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

It looks and is great!
The price is awesome too.
I ''ll hit it!!!
It doesn't seem like they ship to US
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.
Hi,

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.

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?
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.

This looks like the one I had for my Touch Pro 2... it worked nicely and was cheaper than the official docks.
I am interested in your impressions as well.
thanks
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:
From an Amazon vendor:
$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.

HOX might look a little funny on it, but should fit.... anyone tried one?
How do these compare to the HTC official speaker dock? As they can be had for around £41 if they are similar in terms of sound quality it might be better to get the official one for the pogo pin charging?
Give me half an hour and I'll post up pictures and a short video :good:

It's fine, just remember it's not a dock so it won't sync with anything. It plays music via Bluetooth, has a night light as well and charges phone when connected to dock.
As it's Bluetooth you can connect any Bluetooth device and stream your music, it's loud and sounds good for a mono speaker. Better than on board speaker. I do have a video but my upload speed is poor!
The Philips app is useless so I just connect straight via Bluetooth. I use it at night to charge my phone and as an alarm clock.
For the price it is really good, I was surprised by the sound it produces.

Ive done a little video for YouTube - please dont think i'm stealing any thunder here as thats the last thing on my mind.
However i do want to say a massive thankyou to mugglesquop for revealing this in the first place.
This has the benefit over the other Speaker Dock 'cr s650' in so far as the Philips can bu used with a multitude of phones now and in the future - as long as they have the mini usb ports on them.
Where as only the HTC one X will work with the 650 because of the pogo pins placement and if you upgrade your phone in the future unless its got the exact same layout as the HTC one X then the 650 will be redundant - the Philips though should be better value as even if you upgrade in the future the chances of your new device having a mini usb is high (higher than having the perfect placement of pogo pins i reckon).
EDIT - on a side note when i dock my HTC onto the Philips i have to remove my phone case as the charging port in the Philips wont quite fit snuggly enough to charge.
Soooooo anyone know of any decent gel, silicone, other HTC one X cases that are very thin (but offer protection) that would allow a fit that is more flush with mini usb chargers - thus charging my phone.
I have a MHL adaptor for my TV and on this too i have to remove my phone case otherwise the USB wont fit into my phone quite right - Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks for any suggestions
Excellent video mate I was having troubles capturing the volume but it is loud.
As for case I use a Tourmate case from obostore and it fits with it on, it is similar to the Rock sand cases which are popular.
For the price it's a decent little driver.

Alright mate, quick question. Did you manage to get the dock extension (little plastic thing) to fit properly over the usb so it was flush? I just got mine today but for some reason the dock extension doesn't go down low enough so the phone won't plug in properly, seems to be getting stuck on the little cogs used to raise and lower the height adjusters, would you mine uploading a pic of it?
Cheers
Daven
@daven
The cogs have got to be wound all the way to the bottom - the little attachment will only fit on the usb section in one way i believe - it goes on about 3/4 of the way and the last bit needs to be pushed with a little force to snap it into place.
Ahh thanks, I got it after applying a bit of force. I was worried about breaking it. Nice youtube video, the dock is brilliant, I've found it to work really well with the sony smart connect app (which I also use for my nfc tags). I've set it up to automatically bluetooth connect to the dock and launch dock mode when the phone is docked, and then play music for an hour when I wake up in morning. Sound quality is surprisingly impressive for something so small.
How did you find the official app for it? I found it to be a bit too cumbersome, so just uninstalled it.
I've frozen songbird and Fidelio using titanium back up and i'm manually turning on bluetooth on the HTC one X and using Power AMP as my music player. :good:
I thought for the first day that i was tied to just using the Songbird/Fidelio combo so went with this. :silly:
Came home from work today and started up Power AMP instead and it works brilliantly, you can even change the graphic equaliser and the Philips Dock adjusts too - perhaps this is a feature of all docks,im not sure as this is my first
Im trying to set up something with 'Tasker' at the moment to get the most out of the Dock, though i have got NFC tags too so might have a play later and see what i can come up with
Just purchased one of the Rock Quicksand cases as its very thin but theres still no way it will dock properly to the speaker dock and charge, even after pushing fairly firmly it wont click in so instead ive removed the little plastic adapter that clicks on the USB and now my phone sits just nicely.
Incidentally i tried to sit the HTC One X onto the USB without its plastic adapter but leaving an ordinary gel case on the phone but that wouldnt work so my best bet is to use the Rock case and remove the plastic adapter off the speaker dock.

Hey folks, I was wondering if there is a case for the One that's slim enough to use it with the original HTC One CarKit. I'm using one from yayago which is called slim... But unfortunately not slim enough :-/.
I hate to have to choose between the use of the CarKit and the protection of my phone.... And I really don't want to put this beautiful phone in a sort of sock!
Any suggestions?!

I wanted the htc one car kit as well because I was spoiled by the pogo pin dock for my Galaxy Nexus. After several unfortunate accidents with my GNEX I have decided to keep my One in a thin silicone case (a blue one from Verizon store to match my Best Buy blue HTC One). I found a non-oem car cradle that will work with or without a case (no more than 1.6mm thick) and is easy to insert and remove phone. It is by encased. The car dock will put the phone into car mode when the charger is plugged in. The only disappointment was to discover that you had to plug a short "pigtail" micro-usb cable attached to the dock into the phone. You couldn't just slide the phone in and make the connection. I felt the product description was a little misleading. I bought in on Amazon for $25 which felt like a steal compared to most oem cradles. I cannot post links yet but it is called the HTC One M7 Car Mount Dock With Built In Car Charger - Windshield & Dashboard.
You guys should check out I-magnet. Ive used it w a phone as big as a note 2 and currently use it w my htc one. Works great w super easy on/off
