Have there been any desk docks released recently that trigger dock mode?
I've also got an in car charger, with a separate Mountek Car Mount. Is there any way to mod something to trigger car mode automatically?
The Seidio desktop dock triggers dock mode. I got mine a couple days ago and it's working great. www.seidioonline.com

Thanks for that.
I've got a TPU case on, unsure whether it'll fit though. Does you have a case on?
Does it also come with an AC charger, or just USB?
Yeah I have a Seidio surface case on my phone. The dock is designed to work with either no case at all or the surface case. Not sure if it will fit with a TPU case.
If you get the $40 combo, it comes with wall charger, the $30 one, I'm not sure.

Just ordered my car dock, I was thinking about heading to the mall today and getting "ghost armor" full body protection to replace my hard case (since i cant use it with the dock.)
How tight is the dock? will the body protector film interfere with the mounting?
Bump.
Was just about to ask this same question. I'm looking for a nice car charging solution for my N1. A dock would serve double time on that front by giving me the option of using it for GPS too.
I'm curious if you guys who have the dock could tell me how exactly the dock charges ?
Also, do you think a full BSE skin will impede it fitting into the dock and/or charging?
Not being able to use my skin would be a dealbreaker for me Buttt I really like that car dock
Don't know exactly what casing/Skin you mean but invisishield is even to mUch to fit in the desktop dock much less the cAr dock. They are perfectly engineered. Great if you don't want a case on. Something I wish I had Ben told before Trying both.
Thank you! I will get a charger cord or something then
Ghost Armor, Ghost Armor, Ghost Armor!

I would like to get a case for my N1, but only after I can find a car dock that will accommodate the phone in its case. I have a proclip now which is excellent for the non-cased N1. Ideally I'd find a dock that was designed for a slightly thicker phone that will snuggly hold the cased N1.
Has anyone found a good solution?
I guess you could try those invisible skin "cases" which only protect it from scratches. I just ordered the Google car dock, but I have a Seido Innocase II, which will surely not fit in the dock. It's pretty easy to take the case off, so I'm not too concerned.
I have a Cas-mate Tough using it on my Nexus one, ist there any car dock that would fit?
Like Google's dock, or something similar, maybe?
Has anyone picked this dock up or know anywhere they are sold in stores? So far I have been unable to find anything to answer whether my phone would fit into this dock using the Speck Candyshell case.
I e-mailed Kidigi, but they never responded to my e-mail.

Not sure if this helps at all, but I have the car dock and I would assume the car and desktop dock would have the same case-size tolerance. The car dock can definitely accomodate a case that is at least 1.5x as thick as a Case-Mate Barely There.
thanks stnguyen09
Of course I finally post about this dock and htcpedia finally adds the candyshell to site and it now pops up as a compatible case for the dock *orders!*
I have one. I'm pretty sure it will fit. I have the Nillkin and the Platinum cases from Bestbuy and they both fit.

Well if the platinum case fits I'm buying one.

Just got it today. While the phone fits, it is a little too tight. The phone looks like it is at an angle when installed into dock, but still makes connection with the micro-usb

Found Kidigi under a different name
If you search Amazon for RND Power Solutions Deluxe Charger and Data Sync Cradle , you can get the Kidigi cradle for $19.99. I bought one a week ago and the the instruction manual is from Kidigi. The only difference is no logo on the front.
I have a question..Can I just connect my dock to my desktop and charge overnight and have the ability to synch, all in one? Or do I need to use both cables separately to charge and/or synch?

It doesn't activate any docking features and the display stays in portrait.
It's just like plugging in a regular charger.
I already own the Sanwa Wireless Charger .. whilst its very good it doesnt charge through my
case.
Are there any cheap Qi Chargers that work well with cases ?
I ordered the TechMatte and Foneman receivers from Amazon. I got the TechMatte on Saturday and the Foneman should be here tomorrow. The TechMatte seems to have issues with the 3 coil Qi car charging dock. Its documented in the reviews. It doesn't seem to hold a connection with the charger and you get the charging beep every 15 - 30 seconds. Does it with or without the Otterbox Commuter case. Don't have a home Qi pad to try it with.
You will have better luck finding a unicorn.
From all that I have read, what you are looking for does not exist.

I bought this on amazon with the wireless receiver (different bundle but this is the charger). I have no issue charging through my case. http://www.zagg.com/ifrogz/cases/samsung-galaxy-s4/natural-cases-covers/8650
Good luck!

Is there a bulge on the back of your case?

go to a verizon wireless store and ask for either the nokia or lg charging pad. They are both nice, nokia $50 LG $40:silly:
Tried the Foneman this morning on the way to work. Held connection for the entire drive and the phone was still fully charged when I got here. Was running Waze and Pandora streaming on bluetooth the whole way.

it's very strange, I have the sanwa (standing version) and same issue with yours, it will not charge my note 2 and my other phones with case, but i'm using it now with ipod with case, s 4 mini with case and S5 with case, all works very good.
Go to Gmarket and look for a iffy brand charger made in korea, looks good and has very good detection with and without case, it's a single coil one, but is not fussy about positioning.
If you can pick up a sandisk receiver, it's very good.

I have the charging coil + a metal plate behind the back cover. There is a little bulge but the back cover to the phone fits like normal. It doesn't sit perfectly flat on a table anymore without the case but I always have my case on so it doesn't bother me.

What is the metal plate for?

Topic says all. How thick can a case be before it will not work.
I've yet to hear of a case that blocks wireless charging.
not sure about the metal cases but all the tpu and hard plastic cases I've used worked on the wireless charger.
metal cases will block the wireless. if you want woreless charget with case, don't support metal cases
Most of the time (if you're buying a higher quality case) you'll see that they'll include some text saying "Supports wireless charging". Spigen mentioned it on some of the boxes for the cases I ordered.

The Spigen Neo-Hybrid does not work with the Duracell Powermat. Haven't tried it with the official wireless charger.

Maybe it's an issue with the PMA standard as a opposed to Qi. Right now I have the Neo-Hybrid with metal bumpers and using this charger here, it works just fine.

Yeah, that is most likely the issue.
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and it works fine with the Samsung wireless charger
Give this video a watch:

PMA is terrible. The phone gets hot and has a very weak range. Go Qi and almost all cases should work.
I have a s6 and the nexus 5 wireless charger and it never connects with a thin TPU case on... Im a case guy and need a case... however if i remove the case it will charge just fine (havent dont a full charge yet...)
can someone test with cases on etc and see what you get, if it connects... i tested the charger with my wifes n4 with a similar case on and it connects without an issue... as soon as i put on the s6, nothing, just briefly shows the NFC icon and then nothing...
tried it with original clear case. plus i put about 4 credit card together. my phone still charging. so u can figure hows the thickness.
it seems my issue is with the nexus 5 charger, i just used a generic one i got off ebay a while back and it worked great... so selling the nexus 5 charger now lol
im pretty sure the case companies have designed all of their cases so the device can be chargeable with the case on

While it's not wise to assume, I think in this instance, it's pretty safe. But, always read reviews before purchase. Just to be sure.
Wireless charging thru case solved
I am a novice. My wireless charger wouldn't charge my s6 through the thick Otter case, even if I turned it upside down with the face on the charger, So being a novice I fixed the problem the old fashioned way instead of trying to figure out the technical way.
I took the s6 out of the case and drilled a hole thru the case. Put the s6 back in the case and it charges fine now.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Mine works fine (Spigen) with the exception I can't just put the phone down on it and walk away. I have to lay it down horizontal and confirm the light goes on the charger, but yes it does work.
cases with only board may work
