Frys electronics has one that's general for all smart phones for about 20 dollars I believe

i just boutght one of these http://www.arkon.com/ when i had my MyTouch3G/Dream. The one that hooks up to the bottom of the passenger seat. Just kept using it for the new phone. Their generic and i think they work well.
I'm hoping ProMount get a holder for the 4G soon - I love their dash mounts.
Just saw the Official Desk Dock. Very sexy. They said it would be available some time december.

Did he/she say anything about a car dock??
They were not displaying it. I didn't have time to ask. They were taking to others about Windows7 phones.

Hopefully the Car Dock will secure the MT4G phone just as well as the Nexus One dock does. The charging contacts on the side will mean that you can just put the phone in the dock (which is attached to charging) so you will not have to attach anything to the phone.
But....if the desktop dock blocks access to the USB (being on the same side) then data access will not be available on this phone while docked (just like the Nexus One).
Keeping my eyes peeled for anything at T-Mobile or ShopAmerica.HTC.com
Do we know for sure that you cant transfer data through the docking pins?
a hard car dock + an app like dynolicious would be killer!
Car Dock
These come up on the t-mobile website. I hope a better one comes out soon.

I have that 'myTouch car holder' one. It's meant for the original myTouch, and it kinds of sucks. It holds the phone just fine, and it's easy to adjust; however, the clamps have about .05mm of clearance between constantly holding the camera shutter button down, or constantly holding the Volume Down key. Really annoying.
Also, T-Mo opted to not include landscape support into the entire OS! So when you try to use the phone while running Navigation, your contacts are still sideways. So dumb...
I hope they really knock it out of the park with the GPS cradle. The Desktop Dock is kind of a disappointment / nothing super fancy.
http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-hands-free-mount I bought this off of Amazon for 19.99 back when I had my G1, it works very well but I get nervous everytime I pull my phone off because of the removable back, I might just buy another battery cover to permanently stick onto the dock and just pop it out and go
Nice find friend. Can you post a video of the device?
I bought the Arkon's SM325-S originaly. I switched holder with the
SM050-2 recently for the look. It's pretty snug, a little tight with the snap-on cover.

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered the Skiva StrongMount today. Should have it by tomorrow.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

Sure. Just got it. Gonna try it out tonight.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I dig it. Its been on my dash since I bought it and its fallen off twice, which I think is due to the heat from being in direct sun light for months.

Thought I would share my cell mount that I got. I hated big klunkie mounts and buying a new one every time I get a new phone. I found these, one would do but for hard driving two lock the phone in place and nfc works fine.

Which ones did you get? There are multiple options! This is DEFINITELY what I've been looking for!!
One ego for the vent and one fix, I didn't plan on using both but the car is a Charger SRT-8 and if I pushed the car I could make it fall off. Now in most cars this would not be an issue but I like to push it every now and then...

Okay so... the "fix" fastens to the back of the phone and the "ego" clips to the vent? That right?
The "fix" is stuck to the dash under the ego in the vent . All that's on the phone is the metal button that sticks to the magnet in the ego/fix they come with four buttons to choose from..

Alright. I'll be ordering later this morning, haha. Thanks, mate.
is there any options to use this to mount the phone higher up on the windshield like a standard suction cup mount? i really like the idea but i've use vent mounts before i dont really like how it blocks the vent and you have to look away from the road to see your phone.
Just a caution: The stick on variant doesn't like ALL dash types, no matter how well you prep. In my case Subaru WRX.
I got the fixWAY. I love it so much I ended up buying 3 of them, one for each vehicle
I got a car mount from dealextreme and it is quite good. Secure quite tightly and doesnt come loose as i encounter with other mounts.
Granted does not fit when i have my extended battery fit on the phone
Does having a magnet on the back of the phone (when mounted) cause any problems or raise any concerns for anyone?
Yeah that's been asked a few times no it does not matter actually they are 4 small magnets which produce the magnetic fields that holds the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Here's my setup with the Tetrax Fixway mount I like it a lot. I just used a case to attach the magnet to so I wouldn't have to stick one on my actual phone. It's much more convenient I can just strap on the case when I get in the car and mount it to the Fixway either landscape or portrait.
With news that the Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb is being release in February, I'm curious to know if anyone has tested out this ability on their LGOG..... If specs are very similar to the Nexus 4, would the Charging Orb work....
It would be sweet to get this or some sort of wireless charger for our LGOG :fingers-crossed:
won't work
There has to be a wireless adapter usually on the back of the battery door for it to work. Unfortunately the nexus 4 has it, and the LGOG doesn't.
Some companies make aftermarket adapters for popular phones, however with a so called "non-removable" battery, it doesn't seem likely for us. But we can hope...

I read somewhere that with a little ingenuity and a soldering iron you could essentially make the OG compatible. Having never soldered anything in my life I ignored it, but try googling that if you feel capable of doing something like this.
I wonder how easy it would be to install the Palm Pre's touchstone coil in this phone, or if it's possible to install the Qi charging coil from an N4.....
I was wondering the same thing. I looked in the service manual and it seems that the same 2 powerpoints are on the Samsung Galaxy S 3 are also on this device. Can anyone confirm that these 2 points to the right of the battery are for charging contacts?

I have a couple of touchstones around somewhere. My biggest fear for this mod would be the pressure from coil pushing on the inside of the glass back.

I'm going to miss using my pogo dock for my gnex, but wireless charging sounds cool. Are there any good dock recommendations out there? I use my phone as a clock so something where it's also a "stand" is what I'm talking about. Please post up any links!
I have a nexus 4 orb charger that I actually bought for my nexus 7. It's pretty awesome but a bit expensive. It's angled so you can see the screen but grips my tablet really well.

There's also a cheap knock-off version that I bought (it doesn't say nexus on it) to keep at work.
http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html
It doesn't have that magnet-like hold on my N7 that the real one has but it might be OK for a phone.
But I would wait for this one...
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/
I wonder what the charging time of the new pad will be? Kinda like the look and idea but 4hr charge? Ha. I heard Sony is making one (or working on one) that sits the time in half but it probably won't be out till 2015
not the wireless dock, but if you guys remember samsung desk dock for infuse 4G, nexus 4 was kinda loose on that dock. Since the N5 is a bit wider, i hope it will fit on it perfectly!!!
Fingers crossed :good::good::good: :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Does anyone has the infuse 4G dock?
I like the orb thing, but I actually might just buy that nexus brand pad and maybe build some kind of dock for it.

This won't prop the phone up, but you could probably find a way.
I've been using it for about 2 months, works great, makes a quiet noise when connecting, works will all my cases.

It's not much bigger than a Galaxy Note. Funny, I actually used it to stretch out a leather pouch for my gNote.
FWIW I just bought the Nokia QI charger (DT-900) from AT&Ts website - $24.50 w/free shipping.
I read a review that went over the Nexus (old version), LG and Nokia one and chose the Nokia one as the winner... so... yeah.

Ha ha! I am in the exact same boat as you! I've been using the Infuse dock for my Gnex and am cautiously optimistic for the "fit" with my freshly-ordered N5! I don't mind it being a little loose ... Just hope it's not too snug.
(Wait... Did I really say that ^ ?)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Let us know if that works!!
I've been think more about the wireless charging dock and I don't see a practical way it will work. From my research, people say their phones barely charge, and sometime discharge when day dreaming on a wireless charging pad. So for me, not being able to use the dock for day dreaming a clock defeats the whole purpose of having a dock. Wish it just had pogo pins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I use the orb for my n4 and the Nokia dt-910 for my n7. my n7 daydreams as my bedside click and it charges just fine. the 910 is a bit nicer than the orb imo, but the n4 had issues with it so hopefully the n5 is OK. it works perfectly with my n7, and I'd recommend either
I bought a Kidigi universal dock only to discover that the micro USB socket on the phone is oriented differently than most phones. It's back to front!
It looks like Kidigi has some new docks coming out, including this one for the Nexus 5:
