Anyone get the Multimedia Dock? Questions here

Does the multimedia dock have a speaker? I ask because my Droid X alarm is really low volume (was late today) so I was wondering if the Multimedia Dock has a speaker to increase the volume of the device while attached?

I used it for a few days but mostly just charging my phone and ease of bedside and there was no speaker.

does it have a 3.5 audio jack out?
i've looked for pictures and i can't find much. i thought i saw a shot that showed the HDMI connection was a normal sized one so it acts as a convertor from mini to normal.
fedex just left a door tag! it could be here today!!!!

micro HDMI. not mini.
and it has the same size HDMI plug as the phone itself. and lacks a 3.5MM headphone jack.
the only benefits you get are
1)it looks good.
2)it automatically puts the phone in 'dock mode'
3)it charges the phone
4)it looks good.
i really wish it had the same capabilities as the dock for the Nexus One.
A2DP bluetooth was fantastic. as was being able to remove the phone from the dock without having to hold the dock down.

So I got my dock today and the build is quite nice! As other posters have said it serves no purpose other than charging and is great as an alarm clock! I also got the hdmi cable with it. My question is, what can I stream to my tv? I know I can do photos and any video I capture with the phone. Can you stream movies? If so how and in what format?

Sadly, no you can't. As of right now you can only stream movies and pictures you've shot yourself. Unless you put a downloaded movie and put it on your phone (But that would be illegal ) You can't even stream blockbuster movies you've purchased/rented. Maybe Moto will fix this in an update or something.

I got the multimedia dock for my office, but I am not using it anymore since I got the Seidio Rugged case. I am just past the 30 day return window so I can't return it. If anyone is interested in buying it let me know.

The designer was soo dumb.
Imagine how cool could a landscape dock look like, it could work as a nght clock too.

I have one of the docks. It is stupid that you have to plug in the phone manually, but for now I guess its the best we can get. The blue LED is a bit of a problem when you're using the phone and dock as a bedside clock.
Also, if you get the dog, turn the phone into a fancy clock with LightningBug app. It's like one of those mood things that plays sounds and visuals to calm you down or make you sleep. Looks awesome in the dock, like some super high tech alarm clock.

I suppose the big problem with gettin a dock is that the usb is in the side of the phone so it have to have a rotating holder too.

Has anyone seen a landscape dock for the phone? I cant see the point of a dock that you still have to plug a cable into!

I agree, you want it to be simple and not have to struggle with a cable if you want to dock your phone, so, does anyone know a docking station that does not require a cable?

Ok i found a landscape dock for Blackberry Storm 2, which is ALMOST same size, but the position of the usb can be incorrect. I dont have 20$ to try, if somebody would like, here : http://shop.crackberry.com/blackberry-charging-pod/5A100A5980.htm

They failed bigtime on this! How hard would it be to make one... I thought that someone in hong kong would be banging out loads of these.

I`ve ordered from DX before, they are great, albeit slow delivery on the free shipping (faster on the paid options)

http://www.dealextreme.com/photogallery.dx/sku.54443~seQ.2
This Desire Z dock would almost be perfect if it weren't for the fact that the mini port is located futher back on the Desire Z rather than dead-center like it is on the Wildfire. It may fit with a bit of sanding but I wouldn't give it any hope if you have a bulky case on the phone.
There must be something out there that fits or is bigger.
Bigger isn't really a problem as any space between the connector and the backwall can be padded out (I would actually prefer it to be too big as that gives more flexibility with fitting 3rd-party cases) and who really cares if the dock is too long or if the front of the phone overhangs the front of the dock a little?
As long as the phone sits securely and is easy to drop on and lift off, I'd be happy.

I think i saw one nice dock for WF at play.com, check there if ur from european country.

i think if you go into the clock app then the alarm and press menu, settings are available to change the colour of the led for bedside mode.

to OP this is nice finding. MobileCity in NYC has had one with same title for along time but no picture, at least now I know this is not for me.
I wish the would design something that you could attach to your phone and use as night stand. something like the one they did to Xperia play stand.

Weak sauce, they could at least release something with a micro USB plug. It's their flagship phone, they should show some love.
Well, there is some hope:

My answer is simple... no!
It "must" be "iphone simple". Just plug it in, not connect this usb first and then this earplug and hey, dont forget the HDMI and so on.
Just a simple cradle to dock and "all is connected".

Unfortunately these little companies producing these product are no professional designer and mostly do some copycat.
You best bet is to wait for SE release of a better product and I am yet to see any good third party company with decent quality/design product for SE stuff.
It sucks, but that is the only way for now.

While I still go with my statment above but this one is better since the usb is sticking out.
This is more what I am looking @...thought to share it in case anyone else wants one.

How do these compare to the HTC official speaker dock? As they can be had for around £41 if they are similar in terms of sound quality it might be better to get the official one for the pogo pin charging?

Give me half an hour and I'll post up pictures and a short video :good:

It's fine, just remember it's not a dock so it won't sync with anything. It plays music via Bluetooth, has a night light as well and charges phone when connected to dock.
As it's Bluetooth you can connect any Bluetooth device and stream your music, it's loud and sounds good for a mono speaker. Better than on board speaker. I do have a video but my upload speed is poor!
The Philips app is useless so I just connect straight via Bluetooth. I use it at night to charge my phone and as an alarm clock.
For the price it is really good, I was surprised by the sound it produces.

Ive done a little video for YouTube - please dont think i'm stealing any thunder here as thats the last thing on my mind.
However i do want to say a massive thankyou to mugglesquop for revealing this in the first place.
This has the benefit over the other Speaker Dock 'cr s650' in so far as the Philips can bu used with a multitude of phones now and in the future - as long as they have the mini usb ports on them.
Where as only the HTC one X will work with the 650 because of the pogo pins placement and if you upgrade your phone in the future unless its got the exact same layout as the HTC one X then the 650 will be redundant - the Philips though should be better value as even if you upgrade in the future the chances of your new device having a mini usb is high (higher than having the perfect placement of pogo pins i reckon).
EDIT - on a side note when i dock my HTC onto the Philips i have to remove my phone case as the charging port in the Philips wont quite fit snuggly enough to charge.
Soooooo anyone know of any decent gel, silicone, other HTC one X cases that are very thin (but offer protection) that would allow a fit that is more flush with mini usb chargers - thus charging my phone.
I have a MHL adaptor for my TV and on this too i have to remove my phone case otherwise the USB wont fit into my phone quite right - Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks for any suggestions

Excellent video mate I was having troubles capturing the volume but it is loud.
As for case I use a Tourmate case from obostore and it fits with it on, it is similar to the Rock sand cases which are popular.
For the price it's a decent little driver.

Alright mate, quick question. Did you manage to get the dock extension (little plastic thing) to fit properly over the usb so it was flush? I just got mine today but for some reason the dock extension doesn't go down low enough so the phone won't plug in properly, seems to be getting stuck on the little cogs used to raise and lower the height adjusters, would you mine uploading a pic of it?
Cheers
Daven

@daven
The cogs have got to be wound all the way to the bottom - the little attachment will only fit on the usb section in one way i believe - it goes on about 3/4 of the way and the last bit needs to be pushed with a little force to snap it into place.

Ahh thanks, I got it after applying a bit of force. I was worried about breaking it. Nice youtube video, the dock is brilliant, I've found it to work really well with the sony smart connect app (which I also use for my nfc tags). I've set it up to automatically bluetooth connect to the dock and launch dock mode when the phone is docked, and then play music for an hour when I wake up in morning. Sound quality is surprisingly impressive for something so small.
How did you find the official app for it? I found it to be a bit too cumbersome, so just uninstalled it.

I've frozen songbird and Fidelio using titanium back up and i'm manually turning on bluetooth on the HTC one X and using Power AMP as my music player. :good:
I thought for the first day that i was tied to just using the Songbird/Fidelio combo so went with this. :silly:
Came home from work today and started up Power AMP instead and it works brilliantly, you can even change the graphic equaliser and the Philips Dock adjusts too - perhaps this is a feature of all docks,im not sure as this is my first
Im trying to set up something with 'Tasker' at the moment to get the most out of the Dock, though i have got NFC tags too so might have a play later and see what i can come up with

Just purchased one of the Rock Quicksand cases as its very thin but theres still no way it will dock properly to the speaker dock and charge, even after pushing fairly firmly it wont click in so instead ive removed the little plastic adapter that clicks on the USB and now my phone sits just nicely.
Incidentally i tried to sit the HTC One X onto the USB without its plastic adapter but leaving an ordinary gel case on the phone but that wouldnt work so my best bet is to use the Rock case and remove the plastic adapter off the speaker dock.

I had the same issue if you have case on the phone take the case off and try to see if it works. I put the phone in the dock with case on nothing no car mode or charging, took the case off and goes to dock mode and it charges. Just a thought.

I tried that. Called tech support and they had me do the same thing. No luck. Thank you

did your $40 car dock come in scratched all to hell like mine did?

So...story continues. Griffin is out of docks, but sent it back so I can work with Motorola. Griffin ran a test and reported it had reversed polarity?! Motorola...very difficult to work with...depends in who you talk to. When I finally got the right person they sent me an expedited replacement. Received today...DOESNT WORK EITHER! Double checked with no case. Plugged in a charger...phone received charge. Tried with my wife's MotoX...still nothing. Called Motorola first this time...talked to 2 people explained story twice...'we'll send you a new dock when we receive the broken docks'...no way! Demanded expedited shipping AND send before you receive...we'll see. Got a call back...I think it was someone from original call...told him the story too...said he would call me back tonight about next day air...no call...more drama later

These docks are really not impressive. Mine rarely goes into car mode and charges only after pushing and jiggling the usb connector.

How exactly does the phone know to go into car mode? Is there a chip in the dock or does the phone detect something else that puts it into car mode?

no they really are not. mine also rarely goes into car mode. sometimes i get car mode and then it immediately goes into daydream. and then both turn off. but i also think its a coding issue on motos side. cause when docked on the coffee table. if you use the phone and dont redock it... daydream does not come back.

its more along the lines of this reply here. i saw a nexus otg thread somewheres and it was mentioned that the diode or resistor that you use will also put the phone into car mode. or if you put it on a different wire etc. something along those lines.

Yes the car dock isn't too impressive. Mine broke after 4 days! Now I have to wait for more to get back in stock to get a replacement. I also had occasional issue of not charging and having to wiggle charging port

I have also ordered one and probably will get it by tomorrow....hoping for the best to get and will also put up the pics and review after receiving it...because I m confused a bit over the reviews of it as some people says its quite impressive one and some says its not...so I will personally put review of it after experiencing this dock on my phone....

Haven't seen one person say the car dock was impressive. Best I've seen people say is that it's a dock
