I believe the 2 files they're referring to are the system files that flash the stock recovery upon reboot if stock isn't installed. Though the easiest way to install the twrp recovery is install the goo manager app and install from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
just did it as we speak!!! thanks, so i just download and flash just as i would've on my evo3d?...

any rom recommendations?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
First...welcome and thank you for actually posting your question in the correct section.

Second...tip: put part of your question in the subject when making a thread so people will know what you are asking and you will get more answers more quickly.

Enjoy!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
No worries, and correct.

Once in the goo manager app

-press menu

-select the 'open script recovery' option > accept the message

-it will download and install

-reboot into recovery and you're done

And as of roms, it depends; if you like touchwiz, i personally recommend blazer rom - phantom hacker, fre3 gs3 - clark44 ; and if on aosp: aokp, miui, and can't go wrong with straight cm10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
how do i know if im completely up to date, firmware, radio etc...and i see two sections...original android dev. and just android dev. which one i use?

again thanks

original?...whats the diff? think im done now

thanks lots!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well if you just got the phone, then you're up to date. I believe the latest modem is LJ7, which you can flash from one of the threads. And you'd use both sections; the dev is mainly things that may work on any us gs3 variant, such as roms ported from other carriers, mods, etc, and the original dev is more of the thing unique to this device or built from the ground up for this device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
you say lj7, my signature says l7, confused
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
L710 was the initial modem, so you're not up to date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
so can i flash lj7 roms? or just l710 roms

should i update the modem? and i see a lot of roms in one of the sections 4.1.etc...im 4.0.4, how to i go about updating that?

again thanks so much!

hate having to relearn stuff...lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You don't have to update the modem, but you can if you wish; and you can flash any sprint rom you want. Additionly, the 4.0.4, 4.1, 4.1.2 are just the version of android the rom is based on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
No worries there.

I ordered the Infuse 4g dock from ATT for $5 shipped because it was supposedly a perfect fit for the Samsung Galaxy S3. However I sold my S3 for the Nexus.

To my pleasant surprise, the dock fits perfectly with the N4, maybe even a little snug when trying to take it back out.

Hope y'all can find some for cheap!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] shigga:
Does the infuse car dock charge the N4?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Looking at those pictures, do the mount points scratch the phone at all? Are the corners of the dock rubbery? Looks like a good option till some magnetic/wireless charging mounts come out (if ever!).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lt.Tealc:
Where did u get that for 5$:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siscim23:
This dock does work as well, I had this for my Infuse. It isn't a tight fit, but the gap on each side of the phone is probably the thickness of a sheet of paper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] steslatt:
Does it? Dam I just gave my dock away to :/

It's hard to believe it fits since all the dimensions are bigger on the nexus, maybe its because of the corners being more rounded on the nexus.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] astromanic:
it was available for awhile from the att store before sd blew it up
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mZimm:

So the infuse vehicle dock, does it have a 3.5mm line out? This I assume is designed to work with USB audio out. Does it work with the N4 and actually output sound?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Radiocore:
buiorTr refuse

The problem with this one though is that it doesn't hold your cables in place. The infuse dock looks like it has a built in micro usb connector that would plug into the bottom of the phone, with the ability to attach both a charging cable and a 3.5mm line out cable that could be always connected to the dock. I don't think anyone has confirmed that charging actually works though, or if the line out works. Anyone out there know?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mastermind278:
I have tried my Infuse dock on the Nexus 4.

It fits quite nicely into the dock.

It does charge the phone, however it doesn't seem to do AUDIO out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] backtoreality15:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] K Rich:
Would audio out work if you flashed CM10 with the dock settings?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Kaaji1359:
I'm just going to wait for an official Nexus 4 car dock that actually charges and more importantly does audio out when you plug it in. I ordered 3 different car docks for my S2 Skyrocket when I first got it only to be disappointed with each due to them "fitting," but not charging or audio out.

The Nexus 4 will be the same. We'll just have to wait for an official car dock, which IS being worked on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Coop1979:
I wanted to follow-up on this thread, as I have the N4 and both the desktop dock and the car dock. They do charge the Nexus (and fit great!), but they only charge at the USB rate - NOT at the AC rate. This means that if you're using it for Navigation, the charger will not be able to keep up. I used the exact same car charger that I use for my Note 2 and while the Note 2 will charge at the AC rate, the Nexus will not.

Hopefully someone will have a fix on the way.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 3rob3:
How about audio out? I assume that doesn't work on these docks?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wetwillycf:
Just got mine an hour ago. The audio out does NOT work.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] wetwillycf:
Got home late from work, sorry.

Meh, I was streaming sports radio and navigating to work and it dropped 1% every 5-10 minutes. I know that's not representative of just navigating, but that's not good enough for me. I'm returning the car dock.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Guys,

thanks to the hints here re: usage of the Samsung Car dock, a number of people in other forums picked up the idea.

Now, whilst the phone fits perfectly, 2 issues prevent daily usage:

1. GPS dampening due to some resistors in the charging module of the connector unit

2. USB instead of AC mode when charging

Thanks to user "blackmesa" in a German forum, the following procedure can be applied to remove these issues.

- Open the connector unit (using a small screwdriver or cutter) - see the 2 black plastic holders in Pic, this is where I started to open the case (one of them is in the large red circle

- Remove the audio aux unit/connector (GPS dampening, marked by large circle in pic)- I used a pincer/plier to remove it.

- Remove 2 resistors (R1 and R2) by using a sharp knife or a razorblade, they come of easily - also to prevent loss/dampening of GPS signal

- Bridge the 2 USB contacts (see red line in attached PIC) - this ensures that you charge with AC instead of USB mode

- Test before closing the case

See image attached. Opening the unit can be a little tricky, but then again if you are careful the damage is very limited.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dispatch:
Thanks! Do you happen to know if it's even possible to route audio out of the USB (whether for this dock or any other dock) -- e.g. is the phone capable of it or does it HAVE to output via the headphone stereo jack?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
AFAIK USB DAC Audio-out is not supported - at all - on the N4. I would be very surprised if it was given google didnt even allow +5v on the N4 USB for USB-OTG or similar applications. So i would assume to get audio in your car:

1. Use the USB cable to connect your N4 to your car directly if you have a USB in connector - given it uses MPT/PTP mode, this does not work on all vehicles. That however means that the USB connector would only charge in USB mode to be best of my knowledge - and again, I never got it to work with my USB in of my car as it expects a normal USB drive and not a PTP/MPT enabled device

2. Use the audio aux (given it is on the top you can acutally use it whilst having the N4 plugged into the Samsung car dock)

3. Use bluetooth audio if you car/audio system supports it - or buy a Bluetooth Stereo received that pairs with your N4 and then connects to the Audio-Aux in of your car stereo
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dispatch:
Many thanks for the clear (and technical) explanation. I should get my car system into the 2000s and get a bluetooth adapter for my head unit.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Alwyna:
If i'm putting the N4 into the Infuse Dock the charger-thing kind of stucks because it's a bit out of line. I have to move the lower part of the N4 a bit to me so the charger gets in the N4. Does anyone have this, too?

With charger i mean this thing you move up that the device is loading. Before the N4 i've got an SGS2 with the SGS2 car dock - there it wasn't a problem to move this thing up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] siscim23:
Yeah same thing here, but you have to move it like a hair. If I pu tthe phone against the back of the dock and kind of let it slide down it works fine. For a device from a completely different manufacturer to fit this well, you can't complain.

And of course your SGS2 is going to fit in the SGS2 dock.......
[Nexus 4 Accessories] blackmesax:
You're welcome.

Even in AC mode the Sony AN400 charger (rated 1200 mAh) almost can't cope with the power consumption while playing ingress. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] evaradar:
Does it also charge the phone? I see a space between the two.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hypnoticjester:
So let me get this straight. The part with the BIG circle around the white rectangular part, you pretty much cut/pull that part out?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Yes. It is the audio aux outlet that sits there simply cut or pull it out
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Alwyna:
You got me wrong dude :) I know i can't complain about it and i didn't meant to! Just saying it and maybe someone got a decent solution for this. But i will try your little trick here. Thanks!

I drilled a hole, so I can use it as a dash camera if necessary. Still debating on doing the charging mod.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vkelman:
I wonder if leaving Nexus 4 on [this] dock would harm its battery over long term. All the sources say it's better for batteries to be fully charged and then almost fully discharged, rather than kept charged all the time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrbkkt1:
I dunno. Stock, it's a trickle charge unless you mod it. I did, and get ac charge.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] M3Rocket:
Easier still--instead of modding it and trying to solder those two very small points together, just get a USB charging cable and a USB 2.1 amp charger and hook that up to the car dock!

1. Get a bullet-type 2.1 amp USB charger:

http://www.amazon.com/iFlash-Lighter...=pd_sbs_misc_7

2. Add a "charge only" USB cable:

http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-US...charging+cable
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrbkkt1:
That would completely make useless the fact that it has a fixed micro USB that attached to the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] absentspace:
Does Not Support Slimport

I bought one of these on ebay hoping that it would work with my pioneer appradio 2. The fit is snug enough that i would be comfortable mounting my phone to the windshield, but it does not pass the video through the micro usb connection. Just a heads up if anyone else was using it for a similar setup.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] M3Rocket:
How so? You still plug in the cable to the cradle. The fixed USB on the cradle doesn't have a permanent USB to charger cable on it. You can attach any micro USB cable to it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cryptiksouls:
The resistors on the internal circuit board and the wiring configuration to the USB connector in the dock will prevent it from charging any faster than 500mah unless you mod it. It doesn't matter what the charger you plug into the dock is rated.

It's not a difficult mod to do, I left the audio out connector in place on mine as I don't see how that can alter GPS performance, removing the resistors was no trouble and although it was a bit fiddly I managed to solder the two small connectors together even though I was using a big clumsy soldering iron. Essentially it is a 5 minute mod and I now have a working car dock for my N4, thanks to everyone who shared the info!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] M3Rocket:
I agree. The resistors are easy to remove. The headphone jack is also quite easy--I just destroyed it with wire cutters and pulled the leads out. It took a lot longer figuring out how to open it without damaging the cover. But trying to solder the two points requires buying/having soldering iron and some soldering skills. A lot easier to just buy the "USB Charging Cable" that already has the lead bridged in the cable for me.

Either way, I can't see a more economical, better looking solution than this bargain Samsung car dock.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cchant:
neither of those links work

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Thjalfi:
I was also unhappy with the charging, even more so because the dock fits so well mechanically and there is no fiddling with the cable any more.

After some consideration I developed this exact mod on my own, well I should have read more XDA.

One thing I did differently is that I did not remove the audio jack, only the two resistors. Still, it is recognized as AC now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] longebane:
I've tried this holder with the nexus 4 and it's a pretty snug fit and recommended it to my brother
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cchant:
I'll answer my own question for anyone that was wondering the same. The phone fits almost perfectly without a case. You have to slightly adjust the slide when plugging it in but it doesn't seem to stress the plug much.

I tried it with my slim diztronic hard case and while it will actually fit into the dock, you can't slide the plug in. Any adjustment seems like it will put to much stress on the phones USB port and even when I did get it to close it wouldn't charge because the slide wouldn't close fully.

Using my stock cable it would use USB charging mode but if you use a custom kernel such as Franco then he has an option to enable full power USB charging. That said I bought a data only USB cable to keep in my truck.

The Micro USB socket was a bit "rough" (I had to jiggle it a bit to fit it into the N4) - to solve that I loosened the PCB / took out the screws, plugged the Micro USB socket into the N4 and re-tightened the screws. Now it fits great. :good:

I didn't see anything about the Infuse 4g multimedia dock, getting AC mode. I knew it worked for the Nexus 4, just not on AC mode. So I had a friend help me out with the soldering and we (he) made it work.

1. Remove the front face, using a small screwdriver or razor blade. This front face is held on the sides and bottom by a small clip, nothing like the car mode clips though.

2. Remove the four screws holding the front plate on

3. Slide off the front plate, but be careful since there are a few cables attached.

4. Flip over the dock and bridge the same points as on the car dock. I didn't remove the resistors and I am getting AC mode.

5. Test before reassembly, then reverse the steps to put the dock back together.
