With regret I came to the end of my tether. Unfortunately no Droid 5 on the scene so I've decided to sell my partially working Droid 4.
Things broken:
USB - 2 wire charger working / No Data connection (need to hold the cable to make it work)
Headphone jack
Other than these anybody is welcome to have it for parts for a small fee - PM me if you're interested

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.

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
Hey guys, I found this cable on Buy and it looks interesting. I have not bought it yet but it does list the Bionic as compatible. Has anyone tried it? If so, please let us know how it is. If not, and you have a spare $10 go for it and bring back word. When mine comes I'll do the same.
Thanks!
So would be used for headsets with microphones, right? I see no reason for it unless that is the case.
It would be for 3.5mm audio out from the USB port w/o buying motos full car dock set.

Can you charge the phone while using this? It appears to only have a male USB plug, without any provision to plug a charger into a female jack.
i dont think this cable will work, and if it does id be a waste to not just spend another ten bucks and get the moto OEM cable +charging
heres why: the OEM cable not only charges and outputs audio but, more importantnly, *it bypasses the internal SW amp*. this means you are outputting as clean of an analog signal as you can from the phone to be amped directly by your car's components. you lose the ability to DSP/FX/Beats control, but if you use NeutronMP like you should be, it doesn't matter at all
Wouldn't trust the compatibility list, as Apple i-devices are listed as well. I used to be interested in a product like this, but seems redundant to me now... (why not use 1/8" Jack/aux cable?)

Hello Members
Where can I buy this adapter (photo attached) other than ebay, in the UK.
Will it work correctly with my Note 2, as I'm going to use it to run an external USB DAC convertor, and need the extra USB power plug to power the phone and the DAC.
Failing that can, I get one made? Or make it myself from best quality audio grade USB cable and connectors?
If it's possible to make it, is there a specific wiring diagram for this OTG adapter + USB power plug that works for current Samsung smartphones?
Any help, or links to traders, and directions would be great.
Regards
Livio

Thanks for the links, but it's a OTG adapter with an extra USB male plug just for supplying 5 v power, reading a lot about making something up, but in short these modded adapter cables don't work with any certainty (something about not finding the nominal resistor value across pin (ID) 4 & (Ground) 5, which means either the phone goes to charge mode, but doesn't see the USB item that's been connected, or the reverse).
I thought the new Samsung Note 2 Smartdock might work, but it's been found to not see USB audio DAC's when there plugged in, unless someone knows different but I'm guessing the dock already takes the audio signal from the phones USB and feeds it to a 3.5 mm headphone socket in the unit.

Ebay have tons of them....

Thanks knight900, but I wanted to buy the item from anywhere other than ebay, the reason, well in the past whenever I made a purchase from this type of location/trader there was always fraud instigated on my PayPal account.
I might still consider buying from Ebay if other forum members have purchased the same item from a particular Ebay seller with no issues.
Just wanted to let anyone know that the Custom Audio and usb cable accessory works for the Droid Razr M with the vehicle dock, it does not work when plugged directly into the phone.
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...icle-Docks/m-Custom-Audio-Cable,en_US,pd.html
The audio on the Droid Bionic dock does not function if it is modded to hold the razr m (removal of HDMI and moving USB micro.)

Thanks, Cody! Just deciding whether to spend $30 to buy one just to try whether it will work in my car. Now know for sure it won't be garbage.
30 dollars sure is a lot of money for damn cable... lol
I'd just run two cables and save the money for more awesome accesories
Is anyone having problems with bluetooth range?
I have a 30pin bluetooth receiver that plugs into a Ipod dock that I have been using for years, but when I got the Turbo the range was awful and even up close the music will drop out if I cup the phone in my hands. I use it at work from around 20 feet with a clear line to the adapter. I messed with the adapter and the port was loose, so i ordered a new one and still have the same issue. All of my old phones worked great and other peoples phones work just fine. I also have a bluetooth to 3.5 adapter I use in my truck that after some testing also cuts out if you get further then 4 or 5 feet.
So I'm asking for some help before i call verizon and end up with a refurbished phone.
