Does anyone know if the HTC EVO 4G LTE (i just like typing all of that) is going to get the PowerMat?
I have it for my HTC EVO 4G, and was about to buy more mats but won't if the new EVO won't have it.
I am assuming they will NOT, because you can't get to the battery..
I was hoping the same thing, I am considering trying to modify my EVO back to fit on the LTEvo, but I won't know til I have a LTEvo in hand

email powermat.
personally I hate that thing and it worked like crap so I returned it. I want real wireless charging like the GS3 is supposed to have.
So because of the the UniBody design I looks like all the antennas are located under the top half removable cover.
Im thinking if i can mod the mother board like the OGEvo and run the cable out and place the coil on the bottom half and just protect it with a body skin like zagg or something.
Then i can use touchstone without it interfering with the NFC or any other of the antennas.
BTW if i could get this to work then i really wouldn't care about it showing thru skin. It would actually boost my Geek ego.
I have visited the future and I can confirm that no, there will be no PowerMat for the E4GL. Unless, of course, my actions change the course of events from this point forward. . . .
so wish another manufacturer would buy the Touchstone patents from HP. best thing ever!
I have a OtterBox commuter, and IM taking my touchstone from my of evo, and a Powermat case for the of evo and using the low profile micro USB plug from the power mat , and putting the touchstone under just the plastic of the OtterBox that way I don't really have to open up the evo LTE (wife really doesn't want me to kill the warranty) it was so nice to have the touchstone from the of evo, I think it would be better if HTC would just buy touchstone, or cone up with something similar, there is really no reason this is not a standard for phones, sorry this is one of my biggest complaints about smart phones, from a hardware stand there its no reason that phones don't have this, maybe a patent thing.

hey guys I am looking for a dock to use when I am at home .And because I can't use the kickstand anymore and the kickstand case can't be used when charging looks like a dock is the way to go(might be some conspiracy theory on making people buy docks lol).
Anyway is the one at best buy the only one? Any reviews? Thanks!
sent from my EVO3d
The updated version of the kickstand case does indeed allow charging and kickstand use.
Ok I will check it out. I'm still interested in docks though
sent from my EVO3d
I'm interested in this as well. I loved charging my Droid on its dock at night. Would love to get one for the EVO 3d.
Meant to look for one when I got it at sprint but was too distracted.
How much was the one at bestbuy?

I believe that the home dock is an expense solution compared to the stock EVO 4G one. I don't believe that it comes power cable, and definately doesn't come with HDMI (MHL compatible). So for $50 you get a EVO 3D holder. Might wait until 3rd party comes up with something better than OEM.
Also side note: Funny that Sprint is selling 3rd party iGrip car docks for $40 and BestBuy has the HTC OEM one for $60. Actually think that the HTC one is a little nicer and possibly worth the extra $20. I had the OEM one for my EVO 4G and found it very useful on long trips to keep my phone ready for GPS or as a MP3 player.
Thanks guys, I will look around.

Desk/Car Docks with Audio Out?
Does anyone know if there is or will be a car or desk dock with 3.5 mm audio out? I don't know if the EVO 3D even supports audio out from the USB port, but considering that there is HDMI out, I'd say its quite possible.
I've been looking at car docks online. I've found a couple that had micro-USB for charging, but not audio out.
i cant believe there sold out everywhere!!!!!!!
That's the only Evo 4G feature I'm really missing. I used it quite a bit... kind of bummed they got rid of it.
Best Buy sells a case with a kickstand. Inexplicably pricey like all cell phone cases, but worth it if you miss the kickstand.

Many more much needed upgrades that have been added, easily account for the kick stand and they sell nifty cases with manly kickstands

My kickstand messed up and wouldn't stay closed, so no I do not miss it.
I miss mine. I never put my phone flat on its face or on its back in fear of messing up the screen or camera. I always used the kick stand. It was really nice watching Sprint TV, web tv, hulu, movies, and playing video games using the kickstand. Now I have to go buy some stupid clunky case.
+1 for missing the kickstand. Maybe someone will make an extended battery case with a kickstand in it.. I'd buy that with real money.
I thought I would miss it but I havent missed it at all.

yes i miss it. im waiting for the extended battery with case with the kickstand
oh and the one with the bigger geebees
I do, even though I never used it.
i miss it even though i didn't use it all that much. more of a show-off feature. i went into best buy today and looked at their piece of **** kickstand case. it is 35.00$ the actual kickstand is thin plastic. i will get an htc case with the big metal kickstand once i find a black one.
the one thing i am seeing though is when this phone is on it's kickstand the charging port is going to be sitting on the bottom. not a huge deal for me since i didn't use it for long periods of time, but a really big FAIL for htc. should have left the charging port at the bottom like the 4G
Never used it, to be honest.

well maybe i am mistaken. according to this pic the charge port will be on top on the htc case. i could have swore the POS best buy case was opposite. i even pointed it out to the girl trying to sell me one and she said "oh your right" now i definately will be getting one

Apparently the microUSB port does HDMI-out. Look up "MHL port" on google. Special cable required, of course, and an HDTV not more than 2 years old "might" be completely MHL compatible too.
I miss mine and also the Micro USB port on the bottom.
I was wondering if anyone has seen a charging dock for the EVO 4g LTE. It seems the EVO is missing the contacts that the ONE X has on the back so that it can easily be placed in a dock. I know its not a deal breaker but i would really like to be able to just place my phone in a dock without having to fumble for the cable to plug into the side of the phone.
Look for sedio to come out with one....otherwise the kickstand is ur friend...

Except for the fact that the Micro-USB port is on the bottom when using the kickstand. A bit of a design fail there.

It's designed so you can flip the device over and still charge it while using the kickstand. Spring loaded, so it holds it up fine.
Yeah, I was about to say the kickstand is more rigid and firm than the og evo and works from any side.
**** Apple, I won't buy anymore of there products.
I found some for 12-20 on ebay for the one x I imagine it will work w the evo lte. Not certain as I've seen it said exact same size but also where it says diff sizes

I use this. It's a little pricey, but has good sound and works well with android. Has either AUX input or bluetooth for audio. Also should work with pretty much any phone with a microUSB port.
Philips Phone Dock
They also have one that can be powered by batteries, but it sounded horrible.
I loved the car dock for my original Evo. I just assumed there would be one for the LTE - but after getting the phone and seeing the power port on the upper left side, I am thinking no dice on any dock for this phone. any official news/word? any rumors even?
HTC already had one for around$35. I believe you can get it at a sprint store. Theres a couple reviews out there check the accessories sub-forum.

that's an iGrip car dock branded for Sprint, I'm also waiting for the HTC car dock for the EVO... I had one for my EVO 4G and My EVO 3D.. now I want one for my EVO LTE.
Just my thoughts, the I grip is 100 times better and more secure.

I'm 10000% positive..
My girlfriend has one for her EVO 3d and it's almost identical..
the HTC car dock will look almost identical to the HTC car dock that they have for the One X.
I don't like the iGrip because it's not as versatile as the HTC car dock.. I had the HTC car dock for my "old" EVO 3d and it's WAAAAY better than the iGrip, only down side is that it will probably cost around $60.00

I haven't used it with the EVO LTE, yet, but I loved it with the 4G.
I know it's not a car dock, but I figure some people may not be familiar with it. This + USB charger and some creative wiring = slick, out-of-the-way install.

second this, as long as its not a bulky otterbox. TPU silicone and hard cases should work fine. They also supply little pieces of foam so if your phone is at an angle, you can straighten it out. You'll see what i mean if you get one.
cheers
For a cheaper dock the quality is surprisingly good, got mine with the media link back when they had the 2 for 20% off, all in all only paid about a hundred bucks, dock was practically free lol

Amazon has a good one called iOttie

holds any phone, so it came in handy for me. also they have excellent customer support. mine broke when my daughter knocked it off the counter with my phone in it and they sent me a replacement for free
I think the one that Sprint sells is the closest you'll get to OEM from HTC. Unfortunately, I've ONLY been able to find it in stores and on Sprint's website. Finding it on any other website or eBay is pretty much impossible to find a better price. I like keeping everything OEM, so I'll probably get it when I'm really going to need it.
the one sold by sprint is made from a company called ibolt. They make a generic car dock for the oneX that fits the LTE and the oneX.
http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Vehicle...?ie=UTF8&qid=1347487055&sr=8-3&keywords=ibolt
that is the one that i'm using right now. works great and its the same price at sprint. i just bought it off of amazon because i had a $50 Amazon gift card so i basically got it for free.

This ARkon mount its the note, it'll fit the Evo with a Ballistic case:
http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/slimgrip-dashboard-mount-sm578.html
They have window suction and other ones of you don't want the dash version. Best of all, they're mostly under $20.
I ordered an iBolt from Amazon and you can (optional) use it with or without case. All you have to do is remove a piece of plastic from the mount and it fits with case. Its a very sturdy and flexible mount and I recommended it. I think I paid around $25-30. There are cheaper ones out there but you get what you paid for...

I took a trip to the local Sprint store this morning and picked up their car dock and I must say, Im damn impressed at the quality! kind of whack that it doesnt include a charge cable but it is a nice piece for sure. I hightly recommend it :good:
I just got the iBolt version from thecellguru.com & love it so far. $27 after shipping (no tax for those in states that care). Cheapest I was able to find anywhere online (even eBay). They only have it under the OneX compatibility section (probably because that's what it says on the box), but I can attest that it works fine with the EvoLTE. Oh, and no I do not work for them...just dropping a tip to save everyone some $ on a decent accessory.

Sent from my LTEVO
I've been looking at the ibolt. Has anyone used it with an otterbox commuter case? The reviews and description say it can be used with a case, but otterbox has a flap covering the usb port so I don't know how it would work.
I wish they would make one like I had for the og evo. With the cone shaped base and the thin chrome post with ball on each end, and thin minimal plastic clip holding the phone. All so neat and trim. I hate the big boat shape tray on the sprint/ibolt one, especially since my phone has no case, that boat shape is way bigger than the phone and looks ugly. Also the big fat hold-down clip on the top. Ugh.. it all blocks so much more window view than necessary. And of course the blue charging light, yet another unnecessary light on my dash at night.
But it holds the phone securely, charges, and provides a good landscape gps and media player.
I'll have to dig up a pic of my old og evo setup to show what I mean. I think the dock was actually for the hero but it worked on the og evo with a tiny hack just trimming away a small bit of plastic. Looked a hundred times better than the sprint/ibolt. This was definitely one downgrade from upgrading from og evo to evo lte.
