Xperia S Cradle (Stand) Show

When the Xperia P came out, I was hoping to get it just because being able to dock it into something. But that dream didn't come true and I bought the Lovely Xperia S and today I see that Engadget has a cradle for Xperia S (its not made by Sony but still)...Just don't know how would that flap allow this??

Hopefully. I have already contacted them (maker) to see when it will be out and I will report here as soon as I know. Have you guys found anything, other models?

Is there any dock that connect to hdmi port and hdmi output? It would better!

According to the Dutch Expansys, it's expected to be available on April 7.

I'm assuming the usb flap won't be an issue because it is indeed very flexible. If it is a problem, scissors work .

What would be better, would be a replacement flap with a hole for port in it.

I thought at first that a nice delete with proper opening would be nice so you would insert a plastic to take care of that ugliness + keep the hole for usb open. Its possible but just someone needs to design and manufacture the part.

I would like to see 2 USB openings. 1 for the charger and 1 for the USB on the go adapter cable.

Cradle
Hi,
did anyone bought the KiDiGi cradle yet?
i found another dutch supplier: pdashop.nl
for protection what do you recommend?
leather case: SE leather flipcase on expansys
or
protective shell: SE Protective Shell black

I foundout that sony released the LiveDock. Who is using it?
still thinking to buy a protective cover. Anyone some experience with leather flip cases or protective shells?

Yep, I would also be interested to hear any feedback on Sony DK10 Live Dock.

This Sony Smart Dock is available on Expansys and according to Phoneareana its compatible with the SXS Looking at the picture it must route the HDMI through the phones USB port.

Who Knows? The Phonearena article I linked to says it will work with the Xperia S, and they quote their source as Sony.
"The Xperia SmartDock is not exactly a new idea - we’ve already seen it demonstrated at CES with the AT&T-bound Xperia Ion, but news is that it will also be compatible with the latest in Xperia’s lineup - the Xperia P, Xperia U and the Xperia S.
The magic of the SmartDock happens on its back where all the ports are included - you have two USB ports to connect your peripherals, and an HDMI port for your TV/monitor. That’s definitely a neat idea given all that processing power lays in your pockets 90% of the time anyway, isn’t it?

As looking at the dock the P seems to be taking up the full slot in the dock, then there is no additional room for the S to fit in there. It was my belief that the S wouldn't fit in there, which does seem a strange choice for a flagship device.

Your right enough. They also have a Smart Dock for the Ion a few vids on youtube which I can't watch just now as on a low bandwidth connection. If you google "sony xperia s smart dock" they all come up.
I wonder if the USB & HDMI connections are on the same side of the xperia P & Ion. If so this might be the reason theres not one available for the S yet.

Here is a picture of the ION smart dock which shows both the Micro USB & HDMI connector on the same side
The only way to do it for the Xperia S would be if Sony enabled MHL for it so HDMI could be connected via the USB. Maybe when we get our ICS update this feature will be enabled and a smartdock released for the Xperia S.
If anyone has one of these MHL to HDMI cables they could test it with the Xperia S.
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------
gsmbuy lists the Xperia S as compatible with this MHL cable.
Does anyone know if the Xperia S is MHL compatible? If it is it would be easy enough to make a Dock.

Qi Wireless accessories

Just visited yijieneng over in zhenshen china to purchased these accessories, the prices are pretty reasonable, but as a bulk buy you can get them very cheap, bulk buy is like quanties of 100 to 300 depending on what items you buy.

Built-In Qi Receiver Galaxy S3
Just ordered a couple of these Qi Receivers, built into Samsung-Galaxy S3-like back door and is fully Qi compatible.They are simular to Verizon's Qi back door. However, it is not as thick (only added 0.04" or 1mm) and great fit for TPU cases/ Spigen Neo Hybrid, etc. This Qi back door charges perfectly even with TPU cases installed!! They are not modded with Touchstone or Powermat (neither one being Qi anyway) nor "homemade"...

Verizon Qi :
Yes, in the USA they do for sure (about $37 for the backdoor alone - in their stores and website) - and their Qi charger is actually the " LG " Qi charger. Disadvantage: LG emits alarm when fully charged...not for your bedside charging method...

qi charging question..

Just looking to get an opinion if something is due-able or not. The only thing i miss on my nexus 4 to my Htc one is wireless charging (qi charging) So i have been thinking of making a qi charging case for the htc one. This shouldnt be too hard... buy a mico usb male plug

You may encounter trouble because of the One's all-metal body. Your case will need to completely isolate the coil from the body for this to work, if memory serves me right. Admittedly, it is aluminum, so I'm not altogether certain it will be an issue.

I would really like to see something like this. A couple of challenges I think would be keeping the plug area on the bottom to as thin as possible and second would be to keep the case as thin and small as possible.
I wish you luck!

Post pics of it on the phone and let us know what kind of charger your using. It looks like you could rip off that coil and place it in any case if it's thin .

Definitely report on results. I tried to make something like this for my One XL, and while it worked as far as charging went, it was unpredictable and seemed to make the phone unstable, though I could never figure out why. I suspect it's not just the charging current but that the phone's charging circuits and drivers need to be tuned for wireless.

planning to replace my housing so wanted to see if while im doing that, i could use something like this inside the case or will it not work at all due to the metal?

you need the Type b for the HTC One, it seems to work but as it's only 500mA at 5V the charging is
going to be fairly slow
It is very slim and unnoticeable behind a tpu case, the connected usb does not stick out that far either

Thanks for letting us know about this. I'd not seen that, but it looks like just what I'd like to try and fit between my phone and case. The lack of wireless charging was the biggest reason I held off switching from my DNA to the One. I love the convenience of just plopping my phone on the orb charger during the day. The "type b" info is a big help. Much appreciated!

Works good, put it between my hardshell-case and the phone. Looks like the amazon-solution above is roughly the same
edit: Yeah, same as mentioned a few posts above... sorry for that. So, I can at least second that it fits quite well and doesn´t stick out much on the USB-Port

any idea how to use these universal receivers on my THL W8S?
my camera and my micro-usb port are in the same side, so the wire will cover my camera.
does anyone knows about an item that has longer wire so i can bend it around my camera?

this may not sound like the most logical idea, but isn't it possible to somehow use NFC for wireless charging, since NFC is about near field communication after all?

Nfc doesn't connect to the battery of the phone and the coil is not inductive as it is a derivative of close range rfid

A quick tip for the add on qi pads with the HTC one, as the USB is not in the middle you can't position the pad straight up or the curved back makes it hard to get a connection. Put it on a bit of a diagonal so the pad is in the centre of the back

I am using the T200 wireless charger. It is very small and It is working flawless with my Nexus 5. Also it still power the phone after the battery is full like an directly connected USB charger.
http://www.fasttech.com/product/1462103-t200-qi-wireless-charging-plate
It is also working well with my SPIGEN slim case (have just this case)

How about some thing like this? If you get a QI charger that has a battery pack built in you would not need to have the charger plugged into your car all the time and have to see ugly wires. Plus you can also charger your friends phones at the same time if they need. How do you plan on adding the wireless charger to your car dock? Seams like a fun project, good luck. Keep us updated.

The LuguLake is too wide to fit. Thanks tho.
I have a Proclip adjustable mount that has some space between the back of the phone and the front of the plate. All I am planning on doing is finding something that will fit in that space, double side sticky tape it and plug my existing (hidden) usb cable in to it. Nothing too fancy. Realistically, the only thing it gives me is the ability to slide my phone into the mount and get juice without having to go through all the trouble of plugging in the usb cable (joking, it's not saving me more than 3 seconds, but gives me bonus geek points).

If the specifications are accurate the T200 puts out 7.5W (5v x 1.5amp) whereas the WGP-300 puts out 5W (5v x 1amp).
I have no idea how that translates real world though. :silly:

Is Nillkin considered a brand name? They make a magic disk that is similar to the LG WCP-300. I've been trying to find reviews for it but am unable to.

These current ratings look like input not output...at least in T200 its 1.5A @ 74% efficiency which would be 1.11A, not sure about WGP-300

Looking for the perfect Qi auto Charger

Hallo everyone,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and I'm looking for a specific Qi Charger for my Automobile. I'm looking ONLY for a model that could be connected at the cigarette lighter receptacle, something like this one but with the Qi funktion. It would be perfect for me, someone knows where I could buy it?

I just made a Fotomontage und this is how it could be the look of the Qi charger that I got in my mind (of course with a Nexus 5 instead of the iPhone).

It's possible that it doens't exist a product like this?

There doesn't seem to be any kind of back to the cradle so can't even see if it's possible to make something for the coil. Would be brilliant if you could...similar to what I've been looking for.

Sadly I'm not an electro freak and I can't build it
I'm wondering how It could be possible that this product doens't exist in the whole planet...maybe are we wrong and someone knows one?

Maybe get an official Nexus 5 charger and a lighter outlet plug and fix something up with that. Since it has magnets in it, it should hold the phone in place pretty well.

I would suggest the official nexus Qi charger since it has adhesive capabilities so the phone does not slide off while driving....then find a usb cigarette lighter adapter to connect the charger to and you should be set. The nexus 4 charger has an adhesive surface and the nexus 5 charger has a magnetic surface to keep the phone secured to the phone.
I have not tried this...so use at your own risk but should work.

Something like this:

The nexus charger magnets don't seem to work with cases from what I've seen. I'm considering getting this dock and then attached the AirDock to the end. Bit pricey but should work well.

The solution i have came up with may or may not work for you since cars all have different interior setups.
So my set up consists of
-Nexus Wireless Charger
-Kenu Airframe Vent Mount
-Cigarette charger / micro usb cable
This works perfectly and not permanent in case you don't want adhesive disk on your dash or a suction cup on your windshield and have to reach for it.
Mount the well.. mount on your AC vent and then use that to hold the charger and run the cable from it to the cigarette lighter port and viola.
So far I've been driving with this for two days, using it as a GPS via Google Maps. Driving thru bad highways and still holding on strong.. Phone needs to be naked though.
Sorry.. I don't know how to post pics.. first time posting..

How about this? http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/LG-Car-M...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e8d32a5ea&_uhb=1
I've been using the Qi unit WCP-300 for quite some time (since Nexus 4). Stable and solidly built.

Haturaya, those products got always a usb cabel, i don't wont a cable all over my cockpit, that's why a solution like this one would be perfect, with a Qi charger instead of a USB connector.
I was interested in this model, but isn't compatible with the Nexus 5 'cause this one got the USB Connector inverted...
F**k!

At the end I just gave up the reserch of this perfect Qi charger and I bought this one (modified in the order to fit the big dimension of the Nexus 5)
I hope to see in the future this same model but with Qi charger, I would buy it immediatly.

shouldn't need the clamps its got magnetic mounts on the back. I want one of those

How sturdy is the cable? Does it wobble around when the phones in there?

The clamp is there 'cause I broke the support in order to fit the Nexus 5 dimension.

It woobles a little bit, but I could say that it's enought stable to use the phone without problems.

I want a magnetically held up one.

Do you have one? I'm tempted to get one with this mount, but I've heard mixed reviews about how it holds phones in cases.

I have one. It works great, without a case. Can't say how it works with a case but it is sticky and they include magnetic stickers that you can use to make anything stick to the mount. I use one of those with my wife's Galaxy Nexus (only as a mount, not a charger in that case.)
