Based on the title and photo that looks like the Verizon version. So it does not have the gold pogo pins. It's a big piece of plastic with holes cut out so you can plug your individual cables into the phone (power/AUX).
If that's what you are looking for then go to town, otherwise you might be disappointed.

what?!!!!! Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But how do you know? it says its compatible with all models and he doesnt give any hint that the pogo pins are missing...

The Verizon one is confirmed to not have the pogo pins. Also look at the pics on the ebay listing. On the base of the mount there should be two connectors one for power and one for the audio but there isn't anything there.
Watch this video for reference: http://youtu.be/2w7TgFmP74I?hd=1

the base is different on that model. The one you want has a thinker base. It looks like its 3/4 in thick

No, its not available here yet and may never be.

I'm having a hard time believing that they would manufacture the phone with the contacts on the side and then not release any accessories that use them. Maybe Google will sell them.

Stranger things have happened.

I would hope they release one here in the states. I have heard conflicting stories on whether or not the charging GSM version will accomodate the LTE GNex. Any one know for sure?

My Nexus One accessories took weeks to months before they were available. I guess they want to give 3rd party manufacturers a chance to sell their knock offs.
The Ebay description does say, "The Vehicle Navigation Mount automatically puts your Galaxy Nexus handset in Vehicle Mode when docked." It might be legit.

Vehicle mode only means that it will activate the car dock screen, or at least that is what it has done on my other phones. This doesn't really mean that it will have the charging pins though. After reading the description of the dock on Ebay I came to the conclusion it is like the current Verizon model and does not charge or have audio hook ups. It says something to the effect of "has cut-outs in the plastic so you can still plug in your USB cable to charge the device". I have no doubt that it is legit, it's just not the legit charging/audio dock.

Legit or not legit, the GSM car dock with the 3-pin connector isn't available as of yet. The few websites that have offered them show a pre-order status so there is no way to check for sure.
The Official US Samsung Car Dock (i525) part number is:
ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
The (Supposedly)Official UK Samsung Car Dock (i9250) part number is:
ECS-K1F2BEGSTD

I looked at that mount. Verizon had a universal on in the store that can work with my Defender case still on, so I went with that. It was only 19.99 plus I got 25% off.

Correct the Galaxy Nexus does not have car home. But interestingly enough my Nexus S got the Google update to ICS 4.0.3 and it does have car home on it.

I hope you read the entire ad before you cleared the checkout...
"Please note, this dock does not have a built-in charging port. However, it does have all the perfect cutouts on the actual cradle that will allow you to easily plug in your charging cable directly into the phone, and also designed to allow easy access to all of the side buttons and ports on your device. "
It's the same as the one Verizon has at the stores, he's only charging ten dollars more.

the verizon phone does have the 3 pins.. also.. does this mount use those?

Is this what we are looking for?

The Limb.al cable (Sweet USB cable with multiple uses)

Just saw this one Kickstarter. Think its going to be a hit. Im def signing up for this one. Will make for a nice car charger for me.

I like it. I agree it'll be great for the car.

Interesting, but micro usb ports are flimsy as it is.

No way that thing will hold a Galaxy Nexus securely. The USB port on the phone is already a very weak connection. Not to mention, that thing will probably destroy your port even more than it might already be.

This would actually be great. Might have to put some money towards it.

i'm much more interested in the software that lets you use your phone as a display.

He didn't say it wasn't possible, just that it's going to wreck the micro-usb port, which it most likely will.

Using the micro-usb to hold up the phone on its own weight? You’re asking to break the port and possibly ruin the phone.
no thanks

I dont think there should be any issues with this as long as you are careful when first putting it in the micro slot. Just like with a dock or regular charging cable, if you jam it in there, its going to cause havoc. And if it does break it, my phone is under a yr warranty so I wont mind. I think this is going to be a great product. I will write a review once they are shipped in Sept.

I thought about getting one for the car, but then I thought what would happen at a hard braking situation... I'll pass.

Monster Watts Wireless Charging Kits for Gs3

Just found this as i was reading on the wireless charging the new S4 is supposed to get...
Apparently this company as of today is selling three options for wireless chargers for the gs3.

for 45$ ill give it a try and i get to keep my otterbox...

Very cool. I wonder what the charging pad looks like.
Also, while this will fit under your otterbox I don't know if it will actually charge it through it. Worth the $45 though!

for 45$ and a drop in solution i am willing to try and test it...

This looks like a damn good price tbh. $68 for a receiver and charger is cheaper than any qi combo that I know of currently.
The bonus is that it's also Qi technology so even if you change your s3 out, you should be able to get another phone that has qi tech in it or even modify that charging pad to work on other electronic devices (with some copper tape/wire)

Thats exactly what i was thinking.. The odd fact that i just so happend to find this today and apparently it just went live today i am pretty excited to snag it at this price.
But As im sure the capabilities to wirelessly charge are inevitably going to be included in future phones it isnt like this tech is likely going to be easily replaced. And it also seems like Samsung is going to abandon using our phones tech as wireless charging.. or at least thats what i gathered from thsi article..
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/11/samsung_s4/

the thing w/ samsung and wireless charging is that they really have no idea who the hell they're really going to back. Yes, Samsung co-founded A4WP, but they're also member of Qi's group as well.
To me, it just looks like they're sitting on the fence and waiting to see who will come out as the standard before going all in. I also don't think Samsung will build it into the phone itself due to its current ambivalence on the 2 standards and most likely leave it open like the s3 and note 2.
While the article talks about a4wp having a few cm of range, he also did not mention that a newer revision of Qi offers up to 4cm of range as well (last I checked).
I don't care much for too much range for wireless charging, just enough so that any non-ferrous case will charge regardless of thickness. I have a Qi set and it has so far worked with the ballisitc SG (although it Can get picky, but that's due to the fact that I also modified the charger to be at a 45 degree angle and the case's bottom lip [on the hard plastic side] curved up a little for no reason)

Right that much i understand...
I was holding out for the wireless charging where i didnt need to have it directly on the base. and every few months i search around for a viable option.
So far, since my free time is limited, this seems like the best all in one solution that doesnt require me to change my case, and its a good price.

The stealth one, and the one built into a battery cover can be found on a different site for only about $15.

this one comes with a charger as well.. which would cost 50-60 usd more. so it's a good deal.

Well.. I bought mine for $47.90 with the charger and receiver, so if your willing to spend just another $2 then you can get that with less of the wait.

i got it. i know i could make a set with the palm pixie stuff, i priced it out on amazon and total with a charging dock its like 20$... but i dont have the time to. im only actually home about 3 days a month. id rather be lazy..

Just an FYI i got my wireless charging kit from this company and it works great. Its a small device that attaches to the back of the stock battery. Its very small and it fits perfectly, very small buldge from the device but the back case fits on fine and my otterbox fits it perfectly.
the best part, it works with the stock otterbox. there were no issues with wireless charging whatsoever.

How is this one any different than any of the other wireless IQ receiver pads & chargers for the s3?

That it works with all variants, doesnt require you to change out your battery door, although they offer a solution for it, and its pad and reciever for 40$

Docking Station

Hi,
so soon my nexus will be here and after over 6 years with iPhone I'm moving to try android.
one think i always loved about my iphone is the docking station, makes life better and easier.
now with the iphone its very easy to find docking station that fit 100% right, and then i dont have to worry about damage to the charging port, the phone is held up very tight and i never had any problem.
on the android camp its harder to find phone specific accessories so heres what i manage to find:
im looking for a cheap solution but can pay a little more if its really worth it
cheap:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-D...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2ecab22c6d
expensive:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-M...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item43c158ab0c
the expensive one at least comes with a cable, and heres a video i found that shows that this product might be a better choice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTyGmNTh6iA
i just dont want the device to wobble freely hanging only by the usb connector.
i also hear that micro usb is much weaker then apple connectors so im a bit worried.
any1 have any experince with such products? what do u think? am i risking damage to my usb port? thanks.

IMHO ... yes, you are risking damaging the port. I personally wouldn't even consider using one as I've gone through a bunch of phones that the Micro-USB eventually stopped working properly. The Nexus one was notorious for that problem as have been quite a few other devices. Micro-USB just doesn't hold up over time.
Now, back to your problem. One thing the Nexus 5 has over the iPhone is Qi Wireless charging. So, might I suggest stop thinking in terms of how you would plugin in your iPhone to charge it, and to sync it with iTunes. All of this can be done using apps that sync wirelessly (iSyncr etc) and a good Qi charger.
Here's a good starting point for a "dock" like standing position while your N5 charges:
http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-DT910-Wireless-Charging-Stand/dp/B00A3NCC8M

It's important for you to note the orientation of the Micro USB port on the phone. On nexus devices reversed compared to the samsung phones those docks are for. I own the dock on the first link. It will not work with the Nexus.
You need one that's pin-side facing you. Unless you want the phone facing away from you
It's an annoying aspect of the Micro USB standard -- when it comes to direction, there is no standard.
DIY: Not ideal because it doesn't LOOK great but does WORK great. I bought the dock from that first link for my S3 and because of its 'universal'ness it was extremely wobbly, putting much undue strain on the port. I stuck a couple wads of Sugru down on the dock and behind the connector (where the phones back would rest) and stuck my phone in. When it dried after 30 minutes I had a perfect custom fit. Looked like **** though. Function over form in this case.

this...
but this is also a relatively new thing as the Nexus 4 was the "standard" way that everyone is used to (small side up where the Nexus 5 flipped it to small side down)

For charging, I would recomend the Google's wireless charger: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_Wireless_Charger?id=nexus_wireless_charger. As for syncing, what kind of things are you going to sync from your computer to your phone? On the android side the majority of things can/are synced over wifi or cloud services.

Thanks for all the answers...
I didn't think about orientation lol, i forgot about this issue.. so docking stations seems meh ATM
about wireless chargers... quite expensive IMO and i always fear that since the phone is not being held tightly it might fall and break.
i put my phone on a nightstand near my bed so accidents in the dark could happen, and i also like it when the phone is standing so i can see the screen without picking it up.
so that limits the range of wireless chargers i can use.
syncing is not a problem btw.
good thing i asked here.. i almost bought one of those. i guess ill try to find wireless one that suites me.
thanks again!

Off-Topic, General Discussions etc etc

There aren't a lot of us in here, but I'm kinda starting to see some off-topic posts scattered about. Not many
However why not have a thread with random, general HTC, U12 comments.
If something can be answered maybe someone will show you the way to the correct thread or help you start a new one in the proper section.

I'll start it off...
I like this phone, its pretty great. Others might disagree. I did my research before ordering the phone and I guess I had a better understanding of what I was getting myself into.
One thing I need some getting used to is unlocking the phone. As weird as that sounds coming from an iPhone X where I just stared it down until it unlocked. Fingerprint needs some getting used to.
Also not surprised to see the continued negativity from news outlets. Yea HTC is going thru some rougher waters, but lets give them some hope. Continuing to beat them while there down is just pathetic. I guess bad unpopular websites or those seeing less clicks are clamoring to get some peoples attention. HTC being their ad revenue

Just some snap and shoot pics I took...

Thanks for this post buddy. I've been getting attacked for defending this phone and probably deserved cause I have been a tad bit aggressive but it seems a lot of the negative comments in these threads are coming from people who don't even own the phone. This phone is fantastic and it does not deserve the negativity it is getting. So yeah for me it is frustrating to watch. It's like bandwagon jumping. And they want to keep on and on and on to the point where it looks like they want to convince others how bad this phone is.
And I will go even further to say that some people actually wish they had this phone but can't. I know it makes the negative people mad but it is what it is. If they don't like the phone they don't have to buy it.

--rant begin--
I don't care about those opinions anymore. The phone's just perfect for me and whoever else doesn't like it can go off to whatever phones forum they're praising so much. Probably just jealous how amazing the design is.
Anyways I'm looking forward to Android Pie. HTC has done a fairly decent job in the past with releasing major Android updates for flagships.
A redesign of sense would be a nice thing to see. Even maybe some additional control. I'm a stickler for a clean UI and some of the persistent status bar icons that can only be snoozed ie BOOMSOUND. I get it, it's a quick toggle to switch between theater and music mode. Just get rid of it and add it as a quick settings toggle. The constant icon and banner is annoying to me.
Also they should add HTC Music app to the play store so if someone wanted it. They could easily download it. Since it's such a popular app to sideload around HTC forums.
Another thing... Apple sucks when it comes to the Android version of Apple Music. I had an iPhone for a while and still have a Mac. I have a very extensive music library. The Android app is just so sad. For a company previously known for its attention to detail. The app crashes all the time and playlist that's been downloaded/cached to my phone randomly stops playing if disconnect from wifi or go into a bad coverage area. The UI is not fluid at all. It just gives the impression of it being slapped together at the last second and it's been out long enough to see significant improvements.

Sorry if you tried this already. Is this issue with the same cable? Are the cable OEM cables or third-party?
I have a cheap third-party USB-C cable that one side clips on just fine but if I flip it around the cable comes off easily. While the Anker cables I have fit just fine with no issues
With micro USB the clips that lock cables in place where on the cables not the phone port. With USB-C I don't know where the cable actually clips to.

I just realized that it's the same thing on my nintendo switch and it's a usb-c. So.. is fine!
Have you a quick charge 4.0 ? Which one do you advise me? The USB-C cables you can keep the same? or not?

Hi i will ask.. my port usb-c is loose when i plug a usb cable on my brand new htc 12. Same thing on my HTC 10 and same thing in the S9 of my friend.. Note: No problem with this to work. After a little search on google it's normal the usb-c is loose. The old micro usb plug do not do that.

It's actually the opposite for me. I haven't had any issues with USB-C but always had issues with micro USB. They always wore out quick and HTC doesn't even sell their OEM micro USB cables anymore.
You can claim your charger and cable on warranty but they are on backorder right now.

Would anyone be willing to pledge donations to a great dev who is well on his way with a great ROM? He may be releasing the first RC in a few days but this poor fella is working hard without even owning the HTC U12+. I say we pledge money until we reach the goal and order this bad boy for him.
Amazon should have a pledge service just for this very reason. What say you?

No need to change the charger for that!
Have you a quick charger 4.0 ? Not many charger are available i can see... Why that ?
Any reviews?

I haven't seen a QC 4.0 adapter. I'd guess it's because it isn't a huge upgrade from 3.0. Most decent QC 3.0 chargers had Power Delivery added by the manufacturer. Other than that I don't see anything that much different from 3.0
Always get a cable that meets the power required based on your hardware. Also too achieve the full support make sure it's a USB-C 3.0/3.1 rated cable. There are USB-C cables that are only USB 2.0. Some may support PD most dont.. Just read the specs for it.
For my MacBook I use an Anker Cable that's rated with Power Delivery and support up to 45W. It's DATA speed is 2.0 because it's main purpose is power not speed.
Aukey and Anker make great cables for a great price. Cheap cables from obscure companies you should avoid. They're dirt cheap because they're low quality products and prob cut corners in it's design and manufacturing.

I may be interested in pitching in a bit. I just picked up a U12+ off of Swappa. Going to see how it goes for a few weeks. I need good strong signal for tons of voice calls, and hopefully it's using SCA Carrier aggregation or MIMO to optimize network speed.

There is a lot of clutter. Even worse when connected to Android auto and God forbid you get text or missed calls. I'm sure most of them could've been turned off or snoozed.
However, REALLY!? Come on

Ordered the U12+ online today.
Got e-mail notification that they shipped.
Now begins the waiting game.
I have been refreshing the courier page every 30 mins. I wish they updated more (>.<)"

Weird issue all of a sudden. Edge sense & buttons had become unresponsive (no phone case). First noticed it while in bootloader. Persistent thru out Download, Recovery, and after Android booted up.
Had just flashed magisk (17100) and the TWRP installer 3.2.3-1.
They become functional again for a bit then sieze up again.
Debating RUU and seeing reflashing back to stick fixes it
