I'm looking for a desktop cradle, one that charges my phone, has room to charge a spare battery and as a bonus can be hooked up to my stereo to play music from my phone. I've found a few but none seem to do all three.
I believe this one has all those functions.

That one looks good, but how does it hook up to a hifi?
I too am after what the OP is after from a cradle, subscribing to this one
It has a 3.5mm out. So a male to male 3.5mm audio cable (very cheap on ebay) should let you hook it up to aux on stereo if it has a 3.5mm input.

Hmmm, looks quite fitted there that battery, not sure if it hold the girth
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/popups/gallery.php?product_id=22701&view_img=3.jpg
Excellent! Just ordered one too, thanks
Did anyone else who ordered recently get an email saying they are out of stock at the mo?
I will have to check my order when I get home, see where the stock is up to.
I've ordered one but I haven't received an email saying it's out of stock, but I know the website currently states it's out of stock.
Hmmm 3 days now the site has said 'Stock tomorrow'
Patience is not one of my virtues
As my dad always tells me, "Tomorrow never comes!".
I just sent them an email asking when they think they'll be getting more in stock so hopefully good news
Dear Friends,
I bought two of them yesterday; one for home and one for office. It suits HD2 very well. I can say, i am very satisfied. In the package you can find an extra charger unit and usb cable for sync but only downside is the length of both cables are short for me.I wish they would be longer... I am looking for quality small speakers to use with the cradle...BTW it is a great tool to use with HD2... Hope this helps...
Kind Regards...
Has yours turned up from MobileFun?
I ordered mine over a week ago now and no cradle yet, I'm well dissapointed

I called them and they said that they will only receive stock on the 22nd of March. I am not waiting that long, so cancelled the order.
So to get back to the initial question: Any other craddle (in stock) recommended for the HD2?
Im looking for a good cradle for my desk. I have found alot online but want on that will not only charge my phone and a spare battery but will give me a audio out as well. I have seen them but never bothered to bookmark them. My bad lol.
So if anyone has any links that would be great.
i honestly dont think they exist. if you need a docking cradle, you got the wrong phone. the iphone woulda been perfect. i just dont think they have cradles with audio outs. ive seen charging cradles for car gps mount and for charging only.

T-Mobile HD2 Cradle by Deluxe
http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-CRADLE...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274900764&sr=8-1
I ordered this one which should be here by today. In the other thread people ordered the cradle for the unlocked version. This cradle is specifically for the T-Mobile USA HD2. It should address the fit problem people were experiencing. Has spare battery slot, audio out (mono ), a DC charge port, and a usb port for syncing.
EDIT-
Well its here and it fits perfectly however I cannot get any syncing action going on. All I can get is charging. Any ideas?
no, i don't think so
no, i don't think so
Has anyone found a good car charger that they know works with the Focus? My dad's super-paranoid about my phone, and wants me to have a car charger. The problem, as many of you probably know, is that the Focus seems finnicky about what chargers it gets along with. Does anyone have one that they've tried that works?
I went with the Belkin Micro USB car adapter, works great, especially if you need to charge other USB devices.
This is the charger I used. It's made by Motorola but it works great with the Focus. Plus the LED light is a transparent window which looks awesome. It doesn't quite look like the photo. It's also discounted. I'll probably be ordering a couple more to keep in my other car.

IGO
I use the IGO car charger with the tip for my Samsung Focus. I also have the tip for my wifes Samsung Sync A707. I also had the tip for my FUZE when I was using that. It was nice, we could travel and just bring the additional tip and charge either phone. Works on my Focus very well.
I bought my Focus from Costco and they gave me a free no-name chinese car charger with the phone. I used it only once so far and my phone did not explode or anything, but I don't know if it was actually charging or not. The battery icon had the 'plug' graphic on it, but how can I tell if it was working properly?
I ended up getting a cheap charger off from eBay, it's kind of like the motorola listed that has the USB port. It also came with the USB cable and another house plug-in with the USB port. I travel a lot for the military so I like to have a spare cable and house charger.
i've used a Griffin which has a USB plugin...from my blackberry phone, HTC Tilt2 (winmo 6.5), HTC Aria (android), and will use it on my Focus. but with the battery, i haven't had a need for it yet lol. off the home charger with a full charge at 6:30am...drove to atlanta (well covered 3G area) to Athens (so so 3G) and all the back home down back roads through no name towns (spotty coverage). it's now 5:30 and i'm still showing half a battery gauge. that's with a few calls, plenty of texting, and a lot of web browsing.
damn i love this phone
I use one I got from Costco with my Backflip last year. I figured all micro USB would be fine.
Got a couple Rocketfish ones from Best Buy - work great
IMO, the Belkin is nice because it is low-profile. a very clean looking charging setup. Also can use whatever microusb I have handy rather than some dedicated cable.

Get the OEM charger here. I have had no issue with the MicroUSB connector, unlike my last car charger that just died. Can't beat the price either.
I bought three of these chargers...
I got three of these chargers off amazon. They are oem, but are official motorola and look really nice. They have a translucent window with the M on them that lights up when they are plugged in. They are a steal at less than five dollars. Go here-->http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304549428&sr=8-1-spell.
That's what I got too, just through Amazon for prime 2 day.
Sent from my Samsung Focus using Board Express
First off, I do not have any affiliation with any vendors - whatsoever!
Here's an awesome deal on a highly-rated, 10,000mah battery bank for $29.99/free shipping!
Read about it here
Then go here for info on how to get the deal.
If you want more reviews, go here for reviews on the previous model (essentially the same thing).
I've known about this for a couple of days now, but I just grabbed one, and wanted to share with my fellow forumites.
Hope this helps someone else looking for a battery bank!
I have actually been looking for something like this.. but the price I see is $59.99. Is there a special code I have to use to get the discount and free shipping?
EDIT: oops I didn't read all the way
Yes - you have to go look at the SlickDeals link in my OP.
My smaller power battery bank has been a life-saver so many times in the past six months of ownership. I look forward to getting this one.
Goo deal .. the promo code is only valid from 8pm -11pm EST till Dec 31. Buhch of people say that they run out of the alloted quantities pretty fast, so try to get it as early as you can.
Technical Data say it's 5200mAh, product description say it's 10000mAh
5200mAh high capacity, the 2 top-rated 2600mAh Samsung 18650 battery cells [...]

However, the RavPower website states that the pb07 is indeed 10000mAh:
http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-dy...ones-digital-cameras-tablets-and-e-books.html
Yeah - the Amazon write-up is inaccurate in a number of places - it seems that info from prior models is carried forward. This model uses four Samsung cells that provide 2600mah each.
I'd go with the mfg'ers website and what actual customers say about the battery pack's capacity.
Not that this will make a difference for anyone else but I emailed the seller and they told me this product is not UL certified. Big bummer for me because I'm in the Navy and they require every device that we plug in aboard a ship to be UL certified. This would have been super handy for a deployment as electrical outlets are scarce on the boat. My search continues..

There are plenty of options out there, just typically not at this price point. I took a moment to search and here's one from a company I can recommend:

yes, +1 to the Anker unit.
Just got mine. Super fast shipping. I'll report back after I get a chance to use it.
If you are on the fence, there are some new additions to the product reviews at Amazon here.
The deal lasts through the end of the year. I did notice that they sell out fast when the discount window starts at 8PM est.
Off to get it charged up...

will you provide us with some pics of it next to the nexus 7 by chance (size comparison)?
wavrunrx,
Dude, I would love to, but unlike everyone on this forum right now, I don't yet own an N7. It's at the top of my xMas list and by most accounts I've "been good". So here's hope'in.
The height/width is about the size of a pack of cigs, and it's about 3/4" thick. Rounded edges, hefty, a beautiful piano-black finish, really nice design and comes with a charger, two usb/mini usb cables, and a black velvet storage bag.
If it were white and had an Apple logo on it, it would be $175, easy.
Still don't have an N7 (c'mon Santa! c'mon Santa!, I've been "nice" the whole f**ck'in year!!)...
... but I can report back that this battery pack is awesome. It takes a while to charge-up, but that's expected given it's capacity. I repeatedly put my Galaxy Nexus on it yesterday and it charges super fast and doesn't even break a sweat. Plus I could be charging another phone (or tablet) on the other charging port. Given what I've seen yesterday, this could be my sole energy source for my GNex for the better part of a week without ever being tethered to a wall.
Bookmark: Thanks for Sharing. May look into getting one before the deal expires.

Very nice price indeed, thanks for the quick info. Just curious, how long does it take your unit to charge up?
I got one of these during this deal and I love it. The powerbank was nicely packaged and came with some extra tips for other cellphone models. Even came with an ac plug too which impressed me the most. I love getting products with added accessories that I didn't think would come with. As for the unit, it's compact and stylish and nicely designed. Very portable and lighter and smaller than I anticipated for a 10,000mah charging unit. It's literally small enough to hold in my pocket, but not both my phone and this together. If you carry a pack with you, this would be perfect.
I don't dare to crack open my unit but I read on an Amazon review that the four batteries used is Samsung 18650 power cells which can charge up to 500 or more times. There is also a lit up gauge that lights up to how much power is left in the powerbank. I used this on a short trip last weekend and maybe used this twice and it worked wonderfully. I can see myself using this during future camping trips, outdoor outings and even during emergencies. I love it and I can't stress this enough on having something like this since my phone tends to run out of battery fast during trips since I use my phone a lot during these times. Highly recommend everyone have something like this around.
i just got my unit in the mail today.
comes in a very nice box, well designed, comes with 2 micro usb cables, wall plug, and a felt pull-string bag. the unit itself is quite impressive. has a nice weight to it, and just feels solid. im still charging mine up, but sofar, (and especially for $30) i am *very* impressed.

Awesome. I just orders mine today. I live in Hawaii. How long did it take to get yours in the mail? Also can you do a review on how it charges the nexus 7? How long does it take? Can it fully charge the nexus? Can you use the nexus at the same time while it's charging? Etc. Etc. Thanks

right off the bat i can answer these:
"How long did it take to get yours in the mail?"
i live about 2 miles from where it shipped from, and if it wasnt for xmas eve/xmas day, i would have gotten my unit 2 days sooner. shipping would have been overnight, if not for xmas.
"Can you use the nexus at the same time while it's charging?"
unfortunately no. :crying:
when you are charging the unit itself, it shuts down the 2 remaining usb charge ports, until you unplug it from the wall.
**edit
now that i re-read what you asked; yes, you can use your phone/tablet while it is charging from the RAVPower.
the RAVPower just cannot be plugged into the wall at the same time.

whew! At first I was about to cancel my purchase because I thought you couldn't use the nexus while charging from the RAV. That would have been unacceptable. As far as not being able to use the RAV when the unit itself is charging I don't really mind. Thanks for the quick replies, I'm eager to get mine. Update us on your experience when you got a chance to test it fully charged if it's not too much of a bother
I have been using Samsung Galaxy S6 for two and half years, and I am about to switching to 5T.
I wonder anybody has a recommendation for wireless charging receiver -- the thin tap that sticks to the back of your phone. I tried some of them, including the name brand Nillkin, on my other phone (Le Pro 3) and found out that the battery will start to drain after being charged to full. Hence I wonder if oneplus has such problems or not.
Thanks.
No support for wireless charger on OP.

that wasnt his q. i dont know that anyone has had a chance to try one to make a recommendation. i suppose any usb c receiver that is qi compatible will work. maybe you can find one that supports quick charge.
I don't know if anybody tried the nillkin wireless charging case for oneplus5. I hope they can make one for 5t as well. I can't leave wireless charging now.
I have Oneplus 5 magic case with car magnetic charger and it work perfectly. I wrote e-mail to [email protected] and got feedback - similar case for 5t would be available soon.
Just want to have an update. Returned the Nillkin receiver, got another one, Tankship. Surprisingly this less popular one works. Used for over 24 hours, and was able to charge my phone to 100%. Of course, charging is slow, which is expected. But I sit in office all day except have meetings. It allows me to keep my phone charged w/o wearing out my usb port.
Will test it for couple more days ...

Noticed one other issue, sometime my samsumg charger pad shows it is working, but the phone is not being charged (charging light is off but battery level goes down).
It happened once this morning, and repositioning the phone did not help. A reboot of my phone made it work again.

FWIW, I checked the amazon reviews on fakespot and it gave it a poor grade, couple of reviewers are suspect with giving too many positive reviews. I'm hesitant on pulling the trigger on getting one now.
I am bothered too with those fake reviews so I always go to the one with more reviews first, which is Nillkin. Unfortunately the one I tried first did not work at all.
Good thing is you can return it for free. Amazon Prime, I love it!

Wanted to check if anybody has had good experience with any of the qi-cases for 5T (or if not cases, at least qi receivers).
Hopefully something came up in the last year or so since the last post.
Yes, I did spend quite a few hours google-ing this but was not available to find anything.
When no qi-cases for 5T are available on the market - can anybody recommend a qi-receiver with usb-c that could be combined with a magnet system for car holders (like Nilkin: nillkin.org/accessories/chargers/nillkin )?
Are there any 5T cases with a magnet in the case itself which could be used with a universal qi-receiver?
Does anybody have a practical experience with a magnet ring or quadratic magnet like nilkins on the inner side or the outer side of any normal 5T case ? If so, which ("normal" 5Tcase was that?
Thanks for any and all help you could give me.
Regards,
Pavana
Hi Pavana,
I don't have a positive answer for your query. But if the need of having a magnetic cover is because you need hang your phone in the car, perhaps you can consider to use a qi charger on your car.
I have been using this for 10 months now. While it is slow in charging (barely maintains the level of charge if I use navigation+sportiy at the same time), it works with many cases, even this one.
