I wish they had a docking station. I saw one but it was kinda cheesy. Kyocera should make one. I've never had a smart phone where they didn't offer a docking station.
That would be nice.
I use to have an Archos 5 with a docking station -- was pretty wicked -- allowed remote control operation, svideo input to route to tv and 5.1 audio hookups.
Something like that for the zio would be wicked.
@xmicroman where did you find a docking station for zio i wouldnt mind having one either!
i saw cut and folded a paper plate to make a diy prototype stand maybe someone could improve the idea why the original idea i saw a leather onefor $15 on the net
Did you know that you can press the clock and the dim gear on the top right put it inthe stand while charging on your nightstand after a couple of minutes the screen goes black withonly the time and stays on all night like an alarm clock

just a heads up... no tools are required to remove the doors. carefully pull on it and it will unplug. also you can pop the back off and unscrew the case as it is what pinches the clip into place. honestly I just pulled on mine and it popped right off. I saved the USB cover in case i decide to take the screws out to put it back together.
hope this helps some

The zio docks on ebay weren't designed to dock a zio with a rubber case and the usb door would have to be plucked. What a hassle.

I have been searching for both a vehicle mount as well as a desktop dock for my Nexus S since I got it in December. While there have been a few 3rd party solutions trickling into existence, it's nice to see some official Samsung love! I can't post links yet, but check it out on their website: samsung.com by searching for ECS-V1A3BEGSTA or BECS-V1A3BEG (both seem to be model numbers). There currently isn't a price and if you add it to your cart it says it's on back order (for $0). But at least we know it's coming! Hope to see an official desk dock soon as well.
Also, interesting, it says it has an integrated charger (which is one thing I really want in a car mount), but I fail to see any evidence of it in the pictures. I'm curious how it works. I would also really like to see an integrated audio output, preferably (if possible) through the same micro USB connection as the charging and then allow for the 3.5mm output to split from the mount. This is what I used to do with my original MT3G and it was great to only have to make one connection to the phone.

Interestingly the back plate of the dock appears to have a cutout for the camera and speaker, but they are in the wrong position (wrong side in each case) given how the phone sits in the dock. I am also curious how they are going to do integrated charging. Perhaps those images aren't a final product shot.

It took Samsung to officially release the Galaxy S docks about 3-4 months after its release in the U.S. So I'm assuming it's going to take just as long for this dock to come out.

Indeed, this would make more sense. I'm unsure how they would have integrated charging unless they somehow had a different back plate for the phone that would allow for conductive charging.
I'll still pick it up for $40 when it's available. It's a lot better than the the "universal" options out there. It is too bad the Nexus S doesn't have the contact/charging pins like the Nexus One did - that was a nice car dock to own (although a bit more pricey).
New description:
The vehicle navigation mount holds your Nexus S Handset securely while you travel.The Vehicle Power Charger is included in the package. The holder has a convenient easy snap-in and a thumb release to remove the phone from the holder.

So while fixing my screen lift today I realized how easy it was to take the backing off. This got me thinking, do you think we will be able to find the white backing that came on Google I/O edition Nexus 7s? It would take 5 minutes to swap the backs out, and I think the white ones look great. Thoughts?

If they're not UV protected, then yeah, white will yellow pretty easily. I'm a little worried about snapping off the back cover to exchange it for something else. Maybe a skin would be better instead?
The white backing version looks like crap after a short while... it's subject to staining.

You could probably paint it but you would get rid of the lether feel.
They do make soft-feel paints. Looks like it would be real easy to make it any color you'd want... just not as durable as the original. Easier just to buy a TPU case.

+1 on plastidip. i just love it. The white spray also quickly "fixes" white soled shoes. I believe there is also a clear spray but I've never seen it at any stores.
I'm hoping for ultra thin 0.2-0.5mm tpu soon.. Then I'll just pick a color of my liking.

Not sure, I've never disassembled something, plastidipped it, and then put it back together. It does leave some added thickness, but it's not very much at all and I don't even know how I'd measure it. Only one way to find out, right? Worst case scenario you are out less than $10 and you just peel it off if it sucks.
You could just do it with the device assembled, the plastidip isn't going to hurt anything. Just tape off the edges and the speaker.
I've always been annoyed by the horrible noise coming form my speakers, so I did some experimenting and it worked here's how to do it:
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Remove the black fabric covering the faulty speaker(s).
3. Place a piece of electrical tape directly on the speaker.
This will very slightly lower the volume but it alleviates the racket made by the poorly made drivers. This may not work for everyone.

Good Luck!

You don't rip the back cover off. It's just held in place by some clips. There's no way anyone will be able to tell you took the back off if you doing correctly.

Sorry, this sounds like a terrible idea. The speakers seem to only be popped over the coil, the real fix would prevent them from coming off of the base. I have reattached mine three times now but they eventually pop back up after some loud notification or such.
Better speakers would be nice, the n7's are just awful.
I fixed my speaker issues or at least reduced it so it's not too bad...
1) remove the back cover
2) now look at the speaker grill from the inside of the back cover. It is a small piece of metal plate with fine holes in it. This is only tack welded to the back cover in a few spots. There may be a couple of pieces of tape from the factory already holding the center section of the plate.
3) now use a few small strips of tape and hold down the rest of the plate at its edges...
4) resemble the nexus 7 and test it out...
The cracking sounds are not as noticeable anymore...
Ymmv....
I am also thinking about removing the little plate all together, or replacing it with a plastic mesh or some thin foam...

Thanks! I just ordered the cheapest Bluetooth ODB2 plug on amazon. It would have been super easy but the odb2 plug on my car was downward facing so the giant wireless odb2 transmitter was hanging down and interfering with my legs. I unscrewed the odb2 plug and relocated it. I then plugged in an odb2 extension cable and routed it under the center console down to the parking brake area so I can see all the blinking lights, heh.
The Torque software was a breeze to link up to the bluetooth transmitter, and setting up the car information was easy too.
Used this adapter (or one that looks exactly like it heh)
Good job. Very clean looking.
Did the N7 unlock itself when you started it? How?
Right now, I'm just using 3 clips that holds mine over my stock unit but seeing more and more dash installs, I may be ordering me a spare bezel soon!

I purchased an app called "Tasker" that performs configurable "tasks" when events happen. I configured it so that when AC or USB power is connected to bring up the tablet, set timeout to 23 hours 59 minutes, turn on wifi, and some other things I want to happen. I also set it so that when power is disconnected, it sleeps after 7 seconds, turns off wifi and bluetooth, and some other things.
Next thing is to get some kind of anti-glare screen deal... i like it clean like this, but the glare is bad sometimes.

I didn't think I was going to need to root my 7 but my "Tasker" app isn't killing the apps I want killed when I turn off the car. You can use root to kill them but only if you have a rooted device, of course. So I'll probably take care of that tonight. Going to have to read up on how to do that.

I keep threatening myself with doing something similar but it's bugging me as to how to hold the Nexus in place. I have a 2003 Impreza and although it's double-DIN, it's just a gaping hole, nothing to mount it against.

Thats kinda how any of them are. I'll take some pics tonight and post them of how I mounted it. Basically I took the double din kit I bought and, using a dremil with a cut-off disk, sliced off all the stuff down to the basic bracket that holds the kit to the car's dash. I then cut off two pieces of paint stirring sticks (the free wooden ones you get from home depot) to go across the bracket and epoxy'ed them onto the bracket. I then drilled 4 holes the size of the magnets and epoxy'ed them in place. Then I epoxy'ed three strips of hobby metal strips with holes in them (you get them at Lowes where all the bins of nuts and bolts are) to the back of the nexus 7.
any plans for bluetooth handfree phone calls?
I recently got a Nexus 7 also and plan to do an in-dash install. After looking at a number of projects like this around the web there is one thing I cannot find a really good solution for: hands free Bluetooth for my phone.
Ideally I would like to use the tablet to make and receive calls via Bluetooth through my phone just like you can with many Bluetooth enabled in dash decks.
I have looked at a couple apps to aid in this like: Tablet Talk, and GrooveIP
While these could possibly provide the feature the remaining problem would be the microphone built in to the tablet.
Have you thought about this for your install? If not, does anyone else know of a setup that would provide an ideal hands-free Bluetooth experience for making and receiving calls?
This looks good..I'm hoping to do something like this once I buy a car..
So I was out shopping with my wife and came across this. Thought it was pretty cool so I decided ti get it. Problem is that the base part won't fit the phone because it's too small. I'm trying to find a way to have it fit but not sure where to begin. .. any ideas? I(t's a Hype retro handset, but also included the base (or dock), which is where the issue is...

I really like the handset part. Just had a 3 hour long conversation with my dad and it was onky toward the end that my ear started to hurt a little lol.

what is it?
It is a retro styled device that turns your phone into a 80's style desk phone. You can either rest your phone in the base part (or dock) and connect it through the supplied 3.5mm jack or you can use the handset piece separate and also plug just that part into the 3.5mm jack.
Here I thought I was bad taking pictures :laugh:
Guess its cute but how practical is it

It's something I could definitely see using at home. I had the phone in my front pocket and the handset hooked into the jack and was able to use it with no issues. The handset also has its own volume adjustment which is nice. That said, it's probably not for everyone...
It might look a bit strange carrying around the handset piece and using it in public hehe. For a relatively older guy like me (I'm 36), I grew up with these kinds of phones so it definitely appeals to me.
My sister in law just got herself the handset piece (you can buy it separate) and she likes it too.
The base (dock) will accomodate most other phones. But the Note 2 is too wide to fit the opening... so I'm trying to think of ways to either make it fit or some other solution..
Maybe this pic will help clarify...
That's my wife's Galaxy S3 in there..

I quick searched ebay but couldn't find the exact device.
The closest one I could find (and really nice imo) is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Ret...256356?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abf12bda4
I think it'll work on our phones, my only question is about that port on the back side that looks like a typical phone line port. I'm not sure what is it for, plus I cannot figure out whether the device actually charges the phone too..

I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond. Funny because they don't list it on their website either. The closest thing they have listed is the handset piece itself.. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=40088341&RN=2017&KSKU=203210&
Here's a couple box shots...

There is one 3.5mm female jack on the left side of the device that the handset connects to. The handset can either be connected to that, or you can connect it directly to the phone's 3.5mm jack. If you connect the handset to the device, there is a male 3.5mm jack that is used as a passthrough for the handset to connect to the phone. At the bottom of the device the hole you see is to pass a cord for a wall charger, so no, the device itself won't charge your phone. Hope that clears things up a bit.
