Is this the same xProDock for the Note 2? The shipping date I found for it on Amazon was 1/31/13 and it does not say anything about including a charging device or air vent attachment. Where did you purchase yours?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
I ordered two of these units from Amazon on Thursday of last week (1/24). I got a notice they shipped on Friday (1/25), and they were delivered yesterday (1/28). The boxes were two plain white shipping boxes, no retail packaging at all. In each box was a glass mount & nut, the phone holder and the dash mount disk and instructions on how to insert the phone using one hand. Included in the instructions are how to install the USB cables (once they arrive).

Different from other docks I've seen, the USB cable does NOT plug into the dock itself, but instead directly into the metal portion, which is really a USB pigtail. The pigtail mounts to the back of the dock, then the USB cable plugs into the pigtail. The pigtail can be mounted so the connection is on the right or left side.

I did not get an estimate on when the USB and pigtail will arrive, other than the general message on the Amazon page. My guess, given they started shipping the mounts early, is that the USB cables will ship as soon as they get them, probably ahead of the estimated March date.

I had bought two of the iBolt S3 car mounts just before Christmas. We happen to have an older SGS4G still in use which didn't work with that dock, and I was thrilled to learn that the xProDock works on just about any Samsung smartphone including the SGS4G, so "one dock to rule them all", as they say. I was doubly thrilled to find out that I could RMA the original docks as "no longer wanted" with Amazon, and triply thrilled that the xProDock is actually cheaper than the S3 specific mounts.

Check out CarHome Ultra... Had the same problem with iBolt version, now they have kindly organise a replacement which supports the dock mode...

Give CarHome Ultra a test run, I. The really liking it so far... Less than 3 weeks on trial.

So why is there 2 different docks I'm confused and what the hell are Samsung playing at with dock mode I want this one but no point if it don't charge?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
So can I still have the dock in the pic or has it been completely replaced by this other one that you can keep the case on and still use I for one would like the one in the pic as I don't really use a case ( MY S3 GOES COMMANDO) and the newer one seems like a really expensive universal dock.....just my opinion like :D

The S3 Dock will still be around for a while, as long as there is demand. The xProDock fits with all cases, even Otterbox Defender, that's the real benefit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
So does the S3 dock put the phone into carmode as well or is that just the X pro dock?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
Just got my pigtails today, and I am totally confused by the car-mode situation. It appears that with this pigtail, all my Samsung phones from the GS4G to the S3 all go into desktop mode, not car mode.

From the description above, this seems to be something that Samsung has done, but my phones are on a US carrier and car mode is still there. The problem is none of the car-mode apps I have show up in the selection list when in desktop mode.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lanwarrior:
Hmm.. that's not good. The MAIN selling point for buying this dock is the car-mode feature. No any other dock (apart from Samsung own dock) have this feature, AFAIK.

Try it with Car Home Ultra (trial-mode available) and see what happens. Also, try with another phone (Note, S2, etc.) if you have one laying around.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
I tried the pigtail on two S3s, one AT&T and a T-Mobile both running JB 4.1.1, and an SG4G running ICS 4.0.4. All of them did the same thing when it was plugged in... Desktop mode triggered, not car mode. I tried using CHU, Car Dock Home v3, and Ulysse Speedometer. The only programs that show up in the selection list are the alarm clock programs I have installed.

I did notice the pigtail has a sticker on it that says "SAM". Don't know if that simply means Samsung, or if that is marking international units that don't have car dock mode, from my understanding of what I've read from a iBolt.

The way around this so far is adding an event rule in Llama that activates car mode when desk mode is entered. Unfortunately, that doesn't launch the application selector, so I had to add an extra action to the event to launch the car application of my choice. I didn't add a rule to cancel car mode, and but pulling the pigtail alone seems to cancel car mode.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lanwarrior:
I think you should email iBOLT. They advertised that this particular dock will start Car Mode, at least for Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hekademos:
I did a little research on this last night as my dock just arrived yesterday and I'm having the same problem. As far as i can tell we are having the same problem as the EU people were having. And sorry in advance if anything im writing here is redundant. I skimmed the whole thread but might have missed some posts.

This is the most concise explanaition I've found (from an ibolt rep on androidcentral):

there is also a more confusing post on xda in the last post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879633&page=11

and finally an official announcement on iBolts site: http://www.ibolt.co/news/jellybean-announcement

The thing is that all of these posts are referring to the unbranded and Euro versions of the GSIII. They all claim that US carrier branded phones should work fine. I'm currently running Wicked v7 with the DX kernel so it made me wonder if everyone else running into this problem is running custom roms and if it is actually a kernel problem. Has anyone had this problem with a stock ROM Tmo GSIII? I'd like to point out, though, that the first quote is correct that driving mode is still functional and starts up when i manually run CarHome Ultra. Its main purpose seems to be to make CarHome Ultra the home page instead of the normal launcher.

I had the idea to try and use tasker to simulate what happens when car dock mode is initiated and trigger CarHome Ultra but quickly got in way over my head as my aptitude for any kind of programming is pretty meek. Someone who is more comfortable with the tasker app might have better luck than me.

Another possible solution that was mentioned is to use an NFC Tag to trigger CarHome Ultra as well which is what i might resort to unless this is fixed very soon.

Im going to do some more research tonight and see if i dont turn up something new.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
My wife's S3 is a stock T-Mobile ROM. No new kernel, but it is rooted and has a few mods like 23 toggles (or however many there are today). My S3 is AT&T, but I'm running a ROM based on Verizon stock, and a custom kernel (looks like iX kernel), also have an older SGS4G. I've already outlined earlier which are JB and which are ICS...the point is that it does the same thing on all ROMS...it triggers desk mode and not car mode.

AW: Anyone else pre-order the iBOLT xProDock Kit for Samsung?

Anyone else sen this? When I use usb adapter for the cigarette lighter and connect my phone to it I'm getting a high whistling sound with a decreasing frequency added to the audio signal (using an audio cable with 3.5 mm jacks) When I disconnect the charger the sound vanishes.

Any ideas or hints?

It could also be a sloppy charger design.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hekademos:
I just tested the NFC tag solution and it works great and is very easy, especially if you use CarHome Ultra.

In my situation, since i use an aftermarket bluetooth receiver to connect audio to my car (the HTC A200), all i had to do was set up an NFC tag that turns on bluetooth and connects to my bluetooth receiver. Then, in the settings in CarHome Ultra, you can select that CarHome Ultra automatically launches itself and triggers driving mode when you connect to specific device. CarHome Ultra also automatically quits and disables bluetooth when you unplug it from the dock.

In short NFC Tag > Bluetooth Receiver Connect > CarHome Ultra > Driving Mode

You can probably set up the NFC tag to launch CarHome Ultra on its own as well and skip the bluetooth step.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MikaelPe:
I'm with iBOLT and the whole issue with "car-mode" versus "Smartdock mode" is pretty simple. Samsung have made a decision not to support the car-mode anymore except if a US Carriers asks them to. This means that with the exception of Galaxy S III for Verizon (which have requested this feature from Samsung) there's no guarantee from Samsung that car-mode will be supported on any other phone model. The Note II for example does not support car-mode on any model we've seen, even from Verizon. We have direct contact with Samsung and they have advised us to instead start supporting "Smartdock mode" (formerly called desktop mode).

Therefore our new xProDock triggers the Smardock mode and this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k97vG2Fjvkg (fast forward to 2:24) you can see how the Samsung desktop application can be made into a car-driving app in a minute or two. Just make sure you go to "Settings-Accessories-Desktop home screen display". However, we expect most car-mode developers to release an update within the near future to support the new directive from Samsung that "Smartdock mode" is the new standard. Please be patient for a few weeks and the apps will show up, we will create a a twitter account for this issue as well as keep posting in these forums. Of course you can always use an NFC tag an trigger an application like CarHome Ultra when using the xProDock. Just remember to turn off "desk home screen display" so there's only one docking app running. Hope the above explanation helps?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tonysunshine:
What do you do when you leave the car? Just manually turn off bluetooth or do you have a different nfc tag to turn off bluetooth?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hekademos:
CarHome Ultra can be set to turn off bluetooth when it exits as well. Its actually the same setting as triggering CHU when you connect to a certain bluetooth device.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
I understand what you are saying, BUT, that strands older units like my Galaxy S 4G, which is stuck on ICS, and since Smartdock mode is only for JB and later, no car mode. Just as with my current S3's, both on JB, the xProDock is starting desk mode (Which I guess Samsung is using as the basis for Smartdock mode).

Car mode is important to some of us because we use automation software (llama, tasker) that modifies behavior based on whether car mode is enabled or not. The semi-kludgey solution I've got right now is when desk mode is entered, switch everything over to car mode.

Very annoying since the dock you made specifically for S2/S3 started car mode just fine.

New Car Home Ultra update works w/GS3 and xProDock

The CHU update that I received today (v3.18) works with the SmartDock mode activated by the connecting the xProDock's pigtail to my GS3. To make it work, I went into the dock settings and checked the "desk home screen display" button, then plugged in the pigtail. This brought up the dialog asking me to choose whether to launch CHU or Desk Clock, once or always

SmartDock mode launching CHU is in line with what iBolt told me when I called them last week. They said that they were working with developers of key apps, including CHU, to update those apps to work with the SmartDock mode that the iBolt pigtail launches. iBolt also told me that they're working on their own dock app, which they hoped to make available (possibly in beta?) early this week to those who purchased the dock.

In very limited testing, I see that launching an app from CHU (like Phone or Maps) and then pressing the home key brings me back to my regular launcher (I'm using stock TouchWiz) rather than the CHU home screen, but I recall seeing something about that being a limitation of the GS3 and something for which the CHU developer had or was developing a workaround.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] westentertainer:
i dont see the point of this mount when you have to plug in the micro usb into the side of the phone,not actually an active charger,if you have to plug it in why not use any mount?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
What you are missing is that the charger plugs into the pigtail. The pigtail is simply an extender cable that plugs into your charging cable and triggers dock mode. It's got standoff connectors which allow it to be mounted to the back of the iBolt mount, but there really isn't any reason you couldn't use it with another mount...a bit expensive to buy the whole unit just for the pigtail, though. The mount itself is a good design.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

We got the CHU update as well. My wife and son use it, but I'm partial to Car Dock Home v3 since it supports widgets on the main screen and CDHv3 doesn't support smart dock yet. However, that developer makes another program that triggers car mode, so it's easy enough to launch it when dock mode is entered.

For CHU, be sure to turn on the option to force car mode when it runs. That should take care of your home button problem.

I look forward to trying an iBolt developed dock program. Perhaps that's what is shown in their online video on how to use the dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gadget_fan:
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that option, but it didn't help. I recall the CHU developer saying something about it being a bug in JB.

Glad it's not just me that couldn't figure out what program was shown in iBolt's video. I came to the same conclusion, though, that it must be their in-house app.

Hi all.

I recently acquired a Trio M4302 4.3 inch Internet Tablet to try Android out, being a long time iOS user. My question is this. I'm looking for a way to a.) Get Google Play running on here, and b.) either flash a phone ROM or to turn on phone mode in ICS because the tablet interface is just too big for this little screen.. does anyone know of anything? Thanks in advance for the help!

Trio 4.3 root and Google Play Store

Hi,

I just picked this tablet up. I have successfully rooted it and have installed a working Play Store. I now have access to all my apps that I use on my Galaxy Note 10.1.

To root I used the instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Once I had root I wanted to get Google Play Store on the tab. I found a couple of places that had information concerning adding Play Store to other devices and kind of pieced the info together to come up with this solution.

1. Download gapps for ICS. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

2. Unzip file

3. Navigate to the " System/app " folder and find "phonesky.apk and setupwizard.apk"

(You will need to copy these two files to your tablet)

4. Once files are on tablet use something like "Root Explorer" to copy both to the "system/app" folder of the tablet.

(The folders will need to be mounted as "R/W" so they can be written to )

5. After the files are copied to the proper folder, you need to edit the permissions for both.

6. In "Root Explorer" long press on each file and choose "permissions"

7. Edit permissions to read "Owner: Read, Write" "Group: Read" "Others: Read"

8. Reboot and launch Play Store

Hope it works for you!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iSubaru:
Hello there

I have Samsung Galaxy S I with CyanogenMod 9 installed. One day I have rebooted it like every other time I do (reset memory and overall refresh), however that one time it haven't turned up again, it was stuck at CyanogenMod 9 loading screen (now it's stuck on Galaxy S screen).

I don't know what could get damaged to be honest, however according to ClockWorkMod both internal and external memory are readable.

I would like to backup some stuff before doing reinstall to any software since I have some important data including:

- Whole internal memory card (I can plug out external one and free it for the purpose)

- Contacts that are saved in phone memory (I have probably few of them there, my bad)

- SMS (if possible but not that much important as previous ones)

- Notes (not sure if I made any but...)

What I can still run

- Download mode

- ClockWorkMod mode (tough I have some old version there, however it should be possible to upload newer with download mode I guess?)

If some other info is required I will try to provide it as soon as possible

Thank You for advance and have a nice day

Correct, all languages are available on any CID stock ROM but they are disabled according to the region of the CID. On a custom ROM, they can be enabled.

Or for the stock ROM, they can use more locale 2 app to enable other languages disabled in their device.

Or they can try this :

Go to Settings - Apps - All - Customization Settings Provider - Disable it

Then go to Language & keyboard - System Language - Select your required language
