Desk Stand

Anyone got a decent desk stand for their trinity? I'm after one. If you can post links to where you got your that would be great. (already did a search and no luck).

you mean a cradle ?

I have got the Trinity Cradle (Not the one with a spare battery charger place) from Expansys.
Also bought the Car Kit from Expansys - Car kit is handy, esp when going to places and need the GPS to last longer.

I got mine on ebay from Hong Kong. It was very cheap but took forever to ship. I should have bought it from egadgetdepot.com, where I origianally got my Trinity.

I also bought form egadgetdepot.com my trinity and the "desk stand". It gets the work done.
You can also look at boxwave.com, their screen protectors are very good also, not as good as the ones from shieldzone.com (they dont have shields for P3600 yet)
Good luck

I have this one too and I hate it... it always turns the camera on if you put the Trinity in!

Agreed, mine turns the camera also on .... damn thing!

Anyone has this here?
http://www.expansys.at/p.aspx?i=145160&asource=P3600_DE
Does it also switch on the camera?

I'm pretty sure this one won't ....

I just got this on ebay, it came from China pretty cheap. It has 2 plugs in the back, one to charge via USB and the other is a regular plug.
Also, it has a slot on the inside so the camera button doesn't get pressed when charging. Strangely, it comes with a large stylus that goes into a hole and lights up blue.

No, I dont think so... this is the original HTC cradle... but it is quite expensive

Kidigi Deluxe Desktop Cradle?

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1184
Has anyone seen it on sale in the UK yet other than on ebay?

Looks nice. Especially when the additional battery is included.

I found an even nicer one! http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1183
Not to mention car holders - nice stuff! Unfortunately I cannot find any place to buy it from.. ???

I emailed them the other day about these, they said they'll be in the UK at the end of may at mobilefun.

Thanks for that, I will keep my eye on their site.

These look really nice, will keep an eye out for those coming on sale.

You can pre order from the site
Desire Deluxe Cradle

Man that is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicest one so far!! I love it!!

do you think the other cradle for pre order is meant to be the elegant cradle? because the stock picture doesn't look much like the one on the kidigi website

I sent an enquiry about the elegant cradle and you can buy it from 4u-mobi.com in june.

I sent the same inquiry and they responded "end of may"

Even better then! I really want one, think they look really nice.

I really like the car mounts they have for the Desire. I just wonder if they will activate the car dock mode (as in the upcoming original car mount)

Where can I find this on eBay? Searching for deluxe cradle yields no results...

it's not available for sale yet

I had one of these for my last handset (HTC S740). Different fitting but basically the same.
I used it on my nightstand to charge my phone overnight and can say the following.
It feels a bit cheap but does the job 100%. I was always able to leave the house in the morning with a fully charged phone AND a fully charged battery.
The connections are a bit odd and looking at the Desire version, nothing has changed.
The cradle has TWO USB MINI (yes Mini not Micro like the Desire has) connections. This is not a big deal as the phone plugs into the cradle and not the cradles mains charger.
One connection takes the power in and the other connects to your computer for sync. I am guessing host USB is not enough to charge the phone and a 2nd battery.
And finally, there are plenty of these on eBay for less money and looking at the delivery dates, they will get to you even from Hong Kong sooner.

Hi, have you found one of these available in the UK yet?
This is the one I want now, looks smart
(removed link because I've been a lurker and not a poster)

These are now shipping from Mobilefun, got a text this morning telling me mine had shipped. I placed the order on the 9th May.................

Has anyone received this yet? Can anyone confirm if this will hold the the phone with the flexishield?
I really like the look of this but can't imagine taking off the flexishied everytime put it on the cradle

Any other dock that uses dock pins?

I think the google desktop dock is way to expensive, as i only need it as a charger and have no need for the A2DP function.
But all the cheap dock's on ebay uses the USB connection and not the dock pins, has anybody found a cheap dock that has dock pins connection?
It's much more convenient to be able to just drop the phone in a dock instead of needing to connect the phone to a dock, and be able to use the dock mode is a plus when you use it as an alarm clock.

I was wondering the same thing, is it that hard to reproduce that? I havnt seen anything besides the usb ones either and i have heard it can screw up the usb connection of n1s so didnt want to buy one of those

Exactly the same thoughts here

does anyone have specs of which pins do what? (i.e. do you apply +5 v to pin 1, ground to pin2, etc)
i've got some ideas on a homebrew dock.

Search for the thread: "Dock Pinout"
It seams that it alot harder, that there is a binary communication in one of the pins, not just a current that tells it to go into dock mode...

Doh! delete my post haha.

Just bought an original Nexus One Desktop Dock brand new from Ebay for $15.00 . The seller has 49 more available. It arrived today and it's all original with sealed packaging. Just throwing it out there if anyone is interested.

Too bad it isn't shipped for free outside the US. Shipping costs are more than half of the costs of the dock itself :silly:

brought last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/330770220824?item=330770220824
Dock US $15.00
Shipping US $8.46 (Germany)
Thats €18,65 (a new one costs 60€ at launch day ..)

I bought the dock when I first got the nexus one. If you guys get one for cheap and want to continue using the Nexus One, go for it. I mean the phone does slide down easly if the bump against the dock. But the lack of wear on the usb connector is well worth it.

Do you mind giving any feedback on this unit? I want to buy a separate charger cause I have a spare battery and OEM dock the previous owner bought new with the phone but I want to be able to charge the spare battery without swapping back and forth from the phone. Its a real hassle. I don't want to buy a charger that ends up cooking the battery.

Official HTC Sensation CR S490 Desktop Cradle

I looked at Play.com and found the official HTC dock for the sensation.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...n-CR-S490-Desktop-Cradle/Product.html?cur=258
£23 is a bit steep for a dock. The Kidigi dock is £18 plus it has a batter charger.
Thoughts on the official dock?

I like it, always prefer to use OEM stuff than 3rd party so might look into getting this

I wonder if this is the same dock as the one on the bell site. Although the bell dock for the sensation hasn't officially launched yet either. Can anyone confirm?

Looks like there's a button on the top left corner. Says video. Perhaps this dock launches dock mode?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e

I would assume so

Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Desktop-Cradle-S490-Sensation/dp/B0055HXNI4
No button though.

I want this. I emailed HTC last week about an OEM dock and they said they couldn't provide any info.
I hope it is released in the US soon. After having the dock for my N1 for so long, I'm really missing it.

play.com says the release date is Aug 1, let's hope that the US release date is the same. I'm definitely getting one.

Wow I want two !

So... It's Aug 1st and it's out of stock on play.com. Has anyone ordered one from any place?

Don't think so. I think it's also been delayed. Just like the official HTC cases.

I would suggest to take the KiDiGi Docking station instead. Looks better to me!

I bought two cheap arse docks on fleabay for $14 shipped each. When this gets released though I'd likely switch as I'm a huge fan of OE accessories. Fit, finish, function is always much improved. You get what you pay for I suppose.

such a poor design they could of easily had the gold dots for it would of been much better

In stock now at play.com! http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...=0&searchstring=htc+sensation&urlrefer=search
Anyone going for it?
Also available here: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=219003&phone=217480

I'd highly recommend OE. The eBay units I bought (no name) made my screen freak out when plugged in. If I use my own HTC charger with the no name cradle it's ok. However, the generic cradle doesn't have nice little cutouts for the volume rocker switch so you have to be careful placing it on the dock. Overall, I'd buy an HTC unit if they sold them in the US.

I'd buy it. But I have the kidigi dock. Disappointed it doesn't go into dock mode...

It's the kidigi one.

i picked up one of these at the local US t-mobile store and this dock is nice but it puts the phone in this really bright "dock" mode. I rather have the clock instead.
there is also a "video" button but no clue what it does. i left it depressed. I also got the car dock as well.

Replacement USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?

I don't even know why Motorola trusted me with this tiny ass adapter But I lost the darn thing in a day. Does anyone know where to find a replacement that isn't from China and won't take a month to get here? I tried contacting Motorola about it but all they said was contact Verizon, which is useless considering they don't sell it. Any advice?

Not an answer, but similar question...does anyone know if a usb c to 3.5 mm male cord exists?
My headphones have a removeable cord 3.5mm male on both ends...itd be nice to have a cable as opposed to an adapter.

In fact I know I saw one on the Verizon site. Just don't remember which day.
Hope that helps

Just went to go look all over the "shop" section on their website, didn't see anything, you may have gotten it confused with their Micro USB to USB C connector. Thanks anyway man

A search on google yields plenty of ebay results, Im even more glad I got two now.
The ones on ebay are pretty cheap if you can find reviews in there to look at

Yeah they're pretty cheap, but they all come from China.

I am thinking that will be the only option as the original is from China...and I briefly looked into it when I first bought the phone, I was then unlucky enough to receive a defective device and returned it for a replacement...well the adapter was in the bag not the box so I got a spare for the inconvenience of returning to the store.

Bump. Has anyone found a seller in the states? The only places that seem to sell them are from China.

Honestly, if you're a regular listener to music it might be time to go BT.
I've been using BT almost exclusively for a long time and and it's really nice.
First, no tangling of cords. No having to un-knot the mess when you take 'em out of your pocket or bag... no worry about snagging them on something when I'm sitting on the bus communicating to work.
Second, additional controls. Most BT headsets have controls for volume as well as track control so you can adjust without having to open the music app on your phone if you playing a game, checking email, or reading a book. Or...
Third, you don't need to be right next to your phone. You could have your phone tucked away in a purse or bag or briefcase or backpack and still listen to music. Or you could have it sitting on the charge on the counter while you're moving around the house... as long as you're not too far away of course.
Not, I'm not a serious audiophile, so I admit that there may be some degradation of sound quality going via BT. It's no problem for me, but I can understand that it might be so for some people. But unless your the type that really needs super good sound quality... or you just don't have the extra cash handy, BT is the way to go in my humble opinion.

I too only found ones from China, and I finally found a listing in the US for the exact same product in the chinese listings, the white one, and I bought 3 of them. Huge mistake, don't go for them. They don't support stereo headphones :silly:
Huge waste of money. I too decided to go bluetooth as the poster above me, I use a pair of Beats Studio 2.0 (I know you guys hate beats, blah blah blah) and they work great. I did manage to RMA my phone though, as I was having some issues with the power button, and they just sent me a completely new Moto Z Force Droid in box, so I have a spare turbo charger and a new headset adapter

Lol, same here. My charger and fingerprint scanner **** the bed in a week. Got my new one though and so far, smooth sailing.

I hope that will be good wth a sennheiser hd700, I have a FIIO E11 amplifier but I would prefer It works without it, just with this cable would be perfect !

Just came across two eBay listings for what appear to be OEM replacement adapters (SKN6474A), thought I'd share (after I bought two for myself, natch). Kinda weird: same seller, but the first link is for $7.99 Buy-It-Now, the 2nd is for $9.99 but accepting offers. Haven't received them yet so can't say for sure they're the real deal, but the seller has 100% with 150 ratings. Act quick!
