Just received my Dual charging dock from MobileFun (been waiting for stock) and I have to say that it's bloody brilliant. It has a slot in the rear for charging a spare battery and the dock for the phone is a perfect fit with the USB connector sliding in with a nice satisfying click. It comes with two cables, USB and mains for charging/sync'ing the phone and charging the spare battery (not supplied) at the same time.
To top it off, it looks damned smart with the phone sat in it.
Search for product reference 29886 on the MobileFun site. I doubt they'll have stock for long.
hmm
i just ordered two of those from mugen. Good to hear
Can I ask you a question please? My charger is not working anymore - No idea why lol but my mobile can charge through the usb cable but not through the charger. Probably something is wrong with the charger. When i tried to buy a charger from clove, they said that they don t have stock from sammy yet. I was interested in this dock but i only thought that the spare battery can be charged.
Can you confirm whether the cables that come with this dock can charge my device? I really would like to charge my phone through the main rather from the usb because it takes ages to charge from the usb cable! Thanks!
The dock comes with two cables; a standard micro-USB cable and a 'power only' USB cable with mains adaptor. Both get plugged into the dock, one charges & syncs the phone whilst the other powers the auxiliary battery socket. You can use the cables independently of the dock.
Thank you for your help! =)
Hey major, what is that clock and weather wideget you used? Looks very good on the home screen.
Btw, just wondering if there is a dock that comes with the HDMI port (with the MHL adapter built-in). Or can I plug the MHL adapter to this Mobilefun dock and be able to output thru HDMI while the phone is docked?

Don't see why the MHL adaptor wouldn't just plug in to the back of the dock. I'm gonna take a guess and say that it should work
Hi, hope someone knows the answer to this:
The KiDiGi dock allows for data hot sync, does that mean I can hook up the MHL cable to it then to my TV? or that is not gonna work?

It says in the features on that page MHL supported so it would seem so. How much have you seen this dock for?

This one looks even better: http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1317
It's similar but this is a cradle with builtin MHL. It takes a USB connection for power (I don't know if a computer-connected USB cable would provide enough juice for MHL?) and has a regular HDMI output. So if you want to replicate your phone output on the TV, just dock it and off you go - no tangle of wires if it's setup correctly I'd guess.
These are also available here for £17.99
Does anybody know anything about these or the company that makes them? They are almost cheap enough to give it a punt ...

Still dunno about the product but I want to warn people about some uncomplimentary reviews being posted about the supplier - nicecans - I mention above: linky
I bought these on ebay. The HDMI is short but worked but when I connect both cables to lapdock, the USB is not being recognized so the keyboard/mouse is not working. I want this just to act as an extension so I can use full lapdock abilities with cables. Any idea what's going on (cable charges on plug but does not charge on lapdock)? Maybe someone has better usb cables.

From your title I've been looking for these (or similar) cables for a long time and have been unsuccessful. However I have yet to try them.

i don't think it will work either way, tried a few things like this with no avail.
why wouldn't they? Cheap build quality that doesn't include the data wires? Hell I'll be willing to splice two cables together to get our desired effect, the only problem is that cords with a female micro usb are incredibly hard to come by
So that is what you think it is? No data on the usb cables.

the only reason that is my suspicion is because there are many "charging" products out there that don't really need data. Why there would be a need for such a small charging extension cable is beyond me, but it's the only solution I can think of, but I have no way of confirming or denying it either. The ebay descriptions seem to imply that the data wires are there, but we all know how reliable ebay can be...
Another idea I had was that it might be sensing the resistance in the cable, since, if I remember correctly, that was how some think/though the car dock puts the atrix into car mode without a magnet as is/was commonly used. Again these are just ideas.
Or the cable is just so poorly made that it's defective...I honestly have no clue
Has anyone got full lapdock capabilities using extension cables? I can only get the screen working and not the mouse and keyboard.
The HDMI extender was the hard one to find. There are other micro USB extenders out there, theoretically with all wires connected....

Kind of makes me wish i hadn't hacked up my lapdock to work with the Otterbox
Where did you get your HDMI extender? I got mine from All4Cellular but it's quite short. Will have to get another HDMI one if the usb cable you recommended works.

before I read that post, I was looking around the forums and the web yesterday well into the night. here are some of the things I've found that might be relevant to everyone (and it might possibly be cheaper, though more diy).
Micro USB stuff:
I have no idea why this exists http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-...r-cable-for-blackberry-9900-black-30cm-107901

http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Female-M...YPB4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329854686&sr=8-2
then the hdmi cable that came with our phone:

The HDMI certainly looks like it may work but the reason I didn't buy that product from ebay a few weeks ago was because it was $50. Now miraculously, it's only $6. Maybe I'll get that if the USB cable I just bought that was suggested works a few posts back.

This micro usb extension cord explicitly states that all 5 wires are connected (compatible with droid bionic for the purpose of docking with a case on the phone):

The HDMI cable seems to work. On the lapdock, with just the HDMI cable hooked up, it functions like it was it's an entertainment center.
The USB cord will need to be modified a little bit. I can't get it to seat right on the USB jack of the dock. I'll need to shave it down a bit as it doesn't sit down snugly.

I ordered the USB cable and experience this same problem, though I am waiting for my hdmi parts to come in (by April 6th I should have all my parts...). The cable itself works flawlessly as a micro usb extension cable when connecting it to the computer.
again as mentioned in the other thread, you want to be careful with the 5v coming out that micro hdmi port. for connecting back to your phone would be no issue, as the phone charges using this voltage, but hooking the lapdocks micro usb up to a host device probably wont appreciate the 5v coming back up the cable, where normally the usb device would be pulling power from said host, not providing it.
one suggestion is to just clip the red wire inside your micro usb cable/adapter.
btw the adapters i use do fit snugly side by side, without modification.
I've been following this thread for a little while now, and I wanted to share something I found.
I was looking at the Motorola Travel Webtop adapter. And I was curious to see whether it could be tweaked to suite our needs. I naively thought/hoped that I could flip the connectors in the device to make a small adapter to connect the Atrix to newer Lapdocks. Unfortunately as you can see in the pictures below (sorry not enough posts to link to the pictures) the two connectors are connected via a PCB not wires or a ribbon cable. Although I still have high hopes that I can de-solder the HDMI and USB connectors, and use a small length of flat ribbon cable to connect them and then re-positions the connectors in the case, to build a micro adapter to use the Atrix on the newer Lapdocks. Should this fail this will at least prevent others from making the same mistake, and solve the mystery of what's really inside the Webtop Travel adapter.
Do any one know if this Micro HDMI Cable would work for Lapdock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Feet-HDMI...s_Adapters&hash=item416612cecb#ht_1149wt_1187
Description says for Asus tf201 MEMO ME171.
I believe all Cables are standard. Can this used to Atrix 4g with Lapdock?
I have otterbox case for Atrix and don't want to Remove cover everytime to plug in Lapdock.
I tried going through the forum and couldnt find the answer.
i want to get a dock for the s3/Note2, since they both use the same 11 pin setup, not many have the HDMI output port, in fact ive only seen one. anyways want to get a dock, if the back is a micro usb charging port...can i put the MHL adapter in there, connect the charger and hdmi cable to that? it does charge the device at the same time right?
example is this dock

thanks guys!
I noticed that the Note 2 has a Smart dock with HDMI out and 3 usb ports, does anything like this exist for the "One"
Here is the one I am talking about for Samsung from Samsung:

I just bought a dock, andan MHL adapter off ebay. I already have an alarm clock with a micro-usb dock by my bed for charging, so I was going to use these to make a multimedia dock for my TV. You can power the MHL adapter so that it draws less power from the phone, but as far as I know it can't actually charge the phone.
Since my account is new, I can't post links, here are the item IDs for the ebay items:
dock: 390581350505
MHL adapter: 161009409501

Nothing quite like that dock, and I doubt it will be possible to have a dock like that with the One given I believe it uses a standard 5-pin MHL configurations, whereas the S3/Note 2 and S4 all use an 11-pin configuration (that Samsung specifically added to allow simultaneous USB OTG and MHL).
anything new about this? has anyone found some usb hub that has micro usb and normal usb out, so you could connect mhl to microusb, and lets say mouse and keyboard to other 2 usb ports.
