Does anyone know anything about a Desktop Dock which is not sold bei google because importing it to europe is 50$ + 30$ shipping + 19% Vat
it's like with a car kit which i bought for 14€ here and not for an overall of 70$ incl. import
so does anyone know a release date of a desktop dock which uses the dock ports and NOT the micro usb?

AFAIK the *only* dock that uses the dock pins is the official google dock - other 3rd party docks are rehashes of the micro USB form sized to fit the N1.

I wish to use a standard earphone (other than that bundled by HTC) with 3.5 mm stereo pin. But the problem is that HTC accessories are not readily available in India. Now what I thought is, can we not make a homemade adapter by cutting a mini USB cable and connecting / soldering it with a standard 3.5mm stereo adapter. In that case the microphone of course will not work. I have read at HTC site that the mini USB of HTC vox (may be all other phones of HTC) is a propreitory 11 pin connector. So can a standard mini USB cable be satisfactorily used ?
Anybody has any idea ?
This is what I use with my VOX

it works perfect, and I got it delivered to my home in India.
but I dont use it anymore cause I have got the new Jabra BT3030 bluetooth stereo headset which is so perfect.
Thanks Prajith. I am thinking of buying one.
Also ebay
Do a search on ebay for "USB audio adapter for HTC Vox". They are very cheap.
JK
BUY IT from XDA DEVELOPERS STORE
Its available in the store.xda-developers.com
http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=1859

@naidu001
you can get two of the connectors I mentioned in that price.
and hey it can be used for charging too, which the connector you mentioned cannot.
Rightly said Prajith your conector has boyh USB mini and 3.5 jack. Actually I purchased a few things from another site where postage was further cheap at $3 per item. But it seems that cost of the items are cheaper at the link shown by Prajith.
Anyway I am searching for an adapter with miniUSB, 3.5 earphone jack and microphone too for answering calls. I know this will be avaialable but the shipping costs are main.
@parthabhatta
talk to some of the other windows mobile users near place and buy this together. That way shipping cost becomes very less and they may offer a discount also. I had bought 30 of those, now I have only one and that too I dont need.
I would seriously suggest that you try a bluetooth stereo headset, you would never again use a wired headset. Ever!
Let me know if any of you folks have bought this miniusb to 3.5 mm audio jack converter for Vox from xda store. How easy is to order one from there?
I live in Bangalore. Is there any one knows which is the right place here to find it?

I ordered it from brando shopping. I don't remember the price paid but they have a standard 3 $ per item charge for shipping anywhere. The item will reach you within a fortnight maximum.
The url is probably shop.brando.com.hk or google with brando shop and you will find the exact address. No extra customs duty etc has to be paid.
Thanks PrabhatBhatta,
i went to Bangalore's National Market and tried a few adaptors, none could really work actually. Then i tried a final one which is the same as seidio one, which worked atlast for me. I bargained it for Rs160.
I think the google desktop dock is way to expensive, as i only need it as a charger and have no need for the A2DP function.
But all the cheap dock's on ebay uses the USB connection and not the dock pins, has anybody found a cheap dock that has dock pins connection?
It's much more convenient to be able to just drop the phone in a dock instead of needing to connect the phone to a dock, and be able to use the dock mode is a plus when you use it as an alarm clock.
I was wondering the same thing, is it that hard to reproduce that? I havnt seen anything besides the usb ones either and i have heard it can screw up the usb connection of n1s so didnt want to buy one of those
Exactly the same thoughts here
does anyone have specs of which pins do what? (i.e. do you apply +5 v to pin 1, ground to pin2, etc)
i've got some ideas on a homebrew dock.

Search for the thread: "Dock Pinout"
It seams that it alot harder, that there is a binary communication in one of the pins, not just a current that tells it to go into dock mode...
Doh! delete my post haha.
Just bought an original Nexus One Desktop Dock brand new from Ebay for $15.00 . The seller has 49 more available. It arrived today and it's all original with sealed packaging. Just throwing it out there if anyone is interested.

Too bad it isn't shipped for free outside the US. Shipping costs are more than half of the costs of the dock itself :silly:

brought last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/330770220824?item=330770220824
Dock US $15.00
Shipping US $8.46 (Germany)
Thats €18,65 (a new one costs 60€ at launch day ..)
I bought the dock when I first got the nexus one. If you guys get one for cheap and want to continue using the Nexus One, go for it. I mean the phone does slide down easly if the bump against the dock. But the lack of wear on the usb connector is well worth it.
Do you mind giving any feedback on this unit? I want to buy a separate charger cause I have a spare battery and OEM dock the previous owner bought new with the phone but I want to be able to charge the spare battery without swapping back and forth from the phone. Its a real hassle. I don't want to buy a charger that ends up cooking the battery.

very good idea to keep every think in one place !
1 question MHL-usb which one will best one
ok i will be adding car docks
some anti finger print cover for back
How about some very thin transparent anti finger print cover or coating for back ?
Include the charging dock (if its available yet)
Buy a fast memory card for this phone!
This from amazon for example;
SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A)
Its only $29.67 .
I am pretty sure it will be a pain to use the other card that was linked to above.....
This is a FAST phone....
Coming from the pre-order opening at Paris Sony Store, vendors were talking about a wireless charging pod by sony. Somebody knows about it ?

They probably meant the charging dock. The SXZ has two contact point at the leftside of the phone. Clicking it in a dock will have it charge through these contacts. This technically is wireless. The dock has a wire, but no wires are required to charge the phone from the dock.

I've heard of a case cover that include the QI technology but I don't find official source for that.
It should be pretty easy for third-party companies to create covers that include Qi wireless charging thanks to the dock connectors on the side.

It's not about the DK26 charging station because it's already included in the retail package sold by the Sony Store.
Other packages from operators may not include this dock... depending on their own strategy.
Concerning QI like charging dock, the vendor was telling me that he has no info about the availibility but he heard of it.
Of course the 2 charging pins can be used with a special case cover... Don't know yet
Accessories in clove uk
I have noticed that there is a few more accessories at clove co uk that are not on your list, including Case-mate Tough and Case-mate barely there cases.
I like the looks of Krussel case a lot and how it shows off the Xperia logo in the back
I thought it was prohibited on XDA to post referral links for our own profit. Op, did you ask permission before doing this ?

Here's what I'd like to buy: EDD-S20JWEGSTA - Samsung Smart Dock Multimedia Hub ... But I don't want to spend $99 on it. The cheapest I could find it was about $68 ($5 ship) on Amazon.
Has anyone found a cheaper alternative? A knock-off brand? A Chinese version? (admit it, the Chinese can be good at making cheap off-brand accessories ... when they work right)
EDIT: It's noteworthy that I'm looking specifically to charge the device, use HDMI out, and USB OTG. Anything short of this would be a waste of time for me.
Also interested in a dock that supports HDMI, OTG, and charging.

You can get it for 1/2 price if you register with Samsung. Search the forum for details.

I did check into that and registered with Samsung, but the coupon they sent me only works for items that are $50 or less. Lamesauce.
Does anyone use a USB-C to micro USB adapater with their Mi5? I have a bunch of high-quality micro USB cables from my own phone that I'd like to use with the Mi5.
I'm wondering if charging speeds are affected and how well the adapters work. Anker sells a 2-pack for about $7, but I've also seen generics for $1 each. Is there a big difference between brands?

Didn't realize Xiaomi made those adapters! Rather buy theirs than from a 3rd party. I just ordered a few of them so I look forward to trying them out.
