Holy hell that's a lot of questions for one post! It's like talking to my four year old. Anyway I'll try my best here (numbered in order that you asked them):

If you're refering to the cable I posted probably not since it's an OTG cable with a power in split

I have no idea what the inside of the dock is like since I don't have one but it could probably have it's guts stripped out and replaced by a DIY OTG + power

Yes

I have no idea how throwing resistors into the mix would effect the OTG cable arrangement. Try things out and let us know

I'm gonna stick with the you try it and let us know approach here. It sounds good in theory though.

Pls take a look one post above yours b4 you type "waiting..." :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ccriativo:
Yes! I read it. Sad news...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ccriativo:
Any news about it?

Does any Samsung Mobile, around the world, will fix the car mode? Any prevision?

Infuse dock mods for OTG operation

Just a pointer to another thread where I detail the mods I did to the infuse dock to make it work with an USB audio DAC...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] millzyy:
Best current Mod that works with the Infuse car dock?

Hi Guys,

I know it's totally subjective but was wondering if any JB ROMS/Kernals are working with the Infuse and if so which are the best?

My definition of best: stability, features, speed, etc

I got the stock JB update last week via Kies and charging obviously stopped working with the dock.

Wondering what the easiest path would be in terms of changing ROM from stock JB for the dock to work.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wolfylee:
The Omega ROM + syriah kernel is superb. It's the syriah kernel that makes it work though. The omega rom is largely a stripped down JB - no fancy themes - looks stock.

Got mine today, so can someone confirm it wasn't meant to come with a car charger?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] raglits:
Neither of the two my household had delivered came with a charger and to be fair, it did t specify on the site or the box contents that it came with the charger so I'm assuming that to be correct...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stothy862:
That's what I though :/ I've seen people manage to get a free charger for the universal dock because of this so I am going to attempt to get one for this! I have a generic one to use for now which is not what I want but it will have to do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NorthernNoel:
I've got stock with Perseus kernel. My main reason for switching kernel was to get JB to work with the Infuse dock. Siyah works as well but I switched as it currently doesn't have the SDS fix.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmithyNZ:
@NorthernNoel - Have a look at 1.8.7 :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NorthernNoel:
Ah, apologies see there's an update since I last checked. Either is fine then. If you're looking for basic dock support then it doesn't really matter which you use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fred_up:
Is there a way to modify the i9305 so that it will recognise the power and audio out?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cbr6fs:
Anyone had problems with the connection, i.e. not charging?

My first infuse charger arrived a few weeks ago, but i've been unable to get the phone to charge in the cradle consistently.

It works about 5% of the time.

Spoke with the seller and she sent my out a second one which arrived today.

Plugged that in and the exact same problem.

I've plugged the charge cable directly into my phone and it charges great.

Use the same cable on the cradle though and nothing.

I've wiggled, twisted, pulled, pushed and swivelled both the cable input and base where it goes into the phone, but nothing.

Out of 30 mins faffing about in the garage i did get it to charge once, again i wiggled and twisted it but it stayed on charge.

I then pulled the base out of the phone pushed it back in again and yet again, no charge. :(

I use docks for charging my phone at home and the office and everyone connects straight up, as does every micro USB charge lead i've tried, so i'm confident it's not the charge plug on the phone.

Anyone else had any problems, any ideas please?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bunnybash:
my mate's dock doesn't charge these days either... not sure on what the issue is!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fred_up:
The unit will charge your phone, if you have the ICS rather than JB on the phone - it is basically the old kernel that could recognise the charger. There is an instruction on Page 22 about cutting links to make it charge (but no audio out) for us that have JB on our phones.

It is amazing what you can find out if you have read all the post in this thread.

There are settings in the old kernel that could be modified/entered into the new kernel - but alas I don't know where or how to do such a thing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macgyver2k2:
You can flash a different kernel if you want to keep your 4.1.x rom, i'm using the stock rom with boeffla's kernel (others work aswell). Working just fine in car mode.

Never tried audio out, though.

If you just want to charge the phone, you can shutdown/reboot the phone while in the car dock, and it should charge (never tried myself, just read).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slipudatung:
Audio out works perfect too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Does this infuse dock turn 180 without having to undo the nut behind ie just grab the phone holder and twist or do you have to fiddle about behind? :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] slipudatung:
You have to fiddle but I have mine tensioned just enough so I can swivel it. It comes loose every now and then but not enough to bother me. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Seems a good option for the S3 then :thumbup:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeancheant:
The omega rom uses Samsung kernel and gives me an extended battery life. As I really like the infuse car dock, I tried flashing both the siyah and perseus kernel. They both allow charging with the dock but unfortunately drains the battery twice the speed, somewhat similar to the factory rom this phone came with.

Hopefully Samsung rectify this soon
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Spoke to Samsung this morning about the car mode app missing from jelly bean and they basically said they aren't aware of any issue and if in fact there is one it is with the car dock maker and not them, I tried to explain it was all docks but they weren't having it seems like bad customer service to me SAMSUNG!!!

Sent from my GT-I9305
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slipudatung:
Try boeffla. Also with Sound and governor tweaks galore. Works mint AND speakerphone works for calls while docked. Never worked for me with Siyah on a 4.1 rom.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] consulgt:
This is absolutely apalling behaviour from Samsung on their flagship phone device, and to say they don't know anything about it is a complete lie. I filed a complaint through their online system and had this response...

Customer reference number: 2115421624

Please quote your customer reference number when contacting Samsung

Email response ID: 2113609933

Dear John,

Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Support.

We always look forward to hearing customer feedback and comments.

We are committed to continuously improving the experience for our customers and your comments are important to us.

We aim to have this issue with Car docks resolved as soon as possible however we cannot put a specific timeframe on this.

I've passed your comments on to various departments who will use them to improve the experience of using our products and services. Thank you for your input.

If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

So bascially some words and some phrases about some departments that mean absolutely nothing. I've told them I want a basic dock sending out, free of charge, until they sort this issue out. We should collate complaint reference numbers and hit them with it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an idiots guide to updating the kernel to one that's mentioned here and works?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Also after me requesting to be informed by the relevant department as to what is being done about this problem they informed that there would be no follow up to me personally and I was like dire customer service and to keep blaming specific aftermarket docks is just nonsense, I actually have a complaint I'd but I ain't holding my breath, like someone else said they ain't interested because they ain't gotta specific s3 dock?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
If you want to try AOSP, I am running 4.2.2 Vanilla Rootbox with Car Home Ultra app and it works great. I have the Craigsdocks Dock for S3 and the connector it uses triggers car mode just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zephymobile:
Are there any rom for verizon that has a working car dock mode???
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fjgalaxy:
With Yank555 Kernel I got this dock loading my I9305 and switching to dock mode, but sound still only comes over headphone out not USB.

Who has got a working system?

Which kernels are sure to switch to USB audio?

Do you use a special app to switch (like Dock Sound Redirector)?

Bye Frank
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmithyNZ:
Try new Rom I9300XXEMB5 (BTU). It seems that car mode is back on that ROM ;)

But on the leaked testrom 4.2 FMB3 it isn't. So will be interessing if it's coming back to all ROMs or not.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rickxbox:
I got a infuse dock aswell but i cant get it go work. Maby it is already said but then I must have missed it. I got a international S3 (i9300) with CM10.1 on it. I cant get the charging/audio working. Is it because i have 10.1 running or is it a other problem?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeawhatever:
Got my dock and pleased to say that with new stock rom, it's now working as it should.

I want to do the charging mod that has been shown on here but want to know if it will still be recognised as car dock if I cut that connector? It's working great as a car dock but my juice is rapidly running out!

any advice?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
I'm on a stock S3 using car home ultra, when I put the phone in the dock it launches the app and directs all my calls to my speakerphone, I don't use voice commands or the line out yet but I plan to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slipudatung:
You can't redirect calls to aux. It's a limitation of Android apparently. Speakerphone is your only option without using bluetooth.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] londonmax:
Stedj,

Just bought the infuse car dock but can't seem to get it to work with my S3 (I'm in the UK). I checked for updates but is says that it's up to date:

Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT i9300

Android: 4.1.2

Baseband : i9300BWELK1

Kernel 3.0.31-742798

Do I need to root and install Boeffla or Siyah kernel??

Many thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmithyNZ:
Hey Londonmax,

is your device from O2? If yes, I9300XXELLA is the newest Software. Build is more important than Baseband.

Infuse Dock is working from I9300XXEMB5 again. So you have to wait for an Update or flash a different Kernel like Siyah.

But watch out for your warranty. ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] londonmax:
Thanks for replying! yeah you guessed it, O2 running I9300XXELLA

I would quite like to get the dock working and I'm inpatient, so...

Could I not change the CSC to BTU and update to I9300XXEMB5 or even I9300XXEMC2 following the instructions on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

If I'm worried about the warranty can't I roll back to I9300XXELLA and switch back the CSC to O2U.

Last question, is there anything to gain from being on the O2 CSC vs BTU?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] der_bert:
Just to let you know, cm10.1 now supports dock mode, too.

Thx, codeworkx !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] svemirac50:
I can not play sound on car stereo with cm 10.1 :(

Someone can?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmithyNZ:
@londonmax - should work. You don't have to change the CSC. Also changing CSC will wipe all data including internal SD Card! So be carefull. ;)

i tried to reboot while indid ethe InFuse dock. Charging workrd like a charm :p

The latest stock rom (XXEMC2) has full support for the dock, again.

No reboot needed.

I just tested infuse dock and s4!... And it doesn't fit. It's actually far too big! The s3's round corners are what let it fit in there. S4 is way more square.

Car Dock App and triggering of Apps...

Hello all friends out there! We at iBOLT just made this video available today on the Google Play and also on YouTube. This shows the new Dock'n Drive app and how it works. After a quick drive I am going through the features of the app in painful details:)

If you buy an iBOLT xProDock for Samsung it now triggers the "SmartDock" mode and not the traditional carmode because of the mess Samsung created. The excellent driving app Ulysse Speedometer and CarHome Ultra now also "triggers" if you use a cardock that features the Smartdock mode...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] CyRUS-:
Sorry, but a lot of advertising seemingly solely focused at getting people to buy a new version of the dock... yes samsung caused a mess, but is not fixed and rectified now in the new firmwares??

Does Dock'n'Drive at least work with car dock mode also? (so those of us who invested in the previous ibolt dock for the s3 and have upgraded back to a working firmware can actually use it...)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bunnybash:
Dock n Drive launches instead of Car mode, and does it automatically when inserted into a car dock, the app is free - download it and try it!!! I love it on my Note 2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Loz1:
Well just to let you know if you don't already. Ive just come away from the fox hound rom 4.1.2 which worked perfectly in my infuse unit with my S3. I've upgraded to the new beta jelly bean 4.2.2 and this works fine in my infuse. Ive now used the jelly bean rooted version from max's site and this works fine in my dock. So good news so far. I will wait for the release of the consumer version of 4.2.2 and see how that go's. ( my phone is the S3 international version).

Loz.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ccriativo:

I've installed the XXEMC2 version and the car dock mode is working again! It opens the car mode and charges the battery when inserted at my Infuse 4G car holder.

I hope that this update come for Brazilian ROMs too.

Which of these options work on i9305? will any custom rom running 4.2.2 or higher work. is it simpler just to upgrade the kernel to something else?

Does this dock come with the charging USB and AUX cables or do they have to be bought separately? Can't find that anywhere.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] diktat:
I tried it and it really works. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the automatic switch to carmode when I put the S3 in my in Infuse Mount. Does anyone how to solve this without flashing the kernel?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RaySorian:
Tasker or NFC writer. It was mentioned earlier in the thread how others used them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GPSMapper:
Well to me this means that cardock mode does not work as the phone no longer detects that it is docked (controlled by resistor between 4-5 pins)

Tasker could be an option but it is not a complete solution.

I dock my phone in car in landscape orientation.

With native cardock support:

1. Cardock is activated automatically when phone is docked in compatible dock

2. Cardock app is launched (e.g CarHome Ultra)

3. TouchWiz rotation is UNLOCKED (Touchwiz, lockscreen, stock dialer, startscreens could rotate to landscape)

p.3 is most important for me as I have password protection enforced and entering passwords while phone is in landscape but the screen remains in portrait...is really weird

And there is no easy way to make this happen unless cardock mode is supported natively.

Tasker or CarHome Ultra can force Cardock mode ON, BUT this does not do the trick with Touchwiz rotation....

BTW, cardock mode was "working" on first 4.1 firmwares as well (it was possible to force it on using Tasker or CHU). But Touchwiz rotation is enabled only when cardock mode is triggered natively via compatible dock or charging cable...

Nethertheless the fact that phone on 4.3 at least can be charged with cardock cables/docks - is good already....

Anyway, I will prefer to stay on latest 4.1.2 in that case as I can't miss the flexibility of native cardock support in my car...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RaySorian:
I must be missing something, Shouldn't display rotation in Tasker do the same thing?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ccriativo:
Car mode natively on s3 is SVoice.

Install some car mode, like google car mode (need to find apk).

Enviado de meu XT1058 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GPSMapper:
Well, I have to re-check, but once I was playing around with it 10 months ago, I was unable to force proper rotation of Touchwiz and other apps to landscape via Tasker.

I have some apps with self controled orientation and when Tasker was forcing system orientation to landscape, some of these apps were unable to set the screen correctly.

well, I know.

I'm using CarHome Ultra as a 3rd-party car-mode app (I have defaulted to it instead of S-Voice)

At the moment I'm pretty satisfied (on 4.1.2 stock)

* Phone is docked in the Brodit cardock in the vehicle (modified slightly - replaced charging cable to Cardock+AUX with 619k resistor)

* once docked - cardock mode activated, touchwiz rotation is unlocked by the system, car-dock app is opened (CHU)

* Optional Audio AUX cable is plugged to the in-car multimedia.

Ibolt has switched over some time ago to 365K resistor (which triggers more "universal" smartdock mode) - this is still supported by Samsung on 4.2/4.3, BUT this mode does not trigger Touchwiz (system) screen rotation by orientation sensor

Since there is nothing actually new in 4.3, I think I'll wait till 4.4 (if this will ever happen for S3)

Too much headache - get NFC tag, NFC always on, Tasker app as resident, more battery consumpltion, etc.

It's really a pity that Samsung has retracted physical cardock support a second time already.

First it was broken after 4.0x to 4.1x upgrade (even charging was not working!),

Was completely fixed 5 months later in Feb'13 with newer 4.1.2 builds (XXEMC2 and later)

And now it is broken again on 4.3 :(

P.S. I might be missing something as I had no chance yet to test it (stock 4.3) by myself.

What EXACTLY do you mean by saying that "it works"? (it was always possible to force "cardock" mode via 3rd party apps... charging was not working with cardock enabled cables/docks (like Infuse) for some time on early 4.1 stock firmwares, this was fixed in Feb'13 and still working on 4.3 as I can judge based on feedback above)

Is cardock mode activated automatically once you put your phone in the Infuse dock (wheel icon should appear in the system tray) on 4.3?

Is Touchwiz rotation unlocked once you have docked the phone?

Tnx
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GPSMapper:
Well, as soon as 4.3 stock updates are being rolled out globally at the moment and keeping in mind that the comments received so far are a little bit misleading, I would like to ask for feedback again:

If you:

* have Infuse dock (or compatible charging "cardock" cable with resistor hack built-in)

* are running on the most recent stock 4.3 FW on your SGS3 (e.g. I9300XXUGMK6)

Please adivse, what exactly happens when you put your SGS3 in the Infuse dock (or connect compatible "cardock" cable):

1) does charging work?

2) does phone hardware state change to "docked" once inserted / plugged in (cardock state - wheel icon should appear in the system tray)?

3) Is TouchWiz auto-rotation (incl. lockscreen) unlocked after docked?

All the rest is not that important as people may use different cardock launchers/shells (stock S-voice, 3rd party, etc)

Many thanks in advance!!!

P.S.

I have spent 20 hours of trying to design the most energy-efficient scenario for Tasker which would automate the whole story even without hardware support of cardock state (will work on any dock). I will de-brief later. I still do hope that hardware cardock state is still working on 4.3...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GPSMapper:
Well, Today i have met with my friend who has stock 4.3 (GMK6) on his SGS3

And I can now confirm with confidence that Cardock mode triggered as HW state by the special cardock cable/dock is still supported and fully working!

Great news to consider when planning an upgrade to 4.3

4.1.2 x 4.3?

Hello,

infuse dock arrived today and didnt charge nor activated car mode nor output audio on my S3,

I'm with rooted 4.1.2 (JZ054K.J9300XXEMRH).

I'd like to please confirm if I flash 4.3, power and audio would work without

any hw mods - resistors changing, pcb tracks cutting, and the like?

Thank you,
