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

Universal Spare Battery Charger

Anyone running 2 batteries and wanting to charge them outside the Streak might want to look at one of these by Solar Technology International.
It's called a Camcaddy

Maplins sell them as part of a Freeloader Pro solar charger package.

How much mate?

Can you post a pic without the battery, mainly to see the pins if they are moveable, and also where does it plug into? USB? or goes straight to mains?
thanks

I have the Freeloader pro2 package with the cam caddy, niether charges my streak, I was gutted when I got my streak. Had been usind the charger for my camera battery & touch hd while out on treks but the streak won't take charge from it and the battery can't be charged from the cam caddy, neither can my sony nex5 camera battery, another £100's worth of beaut kit rendered useless!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I seem to remember the Freeloader Pro kit is about £60 with the Camcaddy. Don't bother with the normal Freeloader, it won't charge the Streak.
The pins slide and can charge many things. I use it with the official Dell charger and it gets the battery up to about 95% - for some reason it stops just short of 100%. It can also charge from the Freeloader but I only get about 60% from a full charge.
The Freeloader PRO needs a modification to charge the streak - if you feel confident, open it up, and then solder together the centre two pins on the USB socket, otherwise the Streak won't see it as a charger (this mod is required in general with all USB chargers)
I recently got a Lenmar USB clip - this also works with the Freeloader and is awesome and tiny!

I got one of these and it works pretty well.

[REVIEW][€4.6][$6.06] USB Car Charger 2.1A + 1.0A [charges like Samsung AC charger]

After reading the problems some have with charging the Note II in the car, all I could think was "unlucky sons of *****es".
Link:
1. http://www.eforchina.com/product/default!view.do?id=131225
Delivery:
1. Worldwide - FREE (15-25 working days) - I received it in 14 (Italy), it was sent as a gift so I didn't have to pay customs related taxes (or any other kind).
2. Worldwide - €2.14 Hongkong Post (7-15 working days)
Does it work?
1. STOCK CHARGER - http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/01/yjeryruq.jpg
65% -> 83% - 25 minutes
2. THIS CAR CHARGER
65% -> 83% - 26 minutes (I turned the screen on a couple of times and talked on the phone for under 2 minutes)
- current_avg displays 1600
- I used the stock cable - the rest of them can't use more than 1,05A (stock desire, stock SIII, and a few other charge specific usb ones)
Feel and quality:
Like it is "made in Germany". China is upping it's game (for a while now).

Congrats and I believe you now that it only works well with the heavy duty stock charging cable. I believe now that cable makes a big difference. I am testing a few "charge only" cable with various chargers, car and AC chargers. Results varies and choice of cable is a big factor.

Sorry..off topic..
where did you get those icons?

Which USB cable did you use? a regular one, or one that has the 2nd and 3rd pins/wires shorted?

Car charger with long cable
Does anyone know if there is a car charger out there for the Galaxy Note 2 that is extra long, (around 10")?

no we need it then say why iphone doesn't have wireless charger and I read it in many articles

You can get wireless chargers for the iPhone but not built in, you need to buy a case that has wireless charging capabilities. The only reason NFC would be used would be for proximity reasons so it doesn't sit there trying to charge thin air but NFC is not used to charge the phone.

But what about induction process and thanks

No wirles charger exists?
Not possible on this Phone?

Possible, but requires a bit of dexterity... video

Okay guys,
If you want a wireless charger, you can make it by yourself with only $2
Wireless charging is a simple technology, I know it because I'm working for a research institute
However, you must pay more money for "good-looking" accessories, with only $2, your accessories will be very "ugly" (they look "ugly" in my eyes)

Maybe wireless charging is not done via NFC

Hi,
I just Qi-enabled my gt-i8190n with an "Universal Wireless Charger Receiver for Micro-USB Cellphone" from dx.com (SKU 312818). It doesn't fit all that well. The cord is a bit long and the receiver unit blocks the flash... But it charges. Wirelessly.
Today I also noticed that they have an Qi charger made for SGS3 mini (SKU 337290). I'll order that too to se how it fits...
Then you just need to add a protective case of your choice.
Sorry for advertising dx, but that is the only store I have found to sell Qi-receiver for SGS3 mini. :/ (okay, sometimes you can find these in ebay too)

KiDiGi OMNI LC-UMB Rugged Case Compatible Galaxy S6 Charging Dock

Because of my issues I'm having with wireless charging pads and docks, I'm considering this universal dock to replace the one I've been using.

The best part of it is that it is a true universal dock, with the Micro USB connector being able to pivot forward and backward, as well as the unique ability to raise and lower the connector by turning a dial on the back of the dock:
My current universal dock just can't be modified enough to fit my S6 Edge with a very thin case on it, but this looks like it will fit just about anything. They also offer it with a reverse connector for those phones with the USB connector facing the opposite direction (Google, HTC, Windows, OnePlus).
They can be found for purchase on sites around the world, I don't work for the company, I'm not posting any links directly to product pages. Their own website incorrectly lists the LC-UMB as a fixed dock compared to this adjustable one, so there may be some issues with posting a link anywhere anyways.
Looks great, what are your thoughts?

Is this Dock compatible with fast charging?
I have a few Myrin Charging cradles which has been compatible with all my Android phones and tablets but it uses it's own propriety USB cables which does not support fast charging. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330827203249

it looks okay

I'll let you know soon! I have my Fast Charging adapter in my charging valet right now ready to go for when this arrives, and hopefully it will "pass through" the charger. In the past, my Seidio Innodock Jr would allow the previous king of USB adapters, the OEM Samsung 2.1A that came with the S5, to charge the device at 1900mAh as read from the Galaxy Charging Current app, so that's about as good of a "pass through" charger as one would get. But only time will tell, I've received a message from the place I ordered it that it has shipped and I should receive it sometime this week.

Just received the dock and can CONFIRM that Fast Charging does work on it when connected to the correct adapter. Fast Charging shows up on the pull down notification bar. This dock is solid, very nice looking, and should work great with future devices as well, no complaints so far!
