IBolt Charging Car Dock - HTC One S

I've been shopping around for a good car dock for the one-s for a while, and am feeling excited about this little guy:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/ibolt-charging-car-dock-htc-one-s.html
Anyone have one? What are your thoughts? I need something that will let me keep my diztronic case on and still charge the phone, this looks like the best option...
Edit: it looks like there are a few reviews on the vendors site stating that this just the one x dock repackaged

Looks really nice. A little pricier than I'd like, but looks really good.

All, I am with iBOLT. The HTC One S is the same Dock as the one for the X, that is correct. It works perfect but there's a 3-4 mm open space once inserted on the left side as the S is smaller then the X. The functionality is the same, it starts the car mode with the very good HTC car dock application but we are hearing that many are using CarHome Ultra as well since this app has more flexibility, although possible not as nice looking.
With regards to Aux-out it is correct that this Dock does not work like the iBOLT Galaxy S III Dock with integrated charging/aux-out from the microUSB cable. This is because there's no technical way of taking the aux out from the microUSB connection on the HTC platform. We wish it was since this feature has been incredibly popular on the S III. If your car-stereo features a 3.5 mm jack I would recommend the HTC Bluetooth dongle for Streaming Audio unless it can be done over the BT system.
Hope these comments helps...

I've been thinking about buying one of these but I'm confused. Someone said "no audio out" and you're saying if my car has a 3.5 mm jack get a Bluetooth dongle.
You can access the jack for the headphones when the phone is in the dock correct like shown in this picture (4)? Because I use the headphone jack for audio out. Will the dock work for me?

Yes, the iBOLT Dock can be charged from your USB in your car. You just have to have a microUSB to USB cord, which comes with any car charger that separates the cord from 12 volt charging plug itself.

Yes, the Dock will work if you connect an aux-out cable from the phone itself to your 3.5 mm jack on the car-stereo. This will transfer all sounds from applications, including the ring signal for incoming phone calls to the car-speakers. However, you must pair and use a Bluetooth device (headset, speaker phone, built-in system etc.) for making and receiving phone calls. If you are not connecting to a Bluetooth device for phone calls the audio will be routed to the car-stereo but as there is no microphone on the aux cable so the other party will not be able to hear you. Hope this makes sense?

HTC Official Desktop Cradle

In case you didn't know, they are in stock at the moment on the HTC site (supplied by Expansys), received mine this morning and it looks awesome, compliments the TD perfectly
Novelty wears off fast though.
Tell you the truth, when I recieved mine I couldnt help feeling a little... ripped off.
Anyhow, ive noticed a bug with the Diamond when docked in a cradle or otherwise.
If someone calls you and the phones in the cradle, if you pull it out and hit the answer soft key it always rejects the call.
Will check tonight to see if that happens and true, it is an expensive piece of kit but still looks nice
got mine the other day, felt robbed, they didnt even have the decency to another mini usb to usb lead, i know one comes in the box but i use that for the charger.
whats the sound quality like?
Do we get this in India ???
Did anyone connect it to an audio system through the audio output ?

I don't know, do you?
What I don't like about it is you have to use both hands to release the phone. You can't just lift it out of the cradle with one hand. Otherwise it looks good and sits nicely next to all my other phone docks/cradles
I've got a Nokia 5310 in a JBL speaker dock which also has a line in. I've connected the HTC cradle audio output in to the JBL dock and play stream internet radio using Resco Radio. It's good enough for a bit of quiet background music.
bad quality sound music and voice on cradle
hello
plz help me
i have touch diamond and buy CR G3OO GENERIC DESKTOP CRADLE for lissening of music by high qulity by using 3.5 streeo jack to my ampilefire but
when i connect my headphon or other thing such as speaker to 3.5 streeo jack on rear of the stand voice and music are very bad quality like that when using defaulte streeo headset on diamond pack but when using bluetooth streoo headphone music is very good quality how can use high quality whit 3.5 jack on my stand or my default headset on diamond?
plz help me tanx
@mmf
I have exactly the same problem (although I haven't tried bluetooth headsets). I think that the simple answer is that whatever hardware in the diamond converts the sound for headphones/lineout via the USB is just of poor quality. It doesn't have anything to do with the stand itself. I have tried running the lineout through my computer's soundcard, which sounded bad.
I have also tried listening through my Shure e3 headphones via a converter attached to the usb connector.
Both were unimpressive, but I doubt that there is anything that can be done.
i got this one for free when i bought my phone ! Unfortunatelly they were out of stock and I am still waiting to receive it
Ithink i'll wait till they'll go down to a decent/ reasonable price

Just to let you know that while I'm coding at work I listen to music all day on my Diamond using the official HTC adaptor (YC A200) with my 3.5mm Sony Headphones plugged in.

ActiveSync, Charging and listening to music all at the same time work fine - no noticable interferance or sound quality probs. The thing about the YC A200 is that the short cable that goes from the phone to the expansion box is really wide and not very flexible. I figure there must be a good amount of shielding in there to prevent the power feed from interfering with the audio.
I sometimes also plug it into the line-in in my car and seems fine.
I notice that the YC A300 is coming out shortly - but I don't know what is better about it? The specs look the same?

Was that from devicewire by any chance? Mine was the same - and my free dock arrived today... almost 3 months after I purchased the Diamond!!
Nice looking piece of kit... but excessively large if you ask me. My previous iPhone dock was about 1/5th of this size and did the same job! Just takes up extra space on my desk!

is the dock really worth getting? it has a huge price tag on it
@ Addicteddddd
The dock is purely for aesthetics and charging ease: it has no technical features.
@mmf
Yesterday I flashed my ROM for the first time from stock 1.37WWE to a recent cooked one. The audio problems were fixed. The diamond now sounds as it should, and I thoroughly recommend you to do the same.

Just click on "Get your phone". The price is $45. Overnight shipping with Fedex is $10, but Ground is free. Tax came out to a little over $3 for me.
Well that was a good catch. Nice :}
Awesome, can't wait!
Are you kidding me? The dock won't have rca built into it?
Instead an adapter is included? what the balls....
Why would they put a headphone jack on a dock for something that already has a headphone jack?
This is gonna be like the home dock for the droid. A glorified usb cable.
so two people can listen to music after all it is a social friendly phone!
The point to a dock is once you put it in you are done. Think of a laptop dock. Sure your laptop has an ethernet port, power port, and usb but it's alot easier to just put it in the dock and go.
But, unless the dock does video I probably won't be getting it. The car dock I'll probably get though.
an audio jack would be awesome and something i was looking for for the G1 originally, but no..., i want to charge the phone and at the same time listen to the music on it.
yes, Nexus One has a separate audio jack on top, but who wants to have a Nexus One sitting in the cradle and a cable goes out of its top all over the table to the speakers? cable out of cradle to speakers
perfect

+1 man... I want to be able to plug it into my stereo to stream Pandora, etc., or to put it on my nightstand and use my phone as my alarm clock/weather center/news station.
I thought about waiting for the dock but decided to buy a generic mount(kensington). Partly because I already have a bluetooth speaker to put in my car that can also go over fm. Also judging by the picture I won't get horizontal video recording, only vertical. Seeing that I like to record my car trips, this doesn't help me any.
Being that google would have to make this dock for everyones car I think the device will hook up to the phone and transmit itself to the car via bluetooth or FM, (not everyone's car has bluetooth or a usb connection) and just power off the cars lighter, everything will go over the cars speaker system unless the dock has a speaker in it(doubt it). And I wouldn't put my trust into the phones speaker while its facing the windshield. Also I don't like talking to someone if the dock will be transmitting over FM, that means anyone else listening on the station you are using will be listening in on you. That of course is assuming the dock doesn't have a speaker itself.
edit. Just realized this is for the Desktop Dock, not the car dock. D'oh
Ive just noticed the dock on sale at www.google.com/phone.
$45! Im in the UK and was going to buy it, but they want another $30 for delivery, might just wait for the car dock so I can order both and save on postage!
EDIT::
It now seems to of disappered :s

It does stream music via bluetooth. When you first use the dock, it automatically pairs with your phone. If you have the phone hooked up to your stereo, it streams music via bluetooth to the dock, and into the stereo.
I just checked the User Guide pdf that you can download by clicking "Learn More" under the Dock on the purchase page. See link below:
http://www.google.com/googlephone/nexusone-desktopdock.pdf
Edit: Anyone think the price will come down on this at all? I was kind of hoping for a landscape dock, but I'm digging this.
I don't think the price (which is not bad) will come down anytime soon from google. Also, would like a landscape dock but this does look very cool
I, for one, am very pissed the way the bluetooth is setup in the dock. When people first caught wind of the fcc filings for the dock and realized the dock had bluetooth, people were confused. It was thought that the dock would connect to a bluetooth stereo of sort, that way you can just slip it in and it would all work.
I have a little bluetooth stereo and this situation would be ideal, but that's not the case...
I'm just having a tough time understanding how this is supposed to work? I have to manually connect to my bluetooth stereo every time I want to use it now, I don't really want my phone connected to my dock when it's not in it. The user guide doesn't really specify exactly how this is going to work. Can someone who gets this confirm it?
omg do want! Gotta wait to get it imported to Aus though :/ c'mon eBay!

Why do you need to connect your dock to a stereo via bluetooth if you can do that right from your phone? And not everybody have wireless audio at home. So I think it's a good idea when the dock is connected to your home stereo (even via wires) and you streaming your music wirelessly to the speakers through the dock.
I am also interested can I pair this dock and my laptop, so that I can stream wireless music not only from the phone, but from laptop too?
Dock doesnt do data either.
Weird little dock. Was hoping for a landscape model. Dont like this.

my phq works fine with usb-otg adapter, i can read some usb flash disk that i have.
but as far as i know, when usb-otg adapter connected, the phone will give voltage/power to the USB device.
at this point i have doubt about phq + the multimedia dock.
reason being is the dock provide USB connection and at the same time (I assume) it provide charging power to the phone.
this is conflicting as if the USB port means to connect to other devices (keyboard/mouse) as USB-OTG, then at the same time phone try to give power + get power from the charger. this may damage the phone.
but i may be wrong as i don't have the dock.
the dock mentioned by the OP is quite cheap on [email protected], i think i'll grab one. thx for sharing

Hi!
I thought so myself. After buying one from ebay I can say it dose NOT fit. First: the hdmi pin on the dock is turned by 180 degrees.
After fixing that by removeing the complete hdmi pin from dock I could test the fit. The Q is to large for the dock. It will fit uneaven if tried with serious force. I did not want to damage the usb port on my q for a worse 'fitting' dock...

I know its been over a half a year since you asked and no one replied but I figured maybe you would still appreciate a response. There seem to be two dock modes: Desk (what you call bedside) and Car. Motorola made an official dock for this phone which put it into car mode however it seemed to have been pretty limitedly available when it was out and is now discontinued; thanks for abandoning us Moto. I cant even seem to find it listed on amazon used which is annoying as I have one I want to sell off (hint hint).
It has a special USB cable that goes with it that has an audio out cable down at the end where it plugs into the car charger so you dont have to plug a headphone cable into your phone to get audio out to your stereo, worked quite well when my phone was still alive.
I also have one of these droid 3 desk docks mentioned here that I need to find a good home for now.

car charger cable with usb audio out

I just upgraded from a galaxy s3 to the new s4. The one thing that's really bothering me is that a cable I've used in my car with the s3 isn't working with the s4.
The cable plugs into the usb jack on the phone, and the other end splits into a usb jack that I plug into my charger, and into an audio jack that goes into the aux. in of my car stereo. With my s3, all I had to do was plug in my phone, and it would go into car dock mode, routing audio out through the cable.
The cable doesn't seem to work with my s4. I already checked the box in settings to play audio over usb when in dock mode, but the phone doesn't go into dock mode when plugged into the cable like the s3 did.
Is my phone defective, or did they change something in the s4? How can I get this to work again? Is there an updated cable I need to buy?
in advance for any help!
breasume fogy
the s3 and s4 have different specs in regards to that issue...sorry I dont know the technical terms to help elaborate but no it will not work the same way. I had the same issue with my ibolt dock for the s3 not working with my s4.

I was really disappointed by that! I have searched and been unable to locate a cable that does what the $7 cable I used with my S3 did. I found another *possible* solution. I ordered this from Amazon:
AUDI 99-10 GROM Android USB interface adapter VAGM
This is specific to my car, but they make them for lots of vehicles. If it doesn't work, I'll return it and keep trying. I'll update this thread next week to let you guys know if it works.
In the meantime, if anyone else has a simple, one-cable solution to both charge and play audio from the phone in a car, let me know!
Ibolt now has the ibolt xprodock which works the same way but also gives you the option to mount it to your windshield or dash and use as a gps which I like

I just got my S4 and I've been considering the iMagnet mount. I thought that with the simplicity of just "snapping" it onto the mount, and with the problems people seem to be having with combined audio/usb cables, it would be great if I could find a bluetooth audio solution (there's a thread about it out there). It would be so cool to just pop the phone onto the magnet, start the car, and have bluetooth audio flowing through my car without having to attach anything to anything.

You'd still have to plug it in to charge though, if you're using the phone while driving (navigation, pandora, etc.) That's why the solution I had with my S3 was so great. Just pop the phone onto the magnet mount, and plug in the USB. I got audio and charging with just that one cable. I'm looking to do that again with the S4.
Yeah, I know I'd still have to plug it in to charge. Thing is, mostly I just drive to and from work, so my phone is charging while I'm at home and while I'm at work, and even though I have a charger in the car, there's not a HUGE need to always be charging.
My iBolt pro dock works great! I haven't tried my iBolt dock(original), nor have I tried custom roms with either for the s4 ( i'm comming from a S3 running LiquidSmooth. I've had audio out issues with other roms)

Thanks for the feedback! Can I ask you a question about the dock? If I were to order it, would I be able to separate the cable from the dock, and use just the cable? Again, I'm really happy with my iMagnet dock, but I want the cable to function like it used to with my S3.
Thanks!
I'm not sure you meant to quote me? I don't actually have the dock. Maybe you meant to quote cogcaviz24?

Oops, you're right. Thanks! I edited my post.
Yesterday I pulled the cable I was using in my car out, and put back the separate charger and headphone jack so that I can listen to music from my phone in my car. It looks so messy and is a hassle with two cables! Hopefull the Grom Audio adapter I ordered works!
I'll let everyone know.
Bit of a thread revival, but I have this problem in my car as well. I have a possible solution that I'm going to try in the morning, but I think it might have something to do with the fact that the GS4 automatically mounts as a "Media Device", whereas my previous phone would mount as a "USB Mass Storage Device".
I just installed an app that allows the GS4 to mount as a USB storage device, so I'm going to try running that tomorrow and see if that helps. I'll report back soon.

I was really disappointed by that! I have searched and been unable to locate a cable that does what the $7 cable I used with my S3 did. I found another *possible* solution. I ordered this from Amazon:
AUDI 99-10 GROM Android USB interface adapter VAGM
This is specific to my car, but they make them for lots of vehicles. If it doesn't work, I'll return it and keep trying. I'll update this thread next week to let you guys know if it works.
In the meantime, if anyone else has a simple, one-cable solution to both charge and play audio from the phone in a car, let me know!

As promised, I wanted to give a review of this device. It works!
It was a bit of a hassle to set up, so if anyone has questions, let me know. It's all hard-wired now though, so I plug my phone into the USB cable, and it charges and passes audio through to the car stereo. The one really nice thing is that with the old USB to USB/ audio splitter that I had, there was some hiss/background noise. This new setup has none of that. It sounds great!
Again, if anyone orders one, let me know and I'll give you some pointers. The instructions weren't great, and it was a hassle to get it working.

Charge and listen to music via 3.5mm headphones at the same time?

I want to know the current state of charging and listening to music via 3.5mm headphones at the same time. Does OnePlus have a official and good adapter for this?
Thank you.
I got one of these from Aliexpress, arrived within 2 weeks, listed as £5.52, I thing I paid for it in dollars, using a fee free card, for slightly cheaper:

Looks good, and works.. I mainly use Jabra wireless buds though.

Could you test with Ampere or similar app so we can see the charging current?
Sure I will try to get to that tonight

Besides slower charging, anything else?
Anyone found an adapter like this which supports Warp Charging? The specs on these say they support 5A...

FYI this is broken for many Oneplus devices after update 10.0.15 from that point forward (including beta and so called "stable" Android 11 update) this function will noot work. You can either use the 3.5mm adapter or charge not both. Very frustrating. This is combined with ongoing issues with not being able to place calls if phone switches from LTE to 3G and back up again.

No native 3.5 mm jack is a curse.
Eventually with the C port on the bottom of the phone you will likely be damage it if the 3.5mm adapter is constantly being used. Charging and using the 3.5mm together only increase the risk with another cable to watch out for.
With my N10+ it forced me to go full Apple stupid and use bt buds exclusively. Fortunately the Buds+ have the SSC codec which is similar in sound quality to LDAC. The 10+ also supports LDAC.
If the Oneplus supports the LDAC codec and you can find a suitable listening device, this is a good alternative to being hardwired in.
