I got a brand new lapdock from my local Verizon store for $50 this week. The lapdock will only work if plugged into an ac outlet. I have left the lapdock plugged in to charge the lapdock battery for 2 days now. If I unplug the ac outlet with bionic in the lapdock the screen goes black. I'm running stock 902 firmware and not rooted.
Can someone explain the battery level indicators on the lapdock. There is a sticky note in the top right corner when the cover is closed that explains the charging light. I do not get any light in the top right corner when the lapdock in plugged in. On the front of the lapdock I can push the button it shows 5 blue blinking lights. Does this mean the lapdock has a full charge.
I picked up the last dock from the store so I might have to send it in for repair. Anyone have similar problems or suggestions?
when u press the button on the front of the lapdock it will show you some lights.
Each light represents 20% battery. At full charge you will see 5 SOLID lights. When its plugged in is the battery light by the sticker on the rear right of the unit lit?
Flashing lights sounds like you may need to return your unit.

No light by the sticker when plugged in. I had it charge for 2 days. The lights in the front blink and are not solid. It works fine if plugged into ac but as soon as I unplug the dock from ac power screen goes black. I think you right and might need to go in for repair. Thanks for the reply!
yep that 2 day charge may have done you in. replace it and unplug the new one when the battery on the back has a solid light
Sounds to me like it never even charged. Try a different outlet maybe?
It may be that the battery in the lapdock is improperly connected, which means no charging and no power. You could always open it up and take a look. However, I would personally try to have it warranty replaced by either motorola or verizon. I forget what their policies are.
Thanks for the suggestions. I called Motorola and I'm sending in for repair. They seem to think the battery is faulty or not connected correctly. Makes sense to me since it works on ac power and I get no lights on the lapdock that it's charging when plugged in.
Lapdock back in service. Sent it in for repair and it's back and operating normally now. Motorola repair was a breeze to use and quick!
How long did it take for motorola repair to get your lapdock back to you? From the sequence of your posts, it only seems like a few days.
Back in the startac days, moto had an authorized repair center nearby that I could drive too.
Called on monday and they sent prepaid box fedex. Received box and sent in on tuesday. They received wednesday. Repaired thursday and sent back out. I received it friday. Service was a breeze to use!

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/deluxe-htc-hd2-desktop-charging-cradle-p22701.htm
it has an extra battery slot for charging two batteries at once
built in headphone jack so you can plug it into speakers and use it as a media dock as well
there is a slighly cheaper version available which doesnt have the headphone jack built in
you can find this version here

Moved to HD2 Accessories
Should be a good bargain. I suppose that there arent any better docking stations around, particularly fot the HD2 model. I too have ordered the same thing (audio hack included) so eagerly awaiting its arrival
Sent from my HD2
I bought the same.
A word of warning, I tried to charge the bigger extended battery on it and it just lasted 5 minutes before it went with a funny smell and noise. I will send it back as there is still guaranty on it but I’m not sure if these chargers are just not prepared to take the bigger batteries.
Thank you for the useful info. With the cradle I also ordered an extended battery and wanted to charge it in the cradle. Now I will be more caucious.
My first question is: have you used an extended battery whitch comes with a flip stand cover, or an extended battery with a regular cover? (I ordered the one with a flip stand cover)
The second question is: have you charged the battery from within the phone (when the phone was attached to the cradle), or have you placed the battery into the cradle battery slot - without the phone attached?
This is very importand for me as I don't want to push my luck and use the warranty / send it back.
BTW: I recieved a call today from the seller... he apologised for lengthly shipping (took for over one month) and packed in a pen for capacitive screens as a bonus YAY
Sent from my HD2
I picked up one of these on ebay a while back - it was a version without the headphone jack and extra battery charger slot, but otherwise exactly the same from the looks of it. Was around AUD $20 with shipping from memory.
Worked fine with the usb cable, however the power cable when plugged into the same powerboard as my laptop caused it to build static up until it would not boot and I had to run the manual discharge cycle - could have been an issue with the converter for my local power source that came included though.
Sounds like a troubbeling power source. Maybe you have some audio sources plugged into the same slot? It can generate interference. Try moving the dock to another wall socket.

i wanna ask you about this cradle. i've bought it almost 6 months ago. it works good in time it causes my phone's usb slot to getting corrupt, i mean slot getting expanded so my phone's original usb cable can't fit into it so i can't recharge.
i don't know how i can fix the problem. is there anybody familiar with this kind of problem?

my crable it works good
If this is the same one I've seen on ebay (the one *with* the audio plug) - description says not good for T-Mobile USA version of the phone. Can anyone confirm this?
so it charges the phone and a extra battery at the same time?
Hi!
Bought this charger ages ago, started charging my batteries nowadays, and they got broken.
I might have left them on too long, not sure. After charging them a couple of times they gave false temperature/drain data to the phone.
For example:
With fully charged battery, phone displayed random % details like 1%, or 40%, etc.
With fully chardged battery flash in winmo didn't want to turn on, coz battery was low the phone thought
some Android roms failed to boot with the broken batteries. They were fine with a new one.
Sometimes they work ok.
With 15%, plugged in the original charger for 1 sec, after disconnect battery seemed to be on 100% for a couple of minutes and started counting down pretty fast, like a couple of % a minute
I "lost" an original default battery and an original htc extended battery :-(
So here is something to avoid. Got it from China.

thanks for the advice, I was just about to buy one
Was using them in my HTC Legend for a while, didn't notice any side effects.
Haven't got one for the HD2 yet.
The problem affected 2 htc batteries, shortly after I started using the charger. Maybe it is only me who has a defective charger. Maybe I left them on the charger too long (max12hours), but that shouldn't be a problem.To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time I had problems with cheap accessories from China in the last couple of years.
The quality of these products are often appalling.
Had a similar charger for my xperia x1, had no problems though...
I think its just only you with a defective charger, i have used this kind of charger for all my 4 batteris for about 6 months now and there is nothing wrong with it. Buy a new charger The charger stops charging the battery when the led turns blue so it works fine here
and it charges fully batteri for about 1-2 hours , it takes loonger with charging via phone
i've been using this type of charger for a while
(on both a stock battery & the replacement it came with).
i haven't had any issues with it to date
That thing looks like one of those cheap ass Chinese chargers that will break anything it's connected to. I know from experience - I had an external Molex (HDD) connector that caught fire while plugged in - NEVER again. That thing probably has NO overcharge control.

yes it has
Most likely the OP got a bad one
I have been using various Chinese chargers for the past several years (with various phones). I just finished charging my spare with one of them. They do have overvoltage circuits, and they would not sell ones that don't - they want to sell more of them, and having them catch fire or explode is not good business.
But quality control can have one slip through sometimes, and of course there is little recourse when this happens - the company is in China!
EDIT: I should also point out that there are no options. I don't think there are US, Japanese, or TW made models, though I haven't made a detailed search.
EDIT EDIT: Except for the boxwave charger, which has both a desktop holder and a spare battery charger. But even then I don't know where boxwave has them made - probably China...
http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Deskt...5X42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1297185146&sr=8-3
i'm using this now and so far no problems at all. i think there's a problem with your charger.
The charger eventually died. No lights or anything.
Thanks for the advice
I've just bought one of these chargers from e bay.it was from a UK seller . And I also got 2 batteries ,
Will let you know what happens
I got two (probably just a defective batch) and for some reason they discharged my batteries rather than charging them. I just thought that was kinda odd. If anyone else has any recommendations for an alternative external charger I'm all ears as my previous HD2's usb port broke off from wear and I'd like to prevent that from happening again.
I have the same charger and i have used it for over a yeah and i still get 1 day of full battery use like always
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Those of you with working chargers, where'd you get them from?
I bought the same type: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250796662523 (beware that these have US power socket)
The charger and one of the two batteries are working pretty well here. The other battery was discharged very fast. I think the charger stops charging before it's full. Anyway, for that price it doesn't really matter.
I've been using an identical one for over a year and haven't had any problems. Sounds like you got a defective unit.
There are disadvantages I've noticed though - they only charge to 99% (according to phone stats) and, unless I'm imagining it, the battery drains faster from 99-15% and then slowly 'til it gets down to 1% compared to a regular mains charge.
Also the USB output trickle-charges and takes forever to fully charge the battery in the phone. Only good for overnight.
I've got 3 batteries - 2 stock HTC's and one cheap Chinese one as I often find myself in situations where I'm going to need to use the phone for more than a few hours of heavy use - so a charger like this is worth it for me!
Same problems
Same charger from ebay. Killed about 5 batteries (had 5 total in rotation and didn't narrow it down to the charger until now....)
STAY AWAY!
Thanks for sharing your important things. if you did not share with me about this then i will buy this type charger. no no. :silly: i want to use USB charger.. if anyone reply me ? is it good for me ?

DELL MINI5 尾插转接成 MicroUSB母口
Seems to be ¥58 RMB + ¥12/25 shipping, which is approx
$10.99 - 13.00 each.
Taobao is similar to amazon as a web store, it doesnt ship outside china though.
It's a 30 pin dock connector on one end and a mini usb port on the other end, so you can use any old mini usb cable on it. (like most phones) It's MINI usb and not MICRO as used on very new phones.
Seems to use the same connector head as the otg cable one, might be the same manufacturer of the heads.
Dell should have made official ones themselves, the stock cable is redicilious as it's essentially propriatary. This is most true for being on the road when you need to charge, you need both the cable and a charger with an actual port. Buying a charger with a 30 pin dock connector built in means that it's tied to the s5/7. With this you can use and old microUSB charger.
Quick facts:
The Streak does NOT use the PDMI connector standard. It merely uses the same head and SOME of the same pinouts. There are no devices out that use standardized PDMI. Dell internally refers to it as the '30 pin dock connector'
This should work on the s5 and s7 as they use the same dock connector, wont work on the s10 as it uses a different 40 pin connector.
Nice idea but to my mind six months too late, Streak leads are now widely available and cheap to buy. I don't see their being enough of a market for this new adaptor for it to sell.
There's enough of a market in china to make these, as that's where these are being sold. The streak is only half a year old or so in china.
It IS late everywhere else though, they could have made them much earlier and destined for export. There's plenty of other random accessories like cases that have done this, and normal dock cables.
Regardless i'd like one myself, my streak will still be usable for quite a while. It's not gonna magically stop working or anything any time soon.

Can you post a pic of yours, or possibly what a pin out might be.
I would buy at least one of these if there were some way to get the seller to ship to the US...
What we really need is a 30-pin (pdmi?) connector to hdmi.
I'm gonna (hopefully) use my ds5 for another year before I change to one that has proper hdmi out.
Sidenote, I just learn about QuickPic yesterday ... and it makes my ds5 all that much more usable!
it's sad that the connector is specialized for DS5. Hope my original usb cable won't break..
I actually just picked up a DS5 charge/sync cable on ebay from a US seller cheap ($6.95/ free ship) for anyone in the states that's interested. Descent quality, nowhere near factory quality, but what I expected for the money. Great as a backup charger.

I've been on a search for months to get a Nexus 10 running permanently in my car without needing to take it back home to charge. I've bought tons of chargers and even invested in a $20 pogo cable but none of them could get a positive amps. I run Google Maps, Spotify and Bluetooth tethering and it would drain -300mA to -400mA, after about 5 days I'd have recharge it at home.
Tonight I stumbled on an accessories shop in Shum Shui Po, Hong Kong that sold a 2A car charger with a funny attachment. Turns out the USB extender has the data pins shorted. Now my N10 is charging at +700 to +900mA. Pogo cable is pulling all the amps as it can!
Here's a pic. Hope this helps people in their search. The USB dongle thingy on the bottom right has the data pins shorted!

I think this is the magic bullet. I don't think you need the charger itself as long as it says it does 2.1A: http://www.amazon.com/Charging-Charger-Adapter-Apple-iPad2/dp/B0042LF23I
Thanks for the information, so you can confirm that the "technology" (I quote this because I think this is just a resistor or a wire between data pin) is the same for Apple devices and the Nexus 10 ?
I found item SKU: 123582 in dealextreme and since I have an order to do on dx, I think I will order a few of them also (that must work also with my galaxy S3 I think ...)
Edit: more reading of the comment and apparently it doesn't work with samsung device, another device seem to work with samsung but it's sold out and when sold out on dx, it never appear again ... keep searching ...
I just ordered this two usb ports 3.1A (2.1A+1A) car charger It works great and only costs $3.99.
But even if you have a 2.1A charger, your cable has to support hi-amp charging as well.
Well, I search for a dual usb car charger which has the hi-amp modification for android (data pin shorten if I read correctly the forum) but not the modification for apple. Because I don't know why manufacturer propose 1 product with one port for android and one for apple, this is stupid because most of users don't have apple AND android devices. I think manufacturers should propose 1 product with 2 ports for android and another product with 2 ports for apple. (I can understand that proposing only one device doing the two interface is most interesting from a financial point of view but ...).
For example I have an android and an android tablet, two port usb charger are fine because for example I can have a 1A port for my phone and a 2A port for my tablet and charge the two at the same time. But if I have 1 port "apple" and 1 "android", I can charge the two the same time but 1 will take only 500 mA on the apple port:crying:
If you know such a product, I will continue searching and if I find I will post it ...
Edit: think I found it : http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Output-Charger-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00AAHRZI8/ but only on amazon.com, I'm from belgium and I can only order on amazon.co.uk or amazon.fr, keep searching ...
With the battery kept constantly full at all times it willend up killing the cells over time and in a couple years you will have greatly diminished charge capacity. Better to take it in over night every 5 days IMO.
Update: Found a link that ships worldwide, it looks like exactly the same product

I discharge/charge my iPads like this and the battery goes to crap after just 1-2 years. IMO all the recent batteries in tablets and cellphones don't last more than 24 months before the charge just goes to crap. My Nexus 7 is already barely able to hold a charge for just 4-5 hours of use.
That being said, I have an original 3G iPad that's going really strong. Surprising for a 1st gen product.
An update for a battery I brought 3 week ago for $8. This seller from ebay is batteries specialist. I can see it is LG COPY but its contain Li-ion. Its can do quick charge and wireless charging. The temperature is colder than original. Just not sure its can hold the charge. Probably need 2 to 3 charge cycle then can tell. Its came with about 56% Charge when power up.The label said 无品牌 meaning brandless. I usually uses my car quick charge 2.0 charger or Aukey 100000 mAh Power bank to charge when outdoor. Hope its will not explode xddddddd.

Why want warranty for a price like this?
Would you mind posting a picture of the top of the battery, where the connectors are? On the original I got a white dot, next to the edge, which is not present on the spare one. Also, I got mine from Amazon UK, it's stated as original, but curiously the date of production is exactly the same as yours (2015.05.27<L>). I think it could be the same label coming from the same vendor, since it's literally a perfect copy of the one in yours, which is a tiny bit different from the one on my OEM battery. I paid mine £15 (23$ more or less), which would be a shame for a fake. The good thing is that it holds the charge good so far (3rd cycle), it doesn't get warmer than the original one, and the nfc is working flawlessly. I was actually sure it was an original one until I popped in your topic.

Can you compare the battery life of the original and the one you bought with that seller?
1st option. try watching movie, or video recording for hours. and measure how it will long for both of the batteries. (just to know if they are both 3000mah or which one will last longer). The original battery will be the controlled standard and asummed 3000mah.
2nd option, just play one movie, (same movie same volume level and same brightness level) for both. start from same percentage level of the battery. After, compare battery level and the how much was lost.
3rd option, record UHD video , pointing towards a wall, the same wall for both, and record and dont interrupt for 20 mins maybe? start from same percentage level of the battery. After, compare battery level and how much was lost.
If you only have time, friend
