has anyone found a desktop charging dock that will work with this guy?
I have seen some for the one, but this phone is almost an inch wider, so I don't think those would work
thanks
Here's one that you can check out. The Only thing is that the Micro USB is directly in the Middle though.

There seems to be a port on the bottom of the tablet that is perfectly suited for docking, it seems. Is there such thing as dock for GTab? If not what the port for?
Thank
Eugene
Yes.. Google Malata z pad dock, or just poke around this forum. Google electronic crap com too. Sorry, not sure we're supposed to post links.

Here is a link to the site in the US where you can order a dock and other accessories for this tablet.

I don't think you looked very hard before posting as the thread 'gTab hdmi dock REVIEW' is almost always in the first or second page of the accessories section.

Seen HDMI dock thread but did not read into it as i have no interest in HDMI(ing) But after i posted this question i did looked in there and seems like its same dock, HDMI port or not.
Sorry for doubleposting, perhaps i had an extra slow day up in my head.

Hey XDA! I was wondering if anyone has found a home-made clip to help sit the phone on the face or top of a six-axis/dualshock 3 controller?

You are definitely going to have to make that yourself. Maybe a mixture of a car dock and a clamp. I just use an old stand from my captivate that thankfully the s2 fits into

I saw them a few days a go, their pretty cool hey.
I just don't like the angle they sit on makes it so you have too hold the controller up to my face.
I made another (much like my previous ) a few days ago with a bit more of an angle.
Feels much better to hold.
His one just much more convenient though haha
Designing a car mount to work with my Seidio case that will still allow docking features. The mount will be mated to a ProClip mount for ideal location. It will be molded out of Kydex and will have a micro-fleece like lining in it. The electronics will be torn from a Samsung OEM desktop dock from my Vibrant (close relitive of the captivate). This is a very rough idea based on a design in my head. Any input would be appriciated.
Update: I pulled the circuit board from the OEM dock. I'm torn between using it or not. The dock offer audio pass through but at the cost of fast charge capabilities. Not sure if i want to sacrifice this. Day to day the audio pass through will be very handy, but when I need GPS on long trips, I will have to rely on an occasional battery swap. Thoughts?

On the charge front, can you modify the pins internally to allow for fast charge?

Yes I'm sure I could, but I imagine this would interfere with the audio pass through as you would be shorting the data pins to accomplish this, then how would the data pass.

I see. So the dock uses the USB connector to take the audio from the phone, to the 3.5mm jack attached to the dock. Then from the dock fo your head unit?

Precisely, I use slacker every morning for my morning commute plugged into the AUX via patch cable so this has major everyday advantage for me. This would allow me to simply drop my phone into the dock. Using Tasker I could have it auto launch slacker.
The only alternative to obtain the best of both worlds is to open up a patch cable, ID +/- then wire a switch shorting the data pins in the closed position. While this works in theory, I’m not sure what the effects it would have on the phone/stereo (noise or actual damage). I have little working knowledge of audio.
What if you used the current OE dock and modified that one? That one is already proven to charge.

If I run into one cheap I may try, but I don't want to throw money at this which was my original plan. I made my first car mount tonight. This is the first time working with the much thicker Kydex T 0.093" and boy was it a pain to work. The stuff is about 4 times thicker then the seidio cases plastic shell. I took pics and even a couple videos. I'm happy with it in that it was a shot in the dark and I didn't expect alot out of the first one and also I found out how damn touch this thickness of Kydex is. I will post up info on it tomorrow when I have time to actually type it all up.
interesting, I was hoping to build my own dock as well. Could you post pictures of the circuit board from the original dock? I'm close to buying one just to tear apart for the charge+audio
Great work so far, Keep us posted

You can buy the dock for vibrant or captivate for about $8-$10. I tested they board and it does charge and pass audio.
There are about 6 tiny screws that are accessed by prying off the panel off the back. Be careful doing this, easy to gouge your hand.
The problem will come when you try to mount the board without leaving these delicate wires exposed. Hope this helped.

I'm interested in doing this, too.
I've got my old Captivate OEM car dock around here somewhere. I'm wondering if that would work, too.

Should work just fine. I am putting the finishing touches on my guide right now for my first mount that I made last night. If you follow the instructions you should have no problem making a mount an incorporating whatever features you like. I'm still up in the air whether I will be using this dock board or just placing a 90 degree USB cable in. I am waiting to hear back on a quote from a Kydex dealer for a few more sheets and when I get those I will make a more refined end product. What I post here in a bit will be just a way of getting people on the track to making their own mounts. Many people don't realize how easy it really is.
The OEM dock offers fast charge and audio pass through at the same time. No idea how, but it does work...

I was looking at the wiring, if I could figure out which pins are used for audio, I could figure out if the other pins could (possibly already are?) fused. I know there are complains about OEM desk docks from captivate and other same gen galaxy s devices not fast charging.

I will get to all that when the time comes, but of course I would be more than happy to supply anything I possibly can to help others out. May be sending out these early prototypes to those who want them once I get something more refined cranked out.

Nice work so far! I've been entertaining the idea of a car dock for my precious Note as well, and I wasn't a big fan of the one that is available from Samsung.
If you plan to move into any sort of CAD/CAM development, I'd love to offer my modeling skills to the cause. I made this guy a while back for my Atrix as a desk dock, but ended up buying the HD dock towards the end of the Project lol.
I'm not trying to highjack this thread or anything, just want to offer my services to the cause. If there is an interest, i will start drawing up some plans.

Very cool work but mine will be mounted in my truck so that cool work would go to waste. My mount is aimed at the average joe who can invest <$20 and have themselves a full functional car dock. I'm working on tracking down sources for different parts. I just some rotating adjustable low profile swivels that will allow the case just to rotate from portrait to landscape rather then disassembly. I ordered two to try it out.
Nice cant wait to see the finished product will you be selling any?
Found this in the N7000 thread.
Just half the price of original dock and has extra battery charger option. Ordered one. Will post more pics once i get it .
( Surprised that more people have not developed a desktop dock with audio out. )

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this.
Anyone knows if notes with cases fit?

Mine should be getting shipped very soon and as soon as I receive it I can let you know. I've got a plethora of cases to try it out on. However judging from the pictures, I'd say it is a no go.
its too bad that all the Note docks are portrait.
On my Atrix, i loved the fact that HDMI out and USB out were on the side, so it can dock perfectly in landscape mode.

I know it does not show a picture but it looks like this would work in portrait. The back of the stand has a pyramid for and tilts the phone back at any angle. The dock also exceeds the mid point up the sides. It should stay balanced if put on either side. Looks like a nice option.

This is correct. This stand will work in portrait.
Yes this stand works just great in landscape as well as portrait. It also works for data transfer between your phone and pc. I got a few rubber bumpers to stick on for landscape mode to keep it from moving around. Works great!
NOTE- Your phone will not fit with a case on.
found this the other day and just ordered one..price was right and it looks good, but takes awhile to come from overseas..

Just got it today, so it didn't take as long as I thought..
It looks exactly like the ebay picture, and the fit and finish is very nice as well. It comes with an insert that you can remove, so you can put a slim case on your phone, and still keep it in the dock, or leave the insert in and put the phone in "naked". It comes with a USB cable, but NOT a charger, which is fine with me, as I have so many cables and chargers already.
For the money, it was WELL worth it; this dock, with a "name brand" on it would be at least 29.99 or more, so for 16.99 shipped, its definitely worth it, if you want a desktop vertical dock for the phone!
hey @wase4711, Look Google listened to you
Neat: Google Search v3.2 Finally Enabled Google Voice Search Instead Of The Old Voice Dialer With Bluetooth Headsets
PS: did not try it on my phone yet & did not find your bluetooth thread lol
I'll let you know when my first royalty check comes.:good:
Horizontal dock options?
In a perfect world there would be a horizontal (aka landscape) dock option for this device, but I haven't found it yet. Has anyone else had any luck?
ahhh i was hoping for the charger feature!
