This is both a landscape and a portrait dock
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Lol yeah right! If you lay it on its side.... just like every other dock!:D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbpf77:
the side edges, that become the bottom edge when it's on it's side, are angled backwards/inwards... so if you put it on it's side it reclines slightly to give you a decent viewing angle. Not seen any other docks with that design... still, I'll have to have a long hard talk with myself before I allow myself to spend £40 on it!

Anyone know if the sticky universal stands, like the Desk Genie or Desk Magic Smart, work with the textured back and bottom-bump of the S2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Official Charger?

It *looks* like this might also hold the phone in landscape. If you look at the close up of the dock "U" slot, it doesn't appear to directly plug into the phone i.e. a USB connector. If so, then it will probably hold the phone landscape :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mrdo:
am i right in saying that this is just a stand rather than a charger ? it charges a spare battery rather than the phone itself ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Sadly yes.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hermaniii:
Yeah it looks kind of odd but maybe they have thought about the health of the battery?

Not good to have it always 100% so maybe a good solution in a office?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mrdo:
does anyone know if this would trigger the dock mode on the SGS2 ?

is there any other advantage to the official dock over the crappy ones you get on auction sites ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sgupta1:
bump... does anyone know if the cradle's or spare batteries sold on Ebay for about $20-30 will work (i.e. not ruin) the SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
I got two batteries off ebay for about £6 (which I think is $9 monopoly dollars?). Why would they "ruin" the SGS2? I also got one of the slimline, up-right cradles and its been working fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cheetah2k:
Samsung did this with the original SGS. Promised a cradle, released pics, was even in their promotional material, then nothing..

I had one one on order, then it was cancelled as Samsung never released it.

Its sad I know, but I'm betting they do the same with the SGSII
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
Ehem..I have this one already. It is really really good. I was thinking to get another one so I can also put it to my work desk.

I highly recommend this. Good quality (yes it is expensive but quality costs)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] js931:
CandyAndy, do you have the Official Samsung Galaxy S2 Case (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082260) by any chance?

I would like to know if the SGS2 still fits into the docking station with this!?

If you dont have the case, what would you guess? Does the phone sit very tight in the dock or could it fit?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
Sorry I don't have the case. I am guessing that it might not fit there with the case. How much width does it add to the phone? Because currently it is quite tight but there is just a little bit of extra room but not much.

When I get back home I have a closer look.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JohnnyK58:
Hi CandyAndy. Does this stand charge and sync at the same time? any chance you could post some photos of it on here please.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It arrived!

Build quality is as good as something I'd expect to buy from a retail outlet in this country. Certainly not anywhere near the usual eBay made in China stuff you'd expect. GMarket did good with this one so good luck and touch wood to anyone else wanting one and hopefully you do!

Connection is just x1 MicroUSB, when you connect an AC lead it is seen by the phone as an AC source while USB from PC/TV is USB.

It's very small and looks pretty cool. It has rubber feet which pop out to reveal the screws underneath. One of my one's feet were off balance so I switched them all with bigger sticky rubber feet as I prefer those.

It works with and without case (comes with a rubber insert for when you don't have a case). Seems all case types are covered as there's some room left when I use it with the official Samsung vented case.

I was going to erase out the Zenis logo but it's silver in colour and looks fine so will be leaving it on now. I think the picture on Gmarket's website was a bit rubbish is all.

For £15~ it was well worth it!

Some other pics:

And here's the eBay £6 one I got a while back, you can see the plastic quality sdifference :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tids2k:
thats a beautiful keyboard you've got there. kind enough to tell what make and model thanks.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] cheetah2k:
You're joking right... must be induction charging... lolz

In case you forgot, USB plug is in the base of the phone, not in the side.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cheetah2k:
You must be the only one in the world
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kikko2000:
I like it but it doesn't charge the phone, so it is worthless for me:

Keyboard is a Logitech K750 :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 6772Chevy:
No he's not, it is available.

Here's mine:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JohnnyK58:
Hi. Please can you tell us, if it can sync and charge at the same time? Also what are them two buttons on the right of the cradle for? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vulpix:
Hey robbie, do you mind if I quote your review? Credits to you of course!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fyew-jit-tiv:
Hey guys thought i'd show some pic's of the Luxa 2 Cradle.

For give me for the back ground mess keys etc....:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] -Tj-:
What background mess? You should see my desk. lol

Neat stand, not really digging the 'fingers', but it'd probably outlive the phone's usefulness, eh?

So far as the official desktop dock goes, is it weighted? It looks pretty solid and hefty in the videos. I'm guessing there's no room for a case on there, either?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] fyew-jit-tiv:
I should have choose a better background before taking pic's.:o I wasn't feeling the fingers neither but the stand is fully adjustable which is why i got it. you can have the case on phone as the fingers can be expanded to fit all size phones with/without case. I do like the tilt on the stand as it accommodates for all viewing angles. Overall i think its a great stand just got some huge fingers.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ghatothkach:
hi

Is there any cradle/stand which has a MHL->HDMI ?

I want to use the phone for skype calling with my 52" TV.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Better pics of the Zenis :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 6772Chevy:
Just charging, no Sync.

The two buttons on the side are volume up & down.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CekMTL:
This one seems very cool!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carestia:
where i can buy this one? charge and sync?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It only has one USB port so you can can charge and sync over USB when connected to a PC or just charge if connected to an AC power source.

you can't buy it at the moment as GMarket don't have it listed any more and they were the only place that sold it!

Maybe I got lucky but keep your eyes on GMarket!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
if you search for Zenis on gmarket it comes up with some.

its all gibberish to me though and ive not ordered from there but it appears you can buy it still :confused: maybe im getting confused though?

looks like a good dock you have there robbie.

cant wait til my upgrade date so i can get my hands on this phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
It's certainly a nice dock, it sits in smoothly too, no push or pull required to use it, you can easily lift the phone off with one hand, just rest your pinky on the edge and left the phone.

Looks nicer than the official Samsung one too due to its sleeker dimensions.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
it reminds me very much of the iphone dock im currently using.

I like the fact you can use a case aswell! its a pain having to take the cases off everytime it needs charging.

how come the english part of gmarket is still mainly in korean?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
lol no idea, I somehow managed to make the order anyway though!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nyssa1104:
While this is a dock all it's just a dock to form an Acoustic Speaker for the handset..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MistStlkr:
for what it is worth....

Below is a [poorly] Google translated version of the Zenis' order page from Gmarket for those interested. Sorry, not enough posts to link directly apparently. You can't make out what the dropdown box titles are, but if you open each dropdown, the options translated well enough. If you don't trust my link, going to gmarket and search for "zenis galaxy s2" then punching the resulting url into gTranslate did the trick. Ive never heard of Gmarket, is that a reputable enough site? Otherwise there are a few listed on ebay, being shipped from Korea for mor or less the same price. That sure is a smart looking cradle, thanks Robbie!

Kidigi Desktop USB Cradle :)

http://www.tmaddict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=251531#p251531
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MistStlkr:
That's a smart looking one too. I rather like that it comes so far up the back of the phone. It looks like it would be more secure than the Zenis.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MistStlkr:
My Zenis came in, ordered off ebay from a seller in Korea. Looks gorgeous and as mentioned above, the writing/logo is silver not white and does look rather smart. I am using it with a silicone skin over the phone without the extra little insert that comes with the dock and it fits as if it were designed for this. My earlier concern about the cradle not coming high enough up the back seem unfounded. With the skin on the phone there is no wiggle room to work the USB plug loose and wear it out as I had feared.

Absolutely happy with the Zenis Dock and would recommend it to others. I would say the only thing I wish was better would be a spare battery charger like Boxwave offers on their models. I will likely order a boxwave whenever they get their GS2 products to market and keep this as a spare.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] barlou:
Same here, ordered the Zenis from a seller from south Korea. I am using it with the official mesh case and it works fine. The only thing is that since the case doesn't have a bottom, it's not stable on the base (too much empty space there).

What I did was cut the small rubber part that's supposed to be used when there is no case on the phone and keep only the bottom of this part (removed the back and corners). It's perfect now. Great and good looking, even when phone is not docked.

look at breffo it will shape as you want it so it will fit any phone with any case and it will stand where ever.

in the car on a tree on the desk top landscape or whatever.

and it will also fit cameras or tablets and even two phones at once.

btw i have one and it maintain its form once you design it and its very easy to design to your device.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Its very nice but I still want a landscape one :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
That is both a landscape AND portrait cradle...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Really? How does the USB adapter not damage the side of the phone in landscape?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
How do you mean? I have no idea what you're on about there!

Look at the advert pics, there is a phone in landscape, you just place it on as normal.

[General Questions and Answers] frankie253:
ok, I have a rooted Evo 4G running Fresh 4.0 rom, what profile settings should i use in order too make the battery last , or just some other suggestions on maintaining battery life while keeping the phone running smooth.

thanx
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Create a screen off profile & set it to 245/245 max/min with smartass governor or conservative. When I was using SetCPU, I undervolted so that while my screen was on, the max was ~600. For the most part I rarely needed it any higher than that for my usage. However if you want to keep it at 998 or above, you will still benefit from a screen off profile.

I only run AOSP, so Sense may need more juice with the screen on.
[General Questions and Answers] frankie253:
Awesome, ill give this a shot, thank you much

[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
That happens sometimes and you have to do it manually by going into system apps and remove it. Reason, I am not sure.
[Xperia Arc General] sjh4:
thanks, sorted it be reinstalling from marketplace then uninstalling again with titanium, after reboot its successfully gone

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wmi543:
I'm not responsible to any damage which is caused by applying any modification listed below to your phone.

Backup

If you made mistake to this file, you phone will not boot in gui, so you should always backup the file before you make any change to it. Just use any file manager to copy the file to your sd card or your pc.

Restore

If you have a Linux machine you can mount the /system partition while plugging in with the purple screen (vol up + vol down + power).

Easiest way: get Ubuntu, put your phone in purple screen, plug in with USB, you will see the system partition at your Ubuntu desktop.

The hard way: if the /system partition is no accessible under purple screen mode (such as in the latest 528 rom), you can use adb push the backup file back, search the web for details about how to use adb.

I'm digging the build.prop, some apps can do some of these tweaks for you, but I prefer typing myself. You need to reboot the phone to take effect.

1. windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=75

add this new line to make UI more responsive, the bigger the value the more responsive, I've tried 90, too fast, fall back to 75, still quite fast

2. ro.config.hw_menu_unlockscreen=false

change value from "false" to "true" to enable menu key unlocking screen

3. ro.sf.lcd_density=240

change to 225 to increase the resolution of display, as a result, the size of icon on home page and fonts of list (of file manager or contact) become smaller, the smaller the value the smaller size of icon and fonts

4. dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m

increase the value to 32m~48m to increase stability and performance, tested but doesn't see much effect so far

On restart it hangs on boot screen (huawei name and logo) I have to remove the battery to switch off. tried connecting to the PC to restore build.prop but it doesnt load the phone memory. Only launches the mobile partner autostart. Also tried updating by adding update.zip to sd card but says signature verification failed. Tried lading general update from huaweidevice.com onto dload directory on sd card, Just shows purple screen on booting with power, vol up and down. Please advice.

80 is too much. For me the best settings are:

- speaker 75 (default)

- Headphones 70 (higher values ​​will cause the overload of sound)

With this setup is really cool :).

Swype

The original ROM is installed Swype keyboard, but not in the Polish language. It is not possible to uninstall Swype and you can not install a new keyboard. Despite the ROOT system does not allow the removal of the keyboard ("cust/hw/ideos_x5/app / "). Does anyone know how to remove the keyboard, or where to replace your dictionary?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
I just opened the file, but there's no "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" in it, i found the rest (2-4), does someone know why?

Edit: after applying the B160 ROM, i found this line, works great :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
I Read somewhere that by adding

debug.sf.hw

is how the OS renders the UI (hw=0) Uses the CPU to render the UI and (hw=1) Uses the GPU to render.

I Haven't found that value in my build.prop

does anyone have any further info? :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
I added debug.sf.hw=1 to my build.prop but it doesn't seem any different than before. Then I changed to 0, and the interface is SIGNIFICANTLY slower. The default is already 1 by the look.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
it depends on which ROM you are using, find the rom you use and then the build.prop file in it, im pretty sure it's there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ioucorsa:
but when you change something in build.prop by itself makes the last (before the changes i mean) build.prop.bak so you must have your backup in the same folder beneath the file build.prop you saved
