Hey guys. I just wanted you all to know that of the three options: Nokia Charging Pillow, plate, or stand. It's all about the stand! I've purchased all three and I wish I would have purchased the stand FIRST! I didn't know about it until after I purchased the pillow and the plate. The plate sucks because you have to make sure the phone is centered at all times, otherwise your phone doesn't charge or over heats or both. I've had bad experiences going to sleep and waking up to a beeping 120 degree phone. The pillow sucks because well for me it was pointless. It didnt help me in any way, I just took the plate out of the pillow and then it became a plate, which I just finished explaining. The pillow itself is a waste of money. The stand is perfect, you don't have to worry about your phone being centered because once its put on the stand it is centered. Anyways. To me, the plate and the pillow were mistakes. They should have only created the stand in the first place. Its perfect! I bought it from AT&T on employer discount for around $50, I think regular price its about the same as the others at about $65.
I got the stand used through Amazon and it does work pretty well. As others have mentioned though the NFC while working isn't in the best spot, and the phone can't be set horizontally either to watch videos or something. I'm sure there will be better ones down the line when wireless charging catches on.
Can you post a link to the stand, I see a ton when I google.

I know I just finished bashing them but If anyone wants to buy them off me let me know. $60+shipping for the pair? $35+shipping for each? Let me know...

Well, you can't set the phone down horizontally and watch movies on any of the 3 can you? I just think that out of the 3 this one beats the other 2 hands down. And I think because it is always centered it charges slightly faster too. With the plate I am always wondering if its sitting on it correctly. Which is pretty annoying, especially if i pick it up at night when im in bed and i try to center it again in the dark...
Hopefully Verizon carries this thing online soon so I can use my discount. Otherwise it is fairly expensive especially since I plan to buy 2 or 3.
I also have the stand and agree it is the best option. You actually can get it to play and charge while horizontal if you don't mind propping it up on something. I have not been able to get the NFC to even activate and yes, I have it turned on in the settings. Maybe I am touching with the wrong spot on the phone. Can anyone discuss how this works?

AT&T had it last week and I bought one with my employee discount for $51.75 which is a lot better than $69. I tried to buy another one yesterday but it was out of stock. When it's back in stock I'll see if I can work something out with anyone that wants one. I could just buy it and have it shipped straight to you instead of myself. Paypal transaction or something. Anyone interested in something like that PM me

The NFC chip in the phone is behind the HTC logo, but it won't activate since the tag in the charging stand is for Windows Phone. You'll have to download an app called NFC Retagger to set the tag to launch an app or action
The NFC tag on the stand is on the front, on top if the little white light. I believe it says "NFC" in small print.
This confused me also, because I expected the NFC to be in the back if the stand, so the phone would see the NFC while charging. But, I don't know, maybe the current interferes with it or something.

Just to report back, NFC Retag worked for me. Easy to use and set up, works great with the stand and you do have to have the phone screen active and hold it sideways. Probably easier to just turn on the app but nice to know it works. This is new technology for me, other than the commercials of people tapping phones together I am not familiar with other ways this feature is used in everyday life but I am here to learn.
Thanks again.

ShabbyPenguin posted this in the Photon general section because it gets more hits. I figured some people here would want this since it's the right price.
It should work with the Razr as it does the Photon via simple mod, Thanks to CDThomas9. Here's his mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223032
I just bought one.
Does anyone know if it'll work with the 4G on the Razr out of the box? On AT&T supposedly it only works on wifi unless you buy a tethering package.
damn.... cant get it in canada it seems....
bah!!! I want to pick up two, but alas us canucks are left out in the cold. Damn it. anyone know if this is available in store?
well i just reserved one from a store for tomorrow. Going to see if I can get it to work with the Razr

u have to mod it. but its not a huge deal. takes 5 mins. it will sit like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm_m1ZpunOA
im in canada right now too. u get raped on everything up here. when i bought my phone, i had to pay 75 for customs on top of the 50 i already paid for shipping.
sorry to bring bad news but, it looks like that deal is over now. its been showing it for $99 for a few hours now.
That why I called earlier today and talked with the manager. they reserved it and post noted that it will still be $50
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the Atrix Lapdock. First, with the removal of the four screws shown in the Photon thread over at XDA, the HDMI and USB wires become free. It plugs right in and fires right up! No webtop or other mods needed. Mobile data works fine as well, in the att description, it says you need tethering for it to work, but i just have a grandfathered unlimited plan, and it works fine. the phone sits on the back ok, but with nothing much more than the wires to hold it in place. Other than that I can only complain about how close the touchpad is to the spacebar, but it can be disabled by double-tapping the top left corner. I got mine in-store, they will price match the web site, just FYI.

I'm not talking about the ports (I can handle that).
I'm curious whether it will work on 4G or not. Supposedly, you couldn't use the full-featured browser on the Dock unless you paid AT&T extra, but I don't know if VZW has a similar restriction, or if it works on this particular peripheral.
ok so i bought one, i aos bought these so i dont have to convert anything
can't post links so look these up on ebay
Micro USB B Male Female M/F Extension Charging Cable
New Hdmi Female To Mini Hdmi Male Cable Adapter M/F M F F/M Converter Cables Pc
and
Micro HDMI socket Female to HDMI Male adapter convertor
looks like it should cover it for connections.
anyone find better please let me know.
4G works perfectly. The lapdock is a little sluggish but hell for $50 I'm not complaining. I actually flipped the contacts around. I had to dremel the holes a little but other than than, a perfect fit. The phone sits upside down in the dock.

Looks like Motorola caught on. It's $100 and "Out of Stock."
Ill see if I can get some pics. Here are some pics. What I did was follow the above posted MOD. I dremeled down the back hoping that the phone would fit with the case on it. It didn't. It is held sturdy and works.
Looks pretty good. I'm like 2 sec from buying this, is there anyway possible that you could post a video of the software running? I know its short notice but pleeeease lol.

You might get lucky and actually find an entire Rezound for parts for cheap if you look around. People get rid of these things all the time for broken screens or whatever else.

+1. Same here. Popped it out to fix screen issues one too many times and red wire is now loose.
Just found this and ordered one. Will report back whether it works. Willing to take a $7.75 (incl. shipping) chance, since most of the "as is" and/or "for parts" rezounds are desparately overpriced you-know-where. Note also, Repairs Universe does *not* carry this vibrate motor.

Nope, not yet. I did, however, secure an Evo 3D motor elsewhere and installed it today. Works just fine.
There are others still there. Here's what my search results revealed just today.
I think the units with the white connectors that match the Rezound connectors are probably fairly stock. I'm getting ready to sell the Rezound I replaced it in (bad proximity sensor; already have a replacement unit), but if I still have it when this other one arrives from overseas, I'll give it a whirl (unless I can tell from looking at it that it's the same thing), and report back.
Anything on this could help me too. It seems mine has malfunctioning vibrator too. I haven't noticed this until weekend, I had stock and not having so much calls so I can't say if it vibrates good, I flashed Cyanogenmod and notice the bug, in stock it doesn't vibrate and I'm thinking this is hardware related so your info will be valuable

Sorry for the super late reply. Ended up getting a s3 and put the rezound in the draw. Just went and revived it and fixed the screen and got a vibrator motor for it from ebay. It seems like almost all htc motors work. I got an EVO 3d one and it works like a charm.

May take you up on that - my motor is almost completely dead. I see where it is when the back cover is off - is it just a matter of removing the four small screws on the red shield to get to the motor?

It's 6 screws, but yes, that's it. It's easily visible once you remove that plastic plate. Using a small flathead screw-driver you can pull the connector from the port, and the motor itself lifts easily out of the mount. Then all you do is plug in the replacement motor and slip it into position and you should be good to go.
We finally bought the replacement from etradesupply. This part seems to get easy damaged so I recommend every Rezound owner to get one replacement if he/she wants to have the Rezound for a couple of years
I gotta get a replacement also. I order one from Totobay also.
Stupid question from not a very handy guy, what screw driver do I need to open the back from the rezound?
thanks

I was able to successfully install the vibrator I got from Tatabay (took about a month to arrive from china). It fit fine but the attached cable is longer than the Rezound one which you must have to loop around. The main difference is tough that the weighted metal part that spins is actually smaller than the original and therefore the vibration it produces is more high pitched than the original. Not a huge deal but just thought I'll let you guys know that it's not exactly the same.

Just got it today, so it didn't take as long as I thought..
It looks exactly like the ebay picture, and the fit and finish is very nice as well. It comes with an insert that you can remove, so you can put a slim case on your phone, and still keep it in the dock, or leave the insert in and put the phone in "naked". It comes with a USB cable, but NOT a charger, which is fine with me, as I have so many cables and chargers already.
For the money, it was WELL worth it; this dock, with a "name brand" on it would be at least 29.99 or more, so for 16.99 shipped, its definitely worth it, if you want a desktop vertical dock for the phone!
hey @wase4711, Look Google listened to you

Horizontal dock options?
In a perfect world there would be a horizontal (aka landscape) dock option for this device, but I haven't found it yet. Has anyone else had any luck?
ahhh i was hoping for the charger feature!
I purchased 2 Motorola keylinks one from Motorola's website and one from a T-Mobile store. I want to share my though about this little device.
Let me start by saying the keylink is much smaller than I imagined it would be. The device itself isn't anything fancy its just a little triangular key fob with a single button and a hole in the back whose function I am not sure of at this time. The fob won't get in your way like the battery pack micro would and I don't even notice that its there.
The Motorola connect app is what is used to find your phone or Keylink should you misplace it. If you lost your phone simply double tap the Keylinks button to have your phone chime in a really annoying "come find me and shut me off" fashion.
Edit: I found out what the tiny hole on the back of the Keylink is. Its a speaker for when you "Ping it" from the app. The button on the back also flashes green to make it easier to find. It should be noted that you hedge to press the button to get out to stop beeping unless there's a set time it beeps for. (I haven't tested it to see how long it beeps for before stopping)
(I blacked out the street names in the screen shots for privacy reasons)
The app won't let me create and OP and post pictures in the same post so here they are:
did you ever use the moto power pack micro prior to this?
i use the power pack micro and it does not get in my way at all. i have push button start in the ride so the keys stay in my backpack, etc.
different strokes i suppose. i picked up the power pack micro for its charging gimmick and the fact that i can attach it to the moto 360s charge base (i carry one around in my backpack) so i have power to charge that little guy when needed.
appreciate you taking time to post on this gadget. you answered the questions i was wanting to know...

Its just too big for me. I tried one out and I didn't like it. I understand everyone has a need, I was just addressing those of us who want something small that can fit easily into your pocket without adding a huge bulge.
I think the micro is good for some but not everyone, I like to have the bare minimum when I carry my keys as you can see, but if I left it in my bad out wouldn't be bad at all, however I prefer it on my keys where I can't lose it.
i purchased a keylink too mainly for the trusted device. Im loving it so far no problems here.

I like my keys to be minimal as well. I used to have a Ford SUV but I couldn't stand how many issues it had (I bought it new too). I love my KIA, its Android inspired because I can.
Anyway the Keylink is small enough not to notice so I would give it a try. T Mobile was sold out all around where I was, I called 7 stores to find one.

I keep my house keys separate from my car keys because I don't like everything on one keyring. The Keylink is less than half the size of your key judging from in the picture. I hope you like it as much as I do. It doesn't do a lot but it does what I need it too and thats start makes it great.

Thanks to my XDA buddy @Pilz, i ordered this, and FedEx delivered one day early. I am impressed by the build quality, and the Motorola Connect app. I attached a photo of it attached to my car key fob to show size.

It looks so tiny next to your car key. My second one came today too! This is easily the best little device.

To me, it actually looks bigger in my photo than it really is. i dont even realize its hanging on my keychain most times.

That's how I feel, I forget that it's there until I look at my keys.

Ironically my best friend also has the same lanyard for his Ford Expedition. He got it when he took flying lessons.
I received my Keylink today, the build quality is excellent, but I hate the fact you have to use Motorola Connect, keep location settings on, and give them permission to collect data in your phone....
Hey is anyone else experiencing this issue with the phone back peeling? It is really bad alongside the audio jack. It's starting to crack around the input for the charger also. Seems like a defect. I wouldn't think this would be normal wear and tear after only a month.

Did you sport a case with phone?

Mine isn't doing that at all, but I've only taken the back off one time since the day I bought the phone. My battery and SD card promo pack are showing up tuesday, and I'm sure mine will be peeling once I start swapping batteries every day.
Luckily for us, replacements are available: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=lg+v10+back+cover&_sacat=0
I don't use a case... But really this shouldn't be happening. I have taken the back off maybe 5 times? This is something that younger expect to start happening after 6 months of use.... And what about the spot beside the charging port?
I'm gonna see if I can maybe get them to send a replacement back. I don't feel like this is something you'd normally expect of a 6 week old phone. IMHO

That's probably from taking an inaccurate aim when stabbing in the USB cable, but I agree that it shouldn't be happening at all.

You should, this is a flaw that we will all face, so please update us with any response you get.
Your right, shouldn't be happening. I never go naked so mine is fine. Looks like spots where something rubs or catches. I would contact LG and/or your carrier.

Yeah.. I mean I'll admit sometimes in the dark it's probably more difficult to get it just right. But totally would think LG would've counted for that and made it a little more durable... Literally only like 6 weeks old... Lol

Mine is only two weeks old and already peeling on the bottom of the battery cover. Not as bad as the OP's but its there. I noticed it after just a couple days.
Mines doing it too
Peeling around headphone jack pretty bad

Yikes! Thankfully I'm not seeing this so far!
I'm not using a case and I've removed the back maybe 5 or 6 times. I hope this doesn't happen to all of them!

Mine is too.
Tmobile response to my questioning them on the back falling apart.
Wow. Mine has the same problem. I talked to Verizon, they can't do anything about it, LG wants me to send the back to them and they will investigate and see whose fault it is. I'm having reservations and it because I will have to go bareback (???) for a few days. I'm still pissed because it was less than 2 weeks when I got the phone.

At least their being honest with you. Take it as a chance to invest in a wireless charging back cover.
This is a serious lack in customer service. What a mess. I will be calling next week and also sending pics and complaints to Tmobile. This phone is unfortunately not turning out to be all its cracked up to be. First with the busted screens and now this not so "Dura"skin peeling off the back. This should not be an opportunity to go and buy something else.... Now if LG wants to send me a $15 gift card or something I'll get another back....
Don't get me wrong the internal hardware is great but then so is the G4. I bought it because of its durability primarily and this is quickly becoming an area where it appears to be lacking... Now I just have a "heavy" phone.... With similar features as some other not so heavy ones...

I started a thread on Reddit also. I sent emails to Android Central and Android Police. I don't personally have a Twitter account but if you do maybe consider Tweeting it to LG with a link to the thread so that they can see these multiple reports. Comment on the Reddit thread as well to get that more visibility.... Hopefully this helps.

Same problem with my phone. I've had it since day one and it's peeling in the exact same way in the same spot. I called LG and they said they'd replace it after I send them the back of my phone and they send me a new back which would take up to 10 days. What a joke. I love the phone otherwise but I bought it so I wouldn't need to buy a case. Not that the cases work with the fingerprint scanner. I'm glad for jump on demand. I think it's ridiculous they won't send us a part that cost them a few cents but they send out batteries and sdcards for free.
