So far the cheapest OEM Pogo Pin Landscape Dock I've found cost USD57. Anyone found any units that would be cheaper?

How about a link to the one you found?
One thing about the pogo pins doesn't make sense to me. If the pins are on the same side as the power switch, how would you turn the phone on and off? Because of that, I think I might be better off getting a USB dock.

You don't turn it off. It says at clock mode and after a time of inactivity, the brightness is almost zero.

my S2 suffers very bad screen burn where the status bar is in portrait mode (visible only in landscape) - my question is wouldn't the same thing happen if the screen was to stay on at all times in clock mode?
IIRC there's some Settings for dock regarding auto screen off and such.

I know on my aftermarket dock, you can tap the upper side of the phone , which would be the left side up, and it will hit the power button to turn on the screen. Works pretty good.

Yeah, this concerns me too. I would never get a desktop dock for this reason. I like my pretty screen too much
However, I am anxiously looking for a car dock since that's not quite enough hours to cause burn-in

While the phone is in the dock the clock doesnt stay in one spot only. It bounces around on the screen in a random pattern (at least to me it looks like it doesnt have a pattern) in an attempt I guess that tries to prevent the screen burning. I was hoping that there was a way to make it so it doesnt bounce around but now that I think about it and this thread popped up its probably a good idea that it does that.
I sure wish aftermarket pogo pin docks would start being released already...$57 for the official one is too much IMO.

Am i the only one who is having this issue? My phone wakes up while in the case due to the magnet. At first i thought that the sleep and awake button was getting hit when i pit it in the case, but even sitting the phone on top of the case still does it. Is there anyway to turn this feature off?
i am new to windows mobile so thanks in advance.

Apparently magnets in the case can turn the phone on, mine sometimes turns on but it seems only to do this if the magnet is passed over the bottom part of the screen where the hardware buttons are.
I haven't seen anyone coming up with a fix, I suppose it really depends if this is a feature or an accidental thing

Apache was the same way... I believe it actually uses a magnetic switch to detect when it's slid open. I discovered that I could use a magnet (the one in my case, no less) to rotate the screen.
Yeah, it's a pain.
I found this in the archive but i am not sure how to edit a registry (if im reading it correctly). Is anyone a bit more savvy than me thats willing to try what is discussed on this post?

The above post is the reg edit that I use every time I flash. Fixes the problem perfectly.

Probably too early to know, but I'm hoping there will be an upright docking/charging station but with the charging port on the top edge of the phone I don't know how this is possible.
hey, havent seen any yet but if you ever need a custom dock, i believe a guy here on xda made a few on his 3d printer n shipped em out. maybe if you ask nicely and offer him some funds....
a top edge charging port? Maybe it will be a sideways dock for movie viewing that you slide in from the side.

It seems that it's now available on the Samsung site. I would like to get this one.
Mang that's pretty nice. Little expensive though. I usually fork over the dough on accessories but lately changing phones alot. But might keep this one for awhile. I prob wait and see what else is goin ng to be out there. There will be more accessories out soon.

Yea, pretty simple... I wonder if there's any downsides to leaving the Super AMOLED on all night though? I realize the black pixels would just get shut off but the red ones....
I'd also assume you can close out of that app as well (IE, if I plug it in the car...)

Do a search in the Market app for "Captivate" and you will see a Desk Dock app, and a Car Dock app specificially for the Captivate from Samsung. I'm guessing these have some special settings. I plan on getting the dock station as well.

Yea you can easily get out of the app with a touch or two.
As for leaving it on all night, i believe it will still behave normally and shut off the screen after X amount of time, but when you bring it back, it will be the night clock instead of the lock screen..

A buddy of mine bought the Droid X and a very similar dock. When he puts it in the dock it knows and put's it into a "Alarm Clock" mode. He didn't add an app or anything. Whatever it was came with the phone. I can't imagine it's a native Android feature. Will have to ask him to dig around a bit and figure out what it was.

when you fold the backflip that it looks like a clock the "sleep mode" gets activated and its actually a low power clock and alarm and can slideshow your photos
its the only thing i miss from the phone.
the only problem was that the capacitive buttons leds were linked to the display on so it was dim and then REALLY bright. but I got used it

Motorola includes Car Dock and Home Dock programs with the Droids. The docks have magnets in them, and the sensors in the Droids pick up on this and launch the appropriate Dock based on where the magnetic field is coming from (back of case or side of case).
Software wise, there's something VERY similar for the Captivate from Samsung. They don't appear to be using the magnetometer the same way a Motorola does, but you can fire them off like regular apps.
They're also not pre-installed for some reason. Go to the Market and search Captivate...you'll find 'em, and another bonus.

This is actually the Stock "Desk Clock" App that is on android 2.1..Samsung Removed that apk and installed their own clock app, which is why your phone doesnt do this.
I read that someone Removed the Samsung App and installed the Standard Clock.apk and it was working fine. However, the install was slightly complex (not for those who are familiar with Linux). You can search for that,
OR
you can wait for a nice and sexy Custom ROM to come out for the Captivate which will most likely remove TouchWiz, Samsung Apps, and ATT Crapware all in one swoop!

I Googled it for you, second link down, give it a go, it's really easy.
The first thing you’ll want to note is the dock will not work with the LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus, however, it will work with either the stock or the official extended battery for the GSM version of the phone, though the fit is noticeably more snug.
Thanks - I did look round before i posted the question
Verizon Pogo Pin Dock works with extended battery
I can affirm that the extended battery works with the pogo pin dock that is available on samsung's website. It's a bit of a hefty drop for $95 with tax and whatnot but it's well worth the money. also, it may be interesting to note that there is a bit of a 2-4 second delay sometimes for the phone to register that it has been placed in a dock. it goes straight to the clock when it has been docked.
Samsung website: (I would post the link but I can't because I haven't posted 10 times yet) -__-
NOTE: The model number of the dock that is compatible with the CDMA version is: EDD-D1F8BEBSTD
hope that helps!

$95 is a tough pill to swallow, but I'm thinking about it, because I will probably end up keeping this phone for the full two years of the contract I'm on.
Does the i515 dock work OK with the OEM extended battery?
And a couple questions I have about the phone's behavior in the dock that I haven't seen answered in any threads about the dock:
When docked, the phone is supposed to go into the landscape clock mode. Cool.
1. Does the normal screen timeout setting work? (does the screen turn off after x minutes?)
2. How do you turn the screen on and off manually? The volume buttons?

* Yes, clock mode or another app can take that over if you desire if the app supports it.
* Screen respects the normal timeout settings EXCEPT if the screen saver clock is on, then the screen never times out. To prevent the screen saver you need to use an alternative dock app as per my point above.
* Reactivate the screen by either modding for volume button wake or removing it from the dock and pressing the power button.
Samsung/Google didn't anticipate needing to use the power button (it's inaccessible) I suppose because the screen is never off with their default config... they just didn't consider alternative configs.
They should have included a 'wake/sleep' button on the actual dock.
DJ, Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, it seems that the dock was not very well thought out, and that its interaction with the phone was also not well thought out. It really disappoints me, as when I bought the GN back in December, the (potential) availability of a desk dock was one of the features I really wanted. I had a DX prior to the GN, and used the desk dock every night. My phone is my alarm clock. However, in that function, I need to be able to turn off the display and turn it back on easily.
It also seems the CDMA GN is kinda the 'bastard stepchild' of the family. The GSM version can get the dock on Play for $55. Us CDMA owners are stuck with getting it from Sammy directly for $90.
I've got a Nexus 7 on the way, and noticed that it also has pogo pins. Hopefully ASUS won't screw the pooch or fiddle around for more than 7 months on getting accessories out.
It just really seems to me that Sammy doesn't give a **** about the GN. They were like "here, Google, have fun, see ya later!"

The CDMA phone and the GSM phone are slightly different thickness wise.
I think the GSM dock can be 'massaged' (read: use a dremel on it!) to fit a CDMA phone.
The situation is still rather laughable, IMHO.
hi guys , I have a galaxy nexus desk dock ,but a question annoy me that the first option of dock setting(audio) is always grey and never active it when I put my phone on dock. In my nexus one dock you can active the first option of dock setting(audio) and then you can answer incoming calls and listen music transfering by buletooth t. In galaxy nexus dock what i have mentioned is impossible thing because you only listen music by line out . and why ?who know it please tell me ,thx.
Is there a video showing this? I have the gsm with original battery and there are marks on the car dock where the volume buttons are pushing against it when inserting. In going to break something eventually .
I have been putting pogo side first then snap in other.
When removing over just push from back and the top half comes out soil at once then I pull the rest out.
Thanks!
What you describe is pretty much what I do, I've not looked for vids.

Thanks for the video. I guess I do it the same way. It still bothers me that marks are showing up on the volume side of the dock. Hopefully the next nexus will be out before this causes real damage to the phone lol.

I've a Singapore L29 C636 version being used in USA.. I got 11.0.0.138 today and can confirm I didn't find any such feature.. Its the most missed feature for me since I moved from LG to Huawei.. Mate 20x is a really big, heavy phone.. Having double tap to wake screen without lifting the oyone is definitely helpful
Thanks...these days I have been experimenting with face unlock when the phone is on the wireless charging dock on the desk. I touch the power button and the face unlock opens it. Or, I use the stylus to double tap the screen and then enter the pin, if face unlock is off. I don't like face unlock, it feels too insecure for me.

cool, frog hopped the AL00 again which is on 11.0.0.130 currently. good to see Huawei still rolling out updates, will be less frequent starting with this year for our beloved 20x.
correct @1300 mA refers to charging. at 5000 mAh battery capacity, charging rate of 1300 mA would take roughly 5000 mAh / 1300 mA = 3.85 h to fully charge from 0 to 100%.
Wireless charging receivers overall aren't really worth it. Apart from the long charging time, you need a good charger preferably OEM and you need to position it in the right angle for optimal charging otherwise it can be quite disappointing if after waiting many hours you come back to your phone and find it in the same batt gauge it was when you first tried to charge it.
I half agree with that. The first desk charger I tried was indeed intermittent. But I swapped it for a Nillkin model with an adjustable charging pad. This let me set the pad in just the right spot. Now I can drop the phone onto the desk stand without a thought and it charges reliably. Of course the charging animation is seen.
Speed is also an issue. I get 1050mah charging or so with this adapter. Not high speed by any means but good enough for me.
The other downside is the hassle of having to remove the charging pad (take off case, unstick pad, slide out fragile charging ribbon) to use a regular charging cable. So it's not a good solution if you want to swap back and forth. But for a total of about £32 it gives me some useful convenience.

You happen to be one of the lucky ones. Yes not all wireless charging pads are the same. If you want to buy a good one avoid the cheap ones that sell for $3 on aliexpress.
