Another point of info....

My International version (far east) HOX (CID _044) after updating to 4.2.2 / Sense 5.0 will now only Charge at USB rates when in the

CR S650 Dock, and the screen with not switch to landscape, nor will the HTC DOCK app launch.

This all worked perfectly prior to the update, although most of the time I would have it set to off (Settings / Dock / Do-Nothing)

because the older software would take so long to dump get out of dock mode when a call came in that I would miss calls.

After updating, and setting it to launch the dock, it does nothing Nor can I manually force that dock to load.

Cleaned my pogo pins and contacts, and still nothing. I'm thinking this has to be a software issue.
[HTC One X] XtheOne:
Sense 5 does not support landscape mode, I have made a version which does, but you have to have your Phone rooted and install lyapota's modpack.

Since you disabled dock mode it stays disabled after the update, go into the dock app and change settings.

My hox shows charging on AC when in the dock.

I remember that I had the problem that the dock did not work anymore, but that was a problem with the charger.

I bought a TC-E500 as replacement and it worked again.

I also had the problem that my hox did not work in the dock after it had been repaired, returned to the shop where they reseated a connector inside my hox and that fixed it.

When I put my hox on the cr-s650 cradle the volume for music is maxed out and when lowered goes back to the previous position. Even with cradle's volume set to low it doesn't sound well. Any way to deal with it? I have viper rom installed at the moment.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
No guarantees, but I've had numerous problems with my cradles and volume or audio distortion issues, and they're fixed by unplugging the dock from the mains for a short while, then replugging it. Apparently, something inside these things is flaky and causes issues after a while, which surprises me not in the least considering the otherwise poor design.

If that's not it, well... good luck to you. HTC's abandoned the HOX and HOX+, and as far as they're concerned you likely have no warranty since you unlocked it and installed a third party ROM. So all you can do is try different ROMs until one works, if one does.
[HTC One X] tuxmanbr:
For the record, It is all pointing to be a hardware issue with my phone. Maybe a drop had broken something into it or I have a faulty unit, I don't know. But I have even open it and track the Dock power inside the board. It is not working at all to me.
[HTC One X] Bigopigo:
Same problem here.

Hi, makakam.

I have the same problem as you. As soon as i stick it in the dock the hox volume gets maxed out.

Did you find a solution?

CR S650 issues

Hello Bigopigo and Makakam,

I'm facing the same volume and landscape issues.

It sound like a software (ROM) incompatibility/problem...

Few months ago my dock station had the sound stopped.

I put another post on XDA but with no suggestions.

I decided to test the speakers and found the problem.

Speakers were replaced and sound is working 100% but still with volume issue you reported.

I hope HTC provide a new update with these issues fixed...

Regards !

Measure Pogo Pins, NO RESPOND !

Hi Folks,

Think HTC has totally abandon the pogo pins for HOX+ International (s728e) or at least most region.

Because I just physically test the pins with a multimeter for both Voltage and Resistance and I am SURPRISED + SHOCKED !

Thought I have a old faulty HOX+ but brand new HOX+ got the same respond and what respond (even during charging with micro-usb)?

Voltage: All 0 volts

Resistance: No respond (Not short-circuit)

This conclude to me that physically no connection and wiring is made to the circuit and battery inside the phone to this pins.

Because for HOX, measure pins 1, 2 and 5 will get 5volts, 1.8volts and 0v(grounding) respectively while charging.

Even when no charging (with >80%) pins 2 will get 1.8volts respect to ground.

BUT for HOX+, NONE of this measurement are present regardless of charging or not charging.

Don't know why HTC do this but recalling the company history, think it's cost cutting at those period and Dock Charger / Cradle are not so popular (for most region).

Software issues should only cause some function features to be gone / disabled but definitely not charging since it can be software independent.

Kind of frustrating to know this and make legacy accessories "suddenly" die for a marketed upgrade version of HOX.

If there are significant changes to hardware connection (like Apple dock connector) then it doesn't matter as users be blind not to see the differences BUT no connection and wiring that is out-f-bound to users is really a lousy excuse should HTC expect us to "read the fine print".

Hope this resolves some of the pogo pins issue raised here....
[HTC One X] tuxmanbr:
Hi GoRiLaz301.

I've reached the same conclusion as you. In the process I've broken my HOX+, because I've refused to belive that HTC had suddenly abandoned the pogo pins and killed the accessories. It's unbelivable!

I've done the same measures with same results. It's a shame!
[HTC One X] GoRiLaz301:
Exactly!

Thought my HOX charger is incompatible to HOX+ due to some "real" software or hardware upgrades.

TOTALLY Underdog in a sense, kind of felt cheated as the phone is incomplete even though it is brand new.

How can HTC did this by thinking no one will bother or even use the pins for charging and other purposes.

Some advice to get original HTC accessories which proven will be waste of money.

Anyone have ever dismantle HOX and HOX+ to observe and check on the difference in pogo pins area whether is the flex circuit assembly are there?

Now i wonder will this ever going to happen in the new series of HTC ONE phones, worries me.....
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Total nonsense. I am running on the latest software version and the dock works, albeit as poorly as it always did.
[HTC One X] cassio gebara:
Hello everybody !

I´m facing a problem on my CR S650.

Few weeks ago it stoped to work.

Using a multi meter I checked the tension and all pins are energized, but after positioning the HTC One X not is happening. No charge, no sound.

Is there any feature on mobile that can be configured or that can be lost that will explain the problem once nothing is happening on Cradle ??

Best regards !
[HTC One X] magic_moe_:
if you don't want anything fancy: http://www.expansys.com/expansys-usb-cradle-for-htc-one-x-231756/

this should do the job :)

i just bought the car dock kit and am using it as desktop cradle...but the usb cable is power only...no data connection there...also you can't just use any microUSB cable.

and yes, it does go into landscape-mode^^
[HTC One X] vioalas:
Not available yet.

Anyone know if it has a cable to connect to a tv?
[HTC One X] MWilt:
Anyone have any info if/when a US version of this will be available? I only see an EU model...
[HTC One X] vioalas:
May 6th probably, close to that date.
[HTC One X] biggdaniell:
I won't buy the phone until someone releases a Desktop Cradle with pogo pins charging.

Did anyone found something like this? (except the expensive official cradle with speaker)
[HTC One X] BigladUK:
Looks like this is going to be a little while longer

This is a message from King of Gadgets

Dear biglad_uk,

Hi There

unfortunately not. HTC have contacted us today to announce that it has been put back to the 16th.

We are in the process of notifying customers today.

Kind Regards

[HTC One X] Gulioth:
Hey guys, anyone know what's going on with this? Seems to be delayed further as can't find availability anywhere.
[HTC One X] jonnypedantic:
It seems like no one knows what's going on. Expansys lists June 21 as the date it will be available, but I remain skeptical that this date is based on anything concrete. Something similar happened with the Galaxy Nexus pogo-pin dock: Expansys posted a date and pushed it back over and over again. Three months after the phone came out, the dock eventually was available for a mere $90 on Samsung's website and quickly sold out. I don't even know if Expansys or any other retailer actually got any stock, because I stopped paying attention after I threw my $90, plus shipping, at Samsung and begged them to send me a hunk of plastic with pogo pins. This CR S650 is rapidly turning into a fiasco of similar proportions. These pogo-pin docks seem to be cursed. Also, I seem to have some kind of weakness for pogo pins.
[HTC One X] projectkennedy:
Bahhh! I ordered this over a month ago and have yet to see anything, am thinking of just cancelling and getting el cheapo micro usb docking station. I blame HTC. Seems like they just haven't got enough stock and aren't telling the retailers when to expect stock. VERY frustrating!
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
yep i also got a email from amazon saying its YET again delayed, ive had it on pre order for about 7 weeks now and sick to death of htc putting the date back. Im now leaving it to the 1st and then cancelling it for good.

HTC done this last year with the sensation, before that the desire hd, and now the one x, you would have thought they would have learned from thier mistakes and got the accessorys in place at the same time as the phone was released.

Im sure generic docks will be around soon, and i wont have to spend any more money with htc....
[HTC One X] biggdaniell:
Neah, it's not a weakness...it's called "snugness" :P

I have the same "weakness" :D

I'm even more into wireless charging...does anyone know some 3rd party solution to wireless charging for OneX? (I'm thinking there has to be some battery with the technology included)
[HTC One X] MagicMan3311:
on http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007IYHJKU/ref=ox_ya_os_product the product is available. (EU Plug)

i ordered one and will report back if i got it.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Already says out of stock. Be interesting to see if it was ever really in stock.

I'm really hoping HTC aren't going to pull an Asus on this. Asus announced a dock for the Transformer TF101 tablet, showed the design, even gave it a UPC code and list price, so it appeared as a real product on sites all over the web... and then it vanished. No sign of them ever selling a single unit, anywhere in the world. Pathetic.
[HTC One X] Gulioth:
What's all the hype with the pogo connectors etc. and why is it advantageous over micro-USB in relation to docking?
[HTC One X] biggdaniell:
You just put down the phone and that's it. You can do that just as easily in complete darkness (you know...when everyone sleeps and can't turn on the light - actually this happens to me every single day, I mean night).

With microusb docks you need light (lots of it) and you full attention not to scratch the phone (and there's 99% chance you WILL scratch it). There are some better ones which lower that risk but still it's cumbersome to use them.
[HTC One X] BigladUK:
For me it's simple convenience, just like wireless charging, no two handed fiddly docking onto a tight usb connector.

Si
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
im tending to think the same as you now mate, its vapourware!, its not like its a challenge to make a dock but yet HTC seems to make it a challenge,

im given it 24hrs then cancelling the order and getting the cheap dock that has been shown on here and its not vapourware..
[HTC One X] joe_the_man:
Does it cause problems to leave the phone charging overnight? Like, do battery issues develop over time and what about having the screen on all the time?
[HTC One X] biggdaniell:
There are a lot of good reading you can find on this forum regarding this matter but the most important things you should keep in mind for a healthy (Li-ion/Li-po) battery are:

- do NOT keep the screen ON while charging (so an always on night clock is a bad idea)

- charge the phone when it reaches 40-50% and never let it get close to 0% (it's better to charge the phone 3 times/day than once every two days if by doing so it gets close to 0%)

- charge the batteries to 40-70% if plan to store them (don't fully charge a battery if you plan to store it for more than a week or so)

- avoid overheating (obviously)

In an ideal world you should not charge the phone overnight either but this an non-issue really because most phones switch to battery (and even laptops) when the charge is complete and restart charging after a 1-3% drop (your battery will degrade with 1-2% in like 2 years or so because of this compared to up 60% in the same period if you let it "die" on a daily basis).

The way I' using my (almost perfect) T3 HOX (with light to moderate use), it rarely drops bellow 40% after an 16h day (with everything ON), so I'm pretty happy with it.

Have fun!
[HTC One X] MagicMan3311:
yes, it was never available. ;-) so my order got cancelled.

I never believed that they had one of the dock available. but it was a nice try
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Indeed. But still, sorry to hear it! Not just for you, but also for the rest of us -- it'd be nice to see a review so I knew if this dock was actually worth waiting for or not... ;-)
[HTC One X] lblack99:
Desk Dock Mode

Is there a way to force the One X into desk dock mode? I have a friend and he says that his non-oem desk dock only goes into that mode sometimes but not always. Thanks.
[HTC One X] domsch1988:
Search the market for" Dock Simulator". You can choose between desk Dock and car Dock. Works pretty well.

Everybody else has been saying June 21 for weeks now. I'd put money this is just a ploy to get people's preorders, and they roll back bit by bit to ship at the same time everybody else does.

will find out tomorrow the 7th lol

gonna check in the morning
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Step ahead of ya, listed as stock, emailed a contact to see if it actually is in stock this time
[HTC One X] Kickasskev:
Let us know
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Well amazon have pulled it down and listed it as not available...guess that solves that. HTC are absolutely terrible when it comes to accessories
[HTC One X] Gulioth:
"Currently unavailable" lol
[HTC One X] ximonx:
Get one of these and swap the micro usb for pogos (you'll need to make a small plastic nobble to hold the phone where the micro usb socket is as the phone doesnt fit without it.
[HTC One X] sinlooser:
hello, where can i buy the docking station in europe?
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
You can't at the moment it's vaporware - I think most people have given up and purchased another dock now. HTC really messed up with the one x accessorys like the seem to do time and again with new products
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
It always amazes me when companies get this wrong. Official accessories should be the focus: getting them out to accompany the launch means an upsell that has a huge markup, and will make you far more profit than the phones themselves. Personally, I'd have bought a couple of docks and a car dock, plus a case or two at launch, if I could.
[HTC One X] Gulioth:
Same here, even with the price tag. Agreed, they've really missing a trick here...
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
yep i totally agree here, if they had been available at release i would have also got 2 car docks a dock for at home, case and media link.

all Ive actually purchased is the media link, Ive gone to noreve for my case, i have a generic car holder that does the job, and a generic stand at home. It saved me probo around £170 overall and i have got better quality gear (especially the case).

HTC need to learn that a lot of profits come from people like us that adopt early (usually release day) and willing to throw money at all the toys that come with it, no gadget geek likes to wait for their toys no matter how good they are suppose to be, in the end we just move on and HTC have lost a sale.
[HTC One X] recondo1202:
Ditto!
[HTC One X] SousukeUK:
Just a little rant

Ever wonder how Apple manages to sells so many of its handset of one design.

just simply the accessory.

you know one thing for sure when Apple releases its iPhone 5, doesn't matter how inferior it is compared to HTC or GSIII in spec (if it is) it will have both the official and third party accessories all sorted.

And here we are waiting ages for the official accessory which is going the dodo's way.

They even have the pogo point in different location in USA version.

Really HTC! Really! Really needed to further fragment the line up!

Sorry about the rant but HTC has been a real disappontment for last few years with shoddy manufacturing & build quality and lack of accessories.

Don't how long I'll be able to keep my support for HTC going

:mad:....Rant out
[HTC One X] xanaqq:
I've been in touch with HTC, emailed Peter Chou and got my query forwarded to another gentleman who has informed me that the dock will be available for purchase in the last week of June.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Of course, that's what... the fourth time they've rolled it back, now?

Expansys USA are actually listing 6th July now, but then they add a bit to the time as they are selling European gear in the USA, and have to ship it to the US themselves before it can go out to customers...
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i've had this on order since april, along with the one x case that is supposed to work with it. today i received an email saying the case is "no longer available." i hope that's not a preview of what's to come re the cradle. but i won't be surprised if that's what happens. i'm starting to shop for a case and i could end up getting a different cradle as well and finally canceling my 2-months old order with expansys. we'll see.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Which case did you have, out of curiosity?

Might just be Expansys that have cancelled, not HTC. They also once listed the UK cradle for the US market, but then changed and only offer the EU cradle now. (Shame, I'd prefer the UK version, as I'm a Brit in the US, travel to Hong Kong and the UK more than anywhere else.)
[HTC One X] 1earful:
the case i ordered was the htc hard shell with hole - supposed to leave the pogo pins available and permit the one x to sit perfectly in the cradle with the case on. expansys' email implies that the case has been discontinued by htc, but maybe not. in any event, the "substitute" they offered as available is the hard shell without the pin accessibility. useless for my purposes, so i'm getting ready to move on. yesterday my order showed the cradle as available in 9 days, today it says 16. at one point it was down to 11 or some such number and bounced the next day to 43 days. i can do a lot of window shopping in 16 days!
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Thanks! There are several HTC hard shell cases with holes for pogo pins. Every single official HTC case for the One X that I'm aware of is listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26474837&postcount=672

Edit:

Just checked them myself, and the ones they've discontinued are the white, grey, and blue HC C704 cases. The orange is still listed as current.

The change applies on all Expansys sites worldwide that I checked as well as a couple of other minor vendors, so it looks like this is probably discontinued by HTC themselves.

FYI, the orange version that's still available is here:

http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-one-x-hard-shell-with-hole-hc-c704-orange-231450/

Don't know why Expansys didn't direct you to that one; it's supposed to be in stock within a few weeks.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
thanks for checking. orange is not my color at the moment - would definitely clash with the home screen wallpaper i'm using! i kind of expect orange to disappear too, because at this point i suspect htc is not getting enough of a return on these items to justify production. if the cradle comes in, the one x will probably have to go naked except for its screen protector!
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
That's what strikes me as odd, honestly. They got these as far as on the verge of production, at the very least. They've sold some. That means the molds have been made, and that's the expensive bit. After that, it's only a matter of (roughly speaking) dropping the molds in the machine, plugging everything together, and running it for a while with whatever color of plastic you want.

HTC have put the effort and money into designing these, making the molds, getting the SKUs created and passed out to retailers, and now seem to be abandoning the idea, which makes me ask why. Maybe they've decided they're too fragile; we've seen videos posted of them being broken fairly easily. Perhaps a liability thing if somebody buys the case, drops their phone, and finds it offers no protection at all?

We've seen weirder though. Asus made a dock for their Transformer TF101 tablet (and that was not just molds, but some electronics too), again had samples out and the product launched and priced all over the place, then never sold a single one and discontinued the dock.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
well i know zilch about production, but i do know that if you're running machinery and paying for maintenance, electricity and labor, you have to have enough of a return on what's coming off your production line to pay for itself and turn in some profit as well. could be that the same production capacity could turn a higher profit on something else. whatever the reason is, if the dock goes under as well, that will be a big disappointment.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
True, but you're not going to devote the machine to that for any huge length of time. You can churn them out at a fair old rate, then retool for something else once you've got a stockpile built up. Just seems a strange decision to me once the major expense is already made.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i was just in the at&t one x forum and found that someone had posted a link to mobilefun.uk - they do have some of the cradle compatible cases. the cradle itself is listed as not yet in stock. so it's possible expansys has in fact just given up on waiting for the cases to arrive? i went ahead and ordered the grey case, but opinions re its quality were mixed. and it is pricey. i only ordered because of compatibility with the cradle and because i like my phone enough that i hope to be able to use it for several years. going to be doubly annoyed if the cradle never appears!
[HTC One X] Gulioth:
Alternative

Hi all.

Haven't looked for a while for alternative cradles but have just found this one which I think looks smart --> http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1376.

I bought a Kidigi cradle for my Desire (as an official HTC cradle was never released that I could find) and was very impressed with it.

Interesting to see what happens come early July.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i saw a comment elsewhere indicating that a kidigi cradle did not cause the one x itself to automatically display in landscape mode. do you know if this one does?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I have two of these on order with Clove. It was showing "first stock delayed - awaiting updated information" until yesterday. Today it says...
[HTC One X] Gulioth:
Sorry, don't know if the kidigi cradle does this or not, nor does it specify in the product description. Best to email kidigi direct I guess unless anyone pipes up here.
