Battery Packs (10,000mAH, 12,000mAH, 20,000mAH)

I found these and wanted to share these with you. For those of you who aren't comfortable with a big fat battery in the back of your device, I think these should serve well. The first three are very cheap @ under $20.00.

anything that looks like cheap **** from China, probably is...

Maybe so, but these are definitely a better option than the cheap extended batteries available on ebay. Atleast they won't blow up inside the device. If somebody has tried them it would be great to hear some comments.

how many have blown up? and would they really blow up or more like leak?

i think its probably better to get one of those portable laptop batteries that might work, they have them in external and i think for regular 120v so you could plug charger, though it would be very nice if they had a usb plug for charging directly im not sure how to convert them but most of the ones i have seen are 120W not sure how that goes in mAh

if you want buy battery from china, pls contact me,
thanks

what i want is a fully pinned 11 pin usb male connector (for soldering reasons, or one with all the pins attached to wires) im sure a lot of ppl here would be intrested in that... hmm custom 1/8 stereo usb charging/data and oh did i mention mic ya i would put that in a docking cradle esp for car one
thats what i want

so any anyone use this battery? i'm thinking about buying one

Dear Doug ,
Give this China battery manufacturer a chance first before you comment it is a ' Cheap **** ' product . There are many made in USA ' Cheap **** ' products too ( both cheap and expensive ) if everyone needs to look for it to prove to others - right ? You are being prejudice against made in china product just because it is cheap - do you know how much money manufacturers make on producing it's product ? Just because this particular company chooses to make less profit and to sell at a minimum price doesnt mean it is a **** product - please get this inside your mind ! Please be fair in your comments - thanks and regards - jimmunsw

Quite alot of batteries are made in china nowadays. >.> Even the battery in ya newly brought laptop is probably made from china.
like 60+% of LCD Panels are made in China. lol.
80% of the products in your home probably contains parts made ini china.
Not everything made from china is bad. Nowadays everything is made in china.

Avoid going off topic.
Anyway, that first one looks nice. And 10,000mAh should be more than enough for 1 whole day of full use of any device.

[Q] Iphone style music dock for Captivate

. .

I doubt they would have anything for the Galaxy Phones since the Jack and USB connection in that case is normally on the TOP of the phone (like the Captivate)
You'd have better luck modding and building your own. Considering the phone doesn't do upside down portrait at all oddly. I doubt it would be nearly anything like the iPod style docks since Apple did have the brilliance (the few times I do give them a compliment) of putting their major connector on the bottom of their mobile and portable products.
Although should such a product exist, I would be interested in seeing such thing maybe even purchasing one.

Mine does upside-down portrait just fine. (Though I think I'm quoting the wrong post, since I don't see the upside-down statement in your post.) (Nevermind, I see it now. Good, I am quoting the right person.) You have to go in display settings and enable 180-degree rotation or something like that. Some roms don't have that option, though so YMMV.
Samsung has done some good horizontal desk docks for it (once you register your captivate with samsung, it shows you a crapload of nice accessories) so it probably wouldn't be too hard to make one.
Easiest design would be to buy one of the horizontal desk docks, a small 3.5mm speaker set from Radio Shack, and drill a small hole in the dock to plug them in, then attach the speakers to the dock.
Could be done for under $50 if you use the Samsung official dock, way less if you use one from ebay or amazon.

Get the kind that is just an empty drawer and a headphone cord. Phone's right side up and you've got speakers.
Something like this:

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.

Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App

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.

I have two of the exact charger from Amazon and neither one has a problem in my TB.

iHome Android Radio / Alarm Clock / Dock

Just thought I would share this. I spotted one of these Saturday @ Bed, Bath and Beyond. It really sparked my intrest, as something us Android fans rarely see the price is decent. I currently have it sitting on my desk @ work next to my monitor with my HTC Sensation on it.
I purchased this for my GS3 that arrives tomorrow, due to the center bottom port.
I will say without a case on it, it has a little lean in it. But nothing bad. I even tried my gf's HTC OG EVO last night and it had a little lean, but charged her phone and was quite sturdy.
Check it out!

Edit: I also had Best Buy price match Bed, Bath & Beyond. Saved me $10. Total of $50.00.
On a Rated Scaled I would give it a 4/5
Sound quality is great for an alarm clock or desk radio. Do not expect to listen to in multiple rooms.

Don't you have to plug in an AUX cable to utilize the speakers? Not much of a dock if you still have to plug another cord into the phone...

I hope the plug rotates.

Yes, it actually does. They tried to make it a little more universal for the broad amount of Android devices.
As previously stated. It does require the 3.5mm to be plugged in for Audio. I agree, it could have been a better design. But this will replace my need for a $20 Office dock and $20 desk radio. Just thought i would share, as i have never seen one before.
After a little research Phillips makes some also. But are much more pricey.

i've been looking for speakers for my bedroom for a while now. i want wifi, though. no cables or docking.

I cant believe there isnt much intrest for this?

The 3.5mm plug requirement kills it for me and for most others is my guess.

It's gotten bad reviews, and the fact that you have 2 wires coming out of your device is ridiculous. I really want to buy the official Samsung speaker dock, but it's too expensive for what I want.
This one may be worth looking into though: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/DA-E570/ZA
Haven't seen any reviews for it yet though. But it comes with an S3 dock and an iPhone dock built in and connects to audio via bluetooth.

Agreed. But that option doesnt have an alarm clock or radio. O well. Im actually pretty happy with mine. Regardless of the addtional 3.5mm needed. It works great. To each their own.

I'm not a big fan of having to plug in the audio jack as well, I'm looking at possibly getting the bluetooth Philips alarm clock
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips...87&skuId=3044077&st=philips alarm&cp=1&lp=12
A lot of complaints are about the app but you can use your alarm on the phone and connect via bluetooth and it comes through the clock from what I've read. A bit more expensive

[Idea] Wireless charger mod without altering the phone at all

I dont know anything about electronics but.... Can an power bank case be modded by attaching the wires of the inductor module to the male micro usb part of the case .... http://www.dhgate.com/product/3000m...battery-case/140149386.html#s1-8-1|3772011264 I think something like this would be a good candidate.... or better yet is there a case for n7000 like the iphone ones that act like a dock with built in speakers....etc it would be even better
Note: if any one goes commercial with this ... I want a cut of the action..... LOL

I just bought exactly that case with modding in mind, as built-in battery is almost non existant. I'm waiting for Palm charging kit and soldering iron - will be reporting progress or failure as soon as possible.

After some dremel action and removal of original battery.
The hole needed to be a little bit bigger than battery, to allow some space for sliding into "craddle" inside the case without breaking anything.
With said battery for comparision. Producer claims it's 3000 mAh. I respectfully disagree, after few days of regular charge/discharge cycle this sleeve battery as able to add about 30% to original Samsung cell. Not good enough.
So I jammed in extended Mugen pack and am a sort of crossroads here.
I can connect to the cases old wiring another battery pack or wireless charging coils or maybe, somehow, both. Anyway, it's work in progress and at least my Notes usb port is save >]
On semi related note, this is tempting..

Any updates?

No update still now.
