USB Dock Station for Galaxy Note for only $6.78 + Free Shipping

Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.

I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.

I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

I don't blame you.
But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

There are some docks now appearing which have removable rubber inserts which claim to accommodate the Note with a Gel/TPU case, e.g.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Desktop-C...-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i9220-AC32-/170817592805
Anybody tried one?

Thanks.
BTW I offered the seller 5.99 ea. for two,he gave me $6.49 for TWO.
So try offering him lower price. not a huge saving but hey dosent hurt to try!

Looks like .. let us know your review once you get it and i will give it a thought .. (am also in India)
Just read the description on the eBay page and looks like it ships only with the cradle and no cable included ...

MHL dont work!
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

I have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.

i like it, but can't buy, because i'm living in vn, so......

Wireless Charger Question

I've had a Nexus 7 since they launched last year and I just got the new one on Wednesday. I'd like to get a wireless charger, will any wireless charger work or do I need to look for specific attributes?

As long as it is designed for the Qi standard it should work. I have a LG WCP-300 and I used it to charge the Nexus 7 I bought for a friend. It worked fine, but since it's so small the tablet was poorly balanced on it. That charger is at some Verizon stores for $40 + tax, and Verizon online for the same price with free shipping. The WCP-300 comes with it's own power supply.
I have seen good reviews for the new Samsung wireless charger, it's $50, but it may still be available for half off. You'll need to get a separate power supply, but I think it probably needs to be 1.8 or 2 amp output. It's also larger, so the tablet won't tend to rock or slip off as easily on the LG charger.
You can see threads on both of those qi chargers over on the Nexus 4 accessories threads.

The Panasonic TM-101 is simply fantastic. Toss your tablet anywhere on the pad - and the pad will find it. Will charge multiple devices - sequentially. Nice to have a tablet that is always charged now.

the nexus orb has been great with the 7. my 4 will slide of frequently but I've had no problems with the 7

I bought the Samsung charger with 50% off coupon and so far, it works with original nexus(2 amp) plug, 2013 Nexus(1.35 amp) plug, iphone 4s/5 plug(don't know what amp).
I like that I can lay the Nexus down cross ways to see the charging indicator led come on, also works with i-blason folio case on the Nexus.
So I lay it down to see the led come on, hear the little tone from Nexus telling me that's it's charging, I close the magnetic cover and turns the screen off. I wake up next morning and it was fully charged from ~20%.
So, I'd say the Samsung charger with 50% off coupon is worth it. I think they are backordered right now though.

Any Qi charger should work. The Samsung 50% off deal is nice bout out of stock.
I JUST FOUND THIS, AT&T has the Nokia DT-900 at half off currently. That's $24.50 plus tax.

I have read that the Panasonic TM-101 will stop charging once you device reaches 100% then not touch it again to keep up the charge as the phones drains in sleep mode. Something that most other chargers do. That would just bug me.
Even though it cool, I'll be satisfied with the Nokia DT-900 I paid $25 for, and eill keep my device topped off.

Looks like you already made your choice, but I was going to put in another vote for the Panasonic TM101.
I also have a Nokia DT-900, which looks nice and is compact. The only problem is that the Nexus 7 is large compared to the charging plate, and it'll take a bit of practice to perfectly center your tablet onto the charging plate when you can't really see the charging plate under the tablet.
The Panasonic one, as you've probably read by now, automagically positions the charging coil via motors to line it up with your device. The coils light up when they move, so you can visibly see the charging coils as they center behind your Nexus 7. You can hear the motors working, but it's only about as loud as a quiet inkjet printer, so it doesn't really bug me at all.
As far as cases are concerned, you should be fine as long as the case isn't made of metal, and as long as the case isn't too thick. After experimenting a bit with placing a magazine between my N7 and the charging plate, you can get away with about 1/4" of space and still be able to charge.

Also, if you put two devices on the Panasonic, it will charge one and then move over and charge the second. I also read - somewhere - that when one of them drops down to 90%, it will charge again. Unproven by me, since my tablet is always fully charged when I pick it up. Loving it - neatest gadget I have bought in a long time.

I'm not sure what your talking about. I just roughly center my N7 on the Nokia DT-900 and it charges. I'd have to be grossly off for it not to charge. As long as I'm placing my N7 on the charger and not tossing from 2 feek away it works flawlessly. Something must be wrong with either your N7 or your charger.

If that's true, that sounds great. But read or saw a video review that said the opposite. I don't own the Panasonic TM-101, so I don't know which is correct. Maybe someone who has first hand knowledge can chime in.

the link doesn't work, the brand is not mentioned, neither the model... Bad post man

fixed link - http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot%C2%AE-Inductive-Compatible-Including-Smartphones/dp/B00F6SPYJS

Bought this when it was on sale for like $14.99 by the same primo-superstore guys. Great qi charger. It does BEEP when you first put the phone on but doesn't keep BEEPING once the phone is fully charged like some others.
Very low noise beep tho', so not really a big deal. There's also a tiny LED light on the front of the charger for indication. It did not come with an AC adapter so you'll have to supply one. But it did came with a long and a short micro USB cable. I suppose one is for connecting to a wall charger and the other one for your computer. It does charge just phone if you hook it up to the computer USB port, although much slower.
Best $15 buck I spent all year.

Bought the same or similar one from FastTech and am waiting for it to come in. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Does it keep the Nexus 5 at 100% when you charge it overnight or does it completely stop charging once it reaches 100%. Does the phone/battery get hot when using this charger?

Ya it works with my digitronic case no problem and the beep actually really helps letting you know its charging. Ya I know there is no brand and sorry for the bad link but I have both the official nexus charger and this one seems way better I can just set it down hear the beep and its good to go where the nexus charger I always have to double check the placement when I put it down.

What happens when the phone reaches 100% and you leave it on the charger (As would happen when you're charging it overnight). Does the charge remain at 100%?

Yes it remains at 100% and does not beep all night like other ones it has been working great so far. I read a lot of people having trouble with these types of chargers they would charge then it gos to 99% then back to full and beeps on a cycle all night long but I have not experienced that with this charger. I don't know if this one on amazon is different then other ones sold on eBay they all look the same but so far the one from amazon is good. I'm almost thinking about returning the nexus charger to Google because I don't use it anymore.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I bought one too and I like it a lot. I can charge my nexus 5 (via Qi), Nexus 7 FHD (USB, 2.1A) and Dell Venue 8 pro (usb, 1A) simultaneously while charging the internal battery.

Just ordered one. It says 17-28 days, which is a while, but I'm not in a hurry

Does it have the magnets though that the nexus charger has? That's really why I wanted to buy the nexus one.

I got this last week. I used velcro to stick it to my car mount. I had to remove the rubber rings from the top and bottom to make this work.
It does not have magnets. The magnets in the official charger set it apart from most other Qi chargers.
It works well with my Dizitronic TPU case

FYI - Here's the Fasttech model. I can confirm that this works with both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Fast charging, and no beeping all night. For those people having trouble with beeping, try being more precise with placement... I find on the Nexus 4, that if I put the charger dead center on the body of the phone, it will beep continuously. If I offset the charger about 1/2" towards the micro-USB port on the phone, the beeping stops and it charges perfectly. The Nexus 5 seems less picky about placement, the sweet spot seems to be quite large in comparison.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006012/1462103-t200-qi-wireless-charging-plate
I bought two, and really need to buy about five more. They're awesome.
Oh, and to answer someone else's question, no magnets for the N5... but flat on a desk and with the large sweet spot, it doesn't seem to matter.

I have this one too. It's worked well for me as a magnetic car dock (had to add the magnets). I hated the Beep sound whenever it became misaligned so I popped it open and found the speaker.
It's the tall black thing in the middle-left of the attached image. If you pop off the top plastic lid of that little black thing you can remove the little metal circle that sits inside it and it stops the beeping. If that's an issue for anyone else...

Hi. I bought the same and works well. I think the bip sound is a good thing because sometimes the position from the phone is incorrect. In this case no bip

There's already several tutorials on how to do it. But I bought these from Amazon and they work great. Needs non-slip grip though so I used one of those silicon Smartgrip dash mats I bought at the container store on top of the magnets. Works great. Here's the tutorial I used though. And a picture of my charger now.

Wireless Charger ?

Hi,
I just received my Sony Smartwatch 3 and something looks weird to me. The charger plug is located in a not convenient location. So I'm wondering if an inductive charging is possible and what charger model would be compatible.
Thx.

no chance. Just have to fiddle with that bad boy. a cradle would help. I'd think a third party could develop a qi charging plate/case that you could leave plugged in. Something like this but sized correctly.

I really wonder why they didn't put magnetic charging contacts on one of the edges of the watch unit. Would have been so convenient since I already have Sony docks and USB cables with magnetic ends.

See I completely disagree. I like the fact that Sony have just made the charging by micro USB. So I only have to carry one charger that does my watch, phone and tablet. The positioning of the port is inconvenient, but I believe it is where it is so it is unseen and doesn't rub against your wrist. What they really need to package with the watch is a cable that is a decent length that has a right angle plug at the watch end to make it easier to insert.

This made my life a little easier:

Well they probably could have done both, I would have liked Qi as an option in addition to the uUSB. But oh well. I counted it as a trade off for the nascent nfc and wifi.

Yesterday, I took my new Smartwatch 3 and inserted a Cisno Ultra Micro USB Magnetic Adapter Charger Cable. It works! What's more, even with the charging port's rubber flap bent backward, my wrist can't feel any difference; I'm using the metal (stainless steel) band and don't own the rubber band to test it with.
Here's a stock photo of the Cisno adapter attached to a phone:
I assume that any magnetic adapter that looks like this will work; in fact, the Cisno turned out to be a Wsken. That irked me: I specifically bought the Cisno because the seller claimed it's strictly for charging, not for data, and I didn't want to risk that my Sony watch or my Sony Z Ultra GPE phone would interpret the charger to be in data mode. In any case, the watch's battery charged rapidly, going from 1% to 100% in about 25 minutes.
For anyone who is considering the Sony Smartwatch 3 but finds micro-USB charging too much trouble, a magnetic charger is a game changer. Just remember that it requires a proprietary 3ft cable; you'll probably want to buy extra kits so you'll have additional cables for the office, the car, and your travel kit. I haven't found kits that offer a longer cable.

Really very very easy to use and plug the sw3 for charge. It does not even bother wrist. Also very usefull for a phone in car, easiest to connect the usb cable in the dark.

Great idea. Thanks. Search were I van buy it in the Netherlands.

I bought it in ebay.
This model is a mini usb port. I see also some model for iphone and ipad

Looks like a winner.

Just got mine - putting the adapter into the MicroUSB port was kind of scary as you have to press really hard (and might break something). I am really happy in the end though - makes charging so much easier.

I got mine from Tinydeals for under $4. I can confirm, the adapter doesn't bother me. All I need now is to find a replacement metal band.

clever! would it affect the water resistance though, having the rubber flap open like that? I went for the right-angled micro usb cord and it has been great so far.

certainly broke water resistance

Does anyone have a line one a good Qi Car charger?

Is there a fast (qi fast) charger for the car with decent retention? I really...really need one haha

Not cheap anymore, but the Samsung one is the best I have found. I have 4 of them in my fleet. Only thing is I recommend a 90 degree down bend micro USB cable for neater appearance.

On a couple of cars, I bought the appropriate ProClip mount for the car, and then cut the arm off of the base of the charger, and JB Welded it to the Proclip mount.

I believe both the S6 and S7 have in settings a check box to enable or disable fast charging. But does Android actually have a way of telling anyone when it is actually fast charging verses not fast charging? I never seen any messages like that. I have the other Samsung Qi charging pads - the one that is flat and the newer one that is a stand and never seen any messages indicating they fast charge. And even when I plug it in to the stock USB charger there is no indication it is fast charging. So how does one actually tell?

Interesting, I bought that a while back and it didn't fast charge my Note 5 so I returned it. Plus the back doesn't support my setup so I didn't wait to test on the S8+.

Just used it last week. Gave the notification it was fast charging, and the time till full. Seemed to work great for me. Only problem I have is the vent clip doesn't work on the vents in my jeep.
That would be specific to the vehicle though

When you say you're very happy with them on your S6 / S7, does that mean they fast charge them? Please confirm if it does when you're S8 arrives.

My S8 Plus arrived today. The charger I recommended above does NOT provide any messages that it is fast charging but I was not using a factory Samsung charger. I switched it to a factory Samsung charger, but still the same. The cord I have to use not factory either because the factory one is too short and I have heard sometime those can cause the fast charging not to work. Seems pretty slow charging so whatever I have setup here is not fast charging capable it seems. So YMMV.

Easiest thing s do what I did. Find a Radio Shack going out of business, get a disc style charger and a Samsung fast car charger, gut the disc, cut it down and install it somewhere under a cubby hole or console. I did it in my Mercedes, first in the cubby hole under the stereo in a single DIN arrangement, then moved it to the arm rest in the console running a cable off the cigarette lighter. Car chargers aren't easy to find for Qi, so i got inventive and made my own.

I haven't been able to find a single car charger worth a damn, including the 80 dollar samsung. I'm thinking of the charging pad mounted in my console as well. Ugh wish someone would make a decent car charger that's wireless

Like stated before, this one is fairly cheap for what it is. You get two style of mounts. If you have a jeep like me, you will probably have to use the window mount. When I used my rental last week which was a Nissan sentra the vent mount worked great.
It definitely does fast wireless charging as long as you use a compatible charge input. My radio didn't have enough output and did regular speed wireless charging. Used the cigarette charger output that came with it and tada fast wireless charging. As the pics show on my Verizon s8 plus

Any Qualcomm 2.0 adaptive fast charge works

Idk about it doing quick charge I'll check into it, but I've had this for 2 years in my car.

I use the iOttie Qi mount and it works well.

I got this one yesterday. How can I prove or disprove that it is truly a fast charging wireless device? Should I let my phone get down to a really low percentage (and what would that be)? I'm happy with the setup. Long micro USB cord, both dash and vent mount (I'm using the vent mount, works fine in my Sienna). Even though I've only have it a day, it did top up my phone from 92% to 100% in a 5 minute drive.
Update May 8: when I put the phone in the charger it briefly indicates on the the screen that it is Fast Charging.
I'm really satisfied with this setup.

I ordered this one today. I was looking for one that went in the vent and noticed it comes with a bracket for this. I went with the $40 3 coil version (probably over kill) but I was either paying $5 for one day prime shipping on the $30 one or pay $40 with free one day shipping for the "better" version. Figured $5 extra for the next level one wasn't going to kill me. I previously used the Scoche magnetic vent dock but it interferes with my wireless charging at home. Once I decided I needed a new dock for the car, I figured I'd go with a wireless charger to get the job done. Love that it also comes with the clips to organize the wire clutter a bit too.
