The solution to this problem is a get a thin piece of magentic material and wedge it between phone and case. There are tons of ebay and amazon car mounts that function like that, you stick a thin scrap of iron under your phone back and bam, magnetic docking. Just do that, if you are going case free you are sol but I doubt many people do that.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] arvonn:
Partially correct, yes the micro suction foam can get dirty, which reduces the sticking ability, but even a freshly cleaned surface in good condition does not stick to my n6 in any practical manner. The same surface adheres like glue to a nexus 5 or nexus 4, but the nexus 6 curved back is Airdock-o-phobic, it just doesn't stick.

It would be nice is there was some fix, a particular case, or an adhesive shim which would help. Or even a replacement back cover which was slightly flatter, with a different coating that would sick to the Airdock better....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
yep, that's what I was thinking if it's needed. A curved adapter with a slick or magnetic back to act as a go-between between the airdock and the phone. Probably end up making one myself, it wouldn't be very difficult if the tools are at hand. Have to stay thin tho so the Qi is allowed to work.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
Man do I miss using my AirDock. I feel like a damn fool having to click my other mount's brackets to hold my phone and plugging in my phone in the car. It's terrible! (yes, I know - talk about first work problems).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ghost_1:
I feel you that one. I broke down and ordered an Air Dock 2 hoping it will work. In the meantime I've been using this:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M685JNW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0y4Fub0EZCJS7

It works fine with my Ringke slim case and is a tight fit with my Cruzerlite TPU case though. I still miss the slap on and go...from the nexus 5 and the original air dock.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gbrandel:
I cleaned my airdock surface the first day I got the n6 (nov 30) with an alchohol wipe and have been using it without issue ever since.. my phone is on the extended arm mount that airdock sells, and I have it tipped back a bit, it's definitely not vertical.. but so far it's not fallen off once and I'm in and out of my truck a lot for work.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ghost_1:
Guess I'll go give that a try later! ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Wish I knew this before cyber Monday ended. Bah. I'll wait for the new Tylt car / Qi charger
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gbrandel:
well.. I feel compelled to clarify a bit though, it works, my phone has not slipped or fallen off, but it DEFINITELY doesn't lock into place and line up perfectly like my n5 did. I'm already to a point where I stick it on so it charges fine first try, but you have to put the phone in place so the lower half is the contact point as the qi seems to be on the lower part of the phone..

I dunno, it's certainly not perfect, but I'm happy to say it's working (so far) for charging and is on there securely enough to not fall off. I had to drive over a nice bumpy ice pile this morning, so I was watching the phone out of the corner of my eye, and it stayed secure.. ymmv
[Nexus 6 Accessories] knitler:
Pick up a LG WCP-300 cheap on Amazon/ebay. It works with my BearMotion case still on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] arvonn:
I just received confirmation that the hint has been received, and a response is on its way.

So we shall have to wait and see what is coming, but it is a coming! :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I should have pre-ordered on black Friday! I asked on their Facebook and never got a response... I can't handle this!

Anyone order a airdock 2.0? Hear how it works?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aka757:
2.0 hasn't actually been released yet, but the airdock guy tested it with the nexus 6, and he said it seems to work fine. If you look on the Indiegogo page for 2.0, the video shows it being used just fine with the n6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
The problem with the AirDock and the N6, as pointed out above, is that although you can get it to kind of stick to the AirDock, I think you're really risking the phone falling off when driving over bumps. The weight of the N6 plus the less than ideal coupling between the N6 and the AirDock is a really risky combination, IMO.

I'd settle for a wireless car mount with brackets for now, but ever since discovering cd tray brackets, I just can't go back to suction mounts. They're awful, and again, I think the weight of the N6 plus a suction mount is asking for trouble. And unfortunately, I can't find a cd tray wireless mount anywhere (other than the AirDock).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss :cool:

While I like the AirDock 2.0 idea I'm just not going to buy a new dock every time I upgrade.

/fingers crossed!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kregstrong:
That's exactly what I'm looking for but can't find a decent one. Need a CD tray holder cause suction won't work in my truck
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aergern:
v2.0 is of Air Dock is going to come in a version for the N6 and have a curved surface to fit the N6. So .. yep. :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ninjoe8:
I'd get a ProClip instead. I used to have a CD Tray holder. It destroyed the foam in the CD Slot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Source?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aergern:
I was one of the first to support Air Dock when they were raising cash. Due to a busy work schedule and being a bit brain dead .. I forgot about it. They never sent me my AirDock. When I remember this and email them ... he offered to send and ask which phone I had. I said an N6. This was his reply.

--

So, the Nexus 6 is a little tricky to keep attached to the Air Dock.

We haven't officially supported it as of right now because of this.

We are working to develop a modified version of the Air Dock that will be specific for the Nexus 6 in the near future.

At this point I can do a couple of things for you.

1 - I can send you a current generation Air Dock.

We have found it to work ok, if the following is done:

Keep the face of the dock clean. (wipe it with a damp cloth if it gets dirty)

Tilt the dock back a little bit.

Press the Nexus 6 into the face of the dock firmly.

2 - I can wait, and send you one of the new versions in a month or two when they are ready.

3 - I can refund your purchase.

It's all up to you. The current version of the Air Dock will work with all the phones we "officially" support.

---

So as you can see they are working on a v2 that will work specifically with the N6. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Nice dude! Glad I didn't pre-order on black Friday then since there will be something specific.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kregstrong:
Which is a good proclip for the n6?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
Where'd you get this from?

EDIT: nevermind :) Although the post didn't exactly say V2.0 had a curved plate, did he?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
I'm fine with destroying my cd tray. I can say with confidence that I'll never play a cd again.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ninjoe8:
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/accessories/proclip-universal-car-mount-t2948846

consensus is the Large Universal one; however, there is word that proclip may make one specifically for the N6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aergern:
It was a large thread between he and I but no .. he didn't use the word curved. He did say it would be "specific" to the Nexus 6 which probably means curved to fit .. I didn't take it as size specific but he could have meant it that way. I didn't pick that nit. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
I understand. I'm just hoping for a v1 adapter rather than trying to get me to cough up another $70! :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aergern:
Yeah. I get you. I'm just in a weird spot where they never sent me a v1 so I'll just start out with v2. Maybe email them for specifics?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
Well supposedly something is in motion :) We shall see. Besides, I don't have a phone :p
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jumbie:
Just wanted to update that I placed the thinner metal plate that come with the Mountek nGroove Snap 2 between my phone and the Spigen case and it works great.

Waiting for my Tilt Vu Qi charger to arrive to see how that will work with the metal plate partially over the coil. May have to get creative like someone suggested earlier in the thread.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] westw:
Have you tested it?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] a.gu:
Well, that is unfortunate.. good thing I never bought one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jumbie:
Still waiting for the charger to ship. I'm one of the many people who ordered with their Black Friday discount who hasn't heard a peep from them since (other than their BS generic, mass e-mail).

Ringke MAX Case + Metal Disks working with Air Dock

I ordered the Ringke MAX case. It has two layers, so I took them apart, and placed four of the metal Z Palette disks to either side of the clear strip so they are not visible. It helps to align these around the Qi sensor. Once places, reassemble the case and place the phone in it. This holds my phone very firmly, and manages to pick up a charge. I'm going to try something similar with the Slim case to see if I can get a better charge, but at least it appears to be working to hold a charge with this combination.

DIY Magnetic Dock for Nexus 6

After having a Nexus 5 and the magnetic Nexus Qi Charger, I needed a new solution for the Nexus 6 in my car. I decided it was time to build one. This was also a great chance to play with Sugru. It is an amazing material that is like playdough at room temperature, but it sets slowly (24 hours) once it makes contact with the air, and it sticks to almost anything. It is strong, flexible, and bonds well.

To make the dock, I got:

* a very thin case (Spigen Ultrathin)

* some thin magnets (1/2" x 1/16" round)

* a bigger Qi Charger (the Choe 3 coil Qi Charger)

* a small metal plate (leftover from an earlier car mount).

Putting a metal plate under the case made my phone magnetic. But, I had to be sure it would not block the Qi Charging or the NFC capabilities. So, I aligned the case, metal plate, magnets, and charger together loosely first to ensure everything worked. I cut the metal plate and positioned it on either side of the Motorola logo on the back. This worked perfectly, so I cracked open the Sugru.

First I made a lip for the phone at the bottom of the charger. This will give it more stability in conjunction with the magnets. I wrapped the phone in cellophane (doesn't stick to Sugru) and pressed it against the lip for a good grippy shape. Then I used small balls of Sugru and attached 4 magnets to the Qi Charger. I even pressed the phone against them to ensure they tilted in the shape of the back of the phone (which is rounded).

Before everything set, I plugged in the charger and verified that it all still charged. It did.

Once the Sugru set, I then used more Sugru and attached the back of the Qi Charger to a flat surface I had put in the car. It is called a Proclip. They make docks for phones and as part of that, they have flat mounting surfaces designed for almost every car.

Once I leveled and aligned the charger, I just had to wait until it set. Now, my phone has a wireless charging/docking home in my car. You can do this with commercial charger/docks, but they are not magnetic and they require a little more effort to mount/unmount your phone to open and close clips or holding mechanisms. This makes it a lot less convenient. There are also sticky pad solutions like the Air Dock, but those need to be cleaned periodically to remain sticky. You can see the final version in the attached pictures. I may add some Plastidip to cover the magnets for a more even look.

After a test drive on bumpy roads, I confirmed that the charger charges, the phone stays, and the position is just right for minimal distraction.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] phazz1248:
Great post. I got inspired and now I'm building one myself.

How did you make the lip at the bottom of the charger?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] amaddux:
I had no problems inserting four metal disks into my case around the Qi receiver and continuing use of the Air Dock. The tricky part was arranging the disks.

To position them, I positioned the phone over the air dock until I found the optimum charging location. I then placed the empty case in that spot and positioned the metal disks in four corners based on the pull of the air dock magnets. This seems to work very well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bgreens:
I shaped a small amount of Sugru...I made it the width of the charger, and the lip is a little taller than the thickness of the phone in the case. Then I wrapped the bottom of the phone in cellophane wrap and pressed it against the lip. I even rolled the lip a little over the phone. When it dried, the lip was fit perfectly to the bottom of the phone and keeps it from slipping down or side to wide. The magnets hold the phone, but without the lip, the phone would slip. Another way would be to add a sticky surface to the charger (like the Airdock), but I didn't want to have to clean it to keep it sticky. I did not want to risk the phone falling in any way!

Good luck. Mine is working great. The magnets also really help the phone from rocking when I use it. This was a great solution for the rounded back of the phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] phazz1248:
You described that you initially used pieces of metal plate inside the case ... did you eventually prefer metal disks instead? I don't see any disks in the pictures.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bgreens:
I was going to get disks, but I decided to cut the metal plate in half and put half on either side of the qi charging coils. It doesn't block any signals (GPS, Wifi, LTE, and qi all work perfectly) and the half plates also fit better in the case and conformed to the curved shape of the Nexus better. It was also nice reusing soemthing I already had.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lordhamster:
Can you post a pic of where exactly you put the plates?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bgreens:
The magnetic 'plates' are located here.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ritzxda:
Argh this is pretty annoying. I'm in New Zealand so getting the Nexus 2013 QI charger as well as the Airdock shipped from America ended up costing me about $80USD each which is pretty pricey considering you can get basic QI charging pads for about $10. They are both however incredibly useful and convenient. People not only asked about them but they were genuinely really handy. After paying so much money for a Nexus 6, this really does seem like a backward step.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bgreens:
Did you ever get either the 2013 Qi Charger or the Airdock working with the Nexus 6? It really is a shame that the Nexus 6 just doesn't fit the way the Nexus 5 did (flat back, metal interior, and good qi location). But, I do find that 3 coil qi chargers (like the Tylt and the Choe I used for the car dock) work really well with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ritzxda:
Nope. Well it can charge on the 2013 Nexus charger but you have to sit it really carefully. It certainly doesn't stick into place and it also slides a bit. Definitely not a viable option for QI charging. A basic cheap charging pad works a lot lot better. It also doesn't stick to the AirDock at all. Falls straight off. Thanks for the suggestions. It's costly getting the Tylt into New Zealand but I'll have another look around for options.

Is it possible to have TomTom running with the screen off?

I want to use TomTom on by bike and want the screen off to save power and so only get voice directions through my headset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pdanny:
I'm not sure but I thougth there was a setting in the TT menu to turn the screen off.

Btw how do you get the voice in your headset....via Bluetooth or cable???

Danny.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bslob:
BT headset would be tangle free but would be uncomfortable with a helmet, plus the aim is to conserve power. so wired headset would be best.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pdanny:
Not if you use it with a N-comm series helmet.....:)

Works great.....however I haven't tried it with TT yet....

At the moment I've got mono sound from mediaplayer in Tytn...

It interrups when an incomming call is received and answers after 3 rings....

What I'm working on now is stereo sound.....+ plus getting my &^#&$# voicedial activated via the helmet.....

Also reliable TT with spoken commands in helmet are on my wishlist....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] warriorpluto:
Got this on a trade. I opened up browser and it seems previous owner was looking up on how to retrieve msl. I opened up the service menu and it says cert failed. I odined back to full stock and even did the 727 key pad and it still says the same thing. Does a Sim card have to be inserted to even connect to the sprint network? It has no bars with the little x over the antenna. Is there anything I van do with this phone? Its on nc5 and imei is different from what's on the housing but both read clean and register as sprint note 3. Maybe LCD was replaced?

[X 2014 Accessories] buddhafool:
I got the "Lemon/Lime" green Motorola Power Pack Micro and the color strip started peeling from day one. (I live in a non-humid place too.) Checking the board I see other people have also had the same problems. I really liked the functionality but I returned because of the defect.

I want to get another one but I am curious which colors are having this issue.
[X 2014 Accessories] buddhafool:
::Must resist OCD to make poll choices match the result color bar colors::
[X 2014 Accessories] richaoj:
I was thinking about buying one of these. Bad to see that there is peeling (potentially). How is the size of the device though--do you find it very bulky?
[X 2014 Accessories] buddhafool:
Actually I love it. The size it pretty good. I slimmed down my keychain a bit and it is easily pocketable with comfort.

The trusted bluetooth device, "Phone, find my keys" and "Keys, find my phone" features absolutely rock.

I find myself mostly using the battery pack for other people I am hanging out with, it makes me very popular. :) The phone tells you the battery status and warns you when it needs topping off with a notification. The daily "standby" drain is negligible, you don't need to charge more than once every week or two.

The caveat is you probably want to add this to your keychain too:

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EJHH20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The battery does not stay connected very well when it hangs off the phone and this solves the problem nicely.

I should note despite the edges looking crinkly from the peeling the actual plastic did not come off at all, it just looked bad.
[X 2014 Accessories] l_stevens:
Not clear on how you use the two (charger and mini cable) together when you need a charge? Take both off the keyring? Can you use the phone while charging with this setup?
[X 2014 Accessories] buddhafool:
Yes you can use the phone, the right angle plug on the bottom allows the cable to curve up behind the phone allowing you to tuck the battery in your palm.

The extension cable comes on a little lanyard that stretches far enough.

Actually though I have this wonderful tiny multipupose carabiner. I removed the lanyard and put it on a little ring. I just remove the cable from the keychain to use it.

Without that you would just need to unloop the lanyard (or hold your keys too :( ) I suppose.
