Does anyone know where i can get a dock for the HTC Legend? Looking to put it on my desk. Something like this would be perfect:
It seams the dock for Nexus one or desire, but this two phone have three connection pins (to charge the battery) in addition to the micro USB connector and I think, expecially for the form factor, that we'll never see a dock for Legend.
Sorry David67 but the Desire does NOT have three connectors.
It only has the one (USB connector) - exactly the same as the Legend.
I have so far been unable to find a dock for my Desire or my Legend but would be very interested to hear of any "out there".
There are now several docks from several different sellers on ebay. Mainly this version:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Base-Dock-C...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item1e5ba07d1e
and this type
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Legend-Andr...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5ad90428e6
Second one is "better looking" with the chrome detailing, but from what I can tell from the pictures the Legend won't sit flush fit the cradle, almost hovering on the usb connector. The first one seems like it allows the Legend to sit firmly in the cradle/dock.
There's a dock (or 'sync-charge cradle') on Clove under PDA Accessories --> HTC --> HTC Legend. It looks quite nice.
Plenty now also on eBay
I bought one off ebay, works perfectly. Leaving ur phone hanging by the tiny little micro usb port seems precarious though, but what can u do...
If you buy from an HK seller (or China), make sure to pay the extra $1 to have it shipped via registered airmail, much faster and basic tracking number
I bought a Proporta cradle ... working fine and useful!
I went to an office supply store, bought a metal business card holder, bent it to the appropriate shape, put it on my desk, then put the phone in the holder. The USB plug is still exposed so I can charge it too! Total cost = $2.50 Canadian.
Docks are cool, but I think they're generally way too expensive.

The bent card holder sounds like a great idea. However, I am uncertain of what the card holder you used looked like. A photo would be very helpful to those of us who might like to follow through on your idea.

Hello again, Nerdz.
This review will be for the all mighty docking station with built in battery charger and spare battery. I found it for $49.97 and received a 20% discount with the purchase of two other accessories. One of which was the Power and Protection Package that was aleady marked down by 25 dollars and I still received the 20% off of the damn box as well. I hope your experience will be as excellent as mine. (Father's Day weekend) I scored an awesome wife..
After a long hard day of work the last thing you wanna do is stare at your phone. So I give you the DOCKtor. It is your basic docking station with one micro USB port for the power pusher. It has a recessed area for the USB port protector and can also fit the phone with the expanded battery attached. The battery port is also equipped to fit the fat beast of a battery you may or have purchased. it has a light indicator for the charging battery. (Red, Yellow, Green) and a nice white LG logo that illuminates once the phone is docked. DESKHOME launches and automatically displays the digital time.
Let go of your phone and enjoy your much bigger monitor sitting on your desk. This works great with the HDMI cord plugged into my HDTV and the AUX from the sound system leading into the phone. It is a nice way to ignore the ROKU and tell it, "anything you can do my phone can do better!"

Ask if you want more or different pictures.
What case is that in those pics? Do you like it? The stand looks kind of awesome, but I can't tell if the bulk of it is distracting at all.
also curious about which case you got.

I just picked up this case off Amazon. There is a belt clip that goes with it. Works great.

That thing is slick! Though I sent the revo back so now on to look for something different

that case is practically standard for most smart phones in the verizon area they have like that case for almost every smartphone just go in there and ask to purchase the belt clip for your phone and they will probably bring out that one....saw one for the iphone too and the thunderbolt and all kinds of other phone lol

Very true. Just a heads up, Verizon sells it for $29.99 plus tax. Amazon? $17.00, no shipping. I love mine. I had on my phone for 20 minutes, then my twin 18 month old boys and I were playing, one little guy reached in my pocket and ran off in 2.5 seconds. Then it went across the room, and off the dining room table, bounced off the floor and out the door as my wife was coming in the house. It finally rested on my concrete patio. It was ridiculous! Phone? Perfect. Case? Barely a scratch.

That stand looks bad ass! To bad you have to remove the case to use it :/

This is pretty slick, time to get the dust off the wallet and get me one of these - thanks for the info

Obviously not or I wouldn't be asking.

I've had two different desktop docks and has anyone else noticed that when they painted them, they left some spots thin so you can see light shine thru. It was better on my second one, but there are still spots.
+1on the belt clip case with the fold out stand....works great. I got it from the verizon website when i ordered my revo.
The desktop dock is on the vzw website, amazon, etc.
Thanks for sharing.
I have that same case but I was having problems with the phone getting very hot. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem?
I haven't had the heating issue. My only complaint is they don't make that case for an extended battery. otherwise, I love it. fits the holster nice...Its good.

After breaking the Buckle on my Stock Band and having a cheap Temporary one piece replacement fitted. I found that an old Belkin Charging Dock for my now retired SGSII fits the G Watch R.

Wow, what a great idea!!! I've been trying to think of a way to hold my Urbane charger. I have several old desk docks laying around and the first generic dock I tried works perfectly. Thanks!!!
Deleted...
I thought of this idea too, but went through so many on DX and FP before giving up and making my own. Will probably buy this since it looks like it's a perfect fit!
That is a good idea. I should have one of these charger somewhere?
I bought the Belkin dock, and it did not turn out as I planned. Like the 4th pic, the charging piece does not sit at the correct angle to match the back. Angling it forward will make it too vertical and the watch will detach from the contacts. Using tape to angle it back and secure it to the back of the dock creates a gap where the weight of the watch will force it off the charging piece. I could brace the bottom with something thin like an SD card, but this is inelegant
Long story short, I wasted $15, and have much higher hopes for this $20 solution instead

Been following their product on kickstarter, anyone planing to buy one of these? Having reversible charger like type-c is good IMO but don't know if it effects fast charging ability of note 5
Got a link?

Also you can Google znaps for their kickstarter website. Right now they are getting pre orders
That looks really cool actually

That is something that should have been invented years ago... They need to have a bulk purchase, I'd need a dozen sets.
Definitely yes, now they have way more money to launch the program so its definitely coming out. I always been jealous of Apple's lightning cable, now we have one ?
That is so awesome, I ordered a couple microsd kits. Keeps crud out of your microsd port, and easily snaps and charges like macbooks. What a great idea!
I was a backer and now waiting! Order a type - c, lightning for iPad and of course micro USB.
Tapatalked with my Note 5
I am also backer and waiting for the release now. Ordered 3 different sets: Micro USB, USB type c and lightening. They specifically mentioned that it should not affect the speed of fast charging, so I really look forward to it. I also think it may be a good idea to make a stand out of cable so to place the phone on a stand to have it charged...
I saved the campaign site for later but forgot that I save. Now I have to pay more to get it that sucks :/
I am a backer of this as well. Looking forward to getting the product. I ordered several.

There are already adapters like this on Aliexpress and Ebay
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Silv..._73_74_75,searchweb201527_5,searchweb201560_9
I believe you can find a lot of these on Amazon now too. I don't think I have seen one as thin as the znap ones though
I've seen it before but it's too big compared to znaps and I am using case on my note 5 so don't think it will fit on. Maybe in future I'll remove the case until I adapt the phone's size. I always used 4.3" or 5" and the naked note 5 is also too damn slippery I don't want to break it.
got this cheapo magnet cable from aliexpress (will find the link later) ordered it weeks ago.
seems to charge at 8.8V @ 1.6A so its not bad for us$4 shipped.
makes it difficult to use a standard cable now. although there are better designed ones for $12 which are thinner and don't stick out as much.
video of cable is use and fast charging current voltage:

link is dead 404 maybe just too cheap. $3.82 each, lucky i got a few.
anyway $10 for the thinner better ones isnt too bad, here's the search link:
www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?Search...9&initiative_id=SB_20160316041032&needQuery=y
if this cheap one can carry the current then im sure the brand name ones can too.
i have sent msg to seller about why his not selling anymore, when i bought them i could select 10+ units, but it was actually more costly, so i bought one by one
the magnet is actually too strong as my tablet usb port is a little larger so the connector comes out with the cable, a little glue will fix it though.
where as the s7 edge port is tight, needs dental floss to pull out
overall very convenient for sure.
@h3ck $10 to much for ya?
heres another $4 one, looks thinner too... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...Charger-Charging-Cable-White/32624008438.html
That looks pretty terrible imo, but for the price, I can see why.
I'm still waiting for Znaps to come out:
http://www.znaps.net/collections/micro-usb-version
yeah its no god for a $1k phone but is perfect for my tablet.
i ordered the thin looking one so will see how that turns out.
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32607321932.html
This is the same one I'm using, small plug, cable is very soft, good for holding your phone while charging, so the cable won't snap off easily.
Btw i tried with QC2.0 charger can get 9v 1.5-1.6a
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Are these connections such that direction doesn't matter? In other words, can you rotate the cable 180 degrees and it still connects and charges properly?
@meyerweb yes kinda like reversible usb-c but with needing to plug in, doesnt matter what angle, it will snap in the correctly - the whole point is the total ease of use.

Cool. Thank you. At home I generally just plop the phone down on a wireless puck, but this would be great for the car.
I saw this on ebay and bought it.

Got it and it's complete crap. The portion that goes into your device will not stay in the device. So the magnet is strong enough to pull it right out. Spent $4 on it and I don't think it's even worth that. I contacted the seller, we'll see what happens. Buyer beware!
I just ordered this one for $3.98. I hope the quality doesn't suck.
The other ones looked like they are too wide at 17mm width to be used inside a case.
SWEETLF one on Amazon is about the best you'll find. I've been using it for months now.
