[Q] Arc Dock

I was looking through the system dump, and i found in the system/media/audio/ui folder there are two sound files for dock and undock.
My question is are these default 2.3 (gingerbread) files or dose it mean sony are going to release some kind of dock for the arc

There is a dock for the Play, it's either a shared part of the firmware or SE plans to release a dock for the Arc.

Oh ok thanks for the info, hopefully there will be a dock for this phone.

Could be from Android. There are dock and undock sounds on the Nexus One with my original "Google Desktop Dock". It's nice, it uses the friction-less contacts on the bottom. No "insert micro usb"-nonsense.
A dock for the Arc would be possible, a horizontal one that connects to the USB. Probably not from SE, but a third party producer will have one out in no time.

I'm not sure there will be a dock you can just drop the Arc into - the design really doesn't lend itself to being docked.
For example when I use the Arc in landscape mode, I do so with the buttons on the right - and I'd imagine most right-handed people do so as well.
A dock would have the buttons on the left, so 'the wrong way' as it were.

Yeah, but not a deal-breaker. On the N1, I set it up to automatically launch the clock when you connect the charger. It shows the clock with todays weather and goes into a very dim simple clock after a while. Perfect for having on the nightstand. It works in all directions so "the wrong way landscape" won't be that much of an issue.

im hoping theres a dock soon, even a third party one with no special features. Its something ive been missing since I dumped my desire

There are some third party docks on ebay but I bought one before for my x10 and they have no design and just a dock which I found it really crappy.

Yeah, the ones on Ebay now are more holders with a chargecable attached:

Let's hope some better designs come out later.

im surprised manufacturers havent jumped on it. It would be a similar design as the play but without the 3.5mm stero jack

Uhhh... the micro USB port for charging is on the top right side of the phone and the dock holds the bottom. That means the dock only serves the purpose to hold the phone, but not charing it?

Yeah, as I said: It's a holder with a charge-cable attached. You put the phone in the dock, then take the curly-wire and connect to you phone for charging.

I got this one from www.amazon.co.uk - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0046B7BTM/ref=oss_product
Works really well with the arc naked and also with a hard gel case. Not so well with the soft rubber cases on it though.
Speaking of which I have two gel cases spare, one clear and one black if anyone wants them then PM me.

Nope, it's like the one I liked. You could fold where the base connects to the middle. It's made of metal also, but thanks though.
The phone can either sit horizontal or vertical. The reason why I'm looking for one is because once I get a case. I prefer not to take off the case when I have to plug in.

Looks too big to hold the SGSII in portrait orientation.
I just got this one, which is a battery charger that doubles as a stand. Cheap and it is an original Samsung accessory too!

The one that I got does not charge the phone because I wanted to be able to use it in the landscape orientation as well. There is a version that charges but you can only stand the phone in portrait orientation for obvious reasons. Pic below from Clove.

Well if you just want a basic stand, there is an Otterbox stand but Im not sure if they sell it retail. I got one at Showstoppers during MWC. Will try and find a link

Samsung® Epic 4G Standard Battery with Charging Carrier

So I had this accessory from when I had my Samsung Epic 4G ( the D700 ) and it never really worked well as a stand for it... ive switched to several different phones since then and just kind of shoved it in the center console in my car.
Today I picked up the Samsung Epic 4G Touch ( D710 ) and popped the back door off and noticed that the battery, although slightly thicker due to the mAh gain, remains the same shape and relatively the same size. So i ran out to my car and grabbed the old accessory that i had cast away. Turns out it works better than anything i have seen as a stand for it.
I have some pictures to go along with this but the phone goes in horizontally ( it angles it perfectly for watching videos ) and does not move around at all. it leaves the volume rocker open on the top ( or bottom depending which way you put it in ) and doesn't obstruct any of the screen. Right now i have the phone plugged into the pc while streaming pandora to my speakers through the 3.5mm jack while it rests peacefully in the stand.
Here is a skydrive album i made:

Dang it. Wish I'd found that before I bought the whole kit for $27.99. Oh well, I needed an extra battery anyway.

Can you tell me if it needs a standard, mini, or micro usb power supply? The same as our phone I'd assume.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

so how does the 1500mah battery compare to the 1800mah? will i notice a big difference?

Thanks for the head up on the amazon one. I bought another one, so one for the office and one for home. I dislike being tied to a cord to charge my phone.

Great find!!!! I think ill go buy one from sprint!! Also the Infuse 4g From ATT dock works awesome too i bought one the day the S2 4gt came out and love it ill post some pics when i get home if anyone wants pics I got it for 39.99 you should check it out if anyone wants a desktop dock

Haha, I can't unsee that. I might be inclined to get one for this very reason, but I like having the cable closer to my ear, and the phone move less, especially when running. My forearms move much more than my upper arm, and I usually listen to mixes/playlists and rarely have to toggle things on the phone.

EverDock
There is a company called EverDock that was on KickStarter, it features a DOCK where you can switch the plug from forward or reverse, plus you can either use it for Iphone, Ipad, Android Mini USB. There is also a dock they sell that allows two devices to be charged at one time. Here is a link

Any docks made specifically for OPO?
That would be awesome. Been looking for that.
An ideal one would be made out of bamboo, and with bamboo back cover...

I really dunno if this works, but I found a suggestion in another forum: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/ there I was told this works with the OPO, too.

That one breaks really easily. I've gone through 2 already (removing the phone from the dock eventually breaks the pegs that holds the cable in place).

Can you tell me what exactly breaks on this docking station? which pegs? why at the cable? the cable is on the backside, how does something break there when the phone is being removed?

BTW, stations for the HTC One M8 should be compatible I was told. Has anyone experiences with this?
could this be an alternative?
http://www.amazon.de/Emartbuy®-Funktion-kompatibel-Docking-Ladegerät/dp/B00KC0X98I
or such a universal usb docking station - as long as the usb plug has the right direction?
like http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00JFLV3KG/ref=nosim/andrhilfdeand-21 or http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Do...e-Nexus-5-HTC-Desire-S-Desire-Z-/400802464581
Or is there more to watch out like angle of the plug or the distance to the backside?

it looks like the one from above: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JGRIKOQ/
but I am not sure: where does the phone have íts secure stand? Is the phone held by the usb connector only? My last shown examples above have a higher back, which can hold the phone very secure and protect the usb connector against the pressure when using the phone in the dock.

Check out the Lambda-Dock. The connector can be turned and its produced in germany...
