[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.

Spigen Leinwand

Hi
I have found a case wich seems great, but I can't find any review or test (appart the one of the official site, like "OMG when I received this case it was the best day ever")
http://www.spigen.com/spigen-sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-leather-case-leinwand-series.html
It seems pretty good... but a little bulky, no ? And maybe to pricy for the quality ?
Besides, according to amazon or wathever, the product weight 227 g (8 onces), which is like 2 times the weight of the GN ! Is it the whole box or just the product ?

Could you make a small review if the case? For example does it have any magnets? Also is it stable enough when used as a stand?

yup thats what i based my decision on. the stand however is a bit tipsy and the case needs some flexing before it will stand properly. other than that, no complaint.

Regarding the stand position could you also place it horizontally rather than vertically as shown in the video?

it works in both portrait and landscape mode, but it is highly recommended in landscape for videos and such because it's super flimy in portait.

What I ment was placing it in landscape mode but more horizontal rather than vertical as shown in the video. To be more accurate I mean using the bigger part as the stand rather than the small one as displayed.

I think what he meant was if he could get more angle when using the flip as a stand.

The case of the 1st post seems to allow more angle, no?
Senr from my device using my finger

sorry I misunderstood. the case you posted has 2 angles. whereas the case I posted has only 1 angle.

New Phone, New Style

I just got my replacement phone from Sprint and there are some things that are different from the phone that I got at Radio Shack in July. The pictures were taken with my old S2, which is now my mom's so that's why it has a pink care.
First, the colors of the phone are different. The new phone is more of a grayish color. The replacement phone is on the left and the old phone is on the right.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, the power buttons have different sized icons and again you can see the color difference. New phone on top old one on bottom.
Finally, the home buttons are completely different. The new one is a purplish color and is long and short while the old one is a gray color and is short and tall. The new one is on the left and the old one is on the right.
Also, the buttons are much more clicky and I like that, but they squeak sometimes.
So, which phone do you have?

I got the exact one you got in July. Also got my at launch .I think they changed a few things because the pebble blue was in such demand and they couldn't keep up with production and probably used a third party to help. Which is why some are different .

lol
I got the white phone so I don't know

There was some cosmetics issues that kept appearing in the original pebble(the one you previously had) and Samsung fixed those issues with the next pebble blue(the one you have now).

Hahaha..

It must've been pretty shortly after the main production where they switch the color. I bought my phone maybe a month or 2 months after lunch and it too also has more of a gray appearance like the replacement you received. However I'll be getting that phone replaced because it's dead now so make sure to let you know what my replacement looks like.

I've used it for about a week now and I like it a lot better. The screen seems to also be improved. My other phone had scratches all over it after the first week and this one still looks brand new. The only complaint I have is the squeaky buttons.

All of the dials are Android Wear by default but they can all be changed to Nixon or Moto360 but adjusting the opacity of the logo images.
**Updated- The day of the week dial has been updated and should now work through the end of 2016. The links will be updated one more time once Facer supports integers for day of the week.

I love the black and red one! Here's what it looks like with a natural leather strap: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55674742&postcount=399
Any chance you can make one similar to this, but with a blue background?

Nice.... The design kinda reminds of Ulysses Nardin watches for some reason, albeit a bit more on the simpler side. It would be awesome if someone made a UN face

Is this more what you're looking for? Rename from .zip to .face and import as normal.

Great work! These are really nice.

All links updated with new equation for day of the week. This will fix inaccuracies in January and February and should work properly until the end of 2016.

Thanks for the great watch face, the black and orange is my go to face.
The recent update still has the day off for me, it says Monday, but its Sunday at 9:30 am.
I guess we have to wait for Facer to really get to the bottom of it.

That's really strange, I use 1 of these everyday and it has never been wrong for me. Noe it would be a lot easier to adjust though. If you go into Tue settings for that hand you should just be able to adjust the +2.
My watch shows Sunday, see attachrd screenshot

I'm not sure what you mean by +2.
Where do I add that in the rotation code?

The updated face should use the following for the rotation
((((#DD#+((#Dyy#+2)%7))%7)+(#DH#/24))*(360/7)) if yours doesn't display that, its not the updated version.

[Q] OPO Origami dock?

Hi
Got my OPO from an online store in Malaysia (I'm from the Philippines). It comes with this extra package
I've watched a lot of OPO unboxing but I haven't seen this before

At the back
Inside is this thingymajig. I'm pretty sure this is some sort of a dock or something
Rear view
Tried putting it together. With all my best efforts, I've failed.
Only got this far. I dunno how to build the back part.
I tried searching for it on the interwebz but to no success.
Can anyone please point me out to a tutorial on how to build this?
Extra info: My OPO doesn't come with the Cyanogenmod logo at the back (dunno if this is a good thing). And it's got ColorOS bundled (Now using temasek's).
TIA!!

Have you scanned that qr code? May be some info will be there.

works for me, i hope it helps

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I was away on vacation lol.
I hope this will suffice. I dont really have access to a scanner. I just laid the thingy flat and PSed the background

Thank you very much!
How is the slot made? Is it folded inwards? If so, guess I'll have to work a bit with scissors and glue ?
Can you provide the measure of that big horizontal fold near the top, so that I could calculate its dimension (preferably in metric)? ☺
Thank you again! ?

no idea if this is right or not (dont have the dock) but it looks like it might be an opening for a "speaker"
if you look in the bottom of the slot where the phone sits, you can see that its open for the speakers.....so maybe the sound gets directed down and out the back side of the dock.....maybe?
dont have anything that I can draw, but the opening at the back might point towards the phone....so the sound kinda loops around.
