Does any one have a dock for the note?
Did you get it off ebay? (Here for example)
I want to get one - but really only if it put the note into dock mode. I like to use it as a night stand clock.
If these dont work to put the phone into dock mode - does any one have a suggestion of what dock will? except the 80$ one from samsung.
You might wanna check "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 I9220 SGH-I717 Multimedia Desktop Dock EDD-D1E1BEGSTA". You can find it on the eBay.
(Im a new user so cant give you a direct link)
You can also find "Genuine Samsung Galaxy NOTE Desk Charge Dock N7000 EDD-D1E1BEG Desktop Cradle !" for 60' ish $
I checked and you can get the cheap on from amazon for like 25$. I think I am going to do that unless someone has any suggestions.
Does anyone know what puts the phone into dock mode? I'd like to build my own landscape dock and am curious about this.
I bought the Phillips AS351/37 fidelio docking speaker for android. It's on Amazon for $112 but I bought mine at Best Buy for $99. It's a dock/speaker system specifically for android phones....it holds my Tmobile Galaxy s2, Htc Sensation and my GNote....it has little wheels on the usb dock where you can adjust it to fit your phone or if you have the usb port on the side of the phone instead of the bottom. It works by bluetooth and the speaker quality, imo, is awesome! It says to download the fidelio app from the play store, you dont have to, I did and its not bad, it has clock mode, alarm mode, brightness settings along with weather forecast. It has radio stations and has the app "songbird"....you can find that in the play store as well. It's just a music app, its ok but I rather use the google play music app. All in all its one of my favorite docks, and I have a few. It doesnt automatically set off the dock mode but like I said, the fidelio app puts it in to dock mode. Phillips has a few different ones, one that has a built in alarm clock with digital display, one that is a round speaker with a nightlight...which is the one that i wanted but when I went to best buy to look at it the GNote overpowered it as the speaker isnt all that big. You can find all the Phillip android docks on amazon. Read the reviews....they have great reviews....I should have posted the link to the one I got, sorry, I'll repost with it.

What i did is a simple use of tasker to activate the clock dock screen when usb is charged. You can also improve it by detecting your home wifi SSID so that it only converts when you are at home. This saves you a ton of money with the cheaper docks. Hope it helps!
Forgot to mention that the fidelio dock I got has a USB port in the back to charge a second device.....which I find super helpful since I have 3 phones.

Looks slightly different to the one seen before on Samsung US site (oops was looking at S2 mount then)
Unfortunately it is not out till 1st Jan
still trying to figure out if youre able to access the power button on this. no one has been able to show it and its not visible in any images
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
looking at the images, it looks like there is a soft part of the dock where the power buttons are, so you might be able to push them through the dock. also, im very glad to see an aux out on the dock. Coming from the N1 dock that didn't have this, it will be a great addition.
Galaxy Note?!

Anyone have some experience with the Exomount Universal Car Mount? I've heard good things about it and it seems like a good deal.
The exomount looks quite nice, but I have just opted for a cheap ebay one which folds nice and compact for the glovebox. I don't mount my phone very often any more, only when I need a bit of sat-nav and I know my common routes pretty well.

I will let you know how well it performs when I get it.

Those were the exact two things that stuck out for me..

The aux out is AMAZING. I use a desktop dock and a Moshimoshi desktop phone that plugs into my N1. I have to plug it IN to the phone every time I put the phone into the dock, kind of obviating the purpose of a dock.
Totally thrilled about the pogo pins, surprised they figured out a way to carry audio through them AND power while still keeping them simple.

If it's anything like the Nexus one dock, audio is routed via Bluetooth. The 3 pogo-pins are (2) for power and the third transmits a simple code to tell the phone which dock it is in. When docked, Bluetooth is switched on, a new options page shows up in settings for audio routing. The night-stand clock is also automatically started (or car home if inserted in the car dock).
On another note, the desk and car docks for the nexus one were not available until several months after the phone came out. Surely the logistics of making these available at the same time are not that difficult.
-AS-
for £50 it should be made of carbon fibre or contain an independent battery.

Flexible width for side grip (Width :6 cm ~ 7 cm)
You better hope its 7.... Nexus width is 67.9mm
One "Universal" dock they tried to sell me in the shop didnt fit the GN... I made the sales man try it and he almost broke the dock trying to squeeze the GN in.
I can't find a horizontal desk dock for this phone anywhere... Am I not looking hard enough or does it just not exist?
The official dock works just fine horizontally. In fact I'm using it that way as I type this.
Does it stand upright when it's sideways? From the pics it looks like it is vertical only.

Upright, the dock only allows the phone to connect one way. It's just a matter of physically turning the OEM Samsung dock on it's side. That being said, no, the phone will be horizontal as well when you turn the dock on it's side. As long as you have "auto-rotate" enabled, your desk clock application should adjust accordingly I use Alarm Clock +.
I remember when I had a dock for my original GS, it had a dock app preinstalled on it and it would launch automatically when I docked it. Does this happen on GSII?
Yes, it will auto launch. However, that behavior can be changed in various ways if you want it to stay on homescreen when docking.
Edit:Some dock apps even give you options to launch other programs/tasks all together.
It also depends what ROM you are on. I'm on CM9. When I plug my phone in it goes to a desk clock display that auto-rotates based on the phone's orientation. I usually keep it vertical unless I'm watching a video in which case I just lay it on it's side.

Here is a pic I found of it in its horizontal orientation:

Okay, assuming that I'm on MIUI, i'm positive there is nothing built-in. I ordered the desk dock and the car dock together on amazon two days ago so they should be coming today.. My Mesmerize had a car dock mode and a desk dock mode. The car one had links to navigation/maps and such, and the desk one just had alarms and notes and a big clock. Is this achievable on this phone?

Indeed. I've been using both OEM Samsung docks since the SGSII D710 first came out, and used the older docks for the SGSI T959. Btw, CarHome Ultra is the ish!
How can I get them still?

The docks or apps? And what exact model of E4GT do you have?
Perhaps this is a thread better for Q&A, but I figure it is specifically about an accessory. As I've done searching through various gadget sites and Google I've yet to find an accessory for the SGSIII as below:
Coming from the Droid X, there existed a dock which when the DX was placed in it the phone would go into desktop dock mode. I forgot where I got mine. I think it was an ad on droid-life that I clicked through. I've seen that Samsung has a dock that charges the phone and is a multimedia dock, but it appears as if it holds the phone in portrait mode. Is there a dock that allows the phone to sit in a landscape position and have the screen show a clock, calender, etc.?
On another note, does anyone know if the SGSIII's dock is triggered via magnets as the DX was?

S3 does not trigger by magnets.
you have 2 options:
USB trigger, or NFC tag.
BUT samsung has a nice dock with multimedia out, and there are a couple aftermarket ones too... that i can't yet link to.
Hopefully they'll release a desktop dock with HDMI and USB OTG on it, in addition to a charger port. Would make a nice portable computer...
I wish I could put my DX into the "desktop dock" mode to snap a picture of it. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate with CM7 on it. Perhaps it was a Blur thing. I mainly wanted to have this big ass clock/calender/news ticker to sit on my desk. I sit on the corner of cube row so people probably would break their neck as they rounded the corner checking it out!
OK, here's my setup:
Note II VZW phone, completely stock (Go Launcher Ex installed)
CarHome Ultra App
iBolt xProDock Car Dock **
Samsung Galaxy Desktop Dock Station (recently RMA'd)
** I originally ordered the iBolt xProDock for my HTC Droid DNA, which came with the dock, HTC charging "arm" and 9ft USB cable. After having to switch phones to the Note II, iBolt was kind enough to send me the Samsung charging arm at no cost.
Disclosure: This is my first Samsung Android phone owned.
With my HTC phones, even the DNA, when I put the phone in a Car Dock, it would prompt to start the HTC Car Dock app (or in my case, a choice between HTC's and CarHome Ultra, which I would choose to always open CHU). If I put the phone in a "home/desktop" dock, it would ask if I wanted to start the "Desk Mode/Desk Clock" app.
With the Note II and the docks mentioned above, when I put it in the iBolt car dock, it prompts if I want to open CHU or Desk Clock. When I put the phone in the Samsung OEM Desktop Dock Station, it prompted the same thing. When I plug the phone into the Car Dock and choose CHU "Always," then when I put the phone in the Desktop Dock, it would start the CHU app. (Likewise, if I chose Desk Clock>Always for the Desktop dock, when placing the phone in the Car Dock it would start that app.)
Questions:
Does my Note II really not know the difference between docks?
Anyone know of stock settings for the Note II to get it to see the difference between the docks? (No, I don't want to mess around with NFC tags or Tasker programs if I can help it.)
Is there a Desktop Dock that will ask to start the Desk Clock app that isn't the OEM Samsung one? (The one I had for 2 days was very cheap and broke. VERY poor build quality, especially for what it cost me!)
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions/help.
I'd like to know this too. I have the Note 2 for Sprint, the iBolt car dock, and the Samsung Smart Dock. At the moment, it always opens CarHomeUltra in either dock. I'm guess I may have to make GentleAlarm or the Samsung like Dock Screen the default, and use NFC to force it for the car mode when I'm in there.
Wow, no answers or even additional "me too" complaints. I guess not many people use both a car and home dock. I want to use essentially the same setup as the OP but with a S4. My old Droid 3 (running Gingerbread) would nicely launch the appropriate dock app depending on the dock - Bedside for the home dock and Car Home Ultra for the (obviously ) car dock. My new S4 launches the same default app once it's chosen regardless of the dock. Seems like a huge step backwards.

Don't know but I'll tell you when I get mine. The pictures look like there is some wiggle room. Enough for me to give it a shot.

It does not fit my official extended battery cover with Diztronic cover. Thickness is not an issue but the male USB plug is too short to reach the jack. You all can have fun with that statement.
Any more updates on this dock?
I'm looking for something that will charge and put my phone into dock mode. I have a blue tooth connected speaker that I can play music out too.
Ideally I would prefer if the doc was horizontal so that I could watch video on it as well, but I haven't seen much available like that.

I'm interested in some updates on this as well. However I'd assume from seeing the low rating on Amazon that this isn't that good.
