Hi Guys,
The Verizon CDMA Touch Pro2 presumably requires an adjustment to the standard design for Desktop Cradle becaue of the USB port being offset from the middle to make way for the 3.5mm phono jack. has anyone found a desktop cradle that will fit yet? I assume that the Sprint version also has the same requirement.
I'm looking for the exact same thing for my Verizon TP 2, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tatiania
I definitely would like to have one as well for my desk. Especially if it also has a battery charging slot or two.

Unhelpful...prolly the reason why the poster came here in the first place.
I just ordered one from the Boxwave website. It is for the Verizon CDMA version. It also has a slot to charge an extra battery at the same time which is what I really need so I don't tie my phone up for 6 hours to charge 2 batteries.

Good deal, let us know how well it fits. Interested in seeing if the offset USB will be a problem. What kind of secondary battery did you go with? Seido is or has released an extended battery that fits under the stock cover. An additional 250mh.

I got the stock battery from verizon. Battery life is pretty good with the stock battery. I like to try and time my usage so when I charge it at night the battery is low. Some say that's better for the life of the battery.

Mike, I'm finding my battery hangs in there pretty well also. Only 1/3 use over a nine hour day where my tytyn would be 2/3 as I end my work day!
Yes, but seem out of stock at the moment

Any word on the cradle from Boxwave for the Verizon TP2? I'm wondering about the fit with the offset usb connector.
What would be really cool is a cradle with the offset usb connector and a 3.5mm plug so the cradle would have an audio out. That way you can still use your headphones with the TP2 in the cradle.

That used to be true until Lithium ion came out. Shallow discharges are actually preferable now. This site explains it well: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone.htm
Having said that, battery life is exceptional on mine. Don't see any good reason to bulk it up more with a larger one either.

Got mine today. They must have sent the wrong one because it doesnt fit. My order does say that I ordered the Verizon version. The connecter is not offset as it should be. I emailed Boxwave today asking them to send a new one along with a paid shipping label to send back the wrong one. Hopefully they will do that so I can at least use the spare battery charger portion. Also I don't want to have to pay shipping fees to send back the one that is wrong.
Mike
I was afraid it wouldn't fit.. the pics on boxwave didn't show an offset connector and reading the details.. just said for the Verizon TP2 with no mention of an offset connector.
I've been looking everywhere and when I see one labled "for the Verizon TP2" the pics never show an offset connector. I think a cradle for the VZW TP2 is gonna be hard to find for awhile yet.
Tatiania
WTF?!? Did this post die a premature death or what? Nobody's had any luck finding a cradle for the CDMA version?
Tati
I don't get it. Who needs a cradle when the device has a built in tilt screen and sits up quite well on it's own with the screen showing off it's landscape mode while being plugged in from the side. I'm all for cradles as I owned one for my Touch Pro, but this device really doesn't need one....

Vertical cradle
I just purchased a vertical cradle from an outfit in the UK (Hamill Dist.) but haven't received it yet. I based my decision on a favorable report from HTC Wizard Web (http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/510). The Ebay unit looks identical, and I figured it wasn't rocket science and basically a plastic holder with USB connector at the bottom.
I'll report back when I receive it and test it out.

I bought
the boxwave vertical cradle and have been using it for a couple of weeks. Not a bad design, but could be better. Needs a spare battery slot. Also, the mini-usb connector is sort of long and you have to be carefull when putting the phone in and out of the dock. I'm afraid I might break it off in the phone at some point. Nothing like that has happened yet, but it just doesn't feel bullet proof.
I'm using an old Rolodex card holder with my sync cable as a horizontal cradle...works absolutely great! The 8125 happens to be a near-perfect fit when oriented horizontally. Pulled it our of my office's back room right before it was going in the trash...
http://www.arsmar.com/emporium/IMG/c07a-Rolodex-2.jpg
I am using the Boxwave one. Here are my thoughts:
1) I also am using the FlexiSkin. The 8125 does fit with the skin on, but you have to remove the cradles clear plastic support piece (or just leave it off to begin with).
2) Connection - the power part charges easily, but the sync part takes a little more wiggling/time to work than I am used to with the OEM USB cable. I am not sure if it is because of the FlexSkin, the cradle or what...I'll test it out.
3) Design. It is light, and you have to operate with 2 hands to put on and remove. My sync cradle for my old Casio E125 had this lift button to remove the device easily, and I wish this did.
4) Bottom is covered. If you plan ahead, no biggy. I just keep a spare stylus by the cradle because I kept forgetting to remove it before syncing. You may also want to have your bluetooth headset ready, because answering the phone is a little awkward (whether removing the device, or using speakerphone). No way to use a wired set - the plug is covered.

Just the chargers. It comes with a usb cable to attach it to the computer and a normal american outlet charger. If you buy them off of ebay I remember seeing one that comes with a battery. I dont trust the battery that it comes with though I rather just spend the extra cash and be sure of the quality of the battery. Hope this helped

Thanks, I was thinking about just getting an OEM battery but what I'm looking for ideally is a single cradle that I can just dock my phone in but also have a spare battery charging in.

Have the original one for the OG EVO (about a year now,) worked pretty good....it is on my wifes desk at her work now.
thanks for the link
I found one at the Kidigi site a few weeks ago. It isn't out yet, but I emailed the company and they say it should be available at the end of July.
I saw another model on eBay and a few other sites, but the spare battery charger holds the battery horizontally, which takes up more space on your desk. It looks like the Kidigi cradle holds the spare battery vertically, saving some real estate.
Apologies for not posting a link to it. I joined a few years ago when I had a problem with a different phone but haven't posted enough to be permitted to post links yet. Anyone interested can find the cradle I'm referring to by searching for the manufacturer's name, Kidigi.
I still wish the official HTC dock with the MHL adapter-compatibility also had a spare battery charger, though.

I had a near identical one for my Captivate. It charged batteries well, but the USB output really messed with the screen sensitivity. Made it freak out and do things when I didn't even touch the screen. Anyone have a good cradle?
Also are i9100 cradles compatible with our i777 NFC batteries?

The batteries themselves are physically interchangeable, and since the cradle cannot bootloop I'd say yes. I have an extended non-oem battery, which I'm about to buy a i9100 cradle for, and you guys will be the first to know if any problems arise.

Hello. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with external battery chargers for the EVO 3D batteries? I am using the EVO battery in my Sensation so I figured I would ask here.

I have one I got with my Anker battery (looks the same but with white plastic instead of black) and it works great. It's adjustable so you can charge different batteries.

The pins slide sideways to match the battery contacts, and the bottom is spring loaded to hold the battery against the pins. It's acually pretty cool.

That is the charger. These batteries have about 10% to 15% more juice than the OEM Evo 3D battery. Been using them in our 2 Evo 3D's since August with no issues. You should get them pretty quick, they are in Santa Clara.

Do not buy that. I have one. It's utter crap. You have to keep an eye on the battery to ensure it's still charging, and if not.. move the battery around until the charging light stays on. Several others have said the same. (This is tested with multiple batteries.)

No just get another phone with a bigger battery or removable battery. Or buy two DNA's, 2 phones would take up less space. When one phone dies turn the other one on.:silly:

It really doesn't matter which port, I don't believe the DNA uses more than an amp to charge, but you can't damage it by using the 2A port.
This is correct! The phone decides how much charge to pull preventing incorrect chargers from damaging

use the 1 amp. When using car chargers that have 1 and 2 amp choices, my phones have always charged @ 500mah on the 2 amp side but 1 amp on the 1 amp side. I think its to protect the phone. There are battery apps that will tell you how much charge the phone is getting.
http://www.amazon.com/5600mAh-Exter...d=1353451168&sr=8-2&keywords=external+battery
I use the 5600mA version (though only has a charge rate of 500mAh, but the biggest one can even charge a laptop and it goes for less than $45, the smallest one is about the size of two fingers put together and the largest one about the size of a 2nd phone (though probably a bit thicker) and has a 3Ah max charging speed
edit: i was looking at the 10000 mA version and it seems that the astro3E doesn't have the laptop charging, but i found the regular one (astro3) that does have the output for laptops, but is also selling for $60.
What about MintyBoost? I'm planning to make a few. The main feature is that it works with standard AA batteries (or AAA or whatever gives it from 1.5 to 4.5 volts or so, rechargeable or not it's not picky about source) and you can hot-swap them in the field with fresh or even cannibalized ones (you can easily "increase" the amount of power you carry with you without buying another expensive charger by just having a stash of cheap rechargeable AA).
Anyone tried? Any bad things about it?
I just got the EasyAcc 12000mAh one from Amazon for $40 and I highly recommend it. 12,000 mAh so roughly 5 full charges for the DNA. I'd post a link but I'm new.
I've got the Motorola P4000 from VZW. It's nearly perfect. The form factor is exactly what I want...very very thin. It also has a built in MicroUSB cable, which tucks nicely into the lip around the unit. Both of these are features I wanted. It also accepts a USB cable to use a separate cable if you prefer, but the integrated cable is huge to me. It's recognized as a 1A AC charger and charges fast.
There's just one fairly big problem though. If I'm in certain areas, presumably where signal is a bit iffy, it'll kill my signal when I plug it in with the integrated cable. Interestingly it seems not to do that if I use a separate cable -- even if the phone and the charger are in the exact same spot as when I used the integrated cable. So it seems like there may be some kind of interference that isn't being shielded with the built in cable. It's a big issue, but I haven't yet found another device with the form factor, integrated cable, and 1A charging. And in most places, it doesn't happen. I just have to keep an eye on it if I'm using it and expecting a call.
