[KEYBOARD] Ultra Compact Mini Bluetooth Keypad

Hello everyone,
Its me again, I have just ordered a keyboard called Compact Bluetooth Keyboard from chinavasion. It is the first keyboard I have ever bought for a Smartphone. One of the reasons was since the size of the galaxy S2 is so compact, it would be possible to attach an external keyboard with it using a swivel, or sliding mechanism.
Now I need feedback from all of you guys and would like you to come up with every possible alternative that can be opted for turning our Galaxy SII into a sliding keyboard. I did come across range of other Keypads, but they are all geared towards the Iphone. So in vain I would like you guys to suggest me if it is possible to attach an external keypad on it.
PS: I would like to emphasis on any user who is from China or any other asian countries where there is a lump market for this keyboard, if you see upon or know any manufacturer who makes a similar or modified device to post thier links here.​
Anyways here is the link to the keypad i bought ::::::::::

Well I am interested in getting something like a swivel that j can connect between the phone and the keyboard. Thus making it somewhat rotatory mechanism.

I'm interested... Compact bluetooth keyboards are handy especially if they are cheap and work well. Add to this the MHL cable and bluetooth mouse gets you an emergency presentation kit.
Can always just link it to my PS3 too...

Got nice BT keyboard of ebay - under £10 delivered, mhl from mobilefun, zeemote from amazon and mouse from 7dayshopper on ebay all working great. will post more details if required when back at pc.

sound nice. tell how much did u shell out and if possible take a picture of all of 'em.

I'm interested and subscribed.

+1 Looks great

yah i know ;D ETA is 12days, so hold on to your horses video and review soon.

has any of you guys found any docks or extension plugs to hold the phone and the keyboard together ?

Exactly the type of KB I am after, so I'll be waiting for the review .
As for mounting it to the phone I would have thought that you could do something with a hard case, some thin metal strips and epoxy glue would give you a mounting system for typing on...

I cant wait to find out how much battery power this thing uses.

Stop how do you intend to put this on the SGSII?

I can't imagine mounting it to be pragmatic what so ever. Definatily possibl with fibreglass or polyurithane(sp?) Maybe he knows an automotive bodyman who can help him out.
I suppose battery life is the same as regular bluetooth connection right? And the device itself should last a while. Pretty neat gadget. I could really see myself using it on a tablet. If only I had one

Charging port

Geez, my nephew is having issues with his charging port again. Anyone else having issues with it a second time? His cat is to blame, whatever that means. It's charging, but won't work on computer.

I've always been more of a dog person...
...However, due to the nature of the Inc2's charging port (namely that it sucks), it is totally believable that it broke again.

You all are hilarious. I know my older sister will be pissed because its it will be the second one. Anything not apple is inferior. Let the apple flaming begin. At first, she thought it was because we rooted and unlocked the phone. LOL

Have you tried a different cable? Some cables are made to only supply power, sometimes cables just fail because of cats and their diabolical ways.
If she wants an iPhone, let her get one. I am preparing to push my wife to get one. I just think she'll be happier with it. Ain't no shame in this game. I will only be reinforced in my dislike of Apple if my wife gets one, but the point is she should like what she gets.

All women should use iPhones. They are easier to comprehend.

Yes I tried two different cables and it computer won't recognize phone. It will still charge using the charging plugged into outlet, but not into computer. That is a sign that it is going bad. To make matters worse, i need to fix his screen. He just broke it on saturday. Geez.

Hopefully Nokia will bring us a phone. They've been incorporating wireless charging stock. With that and wireless adb, you would never need a cable again! And they have cameras better than anyone else!

plus it's a nokia. do i need to bring in some nokia memes to prove how tough it'll be?

ive gone through 2 inc2s with faulty charging ports. current one is loose and looking like it's going to go the same way.

What's the status on the cat?
Sent from my vivow using xda app-developers app

Still alive. I'll report back on how my nephew does on replacing the cracked screen. He is mechanical, but i think i might be supervising the fix. It was pretty cheap to get the parts $17.95 on amazon for the screen + digitizer, t5 & t6 torc screw & pry tool, & adhesive tape. I thought that was pretty cheap.

Finally got the parts needed for a USB repair on one of my Inc2s! seems like a common issue on Inc2 after x amount of time.

Yes, it is impossible.
Those plastic strips aren't nearly enough room. The charging coils required for wireless charging are about 2.5" in diameter, and the entire circular area would have to be plastic.
Either way, I think the only device that got wireless charging right was the Touchstone anyway, so it's no big loss to me.

I wouldn't call it slipping off the dock and not having any method of ensuring the device is orientated to be "working perfectly". Seriously, the Touchstone's magnets were a large part of why it wasn't a gimmick.

The Palm Touchstone isn't Qi compatible, so unless you mod the palm coil into the Nexus 7, it won't work.

Honestly is is that hard to plug it in? Not trying to sound judgmental here, everyone has the right to want what they want but I just don't see the draw here. It isn't like it's portable, it's still in an outlet. You get to pay 50 bucks to skip the annoying, always difficult *plug into device* step? This seems ludicrous! Is there something I am missing here?

It will eliminate the chance of breaking the fragile micro USB port if the tablet is accidentally knocked off or dropped while connected.

Never thought of that! I have never dropped anything in my entire life even as a baby, but I have a 3 year old! Might be worth buying a cheap charger if I can find one for like 15-20 bucks

Charging just fine on my Fatboy Nokia charging pillow.

You have to center it in landscape on the nexus 4 wireless charger but it works perfectly as reported earlier

Wireless Chargers

My dislike for charger wires eclipses the sun itself so I'm eager to purchase a wireless charging pad for my Nexus devices. Anyone have any experience with the ones listed on Amazon (can't post links yet)?
The Anker Qi charging pad looks like it supports the N7, but it's a bit expensive.

Verizon has an LG one that is only 39.99. I may give it a shot...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

As Google went with a standardized Wireless Charging System (Qi), it makes it easier to find one that will be compatible. Unfortunately it seems that I cannot find any stores that carry chargers so I will need to look online.

I bought one of the Nokia wireless chargers . I'll get back when I have the tablet and test it.

My LG charger doesn't work at the moment (also purchased from the Verizon store). My N4 charges just fine with the charger. I know the LG charger is a little small but I expected it to work. I actually have two of the chargers and neither work. I am stock unrooted and updated to the latest build.
Any one else have problems with wireless charging?
Update: I exchanged my N7-2 at Best Buy and received a fully functional device. I can confirm the WCP-300 charges the N7-2. In my experience, it only charges when the charger is centered on the back of the N7-2, and you have to hold it there for a second or two.

I have an owlpad which works for the n4....no joy on the new nexus 7. I can find one spot where the light on the unit turns from green to red which means it should be charging but the nexus 7 never goes into charging mode...within 10 seconds the light on the charger goes green again.

Sorry for the pictures craptastic pictures lol, but it shows off the angle well. It sits even more firmly on the orb than the N4 (I'm guessing the glass back on the N4 just makes it more prone to slipping). The N7 doesn't slide at all while on the orb, had it charging through the night with no problems.
