It does have a built-in speaker apparently... and puts the phone in vehicle mode for the screen to stay on... although that's just shorting two pins I think.
I am impressed with the Spare Battery Charging Kit. It comes with a battery, charger, and micro-USB wall charger. It that's really $50, I'm getting it.
Then again those may all be list prices... and hopefully Amazon and Best Buy may be cheaper.

Charger for the car?

Hey everyone,
I'm planning on buying a car charger for my phone soon as I take a lot of road trips and now that I finally have a phone with navigation I thought this would be really handy to have.
My question is: What is the best cell phone charger? What should I be looking for? I hear that some chargers can burn out the battery if left in for too long.
Also, I'd like a charger that would be able to power my ipod as well.
Thanks!
Edit:
I was browsing around and saw this one:

Look in the captivate general thread for this discussion ...
Why would this be in general? this is an accessory is it not..?
the only thing I can say about that is ...

The answer your question is there regardless.
The answer to your question is a bit more involved than yes or no, and involves USB standards.
Perhaps it should be moved ... not my call to make.
i just bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230503161988
for $8 not bad
I got mine free from Wal-mart when I bought my captivate and it does a good job of charging it.

Got this same exact one and a blackberry micro usb charger. Works great.
For the love of God don't cheap out... Been there, done that, don't waste the $$$.
Cables that work for $1.70:

A quality Griffin charger for $11.50:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Q2FM5E/ref=oss_product
You haven't by chance verified that the $1.70 cable fits well in the Captivate slot?
I only ask because I have a mini-to-micro USB adapter I'm using with a mini USB cable right now and it appears to fit in fine. Unfortunately in reality the plastic around the male piece blocks it from slotting in fully and I have to fiddle with it to ensure it's in well enough to charge. Moving the phone in the slightest can dislodge it and sever the connection.
I'd like to buy this cable to work with my current home/car USB chargers but wanted to make sure it wouldn't have the same issue.

Moving the phone around won't cause it to come out.

It's not the over charging that's the problem, it's the functioning
AT&T not as good as Samsung
I bought the AT&T branded Captivate car charger at the AT&T store, but I've noticed that it doesn't fit into the phone's slot as smoothly as the wall charger that came with the phone. Because of battery power decrease problems, I've just ordered another wall charger from the Samsung website (for use at work) instead of getting a 'generic' one from AT&T.

I looked at this baby in an AT&T corporate store after popping open the package. There is no indication whatsoever about the mA. Forget asking a store clerk. They look at you like a deer in headlights.

I've got a griffin powerjolt dual ... works like a champ. I do not believe that it is a rapid charger and that it only puts out the USB2 standard 500mA per port. I personally do not like rapid chargers as I've seen problems with them in the past ... but ymmv.

Charging Requirements

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.

Bargain Bin - what extreme deals have you found?

Official Samsung accessories bought at your local phone shop are pretty damn pricey. Unless you've got money to burn, there's always better ways to get often exactly the same stuff.
I thought this would be a good thread to share how to get good deals on things...
Chargers, cables, cases, docks, mounts, bluetooth, whatever.
No low-quality garbage, I'm talking about legitimate bang-for-the-buck stuff.
I'll start on chargers and cables - a few deals found at Amazon:
Official Samsung USB cable - normally $19.99. Amazon has it for $1.82 with free shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XXUOQI
I bought one - it's genuine Samsung, just like your stock shortie.
Official Samsung car charger/cable - normally $19.99 or more. Amazon has it for $5.82:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UB279A
I bought this too - also genuine Samsung.
The best for last - probably the best deal I've found so far-
Official Samsung wall charger + USB cable. Normally $29.99, Amazon has it for $3.28 including free shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049IE70I
I bought one of these too to have a charger at the office - also genuine Samsung.
Hate that your USB cable is too short? Doesn't reach from your wall plug to your nightstand or dresser? Extend it by 6 feet - $2.17 and free shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00182CIB8
I bought one of these too - not genuine Samsung, but does the job nicely.
All this stuff cost me about $13 grand total, including taxes and shipping.
What deals do you know of?
Also, from this thread: (there's a video review)
The best price you can find for the epic touch specific windshield mount is $39.99.
The Samsung Infuse windshield mount fits our phone perfectly, it's the same form factor, and you can take advantage of a carrier that isn't even yours:

...the current price at AT&T online is $17.99 +tax, free 2 day shipping.

And, there's a discount code you can use on top of that:
1lazysheep said:
i googled for promo codes and found this link. you have to click through to get the 25% off. ends up being only $13.49 for just the car dock with free shipping.

Or, if you buy it from the AT&T store in person, you can pick up a desktop dock for one cent as a bundle deal with the windshield mount:
imdbui said:
Just went to the AT&T store to pick up an Infuse car dock... rang up as $17.50. The sales guy tried to sell me the desktop dock as well. I asked how much it was, so he scanned it and it rang up for $0.01. There's a bundled discount when you buy both together. So I paid $17.51 total for the car dock and desktop dock.
thanks for the tip OP, car dock works great! Desktop dock is a little snug, but it fits.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you look at that thread, you can see a video review of the windshield mount, and see how you can modify the desktop dock since that one is apparently a little snug with our phones... but for $0.01, I'll take it and modify it, or live with it snug.
I found this 16GB Class 2 Samsung Micro SD card for 14.99 w free shipping on this website: http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
But it's only available for a limited time.
I went to local ATT store today, 50% off car dock, but no bundle deal (and only 25% off) on the desktop dock...as said above, would shave down desktop dock, but not for $30!
D700 (original epic) charger also works for our batteries, doubles as a desktop stand
$12.99 + Free Shipping:

2x Anker Battery Sprint Samsung SPH-d700 Epic 4G + Chgr 1800mAh (about 1750mAh each in reality)
$17.99 + Free Shipping:
EBAY http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Anker-Ba...628805?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf9648485
That's a great deal on those batteries, but I wish the charger was a more intelligent charger. I wish I could have one of those at work and one at home, so I could have an extra battery on the ready, without having to worry about how long it's charged and whether I'd unplugged it.
Do you say 1750 because you notice less time than the stock battery?
Edit:
I found this on Amazon - anyone know anything about Hyperion? These are 1800mAh batteries, plus a smart charger, and batteries that themselves have some overcharge protection built in...
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Spri..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1319850493&sr=1-11
That seems like a solution to let you have a battery on the charger at work, and/or a battery on a charger at home, with the charger doing the work of controlling the charge to prevent overcharge.
Sweet - IF Hyperion batteries are what they say they are.
Anyone?
infuse car dock which works perfect with the et4g is like 18 dollars, and the home dock rings up for a .01.

No, I don't see any time difference between the OEM and the the Anker 1800mAh batteries in run time, but my batteries never get near to running out by the end of the day. These Anker batteries are well reviewed by the original Galaxy S owners and have been tested to be about 1750mAh. They are the only after-market batteries that I know of that come anywhere close to their claimed capacity.
If you want a good charger for our batteries, anything for the OG Epic, Captivate, Vibrant, i9100, etc will work...

For reference, in my local store it didn't work when they scanned the car dock, then the desk dock, but when they scanned the desk dock then the car dock, the desk dock came up for $.50 (car dock was $17.01).
So for those who don't get the expected deal, it's worth asking them to scan in a different order, as different locations have produced different results.
The desk dock comes with a charger. The car dock doesn't.
Bump...
Let's keep this thread alive... any contributions welcome to help your fellow Epic 4G brothers and sisters find the biggest bang for the buck.
i bought one of those samsung official car chargers, and within a few days it stopped working, got a replacement and it did the same. Went with one of the lighter to usb port adapters then a regular samsung usb cable and that seems to be working fine. I have had zero problems with the usb cables though.
Under $3.00

I got the Xtreme Guards full body protector from Ebay. I actually had to go back and change it to a full body instead of just screen as I was typing this. haha
For under $4 the full body protector seems like a steal. For under $1.50 the screen protector seems like they're giving them away.
Though, I will say I've heard mixed reviews.

Tough Case Deal
Still waiting on mine (they expect stock after the 29th):
http://www.theaccessoryking.com/cas...epic-touch-4g-case-mate-tough-case-black.html
These cases must be decent, since most places seem to run out. But if you have to wait, you may as well wait for the best price.
Sam Snug,
Do you think that this really offers twice the protection (and sincethe cost but it is only $10 or so more, cigarettes nowadays...) over the tpu-cases offerings? Also, what kind of added bulk as well as "ease of use" issues does it have. Meaning, does it slide in and out of the pocket easily, come on/off easily and withstand on/off often without stretching?
I have a number of stock batteries that I rather change out than charge my phone. I use a stand/charger (samsung brand) and rarely plug my phone in to charge. So the case withstanding these multiple switch out moves is necessary. Simply put, for the protection (I have dropped my phone many times with the tpu case from 2-4 feet and just light scuffing. My phone with a steinheil screen protector could go in a box and be sold as new... I strongly suggest this combo, as these phones DO NOT do well in drops. Sure the screen may survive drops well, but the edges of the phone get gnarly and nasty. My first one was pretty beat up after about 5 or 6 drops (glad it malfunctioned and I got a new one for free really!) and my new one, had this treatment of case/screen protector within 24 hours of taking out of package.
Hope this helps someone....
JC

I can't really say, given that I have yet to receive my order, but there are many good comments about this case around the internet, including in this forum. You can search (Google & XDA) for the terms:
Tough Case Case Mate CM017002
If you add 'reviews' to the search terms and you'll find several video reviews.
At the present, I do have the combo you speak of (TPU and Steinheil). However, I prefer a greater degree of protection so that I don't have to treat it with 'kit gloves'. The TPU case doesn't provide that, IMO. All that I've read leads me to believe that the Tough Case will. We'll see. I'll report back to this thread after I've received it (likely the beginning of Dec.)
Also, what kind of added bulk as well as "ease of use" issues does it have. Meaning, does it slide in and out of the pocket easily, come on/off easily and withstand on/off often without stretching?

I'm not sure how Tough Case will stand up under frequent removal, or how easy it might be to get on and off. As earlier mentioned, I'll know more after I have it in hand. I'll be keeping the Steinheil on.

External battery charger?

Does anyone have a link to one compatible with the battery for the Verizon Nexus? I have an OEM extended battery, but I wanted to be able to charge my standard battery in case I need it. Anyone have any suggestions?
you mean something like this.
this one is for samsung batteries, and will fit most sizes with the adjustable slider, i'm using it for my Galaxy nexus, i'm sure if the pins are right the verizon battery should work too.
it comes in a package with a 1450mAh battery and comes free when I purchased the Gnex
this one on ebay should be ok, works with any battery, adjustable pins and slider for different battery size.

the one on ebay is a safe bet, works with any brand of batteries and has a USB for phone charging, but i'm sure the USB isn't powerfull enough, should be the usual 5V 500ma.
if you're not in a rush, i'm in china from 7-8, ill check them out for some better quality ones, and report back, as the ebay one is just a very cheap one in comparision to those that i've seen in china before.

Are you referring to Part#: SAMI405BOC? Verizon's (US) site states not compatible with the SGN but i'm sure it's the right one. There is even a review about it with the SGN. I had to switch my device to the Samsung Stratusphere to add it to my cart.
Might as well get the one that Verizon sells to ensure nothing goes wrong. I got it and enjoy it...very useful with phones like this. It comes with an extra battery, the external charger itself, and a splitter so you can charge your phone at the same time.

sorry it's kinda late, the yoobao is a more realiable brand, and getting one of these will work for all batteries.
I have the battery charger Verizon sells. It's awesome. Charges regular and extended batteries with no issues. I got it for $25.00 online through my account with discount and free shipping. Came with a spare stock battery, so now I have 3 (I have 2 GNexus's).

YB307 cost USD 7.20
DC-IT007 cost USD 5.50
both can use for any phone battery, any brand, so you dont need to buy a desktop charger for every phone.
YB307 also has a USB socket to charge your phone or any USB device, connects direct to the mains through a 2 flat pin plug.
DC-IT007 connects to power through a nokia mini pin connector/microUSB/miniUSB, so you can charge using your PC or mains socket.

If any of you guys used any of these, what is your experience with it? Also if you could provide info on whether or not the Nexus 5 will stick on there until a certain angle or will it slip right off even if you move the charger around. Asking this because i'll be using it in the car also.
Thanks
I have the Lugulake one. It's good, works well, charges the phone in a very similar time to the wall charger and has a decent grip on the phone, not sure how good it'd be in car tho. But.... I also want one of these which I'll be ordering soon for the car -

I have two Lugulakes and they work great. Just to say the unit never gets hot nor does the phone. Good portable device.

I also have the Lugulake and I'm quite happy with it.
I think both of those devices are available on Amazon and for under $50. I'm thinking of getting the first one. Vent mount and I can use my SGS3 with it.

I have one I got on ebay that is 10,000mah and looks identical to the first link. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141047804367) It cost $37 (looks like the price dropped a little since) and so far I'm very happy with it, though I've only used it a bit when traveling. It does take a while to charge since 10,000mah on a 1A charger is 10hrs. I haven't really carefully tested its functionality though. I wonder if its current discharge limit is lower than it says, though, since I noticed when I had my n5 plugged into it the 2.1A port and under heavy use (games) the phone battery didnt charge, it only discharged slower... I'll have to test more.
