I got my dock today and I don't see the problems that others are seeing.

One thing I did find is if I used a task manager to kill the clock app, the phone will just sit in the dock like any normal device. It can stream music fine, use the home screen/launcher fine -- all of this without any delay. The screen goes into standby like normal as well, but there is no 'clock' displayed, just a dark screen.

With the clock app running it does get a little goofy.

The clock app will ask if you'd like to set it up so you can control music/pictures from it. You can decline.

When the clock app is running (and your weather is set) you get the time/day/weather.

You can choose to dim the screen if you'd like (this also goes full screen and removes the status bar at the top)

If you dim the screen all the information is displayed for a short time (< 5 minutes) before the screen changes into more of a screen saver, displaying only the time/date. The position of this information changes every few seconds on the screen.

I can confirm there are small delays when going from the docked clock screen to the normal launcher, but not 30-60 seconds.

While docked, I was able to touch the docked clock app screen, pull down the status bar, and check email/sms/gtalk. There was no delay there. This also applies to launching other applications while docked. No delay for me.

All in all I think it was well worth the purchase. Any delays between in the transition between the docked clock app and normal launcher are obviously software related and will be worked out in the next release.

Does the backlighting of the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen eventually go off as well, or do they stay lit the entire time the phone is docked?
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
The capacitive buttons do stay lit - I am guessing this is to fit in with the "alarm clock" usage for the dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
That's a bummer... I don't have the dock, and I've only gone into the Clock app a few times, but I would think that the capacitive buttons would be too bright for most people. It certainly seemed too bright for me. Then again, I guess I should give it a chance first.
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
They are actually not too bright (for my eyes at least) even in a dark room. Some may find them too bright though I suppose.
[Nexus One Accessories] usmc2k:
Anyone have pics of the dock an N1 ?
[Nexus One Accessories] Makaijin:
There's actually an icon in the clock app on the top right of the screen that looks like a sun/moon which toggles the brightness of the backlight from normal to VERY minimal. The light is soo minimal you can only see that it's on if you are in (almost) complete darkness. It's perfect when you are in bed and want to look at the time without it blinding you awake.
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
It doesn't appear to dim the capacitive buttons though, just the screen. He had inquired about the buttons themselves.
[Nexus One Accessories] Makaijin:
I have my brightness setting on automatic. The light/proximity sensor should dim the buttons as well the display backlight. The button backlight seems to go from the setting of the display. Well unless he has the brightness setting on manual full wack it really isn't that bright.
[Nexus One Accessories] mr_skot:
Yeah I wish the soft menu buttons at the bottom would disable when going into the 'screen saver' mode. Apparently there are a couple of apps in the market that will allow you to disable those LED's when the phone is docked. I think they were mentioned in another thread.

After looking at the Clock app, one thing I wonder about is if Google/HTC made a mistake hard wiring the menu buttons at the bottom of the screen? If would have made the device nice and clean if those soft menu buttons were actually software based. Ah well...
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Negative... the buttons don't seem to dim. I have my brightness set to auto as well.
[Nexus One Accessories] ditsch:
Hi there,

can anybody tell me if the power adapter for the dock is 100 - 240V, please?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus One Accessories] anthro:
Is it going to be bad for the battery if the device is docked and plugged to AC even if batt is fully charged?
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
About the slideshow function, is there any way to select which folder must be played? It plays everything...weather skin folder image too!
[Nexus One Accessories] Goonish:
Pretty sure it's just Micro-USB like the charger, so it doesn't matter.
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
Please can someone explane me how does the hell BT dock streaming work???...I am not sure to understand how it should. I supposed I could stream music from Nexus to BT speakers...and this would have been just unusefull since N1 is still provided of A2DP function. So, when dock connects to BT fo music bla bla...what the hell is for???

THX to all!
[Nexus One Accessories] Abbsta:
add a .nomedia file to that folder or any folder that you don't want its content shown in the Gallery.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
I can't understand what ur asking..all I get from ur post is that ur angry..
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
@uansari1

LOL sorry maybe I am...

My question is what Dock BT connection is for and how to use it. It is for streaming music from nexus one? I don't think, since nexus one itself has A2DP BT function. So...what is for?
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
Yes, it allows you to stream audio to the dock. The dock comes with an AUX to RCA adapter for feeding that audio into your playback system of choice.
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
Ok..let's do an example: I could connect "AUX to RCA" adapter to my Samsung Plasma 8 Series TV and streaming it to my BT headset?

Is it correct? It should work like a dongle? And what's for LOL....

:p
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
Here's how it works. When you drop the phone into the dock it automatically pairs with the dock. If you have configured it to route audio through the dock then the audio is sent out the 3.5mm jack - you can either plug in headphones if you want or take that audio signal and send it into any other device you would like (e.g: stereo receiver, TV if it accepts audio in, computer speakers that are self powered and take 1 input)

The device itself is rather simple. It provides a simple drop in and charge feature (no need to plug in the microUSB), it launches the clock app automatically and pairs with BT for streaming of audio into your device of choice. It doesn't act as any sort of bluetooth repeater or pair with anything else. You can configure the dock to *not* pair with the device for audio if you want to use bluetooth headphones or some other audio source.
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
So it routes N1 Audio to any other device via 3.5mm jack...and what BT is for???

For example, I paired my N1 with a bt dongle conncted to a 5.1 system and, without the dock, I streamed my music...

:confused:
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
The BT is just to pair the N1 to the dock itself when you drop it in for the purpose of routing the Audio somewhere else. The gold pins do *not* transmit data or audio (as far as we know) so the BT is needed to accomplish this.

Edit: To answer the following:

For example, I paired my N1 with a bt dongle conncted to a 5.1 system and, without the dock, I streamed my music...

This is what the dock does. For your puspose it adds nothing to this experience (except charging the phone). It is a BT dongle with audio out. This dock is pretty simple as far as functionality - if you are looking for more functionality then you definitely should look elsewhere.

The dock doesn't expand on the phones feature set, it provides a simple docking solution for charging / audio using a bt dongle. Google's example of use is as an "alarm clock" - a purpose the dock serves quite well launching the clock app and dimming the screen appropriately.
[Nexus One Accessories] asci:
You are very kind...but from my long experience I still can't find the utility of this function. So I could connect via "AUX to RCA" adapter my dock to a hifi amplifer and streaming N1 music to hifi system...Right? It's the double connection wired/BT that really sounds bizarre...
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
Yes - the connection would go as follows N1->Dock (via Bluetooth) -> Hifi Amp (via AUX to RCA cable)
[Nexus One Accessories] newjaruz:
Some shots of the dock and my beloved N1:)
[Nexus One Accessories] grb:
Since I don't have a stereo system or pc on my headboard I'm curious what sort of speakers I would need to purchase to take full advantage of this dock.

I looked at the back of my pc speakers and there's no RCA input. Can I go to Best Buy, Wal Mart, etc. and pick up some basic speakers that are self powered and have RCA inputs? Or do I need to actually get a receiver and speakers for my headboard. lol, if that's the case, this $50 dock is going to end up costing me hundreds. :eek:
[Nexus One Accessories] icon57:
you didnt mention those awesome altecs in the pic...:p
[Nexus One Accessories] grb:
Hell, I didn't even notice the phone pictures. I was checking out the photo in the signature :D
[Nexus One Accessories] newjaruz:
lol you guys are too much. Yes I like my speakers they are ergonomic and match my N1... lol...

and as for the "got android" pic... gotta love it :D
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
You should post a bigger one so the nerds have spanking material. ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
just fyi, i didnt like that the dock started the default clock app so i wrote a little hack, its in the market, its called "Dock nothingness" haha, it just allows you to select it, next time you dock the phone it wont do nothing, so you can start pandora before, or after without first exiting the clock app blah blah.

also, if you want more customizations, checkout Bedside, it has a bunch of things, the only thing missing from it that the default clock has is weather, and that's coming soon
[Nexus One Accessories] grb:
My dock just arrived while I was home for lunch. I managed to unbox and check a few things out:

-My phone has a full BSE skin and that did not seem to cause any issues.

-I was able to bounce around to different areas (clock, music, home, email, etc.) without issue.

-Not having to fumble with the plug is definitely a plus.

In other words, everything appears to be peachy king so far.

Unfortunately, in order to listen to music while the phone is docked by my bed, I had to purchase some small self powered speakers which ran me $85.

So this freakin dock, as pretty as it is, has now cost me $135. Sheesh :rolleyes:

ADDED: The plug/charger that goes from the dock to the wall is identical to the wall charger that comes with the phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Any longer-term impressions of the dock? I was waiting to buy it at the same time as the car dock, but since Google's taking their sweet time in releasing the car dock... I was thinking of ordering the desktop dock this week.

I'm curious as to whether anyone can give compelling reasons to not buy the dock. Cost isn't an issue... $45 for a dock is reasonable for a high-end phone, so I won't do DYI.

Oh, and if anyone doesn't theirs anymore, let me know. ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
Sounds like a personal request :D

I love my dock but use it mostly on my night stand. If you could use it for data transfer I would by another one for work. The lack of data and the inability to use a case with the dock are the only downsides.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
I'm looking for nightstand use as well... thanks man.

Oh, and I'm an ass guy.
[Nexus One Accessories] rotohammer:
I bought 3 docks, one for the night stand and one for each desk in my two offices.

I gave 2 docks away, kept the one on the nightstand. I got tired of pulling the cable every time I needed to transfer data.
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
Yeap, this is stupid. I'm a developer and I keep needing to transfer new builds of apps or patches. I ended up connecting another cable and have it right next to the dock for when I need to do this. Its stupid.
[Nexus One Accessories] Devastatin:
I don't think its stupid that the dock doesn't do a data connection other than audio bluetooth. I prefer it actually.

With the dock the way it is, it works out to only needing the data connection for pairing and turning on the desktop app. Anything more and it would need a little pin on the bottom like Ipod docks or additional exposed pins on the bottom. Neither which I would prefer.
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
Only as a night clock but if you want to transfer files between your computer and syuff, you are screwed.

The bluetooth its actually great, but id also like to have a connector.
[Nexus One Accessories] grb:
I've had my dock now for about 3 weeks and have no complaints.

I have noticed one thing it does and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue or has a solution:

When the phone is docked w/o any music playing, I will occasionally hear some interference or static come through the speakers.

Is that normal? Just a Bluetooth thing? Or is there something I can do to fix it? BTW, the dock is hooked up to a pair of Bose Dimension 2 speakers.
[Nexus One Accessories] Devastatin:
I'll guess those are wired speakers (since I can't find them on the bose site).

If they are wired, you may be picking up interference from the RCA jacks to the speaker. make sure the wires are not near any other cords or walls where there may be power lines running along the spot where the lines intersect.

Here is a couple of posts where it goes into specifics.

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Car-Stereos-3638/2009/4/speakers-hissing.htm
[Nexus One Accessories] grb:
Thanks, I'll check it out. They are wired speakers (I may have listed the wrong model).

I have a tv/stereo system across the room which I hope isn't an issue (it's rarely on).

I do have the speaker wires hanging on nails to keep them hidden, that may not be helping. I was planning on replacing the nails with rubber coated hooks, so I'll try that to see if it helps.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Well if you dislike it so much, I'll buy it off you. ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
I dislike, actually, HATE, that it doesn't have a connector. But I love everything else for it so no, its MINE :p
[Nexus One Accessories] mitsu8:
Will I be able to listen to Pandora or any other music app using the dock connected to my stereo system?
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
Yes sir, it uses the Bluetooth A2DP profile, which is what's used for stereo bluetooth headphones, same thing. All the multimedia audio (even youtube videos) is streamed through bluetooth when an A2DP device is connected.

Pandora, YouTube, Loud Porn, you name it.
[Nexus One Accessories] mitsu8:
Nice, thanks for the quick response. I'm ordering one asap.
[Nexus One Accessories] mikesm1234:
music streaming

Is anybody able to get the N1 to stream music while on the dock to a mac?

If so can you briefly describe the setup.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
AFAIK, the dock can't stream music to another bluetooth enabled device.
[Nexus One Accessories] mikesm1234:
What about the N1 it self, as you dock the N1 the bluetooth kicks in. any way of having my mac picking that up?
[Nexus One Accessories] velazcod:
No sir, the dock only pairs with Nekexus Ones
[Nexus One Accessories] one028:
i just got the dock yesterday...and it wouldnt work...the phone wouldnt connect with the dock...maybe 1 time in 10 tries....i sent it back and bought another one, hoping the first one was defective...

the worst part was that while messing around with the dock trying to get it to work, my phone fell off it, and hit the corner of my desk drawer...and damaged my phone....not bad, but enough to piss me off.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Ordered mine today. Hopefully it works fine.
[Nexus One Accessories] one028:
1. at night, when using the clock...the clock changes and I lose the weather...how do i keep it on the clock with the weather?

2. dont understand the bluetooth thing with the dock...whats the point? doesnt the phone itself stream over bluetooth?

3. Is there a setting to make the phone silent or vibrate automatically when it is put into the dock, instead of turning down the volume?
[Nexus One Accessories] antoniouslj:
you guys should try the app DockControl... :p
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
See answers above.
[Nexus One Accessories] avoulgarellis:
You can connect to the dock without the phone being actually docked.this allows you to stream the audio to your surround setup without leaving the phone in place.
[Nexus One Accessories] Kid Poker:
I'm still contemplating on whether or not I should buy the dock or not. I've had the phone for almost a month now and I still love it, knowing me how I love switching phones.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
I ordered mine on Wednesday with the free Fedex Ground shipping... I had it Friday. (I think I'm relatively close to the shipping origin)

Anyway, I really like the dock. If it wasn't $45, I'd probably get a second one for my living room. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Daswolven:
Well, I always case mine since I dropped it once, from about five feet onto concrete while inebriated. Slight ding in the corner, no other damage to the phone. The N1 is fairly tough. I have relegated my desktop dock to a bluetooth receiver when I want to listen to Pandora in my room. :) worth the $40 just for that.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Anyone notice a discoloration along the bottom of the phone from where it contacts the dock? I read about it on the Google support forum, and sure enough, I'm seeing some dark discoloration where the phone rests in the dock. Not all that noticeable unless you're looking for it, but still...
[Nexus One Accessories] one028:
anyone interested in the nexus one dock for $42 shipped in the US? I sold my Nexus One and am getting rid of my accessories..I put it on ebay, so let me know if anyone here wants it and ill take it off ebay.

email me at one028@yahoo.com

thanks...
[Nexus One Accessories] logger:
Can anyone recommend a set of mini speakers or even a single cube style speaker that could be used with the dock. Even better is said speaker could be jerried up so that dock usb power lead powered both.
[Nexus One Accessories] nephroid:
I would say the X-Mini II or anything from them. Very nice for the beach, pool or bathroom. Look up the YouTube videos. Very loud.
[Nexus One Accessories] nxt:
The jack on the dock is a standard 3.5mm "headphone jack"

The dock COMES with a 3.5mm jack to rca.

You can use any 3.5mm jack you want. Buy a male to male 3.5mm jack and you can plug the other end to your PC or whatever you want to do.
[Nexus One Accessories] nxt:
I got the dock for exactly $40 off some guy on eBay... got lucky with the price!

Anyways, I like that it's a BT dock and you can connect it without putting the phone in it.

My only gripe is that the contacts on the dock is very sensitive.

I can be trying to select a podcast to listen while it's docked and it would disconnect/not charge because the phone moved a little.

Hi,

Try to format the card using your computer in FAT32 format might work. if not try a 16GB Sandisk form Amazon it worked straight away for me plug and play.

[APP] [1st Feb 2010] Aloqa 2.0: Finaly FREE & GREAT location-based info app for WM !!

Finally a wonderful location application is available for Windows Mobile. Android & iPhone already had a whole bunch of those applications (Sherpa, Where, Places Directory...)!

Basically, this application tells you instantly every interesting locations near you (cinemas, restaurants, bars & a lot more). It even gives you in-depth look at the given locations (description, reviews, address, phone number). Once you choose a location, you can show it on google maps or automatically make a phone call.

This app is not only convenient, it's also beautiful, slick, quick, finger-friendly and most importantly: free. You can download it from Microsoft marketplace (really?) or through the official website (http://aloqa.com/)

Only downside is that it only works in some countries USA, UK, Austria & Germany...

Watch these videos to learn more:

Official video (funnily in the video, it seems like an iPhone diss, but actually Aloqa is available on WM, iPhone and Android :D)

Video from Pocketnow

Video from from WM Poweruser (tested on HTC HD2)

How much memory does the app require?

I have 24mb on my Hero Plus 7gb on my card but keeps saying can't install as not enough space :confused:

How can I get this to install etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkhonic:
According to my phone co-pilot uses 18.48MB, 11.22MB of that being the app, the other 7.26MB is under "Data". Adding maps will be stored on the SD card and doesn't get calculated until after downloading as maps are licence dependent.

best suggestion would be use app2sd if the message continues as you can see it should fit in easily enough.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberkid2002:
please bear in mind I may be talking rubbish on this but I seem to remember hearing that during app installs the files extract themselves and often require double the space during the install process than they do when they are installed. It may be worthwhile removing a couple of apps which dont require a lot of setup, installing co-pilot, then adding the other apps back on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choccy31:
Thanks for reply.

I think it's just crazy that HTC think the amount of free space supplied is all ok when it clearly is not.

Makes the having a memory card part of it kinda stupid really, when they don't let you use it for the most common thing!

It's not a must to have so not a big deal if I don't have it.
