Any suggestions for a desk dock? I'd really like usb 3 support since charging from usb it's so slow to begin with. I checked out Amazon, but everything looked really crappy. Sync would be nice, but I'm mainly using it for charging. I'm not using any cases or covers. Thanks all!

The OEM desk dock works great for me. It doesn't sync but has USB 3.0 connections and chatted very fast. It has a stereo speaker jack too.

I have one by victsing.com (I can't post links yet :/)
It's supposed to be able to connect via 3.0, but mine doesn't :/ that's not exactly the worst thing in the world for me. The dock itself is small and connects via a USB 3.0 cable (I just use my original samsung one) the dock also has a slot for an extra battery so you can charge a second battery while you're using your phone on it. It's a solid dock for $13ish.

With this one do you have to buy a separate back with that dock? If so where would I get one? This one looks sweet!

I just bought this Qi charger from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H5FX1WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also I bought this charger when it was 50% off so the price was not as bad.

I assume it is the same as an MHL connector. My questions are 1) Does it also charge your phone so it doesn't die if you're trying to watch a movie on an HDTV and 2) For the following product linked below, what is that small connector for that's next to the part that plugs into the back of your TV? I see that the other end of it plugs into your phone but can't figure out what the 3rd connector is for.

not sure, but have you tried it on the palm touchstone rather than the touchpad touchstone?
also... are you using a case? if so, you might have a case that's too thick

Here is another link...i have not tried it on a stone as i don't have one and they are the same thing/
the touchpad touchstone charges slightly differently than the palm and potentially it might not make the receiver not want to initiate the connection.
also, are you using a case? if so, is it thicker than 4mm?

ummm took case of to test but no luck. I hear what you are saying about the chargers but obviously this is designed to be independent of the brand but follow the same standard which all those chargers do along with the energizers etc of the world.
actually... between the three known inductive charging standards, they're not really compatible at all. Powermat claims to be providing qi support in the future but none of them currently work on the other's product.

I have purchased from TigerDirect - many years ago - and they were reliable then. I presume the same is true now... They are I the US and have been in business a long time... I just ordered two charging docks from them.
Note: I have already ordered the wireless charging back cover from Verizon because I actually prefer OEM products and wanted to make sure it was from Verizon as I have the Verizon phone so I know it will be true OEM and work flawlessly...

as myself previously having a MDK S4 rooted in all AOSP glory and having to get a replacement and stuck with safe strap now. you really really want to keep your phone and fix it yourself. This phone is a POS when not AOSP.

Well not true. There are wireless connection methods used everywhere with this phone: I happen to use Hyperdrive Rom's FTP transfer to connect my MDK S4 to my home's wireless network, to transfer files between phone and computer. You can do everything you need to wirelessly: charging, and file transfers!!
You don't need to fix anything, just buy the wireless charging thing, and do wireless file transfers!
Plus we've got removable batteries. I've got two spares and an external charger/dock. I just rotate the batteries while charging isn't available.

Oh, good point. Well, I guess if you need to use one of those things, you'll have to replace the USB port, or lose your MDK. Sucks, but I'd go for replacing the USB port any day. It's a good opportunity for learning more about how phones are put together, too.
UPDATE: Ordered the part from Amazon, got it in about 2 days. Took about 10 minutes to swap, and that was only because I was having a hard time putting the super small screws back in. Everything went well and I have a working usb port and kept MDK!

Also beware of this before you buy:
I purchased this product because my Galaxy S4 USB port stopped working. I installed the replacement part and so far so good - my phone charges again! I initially had a microphone problem (which others have mentioned here), but I was able to resolve it by removing an orange / amber colored piece of protective tape that was covering the microphone port / hole.

That's the one I was looking at. But it said 17-31 days shipping when I ordered. So I cancelled. Appreciate the response.
It's a hardware button that slots into your 3.5 mm headphone socket and can be used as a shortcut for a number of apps like camera shutter or flash.

It's no bigger than the cutouts for the headphones on most cases so this should be fine to use on a phone with a case. It is in fact the same size as most headphone connectors so if a headphone fits so will this. Just an excuse to spend 24p really lol that's why I bought one, no reason to.. No reason not to. Although I do think being able to activate the flash with one click even with the phone in standby is pretty useful for me personally.

Any effect on battery life?
My G3 (D855) seems to be having issue detecting anything that I plug in the headphone jack other than the stock headphones that came with it. I tried plugging in the pressy button and a portable speaker on separate occasions but they were only detected momentarily. The button works fine on my old phone which is a galaxy note n7000 so I'm pretty sure it isn't spoilt.
Anyone has any clue about this issue? Otherwise I'll probably send my G3 for repair since it's still obviously still under warranty.
I am having issue with Pressy on g3 and my other phone so it's not the phone it's Pressy.

Sounds like a software problem with compatibility? I don't see why some work and some don't.. Hopefully gets fixed with an update.
