docking / desktop charger

Hi,
I've just ordered a desire. It was a tough choice between this and the nexus one. One the the reasons I favoured the nexus one was because of the car mount and desktop stand. HTC are just about to release a car mount, but does anyone know of a desktop mount that will also activate the desktop 'mode' when inserted?
Thanks.

What do you mean activate desktop mode? I use the apk released on here that auto runs the desktop clock and that works a treat every time I put the desire into its dock

Samsung Vehicle Dock ECS-V968BE and i9003

Hi Guys,
I am trying to force my phone working with Samsung Vehicle Dock ECS-V968BE.
Is there any checked Kernel it works with?
I have no audio from dock (it is not transfered from usb to 3,5mm output in the dock).
Currently I am on xxKPQ 2,3,6
thanks

did you tested audio out with Froyo?

I did not check it personally but if you Go to This Site and check "User Review's" ( 2nd Post ), you'll find your answer!
Press The THANKS BUTTON If I Helped!

OK, thx
I was looking 4 somebody who tested it on i9003, because some people say it doesn't work with i9003 (no support in Kernel)

[REQ] Dev needed for Infuse Car Dock to work with Samsung Skyrocket

There are a few dozen of us Skyrocket (GS II LTE) guys using the Infuse car dock (OEM Samsung version) because there are no docks made for the Skyrocket.
And it works great.... except for one problem.
Once you plug the phone into the docks USB port, it does not deliver audio out of the 3.5mm jack on the dock.
Am hoping there is a dev who will know how this function works on the Infuse, so we can possibly port that capability over to the Skyrocket?
Here is the Infuse car dock thread in the Skyrocket forum.

Thanks for any tips or suggestions!!!

I check the other link and nobody knows so far how to make it work, when you said "he knows" you mean he did actually tell you "how to" make it work?

Can't help you with ****rocket... COMPLETELY different hardware architecture including, I believe, a completely different USB port switching IC.
This is about all the help I can give you:
If the kernel properly supports docks, /sys/class/switch/dock/state will be 2 when a cardock is attached
Samsung Car Home sends the proper intents to Samsung's framework to change the dock audio routing. If you've tried Samsung Car Home and its dock audio routing isn't working - you're SOL on Touchwizz firmwares.

HDMI For Sensation

Hey I'm looking to get my phone screen to show up on my tv and i was just curious if this HDMI cord is compatible with our sensations, let me know, thanks
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Micro-HDMI-M...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item20c237ece0

Don't think so
What you need is a MHL cable or a craddle that includes it
I bought one from a seller in EBAY... and it worked flawless.
It's a craddle from KiDiGi, you can find it in it's home page. Can't post it here because of the rules of the forum
:good:
Just remember that a MHL cable needs power to function

Sorry to bug but could you perhaps pm me a cheap good one, so I know what I'm looking for exactly, greatly appreciated

Any MHL adapter should work... I bought a cheap one off eBay and it works great.

Has anyone used MHL with a de-sensed ROM? For example I am running Elegancia 3.6 with Nova launcher. Should it work ok and will the screen rotate to landscape on my TV? Just wanted to check, as any videos of MHL that I have seen for the Sensation show portrait orientated Sense launcher.

Just to update, went ahead and ordered an MHL cable from ebay (under £5) and it works great. Didn't work with my 40" Samsung as its nearly 5 years old, but worked with my smaller led tv.

Be carefull wenn using cheap MHL-adapters in a moving vehicle.
The switching between 2G and 3G network can cause serious interference (white snow/flickering)..

Thanks for the tip, but I doubt it will make it outside of my house!

No problem.
I'm using one in my car with my Appradio (Pioneer SPH-DA100). Found out the hard way...
If (IF!) you're getting any interference at home, try putting network-settings in HSPDA-only.
You'll probably just fine, but maybe this info is of any use to someone else who reads it.

Cool, looks like a nice system.
I'm always hooked up to my wifi at home, but thanks for the advice, will take note for future reference.

It is a beautiful system IF you use ARLiberator. That app lets you mirror the full phone to the radio with touchscreen!
It's like having a 7 inch phone in your car.

What resolution will be displayed on the screen, capable of giving full hd ?

[Q] is this the tab for me?

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

Why not use one of these? I use it all the time when I'm in hotels that don't have wireless.

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.

Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.

perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!
