uh! uh! uh! me want! me want!
nice design indeed... now since all stuff is made in china, time to check ebay and DX to find the same thing without the label...
translation = cheaper
If in stock tomorrow I will be ordering, nice find!
Have you used this site before? If so opinoins on them? (Directed at anyone who has used the site).
Bit off topic but is a cheaper ebay battery just as good as a Original?
Looks good but won't work with cases

Glad I went for a pouch case, Looks really good i loved using my dock for my iPhone and iPod Touch
I wonder whether it would be stable enough to stick to a car dash and use it as an in-car dock..
i wouldn`t buy it.. every time i see things like this, i think it going to scratch the back of the handset..

Twice as expensive though.
What is it that makes the phone decide it's 'docked' ??
When I plug my phone in to a micro-usb charger (or a micro-usb cable hooked up to a PC), then go to
Clock -> Dock Settings -> Audio
I still see the message 'Phone not docked', even though the phone is charging.
Does the phone have to be sync'ing with some software on a PC before it decides it's truly docked? Or does the cradle have some circuitry to deliver a message that tells the phone it is docked? I thought the cradle was simply a charger.
Still out of stock! It says "will be available from 25-th Feb" and now it is already 1st! Quite sad, as there are no other docks around.

Hi,
Where are you ordering the dock from? Is it from oddsandpods.com?
Just googled them and the reviews dont seem very favourable.
Could you please give us some feedback on how their service has been?
Thanks
I've just received information:
"Thank you for your order. Your order has been passed to the warehouse for picking and will be dispatched within 2 days. Should we be unable to send your order on time we will email you to advise of any delay."
When (if) dock arrive, I'll try to post some pictures and write a little bit about service.
Ordered from Odds and Pods on 24th Feb, not received it yet or getting any order updates! really not happy with these guys!
Has anyone found a good dock yet? I found a few on Amazon but none of them are specifically for the g2.

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]

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.

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.

I've seen posts that newer builds of the keyboard dock would have the connection issues fixed. Has anyone gotten one of these " 2013.11" or later newer build keyboard docks and can confirm it actually has the issues resolved? I'd really like to get the keyboard dock for my tablet, but don't want to deal with the issues of the broken keyboard dock.
So has anyone actually gotten a working keyboard dock from a newer batch?
Thanks!
My friend is getting one for Christmas. Unfortunately that means you'll have to wait until then to get confirmation from me.

I've had two docks now. I got the replacement on December 2. It's funny because I never had a problem with disconnection until I went to write a response to you OP. I can tell you that the second one seemed put together far better than the first, but it still has A LOT of wiggle room in it. It does not dock like the TF201 did. It has no support on the front. That is nice if you use a screen protector like I do, but like I said, it does have issues.
The primary reason I buy these tablets is because of the dock. I really hope Asus does the right thing here. I hated my tf201 because of the extreme lag caused by the i/o controller or whatever, and now this. Kind of a drag.

Was the "build date" number different on the packaging when you got the replacement?
I agree, the primary reason I got this tablet was the real keyboard dock for it. Seemed like a much better solution than the generic bluetooth keyboard docks I see on the internet. It's funny...always heard about the IO issues with this series of tablets...but dock always seemed to be really solid. The one time I actually go buy one...the IO issues are fixed, but the dock is now having issues.
On the transformerforum someone got a tablet with dock with production date 2013.11.
He reports that the flex is nearly absent and it connects more firmly.
Also the connection problem didn't popup.
Good news but now waiting for more people with the same experience.

I received my 6th keyboard a few days ago from Amazon. I was happy to see I finally got one with a manufacture date of 11/2013. I immediately inserted an SD card and tried moving the viewing angled. I did not see the SD card disconnecting and reconnecting so was hopeful.
Last night I noticed that the dock was not charging the tablet. I had to disconnect and replace the tablet in the dock 5 or 6 times before the widget showed the tablet charging.
This morning I tried viewing a video file on the external SD card in the dock. Changing the viewing and repeatedly caused loss of the data connection and the video player to crash.
Fail :crying:
I had the TF101 since it came out and was happy and had none of these problems. I now have had 2 of the tablets and 6 of the docks. I really want the TF701 to work for me but think I need to give up on this device find another option. I might try replacing dock or both dock and tablet again just because I want the tablet/dock combo and I am stubborn.
I got message that Tabletcenter had the TF701 in stock again and I could get a swap.
In the store they showed me the newest batch and it was 2013.10 so now I said keep it buddy and give money back.
So for now no TF701 anymore till it is proven that the problems are solved.
Using the TF700 again.:crying:

Not sure what you mean by flex but I have not noticed any obvious slop in the connection on any of them. I really went by performance and did not check closely for that though. I did have to replace a dock with my original TF101 and I learned back then that you want to hear two crisp snaps as the connectors on both sides lock into place. I have been having trouble getting that and even when I do I still get problems. The connection right now feels tight with no obvious slop but I just did another swivel test as I am writing this and the SD card disconnected and reconnected causing a video to crash.

My TF701 (2013.10) from eBuyer does have flex, but no disconnects as of yet. I've tried various angles.
My guess is that the flex could be to stop the few reported instances of cracked glass (previous generation Transformer Pads).

Ok I know there is a lot of dock and mount out there that are universal, but I was looking for one that works perfectly for the M8.
The only dock that saw that looks really good, is the HTC dock, but I really don't want to pay the HTC price, so my question is, does anyone know of a dock or even just a mount that works as well as the HTC dock without having to pay the HTC price?

Why not get something more universal to use with any phone or any case? You can check out my sig link, just scroll down to car mount reviews, I have a ton of those. Personally, I would highly recommend Arkon Mobile Grip 2 since it's the most minimalistic and can also be converted to attach to a picture tripod. Plus, it has one of the best sticky grip base.

This was the email from March 26:
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
We are currently designing a holder for the HTC One (m8).
This design process generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks once the design team obtains the device, but can take longer depending on the device.
Once we have a custom holder available for your device we will send you an email with a link to the products.
It sounds like a very boilerplate response, so that must have been all the info he had at the time. My understanding is that ProClip is just Brodit's exclusive US and Canadian vendor.

The clip that fits in the car usually has glue strips, but often combine that with some sort of slip-in-between-the-seams stuff as well. Then you do screw the holder onto the clip, but that's probably not what you meant.
As for expensive... Yes, it gets expensive, but it's very good quality, which is worth it to me at least.
Oh, and here are the products. None of them are in stores yet, though.

I have been using the same iBolt kit since my Galaxy S3. Since then I have used it on the Note 2, Galaxy S4, HTC One and my brand new M8. All worked great as I got the dock-launching plugs for both the Samsungs and the HTC. However I just discovered that if you use the long USB with audio cable designed for the sammy, it will charge the HTC (slowly) but won't launch the dock mode. Which is annoying. I had to pull my deck out to uninstall it, and replace it with a standard USB cable. Now it works like a champ! Though I do wish that HTC would do USB analog audio like Samsung. It made car-integration so much better (quality of sound wise) than over bluetooth.

You would think so, wouldn't you. But my active Brodit mount for a Nexus 4 had problems reliably making a power connection. The metal USB bit slipped down and away from the phone within its moulding.
Brodit could not supply spare parts!!.
I resorted to cutting the usb connector apart and using epoxy resin to put it back together again.
Got the HTC mount this time for my M8!
Repair parts? Couldn't they just ship you a new holder? Seems like a clear warranty issue. That is, if brodit has a warranty, I've never needed to find out, and in Norway our consumer laws are so strong warranty is almost never an issue.

How well does the suction? because one of the thing that i love about the htc mount is the way the suction is design. Does the suction only work on the glass or can it work on the dash as well?
I bought the iBolt xProDock Kit for HTC
I already had the iBolt for the One X+ (was specific for that one, the new one fits almost all htc phones) and it is perfect (now my wife uses it).
The suction works perfect and you can place it on the window screen or the dashboard. It also starts automaticaly the dock mode.y
I bought this a year ago for my GS4 and loved it: iMagnet. I wasn't sure the metal plate would work with the curved back of the M8, but I just bent it a little and it fits perfectly without scratching the device. I use Car Home Ultra and configured it to launch whenever my car's bluetooth connects to it. Works like a freaking charm
Anyone have the official dock yet? I know they're expensive but I'd still like to hear a review of them. Thanks

I have the 2014.04 dock and it has no wobble, clicks in tight and no disconnect issues at all. I got it from B&H, New Egg and Tiger Direct are still selling the 2013.10 units.
That's very encouraging to hear, as I've been dithering whether to buy a TF701 and dock combo for some months.
Does anyone know if it's possible to tell the date of a dock by looking at the dock itself, rather than the box it comes in? Here in the UK the tablet and dock are only sold as a bundle, and I'm worried that, even if the date on the box says 2014.04, that might just be the date that they put the two items in the box, and the dock itself could still be old stock.

I just ordered a dock yesterday and requested one with a 2014.04 build date. I'll report back when I receive it.
Any updates?

I just received one from Amazon. It's a little difficult to get the tablet to fit in firmly but once it does, it stays in place. Only issue I'm running into is that the dock starts charging the tablet when the tablet is less than 90 percent charge. I had the Prime and the Infinity and those didn't begin charging until the tablet reached 70 percent. Is there any way to adjust this or is anyone else dealing with this issue?

I am pretty sure there is no way to adjust this but I am just curious as to why it would matter?
Part of the purpose of the dock is to recharge the tablet, as long as it does this why does it matter when?

Good point. Maybe I'm just used to it taking place closer to the 70 percent stage, which allows the dock to hold on to its battery for a longer period. I find that the dock drains much faster this way, which I'm not toally sure if that affects the battery's long-term life.

For those who are interested, I got this version of the dock from Amazon seller Galactics. Other than charging the tablet once it hits 90 percent, I've had no issues with it so far.

I've just bought a tablet/dock combo from Amazon UK and for me the outer box only has one sticker on it, with one date.
Unfortunately, it's date 2014.01, so I've decided to return it to Amazon unopened (still sealed), with reason "Incompatible or not useful for intended purpose". It might be fine, but I don't want to risk it - they can sell it to someone else who can give it a go!
I have the 2014.01 and had no problems yet , working smoothly. Only problem yet was a flash when using touchpad after long time.

It's the Fourth of July weekend! I'm wondering and hoping there is a dock out there with a price reduction courtesy of a promo. Wishing. Hoping.
i am ytrying to update the dock but it doesnt upgrade, keep saying try again
anyone know where i can get this file seprrately and manually install
Three weeks ago, I bought from ncix Toronto - Dock 10.2013 - everything is OK - updating firmware,battery charging , plug-in to display ...
I just got the 2014.04 dock. When I first plugged it in, it said it was updating firmware on the dock and then it said it failed updating. Now every time I turn it on, it doesn't try updating again :/ how would I be able to try updating it again?
Also, when the tablet is connected to the dock and draining power from the dock, the dock makes these small tick sounds. I don't know why I would be hearing that though. When I have the dock disconnected and charging, it doesn't make that sound. When they are both connected and charging through the 30 pin charger the dock doesn't make that sound. I really hope I don't have to return it

But aren't the 2014.04 all fixed now of the docking issues? I also found dock connecting problems, which I thought was previously fixed. I contacted the seller and am getting a replacement sent out to me. Why would it still be having issues?

2 people are not enough opinions to say its fixed
Its not and those that say it is are lucky or satisfied with an unsatisfactory product.
Anyway good luck on the next i hope it works good
If not refund asap and move on.
I had mine close to a year and 4 times repair over 6months with them and still faulty.
