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.

There is a nice desktop dock by LG, but sadly it's only for Verizon

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]

i read elsewhere on here that the dimensions were not all that different. but still at $40 for a charging dock Ill just get some plexiglass and a heat gun and make my own :laugh:
It's funny how you think $40 is expensive for a dock. Here in Denmark that price makes me want to get two or three x)

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.
Just ordered the VZW Dock.

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.

No, this is the one that was released at launch, this is the one that also causes the non-responsive screen issues on the Incredible.
I'm a bit peeved Incredible isn't getting any fancy docks like the Moto Droid got, and Seidio cancelled there desk/car/innotraveler docks.
why aren't they more readily available?

That i couldn't say because i have no idea
i just know that Verizon has done a poor job at marketing/supporting this phone. not only did they botch the launch there not even trying to get accessory support nor are they marketing it as much as they are Moto Droid
They r said to vamp up the marketing once the phone is back n stock. I have a friend who is a regional manager at vzw and he says as soon as they start shipping again the are going to have a huge push for this phone. He already has new window posters and a stock pile of t shirts for when try start shipping again. No point in advertising something that u don't have to sell n the first place right?

Well it seems ridiculous that my phone has a tv out function but no cable. The original Droid had car docks, home docks, and a wealth of other accessories. I feel like I've been forgotten about.
I feel like he's telling the truth and we will see some heavy advertising for our DInc. This is still a badass phone guys. I own a N1 and to me my DInc is better hands down.

I have this dock and its great! Like that it has the belt clip detachment. Yes you do have to take your case off to use it though but that takes all of 5 seconds. I havent experienced the grounding issues in this dock at all, think that was with those cheap universal styrofoam ones.
Hey folks, not sure if people have already seen these, but apparently they come into stock tomorrow (friday)

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!

Good question,
The Atrix or Photon multimedia docks have more options but I don't think their all interchangeable from what pplude said about using extension cables to plug his D3 into his Atrix dock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16466185&postcount=11
Plus the HD Multimedia Dock is already out for the D3 so I doubt we will be getting a second HD Multi Dock, tho it looks more like a standard dock.
Some quick searches shows webtop might be coming to the D3 tho i'd probably doubt it on account of available memory.

wow
Thanks a lot! I really want to order one ruight now!
this dock is really hard to get in Argentina, i might have to buy it in the US and get it shipped :/
Will the laptop dock for the Atrix work for the bionic?

thats a nice idea - but what would it plug into? there are no contacts for a wireless charging case to actually get the voltage into the phone on my International G2.
I don't see how LG will ever make one to be honest..
Just a heads up, the new dodge dart has a qi pad in it and u can buy a thing that plugs into the charging port and sticks to a case and charges via a qi pad, however they r not available yet but will be soon. Not much details other than a pic and description during training but it looks promising as sine kind of generic device. It appears to stick to the back of a tpu type case and they show it on an iphone and what looked like an s3/note2 possibly, but it was a goofy footprint shaped maybe 1/8" thick thing shaped like a snowman with two circles one the size of a quarter and the other a little bigger than a Eisenhower with a wraparound piece that plugged into the micro plug. It doesn't look horrible but definitely weird and doesn't explain any details like how it deals with an upside down Jack or phone thicknesses. They also list a couple other case styles such as a silicone jacket looking thing on an iphone and a Jack that went to a small square pad. Its to drop with the 14 dart, which we are ordering now. Just saw it today though.

Looks interesting, but I couldn't find it in any shop.
I found this one instead on ebay: Type A Micro USB Qi Wireless Universal Charger Tag Receiver Coil For LG G2 New
Maybe with this you can build your own Qi Case with any standard case. I bought one and will report if and how it works.
Hmm, that's pretty cool. Didn't know they made those, that makes it quite a bit easier.
I found one which seems quite a bit cheaper and doesn't include a case, ect.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Q...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2584a5f312
Who wants to give it a try lol..
I really wish LG would come out with something by now. The phone has been out for a while and they should have released the case they announced by now.
I just ordered one of these. That said, because I have no existing charging mats/plates around, I'll have to order some right away. Since this solution uses the usb port, that means unlike native solutions, I cannot both charge by cable and by wireless. I'll have to completely switch over to wireless for the most part.
So did any of the earlier posters end up getting any of these? Any feedback?
Let us know how it works, I'll probably bite the bullet and get one too. Which one did you order?

The only problem with that is, you would have to unplug it if you wanted to plug the phone into a pc and say transfer files. Sure there are wireless means of doing that, but some people would rather a physical connection to transfer.

With how often I really do that since LTE is faster than residential comcast, I'd rather just unplug the charger when I needed to. Anything I need on or off my phone is generally just synced to dropbox because that's where I'm gonna need it anyways.
