Hi,
I am searching for a dock that I can plug the TFP quickly.
Is there such a dock the plugs to the bottom connector and the PC and able to charge/sync the dock?
I use my TFP at work and take it to all meetings. I need a stand that I can put the tablet in it and it will charge/sync until the next meeting.
I don't want to always use the keyboard dock for that.
I know that the Samsung tab has such a dock.
Thanks.

Anyone found a plain old USB dock for the razr yet? I use mine as my alarm, so it charges on the stand next to my bed...there's no way I'm spending $50-60 on an hdmi dock in that situation.
I do the same as you and use this http://www.dealextreme.com/p/stainless-steel-mini-stand-holder-for-cell-phones-pair-40948
It works really well
I will be using my GT 7.7 allot in the car and likely in the landscape orientation. This puts the 30pin connector and cable sticking straight out the side.
Is there any 90 degree ("L" shaped) 30pin connectors available? (similar to a "L" shaped SATA connectors -see picture-)
If there is, this would point the cable towards the dashboard and and make the cable routing less messy looking.
I searched but didn't come up with anything.
Note: I know I could use the Samsung OEM car dock (which, I think, has the power cable connector in the back/bottom) but was looking for a lower cost option.
Thank
Any luck with finding one of these cables?

Have you had a look at my cheap solution for car a car dock and cable management yet?
I know this was posted awhile ago, but if you or anyone else is interested, the original samsung galaxy tab HDMI dock uses the same connector and works w/ the 7.7 (I know because i have a couple). You can get these on amazon for $15 right now. I believe this is the same dock for all the tabs and they just change the plastic piece that holds your tablet to accomodate the model (i have the original galaxy tab, the 7 Plus, and the 7.7 and they ALL work).
If you take it apart, the tablet connector looks exactly like what you are looking for - an L shaped 30-pin. The profile when plugged in is very thin and looks less like when you have the actual car charger cable plugged directly into the tablet.
I've attached a picture of what the cable end looks like. The nice thing is if you keep all the electronics intact, there is an area in the back that the car charger cable connects to pass power to this cable as well as a 3.5 jack for your auxiliary audio connector. Once you lop off the plastic tablet holder part, you have a bare ribbon cable that you can cover in black electrical tape and you just have to mount the pod onto the back of a hard tablet mount and plug your power and auxiliary audio cable into it.
Dear rEVOLVE
i liked your idea the most and i already ordered the dock, but i have a question, my ordered dock has HDMI output as well, so can i do some electronic modification Like this DIY USB OTG cable to connect USB hub to it in the same time as well, so finally i got i charging 30pin port, auxiliary 3.5 audio port, HDMI port, and USB port???
thank you
hi
I need some of help with power plug for galaxy tab
look at this http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1931227&p=-1&#bottom
anybody got any ideas?
I saw a pin out and link to the male and female dock connectors in the orig transformer q&a section. I am thinking about what I can do with them. Some ideas:
1) make a small adaptor from the dock connector to micro USB.
- I understand that charging is slow when connected to a regular USB charger, but I already have like ten of those around the house and in the car for our phones.
2) create an audio/charge only converter from the Asus connector to the iPod connector. I have a speaker that has an iPod dock, and friends/relatives have other accessories for iPods.
- I was thinking of cannibalizing an "ipod dock extension" cable, and connecting one of these mouser plugs.
3) make a cradle or dock, and include the dock connector. I don't plan on buying the keyboard for a while, so this might be a good way to make something out of wood, that lets me charge the tablet, while being able to keep it visible.
I just ordered my tp, so I was wondering what you thought would be useful and what I don't understand.

Hi all,
i'm looking for to buy a Razr Maxx.
Now I have Milestone 2 and it have a simple method to "understand" Car Dock Mode, It have a gauss sensor on its back. This sensors recognoize a magnet on the dock and switch the phone to car dock. I purchased a little thin magnet and with some glue attached it to an universal holder.
This switched my universal holder to a Motorola Car Dock ).
I have to use a universal car dock, because i don't want to remove phone from silicon shell every time i use in the car, so i do not want to use a motorola cardock.
Reading around i found that Razr and Razr Maxx, do not have this magnet sensor, but the switch to car dock is hanled by special connection into USB cable.
So I would like to know it there is a USB Cable that switch phone to Cardock. Also a schema of the cable it's enought I can made by myself.
Many Thanks
Marco
There's no cable that activates car dock. However, I'm puzzled why you're not looking for software to activate car dock, or an alternative car dock app.

Has anyone found a good car dock for the s4? I'm not looking for a car holder, but a real dock that the phone will slide into and will have a hard mounted usb connection on the bottom for charging the phone while in the dock. Something with bluetooth audio would be a bonus. I'm basically tired of having to plug in my usb and 1/8th inch jacks every time. I'd like to just dock the phone and have everything connected.
I see tons of cheap desktop docks on ebay, but nothing for the car.
Check out ibolt dock. I haven't gotten the phone yet but i saw that somewhere.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I've been looking myself and haven't found one yet. Even the iBolt one needs you to plug it in everytime.
Hopefully something will come up.
