Hi
Does anyone know whether the Xoom Speaker Dock is compatible with the Xoom2?
Cheers
Matthew
It is not.
The ports will fit.
I tried it on my unaltered "standard" xoom dock. There isn't power to the usb jack though so it wont charge. I also got a pop-up message that said "this dock is incompatible with your device".
I tried my HD Dock for my OG Xoom, It didn't even register that I had placed it on a dock with this one like it did with the standard dock. So that means no app auto-launch and the speakers do not work with the Xyboard on HD Speaker Dock.

I was really hoping they'd come out with a car dock for the G2, similar to the N1. But they haven't. I know that the G2 doesn't have contacts along the side for this functionality, but I was thinking that the USB Micro's extra pin could be used to detect a dock. Does anyone know if there is an API call to read the pin or do an A/D on this pin or anything? I know this is how Motorola detected if their phones were connected to one of their chargers or not, so this isn't new or anything. Other manufacturers have done this also, but the hardware has to support it.
Interested in an official desktop dock and also an official car dock.
Anyone know if one is in the works for the DesireZ/G2? I have both for the NexusOne and its the only real thing that I'm missing since I got a DesireZ/G2
Motorola uses a magnet sensor in the back of the phone to tell if it is docked. Whether the dock is car or home is based on the polarity of the magnet.
Here's a post I just made in the accessories form about how I use a droid X car dock.

I agree, not nearly as elegant as the nexus one car dock, but it's a solution. Who knows if they will ever make a nice dock for the G2.
all of the car docks i have seen for non idevices have very short windshield mounts. are there any windshield car docks that have extensions to get them at least 4 inches long?
and if there aren't any, what tools would i need to use to modify a car dock from griffin that was made for the idevices?
How's this? I don't see any specs but it looks maybe about 4" judging from the scale of the screen size of the phone

Has anyone gotten the audio out functionality of the Samsung car dock working? It has a sticker over it stating that audio out will be enabled when 2.2 is released, but I was hoping some of the other 2.2 releases would have support for it now.
I have the oem car dock. Running nero v3 and I can't get it to work either. I can't understand what is missing from the custom 2.2 roms that wont allow this to work. It should be similar code that the tv out uses. Because the audio comes out of the mini usb port with the tv output also right?

Audio and video work with the TV out functionality when using a micro headphone jack to RCA cable. I tried it with a headphone jack to video/audio output cable that came with a old camcorder. Are you talking about a TV out cable that plugs into the micro-USB port, if so I have never seen one like that.
I have a ~$10 Chinese ebay car dock, and it works perfectly. Ive used it in a vw jetta, toyota sequoia, and a merc e350. no problems. I have an aux in wired to the phone, and power as well via a car charger. audio comes through speakers, and nero v4 has phone calls come through speakers too, and the phone is close enough that people can hear me even if a window is down.
will psot pics later if you want them

I bought the samsung car dock, and i can say that its pretty kick ass. Although its a little frustrating that the audio does not yet work for it, it still is a nice piece to have.
Unfortunately it does'nt seem like any devs have been looking into this. Perhaps its just not very popular yet, but Im keeping my figers crossed that sooner than later it will be sorted out. either by our great developers, or just the release of official 2.2

You could look into a Bracketron custom vehicle mount. It screws into your dashboard so you can add a more permenant mout. I bought one from Quadratec for my Jeep when I bought my G1. It is awesome!

I just ordered an oem car dock for my gf's Droid x and forgot to research if she will still be able to use the 3.5mm jack to stream Pandora to her car's stereo. I can't seem to find out on Google anyone know for sure?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yes, it's what I do and it works fine.
You can use Bluetooth, USB (which then also streams song info), or 3.5mm.
If its the official motorola dock then yes it should be fine. Mine even came with the cable to hook out up
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
yep, includes the cable, and the dock even routes the cable back behind the phone/dock so it's not just hanging around.
I got burned... The Amazon add had a picture of a Droid X oem mount, and what I got was a droid 1 A855 oem mount. Brand new none the less, but still not for her phone. I see that there piece that the phone attaches to the mount is a plate that slides into two t channels, is there anyway to order just the Droid X piece? Or will i have to get another mount? I'm gonna go to a Corporate Store next time, Amazon has burned me for the last time. I can't seem to find my conformation email, but i went to overstock's site and it seems as though they don't really do returns anyways.
Belkin Aircast Bluetooth Kit
If you don't have a bluetooth enabled car stereo this bluetooth kit may be useful for you. The kit comes with a 3.5mm connector you plug into your car stereo's auxilliary port and then pair with your Droid X and play mp3s or Pandora on the phone and hear it through your car's speakers. It also doubles as a hands-free phone kit so you can make calls and hear the other person on the car's speakers and the kit comes with a microphone that isolates your voice pretty well.
This kit made the car dock for my Droid X WAY more useful.

Car dock with case?
I got the Platinum case from bestbuy which I like so far, but the issue is that I can't find a car dock that fits the phone without taking the cover off.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks,
when/if you get the car mount be careful of phone temps. if she has gps running, music, and god knows whatever else and it's under the sun the phone will get very hot very fast... which can cause serious issues.

That is what I use mine for also, probably one of my favorite accessories.
i think it would be better you to visit amazon.com.It's a nice site and you can decide better.
Hi ppl,
I'm looking for a viable car dock solution. Ideally, it should pack both aux connectivity and charging.
Actually I found this Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Desktop Dock
which effectively charges the phone AND gives aux connectivity trough the USB port.
Of course it's not designed for a car, yet I think I could find a way to fix the dock to the dashboard.
Question is...
Will it hold the phone tightly enough to use it in a car in portrait/landscape mode ?
you mean the one that stands the phone portrait right?
it should hold just fine but you cant put it on landscape.. why would you use a desktop dock as a car dock anyway? i mean, its not meant for it..
car dock works better.. you could set it on both portrait or landscape..
aux output? buy a 3.5 to 3.5 jack and plug in to your head unit (if it has 3.5 aux input)
power? if your car have usb socket (for ipods, usb drive, etc) you can plug in your phones data cable to charge the phone..
use either:
blu-tack or
velcro + superglue

The official Samsung Car Dock has AUX out and USB Charging...
I bought yesterday this car dock from Samsung: Samsung Galaxy S2 ECS-V1A2
(sry cant post external link, cause im to new on this board ^^ )
Its perfect, strong hold on the window, but u can easy remove it. It charges the phone and has a aux out. It also let ur S2 turn into Car Mode when u dock it in.
The front from the car dock can be removed with the phone inside.
The desktop dock from ur first post is also for landscape mode, so u can lay the pohne on the side.
Hope i could help u.
Thank you all !
I didn't notice the official car holder has such a feature. I'll go for it !!
Im using the official car holder too. You really need two hands to get the s2 out of it. If you try it with one hand, it might also work, but no matter how much you have fastened the screw it will move.
The integrated aux input is not working properly. The audio signal is about 30% of the quality the headphone jack gives you. I recommend using Bluetooth or the headphone jack. Though, having such a port w'that is not useable is really annoying...
Why don't you use a car mount holder as a desk dock
Can the Samsung car dock accommodate phones with cases? Will the fit with say a TPU rubber case?
I got a xoom HD speaker dock and standard dock on clearance recently, hoping they would work in some fashion with my droid 4. They do not as power is not transmitted over USB. does anyone has any ideas on how I could modify them to work with my Droid 4?
I was hoping to get the speaker working, I would assume since the droid 4 vehicle mount will transmit audio over usb, that the xoom speaker dock would work. but in my test it did not.
Thanks in advance.
It isn't gonna work but there is a new kind of Motorola dock that should work with all of their "USB next to HDMI" devices.
