No, this is the one that was released at launch, this is the one that also causes the non-responsive screen issues on the Incredible.
I'm a bit peeved Incredible isn't getting any fancy docks like the Moto Droid got, and Seidio cancelled there desk/car/innotraveler docks.

why aren't they more readily available?

That i couldn't say because i have no idea
i just know that Verizon has done a poor job at marketing/supporting this phone. not only did they botch the launch there not even trying to get accessory support nor are they marketing it as much as they are Moto Droid

They r said to vamp up the marketing once the phone is back n stock. I have a friend who is a regional manager at vzw and he says as soon as they start shipping again the are going to have a huge push for this phone. He already has new window posters and a stock pile of t shirts for when try start shipping again. No point in advertising something that u don't have to sell n the first place right?

Well it seems ridiculous that my phone has a tv out function but no cable. The original Droid had car docks, home docks, and a wealth of other accessories. I feel like I've been forgotten about.

I feel like he's telling the truth and we will see some heavy advertising for our DInc. This is still a badass phone guys. I own a N1 and to me my DInc is better hands down.

I had that car mount and it was a piece of sh... I wouldn't buy it again. It broke within a week and if you have a case on your phone, it won't fit anymore.

I have this dock and its great! Like that it has the belt clip detachment. Yes you do have to take your case off to use it though but that takes all of 5 seconds. I havent experienced the grounding issues in this dock at all, think that was with those cheap universal styrofoam ones.

LapTop Dock

Will the laptop dock for the Atrix work for the bionic?

No.

Lapdock
They are flipped. I just ordered a refurbed unit from the AT&T site for $175 and just plan to flip the connectors. There is a user on here that already did so for the Sprint Photon. Will let you know how it goes and take lots of pics when it comes in on Wed.

awesome I cant wait to see how it turns out for you.

Atrix Dock works fine!!!
I can confirm the ATRIX doc works fine with connectors flipped. Very simple to do. Remove 2 screws and modify the holes. I will get some pics up shortly.

I don't know how nice you want it to be, but I'll be producing some models once my 3d printer comes in =\ I ordered it 3 weeks ago they take forever -_-; says "ready to be packaged" I already have a few designs and concepts ready to go. Everything from no work required to custom work.

Wireless Charging case

Anyone hear anything about a case that can enable wireless charging/Qi for the G2 that is non-Verizon? I heard in Europe they are getting something like that but any updates or news that you heard of please share!

Good luck.

Well in Europe LG has decided to launch Verizon LG G2 with wireless charging case and it will be only for Verizon carriers....and not for others so its quite unfair with the other carriers and dnt knw why LG is biased with other carriers.....aah thats not fair.....

someone should just start making a case/batt case with wireless charging tapped in, wouldn't be too hard and the receivers are thin as hell

thats a nice idea - but what would it plug into? there are no contacts for a wireless charging case to actually get the voltage into the phone on my International G2.
I don't see how LG will ever make one to be honest..

Just a heads up, the new dodge dart has a qi pad in it and u can buy a thing that plugs into the charging port and sticks to a case and charges via a qi pad, however they r not available yet but will be soon. Not much details other than a pic and description during training but it looks promising as sine kind of generic device. It appears to stick to the back of a tpu type case and they show it on an iphone and what looked like an s3/note2 possibly, but it was a goofy footprint shaped maybe 1/8" thick thing shaped like a snowman with two circles one the size of a quarter and the other a little bigger than a Eisenhower with a wraparound piece that plugged into the micro plug. It doesn't look horrible but definitely weird and doesn't explain any details like how it deals with an upside down Jack or phone thicknesses. They also list a couple other case styles such as a silicone jacket looking thing on an iphone and a Jack that went to a small square pad. Its to drop with the 14 dart, which we are ordering now. Just saw it today though.

Most websites say the same about not a qi device, but the new Avalon is an actual qi charger. Our training did not elaborate, so no word on compatibility from Chrysler

I'd assume there would be a way to direction charge the battery and bypassing the phone, but Idk maybe extra chargeplates on the batt itself? no idea..thats beyond me

what about this one?

Looks interesting, but I couldn't find it in any shop.
I found this one instead on ebay: Type A Micro USB Qi Wireless Universal Charger Tag Receiver Coil For LG G2 New
Maybe with this you can build your own Qi Case with any standard case. I bought one and will report if and how it works.

Hmm, that's pretty cool. Didn't know they made those, that makes it quite a bit easier.
I found one which seems quite a bit cheaper and doesn't include a case, ect.

Who wants to give it a try lol..

I really wish LG would come out with something by now. The phone has been out for a while and they should have released the case they announced by now.

I just ordered one of these. That said, because I have no existing charging mats/plates around, I'll have to order some right away. Since this solution uses the usb port, that means unlike native solutions, I cannot both charge by cable and by wireless. I'll have to completely switch over to wireless for the most part.
So did any of the earlier posters end up getting any of these? Any feedback?

Let us know how it works, I'll probably bite the bullet and get one too. Which one did you order?

The only problem with that is, you would have to unplug it if you wanted to plug the phone into a pc and say transfer files. Sure there are wireless means of doing that, but some people would rather a physical connection to transfer.

sure, but there is no other way since lg decided to make wireless charging Verizon only... And I hate wires anyway so to me it's not a problem at all.

With how often I really do that since LTE is faster than residential comcast, I'd rather just unplug the charger when I needed to. Anything I need on or off my phone is generally just synced to dropbox because that's where I'm gonna need it anyways.

I ordered this one, from eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/350926538893
I was skeptical that it included the cover as it didn't specify but it did ask me to pick a colour, so we'll see, heh.

Good dock?

Has anyone found a good dock yet? I found a few on Amazon but none of them are specifically for the g2.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

Did you search before starting this thread? I think not. This has been asked several times.
Are you looking for a car dock or one for home? Truth is, there are not very many made specifically for the G2. And the generic ones are pretty much crap in my opinion.

Yeah I did actually but all I could find were threads about a car dock but I'm looking for a home dock.

So when I'm laying in bed or at my desk I can just grab my phone without having to worry about it getting unplugged and looking for the charger, I can simply just set it back on the dock after im done.

I just use a wireless charging pad. I'd imagine the Nexus 4 & 5, and Galaxy s3 and and st docks might work. a centered USB port is really all you need if you're looking for a dock that plugs in

why is this verizon only? the charging port is in the same spot on the other models. I thought the verizon model would use wireless charging. but since this has a port it should technically work for any model right?

I think it is because Verizon's G2 has different dimensions @[email protected]

i read elsewhere on here that the dimensions were not all that different. but still at $40 for a charging dock Ill just get some plexiglass and a heat gun and make my own :laugh:

It's funny how you think $40 is expensive for a dock. Here in Denmark that price makes me want to get two or three x)

Agreed. I paid almost $100 with shipping to get a POGO dock for my GNex. I stream Pandora all day at work so being able to just pick my phone up and go is super convient and not have to worry about the audio plug also.
Just ordered the VZW Dock.

Well 2 things. The dock doesn't do media only charges/data transfer so I still have to manually disconnect the audio plug which kind of sucks.
Secondly I do not know anyone has the G2 other then on VZW. So mail me yours and I will try it out.
