Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

This looks like rebranded kidigi. Probably the same manufacturer.

Please do - I'm now very curious since the price has dropped to a reasonable level.
I'm specifically interested in whether dock mode is automatically enabled, and what apps can be run from that configuration.
Also - I doubt it, but I'm curious if an MHL adapter can be connected to the dock to enable HDMI out.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I was afraid having a case will interfere with this. What type case do you have by the way? I was kinda hoping atleast a TPU case would work with this dock.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

That cooling dock looks... interesting. I didn't think this thing ran that hot.
the bluetooth case looks tempting, until I see ones that look nicer on fleabay for 1/2 the price for ipads.

White/Black clip case $58
Custom case with BT keyboard $85
Official case $38
Official wall adapter $23
Cooling pad with built in USB hub $40
Screen protector $14
HDMI docking station $48
HDMI cable ..
HDMI cable just showed up $37 shipped
3 ft HDMI cable seems really short.
anybody try the cable out yet? very interested in getting one since a cable is a lot easier to carry around then a dock. plus i'm getting the case with the keyboard so all i will need is a cable. hope they come out with a 6 foot card if it does work
I would like to know the pin out
Grrrr. For $10 more, I can have the dock. I just want the connector, so I can make a super multi-squid cable, so I can build a mount for my car.
this is the same cable on the way to me to test... I'd wait before ordering, mine should be in next week and I'll post findings asap

If it works, I will be ordering a dock AND a cable from you.
Can you please take a picture of the connector on the cable? I want to see if they installed all the pins (to break out all the other connections). It would be greatly appreciated.
If both of those work for me, three friends will then be buying a dock and a cable from you, each

Monoprice.com is another great cable resource....
Thought it had to b powered?
$37? For riz? Ok so I'd really like one of these and appreciate that it was created for a niche market, but that severely cuts into my whiskey budget. I could nearly have a bottle of The Glenlivet for that price.
Just wanted to update you guys on this cable. I received it today and could not get it to work... It was actually made for the Malata t8 (not the ZPAD) and it fits fine but I get nuttin... sorry about that

I have seen the car dock for the Sensation, anyone have information on a car dock for the Evo 3d?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
If there is an official HTC car dock, I hope they don't completely and utterly fark it up by delaying it till several months after the phone launches only to launch an overpriced trinket ....like they did with the evo.
I don't understand the need for device specific car docks. How is it better then a universal dock?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
edit: Ok, I'm sold. I just bought the iGrip Vehicle Dock for HTC Evo 3D from the Sprint Store and its amazing. It has a removable insert so you
can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the cases we sell at TPU-Cases will fit the dock, I haven't gotten a chance to test it with
the Otterbox Commuter but I'm almost positive it will fit. The Defender on the other hand definitely will not. This is one sweet dock! $40
Universal docks don't hold the phone as well. I've yet to find one that isn't a heinous pile of garbage compared to the OEM Evo dock. I'll admit though, the Evo's dock is pretty spendy.
i have a griffen universal and had the oem evo one. i stuck with the universal, as i can keep my case on my evo with no problems.

Oh well, as long as its sturdy and the cable plugs into the dock, I'm fine with it.

lol i thought the same thing...
Great find thanks!

Wow, that does look pretty sweet! AS long as charger pugs into the dock and not the phone it looks pretty sweet. I really love the fact that my Evo starts to charge the moment i bomb drop it into my Seidio innodock. Speaking of which, I really hope Seidio comes out with thier own version as it will no doubt be compatible with their sweet extended batteries!

Those accessories appear to be mock-ups or at least not official HTC. Best buy has the official HTC Car and Desktop dock available for pre-order right now. Personally I'm glad those docks you posted aren't the real ones. Here's the link

Yeah, I get the feeling they're using the Evo 4G car dock image as a placeholder until the 3vo dock comes out. Its only pre-order at this stage.
Car Docks will be available on EVO 3d Launch day at Sprint Corporate Stores.
The car dock you are seeing is the actual Evo 3D car dock it will be 39.99 the usb cable runs along the back and plugs into the back of the cradle. it is not made by HTC, Sprint has them in STOCK now and ready for sale

I was at my local Sprint store today picking up a couple Otterbox Defender cases, they had this dock as well.
I picked up this dock today. Much better than the Original HTC Dock for the Evo. Works great. Camera can still be used and seems very well built.

my body glove case is a fraction to big but it goes in none the less but it wont stay in car mode, but it will fit and charge, i might need to grind the little tabs off of the dock to make it work perfectly, i already emailed igrip in response to the dock not have the the tilt knob to adjust the dock up and down it only has the ball adjustment which doesn't allow the phone to sit where i need it, most docks have to adjustments and this one weather its a defect or first run device mistake its kind of annoying, igrips pictures show it with the arm adjustment
I was in a Bestbuy today and they had the official HTC Evo 3D Car Dock. It was priced at 59.99 I believe. I decided to go to Sprint and get the 39.99 iGrip which is the one pictured above. I must say, the iGrip is perfect. Very solid, had a good hold on the phone and just all around feels good. For those looking to use the dock for shooting video while driving, it works, but only for 2d. The 2nd camera is blocked. Also, once the phone is seated in the dock, the usb port that connects underneath automatically launches the "car panel" app which is cool. So anyone looking to save some $ on a dock, go for the iGrip.
Oh yea, and for those that dont know or forgot, 2 or more accessories for premiere members are 25% off. I bought two of these docks and saved $20.
Has there been any word about docks for this phone? With the charging port being on bottom of the phone as well as being covered I could see it being a bit more troublesome. Does anyone know if the charge port cover is fully removable or on a hinge?
I would love to see a quality car dock produced.

The official dock will undoubtably use wireless charging - which should make it easier to put on and off. The dock will probably be expensive though.
It will have a wireless charging pad. There are several options (http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...rgers-for-the-nexus-4-and-droid-dna-20121114/). But the official one will be the pad from LG.
Good idea, except how am I going to use it as a clock by the bed?

I'm guessing it will be around $80 at verizon, if it is indeed wireless charging. At that point, I'd probably look into putting a Nexus 7 in my dash where the radio was.

Exactly what I did. Aside from the wow factor, I simply got tired of having to delicately insert/remove my phone from the cradle worrying each time I was going to snap off the charger, scratch something, and just weaken its lifespan overall. I'm going to get the DNA however just so that I can finally slap a phone into the dock without even thinking about it. After I sell my car of course.
That looks great. Good job man.

Looks good. I'll definitely be doing something like this in a year, which is why I wouldn't pay much for a phone dock. Hopefully the Nexus 7 (or a newer version) will have LTE by then. I'd pay $10 a month to have the car a mobile hotspot and it would be nice that it had its own internet.
Looks like some 3rd party stores are prepping to carry Docks: http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-droid-dna-car-kits-and-mounts.htm
I am going to get a wireless pad for work, then hope that a car dock and "home" dock will be sold by HTC and/or VZW. I'd rather not have to use a "generic" holder or modify my car's dash.
Car Dock for DNA coming
We at IBOLT will announce the DNA car-dock in the next week. It will work with all cases (even Otterbox Defender type) and you can turn it horizontal or vertical position with a very little of the Dock visible. The microUSB charging plug will trigger the HTC default car-mode (great app!) or anyone can download their favorite after-market app, type CarHome Ultra. Will post images within one week and link to availability.

Will it have wireless charging built in? Cause it doesn't sound like it when you mention usb. That would be a major fail for this product, imo anyway.

Had the iBolt for my GS3 and loved it, so I'm very excited by this news. My only hope is that it is set up so that the phone goes in with the volume rocker on top rather than in the dock. This was the only problem with the GS3 version.

That would be a major PITA if it's just USB, as we would have to uncover our USB port every time we wanted to use the dock.
I would just buy a generic dock if it didn't have wireless charging, not worth the extra money otherwise.
Hello Guys!
I just bought my LGOG and I'm waiting for it in the mail. While it arrives, I've been looking for a dock that supports the phone but haven't found anything yet.
Have you guys know of any Dock that works and fits this phone? I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure it will fit since it's for the S3:

What do you guys think?
yeah I`m about ready to order a desktop dock for a note or note 2 and try it out, I just want it for my night stand, like this one its suppose to have a compliant mico usb so it will flex and move with different thickness of phones still on the fence about it
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...1357149193&sr=8-45&keywords=note+desktop+dock
or one like this
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2032180&CatId=4975
Yeah i only need a dock for charging the phone on my night stand, so i guess a cheap one would do the trick. If no one has tried one yet I guess I'll have to buy one myself to try it out.

here`s a dock I just bought from Amazon, the EZO dock it has adjustable front to back usb connector has soft pad for the back and front, looks like it would work with no problem if you had TPU case on your phone, but I use a neoprene slip pouch for my phone so I don`t have case that stays on the phone. pics are below

Probably be easier to get the coil from the Palm Pre (and cheaper to get parts). But I don't think it charges via the qi standard and you would have to use the TouchStone Charger.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered one. I hope one of the devs can tweak a kernel so that we can play audio out of the micro USB the way the GS3 and Note 2 can. *ahem*
Does that universal dock work with a tpu case?

Has anyone tried the S3 Dock? I don't think the dimensions are too large for the Optimus G.

Slow charge only, no matter what charger.

it should work, cause i have this case and it fits fine because the usb portion of the dock does protrude out a bit.
I'm coming from a dying N5, which I "dock" on my nightstand and office desk with the Nexus (4) Orb wireless charger. Fantastic setup since the N4.
I see a few USB-C docks out there, but of course none have been designed for the Pixel (not to say they won't work). For those that do use a dock and will want one for the Pixel, I'm interested to see what people will choose to use or if any manufacturer will make a dock for the Pixel.
Making this thread for discussion and reviews/tests of any docks once we receive our phones. Cheers!
I need one too
Have a few generic USB c ones in my Amazon wish list waiting to press one click

I got this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DT1D7CY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's cheap but seems to be made pretty well, i tried it with my lg g5, seems to work well. It has an attached usb cable but deos not come with a ac adapter, which is good because you can use a good quick charge block with it.

Did that work okay for the Pixel? Seems like an unobtrusive dock, but I'm wondering if the back supports the Pixel or if it'll just be held up by the USB-C connector (clearly not ideal).

The little back piece actually holds it up, I think it would be better if it was a little higher but it did work.
UNBELIEVABLE (read: very believable) that there is a not a SINGLE dock out there that supports USB C fast charging and actually has the proper resistor as to not damage your phone (according to the hardware approved by Benson and Nathan K at Google).
For me, fast charging was a mediocre substitute for wireless charging and now I have neither in a dock.

FYI guys this is *probably* (a lot of these docks are just rebranded, the specific link he reviewed is no longer there, but the dock looks the same) the DEMOM dock Benson reviewed here. Use at your own risk.

There's no way that'll provide quick charging. The other end of the cable is USB Type-A which cannot support the Pixel's fastest charging (18W Power Delivery) nor can it even support the Nexus 6P's fast charging (which is slower than the Pixel's).
Anyone try the https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/ ? It seems to take type c input as well.
That Seidio looks nice, I might pick one up as I'm a sucker for docks...
-Edit- just ordered one, I'll follow up next week when I get to use it.
Found an Apple style dock
I prefer this for about $6. You can't put the phone vertical, but its simple, stable and will accommodate cases. It folds easily into a pocketable piece and it won't over stress your USB C connector on your phone.

I got a couple of these and they're nice. I use my stock charger to plug into the dock. Drop the phone straight downward onto the connector then it hinges on a spring when you lean the phone back. It's a pretty stable dock if you need/want one. I'm using it with a diztronic TPU case and it could take larger too.

How would the Seidio do with a naked phone? I don't use a case, just a skin and wet-apply screen protector. I'd really love to find a good dock that's USBC on both ends, but don't want to stress the connector.
TIA.

It should work fine. Well, even with my slim tpu the phone really rests on the connector, but I'm not worried about damage. It's a stable dock and I like it as it's straight USB-C.
