Hi There!
Has anyone got any experience with particular cradle/docks from Ebay?
Ideally I think I would like a horizontal dock, but can do portrait.
The "USB-Sync-Cradle-Dock-Charger-Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-2" on eBay. (Since I've posted so little, I'm not yet allowed to post links).
I bought one'o these. Don't expect much of it, but I think it'll do what it's supposed to. I just hope there's some anti-slip rubber feet on it, so the phone can be used while mounted. Droidstuff.se (swedish site) has a very nice, special made Android universal dock in black metal (which everybody knows us scandinavians are very good at! ). It's pretty expensive, though, and availability is scarce.
Here is the one I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170633167683
I still haven't gotten it yet (even though I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago)... I will let you know what I think if / when I get it.
When it arrives, I'd be interested to know whether it looks like it'd work with a case on
ebay dock
I ordered that ebay dock, it came pretty quick, its ok for the money, it doesnt give a snug cutom fit but does just fine, i might actually order a sceond one as you can charge it from your pc/laptop or hook in a wall charger.
It look like theres enough room to work with a case but im not a big fan of cases so im unable to tell.

Thinking of that one, looks pretty good and it also charges a separate battery at the same time, however not in stock yet any thoughts?
I'd really want my device lied horizontally. Comfortable while watching movies But no such a dock in the offing.

1 already bought this one, two days on ebay. I dont like it at all as the phone sites in it almost upright, there isnt enough of an angle on it to use the phone comfortably, the angle is just too steep.
If you don't mind the angle the build quality is good otherwise.
I ordered one of these. Will report back when I get it.

Isn't that the one that doesn't actually charge the phone, though?
It charges a separate battery, lying flat in the base. But the phone simply sits in the base. Seems mad to me.
Edit: Yup, doesn't charge the phone. More pictures here. Removed link as I wasn't sure if linking to a retailer was permitted. Is copying their images ok?
I remember having a very similar dock to that for the M2000 (htc blue angel), battery charged in the back, but you could plug a mini-usb cable in to charge the device as well.....
Thats a big step backwards!

Just bought a similar one, hope it arrives soon to my country. Being used to connect my milestone to a dock is can't of weird now that i have the phone laying alone on the desk.

I'm waiting for the 1st dock. I'd rather get a samsung approved dock plus it looks well built and has line out and usb connection AND works in portrait/landscape.
Also eager about the car dock, until you linked this site I didn't know where to get the official Samsung one, so thanks man.

If you want to see both in action, I found a Danish video from a while back which happens to show the hdmi accessory

Don;t know if those links will work, if not just append watch?v=KTsUgetnGu8 to youtube.com

this is the same one I reviewed, too steep an angle, looks nice but uncomfortable to use.

No, but Radioshack needs to learn how to make a advertisement properly...if anyone clicks on the link and sees the picture they know what I mean
Yep......Vibrant/4G =/= i9000

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.
If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).
it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________
They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html
My powermat had finally come in and mine seems to fit fine.No wobble or anything!
I just got mine today fits with no problem at all and it is snug.... it works great i love it....

it isnt much bigger, the bump on the back is still there all it does is replace the back cover on the phone i can always take before and after pics if you want.....
I would love to see some pics. Also that tab that sticks up on the top, is it removable? Not really digging that. Thanks.

I mainly bought this tablet for school. I was looking into a good bluetooth keyboard with Android specific shortcuts like Home, Recents, Back and Menu. I was looking at the Motorola Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad seeing that it also has a trackpad. But I notice that it has a search button instead of Recents. Would I be able to remap the search button to work for Recents instead?
Also I was looking at stands. I prefer to have a stand alone stand and not a case/stand combo because I love the sleekness of this tab. I was looking at the Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand but it looks kinda flimsy. Last thing I want is this thing flipping over and breaking.
Can anyone give me some thoughts or other suggestions if need be?
Edit: I just seen the ErgoPROP Ergonomic Display Stand. I think I am sold on this one. Has anyone ever used this stand before?
I have this keyboard http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...089&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+android+keyboard, and I love it. It's case doubles as a stand.
I agree too, i bought ithe logitech and love it. I haven't tried other keyboards, but im pretty happy with the logitech so i dont think theres really a need to try a new one
I have two of the Arkon stands, which I use with both the Note and my ThinkPad - a heavier, bulkier tablet. The stand is not flimsy at all and has held up well in constant use. I've had the two stands for more than a year. Very portable, but also very sturdy.

I was going through the Website for Samsung India and found something which I would like to have.
Its not made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but was wondering whether this will work?
Bluetooth Keyboard with Book cover(P750) - BKC-1B1USBGINU
Please let me know whether this will work for us and i'll be very thankful.
Thanks.

You'd been saying a no, reason being the weight of the product?
The price is not the prime issue, my reason to vouch for it is it being the product by Samsung for Samsung...
I'm confused because there aren't a lot of products directly available in India
My reason is based on the size of the Note. It is bigger than the model that item is made for. That said, it's your $.
You were right.
I did little checking too with the local dealer.
Besides that, I even mailed the Customer Care at Samsung and asked them for details.
They have reverted back saying it is not compatible.
What would your suggestions for a keyboard case be like?
Are Samsung Guys at all planning for something like this?
I'm looking for one myself. Haven't found one I like, yet. Check out this thread for help. The first couple of posts are not helpful since they talk about one for the Tab, maybe even the one you found. The rest of the posts may be quite helpful, just depends.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865546
Hmm...
Its kinda sad but Samsung ain't taking a lotta effort it seems.
Hundreds of options (After Market) are available.
Belkin, Kensington etc... have organised accessories but I think / rather I would wait for Samsung.
Hope its not a LONG one...
Thing is, it's still kind of early. Could be Samsung is letting the aftermarket handle things. Who knows?
Think you're right.
Anyway its nice to know I'm not the only one on the lonely road.
I'm pretty sure though the options will be available in Europe / US markets comparatively earlier than India (Asia).
If so, can you be kind enough to inform me of the product?
Thanks.

Sure, if I find one and if I remember. I do taxes and we're heading in year-end and tax season. It's brutal.

I have an identical stand sold under a different brand name. I stopped using it when I got a ZAGGFolio for my old Tab 10.1, but since I don't have a proper keyboard/case combo for the Note 10.1, I'm using the stand again.

Because it is for the Tab 10.1, not the Note 10.1.
It's VERY well established that any case specifically made for the Tab or Tab2 10.1 will NOT fit the Note 10.1.

Thanks I ordered my arkon the other day I'm waiting for it to come in. I went ahead and got the motorola bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and I am in love with this keyboard. The build quality is great it feels nice and solid. Pairing is quick and easy and the mouse pad works great now i just need to find out how can I map the call button on the top right to bring up recents and ill be set

Yea thats it. Its a great keyboard so far. the only con so far is that it uses AA Batteries instead of having a built in battery. But I got a ton of rechargeable batteries so idc too much
So I wanna get this extended battery case I saw my friend had it from same company on iPhone 4s and it was impressive , even with LTE this should be pretty good I am just unsure if sch-i535 is same size as the i9300

80$ I will pass on that lol
I bought an ez battery from amazon 4200 mh... And it works like a charm. definitely double the life of my stock battery. I then bought a honeycomb TPU case and it fits pretty well, though I might mod it around the power and volume buttons. I still use the stock battery when I'm on a less serious Internet usage day

Oh man how do I start? Well I just wanna share to everyone how I feel!. It was almost a month of researching on forums, internet, videos etc on what should I get, either the note 2 or OGPro. Note 2 was my first choice because of slighlty better battery life, but I realize that OGP is just way better on every aspect .Very smooth UI, no lag, and the display is awesome!!
I already got some accessories for my OGP. I got the external wall charger from ebay, the Hyperion slim battery from amazon, and this awesome flip case with stand! Name of the flip/stand case is Nilkin btw, I just checked amazon and the only thing available now is from china, coz I ordered one from a Us seller and got it really fast like 3 days after I ordered it.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DFMGBOO/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Then my zerolemon slim battery w/ charger should be delivered this monday also..
Can it be monday already?!!! And oh! I will get my OGP for Free also LOL

I was in the same boat as you, and man i ditched the note 2 idea the second i actually held the device and played around with it. Instant sell right there, its a shame its not promoted out the A like the galaxy series is. I get slightly annoyed when someone says oh wow a note 2! lol
Mine should here next week, and I can't wait either. I want to see how it will compare to my Note 2. The screen does look much better than the Note 2.
A bit diffrent here, i was choosing between S4, htc one or optimus G Pro..and found g pro suit my preference...and I love it. Having played with S4 for a while...I like this one better
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
Well my original picked was htc one also, then I went to atnt to check it out and I felt the screen is too small now, plus I dnt think I can live with it since i like phonea w/ removable battery. Then it came down to juat note 2 ans OG. If i picked note2 im gonna pay $200 while ill grt oGpro for free since my s3's trade in value is around a 120. Plus coming from s3 to note 2 wont feel anything different except bigger screen and the stylus.

You gonna love the ogp. An excellent device all the way around. Great clarity and detail on 1080P screen and very powerful processor.
I'm especially loving my device now that I got my new ZeroLemon 9300mAh extended battery. I'm still on my first charge cycle. I have over 12.5hrs of on-screen time and still have 12% battery left. This battery won't die. Likely at least 2-3 more hours of on-screen time left. Unbelievable and it will only get better I I go through more charge cycles. I've been trying very hard to burn it out so I can plug up for next charge cycle. So it'll be ready when.I go to work.in the morning. I highly recommend this battery. The little extra thickness is nothing compared to this battery life I'm getting. Phone still fits in my pocket fine.
Great phone. I've barely used my tablets since I got it.
Omg op I love you like a fat kid loves cake!
I have been looking for a leather flip case that doubles as a stand like I had for my note and that's exactly it..
Not sure how I missed it but thanks again..

Just FyI, I sold my S3 on eBay for $375.
I just got one myself! I have one question though. Does the OGP support wireless charging natively? Or do you have to get that flip cover? LG hasn't marketed wireless charging capabilities at all, so I just assumed it didn't have any...but there is a QI charger for it...

The US variant supports Qi charging out of the box. The flip cover also has an inductive charging coil built in. I can't say with any level of certainty whether any non-US variants support Qi without the cover.

Holy mushrooms batman! I just tried it before reading this, and it works! I used my old Lumia 920 charger. That's sweeetttt! It's not even listed as a function on the LG website. Super weird that they don't market that more. There are only a few devices that do that straight out of the box (Lumia 920, Nexus 4, and OGP). NICE!
Omg!!! Finally got my OGP today!! And let me tell you this..THIS PHONE IS SO UNDERRATED!!! I mean what not to love about this device!?? The Display is soooo Gorgeous!! Battery life is awesome, the build quality is nice. Lg took the customization to another level, folder colors, the keyboard, the ringtones, wallpapers etc tmtm! Im really happy that I picked Ogpro instead of note2:thumbup::thumbup:
And oh i was using my fone for 1 hour straight of downloading apps, and browsing and it never gets hot!

I love this phone too! I had taken my girlfriend to AT&T to get her a new phone and when we tried the OG Pro we both had to have one. We have had ours about three weeks now and loving them.
