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.

Charging Dock

Looks like AT&T is listing a charging dock for the Vivid now. Has anyone seen one in a retail outlet?

I saw that on their site, too. (LINK) At that price I'm going to pass and wait for the aftermarket ones to show up on eBay.

Has any one tried this dock, just wanted to see if it would work if I had a case around. The last time I got one for Desire HD it fit perfectly but then I could not use a hard/soft case.

Well call it a test.
So, although there are not any charging docks out there for the HTC Vivid, there are charging docks out there for similar phones. That being said, I'm going to purchase this...
generic looking charging dock​...for the HTC Thunderbolt and see how well it works. I figure I might have to give it some support in the back, but all in all it should be a good fit, not to mention the extra battery charging slot will be useless. I'm also going to pick up one of these...
window mount charging docks​...and modify it so the Vivid will fit. The Vivid is .2" wider than the thunderbolt, so I figure it'll just make for a more tight fit.

charging dock and Car Mount
I bought few months ago this car mount (Exomount) from Amazon, I use 2 of them one at home and one in the car, It can hold anything so I use it as dock station too, So far it never failed me I drive around 6 hrs a day and its always sticked to my windshield never had problem with it, plus its cheap $ 15 sorry cant post links just search at Amazon "Exomount Universal Car Mount".

Vivid and dock or on the way from AT&T. Will post pics ASAP and answer any questions. I work for AT&T so I will report back on which cases still fit in the dock, if any, that we sell.

As an update to my original post, I received the window mount that I listed and after cutting off the far left side (the part the wraps around the top corner of the phone) it fit perfectly and it initiates the car mode when I put my phone in. The only downside is that it doesn't work with my TPU case in, but I think I have a plan to fix that

In a weak moment, I coughed up the $50 for this dock. At lease it comes with another wall-to-USB plug and a micro-USB cord. It works great, but I don't use a case. It is a snug fit. I doubt that it would work with any but the thinnest cases (without modification).

do you have a dock that automatically enters dock mode?
Does anybody have a dock, Car or Desk that automatically places the phone into dock mode? As I understand it other docks use a resistor between pins 4 and 5 to place the phone into dock mode. If you have a dock that automatically places your phone into dock mode, could you measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5. I've tried the 365K ohms suggested in another thread but it does not seem to have any effect.
Thanks.

I will try and post this tomorrow.

I have a resistance substitution box so I ran through a bunch of values. What I found is from about 12K to 9.8K Car Dock Mode is selected. From 1000K to 500K Desk Mode is selected. So I selected 10K for Car Mode and build a cable that seems to work. For Desk Mode I'd like to use 680K.
Then again. looking at these numbers I'm not too sure about the Desk Mode numbers I think they may be off by an order of magnitude, so I'm going to run those tests again. Ignore the Desk Mode number for now.

Bought the dock from AT&T (online) today after I got tired looking for one. Free 2 day shipping plus the cords included so that helped feel not so bad for it. I'll let yall know if it fits with the TPU case.

I just made this makeshift stand for mine for free with little materials.It may not be the prettiest but it does the job.Im going to glue rubber to the bottom and fill it with something heavy like sand or lead tomorrow.Works great here at home!Beef Jerky can,zip ties,and paper clips.Works for now!I decided to use the can so my volume button can be placed at the top while plugged in.Holds it in landscape or portrait mode.

^ lol
I was supposed to get a free Titan but the store screwed up, I had already bought a cheap titan dock from ebay for like 9 shipped. fits the vivid great!

HEHE!

Any docks with pogo pin support?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I'm probably going to wait for this http://www.gear4.com/android/
or if something interesting comes out that uses the pogo pins, but I haven't seen anything yet.

found this one...
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...-Desktop-Charger-Docking-Station/Product.html

Hard to believe no one has a simple landscape charging dock that uses the pogo pins yet, haven't even seen a pre-order announcement.

It probably won't be landscape for the pogo pins seeing as they are quite low down they could fit in a vertical dock. Also seeing as the home screen is vertical I don't see how an official landscape dock would come out.

Be warned, there are reports that this dock has the microUSB port rotated the wrong way so the Nexus 7 would have to be inserted facing backwards.

Am I correct in assuming that a dock is no use except as a paperweight if I'm not willing to remove Nexi™ from his little house?
And yes I'm serious. My toothbrush can charge without actually involving sockety things.

and now i'm starting to wonder why the hell any of my devices have pogo pins, i never find any reasonably dock that uses them for my gnex or the n7....

Its been reported Asus are producing a dock where it sits horizontally for movie watching. The pins are for that.

Nothing a new launcher doesn't fix as far as landscape for the home screen, Also I would think for watching movies, listening to music, etc. having it docked and charging would be a good thing and landscape is no problem.
With the pogo pins, they should be able to put two charging points, one for vertical and one for horizontal without any plugs sticking out and in the way.

The desk mode on the nexus works nicely in landscape with the stock launcher. Drop it in the dock and enjoy your nice new desk clock with multimedia functions
I wonder if they will eventually allow the stock launcher to use landscape fully? (without the need for third parties or dpi fiddles)

Anybody find any more docks?

I've seen plenty of regular micro usb docks and ones with speakers too
philips had some I saw at bestbuy a year ago or so
so keep in mind there are plenty of non pogo options out right now that would support your other micro usb devices too

All I'm looking for is a charging dock stand so it can be used as a clock. I like the one on gadgets4geeks a lot but it's pretty expensive to ship to the USA.

Today at work ive been playing around with one of the Kensington K33239 docks connected through USB-OTG. All ports seem to work except the audio and parallel ports. i managed to get the serial port working with the help of "Slick USB 2 Serial Terminal" as the only real reason i would need a serial port is for works router. works great, except that its only a docking station solution and does not charge the nexus 7 at the same time.

Kidigi Portrait Desk Dock

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had seen this yet.
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=156
I have Kidigi desk and car docks for my One X and they are pretty nice. I like them because I can keep the TPU case on my phone and still use the docks. It looks like they did the same thing with this N7 desk dock.
Edit: found a video for it too:

If you can ask them to take a pic of the usb port in the dock to ensure that the plug is facing the correct way when you dock the N7. There was a dock that was backwards that I have seen in the earlier accessory threads.

I brought this stand from ebay -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-USB-D...1551658547733956827&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&
- and although the one that arrived looked different from the picture it's actually smaller and neater and the (annoying?) blue led is behind the Nexus when it's in it's stand. I think it was good value for the money - oh and the USB is the right way round for the Nexus and much easier to insert on the stand than the OEM supplied charger, (as I think the usb is the "wrong/other" way round on the Nexus compared to all my other devices!)

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)..

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?
