I don't think so. The only time it will do the sleep of death is if I push the power button on the dock. I have run for a few days with both Franco and Lean with no issue, it is only when I hit the button that there is a 7/10 chance it will lock up.

I am still open to trying another kernel so I will flash something new tonight and give it a go tomorrow.

Sweet, didn't know there were a bunch of doc options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Using GSM Galaxy Nexus, stock Jelly Beans and stock ICS 4.0.4, never had this issue, can turn the screen on/off as many times as I wish and it always work fine, no sleep of death...

By the way, I've used Franco Kernel in both JB and ICS and it also worked fine with that kernel... Nowadays I use the stock kernel.

My dock has been working pretty well, but I recently had the included car charger crap out on me, so I bought a new, different one from Amazon. When I plug my phone directly into the charger, it charges in AC mode, but when I put it in the dock, it only charges at the USB rate. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avinyc:
It's back in stock on the google play store, but geez, I had no idea the price would be $10.50 for shipping and tax costing me almost $70?!?

Since this UK seller has it for less than $54 including all costs, I wanted to know how your dock was working. Any issues with the car adapter or anything being that it is an international/UK version instead of US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whiplash000:
My last post says it all. It works perfectly! I'm running a rooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus. As soon as I put it into the dock it fires up Car Home Ultra. It's great!

...except for the part where it occasionally hangs (sleep of death, sometimes it restarts on its own, sometimes I gotta do a battery pull) when I put it into the dock. I'm chalking that one up to CM10's nightly builds being a bit wonky.

Be extra-careful not to nick or (in my case) melt away the inner rim of plastic near where you need to carve to get the volume buttons to work. It's bad for the resale value! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avinyc:
Thanks for the info. and tips, just ordered one:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onetraakmind:
I'd highly recommend NOT purchasing any hardware from the Google Play store. They will NOT replace defective devices after 15 days. You would expect 30, but read the terms. I learned this the hard way. I am now the proud owner of a useless, defective Gnex dock, despite reporting that the dock was defective within 30 days. Been going back and forth with Google, and they eventually just stopped responding to my emails.

Others on XDA have reported the same problem with phones and accessories purchased from the Google Play store. Glad I only got stuck with a broken dock and not a phone. I dunno how Google expects to compete with Apple--they provide no customer service on products sold in the Play store and they take days or weeks to respond to emails.

Buyer beware, I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanhooah:
Did you try talking to Samsung? They're the manufacturers, so you might have better luck with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onetraakmind:
Yup...thanks. Going down that road right now.

I've always been a hardcore supporter of everything Google does, so I was pretty disappointed by my experience with the Play store. To add insult to injury, their tech support was pretty snarky in their emails. They need to vastly improve the Play store and their customer service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brownel02:
Not sure if it is a CM issue because I have been having the same issue (sleep of death) with both CNA and Axiom ROMS (unless both are based off of CM). I posted a few pages back. Tried a bunch of kernels and still no fixie. As you said though, it works very well except this little issue. I like the clean install and no wires to hook up each time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlv3:
The seller linked in the OP has it for £49.99... or about $80. Where are you still seeing it for $54?

UPDATE: this UK-based ebay seller has it for that price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170906912709

Is there a Verizon car dock with three pins?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antob125:
No. But the international version on Google Play or Amazon works. Just need to shave down where the volume rocker is a bit and it's perfect. Been using a while now on my VZW GNEX. I'm happy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanhooah:
Does yours charge USB or A/C? With the charger that came with the dock, it wouldg charge at A/C rate, but when that died after a month, my new charger won't charge faster, even though my phone will charge at the faster rate if I take the dock out of the equation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlv3:
No. You need to buy the GSM dock and then modify it - as discussed in this thread. It's what I just did.

Mine just arrived last night (from the play store) and I used a tiny chisel to extend the space above and below the volume buttons. My Sprint Galaxy Nexus now fits fine. I also used a knife to trim the lip in front of the volume and power buttons, so that I don't accidentally press them when inserting the phone.

I've got the Google's Car Home and Car Dock applications linked from the first post, and it's working great so far. I also used the Car Dock Settings app to automatically enable bluetooth whenever in car mode.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

One thing I should mention, because I wasted some time on it and didn't see it mentioned in this thread.

Before I modded the dock, I inserted my (Sprint) phone just to see the how the fit was. It immediately went crazy with lots of "shell has been denied Superuser permissions" messages. Eventually it prompted me to send email with a debug dump attached.

Took me a little while of searching, but I eventually found this was being generated by /system/bin/bugmailer.sh, which will get automatically run when USB debugging mode is turned on and you hold down volume down, volume up and power. And with the unmodded dock, that's it held down those three buttons when I inserted it.

(I eventually found this http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNexus/comments/wjka5/screenshot_issues/)

Of course, modding the dock eliminates holding all three buttons down.

(I still haven't figured out why Superuser denied the shell permission)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
Wow thank you so much

For the sake of looking through these pages can someone post the amazon link for me? I would be very appreciative
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanhooah:
The Amazon link for what, the dock? As far as I'm aware, it's on the Play Store and maybe some European reseller websites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
I know its on the play store but I want to find it on amazon. Much cheaper you see
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanhooah:
Probably, but it's not likely to be in Amazon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avinyc:
I bought mine through ebay as recommended by whiplash000 in their post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31969256#post31969256

The price was $46.94 + $5.62 shipping = $52.56. My order came to $53.77 with paypal's exchange rate, so that ended up being much cheaper than the base price of $54.00 through google play.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boskone:
Got mine, made a few quick mods, most everything is working well. I had to shave a bit off the volume down end of the volume button, and a bit off the front side of the volume up end.

The sole problem I'm having so far (that I've noticed) is that I cannot take calls over the aux jack. They default to the phone speaker. Music, various system sounds, turn-by-turn voice instructioons, the phone ringer all work, just phone conversations. Running stock for VZW.

Anyone had this issue? Anyone know a fix?

Car dock back on the play store if anyone still needs one!!!

Sadly no desk dock, but I have both I got off amazon.

Actually what is the function of pogo pins in phone? It is just to tell hey dock I'm now attached to you and you should activate car mode or any function?

BTW does the pogo pins is using for charge also? Looking replacement for my true garmin GPS for my car, and also is there any apps that can set when will the battery is going to charge for example when the battery below 20% then it start to charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wej1976:
The pogo pins in the car dock tell the phone that it's docked in car charger which can instigate the car home app (if installed) which then puts the phone into a friendlier to use 3x2 large icon display mode. it also charges the phone. I'm not sure by default you could stop the dock charging your phone until it hit 20% you may need some other software to do that however with the rate that using satnav and the screen been on burns through the battery I dont think you'd want anything other than instant charging whilst on the dock anyway (I use mine daily as the only satnav device)

in addition the car dock has audio out via a 3.5mm audio socket, I've been unable to test this function out as my car stereo doesn't support AUX in, least not externally it might have something on the back but it's a company van so figured best to not rip out the head unit to investigate yet.

It is also as probably mentioned in countless other post a very snug fit and this snugness hasn't softened since getting my dock 4-5 months ago.

Regards

Will
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amders:
thanks for your explaination, btw i don't get with satnav meaning, i mean is it use for car gps or other, because i'm planning on totally remove my garmin nuvi and using phone as navigation device. cause i thought my nexus is more than enough for my car gps replament

Mine arrived today from the UK, ordered it back on Sept. 29th (Sat.) and the invoice is dated Oct. 1st (Mon.) so about 9 business days including the holiday for it to get overseas to NY. I haven't modded it yet for my verizon nexus, but looking forward to using this one. If you don't mind the wait for shipping, I'd say this is better than going through google play.

I've updated to Android 4.1.2 thanks to Bugless Beast (which I can't recommend enough) and I use the dock from the Play Store for my Verizon GNex.

Can anyone confirm whether the audio from the dock is as good as from the headphone out? I read a review that said it was inferior and not usable for playing music... is this correct?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlv3:
I did exactly the same thing: modified the Play Store car dock for my Sprint GNex. I do not see this problem (phone staying in car mode once removed from dock).

I've only had the dock about 3 weeks. I did see this a few times (but not always) after I first started using the dock. I also had some other weird issues like the phone rebooting. I eventually realized that I hadn't cut out enough of the area around the power button on the dock -- and that it was holding the power button down on my GNex while it was inserted in the dock.

After that I cut our more of the area around the power and volume buttons, and I've not seen any of these issues since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timropp:
I bought the car dock when expansys first got them in back in May. Have a gnex from google on t-mobile prepaid.

It's still a terribly snug fit after months, so I was going to trim it down a bit. However, it's just started occasionally going mute. I'm running the audio from the dock into my car headunit's aux input, and once in a while it just goes silent. Hitting the volume or power buttons on the phone don't help. The only fix I've found is to remove the phone and reinsert it, and then it's fine. I haven't tried unplugging the dock since it hasn't happened again yet. I've never had the phone do this out of the dock, so Im assuming here that the dock is what's going silent. However, it could be the phone I suppose... Using Car Dock Ultra, and it's happened to audio from Goog Nav, Goog Play, DoggCatcher, etc. So it doesn't appear to be app related.

Anyone else have this happen? Wanna know if the dock's failing before I take a knife to it...

edit: sound cut out again this morning. Unplugged power to the dock and reconnected it, and audio was back instantly. Does seem to be the dock then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsonicbug:
how strong is the hold?

so ive been checking out this thread and really like the vehicle mount dock available on the play store. I am considering using the dock as part of a project to use my phone as an instrument panel on my moped. I can make a strong connection between my handlebars and the dock, but I could use someones advice on how strong the dock to phone connection is..

anyone use this on an especially bumpy ride and ever have the phone pop out of the dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whpsnp:
There is no way the phone will pop out - at least not if you don't plan on doing any jumps:D

It's a really, really tight fit. In order to dock or undock the phone you have to use force.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdt73:
I am moving over to the Nexus from the S3 (horrible NO SIM error that Verizon can't fix). I currently use the Mountek CD mount, which should work properly for me in the car. Might be a better solution for those of us with the extended battery equipped Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yegoshin:
So I'll post in here because it might apply to the vehicle dock as well in the future.

I was browsing the desktop dock in the play store & instead of showing "coming soon - notify me" sign like it usually does when something is out of stock, it said "limit reached, thank you for your previous order. You have reached the limit for this item"

Now I only bought 1 of those docks ever & it currently doesn't say anything like that for a vehicle dock (I have bough one of those as well) which is in stock. So word of warning for those that might want more then 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Just an fyi for everybody who is annoyed by the fact that music won't automatically pause when you turn off your car or undock, you can use Locale/Tasker plus a plugin to get it to work.

I spent two days trying to figure out how to get Tasker to pause music when exiting the dock mode only to find that Tasker's simulated pause button is just broken. Despite there being a separate pause and play button listed in the Media Control settings, the pause actually sends a pause toggle, which can accidentally cause other active media apps in the background to start playing. To fix it, simply install this plugin and use it with either Tasker or Locale.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sam!:
I use the following:

State: Docked Car

Task:

Entry: all volumes maxed, media control> Toggle Pause (simulate media button)

Exit: Toggle Pause (simulate media button)

No accidental starts on other media apps, although the exit toggle takes a couple seconds after phone is removed and sound will come from phone speaker.

My dock came unstuck from the windshield, fell, and came apart. I have the plastic plate that's maybe 2" x 1.5" that goes directly behind the phone, the arm, the part that the phone clips into, and a hemispherical piece that goes in the back of the dock part. I would (obviously) like to re-assemble this all, but can't figure out how to get it to stay together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
Just wanted to throw my two cents out there... After fidgeting with the 3 pin dock for a few months I finally just said screw it and bought a Proclip dock with a built in charger. I'm WAY happier with the Proclip than I ever was with the 3 pin. Much nicer product even if it charges the old fashioned way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frigidazzi:
I'm hoping that since the new nexus has wireless charging built in that we can now get a universal car dock with wireless charging and not have to worry about buying a new dock each time we get a new phone if we want it to auto charge (which is the reason I buy official car docks).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrew025:
Does it hold well in landscape? It says it can swivel but it specifically mentions it holds it upright for better reception or some crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whpsnp:
I've only ever had it in landscape. Didn't cause any problems of any kind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
Yep, I only ever have it in landscape and it works perfectly. The tilting mechanism is great and overall I'm WAY happier with the dock even though I'll only use it a little bit since I'm getting a Nexus 4, but as soon as one is available I'll order a new mount for the Nexus 4 as well since I was so pleased with this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NaturalBornHaxor:
Wow, as of yesterday or so, Google Play says "Vehicle Dock is no longer available for sale." They only had them back in stock for like 3 weeks! Ridiculous. Think Google's inventory will end up somewhere, perhaps at a discount??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsy87:
So I finally took some pictures of how I mounted my dock.

I purchased a vehicle specific pana-vise vehicle mount and then took apart the dock so I could extend the wires from the dock portion to the circuitry. The power is hard wired into my fuse box and the audio is connected to the aux-in my vehicle's stereo has.

I'm considering getting the proclip mount this week. I'm just fed up with the poor fit and functionality of the GSM car dock with my Verizon phone. Did the ProClip Mount you got have the built in charger? If so, when you place the phone in the dock does it trigger car mode? The proclip rep i spoke with yesterday said that their docks will not trigger carmode, but i was wondering if he was possibly wrong. I know with the HTC EVO, and i thought all android phones, you could trigger car dock mode by simply shorting two of the four wires on the car charger. Will this work for the GNex? If so, i would just modify the charging cable to connect those two wires and it woudl know it's in car dock mode immediately when placed in the cradle.

Looking forward to hear more about your experience with the ProCLip mount/dock. Can you also post some pictures?

Which dock did you take apart? The GSM Pogo pin dock? I love the mount, but I'm unclear on how to adapt a given dock to work with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
Was about to offer to sell you my mount since I'm getting a Nexus 4 next week but I see the GSM and Verizon Galaxy Nexus use different mounts.

I got the one with the built in charger and it works fantastically. It DOESN'T trigger car mode though. I don't know about shorting the wires like you described, I haven't heard of that option before. What I did was just put an NFC tag on the mount and use NFC Task Launcher to launch Car Mode when I insert it. The disadvantage is I have to manually exit car mode but it's not a huge deal for me.

I'll try to get some photos of the setup this week.

My dad asked for a dock for his verizon galaxy nexus, and I'm not sure what is the best to get. I'm looking for something that charges automatically (unlike the official samsung mount that you have to plug in the charge cable after locking the phone in), and is fairly easy to swap into different cars when traveling. The only one with built in charging I could find was the proclip one, but it seems like you have to mess with a bunch of screws each time you install in a different car.

I would have considered modding the official GSM dock but it's no longer available on google play and doesn't seem to be selling anywhere else either.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spartanhooah:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
This happened to mine too. What happened is the threaded rod ripped out of the hemisphere piece. You have to epoxy the threaded rod (which is probably stuck in the adjustment knob) back into the hemisphere pieces. Then hemisphere piece goes underneath where the plate usually is (use the notch for routing the cable) and then the plate goes on top.
