I searched and didnt find a thread for charging docks so I'm posting one. I've gotten really used to the wireless charging with my G3 and with wireless charging gone as an option on the 6P, I'm going to want a nice dock to set the phone on at work.
Anyone else feel the same, anyone see any 6P charging docks yet?

I would be interested if there was a nice portrait dock, but not found anything yet. I was hoping for some official accessories.

Looks like those images were from Kidigi, a known manufacturer of desktop docks. Here is their listing.
http://www.kidigi.com/index.php?route=product/product&productlist_id=8&product_id=112#.Vg25BlUVhBc
I tried ordering their Nexus 6 Dock. They don't sell directly, you have to get them through a supplier. In the US, its NakedCellPhones, their store is mostly based off of ebay listings. It took so long, I was able to get 2 RND ones before they carried the Nexus 6 docks.
I emailed Fuz Designs asking if they would make an adapter for the Everdock. Hopefully they do.

If they make a version of that N6 Dock for the N6P and N5X, I'd probably buy a couple of each (N6P for me, N5X for my wife) so that my wife and I could have one for home and work. That N6 dock looks fantastic!

Just bought 2 of those last week, they are working great for me.
According to the reviews these are not genuine cables.
United Integral says that this is a "Blackberry" cable and even uses a picture (illegally) of a Blackberry cable, an OEM one. This cable is NOT Blackberry and doesn't work as a data and charging cable for my phone. DO NOT PURCHASE this if you want a cable that works.

This cable is not a micro usb as advertised, it is a mini usb which is larger and NOT the new standard most phones are using.

Same thing as the stock cable, they just work better. The stock cable is about as useful as a sack of poop.
Has anyone purchased the official dock for this phone? I was wondering if it is worth $49.99 from T-mobile.
I have. It's extremely great quality. You're paying for one of the sturdiest docks ever.
It's definitely expensive, but it's definitely high end quality.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
I bought one when I bought my phone about 2 weeks ago, but returned it a couple days later. Sure, it's a sturdy, but it doesn't have any dock functionality. To me, it's a glorified plug. It doesn't trigger anything on your phone that plugging in a charger doesn't.
Totally not worth the $50 to me. I ended up making my own "dock" with an old credit card, cardboard, and duct tape.

That picture was taken last week. It has more duct tape to smooth out the edges and make it "prettier" and more sturdy. I think found the "make a credit card a phone dock" on Lifehacker or something. It worked great for landscape, but putting the phone in the dock in portrait made it tip over, so the cardboard was added for stability.

The MT3GS dock had a line out port, and you could stream to it via bluetooth. I've no idea if this dock has it or not, as I can't find any documentation on it anywhere.
For 25 bucks, I'll take a shot and see what it's got. It was, after all, a 50 dollar accessory originally, so maybe it's got the BT after all.

Yeah I got it from another site for the same price, defiantly the same dock and now worth the price. 50$ was way too much to pay. It will either dock to USB or dock to charge, one or the other. It has no speakers for playback. Its basically a vanilla dock.
Anyone knows when will this goes on sale? And for how much?
It's designed for the Lumia 920, but since it also use the Qi wireless charging standard, it works with the N4 (confirmed by a N4 reviewer on youtube, can't remember which video that is though).

Looks like I finally know what to ask for for X-Mas from the GF. She always gets pissed because anytime I want something I just buy it instead of waiting to get it as a gift.

I think the FatBoy looks cool and easy to carry when travelling, we just need it to go down in price!
Does anyone have a clue if it's actually cushioned (inside stuffed with some sort of foam etc.) or if it's just covered in a pillow sleeve? Reason I ask is I plan on having one of these on my bed, since I sleep in a big bed and don't use a bedside table.

Thanks for the pictures...how stable is the phone on that charger? It's pretty small, looks like it could easily fall off

Wonder if its software related?

Hi, any update if the nokia Qi charger would work? Did you managed to test the phone with the chargers on display? appreciate it. thanks!
For those of you interested in the Fatboy Pillow, do note that inside the pillow part is the exact same DT-900 charger that many have reported problems with (see jmquez above). Not sure if the pillow cures those, but it's worth keeping in mind before spending ~$100.

That thing looks like something I would bump in the night and catapult my phone into something hard. Looks cool though.

Found this whilst browsing for other QI chargers. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to an exchange for one that doesn't slip.
Problem is none should be having the slipping issue, especially if I'm paying 70 bucks for one. Why risk wasting my money on something I'm not sure will not have a problem. I'll pass on going through all of that hassle and look elsewhere (which I'm currently doing).

I may actually consider this for my PT Cruiser console mod if I can't figure out how to build one myself. Expensive? Sure, but considering I could just cut a hole, glue in this bad boy and wire it into the car pretty easily, may be worth the time saved...

Word. Ripoff at a tenner even. Predict they'll be that cheap in a year. Just gouging the early adopters.
i hope we dont have to wait 3 months for release to western countries.
actually i like the qimini retractable usb plug better. in that last video the lg usb plug looks awkward
I have been searching for a good dock for the Nexus 9, and I haven't found anything yet. Figured we could start a thread for docks and impressions of docks. All the docks that I've seen appear to have the USB connection facing the wrong way for our Nexus 9s.
First up, micro usb docks that will work with the Nexus 9.
CONFIRMED:
EverDock (Thanks WisdomWolf)

EverDock Duo

UNCONFIRMED, but should work:
Arq Dock ($30) Currently going for $15 through Android Police link provided below.

I personally just ordered the EverDock, will report back once I receive it.
Submit your docks and impressions if you have any.
Thanks

Subscribing. Since I use this tablet as my alarm clock I am definitely interested in a dock!

Why not? This is the best device for that!
It's not a dock, but I actually use a Twelve South Compass stand. My current one is rigged with a small Qi charger in the middle for the Nexus 7, and while Nexus 9 can't charge that way, it sits on the stand just fine. I tend to store it in landscape when I do use it.

This is the only thing that I've found, but the reviews are lumped with the lightning version, so its hard to get a good idea on overall consensus. I can't decide if I should order it to find out for myself or not.

Looking at the connector, it appears to be oriented the wrong way. As in to make the tablet plug in, the display will face the dock and not you. I could be wrong on that.
How does the tablet know it's docked rather than connected to a charger? I ask as I'm curious how it will know when to daydream.

Good catch. I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm back to square one.
What about this?
Well the original purpose of a dock is to put the device on the stand for charging and/or syncing instead of having to fiddle around and manually connect a cable. This works fine for that i suppose.
Having it act like a alarm clock or whatever is not what makes it a dock. That's just a feature that some docks have but is not a prerequisite.

I would avoid this. It looks nice but it's a pain in the ass to plug in. Here's the bottom of my Nexus 7

To be fair, you probably just jammed it in without regard for your tablet.
Others here don't treat them so badly.
If you're careful, any dock can work.
Just a word of advice for those looking for a dock.
The Nexus 7 and 9 are the only ones I've owned that have the microusb socket the OTHER way around than my other ones.
Any update on the ever dock with the n9? Curious to see if it fits. Thanks.

I hope HTC will release an official dock. The offical dock from ASUS for the Nexus 7 was the best.

I received mine, and I can confirm that it does work. I plan to do a deeper review, but a very quick one. It works, I like it, but you may want to modify it slightly and easily. I'll get some pictures up and a review soon.
Thanks
Dan
Updated first post with new dock that should work, on sale currently as well if anyone wants to give it a shot.
Thanks

Could you please post pictures with the N9 on the dock? I would like to see how it fits there. Thanks.
