I bought this a couple of weeks ago for my Bionic, just to use as an alarm clock, since I have moved on to a Moto X on Republic Wireless. This is a really nice dock....solid feeling, and is adjustable for different Motorola phones that have the same ports, so I could slide the plugs so the Bionic is perfectly centered in it. And it comes with an HDMI cable, too. $8.95 shipped.

Hi there,
I am so happy that I imported the Droid 3 to use it here in Germany. Everything worked and works fine. From my Milestone 2 I was used to have a Charging Dock that additionally could charge a second battery at the same time.
http://www.amazon.de/Wicked-DUO-Doc...=sr_1_8?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1314256897&sr=1-8
Could you probably help me, finding such a Docking Station (it doesn't have to be a dual charging dock) for the Droid 3 that I can use with our german powerplug standards?
THANKS
WHOA thats awesome!
I skipped the D2 but I'm definitely interested in something like that too since I have a spare battery. I looked around but don't see anything like it tho
Not sure about a docking station.. But I'm using the USB chargers that were included with my old BlackBerrys.. Still hasn't let me down, two Motorola USB chargers have failed on me so far.. (Guess the connector would become loose)

Pretty cheap too.
The Droid 3's dock uses a standard Micro USB input I think, so the normal Droid 3 Dock should work (I think):

VEEEERY nice! Thank you! I just ordered the dual charging dock, hopefully it will arrive safely in Germany
Thanks for your help
Okay so I found my old Revo about a week and a half ago, I have it overclocked and running fast, only downside is that I have to keep it charging 24/7. Since nowadays I have my one xl, I'm looking for a use for my Revo. Here's my plan, I used to have a Motorola atrix 4G and the Lapdock that comes with it but the phone got destroyed and so I have a Lapdock in its box just taking up space. What I want to do is hook up my Revo to it and use my Revo as an android net book of sorts. I know that an xperia s works perfectly with the Lapdock because it has a micro hdmi and micro usb port not just a mhl port. So here's my question. If I hooked up my Revo to the Lapdock and got it mirroring my revos screen, could I change the dpi so that I could have a net book like experience? I would probly never use the Revo without the Lapdock so it doesn't matter if things are too small on the revos screen, also what would I change the dpi to?
What lapdock do you have?

The one for the Motorola atrix 4G
Hello all,
I happened to be on Ebay looking for wireless charging pads and case for the D4 when I came across a aftermarket Droid 4 desktop charging cradle. I wanted to get everyone else's opinion. It is on Ebay and ships from Hong Kong using Singapore Post. Ebay seller has over 54K reviews. Lemme know what you think:
http://bit.ly/QHih3p
Price is $17.49, not bad IMHO
I have similar if not the same exact one...
It will not activate the desk dock mode since it is only a USB connection and the new phones require USB/HDMI connections to turn this on.
You can download razr dock from the play store and use a Smart Actions action to launch it when plugged in though...
Smart Actions:
Name - (I named mine Docked)
Trigger - Charging - Wall adapter
Actions - Launch Application - Razr Dock
App: http://tinyurl.com/93wdnu3
Overall....works well, formed to the Droid 4 so that it is easy to place in the dock, charges it and with Razr Dock running it emulates the actual dock in bedside mode. Looks a little off on Gingerbread but works perfectly on ICS (clock in Gingerbread has weird different sized numbers...sometimes).

Ahh you're right! I didn't even notice that. It may still be worth a purchase because the developer seems to be on top of the bugs the dock app you suggested has.
It's a shame that for a phone as versatile as this one, that a OEM dock doesn't exist.

not totally correct. the HDMI connection is not necessary to activate dock mode. the usb is sufficient. i tore apart my
Motorola HD Dock and removed the HDMI connection because it was annoying me. It was nothing but a simple passthru, however the USB connection had some kind of circuitry between where you plug in the dock, and where it plugs into the phone. it's this circuit that kicks the phone into dock mode. I think i will be ordering this dock from ebay, and pulling my dock circuit from my HD dock as it annoys me to no end.
I think I may go and purchase this today. If anything, it'll look nice on my desk at work. I've never been a fan of the kickstand cases Verizon has.

For me the Droid 3 Multimedia Dock is a better option - it might be a bit more expensive, but its ability to route audio and video, plus the fact that it engages the dock mode options makes it better. I suspect the aftermarket docks won't even put the phone into landscape.
Cheers,
Steve.

Indeed, I agree totally, that sounds a lot more appealing. Some of the Droid 3 docks, has been a bit short of space to fit the Droid 4 into, though. But that one might work fine, I don't know.
Is it the one by Moto or Verizon?

They are the same aren't they?
I just took the original plastic insert out, and then used epoxy putty to fashion my own for a nice snug fit for the D4.

Hey guys. Wanted to let you all know that Daily Steals has the Moto Lapdock 100 for $99.99 today. Seems like a pretty good deal.

FWIW - I picked up a Verizon Bionic Lapdock (Verizon boxed) for $50 off eBay, and it works just great with the Droid 4.
Cheers,

I have an Atrix Lapdock. Works also, but I'm having issues with special characters and volume control. Special characters are not the same as the keyboard indicates and volume has on or off...

The keys are the age old problem of US default layout, whereas you may be like me, and have changed the phone's locale to something else - my solution is to purchase UK keyboard stickers off eBay, and I'll simply put them on to replace the ones that are wrong.
The volume is more tricky - when the Droid 4 is in a dock (I've notice this on the multimedia dock too) it seems to treat the audio like a "line in", and so there's no ability to alter the volume. The solution on my multimedia dock where I have a speaker system plugged in, and the default was too loud, was to use a cable with an in-built volume cable, but that's obviously not possible with the lap-dock. I'm not sure how to get around that behaviour.
Cheers,
Steve.
That's the thing. I use English US and the Lapdock is from the US (has some additional Hebrew characters) and I'm certain the layout is US-International. Not sure what kind of layout the Droid/Lapdock combo is using right now.
Yeah the Droid 4 docks into the Bionic lapdock. Very nice. Also, the Lapdock is a HDMI monitor just fine which works with the Zotac ZT-DP2HD and so you can hook two to any laptop with a DisplayPort output and enjoy a portable dual external monitor solution

No case so I cannot answer that. However on my S4 with the sview case flipped behind it, it works.

I can't confirm, but others on XDA in the G2 forums have used a case with success. Qi technology should not be affected by even the likes of an Otterbox. Search the threads, someone has confirmed it already.
I just got the LG wireless charger from Amazon and it works even with the quick window case flipped back! I'm surprised at how well this charger works.

Verizon LG G2 cradle
I use my phone as a clock and alarm clock at night, so I needed a cradle.
I just got the EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone from Amazon for $20 after shipping.
Sorry I can't submit a link yet, I'm too new, but copy/paste this into Amazon:
EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone
It works great, however I don't have a case for the G2 yet. I'll report back when I get a case.
The phone will slow charge when you use the USB cable and AC adapter that were provided with the cradle. But, if you plug the LG USB cable and AC adapter into the cradle, it will fast charge. Also, if you plug the cradle into the LG USB cable and the EZO AC adapter, it will also fast charge.
Hope this helps somebody,
Mike

I'm using a RAM X-grip in my car and it works fantastic.
I just started looking for the same thing again today and found one good candidate;
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/lg-g2-desktop-dock-charging-cradle - supports cases too...
Here's another: http://www.clove.co.uk/konnet-icrado-neo-smartphone-desktop-cradle-black
not my thing but does offer some flexibility if you change phones a lot
Similar to my first one (very similar) from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charger-Smartphone/dp/B00BSHV9L8
This one is intriguing (also supports big fat cases)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KiDiGi-RUGG...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4615bf47cf
This one is sleek, inexpensive with reasonable shipping - I think I am going to grab at least one...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DESKTOP-CHA...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item5af945d8f3
I personally think the iQ stuff is junk.
I'll update if I find better.
Feb 12 2014 Update:
I bought two of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390738004029
from China - delivery was slower than some but very average BUT this DOES not work for my D803.
The usb plug is extended to allow for a phone with a (fat) case and therefore when I put my naked phone on it is suspended in the air by the plug outlet. I contacted the seller and in addition to the language barrier they want nothing to do with the problem and, frankly, I don't have time to bicker over $20
Back on the hunt
Old thread but I will chime in. Lg g2 vs980. Using the amazing tylt qi charger. Its not junk at all. Expensive, yes. Down side: daydream only recognizes it charging. Not as a docking station. So it goes in and out of daydream when it goes back and forth between charging states. Looking for a way mod the charger or the phone to address this issue. Chime in if you have an idea. Peace outside!

OK Last one is a fail... apparently there is a LG-G2x and I missed the distinction.
I had the official Samsung dock for my previous Galaxy S4.
Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...93126633&sr=1-4&keywords=samsung+speaker+dock
It works great on my LG G2 (LS980) in terms of charging but the speaker function is not functional though.
