My Note's spare battery charger/stand functions quite effectively as a stand, both landscape and portrait. My S2's likewise.

Excuse me for my naive question:
In addition to serving as a stand, can you use it as a way to recharge Galaxy Tab family tablets? (In our house we have the original 7, 7.7 and 8.9 models)
No. The S2 and Note spare battery chargers can only charge their respective batteries. They can't charge any device. The phones don't plug into the charger, but rest in that slot. The battery is inside the little compartment.

I bought a desk dock from SmartphonePedia.com
http://smartphonepedia.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-desktop-docking-station-with-battery-charging-slot.html
It's OK but not impressive. It does appear to charge the phone and spare battery together (whether simultaneously I do not know -- I do not have a spare battery yet). Documentation is amusing but not helpful. The fit is snug but pretty easy NOT to get the phone in a charging position (there's a bit of a wiggle/push you need to do).
Samsung has a powered dock here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1D3BEGSTA
which serves a different need -- speakers, etc. No comment.
But they also have this:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CGPK005GSTA
The nice thing is that for the $50 price you ALSO get a spare battery, which makes it somewhat attractive. What is not so clear is whether it actually charges the phone. The description says:
The SAMSUNG Galaxy SII i777 battery charging station is the perfect way to charge your battery and explore the capabilities of your phone. While your spare battery charges (standard 1650 mA battery included) your phone can sit snugly in the stand at an optimal viewing angle for watching a movie or reading the news. (SAMSUNG wall charger also included).

I have not found any pictures that show whether there is a USB plug in the channel that holds the phone, all the images are from the back. Local stores have nothing.
Does anyone have this latter, and know if it does indeed charge the phone and spare battery at the same time? I need another dock for my office, and this would be a good way to get a spare battery at the same time -- but I do not want to pay $50 for a setup where I can ONLY charge the battery if I remove it.
It only charges the spare battery. It's a "stand" not a mount or a dock. I had the equivalent product for the Captivate.
Have to say that it's great to never ever have to have your phone plugged in, can just do a quick swap of the batteries. But the battery is improved enough on the SGSII that I don't feel I need a spare.

Thank you. Need to keep looking then.
By the way, the unit at the top (the no-name dock from Smartphonepedia) works very nicely except it doesn't show up as a dock, i.e. it doesn't have the resistor to make it know it is docked. I found a clock I like that senses power connected and that's really good enough for me. Also, if you want to use it by a bedside, you will need black electrical tape to cover over the blue LED that is VERY bright and always on. But it is sturdy, the phone fits snugly, after about 2 times it is easy to insert with one motion. Not a bad arrangement. A 10 cent resistor would have made it much better!
I wish that samsung dock with extra battery was half the price. 50 is too much.
i just got the Samsung one from Newegg... the fit and look is great, but the footprint is a triangle, which can get a little unstable when trying to do things with the phone while docked.
How was the deck?
Which is better Samsung deck or one you bought?
Wanting one for the office, I also bought the EVO desk dock.
It does not appear to trigger docking behavior either, though I have started using the Kaloer clock, and this substitutes nicely, maybe even better.
The EVO dock "feels" better - a little heavier, more solid, prettier. It came labeled for the international version, but it works fine for charging. It has a separate power connection for the spare batter (and two cables supplied), but this is something of a pain -- two cables running across your desk. The dock on my first post at the top does both battery and phone with one cable. Since I don't have a spare battery yet, not a big deal, but it is disappointing of the EVO.
The EVO also has a MUCH more muted LED status light, this one I think would be fine by the bed at night.
I own an iSound Portable Power Max charger http://www.amazon.com/i-Sound-Portable-Power-iPhone-BlackBerry/dp/B00439G3WS and just realized that it does NOT work with the Prime. Anyone know of any similar products that do work?
Edit: I found something that will charge the Prime, however, it's neither inexpensive nor small.
http://www.sejats.com/12000-mAh-Solar-Battery-Charger-for-ASUS-Transformer-Tablet-ZERO-1-ASTRFORM.htm
Well that sucks! I just bought a Motorola P893 to have back up for my Razr and was hoping to be able to use it for my Prime as well (when I get it)... Does your charger not come with the appropriate connectors? Mine probably won't work either, and its only like 8,000 mAh anyways, probably not enough for a tablet???
Anything that can plug into a USB port works with it. I've tried it with 4 different phones and an iPad 2. They all work except for the Prime.
I have a few newtrent devices but they won't do anything but a trickle charge when the prime is shutoff, if on it draws more than the newtrent imps can provide (5V).
I don't know of any off the top of my head, but the input the prime is looking for is 15V 1.2Amps, find a battery pack that can provide that and my guess is that it should charge the prime.
Prime needs a USB3 charger, it seems. Who knows if they exist...

Here's a review of one that should work:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...c-of-portable-chargers-with-a-price-to-match/
Realistically, anything that was designed to charge a cell phone or iPod-sized device won't work well for the TF Prime as it will take too long to recharge your tablet to be really useful.
Also, the Prime's battery is significantly larger than most mobile backup batteries so you won't be able to get a full charge. At best you will be able to recharge your battery to around 25%, but in most cases you will probably get a lot less.

I'm under the impression that the TF Prime looks for a higher voltage -- 15V to start charging, not just a higher current at 5V.

The solar charger I posted has a button for 5V, 9V, 12V, or 16V settings. It will charge the Prime at 12V and 16V.

Many of these chargers work on the similarly-sized iPad, though.

That depends greatly on your definition of "work."
You can charge the iPad via an iPhone adapter or an external battery designed for use with a phone however the iPad will charge much more slowly. Also, since the size of the iPad's battery exceeds the size of most external batteries they usually won't fully charge an iPad.
By the same token, you can charge the TF Prime via an iPhone adapter or similarly powered external battery. But it will be very slow, almost to the point of uselessness (~2-3% an hour, if you are lucky)
In both cases for most non-standard chargers you will need to have the device turned off for it to charge at all.
That's interesting a solar charger, how long does it take to reach capacity though?
You need 15v to charge normal speed.

This is true, but frankly it looks way too shady for me to be attaching to my TFPrime. I prefer to wait for more commercial products, versus quick Chinese ones.

Good point.
For $125 you would probably be better off spending $25 more and getting the keyboard dock. It contains a ~6 hour extended battery plus a full keyboard, USB port & SD card slot. It also exactly matches the TF Prime, acts as a screen protector and tablet stand and doesn't add a lot of bulk so it will fit inside most cases/sleeves that can also hold the tablet alone.

The dock works great and I kill the battery in my dock by the end of the day but my tablet battery is still above 80% when i get home if I play games or surf all evening on it it is still not below 25% by the time I am ready to charge it while I sleep. If you kill both batteries in one day then you probably haven't done much of anything else but stare at your tablet.
I second the dock, sometimes I go a few days without charging because the dock so generously gives up it's own life first
I third the dock! Very useful but it can get a little heavy. I was hoping to get an external battery for under $50. Does mAH matter, I seem some big ones with 6600 maH wondering if that would work.
I'm looking for a good battery cradle for my second (OEM) battery. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Seat-wa...ccessories&hash=item3f0e0cd458#ht_2318wt_1396
I had a near identical one for my Captivate. It charged batteries well, but the USB output really messed with the screen sensitivity. Made it freak out and do things when I didn't even touch the screen. Anyone have a good cradle?
Also are i9100 cradles compatible with our i777 NFC batteries?

The batteries themselves are physically interchangeable, and since the cradle cannot bootloop I'd say yes. I have an extended non-oem battery, which I'm about to buy a i9100 cradle for, and you guys will be the first to know if any problems arise.
There is also the 'official' cradle from Samsung for the i777:

Hello. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with external battery chargers for the EVO 3D batteries? I am using the EVO battery in my Sensation so I figured I would ask here. Just so im clear I am looking for something like this... http://www.amazon.com/External-Batt...BVFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331668412&sr=8-1 not an external battery I can plug into my phones charge port. If anyone here has any suggestions or input I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
I have one I got with my Anker battery (looks the same but with white plastic instead of black) and it works great. It's adjustable so you can charge different batteries.

The pins slide sideways to match the battery contacts, and the bottom is spring loaded to hold the battery against the pins. It's acually pretty cool.

That is the charger. These batteries have about 10% to 15% more juice than the OEM Evo 3D battery. Been using them in our 2 Evo 3D's since August with no issues. You should get them pretty quick, they are in Santa Clara.

Do not buy that. I have one. It's utter crap. You have to keep an eye on the battery to ensure it's still charging, and if not.. move the battery around until the charging light stays on. Several others have said the same. (This is tested with multiple batteries.)

its 35 usd from were I am sitting ..
and it aint about the looks.. that white external charger can double has a battery case and charger.. that is cool to me, could be for somebody else.
and the most important .. those almost universal battery chargers ain't worth a crap , and work like for 2 months and then give their soul to their chinese maker .. I had a few..
And I swear I don't trust those circuits to charge my batt .. that white external charger uses the stock charger or any external powerbank for charge on the go.
I Just think it's worth it , for it gives much more options
Love this one(RavPower 14000mAh)
I have an iPhone 4, sumsung S3 and iPad 2 which is clear that I need a battery charger that saves me. Looking around the market there're massive brands. At the first sight I have looked around Mophie, Mipow, but they seem to be at the luxury price line. Once my best buv Jack showed me his RavPower 14000mAh that he gets from Amazon, it was a cool one that you can charge 2 devices at the same time. Amazed by the price(around 40 bucks), I give it a try. Now I carry it with me everyday, you guys should really try it out.
