I'm surprised that burn-in could even happen on this screen, but I guess anything like this can happen to any screen. I'm running the Syndicate ROM and Kernal and it uses a different clock/alarm app. It's actually quite cool, has completely different backgrounds, has a disk or album art views of the music and something that the alarm clock app needed in the first place...a screen saver. When I first goto the app, it has it's initial screen, but after about 5 minutes it turns into a black screen w/ green writing showing the time, date and every few seconds it moves around on the screen to prevent burn-in. I have attached the app below for those who don't want to flash the entire ROM. Give it a try before ruling out the dock. Even though I'm still uncertain how the dock will perform once 2.2 comes out, it's still nice to have and only cost me $20 shipped.
[Epic 4G Accessories] austin420:
Thanks!
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
So, can anyone comment if they are allowed to mount their phone while using the dock? It's kind of annoying to have to pull the phone and cord from the dock just to be able to sync downloaded apps, pics, etc.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Dulanic:
So while in dock mode do you have to have the screen on? Or was it just being left on? I could still turn the screen off no? I am mostly curious as I'd like an easy way to keep my phone charged and listen to pandora and slacker while at work. They decided this week that we aren't allowed to waste their bandwith.... it couldnt be because you have 1000 people on MAYBE a 6MB connection which is slower than what I have at home lol. So this may be an option if I can just keep the screen off.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
Bump...this should only take a second to figure out. I need to leave feedback and determine if I've got a normal or defective dock here.

It won't install on my epic. Do you have to be rooted?
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
What won't install on your Epic?
[Epic 4G Accessories] jemarent:
the desk clock APK that you have posted. It just says can not install. I hate the samsung one and would like a good alternative.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I've had random issues w/ installing certain apps as well, but I don't know why. If you want it directly, you can download the Syndicate ROM onto your desktop, download a program from CNET.com called 7zip and then you can extract the .apk file yourself and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jemarent:
But back to my first question, do you have to be rooted for your app? It seems like a different install message then what i'm used to. And to clarify, it says "application not installed". I was downloading right from my app and not from a desktop browswer if that matters.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I couldn't tell you, my phone is rooted and I'm running the Syndicate ROM that came with that app installed. I've found from the past though that sometimes downloading .apk's using the phone doesn't work well, or at least it didn't when I had my Moment. Try it on a normal desktop/laptop and then transferring it to your SD card and see what happens.

While you're at it, let me know if you can mount your phone through your media dock...that's still a question that has never been answered for me.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Electrofreak:
The app he described sounds exactly like the Alarm Clock Plus v2 app I downloaded from the Android Market.

It's the most feature-packed Alarm Clock app I've ever seen. You can customize every feature imaginable and by default it features a green clock screensaver that should prevent burn-in.

http://www.appstorehq.com/alarmclockplusv2-android-237348/app
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
Here are my screen shots for comparison of that app that you're referring to. The app is on the top right corner of my screen and then the other is the how it looks initially. Screen shots of how it looks playing music, slideshow videos/pics, etc can be seen on the Syndicate ROM thread.

Can someone please take 5 seconds out of there day and let me know if they can mount their phones in the dock...I figured this would be something quick and easy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Electrofreak:
It is the same application as the one I linked. Don't have a dock to answer that question though.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Koadic:
When I finally decide to buy one, I will be more than happy to, but until then... I would conjecture that there is some extra circuitry in between the female port on the back and the male port on the front to allow for the audio to be sent through the usb port on the phone to the 3.5mm jack on the back of the dock. I would have to assume this is why you need to remove the phone from the dock to be able to mount it on your computer. It could very well be that the only connections from the dock port to the phone are the power leads, while the data leads from the phone goes directly to the usb->3.5mm audio converter to avoid any possible interference.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dwallersv:
That looks just like it. However, I have not found any way to change the timeout (5 minutes), which makes it just as bad as the samsung app for burn-in. That's one feature that I can imagine that I can't seem to configure :D

If there's a way to, and I just can't find it, please tell!

[Epic 4G Accessories] austin420:
i dont have samsung desk home app, but as of now, when the dock is hooked up to a usb on my computer, it does nothing except charge. it doesnt mount the sd card and the audio out via the 3.5 still doesnt work. im assuming both of these features will be enabled with the use of the sammy app.

i dont think i can get the sammy app in the market since im on 2.2 i searched and it isnt there for me. i heard the app will need an update also.

*wrong thread*

Where's the delete button...?
[Epic 4G Accessories] sloheim:
So I finally got my Epic desk dock today (even after reading all the less-than-stellar reviews).

A couple of questions...

a) I'm running Epic Experience 2.0.6 (Froyo 2.2.1). I couldn't find the Samsung Home Dock in the Market.. presumably because it hasn't been released for Froyo yet. I downloaded 1.0.1 of the app "elsewhere" on the net. Is this the latest version? If there is a newer, could someone post a link?

b) I would have expected that, when I dock the phone, it would automatically trigger the "Home Dock" application... but that is not happening. If I start the app manually, it stays on for a short period of time, and then the screen turns off. I know it is plugged in and charging successfully. Is this normal behavior? If not, am I doing something wrong?

Maybe my problems go away if/when an "official" Froyo version of the app comes out.. but until then, just looking for a little guidance.

Thanks.

I own a samsung dock, I'm not so up to date on the current roms/roots out there, but I have rooted my phone with noob's release that was availiable like within a week of the phone being launched. When I put my phone in the dock it does immediately go into dock mode, and my screen doesn't turn off. Also I did dl the dock app from the market a while ago. Thats my 2 cents. Good luck :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] gismo4:

[Epic 4G Accessories] Top Nurse:
Looks nice on a desk if you can get the tape off. Otherwise it is a total waste of money. Might be better with Froyo, but given Samsung/Sprint track record I would say not likely.

[Epic 4G Accessories] bigray327:
I have two, both work perfectly. Running 2.2.1 like most smart people.
[Epic 4G Accessories] shiftr182:
I have tried a few different apps for the desk dock. The best so far is Alarm Clock Plus. It is free on the market. You can set both the clock screen time out, and the dim screen time out, you can change all the colors(I use a dim blue sleep clock), you can add widgets(not just genie).

I would recommend it to anybody.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Top Nurse:
I got my dock on roll out day and I have never been able to access the SD card while it is in the dock. When I take the cable out of the dock and plug in the cable direct to the phone it will instantly be recognized. So I figured to look inside the dock to see if they didn't run the wires necessary to use the dock as a mount to the SD card.

I just went out today and got this one replaced by Sprint, but my computer still does not recognize the dock. So...I'm thinking it has to either be a board level problem or the wires are not correctly connected to the usb port that interfaces with the phone. The latter seems likely as why would they bother to run the usb set of 5 wires from the board? Guess I have some modding to do. :D

What the heck?

I am running EB13 and still no audio out!

I hope I'm missing something. Please tell me I'm missing something. There is no Samsung desk app on android, and even if there was, would that enable audio out?

Updated home dock app in market

I just noticed an updated app in the Market. It can deal with routing audio correctly.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Grogck:
I'm thinking about possibly using this in my car as the dash on the car I just bought has an ideal spot for the desktop style dock. I'd prefer that to a windshield mount model. A few questions though.

1) Is the sound really static/garbled for anyone else? Maybe I'm just using cheap headphone cables for testing it but the sound's got a lot of digital noise in it when switching songs, apps, etc.

2) Would I still be able to use it as a hands-free speaker phone (i.e., the audio from the caller comes out over the line-out/car speakers and my voice picks up well from the handset mic?)

3) Any way to make this work with the (IMO) much nicer Alarm Clock Plus (v2) app? That thing's way more customizable as far as shortcuts etc. Most of my music is streamed Pandora/Grooveshark/Podcasts so the local music player interface is pretty much worthless to me.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Grogck:
After digging around some more I've answered most of my own questions now.

1) Static seems to be coming from charging going on at the same time. I currently have mine plugged into 'clean' A/C power at home, but even then it's notable to me. Unplug the charger part and it's clean sound. Another thread suggested a ground loop isolator. Hoping that works.

2) Don't know yet. Still need to test.

3) Doesn't look like it yet. Unfortunately it looks like my best option is going to be (1) Hit the speaker button everytime I dock. (2) Hit the Home button to bust out of the Samsung Dock app. (3) Swipe to a screen or click a folder with all my apps/shortcuts I want. I personally use the Folder Organizer app to help streamline this. Still not the most elegant solution, but I hated having to plug in two cables every time I hopped in the car. Plus this would look a lot nicer.

USB Audio Working through Both Desk/Car Docks!

I have the official Desk Dock and Car Dock and can confirm that this works on Both Perfectly. I have Stock EB13 Rooted.

Update 1.1!

-Updated the Icon/App Name and added settings to enable or disable the redirecting of audio output in respective car/desk docks.

Install the attached APK File and Restart the Phone (Must for it to work)!

What this Does:

As soon as the phone is inserted into the dock it instantly transfers the audio through the dock audio jack. This DOES work with Car Mode. If placing a phone call it transfers directly to the speaker on the phone or you can click bluetooth to use a bt headset. I notice it immediately pauses the music and replays it in the audio dock (Using Cubed Music Player)

Notes:

Desk Dock - Audio Out + MicroUSB Charger (wall) together make a hissing sound

Car Dock - Audio Out + MicroUSB Charger together make 0 hissing/static sound. I did however wire my Honda Accord audio line using a Ground Loop Isolator while the 15ft microusb cable (concealed in car frame) is connected to a Scosche Dual USB Car Charger (see Amazon).

Cons:

-Volume Control can't be adjusted with hardware buttons in desk dock. So it would have to be software controlled or adjusted with headphones

-There is a noticeable difference (but not awful) when using the audio out dock because of the equalizer being turned off. You can only tell if you're a big audiophile like me. I wonder if this could be fixed in the future.

-Some people might want the phone call sound through the car speakers, which does not work. It transfers it to speaker/handset/bt headset

Bragging Rights: Play a movie (even in HD) on your phone that has 5.1 Surround Support (which works through audio jack only) and turn it on (bottom left) in the stock Video Player. It sounds amazing the picture is awesome at full brightness. You can also add a subtitle file into the same directory as the movie and it automatically shows it so anyone can follow the movie. I love doing this whenever I have to wait in the car and need to pass time. If I'm alone and not in the car, noise canceling bluetooth headphones (I use Plantronics Voyager 855) do the same amazing job with the option to have both left and right stereo sound.

Any way to re-map the home button on 'Desk' app to go back to the default Android home screen?

I originally had both Alarm Clock Plus and the Samsung Desk app installed and since I didn't choose either one as a default app when docked I was able to hit the Home button and go back to the main Android home screen (while still retaining the audio out and therefore able to use it for things like Pandora, Google Listen, etc.)

I guess not having a default app set for dock mode meant it kept the home button unchanged. Because once I assigned the Samsung Desk app as the default it no longer allowed me to go back to the main Android home screen via the home button. I cleared it out as the default and tried uninstalling Alarm Clock Plus just to test - same thing (as it then automatically assigned Samsung Desk as the default app.) So for now my workaround is to keep both installed and then have to choose the Samsung Desk app each time plug in to the cradle so that I can have easy access to the Android home screen.
[Epic 4G Accessories] copticwalad:
I was having the same issue with the home button not working at all after trying several different solutions. However I just did a titanium backup and flashed EB13 stock again/rooted it and slowly restored only necessary specific apps (restoring all brought back the problem) to fix the problem. My app certainly does Not cause any Home button issues and everything is now working perfectly.

Out of curiosity how do I manage to find out all the information for the access points for T-Mobile? I have my 3G and everything set up but I lose connection from time to time and I have to go over and switch to Wi-Fi. I currently have the HD2 and I am running the Energy Froyostone v2

Will this help out my T-Mo US connection from dropping here and there?
[HD2 General] me:
TMOUSA HD2, latest stock ROM.

I searched about this problem on the web with Google, and on this forum, and have not yet found a solution. I hope that someone reading can help me.

This has nothing to do with the system volume, nor the ringer volume, both of which I have set to max.

It only involves in-call volume, hearing the other party talking to you. I have this same problem whether the sound is coming directly from the handset pressed against my ear, or with a bluetooth headset.

Whenever I receive a call on the HD2, at first the sound of the other party's voice is WAY too low. I cannot understand anything they say, do not know who it is, in fact I barely hear anything. (That, despite, both the system and ringer volumes both set to max.)

Then, I press the volume up on the volume rocker several times, or the volume control on my bluetooth headset, and finally I can hear the person talking to me.

That is a hassle--that when someone calls, at first I barely hear anything, don't even know who it is, or what they said, until I press the volume up rocker several times.

It seems like, regardless of system and ringer volume settings, that with an incoming call, the volume is initially set at a VERY low level.

Is there a way that can be fixed--registry tweak, etc.?
[HD2 General] me:
I may have come across a fix for this, but am not sure.

I did a search for the word "Volume" in the registry.

One key and value I came across was the following key:

HKLM\Services\HTCAP\SmartHandsetVolumeControl\Handset

I took the value InCallVolume, and changed the dword data to the number which I think represents max volume: 4294967295.

I think that has helped with the problem of the initial call volume on receieved calls being too low. I'm not sure yet though, as I have not received many calls since.

I see many different volume control values in the SmartHandsetVolumeControl key and its subkeys, and cannot say I understand them.

Is there someone reading who really understands what these different registry volume settings mean?

Today I checked voice mail. Therefore a call I placed to voice mail, not an incoming call. I wasn't using a bluetooth headset, but had the phone directly to my ear. I heard the voice mail recording way too softly, could hardly make it out. I pressed the up volume rocker, and it didn't make any difference, I could barely make out the voice mail. (By the way, this was after I made the change mentioned above.)

I think the HD2 has a lot of strange quirks regarding volume, and I think these registry keys may hold the key for dealing with them. If anyone reading really understands the HD2's volume registry keys, please help us to understand them.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] me:
PS

I found the following page:

http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...t-phone-volume-levels-on-windows-phone-device

which describes volume registry settings in \HKCU\Control Panel

It is really confusing, all the different volume settings in the HD2 registry, some generic to WM 6.5, and others specific to HTC and the HD2.

If someone really understands how all these volume settings interact, it would be great if a guide to them were posted!

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankinstuff:
For some widgets, Astrid for example, I can't seem to stretch the widget. For example, when I long press and get the option as to how many pixels I want I enter 4x2. When the Astrid box is placed on my screen it's still the same size (2x2) as it would be if I hadn't entered 4x2. The only difference is I can long click around the widget to move it as if it was occupying that space. Is there anyway I can actually make it (and other widgets) to actually occupy the 4x2 space?

Also, I can't seem to move widgets into corner spaces on my screen or exactly where I would like them to be on the screen.

I'm running CM6 stable, Froyo, ADW Launcher, on a rooted N1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
ADW resizes the spaces used by widgets (as does LauncherPro) but it can not force the widget to resize the graphics within that space. If the widget is designed with resizable elements it will "grow" or "shrink" accordingly. If it has not been designed for this then you will get the experience you have. There's nothing you can do about this.

The (standard) screen has a 4x4 grid, widget and icon placement must conform to this, you can not place widgets or shortcuts in the "gaps".
