dock for charging

Anyone seen a dock for just charging the dell streak. So i can put it on my nightstand as..radio, clock, securitycam viewing.

I've been looking for one too, but no luck so far

Slacker G2 Dock
I just completed the single jumper wire part of this modification so that it both recognizes the charger as a dock and charges within a couple hours.
xttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965555#
Ebay for under $30. When the Streak docks it goes into clock mode which is the perfect alarm clock. On top of that I use tasker to turn on WiFi and synchronize all my pod casts and music overnight.

I bought the Slacker dock from Ebay. Just charges and put it in Night Clock mode - an app. Works fine. $15.99.

I use an unmodified G2 dock too, just plug it in and away you go. Now and again when I take the streak off the dock it complains about the charger having a problem but it does actually charge just fine.

Yeha the G2 slacker is the best option.
I have two of them (one at work and one home) and have my dell cable for a spare or when I travel.
There is a thread on modding the dock so you can use it as an audio out to speakers if you really want as well.

I just got one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NZB-USB-Dock-Charger-battery-Dell-Streak-mini5-/190518480187
it works fine for just charging and syncing (there is NO A/V out, but I have no need of either)
Says they ship to Europe including Belgium for the OP's information!

Hmm I#m currently using the usb cable that came with the tab, im not sure if a dock is worth it, for me its only worth it if it has an extra ac adapter so i dont have to use the one that came with the tab.
I might get a second cable, not so sure about the dock yet, as the one I prefer doesnt appear to be on the german amazon site.

I ordered from Sony mobile site.
I just recieved it, 10 mins ago, and the disapointment is HUGE.
This is NOT a wireless charger. In fact the charging goes via the two metal surfaces on the side. I've been wondering what they are for, but I guess this is the answer. It's nice to be able to charge without opening the flap, but still, this isn't the solution I was picturing when I read "wireless charging".
To sum it up: I payed ~50 dollars (360 swedish kronor) for a plastic piece with two pins that charges my phone through the side instead of USB. I've could've made a charger that works just as good myself, damn it!

Well, ofcourse..... Did you expect anything else? Xperia v dosent support qi charging. How else would you transfer electricity to the phone if not for the two metal contact points?! Neither Sony or anyone else have stated qi standard om the v.

Do you know the polarity of the charging pins ? Is it ac powered or you just simply connect your USB charger ?
They Cost 88 Singapore Dollars here in Singapore .

Xperia V DIY charging dock
does anybody has plans on making a DIY charging dock? since i bought a nillkin case for mine, my phone will not fit in the regular charging dock. i'm thinking of something that uses elastic bands to hold it while charging. needs to be pretty compact so you can still take it anywhere.

I bought a dock.
Have been using it for a couple of weeks now.
It seem to only charge if the dock is connected to the wall socket. I connected it to a PC for recharge when I first got it. It didn't start to charge. I thought I bought a lemon.

Where did you buy it?

Hi I wanna build my own cradle. Can you please measure the voltage of the pins. Are they 5V? Do you connect it with a simple USB Charger? Or is there a power supply?

HTC One Charger

hi folks,
for those who have received their phone.. can someone confirm what kind of charger comes in the box? The One X came with the upgraded UK Pin charger where the usb port was at the bottom which I really like.. however on some of the unboxing videos I have seen on You Tube, it looks like they have included the HTC Desire like charger.. Is that right?
I have also noticed that the charger is black, it wouldn't have been bad if it was a white one atleast (the one that came with HTC Chacha)
Please advise

This http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=246654&phone=246667 comes with the HTC One.

Oh and someone said about the newer ones charged the phones quicker?
Just to be specific, the 'New One Piece' and the '2 piece' chargers both run 5v 1a. So therefore the current is excactly the same. . .Source? Well . . . look at my handset list, and i have about 5 previous Chargers sat here. . . The One x charged quite quickly because of the small battery, the one takes slightly longer wich is understandable as it has a bigger capacity battery,
Regards to style. . . dont bother me, a charger is a charger. . . 2 piece is good for my bed side table as it adds about 1cm lengh in the cable. The one piece is good for my desk, as there is limited space in between the desk and wall . . .
But. . . its a charger, and i love it because it charges my HTC One!
hope this helps. . .

Lol.. I didn't say someone told me it charged quicker, I said " I felt it charged quicker" because when I first got the One X I was still using the charger for my HTC Desire (similar to the new Htc One Charger) and when it broke, I started using the new one that came with One X and felt it did indeed charge quicker.
But you are right, its down to the size of the battery.. so it doesn't really matter..
Its down to personal preference I suppose..
Hope Asda deliver my phone next week and not delay it again.. lol

With regards to the supplied charger, I find it depends where I charge my phone as to which charger I prefer. The one that comes with the One is good with wall sockets that are in cramped places (down the back of a shelf unit for downstairs for example), and the taller two piece plug suits me better beside my bed as it reaches further (good for reading while charging).
As has been mentioned though, amazon or eBay will sort you out of you decide you need one or the other.

Thanks mate.. I suppose thats right and since dobknobby has confirmed that the power and volts are the same on the charger it doesn't matter.. I've bought one from eBay so now I have two to play with.. Lol

i think i will buy a 2A charger. like the one which comes with Galaxy Note 2! the stock charger is slow, especially if i am using the device.

ive always used my ipad 2 charger on all my phones HTC/SAMSUNG and iphone. never had any issues with it. and in my opinion its one of the best reliable chargers out there.and i love the way you can change and add a longer extension power cord. very useful when in airports coffee shop etc.

I can't confirm, but others on XDA in the G2 forums have used a case with success. Qi technology should not be affected by even the likes of an Otterbox. Search the threads, someone has confirmed it already.

I just got the LG wireless charger from Amazon and it works even with the quick window case flipped back! I'm surprised at how well this charger works.

Verizon LG G2 cradle
I use my phone as a clock and alarm clock at night, so I needed a cradle.
I just got the EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone from Amazon for $20 after shipping.
Sorry I can't submit a link yet, I'm too new, but copy/paste this into Amazon:
EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone
It works great, however I don't have a case for the G2 yet. I'll report back when I get a case.
The phone will slow charge when you use the USB cable and AC adapter that were provided with the cradle. But, if you plug the LG USB cable and AC adapter into the cradle, it will fast charge. Also, if you plug the cradle into the LG USB cable and the EZO AC adapter, it will also fast charge.
Hope this helps somebody,
Mike

I just started looking for the same thing again today and found one good candidate;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390738004029
from China - delivery was slower than some but very average BUT this DOES not work for my D803.
The usb plug is extended to allow for a phone with a (fat) case and therefore when I put my naked phone on it is suspended in the air by the plug outlet. I contacted the seller and in addition to the language barrier they want nothing to do with the problem and, frankly, I don't have time to bicker over $20
Back on the hunt

Old thread but I will chime in. Lg g2 vs980. Using the amazing tylt qi charger. Its not junk at all. Expensive, yes. Down side: daydream only recognizes it charging. Not as a docking station. So it goes in and out of daydream when it goes back and forth between charging states. Looking for a way mod the charger or the phone to address this issue. Chime in if you have an idea. Peace outside!

OK Last one is a fail... apparently there is a LG-G2x and I missed the distinction.

I had the official Samsung dock for my previous Galaxy S4.
Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...93126633&sr=1-4&keywords=samsung+speaker+dock
It works great on my LG G2 (LS980) in terms of charging but the speaker function is not functional though.
