Looks like this is it: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Battery-Charging/dp/B0090X2OJS
Two problems with it, it wont work if you have a case on your phone & is comes with a "US Charger".

Hmm. Yup there are other charger docks without the side walls.
But if it comes with the spare battery it's quite cheap. You can always email them to confirm I guess.
Already have a spare battery otherwise I would've bought this. BTW spare batteries and docks (generic) are like 5-10 USD on dx if you're prepared to wait

Really?
Damn those reviews are disappointing. Was about to grab that Groupon deal. The generic battery has a short life, the dock never fully charges the battery slot and the dock itself can stop working after a month or two.

Yes. Samsung just never released the wireless charger and adapter that was promised at launch.

Wantitall imports a kit,... But at that price, I'd rather use a cable. lol

Just bought the exact same thing for 32USD incl delivery, so less than R300.

Anyone on 4.1.2 yet?

I am, and a few times I came close to going back to 4.1.1, but what's the use in going backwards?

Which network are on? Major problems?

Vodacom. No problems, just little things that have changed for the worse. One example is when I take a photo and want to share it, right next to the share icon the icon of the application used most often (in this case WhatsApp) would be, so you can just click it and it will send the image to WhatsApp. That has now been replaced with a trashcan for deleting the image, and a star icon has been put there, for god knows what reason.
When I open a picture in Opera Mini, I cannot directly share it. I must first save it, go to the gallery and share it from there. WHY WHY take away little things like that
And the improvements? bah. MultiWindow? Who the fukc ever uses that? And it only works with certain apps.

Interesting, thanks.
Strangely mine tells me that the latest updates have already been installed.

If you go a few pages back, there will be the link where I downloaded it and flashed it with Odin.

VodaCom has released 4.1.2? MTN still reporting that 4.1.1 is the latest.

Downloaded from Sammobile.
I was affected by this. Phone is at Smartlab with Samsung refusing to fix this factory defect under 'warranty' because the phone was bought (legitimately, reflects under manufacturer warranty on Smartlab systems) in Thailand.
They want to charge about R2500 for a mainboard and labour for a phone that completely died after 8 days of use (not even 6 months) - lets not forget as a result of a FACTORY DEFECT; one which should have been dealt with by a worldwide recall of affected sub-models.
What a disgrace!
