[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Okay, I found this one which no 3pin connection but has a micro USB connection:

http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=319507&eventPage=1

Anyone wanna be the first guinea pig and write us a review?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T4rd:
I'm thoroughly impressed by Samsung's (lack of) ability to ship any official docks after this flagship Google phone has been available for over 3 months on Verizon and 4 months for the GSM variant. I mean I had a custom dock for my Voyager dumb phone a couple years ago on day one. This has just been a total and complete fail on their part.

I caved too and bought this decent universal mount. I needed a universal mount anyways since my wife has a Rezound and I wouldn't want to switch mounts every time we switch driving. That mount couldn't be easier to use. With my Cruzer Lite case, it snaps right in and pulls out effortlessly. You can see my review of the mount on that page too (March 13th By "Chris") if you want me to elaborate on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] descendency:
It could be the release date of Android 4.0.5. There is a rumor circulating that it's a software problem holding up the release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
Not a rumor. Fact. Samsung has directly told multiple people (myself included) that pogo accessories will be released once Google updates the gnex so it will function properly with them. Hopefully the update arrives soon. Apparently testing on 4.0.5 is going quite well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
How does this explain the release of the POGO Landscape dock samsung released a few weeks ago.......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
They mistakenly released it then quickly pulled it. The rep told me (and others) that was a mistake and that it wasn't supposed to have been released until the software update was out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takeagabu:
since they haven't pushed OTA 4.0.3 yet, I am not holding my breath
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imompero:
I have this dock, it is pretty good, its also known as the ibolt i believe i got it on android central and it wasn't as expensive as listed. Also it does not have a usb connection, it has a clip that you can attach your cable too but not a port of any kind....I like it though. works with and without a case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
with some very easy modifications, the galaxy nexus will fit almost perfectly into a moto droid x or x2 car dock. you can't use the micro usb connection included in the dock but the dock does not block the micro usb or the audio out ports of the galaxy nexus. you can charge and connect via cable to radio while it's in the car dock.

i was looking for a car dock and noticed that the dimensions of the galaxy nexus are about the size as the droid x/x2. saved me some money in having to buy a new dock until the 3 pin dock is finally released.

i installed the carhome and carhomelauncher apk's and i have the whole car dock experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I know nobody can find one with the pogopin charger, but are you guys having trouble finding a good (non-generic) car mount period for the GNex? I got mine off of ebay and I love it:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windscreen-...Accessories&hash=item33714fad14#ht_1976wt_922

Cheap and fits the GSM perfect (not with the extended battery though). It has a cut out for the camera as well as for the buttons and usb port. It's in my offroad vehicle which I beat the crap out of and everything stays where it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imompero:
Pretty sweet looking sucks about the no extended battery and also only for GSM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Don't hold your breath as we have heard this before on multiple occasions with no results.

We've been disappointed enough times on this thread that we'll need a lot more than that to even think it may materialize.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
...and let's see if your theory holds true:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
Wow, no love for CDMA Nexus' owners. Verizon is freaking horrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Now that 4.0.4 is rolling out, how long do you think it will take before we will see the re-addition of the Pogo Dock to Samsung's website? :D I've been waiting for this forever!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SNaReX:
If you remember on expansys-usa webpage, it had been written that Car dock would be available at 4th of April. Now they removed that statement. Nothing is written. I think they changed it after the release of 4.0.4 ?

...but I have serious doubts to the validity of his/her statement. We should all paint our expectations for this dock with a light brush dabbed in pessimism. That way, when it FINALLY comes out we will be pleasantly surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErismaSS:
difference in width between gsm and cdma

Hopefully they are saying the dock isn't compatible due to the approx thickness difference of .5mm(its not the software update right?)...just a company covering themself against possible complaints, lawsuits...especially with the possibility of the phone dislodging while you're driving... I have to imagine the material that is being used to make the dock has .5mm of give or play
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellesshoo:
Not sure if the ~12 second delay from when power is applied at the docking contacts to when it starts charging could be the software issue some are speculating about but it's still present in 4.0.4 AOSP build, unfortunately (charges immediately with stock 4.0.2 but since 4.0.3 AOSP this annoying delay became present). That's not to say the 404 OTA won't behave differently just thought I'd relate my experience with the new AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
When have we heard this before? I do not recall a single time yet that Samsung has back pedaled on something they told us. And I'm talking about Samsung directly here, not a third party retailer.

Are you calling me a liar? Or are you referring to what the rep told me (and several other people)?

And let me clarify, I am not saying yes I guarantee it will come out when 4.0.4 is released, I am saying that Samsung has said the delay was because of the software issue. That was not a rumor. That was a fact (the cause of the delay). Now if they decide to say screw it we are giving up on this and never release any accessories, that will not change the validity of what I said, which is simply referring to the cause of the delay up until now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Don't get your knickers in a knot...everyone is just tired of hearing "fact"and are likely at the point where the proof is in the pudding. When it comes out it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volsey:
Not sure if this has been posted or not, or maybe this is already old news to people that had 4.0.2.

Anyways I went straight from 4.0.1-> 4.0.4, and noticed there is now an additional setting under system settings called Dock. Again this wasn't in the 4.0.1 that I previously had so if this is old news I apologize.

Not that I really have my hopes up, but fingers crossed for an April release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brownel02:
This has probably already been mentioned but I recall reading an article/review of the desk dock with the pogos, done by Jerry Hilderbrandt of Android Central. In the review he says he hooks up his stock nexus to the dock and it does not work (well or at all). He then goes on to say that he builds a 4.0.4 ROM from AOSP and tries it and it works remarkabely well. Point being after reading this is that I believe, at least for me, this confirms it is a firmware issue. I like and trust Jerry as he is a solid android member and has nothing to gain by writting the review. Just my thoughts as I wait for the 4.0.4 Codename ROM and the car dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErismaSS:
Question then...why would the verizon model be singled out for not being compatible? Are software updates released to the CDMA and GSM models at different times? I'm willing to believe that it is a software/firmware update for the GSM model that is causing the delay, but only for the GSM model. Guess I kind of wish expansys or samsung would say, the verizon models are not compatible due to "blank" ie software/firmware, or the physical dimensions...

I'm not familiar with what sets the GSM and CDMA models apart as far as software/firmware....and any possibility that would indefinitely rule out the verizon(CDMA) model from being compatible...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takeagabu:
Yes, software updates are not at the same time. They released the 4.0.4 to the GSM version and not the CDMA version. I'm completely wildly speculating that Verizon wanted a car dock ASAP, and it was clear that the pogo dock wouldn't be ready, so they just released the piece of plastic. If this is the case, I would further guess that Verizon/Samsung is waiting to see how the GSM dock will sell before they decide to make a CDMA one. I would not be surprised if the GSM one works perfectly with the CDMA phone, but we'll have to wait and see.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Months ago I pre-ordered the GSM dock from clove.co.uk and had subsequently cancelled it, but they are still sending me updates. It seems there is no news.

"We are emailing you today to give you an update with regard to the Official Samsung Galaxy Nexus accessories that you have on order with us at Clove Technology.

We have received numerous dates as to when stock will arrive to us here at Clove; but we are yet to receive any physical stock. We would love to give you an estimated time of arrival, but at this current moment in time we can not, Samsung have not provided accurate dates.

We appreciate that it is frustrating for you as it is for ourselves. We want to get these accessories out to you as much as you as the customer wish to receive them.

We hope to receive stock in the coming weeks and hopefully we will not have to hold on too much longer. We will update all customers once stock arrives here at Clove Technology.

Many thanks for your patience; your custom is greatly appreciated.

The Clove Technology Sales Team."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
I'm surprised no one has posted a massive update saying that the vehicle dock is finally being released this week.

And then said April Fool's.

Because it's never happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZEUS:
That would be too obvious and nobody would believe it! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
I wonder how many people like me are starting to seriously lose faith in Google lately. The number of unfixed bugs, incredibly slow or nonexistent enhancements, and promised but never delivered updates across their many products including Android is really starting to get old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
Go get an apple device already. Then you'll find out its the same "lack of constant attention for me" there. But at least then you'll be locked into the itunes ecosystem so then you'll make yourself think that Apple is the best regardless of what reality is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
I despise Apple and everything they stand for.

I guess I could just be like you and just enjoy whatever bull**** is fed to me and never complain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
Haha at least we agree on apple!

I never expected this dock. I did the palm inductive charging mod on my seidio case and have never looked back!

It is sad that the official dock is taking forever but it's not like they ever promised it to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takeagabu:
What promises has google made?

Google has a bunch of problems.

1) Unlike Apple, they do not make the phones, so the final products are very reliant on the manufacturers.

2) Unlike Apple, Google/Manufacturers do not have clout with the carriers who force restrictions and bloatware.

3) Unlike Apple's ios, android has to be adaptable to run on countless devices with countless hardware configurations.

And yet they still manage to make a couple phones that are better than the iphone.

So, there are rumors that the verizon galaxy nexus is going to be going straight to 4.0.5. I think it's just wishful thinking. Google has said they they no longer wants to support CDMA phones and guessing it has to do with that.

Many of the problems that came with ice cream sandwich stem from the fact that it was a drastic redesign. The manufacturers had to put in a lot of work to wrap their skin around it. Plus they realized that the average android user does not know much and if their phone had a drastic change, they wouldn't know what to do with it. And so they tried to make ice cream sandwich be more like gingerbread. Either way, this doesn't have anything to do with the galaxy nexus. I think ice cream sandwich was rushed in for the holiday season before it was ready, and things did not go well with Verizon.

Either way, I have started to come to terms with the fact that I may never see this dock and should make one on my own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZEUS:
All this talk about a CDMA (Verizon) version of the dock and why it's delayed....what about the GSM version? I could care less about the problems with Verizon...why is the delay carried over the GSM version too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takeagabu:
Going by the info in this thread (that the pins line up and both versions fit in the verizon dock) I am assuming the GSM dock will work for both (assuming the verizon version is updated at some point), and so that is what I am waiting for too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZEUS:
I hear ya. My point however is it seems the delay with the dock for any version is because of Verizon (CDMA). I am willing to bet there are more GSM versions of the Nexus around then CDMA and so IF there is no problem for GSM versions, why the delay for the GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErismaSS:
GSM dock release delays

Apparently the GSM version is being help up by updates to ICS. Exspansys, a site supposedly carrying the unreleased dock, specifically states that the dock is not compatible with the CDMA version. While apparently software/firmware updates are officially released at different times for the two different versions, I still think its a physical dimension difference for CDMA version .5mm in thickness (and software/firmware at this point). So hopefully the CDMA version will still fit(pogo pins lining up?) If it was simply just a software/firmware issue with CDMA, I don't think it would have been singled out from the GSM version. Of course I have read (here or someother forum) that Google isn't going to support the CDMA version anymore which is FALSE. Also had a post reply regarding a rumor that there was some kind of "~12 second delay from when power is applied at the docking contacts to when it starts charging" (only in 4.0.3?).

So ah long story short, software/firmware for the GSM version...wish they would just release it and slap a stupid beta version on it and purchase at your own risk or disclaimer or something, but this is product control. Of course stupid people would complain about every little dumb thing, then crash their car into on coming traffic and attempt to sue the site they bought it from, google, samsung, the DOT, Jesus, Budha and Gandhi...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErismaSS:
annnd my rebuttal

well I can't post links but search android community, or search google with "google not supporting cdma google nexus" it is the second article down "Google clarifies CDMA debacle: still supporting developer phones..." dated Feb 6 2012

here is an excerpt

"Google has updated its initial statement on Google Groups, reassuring device owners that they will continue to support the software even though it isn’t being posted to the AOSP repository"

and

"Finally, we will of course continue to work on improving support. If we can resolve these issues, we’ll certainly restore CDMA support to AOSP. In the meantime, we’ve updated our docs to be more accurate about the degree of support."

and finally...

"Google claims that they will continue to support CDMA phones to the best of their abilities, particularly when it comes to the binaries that developers need. They also hope to restore CDMA support to the Android Open Source Project at some point."

whatever that means...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takeagabu:
I think the problem was confusion over when I said they do not want to support CDMA phones. Theoretically they would like to support everything, but "these issues" make it hard to work with CDMA phones. I wonder if LTE will overtake CDMA before they resolve the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
I wish engadget would fix that damn article. Google is only stopping support for CDMA devices in the freaking Android Open Source Project (AOSP)!!!!!!!!!

The main reason is because of the signing of certain CDMA specific packages.

Google will still be responsible for delivering updates to the CDMA versions of the phone, and as such, we will still be getting the Google Developer experience. We just wont have the AOSP support since the signing of packages gets a little wierd from CDMA authentication on their network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
this would be a shame. don't want wireless audio, especially since it's so sense less when the dock and the phone are connected.

my self made, 'duck tape dock' works just fine, but i want the stable, fitting original dock cause it's much more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
The biggest bummer is that I bought it from Verizon in somewhat of a hurry before work (my own fault) but it looks like I might pass the 14-Day return policy before/if this new one comes out. Unfortunately because I travel to a different place everyday for work, I rely on GPS on the phone so I need to use the garbage they sold.

I'm HOPING Verizon does that right thing since they've treated me right in the past, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
Have any canucks actually seen this car dock in stock at any of the Bell stores or have received one from bell.CA?

I called my local store and was told it had to be ordered in. I asked how long it would take and was told I'd get a call back. Guy never called me back..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
They are not available in Canada yet. I ordered one from Bell and a day or two later they emailed me saying they were on back order until the 3rd week of Jaunary
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
I used the N1 car dock for a couple years and it does connect via bluetooth, but it might as well have been cabled because it worked fine (aside from making my phone extremely hot). I'm guessing that it would require at least 4 pins to transmit data.

Also I was really disappointed when I saw the VZW dock in person. As stated before, it's a $40 piece of plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riden1mp:
Yes you do. This is most likely to prevent ground loop isolation problems in the audio signal. If both the phone and speaker amp in your car are powered by the same source (the car) its going to introduce noise onto the audio signal. You'll hear the whine of your alternator or a constant buzzing through your speakers as you listen to your music. By splitting the audio transmission wirelessly from the phone then back onto the wire coming out of the dock, this prevents that. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaulBack:
One of my fears about this dock was just that, the whining. Good to know that the wireless will prevent it. Now I just need the dang dock. Samsung/Verizon will release one for the US, right? What are the chances that they will/won't? It seems like I'm always waiting around to give Verizon my money...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duckunix:
I just submitted one...let's see if they post it. :)

Side rant: I wish people who design web forms would bother to read the freaking specs on the things they are trying to validate. Grr...could not use '+something' in my email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Has anyone that's received theirs yet been able to test and see if it will fit the LTE version? I'm not buying into Verizon's $40 plastic scam lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbluhm:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Wait, what?

I'm glad I have yet to unbox my car dock. I'll be returning it and waiting for the real thing to become available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takaides:
Not only web forms... Quickoffice Pro just updated (a few weeks ago) and unintentionally dropped support for users that use +something in usernames (for other services like dropbox!). I opened a support ticket and was told it would be fixed... but it hasn't yet. As for workarounds for your issue, you can always slap a random period in before the @ sign; assuming you're using gmail (/Google Apps).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I'm looking for something because I'm finding that AUX IN + POWER = hissing noise in my car. I don't know if it's the phone passing through the noise or just a combination of things.

Plus I also have to plug/unplug power+Audio jack all the time + driving = dangerous. Would be nice to just slap it in and call it a day. I really wanted to buy one for the Nexus One and by the time I got around to it, I was looking at other phones. I said to myself that the next Nexus I buy, I wanted the car dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lithoss:
You need one of these:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bstringy:
@thatguy188, does Carhome detect when the galaxy nexus is put in the dock? I'm wondering if there is anything about the verizon dock that prompts the phone to go into car mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tct08:
For those of us looking at the dock from Fommy, I emailed them to see if it was the good one and this is what I got back:

Hello

Please be informed that SKU: 93056 (Samsung® (OEM) Vehicle Navigation Mount) will be available from 01/23 onwards. Also, this dock is absolutely compatible with Verizon version of Samsung Galaxy nexus but it does not have 3 pin charging connector.

There were some confusion related to this product initially however, we have corrected the description and image as per the actual product.

Anyone else having any luck finding it elsewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
update: HTCPedia is awesome! without even needing to ask them, they stop shipment on the crap holder and credited my paypal once they too realized it was the pin-less piece of rip-off poo :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VKaz:
I wouldnt have an issue with the car dock that i purchased with the phone if they had a working Car App that i could use while driving. As soon as google makes an official car home app, i will be a happy camper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhilgeman:
Google does make a car home app and you can push it to your phone if you're rooted, but Car Home Ultra from the market is the best Car Home app out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VKaz:
I tried it out, and the only thing that made me uninstall it was the fact that it would go back to my regular homescreen when i would hit the home button. It got really annoying having to constantly hit the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mi|enko:
That's not enough if it's analog connections. Remember, you can get full internet with streaming audio via 2 copper wires alone. . .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rookie_One:
Back on topic my friends :cool:

with the release of 4.0.4, anyone think that it will finally get released ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
This is an easy one.....Nope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrZEUS:
Were we even off topic?

I think I read somewhere that updates will go straight to 4.0.5 and skip 4.0.4 altogether? Is this true?
