Car Dock (ProClip)

Hi,
Does any1 know if there are some alternatives to a car dock, similar to ProClip?
I just emailed proclip to inquire about using the dock from nexus one and they say it won't fit.
Thx.

Ive got a Brodit clip/holder from my old iPhone and although it is a bit lose around the Desire, its not TOO loose. So much so, im using that one and wont be investing in anything new.
If you desperately want Brodit then get one for the iPhone. Mine is non adjustable, so you could get an adjustable one and get a case.

i emailed Brodit the other day, they said the Desire one was nearly ready and would be available in a couple of weeks

Nexus Car Dock
Have you seen the Nexus Car Dock - look on the nexus site or Engadget - now that looks good and it has just gone on sale.
As the nexus has been out a while longer and is almost the same size does anyone know if some of the nexus stuff will fit the desire?

It is a micro-USB charging dock isn't it? Not mini-USB?

The Nexus dock? Of course it is... The Nexus has a MicroUSB port...

Does not look like the Nexus Car Dock will work with the desire - at least not if you want charging. Nexus has those three little contacts on the bottom for docking, and the car dock appears to use these to charge, with micro USB power cable plugging into the base of the dock, not the phone.
Have a look here: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/04/06/nexus-car-dock/
They also link to the help file found here: http://www.google.com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178146
Also I imagine it is with these ports the nexus realises it's docked in the car dock and thus enters the car home interface? This is not something I have yet found on my desire...
Cheers,
Andrew

Looks like your right
Something similar for the Desire would be nice though.

I wonder if the iphone one would fit better if the Desire had a skin case on? I had a Brodit clip for my HTC Hero and it wouldnt fit in the holder with the skin case on.
Perhaps the Iphone holder for a Desire + Skin would be a perfect fit , any ideas?

Soft Silicone or Gelli cases for HTC

Hi Guys
I saw many different suggestiong from different people regarding the leather cases and other cases.
In addition i know there are many different cases for nexus one.
I am looking for Gelli case or soft Silicone case for HTC Desire.
Examples for what i am looking (I found it here between the other people suggestions):
1- http://ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=415
2- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120527097735&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
If someone found already where i can buy these (above) for the HTC desire , plese share the info.
Thanks

I'm looking for the same. Firstly, I can't believe the phone didn't come with a basic case but I am even more surprised that there are not silicone cases made specifically for the Desire.
Why is this?

I've ordered one from morpethmobiles.co.uk - was posted today so I'll let you know what its like once received.

I think because it's new phone so it's still not fully adapted by the providers. I hope we will see more accessories for this phone soon.

Received today - it's the made for the nexus one unfortunately so there's the hole in the back for the noise cancellation on the nexus. Was hoping it would be a good fit - and it is once it's on but it's a bit tight, it goes on with a bit of tugging and stretching it. Undecided about whether I'll keep it or not yet.
It's fairly well made and will provide good protection on the back and sides, although it appears to have a slight manufacturing defect in it, a small flake of black paint or something actually in the material.
Access to the bottom buttons is fine, with slight misalignment with the power button and it makes it a little harder to press the volume buttons on the side due to the thickness of the material.

I have the same nexus one case for mine, it has been doing a good enough job for me, the nexus badge was easy to peel off, and it fits okay.
Can still use all the buttons fine, so I'm happy.
There is that random odd hole for noise cancelation, but really I'm only using it til I can get gelaskins, and at that price I really can't complain

I've been using capdase for years now and so far I've found their product to be the best. Yea so I guess capdase fans would have to wait for a month or two. For the meantime I'll be using a simple soft pouch once my desire arrives.

Great, let us know if you get something valuable.

I'd like a case like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-New-Silicone...Accessories&hash=item414f16ef5b#ht_1875wt_968
but will the trackpad be still usable?

I buy my cases from http://stores.ebay.com/dcmugen but they stated they weren't doing a desire case (although there appears to be one on there) when I emailed them a few weeks back.
The last ones I got were for my Nokia 5800 - http://cgi.ebay.com/2-SOFT-Crystal-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a50c8bbad and the build quality is amazing.
Lets hope they make one for the Desire otherwise i'll be stuck with the one from Morpeth Mobiles http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/73/SD_HTC_Desire_crystal&cat=627
I ordered one over 3 weeks ago but due to the whole Iceland fiasco, I still haven't received it.

More silicones are starting to appear but do you guys know how easy the front button section is to scratch or dust?
I've seen one with the silicone actually covering this controls but not sure about it. The other cases leave them exposed.

Dock for charging

If anyone finds a website that sells a dock (for charging) that support the Desire S (and its nonstandard micro-USB plug location) then please let me know. Thanks.

See it: kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1279

i remember seeing a blackberry phone with the same location for it's charger, you have to place it down the dock sideways.

There are now a few showing up on Ebay for the desire s.......
Can anyone confirm if the dock works OK if the phone has a case...ie. Otterbox commuter or Barely there case?...thanks

I bought one of ebay.
Works fine, the phone lays on its side and plugs into the charger.
I got the one with a spare battery charger at the back.
Fits well and at about £12.00 good value.
The blue led on top is very bright, I have mine beside my bed so as to use the phone as an alarm clock, so I had to tape over the LED. Or have a blue ceiling.

Here's the dock I have.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?index=4&nav=SEARCH&nid=04031654468&itemId=120722797935
I have a cheap skin on my phone which is fairly chunky so it won't fit in the charger with the skin on.
A thinner skin may work.
But its not a problem slipping it off to fit on the dock.

Seen this on Amazon:
Clingo Desktop Stand Dock Holder For HTC Desire S
(can't post link as I'm a nube!)
but again it may not stick with a case on. Anyone got experience of using Clingos?

They are on ebay as well.
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from...lingo+Desktop+Stand&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Its not a dock but a stand.
No charging and relies on a special sticky surface to hold the phone.
So you have to use a charger as well.
Gordon

Gordon,
Do they work with cases? The website doesnt give much info re this. I presume silicon cases wouldnt work. I see they do car mounts aswell...could b handy. Thanks
Sent from Zoombini's Desire S

Generally docks wont allow a case to be fitted. For those in the UK, I recommend Mobilefun for phone accessories. Here are their line-up of Desire S docks...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Desire-S-Desktop-Chargers.htm
Due to the placement of the USB socket on the LHS though, the docks all seem to require you have the phone in landscape mode. Fine for watching vids, browsing etc, but Sense 2.1 still doesn't rotate the home screens when in landscape mode so not decided on getting one yet. There's always Launcher Pro I suppose.

No the one Ive got doesnt work with a case on.
Theres one on mobilefun looks the same as mine but more expensive by quite a bit.
Gordon

i don't know about other countries, but htc australia has genuine docks available from their online store.

I've tried Clingos with a Desire in a case - frankly I wouldn't bother.
I spent more time catching mine as it tumbled to the floor than watching the road(!).
If you don't have a case it's not too bad although I'd probably say that it held on for around 60% of the time. Great idea and probably better on a desk or stationary surface. Ideally you should be able to lay it flat too....
I got mine from Mobilefun and their customer service assured me it would be "fine". Normally MobileFun are a fine supplier but on this occasion....
I'll be taking their advice with several pinches of salt in future.

+1 on that.
Those clingy holders only work on cool days and on smooth surfaces. On a warm day going around a roundabout.....you instinctively take your eyes of the road to catch your phone....you just can't trust em. They are perfectly good as desk holders though. You dont go around many corners at them.

it only mentions desire HD once as far as i can see.
everything else says desire s, including the image.
i'm assuming that the dock is either similar or identical to the one for the desire hd and they just copy pasted the page, but missed a reference to the desire hd.
EDIT: there's a second desire s dock on that site and the description mentions the HD7.

It won't fit with any case. It holds just the phone, nicely though.

No case will fit .. there is however a fella on eBay that sells custom made holders for the Desire HD/Inspire 4G with either the Otterbox Defender or Commuter Cases .. only problem, you're going to pay $30 for that holder.

I got something similar from china for $5. It works fine and like this one no case on the phone.
I wanted the original one from HTC but it's almost $50.

Same seller has an adjustable holder. It necessarily looks a little more clunky than the one tailored to the Desire HD/Inspire.
For seven dollars, I think I'll give it a shot.
I would post a link, but I need to go post some more first!
Hit the original link and browse the vendor's store and you should see it.

It arrived and it works. Should fit pretty much any case or phone. Rotates through three hundred and sixty degrees and I can still plug in a power and audio cable. The holding mechanism works quite well. There are two hard "prongs" holding the bottom of the phone in place, and two ratcheting grips on either side that are pushed closed. They have rubber padding. I was concerned they would hold down the volume control but it isn't an issue.

That's pretty cool looking.

This is perhaphs a stupid questions but just wanna be sure since the last time I bought a dock for my HTC Sensation, it came with two different cables - one for data transfer/syncing and another for charging and neither would do both at the same time which was obviously not what I wanted and so had to return it and all that drama.
My question is - Does this dock allow you to do data transfer/sync and charge the device at the same time?
Thanks!

Since you bought it, let me ask you: Do you know if my phone will fit into the dock without taking off the TPU case that I keep the phone in?

I have this dock and the Diztronic case. It will NOT fit with the case on. It makes the phone too thick and just slightly too long to line up with the USB port.

I don't know. I don't use a case on mine. But how thick is the side on that case? It probably wouldn't without taking the case off.
EDIT : I tried my brothers One S on my dock because his has a silicon case. It's a thin case, and with it on you can use the dock as a stand, but it's not quite enough for data or power connection. Given that, the TPU case here looks small enough that it might work.

I just ordered the Hyperion stand from Amazon...it's available via Prime for $19.99.
I have the clear Cruzerlite Android case and will see if it works with it on when I get it.

Received the Hyperion Desktop Charging Cradle today via Amazon Prime.
The way the dock is designed seems that it will not work with any type of case on the HTC One.
Since the Cruzerlite case is so easy to put on & take off, it's not a real big deal...just a bit of an inconvenience.
I'm planning to keep this dock until something better comes along.
(RANT)
I'm just a bit upset with the delivery service that Amazon used.
They were so lazy that they actually threw my package from the sidewalk in front of my house onto my porch...there are 6 steps up to my front porch.
The thing that gets me is that the package fell off the porch and landed on the side of the house!
I saw this happen, but they drove off before I could give them a piece of my mind!
(END)

Quick question for those who bought the Hyperion Desktop Charging Cradle...does your One S indicate A/C or USB Charging when being charged on this dock?
Mine for some reason shows USB, but the Parameters Output: 5V 1000mAh (on the box)
Shouldn't that be A/C...not USB?

anyone try the oem evo 3d dock looks like it might be a good fir plus added hdmi functionality.
Anyone know if the hyperion will work with MHL adapter to bring hdmi functionality while docking?
I also found a dock made by a company KIDIGI that offers case compatibility while docked.

I am useing the evo 3d dock, Posted a picture. You would need to modify it alittle.
