Can't find any good charging docks that would be useful for this phone. Most I find have a usb pin for standing the phone on the dock, a la iPhone. But we as know Samsung cursed us with a charging port on the top of the phone.
Anyone know of any charging docks we can use with this phone that also has a slot for a spare battey?
I just bought one from samsungs website. Costs about $50. Phone docks in sideways for use with the desk home app.
Sent from my SGH-T959
I've searched Amazon and this forum but haven't seen what I'm looking for yet.
I'd like to buy a dock that has the standard micro-USB but also has a 3.5mm audio jack output and the ability to charge a spare battery. Has anyone seen something like this?
I've found docks that do one or the other, but not both.
Also needs to work with a phone case.
Hi,
Just received my Mugen Power Batteries's Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3. The dock is identified by the code [KDG-LXC-SI93] and it's the dock with the second slot for a second battery.
With the dock I received a charger (1A output) with a USB-to-MicroUSB cable.
The Dock has a good build quality and it's nice to see on my desk. The price is low and the charger with the cable in the package let you to set the dock and you could use it without move its.
You could see some photos in the attach files. I think it's nice to see the dock with the Galaxy S3, don't you?
You could find it at http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html . The price is 24,95 $.
For additional Photos e for an italian review: http://technologyandroid.com/2012/08/recensione-ecco-la-dock-per-il-galaxy-s3-secondo-mugen-power/
Can it be used with a bigger battery? Or just for OEM?
I was going to buy this dock

It looks so similar to yours, but a different brand - wonder if its the same
edit: looks to be the exact same but without the battery dock!

Whether it recognizes the phone and automatically puts it into desk clock mode.
Im not sure if there's been a new development on this or not but I didnt get find anything.
These Qi Receivers like:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item1c3375487b
The qi wireless charging mod seems a little too complicated. Now that we have these receivers has anyone tried fitting one to the S2?
I know they arent made for it and there are special connect points in teh S3 S4 and the such but cant an end be splayed open and put in between the 1st and 4th connectors where the battery makes contact with the phone? It would be a little difficult to force fit it but it would be snug and not likely to move and fits over the battery well. Has anyone tried any of this?

Qi Wireless Charging
Hi, I just bought a Qi Wireless charger & Charging Cover and its pretty cool! I bought it from the Bitmore UK site.
They have a wide range of Qi (wireless charging) Devices and the one I bought for my S3 is universal. You can charge any qi enabled devices on this pad.
Just search for: BITMORE Qi Charger
So Im in desperate need of at least one more Wall charge for my galaxy note 8.0 and Galaxy S4. The only problem is they're either pretty expensive for the more legit products, or sketchy. I just need the white box part that goes into the wall outlet. SO incredibly embarrassing and frustrating that I can't seem to figure out what it's actually called. In any case, through my searches I found this:
Qmadix 4.4A USB Triple Travel Charging Hub
It allows for three ports, but each port is designated differently. well, okay... two are the same (1A), but ones different (2.4A). I have no clue about electricity, except to know if you don't use the samsung recommended converters it could damage the battery in the long run. Im under the impression that both of my devices require 2.0A. Does this mean only the 2.4A port would work?
Is anyone familiar with this Item Ive listed? Could I use this device to power bot my Galaxy Note 8.0 AND Galaxy S4 at the same time?
It seems like such a great deal and very compact. Can't pass up without at least asking about it.
again, Im asking about the:
Qmadix 4.4A USB Triple Travel Charging Hub

I appreciate the reply. I had actually seen that and immediately fell in love... but I just as quickly wrote it off because of the additional cable thats required to plug it into an outlet. I need something more compact... something with collapsible prongs.
Another one I was looking at is this one iXCC Dual USB 4.2 Amp (20 Watt) SMART High Capacity AC Travel Wall Charger...
Any thought?
Ports listed as 1A might still be able to supply 2A for your phone, but they might be right at the top of their current limiting (thus running warmer). The whole thing about using only Samsung provided charger is just to scare you off so you buy their original overpriced accessories But there is a truth to it as well, when you buy cheap stuff from ebay where they sell 1A rated outputs labeled with 2A and can run into a problem above (overheating, which causes short, which can cause a damage to your phone). Anker is a trusted brand with a decent quality control, RAVPower is good, and I heard of QMadix before as well.
Here is a problem. When you are dealing with wall outlet converters with multiple outputs that carry a lot of heat/power, you are too close to the main electrical outlet. So, I would be careful not too overload these. Maybe using 2 devices plugged in at a time is ok, but NEVER 3 at a time. When you have something like that 40W Anker converter, you are placing it away from the outlet, it exposed to air circulation from every side (cooling it better), and it should have some fuse or internal protection in case of a short. I understand, for convenience you need wall converter that plugs in, but make sure you get a double one, not the triple output one because i would consider those to be not as reliable when you are charging 3 devices at the same time while plugged into a single wall outlet directly.
Anker also make this one: www.amazon.com/Anker®-4-Port-Charger-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00EI8SS4U/ - but I would not load more than 2 ports at a time. Or if you load 3 or 4 ports, make sure it's not overnight when you are sleeping and that all 4 charging devices are not drawing max current
Btw, one quick question... The Anker 40W 5-port USB wall charger... Should I only charge 2 devices at a time with it aswell? or was that referring only to chargers that plug directly into the wall because of the heat issue?

You can use all 5 ports on that one (40W version that doesn't plug into wall outlet directly). That how I do it all the way, mostly using 4 ports at once to charge my Note 2, my Metawatch smartwatch, my mp3/DAP player, and external battery. Sometime also add my wireless headset too
