Dock for sensation

Anyone know if there is an official/unofficial dock for the sensation?

I saw one on expansys. It's £18 though...

I just bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140554422641

Im going to buy this one.

I have a dock for my D1 and i love it!
Does the S4G have the same magnet activator used to auto enable driving mode and alarm clock mode, like my D1 has?
Do any of these docks activate this?

Anybody know if there's a desk cradle/dock that allows the thing to stand up vertical?
There was a nice HD2 cradle that could be swung between portrait and landscape. I hope something similar is made for the Sensation.

Have a look at clingo...
Not very expensive and lots of options (car, desk)

Is there an official htc one available yet? I saw on an htc help page where it says "if you purchased the htc dock then...." But don't see it on their accessory store yet.

*edit* post this was referring to was deleted.

There is an official htc dock, htc ref CR S940, shown at http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-cr-s490-desktop-cradle-for-htc-sensation-p29991.htm for the UK
Not available yet but it's on the way

nice. these things need to come out already.

Plenty of nicer docks will be coming with time.
Once enough Sensations sell, 3rd party accessory makers will be throwing more nice docks and other things at us than we can handle.

I ordered the one off expansys but it's not released for another month and change. So I may just order a cheapie ebay one for the office or home for now to get me through lol

Phonejoy!

Finally received my phonejoy in the mail today and man oh man is it freaking sweet.
PhoneJoy + Sensation 4G + ARHD 3.6.12 + N64oid + MHL + 42" TV = Godlike
Playing Diddy Kong Racing, SSMB and Zelda 64 from my phone is super super fun.
I managed to convince my fiance to order a phonejoy also so we can play some two play stuff on N64 like Diddy Kong Racing.
We were both amazed by the quality.
Who has a two thumbs and loves phonejoy *points to self* This guy!

I thought these didn't work on HTC phones due to the bluetooth stack they use not supporting them?
Was it easy to pair etc?

They are using the standard Bluetooth protocol RFCOMM which unlike the L2CAP protocol (which is used by Playstation 3 controllers for instance) can be used in theory with any mobilephone that supports Bluetooth. This means that even Samsung and HTC devices running their stock rom support Phonejoys.

Installation instructions are on that website too, seems easy enough to get it up and running.
I'd prefer the real PS3 controller but since I'm too used to sense I'll probably have to get one of these in the future...

What is this phone joy?

Nope it works just fine. You use Bluez-IME and emulate the Phonejoy as a keyboard.
I'm loving it right now.

How long did it take u to revive it? 1-2 week's ?

Just got mine 2 days ago.
Confirmed it works flawlessly with Bluez-IME.
So far tested it successfully with the following:
All the yongZH EMU's (-oid series)
MAME4all
FPSE
PCE
GTA 3
Using Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.5.5

If you already own a PS3 controller or would want to buy one there is this application.
I haven't confirmed it to work on the Sensation Yet, but i do use it on my Asus Transformer, its pretty cool. I will test later

Sixaxis won't work with Sensation due to wonky Bluetooth stack.

Yeah it won't work, but if you really want to test it yourself there is a free app on google play that just let's you test the connection to a ps3 controller

For docking I think the only thing that work would be the new Philips Fidelio series. But I am not sure how they fare so far. But because of the side dock of our phones, I don't think this would be ideal.
So you are left with just external speakers that plug into the 3.5mm headphone port. Not ideal, but best sound IMO.
But if you are looking for wireless, the Jambox by Aliph (Jawbone) works quite well.

Yeah, I might look into the jam box! Thanks

Ive had this one for a few months now. Very happy with it. Works with any other Bluetooth device also. There's a bunch of different models available. The higher end one had a remote and built in battery.

Here's the higher end one. There's also two other models. Phillips is the only brand that makes android speaker docks at the moment.

[SUGGEST] Buying my first Android!

Hello everybody,
I will buying my first android very soon and my budget is of INR 25,000 = 451.811 USD = 358.611 EUR
The prices are to be considered for unlocked devices.
Requirements:-
I would prefer ICS on it. It won't matter wether it comes preloaded or an update would be available afterwards.
It should have a front facing camera as now it is a requirement for me.
If possible suggest dual core smartphones.
The back camera should be minimum of 5 Mega-pixel with flash.
I would also prefer such phones which have developer community support.
It is preferable to have phones of Sony, HTC or Samsung as I don't trust other companies much.
My List:-
Sony Xperia P
I have heard it is a good phone but it's battery life may be shorter & I have also heard that due to the new white pixel techonlogy of Sony battery life is not a big problem as it consumes less power.
HTC Sensation
It is great phone but it was released last year and I have heard so may issues relating to it such as Death grip, unresponsive touch screen, poor battery life, improper viewing angles.
Suggestions are welcome but please see to it that it meets my list of requirements.

Sorry mate.
Post updated. Actually I use currency converter plugin that caused the problem while posting.

If that's the Indian rupee, $448 can get you a SGS3 if only it were available in India.. there's always buying it somewhere online and having it shipped to your country as an option.
If not, there's the Galaxy Nexus that I would recommend second.
I'd never recommend an HTC, due to in part that sense is nonsense. What's the point of going to a dev community with a sense phone if the #1 motif will be REMOVING Sense? Lol. I'd avoid HTC altogether. The beats by dre sound is a joke, just overpowered bass. Get Samsung, then combine it with voodoo sound.
Don't make the mistake of getting an SGSII though.

What about the HTC One like was suggested? From everything I've read it looks amazing (great screen, great camera). Then again, idk of that falls into the price range either.

Thanks for reply mate. +1

You mean One S? In India it's available for above 25K and one V don't have secondary cam which is a requirement for me.

The phone is nice mate but I find it's screen pretty big. A tablet would rather be a better choice then.

How about Sensation XE?

sry dude but samsung galaxy/note series are the best devices with android ICS...

Any of the Dre Beat headphones/ control talk work with HOX?

Does anybody know whether or nor the ibeats, or beat tours etc, with control talks work for the one x? And before anyone says don't waste your money, I love the sound. So just curious. I'm trying to find the original urbeats by dre. Hard to find. I had them for my rezound. But sold them. I found some on ebay. But weary if they are fake..thanks.

AT&T tmobile and sprint have the solo and the urbeats that work on htc and most android phones. Also if you already have solo or studio I know where get the android cable pm for it
If this helped give thanks

Don't waste your money
Seriously, there are MUCH better sounding cans for a fraction of the price. Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Grado, AKG, even the B+W P5s (which I own and love) all have FAR better sound than Beats. If you wanna go in ear then every IEM from Shure is the best at its respective price point. I just got these buds from Yuin that for $40 sound unbelievable for ear buds. Seriously, forget the name and BS status symbol and actually check out what else is out there, you'd be surprised at what good sound actually sounds like because Beats is most definitely not it. Beats is not about sound quality, never was.

The ibeats and beats tour does not work on one x but the urbeats which is ibeats with android control talk and htc beats solo does work on the one x. They can be found at a sprint AT&T and tmobile store. If you own a solo or studio already and just need the cable pm I know where to buy it

ControlTalk & HOX
I'm a fan of Beats series so the straight answer is only the ControlTalk remote with 1 button works as of right now. I have the Studio for work and it's one button works just fine for answer/end call as well as play/pause/skip/rewind (1 tap for the two, two/three taps for the latter).
Unfortunately the my Beats Tour doesn't seem to be supported. I also picked up this device from AT&T and they have Beats everywhere but notice the Tour or PowerBeats are nowhere to be seen. It's really unfortunate the hardware doesn't support the volume buttons. I jumped ship from the iPhone so I find this a bit dissapointing but you can always pickup "Headset Button Controller"which won't enable the volume buttons but at least a long press can cycle through the volume in steps. Good enough for me.
