http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055J9MYQ

This is the same dock as Kidigi, but unbranded. Ebay had this same thing for $17.50 with free shipping. See the other thread. I already got mine.

Do you like it? I used a gift card to buy it.

Yeah its perfect. It does the job. The only thing I wish is that it went to dock mode automatically. I ended up just putting a shortcut on my home screen, but if it went in/out of dock mode it would have been nice.

I'm going to use it in my car. My sensation doesn't have a dock mode. Or even car home. Weird?

So I found the stock mode but it is hidden in the phone and I can't force it to launch.

I have the Kidigi dock and I have solved the dock launch issue by downloading "Plug In Launcher" from the Android Market, the free version allows you to set an app to launch when it is plugging in.
Hope this helps

It's not unbranded. Has a RND logo on the front.

Car Mode turn on

hi people.. A few days ago my inspire switched to car mode all by it self,and since then it happens every day,even though i have tried to turn it of when the notification apears,also this problem has made it that way that every time i make ar recive a call it switches to speaker imidietly all by it self,,what should i do?
Please help somebody

Just freeze it in titanium backup and unfreeze when you need it. When you have time, reinstall the rom.

Same happens with me.. so i removed dock mode from system/app/ & locations from root uninstaller..
now i have speakerphone always on whenever i get call.... what to do for that??

My fiancee's inspire was having the same problems as this and all that it was was a faulty micro usb connection...also try to clean the contacts inside the charging port with a small brush, if you still don't have any luck after that just let me know!

yes I too have this problem. my USB charging port is, let's say, "loose" I know it's only a matter of time before it won't even charge the phone. wonderful

Speaker always on even after I froze Car Panel
Hi, same problem here, car panel started popping up randomly + speaker always on when I receive or make a call after I flashed the New ATT stock rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461), froze the app which resolved the car panel problem, but my speaker is still on, anyone would know of any patch that could fix this please?
Thanks

I had this issue as well. I cleaned out the Micro USB port the best I could and couldn't seem to stop it from happening unless I unrooted and switched back to the stock ROM (I'm guessing this was only because the stock ROM doesn't have the option for a dock and thus the event is ignored) via the AAHK. My solution was to pay the five dollars for NoDock (link to the trial version) which stops Car Dock from launching and stops the speaker from turning on the calls. You could try looking at other options as well, I just wanted a fix so I paid for it.

Anyone buy the bundle pack for RAZR hd?

Hi, I love this phone. I have a nexus I now use for my crack-flashing addiction. Picked up a RAZR Jazz HD for the fantastic battery life (hard to believe its going to get better). I bought the desk/car bundle and my phone is acting weird in them when I use the ESP cable on the desk and all the time in the car dock. The car mode never deactivates after I take it out... And goes into charging fits when I do plug in a USB cable. On the desk dock my alarm never went off and I was almost late for work after doing some creative morning rituals to make it on time. I know this isn't "normal" just trying to see if anyone else has experienced this as well or if they think it could be my phone since its happening to 2 different accessories.

I've had the same issue, but only for a while. I'm used to CarHome Ultra, because I've had it for quite a while now and prefer it better than stock. I can tell you to make sure that you undock your phone and make sure that the steering wheel icon goes away. Sometimes I got out of my jeep and made it to the house, before I realized it was still running and had to go all the way back to reinsert/remove it in order for car mode to exit correctly.
As far as the alarm clock issue; I've never experienced your complaint. Make sure that you have your "Alarm volume" turned up in sound settings. Just because you use the phone volume up or down buttons to make your volume where you want it, it does not adjust the alarm, bluetooth or media volumes at all.
I hope this helps you out.

Thanks. I was going to go to the store and test the dock on the floor unit in the store. So how do I disconnect from car mode. I can't get out of out. I usually just reboot the phone when I get home our to work. I'll try the other car home app, but I'm really liking the stock one as is.

Well, if it doesn't exit once you put the phone back into the dock and then removing it again, you might try "clear data", then "force stop" in settings.

Has anyone seen any black Friday deals on this bundle?

Need help to make this pop out disappear

There is this pop out that keeps on popping every 15 sec and it's annoying I can use my phone. It pops out when the screen is off or on.
And I also think that it's a screensaver or a docking mode

There is no dust in the headphone jack and charging port.

Mine started doing this today. When it does it I get a little notification to click here to return to dock mode. Then it pops back to normal mode.
It is extremely frustrating.
Now the home screen rotates and I can't stop it from doing it (turning off auto rotate does not work) and it also will launch into speakerphone when I am in the middle of a call.
Any ideas? (Other than a factory reset)
Attached is what shows up in my notification bar when the screen goes to what you see in the picture from OP..

Think I figured this out.
It is the dock app. But it is not in the app drawer.
If you go to App Manager under settings, then switch to the view of "All" and look for Dock. Disable it and re-boot.
Apparently, according to a knowledgeable guy at the V store(yes they are a few), there is a magnet in the phone that when it is activated will enable Dock mode. So when you place it in a dock it activates.
Well a few days ago I bought some magnetic signs and I bet I bumped into one of them. Disabling will prevent that **** from happening in the future.

need some advice, m8 and verizon issue

So have any of you had a problem with the M8 switching into dock mode randomly?
Mine has been doing this, first time it happend it only got stuck in dock mode for an hour or so. I charged the phone and it went away.
Then low and behold dock mode comes back with vengeance, and when it changes to dock mode it turns on the speakerphone. Which on the M8 we all know is wicked f'ing loud when you have it up to your ear.
So i was on the phone, dock mode kicks in, turns of the speaker, blows up my ear, and i drop my phone. The screen shattered into about 100 pieces. It was in a dot view case. This happened today.
I called verizon yesterday about the dock mode issue and they wanted me to do updates on the phone, when it was obviously a hardware issue. In order to replace it they said to bring it to the store. The verizon store doesnt open till 10am, seems weird they open so late. So i went to work, had to make a call then the above happened.
Verizon nor HTC will replace the phone because of the broken screen. I'm trying to argue this would have never happened if this phone didnt potentially blow out my ear drum.
What do you guys think? Any advice?

How long have u had ur M8? Have u tried contacting HTC?

since april 9 over 6 mo. HTC says they will fix the dock mode issue, but will give a price quote for the screen.

Depending on how much HTC charges I'll probably go that route

Htc had the screen replacement for free as a perk on the m8. In setup was a section about on last screen. HTC advantage I believe.

I think that was only for the first 6 months they would replace it free.
