Will this work with the Samsung extended battery? I saw no mention of that.

It should work but I'll let you know for sure when I get it.

I think it's bull**** that they charge an extra 20 bucks for the same dock thats hardwired. I mean YOU hardwire it instead of plugging it in to a cigarette lighter!! It's more effort/work. They should charge more for the cigarette lighter one IMHO. Since thats the case, I will just cut off the lighter plug, splice the wires, and hardwire it that way.

I'm pretty sure the hard wired one includes an adapter box. You can't just cut the cigarette lighter adapter off because you need something to convert 12V to the correct voltage to charge the phone.
What I did was went to Radio Shack, bought a female cigarette lighter receptacle, hard wired THAT under the dash, and plugged the cigarette lighter plug from the dock into that. Works great.

I ordered mine in early Jan and just got conformation from them that it is shipping Monday. I got the hardwired version - I think the hardwired charger is better than the cig lighter version (2 amp vs. ?)
They are spendy but well worth it.

Will this fit the unlocked GSM model?

They have that listed as a separate clip. Just use the selector on the main page of their website.

Can someone who gets this test it out with a TPU case?

I ordered the Verizon Galaxy Nexus mount a while ago and just got it yesterday. It fits great, with both the normal and extended battery.

I would first start with looking at the ratings of these from Amazon then look for it cheaper if possible on Ebay.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...garette&rh=i:aps,k:car+phone+holder+cigarette
I currently use the cd slot mount and I love this. Just check out the ratings! I bought this through Amazon but it is no longer available for some reason. Search for it on Ebay. These are way better in my opinion than the vent mount. These are positioned lower than the vent mounts so they are more discrete.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E5W3D4/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
I just bought the go groove mount that attaches to the cigarette lighter. It has a built in fm transmitter and a charging area too. My buddy got his on Amazon, but I got mine at microcenter. I was hesitant buying it with the fm transmitter, but the sound is great. I highly recommend it.

Motorola Atrix Lapdock

I just purchased a Motorola Atrix Laptop dock and it should be here in a little over a week. I am curious though, I use an Otterbox Commuter series case... will i be able to use the lapdock without the removal of my case?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I don't have any case with my atrix+lapdock but I know that there is a piece in the lapdock connector that you can remove to allow the connection with a case.

Thank you very much.

Short answer, NO, even with removing the insert, the commuter will not fit. I had to physically modify (read hack) the case to pull the connectors further through the mounting location. The USB connector needs to come out further primarily.
Another option is to try a 5 wire micro usb extender, and a micro hdmi extension.
afaik the only cases which fit into lapdock-holder are mesh-cases (maybe, see other thread) and the incipio feather (which - I can confirm - fits in any other original-motorola dock).
The Motorola ruggedized battery cover also fits nicely.

I would also like to know the outcome of this. I use the commuter case as well.
The Incipio silicrylic case does not fit into the lapdock either. Only the HDMI connection is made, not the power, so the lapdock thinks only entertainment center is an option. I may just go for the rugged battery cover.

This is a better price if you are living overseas! The previous cable was $15 USD with a $35 delivery charge to Australia. This set is now $40 + $5 delivery fee for both cables to Australia!
Which seller offers the best price shipping overseas.

I can confirm that these cables work fine with my Rooted Stock Atrix - make sure you take out the extra plastic plate and fits together comfortably. It will be interesting to see if the other Moto phones with the reversed ports (Bionic, Razr, Atrix II etc) will work as well on it as well.. Hopefully they do if I decide to get an upgrade sometime soon.
It is expensive - but at least it works.

Charging dock for Note 10.1

I was looking for a charging stand so I can watch my Slingbox while my Note charges and found the Myrin Sync & Charge Dock on Ebay. It folds for portability and can be used either to charge or just support the Note. Because it has no sides, it can work with any Sammy Tab that has the 30 pin connector (nice as I have 3 around the house) and I don't have to remove the case to charge.
Nice find.
Good Stand
Very nice, looking for similiar stand kits with charging port :victory:
Hi couple of question does it has its own charging adapter or we use the stock samsung one
Also the case you have looks cool how much did you get that for
The eBay item says USB cable included, but I doubt you get the charger.
I think this original accessory should also do the trick:

Thanks, but that one has been discussed at length in other threads here. The OP's contribution is a link to a dock that has not previously been seen or discussed. :good:
It comes with a USB cable but not the charging block. You could use your original cable as well it just slots into the base as shown in the photo.
The case is from deal extreme for $15. It's Pleather and has the 3 viewing angles.
Instead of the charging cable would you be able to get a HDMI adapter in there

The HDMI adapter is, for some reason best known to Samsung, far thicker than the charging cable, so I'd sadly guess not.

Which wireless charger should I buy?

I want to buy a wireless charger for the Nexus 7(2nd gen obviously). I was think about the Nexus 4 wireless charger, but it seems that the Nexus 7 would be too tall for a perfect fit on the charger. Also Google has "not yet" launched any wireless chargers specific for the Nexus 7. What are the prospects of a wireless charger from Google designed specifically for the Nexus 7 this year? Should I go for the Nexus 4 charger? or should I buy a differ QI charger like Energizer ?

If you're looking for a budget one:
CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Mat
Isn't too bad. I use it. Not bad for the price. I think it came out to ~27 USD after shipping.
Not great, but at the same time worth what you get for it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that it did take about 10 days for it to arrive to me, dunno if that matters for you. It ships from China.
the dt-910 is perfect charging stand. orb works well too, but I prefer the Nokia
metrans MWT03 works flawless and very affordable

I went ahead and bought two of the Nokia DT-900's that was brought up in another thread.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=szkg61a3LRi
They are marked down to $24.50 and if you buy 2 items you'll get an additional 10% off. If you buy a third, I believe it knocks it down to 25% off. Anyway, I bought two, one for the wife and one for myself with tax for $47. Not bad. I think I'll take Artood2s's lead and make a stand!
Edit to change shipping to tax!

Might as well buy a legit Nokia one for that price!
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=H-aRg4I87Nd
EDIT: As the post above me stated as well. This is probably the best deal out there.
I suppose one benefit of the CHOE is that if you have multiple devices (i.e., phone, tablet etc.) that charge via USB Micro B, that you really only need 1 plug and wall adapter to bring with you if you want to charge with Qi. If all your devices do not have Qi. Not only that, this allows me to hook up my charging mat to external batteries as well as my solar panels.
That was the main reason why I got the CHOE over other options, as it is powered via USB, instead of a wall adapter.
I just went across the border this weekend and picked up the Nokia DT-900 for $24. Can't go wrong so I bought two. It works perfect with both Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 without the need to adjust the device just to get it to detect the charger. Well worth the money

AT&T was running a deal a few days ago where you get 25% off if you buy 3 accessories. I bought 3 of the Nokia wireless chargers for around $60. Might check and see if they still have that deal going.
I use this one (broke it down and mounted in my car dock) with my N7 LTE ... Charges faster (measuring amps) than wired connections. Just grabbed one for my N5.

sure thing.... I've been meaning to take some pictures of it anyway... it's amazing what you can do with a little bit of foam double sided sticky tape. Keep in mind this is for an N7 tablet so it has a bit bigger footprint than a phone car mount.
With that said, I hope someone (like google) does a QI car charger mount. I'm already missing my gnex pogo mount.

I know. More concerned about how exactly these things are usually configured prior to being slapped in a nice square plastic case to be plopped on a desk/dresser/etc... to see if doing what i'm thinking about is even possible. If they come small enough, i might be able to get it to work. If not, i might still be able to rig something up somehow.
Yes, though I didn't use it, this one seems really cheap. But for me, a reasonable priced product means quality to me. I would highly recommend this one, "RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger". It's really light and a great gadget to charge my lumia 920 in a wireless way. They're also compatible with many models. You can check it here from its amazon page, simply search RavPower wireless charger.

That's kind of what I thought until I read an article online the other day that talked about how most Qi chargers are made in China for less than $2. After reading that I told my self I am not paying over $20 for a Qi charger and found one for $10 shipped on Amazon. Its been awesome and I can't find any flaws with it.

-Yeah, I didn't notice the 1A detail when I bought it, but that is kinda funny. I know it's using 1.5A because I hooked it up to my Kill-a-watt and that's what it was reading- 7.5W, 5V, 1.5A. So that is kind of odd, but cool.
-I haven't tested it from 0-100, but from 2%-80%, it took right at 1hr, 15 minutes.
