[Q] Wireless charging for extended batteries? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Been searching a while for a wireless charging kit for extended batteries but havn't had any succes yet..
I've only found a kit on ebay but its made in hong kong and i dont realy have alot of trust in it and got no clue if it would fit with my battery and if its decent quality, also the fact that this backside doesnt fit with the yesoo case that i have atm is holding me back to actually try it..
So would realy like to know if there are other options or more realiable sellers of this item. Or is there any way to modify this patch http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...ductive-wireless-charging-receiver-patch-for- so that it would fit for extended batteries?

Already tried to search for a thread like that but found nothing

I searched using the term: wireless mod
it's under the title Hyperion/Zerolemon wireless charging mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167926&highlight=wireless+mod
maybe contact the guy for specific instructions.

I ask this question in the Official Extended battery thread and it was answered
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39341408&postcount=495
Hopefully that clears it up for you
EDIT: I thought I read the official extended battery sorry.
Anyway all you have to do is connect the contact points from the wireless patch to the phone, it shouldn't create too much added bulk.

I hate to say it, but that cradle is horrible... it looks like it forces you into landscape mode and you lose the keyboard. I like this one from expansys much better...

You´re right, but I think it is a cradle (passive/active holder), not a dockingstation similar to one for a notebook.
The station from expansys is useful for everyone who uses his Universal for a longer time on one place and don´t wants to lose some Li-Ion capacity.
At least I´m prefering original accessories
regards[/u]
where are these products eventually going to show up?
I'm assuming your contact has the inside line on them and will know this?
I am looking for an external GSM antenna with cable and connector for my jasjar. Any ideas??
Regards
@numanoids: We can not really say when these products will be available; the blisters are still in the developement.
As far as we get them from Qtek for packing them I´ll post a message here.
On www.qtek.nu you may see some accesories, but these new products are not there yet; it depends on their admins how long it whiles until they show them on their site.
regards
Finally!!! A battery charger!!!!
Any news on the availability or pics yet??
What the heck is the use of that stupid cradle on the expansys link posted above? The jasjar can do everything the same without the cradle too!!! Why would someone purchase it and for what?!?!?!

because of my setup (computer under the table) the cable keeps on falling behind the desk when it is not connected to the Universal so something like a cradle to keep the cable in place why i would need some. I know it isn't the only solution, but it definitely is a pretty one
Meh. Still not worth it.
UD.
Sorry guys, no pics available yet; you may find a new reply when I got them..
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=126238
i've got the cradle.
its plastik with no features, but its a cradle
it does what is says. plug it in and it works, looks crapy but protects your cam.
no complaints
HTC098337- Battery Charger for std. Battery
I hope this is not the cradle?? Should be an independent battery charger?
PICTURES
Hi Guys,
here are the pictures of the extended battery.. unfortunately the qtek people made it in qtek9000 colour - its black... :?
The item code is PU16B; that thing has 3800(!!!)mAh...
Hope for ya´ll that it will while not that long until that item is available )
@airbag 14: That charger is an single charger without any further functionality; I´ve already seen that item, but has no possibility to make pics of it...

HTC Smart Vehicle Car Kit

htcpedia is showing the "smart" car kit on it's website now. Looks a lot like the old HD2 dock, sans the custom battery door shenanigans. It's a tad expensive, but it looks a little nicer and looks like it'll slide in better than the Verizon version. Another problem is of course, it DOESN'T support the extended battery.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-thunderbolt-car-kit-vehicle-dock.html
These guys are showing May 16th for release date:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=27978
Interesting, but that is far too expensive and released far too late...
"This car kit can not be used with HTC Thunderbolt extended battery"
Pass.
For $60 it had better give me a happy ending every time I'm in the car.
Please note: This car kit can not be used with HTC Thunderbolt extended battery. It only work with a standard battery on your HTC Thunderbolt.

Who proof read their site, a 3rd grader? Looks like the Chinese to English translator was off that day.
I don' see how that mount will work at all, the USB port is on the bottom of the mount, with the phone inserted vertically. Looks to be made for the Evo to me...
I ordered this kit from HTCPedia and the actual car mount looks nothing like the one depicted on their site. The actual kit was made for the HTC Thunderbolt and it supports the extended battery.

It is well worth the sixty dollars. It is quite sturdy and it can be positioned at nearly any angle. I paid one hundred dollars for the HTC HD2 mount, so I was pretty happy about the reduced price for this phone.
I'd like to see some pics as well.
I am under the post requirement to drop links, so you have to copy and paste those partial links into your browser (trakanon.com/Images/*).
Those pics doesn't show the Tbolt hooked up with the extended battery just the holder. It does hold the extended battery. HTCpedia had a video up showing it with the extended battery. The video is long gone. But if you look at the the curve in the back, that's for the extended battery.
Piece of crap...
I picked this car dock up from Newegg.com for $39.99. It's solid and I like the way it mounts so, physically, I love it. However, it doesn't charge the phone. When the phone is in the cradle, it automatically opens up Car Home (mildly annoying, but I guess that's to be expected), but it DOES NOT CHARGE! I'm very ticked off. I've tried it with three difference chargers, one of which is my home wall-wart charger.
It seems HTC is too busy cranking out phone after phone after phone and all the subsequent accessories, that the basic fundamental quality is lost.
I got one a few months ago from htcpedia with the same problem. After playing with the mount, I discovered there was a short in the mount somewhere causing charge to be erratic. Long story short, I got a RMA/replacement and the new unit works great.

Desk stand w/extra battery bay

Just found this - looks very nice!
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-dual-desktop-charging-cradle-p29886.htm
If only the extra battery was in stock!
That l ooks great. How it looks seamless witht he device on and the blue light rather than a green one
I just love the picture of the actual device.

I caught that too, I wonder what the hell that means - anyone?
I really want to buy this too, looks gorgeous and does exactly what I want!
Really nice looking that one!
Clove a one that does the same thing, 5 pounds cheaper, but not quite nice looking. Shame they also do not have the extra batteries in stock...
...and I agree - you've got to love a picture of the phone in the dock with the phone showing itself overclocked
I guess it might be a typo or maybe this is designed for the Optimus 2x but the Galaxy S II fits as well especially since the Optimus 2X also has the microUSB port at the sae location.

I thought about that too and the likeliness of the USB placement being similar is high, however, I'd be surprised if the batteries lined up perfectly...?
Or maybe this is the other way around, its a stand designed for the S II and fits the 2x as well. So battery individual charging might not be there.
The same thing is available without the spare battery charger

It looks and is great!
The price is awesome too.
I ''ll hit it!!!
It doesn't seem like they ship to US
its a nice dock i suppose you gotta take the case off your mobile everytime you put your phone in the dock..
Hi everybody.. I will be owning Samsung Galaxy SII later and
I am searching this kind of device. Unfortunately, it is still no stock.
Also, I have been searching and find something similiar in: Anymode Charging Dock with Stand for Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 (w w w . exportprive . com/anymode-charging-dock-with-stand-samsung-galaxy-i9100-p-16205 .htm).(erase all spaces to open). However when I am going to order from export prive, there is *** beside it and it says "Products marked with *** dont exist in desired quantity in our stock.
You can buy them anyway and check the quantity we have in stock for immediate deliver in the checkout process.". What does it mean? Does it mean out of stock? I only intend to order one and from the availability (48 hr), Available under 48h
Items are in stock and ready to be shipped. So, what does it actually mean?
Can you find other alternative to that? Thx!
Hi.. I have just found another altrernative: Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 USB Desktop Cradle with 2nd battery slot by Mugen POWER BATTERY. Is it good? Is the website reliable? Thx!
somebody please answer me ( (
thx

I would love to know this even with Samsungs original case?
Has anyone found a stand that can support it?
Just ordered one, hope it works as well as it looks
@Venomqld & Lembo : You probably do need to take the case off, however there are stands/cradles that come with interchangeable cradle sizes so you can charge it and dock it without having to take the case off, I'll try to find the link for it.
Edit: the link to the dock I was talking about can be found in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072200&page=5
Page 5 , you will find pictures there.
If only that had a DC jack on the back as well, I'd snap that up.
Hi,
Have recently ordered a SGS2 and the below dock. Will let you know how the dock holds up when I receive it.

Car dock + Extended battery

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the following
I want to get myself one of the official Samsung Car docks as shown here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acjPAunLk_Y
The problem I am having at the moment is that I already have a Samsung Extended 2000mah batter as shown here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tHvfEtsvUg
Question is will the phone fit with this extended battery or would I have to look at some other solution for a car dock?
i have the car dock but not the battery, but i have read that there is a bit of the car dock that can be popped out so it will fit with the extended battery i cant confirm it but i read it in the q+a forum some where
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381957&highlight=car+dock+battery
Thanks ... I was just about to Phone Samsung to check stock and order one
i just had a search through this thread as well and a few people saying it fits. im thinking about ordering the extended battery myself

Extended Battery works like a charm. That extra mah helps a lot. I can get through a heavy days usage and that at 11pm at night it still is on 54% ish
Hence the question cause I would rather get a different dock than use the stocks battery
I both use the original samsung 2000 mah extendend battery and the original samsung car dock and it fits. It's a bit tight, but it fits.
Yea I can second that, it does fit but it's TIGHT
I also have the Samsung vehicle dock + 2000mAh battery and fits great.
However, I have a problem with the car dock: the audio quality through the line out is crap. It doesn't even compare with the upper headphone out; the volume is extremely low and the sound hasn't got any depth. Does anyone know if there's any solution for this?
I'm not connecting the sound yet. I was thinking of getting a Bluetooth Deck installed in my car so then I would just use that but will have to see.

Monster Watts Wireless Charging Kits for Gs3

Very cool. I wonder what the charging pad looks like.
Also, while this will fit under your otterbox I don't know if it will actually charge it through it. Worth the $45 though!
for 45$ and a drop in solution i am willing to try and test it...
This looks like a damn good price tbh. $68 for a receiver and charger is cheaper than any qi combo that I know of currently.
The bonus is that it's also Qi technology so even if you change your s3 out, you should be able to get another phone that has qi tech in it or even modify that charging pad to work on other electronic devices (with some copper tape/wire)

Thats exactly what i was thinking.. The odd fact that i just so happend to find this today and apparently it just went live today i am pretty excited to snag it at this price.
But As im sure the capabilities to wirelessly charge are inevitably going to be included in future phones it isnt like this tech is likely going to be easily replaced. And it also seems like Samsung is going to abandon using our phones tech as wireless charging.. or at least thats what i gathered from thsi article..
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/11/samsung_s4/
the thing w/ samsung and wireless charging is that they really have no idea who the hell they're really going to back. Yes, Samsung co-founded A4WP, but they're also member of Qi's group as well.
To me, it just looks like they're sitting on the fence and waiting to see who will come out as the standard before going all in. I also don't think Samsung will build it into the phone itself due to its current ambivalence on the 2 standards and most likely leave it open like the s3 and note 2.
While the article talks about a4wp having a few cm of range, he also did not mention that a newer revision of Qi offers up to 4cm of range as well (last I checked).
I don't care much for too much range for wireless charging, just enough so that any non-ferrous case will charge regardless of thickness. I have a Qi set and it has so far worked with the ballisitc SG (although it Can get picky, but that's due to the fact that I also modified the charger to be at a 45 degree angle and the case's bottom lip [on the hard plastic side] curved up a little for no reason)

Right that much i understand...
I was holding out for the wireless charging where i didnt need to have it directly on the base. and every few months i search around for a viable option.
So far, since my free time is limited, this seems like the best all in one solution that doesnt require me to change my case, and its a good price.

in you case it seems to be a cheaper and more reliable solution imo.
all in all, it's a good find. although I should've ask if it affects nfc as well..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The stealth one, and the one built into a battery cover can be found on a different site for only about $15.
this one comes with a charger as well.. which would cost 50-60 usd more. so it's a good deal.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well.. I bought mine for $47.90 with the charger and receiver, so if your willing to spend just another $2 then you can get that with less of the wait.
that's great. any link for others who might be interested?

That was for Tenchuboy, not you.
He claimed he got a set that was cheaper and all that, so I asked a link so he can prove it. So far, complete silence from him.
OOOhhhhhhh....
i got it. i know i could make a set with the palm pixie stuff, i priced it out on amazon and total with a charging dock its like 20$... but i dont have the time to. im only actually home about 3 days a month. id rather be lazy..
Just an FYI i got my wireless charging kit from this company and it works great. Its a small device that attaches to the back of the stock battery. Its very small and it fits perfectly, very small buldge from the device but the back case fits on fine and my otterbox fits it perfectly.
the best part, it works with the stock otterbox. there were no issues with wireless charging whatsoever.
How is this one any different than any of the other wireless IQ receiver pads & chargers for the s3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
That it works with all variants, doesnt require you to change out your battery door, although they offer a solution for it, and its pad and reciever for 40$
