Edit: Discussion of the Motorola Car Dock. I'd be happy to answer any questions about it and I'll try to keep the Q&A from the thread consolidated in this first post.

Moto Version: The product includes the Moto Dock, USB/audio hybrid cable, Motorola dual USB 850mA car charger, suction cup mount and adhesive disc mount, 3.5mm stereo cable, removable adapter plate for when you are/aren't using a case.

VzW Version: The product includes the Moto Dock, suction cup mount and adhesive disc mount, 3.5mm stereo cable, removable adapter plate for when you are/aren't using a case. It DOES NOT include a car charger or charging cable, but it does have a receptacle on the back of the mount to plug in your existing micro USB charger.

Happy with the dock so far.

Compatible Cases (known)

- Incipio Featherweight

- W/ Extended Battery: TPU Case

Q&A

Q: Can anyone tell me if the Motorola Car Dock obstructs the rear facing camera?

A: No obstruction of the rearview camera.

Q: If you use the 3.5 headphone jack to play audio thru your radio can you still recieve calls with hands free or do you have to unplug it from the phone?

A: You can still receive calls with hands free, you don't have to unplug the audio cable.

Q: Will a Bionic in a Otterbox Defender fit in the car mount? If not, will taking of the silicone part help?

A: Pending confirmation.

I also have the car dock, the user interface is so/so and i hate agreeing with the terms every time i dock it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] groove9281:
I don't remember where it was, but somewhere in the options for the car dock you can tell it to stop prompting you with the terms every time you dock it. I know I found it and turned off the terms prompt because I don't see it anymore.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Houdiniact:
You can stop the agreement from coming up right on the agreement screen itself. Just scroll down before clicking accept and there is a box to check. Its very simple :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Thanks for the info on the bluetooth adapter. If you're not a big fan of Moto's Car Dock app, you can download other dock apps like "Car Dock Home v3".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] korruptedone:
If you get the Costco bundle it does come with a charger, just fyi.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Just to clarify...is the car charger packaged in with the Moto Dock...or are you saying Costco includes a car charger as part of their accessory bundle?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] puckalicious:
Anyone know if something like this would get the audio-out from the USB port and allow charging simultaneously? The only problem is it is mini USB but there are micro to mini usb adapters.

http://store.phandroid.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm

I'd like to be able to only plug in 1 thing and get both the stereo out to my car stereo (pandora) and charge it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docabe:
Charger

I bought my Moto car dock from a Verizon retail store, and it included a charger. Maybe you should open a few boxes to be sure you didn't get one with the charger removed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Weird....when I checked the reviews on the VzW website...most of the people there are saying it doesn't come with a charger. I'm not at home but I'll post up the UPC/SKU #s when I get home so we can compare. Maybe there are 2 different models floating around? Mine was $39.99, how about yours?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] puckalicious:
Here we go. Combine this -

http://www.amazon.com/Plam-Power-Audio-Adapter-800/dp/B001D4K6LU

with a charger and this -

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Head...UUGC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1318445980&sr=8-6

This should allow a 1 plug solution on the car dock so that you can charge and output streamed audio to your car stereo. Just pop in your Bionic and done.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I think this is what we need: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-8949...1G1W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318447119&sr=8-1

per the description: Motorola retail packaging includes: DROID BIONIC vehicle dock, windshield and dashboard mount, rapid vehicle charger, 5ft audio cable, audio and power usb cable, quick start guide.

Guess I'll be returning my dock to Vz and buying the one offered by Amazon.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] puckalicious:
Isn't "retail packaging" the same as Verizon carries?

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Forget the above. Here is the cable that comes with the Motorola car mount. There is no picture but this was confirmed on a Motorola support forum. It's almost half the cost of the whole kit, may as well buy the whole kit.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Icculus760:
got the Verizon mount & it came w/ the charger, but - even using a rapid charger and getting charging symbol w/ unl3ash3d (1.7 now :)) charging can't keep up w/ the GPS drain (charges fine w/o gps). is that normal?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docabe:
I just checked again, it was 39.95 retail, and came with an audio cable, dash mount disk, and car charger. I bought it from a brick and mortar VZW shop in Las Vegas.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Ok, so the moto car dock i got from the VzW store is model #MOTBIOMNT and the UPC is 7 23755 66836 2. I double checked and theres definitely no charger cable included. The moto branded car dock VzW sells is specially packaged for Vz, whereas the packaging from the Amazon kit probably has no VzW logos on the box is my guess.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
does the included audio cable plug into the phone or does the car charger have a 3.5mm jack on it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docabe:
audio cable

Unfortunately, the audio cable plugs into the phone, and not the dock.

BTW, it is male on both ends.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] astrogiblet:
I got the Moto dock from Verizon and it did NOT come with a charger either. It just came with an audio cable, the suction cup mount, and the adhesive disc/alcohol wipe.

Couple things I want to mention for anyone thinking about buying the car dock:

1) The dock software that comes on the Bionic sucks, IMO. Half the time it won't speak directions to me. I Found a good work around for this is starting Google Maps navigation first, then docking my phone and it doesn't open up the crappy dock software that way. I imagine I can freeze the dock software with Titanium Backup and only use the dock for viewing and charging convenience.

2) I got the glossy silicone case from VZW and it fits inside the dock (not very well, but it does). However, I have found one issue and that is that every time I dock my phone it hits the power button due to the case being so large. Also, the power button on the dock itself doesn't work with this case.

3) I read on an Amazon review that the Holster style case (the one with the kickstand that VZW sells) + extended battery/cover will still fit in the Car Dock. I ordered these items late last week and will update this post when I know for sure this is the case...

4) Instead of buying a car charger, I got this TomTom cigarette lighter adapter from Best Buy (It was ~$27.99) since I already use my cars only working cigarette lighter for a satellite radio:

http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/product...-cables/high-speed-multi-charger-9UUC.001.04/

Then I bought a USB cable and a USB extension cable to go from my cars rear seat cigarette lighter to my car dock. Works great. Only issue I've had is the TomTom adapter creates a lot of noise on the power line going to my satellite radio. Going to get a Ferrite core from Radio Shack to put on my satellite radio's power line to see if that will fix my occasional noise/static issue.

5) The port on the back of the car dock is pretty shallow, so some thicker USB cables may not work. I've got USB cables that are the correct charging port, but they have very thick square "shoulders" around the base of the port and that caused a really stressed/weird angle when plugging in the USB cable to the back of the car dock. I ended up getting a different cable thinking I'd damage the charging port over time continuing to use the thicker USB cable.

Long post, but I feel like I had a lot of questions before buying the car dock and I hope I've answered them for prospective buyers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
FYI the Moto Car Dock that includes the special hybrid USB/audio cable and Motorola branded rapid charger (850mA) is now down to $38.94 on Amazon....it's a steal at that price! http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-8949...1G1W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320329936&sr=8-1

Some things to consider if you get the dock from Verizon Wireless:

1) it doesn't include the rapid charger or hybrid USB/audio cable

2) unless you already own a special USB cable and charger capable of 850mA - 1A charging, you'll be limited to a 500mA charge rate - trust me when I tell you that's not enough to sustain the Bionic if you're simultaneously using navigation and streaming music. To expand on that, if your battery is fully charged, you may have some luck with the charger keeping up with the battery, but if you drop it in the cradle with a 50% charge it won't be able to keep up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rcicu:
you happen to know the part number for the hybrid cable?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
It's skn6394a. That's the hybrid cable only. Based on this thread, you may not be able to order it alone: http://www.motoask.com/motorola-atr...-part-number-for-atrix-vehicle-dock-t651.html
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jtrippe77:
Will a Bionic in a Otterbox Defender fit in the car mount? If not, will taking of the silicone part help? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] astrogiblet:
When I went to VZW they specifically told me the Otterbox Defender would NOT fit in the car dock even without the insert in. Not sure if you can make it work someway, though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jtrippe77:
I thought that it might be too big. Thanks. Oh well, the defender is not difficult to take on and off. When I get it I'll see if it can work but I can see on the case where it might not be able to sit in the dock all the way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] astrogiblet:
Yea, I really like the Defender as far as protection goes, but the car dock is very useful to me in work and home life so I decided to not get a defender (plus it doesn't fit the extended battery without using a dremel tool).

I'm using the holster style case but it provides very little protection and I feel like if I dropped it the case would crack in half.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tj!2k7:
Perhaps for inclusion into the OP: the TPU extended battery case for the Bionic fits the cardock (without insert).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Thx, I'll update and add a section for cases known to work with the dock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 2fast4u89:
Does anyone know how to keep the phone from automatically jumping back to the car dock home screen when you hit the home button? I'd like to access my regular home screen without having to hit exit every time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tj!2k7:
You could try freezing the car home using Titanium Backup (works for me). Pretty sure you need to be rooted though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I don't think you can override that if you're using the Motorola Car Home. I've recently switched to the Google Car Home app. I like it because it's more customizable. You can't get it in the market because I believe it's disabled for Moto phones, but you can download and install it from here: http://www.droid-forum.com/bionic-car-dock-app-text-speech-issues-t3378.html?t=3378. I found it using the search terms "google car home bionic"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 2fast4u89:

Can someone confirm that the standard TPU case fits in the dock? I assume it does since I saw someone post about the extended battery version. Need to confirm since it's for my Wife.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mwyarm:
Car Dock Alternatives

I read above that someone was willing to freeze the Moto car dock app to see if they could prevent from launching. I have not rooted my phone but if I knew that it would solve the phone from going into Landscape mode because it detected the car dock, I would start reading on how to root immediately. I bought the card dock for the charge and quick insert (no fumbling with wires) but I use EVA as my phone assistant and I don't like looking at everything sideways. I called Moto and all they would say is that is how it was designed. No options offered. I asked why they could not just let the orientation software figure things out as it was designed and they have no answer. So, has anyone figured out to use the car dock charger but kill the app without going into landscape mode.

Oh, by the way, I did try a profile setting app and it kills the app but because of how Moto designed it the home screen and every open app is still in a partial landscape mode (bottom keys upright but all other widgets sideways).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slvrdrgn123:
Wish I had bought it when it was $38. It's been at $50+ since it went back up and I don't want to pay that much for it. If it does go back down, I can test everything out for you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
When I have my sedio case on the moto dock it doesnt go into dock mode with it off it does any reason why ??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Are you sure it's seated properly? Does the phone show that it's charging when it's in the dock?

Also, which dock do you have, the Verizon Wireless one or the Motorola OEM?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I have moto one i believe ig is sested properly no it doesnt chsrge
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
The dock has a plastic insert or shim that's supposed to be removed when using the phone with a case, did you remove that? If that doesn't help then it sounds like the phone isn't making a good enough connection with the USB plug in the dock and that's why it's not charging or going into dock mode. If that's the issue then the case is probably too thick to work with the dock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jtrippe77:
I got the car dock for Christmas and absolutely love it. I used it on a long trip to New Orleans for the BCS Championship game and have used it throughout the state of Alabama for work travel. I can play SiriusXM. Pandora, TuneIn, etc. through bluetooth in my car or the auxiliary port in the State car and the sound is great. At the same time I can look at the maps. I posted a question prior to getting the dock asking whether the Otterbox Defender case would fit. It does not. Therefore, I got the extended battery and the TPU case. Fits perfectly. I was tired of taking the Defender on and off all of the time. I'm still in my window to return the Defender so all is good.

http://www.store.motorola.com/Motorola-Dock-Power-USB-Cable/dp/B005NDKQ3K[/QUOTE]

I probably needed to keep reading but is this the hybrid usb audio cable? There is no picture. That is the ONLY part I'm missing and would really like. Anyone have one their willing to sell ;)?

On a side note. I bought the dock from VZW. Love it. One morning my work truck wouldn't start, I would get just clicks. I knew it was the battery because this happens all the time. So when i docked me phone I noticed the light on the cigarette plug came on, so I thought hmmm... I wonder if... And sure enough when I plugged that in and gave it a minute low and behold the truck started (started hard but started). Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying run out and but one so you can jump start vehicles. I just thought i would share. And the phone works fine, still charges and there are no issues.

In EBay india they bring up a deal every day at 11 A.M . Today's deal was a SE Neo V for like 16000 INR, He called me and said they had the offer put in E-Bay and I was like WTF coz I bought this fone for 17500 INR ,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
The 3D sweep panorama for the Xperia Neo, will be available in the current update, it might be that it's not available yet in India. Just wait a few weeks, and you will be able to update and get the 3D sweep panorama function.

Check out settings > about phone

You'll probably have android version 2.3.3, the update makes it 2.3.4.

If you don't won't to wait, you can update via XDA.

anyone can help?

So if i flash it with Cyanogenmod 7.1, will the sweep panaroma feature still be available?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fire-warrior:
you should try Wotan server

first register in the website then download the program and after identifying the phone select advanced ... our device is called mt15i and choose 2.3.4

this method doesn't need root or opening boot loader. :)

i have successfully updated my phone to 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.3.3

but never ever downgrade to 2.3.2 or you will loose your phone.

if you face any problem please contact me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Rayearth09:
Hi. I'm from the Philippines, and I am a Xperia Neo V user.

As for your concern, Xperia Neo and Neo V are both 2011 smartphones introduced by Sony Ericsson, Xperia Neo V or MT11i is the successor of Xperia Neo. Now, the difference between these two smartphones is that first, Xperia Neo has an 8 Megapixel Camera compare to Xperia Neo V with just a 5 Megapixel Camera, the reason for this is that the company has an issue with the megapixel market (which I read mostly on some blogs). Second, as for their android OS version, I believe that these two has the same 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) version, I dont know with your country why your phone has only 2.3.3, but you can update it though. Third, Xperia Neo V is powered by Mobile Bravia Reality Display bringing its pictures and videos to a more level when it comes to quality. Neo V is also the first smartphone to have a facebook inside Xperia upgrade benefit. Fourth, Xperia Neo V is the only one to have a feature of 3d Sweep Panorama, in which the Xperia Neo has not.

To top all this, both of them are amazing phones to have.

I also read it on some news that Sony Ericsson will release an update so that the 2011 smartphones will have the 3d Sweep Panorama feature. So just update yourself to this updates. And by the way, android will release its OS version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Update this March-April. Its an update that most android phone users are looking forward to..

Thank You.. ^_^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] breakfastdude:
No offense, but this thread is three months old, by which time the threadstarter would most probably have received the said update. Anyway, to some corrections: the Neo is not without the Bravia Engine, as you may have meant. Also, the Facebook inside Xperia has been available to the 2011 Xperia phones since around July last year, around three months before the Neo V was launched. And yeah, all it takes is a simple update via PC Companion to get the 3D Sweep Panorama to the Neo (2.3.4 update). Again, no offense meant in my post, I just want to help clear out the facts.

Have a nice evening, buddy. :)
