[Q] do either of the motorola docs supply any cables?

power or otherwise?

You get a charger with the standard dock. It works with the dock or standalone like a travel charger.

Thats was the only reason that I picked up the Standard Dock. I figured that it was easy to make the case for an additional charger and for a few bucks more you get a dock.
At first, I thought that the dock would be difficult to use (placing the Xoom correctly on it and removing it), but after a few weeks of usage, it has been INCREDIBLY easy.
I'd recommend the dock to anyone / everyone that has a xoom...

I have the dock, and after a couple more weeks plan to find a speaker dock on sale somewhere.

Multimedia Dock

Hi
Just spotted this on Expansys - is it genuine?
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/
I thought the multimedia dock was going to be landscape?
Or are there 2 options?
Matthew

Yeah saw this too, my bet is by looking at the triangle construction on the back it can be both landscape and portrait but may be wrong......

Assuming the docks in this video are for the Galaxy Nexus: http://youtu.be/14x9kKgvHkg?t=1m7s
There appear to be two docks. A landscape dock that uses the pogopins, and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL. I'd guess that the landscape dock is just a charging dock, while the portrait dock is a multimedia dock.

and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL.

Just a thought: Since MHL just mirrors everything on the screen, a portrait dock would make a terrible MHL Dock for the most part.

Might be a dumb q... but will the landscape multimedia dock charge at the same time?!

i have seen this dock with the galaxy II,in a video.
so maybe the shop is wrong?

There is definitely a portrait multimedia dock as I have seen it advertised on other sites but not available until 30th November. I looked at a similar dock on the expansys site for the Galaxy SII and it does say it can be used in landscapde mode but I would assume you did that by just turning the dock on its side and the viewing angle on a desk would be pretty bad like that since it would sit 90 degrees to the desk.
It also doesnt say any information such as output ports but the other ones I have seen have an HDMI OUT for connection to a monitor or tv.
The image is also wrong for the Galaxy Nexus as it shows 2 buttons on the right side (presumably for the volume) when there should just be the single button on the right for the on/off and 2 buttons on the left for the volume (which the picture snt showing so we dont know). It probably wont even look like that lol.
Expansys obviously dont have any stock of this dock and the price looks pretty high so I would wait until the beginning of December and see what amazon or ebay start offering.
Mark.

It does say "Note: temporary picture" ... We'll see.

it does say " Note: temporary picture."

Has anyone seen a dock which just charges the phone? I just want a charging dock, no multi media, no MHL. Thank you.
P.S. through microUSB, no the pins

Good point. Maybe that dock can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, like the Galaxy S II docks.
Anyone find it weird that the Galaxy Nexus has both a MHL port and the pogo pins? It's like they can't decide on how to dock the thing and threw in the kitchen sink. With the MHL/MicroUSB port you can get USB data, charging, HDMI output, and maybe analog audio too, so what's the use for the pogo pins? It just makes docking options more complicated...

MHL can't be used at the same time as USB as far as I know. When the MHL cable or adapter is attached the phone detects it and it switches over to MHL.

Yeah, it's either MHL or USB. But what's the point of the pogo pins? All they do is charge. The MHL port, regardless of whether it's in MHL mode or USB mode, still charges. You don't gain anything by using the pogo pins. It leaves the MHL/USB port open, but then if you want to use it, it's still only either MHL or USB.

Hope so. It's weird that there are no accessories for Galaxy Nexus. Usually, accessories are sold before the phone is sold.

Nice..i kinda wished it used the 3-pins on the sides instead tho. Imma still grab it once its available.

This is exaaaaaaactly what I have been looking for. I wonder if there will be a way to get a gnex with a case to fit in it...thats the pain with most docks, not case friendly . Any ideas?

Official Samsung Docks

They are now listed available to order and will ship in three days, 1/23.
http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Multimedia-Desktop-Dock-P182792877-P93055.htm
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.

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.

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

Mugen Galaxy Nexus Dock

Seems like a better alternative to the very expensive (including shipping) Official Samsung Docks. Any Disadvantage?

Should be here in a couple days - I'll post a review when it arrives.

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.

Can you still get the official car dock anywhere?

Is there any place that still sells the official car dock for the GSM Galaxy Nexus? Also are there any alternatives that use the Pogo pins? Even better one that uses the Pogo Pins and supports a case like the Diztronic TPU case?
Let me clarify, anyone still selling the official GSM Galaxy Nexus Car Dock that isn't ~$75? Because at that price I will just hold the thing in my hand the whole time. I seen the Verizon versions going for like $10 on eBay.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GJ5S2E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?tag=androidcentral00-20

I bought a car dock when they were new but never use it because the audio is overdriven. It would work with attenuation in the line I think.
What I wish I had bought is the horizontal pogo pin desk dock. That would be so sweet at work.

I'll sell mine for $35. It's been modified for the Verizon phone, but there's no reason it shouldn't work for gsm as well..
