Found the perfect car accessory combo for HD2!

Hey guys!
I think I found the perfect combination of car mount+car charger for the HD2!
NOTE: Links are listed at the bottom of this post. Also, I am in no way affiliated with the sellers.
I was searching all the available mounts on Amazon (I didn't want to spend money on shipping I have prime) and each one of them was either too flimsy or expensive.
Then it dawned on me that I could may be use the EVO's car mount, I checked this site and sure enough, they have really close dimensions.
I took the plunge and bought a mount and guess what? It fits the HD2 perfectly! The mount pivots about the center ball joint which itself is attached to a goose neck allowing for almost infinite adjust-ability. The orientation can be locked in place with a thumb screw near the ball joint. The best thing is, the whole thing stays quiet solid and doesn't jump around when on uneven roads (at least in my rental car)
I also wanted a charger and I found a genuine Motorola 1A charger (most of the others were 500mA) and while using GPS navigation, the HD2 consumes ~400mA or more depending on the screen brightness, Bluetooth etc. That only leaves ~100mA or less for charging the battery which is five times less than what USB provides. You can imagine how slowly the battery would charge.

Hope this helps someone!

looks great

I thought I would start a new thread but it's probably not necessary.
I have strongly considered OP's combination for days a few weeks ago and I found some similar items @ Monoprice with the monoprice kind of price, if you know what I mean. I give you a quick review if you're shopping for these.
The (universal) car mount $3.57
The mount is definitely bulkier than the one OP recommends but overall it's certainly not a bad product. Once you figured how you want to position it, the mount is pretty sturdy. My only regret is that it won't stick to my dashboard as I would thought but it's because of the texture of the dashboard, not because of the suction cup of the mount, so it's stuck to the windshield. For less than $4, it's just awesome.
the 5 volt 1000 mAh car charger $1.78
The build can be labeled as 'a bit flimsy' and I have yet to drive with the phone plugged in with GPS to check the battery drain (or lack thereof).
I can tell the phone charges with Winamp playing. It is no real surprise I know but it is the main use when in the car. Cord could be a tiny bit longer but it's a good deal.
EDIT: 2 months later
the build is definitely sh***y. if you let it too long in the power outlet, a piece a plastic breaks and the thing doesn't work anymore. Could be easily fixed but I won't bother. Monoprice nicely replaced the first one without asking but now my second one broke and I'll get the motorola one from amazon.
I got to grab a $3 BT headset and I'm good

look great, thanks

Hi chvvkumar, after reading your post I have decided to buy the same car charger from Motorola as you have. I would like to ask you if you could let me know how much mAh does your phone show as receiving when it is charging.
When I tried mine, it was receiving about +/-450mAh, which is what I normally see when I use the normal charger.
Thanks for the information.

The mount looks just like mine - over 12 months old, lives attached to the screen, gets used most days of the week, don't remember where it came from apart from it was Ebay
a good couple of £ investment

Magnetic charger from other Xperia devices?

Hi,
I recently bought a magnetic charger on eBay, and it said it was for 'Xperia devices', but it didnt connect properly with my Z2 Tablet. Do people know whether the tablet has a different connection to the other xperia devices? And if so, is there a magnetic charger for the tablet that I can buy? I'm just not able to afford the dock.
Thanks for your thoughts.

This one actually works well.

I second jismail's recommendation. It works pretty well, though the magnet is not super strong and might cause a loss of charging connection if you move the tablet around.

Bought this one in the Netherlands from a small shop that sells "under the umbrella" of bol.com.

Cheap and it does the job.
I know bol.com sells to Belgium, don't know what it means for the shipping costs...

Got it and agree it works, but, at least to me, it seems really pricey. Not compared to a dock, but ounce for ounce, it must be about the price of gold.

To those of you who bought the magnector from amazon, has anyone got this message? I bought the full cable version and I'm using the wall adapter from Sony, but I get this message.

I have to say the magnetic charger is flakey, but I can't determine if it's the magnector or the power source or just the outer drain of the Z2T - probably a combination of all three. To start, the magnector actually pulled the Z2T circuit connection out of its body, so I have to get Sony to look at that (guess my waterproof feature is gone ). It's hard to get good contact and occasionally loses contact when sitting undisturbed. Even my 2.1A charger doesn't provide enough juice to charge unless it's shut down completely. Love the tablet, but charging is problematic.

I have the magnector and have never gotten this message. I agree, though, the charging is slow. Don't know if it's any slower than the conventional way.

I agree that the magnetic coupler is weak, but I've not found it to be flaky. I have to leave my Z2T flat and undisturbed on a surface to ensure that magnector and the tablet stay connected. Sorry to hear about the the magnector pulling out the Z2T circuitry. I'll have to check mine to see if I have this issue.

My connection is pretty strong, I can hold the tablet and it doesn't move. Wondering if I should contact amazon and have it exchanged.

[Q] magnetic charge cable

Aloha comunity,
i bought a magnetic charger cable from ebay but it does not snap correctly in place and it's a pain in the *** to connect it correctly.
since i use a case I cannot use the docking station.
Is there any cable you can recommend?
Thanks and greetings

I bought four different cheap ones from ebay. Four different styles... 3 cables and 1 usb micro adapter.
They are all complete garbage. One of them is usable as long as I don't touch or bump the phone at all while it's connected.
I've heard good things about the magnector cable but they are way more expensive. I'll stick with micro usb and the flap for the time being.

magnector is 15€ which is okay. it's a pitty that sony doesn't send one with the phone :/
charging via the usb-connector isn't an long-term option for me since i need to diasemble the case every time and heard that the flap may break or become leaky.
any other suggestions? otherwise i will buy a magnector tomorrow.
thanks and greetings

Magnector x2 is where it's at. It fits my new Devilcase with minimal plastic cutting.

Agree... Magnector x2 is worth the price. I have one since day one with my Z3c.
You can't be disappointed with it...
[emoji6]

Magnector x2 is a premium quality magnet charger but expensive.... 15€ .... and COMPATIBLE only with 3-4 covers
I SUGGEST:
2 of this 15€ ......and work well in EVERY COVER

You should be able to get those on ebay for less than $5 a pop.

NOT FOR THE SAME QUALITY.... i have 12 cases from ebay/amazon/other store.... not same quality!

Magnector for the win (X2 adapter or cable)
I have tried various adapters and cables and BY FAR the best ones are these:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3GK3YI
The X2 adapter is fantastic if you want to carry it with you or plug it into existing microUSB cables, but their cable (in the same listing) is just as great, and a nice, flexible cable. I'm using the Magnector X cable in the car since that's easier to snap on and keep my phone in place. Unlike most magnetic connectors, these have a lil curve that fits perfectly with the side of the phone, preventing it from sliding off as easily, and the magnets are the strongest I've encountered so far.

Hmmm, maybe. All I can say is that one of the four ebay cables I bought terminates in a connector that looks identical to the one in your image. I mean completely identical. It's also the best out of the four I bought and the only one that I actually find usable. The connection is still pretty loose though.
I'll try to find the link to the auction... [edit] here it is

100% neodymium magnet....the same to the others more blasonate connectors, at the end same force.
The problem is the more thickness of the connector.... but you can use on 100% of cases on web....same strong force but a little bit instable....I use my mag connection at home near my bed, I don't need brutal force for stay in charge...without remove my covers :good:

Qi Wireless Charging - try it!

A month ago I upgraded from a Note I (GT-N7000) to a Note II LTE (GT-N7105) and love the numerous improvements.
I decided to try wireless charging but I have to admit this was one aspect where my expectations were quite small. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong and that it is a real benefit. I bought the very cheapest combo of Qi charging pad and Note II module that I found on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251781820...49&var=550705264808&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT It cost me £6.08 which is a about $10 US or €9. The module fits between the battery and the phone's cover. I use a Samsung Flip Case Cover and it closes over the phone as normal with no bulges or fit problems. The pad is specified to output 1A and the module for the phone claims 800 mA. I didn't measure them but after a few days I find the claims believable (I have an extra genuine Samsung battery and previously had been swapping batteries and using a small battery charger with 1A output).
The pad itself is shiny plastic and so the phone, with its similarly shiny plastic back, can easily slip from it. I applied my giant brain to the problem and considered building a small cage from plastic or wire, or perhaps enclosing the pad in some kind of box. Then I had a couple of beers and remembered I already have some 2cm x 2cm velcro (hook+loop) fastener pads and some scissors. I snipped some tiny strips, so 2cm x 4mm, and applied them to each side of the charge pad and in the equivalent positions on the back of the flip case. Perfect and unobtrusive.
The battery charges really fast, the phone is both secure on the pad and quickly removed. No more dicking about with cables! Thank you ebay and China :good:

My qi charging max 460ma and note 2 getting very warm.

My QI Setup!
This is my QI Charger:

How much time does it take for a full charge?

It takes a while...I charge it at 900mA (475mA default) ie half the AC charger rate. But a wireless charger is not meant for charging battery drained phones. They're meant for keeping your phones fully charged all the time by topping it up.

Charging Stand?

I'd love to see a stand that would hold the charging disk sort of like this one. https://www.amazon.com/ZenWatch-Artifex-ZenWatch2-Technology-Smartwatch/dp/B01CMVX9M0
Wish I had a 3d printer!

Yeah looks nice, I guess its just a matter of time before 3rd party accessories start coming in. But do remember that the bundled charger comes with fast charging and I'm not sure if 3rd party ones would be able to do that? Asus calls it 'exclusive HyperCharge technology' so don't know if its going to work with 3rd party chargers.

Found this thread while looking for a stand.
But luckily i do have a 3d printer. Made up one and put it up on thingiverse

I got the same one at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4RP0X1/ref=cfb_at_prodpg
Works perfectly. It does NOT come with a charger but I didn't expect it to. It uses the existing charger and fits perfectly.

How long time does it take for full charging from 15-20% to 100%?
Any info for the official stand from Asus?
Do we know any differences between both stand witch one is better than the second one.

Full charge from 1% to 100% takes less than one hour.
From 15-20% charge to 100% takes about 30 minutes.
This Zenwatch 3 charges more than twice as fast compared to any
other Android Wear watch.
The printed stand is so good it should be called the "official" Zenwatch 3 stand.
There is only one stand for the Zenwatch 3 both links have exactly the same
stand for sale but are from a different sellers.
I can't wait until the 3rd party bands start rolling in.
Hopefully there will be leather bands with a clasp
just like my zenwatch 2 came with.

Ok thanks i will order it too.

+1 on the printed stand. I like it a lot. Works well.

I built my own from a wooden candle holder. Fixed the charger with double-sided adhesive tape...

I'm using a stand primarily built for the Apple watch. But I've placed my ZenWatch3 charger on the allotted slot for the charger and used double side tape. As you can see the watch is firmly held and easy to place and remove from the charger. Plus my Nexus 6P also fits perfectly into the phone slot.

Got one from Thingiverse and waiting for the print from my local 3DHub....

The guy on Amazon that is 3D printing these things now has them in 10 colors...

Also, he made a watch + phone charging stand combo if you want such a thing.
