Samsung Focus Dock

Hey Guys
Do you know if there is a dock for the Focus out there or if the dock for the Galaxy S will work?

lol - that's why I edited my post - I had asked the same question. Turns out it goes in landscape so the plug fits on the side.

This is the only thing I could really find for a car dock

Lego Dock for Focus
One of the guys at Microsoft built this with 100% lego parts. Very cool! At least until a real dock is released. h**p://bit.ly/dnZSCb

Ok, perhaps not 'docks' yet these are viable stands. The one with the adjustable 'gooseneck' is from Wal*Mart in their car accessory section ($8). You can use a section cup only or, in my case due to wood desk, use the included 3M tape 'coaster' that then the suction cup attached to. You WILL have to remove the foam on the inside of the holding 'arms' to make the phone fit. Works great.
The other is a Samsung "Mobile Phone / MP3 Player Desktop Cradle" P/N:ET-CS01SBEGXAR (around $10). On the bottom of this cradle are places to run a cable as needed.
And yes, i know my phone needs cleaning

I can confirm that the Galaxy S dock does work with the focus. I have both phones and becides the camera and outer plastic they seem hardware identical.

That sucks. So no true dock for now. It's one of the few things I miss from my iPhone.

What sucks? He said the Galaxy S dock DOES work.

I went and bought the galaxy s dock today and I can say that it does NOT work with the focus. The connections are in the same spot, but the depth of the connections are off (the dock's connector is deeper than the focus's port).

So, that prevents the Focus from connecting or just doesn't allow it to sit right? If it's just a problem with how it sits, it may be able to be customized. Maybe you could take some pics?

Thanks for the pics. Looking at the pics, I think I could easily modify that to work. Oh well, I'm not really looking for a doc. But, now I almost want one just to modify it! LOL

I have looked at all the docks for the various Galaxy S devices. From what I have seen, I think the Epic 4G dock may just work for us. The Epic 4G has a hardware keyboard and I'm thinking that will locate the microusb connection in a better position to connect with our device.

I totally read that wrong
I'm not much of a modder, so I guess I'll have to wait for a focus dock.

toothpickj, i looked @ a couple of videos for the epic 4g dock and the micro usb connector is a lot higher up the side than w/the galaxy s.

Official Samsung Car Dock / Desk Dock

Just came across these:
samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-V1A3BEGSTA
samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1A3BEGSTA
Anyone tried these? I'm also wondering if they will work with the Sprint Nexus S 4G - Samsung's page says they will, but the 4G phone is going to be 1mm thicker and they could have just screwed up.

I can't say anything about the car dock because I don't use any. But, as for the desktop dock, I recommend taking a look at the KiDiGi dekstop dock for Nexus S. It looks awesome, it holds it tight into place, and it's not that expensive; also, it has a version with a 2nd battery compartment.

I've got both.
Nothing fancy, no bells or whistles.
Desktop dock has a blue LED to indicate when the phone is plugged in. When it's docked, the phone automatically goes to clock mode. Press the clock app on your phone's desktop to see what it looks like.
Car dock is completely passive. Very sturdy though so the phone sits there without jiggling, even when you press the screen/keys. Cheaper models are sometimes not quite so sturdy.
But both seem very good build quality. I'm happy with both of them.

Mind if I ask where you purchased them from? Samsung's online store always says they're backordered. I've been looking everywhere online for another place that sells these docks ever since the phone came out, but I can't find them for purchase anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have been on the fence about the desktop dock, but may have to buy one! Does it slide in and connect pretty easily?

Yes it plugs in and connects very easily and smoothly.
Feels like a very nice fit between the phone and the desk dock.
With the car dock the fit is very tight, which is good because the phone is not moving from its place at all.

I found mine at best buy last night...they had both car and desk dock. I purchased the desk dock for work and love it. Just used it this morning for first time. Slides in easily and goes into landscape clock app automatically when plugged in displaying time and weather. Very cool!

does it come with a built in bluetooth? like the nexus one dock

I don't believe so...nothing mentioned on the box...just seems to charge phone and throw into landscape dock mode.

I just got a case from the sprint store yesterday. Do you think the phone will still fit in the car dock or will I have to remove the case?

I looked at them both at the local Best Buy. They don't look like they would work with a case so ill probably put just an invisible shield on to use the car dock.

i also have the original samsung dock for note 1 with the usb injector but it does NOT fit!!... i almost broke the usb conection trying to fit it in!
Maybe you have the simple car dock which is just a holder..
i have attached a photo to see which one i have.

Do you mean the OEM one with the expanding side arms?

Does it fit in this original dock?

It fits, but you have to align it because of the size difference. You can't just plop it in like with the original Note.
If I keep my Note 2, I'll get the specific dock for it when it comes out.

Corect! DO not use note 1 dock with usb injector.. I have tried it.. it will eventually damage your new note 2 usb lead which is dodgy anyway!

Here are pictures with the Note 1-Dock and -surprise- the S3-Dock (which looks quite similar to the upcoming Note 2-Dock shown at IFA). The Note 1-Dock isn't really perfect, the Note 2 is too small for it.

You could put some duck tape (or other padding) in to make it fit. I'm thinking about applying some myself as it is a rather handy dock.

What about an orizontal dock with usb and HDMI port for connect to external display?

I used 1/16" x 1/2" foam tape, applying 2 strips to the back surface of the original dock and 2 more (cut down to 1/4" wide) down the sides. Slides in perfectly now.

I'm curious, why is it that there was a problem with the USB connector not fitting? Both are microUSB w/ MHL capabilities and in looking at the pictures, both ports are centered and facing the same direction. If anything, I could see the length of both phones being an issue, but the Note 2 is slightly slimmer (width and depth). Ultimately, I could see the top portion of the mount needing slight modification to fit, but I'm a little perplexed when it comes to the microUSB not working.
Note 1
Note 2
-EDIT- Nevermind...I think the picture of the Note 2, is actually a Note 1 (even though it's labeled a Note 2). Now, looking at some other pictures, it looks like they flipped the position of the microUSB, so it's opposite of how the Note 1 was.

This is the original one not yet released. with HDMI out and two Usb ports

Looks to be the same size and shape as the S3 dock with the fold down stand (which I used for my Note 1 and now for my Note 2)..
The 2 USB ports are nice though... I might have to get one and keep my S3 dock at work

Nice. Thanks for that pic...Okay, I'm almost tempted to order one cheap and see if the original dock can be modified to work properly. Since the Note 2 is thinner (width and depth), I don't think that will be an issue, but it's more-so about the length and the placement of the microUSB connector that I'm worried about. It also does look like the placement of the microUSB slot is further towards the back cover than the Note 1, which is more centered.
I wonder if the ATT stores will have the Car dock out in order for me to try when I get the phone next week.

What about the Samsung's Universal Vehicle Car Holder Mount?
Did somebody use it?

That is a portrait mode charging dock, not landscape one - there is a billion of them out there and it's nothing like the 2 docks I posted, which are landscape mode docks. Also it's for the wrong phone...not sure what's the point of your post

I'm with you, I'm looking for a landscape charging dock similar to my Captivate dock. I'm hoping something will come along soon.

I too would be interested, particularly in a landscape car dock, and just to make it particularly difficult, want to be able to leave the Note2 in the gel case.

I too have been looking for a landscape charging dock this is closest I found
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=170938617225&index=9&nav=SEARCH&nid=57027534825
It charges your phone and a spare battery in portrait it also has a second micro usb socket for data sync. But atleast it also holds the phone in landscape mode when needed. I have this dock and 2 of the batteries and its not bad.

I had the landscape one for my S3, cheap as well, broke apart and it was so cheap that u could twist it to make it fit with a case
You could infact but this one and remote the stand which has the USB input and slide back into ur liking till it lines up with the note 2 bottom

like you said - it holds the phone in portrait mode and it's not what we're looking for...there is a million docks just like this one out there, including official accessory from Samsung, posted on samsungusa website. This doesn't really help....
The links I posted in the OP are for the type of dock we're searching for.

This dock for original Note 1 can be used in both, portrait and landscape mode. This Indian eBay seller insists it fits both Note 1 & 2....Thoughts?

I have one, and when you plug it in the Note 2 recognizes that it's plugged into a dock, but it's loose. This phone is skinnier than the original note, so you have to be careful inserting it and i don't think it would lie on its side well. Maybe it would fit if you had a relatively thin case on your phone.

I want one also. Don't like the portrait kind.
I've had landscape docks before for other phones but this is harder to find.
I don't think there are any yet for the Note II. I just looked overseas.
I can have one made but I'd have to explore how expensive it is.

Cable to use between Note 2 and smart dock

Hi,
I am interested in the smart dock for displaying my note 2 on the HDTV and also connecting USB devices. I have an otterbox defender case and am pretty confident that there is no way the handset will fit in the dock. LOL
I am wondering if it is possible to get a cable, with all pins connected, to connect between the note 2 and the smart dock to give the connectivity of the dock, without actually putting the handset into the dock? Essentially connecting a cable from the port on the note 2 to the plug on the smart dock.
If anyone has tried this, perhaps they could share their thoughts.
Thanks
Duncan

That will not work, as it requires the new 11 pin as designed by Samsung.

I am looking for the exact same thing if anyone has found something.

I'm in the market for an 11 pin micro usb extension cable too. Seems like such a simple thing, but it'd be easier to get bigfoot's autograph than to find one. I bet there are people who'd make it if they knew there was a market. I just wish I knew who they were.

you could use an allshare cast dongle as an alternative.
you connect to your TV over WiFi, and then use a regular otg cable for USB.

I am interested in this too.
I have the Zero Lemon battery and I'm pretty sure it can't fit in my smart dock.
I had the UAG case on before I put in the Zero Lemon and that one didn't fit either so I would just remove the case. But now the case is what is actually holding the battery in so I don't think it'd be wise to remove it for the dock and risk the battery moving around or disconnecting...
If someone comes up with this they will sell a bunch of them!

Would kill for a cable like this. It'd be great to use the dock with my ZeroLemon battery.
