[Q] how does the oem bettery charger and stand work?

i am looking at this:
Galaxy S Battery Charger w/ Stand
samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/mobile-phone-accessories/ET-CHGPKNVGSTA/index.idx?pagetype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&tab=accFeatures
but i can't quite tell how it works. does that flat part flip down to cover the spare battery as it charges? or is that the back of the stand? do you just set the phone up in that groove toward the rear of the device? is there a charging connector built into the stand part, or do you still have to manually plug it in?
sorry for the stream of questions - does anyone have experience with this?

I have the battery stand and it can hold the phone only if the cover is tilted. When you do use it to hold up the phone, battery is exposed

hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions

so you're saying you take the back off for this?

Thanks for the pictures. I ordered mine last week and hoping it would come before end of the week.
Being mobile and on the go during and after work, 1 battery wont be enough for me and an external charger will help greatly.

Ph00ny...perfect, now I see how it works. Sitting in the stand, there is no integrated charging solution since the micro usb is on the top, right?

Well that's great for an extra battery, but the phone just sits there and doesn't get charged. Some body must have a better solution.

Samsung has another Dock that holds the phone Horizontally and charges it:
They call it a multimedia dock
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories

ph00ny, can you lay the phone horizontally, or does it have to stand up?

It works great in horizontal orientation. You don't even have to open the battery cover
I will take some more pics tonight

For swapping out the battery or making it stand in vertical orientation?

Here is the phone in horizontal

Thumbs up for Top Gear!

Cool, I don't know how I missed that as I had been through their accessories pages quite a few times. Does it actually have a media out of some sort? I can't tell from the pic but it looks like there is another port on the back of it. And ofcourse it's out of stock.

Motorola Rapid Charger Problem

I got a good deal on the Motorola rapid charger on ebay, shipped for $6. It charges fine and everything is good performance-wise, but there seems to be a problem with the micro-usb fitment with my TB. When I'm unplugging the phone from the charger it seems like it's stuck in there pretty good. Rather than just pulling on it and risking damage to my phone I just tried wiggling it out. That seemed to work and after about only the 5th use the usb end of the charger came apart and part of it was actually still stuck in the phone. Well of course I almost **** my pants because that's obviously not a good thing. I did get it out of the TB with no damage done to it, but now I'm confused as to why it's so much trouble to remove the charger from the micro-usb port. I see that it has 2 little hooks on the end and I don't see any release to push in as I'm unplugging, so what am I doing wrong? I read all the rave reviews on here and Amazon both about how well the charger works, specifically for the TB. The weird part is that I don't see anyone mention having this problem, can someone help me out here? I'll attach a pic of the charger just so we're on the same page here.

Yeah I don't know what the deal is. I tried it in my Nook Color when I still had it and there was no problem at all. So that would make me think it was the TB somehow, BUT... any other micro-usb I have ever tried in the TB has ever done this. I guess I just got a defective charger, I think I'm gonna try Amazon this time and just get another. Who knows where the ebay one came from. But the weird part is the hooks on the micro-usb end, I swear I think those are not releasing like they should or something.

has anyone found a usable docking station for the opo?

They are out there. A quick eBay AU search (located near Melbourne):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OnePlus-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3ce05c5e25
So there must be more out there!

free postage - I highly doubt that if I would ordered it (to Germany) but yeah - something like that. Now i just have to find a less geographically challenging solution.
But thanks for the suggestion.

EverDock
There is a company called EverDock that was on KickStarter, it features a DOCK where you can switch the plug from forward or reverse, plus you can either use it for Iphone, Ipad, Android Mini USB. There is also a dock they sell that allows two devices to be charged at one time. Here is a link

either way you can see you can use it for different products. I hope this helps. I have the single one.

Any docks made specifically for OPO?
That would be awesome. Been looking for that.
An ideal one would be made out of bamboo, and with bamboo back cover...

I really dunno if this works, but I found a suggestion in another forum: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/ there I was told this works with the OPO, too.

That one breaks really easily. I've gone through 2 already (removing the phone from the dock eventually breaks the pegs that holds the cable in place).
I ordered this one and like it so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009L6AHLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Can you tell me what exactly breaks on this docking station? which pegs? why at the cable? the cable is on the backside, how does something break there when the phone is being removed?

BTW, stations for the HTC One M8 should be compatible I was told. Has anyone experiences with this?
could this be an alternative?
http://www.amazon.de/Emartbuy®-Funktion-kompatibel-Docking-Ladegerät/dp/B00KC0X98I
or such a universal usb docking station - as long as the usb plug has the right direction?
like http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00JFLV3KG/ref=nosim/andrhilfdeand-21 or http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Do...e-Nexus-5-HTC-Desire-S-Desire-Z-/400802464581
Or is there more to watch out like angle of the plug or the distance to the backside?

Try this one.. It is compatible with OnePlus One.. i have been using this for the past 2 days without problem

it looks like the one from above: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/
but I am not sure: where does the phone have íts secure stand? Is the phone held by the usb connector only? My last shown examples above have a higher back, which can hold the phone very secure and protect the usb connector against the pressure when using the phone in the dock.

Check out the Lambda-Dock. The connector can be turned and its produced in germany...

Moto 360 USB Interface Cables for Sale

Hello everyone,
This is a question to get a feel for the market and to see if it's financially valid to pursue. Many of us here are lurkers and unable to build the interface cable ourself, yes there's a video showing us how to do it, but many of us are still unwilling to build it. Here's where I come in.
I am wondering how many of you guys would be interested in buying a USB interface cable for the Moto 360 to root, unlock bootloader, etc.
I would sell it for cost price + labor costs (not too greedy) + shipping, I'll even donate to the person in the video for helping me get this far..
The video tutorial below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3a2fdTy_6A
So the question is, would you buy it? How much are you willing to pay for it?
Thanks

i am interested.

i am interested.

i am interested.

I would buy one for 20$

I might be interested if you could explain what the benefits might be?

I'm interested as well.

you should make this a poll so you can get better numbers without having to slog through a bunch of posts, just an idea also I think we can design a better one that's a little more solid than the rather flimsy pins on the CAT5 connectors.... I'd really love to have a nice setup with pogo pins and maybe even a special watch band that you can plug in a cord to or something... It would make it better and MUCH more reliable without having to remove the watch band every time.... I have a few design ideas and really I just need parts and time and maybe a few people to bounce ideas off of

is anyone selling these? my moto 360 is stuck in force close loop

I'm in for sure

I'm lazy as ****. I'm in

Another lazy person reporting in, would love to have one.

There is a company that makes cables to flash custom Chinese rom onto the moto 360.

Benuo Leather Card Case

Hey guys, I recently got hooked up with the sweet case. It's made by a company called Benuo. I got the black version.

I really liked it. It definitely will come in handy on a vacation or short get away. I tested it in a few different scenarios. It doesn't work with Samsung Pay if you have two cards in it (which is the purpose of the case.) If you don't use Samsung Pay, this won't be a big deal. I use Samsung Pay for nearly all my purchases so the case will only be used when going somewhere where I'd like to have less in my pockets.
I also tested it with wireless charging. That was a hit or miss. It worked with my stock Samsung Wireless Fast Charger but didn't with my off brand wireless fast car charger. Also, when I did wireless charge it, it retained a lot of heat. (I'd recommend not using the case while wirelessly charging.)
Overall, I think the quality of the case is decent. It gets the job done while providing its purpose, to hold two of your cards. I don't see myself using it unless I will be on vacation or going out. That isn't to say that it isn't a great case cause it is. I'd definitely recommend it to someone who would like to save some room in there pockets.

I too picked up this case. I have to admit... I really like this case. The fit is good but the corners are not snug. I thought that was a flaw until I needed to use Samsung pay. It came right off with no issue and came back on.
The leather is legit. Stitching was strong. While it won't be my daily driver, its good when I go out.
