Official Samsung Vehicle Navigation Mount

I have been searching for both a vehicle mount as well as a desktop dock for my Nexus S since I got it in December. While there have been a few 3rd party solutions trickling into existence, it's nice to see some official Samsung love! I can't post links yet, but check it out on their website: samsung.com by searching for ECS-V1A3BEGSTA or BECS-V1A3BEG (both seem to be model numbers). There currently isn't a price and if you add it to your cart it says it's on back order (for $0). But at least we know it's coming! Hope to see an official desk dock soon as well.
Also, interesting, it says it has an integrated charger (which is one thing I really want in a car mount), but I fail to see any evidence of it in the pictures. I'm curious how it works. I would also really like to see an integrated audio output, preferably (if possible) through the same micro USB connection as the charging and then allow for the 3.5mm output to split from the mount. This is what I used to do with my original MT3G and it was great to only have to make one connection to the phone.

Nice!!! Thanks OP. Can't wait for it to go on sale. I agree, can't see how the Nexus S gets charged in the mount that's pictured.

I am very excited for this. Hopefully more accessories are coming soon!!

out of stock noooooooooooooo!

Dam should of waited, I just bought the Rocketfish mount from best buy. I'm lovin it tho! It can also be attached on the ac vents.

Interestingly the back plate of the dock appears to have a cutout for the camera and speaker, but they are in the wrong position (wrong side in each case) given how the phone sits in the dock. I am also curious how they are going to do integrated charging. Perhaps those images aren't a final product shot.

It was never in stock to begin with.
It took Samsung to officially release the Galaxy S docks about 3-4 months after its release in the U.S. So I'm assuming it's going to take just as long for this dock to come out.

looks good.
I want to see this in action.

How is it going to charge the phone?

I agree with you. How is it suppose to charge when docked?
Edit: Looks great though.

These photos r fake .. note the phone's live wallpaper is not "live"
The wallpaper's light dots r in the same position in all photos
Maybe the final product will contain more details for charging etc

Anyone notice the description changed? It's looking more like a passive holder with a non-integrated charger. Disappointed. =(

Indeed, this would make more sense. I'm unsure how they would have integrated charging unless they somehow had a different back plate for the phone that would allow for conductive charging.
I'll still pick it up for $40 when it's available. It's a lot better than the the "universal" options out there. It is too bad the Nexus S doesn't have the contact/charging pins like the Nexus One did - that was a nice car dock to own (although a bit more pricey).
New description:
The vehicle navigation mount holds your Nexus S Handset securely while you travel.The Vehicle Power Charger is included in the package. The holder has a convenient easy snap-in and a thumb release to remove the phone from the holder.

[fix] An easy way to solve the screen flicker with just a scotch tape

Hey guys,I'm a nexus 7 user from China.
I have solved the screen flicker problem.
Just put a piece of scotch tape on the GND point of WIFI antenna.It does not influence the signal strength.

Not gonna do that. By not connecting a ground you could run into some other serious problems later on. Excessive WiFi chip heat and possibly other issues

Won't be.I have studied the wifi antenna for several years.Wifi antenna has many types,some of them like omnidirectional antenna,it‘s RF line and GND is not connected.

I've just done this. So far, wifi strength fine and there is definitely less flicker.
However, this its light outside and it's much easier to see the flicker when it's dark, so I'll let you know.
Thanks for the idea, and hopefully this works!

Watching with interest, before I go through and attempt it.
may i ask what is your theory why this works? In simple terms! If I could sort the flickering I'd be v happy. Thanks

Confirmed as working on my device. It completely eradicated the flicker too, which is awesome.
I also would love an explanation as to why it works!

I cant really tell by the pic, is that just a piece of clear scotch tape taped over that metal part? Its not in between or anyway special right?

Does anyone have any information on why this works and if there is any possibility of it messing up the tablet?

Just slide your finger or thumb nail between the top edge and the back on one corner then slide it to the other top corner and the back will start popping right off, it's very simple.

Oops. One off on the copy and paste:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29759410&postcount=295

So this makes me wonder if the common issues could perhaps be with the back of the device. I've seen people with screen warping issues caused by a warped back, and now there's a fix for flickering by modifying the back.
I'm sort of curious to see what switching the back of a flawless device with a device with flickering does.
Edit: I also remember someone saying awhile back that they pushed on a certain part of their device to make the flickering disappear, which makes me even more curious if it's something to do with the back..
Another edit: The device would not flicker when the back was completely removed. Obviously, without the antenna, the signal was very weak, but the flickering would disappear. As soon as I placed the back on again, the flickering returned.

Only engineering theory is the antenna is moving the voltage for ground w/ the power surges when it uses full wifi power and this is affecting the ground level for the rest of the tablet including the backlight. By putting the tape there, you're preventing the wifi antenna from affecting ground level, though I don't understand why it doesn't affect wifi power (I'd think that by doing this, you're lowering the transmitting power of the wifi antenna).
Any other EE's confirm this might be what's happening?
Interesting workaround at least...it's basically a hardware version of the software workaround I theorized was possible if they could control the power transmission level of the wifi chip/antenna...

This fix makes the difference, its like night and day... thanks to the op

I decided to go ahead and get a replacement... Call time 3:14 no joke. Super impressed with the service and the process.

Not sure what you're talking about in "disconnecting ground," but the ground plane is pretty important for PFA antenna design. (I'm assuming that's what the N7 has, as there still isn't a good photo of the ants themselves in any of the teardowns.)
BTW, funny, but I made that very same antenna in your pic, along with the PVC pipe cover. Didn't work too well as an omni. I soon ditched the DIY route when I found surplus WISP ants to be much more effective, and less hassle.
BTW, a good read for wifi design is "Antenna Design for Mobile Devices (Wiley 2011)."

I'm going ahead and doing the same. It does look like modifying the back cover will fix the flickering issues, but after reading a bit on how the ground effects antenna performance, I'm a bit wary about it in the long term. It'd be one thing to just tighten a screw, but to disconnect a wire with a function isn't okay to me.

I've pasted some pages out of the abovementioned wifi design text on the effects of ground plane on mobile antennas. It's probably too technical for many, but you can get the gist, which is that the ground plane is a "big deal" in antenna performance.

Picked this up today...

So I was out shopping with my wife and came across this. Thought it was pretty cool so I decided ti get it. Problem is that the base part won't fit the phone because it's too small. I'm trying to find a way to have it fit but not sure where to begin. .. any ideas? I(t's a Hype retro handset, but also included the base (or dock), which is where the issue is...

I really like the handset part. Just had a 3 hour long conversation with my dad and it was onky toward the end that my ear started to hurt a little lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

what is it?

It is a retro styled device that turns your phone into a 80's style desk phone. You can either rest your phone in the base part (or dock) and connect it through the supplied 3.5mm jack or you can use the handset piece separate and also plug just that part into the 3.5mm jack.

Here I thought I was bad taking pictures :laugh:
Guess its cute but how practical is it

It's something I could definitely see using at home. I had the phone in my front pocket and the handset hooked into the jack and was able to use it with no issues. The handset also has its own volume adjustment which is nice. That said, it's probably not for everyone...
It might look a bit strange carrying around the handset piece and using it in public hehe. For a relatively older guy like me (I'm 36), I grew up with these kinds of phones so it definitely appeals to me.
My sister in law just got herself the handset piece (you can buy it separate) and she likes it too.
The base (dock) will accomodate most other phones. But the Note 2 is too wide to fit the opening... so I'm trying to think of ways to either make it fit or some other solution..

Maybe this pic will help clarify...
That's my wife's Galaxy S3 in there..

There is one 3.5mm female jack on the left side of the device that the handset connects to. The handset can either be connected to that, or you can connect it directly to the phone's 3.5mm jack. If you connect the handset to the device, there is a male 3.5mm jack that is used as a passthrough for the handset to connect to the phone. At the bottom of the device the hole you see is to pass a cord for a wall charger, so no, the device itself won't charge your phone. Hope that clears things up a bit.

Yea. Had to remove the bottom brace but it pops right off. If you offset the phone a little you can avoid the volume and power buttons. Just be sure everything is good and tight. Have a case on mine so I didnt use the extra inserts they provide. Gonna slap a NFC sticker on it tomorrow since I decided thats going to be my long term mount.

In fact, I would say it's a danger while driving that you would have to look at the controls for some time to manoeuvre your fingers around it to touch a radio preset button etc.

Hi Guys! In my Audi cabriolet there was no GPS navigator sistem, there are a lot of other optional but this no.
The Audi dealer asked me about 1.600 euro for install the original Audi Navigator.... A poor device with 6.5" display and no touch....
Prehistoric object!!
So in december 2011 i bought a GT8.9 3G, and after some months of planning and labor i permanently installed the tab in the car.

This is the features of the Carmobileproject:
1) FM Radio (web radio with Tune In app)
2) MP3 music player
3) GPS navigator (Sygic, Tom Tom, maps, ecc)
4) Phone (gsm and voip calls)
5) Player films
6) Internet and mail
7) Autodiagnosis real time with bluetooth EOBD interface
8) Satellite antitheft with realtime GPS Tracker
I planned and build an electronic circuit interface, which detects the theft and send to the tab a signal. So automatically start a call, a sms at my number and start the GPS tracking. In this way i can follow the thieves and recover the car.
9) Possibility of send a command to the car (by sms) so as activate some gadget in the car (for example turn off the engine so as interrupt the thieves sprint).
Actually in the tab run an AOKP rom (Milestone 6 android 4.0.4), but soon i will install AOKP 4.2.2. Thank you to addem1234, a guy of XDA which have build the last version of AOKP for our tab! A fantastic and super customizable ROM.

well, i use the 16GB internal for apps, mp3, and navigator maps. For the other (films, ecc.) i use OTG feature with pen drive 32GB.
I must modify the 30 pin dock connection for working the OTG and the charge from USB at the same time. In fact, if you connected a OTG cable in our tablet you can not powered it. I need to have also the power in the tab so as i can detect when the car is on or off.

The car is BMW X1. It has useful "glove box" in place of stock car infotainment I don't have. I've only made power and aux cording to the box. For now the dock is holding by itself with the plugs pushing the box top ant the rear and the front edge pushing rubbered flour. The tab and the rubber hold it intact. So all I need is to push the docked tab into box, it stands quite firm by itself. Without the tab the box can be easily closed with the dock in.
After a while the tab started to disconnect on some major bumps (which we have plenty here). I'm reconsidering an attachment to resolve this. However there be no major modifications, maybe some extra struts on the tab to push down, cause for now only dock is pushed down, not the tab.
The soft part based on Tasker works like a charm. Only video registration running on background causes minor issues, which may be related to the 7300’s low internal memory performance.

Thanks for showcasing your builds - one simple and one incredibly ambitious!
It seems like there's an entire computer (VIC-20 style ) at the back of the tab, is that to control the actuator? And is the actuator for controling on/off? Also, was it "simple" or "impossible" to relocate the buttons and AC panels? And what about controlling the radio stuff; amplifier is still stock, I presume?
Lots of questions but this is just too cool! I've seen a few car builds but nothing in this scale.

Hi! The hardware at the back of the tab drive the actuator and much more!! (power the tab, manage the USB OTG, manage antithieft interface, adapt the level of the output, ecc. ecc.)
It's impossible to relocate the power button!!!
The amplifier is an Audison 4x80W
For control the final volume i used a double logaritmic potentiometer with push button.
The push button drive the actuator
