Hi,
Just received my Mugen Power Batteries's Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3. The dock is identified by the code [KDG-LXC-SI93] and it's the dock with the second slot for a second battery.
With the dock I received a charger (1A output) with a USB-to-MicroUSB cable.
The Dock has a good build quality and it's nice to see on my desk. The price is low and the charger with the cable in the package let you to set the dock and you could use it without move its.
You could see some photos in the attach files. I think it's nice to see the dock with the Galaxy S3, don't you?
You could find it at http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html . The price is 24,95 $.
For additional Photos e for an italian review: http://technologyandroid.com/2012/08/recensione-ecco-la-dock-per-il-galaxy-s3-secondo-mugen-power/
Can it be used with a bigger battery? Or just for OEM?
I was going to buy this dock
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-T...neChargers&hash=item27c8b50d6d#ht_1920wt_1399
It looks so similar to yours, but a different brand - wonder if its the same
edit: looks to be the exact same but without the battery dock!

They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.
The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.
The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...
Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.
I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.
Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.
Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.
but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.
Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find
The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port.

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.
guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

I never used the power button on my Nexus S when it was docked.
Anyone know if they can fit? or officially work good with extended battery?
from picrures, the HDMI dock maybe hold fine, but not sure about the portrait dock, the phone will have little tilt with extended battery, also it designed around GSM version with standard battery (cover).
No one bought the HDMI dock ?
I've just received the desktop dock with audio out (EDD-D1F2) and it works fine on my GSM GN with the official 2000 mAh extended battery.
Can you make a comparison with standard and extended battery on the dock, and upload a photo?
as I seen before, the dock made in shape of the back with standard battery, to fit that bump on the back.
EDD-H1F2
Just today have collected Samsung EDD-H1F2 dock station and with some reason doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 (with original 2000mAh) ... any clue or advice ????

Wow I can't believe how much the price goes up with just an hdmi port.
In Europe that HDMI dock can be a little cheaper:

Those docks are NOT from Mugen!
They are from a company called Kidigi, which the logo says on the docks...
I have been using the dock with place for a 2nd battery for a month and it is really good. Fits perfectly and feels high quality. It can charge a standard sized battery, but not the extended battery. And they only fit the GSM model, not the VZW model...
If you have a MHL-adapter you do not need the HDMI dock, just plug the mhl adapter into the dock and you will be able to transfer the picture.
I bought mine from 4u-mobi.com
Can certainly recommend those docks!
Posted about this a while back, seems there is a little more interest now that people realize how expensive the Samsung option is.
I have the dock with the spare battery charger as well.
It fits nice and snug both with and without a case, though that may also be a complaint for some people. I used to have the Nexus One desktop dock, so it's a little annoying that the dock stays so well attached when I'm trying to take the phone out of it. If the Samsung dock wasn't so stupidly expensive I probably would have preferred to go official just for ease of docking/undocking.
The best feature is that the dock will actually support data through the USB port on it, so like others have mentioned you can transfer files while connected to a computer, or turn it into a HDMI dock with a MHL adapter.

I have a mhl adapter but two questions/concerns.
1) Can you charge the phone and output hdmi if you connect the MHL adapter?
2) The mhl adapter also needs power. If I am using this in the car, not sure how I will provide power to the MHL adapater and phone at the same time. Does the MHL adapter also charge the phone when it is plugged in?
Ugh another gsm only option. I think I've finally had it and I'm going to try making my own.

1) Yes, but you will need to plug a charger into the mhl adapter.
2) Have not tried, but I guess that may be a problem since the mhl cable requires enough power. Maybe a cable from 12V to the MHL is enough, but I cannot guarantee that it will work.

According to the Samsung Accessories page they have one
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T999MBATMB-accessories
Samsung Galaxy S® III Spare Battery Charging System
ETC-CP1G6LGSTA
but it doesn't look like it has a charging port for the phone and the spare battery..
$50 for a desktop dock or a car dock. That is outrageous for a piece of plastic.
I can't decide if I want to buy two docks or wait for an all-in-one option. I want something that will charge the phone, the battery, and have built in line out. Nothing I've seen has all three.
Maybe I'll wait till Jelly Bean comes out with play-through USB feature and just get a clock dock.
I am about to sell my atrix 4g and upgrade to a Galaxy S3 with AT&T (one week till I'm eligible). I currently have the OEM motorola car dock sitting on a Pro-Clip vehicle mount using a ball meant for the garmin nuvi (luckily the moto swivel uses the same size ball as the garmin). I LOVE the nice finished look of the install and I won't go without a car dock again.
I see that Samsung has not released a car dock for the S3 yet. I'm aware the dock for the infuse fits close enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to bypass the suction cup/arm and mount just the swivel+phone holder on my proclip mount on the dash. This leads me to an all Brodit/Pro-Clip solution...
Brodit makes a couple different holders for the Galaxy S3, however the one with the hard wired 2a charger (model 513398) says it is compatible with the i9300 ONLY and not any of the US versions. Any ideas why this is? I don't want to have to put the phone in a holder and then plug in wires to it, I would really prefer an all in one solution.
Apprehension about this car dock setup has me considering the moto Atrix HD, but I really want to get back to the open-ness of a samsung platform (had the Captivate before my current phone). I am content with giving up the lapdock, but won't give up a car dock. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
*cliff notes* Why does the Brodit 513398 mount for the Galaxy S3 with 2a charger say it is for the i9300 only and not the US S3? Alternately any ideas on how to remove the suction cup and arm from the Infuse car dock and mount just the phone holder and swivel mechanism onto my pro-clip dash mount?
It will work. All S3's no matter what the model number have the same body design.

I figured the fit wouldn't be an issue, but what about the power supply? Do all S3's have the same input tolerances? I'd hate to put 2 amps into the charging port only to fry a circuit in the phone...
There's gotta be a reason Brodit/Proclipusa list it as i9300 only, otherwise why not go for more sales? It is almost 2x the price of the non-powered holder. Reading another thread on XDA it looks like the phone itself has smart circuitry to adapt to different input currents and prevent overcurrent charging, so hopefully it will work.
I might just have to bite the bullet and buy one and then report back with my findings.
The way power supplys work is I could get a 1000000billion amp plug and the power should not be fryed *same thing for computer PSUs* they only pull what they need *or in charging case they only pull what the max they were made for*
A 2amp charger will charge your GS3 much faster then the .25 amp crap AC charger that comes with the GS3. *My GS3 charges full in about an hour or so with my 2 amp charger*
The charger I use by the way is this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10851&cs_id=1085102&p_id=8856&seq=1&format=2
One of the ports *it is labeled* is a 2 amp port and that is what charges my phone so fast. The rest are normal lower wattage AC USB ports.
A good option if you just want a small form factor single port one is a the HP TouchPad USB power charger, it is 2amp as well and is only $5 *also super small form factor*

Well I just got an email back from ProClipUSA (less than 10 minute turn around time!):
Hi XXXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. At this time we do not have a Charging Holder/Dock for the Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T SGH-i747, Verizon SCH-i535, Sprint SPH-L710, T-Mobile USA SGH-T999). We already have determined that the American version of the Galaxy S III’s are slightly thicker due to the LTE Radio Stack. We have tested our current holder and only our non-charging holders will currently work with the US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III.
We DO anticipate making the Charging holders for the US Carrier versions, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. We will get these devices as soon as they come available and adjust our charging holders and have new product numbers for these devices.
We expect this device to be available within the next 1 to 3 weeks.
We will notify you by e-mail as soon as the Holder for your specific Samsung Galaxy S III has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.
Best Regards,
Gregg Pokey

Talk about great customer service! Guess I can pull the trigger on the phone and just wait till the updated holder is available from Proclips. Waiting a few weeks isn't too terrible.
