phone magnetic? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

My gf put her s9 on my magnetic mount in my car and it stuck I heard that it's stick to the wireless charging coil will this hurt the phone if she uses it like that?

Don't know the answer to your question BUT I will add that an official Samsung video (focused on enterprise features of the phone) leaked right before launch briefly showed an S9 being attached to what appeared to be a magnetic car mount. There was some speculation that the S9 had this built in as a feature but I couldn't find anything that corroborated that. Hate those damn things you need to apply to your phone for magnetic mounts to work, perhaps Samsung solved this?
Here is the video

I am interested in a magnetic mount for my s9.
Which one do you have? Do you recommand it? Do you think it will also work on a s9 with a non-magnetic case?

I just bought a cheap one from a discount store is a vent mount not really any specific name brand works well for my s9 not at all on my s9+ to heavy and you don't need a magnetic case the phone itself will stick to It

in car holder

hi, can you tell me , witch car holder is the best?
I need passive - non charging kit.
Brodit every time. I've just ordered my third, the previous two were for a Nokia E51 and HTC Touch HD. I've just upgraded to the HTC Touch Pro II hence the new order.
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/
I agree - although they don't make an attachment for the dash of my new car.
Gutted - might sell it lol
Wow, nice. They make one for my Subaru Forester.
The best i know is Brodit. If u change youre Phone, u can keep the "proClip" and u´ve only to change the holder for ure Phone.
Online bye on brodit:
29,99€ = 43$
Brodit is one of the best!
I use magnetic car holder. It requires some effort before it works properly but once it's done - I wouldn't switch it for anything else.

I'm going to have to fashion my own dock, I want to use the USB splitter so I can hook up audio to my cassette adapter as well as power. If I get serious about it I'll start a thread

yeah But a bit more elegant. I was thinking of building the plug right into the holder so the phone would slide in and plug like a desk dock.
Has anybody seen a Sprint compatible version with the 3.5mm jack?

[Q] Car mount with fixed USB charger HELP

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a car dock for my Nexus 6 similar to the pro clip or this fix2car mount http://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/f...on-mount-dash-mount-with-usb-car-charger.html[1]
Basically my criteria are that I want to be able to take the phone in and out of the mount without having to attach the USB cable after. I want the USB cable to be fixed and the phone simply slides in to it.
The pro clip would cost me 150$+ and the fix2car one I linked would run me close to 70$. I'm looking for something about half that price.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks
0 replies on XDA and on reddit, something tells me i'm about to drop a hundred bucks on a car mount... AGAIN!
PSA to anyone thinking about it: DO NOT get the airdock 2, it's a piece of poop and the phone falls off constantly.
If you must have the fixed plug, you could hack one in place with some JB Weld. A lot of guys did just that back in the "old" days.
Or suguru, that stuff works great for something like this. BTW, my airdock works great.

If you would like to charge your phone in a car dock without having to attach USB each time why don't you get the QI charging dock? It is about $35-$40 here in US, probably about same in UK. And will work with non-bulky case.

welllllllll the reason why im trying to avoid a QI charging dock (which btw is not a make or model but the technology, can you specify which model you're referring to?) is because i bought this neato quick charge usb lighter thingy and i'd like to be able to use quick charge..... wireless QI charging is pretty slow and when having the screen on, and steaming music, and using maps for nav, it doesn't actually gain any charge!

Well, I am doing the same, streaming and navigating, with Nexus 6 in the dock, using 2.1A USB lighter thingy and it charges.
I am also aware QI is a technology and not a model. There are quite few of those. I am using this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4H1R1M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01

the problem is that QI will bottleneck your charging. using a quickcharge usb lighter thing will work via a cable but not through QI!
QI will support up to 15 watts of charging in the future, it was actually announced like a couple of weeks ago or something, so future models will support quick charging
I have quick charger at work and at home. In the car I need the dock I can use with minimum effort and without connecting/disconnecting USB frequently

Curious to know if you got the holder yet?
From the pictures on the site, it appears that one of the claws on the top lands directly on the power and/or volume buttons.
Would like to know if it interferes with proper operation?

it can if you have it completely tightened down, but you would not be able to pull the phone in and out if it was tightened down. the way i have it now is the clamp holds on to the lip of the phone but not so tightly that I can't easily put the phone in and out of the dock. The clamp does not press on the buttons, this way.

S7's Gear VR on S8-S8+

Hello to everyone.
I m wonder if S8-S8+ are working with s7's Gear vr? About size i think it will be ok but what happend with lens? It will be compatible or not? Can anyone has an answer?
Thank you!
Wont work because the usb plug is different.
I think the newer s7 vr headsets came with the changeable plug you can use micro is or swap to the type c.

Ah you're right, then it should work assuming that's what the op has.

S8 maybe but the s8 plus won't fit in the older vr.....i think lol
Can anyone confirm if Gear VR 2016 (V2) works fine with S8? Mine came without the USB Type-C plug, but I'm planning to buy it separately.

And you're getting dash charge lighting symbol on a oneplus 5? The last unit I got didn't enable dash on the five and only supported the OP3

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!

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.
