The feature is not yet stable and I don't think it's determined that it will work 100%. So buying anything specific does not grantee it will work.

I haven't tried Bluetooth yet, I can't find my Bluetooth USB dongle that I paid too much money for.
So is it even worth buying one yet

I just bought one for ten bux at frys. gonna try it later today hopefully.
I bought 5 of them online for about 4 bucks a piece. Took several weeks to get them. I got 5 because I figured I'd loose them and originally got them for my nexus.
i made mine but anything designed for the galaxy nexus seems to work.
I have all usb host working ie, flash drive, mouse/keyboard, (stick mount & powered hub) (when you mount flashdrive etc use a file explorer to locate it on your sdcard "usbstorage").
any tips on getting bluetooth activated as my dongle shows up in usb controller app but the BT toggle switch doesn't stay switched:-(

no probs, i'm off to bed so i'll do it in the morning.
it,s 1.18am here.
I'm also trying to incorporate a male & female stereo jack so i can use the headphone port at the same time (this will make it alot more rugged as well as it will have the two points of contact and not just the usb).
when I strip it back down tomorrow I will post a step by step guide with pic's.
the hardest part is stripping the back off the micro connector to expose pin 5. also I used a multi meter with sewing needles taped to the test leads to test it all out after the build. (I made a straight one first which is easier but puts strain on the usb port)imo.
once the headphone jack extension is finished I will put in a lever for the power button
hope this helps and happy stripping (watch those little fingers it's fiddly) lol
haha I know exactly what you mean, I sliced my finger this morning trying to peel back the micro USB plastic but anyways thanks, I really appreciate it that thing is awesome

Interesting. Conflicting reviews on whether or not you can charge and listen to music with it at the same time. I'll pick one up and give it a try next time I order from Amazon.

great keep me posted. I may do the same considering it's price, just figure i would ask for confirmation from other users first.
I have the top adapter. When I go to Fry's this weekend I'll pick up a mirco to mini adapter and a usb coupler and see if any combinations work with the TB.
I have it on order and will have it here by next week.

Its not necessary. you can access the cardock mode without having to use usb or any thing else. Using launcher pro or super manager, you can set up a shortcut to cardock mode.

I understand that and I have cyanogen mod which has the cardock app. I'm looking to make my own hardware cardock. I have seen people use USB and magnets and such on other phones but what I'm trying to attempt is to lose 1 cord hanging from the phone.
Is it possible to charge phone and play music out of just the micro USB port of the phone. I hate having wires running out of the top and side. Its a hassle to plug in two if I can do away with one.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
you'll have to find out what is triggering the phone to output analog audio over the USB lines. I'm assuming, there is a voltage put on pin5 of the USB (ID pin) telling the phone. "You are in a cardock. Load cardock application. Route analog audio to the USB pins". Again, I'm ASSuming it is using the data +/- lines as L/R audio outs.
I have 0 proof of any of this. Just as an EE, how I might do it. In short, it'll probably cost you more to build one, than to just buy the official on off ebay/amazon.
Also, since you're using Cyanogen, as am I -- with cardock and desktop dock, Cyanogen does NOT hve the ability to route audio through USB yet. You'll have to use the 3.5mm jack or bluetooth(?).
Ohhh that sucks... I'm sure cyanogenmod will fix that soon. Guess ill order the official. My main issue is I'm going to run this behind the dashboard so no hanging wires. Also not taking up my cigarette lighter. I didn't want to cut up the original cardock but I can manage. Thanks. Ill keep looking around.
It doesn't have to activate car dock to satisfy me but Audio out of USB is a must

Does the Motorola atrix car dock only plug into the USB port of the phone or does it use the HDMI port as well?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Only the USB not the HDMI.
You can put all the resistors you want, but cyangen as a ROM doesn't do it. Otherwise, it should work with the official one. I doubt it will work with a generic one, or a homemade one.
If this feature is a must for you, then go to a Pi variant of the official rom. That works great. I had like 17-18 hours on a charge. With 8 of those streaming pandora at work.
I froze the CarDock application on my Pi rom, and everything still worked (audio through USB.)
If you want usb cables, www.monoprice.com.
As for the HTC thing, make sure it is not a properitary connector to HTC phones, like the motorola docks are to motorla phones. Ie) The Resistor on pin 5 of the HTC one might be 100k, while the one in the motorola one might be 200k.
Seriously, its easier to get the official one. Theres only one cable from the dock (microusb) Which splits into a USB-A and 3.5mm. And you can get extension cables from monoprice.
Good luck.
Wow... thanks. I meant to mention I have an extended battery so the phone is bigger than stock. And I wanted the ability to buy a new phone and keep my DIY Dock installed. But HTC and Motorola differ grrr.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
You found out for sure? I'm not saying there ARE, but they MIGHT be.
That sucks man. The battery pack probably won't fit on the cardock, it MIGHT on the regular dock. But the car dock has a back to it, and a latch that latches on the phone side. I HATE cases, and prefer skins. I had to trim the side of the skin from corner to corner on the USB side, just so it fit into the docks...little room for anything larger than stock phone.
I suggest...hacking up the official cardock or maybe the regular dock (instead of one cable, it has two jacks -- a microusb and a 3.5mm), and using a Pi-rom.
Ok so my goal to achieve is.. a permanent hidden wire behind the dash.
Kind of blows motos differ from HTC.. puts a kink...
I also hate cases but! With this extended battery my phone EASily lasts 2 days with decent usage. Like navigation all weekend. I had my stock back and battery in today with moderate use like Pandora at work and I was 10% by lunch. Possibly because I wiped the battery stats this morning from the Tom change. Allso I hear there is a battery drain in cyanogenmod.
I'm going to search up the pi-rom
I will most likely sucker up and buy the moto dock and use my stock battery :-(
I hate to cut the dock up when u can always resale it with the phone with the attrix 5g comes out lol

I am unlocked.. installing the recovery is no issue....
but the radio update im lost. there is no real instructions on usage.
I download the ....91 radio from the link.

so i have to use tenfars cwm, flash radio...
flash romracers recovery...
than i can flash cherrypi?
Why cant everyone just make compatible things with cwm recovery from rom manager
I got it installed. Not too thrilled it seems like a themed stock rom. I will deal with it until progress on cyanogen goes further
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
you have to remember this particular rom came out right after the bootloader unlocked. before Cyanogen even started.
All there was was 4.5.91 so every custom rom was based on that.
It was also done before a lot of the other clockworkmod recoveries were around... tenfars was the only viable one at the time. Hell, I even tried CWM's and it didn't work for C7 either. I still had to go to romracers recovery .
It is a themed and somewhat debloated 4.5.91, says so right in the description.
Extremely stable. Use Titanium Backup to freeze some other processes and you should easily be able to get 17hours on one full charge with 8hours of that streaming pandora over HSPA (stock battery). I do that all the time at work. And to top it off, the dock functions WORK.
I also changed from the launcher it comes with to ADW...to give it more of a stock feel.

I've been running π crust lately. It's pretty good. Not a fan of most of the themed roms.
I actually restored back to c7 because my home button quit working.
I noticed battery performance right off the bat with pi crust. I liked having blur but not logging in lol. The sticky notes from it are nice.
17 hours on stock battery with 8 hours streaming Pandora sounds nice. I actually stream 3hours of I heart radio in the morning than switch to Pandora.

Anyone have one of these that they use with this phone that works with other ones?
I saw this one below, but I'm a bit skeptical that it has a fake 3.5 audio jack on it...

Thanks!
I don't see anything about a 3.5mm jack in the description of that dock. In fact, it looks very interesting, except that I don't think the built-in USB hub is powered, so it wouldn't supply much power.
I get tired of buying a new dock every time I get a new phone.
Under notes the last one days the audio out on the back is a dummy. I still may try it though...

Does anyone else drive a Saab? Are you having problems with your phone connecting to aux? It works if I unhook the cord real quick from the car and push play on the phone and hook it back in. Just wondering if anyone has a fix or an adapter? I know it's the Saab input for the aux, just trying to find a way around it.
Tried buying a new cable and that wasn't it. Found a thread on another website but no answers, just questions.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I tried adding more cable length to see if it would change the impedance, but nothing helped. I was able to find an app called Headset Router that allowed you to play a song, but after it finished, it would stop.
I am going to return the phone today for the HTC 1x
What is weird is it works in my truck.. it's a Saab issue.

I saw one of these cool looking "MHL hub" devices for sale on eBay for between 10 and 15 dollars and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them on the L900 Note2. I ask because I know the domestic versions of these devices often have many features locked out or missing (FM radio, tv-out, etc.).
Also, for those people who have confirmed they work, does using it just as a card reader require that external power be connected? Does using the HDMi output feature require power be connected? Can HDMi output, the card reader, and the usb slot be used simultaneously or can they only be used one at a time? Lastly, will such a unit fit a Note2 with an otterbox defender?
Thanks.

mhl/HDMi
Any updates on this?
I would guess no one has used it. What I can answer for you is that hdmi always requires power. I would think that everything would work at once (my hdmi dock hub does) like a normal usb hub. Now would it work with your case. That would depend on how much room you have when you connect usb.

I have bought a smart dock but It didn't work well for my phone. I then tried it on my sisters
S4 and it worked a bit better. At times it would glitch and the TV would blink on and off. I haven't tried this one yet im tempted to pull the trigger but not yet. I bought an MHL adapter which works much much better, and yesterday I finally got my bluetooth keyboard and mouse and they both work wonderfully. I haven't used them together( I dont have two sets of triple A batteries :/..)
