It's on T-Mo's site for $25. Of course you'd have to take the USB cover off.

the usb connector would be fine, question is whether it would physically fit in.Not really sure because the dock seems to fit around the bottom curve of the magic, but the bottom of the G1 is flat. I'd say probably not.
If you're looking for a dock, there's a number of them on ebay specifically for the G1. I got one with a slot for an extra battery and it works just fine.

i got mine off amazon when i was on super sale, the one i have has a slot for an extra battery and it works great, only downfall is it has a bright ass charging led that i covered up with a small peice of electrical tape, works really well, but a g1 with a extended battery will not fit in it (atleast not the battery door that i had), and it cant charge the extended battery either (as in i cant take it out and put it in the slot)
To be clear, you have to pull off the USB door, correct?
Its better not to use a dock. It puts unnecessary stress on the plug and doesn't offer any benefits. You would be better off just plugging the wire into it.

i agree. docks are just eye candy. and plus its a lot easier to use the phone without being it plugged up to a dock

Hi All,
I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery, as I have one of the first released and the battery has come to the end of its useful life.
I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.
When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.
I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to a metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.
Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?
Are they necessary?
Will my reception suffer, if I use a non genuine battery such as one of the extended batteries?
If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?
If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?
Thank you in advance.
David
I guess this is for grounding purposes.
i am currently using a after market replacement battery, there is no such 2 metal 'contacts' on the battery. The replacement battery works very well with my phone. It is even works better than genuined one

I'm sure you guys have experienced it to some extent. Whenever you use a micro that isn't the stock MHL that comes with your phone. Regular micro's tend to come loose here & there causing it to lose connection/stop charging.
At least for me, it does this every single time I'm charging my phone in my car.
So, to stop it from moving, I wrapped the end near the connection with a strip of that wall mounting foam & then went around it with some electrical tape. I had to do a minor adjustmentbut now it doesn't wiggle at all.
I'm definitely experiencing this problem. Sometimes I have to hold the phone in a manner where I have my finger "propping" the cable in to keep it charging.
Might look into this fix...
I wish HTC or any of the phone makers would come out with something that worked. It gets old trying to make this work......
Get a charger with a USB port and a separate cable, then when this happens just replace the USB cable. Not ideal, but the cable is cheap enough. And that's how the connector is designed, for the cable to fail and not he connector on the phone. It's much cheaper to replace the cable than it is to replace the phone.
I picked up a couple of these and they fit great, they snap in nice and firm.

My stupid mhl connector got stepped on and bent and the tip broke off
The cable from my old droid seems to fit snug but not nearly as secure as the original cable

Whoa!! 6 feet of cable, awesome for couch surfing. Maybe a little crazy for the car. I'm not above hacking one of those 3 dollar suckers down to a more manageable length for the ride.
Just recieved this one, ordered through ebay, and it's of very nice quality. It fits my note perfectly, too perfectly actually, as it wont fit with a case on it. But I like TPU cases that are fairly easy to remove, so I'll just remove the case when I want to mount it in the car

that one looks quite nice, but doesn't seems safe, only 3 point hold
i'm just using a generic one for all cell phones from DX
it works way better
since i keep switching phones faster than i switch accessories, might as well use a universal phone mount for the car

False, fits like a glove and very secure. No way Note will fall out without actually depressing the release tab as it's not a spring load, but formed to fit the note.

Fair enough, but I prefer a custom fit to a generic. I find that a custom fit is far more secure than some foam and springs, and it looks better/cleaner too
I asked the folks at Mugen if they have one that will fit their extended 5400 mAh battery. I want to be able to recharge my spare battery while I'm out with my phone. They don't have one, but the rep pointed me to this one:

Does anyone have this charger? Is there a distributor or vendor in North America I could buy from? It is $13 from TVC Mall, but adding on shipping and PayPal fees brings it to about $26. :silly:
Hrm, I wonder if the extended battery will fit in the rear charging bay of this Hyperion cradle. As long as their isn't a lip or other protrusion that might get in the way of a thicker battery, this might work:

The Hyperion cradle will charge the extended batteries. Have one sitting at home that I use all the time.

Thanks for also letting me know that this cradle will work! I use it currently at my desk and I like it a lot. Now I'm going to like it even more
ADDITION:
While I was charging my phone today at the desk, I just wanted to charge my other battery. So as I was charging the spare battery I noticed that the right side plug-in charges BOTH the main phone and spare battery.
Well today I finished the first prototype of the dock I've been working on. Let me know what you think. I have to make a few more changes when I get time.
I forgot to include that it has an NFC tag to switch it to dock mode.

It looks a bit bulky. It seems more like a stand rather than a dock. Still better than a horizontal plate, though.
If you can get it to stay up without the back and side panels (just the base and slanted part) and also slim the panels down by half that thickness or thinner if possible it would look kooler. Also try painting it

I made one out of vinyl about a month ago but wasn't that big of a fan. I am going for more of an executive look this time around.
I think it looks very nice. All the parts look like the fit together very well.
Do you have the Nokia DT-900 inside it? I've been contemplating trying to build something w/ my DT-900 inside - don't know if I want horizontal or vertical.
Yup, I may disassemble one in the future to save some space.
