[Q] Home Dock Charger - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi there !
Recently I found myself charging my Cell phone mostly all the time close to the ground, scared it could fall
So after some research I am now looking for a dock charger. So far i spotted 2 that seams pretty interresting. I was wondering which one you guys were using. And does it work with a case ?
so far i spotted the - seidioonline.com/innodock-p/crjhnx1-bkc.htm
and the ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Multimedia-Desktop-Dock-Charger-T-Mobile-Galaxy-S-II-T989-Hercules-/320783293515?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab02c9c4b[/url]
anyone know if it works well with case also ?

i have the one on the first link and i wouldnt recommend a case the dock its almost made perfectly for the phone.

i'll suggest you this one instead

Thank you
Ok finaly, it's work with 2000 mah battery
After using quite a few mounts I think the Tetrax X-Way is the best by far.
Very easy to put your phone in place (it seriously just locks on) and is extremely easy to remove / use in a new car.
Also, it can hold a tablet... Think about the possibilities there
I particularly love the Dask Genie -- or whatever it goes by here in the States. (I bought mine from England BEFORE someone got the brighter idea to start marketing a similar model here!) I don't have a screenshot. It suctions onto the dask and uses sticky-tack to keep phone in place without any residue. I've used it on all kinds of terrains with great results. And I can remove my phone if I need to answer/make a call with only one hand.
Look it up.

Extra Battery

Hey guys so i got two 1900 mah batteries for my htc sensation about three months back. The battery life i get is a lot better than the stock one, but since i got one more extra battery left i dont know what to do with it. i was thinking of cutting a microusb cable up and connecting that extra battery with my phone by using a bigger case. What do you guys think ? Will it work or has anyone done some thing like this before ?? THANKS and im sorry if im posting this in the wrong section, i just joined.

Mugen 3000 mAh battery case available for order

Pre-order, that is
Here it is
At 89.50$ plus shipping it's a little steep, though. And I would have liked to have some images of the product rather than the phone. I know what the phone looks like already.
maybe an Image
you can check http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mugen-Power-Xperia-Compact-3000mAh/dp/B00RWR6XJG/
for the Pictures
Lol. With this case you can probably last 4-5 days with the z3c
Ridiculous price...$89.50
You can BUY n°5 10.000mah rapid charge external battery.......and you can use your z3c for 2 months.

Does anyone have this for their Z3 compact? Does it fit snugly and clip on properly?
Thats actually a really awesome idea with using the mag charging ports! if it were 50 bucks i would get one right now
I'd love to see this case in a video, just to get a good look at its proportions etc. It is pricey....but I'd probably just spend the cash on car parts anyway.....

OK. I lasted a whole 10 minutes. No will power. Bought one. I'll post back when I've got it in my hand and will post any pictures/answer any questions you guys might have ?
Ok, I have the charging case. If anyone is interested I am happy to answer questions/post photos etc.

You asked for it
1. I would like to see photos of the phone with and without the case lying on a flat surface, to get am idea of how thick it is.
2. When you use the case, does the phone think it's constantly being charged? What amount of days shows you ultrastamina mode?
3. How long does it take to charge fully?
4. Do you notice any overheating issues after using the case for some time?
Thanks, that's all I can think of at the moment

No worries, should be able to answer all that over time.
I can answer question 2 part a) right now.

The case has a button on the rear of the case to enable the charging process. When the case is deactivated the phone behaves as it would without the case. With the case activated it behaves as it would when sitting in a charging dock or with a magnetic charging cable attached.
The only 'downside' so far to the use of magnetic charging port is that when the case is activated the phone believes it is in a 'dock' and automatically answers phone calls with the loud speaker on.
But I have found mention of an xposed module that may rectify this automation, I will report back with a link when I have tested to confirm its effect.
I am studying all this week so give me a little while to fully answer all your questions, but I will answer them
Photos
Here are some photos that hopefully show the case and it's proportions well enough.
I'm no photographer by any means though haha.
Oh and ignore the metal dome stuck onto the back of it, that's for my car mount.
That looks so bad!
While it is awesome to have 5 days battery life, this is for special occasions only in my opinion.

oh I agree. I wanted it mainly as an alternative to carrying a separate power bank hanging off the phone via USB cable. At least this case attaches neatly to the phone and can still fit my pocket.
So yes, ugly, but highly practical.
I feel I should also mention the build quality is really very good, it feels very solid.
How many days and sot you've got with this battery ?

Well, given the info on their homepage it should last at least twice as long as your phone does now.
built in battery is 2600mAH, the mugen brings an additional 3000mAh. So I guess in Ultra-Stamina mode it basically lasts like an old Nokia? I was actually about ordering one for my upcoming transatlantic flight, but I just saw that they'll ship again in mid-June only
Well, I will receive the mugen battery in 10 days, I don't use ultra stamina but stamina is on all the time so I will see exactly the difference. Now I have between 8 and 10 hours sot, if I have between 16 and 20 hours sot, it's just great so I wait to see ?.

Any more impressions now that you've had it for a short while? I'm really temped to buy one too.. it's just one of those "good-to-have" things.
Also, do you charge it via micro usb, like the smartphone and how long does it take to charge the battery case completely?
Btw, do we already know the size of the Z4 Compact? it would be great if it worked on the upcoming model too..

So far so good! I do intend to put some more stats up from my usage I've just been flat out with university. Luckily that all wraps up next week!
Yep it just charges via the same cable as the phone.
The use of the magnetic charging port definitely makes the case much more useful. I had an epic ZeroLemon case for my note 3 with a built in extended battery and it such an ordeal to install and remove the phone from the case. This is a much better solution.
It's hard to measure the effect it has on predicted battery life because it charges via the magnetic charging port the phone recognises it as an AC charging source.
Once I have got some stats I might even make a little youtube review, maybe, don't want to get famous hahahaha.

Anyone Using a Charging Cradle

http://www.shopandroid.com/seidio-type-c-desktop-charging-cradle/6A39A24394.htm
Was considering getting one of these, but before I order, I'd like to know what you all are using if any and if they work as intended or not.
Thanks for the input.

I got this one. Works well. My only compliant would be that the phone does not easily come off the dock. You have to hold down the dock in order to pull the phone free of it.

That is what I was hoping not to hear, since I wake up and kinda blindly grab my phone. I suspect I would totally destroy the phone and/or case with that..
I miss wireless charging

all cradle does this, the USB clicks together with the phone.
I have one that I used for my G5, it will also work with the the V20, input is micro USB and output is type C, both charging and data transfer, cost me about USD 3.

Well, I've been searching for the past few days trying to find a charging dock from an at least somewhat reputable-looking company (read: no Chinese/wholesale docks from Amazon) but couldn't find anything until I happened upon this post! So I just ordered one of those from Amazon. Should be here early next week and I will try to give you my impressions of it, though I still don't have my V20 so I can't really test it out fully.
Did you get it cheaper than what androidcentral is selling them for? When is your V20 supposed to be coming in?

It came out to $30.90 on Android Central including shipping, which would take 7-11 days. On Amazon with Prime it's $31.95 so for the extra dollar I'd rather just get it in two days and not have to worry in case my phone decides to come, plus very easy returns in case it doesn't work or for some reason I just really don't like it.
I pre-ordered from B&H but still no word from them on when it will ship. Somebody on Reddit said he spoke to them on Live Chat a few days ago and they told him "soon after the 1st"... FWIW I spoke to somebody on Live Chat a few days ago too and they said they had no information to give me. However something I noticed is that the listing on the B&H site recently changed from "Expected Availability: November whatever whatever" to "Ship Date: Not Available". So I hope that means it's going to be shipping soon. I live right outside of NYC so usually anything I buy from them gets here next-day. Everybody who have their carrier-branded phones already are really making me impatient to get my hands on this thing.
Cool. I got my Verizon on Oct 21st and so far I'm loving it. Great phone!

Ok, just got my phone today. Same! This thing is pretty awesome. I'm really liking it so far. I shot off an email to Seidio at the beginning of the week asking them about the charging specs of the dock and if fast-charge would work through it... they never got back to me but when I put my phone in the dock today it said fast-charging was enabled! Kinda surprised to be honest but looks like it works. Only problem is the cable is bright white and the charger is like a dark matte black. Gonna have to look into buying a different cable.

I purchased this one. It works fine although I whish it was a little heavier so I wouldnt have to hold it down so hard when removing the phone from it. I do like the height adjustability of the connector so it works with different cases.

That's the one I got. The thing I especially love is that even though you do have to hold the dock down as you pull the phone off, the dock has plenty of area to press down on and the resistance of the phone unplugging is relative small. I had a dock for my Note 4 and first of all, the phone required quite a bit of force to pull off the charger, and second of all, the stand didn't really have much area to hold down on while pulling off the phone.
So coming from past experience, trust me, this dock is pretty nice despite the flaws. Lol

ZeroLemon 4700 mah Battery Case review

Hey everyone,
So I know there are a couple other reviews for this case but that's ok. I have been using mine for a bit now and last night after a lot of real life usage have put together a review. See how it held up in real life conditions!!! Feel free to ask any questions if you have any!!!
I know you weren't fussy about discussing the ZeroLemon in your other thread, but thought it may be better not to clutter that one up too much, so I replied here
markbencze said:
Nice. I'm still using mine. One thing I forgot to mention in the video that took me a bit to figure out was that when your phone battery is at 100% the battery case will turn off after a bit. It's not a bug though it's a feature. I mean it kinda makes sense right. Why waste power if it's at 100%. So when I'd look at my phone at times and see it's not charging and went down to like 96 or 97 I'd power the case back on and shortly thereafter it would go back up. Pretty clever feature actually.

Ah, ok. This will be my first ever extended battery attachment on any device so this will be interesting
Will the ZeroLemon turn on and start charging at "X%" of phone battery left, or do you manually turn the Zero on?

You have to manually turn it on. That would be pretty cool if it were that smart but it's not.
So I've been using my ZeroLemon since last Saturday now. While I enjoy the peace of mind of having more power available if needed, I'm not quite sure I need it to be honest I can get through the day just fine with the phone's built in battery.
Also, not quite sure I like the look of the carbon fiber appearance, but it's growing on me.
I always, and have to, use a belt clip/holster for my devices. And as such, there is no such thing available for the LG G7 with the Zero. So, I modified my existing belt clip/holster to fit it (heat guns are wonderful items )
Anyway, just my experience and not sure if I'll continue to use it, or toss it in the drawer for possible future use

I don't see how such a thing can be considered a case replacement to be taken with you to work, school or the coffee shop.
I see such a device as being for when you will be gone from civilization (Read: USB plugs) for a few days. I mean you can charge these phones with a laptop or any USB station in a lot of places, without needing the charger with you.

True, I'll go with you on that.
I suppose there are folks who don't want to worry about their battery dying during heavy usage and having to carry a charging cable and a means of charging it.
And then there are other folks like me who thought it looked pretty neat and wanted to try it
Hey thanks for the review. I've loved Zerolemon. Bought their extended life batteries for both my Note 3 and Galaxy S 3. Man those things were beastly!
Question, when it's charging on the phone how does that effect quick charge? Does it disable it until the case gets full then let it quick charge after the case is at 100%?
Random comment of the day from me listening to your voice made me laugh a little bit, not in a bad way of course, I knew from the long O's that you were either in the northern parts of the US or Canada. I've got family in Minnesota and Wisconsin and had a few online XBL friends from Canada. It's really funny when I start to combine my familys' Southern and Northern accent that I start picking up both. ADHD for the win!
Delete, I found a home for it
