor does it have HDMI
your american link: charges, syncs, 3.5mm audio
the german link: charges, may sync, 3.5mm audio, HDMI out, USB host (for keyboards mouse, etc.)
HUGE difference.

Yeah...I just saw this dock the other day. It just hit the internet. Thanks for also showing the American link version. Black too. $50usd is not that bad really. Considering the wiring and outputs, it's priced ok in N.A. It is a generic solution...but I would simply compliment it with my foam trick from my previous post. You know, with the foam, you end up with a darn tight fit and a soft landing pad as a bonus.
UPDATE: oh...scarrmrcc and P0ll0L0c0 point out that it's not the same unit. Too bad. Don't feel bad. We all make mistakes.
You should edit your post accordingly.

http://www.uk-mobilestore.co.uk/pro...y-S3-Multimedia-Dockingstation-%2d-White.html
so, it is moving slowly in the direction of the US
in Germany, it costs €80....
http://www.samsung.com/de/consumer/...nes/EDD-S20EWEGSTD?subsubtype=docking-station
I want to have this but ain't willing to pay such price...€30 to €40 cheaper should be ok...but the proud €80 is outrageous!!
I hope I can find similar cheaper products (copies) in amazon or ebay very soon.
Post edited sorry guys for the confusion I don;t know why that's called a multimedia dock as well?
I am holding on to my 50% off coupon code for this dock. I feel it combines allshare (when on ROMs with wired) and OTG capabilities. If I buy allshare, I might not be able to use AOSP roms.

samsung uses the term multimedia pretty darn loosely...
the US link gives 2 media: usb storage (as in it allows you to access the phone's memory) and audio. so tecnically, it is multimedia.. but I feel that is cheating.
the german one at the beginning of the thread, has one major difference in nomenclature: it is a docking station (unlike the the other, which is just a dock). as a docking station is it gives USB (storage. and access), HTMI out, OTG, audio.. the whole thing. (and uses the "smart mote" triggered by a 40.2kOHM resistor).
they deliberately make people think the items are more than they are...
Finally! Has anyone found a blue version available for pre-order?
HELP!!! Can the multimedia dock be compatible with other android+mhl+otg phones?
Hi, Can someone please tell me if the multimedia dock can be used with other android phones with MHL and OTG capability? For example the Zte V985 has a micro usb port and supports full MHL + OTG and is also android 4.0.4 so theoretically it should also work with the samsung multimedia dock?
Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has bought or found a device specific desktop synchronization cradle for the ZL.
I bought my ZL a couple of weeks ago and was suprised to find the usual places like ebay and amazon don't appear to sell one.
I would be really greatful if anyone out there has found one and share the link or point me in the right direction.

I use Breffo SpiderPodium & angled microUSB cable with mine. Not device-specific, but works really well. Can't really see what dedicated dock could give on top (at least as long as it will be just usual USB dock).
