[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.

Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle

Now shipping for the EVO.

I like the car dock even though they did not set it up to activate the car dock mode.

My car dock from them puts my evo in car mode every time.

mine will be here tomorrow ..

Let us know how it is. It's so ridiculous that Seidio comes out with one before HTC/Sprint. I've lost hope that the official dock is ever going to materialize.

I ordered the kit, it shipped yesterday but USPS tracking sucks so I have no idea when it will be here... Hopefully by the end of the week.

here is my problem, fitment issue ....
if i put the evo on the dock this is how far i can push the case down be it touches the bottom of the dock ... so the phone is being held up by the usb plug
if i insert the evo as you normally would i can rock it back and forth a little, not a soild stop at all

I got mine today. Looked great. I have a problem with mine. When I plug the phone into the cradle, my phone rings randomly, every few minutes, & sometimes it's an extended ringtone! Please tell me there's a setting that's making it do this, but I think mine is defective as well....

Hey guys...just got mine today.
I like it except one thing.
Shouldn't it put the phone in desktop dock mode?
Or did they not ground the wires the right way...
The battery info just shows a/c connected

What's desktop dock mode?

If the wiring is right, hypothetically it should put the phone in dock mode...meaning the phone understands that it is docked, not just charging.
Unless I'm missing something...that is an option.

Cup holder car mount?

Hey guys,
basically what I would love to find is something to place into my car cupholder that would hold my phone while allowing both the usb power / and 3.5mm audio jack to be plugged in. I don't need a mount as such, anyway to hold it whilst allowing the cables to be plugged in would suffice.
I love to using the audio jack straight into the stereo, it works wonderfully as a makeshift handsfree. Please let me know of any ideas or possible modifications I could make to existing products to make this work. T
Thanks!!!

Would this work? It says you can connect cords through the base.
$6.95

It doesn't show as much of the screen as I would like but it does look like a very good option....I'd give a shot, one problem is no postage to Thailand.
Thanks though

I thought about that one too, but he said he didn't want a mount.

Well a mount might work, if it was cheaper. This one is for iPhone so I'd be worried about it fitting. It's not a universal type mount is it?

Nope, it's like the one I liked. You could fold where the base connects to the middle. It's made of metal also, but thanks though.
The phone can either sit horizontal or vertical. The reason why I'm looking for one is because once I get a case. I prefer not to take off the case when I have to plug in.

It's a little expensive but I can use it to hold my SGS2 or TF when not using the docking station.

Looks too big to hold the SGSII in portrait orientation.
I just got this one, which is a battery charger that doubles as a stand. Cheap and it is an original Samsung accessory too!

But you can't charge the phone on it, only the spare battery... I'm wrong?

The one that I got does not charge the phone because I wanted to be able to use it in the landscape orientation as well. There is a version that charges but you can only stand the phone in portrait orientation for obvious reasons. Pic below from Clove.

Well if you just want a basic stand, there is an Otterbox stand but Im not sure if they sell it retail. I got one at Showstoppers during MWC. Will try and find a link

Such a bluetooth leather keyboard case, thoughts?

1) if you want a laptop, get a laptop (I don't mean it in a rude way; it's just that everyone who tries to use their tablet like a laptop comes here and complains that it doesn't work very well). BTW- ever tried typing on a keyboard that's the size of your tablet? Not fun.
2) for $30, I don't even have to look at the description. I can guarantee it's garbage.
3) that keyboard is for the p1000. Either you don't want that case, or you're in the wrong forum!

Mostly agree, except you can also use the tablet for reading for work, but not writing...
