here is the official desktop dock from samsung for the SGH-i777
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1D3BEGSTA
is this what you'd use if you just want alarm clock on nightstand? or is there a smaller dock that will be available?
Can the official dock be used to connect it to a TV? Or, is there another dock that allows you to connect to a TV?

Hmmm, wonder if the INFUSE desktop dock will fit (if it does, not perfectly I'm sure) since I already have one.

I absolutely loved my Body Glove hard shell on my Captivate. It was the very best. I got a Ballistics for my SGII - its better than I even expected it to be and I can be very picky.

hmm.. curious if the 'generic' MHL adapters are any different in quality versus the oem.. (in terms of res/quality capacity)
i really want that dock though... no generics on ebay yet... but curious if international one would work... since the port is in the same location...

International only
I actually picked up the first case, in the link to the other forum. It is the AGF Soft Shell with the leather insert. I didn't really like it but it was better than the others and much thinner. I didn't want to risk damaging the phone without a case. I actually like it much better on the phone than in the package. It is a very very tight fit. There are also two holes at the top so I think this case is universal for the international and AT&T versions of the SGS II.
Honestly, once it is installed it feels like it is part of the phone not an added on case. The lip on the display is absolutely minimal. It actually requires a little massaging to completely cover the outer edge. Once in place, it doesn't budge.
I may still return it if I find something better though.

Good day everyone!I have a quastion - Will the i9100 display and digitizer fits i777?
Just wanted to share if anyone is interested in buying a dock, I purchased this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-s2-i9100-Zenis-Desktop-Dock-Charger-/330621326245?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfa9113a5
It works greats for charging and syncing, is built fairly well (for the price) and comes with a removeable insert that allows you to use a case (so long as it isn't very thick) with the dock. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Hahaha been around here long enough to know where threads go, this was meant to give people another dock option other than the Samsung one since I know a few people are not very pleased with it. But thanks for your "mod" suggestion.

I bought the same dock a couple weeks ago, still waiting for it too arrive! Sadly all of these come from Korea, so it takes a while. From my searching it seems to be the best bang for your buck dock. Guess I will have to see when I finally receive it.
Here is a question though. How snug does the phone fit without a case and the insert in the dock?
its a "tight" fit with the insert. you don't have to force the phone in, but it fits well.
Got the dock today and I would highly recommend it for the price! If you use a case with your phone this is a no-brainier. Personally I do not so I have to use the rubber insert, which for the most part is fine. I just don't like how it is a gray color instead of black. Got this dock for 11 dollars on eBay, i think that is a bargain for this dock.
Does it put the phone in dock mode when inserted into the dock like the oem dock?
Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.
Im ordering my Dock.
www.engadget.com
Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7878.htm
there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.
so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?
i just ordered one from slipgripcarmounts. they are custom molded so you can leave your case on. does anyone know if there any good? Ill post a review if anyone wants..

Never seen those. I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
Greetings all,
This phone is a beast and it is a shame that it does not have an official car dock. I am coming from an Atrix and am really used to the ease of snapping it in place and charger/aux cable is already connected to the mounting unit.
Note: I do not have a Bluetooth enabled receiver in the car, nor do I want the HTC or any other Aux => Bluetooth music adapter.
A few questions:
1. Is there an OFFICIAL car dock for another phone that will fit the AT&T Optimus G? (preferably with audio through USB)
2. Anyone know if the IBolt for Galaxy S3 will fit the AT&T Optimus G?
3. I have read the post on the Infuse Car dock, but doe it pass audio through USB? Would it work with Optimus G?
4. If anyone has any other working solution, I would really be thankful if you could share it.
Thanks all!
I'm using the USA Gear vent mount, I've had it for over a year and haven't had any problems with it. You can find it on amazon for $15.00 plus shipping. The mount swivels so you can use your phone in landscape or portrait mode, it's universal too soo you can clip in basically any cellphone.
I use the Samsung Galaxy universal car dock in my avalanche.
I have the body glove case but the dock works great with or without a case.

So I have managed to find an Infuse car dock for $5 dollars. It is not a bad solution for holding the phone, and the charging feature works. The audio does not work however, and you are required to plug the aux cable into the headphone jack.
Optimus G does not fit in the dock by default. You need to take a pair of pliers and bend back the corners a bit.
Can you provide pictures? I am curious how bad/good the fit is. Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know if the audio not working is a hardware or software limitation of our LGOGs? I'm looking for an in-car solution myself, and would much prefer to have audio out through USB, rather than plugging in to the headphone jack as well.

I bought a 20$ one
I got a cradle at Walmart for 20$, its a universal unit and holds phones securely with foam and a back grip. works as expected the only real problem you have to overcome yourself is getting it not to vibrate like crazy when you are idling, though i drive a Jeep so could be a car thing, I guarantee my car is in the top tier of vibrations, i solved mine by taping a small piece of foam or cardboard rolled into a tube and then getting it to sit on top of it, got it positioned exactly how i wanted it. just with i had a bluetooth stereo deck so i could axe the wires.
For a mount, I use the iOttie windshield mount found here --> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FHX9OK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
My AT&T LGOG fits in the above mount both with and without my case (Candy Skin Cover - http://www.ebay.com/itm/400356840024?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
I have a Pioneer FH-P8000BT (http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-FH-P8000BT-Double-Din-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B001411BZ2) in my car, and the LGOG connects to it just fine for Bluetooth audio (tested with Google Music, Onecast, Doggcatcher, Songza, Pandora) and works well for telephone features as well. I have a 2008 Scion xD.
I use this mount: Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount, but instead of using it in the CD slot like it says (which would cover up my deck's screen), I have it in between two panels in my dash off to the side of my Clarion NX409's touch screen. That Clarion deck has bluetooth and it works better with my OG than it did my old GS2. All I have to do is plug in my USB charger if I want to, and I'm all set.
I picked up an Infuse dock last night at an AT&T store... I see a bit of time with a Dremel in my future. And I need to print a sticker to cover the Samsung logo, lol

No. Was being optimistic. Will work on it some this weekend, but extremely tight even without case...

I bought one of these prior to seeing the discussion of the Infuse dock, and planned to use it. But I was hoping for something with integrated charging to launch a Car Home app.

My Solution
Hey guys, I just got a new LGOG a couple of weeks ago (All stock and not rooted) and have been browsing this forum for ideas. A little background on my previous setup: I have a 2010 Civic and come from a Atrix 4G, plus being a person who spends a lot of time driving for work I loved the dock for the Atrix. I even loved the stock customizable Car Dock Software as well. But a fellow Car traveler turned me on to Car Home Ultra.
Now with the LGOG I wanted a similar setup,
Dock I am using:
Can't post links until 10 posts sorry:
iBolt ProDock - Search Amazon $26
Dock was smaller than I though and the LGOG did not fit until I put on the larger legs. And now it fits with or without my case (See below for my case) Plus I love that I can manage my one cable in the back of the dock. It comes with Air vent mounts, but I need it in the windshield. I will actually take pictures when I arrive a location to check in and having this dock allows full view with the camera. (you will see in the pictures below I have the phone all the way to the left for clearance for the camera) I also bought a left angle micro-b 3ft cable for power since it seems cleaner.
Using this Bluetooth setup my wife used before she go her new phone:
Belkin Bluetooth Car Handsfree - $50
The reason I use this is because it eliminates the 3.5 cable plus Android has always had issues with Notification and the headphones. When on headphones/aux this phone will mute the audiobook I have playing and play a distorted alert through the speaker (Non AUX speaker) then nothing until 4 seconds later my audiobook comes back. (I hate this when a good part of a book comes) I live off alerts and if I mute them I lose work. But when I muted the phone one time, the Notifications worked great, they played through the headphone/AUX and didn't skip music/audiobook. But I missed lot of emails/call when I am not in the car since I forgot to take it off silent.
Case I bought so I can still see the red notification light through the case:
TMax Smoke Checker TPU Case Cover for LG Optimus G E970 - Search amazon $6
It fits nice, not clear but pretty close.
So I also wanted the LGOG to go in Car Dock mode (Launch Car Home Ultra) when put in the dock, so the wife had the small magnets that you can cut and stick on things (Craft magnets I think). And I am still working on the best location but put it in the lower left so now the magnet activates the Car Dock mode automatically. Also the magnet I am using is not powerful enough to activate the car dock with the case on, I am looking for a stronger flat magnet and will install it soon. (See pictures) This dock also has an arm that comes out to hold the phone when in Portrait mode, I use it to perfectly align the phone with the magnet to launch the Car dock. Also without the Car Dock mode the lock screen and phone calls are in portrait mode even if the phone is in landscape. But in Car Dock mode it fixes it.
I could not post pictures but send me message and I will give you Dropbox links.
Sorry for the long post, hope this gets some of you ideas and I wanted to share mine. I know it's not perfect and my setup might cost more than the 5 dollar infuse dock with Dremel, but being on the road I needed something a little more. Thanks for all the ideas, and hopefully my first post here is helpful.
Edit: After typing all this out I just found out I can't post links and no pictures or links to pictures, sorry about that, makes my post pretty useless...
