Desk Dock

Anyone else notice that the desk dock/charging station has been removed from the Samsung web site? I was looking forward to trying that. And why would all of the other accessories be out of stock at the samsung store? Seems like they should have had things ready before the phone was released.
Is this the one you mean? Desk Dock
It is listed under Chargers

Yep, that's the one. Thanks for pointing that out. They moved it from the main page and I paniced.

Multimedia Dock

Hi
Just spotted this on Expansys - is it genuine?
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/
I thought the multimedia dock was going to be landscape?
Or are there 2 options?
Matthew
Yeah saw this too, my bet is by looking at the triangle construction on the back it can be both landscape and portrait but may be wrong......
Assuming the docks in this video are for the Galaxy Nexus: http://youtu.be/14x9kKgvHkg?t=1m7s
There appear to be two docks. A landscape dock that uses the pogopins, and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL. I'd guess that the landscape dock is just a charging dock, while the portrait dock is a multimedia dock.
and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL.

Just a thought: Since MHL just mirrors everything on the screen, a portrait dock would make a terrible MHL Dock for the most part.
Might be a dumb q... but will the landscape multimedia dock charge at the same time?!
i have seen this dock with the galaxy II,in a video.
so maybe the shop is wrong?
There is definitely a portrait multimedia dock as I have seen it advertised on other sites but not available until 30th November. I looked at a similar dock on the expansys site for the Galaxy SII and it does say it can be used in landscapde mode but I would assume you did that by just turning the dock on its side and the viewing angle on a desk would be pretty bad like that since it would sit 90 degrees to the desk.
It also doesnt say any information such as output ports but the other ones I have seen have an HDMI OUT for connection to a monitor or tv.
The image is also wrong for the Galaxy Nexus as it shows 2 buttons on the right side (presumably for the volume) when there should just be the single button on the right for the on/off and 2 buttons on the left for the volume (which the picture snt showing so we dont know). It probably wont even look like that lol.
Expansys obviously dont have any stock of this dock and the price looks pretty high so I would wait until the beginning of December and see what amazon or ebay start offering.
Mark.
It does say "Note: temporary picture" ... We'll see.
it does say " Note: temporary picture."

Has anyone seen a dock which just charges the phone? I just want a charging dock, no multi media, no MHL. Thank you.
P.S. through microUSB, no the pins

Good point. Maybe that dock can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, like the Galaxy S II docks.
Anyone find it weird that the Galaxy Nexus has both a MHL port and the pogo pins? It's like they can't decide on how to dock the thing and threw in the kitchen sink. With the MHL/MicroUSB port you can get USB data, charging, HDMI output, and maybe analog audio too, so what's the use for the pogo pins? It just makes docking options more complicated...

MHL can't be used at the same time as USB as far as I know. When the MHL cable or adapter is attached the phone detects it and it switches over to MHL.

Yeah, it's either MHL or USB. But what's the point of the pogo pins? All they do is charge. The MHL port, regardless of whether it's in MHL mode or USB mode, still charges. You don't gain anything by using the pogo pins. It leaves the MHL/USB port open, but then if you want to use it, it's still only either MHL or USB.

Hope so. It's weird that there are no accessories for Galaxy Nexus. Usually, accessories are sold before the phone is sold.

Nice..i kinda wished it used the 3-pins on the sides instead tho. Imma still grab it once its available.
This is exaaaaaaactly what I have been looking for. I wonder if there will be a way to get a gnex with a case to fit in it...thats the pain with most docks, not case friendly . Any ideas?

You mean this dock?

But i dont think this has the right resistor in it to start the samsung dock app automaticly.
sync - yes | charge - yes | dock app - no

Yes, that's true.
A sync-function isn't included. If youwould like to sync the S3 with your PC you have to buy a 3rd party product.
... or use Airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
i hope they fix the ext SD card problem soon

The way I read it was that it doesn't come with any cables.
That is why the reviewer was unable to synch.
That's just my take. I have nothing to base it on other than three poorly worded reviews. Probably a bunch of Euro's who aren't 100% fluent with English.

I can confirm this dock does not sync no adb no nothing, only charging... I might crack it open sometime and take a peek, coz this sux

Well that's dumb, did they just not provide data pins only power?
DIY docks & hacking docks tripping dock mode & AC charging modehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754102
Tripping dock mode isn't hard, just a resistor in the right spot. Car dock mode is the same as the SGS1, Desk dock didn't work when I tried it, so either it changed or I was sloppy in testing. That resistor shouldn't interfere with data transfer & doesn't for sure on charging.

Hi, I opened the damned thing.in it is a PCB with the following pin assignment going out: V+, A/L, A/R, ID, SG and V- Can somebody tell me what to do with this? The microUSB from the original cable has only 4 contacs, the one in the desktop craddle ha 5. So, where would the synch-signal be sent. Because, connecting the original cable to the back of the craddle, takes the syncing off. So, the craddle cuts the syncing signal off, but how? And which pin could it have been?
Any idea??
Thank yoi in advance

I dont see why it wouldnt work. Just seems to use the micro usb port. I hope they make a samsung dock that includes an extra battery like they did with the gnex.

According to the Samsung Accessories page they have one
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T999MBATMB-accessories
Samsung Galaxy S® III Spare Battery Charging System
ETC-CP1G6LGSTA
but it doesn't look like it has a charging port for the phone and the spare battery..
$50 for a desktop dock or a car dock. That is outrageous for a piece of plastic.
I can't decide if I want to buy two docks or wait for an all-in-one option. I want something that will charge the phone, the battery, and have built in line out. Nothing I've seen has all three.
Maybe I'll wait till Jelly Bean comes out with play-through USB feature and just get a clock dock.

The Nexus 5 has a coil inside, so does the mount. They would have to line up when the phone is in the mount to pass the charge between the two.

If the coils don't match , I would plug the sticks at the bottom of the holder with something thicker that will raise the nexus up so it charges
