New style car dock

For those of you that want a Fascinate specific car dock that leaves the headphone port open, check this out...
http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Samsung-Fascinate-OrionGadgets-Accessory/dp/B004GXISO2/

And does not block the camera. Nice find. Too bad it isn't actually available or priced yet.

I see it as in stock for $33.85...

I do too now.

Proclip has there version out now too.

proclip question
Proclip seem nice but expensive. For those of you who have bought one, do they block or restrict the the air flow when used on the vents?

They are not cheap but VERY well made and do not move around at all. Your phone slides in and out with ease. Had one for my iPhone and loved it, so I got one for my fascinate as soon as it was available. With the power chord built in, you can't beat it.
I never used the vent style, I used the clip type that snap to your cars molding.

This looks like what I have been looking for. I want something heavy duty that will not move unless I move it. I hate cheap flimsy docks.
Will probably order one with my next paycheck.

Will it work with cases?

They have a couple of adjustable models that will work with cases, but the ones made specifically for the fascinate only work if naked.

I just picked up the Verizon car dock to find this out the hard way...
sooo I grabbed a tiny screwdriver and took the "slider" apart/off the dock so the end is now open. Not as easy/convenient as I would like but it will do until we get some sort of 2.2 update.

That's kinda drastic, isn't it? I just flip my Fascinate 180degrees (put it in upside down). My ADW launcher just flips the screen, can plug in my audio on right hand side now.

Interesting...I picked up this same dock at my Verizon store with Verizon branding about a month ago for $30. It works quite well, but the phone does not automatically detect that it's docked. If you want to go to dock mode, you have to do it manually. Also, the dock doesn't block the camera and it has built-in cord keepers on the back. Overall, a very good dock if you want to listen to music, but I'll probably order the Samsung OEM dock when Froyo comes out and I can use the audio out.

Yeah, I will too. I can't stand plugging in multiple cords each time I get in the car. I've heard it is a little tough getting it out of the samsung stock, but I can live with that.

With the ProClip mounts you don't have to plug anything in, when you slide it in the dock, It slides into the power port. Much like the desk dock from Verizon. Then slides right out with one hand.

Does the proclips mount put the phone in car-dock mode automatically?

No, they don't have the magnet built into the case. You could always add one I guess.

Charging dock/cradle

I currently have a htc aria using a charging cradle to charge my phone when I'm home and about to get an inspire soon and was wondering if anyone has tried a this charging cradle for their inspire. I assume the desire hd and the inspire have the exact location for the usb port so it should fit fine? I'm trying to get the same cradle as my aria that would fit the inspire when I get it since the one I have for the aria works great.
Heres what I was looking at from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Sync-Cradle-Dock-Desktop-Charger-HTC-Desire-HD-/310274079688?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item483dc6bbc8#ht_4589wt_763

Looks pretty legit, I too am looking for a solid docking station in the sub $20 range

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Multi..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1298858717&sr=1-4
Found this if anyone is interested

I wonder if the phone will fit in that cradle if you have a case.....say the otterbox commuter.

Here's two photos I just took ... I unpackaged it. I don't like the feel of sliding the device into it, gives me the eebie jeebies hearing the sound. I'm afraid if I bump it that it'll break the usb port inside my phone

So its crap? also is it overly tight in the dock and is it stable
And what screen protector are you using

Honestly it's what I'd expect for $18 from HKG... I won't use it, I'm going to return it to Amazon. It's snug side to side, but you really have to get it just right to slide down onto the USB adaptor. This is common with any aftermarket dock, and always concerns me that sliding it on and off might damage after a while.
It'd be nice if it were a little better quality, but oh well. I don't like it, and won't be using it.
I have the Zagg invisible shield on the phone. I like it because of the ease of getting replacements if the device is replaced or if I have any issues with it. Got it at best buy for $20, but used a 12% off coupon and a $5 rewardzone certificate, so came in at about $12, which I think you can do better on eBay\Zagg.com lol... I just have instant gratification disorder, hehe

Grr now im off looking for a different dock. Ever since i got one for my iPad i just need them. Its so much simpler to charge =).

For an iPad yeah, but for a phone no. Every time you get a text you either have to pick up the whole dock, or undock it... to hell with that. Cord = better.

Did you happen to find any night/bedside/charging docks?

I finally received my cradle in today. Looks like the one I have for the aria, but the fitment is different for the inspire. Feels a bit loose around the sides and looks like there should of been a spot to have a 3.5mm audio jack next to the usb. Stability with the phone on the cradle feels like it is unstable if you touch the screen a lot with the phone on the cradle. It seems ok for what I'm using it for though. I only have it to charge while I sleep so it should be ok as I don't touch it. All in all, it could be better, but gets the job done.

Ditto, ordered two (the lady and I) and then the Otterbox Defender. I got an e-mail saying ships in 3-5 days.

I posted this on the other thread but I guess no one has posted a review for the cardock.
I have the stock HTC One X car mount and it is not a joy to use.
The stock relies on these grooved sides to hold the phone in, and when you slide in the phone sometimes you have to wiggle to get the USB to plug in. Further, because it holds the phone pretty tightly, it's not easy to remove the phone. I have to use both hands to get my phone out of the car mount.
I guess it just comes down to the fact that it grips the phone really tight and there is not a "catch" to release. You kind of squeeze the phone into the tracks to place, and pulllll it out when you're done.
The good news is that the suction cup works really well. It's very stable and it had not fallen off at all in the last 48 hours, even when I am tugging on it to get my phone out.
The metallic joint between the suction and the arm doesn't really rotate except in a circle, you cannot change the angle it comes out at. The joint between the phone holder and the metallic arm is more mobile.
The phone uses USB to charge. The USB clicks into the bottom and works well. It comes with a long cord, I'm not sure how long but plenty to reach from my cigarette lighter to the windshield w/ comfortable excess cord.
I had been having some issues with the USB not perfectly fitting into the phone when I squeeze the phone through the tracks, but the track is so tight that I cannot maneuver the phone to get the USB to go in. Each time it's maybe 1mm off, but it's frustrating. Twice I had to remove the stand from my windshield to get it in.
Once it's setup, however, this is a very stable stand that will keep your phone very secure while driving.

Why they don't use the pogo pins (5 little holes on the back of the phone) confuses me. They put them there, but their own dock doesn't use them.
The Nexus One car dock I use is awesome because it connects using the pogo pins on the bottom of the phone.

Yeah I agree. POGO pins would get rid of the USB-aiming issues I am having w/ my dock now. I also think having top part to secure the dock will allow them to grip it less tight on the sides, resulting in a much better experience.

Yikes $60 for a usb cable/charger and buncha plastic. Don't tell me you guys are paying $60 for that?
for $60, I would expect it to have it's own audio out to stereo, even if it's with 3.5mm. I shouldn't have to plug in the 3.5mm headphone jack.
It should also be utilizing the quick dock connects.
It should be as simple as me sliding the device in the dock. THATS IT.
It should charge and output the audio through a 3.5mm that you can plug into your aux (and keep it plugged in).
pshhhhh $60??? It should be 19.99 AT MOST!!! with the feathers I listed above.

just bought this universal one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ELOOZO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
the reviews are amazing, hopefully it will work well with our ONE x.

It works great with my trusty Mountek. All plugs easily accessible.

I like the official car dock. It's really slick, and slides in and out with ease, but rests very stable.

It only says "one x" but I would guess since there is enough play to hold the phone in a case that the extra fraction in length of the att wouldn't be a problem.

Cool product, still wish it used the POGO PINs.

Me too... I want a dock that does charging and audio out with no connecting. of wires.

I have the stock HTC One X car mount and it sucks. This looks much better.

Further, because it holds the phone pretty tightly, it's not easy to remove the phone. I have to use both hands to get my phone out of the car mount.

just brought this got to wait 10 days as its coming from china.
has anyone got one yet and got any feedback?
I was willing to pay the £40 for the htc official one but ultimately
i didnt go for that one because i didnt like the idea of having to
take the case on and off each time.
this ones meant to work with or without and was cheaper only £25.
ill post a review when i receive it.......

You'll need a Motorola phone to accomplish that. They send audio out the USB port of the car dock
Sent while in DEFCON Brown.

Just received my KiDiGi dock yesterday. It's very well made and works great with the Rock slim case I have on my HOX. It comes with a usb cable and charger, but it doesn't appear to be wired to auto enable car mode when docked. No big deal...that's what NFC tags are for!
It's very similar in design to the iBolt dock that Sprint is selling for the EVO LTE. They both have the insert to work with or without a case on the phone, and a top latch to keep it secure. If the KiDiGi were easier to come by, I would highly recommend it. I ordered it from 4u-mobi back on May 24th, so it took about 3 weeks to make it here.

I received my dock as well. It does enable car mode for me, I'm not sure why it's not for you (are you on a Sense based rom?). I have a Casemate Barely There on my HOX and it works fine with the dock. The dock seems to be able to accomodate cases slightly thicker than the Barely There as well (but not much thicker). The headphone jack and camera are exposed and easy to get to. The top "flap" that keeps the phone in place snaps down with a satisfying thud. Very good build quality. The charger that comes with it is a single USB, 1.0A charger. Pretty standard. The usb cable that comes with it is one of those looped cables (like old corded phone cables) so if your charging port is more than 2 feet or so away from your mount it's gonna put some stress on the usb cable. There's also a little cavity underneath the phone on the mount that lets you wedge your finger in there to aid in getting the phone out of the dock, very nice touch.
Note: If you use the plastic dash mounting disk, the adhesive pad on the bottom needs at least 24 hours to set properly. I tried using the mount after letting it sit overnight and the adhesive was barely holding on, but the next day it was rock solid.

Just ordered it from htcpedia. $33 shipped.

The sprint dock is from kidigi but sprint just paid them to put their logo on there.

I was mistaken. CleanROM DE doesn't have the htc car app. I switched to SE and it does indeed auto-switch to car mode when docked.

Just got my KiDiGi dock today, very happy with my purchase. The arm is a little bulky and flimsy but the dock fits on my other arm perfectly so I could care less. Fits great with both my Mybat hybrid TPU case and my Diztronic TPU case. Highly recommended.

Just received mine as well, I don't consider the arm flimsy, though. Tighten it up and its sturdy as anything. Nice looking dock, fits with my barely there, and enables car mode. Just wish I could set music to a third party app, or figure out how.
And that's the aux cable wrapped around the arm.

An update on mine...
The adhesive disk for mounting on your dash kinda sucks...at least mine did. It could not hold up the mount while the phone was docked. I had the mount itself set at a 90 degree angle and after a bit of driving the adhesive disk just started peeling off.
My solution to this was getting some mounting puddy and using that as an adhesive plus setting the dock on my dash in a way that allows the mount itself (where you dock the phone) to rest on the dash, thereby alleviating any excessive torque being put on the dash disk.

Inexpensive Car Dock

I looked through the accessories threads and did not see this one.
Bought it on ebay, the item number is 310396344082. Sorry I am unable to post links yet.
If you do not plan on putting a case on your One X then I highly recommend this car dock. The suction is strong and all joints have tension adjusters. Also the cradle part is on a ball type swivel with tension adjustment. Holds the phone very securely and does not interfere with any of the buttons or ports. This is not a universal as the cradle part seems to be molded specifically for the HTC One x (perfectly molded around the camera).
It does not put the phone in car mode automatically, you will have to push the car icon. But I have seen special charging cables that will do that for you also.

This is exactly what i was looking for, a slim, low profile car mount and what an amazing price.. Ordered!

Gonna use this with an NFC tag to launch the cardock and Pandora. With this kind of battery life, who needs a charger plugged in?

Thanks for the heads up on this. I think I'm going to order one today. I need to get the cable that puts the phone in dock mode. For me it's not so much for the charging, but I want to have the screen stay on and not time out while in the dock.

You can set your screen to always stay on while charging. It's in the developer settings.

How long did it take to arrive?

Is the OEM car dock out? Where can I find one online? (please don't say eBay)

Has any one tried one of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATT-HTC-ONE-X-VEHICLE-CAR-DASHBOARD-NON-SLIP-MAT-PAD-STAND-AUTO-DASH-DOCK-MOUNT-/300707078571?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item460389e1ab#ht_2102wt_1207

I have the Inspire 4G dock with this same design (looks like the same removeable clip system) and while I did like the design, the suction cup never seemed to hold well. When I took it down after I got my One X, I realized that the suction cup was breaking away from the mount. YMMV of course...
