Just got this bad boy delivered today and so far, it works great and it has slot to charge a second battery but unfortunately not an extended battery. It does have a insert in the main cradle however that can be removed so you can charge the phone with certain cases and possibly an extended battery (Have not tested yet).
Pros:
Can charge the phone and another Battery at the same time.
Has a good weight and is very stable.
Cheap!
Cons:
The USB wall charger it comes with does not give you a full AC charge but a USB charge. I changed out the wall charger and I was back to AC.
Can't charge the extended battery on it's own. (you might be able to do some cutting in order to make it fit however.)
EDIT**** I know I said that this will charge an extended battery but I'm not sure that's fact yet. I believe it will only fit certain cases and not sure if there is enough room for the extended battery. If after testing it does fit, I'll make the corrections here. Sorry if I got any false hopes up.
looks cool, may pick one up.
says in the description that it doesnt fit the extended battery

I believe the blue light is power and the green light is for the second battery. If you put a battery in there that needs juice, it'll turn red and back to green when charged.

Maybe I have a different one, or my USB on the charger is at a bad angle but there's no way the phone will charge with the extended battery with or without a case. Bummer! Still awesome though.

Here's some pics of the red and green light as well as the angle of the USB.

.... Nobody said that. It will fit certain cases. You just have to take out the insert that you see in the picture.

Do you have problems inserting it into the dock. Seems like inserting it into the microUSB connector would be a pain.

At first I did but once you get the feel for the angle, it goes in like butter......... Well maybe chunky peanut butter. It's not bad at all.

Just ordered mine! Can't wait to play with this puppy
This is a better option than the Verizon dock that I got with mine. In order to use it I have to take the phone out of the case every time...and no slot for an extra battery. Now I just need to sell my dock...
Thanks for this link. I've been looking for a dock that will fit with the case installed.
Well first off I have to say that shipping with this seller is top notch. Wasn't expecting it this early.
Within the first 2 seconds of having this dock I broke the thing that keeps the battery snug in the back. I used my training from my days with the A-team to make the battery stick. The phone with extended battery fits but kind of awkwardly. I MscGyver'd something else to make it sit more naturally.
Umm I really do need something to charge both so I'd order again if I had to, it's a decent dock just not made 100% the way it should be IMO
I am looking at this unit or at another unit:
http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Solutions-Battery-compatible/product-reviews/B006IKLPSC
Not sure why anyone would have tried both, but if so, any comments?
It locked up once and I restarted it.
Locked up again after a few minutes, shut itself down and no matter what I do, I can't get it to restart.
Kind of a suck way to start the day.
Just this afternoon picked up my shiny new replacement from Best Buy...totally new shipment which had just came in. I added no apps and 15 minutes later the first random reboot. It rebootted7 times in two hours and then just t turned itself off and won't come back to life.
No...the battery isn't dead.
Plug it into any charger and the charging light doesn't come on.
Seriously....this is frustrating.
maybe its your battery
let it charge for a bit with the device off
did you unlock the boot loader
can u flash roms?
can u even get to the bootloader?
Phone is fully charged. It was working fine during a call and when I hung up the call, the screen locked up then quickly blinked twice and that was that.
I tried pushing the power switch for almost two minutes and noting happened.
Better now than when I am traveling for work I suppose.
Take it back before the grace period. Lolz?
My tpu case seems to be making the power button stick causing reboots. If you have a case, take it off and I would also remove the shiny top back cover and try again. If that doesn't work, call for replacement.

If you take the shiny back cover off you maybe removing something important. Look on the inside surface of the cover and you will see copper contact points. Is this the NFC antenna. I'm ignorant to how it works, just speculating.

I suggested taking it off just to try to get the phone to boot in case the power button us stuck. I didn't intend for him to leave it off forever

I understood what you meant
I did try it minus my TPU cover just in case that was the issue although the power button seems perfectly free..
Maybe they new camera will somehow magically be better

Well.....it sprang back to life all by itself sitting on my desk at work this morning (it is sitting there waiting for BB to call me and tell me they have a new replacement). It simply powered up, booted and came to life sitting there.
It now reboots a couple of times an hour just sitting there and at times actually turns Mobile Networks OFF all by itself.
Perhaps it is possessed?

It must be you. I think you need Jesus in your life.
Yeah.....maybe that's my problem. My heart sunk with the first lockup and reboot. I said some rather ugly stuff to my phone in the car.
BB stated they had taken back two out of the 7 preorders and when I asked for what reason, he said he wasn't sure.
Tomorrow I will exchange it one more time at a BB 100 miles away from the first one since we are away this weekend and they are already holding it for me. Maybe a change of venue will help
Sounds like some serious bad luck. I haven't heard of anyone's dying until you. I hope the different BBY return will do better for you man...

Speak for yourself, troll.
So I got the extended battery a few days ago, and I love the extra battery life, but now I seem to be paying a price for something I didn't buy.
Now I can only receive 3G data. I was on the global RUU 4.03.605.2 for the first part of the day, then flashed Vigor360 v1.1, then back to 4.03.605.2, then to 3.14.605.12 (OTA) and from beginning to end I never started with 4G, never ended with 4G.
I also am having data drops from hell, on any firmware.
Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Their right even the OEM extended battery back plate is terrible. See the gold strips on the inside of your stock backplane? That's your antenna. I sold my extended and switch between two regular instead. I bought an external lith-ion charger, it helps a lot.

My OEM extended backplate is fine. The antennas in it are coated in something, but they're still there and in the same places.
But, yea, it's probably the backplate. I'd take it back and swap it.
Well, it is just held on with tension, so some connections may not be connected.

Which external charger did you get? I returned the extended one after not liking the feel in my pocket when the phone was new, I switch between batteries but havent been able to find an external charger I knew for sure worked with the oem battery, the verizon/htc one was kinda pricey at the time....I should probably check again now that the phone has been out a while, but would still appriciate your info.
Thanks

digiPOWER i got it from walmart by the digital cameras cases, sd cards and stuff theres a bunch mines universal about 30$. it doesnt necessarily say cell phone batteries but it specifies ANY external lith-ion battery.. been working great for months
I had the phone on and in my hand when it just flickered off. I was in a 3d game but had only been running it for a couple minutes. The battery was reading about 90% before I fired up the game and it was plugged in to a factory samsung charger at the time. The game sort of stuttered a second or so before it shut down, then blank screen and it looked dead. It was slightly warm at the time, but nothing near overheating.
I held down the power button, nothing.
Tried power/volume combinations with no result.
Pried it out of the otterbox case it has been in since I got it and pulled the battery and put it back in, still nothing.
Pulled MicroSD and sim card.
Tried both volumes and plugging it in to USB with and without a battery, nada.
Left it alone and researched online for a bit, battery back in and nothing.
Plugged into a different charger and still nothing.
Seems no matter what I try, no response at all.
Both the phone and battery are cooled off at this point.
Could this be dead battery? Am I going about trying to force it to at least light up without a battery correctly?
At this point I'm at a loss. I can check the local AT&T store and see if they can at least let me test a different battery.
Last night I did flash the latest SHOstock 5.4 ROM, up from his 5.2. The phone ran fine afterward and I shut it down once since the flash without issues. This phone has been rock solid since day one, never dropped, no water damage, always in a case, pristine condition physically. Nothing to cause any trauma. Never even overclocked, but did have it running .25v undervolted at all speeds for a while.
I bought this last November, so it is less than a year old. Insurance is being paid but it is also within one year of purchase. So warranty should still be in effect? However, if it is this dead I can't flash it back to stock for warranty return, so what are my options there? Call it in as a warranty claim and hope for the best?
Edit: just tested the battery with a voltmeter. It is reading 4.1V, not sure if that is too high for a battery that is rated 3.7V or not. I'd guess no, so bad battery theory is likely out, unless it cooked the phone.
<edit> and I'm so frazzled from my beloved phone dying that I posted this to general instead of Q&A. argh.
I wouldn't rule out battery failure. Batteries don't power devices with voltage, and that voltage will only be discernible as an indicator for a very short period of time before it actually dies. You'll need a battery tester to check its actual amperage output, and I'd recommend looking up what it should be, along with its amp hour rating. Wish I had more to offer, but I work with dc backup powered systems, and they're a pain in the ass to catch with a voltmeter.
I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun
Yeah I know what you mean. I once had a car battery fail, read about 12V just fine but didn't put out enough miliamps to power even the dome light.
Taking lunch right now and headed to the retail store in town to see if they have a battery I can swap to test. More worried that I can't return to stock, really can't afford a $400 bill to replace this sucker if they catch that I've flashed it.
Had to drive an hour to the AT&T Device Support Center but its replaced now. I think the tech there was a bit surprised at how dead it was. He was figuring to just run his recovery tools and fix it right up, but got nothing.
Oh well, at least I'm not stuck on my old Tilt 2 running WinMo anymore. Though I do miss my keyboard a little bit.

After I got EnergyROM on my Tokyo the software worked as well as could be expected for WinMo. I also had a pretty much fully functional Froyo Android running off the SD card. The microphone finally died on it though, and the cost to replace out of warranty was more than I spent on the GS2.
I forgot how nice having a keyboard was though. Faster and more accurate typing plus you can still see the whole screen. Maybe that captivate glide wouldn't be so bad after all... Lol

Then it sounds like your hardware has failed or you bricked it at some point.
What was you doing prior to your device originally losing power?
Have you tried different charger?
What rom you on?
