My wife has a Captivate and as I hold it side by side with my Focus it looks like head phone and micro usb ports are in the exact same position. So this makes me wonder if this dock will work on the Focus??
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D981BEGSTA
This looks like it would. I found it for around 20 bucks online, maybe it is worth the try.
I'm not sure I would want mine in landscape mode, just because of all those incompatible screen layouts.
yes
By works if you mean does it charge your phone then the answer is yes. I dont think it does anything else. I haven't tried anything else though. Will check when I get home and report back.
Yeah I am wondering if it lines up and charges the phone.
Also, does this dock have the ability to connect to your PC via USB or is it hardwired with an AC adapter?
according to samsung, it is not *guaranteed* to work, and, to answer your question, it looks like there is a microusb slot on the back of it so you probably can connect it to the pc
I saw in the picture on Samsung's website that it looks like it has a micro usb slot, but in the Amazon review people were complaining that you could not connect it to a PC. Now that could be because they did not realize that they could use a micro usb cable instead of an AC adapter but i was not sure.
I guess for $30 it is not that big of a deal if it does not work for me they way I hope.
Thanks
Has anyone tried it yet?
It looks like the Captivate/Vibrant **** has the microUSB port in the right place, but not the Epic.
USB is USB, so as long as the physical location is correct, I can think of no reaso it wouldn't work.
Has anyone actually tried the Vibrant or Captivate dock yet to see if it fits

LOL I noticed that too
It doesn't "quite" work.
I bought one from eBay after noticing that they looked similar too. Once I tried it it was a mm or 2 off from fitting. I broke out the ol dremel after that and now it does work, but it won't without some moding.

I need to buy a back cover for my Streak (replacement battery door) but I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Does anyone know where to get one?
To add to the intentory, it would be nice to have a backup extra charging cable. Id too, like to know where to get a battery door and cable.

Ok, I have to wonder how you have missed all the excitment over the cables. Please do a search.
Also, if you all look around the forum there is a shop in the UK that can probably get your battery cover. Again can be found with a little searching.

I tried that store and I didn't find any covers. The only thing I found by searching was to try Ebay UK and they didn't have anything either. I'll ask the mod to move the thread to Accessories.

Thanks Jared, Id like to know too. What happened with your original cover? I know the hinges or prongs are so small and thin. I am hoping not to wear or bend them.
One of the L's fell off and I'm just looking for a spare.

Yes ive seen some otg adapters that dont use cable but was just wondering if theyd startd making the drives with microusb. I guess not, im sure thats the next step for the drives. ..

The otg adapter I have stopped working, I assume it is the cable always bending whilst in my pocket thats caused it so ill get one of the above

Or get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Right-Angle...emale-OTG-Adapter-Connector-1pc-/170940006572
for $3 plus change shipped, I would recommend right angle connector over straight one since it doesn't protrude too much outside of the case, and just looks cleaner with a phone without anything sticking out; also helps so you don't knock it out. With Sandisk Cruzer you can't even see usb drive, just a little flashing led dot.
I wonder if there is any flash drive will directly mount on micro-USB port.

Not *exactly* but its pretty close, its basically just an otg adapter with a normal drive. One of the benefits of having a dedicated microusb drive would be the size, it woild be able to be smaller that the 'normal' usb drives, much thinner.

I already use a otg adapter. Just for transfering files to a flash drive. I was just wondering if there was a microusb drive I could plug directly into the phone, negating the need for an adapter. Not looking to connect multiple items or hdmi or whatever and connecting an external power supply is just inconvenient, unless I understood it wrong? What benefits do a 11 pin off other than faster connection on multiple items?

Just FYI I had an adapter that looks exactly like this that I'd been using on my galaxy nexus. Doesn't work on my note 2. It almost felt as if it was a little too short to make a good connection.

Lol, that item already exists. Check the dealextreme link earlier in this thread. Couldn't comment on the IC chip they talk about but I have used micro sd readers before with an otg cable with no problem and those cost 1p free delivery from hong kong, they dint get cheaper than that so not sure how significant the ic chip is

Thinking about giving it a go too. If I switch my camera to a microSD card, it will make swapping pictures much easier.
Hey - I wanted to show off my latest 3D printed dock, this time for the nexus 10.
I borrowed the design ideas from what I saw posed on here and tried to build off of it.
I think the one unique thing about it is that it is made of glazed ceramic instead of that usual plastic. It is very study and has some nice heft, while keeping 3D printing costs down.
I designed it to be able to keep the nexus docked while in my folio case, since I will snatch it off the stand before heading out the door. However, this will dock with or without the case. (FYI this is my case: http://www.roocase.com/Slim-Fit-Veg...--Black-rooCASE/cat-p/c1000036/p10518806.html)
It is designed for the standard POGO magnetic cable.
I just wanted to get thoughts on this if anyone would be interested in one or what questions you might have about it.
I finally got together my shapeways site where you can order the dock if you're interested.
Let me know what you think, or feel free to post in the thread, thanks!
http://shpws.me/rY5i
Thanks again to everyone in this forum for the great ideas!
I guess no one, huh?
I am a little late to the dock party...

Agree. Unfortunate really...and surprising. I've had 3 of these in my family and none had any issues whatsoever. They are all in use and still running pretty darn good! I've compared to newer tablets but this really is still a great tablet. Not sure why this forum is so dead.

That's probably the reason, no issues = no reason to search for a forum to find fixes.

Hey! Sorry for the delay, I've been pretty busy with work.
I finally got around to setting up the storefront through Shapeways, and have a link to the stand you can buy directly from there:
http://shpws.me/rY5i
I only selected options for the ceramic material, since plastics would have sent the price over $100.
Let me know what you guys think and if anyone really wants to be a baller and get it made in plastic, I'll add in those options, so just let me know.
I have a just one other tip: I sanded the plastic housing of the POGO cable down just a bit with some sand paper and put a piece of electrical tape on it so when I wedge it in, it stays put on docking and undocking.
Let me know if you guys have any other questions.
thanks!

The dump my garbage goes to? Don't think I took it out of the box. Lol
But no....not sure. Demand is probably terribly low. Wouldn't surprise me if they aren't for sale anywhere .
Did you Google it? If not on Google....probably don't exist. IPhone probably sells them. They likely tell customers that they need the official one, or their phone will break and warranty will be void.
