htc one x dock - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

When are we going to see one for the att version? you would think there would be one released on the same day as the phone with the charging tabs built right into the phone.

Found this one but it costs more than I am willing to spend. Looks good though

Be careful, the AT&T version is the XL and the pogo pins are not in the same place. The international HOX accessories that use the pins won't line up correctly.

Cool thanks for the tip. They should be more clear about for what phone it is for.

If you're dead set on getting the dock, contact them and make sure it's compatible with the AT&T version and let us all know!

go to att.com its on their accessory page along with the media link and battery bank.

Only saw a car dock on the accessories page but no desktop cradle like for the international version. A link would be nice

I bought the Hyperion USB dock and have used it for a few days. It's works fine as expected, but even the slimmest of cases must come off for the device to fit.
Also, to my disappointment, it cannot put the phone into dock mode. It seems as though only the docks using the pogo pins will be able to do that.

thats not true. it has to do with the usb connection not the dock itself.

Is there a dock that does this?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

It's almost certainly either a magnet sensor or NFC sensor that triggers the dock mode - the car kit doesn't even use the pogo pins, but will trigger the car mode app. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the cable, either - the one that comes with the car kit doesn't appear to be anything more than a normal cable with an end molded to fit in the dock.
EDIT: Just ran the magnet I have across my phone with no success, so the Mototrola method is not likely how it works. Some Samsungs use NFC, so it could still be doing that.

The car mode is built into the USB cable using a special resistance on the usb cable with a small standard resistor.
- Dan

10k ohm works good for me
Do like in "penguin.cz/~utx/hardware/HTC_car_dock/" this instruction, but for our phone resistor must be ~ 10k ohm.

many docks do not have it built into it. I found this out when i purchased a dock for my galaxy note that "enabled dock mode" when used, however for me it didn't work. I found out that the issue was that i was not using the cable that came with it, instead i was using my own cable (it was pre routed which is why). After some testing i found that the cable did indeed make the difference. As far as i know i have not found any docks for the one x that have that built into the dock itself, the 2 that i did find, both relied on the cable still.

It's crap like this that's a double punch to the nuts. Why couldn't they just have made it the same pin design?

HTC needs to get their act together...
I love having docks.
It makes my life so much easier having one at the office next to my bed, I dont get the point of making phones with the pins if they are going to take a year to release a dock that uses them (slight exaggeration). Its a joke that the international one has it and not Rogers/AT&T... ugh

Yeah... any information on if / when this stupid dock is going to be out for the US would be nice.
I know it sounds dumb, but this is one of the reasons I bought the phone.

It's not. That link explicitly states it's not compatible with AT&T's model.

ezestand for Mytouch

I was looking for a simple dock that could let me set my phone on my bedside table to act as an alarm and charge, and I came across this guy that might do the trick...
-- I can't post links, apparently, but a google search for "ezestand" will bring it up --
Have any of you tried it? It looks like it could be great, but I also have a feeling that the usb port on the phone will be blocked by the support portion of the stand. In the websites FAQ, they mention that another phone (the HTC droid incredible) could not be supported without shifting it off to the side, due to the location of the usb port. I have no experience with that phone, but I get the impression that the mytouch 4g would have the same issue. Does anybody here have experience with the incredible, and could you compare its usb port location to that of the mytouch?

I do agree with you there. It is pricey.
The ezestand is universal so it should fit a wide variety of phones. For roughly $13 I would say give it a try and report back here with a review and your thoughts.
I have a really strong feeling that it won't work, but that is not going to stop us from getting the info. There is a member of the t-mobile forums who bit the bullet and bought one. Their "shipping department" (probably the same one person that runs every other department) is closed until January second, so they are not going to get the dock for a while. If I find anything out from that member, I will post it here too.
Great. Will keep a look out for it.
You could place the phone in the dock with the USB port facing up (buttons to the left).

I had not noticed that. The clock app does indeed seem to rotate when you put it into its simpler modes (that only show the time), but it does not rotate in the normal position. That is not really a big deal, though, so this is definitely a possible solution. Thanks!

Micro usb port on the HOX

Is anyone elses micro USB port a little wiggly?... By the way im talking about the port on the actual phone itself. I mean it charges fine and everything but it wiggles just the slightest bit. Is this normal?

Ahh. I think ill just have to live with it because this was my second replacement for dead pixels and its near perfect. You can't wiggle it the slightest?
Mine is actually quite tight as well. My two Atrix devices had loose ports but my Galaxy Nexus one was solid. This HOX is actually VERY tight though, which I'm happy about.
They can loosen over time and I'd much rather have one that's more firm than not.
Mine is rock solid with the new charger but if I plug in my old charger cord it is a bit loose and wiggly...

Because phones are smaller? Mini USB had the same problem. If you suck at putting a cord in it will naturally loosen over time.

Which Dock? / Show Us Your Dock

I'm on the lookout for a nice dock for my One XL (ATT One X). Are there any available yet that use the pogo pin contacts on the back?
If not, WHY NOT :silly:
Anyone else have a nice looking dock? Feel free to post pics or links.
Thanks :good:
Only the official HTC charger uses the pogo pins I think - http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=230289&phone=229814
Would be nice to see a car charger that uses them too!
Yea, that's for the International one X, and the pogo pins are offset by a few mm
Like you said, the pogo pins don't line up, and we can't expect one that fits with our phone anytime soon.

Did you already receive yours and test it? It looks very similar to another one that's white that doesn't work on our phones. But it does show a Nexus 4 on it charging so I am not sure. Just want to make sure some one has tested it since there are a few that have known issues. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeap, I got mine today and it really works very very good. For some reason it seams that it charges the phone really fast...i will make a test of how much it takes to full charge a a phone to %100 because it really feel faster than a regular wall charger

yes thanks, you can get the app to log this info with the screen off so you can see how much current the charger is pushing. Go into settings and check the Log Option and the app will save it to file. Turn off the screen and let the phone charge for 15mins and check the log file.
Anybody knows what its normal battery current for any Qi Wireless?? I looked at the Nokia and it says Charger input current: 300 mA
Charger output current: 750 mA ... what is the input current and the output current if somebody knows???
there's no standard output for Qi chargers, the better ones will output around 8-1000mah. Around 700mah is enough to charge the phone slowly with the screen on. The stock usb charger you get with the N4 is rated for 1200mah but averages around 900mah.

This is great that there are Chinese knock offs for this industry. Hopefully, that means there is enough market in this area for the phone manufacturers to further integrate in their future releases, significantly driving down costs. While this is a nice to have, I cant's justify the value of a wireless charger for my lifestyle where I use three chargers. While I may not the "typical" user, it doesn't make sense to spend upwards of $136 on chargers, especially since this is a highly developing technology that's likely to change by the time I would need another phone in 12-24 months. I'd be interesting to see how many people one vs multiple chargers with their smartphones. I'll be interesting to see what happens to the future of wireless charging. Some things that currently exist already look like significant improvements: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/10/wireless_charging/
but I digress...
How is the quality? Would you say it feels more solid or plastic?

Btw the braided cable i got doesn't charge more than 1.1 amps. The thicker cables typically will allow full amp draw.
Often times the cheapest cables will end up working perfectly, so don't have any fear there. The phone has a charge controller and will recognize any problems with the cable and prevent flow to the battery.
