Finally got one today - Samsung Gear S

I was waiting for Gear S2 but size does not appeal to me, Gear S looked like best choice for me. Saw a good deal on ebay, went ahead and bought it. Watch is fabulous, are there any tips and tricks for new user. I hope samsung keeps supporting this watch for some more time.
Any tip on how not to brake charging cradle?

Hey welcome to the club! ?
I just got mine too last week as birthday gift and it is by far the best watch I've ever owned! As far as the cradle goes, I found it best to try to pull the cradle off downward and not just from the tab on the side. The little clips that hold the cradle to the watch look like they might snap off really easy unfortunately. Good luck!

Don't try and put the charger on while drunk. I've broken 3 already. Best advice I can give you.

Anyone purchased one of these yet? Are they good for the HTC Hero ???
Just bought one mate, got it today and fantastic! Works perfectly. Solid base and use it with the charger plugged in!
Buy one you won't regret it!

Well worth it considering how much the other genuine HTC desktops stands are. I just like the way it sticks! haha
Might order one, it's only £15.00 worth it
Do it you won't regret it.
The stand is metal and looks solid and feels solid.
The green sticky "sanitory style pad" is good too......
Very happy with mine, ordered in the afternoon arrived the next day!
Rich
Ordered one but have to wait till they are back in stock so won't get it delivered till next week now sometime but worth the wait.
im finding getting it sticky again a bit of a pain.
Instructions say just run under water and let dry naturally... hmmm
It's arrived

Review
When it arrived I checked out the packaging and found that it was spot on, instuctions were brilliant. Plenty of information about the product on the box and well designed. I removed the contents from the box and had to cut the tie wraps keeping it in place and found the base is a solid black structure. I peeled back the clear protective film from the stickyness pad and I attached my phone but never had to press on it. When it attached it felt like a magnet but this thing is so sticky its crazy! This little device is very stable, I understand now, how it would hold an ipad!!!
I did some rotating of the device and the ball joint feels very stable, rotates freely with one hand. Very easy to type on! Can't really say much more but if there are any questions feel free to ask.

You recieve it in a nice clean rectangle box with the stand & instructions.

Have u sorted this?
Does anyone know if this has any effect to the finish of the battery door on the hero? I wonder if after a while it may cause it to disintergrate? (But that could be easily sorted by just putting it in a case anyways I guess)

Hey guys, some updates please.
Do you still like it ?

just found this in amazon! Case and USB Keyboard

hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)
Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!
Will give this a try in Amazon.

Oh man, just days after I placed my order on the sloooowwww boat from China (on the other hand it gives me something to look forward to next month besides more snow).

LOL! I hate that snow! See that's the thing, I am a bit skeptical doing online purchases outside US... not that I don't trust them but might as well wait till it's available in US market, plus on top of that is you can track them but I hope u'll get yours on time! Give an update if it works well on you.

Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue
Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.

Did it get any scratches in ur screen? Does it holds the tab ok?
Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!
Any have any experiences working the keyboard on this case?
Wenger case
Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php
Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!

I got mine today, keyboard works okay. Now I can be more productive typing on my G-tab... wish it comes with a mouse though but either way I'm satisfied, the price is okay for this case with a keyboard, USB and a stick.

This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.
-nice material, well made
-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)
-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)
-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)
-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)
-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)
-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)
-included stylus does not work (duh)
all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.
i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. [email protected] newbie mode!

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.
These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.

Amazon case
Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.

Please review my list of accesories for my new Xperia Ultra Z.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

|'ve bought things a few times from Brando and not been let down but not for a couple of years as it's often easiest to buy off ebay. I've not heard bad things about them, so I would be happy to buy off them.

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

Which Qi wireless charger is everyone using?

Just wanted to see what everyone was using. I purchased the TYLT Vu. It's a little expensive bit I wanted one that could charge while being on landscape.
I've got three of those in one of the newer cheaper versions of that call the a6 then another company makes. You'll find it on Amazon. Both of them work perfectly with the g3 in landscape and portrait.
I am using a Nokia "Fatboy" QI charger and it is working great!

No. We don't have a F400.

Typically, they're all the same. With the one you posted, its all plastic shell which gives more real estate for the phone to rest on. Inside is just a coil and PCB board. I think there is a YouTube video of someone opening one of these up.
I opted for a smaller profile (I purchased similar for $1 more). I'll be ordering from this one soon - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2ed4c6f705. And it ships from the US. No long wait time.
But the one you linked to is a great price.

I was looking at those "hockey puck" ones and I like how it would take up less desk space... Found one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UL-Qi-Stand...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item19f0d9b650 ... but I like how the other one seems thinner and I think I would have less of a chance knocking it off than if it was balancing on that puck... I'm not too worried about time since I just ordered one of these qi stickers: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6173009396.html today and will probably have to wait half a month any ways haha

Good point. I just received my "hockey puck". Just in time for me to test out the Qi stickers.
Could of gotten in on my group buy for the stickers. I ordered 100 and should have it next week. Sold out of all of them in a day and they should be mailed out to everyone late next week.
Seems there is still demand for them so I'm about to place another order for 100. BTW, I've been in constant contact with the manufacturer..they've been sold out so it will take some time. But since I'm ordering so much, they'll be able to accommodate my order quicker.
Yeah I saw I missed out, that's ok, I can wait. It didn't say when I was ordering that they were sold out.

Yea, it doesn't say when you order. One thing I don't like is that it takes 1 day to process payment verification, 5 days to process order and another 15-26 days to ship. Luckily with this group buy, no one has to wait that long.
But if you do get that Qi charger, definitely let us know. Great price but to me, its just too big.

I ended up ordering that first one I linked to so I'll report back once I get everything (lol ETA between Aug 15 - Sept 28).
I use the TYLT Vu at work and a Nokia DT-900 at the house... Both work very well
New, stronger, more expensive Qi chargers are coming out this fall: http://www.androidauthority.com/qi-wireless-v1-2-improves-412408/

I really liked the old one that I used for my Note II. I did try to squeeze my Spigen case in there... it technically worked... but too tight for my liking. I ordered a universal one that was supposed to fit 6" phones and had good reviews. Had a coupon as well and got 15% off and free worldwide shipping. I posted about it a few days ago... My biggest concern with this dock is where the pads will meet the phone may be where the power and volume buttons are. The one I ordered has a small but very grippy area, so I can off-set the phone in it to avoid the buttons.
I have one from my Note 3 I'll take some pictures when I go home. Its been collecting dust in my basement for a while I'll let you know how it goes.
I have this dock, it literally just closes round the phone, the only thing is sometime the sides catch the volume rocker
http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/vent-adhesive-combo-mount/ I purchased this one the other day phone fits only paid 15$ with vzw work discount works pretty well so far ..
Will post pics later ..
I haven't been able to find mine yet I've looked through some boxes in my basement but I'm not sure which one its in.
I have the Samsung Univerrsal, It works pretty well overall.

It doesn't do much for the curved back on the phone but other than that it's a good fit.
