I'm looking for something like this for our thunderbolts.
Ideally I'd like to leave this in my car and only plug in the 1 cable (which will have power + audio) then have a tasker rule that if headset is plugged and charging load the car app.
I find this this as well, http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-SKN6252-Verizon-Motorola-Adventure/dp/B000T3M0SS/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1301348086&sr=1-5, no idea if thatll work w/ the above one for the old mini-usb HTC phones.
any thoughts?
Interesting. Conflicting reviews on whether or not you can charge and listen to music with it at the same time. I'll pick one up and give it a try next time I order from Amazon.

great keep me posted. I may do the same considering it's price, just figure i would ask for confirmation from other users first.
I have the top adapter. When I go to Fry's this weekend I'll pick up a mirco to mini adapter and a usb coupler and see if any combinations work with the TB.
I have it on order and will have it here by next week.

I see the motorola car dock has Micro-usb out to a usb male and a 3.5mm jack. is this something one can do by cutting up a usb cable?? just a thought. maybe.... ? theres only black/yellow/red/green/white/ground out of a usb correct? ground and red are power.....

Lol sorry. The thoughts were flowing and it was bed time...
I pretty much thought of a DIY car dock. Make it yourself. I know its possible Im just wondering of anyone has done it before I try.

Its not necessary. you can access the cardock mode without having to use usb or any thing else. Using launcher pro or super manager, you can set up a shortcut to cardock mode.

I understand that and I have cyanogen mod which has the cardock app. I'm looking to make my own hardware cardock. I have seen people use USB and magnets and such on other phones but what I'm trying to attempt is to lose 1 cord hanging from the phone.
Is it possible to charge phone and play music out of just the micro USB port of the phone. I hate having wires running out of the top and side. Its a hassle to plug in two if I can do away with one.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
you'll have to find out what is triggering the phone to output analog audio over the USB lines. I'm assuming, there is a voltage put on pin5 of the USB (ID pin) telling the phone. "You are in a cardock. Load cardock application. Route analog audio to the USB pins". Again, I'm ASSuming it is using the data +/- lines as L/R audio outs.
I have 0 proof of any of this. Just as an EE, how I might do it. In short, it'll probably cost you more to build one, than to just buy the official on off ebay/amazon.
Also, since you're using Cyanogen, as am I -- with cardock and desktop dock, Cyanogen does NOT hve the ability to route audio through USB yet. You'll have to use the 3.5mm jack or bluetooth(?).
Ohhh that sucks... I'm sure cyanogenmod will fix that soon. Guess ill order the official. My main issue is I'm going to run this behind the dashboard so no hanging wires. Also not taking up my cigarette lighter. I didn't want to cut up the original cardock but I can manage. Thanks. Ill keep looking around.
It doesn't have to activate car dock to satisfy me but Audio out of USB is a must

Does the Motorola atrix car dock only plug into the USB port of the phone or does it use the HDMI port as well?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Only the USB not the HDMI.
You can put all the resistors you want, but cyangen as a ROM doesn't do it. Otherwise, it should work with the official one. I doubt it will work with a generic one, or a homemade one.
If this feature is a must for you, then go to a Pi variant of the official rom. That works great. I had like 17-18 hours on a charge. With 8 of those streaming pandora at work.
I froze the CarDock application on my Pi rom, and everything still worked (audio through USB.)
If you want usb cables, www.monoprice.com.
As for the HTC thing, make sure it is not a properitary connector to HTC phones, like the motorola docks are to motorla phones. Ie) The Resistor on pin 5 of the HTC one might be 100k, while the one in the motorola one might be 200k.
Seriously, its easier to get the official one. Theres only one cable from the dock (microusb) Which splits into a USB-A and 3.5mm. And you can get extension cables from monoprice.
Good luck.
Wow... thanks. I meant to mention I have an extended battery so the phone is bigger than stock. And I wanted the ability to buy a new phone and keep my DIY Dock installed. But HTC and Motorola differ grrr.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
You found out for sure? I'm not saying there ARE, but they MIGHT be.
That sucks man. The battery pack probably won't fit on the cardock, it MIGHT on the regular dock. But the car dock has a back to it, and a latch that latches on the phone side. I HATE cases, and prefer skins. I had to trim the side of the skin from corner to corner on the USB side, just so it fit into the docks...little room for anything larger than stock phone.
I suggest...hacking up the official cardock or maybe the regular dock (instead of one cable, it has two jacks -- a microusb and a 3.5mm), and using a Pi-rom.
Ok so my goal to achieve is.. a permanent hidden wire behind the dash.
Kind of blows motos differ from HTC.. puts a kink...
I also hate cases but! With this extended battery my phone EASily lasts 2 days with decent usage. Like navigation all weekend. I had my stock back and battery in today with moderate use like Pandora at work and I was 10% by lunch. Possibly because I wiped the battery stats this morning from the Tom change. Allso I hear there is a battery drain in cyanogenmod.
I'm going to search up the pi-rom
I will most likely sucker up and buy the moto dock and use my stock battery :-(
I hate to cut the dock up when u can always resale it with the phone with the attrix 5g comes out lol

Confused about cherrypi a little bit.
4.5.91 RADIO UPDATE - Being that the n............
I am unlocked.. installing the recovery is no issue....
but the radio update im lost. there is no real instructions on usage.
I download the ....91 radio from the link.
"YOU REQUIRE TENFARS UNLOCKED CWM"
so i have to use tenfars cwm, flash radio...
flash romracers recovery...
than i can flash cherrypi?
Why cant everyone just make compatible things with cwm recovery from rom manager
I got it installed. Not too thrilled it seems like a themed stock rom. I will deal with it until progress on cyanogen goes further
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
you have to remember this particular rom came out right after the bootloader unlocked. before Cyanogen even started.
All there was was 4.5.91 so every custom rom was based on that.
It was also done before a lot of the other clockworkmod recoveries were around... tenfars was the only viable one at the time. Hell, I even tried CWM's and it didn't work for C7 either. I still had to go to romracers recovery .
It is a themed and somewhat debloated 4.5.91, says so right in the description.
Extremely stable. Use Titanium Backup to freeze some other processes and you should easily be able to get 17hours on one full charge with 8hours of that streaming pandora over HSPA (stock battery). I do that all the time at work. And to top it off, the dock functions WORK.
I also changed from the launcher it comes with to ADW...to give it more of a stock feel.

I've been running π crust lately. It's pretty good. Not a fan of most of the themed roms.
I actually restored back to c7 because my home button quit working.
I noticed battery performance right off the bat with pi crust. I liked having blur but not logging in lol. The sticky notes from it are nice.
17 hours on stock battery with 8 hours streaming Pandora sounds nice. I actually stream 3hours of I heart radio in the morning than switch to Pandora.

i made mine but anything designed for the galaxy nexus seems to work.
I have all usb host working ie, flash drive, mouse/keyboard, (stick mount & powered hub) (when you mount flashdrive etc use a file explorer to locate it on your sdcard "usbstorage").
any tips on getting bluetooth activated as my dongle shows up in usb controller app but the BT toggle switch doesn't stay switched:-(

no probs, i'm off to bed so i'll do it in the morning.
it,s 1.18am here.
I'm also trying to incorporate a male & female stereo jack so i can use the headphone port at the same time (this will make it alot more rugged as well as it will have the two points of contact and not just the usb).
when I strip it back down tomorrow I will post a step by step guide with pic's.
the hardest part is stripping the back off the micro connector to expose pin 5. also I used a multi meter with sewing needles taped to the test leads to test it all out after the build. (I made a straight one first which is easier but puts strain on the usb port)imo.
once the headphone jack extension is finished I will put in a lever for the power button
hope this helps and happy stripping (watch those little fingers it's fiddly) lol
haha I know exactly what you mean, I sliced my finger this morning trying to peel back the micro USB plastic but anyways thanks, I really appreciate it that thing is awesome

Soundfreaq Sound Kick. Its Bluetooth but has USB to charge your phone. It can even charge your phone when it isn't plugged in via its own rechargeable battery. Sound is terrific for a 99 dollar speaker. Its even well made.

an alternative would be to buy a DAC and a docking station and then connect the dock to the DAC via micro usb in the docking station, but that would result in not charging the phone, and dont know if it would work with usb host trough the docking station
a nice way to do it would be buying a wireless charging kit, a bluetooth reciever or a bluetooth speaker, then using tasker (i dont know if this can be done as i dont use tasker) to automaticly connect to the bluetooth reciever or speaker, then you have a VERY nice way of listening to you music while charging
sorry for my bad english, hope you get the point

To connect to a DAC, you need the USB-OTG cable. There are a few on eBay that do include a third connection on the cable, specifically for charging.
Thanks for the suggestions. Shall search around for the USB-OTG cable. New to all these things though so shall need to search around the Internet a bit in order not to blast anything up haha.

did your $40 car dock come in scratched all to hell like mine did?
So...story continues. Griffin is out of docks, but sent it back so I can work with Motorola. Griffin ran a test and reported it had reversed polarity?! Motorola...very difficult to work with...depends in who you talk to. When I finally got the right person they sent me an expedited replacement. Received today...DOESNT WORK EITHER! Double checked with no case. Plugged in a charger...phone received charge. Tried with my wife's MotoX...still nothing. Called Motorola first this time...talked to 2 people explained story twice...'we'll send you a new dock when we receive the broken docks'...no way! Demanded expedited shipping AND send before you receive...we'll see. Got a call back...I think it was someone from original call...told him the story too...said he would call me back tonight about next day air...no call...more drama later

These docks are really not impressive. Mine rarely goes into car mode and charges only after pushing and jiggling the usb connector.
How exactly does the phone know to go into car mode? Is there a chip in the dock or does the phone detect something else that puts it into car mode?

no they really are not. mine also rarely goes into car mode. sometimes i get car mode and then it immediately goes into daydream. and then both turn off. but i also think its a coding issue on motos side. cause when docked on the coffee table. if you use the phone and dont redock it... daydream does not come back.
