Hi, this is my first post! I have had a pda2k for a year now,and have been extremely happy with it, but now I am considering on purchasing a Tyntyn.
Is the a stand for the tyntyn that one can use to elevate the unit while reading/writing with the keyboard out?Or also use it whith a bluetooth virtual keyboard (for extended typing time..)
Cheers
anybody have an idea? the crade would do...but it doesn't help when you want to use the jasjam's keyboard
expansys is supposed to be coming out with a cradle/charger with a spare battery slot...eventually
hmmm... biit will it work in landscape mode with the keyboard open?
no, not in its current design...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/11399.htm
Is this what your after?
It's more like this
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/11237.htm
but for a desk, it's a support for the Tytyn with the keyboard out that raises and gives the phone a slight inclination(angle) so that you can type without looking downwards...
Guys thanks for bieng patient it turned out to be more diffucult to explain than I first thought... so once again thanx!
I think this is what you are looking for...

Hi, yes the Brodit table stand coupled with the Brodit passive holder 848691 allows the keyboard to be open and will sit happily as the most designer looking device holder availabble, it looks like a trophy! Plus you can then dock your usb cable to sync/chrage whilst its in the holder fixed to the tablestand. Hope that helps,
bryson
YES!!! there you go!! this is perfect! It really does the trick, thanks!!
I had been looking for a simple desktop cradle for a while and read reports on badly fitting ones and others that were good but expensive, and hrizontal ones that I didn't like, but I finally found a new one that suits my needs perfectly and is very inexppensive.
I found it a Techmate Australia http://www.techmate.com.au/ only $35.au, good quality, mini USB for power in (no adapter supplied), tethered USB cable for sync, fits nicely and is easy to drop in and out.

Dear esseff,
Could you provide me a link to a horizontal desktop cradle (as I understand you found it at Internet).
I really like horizontal cradle but I cannot find no one like this for Hermes (only for Wizard).

here's one on ebay
Cheep desktop "cradle"
I've been using a very inexpensive desktop cradle ever since I got my 8525.
It's a $.99 tripod from Microcenter. The little rubber feet hold the lower edge of the phone and the angle is good.
I've attached a few pictures.
I got this idea from http://www.aximsite.com when I had my Dell Axim x50v.
Thanks a lot for the report Esseff, I've just bought one - good to have a first hand opinion, especially from a fellow Aussie .

Here is an Australian link

... but I have seen the same one at other o/s sites
Can't wait till mine arrives - its the only thing that I've hated about this device, not having a proper cradle.
Please forgive my ignorance on the the model issue.
Will the Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100) work with this dock?
Thank you
Is there one available that will charge a spare battery as well?

I bought this same cradle from ebay for under 20USD and shipped from hong kong, and this thing WAS a piece of junk, it fit my phone well, but after a few uses the usb plug started falling into the cradle and it was no longer making a connection. I cracked the case only to find it being held in place by glue... I found that the ground connection wasnt very good, so i re-soldered the ground, put the plug back in place, and used massive amounts of hot glue to hold this thing in place. After doing that this thing now works like a charm. I would suggest to anyone that purchases this thing to immediately crack open the case and dump alot of hot glue inside to keep this from happening!
OOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWDDDDD
I just received my cradle from MobilePlanet.
IT IS FRACKIN AWESOME PEOPLE. Did you hear me. I SAID FRACKIN AWESOME! (Yes I watch Farscape what of it?)
$39.00 USD. Had to wait for a while 2 to 3 weeks...... BUT (there's always a big BUTT but this one is GOOHHHDDDDD!)
This CRADLE KICKS SERIOUS ARSE! ARSE! ARSE I TELL YA! it charges AND syncs the device AND.........
the second battery from the USB. It also has a power cord port.
But if you are a road warrior and I'm about to go back out on the road again...fly out Monday return fly in on Thursday - and you have an extra battery you'll need this cradle. It also fits the funky honkin 2400 batteries. (I assume that is what the extra cut out space is for though I sport a 1500 and an OEM so I can't say for sure.)
Fits my device like a glove. Looks sharp. Feels good. WELL MADE.
IT IS SWEET AS HAYLE! Run don't walk. Are you runnin yet! (It is worth the wait. Did I mention that?)
I wanna buy another just in case I loose this one. or to have one down stairs and one in the office. Maybe I'll buy 2 more to have one in the briefcase, one down stairs and one in the office.
Yes that's it. I'm going to the site to get mine before ya'll gobble them up.

Here you go. I already placed my order for 2 more. I think I'm gonna stick with the Hermes for a while...at least the next 6 to 8 months.

Amazing, I finally found out this was available a few days ago then I read this thread...well, as soon as someone picks up the cradle and battery for that horrible 750v I tried to use then I'll order this cradle. I don't really see the point in getting the ones that don't charge an extra battery though...isn't that the whole point?

But some only charge the device extra battery when you use the wall charger. If you use USB then it only charges the device.
The MobilePlanet one charges both the device and extra battery on USB as well as the wall charger. That is what makes it worth the cost alone...not to mention the thing is pretty well made.
Anyone in the UK managed to find a decent, reasonably priced cradle?
I've seen quite a few but these have a USB plug only, so if you want to charge the handset, you need the PC to be on.
What I'm after is a charger with a USB connection and a mains connection so you can charge the Hermes without the PC being on.
Hermes Cradle
Have you seen this one? It has an extra battery charger and both USB/mains connections.

Hmm that looks interesting. I wonder how stable it is.
There are some video reviews for it on youtube. It looks pretty stable...
That looks nicer than having tto take my phone out of the case to work with the infuse dock

Ya...I bought that dock and it's *crap*. Received it today at work and used it for about 1/3 of the day. My desk is completely flat and with the *slightest* tip (or even the headphone cord moving while plugged in) the entire thing rolls backwards. I had to push it up against one of my monitors to keep it upright. On top of it, the entire thing feels *really* cheap (like it could break at any moment) and the phone isn't even kept stationary on top of it. It relies on the cable connection to keep it upright...which is doesn't. The phone moves around without a problem.
Overall, not worth the money. I'll be sending it back tomorrow.

Yikes! I just ordered one of these.
I'm finding that charging the phone in a case is a real problem unless I use the stock usb cord. I have a zillion other cables that work but not with a case. Not psyched about ordering more stock cables. I bet the official dock doesn't work with a case.
Any other solutions with extended connectors for use in a case??
I just got mine and it is not exactly what I expected but it does get the job done. I do not have any stability issues with it, I can actually tilt it backwards about 25 degrees with my phone on it before it falls backward, I do think it would benefit from some extra mass but with the phone on it I have not problem with it. I have the Ballistic case on mine and my problem was that the cable that came with this dock would not reach far enough into my device to make a connection because my case basically adds some depth to the port. I had two choices, either modify my case or the dock. What I ended up having to do was modify the cable that came with the dock with a longer micro usb port at the end so that it would make contact while on the base. Although I agree that this dock could be better, it does accomplish what I needed it to, just needed some help. I have a dock for every one of my devices, but this is the first one that lets me leave my case on.

For charging micro USB cables you could try to locate one of the ones for the nook color. Worked fine on my old captivate and works great on my new sgs2 even with the case on.

would it be possible to use the mhl adapter cable and turn this into a tv dock? i dont know if you could replace the larger usb cable that is included and swap it with the mhl one and have power to it and hdmi conencted at all times.
has anyone tried this who bought this item?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a car dock for my Nexus 6 similar to the pro clip or this fix2car mount http://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/f...on-mount-dash-mount-with-usb-car-charger.html[1]
Basically my criteria are that I want to be able to take the phone in and out of the mount without having to attach the USB cable after. I want the USB cable to be fixed and the phone simply slides in to it.
The pro clip would cost me 150$+ and the fix2car one I linked would run me close to 70$. I'm looking for something about half that price.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks
0 replies on XDA and on reddit, something tells me i'm about to drop a hundred bucks on a car mount... AGAIN!
PSA to anyone thinking about it: DO NOT get the airdock 2, it's a piece of poop and the phone falls off constantly.
If you must have the fixed plug, you could hack one in place with some JB Weld. A lot of guys did just that back in the "old" days.
Or suguru, that stuff works great for something like this. BTW, my airdock works great.

If you would like to charge your phone in a car dock without having to attach USB each time why don't you get the QI charging dock? It is about $35-$40 here in US, probably about same in UK. And will work with non-bulky case.

welllllllll the reason why im trying to avoid a QI charging dock (which btw is not a make or model but the technology, can you specify which model you're referring to?) is because i bought this neato quick charge usb lighter thingy and i'd like to be able to use quick charge..... wireless QI charging is pretty slow and when having the screen on, and steaming music, and using maps for nav, it doesn't actually gain any charge!

Well, I am doing the same, streaming and navigating, with Nexus 6 in the dock, using 2.1A USB lighter thingy and it charges.

the problem is that QI will bottleneck your charging. using a quickcharge usb lighter thing will work via a cable but not through QI!
QI will support up to 15 watts of charging in the future, it was actually announced like a couple of weeks ago or something, so future models will support quick charging
I have quick charger at work and at home. In the car I need the dock I can use with minimum effort and without connecting/disconnecting USB frequently

Curious to know if you got the holder yet?
From the pictures on the site, it appears that one of the claws on the top lands directly on the power and/or volume buttons.
Would like to know if it interferes with proper operation?

it can if you have it completely tightened down, but you would not be able to pull the phone in and out if it was tightened down. the way i have it now is the clamp holds on to the lip of the phone but not so tightly that I can't easily put the phone in and out of the dock. The clamp does not press on the buttons, this way.
Hi,
Just wanted to let you guys know about this dock that I picked up from aliexpress.
The build quality is awesome, it is all metal. Feels really solid and it works in the same way the the actual DeX stations do.
I've attached a couple of images of the product and one of my review.
The current cost is USD $13.71 GBP £10.26 and that includes postage from China, mine turned up in a week and a half, really happy with it.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EAS...893.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6d9f4c4d3EQZa8
It works in the same way as the original DeX does, you cannot use your screen as a trackpad and must connect a wireless/usb mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried it with a USB hub yet but I imagine it would work as it is powered via your USB-C phone charger. Using my GS9 original charger it allows passthrough fast charging whilst using the dock. You can also use it for standard screen mirroring rather than DeX mode.
With the experimental labs mode enabled (in DeX settings, which appears when connected) to allow you to scale most windows up to full screen. The only one I have found which doesn't go fullscreen is netflix. Things like PUBG mobile (only opened app to see if it works, you would need an app to remap keyboard keys to play a match), Youtube, Terrarium TV etc all work fine. The option for sound output via phone/connected hdmi device works.
If you have any questions or need me to try something out on it for you, please let me know.
There are some more expensive versions with more USB ports and 3.5mm audio out - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EAS...-9e13-2ca171f3bfbb,scm-url:1007.13339.90158.0 - These are £29.91 (USD $39.98)
Nice. Do you need to remove the phone from the case or is the usb-c connector long enough? Just curious.

I did have to remove it from the case. I am using the Caseology Parallax which isn't overly thick (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Caseology-...-2&keywords=caseology+parallax+galaxy+s9&th=1 / https://www.caseologycases.com/products/galaxy-s9-parallax-case).
I don't see it as too much of an inconvenience, as when you are using the dock it is likely that you won't be leaving your desk/living/wherever for a while.
Thanks, I will keep it in mind. I bought one off Amazon that had a sale that I found on Slickdeals. It's the XF Times one and it was on sale for $8 so I took a gamble on it. It's working well at the moment but if it breaks, I will look at the one you posted. I already saved it to my Favorites.

Ah, that looks similar actually. I've never really looked on Amazon for them. I wasn't really looking to buy this one, I was just browsing Aliexpress and decided to actually order something on there rather than just browsing for ages and deciding against it. I picked up a couple of cases and watch straps too, it's too easy to buy things when they are so cheap!
My cheap DeX dock works fine
Only problem is, it doesn't charge the phone. The dock requires USB power also. Without power, it just mirrors the phone screen. So I just charge the phone in the morning and it would go all day on DeX if I wanted. However, I usually get up and go to meetings and such, so I end up taking the S9 with me. When I get back, I will typically top off the charge again before plugging back into DeX. I have a DeX setup at work with monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and I also have one at home. I just take the little dock with me and keep it in my backpack. They are so cheap, I really should just buy another one to keep one at both places.
If I don't plug in a mouse, I can use the phone as a touchpad. If I do plug in a mouse, the touchpad functionality doesn't work. Which is fine; just an observation.

Hi,
I hadn't even tried it without the wireless keyboard attached as I foolishly assumed it wouldn't work with this dock. I've just tried it and thanks for the tip it works great as a touchpad!
I just carry a spare USB-C lead with me when I need it, it even manages to fast charge.
One thing I will note is that the connection has become a bit hit and miss on this, I don't know whether that is build quality or because the dock USB-C connector has taken a knock when I have been carrying it around. I still think that I can't really complain for what it cost me.
Yeah, I figured the touchpad function wouldn't work because it is not a Samsung dock. But it still does if you don't use any other input devices.
Just to clarify this dock puts the S9 into the actual DEX mode, not some sort of "similar" app?

Hi Cookie,
Yeah, this gives actual DeX mode :good:. There are loads of similar products about on Amazon/Ebay but I went for this as it was a cheap addition to an Aliexpress haul.

I got Goodock one, overall it worked pretty good but it does randomly disconnect from time to time (very quickly, it doesn't even leave DeX mode). I am using a HDMI to VGA adapter in my setup, I doubt it is the reason for disconnects but you never know.

Honestly maybe once a week. Hard to break the habit of just firing up a laptop.
Can this work with a non Samsung Android?
Is there/ shouldnt there be a generic/ stock Android alternative for the same?
This is nice but better connect a computer from other room to tv and bring cable through the wall for wireless mouse too there if it's for home.
I recommend this.
