Alternative external battery pack

neat alternative battery charger..
has anyone tried the Kodak battery pack with their HD2?
http://shop.kodak.co.uk/store/ekconseu/en_GB/pd/Portable_Charger_KP100-C+2/productID.147432800
at 17 gbp with solar charger **(ok maybe not for the UK ) but has USb outlet and replaceable 2500mah AA batteries so could be a neat way of carrying a spare 5000mah around (and more with extra batteries) or if you're somewhere that has that funny glowing thing in the sky...
It may work well for travelling with and providing a recharge for the Hd2
I may get one later on the year to test it out.
** although it doesn't show it in the pictures there, the specifications show it comes with a solar cell, although the only image I can find is of the KS100 (not the kp100) so the solar part maybe a mistake on the kodak site.

Not tried that one but I bought the Philips SCE7640 a couple of weeks ago:

I haven't opened/used it yet, but seems to get some decent reviews.

I was under the impression that didn't come with a microUSB plug. Please let us know once you've used it? Thx...

It's on charge now, so will try it out when it's done. Although it doesn't come with a micro-usb tip, the unit has a full size usb socket so you can use the micro usb cable that comes supplied with the HD2, or an aftermarket cable.
Orange accessories had them on clearance for less than £24.

Saw that; now they're out of stock though. In mainlaind Europe they're over EUR 100!

Yeah,that's how much they were here in the UK too, but I guess they couldn't shift them at around £120.
I would keep an eye on play.com if I wanted to buy one, as I don't think they will sell many at this price and will reduce them:
www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...&_$ja=tsid:11518|cc:|prd:8111985|cat:Chargers
Ebay seems to be the cheapest at the moment, check out item number 290390746963 for £39 delivered free in the UK (nothing to do with me!)
It's charging the HD2 fine, as well as the Acer A150 netbook. I really bought it for the Acer netbook because it has the internal 3G card built in and when that's running it uses more power.
I have it charging a HTC Polaris now so we'll see how long it takes it to charge it from a flat battery,and how much power is left in the Philips power pack.
UPDATE: it took around 3 hours to fully charge the Polaris battery, and that's the same time it would normally take using the mains charger. I have 3 lights left on from the 4 lights of the capacity indicator of the Philips power supply

Portable charger

Can someone please suggest a decent portable charger that I can use to keep my HD2 running for 5 days without mains power?
At the moment I charge it once a day.
Either AA Powered or with a large internal battery
Thanks

Hi,
I've got this one:
dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18883
it has an adaptor for micro-usb. You can use itself for charging the lithium battery.
and also, when I need more time I carry more batteries:

Not quite as powerfull as some of the previous suggestion but recharges my HD2 2 and a bit times if Im not using it while on charge.
The tips and chargers are all cross compatible with their other products which I also use (powergorilla for my netbook) and its small enough to carry around!

I'll suggest an i-walk U20 5400mAh, it charges the HD2 about 4 1/2 times. perfect for long days out or when going camping etc. also has a powerful torch.

Mine cost about £44, but it's totally worth it. I just don't trust those chargers running on 2xAA batteries

I bought this one plus a couple of AA size 2200mAh rechargeable battery, can be used for 4-5 days ouside

hmmmm i think this one really rules. thinking of getting one instead of the extended battery. so i can keep the good design as i dont need the power every day ...

I'm using a powergorilla for charging my 2 phones. a HD2 and a SE W800i
it lasts me 2 weeks
it is a big powerpack but also does the laptop more then once easily when needed. they have also a half size one the minigorilla
just google it.

docking station

hi everyone there some one who can show me a good docking station, maybe with the slot for the charging of a second battery? ?

i dont know where u from but i've bought this one on amazon.de
and i'm really satisfied with it.
it's solid and the HD2 fits in perfect, but it has no slot to load a second

Sorry for being link-lazy, but http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/ have a good selection of HD2 equipment, and I have had good experience with them.
(However ignore the 'magic slip mat' which claims to hold your phone through stickiness. It works well with some phones but not with our beloved

I use this one, and its perfect in every way.

That URL is for an HTC Desire...

This one is even with sound. But I don't have it yet and there could be a problem with the US t-mobile HD2.

For those people who want to plug in headphones to listen to music on their phone. However, I saw this charger a number of months ago, and I remember people who purchased it were complaining that they weren't getting stereo sound from attached headphones, but Mono.
And, to boot, the ad states plainly "This cradle will not fit T-Mobile HD2 phone." This is most likely because the US and European versions of the HD2 are not exactly the same size. Luckily, there's a 30 day money back guarantee...

If you have a previous iPod dock, you can convert it using this cable.

[Q] generic charger problem.. phone freeze

Today I got from a big Pc store a generic charger which has two inputs car/home and two outputs usb 1000 mA and 500 mA.
Connected the IS and in all my years I've never seen something like that. Phone charges but touch screen is not responding while connected to that charger. Tried both outputs, different outlet in the house, even another charger with one usb at 500 mA. Only with that charger I bought today the problem exists. As soon as I disconnect it the screen works again..
Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

like this
[----] <=- is usb [-__-] outer ones need to be clean
its pritty easy done by opening the case or modifying the cable, up to you what you want

yes thought of the data pins too but (I opened it) they're so tight soldered to the board that was difficult to do anything.. anyway.. I'll probably try to return it.
FYI all of you since these chargers are Chinese and pretty widespread look like that (nevermind the label)

Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better!

Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better! and What are they? Simply an extra battery - OEM version from amazon.com was about $6 - and a battery charger - from Amazon.com, was around $6.
These make life so much simpler, so much time worrying about a cable connected to my phone to charge it in all the places i may go in life in the past, is now spent knowing when my battery is low, I've got a 100% charged duplicate battery just waiting for me to swap 'em out. I just wanted to share, it really has made cellular life in general so much easier!

links to those items at amazon:
OEM HTC Standard Li-Ion Polymer Battery for HTC DROID Incredible & Eris BTR6300

(there's many variations of the charger part.)
all the best,

Two 1900 batteries plus a wall charger. One battery last over 20 hrs

Being that I just snagged a dinc a few weeks back, accessories are super cheap now. A spare battery is a must.

This little gizmo is genius. Basically makes ANYTHING bluetooth capable. At the end of it is a female 3.5mm jack. I use this to make my Car bluetooth. I have a male-male cable (one side plugged into the Aux on my Car, the other side plugged into the gizmo shown above). Turn it on and you got Bluetooth now. Its so damn small you can basically take it with you anywhere and make anything bluetooth.
Best part is its so damn cheap compared to its competitors. I got mine on eBay brand new for 12 bucks.....I don't think they sell these in retail stores. I looked around in retail stores and anything like this was well over $40 and WAY more bulky and bloated with useless bling-features.
