Anyone have tips on making a charger stand or dock?
I basically have to have my watch on its face to charge.
Mine charges perfectly fine.. Never need to put it on its face.
I have the gunmetal with the brown leather band. I'm able to set it upright on the band with the band open. It doesn't look great but at least it's face up.
Would a *spit* applewatch stand work, or would the weight of the watch cause it to fall off? Could mould a disc from plastic or something to fit the circle and poke the charger through for the Zen?
You could use a simple wooden dowel with a 45° angle and screw the charging kit on top. (it looks like the old charging kit doesn't fit and we have to wait for a new version)
Built one
I've got the same Idea and built a dual Charger today. Looks great and works great, too

damn, this looks nice.
at the moment I'm thinking about something bigger where I can place all my devices (watch, phone, tablet, battery pack, ...)
Do you know a _good_ charging station with 2.4A? something like this?
Thanks!
I'm using a product called "tizi tankstelle" which can be found on amazon. They've got other USB-Chargers etc. as well. You can have a look here:

You can use this with any Apple Watch stand and you have one for under $30.

Dude that is flipping sweet. In fact I think I will make that tonight. My phone wirelessly charges, so I would want to have a hole on the base to fit the puck. I actually think I would like the phone to be inclined with a footer, so I can just drop it without having to worry about alignment.
Wow what a great idea. It would make great gifts too.
The only problem I would have is I have a metal band that doesn't open, so I would have to make a L bracket so I can slide it over.
Thanks. Pls upload a picture of your finished work
If you want to go cheap I found 2 projects on Thingiverse. In my current city there are no 3D printer (checked on 3dhubs.com), once I'll come back to the University I'll try to print something.

Yes, I actually bought two. It worked perfectly in two different watch stands.
Has anyone found a source for spare charging cables yet? Google Store doesn't allow me to put in cart... Must be because I'm in Canada. :/

I am in the same boat. Would love a spare charger for at work.
hopefully ebay will have these soon enough.

Yes, yes I do. One of the things I have found that helped a bit was to go into the Battery in the Settings, hit the 3dot menu, go into Battery Optimization and stop optimizing Android Wear. Hasn't solved the problem, but it has helped.
Either this is an issue with the Nexus 6P's bluetooth or the Zenwatch 2 is screwing bluetooth up big time. I've been having issues with my bluetooth headphones and with uConnect in my truck too. Eventually I need to take the ZenWatch 2 out of the equation and see if my BT problems go away. But it's been bad.

Thanks for this. I ordered mine from Amazon, and was surprised how well it worked. Bought an elander stand to go with it and it's pretty well perfect. Only wish there was more hardware/software support for this watch, as I'm finding that there isn't a lot out there for it. Shame too, because I think it's a very underrated watch.
If I may make a suggestion, the imprinted logo on the bottom doesn't make for adhering a sticky patch on it all that great.

Just wondering if anyone has bought a desk stand for their Transformer, any to recommend? I've searched and although I didn't see one specifically made for the Trans, there are some universal stands available.
I don't want the official keyboard attachment, thought I'd better mention that just in case.
There is one on amazon (US though). It's perfect and everyone keeps asking where I got it from. I fits any tablet really. There's a thread on the XOOM forum somewhere

I think I've seen that one in a search result, how do you find it for stability? I'd hate to have something that's easy to topple.
There's loads on Amazon but none particularly cheap. Cheapo option is to use a picture frame or plate stand. Sounds stupid but they do the job. It's not like you'll see them once the pad is on it. Either that or you could make one yourself if you're handy with tools, and don't burn down the house.

That thing is stable as a rock! I put it every where... I even keeps my TF upright when it's standing on the mattress at night! It has padded rubber feet and the same rubber at the part where the tablet rests so it cannot slip easily. Well worth the money and it's foldable....

Thanks for the recommendation. I just received mine today and it is working great so far. Super stable.
Good grief the prices for the Arkon stand range from just under a tenner to £37.58! Someone's having a laugh!
Told ya. This one looks kinda funky though: LINK Can't see why it wouldnt work with the tf.

Its been reduced to $12, decent price really.
The biggest issue with that stand (I have one) is that you can't really have the charger connected whilst it is sitting on it.

Why cant you have the transformer's port at the top, and plug it in that way? The screen will adjust fine. You need a usb 3.0 extension cable of course though.

I'd consider it if it wasn't for the two small boys. Regardless, it is a pretty ingenious design. Still, I wouldn't be comfortable without their being additional protection from something like Skinomi's screen and body protector films.
I've been waiting for this to show up on Amazon's US site, or another major US distributor. Not sure I want to order the thing from Germany, as I have a feeling that by the time that it gets shipped from the German Amazon, it will have shown up elsewhere and I'd be able to get faster/cheaper shipping.
nope, no need for that, the dock will do the trick.

That's only if Asus fixed the charging issues with the dock. With the TF101, it is not really a good idea to keep the thing docked all the time as you'll drain the dock's battery and could possibly damage it. On the TF101, it is better to only have the keyboard plugged in when you are using the keyboard or the tablet is very low on battery, but the dock is charged.
I think that it's up in the air right now in terms of whether it will be a good idea to store the TF201 docked.

the dock will charge the pad only to about 90% then wait until it drops to about 70.
So I guess that won't be a problem
The dock sucking the battery from the tablet was fix by Asus in an update, Iknow, I had it.
Yes the battery on the dock is still leaking (I have an early model, they could fix it if I send it back to them but it doesn't bother me that much) but it doesn't drain power from the tablet anymore.
And I'm pretty sure those issues aren't there at all in the Prime.

dont know but there have got some trademark or patent for something on the smart cover. it might just be method of attachment or even the name
Since this attaches magnetically, won't it interfere with the Prime's built in e-compass, like cases with magnetic closures did with the TF101?
I'm unable to tell, but it almost looks like this could hold the tablet up in a portrait orientation?
Or is my brain just telling my eyes what it hopes to see?
What's interesting is that the only information that we have on this is from Amazon.de. On the product page, there is no mention of the method of attachment, and there are no images showing the back of the smart cover, or how it attaches. My guess is that if this is not magnetic, they might use the two slots that the dock hooks into to attach the cover.
I would be happy either way, but what would make me really happy is if they put the smart cover up for pre-order and started shipping out units. Has anyone found a US site that has the smart cover on pre-order?

Wow, I totally nailed that one! I don't really care one way or the other, since neither take up much physical space. What I really would like is to get my pre-orders straightened out and for someone to sell me one of these 'transleeves'.

Hello Guys!
I just bought my LGOG and I'm waiting for it in the mail. While it arrives, I've been looking for a dock that supports the phone but haven't found anything yet.
Have you guys know of any Dock that works and fits this phone? I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure it will fit since it's for the S3:

What do you guys think?
yeah I`m about ready to order a desktop dock for a note or note 2 and try it out, I just want it for my night stand, like this one its suppose to have a compliant mico usb so it will flex and move with different thickness of phones still on the fence about it
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...1357149193&sr=8-45&keywords=note+desktop+dock
or one like this
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2032180&CatId=4975
Yeah i only need a dock for charging the phone on my night stand, so i guess a cheap one would do the trick. If no one has tried one yet I guess I'll have to buy one myself to try it out.

well I got the dock today, works with no case, there is no Audio out of the audio jack, but if you have any case on the OG it will not work. but it works for charging

here`s a dock I just bought from Amazon, the EZO dock it has adjustable front to back usb connector has soft pad for the back and front, looks like it would work with no problem if you had TPU case on your phone, but I use a neoprene slip pouch for my phone so I don`t have case that stays on the phone. pics are below

Probably be easier to get the coil from the Palm Pre (and cheaper to get parts). But I don't think it charges via the qi standard and you would have to use the TouchStone Charger.

Looking for a dock that isn't flimsy when the phone is docked in it.
I bought one cheap as dirt on ebay but the phone wobbles in it.
Any dock you guys use that plants the phone in FIRM?

And it is like a glove I love it. It's perfect.
***UPDATE 2*** when docked music plays but no sound comes out... Strange
I just got the dock from sony online store. Works great. Still has a little bit of play, but it wouldn't be good if it was a tight fit because then it would scratch the phone. It was $42 dollars and change shipped. Magnetic base latches on with a snap. Costly, but great!

I actually made one myself. All I needed was some patience, a piece of wood and a router. I took apart the dock I bought from eBay that could never really hold my phone correctly. Then I custom cut one that could contain my phone, a case, and the cable. It's not quite glued together, but it works. I routed a channel that I could quickly slap my phone in and the magnetic charger is centered appropriately so it can charge with a case.
Here's my first whack at it:

I am a developer and like connecting my phone to my computer on a dock when I program so I can send an app to the device without the cables getting in the way or touching the phone. I had one for my Note II and while it looked crappy, it got the job done. I don't need anything fancy, Universal works, too as long as the phone is in portrait mode and the cable can be reversed.
I came across this:

I think I'd like to get something a little more secure, but this would probably work well for me anyways.
Sorry... *Not Qi... Long day. Tired and mixed up the wireless techs in my typing...

Connector isn't facing the right way. Its not going to work with Nexus or HTX One. Thanks though.. That's on the right track!
I JUST ordered one on amazon. It's supposed to be really good and the looks are exactly what I was searching for. It's called Bracketron Nanotek Stand. Mine's the aluminum silver version. Weird how we are both thinking the same thing even though I have never really thought of getting one for any device before.
I found what I'm looking for... but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I guess the technical term is cradle.

Since it was posted on their site January 6th, I guess it hasn't made it out to retailers yet. The sell a universal one for the M8 that would work with our phones, but I'd rather get something that supports the device on the sides as well.
This dock is perfect! Has anyone been able to get it yet?

If you don't mind waiting, the same thing can be had for half the price on ebay. FYI I am using one as an iPad stand and it's working very well. Good thing is it works with or without case, bad thing is obviously you need to plug the cable in manually every time.

The only US distributer is Naked Cell Phone (basically an eBay store but they do have a website). I contacted them 3 weeks ago and they said 10 days they should be receiving them.... So that's 11 late now ?. I keep checking their eBay store daily to see if they get them in.
Sorry if I am dreaming
I need a dock or stand that can handle a thick case.
Size of Nexus 6 is 6.27" x 3.27" x 0.4" (159 x 83 x 10.1 mm), so it should handle 0.4" or greater.
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

I ended up getting that one. After bending to make room for a USB cable on the bottom and still allowing it to stay upright and not fall backwards, I still only kinda like it. It works if I don't have to touch the phone. If I have a button on the top half, it falls backwards.
Thanks. Do you remember where you ordered it from?

I got it from Amazon. Ended up buying the RND dock that recently came out on EBay. Gets here on Saturday.
I found this desk dock that looks like it would do the trick and it's cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charge-Windows/dp/B00RWFVS1Q/
I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but can someone tell me if or how this works with Daydream? According to this: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2818748?hl=en 'By default, your device may only Daydream when it is docked. If you want your device to Daydream whenever it is plugged in, make sure to set "When to Daydream" as "Either" or "While charging."'
Are the docks wired for the phone to know if is docked like the Galaxy Notes I have had, or is there another way? Are there special docks that enable dock mode for the Nexus 6? If so, I haven't been able to find any yet.
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMOBI4-2I...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item43d6b7daf6..
It's properly made for the Nexus 6 and fits perfectly. You may not want the landscape orientation but it works well for me.
This is the one I'm using: http://fuzdesigns.com/pages/EverDock
Not keen on universal docks
I have to say that I am not a fan of universal docks like the Ever Dock. The bottom of the N6 is rounded and the lack of support at the sides means it can wobble while plugged in.
Sooner or later this is going to damage the USB port.

They have a thicker rubber part you can buy. That plus the case on the phone means the phone rests evenly on the dock.
That makes sense. I hate cases so I keep forgetting that a lot of people use them.
Has anybody found one that activates dock mode for Daydream?
