Edge Charging Display - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone found something similar to the Blackberry Priv's edge charging display app?
Would love something like it for when using wireless charger

Would love to have it too! Anyone?

I'd like that too. It's pretty cool.

Maybe someone here could port it create one

I dont see yet. it's cool

[Q] Charging dock

Have any found a charging dock for the optimus 7 or just one that fits?
I wouldn't know how it would work though, given that the micro usb port is covered my that plasticky flap/cap. I would be interested in a battery that supports the induction-based charging though...
You just cut the flap/cap off
Thought about it, but then I thought about the fact that the LED backlight leaks through the back of the micro usb port. And it would just look plain ugly with it removed. I mean, this device is all about uniformity and solidness...a missing chunk is like a missing ... shoulder...

Don't know if it is true or not but I heard on another forum that Verizon has a doc for a different phone that works. There was a problem with the side buttons on the LG but not in all cases and people simply widened the doc slightly so the side buttons didn't hit. Don't remember the name of the docking station though you should be able to check in a Verizon store.
Hope this helps. I also miss the docking charger from my Blackberry that I sold when I got my LG.
I want one!!!! :d

[Q] Anyone getting zapped?

So I feel like when I touch the back of the prime (mostly by speaker) i get zapped, like a buzz(not quite an electric shock). this happens when its in the dock and charging.
anyone else experience this?
I get that buzz also when i touch the part over the keyboard keys on the dock when it is charging. Screen also has to be on to make that happen. Not 100% sure what it is either.
This has been addressed before, turn the wall charger around so the Asus letters are inline with the wall ground.
I got buzzed yesterday if that's what you mean? LOLJK but sounds like a pretty cool glitch.

My new dock

Just thought I'd share this to fellow i777 owners. Not my auction, just passing along a good deal
http://www.ebay.com/itm/40023632305...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=400236323051&_rdc=1
While I knew the i9100 stuff usually worked ok for us, I thought I'd test out one of these. Great fit, silly cheap, does what I need. Grabbed one for the office and another one on the way for the nightstand.
I plan to buy one as well but the one for 30 bucks which comes with a spare battery and hdmi cable
Sent from my SGH I777 running Jellybam 6.3.0
Wish I saw this earlier. I m about to upgrade my phone. Thanks for sharing though.
dock it
it looks pretty nice , i am going to buy one too but choosing still between two different ones
2nd battery
nice find, but how would one know when the external battery is done charging?
Does it stop charging the phone after its full, for a time?
Can you push agains the phone while its on?
Nice find thanks. I need something like this.
I read abt the original dock cradle, that it roughs up the bezel on the sides..
How about this one ??
Is this compatible by size with i777? I thought i777 is little bigger, than i9100.
Thanks for info!
Sorry guys for not following the thread and replying.
The i777 is slightly bigger than the i9100, but not much. This is one of those times where the "just a little off" 3rd party stuff works out to our advantage.
I haven't really used the spare battery charger part yet, so not sure when it knows to be "off"
I use one at home on my nightstand strictly for charging, one at work for hooking into my pc. No problem with data connection and as long as you're not being heavy handed, you can style use the touchscreen while docked.

Dock

If anyone is like me and uses their phone in a dock, the DeX station works just fine. Fits snug, just need root for SecondScreen to disable display on phone when docked to preserve battery and reduce temp.
Not sure Razer will step up and make one
Thanks for sharing! I've wondered what the direction for this will be too.
I've got this one otw. Though the dex supports fast charge doesn't it? Do you see it activating quick charge at all?
Quick charge, fast charge, dash charge, we need more formats of charging. :| (total joke, hate segmentation)
Have any photos of it docked? Also any benefits of using the Dex sick over just video out?

Easy connection, quicker charging, very tiny fan cooling on the back.
Hehe, though the question now comes to mind because I had an s8...
Can you dock it with the case on? I have the rugged case, adds a good 1/8" maybe.
Possibly. It's snug as it is tho. I don't have a case to test
Thanks DarkestSpawn, I had no idea about the dock but this would be a handy device to have for my phone sometime
Fyi, this one does not work:
http://a.co/drjhfHQ
Tried it for a few seconds last night, no video out, charging message said 'slow charging'.

The DeX dock is specifically for Samsung phones, right...or can you use the DeX dock with any USB C (Android) phone and be able to use a large monitor to talk with the phone...?

I would assume yes, but I've only tried with the Razer Phone. If it's not a Samsung device then you won't have Dex mode, it just acts like a USB c hub with HDMI out

Wireless charger working?

I'm having problems to find a good wireless charger for my s20u... the camera module gives me issue with my old anker charger (it leaves some space between the charger and the phone) and it takes forever to fully charge it (like 6 hours from 5 to 100%). Any of u using a wireless charger that works fine with s20u? If possible, I'm looking for one that doesnt keep the phone standing up, I rather have a pad. Thanks!
I use the official Samsung one that stands up. It's like $80, but has a cooling fan and works great.

I really dont like the ones standing up because i often use the phone while charging and im worried it might fall down, anyway can you give me the exact code name of the one you're using? There are so many different chargers from Samsung. Thanks!

Thanks! I noticed its not made for the s20 ultra tho, and in the samsung page reviews:
"Had this with no issues with my S10+. On the S20 Ultra, you can only charge in landscape mode which isn't helped with the Always on Display being in portrait. It's not an east or west alignment, it's I think the Qi pad in the phone is too high and the charger itself may be too low."
Do you have a problem like that?

I charge mine in portrait all the time. I've never tried landscape though. I can try landscape Monday and post an update as the charger sits on my desk at work.

I always use portait as well so would be fine, i just dont understand why that guy said it worked in landscape only though. I guess maybe because the camera module is so big that in interferes with the charge, like with my charger now... but it works for you so I really dunno!

Maybe he's not using a case? I use an OtterBox defender pro and have used a dbrand grip.

Yea I use a case as well (ESR) but shouldnt the case make it even worse since it adds a layer? So you have some space between the phone and charger due to the module camera and also the case layer on top of that?

Thank you!! I was hoping it was the other CHOETECH one, the one with the phone not standing... because i often use the phone while it's charging and its not confortable to me to use it while standing while its much better if its just laying on a pad.

Yes thats the one I was hoping you had. The real question is: does it work? I just had to return the one i bought yesterday because it doesnt really work well with S20U, and if you check forums all over the world a lot of people have problems to use a wireless charger with S20U. Some are WAY slower than with S10+ (like both mine, the 700mAh difference doesnt make up for 2 hours extra time), others keep disconnecting while charging it... and since I cant keep returning the chargers, I was hoping to find someone who can confirm me something that works. I was suggested the totallee one, too bad they dont see them here in europe. :/

The one i have has no issues with the 3.0 quick charge it come with. I think to get the fast charge it needs to have Samsung adaptive fast charge or quick charge 3.0 brick. My phone was charged from 5% to 100% in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
