UPDATE: The MyTouch 3G, and the Droid eris use the same connecting port (right?) so just go grab yourself a MyTouch dock
http://www.all4cellular.com/my-touch-3g-docking-station-black.html
Ok so almost all android phones have a dock, except the Droid Eris, so I am proposing an idea that anybody may try at their will and see wether or not it works. So Google just released the Nexus One dock since it has no actual port in the bottom of it, what i am suggesting is cutting a hole in the bottom of the dock, and glueing the USB plug (the side with the the plug that goes into the phone) in to tht whole you've already cut. Go ahead and try this, and tell me if this works out, and hey maybe you could even make a business doing this!

Are you suggesting that someone pay for a Nexus One dock, drill a hole in it, and poke a USB cord through it? That would just break the docks functionality, plus all it is doing is providing a way to play music and charge the phone. I could go on, but I'm going to be nice.
Pick up an A2DP clip with 1/8" audio-out, plug it into some desk speakers and buy a USB charger. You might need to get a USB mini cable as well, for data/charging if you don't have one already. By the time you finish paying for all of that, you'll have spent $30-$40 and you'd have the capabilities of the dock without ruining one you can't use. You will also have a home charger which will delegate your original to travel/work duty.

old thread but I have the first one you listed. Works great. I have the back door cover from verizon and it fits in the charger without removing it.
anyone found a decent dock for the desire ?
I intend to use my G1 dock at least initially, but will have to see how the Desire fits with it. There aren't any currently available on eBay which is odd given they usually have floods of stuff before the actual phones come out.
The Desire has the other kind of micro USB connection to the G1 so not cross compatible

My dock, along with most unofficial ones has the non-HTC micro USB connector.
Obviously, with the desire being somewhat slimmer than its ancestor I am not sure this will work, but if not I shall just use the USB cable till I can get one that does.
Easydevices have four versions on preorder - standard, with second battery slot, with second slot and spare battery and with second slot and extended battery.
great find norm....hope they are available soon!
Please bear in mind that the G1 uses HTC proprietary ExtUSB connector which is based on MiniUSB, not MicroUSB which is the standard, and the one the Desire uses.

anyone seen any?
i've been looking everywhere.....
please psot here if you found any...
i can't buy it from mobiefun because they don't send to Aus.
@ mrdo
got mine today but from play.com (same kit better price...) very pleased and am typing on my desire while it charges. for some reason it slips a bit with the charger plugged in but then the charger stops it slipping right off. without the charger only thing that's making it slide a bit is having the vibrating keyboard turned on! will probably also get the basic easy devices one too (for overnight charging/alarm duties) if the free delivery offer works.
hope this helps

I take it the nexus one dock wont work on the Desire then? Why would google want seperate dock pins when they could just use the micro usb?!?
http ://www.google .com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=167603
Because it is very convenient to just drop the phone in the charging cradle, and it makes it much easier to charge the phone while in a dock.
I totally understand why the Nexus have them, but not why the Desire does not.
yeah i suppose but also seems like quite an overhead in terms of manufacturing + something else to go wrong whether interally or when contacts get dirty vs the millisecond difference between drop or push?
Plus doesn't it negate the ability to sync/have Aux out for music/handfree. Ive also heard its quite loose and people knock the phone on the floor trying to snooze the alarm

Cant wait for the easydevices one with second battery slot!

Their solution to aux out was to use bluetooth AD2P from the phone to the dock and then aux out on the dock to your stereo system.
I bought one from mopeth mobiles.. http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/A11/_AD_HTC_Desire_USB_Cradle&cat=627
Come this morning with a spare 1200 battery.. I may buy a seidio one next week and give my 1200 to my mate.. but it fits nice and snug perfectly, got a lot of LED indicators and also charges a spare battery!
Could you take a couple of photos? would it fit with a skin?
has anyone purchased this dock?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-dual-desktop-charging-cradle-p24217.htm
Mobile Fun now have details on the official HTC Desire car kit. Still no price though:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-car-upgrade-kit-p24570.htm
Apparently placing the device in the holder activates something called the 'navipanel' which must be similar to the 'Car Home' app on the Nexus One.
I'll wait for a price and reviews before deciding whether to replace my current car holder
EDIT
I just found further details on the HTC Accessory site from Expansys. The dock will set you back £65 and isn't due til the 5th July.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199788
Hmm recon there going to put this navi panel on the app market? or do a upgrade?
It's just this.
Regards,
Dave
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but things have moved on with this accessory! It is now available for order (although it is still £65.99!) from htcaccessorystore.
The question then is, is it worth £65.99? Other than auto-loading navipanel what does this give us over a standard mount and car charger?
If somebody buys one and works out what triggers dock mode it would be sweet!
I have recently acquired one of these and it does not activate any software within the phone. It does switch on 'car mode' which allows the speaker-phone to activate when a call comes in. I have contacted HTC support and was given this reply,
"Dear xxxxxx,
Sorry for the delayed response. I have investigated the issue a bit further - the Desire does not come with the "NaviPanel” software, as the manufacturer claims, and there is no download available for it. There is a “Navigation” app, which you can find in the list of all apps, but I am not sure if it is the same. Alternatively, you can go to Android market and search for “Car Home” or “Car dock” and try out some of the 3rd party apps available, but please be aware HTC does not produce those, so you will be using them at your own risk.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Sincerely,
Viktor"
I am somewhat annoyed that HTC have stated in the car holder instruction manual and in the original press release, that the 'Navipanel' is activated when the phone is docked. It was a huge selling point for me, as I use the phone in the car more than anything and this feature would have made it easier to operate the phone in the dock.
Have you instaled navi panel, you can find it on here somewhere.
I'm thinking of getting one of these, but only if it works properly!
so no one bought this?
I've bought the car kit and just received the shipment. I have to admit it looks really nice and feels robust. I'll be trying some of the third party Apps for the next few days and will keep in touch...
Hi,
I have one question, Does it recognize the charger as USB or AC ?
ThankU

None of the third party app's I've tried could convince me that Car-mode is a great and usable feature. Maybe that's why HTC decided to discontinue (or never started working on?) this feature?
Also,
Using or holding (and even touching for that matter) a phone while driving is illegal in The Netherlands and will cost you about 150,- Euro. Even if it's only being used a a navigation device.
I personally think Google should improve Voice search and release a Dutch version soon
@_dGs_
Previously, when using generic car chargers and running CoPilot, my battery still slowly drained. I've noticed that since I've got the official Dock, this problem doesn't occur anymore. So I assume that it'll show AC. I'll have a look at it when driving home today to make sure.

From experience with my Touch Pro and Kaiser, the generic adaptors do not deliver enough power for a phone that is making calls, a Bluetooth connection and GPS. These generic devices seem to deliver USB levels of power. Look at your wall charger and it is rated at 1 Amp. A genuine HTC car charger will give the correct level of power (until the battery gets too hot and shuts off charging) - this hasn't happend on my Desire yet, but would do so on my Touch Pro, even with the AC vent directed at the phone...

a little bit later then promised, but: When connected to the official HTC CarKit, the desire says it's connected to an AC power source.

After I bought the Desire I also also bought a 1200mA (max output current) generic USB charger for use in my car. Friends of mine who have an Iphone were using this charger because this phone also has the problem.
The 'funny' thing is that this charger didn't solve the problem on my Desire. Perhaps HTC chargers identify themselves as some sort of "high current charger"- USB deviceClass, or use a slightly different voltage (e.g. 5.5V instead of 5V?) to identify themselves as AC charger?

Hello everyone, with this post we can confirm that the Galaxy S4's vehicle "DockMode" works perfect with the xProDock. See image where it was checked today against AT&T's and Sprint's version. Friends from Europe have also confirmed it works fine with the International version.
Driving using the "DockMode" combined with a Bluetooth for hands-free is great as it turns your S4 into a virtual driving assistant and entertainment center, all while you stay away from texting while driving. Keeping the phone above the dashboard obviously also increases both cell phone and GPS reception. Stepping out of the car with a charged phone is another nice benefit with using a charging dock.
Connect the S4 into the xPro and go to "Settings-Accessory" and select "Dock Sound", "Audio out" and "Deskhome display" and then download your favorite "docking app". We've found our own "Dock'n Drive", "CarHome Ultra", "Ulysse Speedometer", "TuneIn" and "Slacker Radio" to be the S4 "Dock home" alternatives. We recommend using one of the first three and then have "shortcuts" to your favorite apps.
The aux-out sound to car-stereo through the microUSB cable also works great on the S4. This means the car-dock only needs ONE cable connected and yet at the other end it splits into a USB male connection and 3.5 mm aux-out that you connect into the vehicle's car-stereo (not needed if you have Bluetooth A2DP support). Keep in mind that Samsung's firmware only allows for "App sound" to be transmitted to the car-speakers through the microUSB, NOT phone calls so you must still use a Bluetooth solution for in-and outgoing calls.
Camera view is also free so you can use the S4 as an excellent "dash cam" with one of the many apps available for capturing video using a "loop". All cases are compatible, even Otterbox Defender or Ballistic Maxx type.
We have also started to ship our new "Stick Anywhere" mount with this which means you can attach it directly to the dashboard's hard surface without using the "disc" used for many years with car-docks. If you don't like the suction Mount concept there's an AMPS plate option which allows you to mount the xPro on a KUDA or ProClip mount for example.
You can order the xProDock for Galaxy S4 on Amazon in the US and Europe. Just type in "xProDock" on eBay and we should have it listed there too in most countries.
Feel free to ask questions or use this thread to discuss any product in the category... We'll comment if warranted. Thanks!
Definitely interested in this if we can't figure out what the hell is going on with the Infuse dock on the Samsung branded car dock thread!

The Infuse Dock can't be used with the Galaxy S4 no matter what. This has to do with the fact that Samsung has changed the pin-out configuration when moving to the "new platform" so there's no technical way (to the best of our knowledge) to get it to charge or to start the car-mode. Not sure if this helps?

Oh it helps alright, between this and your comment on the other thread, I'm going to have to give up on the Infuse dock.... it worked great for the Skyrocket and SIII for me, and I should be glad that I had it for those two phones, but now it's time to move on and go with yours - thanks again for your help with this!
I'll be the first to say that this universal dock has convinced someone who has never even considered a universal dock, this is definitely the one to buy if you need a mount for the S4 while driving.... and who doesn't? Samsung realy dropped the ball on this - all these great features to "make life better with your life companion," and they rip out the ability to dock the damn phone on their own dock? This and the TecTiles? Come on, makes me go crazy over here, but I digress - thanks Mikael, much appreciated, great work!
Placing my order right now!!! But wait til you see how I'm mounting it, going to make it mine if it kills me, haha
EDIT - Amazon order number ends in 0420217, can't wait to get this dock installed, thanks again

Will this work with the s-view cover on and folded back?

Very interesting indeed...
I have a question.. There is a long cable that is attached to the dock and end with the car-charger right? So is that a standard USB port so I can use my own charger or does it come with a car charger itself?
Now the issue with many standard USB car chargers is that they don't charge the phone fast enough. With the GPS on, it actually drains the battery slowly. I am going to get an official Samsung car charger soon.. but will I be able to use with with the xProDock?

It does not come with a charging solution, they leave that part up to you, thankfully.... If it were attached to a cheap 1A cigarette lighter adapter, I wouldn't want anything to do with it, but since I can connect this to my 2.1A adapter I already bought and used for months on my SIII, I'm certainly happy with that!

How is the USB connector? Can you get the S4 in and out of the dock and connect the USB with one hand easily?
The USB cord is very stable. It is flexible, but not loose. Similar to the feeling of a goose neck stand. It will stay in the bent shape and position you leave it in. The mount is extremely easy to use, and works with any case. The GS4 goes right into dock mode as soon as it sees the usb plug even if its not connected to power. The cord has a built in plug for the audio as well. The cord has the appearance of being permanently part of the mount, but there is a cover on the back that hides the removable plug. The windshield mount is first rate and did not budge until released.
On a related note....while plugged in, I saw NO battery drain as I had on the Infuse while using map apps, Escort Live radar app, or anything else. The unit continued to charge during all of the above. This in itself is a huge improvement over the previous phone/power combos. I would always have horrible drain even when plugged in when using power hungry apps with BT, GPS, etc...

That has more to do with the charging adapter you're using than the cable itself - what adapter are you using, a 2A or a 1A?

Thanks!
Just wanted to post a helpful tip to anyone using this dock and wants to keep the screen on ONLY when docked, not all the time like the phone settings menu allows you to set "while charging." Always on while charging means that if my screen comes on for any reason while propped up on my desktop charger in the middle of the night, it's on the whole night! This just helps to utilize both Dock Mode that iBolt has figured out how to incorporate into their xProDock and the original Android Car Mode that we probably all know and love from the days of the Infuse 4G car dock!
Here's the link to the steps I used to get this working - it's a little hectic, but should only take about 2 to 5 minutes to set up, depending on what apps you may or may not have already installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41206483&postcount=11
I have the original iBolt with the cable and it does not work on the S4. The phone doesn't charge and audio doesn't come out. I have CarHome Ultra installed and using BeyondPod.

Is it the xProDock? They developed this new dock for Samsung specifically to address the issue that all the old ways wouldn't work on the S4. Their product page shows old docks and new docks with the old "In Vehicle Charging Dock" as separate products to identify this. It's an issue with Samsung changing things around and not something iBolt did in order to make you buy a new dock.... hell, Samsung even axed compatibility with their previous dock, making buying the xProDock the ONLY solution available to charge and send the vehicle into dock mode! I fought to get the Infuse 4G dock to work with the S4, but Samsung tinkered around with stuff so much, they caused me to have to buy the xProDock too....
Hello everyone! Sorry for the dumb question, but I was wondering if it is possible to add a wireless charging receiver inside a OnePlus 6. There are some receivers on Amazon for Galaxy S3, S4 and S5, and I thought that it would have been cool to have one, just to play with the hardware.
I'm not talking about the receivers which have the cable with the Type C USB port, but the receivers that connect directly to the battery. Something we can build ourselves.
Could it be possible? What do you think?
I'd nearly say hold on for the 6t and save yourself the hassle. ?

Unluckly I have already bought the 6, and this is my first OP phone and i think it is just awesome.
Anyway I only wanted to do something cool and play with the hardware of my phone.
Yes, I use one. Works just fine. The only annoying part is having to unplug it when I need to connect to my PC. I wish they made one that plugs into the usb-c port but still allowed a USB-c to plug into the receiver. It would probably make the receiver plug too big.
Here is the one I use:

If you're talking about some kind of hardware hack, I can't imagine that there's room inside the case given how thin this phone is. Years ago, I tried doing something like that with my HTC One XL, which had a flexible plastic case and more room inside. I still couldn't make it work.
Wireless charging is awesome but i only like it because my phone has a micro usb.... now that i have ordered a oneplus with usb c i dont think i will miss it because wireless charging is slower and heats up the phone more.
You have two options, buy external wireless charging receiver that plugs into USB or do a hardware hack and put wireless receiver inside the phone. It's certainly possible as back cover is glass, but it's not trivial.
