Is the desktop dock worth it?

I'm thinking of buying a dock for my Nexus One through a friend who's currently in the US. The official one costs $45 while Innodock Jr from Seido ( http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/crjhnx1-bkc.htm ) costs $29.95. There could be tax and shipping on top of those prices too.
I'm going to order a Case + Holster at http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hnx1-bk.htm ) which costs as much as the case + dock combo ( http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-crjcsr3hnx1-bk.htm ). They cost US$49.95. Should I get the Case + Dock combo instead?
You think, in general, a dock is even worth spending for?

I like google's dock because I do not have to mate it with the USB port. So it is easier to just drop in and let it charge. If you want to be able to listen to music at your desk this is a good option.
OTOH the Innodock Jr. is set up to allow it to dock even if the phone is in a skin/case. The port is jointed to it moves back to rest against the dock but I would not call the mount firm. The benefit of the Innodock is it can be connected to your computer. This way the phone is upright while I am coding with it, which is easier than letting it lie on the desk.
I am hesitant to recommend the holster and case given the problems I have had with the bare phone holster. I seem to be the only one having the problem though so I would not let my experience dissuade you if protecting the phone with a case is a priority for you.
I would go with the google dock if you do not care about being plugged into your computer while docked. If you do want to be connected then I would go with the innodock jr. and an innocase, but no holster.

The Google Desktop is way better, i plugged it on my stereo and i have the Bluetooth on Nexus One Dock and i listen to my music or pandora without leaving my phone on the dock. i can change the songs with my N1 in my hand in 1 room and have it playing in the stereo in another. go with the dock, the bluetooth is worth it.

You're not the only one that feels that way... but to be honest, how hard is it to plug into your computer with the usb cable and drag and drop files?

Every time I put the phone in the holster it turns the screen on. Again it is not something anyone else has reported though.

True, but is the ability to play music from your phone worth the additional cost? My computer already has all my music and I can kick up pandora on the computer as easily as on the N1. It is a nice feature I grant, but I still find myself wishing the dock had skipped the bluetooth and cost less.
The lack of USB connector on the Google dock makes sense if you think about it. Google sees the cloud as the place for synchronization. So the dock reflects the lack of need for connection to the computer as a principal activity.

Also a good point... I don't have cable, so I use an s-video into my bigscreen from my laptop, and my audio to my surround sound system. My primary interest in the dock was as a nightstand dock... similar to how the Droid's dock works. Their dock runs $30. I'd jump on a similar device for our phone in a second.

I wouldn't get the Seido dock for the simple reason that it only charges via usb. Remember, the Nexux One charges at 480mA from USB and at 980mA from the supplied charger. So this dock will take literally twice as long to charge your phone.

It all depends on what you wanna use it for, like for me, the Bluetooth is completely useless, I will never use my phone to listen to music in my room, its always through my computer which is connected to the surround sound. I only want a dock to use as a night stand and for the comfort of simply not connecting the usb cable everytime. So once someone (Our chinese friends )make a dock that only does that, I will buy it right away and it will probably cost like 10 Bucks only. So yea like someone else here mentioned, I wish they would have skipped the bluetooth option.

It's not hard. But to me, it's a matter of personal preference and convenience. I wouldn't be using the dock to BT audio.
For me, it'd be a more useful dock if it could charge and sync data. BT is just a bonus..

Then it sounds like Seidio's dock is exactly what you're looking for.

I'm loving this little dock; it's very minimalist, shows off the phone nicely, charges quickly, and is integrated into the phone quite well.
I really like the options you have with the clock app; being able to drag the notifications bar down, shortcuts to music, gallery, home and alarms, super dim the screen, and weather.
When you leave it in the clock app for a bit, the screen turns to a digital clock, android green! I love that. A bit of a screen saver too. The hard buttons don't turn off though - not a big deal, just sort of hmm...strange?
I love listening to music on my computer's speakers via the bluetooth in the dock. The auto pairing is very neat, and happened flawlessly. You can still listen to music even if the phone is out of the dock, just manually connect to the dock in bluetooth settings. You can walk around with the phone in your hands, adjusting volume, changing songs, or even programs to play music.
My only real gripe is I wish the dock extended up behind the phone more, as if you tap the screen a little too hard, it has the propensity to fall out of the dock. Not a huge deal, since bluetooth is built in though.
All in all, I'm impressed, and quite content with my dock.

I would like to see the release of a dock that allows the phone to rest in landscape mode. This would be great since I prefer this view when viewing the clock and looks perfect on the night stand. Currently I just prop the N1 up against my lamp.
I do like the fact that Google's dock has BT which like others have stated is great for listening to music without leaving the phone docked. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you have a good amount of music on your phone this is a plus. As for this docks lack of USB; it is a bit disappointing, but I've paired my N1 to my laptop and that's worked fine for now. Any real work I do to it is mostly at work via USB anyway.
Now I have seen an N1 dock somewhere that supports a spare battery ... lost the link so I can't share that. Though the battery life on the N1 has been great for me I wouldn't mind having a spare and being able to charge the device and an extra battery all at once.

Indeed it is.

A little late my answer, but thanks a lot

I have to be honest I am not impressed with the dock... sure it looks nice and the bluetooth streaming is cool but even if mine worked perfectly (It seems to be faulty as it won't charge unless I wiggle the phone around and then stops after 10 seconds)
- the phone slips out if I touch it anywhere - it must be the most unsafe dock ever. Forget using the phone in the dock. It won't stay in it if you press it....

Faulty N1 Dock?

I just got a nexus one dock delivered this morning... but nothing happens when I put my phone in.
I had the desire rom so I flashed cynogen and tried and still nothing.
I am guessing its faulty but there isn't anyway for me to actually be sure is there?
I guess I will just have to contact HTC support and get it replaced!

When your drop it into the dock, does it show charging? You could just have a set of dirty contacts - a quick swipe with a pencil eraser is an easy way to make sure they're clean.
Are you running a N1 ROM now (Stock, Cyan, Enmother, MCR)? If so, dock it and head to settings and there should be a "dock" option there now once you've docked.

Thanks for telling me to try that.
I can't figure out what the problem is. I did get it to work by pushing the USB wire into the dock and plug connector.
That makes me think that the USB wire is damaged but it seems to not require any pressure to work fine on my HD2 (as its the same connector) so I am a bit stumped by this!

Are you using the wall charger or USB charger? If it's the USB charger give it a shot with the wall charger. They say don't use the USB charger and the only reason I can think of is that the USB charger only provides .5A and that may not be enough to power the dock and charge at an acceptable voltage.

I am using the wall charger now but I am UK based so I am not using the suplied charger - rather my HD2 wall adapator and USB cable although that shouldn't effect how it works clearly.
I do wonder if the invisible shield may be causing part of the problem.
It doesn't "slide" into the dock I have to push it even though the bottom part of the phone has no protector (as I removed the shield from there) it does seem to be super temperamental to the EXACT angle and position I have it in the dock...

As long as it's pushing 1V I don't see why there'd be any problem if it's not the "supplied" charger.
Can you tell if the phone is making good contact on the bottom? You should be able to see the pins actually depress and "disappear" as the phone pushes them down into the dock.

which dock have you got
I'd have thought the problem would be the skin blocking the three contacts ( is it a genuine dock?
Jamie

with the invisible skin I need to push the phone in a little as well. The skin makes the phone not fit as well so that may be your issue, not the dock.

^^^^This^^^^

I removed the protector totally and it still requires pushing into the dock and then it seems to randomly disconnect the charging for no reason after a couple of seconds.
It must be that the dock is faulty (of course it could be my phone but I can't test that out so I will assume it is the dock).
I e-mailed HTC who said if I phone them they will sort out a replacement.
They seem quite efficient so far although I haven't phoned them yet!

Is anyone using the DroidX car dock for the G2?

I saw it's possible with some minor modding.
If so could you kindly share your experience\post pictures?
What do you do with the power cable? Just leave it dangling or is there a more elegant solution?
I'm trying to find the best car dock solution for my G2, even if it means doing some modding.

I use it in the car. To get it to work, simply unscrewed the frame and flip the usb connector around. Once plugged in, the phone fairly securely. It came with a car charger plug so I just use that to charge the phone while using GPS. To get the dock-feel, I use car-home's setting to auto-launch when connected to my car's bluetooth.

thanks!
a couple of more questions, if you may:
is it easy to guide the phone into the usb plug or does it take some work?
do you think it'll work with the slim rubber-feel case or is the plug flush with the bottom surface?

It's easy once you get used to it, it's much easier if you slide the keyboard out before you mount it.
There is a piece that you can take out to adjust for extra thickness.

Observations: Photon Q Vehicle Dock

I had a hard time finding any info about the car dock before I purchased one. So, here are a few things that may be of use to someone:
The included power adapter is rated at 750ma
The dock has 2x USB outputs, but at 750ma it's only just enough power to maintain GPS, Bluetooth, Backlight and a data connection (with semi-weak signal). Charging 2 phones at once isn't recommended.
The dock has an identifier so the phone knows that it's a vehicle dock (as opposed to my old Photon 4G)
When you first drop the phone into the dock, it asks you what kind of dock you are using. The Home dock does the same thing. It remembers each dock via a dock ID of some sort.
The dock fits the phone extremely well, best one I've had so far.
Better than the Droid 2 and Photon 4G. The Photon Q drops in with little effort and holds in place VERY well.

It doesn't do that with me....but then I only have (and have only used) the car dock. Maybe it requires docking with both docks before it prompts you?

Possibly. It's been a few weeks since I first dropped the phone into the dock...
But, putting the phone into a new dock of the same type (at least the Home dock) prompts to request what type of dock is connected.

Anyone have any tips on where to find one under $50? I'm really missing having a good dock, but getting impatient for the price to go down.

Looking at picking up the Costco deal on the Pho Q with free car dock after MIR, and wanted to confirm - I'm guessing that you can't use the dock with a case on the phone, correct? Looks like it wouldn't slide in properly.
Anyone try the dock with one of those Skinz "cases" which are really more like full body screen protector films?

I can't say from personal experience that you can use it with a case (mainly because I don't use cases nor have some little voice in my head compelling me that I absolutely must have one)....but I do know the dock comes with a little insert that you take out/don't use in the (no pun intended) 'case' of those who use cases.

There is a plastic adapter that needs to be inserted in the dock for a "snug" fit. I suppose you could just leave the adapter off for a slightly looser fit and try it with the case on.

Thanks for the info. I've got mine ordered, and having not seen your replies, ordered one of those "full body screen protectors" to protect the sides of the phone so it would fit in the dock. But, if there's a removable insert to allow more room for a case, I may get an Otterbox. I'll have to see how much extra play room it comes with before committing to a case that may or may not fit.

Does the dock make the phone go in to vehicle mode? Is there a way to disable this so you can still fully operate the phone?

It does make it go into vehicle mode, but that doesn't change all that much. It just launches a custom launcher app with large horizontal icons and sets up bluetooth (if you want the app to do that) and audio-out to the dock. It also has a page of customizable launcher buttons, which is a big step up from other "Car Home" apps.
You can get back to the regular homescreen by just hitting the regular home button.
You could probably also use something like Tasker to customize what happens when you put it in the dock. (I use Tasker to explicitly launch the vehicle home app, because I want the audio out, *then* launch my audiobook app)

Has anyone tested mass storage access in the vehicle dock? Mine won´t work. The phone charges but the alpine headunit says no usb-device. With the same cable without the dock between the usb cable and the phone it works well.

....i have tested it on sony radio - it works, but on blaupunkt no - no media detected

I have had both the photon 4g and the lte with docks and i thought the old one was a bit better built but the new one does fit well. On mine whenever you hit the home button when in the dock it went to car home not your normal home screen but if you run a third party launcher you can change that. I noticed that the charger that comes with it doesnt always have enough juice to charge it if you are in an area of weak signal with gps running so i swapped the charger with a 2A one that i used for my tablet. Never have a problem now and my phone will go from 70% batter to almost full in my 30 min drive home from work.
Hope it helps.

I thought I might ask here before opening a new thread.... Anyone know what protective cases are compatible with the dock?
I (like many) prefer otterbox cases. But with my last phone the Otterbox case blocked the data connector to the vehicle dock.
Anyone tried the otterbox case with the dock? or any recommendations for other cases that ARE vehicle dock compatible?

Ottorbox is very tight even without the adapter plate (taking it out allows for a fatter phone) and the rubber flap blocks the ports and you cant fold it back or it doesnt fit...

The ability is there, the car mode is detected and signalled properly in CM10.1, but there is no car home/launcher app installed as part of pure AOSP/CM jellybean system installation - you have to install some car home app from play market so it's launched automatically when the phone enters the car dock.

Why did I buy the dock ?

I have had my Infinity TF700 for few months and love it. It is perfect size, it is light and durable. I just got oh your the docking station for it today. Why did I buy this dock ? I see no real practical use out of it except make it heavier and look more like a cheap notebook PC. I do like the extra SD slot, and the usb port is nice, but I allready have the ASUS adapter to USB for the tab. Maybe I just need to get use to it ?? Are there any more good practical reasons for the dock that I am overlooking. ??
And one question: Since there are now 2 batteries (tablet battery and dock battery) if 1 of the batteries dies (goes to 0%) will it still run if the other battery has like 50% ?
Cheers !

Once the tablet battery hits 70-80%, it varies per Rom it seems, It will stop pulling from the tablet and run the dock to 0 first, then continue to drain the battery in the tablet. The dock is good for a laptop replacement, it makes it a ton easier and quicker to type things rather than having to tap or swipe them, like typing up this on on xda but I am on desktop ATM. And yes the tablet should still run when the dock hits 0%.
Tylor

I suppose an appropriate answer to your question may be a question: why did you buy the dock?
I personally bought it so I could work on my papers or work docks away from the office or without my big lap top. I'd hate to write a paper on a touch screen.

Well, can't tell why YOU bought it But I did it primarily for the ease of typing. I'm using my Infinity for work, and with the keydock it's just perfect to capture meeting minutes, create mind maps and obviously to do the mail and calendar stuff. As a big GTD (getting things done) fanatic, I simply love it that whenever I have this great idea of something I should consider or act on, I just have to open the lid and type away.
Also the additional power is great, as I can't stress my Infinity hard enough to drain the complete batteries during one business day. Typically I charge over night, and -depending on how the day goes- there is more than enough power left to do browsing and reading at home.
My Infinity is relatively new, but soon I will have my first business trip where I want to try to leave without my notebook and just take the Infinity with me.

I find the dock useful for obvious tasks such as typing blocks of text. But there is definite room for improvement in its successor. I find that typing with the touchpad on can be quite tricky without accidentally moving the cursor mid-sentence. I have to exaggerate the arch of my hands over the touchpad area to avoid this issue. I haven't experienced this same problem on a similar sized netbook. I would like to see a keyboard with an even larger battery to make the keyboard heavy enough to make its center of gravity secure enough that the risk of tipping forward becomes neglible. Also, I am not certain why, but scrolling down a page with the arrow keys is not smooth like it is on a PC. Instead, it just moves the cursor from one box to another. Sometimes I would prefer to scroll the page with the arrow keys rather than with the two finger swipe gesture.

Want to hear something funny. I took your advice and pluged in my usb dongle for the mouse and yes it is a nice addon. I also see my wireless keyboard works also, so I am typing on my PC keyboard and using my PC mouse through the Tablet Keyboard/Dock ... : ) Could have probably cut out the middle man (the dock) and just plugged my usb dongle into the tab.

For me, the main thing with the dock is that extra battery allowed me to watch movies and browse the internet longer, also a tablet holder so I can put it next to my labtop and watch movies while working on my laptop.

Have the same skin as you...

One thing I've noticed (at least on a stock rom). Is that if your dock is 100% charged and your tablet is at 0% you can charge the tablet off the dock. I've done that many times, quite nice

Besides the obvious upsides of easier typing, longer battery life, and more connectivity I bought the dock because along with a bluetooth mouse it turns the tf700 into a killer remote desktop machine. I am a web developer so instead of maintanining two development environments one on my fast desktop and one on a laptop I just use the tf700 with dock and bluetooth mouse + splashtop to work remotely on my desktop. It works absolutely great as a laptop replacement in this case if you have sharp enough eyes to work on a 1920x1080 windows desktop on a 10" screen.
