Hey Guys,

I got the unit in the mail when I got home from work (30 minutes ago).

So far everything looks

GREAT!

I am running temperature and charging tests now, but the new coil position looks perfect, and I'm getting as much or possibly more current out of the OWL charger than I was getting out of the Nokia.

Tonight I should have pictures and screen shots available from my early tests, but I have to say that everything looks great so far.

I also want to add that the level of customer service and responsiveness from Moon at OWL charging was

incredible

. If I got service half as good from the companies I do business with in the US I would be amazed, and these folks are having to deal with me from the other side of the world. I have absolutely no ties with their company, and hadn't even spoken to them to ask if the charger worked for my phone before I ordered, but they went above and beyond any expectations in getting this charger working.

Once I have a few hours charging I can fill in the remaining details (temperatures, approximate charge time, etc), but right now I would say the newest version is a huge success!

I forgot to mention, the +300 mah charging rate was with the screen locked on, LTE, GPS, Navigation, and Pandora all running.

[HTC Droid DNA] bigjew92:
awesome! thanks for the feedback and being a Guinea pig for us all... i really appreciate it. so to make sure, you are now using the carpad/N2 right? if so, i'm gunna go ahead and place my order. :)

Thanks again
[HTC Droid DNA] breeze94:
Thanks! Placed my order. I'm willing to give it a shot at this point!

I am guessing this is the new model, but you might want to shoot Moon an email to make sure.

Quick videos to show the Owl CarPad

So far everything works great and I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a Qi type device!

How are things working now that you've had it for a while longer?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Am I reading the test results properly?? (I think I am). 1% charge per 30 minutes????
[HTC Droid DNA] bmyton:
I've been using it for a while now for commuting 30 minutes to work and I am still happy with it. With the adjusted coil position I seem to get equal performance from the CarPad and my Noka desktop Qi charger.

Spring is starting so we'll see how the heat does with Qi... I can tell you from the desktop Nokia charger that when these get hot they quit charging, so hopefully it can keep up with a summer day in the car.

Regarding the charging rate, that will depend a lot on what you're doing. Plan on any Qi device giving you about 1/2 of the charging power of a standard USB plug, and probably 1/4 of the charging power of the rapid charge on some of the newer CPUs.

For me, that's a non issue. I want it to maintain charge while I'm in the car using navigation, and I want it to be able to charge my phone while I sleep (6-7 hours).

At the end of the day it is a fairly well made car dock that fits the DNA perfectly. I have hated every one of the Clamp Down style car mounts that I've tried, but this one just works perfectly.

I picked up a new dash mount so I could suction straight to the dash: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077B9K2E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It snaps right onto the back of the CarPad and works great in both of my cars.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
Just received mine in the mail a little less than an hour ago.

I obviously haven't had time to benchmark charging performance yet. Here is my initial impression of the Owl Car Pad as well as some pictures.

I really love the ease of setup, my phone fits snugly into the dock without any issues. However, it will not accommodate a case. I didn't expect to be able to fit my Outerbox Commuter case in there anyway but it won't fit the slim cases either. This was never an issue or requirement for myself.

The dock is well made, all the edges are smooth and don't appear to scratch the phone even through repeated use.

[HTC Droid DNA] breeze94:
I just received mine as well, I have no problem putting the phone in the dock with a case. I just have a cheap amazon TPU case but it fits pretty well. The dock seems to have a pretty good amount of flex to accept a wide variety sizes.
[HTC Droid DNA] beddachedda:
Got it today as well :)

Fits quite well with the Diztronic TPU case, will get it charging on my commute home.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Can someone stream music from Google Play over 4G and run GPS on their way to work with this? I'm debating on picking it up, and I want to see if the charge would even be sufficient.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
It does flex to fit with the thinner case on, but I'm reluctant to try with the outerbox case though.

[HTC Droid DNA] beddachedda:
So on the commute today it was randomly dropping connection with the phone - I would turn it on and off on the pad and it restored. Weird. Might just go naked if it has better connection.

Side note, the desk pad that came with it doesn't work with the Diztronic TPU case on. Works naked though.
[HTC Droid DNA] breeze94:
I didn't quite complete this exact test for you but I played music over blutooth from the phone storage and ran navigation with several route recalculations because I only put in my final destination, not a couple of interim stops I needed to make. Ran about 45 minutes with screen on and went from 90% to 91% battery.

Turned off screen and navigation, still playing music over Blutooth. about 40 minutes back home and went from 91% to 96%. I think it might register full charge at that point and shut off the carpad. I didn't notice how far into that 40 minutes it stopped charging.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
That's a pretty good test still since you've got it running over Bluetooth. I'm glad to hear that the charge actually goes up.

Thanks for keeping track of that!
[HTC Droid DNA] beddachedda:
Ordered the DNA version but I think I was sent the regular one. It has to be bumped a bit up in order to initiate charge without a case on.
[HTC Droid DNA] bmyton:
Mine tends to shut off once the phone reads 95-97%, and then cuts back on once it drops to 90% or so.

Today at lunch I took a 35 minute drive around town. I Ran:

4gLTE

WiFi on but just searching

Navigation with a random destination so it recalculated at most intersections

Google Music (high quality)

BlueTooth connected to Ford but Audio playing through phone's speaker

Screen locked on with brightness at ~70%.

Car clipped in direct sunlight in the windshield

Starting Battery 54%

Ending Battery 57%

Phone estimated peak charging of 12% per hour

Peak temperature 50°C

I'm still happy with the car pad myself, hope this helps you guys make your decisions.

[HTC Droid DNA] preilly44:
Jealous!

I'm jealous! I just received the new version and it is still losing power. I have wifi on but not connected, Google Nav, bluetooth connected and full brightness and over a 30 minute trip I lost 4%. I wasn't streaming music or anything else.

With that being said, customer service has been top notch.

Turn off Wi-Fi
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Without sounding ungrateful..what is the advantage to having a wire run to this dock, only to have it not charge or barely charge, when you could just run a wire to the phone instead and have it charge proper? I just don't get it.
[HTC Droid DNA] beddachedda:
In all honesty, I really like the way that it holds the phone, but yes, the charging is sub par.

I've disconnected the charging aspect of the dock and run a wire - but still use the cradle as I really like how it fits.
[HTC Droid DNA] breeze94:
Nothing for you to get, the product might not be a good match for you. If wireless charging isn't of value to you then this product isn't for you. I, like the previous poster, really like the cradle itself. Best one I've had yet.

As far as charging, I don't find it to be sub-par at all. I've had plug in chargers that if I loaded up the phone like some of the tests here wouldn't have much of a charge rate. In my real life usage I get an excellent charge. I don't drive around with max brightness, GPS and bluetooth, wireless and streaming music all on. If that is your normal usage then this product probably isn't for you.

Not having to wire means I'm charging every time in and out of my car. Yes there is a wire to the cradle but I don't have to plug and unplug that wire each time I want to pull my phone off the cradle.

At my desk at work, I drop it on the owl pad when I would have otherwise just set it on my desk. I never even think of battery life anymore. For me its a great product, for others like yourself, maybe not.
[HTC Droid DNA] ukrainetrain:
Got mine a week ago...

I originally ordered the Carpad about a month ago(the one for the Nexus 4) hoping it work with my DNA. However as we all later found out the coil position was a little low. I contacted Moon at Owl and he took care of everything! He let me know that he'd send me the Carpad N2 as soon as it was ready. Overall I'm very happy with the product and the service.

As far as what I think of the Carpad N2...I think it's awesome! With the DNA docked and screen turned off I average 7-9% of charge every 30 minutes. If I'm streaming music through bluetooth in the car it gains about 2-3% in 30 minutes. The mount is built well and the DNA fits perfectly in it. Maybe I'm biased but I prefer Korean quality over Chinese.

To be fair you probably could get the same or slightly better performance from a regular plug in charger but to me the convenience of Qi charging makes it completely worth it. One of the main reasons I got the DNA was because of the Qi charging. I'm not a big fan of MicroUSB plugs, especially ones that have a flap cover like the one on the DNA.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Also...my Carpad shuts off if the phone is 95%+ charged as well. It's a built in feature of the dock to turn off once the phone is fully charged. Obviously 95% is not 100% but so far this is the only flaw I've found with this product.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
That isn't a flaw, that is to protect your battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually the phone disconnecting the qi link to protect the battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] preilly44:
Maybe mine is defective but I've tested it and it actually discharges faster when it is on the car dock (latest version) than when it is. I have it sitting in my glove box just sitting there because it doesn't work.
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
My Nokia DT-900 charges the phone to 100%.
[HTC Droid DNA] rolltidewall:
Just ordered one. I love the idea of killing that extra cord.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
What cord will this be killing?
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
I assume he means the one you attach to the phone when you charge it? Alright, I understand your point to an extent. But it does replace a loose wire you have to find and connect each time with a permanent connection that can be neatly concealed. Plus, IF it works well, it's just cool.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Hmm. Solar to qi would be cool. Its a windshield mount after all.
[HTC Droid DNA] UltraMagnus0001:
I like the way my droid3 mounted in the car. The plug just slid right into the mini usb on the dock, that's it. The mini usb had an audio output at the power connector end that all went through one wire, no crappy bluetooth audio.The lighter plug was 1amp, no slow charging. If you're on a long trip with a low amperage charger, using gps, screen is all the way up, playing music and have hotspot on, you can actually drain the battery while charging! Why don't we have proper dock with an aux audio out through the usb for our DNA? I'm tempted to make one with the desk dock.
[HTC Droid DNA] rolltidewall:
Just got mine in the mail. I think it's defective, or I received the wrong one. Is this similar to anyone else's experience? Using the AC home plug, with no phone plugged in, the LED is green. As soon as I dock my phone, it starts blinking red. The phone does not say it is charging at this point.

Does anybody else have this happen? Just wanted to know before I contacted Owl.
[HTC Droid DNA] bmyton:
Using the Nexus4 version of the charger on the DNA will give you this type of error. It sounds like you received the wrong item, let Owl know and I'm sure he'll fix the problem for you.

I suppose each person has different expectations, but personally I hate the non-isolated static I get when using a car charger and a hard connection to the stereo. Bluetooth corrects this for me, although the USB audio signal may not have the isolation problem. I know there are line filters that could fix this as well.

Also, I know I would not want to continually have to flip open and closed the USB cover door on my phone. I like that it is there to keep me from building up a layer of pocket grime, and wouldn't want to just cut it off.

If you don't mind dealing with the USB cord then you could go with any number of options:

[HTC Droid DNA] bigjew92:
how long after you placed your order did it arrive? i'm anxiously waiting for mine. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] rolltidewall:
about 2 weeks. Once I got the email saying he shipped it, it took a week to ship. Not too bad.
[HTC Droid DNA] bmyton:
I've spent some time thinking about wiring up a solar option for this car dock, and would probably pick up http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-22007-Coleman-Folding-Panel/dp/B007JU9K32/ref=cm_cmu_pg_t if I do.

The problem I see is that you are compounding the inefficiencies of the Qi interface with the inefficiencies of solar.

If you do give it a shot you should let us know, I would love to hear if it works.

-Ben
[HTC Droid DNA] UltraMagnus0001:
I already contacted iBolt about that charger, it's not compatible with the DNA. No one makes an AUX out dock for the DNA. The wiring in my 01 GTi has no ground loop noises or ignition noises leaking into the audio, so that's not a problem for me. I use an adapter that turns my CD Changer to an AUX in for the stereo. I can't stand the audio of bluetooth, it sounds like 128 bitrate mp3s. One of the reason I chose the DNA was the high current output from the built in headphone amplifier, so i guess I'll put it to good use as an AUX out. Combine the DNA with Jetaudio player, Velodynes in ear headphones and you're in audio heaven. I just ripped my micro USB cover off mine and never had a problem with my previous phones not having USB covers, even though I never use cases and just shove it in my pocket.
[HTC Droid DNA] rolltidewall:
After a few e-mails, Moon is sending a new CarPad. I will say, I do like the actual phone cradle better than than my Arkon. It's one hand in and out, quick and easy.

One improvement I would recommend is that it would be powered by Micro USB instead of a seperate plug. I understand though, the voltage is completely different.
[HTC Droid DNA] rolltidewall:
Just got my replacement OwlPad.. It charges, but is seemingly having issues connecting. If I unplug the DC power and plug it in, in connects. So far it's an everytime thing. Any thoughts? I'm weary to contact Moon again. I'm getting the same results on 2 DNAs.

UPDATE:

In my vehicle, have two DC plugs, one that is hooked up to ignition, the other to battery (always on). If it is on the battery powered port, then it works everytime, no problems.

Please any one can help me?

I have a Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-i9100G. I installed Android 4.2.1 via Odin. it worked fine, then i rooted it and also went fine.

My problem started when I tried to install GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 via odin. it seemed that it fionished ok. but after the reboot. the device stack in Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I900G, and I can't get to recovery mode nor the download mode using the key combination. it is just turning off and then stuck in the same splash screen.

Is that means my phone damaged??

can anyone please help me ????

Sometimes the screen well be black but your I download mode. I'm not at my computer but someone link or explain proper way do get in to download. Make sure pull battery before try download mode.

For your sake i hope you didn't have format partition selected. Just search download mode lot's times you don't do it perfectly rest time it worked but you can't see it i.e black screen. I had that happen thought i hard bricked.did it same way you did i installed wrong recovery.took two days figure out i was doing download mode wrong plus screen remained back.so don't freak out yet. Try everything and take your time lots people rush and turn a soft brick into a hard brick

Thank you so much for your reply, I appropriated that. I am still stuck there, could you please send me that link telling how to proper get in download mode??

Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melsayeh:
Finally,I got rid of it. I don't know how exactly it is done, but anyway, I removed the battery for about 5 hours (Don't know if that makes sense), then I was able to get in the recovery mode only. I selected to wipe cache and then to factory reset but it didn't work. but after it rebooted I was able to get in the DOWNLOAD mode so easily. That's it, I just connected to the PC, then opened Odin, selected the official JB ROM, started to flash and .. VOALAA ... it works

Ok, I'm praying that someone can help me with a solution to this problem.

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that has a fantastically cracked LCD & Digitizer. It's so bad that the screen doesn't even turn on anymore. Maybe the ribbon cable is disconnected when I slammed the phone down on the counter thus cracking the screen. Who knows but I don't really want to tear it apart to find out.

Anyway the phone was rooted and running:

Juggernaut_50_0218

Blaze_4G_LB7

Sadly there is a pattern lock and I can't see the dumb screen to unlock it or do anything period. I know the phone works because I put the battery in and turn on the phone and I see all the touch buttons at the bottom light up.

Now, Kies doesn't even recognize the rooted device and I need to get my stuff off. Yes I know, I should've backed everything up but let's just say it was a hard learned lesson.

I know someone must've been able to get their files off their device that was in a similar situation. :crying:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Xyberz:
I'm not sure but I'm assuming it was since the phone was rooted with a custom rom. It's been a little while since I've seen this phone on.

Don't know how to use ADB pull command and what software to do it with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ackliph:
I'm not by my computer now, but I'll try to steer you in the right direction. Adb.exe should be on your computer somewhere. If not, do a google search. Usually you can find adb.exe and fastboot.exe packaged together. You'll then want to use adb to pull your files. Open up a command prompt. Change to the directory that has adb.exe. then type "adb pull /data \data" you can also try "adb pull /sdcard \sdcard"

You can also try the adb pull command after you boot into recovery mode. Play with it. I bet you can do it.
