on the cr s650, you have options re what the phone does when docked: dock mode, app and do nothing. when you choose dock mode and the screen pops up, you still have the possibility to cancel (just press the "x" at the lower left) and go to your normal home screen - which will not be in landscape mode, btw.

all in all, i remain happy with my dock. it has a few quirks, but they're not any worse than the various quirks of other electronics equipment i own.
[HTC One X] robstunner:
a normal micro USB DOES NOT FIT. Fyi. Just tried it wont budge.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
It does, I have done it. Make sure it is angled properly into the slot. Also you may be putting it in upside down, as it looks deceptive. I can upload a photo if you really need proof.
[HTC One X] robstunner:
Damn. Foot in mouth. Now I feel like an idiot for buying a flyer ext-usb cable. But it charges faster you say?

Dock mode is a choice.... it can be set up not to go in dock mode, however its easy to operate phone in landscape mode when docked. In case normal USB cable is used, home screen will not go in landscape mode.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Hi, I assume it charges quicker because the HTC Flyer charger has a higher rating - I think something like 1.3 or 1.4 Amps (as opposed to 1 Amp on a standard HTC charger). I don't know how much power the dock draws but I would assume the extra power of the Flyer USB charger is to accomodate that. Otherwise, why would HTC have not just used micro-USB?

I'm sorry, this just isn't correct - where did you get this info from? Perhaps I am misunderstanding - you are saying that if you use a standard charger with the dock then it won't go into landscape mode? When connected with a standard 1 Amp micro-USB it works normally and enters dock mode (or landscape homescreen) - why wouldn't it? The Flyer charger is just micro-USB with (presumably) extra pins for the extra current, it doesn't do anything magical. Again I have tested this myself by connecting an external micro-usb battery pack (left my original One X charger at work).
[HTC One X] robstunner:
damn, so your saying that ext-usb cable wont do anything extra if im just using a standard HTC charger?
[HTC One X] robstunner:
It looks like using the originally supplied with phone charger and cable with the dock, it still looses charge while listening to music.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Do you have the screen on at the same time and do you have live wallpaper running? Even the supplied charger can only just maintain charge if live wallpaper is running. Haven't tried it myself for extended periods on a 1 Amp charger, but as you have described it sounds like the dock is really power inefficient.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
Perhaps some confusion has been created. My understanding is phone will go to landscape home screen mode in following conditions only:-

1. Using HTC Car Dock cable

2. Using HTC Desk dock cable

3. HTC Media Link (Connecting to Media Link also makes home screen in landscape)

Other side of the above two cables can be any charges- AC or Car or Battery Pack, however the pins needs to be different on phone side so it can go to landscape home screen mode. I never could make home screen in landscape when using normal USB cable on phone side.

Hope the above is true.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
That is correct. Sorry, I thought you were saying that with the dock using a normal charger it would not enter landscape. In addition to your list, an mhl cable also initiates landscape.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
Correct- I am only using the three products hence forgot about the mhl cable.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:

You are right, certainly the behaviour has changed. Since we in India got the update today, noticed it now. The screen does not dim now and turns off, though it is turning off not after usual time limit set for normal mode but after DIM time set in dock mode (still testing). I would also like to have the screen stay on in dock mode dimmed!!! and not go to sleep. This is a kind of let down among all other good things in this update.

If you are able to control the behaviour through tasker, please do share the profile/context etc or steps. I would also like to do the same.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
have you tried setting display to never turn off? it could be something of a pain, because while the phone is undocked, i assume you would want to limit the time the display is on when the phone is not in use. but i think there is a widget available that would allow you to manipulate that.
[HTC One X] hanvie:
I have set the display to never turn off when the phone is charging. This means it still turns off the display when it is not charging, but when it's in the dock the display stays on and is only dimmed after the time period you specify in the settings, just like before the update. When you use the normal USB charger, you have to turn off the display manually of course. A little inconvenient when you have just gone to bed and as you turn off the lights you realize that your phone keeps illuminating the room, but I can live with that.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
good tip. gave you some thanks!
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Just a heads up, my $30 dock came in today. :D
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Cool, am I right in thinking that's only five days after it shipped? Whereabouts are you located?

Anybody else got any info on delivery time? My pair shipped Aug 27/28, be nice to know what to expect... The delivery estimate of Sep 21 to Oct 4 is frankly insane, and I haven't been given a tracking number.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
It is not behaving in the same manner. I am not able to get the same effect of Dim Screen as earlier with this setting. With tasker too I am not able to achieve the same result though there is Night Mode option in Display in Tasker. Tasker is able to identify dock mode, hpwever screen is not dimmed to same level as earlier. At minimum brightness is 0, not going lower then that. Manually pressing the brightness button in dock screen it does really dims the brightness as it should.

Any suggestions....
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Yeah, give or take. I was shocked and didn't know what the hell it was.

I'm located in Kansas City, US.

Charging showing as USB

Guys.. did anyone notice that after upgrade to sense 4.1 charging through dock is showing as USB charging instead of AC charging, though dock is plugged in AC? Any views... please.
[HTC One X] 99RedB:
I've seen that, though it seems to relate to the way it's been put in the dock. Giving it a quick wiggle side to side always seems to fix it.
[HTC One X] nikc0069:
Ie does it go to dock mode and happily play music and ui sounds through dock?
[HTC One X] Ian_79a:
Sorry if this has already been said I've read though a few pages but not all.

Is it possible to use a mhl adaptor in line and get hdmi out put with this dock. be good if you can and I don't see why it wouldn't work
[HTC One X] machine7:
Just measured the resistances for you. Not sure if you got the information from the other topic linked below your request.

Anyway, the resistance between 4 and 5 is 47K ohms

Between 3 and 5 47K

Between 2 and 5 1K

Between 3 and 4 94K

between 2 and 4 48K

Between 2 and 3 48K

Hope that helps.

Got mine yhtough amazon

It took about 5 business days to receive instead of the one month lead time given at ordering. It's great for 30 dollars. Just had to buy a converter for the UK plug. Man it's so big. So far working great.

It there a way to change the clock. Would like it bigger. Hard to read once light dims at night.

Also is there a place to buy just the replacement cord with USA plug? I was hoping USB cable would work but the end is completely different.

Thanks

I always use gentle alarm ,you can set the color of the digits ,the size of it ,a lot of ( nature ) sounds ...rising sun .. choose internet stream, pre - alarm and many other things ..
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Micro-USB fits. It may look completely different but it is compatible.

It is great for $30, unfortunately it still costs £50 in the UK (thats about $80). How the hell does it get exported from the UK to US and then retailed at less than half the UK price?
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i doubt it gets exported from the uk. probably from china or taiwan but meant for the uk market originally.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
This happened last night in the dock (and prevented my alarm going off this morning). Phone went in the dock with 40% battery remaining and slowly drained to 0% overnight. The power use graph is a linear decline. It drained far quicker than if it had been unplugged completely, even though the screen was off. The dock is indeed suddenly showing as USB charging (not AC). It is so weak that when the battery is completely exhausted the orange indicator slowly blinks. I have had to plug into another charger. Pogo contacts are clean. Perhaps there is a fault with the dock. I will test this evening.
[HTC One X] E:V:A:
Thanks, good job, that helps.

Interesting, then the values are probably not checked by HW but in SW. What is "Sense 4.1" ?? (I don't have a HOX, but need to help elsewhere...)
[HTC One X] hanvie:
Sense is HTC's customized launcher/UI.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Six business days here and no sign of anything yet, nor any tracking number. Did either of you receive a tracking number, or even an indication of which country the docks were shipping from?

All I have so far is Amazon's uselessly vague estimate of 25 to 31 days for delivery, and a mention of "Royal Mail", so likely shipping from the UK.
[HTC One X] EdwardLotz:
I did not get a tracking number. I looked up the the company info on amazon and saw the location. Can't remember if it was hong kong or not. But so far everything is working great.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Hong Kong hasn't been Royal Mail since 1997. ;)

I didn't see an address listed for the company, but did see some feedback comments suggesting items were received from the UK...
[HTC One X] cruzin_cruzing:
Yup confirmed from the UK:

Email from the seller of the $30 listing

[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Count yourself lucky, five-day folks. I'm up to eight business days now and still no sign of anything in today's mail. At the earliest, it will now be two weeks after the order was placed before I get anything, and mail from the UK usually takes only 4-5 days.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
my dock came via royal mail from the uk and took 12 days to arrive. the most frustrating part was logging in to my parcels app and continuing to see the message pop up that it was languishing in new york. who knows whether that's true or not. but it did arrive and worked out of the box, no real issues. hopefully the same will be true for yours.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Wait... You got a tracking number????
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i ordered from mobilefun when the price was over $70 u.s. for that i think a tracking number was warranted. the vendor said 5-7 days for delivery, if i recall correctly. took 12 and once the item hit new york, there was no updating until it was delivered! that part was really annoying.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Ah OK didn't realize you were talking about a different retailer...
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
Dock is perfect, it must be something to do with new update where they have slowed down the charging. It is definately charging slowly, however not to the extent as u mentioned. I keep my phone on dock almost full time, either in office or home and it does charge to full. I also keep screen on through desk clock application which is loaded after 15 minutes of phone being on dock (controlling through tasker)
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
It's working again now but it always displays USB charging in the settings. However, if you unplug the power connector and replug it while the phone is still docked then it will display AC charging. Perhaps the sudden drain issue I had was caused by some background process eating more juice than the dock can provide.

They've definitely made some significant changes in the last update:

Before the update I had problems with background hiss. It went away somewhat once I cleaned the POGO contacts. However, since the update arrived, the dock is totally silent. That is until you play some audio, when significant (and irritating) background hiss starts. When you stop playing audio the noise stops abruptly after about a second - like the phone is turning of the electrical connections for audio when nothing is playing. So basically it seems HTC have eliminated background noise when idle, at the cost of audio quality and (possibly) charge current.

Incidentally this is what happened when the dock went crazy overnight last time:
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
My docks showed up today, and so far, I am extremely disappointed.

* I do not recommend doing business with the $30 seller on Amazon. To say the packaging was insufficient would be the understatement of the century. The boxes for my two docks were loose in an extremely thin bubble wrap envelope that could have fitted four docks. The result was predictable: both boxes were badly crushed.

* The docks themselves have fair construction, and as noted by others come with UK adapters with cables permanently attached to the adapter. I'm running one dock with the provided adapter and a US to UK outlet adapter. The other is hooked up to my standard phone charger along with the USB cable that came with the phone; it fits just fine.

* Unfortunately, with the bundled (extremely cheap, as others have mentioned) plastic insert trays that come with the dock, the very slightest touch on my phone is enough to cause crackling, radical changes in audio volume and bass level (it sounds as if the dock has two or maybe even three speakers, and one or more stops receiving signal), or even the audio to stop working altogether. Touch the phone again in the right place, and the audio comes back. Press down hard on all four corners of the insert, and the audio seems mostly OK, but still crackles or drops out somewhat. Remove the insert altogether and the phone fits--but sits slightly crooked--in the dock, and the audio is much better, but still drops out a little. Both docks perform identically.

* The stock dock app is beyond appalling. I was planning to use TuneIn Radio, but it doesn't seem there's any way to add apps to the stock dock screen. You can change the wallpaper, and that's it, as far as I can see.

* My chosen launcher--MiHome--doesn't recognize the dock and rotate. That's the launcher's fault, I'm sure, though.

* I've already had four "insufficient power to charge" warnings, when I wasn't even using the phone or was literally only browsing the Play Store, and didn't have it on full brightness.

* There's a frequent, heartbeat-like pulsing sound when using the phone with no audio playing, once every second or two. It's not just when you're touching the phone, but happens for a while after the last touch.

If the situation doesn't improve in the next day or two, these may be going back to Amazon.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Update: OK, with the stock charger, these things are beyond useless. I've just tested restarting my phone, and with not a single app running (just the MiHome launcher and the stock settings screen), no sound playing, and the screen on minimum brightness, I can actually watch the battery level falling in front of my eyes despite the charge symbol being displayed.

It can't even provide enough power to sustain an idle phone on minimum screen brightness at the same charge level, let alone charge it.

Oh, and when in the cradle it simply ignores the screen timeout set, so you can't even have the screen automatically disable to save battery.

Next up, to test the bundled UK charger and see if it does any better.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Agree with mist of what you said but it changed for me when the 4.0.4 update came. The screen now turns off according to the dock dimming setting. I don't get the heartbeat sound anymore (although the white noise is awful when playing). And charge rate is worse. Are you on 4.0.4?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yes, I am. And it seems like--although the notification light illuminates when the phone is switched off and placed in the dock, and the lightning bolt symbol is shown on the battery in the notification bar when switched on-it simply doesn't charge at all. The battery drained to where the phone switched off, and I've reseated it in the dock twice since then, but after several hours it still has insufficient power to even start up.

This is using the cable that came with the phone, and the same charger I've always used. Next up, to try the bundled UK ac adapter.
[HTC One X] scotte9999:
Yes (in case you didn't see a reply before). CM10 works just fine with the dock.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

FYI, Expansys has open-box docks for $20. I picked up two, and other than the box itself being beat up, the dock/charger/manual all look effectively brand new. Shipping was just a few days.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
At $20, it's just *about* worth it. Both my docks have issues with the insert sitting straight (I'm going to have to stick them down with double-sided tape), both of them have issues with connectivity (even the lightest touch on the phone when in the dock causes crackling, speaker dropouts, charging to stop, etc.), both make annoying "heartbeat" and buzzing/humming noises both when touching the phone and sometimes when not, it's tricky to take the phone out without dropping it because of the poor design, the phone buttons don't dim when in the dock even with the screen on minimum brightness, the lack of speaker and HDMI ports is utterly ludicrous, the button shape / throw are terrible (especially if you have to use the insert, in which case they're almost impossible to press), the volume step size is far too coarse (from loud to off in one button press is just stupid) and frankly it's just an all-around poor design.

They're pretty-much good for charging (so long as you position the phone carefully) and listening to music (so long as you have a playlist or are streaming, so you never need to touch the phone between tracks). That's it. They're useless for anything that requires you to touch the phone without interrupting audio or charging, and the heartbeat / other untoward noises are very noticeable even over my PC fans etc., and would be downright anger-inducing in a totally silent room.

Whoever designed these should be sent back to design school.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
My experience is with dock is not at all what you mentioned. It charges perfectly, screen goes off after set time. Wall paper can be changed, there are three applications on the dock screen which can be set as per your choice, so tunein can be set there. Long press on any one of application (by default there are three) and you can choose your applications from the list. If you are looking for more, add applications in your music player. A total of 9 applications can be added to Music application and these can be started from dock.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
The charging problem was solved by using only the chargers bundled with the docks. Other chargers won't work, even with the stock cable bundled with the phone.

The audio problems all persist.

And I'm sorry, but the stock dock app is pathetic. What genius decided we wanted three apps/widgets only, and anything else we wanted we'd have to pretend was a music app? It was designed by a mental incompetent, there's no two ways around it.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
then don't use it buddy. It is not necessary to use dock application. You can always set it to "Do nothing" when docked,so you will be on your normal home screen as in normal phone operation in landscape mode. Personal choice, I like dock application since I have access to everything I want to use while the phone is in dock....
[HTC One X] 1earful:
have to agree that setting up the phone to work well for me while in the dock was somewhat confusing. one thing that irritated me slightly was that i wanted my phone while in the dock to serve as a bedside clock, as well. took me awhile to figure out that setting the phone to never sleep while charging was the setting i needed to keep the screen lit.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I don't use it, buddy.

That doesn't mean I can't point out it is a sick joke of an application.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
What seems a sick joke might not be so for other users, its a personal choice and preference. I like dock application and use it effectively. Most important is the choice which we have between regular home screen, dock screen, car dock application or any other launcher application which we want to use when docked.

HTC Dock after JB Update- Stock

After JB Update (Stock), there is no sound from bluethooth headsets when phone is docked. Media is playing only through dock speakers. Is any one experiencing this too, or there is some configuration I am missing? Is there any way to force bluetooth output through Tasker or any other application. It is somewhat a let down after all goodies of JB.....

OTA update issues with CR-S650

I have similar problem however I am not using that cradle with BT...

Previous OS works fine.. both music and phone call have been transfered through cradle speakers.. now after the upgrade (JB 4.1.1 Polish version)

1) music comes from cradle speakers

2)phone call voices comes from loud speaker from phone(phone is connected in the dock of course)

3)phone ring (incoming call) comes from dock(cradle) speaker

4)some buzzing is hearable during music playing like noise

5)charging working fine.

I have issued that problem to htc support as far as I know them there will be no answer

Just to clarify.. few days ago (friday previous week) with previous system everything worked fine., I left my office(means left cradle too:cyclops:) and on saturday update appeared so I changed system , when I moved back to office on monday I foung above problems

Aby hints to cope with that...?

thx
[HTC One X] yulik:
I have similar problem, but no solution.
[HTC One X] akhil8377:
As per HTC, this has been done intentionally. Though as a user I would have preferred to have the option left to users. I prefer media sound coming from BT even if docked.
[HTC One X] hanvie:
I received the JB update a couple of days ago and now I noticed that the phone display is turned off after the usual timeout when the phone is docked. Previously I prevented this by turning on the option for the screen to remain active while charging (don't know the English name for this option). This option is now deactivated and blocked(!) in the screen settings. Any idea what might be the reason?

It's really inconvenient because I cannot see time, missed calls, messages etc. without pressing the power button and the power button is not easily accessible when the phone is placed in the dock.
[HTC One X] hanserson1:
Is the dock mode initiated when your phones are in the cradle? Since I updated to Jelly Bean it does not enter the dock mode anymore once put in the cradle.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i also just received jb and have not noticed this problem. in settings/dock mode do you have the dim screen option set to "never"? seems to work.
[HTC One X] Adiost:
30 pages? tl;dr

what about fixing hissing and other marvelous sounds coming from the speakers when using with a naked phone (without official case)?
[HTC One X] hanvie:
It does, but then the phone will not dim the display. I want it to dim the display automatically after a certain time period but not to turn off the screen and not to block the phone so that I see time, received messages, etc. and I don't have to draw the unlocking pattern when the phone is docked.
