WTF: Wireless charging battery door - WHERE?? - Thunderbolt Accessories

What the hell is the story on this door? It still isn't on the website, and the CORPORATE store looked at me like I had two heads when I asked about it. Is this some sort of soft launch or what???
Can someone please detail EXACTLY where they bought theirs??

I saw it at the corporate store in my town. They didn't have it on the sales floor, but the clerk was happy to run to the back and get it. He even let me try it on my phone to see how much bulk it would add.

We have them at my corporate store in the Phoenix, AZ area. I can get a part number once I am back from vacation for you if you'd like.

I see it on the online store now.

I got mine at a regular Verizon wireless store in Elizabeth City NC believe it or not.

I couldn't find any in the stores near me. Ordered online this weekend.

looked in 2 different stores today with no luck........I did however find the otterbox cases

Got mine at the Gilbert AZ store. Doesn't work right with CM7 unless the phone is powered off. Otherwise its awesome. I recommend the energizer QI charging pad.

Can you elaborate on exactly how it doesn't work right with CM7?

When I set my phone on the charger it doesn't charge in CM7 unless the phone is off. Wish they made a back for the extended battery and qi charging...

Well crap, I was wanting to get this. Guess I won't now with CM on my phone.

Confirmed not working on CM7. In fact; the only ROMs it seemed to work on were Froyo based.

Which Gilbert store? Market and Williamsfield?

The one by San Tan mall in Gilbert AZ. Buy the qi energizer charger from target instead of the one they sell in store.

That is my store

Knowing that it wouldn't work with CM7, I bought it anyway... I'm sure it's just a matter of time, right? Plus, I got it for 21 bucks! Priced at 29.99, instead of the proper 39.99 - they sold it to me for the listed price, plus I get a state employees discount.

It is most likely a kernal issue, most problems with charging on roms are due to the kernal. I know some of the non cm7 kernals say they support wireless charging so might just be something cm7 team has not gotten to since they use different kernals than most GB roms.

Well considering that the kernel source for the TB is available and all, the CM team should be able to figure something out. I'm thinking that this will come after this has been merged with the main CM tree and has reached a full "finished" version.

Thanks for the info, guys. I was finally able to get one from their website and it works great with the Energizer qi base.

I appreciate the heads up, but is Sprint really going to release and $40 HMDI video dock so when can stand our phones up when we stream from YouTube? lol I think that will be a better release when the phone can actually use its HDMI out for something more useful. I recently read on here that iphonemoviez.net works through the HDMI out because the movies streamed play on the stock media player, but that is just a coincidence more than anything else, IMO.

You're going to have to provide a lot more details than this. I agree with the other poster asking for an SKU and i'd also like to see some pictures. Your claim that these will be released on 10/7 is interesting, but where are the facts?
uh, whats a battery charging case?
Sprint SKU & Accessories
I've noticed that you can now order a
HTC HDMI Cable (D-type to A-type connector) from sprints website for $29.99 but don't notice a docking station. Also, bestbuy was suppose to carry the HTC dock but still no such items listed on their site.
The best two sites I have found for EVO items are
seidioonline.com
ProClip.com
Wondering if a Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery for $49.99 is worth the money - how much talk/data time can I get? Note: the standard battery is 1500mAh
The skus are evh1357q and cxh4613q.
They aren't preloaded yet, my info comes from our accessory update spreadsheet.
The charging holster, will charge your phone while its in the holster.
Im not asking for payment now, just when they are available for shipping, who will be interested.

wait so your saying its a holster that you wear on your belt or what not, that charges the phone while its in the holster and walking around? what?
as for the bolded? why the f would we buy anything from you? why would we not just walk into a sprint store and buy it instead of risking money with a brand new member of this forum?

The charging case is like this but obviously for the EVO. There is a battery built into the case and the case has a microUSB plug that is plugged into the phone. The case, if it's like the one for the iPhone, would be able to run the phone like a car charger or top up the battery when the phone battery runs low.
The charging case was in the pre-launch presentations for the EVO if you remember (first image in the link, bottom right).
I'd also like to note that the SKUs that the rep mentions above are the same as the SKUs listed in the slide at the link immediately above.
Another interesting thing to note is that the Desire HD is supposed to be released in October. Very similar to the Evo, if not the same, so accessories might fit both.
Well I just checked Sprints accessory sheet. Rms. Rsp and I connect and I don't see a thing about this

Like another poster, why would anyone "pre-order" from you when you're a faceless person when if your rumor is true, they can just go to a sprint store and buy it directly when it comes out? After all, you've got no legitamacy and it's not as if you're offering a discount. You're simply claiming to pre-order from you. Yeah, hang on, let me get my creidt card.
If you don't want to order from him, don't. He is at least trying to provide release date info on some accessories people have been wanting. I don't understand all the whining and complaining. When october comes around we will know if he is full of it or not.

Desktop docking station

Yes there is a docking station coming to Tmobile for the My Touch 4G.
that's great, thanks for the info.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Any certain time line for when these might release? I wish they would have these when the phone launches, it sucks needing something and having to wait so long after having the phone already. I guess they need to see how successful it is bad damn, bring it already.
need one for work and home ready to give up some money.
Any word....starting to get impatient.
Tmo salesman at my local store said he was surprised there were so many accessories available day 1, and that it would probably be a few months before the rest dropped, if past performance was anything to go by.
I have never understood why they wait to put out accessories for new devices. I hope they get at least the desk docks in time for christmas.

You have to be careful with these questions at retail locations. There's a universal 'car dock' they sell for the mytouch line. Not all t-mobile employees and reps know the difference between an actual dock and a 'phone holder'.
Did they specify that it was a mytouch 4g car dock with the docking pins? If that's the case, I'm very excited!
If it were, we'd have heard about it somewhere.
Well the Vibrant docks are just getting into stores yesterday so one can only assume it'll be another short while until we get ours.

Docking station finally here
The docking station for the Mytouch 4g is finally at T-Mobile. $49.99 You can find it under accessories at T-Mobile under chargers for the 4G.
yup they had the docks for awhile now at TMO stores, well where I live they do.. but fyi - the dpck is just a dock with no power cable/usb cord and it uses the usb plung instead of the docking pins... If your like me, I bought the dock and modded it so I no longer have the usb plug but use the three pins on the side of the phone and it automaticlly goes in to desk mode, plus its easier to just put it in the dock instead of fighting with the usb plug...

I'm kind disappointed I just got a MTG4 off ebay in great condition and can't find a good dock for it. I've been searching the net and haven't had much luck. I found a post on here for one but the link is broken now.
Does anyone have any updated information on a Desk Dock that actually uses the side pins?
Thanks,

Unfortunately I haven't found any that utilize the 3 pins on the side. I don't think they are going to make one. Although there is thread on how to mod one yourself.

All the roms (excluding cm7) will run webtop. It's just usually NOT included in the rom. If you need webtop, Samcripp has provided webtop fruitcakes in his thread, they can be flashed with cwm.
Most roms include one of faux123's kernels. So you will more then likely have a webtop status bar that does not function. Obviously faux is working on this. I am using a 1.3 ghz kernel he provided for testing. As far as I know, it is NOT a final fix.
Faux123 also provides a stock at&t kernel in his thread, that works perfectly with webtop.
Enjoy your lapdock!!

Thanks 95rr900, figures mine will be running CM7 when I get it, but I'll have to figure out which other one I want to use then, and just use an alternate launcher.
Will the AOSP rom do it? I would guess not since that's what CM7 is based on, right? has to be something based off of a moto ROM?
Anyone non US bought it successfully?
I'm from Argentina and I must tell, the price difference is dangerously huge.

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

[Q]Need a retail replacement Galaxy SIII box...can it be purchased somewhere?

Well I know this sounds strange, but My original box fell victim to a leaky roof, and now, I need a new one to maintain appearances (plus I liked the look and items...) Is there any place that sells everything(Galaxy Sleeve, Box, headphones, instructions, inserts, charger + cable [if possible]) without having to buy the phone itself again?
I recently caught an auction on Ebay, but didn't make it on time... so I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere else I could maaaaybe find one?
I already tried asking the store I bought it from for a replacement...no deal. Same with my nearby T-Mobile outlet. At least they gave me half a box with nothing in it...
Just curious, but how much did the box go for on ebay? Do you care if it's sprint/att/Verizon /etc?
