htc one x dock

When are we going to see one for the att version? you would think there would be one released on the same day as the phone with the charging tabs built right into the phone.

Found this one but it costs more than I am willing to spend. Looks good though

Be careful, the AT&T version is the XL and the pogo pins are not in the same place. The international HOX accessories that use the pins won't line up correctly.

Cool thanks for the tip. They should be more clear about for what phone it is for.

If you're dead set on getting the dock, contact them and make sure it's compatible with the AT&T version and let us all know!

go to att.com its on their accessory page along with the media link and battery bank.

Only saw a car dock on the accessories page but no desktop cradle like for the international version. A link would be nice

Found some in eBay no word as to if they are any good. Has anyone tried them?

I bought the Hyperion USB dock and have used it for a few days. It's works fine as expected, but even the slimmest of cases must come off for the device to fit.
Also, to my disappointment, it cannot put the phone into dock mode. It seems as though only the docks using the pogo pins will be able to do that.

thats not true. it has to do with the usb connection not the dock itself.

Is there a dock that does this?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

It's almost certainly either a magnet sensor or NFC sensor that triggers the dock mode - the car kit doesn't even use the pogo pins, but will trigger the car mode app. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the cable, either - the one that comes with the car kit doesn't appear to be anything more than a normal cable with an end molded to fit in the dock.
EDIT: Just ran the magnet I have across my phone with no success, so the Mototrola method is not likely how it works. Some Samsungs use NFC, so it could still be doing that.

The car mode is built into the USB cable using a special resistance on the usb cable with a small standard resistor.
- Dan

10k ohm works good for me
Do like in "penguin.cz/~utx/hardware/HTC_car_dock/" this instruction, but for our phone resistor must be ~ 10k ohm.

many docks do not have it built into it. I found this out when i purchased a dock for my galaxy note that "enabled dock mode" when used, however for me it didn't work. I found out that the issue was that i was not using the cable that came with it, instead i was using my own cable (it was pre routed which is why). After some testing i found that the cable did indeed make the difference. As far as i know i have not found any docks for the one x that have that built into the dock itself, the 2 that i did find, both relied on the cable still.

It's crap like this that's a double punch to the nuts. Why couldn't they just have made it the same pin design?

HTC needs to get their act together...
I love having docks.
It makes my life so much easier having one at the office next to my bed, I dont get the point of making phones with the pins if they are going to take a year to release a dock that uses them (slight exaggeration). Its a joke that the international one has it and not Rogers/AT&T... ugh

Yeah... any information on if / when this stupid dock is going to be out for the US would be nice.
I know it sounds dumb, but this is one of the reasons I bought the phone.

It's not. That link explicitly states it's not compatible with AT&T's model.

Capitalism comrade!
They'll make an ATT dock that's twice as expensive and charge us all!
I really don't know... but if I had to guess - I'd say marketing.

Did you already receive yours and test it? It looks very similar to another one that's white that doesn't work on our phones. But it does show a Nexus 4 on it charging so I am not sure. Just want to make sure some one has tested it since there are a few that have known issues. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeap, I got mine today and it really works very very good. For some reason it seams that it charges the phone really fast...i will make a test of how much it takes to full charge a a phone to %100 because it really feel faster than a regular wall charger

Honestly, i dont know how to check that...but I installed Current Widget and the Ma's are going up and down between 500 to 800...sometimes go up to 1,000 but average is around 600 to 800 Ma's .... its that what are you asking?? Its that pretty bad??

yes thanks, you can get the app to log this info with the screen off so you can see how much current the charger is pushing. Go into settings and check the Log Option and the app will save it to file. Turn off the screen and let the phone charge for 15mins and check the log file.

Anybody knows what its normal battery current for any Qi Wireless?? I looked at the Nokia and it says Charger input current: 300 mA
Charger output current: 750 mA ... what is the input current and the output current if somebody knows???

there's no standard output for Qi chargers, the better ones will output around 8-1000mah. Around 700mah is enough to charge the phone slowly with the screen on. The stock usb charger you get with the N4 is rated for 1200mah but averages around 900mah.

Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and ordered one. The seller is very responsive with any questions you have. Not only is he the seller but he is using one with his Nexus 4. He vows never to go back to a usb plug for charging. I'll post some pictures and review once I receive my next week.

This is great that there are Chinese knock offs for this industry. Hopefully, that means there is enough market in this area for the phone manufacturers to further integrate in their future releases, significantly driving down costs. While this is a nice to have, I cant's justify the value of a wireless charger for my lifestyle where I use three chargers. While I may not the "typical" user, it doesn't make sense to spend upwards of $136 on chargers, especially since this is a highly developing technology that's likely to change by the time I would need another phone in 12-24 months. I'd be interesting to see how many people one vs multiple chargers with their smartphones. I'll be interesting to see what happens to the future of wireless charging. Some things that currently exist already look like significant improvements: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/10/wireless_charging/
but I digress...
How is the quality? Would you say it feels more solid or plastic?

I ordered a few different lengths 1.5, 3ft, 6ft, because the regular usb cables (of which i have a million now) don't seem to charge for **** on the s5. I also got a braided style, flat ribbon style, and of course in neon colors so i can find the correct cable in a pile of others.

Links please for best braided/material wrapped or high quality cable you have found.. Going to order a few since it's impossible to get a wireless back plate right now and hate seeing better cables right after I order lol.. Thanks guys!

Btw the braided cable i got doesn't charge more than 1.1 amps. The thicker cables typically will allow full amp draw.
Often times the cheapest cables will end up working perfectly, so don't have any fear there. The phone has a charge controller and will recognize any problems with the cable and prevent flow to the battery.

Up or down angle charge-only cable?

Hey folks, I need an up/down angle charge-only MicroUSB cable for my Note 4.
I can find right and left angle that provide quick charge rates but cannot find any up or down angle, which is what my need is at the moment.
Something that looks like this slow-charging startech cable:

Are you talking about the ones that look like a "U" shaped plug, where the cable wraps around the backside of the phone?
If so, the only place I seen anything like that has been at electronic stores and Amazon e-reader Kindle displays. I managed to talk to store manager at one of these stores who let me trade the cable out with a cable I bought from the store. I won't mention the store name because that doesn't matter, it's strictly YMMV when it comes to this.
Honestly its the only place I could find one but this was a few years ago and they could be available now.

Have anyone tried charging dock + spare battery deal from AliExpress?

Hey guys,
Have anyone tried this desktop charging dock and a pretty bad looking spare battery? The seller warns right off the bat that the battery has lower mAh than listed, so I would assume the overall quality of the items is low, but maybe I'm wrong? Thanks.
Here's the link to Aliexpress item
It looks very similar to Monoy charging dock that is present on Amazon.
Also, does anyone know any good spare batteries that are present on AliExpress?

Dude i have! Look at my Thread but except the Charging Dock!
Edit: btw it's on the G4 Thread

Pretty sure that's the same one on Amazon, that's what i have - works great and spare charges quick enough, but I'm using an OEM spare i got for 9$ on Amazon too
The dock is easy enough to use, phone sets in nice when naked and has a removable plate if you want to have a case on your phone - note only the tiniest of cases will work though still
Only issue is the led lights are rather bright and annoying for siting next to my bed - have a piece of tape over it
For a cheap dock i would say go for it but don't expect the knock off battery to be all that nice
Oh and my wife has had the same style one for her g4 over a year now so i expect good longevity with this too
