I'm trying to find a perfect solution for a "car music/nav" system in my car.
I was CLOSE with the samsung epic... see picture:

However when you route audio through it the sound gets changed into horrible noise. It's a hardware defect and it's no good.
Now I've almost got it with the 7 inch htc flyer, except there's no horizontal dock AND the MHL adapter cable wont let you charge it at the faster AC rate.
Can anyone locate a product like this:
- Horizontal docking option (like the evo 3d)
- Dock MUST include AUDIO out
- Dock must be able to charge at the AC rate, not the USB rate
- Real GPS inside
- Wifi
- Preferably be no less than a 4 inch screen
- When routing Audio through dock it must not be degraded to changed in ANY form (aka samsung epic dock)
That's all I ask for. is it really that hard to find this elusive product??[/QUOTE]
wonder if the NOTE would do this

Hi all,
Thinking of picking up a used phone to replace my girlfriend's battered and bruised handset, she is on Verizon.
Here's the usage...
- Heavy texting so needs a HW qwerty Keyboard.
- Tough - she can kill technology from 30ft with mind bullets
- Web browser, something actually usable like Opera would be great
- Camera
- Storage & player for music and 3.5mm jack for headphones
Thanks for any suggestions.
Go for Touch Pro 2
no 3.5mm jack but an adapter can be used

She'll kill that thing in seconds, I have a Touch Pro and I have to keep it away from her lol. She drops her phone on average once a day I think he he he.

maybe then something without a touchscreen as dropping touchscreen phones is a big killer

I dont think the Rose is available in the US
I have my stereo hooked up with an audio cable in the back with a 3.5 out. Hooked up to my desk dock to it and usb car charger, and you are set. You can hide it and never bring it out. You can also get a double usb car charger (Griffin makes one) and have one for the dock, that's put away and the other on your phone.
FYI: skinned phones will not dock due to connectors.
You can see video on youtube title:
"My Nexus One Desk Dock Used In My Truck Bluetooth" (copy & paste without the quotes)
Sorry, I can't link cause of my old/new account.
Any questions please ask.
Yeah it is a good way to set it up isn't it.
I did the same in my VW Golf.

I also have the Car Dock as well. So I use the Desk Dock for media audio and the Car Dock to look after charging, phone audio and Navigation. the two devices play well together as you would expect.
The original post explaining how I did it is at Using Desk Dock to provide Aux Hack
Good Job Man.. That is an awesome set-up.
Hi,
I wanted to share a photo of probably fake HTC charger:

Could anyone show me how original looks like ? Because this one above makes really nasty touch screen interference on my i9000
I too have got this charger, I got it from amazon and this is I think the 4th item I have got from them that I suspect to be counterfeit. Mine gets really hot and smells like the components are burning inside. I do have a original charger the same style but I'm reluctant to take it apart, I can confirm that it is very different looking, also the plug section should twist to come of and be replaced by euro or US adapers I suspect. I also get unresponsive touch screen while charging too.
Sorry for posting in such an old thread. I have a very similar fake charger. Mine was marked "For Samsung", despite being an imitation of an HTC charger. I'm also having problems with it (calls end unexpectedly while charging and music stops playing after a few seconds).
Can you show the rear of your charger's PCB, please?
Thanks in advance.
I searched, but did not find much so reaching out to y'all.
I have a stock unrooted Nexus S. I cant find a car dock that will redirect audio through the USB. Here is what I'm wanting to do if it is at all possible.
Im coming from a Samsung Captivate. I have a car dock that charges and routes audio out the dock. Basically, all sounds, calls, notifications, nav, pandora, etc would be heard via my car speakers.
Now, with the captivate, I had to use a app called Dock Sound Redirect. That app is not compatible on the stock Nexus ROM or kernel.
Im willing to root, no plans though on any custom roms yet. Waiting to see how the stock ICS is first
So, the hardware Im using is pictured below. Its basically a male micro usb to female micro usb and 3.5 mm
Looking now for thoughts on how to make this so I can build my dock

Hi all,
I'm considering / planning an android project to upgrade my car stereo system/screen, and I need your opinion regarding an aspect.
So as for today, my car has an old school stereo and an old school screen that displays basic information, and I'm wondering if I can remove these two modules, and replace them with a single android device that will provide same functionality.
The following picture shows the desired transformation:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as you see in the upper picture, lower part of the dash has the stereo, and above it is the screen,
I'm sure that an android device can fully replace the original stereo and provide same functionality.
As for the car's original screen, this is the tricky part for me. This screen shows information such as the configured AC temperature, AC fan speed, fuel consumption etc. and I'm wondering if there is anyway to develop some android application to read all of this data and display them on the new android device?
anybody done something similar?
Thanks.
