The cradle for the Wizard / Cingular 8125 works...
I purchased a BoxWave desktop charger for my Wizard and just tried it with the Touch and it fits perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Cingul...6630?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1185404711&sr=8-1
The charge jack can also be flipped around (remove 6 screws and reinstall) to work with a P3600, P4350, TyTyn/Hermes.

i bought 2 of that cradles... Price for one Cradle is 14,80€, i think thats ok!

Moco-Service seems not to be professional! Sent them a few mails with requests, but no reply... BAD

Any other cradles out there, specifically available to ship in the US?
Thanks

I registered for an update on BoxWave (for upcoming HTC Touch accessories) and received an email today. They now have a cradle....
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-touch-accessories_2727.htm

I found like 3 or 4 different cradles now, all suitable for the touch, but what I'd really like to see is a cradle with integrated 3.5mm jack
Actually the following as a cradle...
(from amazon)
Do you think something like that will be available anywhere soon? I already thought of purchasing that and somehow "build" a cradle areound it.
I've got the exact same functionality in my >5 year-old MDA (I?) cradle and it's really useful.

I'll second that thought!
I'm going to crack the one I got from Brando (see my earlier post here) with a penknife and plug my HTC adaptor into it myself.

I have two different HTC Touch cradles available: one with spare battery charger, and one without (see pictures attached).
The small cradle (no additional battery charger) is US $15.
The cradle with additional battery charger is US $20.
Shipping to just about any country is US $8.
PM me if you would like more details / would like to order one.

Looking for folks that actually own a cradle and can report back what they like/don't like... and which one they ended up buying?
The cradles for the touch don't look very - how you say - sleek? Very old school for such a nice phone

I like the looks of the boxwave cradles but here's another one that charges from the usb.

I agree.
I'm really disappointed with the cradles I've seen. They're not attractive to me.

I have this one and have found it to work very well

Third party 5 to 11 pin MHL adapter?

Just ordered this from eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Galax...915?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d55df8ab
But has anyone else bought the same adapter from anywhere and does it work?

Hi can you share the result once you got it . Thank you
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Will do.

I just received the samsung adapter today from amazon for 8.00 works perfectly
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Does it have all 11 pins? The OEM doesn't have the data pins in the USB part (2 and 3) and I am looking for a fully populated 11 pin adapter.... for modding.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Just got it today and my Tv shows it's outputting at 1080i and everything's fine with the A/V sync.
And it's difficult to see the pins but all I can see is 5 pins on the male and female sides.

I just bought a s2 mhl cable and an 11 to 5 adapter, all working fine.1080i 60hz the tv says
the adapter is the short metal type, it has all pins populated and a small pcb between the connectors, great for modding..
this is same as mine, my seller seems to have gone.....

heres how they get 11 pins on the new style plug...

OK I have now opened another 5 to 11pin connector, this is the moulded plastic variety...
This is an image of what mine looks like, but i did not use this supplier, i just bought on ebay...
..and inside

I was thinking of getting an usb-hdmi adapter to connect the s3 to my hdtv sometimes. Since is just for ocassional use, i was looking for something cheap and i found this one on ebay:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Black-HDTV-HDMI-Adapter-Micro-5-to-11-Pin-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-/190827510197?pt=Other_Tablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item2c6e34b9b5
But i haven't found much reviews on it and since its so cheap im wondering if it works well.
Anyone bought this that can give me some feedback on it? Do you think its good enough or i should look for the more expensive ones?
Thanks

"Engineered form fitting edge to edge". In other words, you really have to take it out of the case to use it. I'm pretty sure I like the hole I drilled in the back of my Moko case better .

I wish the tray was a little bigger to accommodate cases. But I might just buy it lol.

Those with cases might not buy.

Common cases where the bottom part snaps off worked with the dock for the 2012 model, with the rest of the case dangling behind the dock. A dock could in principle work that way, although a quick look at the photos makes me suspect the back is too high for that to be an option here.
There appears to be no functionality other than charging? Audio output, anything at all? Without that I'm not sure I'd call this a "dock" rather than a "stand."

Yeah it is more of a stand but you dont really need a dock anymore. I have a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X Bluetooth headphones so no need for audio on the dock and i have a Seagate Wireless Plus 1tb wireless hard drive so when i get this dock / stand ill be able to use my nexus 7 to listen to music that is stored on the 1tb drive through headphones while the nexus charges without having a single cable connected to my nexus 7. Going to be awesome.

Nice. $50 bucks is a bit heavy for a dock. I know those Qi Chargers are expensive but I can't figure out why. I already bought the Samsung Qi when it was $25 and I don't even use it.
I can't think the innards of these Qi devices are all that complicated. I wonder if I could dismantle my Samsung and create my own dock. The Dock is the easy part. I actually really like my makeshift DVD case/tablet stand I made for the OG N7.
Stand looks nice and professional. Most Qi chargers are $50+. If I hadn't already bought one, I would be all over this. Might not fit with cases though because of the way it is designed. Not sure if the stand allows additional clearance to allow a case.

Offbrand Wireless Charging Orb

I found a nice wireless charger online, but due to the fact that I haven't bought a wireless charger before, I have no idea if the specifications it has are any good. Here's a link : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F9SKJN6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1E57UY6AMKO25

What do you guys think?

I bought the same one. Had it for about a week now, and with no problems charging the phone.
My only issue is trying to find a case for the phone that doesn't slide off the charger. Both spigen cases I have bought, the phone slides off after a few minutes. Without a case, the phone stays on beautifully. However, I like to keep my phone in a case all the time. Any suggestions?

Try attaching some thin magnets on the surface of the charger. You could alternatively buy some magnet tape and apply that.

I also found this one that looks fine but there are no reviews so I'm a little bit hesitant. http://www.amazon.com/PThink-Qi-Ena...e=UTF8&qid=1390259691&sr=8-6&keywords=qi+coil

That really depends on where the coils are located on that device. It looks like it should work, if you are going by the qi mark in the center, because the coil on the N5 is close to the center of the phone.
EDIT: I see they say it has three coils. If that is the case, then it's like the Tylt VU where it has three or so coils.

Those specs are good. It's the same 1000mA output as most Qi chargers. If the output is rated below 1000mA then don't buy it.

That's odd. I have the same off-brand (bought mine on NewEgg, but it looks to be the same one) Qi charger and I've not had any kind of slippage issues with mine.
Took it on a trip recently, and it held up just fine without slipping when I was using my Ringke Slim case. And-- needless to say-- I have no slipping problems when I'm not traveling, and go caseless on my N5.
I always did prefer the Nexus Orb charger look!

docking station

hi,
has anyone found a usable docking station for the opo?
all my docking stations that i have don't fit since the opo has the mini usb port in backwards %)
any suggestions?
thanks.

They are out there. A quick eBay AU search (located near Melbourne):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OnePlus-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3ce05c5e25
So there must be more out there!

free postage - I highly doubt that if I would ordered it (to Germany) but yeah - something like that. Now i just have to find a less geographically challenging solution.
But thanks for the suggestion.

EverDock
There is a company called EverDock that was on KickStarter, it features a DOCK where you can switch the plug from forward or reverse, plus you can either use it for Iphone, Ipad, Android Mini USB. There is also a dock they sell that allows two devices to be charged at one time. Here is a link

either way you can see you can use it for different products. I hope this helps. I have the single one.

Any docks made specifically for OPO?
That would be awesome. Been looking for that.
An ideal one would be made out of bamboo, and with bamboo back cover...

I really dunno if this works, but I found a suggestion in another forum: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/ there I was told this works with the OPO, too.

That one breaks really easily. I've gone through 2 already (removing the phone from the dock eventually breaks the pegs that holds the cable in place).

Can you tell me what exactly breaks on this docking station? which pegs? why at the cable? the cable is on the backside, how does something break there when the phone is being removed?

BTW, stations for the HTC One M8 should be compatible I was told. Has anyone experiences with this?
could this be an alternative?
http://www.amazon.de/Emartbuy®-Funktion-kompatibel-Docking-Ladegerät/dp/B00KC0X98I
or such a universal usb docking station - as long as the usb plug has the right direction?
like http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00JFLV3KG/ref=nosim/andrhilfdeand-21 or http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Do...e-Nexus-5-HTC-Desire-S-Desire-Z-/400802464581
Or is there more to watch out like angle of the plug or the distance to the backside?

Try this one.. It is compatible with OnePlus One.. i have been using this for the past 2 days without problem

it looks like the one from above: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/
but I am not sure: where does the phone have íts secure stand? Is the phone held by the usb connector only? My last shown examples above have a higher back, which can hold the phone very secure and protect the usb connector against the pressure when using the phone in the dock.

Check out the Lambda-Dock. The connector can be turned and its produced in germany...
