Although the phone was originally from Germany/Voda indeed, I live in South America (Brazil).

The fw is stock yes, but rooted, and the status reads as 'modified' as usual.

Don't know if that could change dock behaviour?

But you brought good news, I might try flashing XXEMC2 or XXEMF6.

On second thought, mustnt that Voda fw ver. be working as well??

The main source I know for fw is SamMobile, would be there a better place to dload?

[edit] In fact, it would be a lot easier to me to do a hw mod than a fw flash,

as long the mod works 5/5 with future fw updates. I still didnt understand clearly

why different fw ver./flavors impact on dock detection/charging and stuff...

Hi guys,

I recently update my firmware to android 4.3 Samsung S3.

Now my vehicle mount (Samsung AT&T INFUSE 4G SGH-i997 Vehicle Mount) won't charge anymore after the firmware update.

Could anyone able to help ?

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] strom87:
Does anyone knows if the phone with 3000mAh extended battery still fits in the dock? I've read it's 2-3 mm thicker so I suppose it could not fit into it anymore.

Any ideas? Is there any free space between the back cover of the phone and the dock when it's docked? Or maybe the plastic piece with Samsung on it can be removed giving more space for the phone, like I did in my sgs2 dock since using extended 2000mAh battery?

Thanks

no, it will not fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReCoN1989:
I see everyone saying STOCK 4.3, presumably this means it won't work on any touchwiz based build? I'm on JSS15J.I9305XXUEML5 what options do I have to gain the ability to use the dock properly?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GPSMapper:
stock = official FW from Samsung.

TouchWiz is integral part of it, no issues.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReCoN1989:
The thing is, i'm running android 4.3 having upgraded OTA. I presume this is official from Samsung, or is it a carrier version? In which case how do I get a Stock Samsung version for an i9305, as my phone is not working at all with the Infuse car dock?

What exactly is it which is/was causing a compatibility issue, would any custom ROM/kernel work?

Anybody using these docks with a 4.4.2 ROM?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Geo_Tech:
Great
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
What did you use? Any link for it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Just any normal usb car adapter...I soldered wires to the leads which normally touch in the 12v car socket then wrapped it with black tape. I then hardwired the wires I soldered on into the fuse box.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
I'm not sure I follow. You took apart a usb cig lighter car adapter and just soldered together the two wires? Is the usb connector still attached? Then you just used a usb cable to connect the dock and usb car adapter? Any pictures? That sounds like what I want to do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] snowwhite007:
Any UK sellers? Would like to get one

Any chance the Samsung Infuse 4G Multimedia Desktop Dock will fit the S3?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Tap in the wires into the fuse box.

Not that I can find. Infuse 4G was a US/Canada phone afaik, so not surprising. As I said earlier, you can get one shipped over for £13.5 including the shipping.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
Did you completely remove the plastic casing? Then I just twist together the 2 red and black wires? How many amp fuse did you connect it to? Sorry so many questions.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I left the casing, I filed off the chrome so that the solder would stick. Then wrapped it with black tape. The USB adapter has an internal fuse so it doesn't matter what you tap into on the fuse box.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
I think I understand what you did now. So you just soldered a wire to each of the metal contacts on the exterior of the adapter and then connected the wires to the fuse box? Did you just twist then ends of the red+ and black- wires together and connect to the fuse or do they attach separately? Is there a ground?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ColdBrew:
I would just use these. Cut the battery clips off the adapter and connect the red wire to the add-a-circuit and the black wire to ground. You won't have to solder anything. BTW radio shack use to make those without the battery clips but they stopped for some reason...

Oh wait sorry I can't post links. I don't have enough posts.

Search radio shack for:

Enercell™ 12V/10A Vehicle Adapter Socket with Battery Clips

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlb4:
Thanks for all the replies. I think I am going to go with one of these with the Add-a-circuit. These should work, right?

I just received the SIII today, and while driving home with it, I tried it out on the D710 dock - it works just the same as the Infuse dock, so if you can't find the one for the Infuse, buy the Sprint Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy SII, D710) dock here:

Now that some people are starting to get the Infuse dock in and it's similar to my D710 dock in every aspect, has anyone figured out how to prevent S Voice from starting when car docked??? Here's a link to my question so we don't clutter up this thread, but any help figuring this out would be awesome!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740890

I'm sure it's something so simple but I've tried the one thing someone figured out with the old Voice Talk app, but it doesn't work for S Voice unfortunately....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] the_buzz_man:
For all of you that are using the infuse car dock with the S3, can I possibly get you to try something for me? I would like to know if you can run a microUSB extension cable off the dock and into the phone and it work the same. If so, which extension cable are you using?

I would like to have this functionality, but once I put a case on the phone then it obviously wont fit in the dock. I am thinking I will just cut the bottom part off and hide it in my dash and just use the extension cable to connect them.

I would appreciate someone testing this out for me and letting me know.

Thanks in advance!!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] wolfylee:
I don't know where you could get a micro-usb extension cable like you want.

I tried this route by taking my galaxy s2 car dock apart(you end up with a small circuit board with micros usb power in, audio in and microsusb out(to connect into the phone) but there was no way to satisfactorily connect to the dock part of the dock with an extension cable as there are no micro-usb cable extenders(you obviously would need female to male). You can convert 'micro-usb' to standard usb then back to 'micro-usb' but as standard usb has only 4 pins I don't think dock mode would activate, which was my problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] A.VOID:
I use CarHome Ultra and I don't see S-Voice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PensFan66:
You see S-Voice because its the default app for Car Mode - If you install something else that can be used as car mode (Custome Car Home... etc...) it will ask you what you want for default when you dock, and you can select to make it the default.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
But then you have to see car home ultra pop up every time phone is docked? :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Exactly.... NOT what I want! I have Tasker installed and as I said on the Q&A thread I posted the link for, I just selected Tasker by default without a task setup for car dock mode and it prevents S Voice from coming up by default....

I understand S Voice is the default app that starts when car docked, but I just want to change it to NONE instead of ________! The one complaint I have about Samsung is that they think they know what everyone wants on their phones and they really have only half of it right.... there are some TW options and setups that I'm just baffled by, wondering who in the world would actually want them set like that by default!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I just placed an order for infuse dock. I guess as far as the s voice launching, I will just disable it in setting. Not like it works well anyway lol... unless someone can figure out how to close it using tasker or nfc tag?

Just got my Infuse dock today but of course don't have my Verizon Galaxy S3. Just wondering if anyone knows if the S3 comes with built in car home software?

I'd like to see it just to compare it to my current Droid X software.

Yeah goes into dock mode i havent recieved my dock yet but after following this thread i no it does. Hopefully someone will screenshot for you. Another point worth noting if you dont like the gs3 version google car home etc all works aswell
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.

I made my own custom car dock for my Captivate (AT&T Galaxy S1) out of Friendly Plastic. Although as I found out cars get to hot for Friendly Plastic, I have a pile of info on the wiring for it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12169590&postcount=44

I assume the wiring would be the same and hopefully the resistor values are the same as well (although you aren't looking to trigger the dock, you don't need any resistors).

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Avohkah Tamer:
Thanks! I'll probably end up buying it from there.

Quick question for those who have this dock: Does it obscure the GS3's built-in headphone port? And if it's not obscured, is the headphone port automatically disabled anyways while in car dock mode? I know the dock has its own convenient aux out jack through USB (When using the Samsung app, I guess?), but I'd still like to know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robstunner:
AT&T has them for $17.99 plus tax with free 2nd day air shipping. w00t.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Avohkah Tamer:
What I'd like to know is whether buying a new one through AT&T is definitely worth $3 over buying a refurb from that eBay store. I don't mind a lack of retail packaging, I only care about product quality. I also don't mind shipping times, since my Verizon S3 isn't due to arrive until next week anyways.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robstunner:
One year warranty through att starting at time of purchase I suppose.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] detonation:
Bought one hoping it would work with the Galaxy Nexus since all the phones are very close in size. Fits great into the dock but the added thickness at the bottom of the Nexus prevents it from fitting into the USB port. See pic below, gonna try filing down the lip on the dock so it fits.

Any chance at all that this would work with the Samsung OEM Slim Case?

Does this also mount on the dashboard? How well does it hold there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
Ordered one of these for my new shiny S3, can't wait!

How does handsfree talk still work on this, 'cause doesn't it block the microphone at the bottom of the phone? Or does the dock have a built in mic?

Also, I used to plug my phone into my car using a 3mm audio jack to listen to my music & navigation, but when I put this in the headphone socket the caller says my voice goes really quiet in comparison as it takes it off hands free when the'res a headphone jack plugged in.... does using this dock (with the audio going through the usb) work better or different than this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gnash.s:
I got mine yesterday and it works perfectly. i just found out about the dock nothingness. Thanks to everyone.

I'll try the dock with the case once I get it and report back here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] araje:
This is great news. But how does audio work? The usb plug is at the bottom, and the 3,5mm plug is on the top. Is there something that connects the two? Sorry haven't seen the infuse dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ansextra:
So with Dock Nothingness can you still put the phone in car mode?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
All of these questions have been answered already - there are NO cases that work with this mount, this is NOT a universal mount, the tolerances are way too tight for the phone to mount in it with a case

Yes, it can mount on the dash if you stick the suction disk on the dash, but I wouldn't recommend it as your dash gets hot, it will warp the disk, the suction won't stick well, and the glue on the disk will ruin your dash over time. As to how well it holds, I answered part of it already, but for the time that it isn't warped, it sticks just like it would on the glass, I assume, I've not mounted it there and won't ruin a car's dash to mount it closer, I just bought a ProClip vehicle specific mount as I've described how to do already

Correct, the phone does into car mode regardless, it just prevents the default app from opening up once it enters car mode.... I then use A2DP Volume to start Google Music and connect to my Bluetooth without S Voice coming up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Those are nice but really expensive...I ordered these instead, with it I can use any standard data/sync USB cable.

Let me know how those work. I looked on ebay, but never saw those. Probably because I always check to see only the North America items.

Audio issues

I agree, the audio doesn't sound as good as the 3.5mm out. It is thinner and lacks bass. In addition, my phone calls are not routed to the usb port. Phone calls use the built in speaker for some reason. I notice the phone doesn't kick into "headset" mode when using the USB port. Not sure if this has anything to do with the audio issue. Anyone else experiencing the same issues?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b3ndech0:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
Yeah, I Just set mine up today. Really thin, bass-less music from the audio out on the dock. Was really hoping to not have to carry on plugging a loose lead into the top of the phone every time. Wonder why it sounds weaker than the headphone socket.

Is there any way to have the call audio go through the headphone socket with the music/navigations, and to use the phone's built in hands free mic?

My phone calls go through the usb port but it sounds like crap. I'm going to test more but will probably just use the stereo jack on the top.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
Are you running a custom kernel? Also, mine sounds like crap plugged into the headphone jack when the phone is plugged into the dock, and no call audio when plugged into the dock's audio (it comes through the phone speaker).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
thanks, i'd be interested to hear how you get on with that. Also if when you have everything going out of the headphone socket, can the people on the other end hear you.. as when I tried that they said it went quiet and muffled and could only hear me when I unplugged the lead from the headphone socket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] araje:
I read all the reviews on the amazon site for this product. It's a mixed bag.

People say that sound quality is just pathetic via the usb. However it seems there is some lever which allows the phone to be docked to the dock without the usb inserted. This allows one to use the headphone jack. But then what's use :-)

Also others say they use car bluetooth kit. To route the audio to speakers. But then that goes about 60$ plus the infuse dock.

Not worth it I guess if the sound quality is bad.

But that's just my opinion.

I just plugged the stereo cable in the top of the phone. I don't remember the dock setting.

I sounded normal to the person I called.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] the_buzz_man:
This is just my personal opinion here, but I just switched from using the headphone jack and usb charging (two separate cables) to using this dock (one cable) and to me, the audio was much better. Those of you having audio issues may want to take a look at whatever equalizer setting you are using. I had to change mine up some, but overall it sounds much better.

As for using the built-in speaker instead of routing the sound through the USB audio, I am thankful for that. When I was using the headphone jack, the callers voice was coming from my truck speakers, causing a bad echo for them. Now, it only comes from my bluetooth speaker, which doesn't cause this echo at all.

Hoping to get my microUSB extension cable in today so I can hide the dock under the dash and start leaving the phone in its case.
