Do you have something plugged in the n7's micro usb port? If so, that'll stop it from charging.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Definitely shocked to read that it doesn't fall forward while docked in your car.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NRGZ28:
Anyway you could take a picture of how it looks in your car ? thinking of ordering one for use in my car as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] durajim:
What charging plug are you using? It won't get enough power from a USB port on a computer.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kentedman:
I wasn't plugged into a computer but just an off brand USB adapter (since Asus is too cheap to include one with the dock). I tried a different USB cord last night and had a much better result.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
I have to say that audio out using the pogo pins is quite..... temperamental. The slightest rattle causes one of the pins to lose contact and I lose one of the audio channels.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
For those that care, xcaliburpc has them in stock . 85 as of right *now*, and they probably will go fast.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] d00mz:
ordered, let's see if I got one in time!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bd177:
At least it works for you somewhat. I got the dock in today and nothing comes out of powered speakers when plugged into the dock.

When I plug the speakers into the headset jack the speakers work. The dock does power the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 7 does know it is docked.

EDIT: Reflashed rom (paranoidandroid 2.99) without custom kernel (metallace) and now the dock audio out works.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] d00mz:
Well I got a shipment notice, hopefully will be here soon.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sebr:
Is there any (slim) case that fits in the dock?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
Some cases will allow you to dock when the case is opened, with the front cover behind the dock. You'll know it when you see it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] chrisbamb:
I Got the same problem with my dock. The audio output via the dock audio cennector does not work. It only works with the Nexus 7 built-in audio jack. Does anybody else have the same problem? Or even better, a solution?

Greets
[Nexus 7 Accessories] amatris1996:
any news on Charging Via pogo, and using otg cable?

if not any one know of any kernels that will allow it?

Thanks, amatris.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bd177:
In my previous post I thought it was the kernel that was causing the audio out not to work. Turns out it was NexusLouder that I had flashed.

By re-flashing everything but NexusLouder , the audio out port works now.

I received an email from Asus this morning informing me mine has been shipped and by the looks of it they are shipping to the UK via Germany.

I hope it arrives by the weekend, waited long for one these lol.

I'm playing the waiting game again - Getting another dock from Asus UK for the office... just gotta wait for it to be back in stock!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jrkeyboard:
I got my dock this week... but my tablet won't charge on it. I'm still using a 4.1.2 ROM... do I need to update that for the charging functionality to work, or is my one of my dock or Nexus bad? I haven't tested the audio, but when I put it on the dock, nothing happens. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
The dock functionality was added in either the 4.2 or 4.2.1 update.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] darkmatthew:
Dock NEED 4.2
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jrkeyboard:
Thanks for the info... I've been holding off on any 4.2 updates due to how many stability issues I've been seeing online, guess I'll either bite the bullet or live with a $40 stand
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Mine just arrived. Very happy with the build quality... heavy, stable, nice attention to detail.

Do they ship to the us? I want to order because that is the cheapest I have seen
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solange82200:
Just checked their site and looks like they do!

To the person who's dock is coming tomorrow, when u get your dock from Adorama let us know, so I feel safer ordering from them, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Yes... Adorama is a US retailer out of New York. Buy camera gear from them all the time.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bd177:
I bought mine from Adorama and have had it for a few days now. They are out of the New York City area and legit.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rastlin:
So, is it with the $40 bucks?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] yoda6:
Very disappointed

Received my official Asus dock via UPS today but for some reason as soon as I insert N7 into it I get repeated "unfortunately, clock has stopped" errors and the N7 becomes unusable until removed from dock, screen unresponsive and slow to update. Have tried factory reset of N7 to no avail. Not sure what to try next, is it the dock or the N7 at fault? Running 4.2.1. Any one got any ideas?

What the actual resell value ? in Israel is also popular device, at least the 16/32GB device..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
I think so. It makes charging a breeze, but the real draw is being able to hook up a pair of speakers to make a killer entertainment set up /bedside clock replacement.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ectodroid:
My exact use of the dock atm. Bedside clock and radio at night :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] spacemanvt:
Hmmm I want one but I think 40 is too much...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
So do I, and with shipping on top of the price of the stand comes out to 60 dollars for me, which is definitely not worth the price of this stand. I could probably build me one for less that can use speakers built with it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
Adorma put my order in back-order :(, will check other places then..anybody ordered from Adorama from last week?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
It's completely OK if you don't like the dock, if you think it's too expensive, or you think the shipping(!) is too expensive, but this really isn't the correct forum for those opinions. Keep it to yourself, or complain to ASUS - don't mess up the thread!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
I think I did, got mine yesterday.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] troyready:
Turns out that my first dock was bad. Just got my replacement in from Excalibur, and it's working flawlessly.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rastlin:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
Damn it, how hard is to get that dock? I mean? I do remember how long I waited for the Galaxy Nexus dock, and then EXPANISIS got them mostly always, but com'on? I need to me back-order? what the problem? the demand? or the manufacture? heh LOL, it's just like the story with Nexus 4 and the demand is bigger then manufacture :p

[Nexus 7 Accessories] irishrally:
The accessories section of the Nexus 7 forum in a thread called "Official Nexus Dock" seems like the perfect forum for opinions on the N7 dock. Are only positive opinions about the dock, like yours, allowed in the thread? Better change the name of the thread to "People that Like the Official Nexus Dock". :p

I ordered from buyspry via eBay and they definitely have them in stock. It wasn't until after I got a www.buyspry.com shipping notification did I realize they have a website with lower overhead costs and in turn lower prices! I actually got an email from them about the price difference so I can attest that there really is someone working behind this company.

You are supposed to use powered speakers.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] adamhlj:
Yes, well, I don't know about the reviewer, but I would think that the speakers are powered speakers. I don't know why they wouldn't be. I had this issue with my nexus one car dock where the sound coming out after connected was WAY too quiet. So this is why I want to know before I buy it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Sorry, I don't have a nexus 7 at hand to test it.

Can this be used while it's plugged into a computer for debugging purposes?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
When an item is back ordered, do they charge you once it's shipped? Or do they charge you as soon as you put the money up for it then you need to wait?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
I believe that's a no.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kgh00007:
Has anyone got theirs yet? Will this work with a screen protector installed on the nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kcchen:
Got mine from Adorama today (order placed 2/2). Screen protector is fine with the dock. Skin on the back is fine too. That's pretty much it though... A case or TPU skin could pose a problem. Don't know about the native N7 hardback.

With that said, the Moko case, found on Amazon, works with the dock. The pogo pin side of the N7 can be pulled from the corner snaps of the case allowing the device to slide into the dock.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] durajim:
Anyone know of anywhere else to get it in the UK? Getting pretty bored of waiting for Asus to get it back in stock!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sunnycheeba:
I plugged my powered speakers into the dock and was planning on controlling the volume from the Nexus 7 but it seems that the docks audio output bypasses all volume controls from the Nexus 7 and outputs everything at full volume. I tried several different audio programs (Google Play , VLC, Bubble UPnP, ES Media Player and TuneIn Radio) and none of their volume controls, or the hardware volume rocker, had any effect on the audio output (it remained at full volume).

I will now have to plug the docks audio output into a amplifier or mixer to obtain volume control. I read a review of the dock that said the volume rocker worked to control the volume while docked...not for me.

As a norwegian, I'm getting pissed off. There's no sign of the dock, and the stores that had it in their systems now show no stock dates.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:
They are handling their product distribution terribly. Both this dock and the Nexus 4. What a shame.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rastlin:
I agree, there was a HUGE opp loss. When the nexi(?) Line came out all the accessories should of been available at the time of purchase or at very least before holiday season. All this should of been sorted out long time ago. Also there should be more buzz for the accessories for our units. Its not like there is not a demand for the units and soon there will be another new line of nexi coming put this year. I hope that they have all their ducks in a row before launch.......

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
It was a pleasure dealing with you Durajim!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] wolfvgang:

I totally agree. This is one area where Apple is still better than Google Nexus and every other Android device so far - the ability to get accessories on day one online and in stores. I guess these manufacturers don't want my money? Is it that hard to make accessories available?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Andrew025:
Tried searching, didn't find an answer...

Anyone who actually managed to get the dock, do you know if it charges and can access USB otg while docked and charging?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:
Yeah it's really stupid. I mean how hard is it to release a device, a dock, a case all at the same time? It's not freaking brain surgery. Someone goes in to buy a new N7 - chances are high that he/she will also buy a case for it as well. Maybe even the dock. I swear their marketing is horrible, Apple is way ahead of them when it comes to that.

I just complimented Apple on something. I now await the earth to be shifted from it's rotational axis.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] purple_duckk:
Apparently the choices are

1. Choose Music and Movies and have no volume control but the output out of the 3.5mm jack in the back of the dock

2. Choose to unclick the Music and Movies box and have volume control but the sound comes out of the tablet speakers.

This makes no sense to me. Why not have the dock output act like the regular headphone output? I have a little desktop speaker I was looking forward to using, but with the way the dock functions I can't just drop it in the dock and play music. Everytime I want to dock and undock I'll have to plug it in and unplug it from the headphone jack. It might not seem like a big difference, but its the difference of just dropping it in and having it work and having to MAKE it work.

Considering it was so late being released and costs so much you would think they would have had a better thought out product. I'm very disappointed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Output thru the 3.5mm jack is designed to route to powered speakers, which have their own volume control. Why would you need two volume controls for the same speaker?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] br0adband:
The audio output on the dock is designed to work at Line levels so it's basically a Line-Out and yes it would require powered speakers or at least be patched to something that can amplify the signal as needed.

Don't people understand this yet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Loougle:
There has been a lot of questions on the OTG and using the dock and I have found 2 reviews that state that we can in fact charge with the dock and use the OTG.

1st off is the Adorama review, which is exactly what we want he connected to a squid and we are good to go

Awesome Docking Solution for the Nexus 7

By zetasai

from Boston, MA

About Me Quality Oriented

I use this dock on a daily basis. It is plugged into speakers and the sound is perfect. The other thing I like the most is that it expands the tablet. Now I have two micro usb ports. One for charging and the other one for the OTG cable that is plugged into a usb squid. This gives me about 7 usb ports to use on my tablet.

2nd is this, found on Androidcentral forums,

Q: Do the N7's own sockets work when the device is being charged via the dock?

A: Yes....

....to the extent I've tested it.

Scenario: Nexus 7 sat on dock, being charged via the mains, OEM cable plugged in to the dock. OTG cable plugged in to the N7's own power/data socket.

Mouse receiver plugged in to the OTG - wireless mouse works on the N7. Don't have a wired mouse, nor a keyboard (wired or wireless), but see no reason why either wouldn't work too. Whether you could run adapters for both mouse and keyboard, wired or wireless, don't know.

Flash drive plugged in to the OTG. Via Nexus Media Importer, jpegs and mp4's work fine. No audio unless a speaker or earphones are plugged in to either the dock, or the N7's own audio output. The N7's own audio socket does work whilst the device is being charged.

Dock plugged in to PC USB. N7 shows it's charging, but does not appear as an attached device. That said, I'm not sure why you'd connect the dock that way. You'd just connect the N7 directly via USB, no? You'd still get charging(albeit slower) , and can drag n drop in the usual way.

Haven't tried anything more. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about work type docs or sync'ing or any of that malarkey, just my own entertainment content. And that works fine. YMMV.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] purple_duckk:
I am using the iHome Ri26 powered speaker which doesn't have its own volume control built in. Why? Because it is a cool little android shape, sounds fine at low levels and doesn't take up a lot of space. My plan was to plug it into my dock on my desk so I could drop my tab in when I get in and just grab it on my way out the door. Having to choose between plug and play ease and no volume control and volume control, but needing to plug and unplug the 3.5 mm jack every single time is retarded.

I understand quite well how it is working. I am saying it is a poor design. I can think of another scenerio where this is stupid: I have it on my desk with headphones plugged into the dock. I now have to choose between one ear-splitting volume or having to plug and unplug the headphones every single time I get leave.

I also use my N7 as my head unit in my car. It feeds into an Audio Control Matrix with a RVC knob to control the volume. Currently I have to plug and unplug both power and signal cables every time I get in my car. I wanted to use the dock as a cradel to prevent this. Since I have the Matrix as my main volume control that fine right? ****ing wrong! Why? Because if you have the tablet volume up more than 75% before you feed it into the Matrix the sound gets distorted and you get noticible distortion even at low levels.

Why can't YOU understand making the choice to arbitrarily reduce my options on how to use it is stupid and only goes to diminish its usefulness? If they made it so you could control the volume at the tablet level AND the amplifier level they lose nothing. By disabling the volume control at the tablet level they have made it harder to use in a variety of situations.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
If u don't want to use tablet then don't use it ... there are only 4 pins and that's limiting ... even the free pins will be problem cause if the sound goes through processor it can damage the processor when connecting it in wrong order ... the tablet is cheap and that's the thing that will dmg only few ppl ... if u need volume control then make adapter between dock and audio out

I would like to have an infrared port to control tablet with tv remote but that's not the reason to complain on developers

I still don't get your problem. As I wrote earlier, tablet volume keys are working just fine for me when docked. No one took away anything from anybody.

Not all powered speakers have volume controls. My Event PS8 powered speakers have no volume controls.

For volume control I will have to buy a headphone volume control cable like this.

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102975

As far as remotes go, i was looking forward to using my Nexus 4 as a remote to control the Nexus 7 volume while docked and connected to my powered speakers, but I guess that convenience won't be happening.

Are you saying that you can control the volume, via the tablets volume keys, to speakers plugged into your docks 3.5mm jack?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MMeester:

Yes.

Headphones, to be precise. I watch videos using vlc.

Volume keys work as expected.
