Got mine today. Looks nice, comes with AC and USB cable. The View fits nicely into the cradle and dock mode kicks on automatically as advertised. My only ding for this unit is you can't sync and charge at the same time. Well, it charges off USB, but not the same as with AC power direct into the unit; it's much slower to pick up a full charge regardless of whether the USB cable is plugged directly into a computer or powered hub.
Overall a nice accessory that gets the View off it's back and frees up a little space on the desk or end table. 4 thumbsups
Edit: HTC needs to have the sh!t slapped out of them for using that stupid proprietary plug and socket design on this device. They munged up an otherwise totally awesome tab!
Where did you get it? How much? Is it the OEM white version?

The That Amost Dock Rocks!
I have the dock, I just hate having to take the unit out of its case all the time and then put it back in when I take it out of the dock. The proprietary connector does suck and sucks even more because you cannot get the cables from anywhere. They should have put two connectors on the dock, one for syncing and one for charging like they did for the dock that came with the 6700.
I got mine from Sprint for $49.95 retail (but I had a 30% off card from Sprint) and it is OEM,but its black.

That's why I was saying I wanted a dual connector like the 6700 had.
USB has a max of 0.5 A and the Charger 1.67 A so it takes about 3x longer
i just purchased this From the sprint store and got the error message that the device is using a later version of software. I have the HDMI MHL converter connected to this as well. Anyone else have this problem?

I've noticed while spec'd as MicroUSB, the OEM cable for the Amaze has a different design for the end that interfaces with the phone. It's very solid and snaps into the receiving port. All other "standard" designs fit loosely in the port and I feel it will wear it out over time. Is there any place to buy the OFFICIAL cable without having to go for the wall plug as well? Being that the other end is standard USB, I could plug it in to the car charger with a female USB out. My current charger is a job I bought from a T-Mobile retail store that fits way too loosely since it's the typical MicroUSB form factor.
I believe you can call Htc and order one. I remember someone saying they even got theirs for free. Check the htc websitefor info

According to HTC's limited manufacturer's warranty they will replace every accessory that came with your phone once.
Give them a call.
Will give a try guys, thanks
UPDATE: It worked! They're sending another cable
Just curious, is the OEM charging cable an accessory? (Rhetorical)
If so, I'm moving this to the Accessories thread.
i was wondering the same
i want the same cable as oem just longer.
does anyone know where to find one?
So I woke up this morning to find that my charger is broken! The part that plugs into the phone is completely bent, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know if the warranty from Verizon or HTC will cover the charger? It's still under the 1 year. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think vzw covers the cables under warranty, but you should at least call.
If they don't help you out, try this:

In post 10, below, feralicious provides a link to the proper 12-pin USB cable (the Flyer and the Rezound have the same connectors).
It's white but it works.

You can use a standard USB to micro USB cable.
I know any USB cable will work, that's what I'm using for right now, but they don't fit as snug as the cable that actually came with the phone. The normal USB cables feel too loose and wiggle around too much for my liking.

The link is there to order a new one then, I doubt Verizon will replace it for free.
Yeah, that one is just a normal USB one. I contacted htc directly and I think they might replace it. Hopefully anyway..

Odd result: a standard USB to micro USB cable from monoprice doesn't actually charge my phone even though the phone claims to be charging AC, the HTC USB cable does.
Anyone else notice anything like this?
Very odd, I'm using a standard charger to charge my phone for the time being and it charges fine. It just doesn't feel secure enough is all. It is an HTC branded charger though. Don't know if that makes a difference.

This thread is about the OEM charge cables. In case you need to order one. The one linked at the bottom of post #21. The DC T500 is the part number. Most places only have it in white though.

This one fits snug with that snap in you get from the original one. I bought two of them and they work great. I just wish they were black.

Thank you everyone for your help. I called Verizon and they were willing to replace it but they don't even have the ability to order the same cable that came with the phone, they only had standard cables. So I actually ended up calling HTC customer service directly, and they sent a new charger & cable no questions asked! They didn't even require me to send the broken one back to them. Thinking I will be calling them first thing with any problems I have from now on!

For those who are looking for the Motorola Rapid Charger locally, I ran into a guy at Best Buy who was the regional manager for the mobile department. He too has a Note. I explained the issues I'm having and what we all came up with as a resolution. Funny his he already had that Motorola Rapid charger.
Anyways, he pointed out the car dock kit
For the Droid X and X2. It comes with the very same charger we all are looking for. Here's the bonus: it was originally 49.99 but on clearance for 24.99. Not as good as ebay for 7.59 but I figured I had a 50 gift card after I took all those other chargers and cables back. So I bought the kit!
Here's the REAL bonus: not only does it have all the stuff for a car dock (although its for a Droid), but when.I got to the register, it rang up for 9.99!
I bought all 3 they had in stock.... ;-)
Check your local BB for availability if you don't want to wait for it to ship from ebay or amazon.
Sadly though, I'm still not charging while in use... :-(

Can you provide a link, SKU, UPC, something we can search or reference?
Sounds like quite a deal

I purchased the Kensington dual port charger for iPad/iPhone from CompUsa. It has 2.1 amp and 1.0 amp ports. I used it in my 2008 Honda Civic Si and my car electrical started acting possessed. My power doors were locking/unlocking; alarm system wouldn't always work; drained battery needing me to jump start. Had left charger in lighter port w/o anything attached. Don't know if it was defective but car has returned to normal after I got rid of it might try another

Imo just modify a USB cable as another post outlined.. Short the middle two data pins or splice the cable and short them then use a regular car charger with a USB port and the modified cable. Works for me

The issue is that even the official one that comes with the phone reports as USB charging.

Oh wow, ok then I agree you got a problem... sadly I'm unaware of a fix... hoping someone else comes along and knows!
Originally I assumed it was the charger because the first time I noticed I wasn't using the official charger, though my Incredible never had a problem with it. Then when I got home, same thing with the official charger. I may see if an RUU fixes it when I get home tonight.

I will say this, I have a 2 amp charger, that will charge the bionic at 1.5 ah, but for some reason all of my HTC devices only charge at between .25 ah, and .5 ah. This is using an Evo View, TB, and Rezound. Not one of them will charge faster. So I think it has something to do with how HTC's recognize whether or not it is USB charging. So I wouldn't say all the ebay/amazon ones are junk, they just don't work with our phones.
The plot thickens. Went to lock the bootloader and run the ruu and it isn't being recognized by the pc when plugged into the USB port.

Yup has to be 1A an hour for the Rezzy.
I stopped by the local Verizon store today and played dumb since I'm unable to RUU and relock the bootloader and said I noticed it after the update. Since I recently got the phone it isn't too far fetched that I just updated. The Verizon rep said it was probably the update that caused the USB menu not to pop up and to use the settings menu to select disk drive. I'l just play along and stop by later saying it still isn't working. I am a little nervous about it though considering I have Amon RA and an unlocked bootloader and can't fix it without being able to connect to a pc.
Are you using the same cable for all of this? A bad cable (open data line) would cause everything you describe.
I've used multiple cables and tested against my old Incredible which works fine with all of them.

I had this happen on my droid incredible 2. The usb charge port was loose inside the phone. I ended replacing the port on the phone and now it shows charging as AC with the same charger as before. I was using the stock charger as well. I suspect with your phone the connector inside the phone has come a little loose. The USB type will charge fine just at a slower rate from what I saw with my phone.

Hrmm... For some reason I was thinking the iBolt mount would have a built in wireless charging pad too. Bummer. Would be awesome of one of these would come out with a wireless charger built into them.
I can't find this thing anywhere. The one on Verizon says it only works with the Incredible LTE.

Ordered one from Amazon, shipped quickly. The mount is well made, and the extra long usb charging cord is nice if you need that. However, plugging in the mini usb end to the phone is a pain in the butt once the phone is in the mount. I would say that is just the design of the phone and not an issue with the mount.
The pictures and description of the mount made me think the mini usb charging tip was a firm metal arm that would make plugging in easier, it is just reinforced in the plastic so it keeps a bend to it (like Gumby).
Getting the phone in and out of the mount is fairly easy with one hand, the spring loaded clamp seems a little aggressive to me....the phone is definitely not going to fall out
I got my mount in over the weekend. Love the mount - I'm using it with a proclipusa mount and iBolts ball adapter. I prefer this mount over the proclipusa mount I had for my Thunderbolt. I haven't tried using the charging chord yet so I can't speak to that - as said above it was different than what I was expecting from the pictures.

Radioshack sells a couple Dual USB DC Chargers, but the amperage is quite low on one of them. Definitely get the one with the higher amperage as it is the same price (at least at mine).
