Anyone know if the i9300 dock station, EDD-D200BE, works with the TMobile S3.

I dont see why it wouldnt work. Just seems to use the micro usb port. I hope they make a samsung dock that includes an extra battery like they did with the gnex.

According to the Samsung Accessories page they have one
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T999MBATMB-accessories
Samsung Galaxy S® III Spare Battery Charging System
ETC-CP1G6LGSTA
but it doesn't look like it has a charging port for the phone and the spare battery..
$50 for a desktop dock or a car dock. That is outrageous for a piece of plastic.
I can't decide if I want to buy two docks or wait for an all-in-one option. I want something that will charge the phone, the battery, and have built in line out. Nothing I've seen has all three.
Maybe I'll wait till Jelly Bean comes out with play-through USB feature and just get a clock dock.

They are now listed available to order and will ship in three days, 1/23.

http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Vehicle-Navigation-Mount-P182792874-P93056.htm
They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.
The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.
The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...
Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.
I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.
Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.
Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.
but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.
Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find
The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port. Take a look here for all the official dock options which may or may not arrive. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/02/samsung-galaxy-nexus-docks-and-chargers-get-a-proper-fondling-prongs-put-to-use/#more-54594

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.
guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

I never used the power button on my Nexus S when it was docked.
Bought an inexpensive desktop dock on Amazon for my Galaxy Nexus. Received it today.
*The Good:*
It was $20
Comes with a USB transfer cable as well as a 1.5A wall charger.
Removable inner casing to allow docking with a case on (at least in the description)
Spare battery charger port in back
*The Bad:*
Cannot dock my phone with either case on it. Must be naked.
Spare battery port does not work with Verizon battery
No audio port for 3.5mm out
If you have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, it is useful only as a desktop charging/syncing dock as long as you're not using a case.
For $20 it's fine, but I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't work with a case and that the spare battery slot is useless to me.
Anyway, here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Solutions-Battery-compatible/dp/B006O45K9C

No it doesn't.
to let people know, the battery slot will only charge the normal size GSM version battery, not extended one.
Thanks for posting this. I'm usually a no case guy so this sounds good. Unfortunately the plastic on this phone is too fragile and I've already damaged it, so I now have a case on.

While it doesn't, I'll be using some NFC stickers I picked up from tagstand.com to do this and a handful of other tasks via NFC Task Launcher and Tasker. Should be good fun.

It actually comes with two. One for "sync" (a standard usb cable) that is 4ft or so and another for just charging that's thinner and around 6ft. I've actually not used either and instead, just stuck with the cable that came with the device.

Has anyone tried these docks from mugen?
Seems like a better alternative to the very expensive (including shipping) Official Samsung Docks. Any Disadvantage?

Wow I can't believe how much the price goes up with just an hdmi port.
In Europe that HDMI dock can be a little cheaper:

Those docks are NOT from Mugen!
They are from a company called Kidigi, which the logo says on the docks...
I have been using the dock with place for a 2nd battery for a month and it is really good. Fits perfectly and feels high quality. It can charge a standard sized battery, but not the extended battery. And they only fit the GSM model, not the VZW model...
If you have a MHL-adapter you do not need the HDMI dock, just plug the mhl adapter into the dock and you will be able to transfer the picture.
I bought mine from 4u-mobi.com
Can certainly recommend those docks!
Posted about this a while back, seems there is a little more interest now that people realize how expensive the Samsung option is.
I have the dock with the spare battery charger as well.
It fits nice and snug both with and without a case, though that may also be a complaint for some people. I used to have the Nexus One desktop dock, so it's a little annoying that the dock stays so well attached when I'm trying to take the phone out of it. If the Samsung dock wasn't so stupidly expensive I probably would have preferred to go official just for ease of docking/undocking.
The best feature is that the dock will actually support data through the USB port on it, so like others have mentioned you can transfer files while connected to a computer, or turn it into a HDMI dock with a MHL adapter.

I have a mhl adapter but two questions/concerns.
1) Can you charge the phone and output hdmi if you connect the MHL adapter?
2) The mhl adapter also needs power. If I am using this in the car, not sure how I will provide power to the MHL adapater and phone at the same time. Does the MHL adapter also charge the phone when it is plugged in?
Ugh another gsm only option. I think I've finally had it and I'm going to try making my own.

1) Yes, but you will need to plug a charger into the mhl adapter.
2) Have not tried, but I guess that may be a problem since the mhl cable requires enough power. Maybe a cable from 12V to the MHL is enough, but I cannot guarantee that it will work.

Hi all,
I was looking out for a dock with audio out, but couldn't find one apart from genuine Samsung one, designed for galaxy s3 or older one for note, which will be bigger than needed. Unfortunately dock for infuse 4G would be too small...
I wouldn't mind getting Samsung one, but is pretty expensive for what it does.
Other solution I was thinking of is to get micro usb cable that would have a jack out as well as USB out for charging, plug it into dock and then I would have my audio out. But couldn't find anything to be honest. Does it exist?
I search this forum but found nothing.
Please, could you point me in right direction?

Only ones I've seen are mini USB for HTC phones so you just use a micro USB adapter to plug it in, and I know they also 11 pin cables but I'm betting it won't work.

I've ordered this one, hasn't arrived yet, but it apparently has the goods! I ordered mine from Australian Ebay (.au), not sure if you get the same options.
I can't post a link, but the ebay item title is..
SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 S 3 III GT-I9300 BLACK DESKTOP CASE DOCK MOUNT CRADLE CHARGER
item number 120926076846
Its quite cheap, that's why I'm getting it.. low risk.
Thanks a lot guys! Dock from Australia looks like will do the job and is a lot cheaper then the USA one, although USA one looks nicer. Still both will do same job so I think I will go for cheaper one!
Thanks again for guys!

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive dock for Nexus 5 with built-in USB charging? I need one for my office where phone stands most of the time in dock unless I need to use it. I currently have a cheapo dock for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (bought for like $5) but it does not fit N5 and USB connector on N5 is turned around.
What I would like is something similar - form-fitting, affordable, unobtrusive, stable to use phone while in dock and with built-in charging.
Any recommendations would be welcomed.
It's too soon for bespoke docks and the universal ones don't work for the reason you mentioned. I'm checking every day for the Kidigi dock that will come to market but it's not on sale yet.
An alternative is to buy a desk stand and plug in a charging cable as normal.
I hope Kidigi know it too... Look at the Dock, the USB Connector is not in the right direction.
