x1 cradle ?

hi,
has anyone seen an x1 cradle for sale ?
the only one i've seen so far is this :
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/17827.htm
anyone seen any others that are actually for sale ?
thanks in advance

Hah, they dare to call that a cradle . The advantage of a cradle for me is not having to fidle with a cable. I had a cradle (without cable) for my Tytn II from the same brand, poor build quality.
If anybody knows of another Xperia cradle I am interested to hear it too.

We ordered from them but than they told they do NOT ship to the US. There are others who ship to the US the same cradle, just go on EBay. Not real nice but nothing else available yet...

when I had my tytn, I made myself a cradle out of Lego.. moved house since and lost it but it worked really well, I built a USB cable into it and held it in the right place with blu-tak, it looked sweet

http://www.expansys.com.hk/p.aspx?i=176116

we ordered two of them and both do NOT work as they should.It charges but it does not synchronizes, it shows short the connection and does not go to the authentication, makes it useless - hopefully SE brings something nicer and better

Hi,
I got one with the spare battery charger slot.
The spare slot failed to charge a battery without using the SE charger.
That said the MobileFun cheap battery is just that.... Cheap!
Lasted 4 hours and was boiling hot after that time. And that was just sitting on the table for 4 hours!!!
Got the genuine SE battery on the way..

Hi,
Might be of interest:
ebay link...
Looks to be a different model and maybe one that works!

Good find, looks like the nicest one yet

Really ugly cradles.. I wonder if there are also cradles that are potrait oriented. I belief it's much nicer looking that way.

I think you were thinking about landscape oriented cradles not potrait (all in this theard are potrait). Landscape cradles would be awsome, no need for this ugly usb cable.

Yes, indeed i was ... trying to say landscape oriented cradles

X1 Cradle
I couldnt find a landscape one ended up making my own. Fill desired base with Playdough, wiggle phone inside, remove phone, fill hole with plaster of paris and let it set.
Remove mould and Playdough, coat the mould in Vasaline or something plaster wont stick to. Refill the container, this time with more plaster, insert the mould and let dry. When you remove the mould this time your left with a perfect dock. Dremmel through the bottom of the container and stick in a usb cable, I had to gluegun the cable in place, but it works better than those portrait docks and feels better built too.

Man, I was about to say that when I saw it yesterday.

My desktop cradle is here!!!

Well, it took almost a month to get here but it arrived!
I bought 2 desktop cradles and a spare battery.
http://www.netimes.com/shop/desktop-cradle-w-2nd-battery-charger-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2457.html?cPath=80_731
It came all the way from HK.
I thought the phone would charge only using the power plug but you have to use the usb cable. The power plug is used only for charging the spare battery.
Here are some pictures of it standing on my office at work:

Looks very good quality. But it seems like its totally standing on MicroUSB no other support... i hope it will not damage MicroUSB port....
wat you think???

HD2 is so pretty!!!!

It stays very well. The place where it stands its very tight and the usb port is not the support of the device. It stays there good even without inserting it to the maximum. I'm quite happy with it.

Hey there...
Looks like the same cradle as the one I ordered. Still waiting for mine to arrive though. What is the build quality like?
David

The build quality is pretty good. Can't complain.
Its light, made of hard plastic and the sides have a silvery plastic cover.
Besides the silver sides (which give it a cool look) the rest is just hard plastic. On the bottom there are 6 rubbery stand points which give it a good grip on the desk.

Thanks... Wish my cradle had arrived - left my USB cable at work, so can't charge my phone!

Dont be so simple minded lol. Go buy yourself another cable for work and one for home ?

Well, that's why I bought the cradle!

How many hours it takes to fully charge the original battery?

I have the exact same one (I think), took me about two weeks to get it from Hong Kong to Norway..
The grip is firm, almost too firm for my likings.. Have to use both hands when lifting the phone off the cradle..
Question to lorin.bute: Have you experienced any problems when syncing with activesync using the cradle?? My computer recognizes the connection when I put the phone in the cradle, but I get a "time out error" when attempting to sync.. Works fine when using cable only.. Only tried on one computer though, and without the AC-adapter connected...
Speaking of which, are you sure the AC is just for charging the second battery?? I've allways thought that charging through USB doesn't give as much current (500 mAh or so?) as AC does...
One last thing: Do you have that INSANELY bright blue LED on the back/right hand side of the cradle?? It freaks me out!

Yes, the grip is quite strong.
I have no problems with the sync. I sync at home and it definitely works. At work, active sync runs but no items are synced. Everything works fine.
If i don't connect the cradle to the pc, the led doesn't turn on ... and there's no charge symbol on top and s2u2 does not show the battery. that for me meant that it doesn't charge with the power plug. Remember that i have the one with a spare battery charger.
Yes i do have the blue light... that goes all the way to the roof of the room
It doesn't bother me that much.

I haven't fully discharged it. When i do i'll let you know.

got my new dock today as well. Here are some (not so brilliant) pics

Is that the one with the audio output? Wasn't that offered only with the UK plug?

yes this one has the audio output, i'm currently charging using the usb cable although it did come with a uk plug.

Correction: It does charge only with the power plug. It wasn't before because i had the spare battery charging. Now its just perfect because i don't want it syncing all the time

I've also ordered the same style cradle with the OP. The total payment is just 30$. And as u said here, it seems to be worthy with that amount

The shipment costs 7 euros with the royal mail (which is very slow). I received it in almost a month. If you chose DHL for the shipment you get it in 5 days but you pay 20-30 euros.

HD7 Desk Docks/Cradles

Extended one (with additional Battery slot) £15

They don't look bad but best to get one that has the micro-usb AND a headphone plug - that way you can attach it to your Hi-Fi, pc etc to pump the sound from!
If not then these ones from Brando look nice:
$18 + $3 P&P
$17 + $3 P&P (various colours available!)
I have always found Brando excellent and have used him for years now - I have just got the reflection free screen protector for my HD7 and it makes it easier to see outside and much smoother to the touch!

yeah good point, i don't think i've spotted one with a headphone socket yet... I wonder if we'll see docking stations with built in speakers anytime soon....

Fingers crossed - always annoys me the iPoo gets docks galore but HTC phones don't even though they have great audio capabilities!

I've bought this one: http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1230
It has well working line-out and it can charge a second battery. It looks and feels great.
BUT my PC does not recognize my HD7 in the cradle. It can be charged via USB but not synced

I had a Kidigi cradle for my touch pro - you have to have the MINI-usb power adapter plugged in AND the MICRO-usb supplied with your phone plugged in to the PC for it to sync.... that way it charges and syncs at same time.

Thanks for the hint. I tried that, but it doesn't work either. Syncing via WLAN works fine.
I wrote to the support of the shop where I bought it, but I haven't got any reply so far.

I had the equivalent for my HD2, and it's really excellent. It's got everything I need - spare battery charging bay, power connector, USB to PC connector, audio connector - the full set. A good price too.

Buyed THIS ONE yesterday.
When it will arrive I'll post my opinions and, hope, some photos.
Bye, Marco.

Wow some of those are quite nice looking.

These both look good.
I was looking at one just the other day. Still not sure which to go with.

Yeah I really like the look of that charger, does someone have a trusted site for the States? I wanna buy one, but I just don't know about some of these sites.
And the sites that do look decent, are always in the UK! What gives?!
Can someone hit me back with a link for State side website that you've personally bought from before, and that the company does exist somewhere.
Thanks yall!

Do any of these docks/cradles work with a case on?
I have the PixelSkin case for my HD7. Will my phone with the case on fit in any of these docks/cradles?

Good Day,
I presently own both the hd2 and hd7, and am not able to dock either phone while in their cases...Due to the chargers fitting so well as to promote
stability while charging. (Of course it may depend on which cradle you own/purchase.) I have 2 different style cradles, and both give the same results.
I hope this helps.

Good Day,
I have purchased 2 different style cradles...1 from mygadgetgarage (hd2/hd7) (ebay) and the other from talkietech (hd2) (also ebay). Both sites treated me excellent. Fast shipping/Great prices.

i just bought a slip in real leather case by HTC. Good thing is you can just pull up your phone without using fingers to squeeze through the side when you need to pull out the phone.

amor_istore - 1800 mAH Battery - Picture Gallery

Well I just got 2 of them in, and took some good shots of them. Marking them in the pictures.
Check the gallery for the links. Also, the fake battery doesn't fit with the normal back case.
*note* I knew I wasn't exactly getting legit batteries, so $11.98 wasn't a big loss

lololololololololololo!!!!!111!11!

This battery blows, it really does. I want to try the other 1800 mAh variety I've seen around. Instinct tells me it's probably garbage as well, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I think I'm going to start a battery review thread for the Incredible as soon as I get around to testing the ones I have (stock, OEM 1500 mAh, this one and the OEM 2150 mAh). Too many people have the same questions about the same batteries.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I like this idea a lot
HTC Incredible

I also ordered this battery. It's about the same as the stock battery life for me. I may try to order an OEM 1500 here soon. I heard the 1800's on amazon are legit (not OEM, but work). But they don't allow you to just order the battery. You have to get 2, plus a charger.

Yuppers - I also just got my 2 and to be honest they kinda fit ;-)
I can get them into the phone and snap the top and bottom of the rear cover down but not the sides. I have been using a BodyGlove case that snaps shut so it holds things together. Since I am using the hard shell BG case I may try to remove the back plate completely and see what happens....but like you said $12 is not life changing.
For those that LIED about these batteries simply 'fitting' with the rear case and working - please do me a favor and go screw yourselves.....liars.

I was able to get my 1800 from that ebay seller to fit. I hate to push a bit harder to snap down the sides, but it fit. But they are knockoffs, so I doubt there is much statistical research into making them all exactly the same size.

Mine fit. And they work better than the piece of crap that came with my phone. Sorry if it doesn't work for you. I use my phone all day and I move around too much to charge it. I have four of these batteries. I'd say on average, the original gives me probably 6 hours, where the "fake" gives me 8 to 9. Change my battery once a day and never have to worry about charging. That's with heavy usage. And it was only $5.98.
Call me a liar if you want, just sounds like jealousy to me.

Today I got 8 hours out of it and im at 50% now. Pretty good after first charge and for $8

14 hours, 16%...
Only complaint so far is the back of the phone fits toooooo snug and therefore my case fits more snug and now it puls on my screen protector and peels it up.

I just ordered another 1500, looks like HTC sells black only batteries now.
They say 'HTC Innovation'.

Just a cut and paste of reply in another topic:
I bought two 1800 with a charger off of ebay for 15 dollars. They fit in the regular case (just barely) but they maybe last a few hours longer than a stock one. I can make it through 8 hours at work now without having to plug in. Oh well, I now have two extra batteries I can quick swap and go in case of a pinch..
It does fit in mine. Not sure if its and updated version to those of you who say it doesnt fit though.

FWIW my "oem evo" 1500mAh $4 Ebay battery did pretty well.

I bought two of these batteries from this seller and I got them to fit. And as far as them being crap, I went for over 48 hours on just one of these batteries with medium use. Try doing that with a stock battery.

I bought the HTC Express 1800 battery and it's working fine for me, and it fits in the phone. Yes, a bit snug but I don't have any issues with my case or screen protector.

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.
