Official Samsung Docks

They are now listed available to order and will ship in three days, 1/23.
http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Multimedia-Desktop-Dock-P182792877-P93055.htm
http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Vehicle-Navigation-Mount-P182792874-P93056.htm
They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.

The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.

The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...

Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.

I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.

Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.

Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.

but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.

Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find

The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port. Take a look here for all the official dock options which may or may not arrive. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/02/samsung-galaxy-nexus-docks-and-chargers-get-a-proper-fondling-prongs-put-to-use/#more-54594

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.

guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

Desktop charger for Galaxy Nexus (pics)

Bought an inexpensive desktop dock on Amazon for my Galaxy Nexus. Received it today.
*The Good:*
It was $20
Comes with a USB transfer cable as well as a 1.5A wall charger.
Removable inner casing to allow docking with a case on (at least in the description)
Spare battery charger port in back
*The Bad:*
Cannot dock my phone with either case on it. Must be naked.
Spare battery port does not work with Verizon battery
No audio port for 3.5mm out
If you have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, it is useful only as a desktop charging/syncing dock as long as you're not using a case.
For $20 it's fine, but I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't work with a case and that the spare battery slot is useless to me.
Anyway, here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Solutions-Battery-compatible/dp/B006O45K9C

Does it put your phone into dock mode?

No it doesn't.

to let people know, the battery slot will only charge the normal size GSM version battery, not extended one.

Thanks for posting this. I'm usually a no case guy so this sounds good. Unfortunately the plastic on this phone is too fragile and I've already damaged it, so I now have a case on.

While it doesn't, I'll be using some NFC stickers I picked up from tagstand.com to do this and a handful of other tasks via NFC Task Launcher and Tasker. Should be good fun.

It actually comes with two. One for "sync" (a standard usb cable) that is 4ft or so and another for just charging that's thinner and around 6ft. I've actually not used either and instead, just stuck with the cable that came with the device.

large cases for Atrix 4g and laptop and media dock issue resolved.

Hey guys....I was looking for an adapter or cables to be able to use my Ballistic case and dock at the same time and couldn't find anything. I saw on here the other day someone was also asking the same thing. But anyway I found a place called all4cellular and they have a upgrade cable kit for the docks that allow this. So now I can have any case I want and dock without having to remove the phone. Just thought I'd share what I just ordered.

Interesting. Some links to the product page(s) at all4celluar would be handy.

There's a link in another thread with these cables. They are charging $40 for them. IMO that's daylight robbery. They upped the price when they found they had a market for them. Can't link the thread atm, but its in accessories forum.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I paid 29 bucks....that is probably market for hdmi and a usb cable.

i would like to see companys figure out that yes we use cases and docks.

I found the product. It's way too expensive for a couple of wires, but here's the link:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/motorola-atrix-4g-upgrade-kit.html

Could these cables be used to connect 4g lapdock to a RAZR?

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Worth a try. I am just waiting for price drop or cheaper alternative to come up.

I was going to mention that there might be interest in these for those trying to connect the Atrix to the Lapdock 500. They've been looking for a cable set that would work.

I've also bought this two cables on e-bay from all4cellular (it was cheeper delivery from e-bay to Ukraine).
Both cables fit perfectly! They are 15cm. long. The problem of my large case was solved!

USB Dock Station for Galaxy Note for only $6.78 + Free Shipping

One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.

I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.

I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

I don't blame you.
But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

There are some docks now appearing which have removable rubber inserts which claim to accommodate the Note with a Gel/TPU case, e.g.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Desktop-C...-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i9220-AC32-/170817592805
Anybody tried one?

Thanks.
BTW I offered the seller 5.99 ea. for two,he gave me $6.49 for TWO.
So try offering him lower price. not a huge saving but hey dosent hurt to try!

Looks like .. let us know your review once you get it and i will give it a thought .. (am also in India)
Just read the description on the eBay page and looks like it ships only with the cradle and no cable included ...

MHL dont work!
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

I have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.

i like it, but can't buy, because i'm living in vn, so......

anything that is compatible with anything OTHER than the s3, is not compatible with the s3... without an adapter.

Sure. Then it looks like crap. (and there's no telling how far you can cut into the mhl adapter; they would've made it thinner if they could've)

Buy the real deal, unless you have an old MHL cable then I would just buy the 5-11 adapter.

The problem is that the adapter is too large to connect it with a case. It's a pain to remove the case every time i connect it to the TV. They made the adapter very large (it's the original adapter from samsung tough).
I'm thinking to cut the case and someane in this post said that it's possible to cut a little of the adapter. Anyone as experience with it?
