I remember reading about these on gizmodo or engadget or something. They announced them then disappeared for a year or so, then released them. IIRC, the reviews were poor because they do not fit in a standard sized electrical box that most outlets have, but instead require one that is slightly bigger. Unless the contractor that wired your house had exceptional foresight, count on knocking a rather large hole in the wall to pull out the old box and install a larger one.

Yeah, this was an issue for me. I bought one only to find out it wouldn't fit in any of the electrical boxes in my room. Definitely something to consider.
Another issue to consider is if you have wall warts (the plugs that are big black boxes), those will block the USB ports.
I do remember the manufacturer following up on one of the reviews saying it was looking into making a small more compatible version. I don't know if anything came out of that. Anybody know?

Only your comment has nothing to with the Evo. A USB wall receptacle is pretty useful to anyone with USB devices, including the Evo.

Wall worts with usb built in would be useful as well. No installation needed.

Thats actually a pretty good idea. I'd hate wall warts a lot less if they did this.
The closest I have seen to this is a nightlight that has a USB port.

Isn't there a like a wireless mat charger?

A USB wall outlet would be very easy to make yourself if you had any basic soldering skills (and electrical knowledge, of course).

or you could just plug it in to your pc lol

Also wireless Mouse/KB
and the best part for me is I can Connect my USB speakers to it.
But in case of speakers Battery must be charged well, as speakers are high powered device.
But it runs as long as battery is not down to like 30-40 %.

I just picked up a couple. They were .69/each with free shipping.

Cruzerlite cases

Don't know if it has been posted yet, cruzerlite's amazon page is doing a buy two cases get one free. Using promo code BUY2GONE at check out, I got two galaxy s3 cases and a galaxy nexus case.

I have the black, white, and transparent Cruzer cases for my GNex. The black and transparent cases held up very well all these months, but the white one not so much. Alsmost immediately it began to "absorb" dirt and within a month or so it became really diry looking. There is no way to clean it unfortunately, at least I haven't been able to.

They always have this deal. I much prefer the feel of the material Diztronic uses. Also not a fan of the huge android on the back. I am more than aware of what operating system my phone runs.

Wireless charging option for the UK?

I've been looking for a good QI charger available in the UK and I can't find very much at the moment. Anyone know when the official Google orb will be released or what other options we can buy here in the meantime?
Thanks

Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times. Wait before you run to get one, might just be a 1 off but this is not working right.
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/accessory/dt-900/
Update 2: when the phone is off it charges fine, but when its on it keeps switching on and off, must be software related, any ideas?

By 'Off' do you mean actually powered totally off or in standby/screen off?

Completely OFF is the only way to charge wirelessly, otherwise it just keeps charing on and off. I went back to the store and tried on the matt on display and same thing happened, only the screen kept flickering very quickly and had to turn it off.
Confused.

It's either a software glitch or when the screen is on, the phone demands more power, and the Nokia charger cannot provide enough. Now, the latter is probably not the case.

Ohh then I can easily fix it, how do I change the setting so the screen doesnt turn on automatically when its charging?
I am new to android and cant find the setting under Display or Battery.. wonder if it can be turned off? otherwise I have a feeling Nokia chargers aint an option for Nexus 4 and I just wasted £45..
Thanks!

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen magically cracks..

The most "wonderful" thing happened today.
Here's the story:
I bought my Nexus 7 tablet a few months ago. I love this tablet, it's by far the best I've used. Today, I placed my tablet on my table after using it, and turned on some music on my laptop and danced around. It did not fall, didn't fly off, or run and fall down (what?). It was there the ENTIRE time. I then went back after a snack, turned off my music and decided to watch something on Netflix in bed. But one thing alarmed me. The bottom portion (equal to where the camera is on the top) had a gross crack, which extended in three sections to about the bottom half of the screen.
What. The. Heck. ??? Was what I promptly said as I stared at the crack. Now normally I'd shake it off and say "If I can use it, it's fine." HOWEVER, I can use the upper portion and some of the middle, I CANNOT use the bottom half. What does that mean? WELL guess what. It means I can't press the home, back, or other button. So I basically can't use it. Not a good idea after all, is it? I also can't type some letters. If it was in the toppish, I'd be fine with it. But this is ridiculous.
Funny, this happened before with a certain Dell laptop. Closed it. Placed on table after going upstairs. Lifted screen. Huge black gash on it.
Amusing on how cheap products are these days. For paying $199 I wasn't expecting pure gold, but this? Is it THAT sensitive? Please.. what kind of luck do I have.
Now to where I need help. What can I do now?? I sold my cracked laptop for $150, got a $50 from my Dad, and now it just CRACKS. And he woulldn't believe me after the other laptop. Now let me do say I take great care of my things. My phone has no cracks, or dents, or scratches and I've had it even longer. Is it possible to fix it? Please help. why me.. Is there some way I could move where the 3 buttons are? ugh.

You could buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. As long you can see the screen to click on things. You can pickup a OTG cable for couple dollars on amazon or eBay.
If you bought the tablet from Google store. Try contacting them about trying to get it fixed. If you bought it else where you would have to contact Asus about it.
