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.

Thanks for the link, seems fine but a little too expensive :S
I used to have one that was both at the same time, kind of like this one. www.accessorypost.com/zipkordcombo.html
It had replaceable tips for different devices but I only had one so I spliced a different tip together from a different charger.
What's the best charger like that available? I don't care about the price, I just want to know which is the best one.
Is that really worth the money?
No idea but I had one like it before that my brother broke, so he owes me one whether or not it is.
micro usb chargers are pretty much standardized, there's no real "best" charger. Generic wall charger charges my phone at the same rate of the official wall charger included with the phone.
I keep a generic car charger I bought on eBay for a dollar, and keep an official HTC charger at home, and another generic wall charger I bought for a dollar at work. Not to mention plethora of microusb cable at home, work, school, friend's house, laptop, etc., spending that much money on one product seems silly to me.
I am happy with the OEM Sprint car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GPQTJQ
It is better built than the OEM HTC car charger and has a secondary USB charging plug.
That solves nothing. I want one that can be used in both the car and house like I had before. Does anyone know of one that does that, other than the one I linked to?
Look on amazon dude, there are quite a few. And don't be rude to people who are trying to help you.
I think that's what u looking for

I was not being rude. Just because someone points out that something is not helpful is not being rude. Plus, I have looked at amazon. What I'm asking for is opinions on which one of those is of the best quality.

Thanks for finding that. It's a bit iffy given that it comes from ebay (I haven't had a lot of good come from ebay electronics purchases in the past) and because it says it's new but it has scratches and signs of use. Still, not a bad price. Do you know if that's one that'll last a while?
The one I had before was from a company called Gomadic, who sells a charger and different tips for different phones. It's a great charger and outlasted my phone, but the charger costs almost 30 bucks and each tip costs about 6 dollars, and then you have shipping added on to that.
I'm thinking about buy one to for my car...I'm going to see them

I have a non-know brand one . And it is doing his job when i use it .
i need one too
My USB port is slowly dying. It only charges when the cable is in a certain position and when I move it , it stops charging.
Anyone know of a good place to get a new flex cable? I looked at etradesupply, but the shipping is too expensive. The port is 17.99, but the shipping to Canada is 31.99.
I bought 2 off amazon, but when I install it, everything works except the loud speaker. At first I thought it was a defective cable, so I tried the second one I bought as the spare.......still no sound.
At this point I thought I messed up my phone, but when I put the original one back, everything works again except the charging port.
Anyone have any experience with this? Know of a place the sells one that works?
Thanks
Where are you located? Ebay?
Since the N5 has built-in wireless charging, you could just buy a cheap qi charging pad to charge the phone wirelessly.
I'm in Canada.
I did think about eBay, but I'm worried it will be the same as the amazon one. I was hoping someone had ordered one from somewhere and can confirm it worked.
Are you in Toronto? Maybe post an ad on a buy sell trade forum for the part? Any local repair shops gave the part?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm in Vancouver.
I have contacted several reputable businesses in Vancouver, but they want to charge to install the part. I understand their point though since the profit is in the labour.
I'm hoping I don't have to go that route since its substantially more expensive. The cheapest I have been qouted is $60.
I have opened up the phone and am comfortable installing it, so I'm hoping I can save some money doing it myself.
Is this the piece you need? A wireless charger could charge the phone if the USB port is able to transfer data.

Yup!
That's what I need. Have you bought from a place that you can confirm works?
The one I have works for sure because it actually came from an LG phone. I purchased two phones: 1 with a smashed glass, the other with a damaged emmc. I took the motherboard from the phone with a smashed glass and put it into the phone with a defective motherboard.
I have never purchased replacement parts from a third party except for non-oem pre-assembled LCD/digitizer/glass/frame from Aliexpress.
The USB replacments from Amazon look exactly like the original with the same number of contacts, etc.?

The amazon one I got, looks exactly like the one in the phone right now.....thats why I'm confused as to why it didn't work. I tried 2 and both the loudspeaker didn't work. Everything else works......however .
I'm not sure which vendor sold the part but were there any negative reviews or buyers mentioning this problem? Could it be something unique about your phone's speaker? I doubt it because the speaker for the d820 and d821 have the same part number.

There were only 2 reviews.....one said they had the sound problem and the other said it was fine.....I guess its hit or miss with third party parts.
It was the cheapest I found, so that may have something to do with it not working.
Amazon. Never buy cheap
OP purchased them from Amazon but I'm not sure of the price.
Any particular place you recommend?
Did you clean the original? 99%of the time its lint in it
I believe the OP has solved the problem.

Yup! Problem solved!
I kind XDAer ( I won't mention who, unless they want me to say) sent me the original flex cable from their broken nexus 5.
I did try to clean the port, but it was still no good.
I did buy from Amazon, however I have to admit it was the cheapest one they had for sale. I guess you do get what you pay for.
I've read through some various discussions, but there's an item on EBay that appears to be an OEM Huawei charger for the 6P.
/itm/OEM-Original-3A-Type-C-Quick-Travel-Wall-Charger-Dual-Type-C-Cable-For-Nexus-6P-/231963618632?var=&hash=item36021bed48:m:m9twewSegCzacD-PWhtCgtQ[/url] (Ebay is in front of the address - it won't let me post)
I'm considering this as an alternative to the one in the google store (I want one with a brick and cable, not attached - I tend to break those.) Has anyone tried this particular item and can verify that it's actually the OEM charger? I'm mildly concerned about frying my phone after reading some of the horror stories out there. Thanks!
Any update on this? Curious to know how it performs if you bought one.
As my title said, WHERE? Background story: My charger's broken, and I want to buy a new one. I'm charging my phone with laptop now. Here's the result I got after few hours of searching online: none on Amazon, Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, Sony US official website...not original or authentic as they announced on ebay. Asked Sony's customer service, she answered: "Have you checked out our official partners' website, like Amazon or Bestbuy..." Partners? I don't think so, what kind of partner say "sorry, we couldn't find that page"? So...can anyone tell me where to find a sony charger? Many Thanks.
eBay, amazon...
emmmmm....I don't know what to say....

What's wrong with the ones in Walmart? Works great for me
Doubt you'll find an official OEM Don't charger.
Go aftermarket or buy another manufacturer's charger. As long as it's a certified USB-C charger, then you'd be fine.
I see...thanks.

This is actually super annoying, it made sense when I was buying Sony phones that were not sold in the US, but now that the phones are sold here I would think that I should be able to find an official OEM charger to buy. The only place I have found that I could potentially purchase an OEM cable or any other OEM accessory is the UK Amazon site, no US stores or sites seem to have them.
For those repeatedly saying to just buy an aftermarket charger, that doesn't work if you want to use the cable to connect to a PC to transfer files or flash the phone.
Exactly! You get me! I also found them on Amazons that's outside US, like UK, India...Although I've already bought Aukey charger from Amazon after last two day's hard research on Sony's charger. Sad, just sad. It's not that other charger's no good, it's just realizing that I have no free option makes me sad. And US version's fingerprint sensor is disabled, WTH? We'll have to flash a different firmware to unlock it. Seems like they tried very hard to prevent us from using Sony phone.

Ya it's quite frustrating, but you can't really blame Sony since the phones don't sell very well in the US so they kind of ignore us. If shipping isn't too bad, I will probably end up buying a cable or two from the Amazon UK site.
As far as fingerprint, I ended up having to follow the thread here that flashes items from the US & CE1 firmwares so that I could have group messaging and fingerprint reader. The only annoying thing about this is that you don't get OTA updates so you need to download both firmwares and flash what you want every time you want the update. A couple annoying things about this that I have run into; backup to the micro SD takes forever and doesn't include you fingerprint details, so I have to re-add my fingerprint every time, restoring also takes forever (like restoring your home/icon setup), you have to re-login to all the apps you were using.
Problem of the century!
Just buy any USB charger.

Reading more than the title of the thread was just too much?
google UCB30 cable, then you can use USB debugging on your xzp
I agree that this is ridiculous. If you sell phones and other accessories in the US then make the charger available. I had a long discussion with Xperia Customer Care months ago and came up empty. They were linking me to eBay sellers that offer refurbished junk. It's simply another reason why Sony fails to establish a strong mobile presence in the US even though they have outstanding devices.
