Cradle For Fuze/Raphael With HTC's ExtUSB? - Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories

I want to charge my phone, eyeball the stock reports, sync with my PC and listen to my music while at my desk. A cradle would be perfect, I'd think. What I can't tell from all these cradle manufacturers is if they connect with the full HTC 11-pin ExtUSB connector or just the mini-USB connector. If they had a real ExtUSB connector, I could plug the (bulky) audio/charge adapter INTO THE CRADLE, then my headphones into that.
I was looking at something like the Fuze cradle at:
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/
Does anyone own a Raphael cradle with a ExtUSB connector or know if something like that exists? You'd be able to tell if when you drop your Raphael in the cradle, plug the headphone/charge adapter into the cradle, you can hear music through the headphones.
Thanks!

Well. Go to expansys-usa and find the cradles. Some are expensive, like the original HTC cradle which is around $40, and some are cheap like the expansys one (Don't remember price). Both have extUSB and have a 3.5mm in behind the cradle.

I just received the HTC Cradle to use with my Fuze in the office.
It looks awesome! Charges, syncs and plays music.
It has caused me two problems, however.
1. I need a bigger Micro SD to put music on my Fuze as this set-up will definitely replace having the iPod docked and playing.
2. I had to sign up for DashWire so I could receive and send text messages via my PC - and not have to remove the Fuze from the dock.

Hmmm I receive SMS while connected through USB cable w/o problems.
That HTC cradle is OK? Has it a slot for 2nd battery?
Dig the look of the second one but $100 for 2 cradles (office and home isn't that funny).

very similar to (or perhaps it exactly IS) expansyv's "deluxe" cradle, but relatively cheaper:

Went For The DEEEE-lux Expansys Cradle
Could have been kinda expensive, but I ended up with a "please be a customer again" 15% off coupon that made it more tolerable.
Thanks for the tip, all!
(Now, for a case! )

Did anybody purchase the one cyberblue quoted?
We all know cost is perhaps "a buck fifty" ... so why throw 40 into expansys' throat instead of 20 into another vendor - they are all made in China anyway...

@tvguy
HTC - No 2nd battery slot
eXpansys - 2nd battery slot under cover

I bought this one:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02926
Chose Brando as I have bought loads of stuff from them and always had great service. Only hitch was my local post office forgot to tell me it arrived and Brando had almost got to send me a replacement free of charge - lucky for them I got a reminder card (even though I didn't get a first card!).

I just received this one (ebay item 180308141073) from buy2asia and would state that it looks and works exactly like the one from expansys but is half the price. Arrived within 5 days and I am more than pleased!
Picture courtesy goes to "buy2asia"

will this work with the verizon version of the Touch Pro

If it has the same back I guess yes

It's $35 including shipping... how can that be half?
Don't get me wrong, I also got a few stuffs from buy2asia... he/she got really good price and nice items for the touch pro.
By the way, all of these desktop charger on this thread are beautiful. But they are so expensive. If they add a speaker on them and make it like the one for the ipod, then I wouldn't mind paying those price.

OMG. That is a brilliant idea! I should get a iPod dock and a cheap dock for the fuze and hack both and make it a fuze dock with speakers! I'll see if I can find these two things.

Tyguy and others who bought these docks:
There are two varieties with buy2asia on ebay:
One and Two.
Which one to buy? please suggest.
I'm using Touch Pro India version.

The only difference is, that one's price is an AU and the other's is in USD.
The first one should cost you $6 less. I don't remember the conversion rate to rupees so I couldn't tell you that.

@swordfish2 & Kraize
THESE TWO ARE DIFFERENT!!!
One has that ugly "hump" and has kind of structured plasticy surface while Two is the stylus one with flap to hide the 2nd battery!
For style I'd go with TWO and the one I bought is the "TWO-Style".

That's basically the one I got - from ebay, shipped from hong kong. It's a great dock and very nice looking. the only problem I had was they sent a european AC adapter (wrong plug). I have a bunch of usb AC adapters from other things so it wasn't an issue...
Without the spare battery, it's a little light so docking and undocking takes two hands - one to hold down the dock, one to pull out the phone...

Brodit is expensive, but I bought mine from www.proclipusa.com. I bought it because it was the only car mount that I found that had an integrated charger, and it supported the phone in portrait or landscape, keyboard open or closed. Pics attached of my Kaiser running TomTom Navigator 6 in my truck.

This is a 1998 GMC Sierra K1500 extended cab. It is very good. Just as easy as reaching the radio or the a/c controls. Watch out though, they are slow to ship. When I first ordered it, it was backordered and it took them 3 weeks to ship the vehicle mount, then it broke 2 seconds after I tried to install... I sent it back and it took them another 3 weeks to backorder and send me another. The second one went right on, and didn't break, and has been clipped securely to my dash for about 2 months now.
The total cost for the charging cradle & the vehicle mount was a little over $100 US. An added bonus is that I've taken to leaving my Motorola H700 on the cradle to charge when I'm not in the truck. It just slides right in. No more leaving it dangle at the end of a car charger with the cord slung over the gearshift.
When I first got it I had problems sliding the phone in, and it would just miss the USB connector by just a little, and stop at the USB connector. Now that I've gotten used to it, the phone slides right in, and I rarely have problems.
I've been very pleased with the exception of how long it takes them to ship. If you have any more questions just let me know...
-Jay
I had the same shipping experience, 3 weeks went by and I had to call just to find out it was back-ordered. They upgraded me to overnight shipping at no charge. I also paid little over $100, and yeah I feel insane to paying that much for a molded piece of plastic and car charger. After researching other alternative though, no wanting a suction cup based holder or others I figured I'd just order it.
I've been very impressed with it, and it installed easily. I was able to replace the charging cable with my all in one cable power/audio/mic cable and everything looks professional.
I ordered mine from proclipusa on the 23rd and received it on the 26th. Don't much care for their mounts, however, so that is on the way from panavise. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow so I can install it this weekend.
I ended up ordering one of these with the integrated charger. Not sure if it was worth the big bucks, but I did get it much quicker than 3 weeks. Took about 5 business days.
Here is my set-up
I use the Noreve case which I discovered fits the Krusell Belt Clips & other Mounts (as the stock Noreve belt clip is quite possibly the worst one inthe universe).
I have a Krusell Car Mount bracket screwed onto the Brodit/Proclips Dash Mount for my 2007 Ford Escape.
I and able to view & reach my phone for use while driving just fine. On the plus side, when I change phones I'll just need to find another case that hangs in the Krusell piece (which is very easy).
I even have my external GPS Antenna tucked behind the Brodit plate for easy access if I need or want to use it.
But Seriously, here is the cost breakdown for my rig:
$ 45 - Noreve Case (From Noreveusa.com, Use "CardMe" (case sensitive) Discount code when checking out to save 10%)
$ 40 - Brodit/Proclip Car Mount (From Proclipusa.com)
$ 15 - Krusell 58124 - Multidapt Slide Swivel Belt Clip & 58117 ( or 58127 newer version) - Multidapt Car Holder Kit (Round Thing) (From eBay user "Paylessalways")
$ 15 - HTC/OEM Car Charger (From at&t Corp Store with Discount)
$ 20 - External GPS Antenna (From eBay)
====================================
$135 - Total Cost
Knowing that you're happy with the case & car mount for the great Cell Phone/PDA/GPS Unit Lifestyle Device you have, PRICELESS!
Note: If you want a clip that will ratchet at 8 different angles, order Krusell 54116 - Multidapt Ratchet Swivel Kit instead of the slide swivel clip.

3.5mm to miniusb

I have a 3.5mm to miniusb adapter that came with my wife's Motorola SLVR. I tryied to use it with my Kaiser but it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why it's not working? Is there something that I have to enable on my phone?
Thank you.
The motorola adapter uses different pins so it won't work on the kaiser, sorry

Exactly. You'll need a HTC specific adapter.
Try ebay.
I originally had the simple USB to 3.5 adaptor but I couldn't charge the phone at the same time.

Or this http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150195
I confirm that on my Kaiser..the Motorola charger works fine on the Kaiser. This is probably the most reason why people also assume that the stereo adapter from the Motorola SLVR or L7 or any model would work fine. However the pin is supposed to be 11pins so you would need a different one. You can find one from the xda-developers shop or on ebay or amazon.com at around $5 +shipping would make it $10
Thanks guys for all the replys. Everything is clear now.

Be aware though that these don't seem to work on all roms, on Dutty's from the 16th it just works as a headphone adapter for me, the remote doesn't function :-(
I've tried a few of the HTC audio drivers to no avail, a few needed hard resets to recover from (yes I know most of the cabs are for different models but... ).
If you just want a headphone adapter a cheap ebay one would be the best option and use the rest of the money towards some decent headphones.
G
I'm using this one, it works fine. You can charge or sync while using the audio output.
@ajs007
Just thought you might want to know you can get that headset off ebay for like £15 delivered!
Thats what I'm going to do when I get paid, its from Hong Kong so a couple of weeks for delivery but its half the price!
Here's a shop whos selling it if you want one, they seem identical just have Dopod wrote on them instead of HTC!

Just bought this one:
It looks better than the one above.
Note: The above one will not work correctly
I have the same one as Kraize92 and it worked great for a month or two. Now I have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed in in order to work.
Junk!!!
Any other long term suggestions?
Thanks

The problem is that I bet your plastic came loose around the miniUSB part, so just pull it out a bit and apply super glue around it and then it should fit snug and you won't have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed.
The plastic at what part
What plastic part?
Are you talking about the plastic on the adaptor or the phone? I would like to get this fixed.
Thanks
I had bought that big one with the three outs before, totally sucked for my kaiser, had to push it down for it to work, then I bought the simple seidio one, miniUSB to 3.5, and works flawlessly. For those wanting to connect decent headphones to it and not having a big piece of plastic with three outs that you ain't gonna use, I recommend the seidio one
charging capability while using the headsets
I agree …The simpler the better. BUT I like the charging capability while using the headsets.!!!
Thanks
Mine just arrived. I love it so far. No problems.
@stress_analyst
Did you check and see if your USB port on your Kaiser is out of place? Because that could cause you to wiggle it before it gets a good connection.

HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control

Hey guys, I got a product for review that I thought was really cool.. not only is it a 3.5mm adapter but it turns any headset into a handsfree kit as well. and it's cheap, from my time with it I've found it seems to be good quality and should last quite a while..
While the title is 'HTC', it's not an HTC branded product.. just can be used for them..

Snippet:
"The HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control is from our friends at USBFever and it's really three things in one, a mini-USB to 3.5mm jack adapter, volume control and a microphone. This little gadget essentially lets you turn any headphones or earbuds you have into a handsfree setup. There are many choices out there for handsfree sets but really most have sub-par headphones included with them, and it's usually only one earpiece, with this gadget from USBFever you get to use your own headset. Being able to use any headset is very nice indeed, also you can get this for about $15.00 shipped to you from USBFever, so not only is it very useful but very inexpensive and well worth it..."
Full review HERE
Sorry if someone thinks this is spam or whatever, but I get quite a few things for review for my AT&T Tilt and there are a few that really stand out as being useful and this is one of them that I thought I could share
That looks pretty interesting. I was looking into buying the Seidio version, which has one of those spring-wound cords, making cable management easier. That being said, I like the button layout and clip mechanism on this one more... I think these are much better than the regular USB to miniplug adapters though, as it means you can essentially make your own earphones/buds a 'headset' thanks to the built in mic. In-line volume control is also a godsend...

No, that's ok.. just curious.. but it's just like the TytnII all kinds of stuff comes with it, but nothing comes with the Tilt, even though it's basically the same phone
don't know why ATT decided no to include the same things, it's the same price
well I guess I do know why, money..

I thought the Tilt came out to be cheaper, unless service charges add up to the same price eventually...
The only thing I don't like about both the Seidio and this one is that because the USB connector end is L shaped the stylus becomes harder to remove and insert while this is in use. The straight ones, on the other hand, have a tendency to dislodge and/or break eventually. I think I'm going to go with the Seidio one though, even though it costs around 3 times the price, mainly because of the spring loaded cable control mechanism.

The stylus clears the jack fine for me, the end is flexible and just bends out of the way.. as for retractable, I personally don't like those retractable cables that much especially for something like this.
I've got the retractable Boxwave mini-sync cables and those are fine for that use but I don't care for them when used like this, it's too easy for you to pull on it accidentally and it to spring back in

That makes absolute sense... now you've got me reconsidering what to purchase... any chance of finding one of these on Amazon? I need international shipping to be specific, as I live in Turkey.
While obviously due to the direct connection the volume on these is bound to be better than a bluetooth headset (which is what I currently use and also why I want a wired headset), does the in-line volume control degrade the volume or quality even at its highest setting? I ask because I used to own a headset that I used on my PC with an in-line volume dial and even at maximum volume, I could tell the difference between one with in-line volume control and a headset without one...
USBFever sent it to me for review, and they run all items with $2.99 shipping worldwide, so I assume that means $2.99 to Turkey as well
so it's $12.99 + $2.99 Shipping = $15.98
http://www.usbfever.com
direct link: http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=301
as for volume, I personally don't crank it to the max but I hadn't noticed any distortion, I used it for about 6 hours yesterday actually while working outside my house and did have it up loud to help drown up noise, but not to the max setting... as for the two separate volumes you need to adjust each one independently of the other, like I would set the inline to max and then adjust my phone itself to comfortable max volume, and then I can lower and raise the volume in line without problems
Out of curiosity, what else have you got that could be of use to Kaiser users out there?

What do I have? or what have I reviewed? I don't sell anything.. I review many types of products and since I got the Tilt/Kaiser I got a bit of stuff for that for review as well..
The stuff I got was from Boxwave, USBFever and Krusell so far for review, with more hopefully on the way
The ones I've posted so far can be found on my site HERE under 'Mobile Related Products' if you're interested. The top eight are the ones related to the Kaiser
I've got a few more yet to post as well, got the Krusell Orbit with Multidapt for car, another cool little mini-usb adapter, it's got three connections on it, and I've got one of the Tri-Force style styli from Krusell
Youve got some great reviews, mods and whatnot up there on your site, I'll have to spend a weekend going through it , and nice links as well. Congrats on a thoroughly well-done job there...

[PSA] The OEM Universal Dock Scratches the Back Cover

I just noticed this on my Note. It's not bad and you can't see it unless you look for it but I'd imagine it would get worse over time.
Here's the problem. The Note moves as you're using it in the dock and the stand is hard plastic so it leaves abrasions.
Here's the fix (from Lowe's)
I use the OEM dock and am not seeing any abrasion, yet, but thanks for the tip.

I use it also and don't see any but I think I will apply these just to be safe. Thx BH
What is the universal dock capable of other than acting as a stand? How much n where can you buy them from?
I have three of the docks and my Note spends a lot of time in them. That may be why I'm showing more wear than you guys.
I got mine at MacMall for $29.99 all in. Shipping is free and 2-day if you belong to ShopRunner. It's pretty much a stand but it has a 3.5MM out jack to plug speakers in to it. The old docks were made to fit each size tablet and provided better support. The new one also has the Note sitting pretty upright compared to the old one. Demandarin, BB has them in stock in Alexandria for $34.99 if you want to see it first.

got mine at best buy and also use an HDMI plug which i piggy back to the back of this. I pretty much do all of my charging on it and moovie watching as well as listen to my music. It was about $35 at BB. I think the HDMI was about $22 on amazon. I will look for a link.
I went and got a notebook 'skin'.. those lightly adhesive decoration sheets meant to put on the lid of laptops and netbooks and carefully cut it to match the Note and stuck it on there... mainly because I'd heard so much about the Note's back being 'soft'.
So the dock would only scratch the sticky.
My biggest complaint about the dock is that you can't charge AND sync at the same time. It would have been nice to have a USB connection on this too.
Since no ones mentioned hdmi output in any of these docks, im assuming because there is'nt one, but just incase, does anyone know or own a compatible note dock with hdmi output?
HDMI would have to run through the charging port via a dongle so a charging dock won't do it without an additional adapter. Any other type of dock you can just flip the tab over and use the dongle.

Ok my mistake...the HDMI was $27 at Amazon. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059UGT1K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
and i plug it into the back of the dock above post from Best buy and you can charge while using the HDMI. Infact this dongle will ONLY work if you are charging at the same time....
I've been using the universal dock as a stand for about an hour a day and haven't noticed any scratches, but thanks for posting this! I'll keep an eye on mine. I got the dock at Best Buy (at the time, they were about the only ones locally who had it in stock), because the regular stand I was using didn't accomodate the thin-ness of the Note very well and I was afraid of it landing on the floor one day.

It can be used without the dock since it uses the charging port, as it should.

I tried the full body shield type a few years ago on my HTC Hero. I wasn't a fan of using water to apply them, but they are definitely hard wearing.
Just ordered the cheap shields from Germany. Thanks deksawyer.

Ive seen the slimport connector on amazon for about £23. Its not directly from Amazon though. I may give it a go soon.
Item id?
I've seen docks in america but not here yet. Damn them
I've ordered the XtremeGuard protectors from America, not sure if they are still doing the 70% off code but got 3 (front and back) for about £6-8 delivered.
Not a good option if in a hurry though, they dispatched the next day but will take 2-3 weeks to get here.

For slimport I saw this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-Connect-monitor-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354206124&sr=8-1
I also bought from xtreme guard and concur with the previous post. BUT even though they say it may take up to 29 days, I received mine in 5 days. Not sure if thats always going to be the case though (especially with xmas approaching).
In ordered the best skin ever screen protector from the states. It's the full body version, so front, back and sides and cost £7.20 delivered. It hasn't come yet, so can't comment on the quality, but price is good.

I only ordered it yesterday so can't give any feedback yet, but I have ordered an XOskins front and back protector from the US.
Some details on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008140&page=6
With the sprintxo code it came to about 15 pounds. They do a front only one too.
Just found this case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360535014154?var=630071594227
TPU but no S-Line (I hate S-Line). Matte back. Have ordered one.
Just ordered white one. Seems to be nice. Will see when it arrives.

slimport
Hi, has anyone in the UK found a slimport cable that works? After playing with a nexus 10 and streaming stuff to the TV I'm keen to do it on my nexus 4 so went searching for a slimport cable or a mhl cable. I know not all cables are the same so sought out one that claims to be for the Nexus 4 and ordered this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380558482303 from this ebay seller http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/vhbw24?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
unfortunately it doesn't work. Zip, nada, nothing (other than charging the phone if the charger is connected) so while I seek my money back, can anyone confirm one that does work?
a search using slimport gives just this one on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-SlimP...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e7664bf40 bit costly, but i'll pay if I need to, and it works.
searching on mhl
finds the one I got and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iKross-MH...228948?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dd01a14
I'm nervous as I've just checked and fpound mhl is a differnet standard to slimport so....probably why neither work
Or there's this one on amazon at 24 quid
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
Any comfirmation that one of these works would be great. Even better would be a link to a cheaper one that works...but it seems to me slimport is ~25 quid not the #7 quid that MHL cables are
I just checked what I ordered... It works.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
That one.
cheers honey monster. Reading the slimport thread more fully it has to be that one really...mhl is totally differnt so the ebay items claiming to be 'mhl for nexus 4' are wrong.
right. I'll order one from amazon.
Cheers!
Right before any one says that I'm obviously a dirty hobo I just want to say I work in a newsagents and that this is mainly ink from the papers but check out my sexy white s-line tpu case lol
Any white alternatives that don't get stained so badly?
