Well I finally bought the Streak docking station. I havent hooked it up to HDMI yet so I cant tell you about that yet.
What I can tell you is.. the plastic holder part.. The clear thing you insert, I dont know, I mean seems solid enough but I cant help but feel that it could break, I dont know. That and things make a odd sound when you jiggle the tablet while its docked.
Aside from that, GOD this dock is nice. I mean its angled just right for doing things, visibility is great! Good for video watching and so. Also playing finger based games like angry birds, this thing runs great. Also least it can charge separately from the usb connection to the PC. All I need to find now is a way to access my network files to play videos remotely and I am set. =D
I agree on the dock being nice. I bought two, one for in the office and the other at home. The dock mode of the streak can be a bit annoying at times especially when you lock the tablet with a pin. Posting via Galaxy S as waiting on replacement streak 7 from Dell. Still love the Streak though not working right now.

Btw I havent tested this part yet with HDMI, If you hook it up, do your games show up on the TV? Would be cool to have your emulators displaying on the TV. Heh.
Hmmm.... I think I might give the dock a try. I have a few extra HDMI cables laying around. I'll try it out and post what happens.
I've had the dock for about 2 weeks now. Works great, HDMI looks decent, not HD obviously, but it looks good and I am able to watch movies on my 56inch with no problems.... To me it was worth it, you can get them for cheap on ebay just to let everyone know.

Forgot to mention that everything DOES show up on your TV. I have been playing super mario world a couple nights a week now lol
How can I buy this dock in Vietnam???
I picked up one these docks on eBay for $50 w/ a OEM car charger.
Nice solid feel on the dock but sometimes I wish it had a mode where you could have a case on & have it nicely dock as well...
HDMI out is a nice +
I just wished it worked with Honeystreak. I hope dell releases honeycomb because I love using my doc to watch movies in the bedroom.
Hello
I'm new owner of Streak 7 - from Poland. I'm looking for one dock station for my S7 to be able to play hdmi on my tv. Problem is, that in Poland it's hard to get a dock.
Maybe anyone of you is about to sell one and could send it to Poland?
Thank you in advance

I would say check ebay. Most people ship everywhere.
Also yea, playing emulators works great on it. Also another perk.. if you use wiimote IME. You could have your streak docked, away from you and you can use the wii mote or classic controller to move the menu around too and open apps and so. Very handy.

I have had some strange issues with with getting HDMI working on various DJ Steve's build but I chalked that up just not be official?
I'm running
StreakDroid HD7-2.0 R1
I think that is the latest...
anyone else having any issues? I'm sure the "offical" build will support it... I'm sure...
I'm running his HC build and it works fine for the most part. I can't get rid of the bottom status bar, and in comparison to my Logitech Revue, the Revue streams Amazon video much smoother and the PQ seems to be better as well. I'm usng the stock browser and I get a few video freezes where the sound keeps going, had some lip sync issues, and some other minor things. He Revue

i need a dock and data cable for streak 7 in pakistan,,, is thr any way i can get 1.???
Maybe. Tried Ebay or Amazon? Alot of people will ship worldwide.
what are some alternatives to the official dock like the g2 slacker? looking for something under $20 as both the official dock and the g2 dock go for at least 30 on ebay.
g2 slacker, while "looks" like same port, I doubt it is. Or would work. If you need a cheap alt,
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334806828&sr=1-1
HOWEVER I should mention these docks DO NOT have hdmi! So they will charge, and seperate cable to sync. However.. a dell streak dock without hdmi.. seems silly..? I know for me.. hook to HDMI, Use BT keyboard/touchpad (and I can run dos!) or BT gamepad and I can run emulators. Thats nice on a TV. =)
The slacker dock only supports USB-IN, it doesnt support anything else on the S5/S7
Things missing from the slacker dock (that's available on the 2nd gen official dock):
Line-out
USB-in (ie OTG)
USB-high speed charing
HDMI-out
Dock sense (where the device automatically goes into clock mode)
The slacker dock has a headphone out, but the S5/S7 dont support it either (it may not have the pins for that, if it does it's different anyway). The slacker dock also has pads for USB-in, but that model was never officially made available(?).
Also I would STRONGLY recommend against a slacker dock for the S7 (if you can even find one), the S5 is a lot lighter then the S7.
The S7 barely fits on it, but it has absolutely no support besides the port itself.
The S5 already places all it's weight on the dock port, the S7 is asking to be broken by any accidentical impact.
If you are willing (or can find it at a reasonable price), I would strongly recommend the official 2nd gen dock for either the S5/S7.
It includes 2 backplates to support either model.
Also, the S5 dock in the previous link likely wont fit the S7, that's the reason the official dock comes with 2 backplates.
Your only real choice for the S7 is the official 2nd gen dock.
Oh fyi, amazon has it on sale right now for 30$ the official one.
Are we sure the Offical Dell Dock has OTG?! I can't find documentation on that AT ALL.
So I have been looking for a stout solution to mount my phone in the car and read a few of the older threads but found nothing cheap enough to just try for fun. Then I saw this!
Go on DealExtreme and search for item number 65864 and youll see the unit. I cant post links on the forum it says!
Reallly inexpensive car mount for a i9000 and when I compare the dimensions of the Nexus S, They are really close. Anyone have idea on whether this will work or not? I am guessing with a case on it will 100% not work but the rest of the time?
You know, I bet any car mount for an iPhone 3G/3GS would work fine with the Nexus. Most mounts out there are fairly universal anyway.
Hey guys,
I'm fantasizing about a car dock, preferably a vent holder, where I can snap my N7 on in the way to work. (Over an hour commute)
Wondering... is anything like this available or in production? Thanks!

Car Mount
I have a Mountek's CD Slot Mount, Universal Hands-Free Car Mount for Cell Phones & GPS Devices which holds my Galaxy Nexus with room to spare, I am hoping come Friday when my tablet arrives to test this out, if it holds up I will take some pictures and give a review.

I would love something like this that would hold it in landscape format.
I picked up one of these Ram mounts to use with my Nook Color a little while back. It's OK, but I'm not crazy about it.
I'd really like to find something custom fitted for the N7. Pogo charging pins would be great too. Hopefully Google and/or Asus come out with a full range of docking options.
How about this?

Learned years ago from my Palm Pre, and re-inforced by my Thunderbolt, that running GPS and Pandora over bluetooth while charging in the car caused the device to get too hot and shut down. Windshield mounts are a no no for this reason (let alone of 7" tablet up there).
The CD slot mount is a good idea, will be interested to see if it (or another one) will hold the tablet.

Never had this issue with my Thunderbolt nor my Galaxy Nexus, and both made the 15 hour drive to Florida with Nav and wifi hotspot running the whole time.

Yeah, I've done that with my old DX and my GNex, and they never shut down. This is in Cleveland, and at least one time I remember it was in mid-90 degree temps.
As to the OP, if we can get a car dock with POGO pins (since we apparently can't get one that doesn't require a crapload of sanding for the Verizon GNex), that would be awesome. Pop that in the dock, enable wifi-tethering, and you're good to go. And the larger screen would be great in a car.

I found this on ebay.
That CD mount looks interesting. Does that remove the capability of using a cd? Would the car think a cd is going in and try to pull it in ? D: That looks pretty awesome. I might get it.

I'm really hoping there's a car dock that takes advantage of the pogo pins as well. I'm not going to really get my hopes up but it would be awesome. I've looked into the Ram Mount X-Grip for tablets along with various mounting parts but something that was all in one that charged it would be ideal. Maybe the Nexus 7 will be popular enough for a third party to make one specific for it, maybe proclip will do it.
Yup - not a fan of anything "Suction Mount" ... I've had them give out and fall down while driving, and can be a real pain / hazard. Cup-holder arms, vent mounts, or even a good CD mount.. sounds great to me.. a nice all-in-one snap in place w/ pins would be ideal.
This one is a bit more expensive but looks well made.

I am usually weary about suction mounts but their phone mount is amazingly strong and has never failed on me.

For those of us with kids, the headrest mount looks like a nice solution for those long trips.

Hi
Has anyone seen an official Car dock for the Razr i ?
I found a Razr M dock on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1350308561&sr=1-11
It should be fully compatible with the Razr i, but not shipped outside US.
I Hope Motorola will sell the same here for our Razr i. I own a Defy + the official car dock and love the quality of it. Will buy a Motorola one for the Razr i without any hesitation
I answer to myself.
For those who are interested by a good car mount, the Razr M official fit 100% with Razr i.. as expected.
I ordered one on Ebay, got it today.
Can be used even with a case (3 sizes: without case, with a fine one, or with a large one)
Only thing that bother me: no car dock detection. SmartAction or Tasker doesn't detects the dock. Maybe it's not activate on this early rom we have, as Motorola doesn't sell on official dock for the Razr i.
Now I use a Tasker profil launched by a shortcut, but I wait for some NFC tag I ordered to do this
Motorola has said it won't be making a car dock (but I suspected that M one would work). Whyever not? The RAZR i is shipping in many markets and Intel is keen to promote it. It has fairly good distribution too.
It's as odd as Asus/Google deciding not to release the dock for the Nexus 7; a tablet selling by the truck load and winning awards left, right and centre - with new life thanks to more storage and 3G variants!
Sometimes I do wonder about the sanity of those in charge!

Oh yeah... 100% with you...
I don't get what your problem is, if the Razr M dock fits perfectly, why don't you just get this one?
A possible Razr I dock would be just the same anyway.
They're not exactly freely available here (UK) though and how many will Motorola sell, given the official UK line is there is no dock for the phone?
I bet loads of people will import one at great cost and fear no support if they have problems (Moto UK saying it's not designed to work with it).
The RAZR i is Motorola's best chance all year of getting back into the game and the lack of accessories seems rather dumb to me.
The Razr M car dock is available on ebay and ships worldwide.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-MOTOR...ccessories&hash=item257664e30d#ht_5310wt_1271
It's quite expensive though..
I might try that but I am sure most wouldn't. If it failed, would Motorola UK/EMEA honour the warranty?

When you dock the phone it should be detected, and be able to launch car mode (with smart action, or tasker).
With a razr m it's working, I asked on the razr m section... Not with the I.
So what think about this: maybe it's just a software issue, Motorola hasn't activate the sensor on the I
But, maybe there's no sensor on the I and it would never work as it should.
But there's a workaround by using nfc
Just sad to see there's some decision made that are out of sens: why not selling a car dock for the I when there's one 100% identical for the m?
I use Smart Actions to trigger vehicle mode when it connects to my car kit.
You can do this, but there's a flaw
Smart action will only bring up car app, but not set "car mode" on.
Explanation : when car mode is ON, when you hit the home button you go to the car app. If car mode is not "on", home button act as normal and bring you on the default launcher.. With is not very practical when you drive.
And for me, blutooth is off until I'm docked, I launche the bt, gps, etc while docking the phone.
Yesterday I receive my nfc tag... It's working pretty well with Tasker. (nfc use less battery than bt always on)
Yes that is an issue. I have a few Sony Smart tags so I'll set one of those up instead.
I am sure it will be a simple software issue, but Moto obviously decided early on it wasn't going to make accessories.
Given Google's input (stripping away almost all Moto apps, Webtop, HDMI out) and Google's lack of accessories for the Nexus 7 (I wonder if this will also be the case for the Nexus 4 and 10?) I wonder if there's a theme here?
Brodit
as a long time Brodit (www.brodit.se) user I wondered what to do using their mount in my car.
Actually I used their universal holder part 511230 which fits nicely. Only issue was the USB port was covered on the side so I used my multitool..... see attached pics.

you may wait Brodit release a Razr M/i support.
For sur they'll do it.

Well, I asked them about it but they did not say they would do one....at least this is good enough "for the interim" for me......
Razr i Spot with Auto Vehicle Detected
http://www.razri.com/uk/ (scroll to SmartActions)
Yep
Smartaction has a trigger for car dock, since beginning.
But at this time it doesn't detect the dock.
But there was an update of smartaction recently (via Play store), maybe did they add the support... I'll try it asap.
Motorola support say to me, delete the cardock app cache and test again. Test is fail
The german instructions say, that a shortcuts can be on Homescreen.

I had asked them if they'd be creating a holder for the RAZR i/M shortly after the RAZR i came out, and they stated there were no plans to. Alas, one of the main blocking issues for me for picking up one of these (along with the lack of custom ROM progress.. )
Hello!
I have found a workaround for the Car-Dock app launcher.
Install Car dock home v3 from playStore
Install this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18557944&postcount=6
Try docking your Razr I in the Car-Dock. It should ask you wich app you want to use. select the Motorola App. And it should start as soon you put your phone into the dock.
Made a video how i tested it. Actually I don't own the dock, but i will get it in a couple of days. There is a magnet in my laptop as you see. Thats how it also worked with my old Milestone 2.

As per title really...
We have 40+ cars where I work that are just about to swap over to Desire C's from our old Orbit XDAII's and was wondering if anybody had any recommendation for car cradles. Priority would be robustness (our drivers are notoriously heavy handed with their tech) and preferably with the charger built in.
I don't seem to be able to find much online specifically for these units, just a lot of tatty looking universal stuff that's not really going to cut the mustard.
All suggestions gratefully received, thanks in advance good people of XDA
