I remember reading about these on gizmodo or engadget or something. They announced them then disappeared for a year or so, then released them. IIRC, the reviews were poor because they do not fit in a standard sized electrical box that most outlets have, but instead require one that is slightly bigger. Unless the contractor that wired your house had exceptional foresight, count on knocking a rather large hole in the wall to pull out the old box and install a larger one.

Yeah, this was an issue for me. I bought one only to find out it wouldn't fit in any of the electrical boxes in my room. Definitely something to consider.
Another issue to consider is if you have wall warts (the plugs that are big black boxes), those will block the USB ports.
I do remember the manufacturer following up on one of the reviews saying it was looking into making a small more compatible version. I don't know if anything came out of that. Anybody know?

Only your comment has nothing to with the Evo. A USB wall receptacle is pretty useful to anyone with USB devices, including the Evo.

Wall worts with usb built in would be useful as well. No installation needed.

Thats actually a pretty good idea. I'd hate wall warts a lot less if they did this.
The closest I have seen to this is a nightlight that has a USB port.

Isn't there a like a wireless mat charger?

A USB wall outlet would be very easy to make yourself if you had any basic soldering skills (and electrical knowledge, of course).

or you could just plug it in to your pc lol

You can get something like that on eBay for a couples of $$, shipped trough your door.
You can also take a look at my topic about Microphone recording in the accesorie section, you might get some idea

You get that for 2$ in my country.

Ok guys so i understand that its all this possible in your countries but not for example in czech republik... cables are very hard to find to buy and they are very expensive... for example about 30E and also here isnt something like ebay delivery and nokia cables are short... so please take this topic as manual for people that dont have for this moment any other options or have at home theirs old cables for videorecorders or anything else... thanx a lot

Typical. A guy develops something and gets these kinds of remarks.
The questions on why or costs are irrelevant. A developer creates or adjusts something because he can. There is no relevance needed.
Kudos to the OP.

good effort op, but seriously, wouldnt be this way easier? shipping to cz is free and the cable is about 40kc

absolutely agree with u "sousede" but when u need a longer one?
I dont want to sit 1m from tv and also there is waiting until it comes to u by post service... u know im not glad when i must waiting for something and this u can buy anywhere and anytime u want... but still agree with u when somebody wants original cable

Totally agree, people can develop and create anything they want, this is the fun part of it. What is more, thats reverse engineering or whatever it is called and the is great!
Well done!, any of you that make art out of a cable!

Thank you. I wasnt aware of the pinouts.

A couple of hours ago The official Samsung Twitter account posted a tweet “ tgeltaayehxnx,” which is a Countdown for the Next Galaxy. Samsung has also registered a domain name http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com/ that claims to reveal something in the next 6 hours. Discover how Samsung is about to challenge the way you view the GALAXY once more .
http://www.icsforums.com/forum/showthread/6502

Im confused, iv read from multiple sources this is either a new GALAXY or a new software update..
Im hoping for a new Galaxy as my SGSII has recently become boring.. need some fresh meat to get my hands on..
Guess we have to patiently wait..

Cannot wait! Perfect timing with my galaxy SII plan running out.

A part of my mind says that its fake while the other thinks the opposite lol ...cant wait for the next galaxy ...SII served me well i hope that the next does the same

It seems to be true as the domain is registered by reputed marketing agency The Upper Storey from Singapore

I think this is a way to see how many people from each country is interested in the SGS3 so they will know how many Galaxys to deliver to each country +-?

technical data of s3 seems pretty nice, but it will run with TouchWiz anyway :/

I don't expect to get much out of this countdown. If it's a GS3 teaser as the rumors say, then i will refer to GS2 teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FNKe6pPBnc
I bet that all Samsung will deliver and expect to get out of todays teaser is hype and excitements.
It won't effect me though, since i can't get anymore hyped or exited

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen magically cracks..

The most "wonderful" thing happened today.
Here's the story:
I bought my Nexus 7 tablet a few months ago. I love this tablet, it's by far the best I've used. Today, I placed my tablet on my table after using it, and turned on some music on my laptop and danced around. It did not fall, didn't fly off, or run and fall down (what?). It was there the ENTIRE time. I then went back after a snack, turned off my music and decided to watch something on Netflix in bed. But one thing alarmed me. The bottom portion (equal to where the camera is on the top) had a gross crack, which extended in three sections to about the bottom half of the screen.
What. The. Heck. ??? Was what I promptly said as I stared at the crack. Now normally I'd shake it off and say "If I can use it, it's fine." HOWEVER, I can use the upper portion and some of the middle, I CANNOT use the bottom half. What does that mean? WELL guess what. It means I can't press the home, back, or other button. So I basically can't use it. Not a good idea after all, is it? I also can't type some letters. If it was in the toppish, I'd be fine with it. But this is ridiculous.
Funny, this happened before with a certain Dell laptop. Closed it. Placed on table after going upstairs. Lifted screen. Huge black gash on it.
Amusing on how cheap products are these days. For paying $199 I wasn't expecting pure gold, but this? Is it THAT sensitive? Please.. what kind of luck do I have.
Now to where I need help. What can I do now?? I sold my cracked laptop for $150, got a $50 from my Dad, and now it just CRACKS. And he woulldn't believe me after the other laptop. Now let me do say I take great care of my things. My phone has no cracks, or dents, or scratches and I've had it even longer. Is it possible to fix it? Please help. why me.. Is there some way I could move where the 3 buttons are? ugh.

You could buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. As long you can see the screen to click on things. You can pickup a OTG cable for couple dollars on amazon or eBay.
If you bought the tablet from Google store. Try contacting them about trying to get it fixed. If you bought it else where you would have to contact Asus about it.

The one the OP linked has an official Qi logo on it, which is supposed to mean it's certified. The one you linked doesn't, which usually implies it's not certified. Pretty big difference there (even though our pre-rev12 Nexus 4 phones aren't certified).

Except in the description it says it's qi certified. And the logo does nothing for qi certification and it's absence doesn't mean anything since one of the best wireless chargers, the wcp-700, doesn't have the logo. I'm sure it's against copyrights or whatever to use the logo without certification, but every certified device clearly doesn't need to use to logo. But the guy simply said that the fast tech chargers looked nothing like the one in the OP, and it's pretty obvious the one I linked to is basically identical except for the logo

Has anyone tested that $40 one (http://www.fasttech.com/products/1215400) with the Nex4 and can confirm it works with the bumper case?
This $40 one is USB powered and output 0.7 A vs. 1 A for the other $36 one (http://www.fasttech.com/products/1142301), i wonder if it has any impact on charging time and capabilities and if it has an issue with topping up the battery?
