The charging cables are going pretty quickly. I didn't realize that I was the only one who had the ocd about that short cable (i know I've mentioned it a few times just can't believe acer did that)

Not to dredge up an old thread, but did anyone pick up their protective case? This thing is going to be traveling all over with me fore Paramedic School and I'm a little worried, so I want to get a better case than the JustAir case I've been using.

Hi,
I was charging my Xoom yesterday and my dog ran around and tripped on the cable. The charger bent and wouldn't work anymore. I bought a new charger thinking that was the problem, but it won't charge either. I assume that the port itself broke somehow.
It's the WiFi model, i bought from Best Buy without any protection plan. Does anyone know offhand what the cost of repair would be via Motorola and turnaround time?
Or better yet, some other way to charge it? (i wish the mini USB would work)
Thanks
Put the dog up for adoption.
Go to motos website and jump on a chat to see what they say.
Don't put the dog up for adoption.

I posted it on the Moto forums, thanks. Also, I heard the dock charges it without using the normal port, is that true? Would that work?
I too was going to suggest the dock. I am fairly certain it charges through the USB.

Thanks, i'll do this, but can anyone 100% confirm that would work in my situation? It would be greatly appreciated.
Dock will charge it. It charges through the exposed metal sockets you see on the bottom, not through USB. But it will work I have one.
Cheers.
You should go to ifixit.com and look for a teardown. Try and find the part on EBay or see if you can order through Moto. That sucks.

The dock is/was on sale at BestBuy. That's your immediate best bet.
But that's a big inconvenience. I have the dock and I think I only used it once. You'd have to have a boner to be able to rest that dock on you when you're using it in bed.

Just a + 1 for confirmation.
I find the crappy little charge port & jack to be one of the VERY few cons about the Xoom. The 2 gold plated connectors at least offer hope that I could fabricate another charger (apple laptop style) if ever necessary.
Just picked up the OEM Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Docking Station with 3.5mm audio out and USB charging slot for $4.95 at HHGreg. The salesman indicated they are being discontinued. Seemed like a killer deal so wanted to pass it on.

Thank you for this thread. Got 4 regular docks at $5, a leather pouch for $10 and a keyboard dock for $20. Had to hit two stores for that. Web orders weren't working when I tried this morning.

It's pretty nice. I love the keys. You can do everything on the tab via keys without touching the screen. I have it connected to a usb port on my monitor and it charges the tab pretty fast. HH was selling it for $80 before the clearance.

Yes it has, but no cable inside (at least mine).
got mine and will be picking it up today. To bad keyboard is gone, I'd like to have had one just to try.
I'm gonna go pick up my dock today, but also noticed the keyboard is on clearance, so I may pick that up as well, even though I have the Logitech keyboard. I'd probably get the microSD adapter too, but I don't think I'd ever use it.
Just walked into my local HH Gregg to pick up the desktop dock I ordered online for $4.95... They had the desktop dock marked down to $0.95 and the keyboard dock for $9.95.
Score!
I checked the website for it. Their search algorithm is pretty abysmal, for what it's worth.

Mine sits uncharged. It would disconnect without notice (a vibrate upon disconnect would be nice) and would die faster than my phone. Oh well. Nice idea, but kind of worthless. Can't wait until the motoactvs are cheap

oh man that looks cool. the "special" cable is a huge turn off I hope they can switch to a standard micro usb for charging but my pre order for an orange one is in.
VERY neat.
AVOID the live view. I bought 3 ($8 a pop) and regretted it. they collect dust now. WONDERFUL concept but they simply WILL NOT stay connected. period. I have NEVER been able to get one to stay connected for more than a couple hours. most times less than that. amazing concept horrible execution and the damned thing can't even be CHARGED while in the watch cradle so you have to pry it out daily (how long would that last)
I was going to rivet the backing place to the watch band so I could remove the bottom band pin (allowing it to charge while in the cradle) but its so horrible in operation I never bothered.
I bought two still didn't get mine....anyone receive there's I want to play already

I just cant see myself using a flip case. It seems like it'll get in the way, but I like the idea of having your wallet combined with it,
Mine should be here soon. If you order do it on Amazon, they have a discount code in the description which will give you ten dollars off the price. I didn't see it till after I ordered it so check that out.

Got one
I have had one for a couple of weeks now. I really like it. My cards are easy to pull out of the slots. The leather has broken in at the spine and it folds over great. It doesn't honestly get in the way of using the phone personally. My only complaint is it gets a little thick with some cards in it. I have 3 cards in it and I can hardly fit it in my pockets. Granted my pants pockets are on the slim fitting side. I usually just carry it around or put it in my jacket pocket. So far I am impressed with it, except it takes a little work to get it out of the case. I am always afraid I am going to scratch or chip that chrome ring around the front of the phone when I pull it out of the case.
Would you guys minds putting up some be pictures, thanks!

Hi, I am looking to get hold of some qi chargers in the UK and as Google still see fit not to provide us with any orbs I was wondering from the range of qi chargers available - which is the one to get in the UK?
a little ebay search returns :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n...+wireless+charger+nexus+4&_osacat=0&_from=R40
but there are some mentioned here that you cant get on ebay. I.e. the ones that were given out for free at CES 2013 that someone posted a while back. Anyone have any definate reccomendations for purchasing or should I hold out hope for Google who just never say when they will or will not allow me to buy something from them .

Wondered the same myself since wireless charging unit disappeared from the UK play store

Cool, I just bought one off that guy in Harrow - shame it comes in only white, why White?!
Anyhow - it arrives wednesday next week - will let you know my thoughts on it. I was thinking of doing a mod with it for the car so when Play do actually stock the official one, I can pick one of them up for the room.
I bought the Zens one from Amazon Germany... Although it was shipped to me from Dunfermline (only 30 miles up the road so quite rapid shipping )

What was the advantage of buying from Amazon DE? At the moment its more expensive pre shipping . what did you pay?

and how come on Amazon.de you can get

but you cant get that from Amazon UK
I do sort of refuse to part with £50 for a charger though. It seems crazy! I struggled to part with £30 for the other one above off ebay.

Key advantage when I ordered was that they had it on sale... A-UK didn't even have one listed (any... Not just the Zens)
I've got a Maxell Air Voltage one. It only comes with a mains cable, but works well. I stick it on there over night and then in the morning just pick it up and go. It's about £40 so a bit more expensive than the eBay ones, but it works for me.
I have just ordered this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221166419716?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 It seems to be a good price. I will let you know how I get on when it arrives.
If it was me and I was going to spend £40 on a wireless charger and couldn't get the Google Orb one, I'd get the Nokia one. Think it looks coolest.

I'm gonna order one but the black is out of stock.
Might just get the white one.
so I went for the £28 one from Ebay. £30 delivered. Its from a guy in the UK who must be importing them from China in bulk.
Its pretty good so far. It uses a 2A 5V USB charger cable. I tried it on my 700mA samsung charger cable and this wasnt really enough to get the connection stable.
It is extreemly slidey - the surface it lays on must be flat as a pancake.
It has a little green led to say it is on and a blue one to say it is charging that flashes.
I doubt I would want this as a bed-side charger.
The car doesnt also offer enough juice to charge using this. Perhaps 1A isnt enough?
Im pretty chuffed for £30. I couldnt ask for more. Ill buy the official one when it comes out as I do want a bed-side charger.
I have noticed it gets very warm. I guess this was to be expected. It is a bit of a novelty, I suppose I would prefer it if this had some kind of small cradle to hold the phone within, and it would be nicer if it was black too.
I might try to mod it slightly, paint it black and put some small mounting pegs on it perhaps?
Who knows...
