I have one such DS and it is grand, smaller footprint than the HTC masterpiece.
what about this one ?
Hi,
I saw this on ebay : "USB Dock Charger + Battery for HTC P3700 Touch Diamond" sold by ahkin2006 (Hong Kong).
It looks like a dock where you can load your extra battery or your diamond... sounds great...
Has anyone tested this ?
thx
Vinz
Just wonder USB cradle for Touch Pro might charge the extended battery (1340 mAh) of Touch Diamond, but the device might a bit slimmer to sit into the cradle. Perhaps to put some cushion on the cradle (back side of the slot) might fit the Diamond stands in the slot for synchronizing and charging. Since Diamond and Touch Pro are almost the same in size only the thickness is different. The extended battery of Diamond is the default battery comes with Touch Pro.
bought this one
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370077755580
cheap and nice. Came with scratch but not visible cause on the back and black.
The ones off eBay from HK are great...I got two - one for home and work
Mind you, will only fit the standard phone & back cover. Extended cover for larger battery is a no fit!!
Is there any docking station that actually holds the Diamond also with the 1340 mAmp battery and - slightly larger - cover ?
Thanks in advance.
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
Dock
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?
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.

Could you post a link to the dock, please.
Do u have a case on ur desire?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
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.

Clingo + Desire (S) in case = a lot of juggling

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.

I bought the Amazon one and am the second reviewer of it. The one thing I forgot to mention is how bright the LED is. It literally lit up my room at night and I could walk around as if I had a nightlight on. I cover it with electrical tape and problem solved. I also edited that review.

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.

I mean the OEM charging dock by HTC
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.

Looks interesting and is cheap price wise.

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...
