NS homemade dock - Nexus S Accessories

hello!
I'm going to use my car stereo as an indoor one to hook it up via either BT or 3.5mm jack to my NS, but I don't want to spend on a Samsung dock yet, but I'd rather do some DIY... also, official dock doesn't have audio connector :/
So, is there a way to automatic set dock mode using the USB cable?
I remember something about using resistances in the plug, but couldn't find the thread :/
Any help appreciated

Docking Station

Has anyone picked one up yet? Are you waiting for the official one to be released? Thoughts..
By the way, the Nexus 7 has been great for me so far.:good:
Are there docks available now? Can't find any on amazon or ebay

I'm waiting for one making use of the 4 pins on the side of the tables so you just put it down, no need to plug microusb in or anything.

The N7's charging slot is flipped around so be careful when purchasing docks that aren't made specifically for the N7.

If anyone gets this dock, let us know if you are able to flip the usb connection around. Also sound quality.
Edit: From the looks of the manual, the usb cord can be moved. This looks like an option. I too would like to see one that makes use of the pogo pins. Soon maybe.

Micro USB to HDMI Adapter

The razr i has only got a micro usb port you probably know...
Somewhere i heard it would be possible via an adapter to get hdmi signal out of this port...
Can soneone guide me to one of those adapters or is one already shipped with the device?
Thanks

One is not shipped with the device, but if the USB does support HDMI out that would be fun to try for inclusion in other mods.
You'll need to know if the razr i is MHL compliant. If not you should not be able to have HMDI output on the microUSB.
If so, you'll just need a MHL adaptator, something like this:

EDIT: Cancelled.
Apparently it doesn't work on the M, so I'd be surprised if it worked on the i. It will be cool if it does, though.
it does haves a dock app do ,and somewhere in manual and info papers that comes with the phone, you can read several statements that point to a dock port

Hi Robert,
Do you own a PS3, XBox or Apple Tv????
The reason I ask is because if you download app called 'DoubleTwist' from google play store this consolidates all of your music and videos into one application instead of having seperate apps for each.... Once you have this downloaded and all your content on you can download there paid app called 'AirTwist' for double Twist.
once you have these 2 seetings you can wirelessly send your videos and music over any wifi network to a Playstation 3, Apple Tv or Xbox and no need to have cables lying round and probably costs the same if not less than buying the cable!
Hope this helps and if so please don't forget to press the Thanks Button on the left under my user name

[Q] OTG while Charging GCam

Hey guys, any idea if this will work? Saw some otg with power from ebay. Read in nexus 7 forum that they were able to do it, was hoping it will also work with our device, but i think they used a custom kernel to be able to work, does stock samsung kernel supports this?
Im planning to makr my GCam a mini pc

Sad to say it didnt work for me, i think we need to compile the kernel to enable it and make our own cable by adding 40.2k ohm resistors on ID pin

Smart Dock...

Worth every penny. Got 35% off, even though I would have paid full price for it. Anyone else has it?
What is it? Lol what does this dock do...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Have it, love it. Just installed XBMC on my Note 2 and its so good
The concept to me is really cool. If I didn't already have a laptop it would fill my needs for a computer. Still pricey though...

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?
I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.
What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

XBMC is a media player.

I love it on my HTPC but haven't tried the android version yet.

There is also another one that is the same but has a slot to charge a spare battery.

It works just like plugging in a standard Micro usb cable into your phone. Option-wise that is.
Thanks for posting the links I might purchase one of these
The op posted about the smart dock. The thread is called smart dock. He said he got 35% off, and still hasn't told anyone how. People keep posting about chargers for some reason? The smart dock gives you the ability to use the full functionality of the mhl http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#section_5
It's not a charger.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

... that come with a 3.5" audio plug and have an integrated amp or something, e.g. pc-speakers.
