[Q] Docks?

Does anyone know if there could be some docks available for this? Maybe horizontal so as to watch a movie while its charging or something similar?

Yes
I bought the $40 LG G2X Dock from T-Mobile. It's not very impressive.
It can hold your phone sideways but you need to plug in the cord to the phone instead of the dock having a built-in plug. It only has a built-in plug for vertical stance.
Also, it doesn't trigger any "Bed-Side Alarm Clock/Weather" app. Just shows the lock screen with time and alarm clock, and battery charge % status at the top.
I'd look around for third party docks. I know I will be.

Yes I guess third party docks will have to be... just dont know if they will be able to trigger the "bed-side" app.
I know this sucks on the MT3G dock that I got... it got the foryo, but the dock doesnt trigger anything, and I cant do any changes to profiles, since it has to be done when connected to the dock only.

There is no G2X Dock from T-Mobile - the only official accessories are screen protectors and a case.
Nevermind, just found them, and apparently there IS a car dock.

For vehicles, my 10$ Amazon mount works like a champ.

I didn't see the dock at the store.
I've used the dock with my Nexus One from the day it came out and I was really hoping for something similar, but without the frictionless pads it's hard to do it right.
Guess I'll just have to make a shortcut to Clock on my home screen and use that instead, or until, a "real" dock comes out.

Bought the cardock today from a t-mobile store.
It feels nice and secure inside, fits well, whole thing moves well.
Unfortunately, it's not powered or magnetized - the dock is a pretty hunk of plastic. You'll need to have some other way to launch car dock, and plug up your own power cable every time.

$34.99. Desktop is $39.99 and holds portrait or landscape, but only provides power in portrait. Not worth it imo, but car dock is.

Can u upload a picture of the car dock? I couldn't find any on eBay.

Its def magnetized. When I dock my phone, car home starts right up.

I also have the lg desktop dock. I managed to push in the USB slot in the back the first time I plugged it in. I fixed it, but the phone doesn't launch the clock app when its docked. Does anyone else have the desktop dock and have the same problem? Debating on exchanging it.

Do you have pics or a model number of this one? I haven't gone by the Tmo store yet, but I would love to see if I could find it cheaper online. Working graveyards, it's kinda hard to put aside time during the day to swing by retail places anyway.

Nevermind, found them on the T-Mo Web site... Ordering now.

Yeah, there was a piece of plastic on the metal bit on the back of my phone, didn't notice it at first, once I removed it, car dock started starting up. So it's a nice investment.
I'll take some photos of the car dock right now, brb.

It's really pretty nice, I'd say it's well worth the $35, even if it's unpowered.

Craigsdocks.com/Portrait Version mini review

He does sell a landscape version as well.
The reason why I preferred to get this is because:
1. They are pretty customized for the Thunderbolt and the creator confirmed that it could be used for the Sensation because of the adjustable dock adapter he created.
2. I can use this with any case I finally decide on and can be adjusted accordingly with the removal and reapplication of 3m double sided tape and an adjustment of the hex screw.
3. They are cheaper than OEM and not from overseas

In use! Low bandwidth no need to view lol...
If you want more screenshots let me know lol...
This custom dock originally sold for the HTC Thunderbolt. Upon a few emails to the fabricator (or Craig himself), he told me that this dock would work because of the customization of the side plug. I opted for the portrait version because of my limited real estate on my work desk. This dock does not trigger any dock apps, it is solely there to charge and hold and can be adjusted to whichever case your hearts content. For me that was the biggest selling point.

Update: Been using this great dock everytime I am at work and I have connected it to my front usb on my desktop. Works great. Removing and inserting the phone is smooth as you can imagine because upon install with or without a case depends on how you adjust the plug on the dock. If you ever need to adjust it, you just need to get more double sided tape which the seller happily provides. You just have to remove the old one of course and clean the tape adhesive before applying the new one.
But as of using this dock it is great for the price and not regretting it at all. If anyone is looking for an adjustable portrait or landscape dock like these, these are worth it.

mini bump
Craigsdocks.com have since made verticle, horizontal and now car cradle that can be used with the Sensation. It's a pretty cool concept. My only gripe is the double sided tape that is used to mount the car cradle, but that's personal preference.

I'm glad you bumped this up. I was going to start on my trek to find a HTC branded dock. I really like the portrait position of this unit. Plus, machined in the good ol' US of A is always a plus too!
I'm guessing it's a good idea to double sided tape the dock to your desk surface as well? Can you dock/undock with one hand?

The car dock was the thing I was referring to as the mounting point. Where some others use a suction cup thingy.
But as for the portrait dock which I have. The double sided tape is really for the positioning of the usb plug when you first install it; with or without a case. And yes I can release take it off and place it back with one hand. Only thing is that your case would need to have a mostly flat back in that case. Then you can easily remove and dock it with one hand. I only use two hands because the usb plug does grip pretty well most times lol.....
I really can't stress it enough is that you indeed get what you pay for with respects to criagsdocks.com. The dock is nice and heavy so that you can undock one handed.

Not with sense. You would have you use an alternative launcher. Adw, launcher pro, etc.
You can also stand the phone up in portrait without charging on the landscape model.

iBolt car dock/cradle for HTC One X (AT&T or Int'l) WORKS WITH CASES

I just received my iBolt HTC One X dock from www.tessco.com in the mail and I must say i'm more than pleased. I have a Seidio Surface case and it fits like it was made for it. They also included a spacer that lets me use it naked as well, i tend to flip flop between cased and naked depending on mood. I did not use the windshield mount, as I have an arm with the ball mount attached in the cubby hole on my '04 Volvo S60R. I used the OG Motorola Droid arm with the ball for my old Atrix 2 car dock, and it fit the iBolt dock just perfect. The mount is stable, and charges just fine. It even activates the car mode, i wont end up using that since it doesn't have the ability to add pandora or play music to the menu....maybe a dev can help us out with that. Here are a few links and pics.....try to spot which were taken with Atrix 2 and which were my One X .
iBolt doens't have the One X dock on their site yet, but it's very similar to the rest of their solutions.
http://ibolt.co/ibpf-33304
http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-vedicle-dock-for-htc-one-x-231844/
Tessco link for it. Expansys has it but as of tuesday it said it wouldn't ship til the 18th, and it's changed dates 5 times since it popped on their site a month ago. I just checked the link and it says ships within 5 days. I ordered from Tessco tuesday and it arrived via UPS at lunch 2 days after ordering. Comes from Baltimore, MD. The catch is you need to order a minimum of $50 or it charges a $14 surcharge. I ordered this MHL cable since i was going to buy one anyway .

I took the cubby out and used a couple of nuts and bolts. through the side. It aint pretty once you look in there, but you never see it unless you look for it. If i took the bolts out there would be two small holes in the side of the cubby that would never be noticed....unless you read this thread...lol. I have since shaved the bolts to the right length and painted them black.

very nice.

Looks good in your Volvo S60R or V70R. I picked up my HTC One X from Rogers yesterday and was looking for a car dock for my Volvo V70 T5M. Think it would work with a Ballistics case?

Got a Seido Surface case? Got mine today, it's fantastic!

It's the USB plug. If I recall correctly, they are pinned out a certain way so the phone recognizes it as a car or desktop dock. Same thing happened with my old Captivate's desktop dock, even if it wasn't powered, plugging my Cappy into it caused the desk clock to activate, setting it down on the dock but not actually making the connection did nothing.

That looks great and I might just use your cubby mod idea myself. Thanks for posting this.

Mine stays in car mode until i remove it from the dock. Only the screen dimms aftera minute or two, if I press the volume button or power button the screen comes on into car mode.

Any negative effect from Sun for phone when in car dock

I noticed the phone gets hot when it's in the windshield mount car dock, are there any negative effects from prolonged use in the sun heat? I know nav units are tested for that kind of use in the sun but I'm not too sure about our phones. I'd appreciate any feedback, don't wanna screw up my phone
Sent from my HTC One X

I know iPhones shut off when they get too hot, not sure about Android. It can damage the battery, I think, as well. Not sure what sort of advice to give, though.

Thanks for the input. Anybody else with experience using a windshield mounted dock? Maybe I should make some sort of plastic thing that clips to the dock and provides shade to the phone, something similar to this: http://www.glarestomper.com/324.html but not exactly because this one does not keep the sun from hitting the back of the unit, it's just so you can see the screen.

I would definitely worry about it. Hell, I bet most phones will overheat just fine in the shade, if you run them plugged into the charger for hours with GPS on and the screen at full brightness. Adding direct sunlight to the equation is just begging for trouble IMO.

Get a vent clip mount and then you'll have air circulating around the phone at all times! Nevermind that those kinds of mounts can be pretty shoddy and break your vents.

Actually, they are well made, solid and pretty nice material. As far as CD player, all appears fine, but on the same token, this is actually the non used factory unit. My blue tooth deck is installed below. A suction cup system on the other hand, bad placement, for me at least

Cup holder mount (depending on where exactly those are located on your car) seems less than ideal if you are using the phone for Navigation.
I use the Mountek CD slot mount same as the photo posted above (except mine is stock, [email protected] modded his to combine it with the EVO 4G LTE dock). On my car, the position is similar to the above pic, up high on the dashboard, for good viewing if using for Navigation.
If your AC is on, and the vents are anywhere close to the phone (even if not pointed directly at the phone) I wouldn't worry much about overheating the phone, even if in direct sunlight. Pretty sure the phone will shutoff if it starts to overheat. Given, its a heck of a lot sunnier and warmer in Florida than Boston, but I haven't had any issues with direct sunlight up here. Leaving something on the dash with the windows closed, and the car off is one thing. But if you're driving the car, and the AC is on, or even the windows open, I wouldn't worry that much about the temperature.

+1 to this. The Mountek mount is very well made, and works great. Most every cupholder, air vent, suction cup mount is crap in comparison. You can see from the numerous positive reviews on Amazon, many of which compared it to other mounts, and found the Mountek superior. If you don't use your CD player, its a great solution. It doesn't harm the CD player at all, aside from possibly deforming the fabric or brush "dust guard" in the slot.

I won't be using it for navigation because my hu already does have navigation. My biggest objective is to keep my device charged up and have the car mode auto switch on the Bluetooth, as well as keep my hands free and away from my device. Anyways, i will post pics of the end result once i receive my stuff in the mail. :thumbup:

Vehicle Dock Mount

HI all,
Just upgraded from a GSIII to GS4. Now I need a better fitting windshield mounting dock. For the GSIII, it was general knowledge that the AT&T Samsung INFUSE 4G dock fit the GSIII and it did for the most part. I really like the slide up into the phone style USB port, so I have no cables to fuss with. I know there's Qi charging but I am not going there just yet..
The S4 barely fits into the INFUSE dock but it takes being very gentle and very slightly bending the dock for the phone to snap in.
I am open to other ideas... suggestions?

As for your first request, I agree and wanted the same but could not find one. I have however come to appreciate the design, as that cable is stiff and holds itself in place so it's easy to pop in place, or not if its a short drive. Additionally, I've found the micro usb port on this phone is very tight and I have difficulty getting it to slip into my home dock, it has to line up exact. Lastly, with the aforementioned design of the port, it would impossible to accommodate the plethora of case size variations.
As for portrait view, that is totally doable, it rotates. Anoter neat feature is that the camera is not covered so if you desire, you can snap pics or video of that &%@$ driver in front of you.
No, I don't work for, nor am compensated by iBolt, though I should be. Just a happy customer. :beer:

I have had iBolt xProDoc for a while and I couldn't be happier. I hope it helps

The Craigsdock dock is the best I've tried. It is slim looking and has built-in charging and you can dock/undock with one hand. And it has a charger, did I mention that? Not one where you have to manually insert the charging cable like the iBolt makes you do. This is more like a very-slim-looking Infuse dock but without the audio and bulk.
You can swap out the existing cable for a USB-audio cable or anything else.
Costs a bit, but it'll last a lifetime and works with all large Samsung phones from S3 to S4 to Note II. So you don't have to upgrade your dock every time you upgrade your phone. And it also works with all the bulky cases too.
I've tried all the docks from Infuse to iBolt to generic and it's the best I've used yet.

It sounds like a ProClip might suit you well. I have been using these holders with various devices for about 10 years. I don't have my GS4 yet, so I can't comment on these ones specifically. However, I can tell you to expect a high-quality product that fits the device perfectly. Check them out:

This one's doing the trick for me, it's closest to the GS3 iBolt dock.

Hi all,
I've ordered the iBOLT xProDock. I'm sure it is fantastic and will certainly do the job. That said, it is quite expensive. This should hold me over until and if Samsung or anyone else makes a dock similar to the lovely Infuse dock with the "slide into place" USB charger.
This should also come in handy for those many times such as this that I get a new phone and am stuck without a suitable dock.

Another vote for the iBolt. Ordered it for my S3, been used for One +, One and S4. Great little system! And their support is great!

Surfing the Web a couple of days ago I come across this http://www.kickstarter.com/project...ergy-worlds-best-wireless-smartphone-charger
It seems interesting

I've been using the imagnet with the Spigen slim armor case and it's perfect. Just throw it up there and it stays perfectly. $25 on amazon.
