Very disappointed

Hello.

I am very disappointed because i ordered my xProDock on 19 december 2012, I got xProDock incomplete (missing USB reinforced arm) and even today I have not received this item, although I was asked in an email to specify what is missing from what I originally received. I have not received even a sign from those who have asked me to say what part is missing.

It is fair?

I paid all the money iBolt asked me to pay for a complete xProdock so I expect to recieve all the part for which I paid.

I hope that this situation will be resolved soon because otherwise it would be unfair and incorect.

I think 3 months is too much even if there was a Chinese New Year, or is there another reason for incomplete delivery of my order?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chicagobeatfreak:
You are just out of the loop. iBolt has made it clear on Amazon that the usb/aux chord and arm would not ship until the end of March.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
I just spoke to them on the phone; they expect the arm in today or tomorrow; they will NOT have the special Y cable for another 2-4 weeks though, so I am gonna wait for that, since its important to me to be able to play phone sound through the aux in on my car
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chicagobeatfreak:
The mounts top notch, stop complaining.

I dont get how people are complaining about the mount though. It is incredibly easy to put the phone in one handed. I have also found the ball joint in most cases to be tight enough. It is true that the feet move out too easily but found leaving the feet most of the way out (even without a case) doesnt change the way the cradle performs. Now if i could just get the rest of it...

Now its possibly FOUR more weeks?! uuuuuuuuugh.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
the 10' y cable is 2-4 weeks; the arm is tomorrow...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I'm sick of waiting for mystical unicorns so I ordered a couple different USB charge aux cables from China off eBay. I'm sure they'll get here way faster... If they work I might just mod another type of dock that is a one hand operation for use with the Note 2 with a tpu style case...

Glad I didn't wait for ibolt. I really loved the cheap eBay holders, but the pressure of using on a daily basis makes the top clamp vulnerable and snaps easy. That said, I got my Kidigi Mount from mobile fun today. Took a long time to ship to Los Angeles, but well worth it. Works great with pro mount and richter connector I already had. The plug works fine and I am happy. Here are the pics

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kregar:
Received mine today

I ordered about a week ago from Amazon on was told it would ship on 3/23. It did. I received it today in South Carolina. It has the Samsung arm, but of course it only has a usb cable. it states I will receive the usb/aux cable soon. I can live without the combo cable for a couple of weeks.

Works and looks great..

Using with an S3 for a week or two until I pickup my Note 2.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
so, if you have bt streaming in your car, do you really even need that special cable, or, is there something special it does for you?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
It allows for better quality audio transfer is why I want it. That, and I pre-ordered last year because they said it would be part of it when it was released in January lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
but, in "theory", it doesnt really do anything specific that you cant do some other way, or am I missing something?

I really want the dock, and I guess I can wait for the aux in audio connection, since my bt streaming in my car is pretty sweet..

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ferris2421:
I got my dock today.

I'm having my issues with my Note. It recognizes Im docked but it doesnt put it into that multimedia type dock mode that is displayed in the videos. Anyone know what I need to do?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
You are correct. I do not find the Dock itself useful but got it for the elusive USB AUX cable they promised. I find my iMagnet mount to be easier and more stable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
what does that magnet do to nfc and gps?

I do like the way the ibolt puts the phone into dock mode though..

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
No issues with GPS and I do not have a tag on the magnet so I don't know what would happen. I get in the car, swipe a tag on my dash to turn on bluetooth and turn off WiFi, then attach to the magnet. 3 months, no issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
I believe they also said the cable would be available separately too, once they had enough stock of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
In order to have "Enough Stock", you must start with ONE and apparently that is an ongoing problem. I still believe they cannot make it work with the stock Kernel and they are scrambling to find a solution. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

So I posted this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38764621&highlight=cable#post38764621

a while back about the power through the dock.

Has anyone been able to get a good charge off of theirs?

I used the charger in the picture, this charger: http://www.amazon.com/high-speed-ch...&qid=1364266304&sr=8-9&keywords=trent+charger, and even the original Samsung charger with the inverted. All of them work great when I use any other cable and the various methods, but as soon as I try replacing that cable with the one on the dock (with the newer arm I believe), it drops the power level so much that the battery slowly dies.

I looked, and while plugged in everything says "On AC Power", but with the dock cable it says "discharging" at the same time; using another cable it says "charging" instead.

Screen/GPS/BT/Brightness 100% for all of the tests.

So has anyone been able to charge while using the provided cable?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I charge at a good 1-1.5A with my cable, their flexible arm, and my charger. Phone is idle screen off though. I just got a Samsung tab 2A charger. I'll test that and report back.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
what they are is a chinese company, who has agents in various countries around the world; the people you talk to in Utah are not manufacturing anything, they are just the agents for a chinese mfg. company..

not that unusual now a days in the electronics world, but, thats why there isn't much these people can do, since they dont own the company, they just represent them..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ace862:
Any word yet???

I'm still waiting for this to become available on Amazon.ca. It sucks that Amazon.com will not ship to my Canadian address. Is there any word on when stock will be available? I don't even care about the cable. I just want a sturdy dock that will hold my phone with the case on.

Cheers! :cool:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
No sorry, that is not correct. We at iBOLT don't represent anybody, we are designing and manufacturing our own products entirely. The delay of the aux-cable is only due to some practical issues with one particular vendor not meeting the time line set originally so we had to make a change and that has taken much longer then anticipated. We even have our own employees in China and so forth. We will try to "get back in" and stay more active in this Forum. As a very good "deed" we are posting our new iBOLT Dock'n Drive application as a free download today, see separate post on this thread. Anyone that has purchased the xProDock and waits for the cable will get another email by Monday with a final and firm update, along with a nice offer:) Enjoy your weekend! Mikael Pe Co-Founder

iBOLT Dock'n Drive available as free download...

Hello all car-dock users! We here at iBOLT just posted our 1.0 version of the "Dock'n Drive" app (go easy on the reviews, give us a few weeks to update whatever you don't like..). The app is a continued Development from the well regarded Car Widget that's been available for a couple of years.

It's free for a limited time so take it for a spin and let us know what you think. It obviously works with iBOLT car-docks but also with any other holder/mount if you trigger the App and dock mode from an NFC tag. The user can set up to 18 favorite apps, direct dials, widgets etc. as large, easy to see icons. Calling a direct dial is a "1-touch" experience.

The Dock'n Drive comes with a highly accurate GPS enabled speedometer and Compass. Another good feature is the ability to turn on and off both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when phone is "Docked" and "Un-docked". Imagine stepping into the car from your home or office and the Bluetooth in your phone turns automatically and connects with the Bluetooth system in the car. At the same time Wi-Fi turns off and there's no annoying messages about available network! When un-docking (stepping out of the car) the process is automatically reversed and Wi-Fi is again turned on and Bluetooth turned off. This is just one example of the great setting alternatives.

Currently Samsung Galaxy and HTC handsets feature the automatic triggering of "Dock-mode" when used with an iBOLT product like xProDock. Handsets from LG, Sony and Nexus do NOT have the "Dock mode" turned on and offer no "home button" support. Motorola does but you need their car-docks to make it work. The Dock'n Drive app must therefore be started manually or via an NFC tag when using these brands.

Visit the Google App store and testdrive today! Have fun!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ibolt.carhome&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5pYm9sdC5jYXJob21lIl0.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Ferris, look at the screen shots on the Dock'n Drive app download page, see here. Make sure that you have the "Desk home screen display" checked for the Smartdock mode to kick in. Download the app and go in under "Settings" and then you can reach this screen from "Samsung dock settings". This should work fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
We have sent products to Canada so we hope to have the iBOLT Canada store up and running by April 10th or sooner. I will post once it's up.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Cab121:
Thanks for the update iBolt nice to see any company openly involved especially with the Note II. Most of us here are aware of our phones unique superpowers and it's great when manufacturers offer products that start to tap in to that without the need to hack. So many main stream manufacturers pass up the Note II and many here have that slight burned taste we are all familiar with. Keep up the great support and fine work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
Thank you for coming in and setting the record straight.

Now, where is the best place for a US customer like me to order one right now?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
We only have Amazon.com set up right now. By May we will have lots of re-sellers and stores but until the "famous" aux-cable is available we are limiting distribution to the one channel where we can provide direct customer support. Order the xProDock on our iBOLT webshop or directly on Amazon, same thing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
any coupon codes or special offers going on right now?

thanks again!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zen0s:
Hey MikaelPe, any special offers for people who purchased this dock other than amazon.com? I purchased through shopandroid.com (finally got the shipment notice, I'll be receiving on Monday)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ace862:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
so, is there another dock that does all the things, like fit our phones with a big case, charge it, play music through the AUX input, and put the phone into dock mode?

I really want to order that dock, but, the companys' support and follow through is keeping me from sending them my $$$...

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rfs830:
Here is an email I got from Ibolt

Thank you for ordering the xProDock for Samsung, which you have already received. Based on feedback and Amazon reviews we understand that virtually all xProDock owners are happy with their mount, which is frequently described as “very sturdy and works with my case”. We greatly appreciate all the good and positive Amazon product reviews. Keep ‘em coming! If you have any problem or issue, please contact us via the Amazon email system anytime.

Finally some good news on the 9ft aux out/charging cable that many of you have been waiting for! We can confirm that the cables are in production. We anticipate being able to send all these items out before or in the week of the 26th of April. You will receive a 2nd email with shipment confirmation at that time along with a user guide and video showing the functionality. We apologize for the delay!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
so, I guess I will order one the week of 4-26. or once someone confirms here that they actually got theirs..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] raiu:
I got the email..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bunnybash:
Sigh... tried to order one of these but no shipping to Australia for some reason.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] firewater88:
I have had the dock for a while now and really like it. Used it on two major trips recently and it was great. On a portable style mount it didn't shake at all. On my dash mount there is some shake to it while driving.

Now that the Note has been in and out of the mount a bit, the spring arm feels loose when phone is not in it. I can't recall if that is the way it was new or not. Can someone check theirs? It also seems that the rear body kinda splits a bit. Want to check others before I contact Ibolt (I know they also watch these forums)

Thanks

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
MikaelPe- While reading up on the S3 forums, it seems that Sammy JB smartdock mode must be enabled with a 40.2k ohm resistor across pins 4 and 5 with D+/D- shorted, then after a couple hundred milliseconds a disconnect of the data pins. That sort of thing requires a small circuit at least. Are you really enabling smartdock mode or are you using audiodock mode with your new y-cable and reinforced usb arm being shipped soon (by the 26th)? Audiodock mode to my knowledge uses a 64.9K ohm value across pins 4 and 5 with no D+/D- detection required so it should be a lot easier. I know you have spent considerable time in the research of this since Samsung basically screwed us with JB, I'm just trying to understand how it all works. Thanks for the help.

New Dock'n Drive App with video from iBOLT

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:) Take a look and keep the conversation going... And to all out there that are waiting for the famous 9ft aux-out/charging cable, it's coming! The 1st shipment is in the air this week so by end of months everyone that we've promised should have received a shipping notification. We are coordinating with our friends at AndroidCentral and the few other reseller that are offering our products so they will get it at the same time. Stay tuned..

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Wase47... See posting above regarding new Dock'n Drive App and video. I am also covering the fact that the almost mythical 9ft cable is indeed produced and first shipment is in the air direction USA this week so we will ship a ton of these next week as promised:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
ok, you have promised this a few times before, so I will wait until an actual member here says they actually got their cable...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borgdog:
Mine are rubbing off somewhat as well. After using it a while I would think the adjustable arms part is unnecessary considering they don't stay in place, and there is plenty of grib from the spring arm to hold the phone firmly without the notched arms. Basically make the bottom two arms fixed and shaped like the spring arm would be easier and work just as well imo.

Looking forward to getting the unicorn cable so I can take my dash apart and put everything behind it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
I see you are providing your "dock n drive" app free for 15 days; what happens after 15 days? How much will it be to "keep" the app after that?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ScandaLeX:
You'd think the massive delays from dock to cable would automatically come with free software.

I'm sorry but it seems this company will get you for every nickel they can while making A LOT of promises.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ProximaC:
What are you talking about? The app is free, they're giving the cable to everyone who's bought the dock for free. I don't see anywhere where they're asking for more money. Maybe you should wait to see if they start charging for the app before *****ing about how they're charging for the app.

The only legitimate complaint is the cable is late. Sometimes manufacturing problems happen. Especially with new products. Even more especially to smaller companies.

Go smoke a bowl or something. The cable will get here when it gets here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
lol@smoke a bowl....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ScandaLeX:
I don't smoke but thanks for the offer. Maybe you should smoke a bowl instead. The app is free for 15 days
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
ScandaLeX, why are you bad mouthing us at every turn? The LOT of promise is all about one cable. I have purchased products online for probably 10-12 years now and nobody has ever communicated with me multiple times when there's a delay. We answers our phones, we reply to 100's of individual emails per week and we are active in many Forum's around the world, what else can we do when there's a delay on a component that is to a large extend beyond our control?

Everyone that bought the xProDock (pretty much) agrees that its a very, very good product. We never dispute if anyone wants to return a product or exchange it if it's a reasonable request. The app that is online is not expiring and if we do set a future update with a time limit we will email everybody that bought an iBOLT car-dock from us a link to permanent download.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PhilipTD:
Someday, I'm going to make something like this.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SmithyNZ:
@all

Pls stay friendly. I'm sure iBOLT is doing the best to get the cable problem sorted. Cables will hopefully be shipped soonish. I have the app installed longer than 15 days now and it's not expiring. So heads up! :good: :cowboy:

I have the ibolt dock but stopped using it

When I ordered I was told I could choose an amps mount plate in place of the windscreen mount. Didn't happen.

Emailed ibolt and some time later got a reply and sent my address for the amps plate to be shipped to. Didn't happen.

In a never ending attempt to get the screw tight on the back I split the nut. Made the dock Un usable.

Ended up cutting up a Brodit tomtom dock that has a ball and socket on and attaching it with epoxy and screws to the back of the ibolt mount. Looked awful but worked. Finally.

I've noticed now though that the rubber on the adjustable arms are wearing off and even though I have 'adjusted' the spring it's still very hard to get the device in when it's in a defender case so I've given up on it and reverted back to my home made dock consisting of a defender belt clip mounted on a move able Brodit mount.

Sorry ibolt

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SilentO:
I have the Samsung car mount for the note 2. I have been using it and it works great. I want to get the ibolt so that I can mount it to my air vent. Anyone recommend the ibolt xprodock?

I have the vent kit from my old ibolt prodock which I will reuse with the xprodock if I get it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nunyabiziz:
I would not recommend the ibolt and a vent mount. The spring loaded design in my eyes was not designed with vent mounting in mind. Great mount but whatever surface it's to be attached to needs to be solid!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sshafranko:
Mine still works great. I use it just about every day. When i first received it i removed one of the springs and it works awesome. It even holds up in portrait mode.

The only complaint i have is with the 50 foot long cable that doesnt work.
