Hello, I have the same problem with the dock, I can not control the volume with the controls on the nexus 7, in this video you can see that if control volume youtu.be/IV42S89HKPk . OTG cable connected to the nexus 7 indicates that it is charging, but actually the battery level is downloading, I reinstalled android 4.2.2 from 0 and the problem persists, do not know where the fault lies, if the nexus 7, dock, or software
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Agreed. You wouldn't want an output level that changes as you might blow yourself out if the room the next time you dock it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sunnycheeba:
The Nexus 7 docked and plugged into speakers outputs at full volume. How would the ability to lower the Nexus 7 volume output "blow" anything? I think the fact that it only outputs at full volume make it more likely to "blow" something.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
My experience is that it is no where near full volume.

But to explain the issue... you might have volume set low when docked, and gain on whatever you're driving with the dock set to a comfortable level. Then you go on the road and raise the volume level... a lot. Next time you dock it is too loud.

With a single level from dock output, it will be the same volume as the last time you docked. Other audio components (CD, BLU RAY, etc.) don't vary output levels, why should a docked mobile device?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
there are amplifiers with limited control (D class) but in nature every speaker have volume control - turned on and off at least
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
Got mine to day, it seems there are 2 models, one end with 0020, other 0030, but I don't think there a difference, mine 0030, the box of 0020 little different with text.

The Dock is now back in stock on the Asus UK website!!!:laugh:

Grab one before they sell all three of their stock again! :rolleyes:

Lol! I ordered mine before I posted this :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] plateaupoh:
After upgrading to android 4.2.2, the audio output via the dock audio connector can't work. However, it worked well when running 4.2.1. My system has been rooted and installed tethering zip file. Does anyone have the problem? Or please teach me how to re-flash everything but NexusLouder.

Impressed by Asus' delivery schedule. Ordered about 11.30 am yesterday, it left Eindhoven last night for Brussels, and left Brussels en route to the UK by 5-30am this morning!

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Will be doing that.

Right now I have to believe the issue with the docks is either

1. Manufacturing issue/defect and they had to go back to the drawing board.

2. They are waiting for a firmware update for the Nexus to roll out that brings full dock capabilities.

Just no reason to hold back (besides these) at this point. People are buying the product, and it is much easier to get them to buy that dock at the outset rather than convince them that a dock is necessary when they have been using the tablet "dockless" for months.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
Note that _none_ of the accessories are out. This is not technical, it's a problem between Asus and Google, probably concerning who gets paid what.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tonybhoy:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Asus was also supposed to release a desktop dock for the OG Transformer that turned into vaporware. I'm getting the same feeling here.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] T-Keith:
The biggest disappointment in the nexus series is the accessories. Google needs to take more control of the hardware and at least keep things consistent. The mirco usb port is even backwards on the nexus 7. The pogo pins seem like a great alternative to apples dock but they have basically zero accessories and aren't even consistent between nexus products. They should have gone with wireless charging instead.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rican408:
I don't understand why other companies don't come in and offer pogo docks since nobody else is doing it. They would make a killing.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] crzycrkr:
Agree that they should just go wireless. Miss that from my Palm Pre. Not quite sure what you mean about the micro USB being backwards though. Many phones are like that now

Sent from my LTEVO
[Nexus 7 Accessories] T-Keith:
It's opposite of the galaxy nexus, so if you use the same charger for both you have to keep turning it around.

I have an hp touchpad and the touchstone is great. Wish I could use it on the nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Emerald ringer:
I have a Seidio charger stand. It works fine for my Galaxy Nexus. However, I can't use it with my nexus 7 because of the N7's backward USB port. The n7's screen would have to face backwards in order to use the charging stand.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] crzycrkr:
I understand that its backwards from the GN, but the micro USB facing that way isn't uncommon.

Sent from my LTEVO
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Emerald ringer:
It seems like the orientation should be a standard, else you'd have more issues like this.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] crzycrkr:
I really don't see the issue. Flipping the charger cord certainly isn't one. I'm not sure a dock made for a different device being unusable is either. The orientation isn't standard. The way the micro USB is facing on the N7 is the same way HTC faces it.

anyone else have a problem with wifi not working right after you take it off the dock? need to turn it on and off in quick settings for wifi to work.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
I really think we'd have heard of that, so I suspect that's just on your device. What rom are you using?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] seshsud:
costcaptain.com seems to have it for $29.99 with free shipping. never heard of this website. Will this work with the bluerex case? Assuming we can tilt that case and mount the nexus 7 on the dock?

I've heard sketchy things about costcaptain. Check out Resellerratings.com before you use them.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonmorris:
Just got my dock and I stupidly decided to go for the official Asus cover - which was discounted if ordered at the same time.

I'd been using a LuvTab case before (and still will when travelling) but though it might be nicer around the house as it's slimmer.

Problem one (but wasn't surprising as I suspect it would be the case); it doesn't fit the dock or have holes for the pogo pins. Fair enough - I didn't expect that.

Problem two; the case doesn't have a magnet so it doesn't turn off the tablet when I close it. I stupidly assumed it must have (so didn't read the description text, which may or may not warn you of that fact).

Anyone else tempted to bundle the case with their dock order might want to bear this in mind. As it stands, I'll now use the dock at home and probably keep the Nexus 7 uncased completely, then go back to the LuvTab one on the move.

PS. The dock is great. Just stunned that it took so long for it to become available!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
is it hard to make hole into the case and fill it with magnet?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonmorris:
I'd say it's too thin.. but I thought it would have it, as it seems silly not to given the feature in the device itself.

Anyway, I'll just sell it on as I've got the other case (bulkier, but gives better protection and can be used as a stand) and put it down to being stupid for not reading up on this properly beforehand.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
just drilled the hole for magnet and it fits good ... the problem is when I open tablet and the cover is on back (maybe too strong magnet) ... I have original gummy case from asus and magnets from photoframe
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nexusniaco7:
Hello, here is a video where you can see that I have no volume control with audio output dock.

The dock does not charge the Nexus7 with otg cable connected, indicates charging but the battery graph that is being downloaded, is something very strange

Whats the difference between these? 90-XB3XOKDS00020 (Adorama) and 90-XB3XOKDS00030 (B&H)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
As far as we can tell, nothing. If anything, it's probably a non-essential change in the production process. Maybe they changed something inside, or whatever.

I finally got mine; bought it from Japan on eBay and paid WAY too much, but at least now I have it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonmorris:
I got 0020 and that arrived this morning. If stock is selling really fast, I can't believe I got an old model. I haven't got a clue what the difference is but a search showed up this;

0020 - http://icecat.nl/p/asus/90-xb3xokds...s-0886227273485-90XB3XOKDS00020-16717714.html

They seem identical, but possibly designed for different regions?

Costcaptain

I have ordered a dock from them on January 27th.

Today I cancelled the order...

They keep on telling me that they expecting a shipment soon.

First they said the ETA was 1/30/13 then 2/8/13 then 2/22/13 and finally 3/7/13.

They they say they are sorry to let me go.

Interesting think is that on their website it doesn't say "NOT IN STOCK"

I guess I have to wait some more...

Did you guys see a $199 price on Ebay? Ridiculous!

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Accessories] E15i:
I got mine from

http://www.excaliberpc.com/622650/asus-google-nexus-docking-station.html

But was just lucky, as the just happen to have some in stock, try to contact them, I know it sucks that it so hard to find one, I had same problem when searched for a dock for my Galaxy Nexus, but eventually it was sold in multiple places like EXPANSIS & etc, but with the Nexus 7 is much worse, and mostly it just not in stock, mine firstly was on pre order on Adorma and Excalibur PC, and with some magic, Excalibur happen to have some :p

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Andrew025:
Luckily I ordered it as soon as I saw your post.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Wisefire:
I'm thinking the stock issue isn't really Google, probably just how many Asus was willing to distribute to each supplier. Considering they are also found at other websites, where they have gone out of stock as well.

Though, I got mine. Shipped this morning. Should be in tomorrow.

Was waiting for this, but honestly considering cost after shipping, and the fact that id have to remove the nexus from my poetic case every time I wanted to use it, I think i'll pass. Good to see Google followed through with this though.

Pretty sure th ey maxed it at 2 per person. Lying your way into douchebaggery

[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
It's 2 per account.... Ever heard of multiple accounts? Maybe that's too complex of an idea for you.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] khaytsus:
I keep pondering this, but this is SUCH a simple dock.... It's straight connections to the USB and Audio and a base. No, I don't think they could have magically made it have HDMI, OTG, etc built into the base, but it should be cheaper.

Plus I've seen some reviews that show that it's a little wonky putting it in the dock.. I've considered one in the bedroom so I don't have to plug in USB and Audio every night when I'm going to sleep and listening to music but $30 seems a bit high for that.

6 months ago I probably would have done it, I dunno today..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] akhan47:
Got mine this morning in the UK. Ordered as soon as it became available on the Play Store.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jowett69:

Are you being facetious? This whole ordeal has been a joke... 9 months later and I still haven't been able to secure a dock... ridiculous.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
You know the micro-usb charging port is prone to failure yes?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] khaytsus:
Specific to the Nexus 7 or in general? In general microUSB is pretty robust, but otherwise no I haven't heard of any specific Nexus 7 issues with it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clayginn:
I've had 1 for a month or so now and works very good. Only issue I have had is sometimes when kids put it on the dock it's upside down. I love this thing and think this is a must for any tablet. Same with wireless charging for a phone, i'll never go back.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
it will be soon :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] zxcv106106:
Thanks. I will do that.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RootTheMachine:
I really like it so far. Much more convenient than having to grab my USB cable off of the ground... I can just pop it in at my desk whenever I feel like it and it's always ready to go. The dock is bigger and heavier than I expected, and it cradles the device quite securely. The only problem, however, is that there isn't much lip in the front, and it would be easy to tip the Nexus out of it if hit from the back. I'm not too concerned since it's on my desk but you might want to be aware of that. Everything works as expected. I don't think I'll be using the audio out too much, but it's nice to have if you want to do that.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] travisjustin:
Play store is restocked again.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Galaxy Nexus, Kindle, but not yet Nexus 7, it takes about 7 months to fill with crud to the point of unusablity.

If it wasn't such a flaky situation with the distrubution of docks I would have waited to see if mine flaked out. But given this here today/gone tomorrow scenario I'd rather take a chance and buy one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Andrew025:
7 months? Lolwut

Even if that was actually the case... Some compressed air would fix that problem.

You should worry more about putting pressure on the port than it filling with junk :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] zxcv106106:
Just order mine as soon as I saw this !

Thank you!

It's 29.99 with tax and 5.99 two day shipping to Maryland. come out around 37 dollars...so I guess 2 dollars cheaper than some of the store...? was expecting more money saving lol. But well!, I'm happy.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kcchen:
It is a pretty simple dock, but it saves a lot of wear and tear on the micro-usb. The dock sits on my nightstand, and all it does is charge my tablet each night. And that's all I expect from the dock.

I haven't plugged a usb cable into the N7 since getting the dock... ok, somewhere along the way I test out some OTG features.

Honestly, you don't need it if you're still on the fence. For me, docks are great for a dedicated / organized places in my cluttered life. :)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] repvik:
I've had microusb ports fail on me on several phones. The worst, by far, was the Galaxy Nexus. The port failed three times. And it wasn't caused by crud, but the actual port broke. Now I'm using my One X with a pogo dock - and I'm most definitely not looking back.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dime079:
what is the difference between "in stock" and "ships soon"? ships soon sounds like they're going to take my money and sit on it until they happen to get more in (should be illegal)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] travisjustin:
No charges are made till it ships
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Dr_Jim:
"Docks all folks ..."

Well, the cheerful, robot gnomes at the Google store shipped out my dock 1.4 hours after the order was placed - and they even managed to so brow-beat UPS that it magically appeared at Aardvark Acres the next morning with only one corner just slightly crushed - amazing.

The dock does appear to work as advertised, it charges the Nexus pretty quickly - although I'm using a 3 Amp wall wart and a relatively hefty power cable - and it does output sound through the 3.5mm jack.

The OTG cable I use does appear to work when plugged into the dock, the USB hub with mouse and keyboard is correctly detected, and under Android 4.2.2 it looks like the battery is being charged, but I didn't do a multi-hour rundown test to be sure.

That the dock's sound output looks to be fixed at a pretty high level (roughly -7dB, or .65Vrms/1.3Vp-p) which is significantly more than the consumer standard line output of -10dB (.47Vrms, 85Vp-p) - I could not get the Nexus 7's volume buttons or slider control to vary this output level.

From my knothole, this seems like a pretty counter-intuitive choice on Google and Asus's part - as a user, I had a reasonable expectation that the docks audio port would act like the tablet's audio-out jack and give me the same flexible control over volume levels. Since the OS correctly detects a docking event, and redirects the audio stream under user control, it would seem pretty trivial to for the OS to store a pair of 8 or 16 bit values that could be used to automagically restore each output jack to its last selected level - or am I missing something non-obvious?

Yes, I could use the audio-out jack - but it seems an unnecessary, inelegant kludge to have to fuss with either plugging cables or tweaking the knobs on my powered monitors when the point of a dock is to take the PITA out of moving your tablet around .....

Mutter, mutter, mutter - maybe if enough folks whined loudly enough someone in the Great, Grey, Groolgeplex will hear us?

Naw, whom am I fooling thinking this - OTOH, if we were to slip the new Pope an N7, so he'd get blasted with a Pater Nostra at 110dB - then I'd wager that there'd be some rapid action:

"Dominus, Domini Wax Nabiscum - re-write my drivers or rot in Purgatory!"

"As you wish, Holy Father..."

So this was in another thread as well, but what speakers are you guys using with your dock, I just bought one and im looking for a decent external speaker to get with it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Logitech X-140 2.0. They're pretty good for a plastic housed speaker, and they were only $25

Whatever you get you'll want to make sure it is powered externally and has a volume control.

Apparently some powered speakers don't have a volume control, who knew?
