Samsung desktop dock

Does any one have the samsung desktop dock for the captivate?
I searched all over and can't find the included items. I need to know if it comes with a usb cable, our if we need to use the one that comes with the phone.
One of the reasons why I want this is to have a charger at home an one at work, but if the dock doesn't have a cable the price is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

No, the desktop dock doesn't include a cable, you have to use the one that came with your phone or just another standard micro-USB cable.
The model number is ECR-D981BEG, search Samsung's website.

Since I already had a ton of mini USB cables from previous phones/computer devices, etc, I did not want to have more laying around so I purchased one of these...
www.amazon.com/Motorola-Mini-USB-Mi...4GOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288635138&sr=8-1
They work pretty well and I did not have to buy anymore cables.
Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot guys. Great help!

Adaptor to get a full charge from 3rd party chargers

Got this from the German Amazon site. 5 days shipping to UK.
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B004IK...753396-0643611?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product
Works with a 2 amp charger I have, no not charging symbol.
Will test later with laptop and Mac usb

Wait, so finding a 2 amp 3rd party charger isn't enough?

No, there is some circuitry in a branded Samsung Tab charger that tells the tab to pull down the full charge. A third party charger will work but very slowly and the tab shows a not charging symbol in the menu bar. This little adaptor in my first post fools the tab into thinking it is connected to an official charger.

Don't know. The package came in a jiffy bag with just the invoice and no other packaging so it's hard to do any detective work by manufacturer or product code.

I ordered a couple from the Amazon DE website a lot cheaper than Amazon UK, if you order more than one, even though you have to pay post and packing.
Nice find i just hope they work.
I don't read German so it was fun placing the order

Wish I'd bought two at the time. Now I have to pay another lot of postage.
It's charging now from my laptop USB. 5% in 10 mins so much faster than normal.

I have a couple of these data/charge cable on order, they seem to get a good review, they are cheap at only £1.60 each.
They take about 10-15 days to deliver, so dont buy if your in a hurry.

I bought a couple of 3rd party cables too. They seem identical to the original, minus the Samsung logo. You'll still need an adaptor like in my first post of you want to charge fast from usb or 3rd party chargers.

I guess the stuff you used is essentially what's inside these adaptors.

I dont want to go modding chargers, some are not easy to get into, also some device might not like the mod, it`s easier just plug in an usb adaptor , also+ , I am definitely not going to mod the ports on my notebook , when the usb adaptor work on your notebook too.

dunno with tabs, but i had an experience with blackberry which oftenly charge with 3rd party charger (for car) which caused ic charging damage. I had mili charger but haven't use it with tabs just because the original travel charger is so simple to carried out with

I received my usb/usb adaptor`s and they seem to work great with all my usb chargers and even with my notebook, though the data connection does not work.

There is no circuitry guys. Its a standard for USB charging where the data lines are shorted. I use my 1A HTC desire charger regularly and it works just fine. Just need to get a good charger.
What I'd like to see is something to let me charge and sync at the same time because often at work battery dies while I'm debugging.

Not Correct, I have been soldering the data lines together on my usb chargers for years to get my Sony mp3 to charge and non of these chargers will give me full charge mode, just trickle, now the usb/usb adaptor works great.

Have to agree here! I've several HTC USB chargers, and not one of them will do more than trickle charge my Tab unless I use one of these adaptors.

Well my Razr i has the desk dock app preinstalled but I cant find the actual dock for sale? Is it not out yet or am I missing something?

That is true.

Actually, I am looking for a simple, usb charge cradle for bedside charging of my Razr i. The Amazon.de cradle (page 1) looks very nice, but does not deliver to abroad (The Netherlands in my case); and I cannot find this charger in my country. The official one (Amazon, page 1), is much too sophisticated for me.
Anybody any idea, help for a usb charge desktop cradle, nice design, which ships internationally (The Netherlands, in my case)?
Thanks in advance!

Don't think that they would fit as the MicroUSB plug is the wrong way round (on the first one you can barely see it on the picture and I guess the seond one has an HTC Sensation mounted and there the socket is the different way round to the RAZR i).
This one might be better but don't know for sure... : http://www.amazon.de/Desktop-Charge...TF8&colid=3H1MXASJ3ECXT&coliid=I1R3WOTI4LCZGM, at least it looks to be the correct way on the picture but may be a different size/length...

Yes kalleh is right, my post with the cradle from amazon.de was wrong!

BTW: The original Samsung S3 one fits (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0081XHNE4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01)

The Mumbi Dock for S3 should also fit. It's just 9 Euro

But it looks kind of silly....

Would the Ri fit with a case? I have a Case-mate Barely There, it' adding 1mm at the back!

All in one mhl adapter

Since there are a lot of knockoffs on ebay I thought I would come in with a pleasant surprise. I bought http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?itemId=130783773578this expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works on my Note2. The only thing is the usb cord is not very long and you have to have it plugged in so that the phone is charging for it to work, but for the price is awesome.

I ordered one just like that off of ebay as well and it works for me too. They all have to be plugged in to power to work.

Well I learned something today. This is my 2nd Samsung phone and first experience with mhl adapter and didnt know it HAD to be plugged in. Thanks.

Thanks for the link.. at $12 it's a cheap enough gamble.
Can you detail where the length is lacking? Easy enough to add an extension for length?

The HDMI part of the cable is 6 feet like advertised but the usb power part is less than half that length. I have a usb extension cable somewhere but can't find it to try it :banghead:

That's what's posted up a bit and mine wouldn't work without power source. Learning curve lol.

One thing I did notice is that even with it plugged in and "charging" after a couple hours on watching you tube the phone dropped from 80% to 72% battery so not really sure if it's charging or if it just takes that much power. I was using the wall charger that came with my phone so it should have been getting the 2 amps.

I think this mhl cord probably only allows 500ma. Something I use to counter that is this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby
It allows you to turn off your screen, because even on the lowest brightness it still eats up the battery.

Good thread. There are a couple on amazon like this as well

For those of you who shop at monoprice, their 11 to 5 pin adaptor is back in stock and they even bundle it with an mhl adaptor.
I can't link to it as I just registered here, but it's under accessories>cell phones

Our phones are pretty picky when it comes to which adapter they work with. I've tested a couple actually and I can vouch for the one made by analogix. I would post a direct link to the amazon listing, but as a new user I need to rack up 10 posts...
But if you search "SlimPort HDMI Adapter - Connect MyDP enabled mobile devices to any TV" it'll come up as $29 Prime.
This adapter, while expensive, works very well and has not cut out on me during hours of straight use. It has a charging port to provide power to the phone while in use, but i should tell you that while i had this connected my phone still discharged very slowly. Maybe 1% every 5-10 minutes. But that's with wi-fi, blutooth connected to a keyboard and mouse, and an aux cable hooked up to my speakers. So... not bad.

I got this one:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/161112913690?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Works great. With Wifi & BT on, battery got discharged about 4%. Not too bad considering that even the screen remains on.
The "slow charging" message is always there.
Anyone knows how to turn the screen off while connected to a big screen?
EDIT:
Oh cool.. found an app which does that!

I've yet to see if it works on Slimport, but I don't think it'll be a problem..

Hey guys, I'm thinking about using a slimport adapter with my charging dock. Could you please tell me if they will work together?

I've tried this trick before on an official Samsung dock and official Samsung MHL adapter on an S4.
Didn't work.
MHL/Slimport utilizes alot more pins for it to work and I strongly doubt the charging dock will carry all the signals. Most probably it just carries the 2 power lines over.

I tested the slimport; worked with a few HDTVs but there is a 1080p Samsung TV made a few years ago that doesn't work with it. Could be HDMI port compatibility problem. I was able to get the same TV display the screen of a moto photon phone just using a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
Anyone tried miracast with 1080p video?

I'm using the Cable Matters slimport adapter. It's a little glitchy.
It needs to be disconnected and re-connected once in a while, but more importantly you cannot connect the power or it cuts out completely. The G2 battery holds out ok and charges quickly so I'm just rolling with it but you may want to try another one before going to this.

My adapter only displays the camera in portrait mode. Is that a problem for anyone else or just my adapter?

Sorry to bump this thread after a while, but I was wondering the same thing. What is the best value for money Slimport on the market?

Just bought this one from monoprice
http://www.monoprice.com/mobile/product/details/10252
Reviews say it works well with the G2
& it's $11.50 during Black Friday weekend!!!
