Please check my thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511747 as I have figure out an alternate... and easier method to get the same thing done. I have also figured out how to set the default OS that the TP would choose while booting up after the UImage has been deleted.

To the OP, I am not trying to hijack your guide and thread. I think this guide is very helpful. I mean no disrespect to you and the time you spent creating the video guide. I am just presenting a new and different method as well as a step that I think you did not go over in the video.

Thank you.

http://androidcommunity.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-desktop-dock-available-from-samsung-20120221/

Looks like we're finally getting some official accessories from Samsung themselves. And as the article states, it clearly lists compatibility with the Verizon model. Is it too much to hope that the elusive car dock with pogo won't be far behind?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JKChad:
I'm an accessory junkie, but that price is not even close! I don't need to use the 3pin connection that bad.. Damnn..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juvenall:
For a desktop dock that doesn't do a data connection, $40 is my upper limit and even then, it would have to be awesome. My $15 upright dock I found here and picked up from Amazon is still working just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
Those have been the rumored prices all along. You're paying for convenience.

I'll be buying both the desk dock and car dock thats for damn sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toms73novass:
This is the one thing I am quite disppointed in Samsung. The Accessories should have been available when the phone launched. One of the reasons I purchased the phone was for the quick pogo connection, I hate having to plug and unplug usb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lblacklol:
It's a little pricey but I really like the idea of not having to physically connect the usb. I just bought this..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NJ6EPI/ref=oh_o00_s00_i02_details

Very happy with it so far, but it does require 2 hands and a bunch of monkeying around. I would like this dock but $89.99 on top of the $20.99 I already spent on the other one makes the whole thing a little expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LionAR10:
This dock has a "line out" port on the back, so like the Pogo car dock, I'm guessing it'll be a Bluetooth dock (maybe with autoconfigure with the middle pin of the pogo?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veli69:
Must not order..... ordering ..no. yes .... arghhhh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soulicro:
This has got to be a joke - 90USD for a freaking charging dock? Anyone buying this is, with all due respect, a moron. Value your money people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp92180:
Pretty crappy if this is truly going to be the price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlschweiger:
Extended battery?

While it does seem expensive, there's not much detail listed. Anyone find any info on the compatibility with the extended battery & cover for the Verizon GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djbutter:
*sigh* I miss the time when Google partnered with HTC, made the excellent Nexus One, and launched it along with a pogo-charging, bluetooth-media-connecting desktop dock, which cost $45.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imompero:
Can't believe this is $90, looks like I am going to buy some legos and build my own
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GatorsUF:
Yea $90 bucks is insane...

Hopefully some aftermarket manufacturers will make a similar dock for a good price...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
I wonder if that is just the "Samsung" price. And the actual retail price will be lower?

I pre-ordered the dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus and it is "only" $60. Which I thought was a bit expensive even at that price.

Hopefully the street price of the CDMA dock is also lower than the suggested Samsung price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
I ordered one yesterday and it will arrive on Monday, probably the most expensive accessory I ever bought. Coming from the Thunderbolt, whose official dock was 50+, it is a lot. However, the constant plugging and unplugging of the Micro USB cable takes a toll or your micro USB port.

I like to keep the phone in good condition, since I usually sale my phones after a year or so to trade up for something new, so I might be able to get $50 for it when I sell it. All in all I need a dock, and I'm tired of waiting for these other stores to start selling. I will probably have to stay off the Starbucks for a couple of weeks to recover that extra cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
sad, but seems to be true:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
I'm under the impression that this dock is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and not the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voodooboy3000:
I think I will stick to the vertical one from ebay, at least I can also use my MHL cable out the back of it for when I install Ubuntu

Here £6.99
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I could justify a car dock for that price since my car is my office, but there's a difference between justifying it and being willing to pay it. For people that would actually use it every single day for a good amount of time, I can see why someone would pay that much over someone that just wants a dock to charge it on while they're sleeping. It's still pricy though.

At night, I use the plastic dock/holder thing that comes with the Verizon spare battery charging kit. Pop the phone on there, plug a charging cable in, and put it in Clock Mode. It works just fine for me.

$90 is really steep. I know Samsung said that they were waiting on response to decide what accessories to make, but they should have inquired about price point as well. If it's any consolation, prices will come down with time. I guess I understand the business aspect of it, I know that at least the LTE version will probably never be a big seller, but it sucks non-the-less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theherodrownd:
I value my money and I would purchase this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] push2flush:
can you post a video and impressions when you get it, looks like its already on backorder again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
Dock is here.

Fits extended battery, no problem.

Does not seem to consistently go into Dock mode.

Does not come with any power adapters.

Comes in a ziplock bag.

Have not tried audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
Pics of the dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
No power adapter? Cheap bastards. For $90 you would think it would. Audio cable too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] push2flush:
did you get this from samsung.com ? it says in the description you should get a power supply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serpp:
Odd that no power cord came.

Straight from the samsung website.

Package Contents

Multimedia Desktop Dock, Micro USB A/C Power Supply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
Yes, straight from Samsung. I got 4 docks in ziplock bags with a little Desktop Dock paper insert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfuzzie23:
im guessing no chance of it fitting in the dock with a TPU case on right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
No chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Wow that went out of stock quick. Mine is being delivered to the house, so I will post my reactions to the dock sometime this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlschweiger:
Extended battery - Samsung rep statement

I'm interested in the dock but now you're saying no power adapted (website says opposite) and I just got off the phone with a Samsung service rep who says the dock only works with a standard battery & cover. This is a cluster...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EYEramid:
I was watching soom reviews and they said that the external speakers turns off when in the dock

Can someone that has it test the alarm clock and here if it goes off

Thanks

Also does the phone ring if the speakers are off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kami585:
Has anyone gotten audio out working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Dock First Impressions

Ok I just got home and did some quick test of the dock.

1. Build quality is great, it does not feel like a cheap dock, and for $90 I would expect at least that. No, it does not come with cables but I had already bought some OEM cables and adapters off eBay for like $5.00 so no issue. I am still using the standard battery, which I think gives me plenty of battery life and I use my phone skinless only with a pouch (SPG Crumena) so I cannot comment on the extended battery or skin fittings

2. The dock changes to clock mode when it goes into the dock regardless if it is in timeout mode or screen is on. I didn't find any issues with the phone not going into clock mode when inserted into the dock. If you have it enabled it plays a notification when the phone is docked and undocked.

3. The audio out works fine, I tested it with some head phones. The headphone jack on the phone is covered when dock so you actually have to use that port.

4. Yes, audio will play from the main speakers if nothing is connected to the audio out.

5. No issues with alarms when phone is docked.

6. The phone goes into a landscape mode when the phone is docked, looks kinda like the Tablet ICS, so you can operate your phone docked in landscape mode. This actually does not work when the phone is not docked. This is kinda cool, and it also lines up the icons correctly, something ADW Launcher did not do to well when operating the phone in landscape.

Other than that I'm out $90 but I think it does what I need it to do.

Edit: I am running AOKP 4.0.3 Build 26 Rooted, it seems there maybe some docking issues with the Stock 4.0.2 Build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
That's weird about it going into car mode instead of desk mode like the nexus one. I wonder if that was the software problem Samsung purportedly talked about. Hopefully it will be addressed in an update. I'm anxiously awaiting mine from expansys for my GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
The phone does not go into car mode when docked. It goes into desk mode, which basically just shows a clock, which can be dimmed by tapping on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
Are you stock or using one of the new ROMs?

4.0.2 is hit/miss on docking on VZW, and it will usually trigger car mode when it does go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Interesting point, I am not stock. I'm running AOKP 4.03 Build 26, so that could make a difference. So maybe 4.03 fixed some docking issues in 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alee:
And now we know why there are still no pogo accessories from VZW. The accessories have been ready for a while... pogo pin compatibility didn't work until 4.0.3.

The fact that accessories are starting to show with pogo pins probably suggests 4.0.4 release is near.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaviD202:
Can someone try the USB OTG whit this dock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
I don't think the Pogo Pins carry data. Its not a straight pass through like if you had the phone docked directly into a Micro USB port. So I don't think USB OTG would work, but someone can try..I don't have a USB OTG cable so I can't test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kami585:
Audio out / dock mode wasn't working for me on stock 4.0.2. Flashed Apex running 4.0.3 and it works fine. Must need 4.0.3+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
Thats interesting. I wonder if thats why accessories have been delayed. I doubt it but its just a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] push2flush:
Android central mentioned that you cant listen to audio while in the dock unless you use the line out, can you tell me if you can hear alarms without any kind of headphones or speakers plugged in? i'd assume you can but with all of the delays and everything you can't be too sure..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kami585:
I hear text sounds and alarm sounds through the phone with no headphones plugged in. With headphones plugged in it goes to the headphones.

A couple more things I noticed... the phone sometimes will go to sleep even in dock mode. This is annoying because the unlock button is on the bottom, hidden by the dock. Not a huge deal since with a custom rom you can set the volume buttons to unlock phone.

Also the audio quality through music is crap compared to plugged the headset directly to the phone. I think google music's built in bass booster might be getting disabled because I can't change the settings when plugged in. May just be a software issue.

EDIT: Played around with CM9 nightly. I noticed when playing sound out the dock, I could only effect the audio using the speaker setting, not headset. Interesting..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IgCkZpXHgM

that may answer your questions, the guy says it even fit VZW with extended battery, so guys with GSM GNEX can use also extended battery, :)

the pogo pins are on the same place, but the back on VZW is fatter, so I'm not sure how GSM variant will sit there, on the other side, we see that there some gap even with VZW version, maybe they did that to fit any variant?

GSM w/ ext battery

VZW w/ ext battery?

BTW they do talk about no sound, and that kind of stupid, what if you use it as an alarm clock? maybe it really fix in 4.0.3..but common 90$? my BB Dock cost ?

my old Sandisk Fuze dock was like 15$ made by Belkin and it can charge/transfer files and have AUX..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
UPDATE !!!

UPDATE !!!

http://samsung.de/de/Privatkunden/M...BEGSTD/accdetail.aspx?atab=compatibleproducts

http://samsung.de/de/Privatkunden/M...BEGSTD/accdetail.aspx?atab=compatibleproducts

the VZW is EDD-D1F8BE

I only can think of 1 difference, the VZW have more space, as I also can fit extended 2100 battery.

the GSM version with extended battery maybe have a size of VZW with stock battery.

they sell it for 70 euro

http://www.samsungmobilestore.de/detail.php?id=7444f180-8cee-40be-9d9a-5c4f1000d82e

WTF???????????? 70 euro? WHY?????? no really retail of 70 euro? what have they thinking? will wait to buy it from Amzon or e Bay then ..

Expansis still have it for $59.99
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richman21:
I received the dock last night. I'm on VZW. Charges fine, does not go into any kind of mode. Car, desk mode.. nope. I'm stock unlocked and rooted. Tried the standard battery, nothing, extended battery, nothing. Does not send audio through the line out either. I've rebooted but not resetted, anyone know what the problem might be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
This whole situation is disheartening. I thought for sure us GSM stock users would have one working accesory by now. We are still on 4.0.2 over here in Europe...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kami585:
I had same issue with stock GSM. Had to flash a custom ROM on 4.0.3 to get audio out and dock mode to work. Even still the audio is not the same quality as plugged into the headset jack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
So does the GSM version have different size for the device?

hope to get answer soon, I actually think, maybe there no 2 version at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
The dock has some issues if you run it on 4.0.2 this has been confirmed by multiple users. Seems like 4.0.3 fixed the bugs when putting the phone in the dock. This is probably why it was delayed for so long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kami585:
Update: Bought a Fiio E6 off amazone for $29 and the audio quaility is back where it should be. So at $120 to get this thing working the way I want it but it is worth it over plugged in USB and Audio 10 times a day at the office.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richman21:
I was thinking of flashing 4.04 to see if it helped, but never flashed a ROM. I've rooted and unlocked a few times, but a little hesitant to flash a ROM. I never done it before.

I have CWM downloaded and used since I am currently rooted and unlocked. Does someone have a link to find how to flash back to stock VZW CDMA just in case I screw it up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gpaulu:
You can make a nandroid backup without permanently flashing cwm or rooting. Just flash cwm and run a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richman21:
So I flashed 4.04 and dock works just like it supposed to. Brings up the clock mode when first docked, then pressing the back button brings you to the desktop mode. Line out works perfect. Been streaming Slacker for 20 minutes without any cutouts. It's not the dock that is the problem, it seems that it's a software update that is needed.

Thanks to everyone that suggested a newer version of ICS make the dock work correctly, now I don't have to send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcrandom:
Sounds like the "line out" jack on the back really is a line out, not a headphone jack. Guess I'll plan to add an amp when mine ships. I was thinking of a Fiio E7, but it only adds 4dB of gain to the analog input, so maybe I'll wait for the E17.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Actually many docks there have a line out, not hp out.

how soon we can expect lower prices ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
Sad part is this phone is what? 4 months old now? What's the life expectancy 2 years or less? Most people will be upgrading/switching to a new phone.

When manufactures don't come out with these accessories at phone launch, each day it gets harder to justify as it's EOL marches closer.

At least that's my 2 cents. I'm always much more likely to buy the more expensive (aka non ebay) accessories around the time of purchase, not months after.

And $90 bux is overpriced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Yeah if you look at Google release history, they have released a new smartphone like clock work every year

Nexus One January 2010 Eclair

Nexus S December 2010 Gingerbread

Galaxy Nexus November/December 2011 Ice Cream Sandwich

So when you really think about it, the Nexus will be old news soon. For people like me who can't afford to purchase new phones like that, I purchase good accessories and keep every box and plastic wrapping, so I can sell the phone on eBay for a decent price.

I figured Phone, Dock, Case, and like 4 Power adapters would net me at least $350 - $400 towards something new once it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djras111:
So... Now Samsung has pulled the dock from their website. I guess they built a few hundred and sold them all (in a week) now they are gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Wow that's crazy its seriously gone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psosmith82:
There probably just pulled until the 4.0.4 software update is officially released, since you need that firmware for the dock to work properly.

Watch, now people are going to try to sell them on ebay for twice what samsung wanted! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Damn. I should have got one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richman21:
I called Samsung after receiving the dock and asking for a refund and asking tech support was there any tricks to getting the dock to work correctly before I updated to 4.04. Yesterday I got an email from the woman I spoke to at Samsung. Here is what she emailed me.

Take it for what it is worth. Yesterday was the first day that I used the dock all day and it worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Boo. I already have 4.0.4.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
A month? How is it the dev community can fix entire operating systems in a few days after leak, but it takes google a month to fix one issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcoy82:
Nobody said they would be releasing 4.0.4 in a month. How do you know it's not 4.0.5 or 4.0.6 or *insert random ICS version here*?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Ohh so that the problem ...bugger, why bother to advertise it, if the software not support it, and start to sell it now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richman21:
Now that I have enough posts, I can post a short video I made to show that the 4.04 update works perfect with the dock.

70 euro is a joke. That has to cost 10 cents to make.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsymyn:
I agree, the price is crazy. But I expect it'll drop to closer to 35 or 40 before too long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Just wait for OTA for 4.0.4..as they said before, it released to soon, so people anyway not buy it till it officially work with the software part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBank:
There was a leaked document just last week that mentioned 4.0.5 and no sign of .4

I'm in same boat as you...so I hope it at least .5...just bc I'm an update ho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcrandom:
Expansys date changed

For those watching it there, the Expansys listing for this dock is still quoting the $60 price and claiming i515 incompatibility, but the availability date has now changed from Feb 29th to March 15th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abandoner:
"WARNING: Product NOT compatible with VERIZON edition ’Galaxy NEXUS i515."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
The thing is...Sammy have some event on March 15, just saying..:D:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tct08:
So what happened to this? No longer looks like it's available from Samsung's website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serpp:
cliente re-trous

Yeah it was no longer available just a few days after it went on sale. Either they sold out of their first run or they took it down until the next android update comes for the phone (since it doesn't automatically go into clock mode when you dock it with the current version).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richB7:
I put in an order for this thing the day it was available in February from Samsung but I got a backorder so I called this morning to check on the status and they no longer have an order number for me even though I have an email with the number on it plus they tell me there is no dock for the Nexus. Then they hung up.... Great customer service Samsung.

Update: Called back and they now tell me the pogo dock was removed because the phone wouldn't function properly attached to the dock and in landscape mode so they are waiting for a fix from Google before they release it. Another month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
I just got the email that my dock is ready to order...and then it doesn't show on their site. It was canceled... Sigh. I hope there really is a fix and they're not just canceling the product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
Where do order this dock from?

Is this the same dock? http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...c&utm_term=EDDH1F8BEGSTA&utm_campaign=froogle

Thats the cheapest price I found, says available March 22nd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
I just got off the phone with Samsung and it appears that when the dock was officially taken off the inventory list, everybody who had one backordered was mistakenly sent the "ready to purchase" email. Apparently they have had over 80 calls on this so far..

Now for the good news:

The representative did verify that they are waiting for the OTA soak to occur before they make the dock available again since (as we found out) there are bugs in 4.0.2 that create audio issues. He assured me repeatedly that the dock would go on sale again just as soon as the software update went out. He didn't have specifics on when that OTA would push however.

Awesome. At least they are finally coming. I really want the horizontal pogo-pin dock. I've had it on order since early Feb. but, I might just go with the HDMI dock. I really don't have any use for hdmi at this time but it is more "bang for your buck."
