Amen brotha! Haha

Annnnnywho. Back on topic. Some of those Verizon users should be getting the dock within a couple hours i would think, now that the holiday weekend is over. I'm becoming as excited as a giddy school girl about to meet her favorite celebrity to actually have some real answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
I wish I was one of those. Mine shipped on Thursday but my expected delivery isn't until this Friday. From IL to ND o_O

Edit: I was wrong. I guess it shipped Friday. Still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmbfan13:
At least you have an expected date! Mine says it shipped Friday, but I have yet to see an expected delivery date or any kind of tracking information!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
I don't have a choice with gasoline and that is off point. This isn't a support group where people get in touch with their feelings. I asked a legitimate question. The user inferred that it does everything it is supposed to do but is not even worth 1/2 of what he paid for it. (Oh yes, and it was incredibly delayed, which I agree with.) Who does that? It is worth what you are willing to pay and clearly that is what he paid. If it didn't work as advertised, that is an entirely different story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I completely agree with him (although he didn't infer it, he implied it).

I do. I buy something because I want to. If it was half the price, I would have bought it. If it was twice the price, I still would have bought it.

I need to test something out before I will know if it will be worth it. Given that I couldn't test it out myself before buying, I only figured out that it wasn't worth it to me.

Would a reasonable person say that it is worth ~$70? Maybe. Would there be better value somewhere else? Probably.

It does work as advertised, just not as good as a reasonable person would expect from a product like this. I should have to force my phone into the dock (and fear breaking it). But it does work as advertised: as a car dock. Although there is no mention of the fact that you have to force the phone it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
Does your order status look like this?

Is the FedEx link missing at the bottom of yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmbfan13:
Yea, looks just like that, but as you said, is missing the FedEx link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
When I ordered the desk dock from expansys I didn't have a fedex link either.

It came usps. Quickly I might add.

I'd hold out hope for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmbfan13:
Oh maybe that's what it is! I did pay an extra $5 to have 2-3 day shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuckdz3:
Did you order the desk dock for a GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yes I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatttire:
I feel like the tight fit issue sorta ruins the whole point of this dock.

I have a modded Garmin mount that holds my Galaxy Nexus, with a USB and audio cable that I manually hookup.

I'm excited to get a dock because the whole process is one step faster and I can just slam it in there. But if I have to use two hands to shove it in there, and two hands to carefully pry it out with my dedicated attention, what time am I saving by using a dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oman0123:
I'm kinda shocked that nobody posted anything yet. Ahhhhh well. I don't mind checking this forum once an hour again tomorrow lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] butler360:
Just get Tapatalk. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Good point. That's why I just purchased a generic car dock and stream music thru Bluetooth. Samsung has got some stupid asses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sigismond0:
Regarding the tight fit (again):

This is exactly the same as the Verizon dock. I have had it for several months since giving up on the good dock (though I imagine I'll be getting it as soon as it's confirmed working), and the tight fit is what holds the dock in place. It'll break in with a bit of use and you'll get used to putting the phone in/taking it out. I had trouble at first as well, but I can now put it in and take it out one handed without knocking the dock off of my windshield or adjusting the volume on the phone.

POGO Car Dock - GSM i9250

I just received my car dock from expansys. Good quality dock, and works with my extended battery. Fit is tight, but I think it is meant to be tight.

Charging off the pogo pin works, however, audio does not. I am running custom ROM 4.0.4 for my Nexus.

Anyone know how to get the audio to work, if there is even a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I havent received mine yet but it should work. Works great on my pogo pin desk dock. Your custim rom is probably the culprit. I am running stock .4.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
wow, I dont know if I should get the GSM or wait for a LTE version...........has an LTE version been confirmed by samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] btkli:
Thanks for the information. Please let me know when you get your car dock, and see if audio works.

In the mean time, I will look to update my custom ROM and see if it'll fix the problem. I will post update later. Or if anyone knows of a custom ROM that has the dock audio enabled, please let me know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
I had to "Clearance" the Volume rocker hole a bit, the down volume was getting pushed down by the dock it self. The weird part was I had to do the work to the rear edge of the hole, like my LTE version was sitting to deep or the volume rocker is mounted more to the back of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] butler360:
So you have the GSM car dock and the LTE Nexus works with it? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wade-0:
So are there already "relief" spots in the dock for the buttons? That should make it easier to enlarge them with a dremel, I was assuming I'd have to eyeball it. Mine should be here in a day or two, it's sitting about 250 miles away right now. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thagov:
I got mine today ...works perfectly. It fits snug like its supposed to. Definitely won't mess up the phone as some others have posted. I use it along with the Google car home application, once I'm in my car place phone it dock it then connects to my Alpine unit via Bluetooth ....sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuckdz3:
GSM or CDMA?

Sorry I had to ask. I know there are some risk takers out there and I am just trying to get some feedback if it works or not for the CDMA. I wish people would just state their review of the dock,what they are running (4.0.X) AND their phone model (GSM or CDMA).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
His is GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
yes Mine is the CMDA/LTE (Verizon) phone and it works well for charging, haven't tested audio yet.

Yes there are holes with rubber extension buttons, I simply "shaved the bottom of the volume rocker hole on the down volume side with a sharp razor blade. Problem solved.

UPDATE: the music out does work. I did however install the car home APK's from earlier in this thread 1st and I am on AOKP 37
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
FYI. The car dock, HDMI dock, and Desktop dock are now available in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=galaxy_nexus_hspa

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I actually have both the portrait and landscape docks, and I can honestly say that you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference when it comes to inserting and removing the phone. -- both are equally smooth to insert/remove the phone, dipsite the portrait dock having a USB plug. It is not noticeable at all. They are both very well designed (unlike the bloody car dock).

I personally can't decide which one I like better. For watching video, I obviously like the landscape one. For doing anything else, I prefer the portrait one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xenokira:
Thank you! I placed my order based on what you said.

Perfect timing! I was just about to place my order through Expansys when you shared the link. Placed my order through the Play Store w/ 2 day shipping. We'll see how long Google takes to process it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thagov:
Yes mine is GSM... how'd you know that? ... by the way I'm sure cdma\lte will not fit....well it might with some modification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
My CDMA/LTE Verizon phone definitely fits and function as should with one minor problem of the volume down portion of the rocker witch took about 1 min and a razor blade to fix

Please stick to what you know, this is a vary informational thread, keep the guessing out of it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Does the car dock work with CDMA/LTE Gnex? It says it doesn't...

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morbidz:
ordered from the Play store for my VZ gNex.

based on the comments above seems like it'll be easy to make it a good fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Landscape desktop dock or the car dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
I just posted the answer twice. One more time for the cheap seats:

with the two apk's provided in a earlier post, and a small modification to the "hole" for the volume rocker, it does work as it would for the GSM version. The extra bulk of the CDMA/LTE version doesn't seem to be this issue, it appears the volume rocker is is a slightly different position(farther back).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xenokira:
Do you think the CDMA/LTE version would still fit with the extended battery? Maybe too much to hope for? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oneeyedjoe:
Be the guinea pig! I would be absolutely SHOCKED if any fitment issues (which there may not be any) couldn't be resolved with a steady hand and a dremel (or even a bit of sand paper). The .53 mm difference in thickness is minuscule.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Can't wait to use this as my "rear view mirror" or mirror of gore. Muahahahahaha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rtadams89:
I admit, I have not read this WHOLE thread, but I thought the issue was the LTE version of the phoen was slightly smaller than the GSM. If so, putting a LTE version in the GSM dock would require something to be added to the dock, not removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
You have it backwards buddy, the GSM version is slightly thinner than LTE, therefore, the LTE device might require the dock have some plastic removed, the difference is very slight.

I really hope the GNex doesn't end up like the MyTouch 4G did, came with three pins on the side and HTC/T-Mobile never released a dock that took advantage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
FWIW, I have the overpriced POS OEM Samsung Dumb Dock sold by Verizon and the phone fits with both the regular and extended battery. I don't know how much depth the extended battery adds to the phone, but if it turns out to be .5mm, it would seem like the GSM version would at least fit the LTE phone with the standard battery. I guess that's also assuming they sell and extended battery for the GSM Nexus? I guess that's a lot of assumptions still, but what I've noticed about the dock I have is that the dock secures the phone by gripping it around the edge of the phone, there's nothing really form fitting in the dock that rests up against the back of the phone.

I'm a little irked that the suction cup and arm show up in the picture if you're using the camera or camcorder in the dock tho. Oh well, still like the dumb dock FWIW, it's very sturdy and holds me over for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcjc:
Do you put the phone in the dock and remove it frequently? I drive 30 min here, 30 min there and would need to put in and remove frequently. I played with the dock at the store and thought it was not easy enough to put in and take out without the possibility of damage. I just wish it was a drop in dock with latch like the other phones seem to have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
Yeah I do dock/undock frequently. I'd rather have the phone in the dock than sitting in my pocket or loose around the car. I share your concern about the dock damaging the phone. Would take just a little bit of dirt/grit on your phone to cause scratches when putting in the dock. So far it hasn't been a problem for me, but I give the phone a quick wipe with my hand before putting into the dock for this very reason. Coming from the Bionic and Moto's Car Dock, I do like this one better. There's less play in the joint and I never liked having to line up the phone with the USB plug...that thing scratched the hell out of my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grinchyyy:
Just read this today, wondering if they just say that so we won't buy it...

Somebody has got to be willing to buy it and modify it to see if it works :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
I love the way they give us the correct part numbers but there's no place to buy them....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
The vehicle dock part number there is the GSM one with 3 pin functionality so according to Samsung the Verizon version will indeed fit in that one. Good news for us. Now where the f can I get one without breaking the bank?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergio526:
If they knew they were making an LTE and GSM version of the phone, I wonder why they didn't just make the GSM one thicker. Seems like it would have lowered the manufacturing costs if it was the same shell, battery, sim location, etc. Only difference should have been the main board with the chips that handle the radios. Then they could all use the same accessories too.

Here's another thought, are the 3 pins in the same spots on the two phones? Are they in the same order? Seems like a "Big Company" thing to do would be to change those things up to make them extra incompatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
Sure, if you are assuming a thinner phone wouldn't sell better? I think that most of us would love a thinner galaxy nexus if all things were equal. Another thing to keep in mind, is the extra bulk was more directly related to the larger batter that a GSM/CDMA hybrid needs to be on par with the GSM version. So the offset cost of the smaller battery more than makes up for the extra set up cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cg006:
Loving this phone. I do hope they bring the mount with the 3 pins. The verizon dock is SAMI515MNT

I guess i may take a chance also and preorder it

Official Car Dock for GSM version was supposed to be available as of today.

Sadly, got a note from Amazon UK:

We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on December 15 2011.

"Samsung Vehicle Dock Kit for Galaxy Nexus"

We are awaiting a revised estimate from our supplier, and will email you as soon as we receive this information.

I'm pretty disappointed. Clove.co.uk say they will have stock in sometime mid-January.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus2b:
that's right :( i saw end of january / middle febrary for the disponibility of this dock in Europe... so wait and see :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrylhadfield:
Sorry bud, the neither the mobilecityonline nor the fommy dock accommodates charging.. they're both the Samsung OEM dock that Verizon's selling.

Bell Canada and Amazon.co.uk appear to be the only options for the GSM dock at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
Can you provide any links where I can order these GSM docks (with pins)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trusstopher:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jstew182:
dB would you mind posting a couple of pictures of the dock with the phone? Also, a picture of the modification you had to make would be awesome. With the mod do the volume rockers on the dock still function correctly when pressed?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuckdz3:
Yes I would like to know/see both of these as well if you could. Do you have the OEM 2100mah extended battery?

Thanks again dB for being our guinea pig and helping all of us CDMA users out!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detonation:
I know it will take a couple days until people start receiving their docks, but I'd love to see a FAQ detailing which docks fit what (CDMA, w/ vzw extended battery, etc). $54 is much more in my price range for the pogo desktop dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Thanks!

I bet there will be more guys in the nosebleed section who ask the samething shortly, 3, 2, 1......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamontoast1291:
GSM pogo pin dock doesn't work with the CDMA nexus, any battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spleebie:
Waiting with bated breath for you to post back the results of this test. If it works with the OEM extended battery I'll buy this in a heartbeat. If it doesn't, then I might wait a couple weeks to see if Samsung/Verizon will say anything about getting an LTE car dock now that 4.0.4 is finally rolling out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tynen:
I was about to buy one until I saw that it's going to be $70.53 after tax and shipping. FORGET THAT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishtexmex:
Does anyone else plan on modding their docks so that they fit with 3rd party cases? My TPU has a cutout for the 3 pogo pins and the case is rather thin itself.

I just think it's going to be a huge pain in the ass to have to take it out of its case every single time I get in my car.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCX Designs:
You and Me Both! I've been waiting for a pogo dock since I got the Nexus in December, and would love if it fits with the extended battery. $68 isn't too bad for a charging/aux dock you don't have to plug in each time you get in the car!

Verizon absolutely sucks for not offering the Pogo version that was designed for ours. They only care about their stupid RAZR junk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It certainly will NOT fit with any case. It barely fits without one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Sounds to me like thegov was on the money if you need a razor blade (modification) to make it work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spleebie:
I'm not sure there'll be anything left if you cut out enough to fit it with a case.

And as annoying as Motorola has been, how awesome it would have been if the Razr MAXX was the Nexus for ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErismaSS:
I don't spend a lot of time in forums but are people really this dumb or are they trolling a random board trying to cause confusion?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCX Designs:
So if I got this right:

LTE Nexus fits the Car dock

It charges

It works with AUX audio

and the Pins all make contact

only question I have left is, does it work with the extended OEM battery for the LTE version?

I'm waiting for confirmation, I have my mouse ready to click "BUY" lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Fits? doesn't sound like volume down works without modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spleebie:
To me, 1 minute with a razor blade to widen the volume button hole = fits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xenokira:
agreed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCX Designs:
I concur, if it takes a small modification to get the inlet inside to not push the volume key, its a simple one and I call that a fit.

Its better than relying on Verizon to get off their a$$ and get one that works for ours. The intuitive consumer works around corp bull**** like this. I know for a fact that when Google unveils (if they do) those 5 rumored Nexus devices off-contract, I'm leaving Verizon, i'm done dealing with and getting screwed by "the man"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firehazard:
I haven't seen anyone mention or ask this yet and searching didn't bring up anything...

When using the GSM car dock, can you use your phone for navigation with the screen on max brightness and not have a net loss in battery charge? This is a problem I have when connecting my gnex to my car's USB port, but I hoped that the car charger would send more juice.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
The dock and charger that come with it charge at wall charger rate (1amp). That is as good as it gets. Will probably still lose a little battery with full brightness and nav on though.

Droid-Life posted about two hours or so ago, actually is what brought me here, and I ended up buying it lol

$68 isn't bad considering you won't have to reconnect and disconnect the wires each time you get in the car, plus it charges at 1amp, unlike other chargers only doing 0.5amps

I even just loaded up the official car home apps, I'm ready, should be here Monday lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dlaciv12:
Sorry, this thread is huge and the search sucks. Could someone link to the apk's mentioned above?

Another LTE owner chiming in. Car dock works fine, it's just those stupid buttons get mashed and it's a PITA to take out.

The pogo pin deskop dock won't work with the lte version unless you sandpaper down the left half of the dock + edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spleebie:
Do you have the OEM extended battery? Wondering if the lte phone will fit in the car dock with extended battery...

How about fitting the CDMA/LTE version into the car dock with a standard 2100mah extended battery?

Also has any one tried the landscape dock with an LTE version and an extended battery?

GTFO! Right on, thanks!

NICE! Extra thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckeegan:
I can't wait to find out confirmation of this, but honestly, if I'm able to charge regularly in my car, I won't have as much use for the extra 13% battery capacity that I do now without the car dock.

Sure hope it works with my GNex though, since I just hit the order button! Been waiting a long time for a car dock for this thing.
