For those who are looking for the Motorola Rapid Charger locally, I ran into a guy at Best Buy who was the regional manager for the mobile department. He too has a Note. I explained the issues I'm having and what we all came up with as a resolution. Funny his he already had that Motorola Rapid charger.
Anyways, he pointed out the car dock kit
For the Droid X and X2. It comes with the very same charger we all are looking for. Here's the bonus: it was originally 49.99 but on clearance for 24.99. Not as good as ebay for 7.59 but I figured I had a 50 gift card after I took all those other chargers and cables back. So I bought the kit!
Here's the REAL bonus: not only does it have all the stuff for a car dock (although its for a Droid), but when.I got to the register, it rang up for 9.99!
I bought all 3 they had in stock.... ;-)
Check your local BB for availability if you don't want to wait for it to ship from ebay or amazon.
Sadly though, I'm still not charging while in use... :-(

What issue were you having with the note? And do you mind posting a picture or link to the rapid charger you bought? I tried searching for it on Google but came up with a few different style chargers and am unsure which one your talking about. Thanks!
Can you provide a link, SKU, UPC, something we can search or reference?
Sounds like quite a deal
Thanks.
Here's a link to it on amazon. I couldnt find it on best buy. Im sure you'll need to locate it in the store.

I purchased the Kensington dual port charger for iPad/iPhone from CompUsa. It has 2.1 amp and 1.0 amp ports. I used it in my 2008 Honda Civic Si and my car electrical started acting possessed. My power doors were locking/unlocking; alarm system wouldn't always work; drained battery needing me to jump start. Had left charger in lighter port w/o anything attached. Don't know if it was defective but car has returned to normal after I got rid of it might try another

Imo just modify a USB cable as another post outlined.. Short the middle two data pins or splice the cable and short them then use a regular car charger with a USB port and the modified cable. Works for me

So you are just using the cable for charging? The dock does not fit right?

I just got my HTC MHL adapter for my 3d, and my phone doesn't even recognize it. Has anyone else had this issue?
did you make sure you connected your charger to a power outlet? I made the same mistake when I got the one from T-Mobile!
Yes, I did attach the charger to it. The phone is charging, but doesn't output anything and the hdmi logo doesn't show up in the notification bar. I don't have to change any settings do I?
I didn't have to, I connected the charger that came with the phone, connected the HDMI to the tv, and then connected the adapter to the phone, changed the input settings on my tv, and my home screen showed up on the tv..... Maybe you got a defective one, but I can't say for sure. I know some people were having issues with not using the charger that came with the phone...
Thanks for your help. I will try it again.
My Tmobile MHL didn't recognize either at first, even with the power plugged in. I left everything plugged in, then just did a reboot. Worked fine after that.
Reboot worked like a charm, thanks!

How much did you pay for the HTC branded one an where did you buy it? I've heard the HTC one is around $40. I think that's crazy as I paid $27 shipped for the T-Mo brand one and it works amazingly perfect! It's the exact same quality as watching a DVD!

Kaomie,
Would you mind measuring the square part of the mhl cable? measure LxWxH please.. I'm trying to see if the size is feasible for me to mode and integration into a dock..thanks..
I also have an htc mhl adapter bought it off amazon for $30 works amazing.
EDIT: Don't know if this allowed here, but if anybody lives in So Cal in here I have an extra mhl adapter for sale not Htc. Its the Tmobile model.

Thanks..now I just need to find one at a good price...
Got mine today. Looks nice, comes with AC and USB cable. The View fits nicely into the cradle and dock mode kicks on automatically as advertised. My only ding for this unit is you can't sync and charge at the same time. Well, it charges off USB, but not the same as with AC power direct into the unit; it's much slower to pick up a full charge regardless of whether the USB cable is plugged directly into a computer or powered hub.
Overall a nice accessory that gets the View off it's back and frees up a little space on the desk or end table. 4 thumbsups
Edit: HTC needs to have the sh!t slapped out of them for using that stupid proprietary plug and socket design on this device. They munged up an otherwise totally awesome tab!

The That Amost Dock Rocks!
I have the dock, I just hate having to take the unit out of its case all the time and then put it back in when I take it out of the dock. The proprietary connector does suck and sucks even more because you cannot get the cables from anywhere. They should have put two connectors on the dock, one for syncing and one for charging like they did for the dock that came with the 6700.
I got mine from Sprint for $49.95 retail (but I had a 30% off card from Sprint) and it is OEM,but its black.

Hi guys. This is what i use as an FM transmitter for my Galaxy and Vortex in my car. If you see on the picture there is an iphone charger included on the phoneholder. I was wondering if there is something that has micro usb charger instead of the iphone charger.
Any help would be appreciated.
I just found a bunch by just searching for "fm transmitter micro usb" on Amazon.

thank you for your reply. Did you find one that has micro usb charger built in on the phone holder. Most of them that I found have either iphone charger cable or none at all.But what I am looking for is a car holder with fm transmitter that replaces the iphone charger and uses micro usb.
Oh and i have an ipod touch that plays music stored on the ipod via fm as soons as i charge it using the iphone charger cable.
I hope u understood my english as english is not my first language.

Why's it gotta be with a BUILT-IN microUSB? Why can't you use the cable that came with your phone? I'd go with the link I posted in a heartbeat. Sure, you'd need to sacrifice a microUSB cable, but the 2.5mm is built-in. It's also $10.50 free 2day ship. I'm checking out my cart as we speak.

I have one already with the built in iPhone charger..And I paid like 8 bucks a year ago.the reason why I want with built in microusb is my iPod charges and at the same time transmits my music through FM channel. I also don't have to carry aux jack to listen to my music since its plays my music via FM station. I don't have to carry my iPod charger to charge.
I was wondering if I could do the same with my Galaxy and Vortex.
You have to remember iPhones are not the same style phones as ours. Yes they have a headphone jack but there charger is meant to transfer data to play music while ours is just PC to phone and charge I doubt its designed to out put any type of audio through the charging port. The one I linked is all built in but the price is a tad high. You'll have to choose what will work best but like I said an iPhone style dock is going to be impossible I think

Best FM Transmitter ever
I just found this on WOWparts.com for only $10.68. It is way better than I have expected for the price. The transmitter is compatible with USB, 3.5 mm and even the SD card. Easy to handle. I drive a lot and this transmitter has made the driving less boring with music. Highly recommend for everyone.
I had no idea so many people still used FM transmitters.

Hrmm... For some reason I was thinking the iBolt mount would have a built in wireless charging pad too. Bummer. Would be awesome of one of these would come out with a wireless charger built into them.
I can't find this thing anywhere. The one on Verizon says it only works with the Incredible LTE.

Ordered one from Amazon, shipped quickly. The mount is well made, and the extra long usb charging cord is nice if you need that. However, plugging in the mini usb end to the phone is a pain in the butt once the phone is in the mount. I would say that is just the design of the phone and not an issue with the mount.
The pictures and description of the mount made me think the mini usb charging tip was a firm metal arm that would make plugging in easier, it is just reinforced in the plastic so it keeps a bend to it (like Gumby).
Getting the phone in and out of the mount is fairly easy with one hand, the spring loaded clamp seems a little aggressive to me....the phone is definitely not going to fall out
I got my mount in over the weekend. Love the mount - I'm using it with a proclipusa mount and iBolts ball adapter. I prefer this mount over the proclipusa mount I had for my Thunderbolt. I haven't tried using the charging chord yet so I can't speak to that - as said above it was different than what I was expecting from the pictures.

Radioshack sells a couple Dual USB DC Chargers, but the amperage is quite low on one of them. Definitely get the one with the higher amperage as it is the same price (at least at mine).

Buy Samsung Original cable
If your charging adapter works then you can use any cable to charge your phone, i always do and it charges normally but should be a 5V adapter.
BUT for syncing you need the original Samsung USB cable because other cables will not work for this purpose. This is the only way frnd

The stock cable is really poor. Most people report slow charging performance due to USB Charger stability detection.
