So I'm shopping for a dock.. as I was when I had my g2... and it dawns on me that I change phones pretty often and having to shell out dough for accessories every time is pretty... non-frugal. So, I'm looking for a generic micro usb dock... does anyone have any suggestions?
pics and links please
None other than the one from T-Mo.
Not a dock but case wth a kickstands works for me. Here is the link. http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-lg-optimus-2x-kick-stand-case-209192/

I wish I could find a link (I'll keep trying), but I got a dock that holds three phones, and conceals the charging cords within the base. Have had it for years now - generic desktop docks are best.

e.g. Speaker dock, normal dock for charging,etc
Because i see a lot of dock on iphone, but no dock for android phone?
It would be very useful.
Trouble is, with the USB connector on the top, the normal 'drop in' operation of a dock is not workable.
This is not a dock, but a homemade stand
good job
it reminds me of the old Casio watch boxes
those makes great phone stands
Btw, there are official docks now..
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=
So yes.. Possible, and definitely workable..
a bit expensive, and bulky for the car, but it works

There are proper Car docks too (which are very expensive I feel), but they also apparently change the phones profile when you plug it in (so goes to navigation probably). http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-s-o...aled-desk-car-docks-dlna-hd-streamer-1197250/ Probably also comes with car charger and such
I probably would consider the car dock personally if the GPS fix in september DOES actually work.
The home and car dock apps are now released for Samsung Captivate. So I would say there's a good chance the the official docks will be coming out in a month or two.
To download the apps from the market, you need to have a Captivate phone. Good thing that there's work around. Download My Market from the market, launch it, set provider to US T-Mobile, and search for Samsung.

Is that a 3.5mm audio-out in the back of that dock? I wonder if you could output to both the 3.5mm on the phone and the dock at the same time, probably not but would be interesting.

What is the actual app called? Searching for Samsung brings up hundreds of apps.
Kidigi make one too

The Samsung one is a beaut though, damnit why are all the accessories out of stock?
Hey, so I have found those two stands that are compatible with the SGS, it may worth checking out, since I cannot really post links here it goes

let me know if you already have them and give a quick review if you can.
cheers.
Here is one for the T-Mobile Vibrant I don't see why it won't fit the other models as well
http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com/samsung-t959-vibrant-battery-charger-ECR-D979BEGSTA.aspx
I've got a desk genie... [actually mine was an advertisement for a pharmaceuticals company, but the same thing]
I wouldn't call it a cradle tbh since it's just a highly rubberised surface, the USB hub is nice for charging/syncing. I've not tried placing the phone horizontally on it yet.
The sound sphere looks interesting. tbh I'm really after a desk-cradle; something you physically insert the device into and sync up
Any luck finding a car dock with "integrated" usb-charger?
is there a bluetooch gamepad and case for htc desire? kind of transform it into a portable console? the htc desire on top and it's gamepad at the bottom?
I'm actually looking for the same thing! If anyone knows, please inform us!
It'd be nice, but as far as I know, there's nothing like that (being sold, anyway). I've been looking for one myself since not long after I got mine, which was a while back now.
There's a couple controllers I think being sold in marketplace, modded wii classic controllers. The wii controller seems best suited for it, I think it'd be great if someone made a custom case to house these 2 together
for me, wiimote looks too big for it? want a portable gamepad... msi bgp100 looks nice and quite portable but does not seem to fit the htc desire
it should just fit it, but that one's made for using portrait, not very good for almost every game really. if they made one for landscape mode games, it'd be perfect
iControlPad? http://icontrolpad.com/
Works over bluetooth, but currently only fits small iPhone sized phones, but you might JUST get away with a desire. Their forum has some posts on what fits and one member posted a load of images of phones fitting/not fitting in the pad.
Says in stock and shipping too!
EDIT Found the posts with the pictures showing what fits. Not a massive selection, but something you have might be comparable.
http://boards.openpandora.org/index...fit-clamp-set-1/page__view__findpost__p__9379
the icontrolpad looks nice! this the kind of case i am looking for!!! you think the desire will fit in it?
edit: don't think it will fit... Droid Incredible and Sanyo Zio are slightly too large and they are 117.5 and 116mm wide respectively and they are slightly too large for the icontrolpad while desire is 119mm.. do won't fit
Well its only 4mm longer than an iPhone. They will be making new clamps for larger phones so it's only a matter of time.
I've ordered one anyway. I don't have a Desire though, Nexus One and SGS (which has no hope of fitting in clamp set #1). Should be able to test fit one though, a fellow at work has one.
yup even if it's too tight, you can try the tip given there
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2033-clamps-too-tight-loosen-bottom-screw/
to lossen the screw... hope the nexus one fits in! it has similar dimensions as the desire
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a car dock for the G2X like there is for the Droid X?
Yes, its available on T-Mo Web site.
I have one. Picked it up at one one the local corporate stores yesterday.. its made very well its a nice piece only complaint is its not powered.. I ran my charger cord inside the dash of my GMC truck to the drivers side where the dock is mounted to the windshield.. took all the stress off the micro USB port on the phone..

People need to start using it. Ridiculous to see 2-3-20 threads saying the same thing
What do you guys think about the compatibility of a flexible bluetooth keyboard that is being sold on ebay? I'm looking for something compact that I can fit in my pocket and take to class to take notes. It says that it is compatible with Android. Anyone have any experience with it?
lol y do u need one of these things, the android keyboard is pretty good
yeah the android keyboard is pretty good. But I definitely can type faster on a full sized keyboard. And I'm sure others can also.
So the question remains. Is the G2x capable to link to a bluetooth keyboard and possibly a mouse also? Anyone tried it, yet?
This one works good with the ps3 and lots of android phones

That thing is tiny. Looks like you can only type with your thumbs or peck at it with one of your fingers.
I'm looking at something more like this:

or this:

But they don't look like they can connect to an android though.
I used an old apple bluetooth keyboard lying around. It paired and connected as a HID (Human Interface Device). Needed no configuration, it took over the keyboard automatically. You can navigate menus with it aswell. I've never tried a mouse though.
Ive even used a full sized Logitec desktop Bluetooth keyboard (mx-5000) and it paired up just fine.

Really??? Why doesn't anyone talk about this? My case converts to a landscape kickstand so I could prop it up while typing. I wonder if I could use it in a coffee house like a laptop after all? Hmmmmmm!
The only rom I ever got to work with a bluetooth keyboard for the G2x was with CM7. Be aware that it might have to come down to flashing your phone to this Rom if you decide you do want to use a BT keyboard.
My only concern would be how difficult it would be to see the screen if you're four feet away in a comfortable typing position.
And if you're getting a full sized keyboard, lugging it around would be a pain. Easier to just use a laptop if you have one.

cost like $49.99

eh.
I've been looking around for a car mount. Ebay has apparently only one type, like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Suction...ccessories&hash=item3a72a0136d#ht_2109wt_1139
But I'm looking for one that is a better fit for the tf700 and that I can "flipp" the tablet in and out of, without having to clamp it down each time I mount it.
Amzer® Universal Tablet Windshield Mount looks like a better fit. Anyone tried this one?
And is there any mounts that uses the original clamp that the dock uses to hold it in place? That would be the best solution.
Found it for you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbW95iRJos8&feature=plcp
Yes as I linked to it I've already found that one. But nice with a video.
Yeah, I understood that you had found it already, but you asked if anyone had tried it, so I simply linked the video to show you how it actually worked.
The transformer infinity looks promising on the gps front, is this what you're gonna use it for in the car?
Gps, spotify and podcasts.

I think I'm gonna order that one and try it. To bad I can't find any mount using the latch mechanism on the tablet. Something similar as the transleeve cover.
Edit ordered the amzer one instead.

any1 use this seat bolt style for a previous tab from Digitl ?
lmao at having a tablet in your car mounted haha its like if i open my laptop tehter internet to it and run the gps xD
Ever heard about a carputer? Google it. ;-)
As soon as I can find an infinity locally I'll be getting one (hoping this weekend if bestbuy comes through). I'll be making one out of Kydex and working up a proclip like attachment. I made a how-to thread and video, if your a DIYer and wanna give it a try it's cheap and pretty easy. The thread was left to die as there wasn't alot of interest in the Note forum on it. Finished product has since been cleaned up and smoothed out as compared to rought results in thread. Total cost for a Infinity size one would run you $15-$20 most likely.

Don't recommend a car mount with sharp clamps or corner, a hidden safety issue with the design for vehicle gadgets
