I want a dock with pogo pins, but the original samsung dock is too expensive in my opinion. I mean... there is almost nothing inside and they want >40€
So are there any docks with pogo pins, which are not from samsung? Our chinese friends are known for cloning these kind of products, but lower price.
I am monitoring this thread...
BOOM.
I'm wondering why there haven't been more. Perhaps because the GN isn't as popular a device as other manufacturer's halo products?
I sure would love to give someone my money for building an adjustable dock that can accommodate my small TPU case while still connecting to the pogo plugs.
Not yet. Seeing how even Samsung and Google can't get it right after 6 months, I wouldn't hold my breath. Build your own, you'll save money and feel accomplished.
You would have better luck with this and this

I use the Zenis dock which accepts most (but not all) cases as well (SGP Capsule for sure, as you can see below).
Looks great, works fine, very reasonable price. Happy with
Some images here.
I've been looking for a dock myself too. I want one that has an audio out via usb, the only SGS2 dock that has that is the genuine samsung desktop dock.
If you don't need a audio out via usb the most elegant solution is the Zenis dock mentioned before I guess. You can adjust it to fit the phone with or without the case unlike the genuine dock that you can only use without a case.
the dock looks good, indeed better than oem from sammy
This looks really nice to have. I'm in sales and drive around all day long. Having a mount like this that will also charge would be great to have. Anyone have one, gonna get one or have previous experience with a different phone?

Some are talking about it in the car holder post .

thanks JJ. I need to learn how to use this forum better! lol
I'm also currently looking at getting the active holder for the S3, currently have one for the HTC HD2 and it's been fantastic, much better than any of the vent mounts and windscreen mounts I've tried over the years!
However, my wife has just upgraded to the HTC One S, so I got the Brodit Active Holder for that phone and I'm just in the progress of sending it back! It is a poor fit for the phone and very difficult to align up the usb into the phone, possibly due to the usb being on the side of the phone. I don't have that problem with my HD2 with the usb being on the bottom and hopefully not with my new Galaxy S3 when it arrives!
I'll buy the fixed mount version if it works with a slim TPU case.

If it's anything like the one Brodit made for the HTC Desire HD, it's a perfect fit so it doesn't leave any room for a case. I loved it for the DHD but I think a really need a case for the S3, so I'm looking for something different this time.

Yeah, what Brodit/Proclip USA generally do is make perfect fitting holders leaving little to no room for cases. However, in very popular devices (iStuff for example) they make different variants suitable for different sized cases. Hopefully the GS3 will fall into this category in a couple months when it's in full force globally.
--edit-- just checked proclipusa and it appears they only make multiple designs for iDevices. Even the SGSII was a one design case. Hopefully all variants of the SGSIII will be the same dimensions and they will realize there is a market for a holder for this device with TPU and or other slim cases. But, I think your best bet would be a dremel lol.
Is The only way to get one of these right now form the UK? doesn't show a clip available for any of my vehicles.
You can check at Brodit's website who are the distributors in your country. Also, I don't think it's actually out yet, even in the UK.
Brodit S3 holder resistor?
Hello, I'm using my S3 really often in the car. I've made me a cable with the resistor to automatically activate car mode and enable full charging (bridge from USB Data+ to USB Data-) :good:
Now I found this really nice active car holder from brodit and want to know whether these mods are there, too? Or if there is any possibility to add them?
nice car holder for s3 with skin
This is what I have been after brodit holder for s3 with case on. http://brodit.se/product.html?id=512409&pn=prod&brand=Samsung&model=Galaxy S III i9300 hhopefully available soon.
I have the brodit active mount, although it was originally for an iphone 3gs, i just modified it slightly to fit my gs3.
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------
I will post up the quick guide I have written and the photos when I have 10 posts. It was fairly easy to do, and the main reason I modded the iphone one is because A) I already had it and B) as far as im aware brodit dont make a dock which is adjustable to fit phones with cases for the gs3, whereas they did/do for the iphone.
Will post the guide when I have permission.

Now have 10 posts, and posted it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859551
Hope its of use.
I have a few of my users (yes IT manager here) asking if there is a physical keyboard for the s3 that is integrated with a case. They want the equivalent of this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Sliding-Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone/dp/B0054KMWF2/ref=sr_1_3
They all know that any bluetooth or keyboard can work with it, they just wanted an integrated version as they prefer a bulkier s3 vs separate items.
I've looked around a bit and couldn't find anything, does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or perhaps know a company that is making one now?
Thanks!
There are none :/

I think there are..but no idea how you would get one.
http://www.ele-boat.com/Details.asp?ID=1
I've often wanted something like this when I need to answer a bunch of emails when I'm out and about. There are a bunch for iphones, but I've yet to see one to fit an Android device. It seems like if any phone would get one, the GSIII might. I've also wondered why nobody can seem to make the slider keyboard with an interchangeable TPU case to fit different models.

Wow I sent a email a keyboard for this would be perfect
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
On eBay I came across this,
it's not really fit like the slider you mentioned though.
You know why you can't find one?
because it would make the camera useless, and severely diminish the speaker.
no-one has made a small enough keyboard to not cover them. the closest anyone has gotten is that computer generated render, in the previous posts that is not for sale.
it WILL happen.. just wait.

That's neat, but i wonder if the "hinge" can hold itself up
---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------
maybe someone needs to make a Gameklip-style thing, but for holding these micro-bluetooth keyboards (patent pending )
What would seem more practical and allow use of everything is the keyboard folding down. When it is closed laying against the screen with a flap or something separating keyboard and screen. You works have a full keyboard and since Bluetooth the keyboard could be used with other phone with the same case. Any case makers watching here... do it live. I've thought about it for over a year. I also have a good idea for amplifying phone speakers with battery any bulk. It works to made myself one.

It probably will (the hinge) hold, got a case from ebay and it was daaamn tight, surprisingly, it is still holding pretty good.

Like these?... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...kw=galaxy+s3+keyboard+case&_sacat=0&_from=R40
The only concern I'd have about these is that they seem to just have a "soft" hinge (ie. just the material), so it probably wouldn't support itself. Something like this would be great though if it was a hard case (think Nintendo DS), as it would protect the screen when closed.

I hate physical keyboard that is soo old school. It's 2012 and we need to be up to date with technology.
Ignore the trolls. Any word on finding this sliding case for US purchase?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Not a good answer, but you can get a simple OnTheGo USB cable, and plug any USB keyboard in. Handy if you are going to do a lot of work on the phone. Not that you would carry a USB keyboard around.
FYI ele-boat says it'll be available for purchase November 10th.

True but I really need a car dock so I ordered it anyway. I'll let you know how it is. It seems that both from Amazon and eBay they all ship from Korea so it will probably be a while.

More expensive alternative: http://www.wpcentral.com/review-nokia-cr-200-wireless-car-charger-part1
I had one like this for my Rezound but it sucked pretty badly. The phone holder part was always detaching from the arm part, especially in hot or cold weather due to the plastic parts that didn't fit snuggly enough in the first place.

I saw that one too but I remember reading about the N4 having issues with the Nokia Qi charger due to them not following the standard or something, so I figured this may have that issue as well.

Owl Charger?
My N5 just shipped, so I pulled the trigger and ordered this one from Owl. They should come around the same time. I've not seen much in English about this company, but enough reviews on Korean sites for me to take a chance. Anyone else ever tried or heard of this company?

Thanks, I found that really large thread on the N4 forums. It seems hit or miss and kinda depending on what you're looking for. I'm hoping that being here in Korea, I'll maybe get some support from the manufacturer :laugh: I'll update or maybe do a review once I get it. Maybe.
My experience with using a wireless charger in the car (one mounted on the windshield) doesn't work to well in the summer time. Would charge fine on the drive to work in the morning before sun rise. Not so on the drive home in the heat of the afternoon.
Hello. I want to buy a strong power bank for laptops, emergencies, etc. I see these two:

And:
https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-72000mAh-Portable-Generator-Technology/dp/B0791WDZTW/
Which one is better? I ask because is strange that the Renogy is extremely cheaper compared to the Krisdonia, but why?
Both look strong but which one is the best?
Thank you

iMuto power bank is best then other. Because it has big mAh battery saving and Two ports, 20,000mAh and affordable. It's worth $29.99 maybe cheap.
I like MI Power Banks. They are so powerful and effective. You must give them a try if haven't used it yet

I cannot see the prices, but usually if there's a big price difference it's fake, there's no precise way to quantify a battery size other that what the manufacturer says, so probably those 72.000mAh are probably fake, check the reviews on others website, maybe you'll find more info about
no price of the product you post.
I THINK no one want to buy it
If you are look for the cheaper versions of the same stuff that is on Amazon you better go to Aliexpress. Also I saw somewhere a nice list of cool looking powerbanks from there, for example a powerbank in shape of a hand grenade.. let me try to remember where I saw it..
