Nexus S Vehicle Navigation Mount at Best Buy for 39.99

I've been waiting forever for the mount and finally found it at Best Buy in Manassas, VA. It was in a small white box with the official samsung original mark on the box. It clearly states that it has Auto Detect: Automatically puts the handset in Vehicle Menu Mode when Docked. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I tried looking for dock settings like on my Nexus One and don't see it in the menu. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus S Accessories] krohnjw:
From what we've seen so far it's a totally passive dock. The box says it has an integrated charing port? Is this correct?
[Nexus S Accessories] DumbUglyDragon:
Nothing in the user guide? Maybe it's NFC based?
[Nexus S Accessories] DToX69:
You found this at bestbuy? I tried searching the bestbuy website and couldnt find this listed anywhere
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulukita:
Hey sorry for the delay in response. There is no integrated charger just the suction mount, a base, and the phone holder.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulukita:
I couldn't find it either. Best to check by calling your local BB mobile dept.
[Nexus S Accessories] SupaDupaFly24:
My Best Buy has the desktop dock and the navigation mount!!!
[Nexus S Accessories] nxt:
Why does the box say it includes a car charger, and that it charges.

Also it says it automatically puts the phone to Car Mode??????
[Nexus S Accessories] wadeoPGH:
Possibly it is NFC activated...

Do you have your NFC Radio turned on?

Im thinking about purchasing one and programming some NFC chips for other NFC projects. It would be nice if the Nexus had this functionality already built in.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulukita:
That's what I said!

I Forgot to say a car charger too. It does charge your phone. It's the long kind not the coiled which usually puts undue stress on your usb end while it's in the phone. (Cough Like the Original Nexus One Car Dock Cough). I fail to see the reason why they'd advertise the Auto Car Mode knowing it's just a $40 block of plastic. I'm thinking about returning it and buying a cheapo mount. Nice Move Samsung:(
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulukita:
The cake is a lie!

Yep The box says "Integrated Charging Port" Which it doesn't and It says "as the top feature "Auto Detect". I'm going to reset my phone and turn on NFC maybe it's me lol.
[Nexus S Accessories] jm9843:
I'd be utilizing the mounting pad from the Nexus One dock as well, except, I have the pad affixed vertically to a mounting plate that extends out from about the middle of the console (just below where a typical head unit is located). This worked great with the Nexus One dock as it has the extended arm that could be rotated and reoriented in such a way.

Given your experience with the Nexus S Navigation Mount and, assuming that my description makes sense, do you think that the new dock could be used in the same way? The suction part would be vertical and the "arm" would have to angle up towards the driver.

Seem possible?
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulukita:
Circular Plastic Mounting Pad

Yes it should. Now don't quote me lol. The circular pad is pretty standard size wise for a windshield mount. I remember the one that came in my nexus one original mount. I never used it. If you need one there's one in the box for the Nexus S and if you need to reattach it because you removed it in anticipation of a new dock I can send you 1 of each via snail mail since I use the windshield.

I bought few tags and used NFC Task launcher and it works good.

what I did was to program the tag to the the following:

Turn off wifi

turn on bluetooth

start car app

Works good
[Nexus S Accessories] brokentoaster24:
And I thought I was being clever using nfc task launcher to make a custom mount :p

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Where did you buy and how did you program the tags? So did you just stick the tag to the car dock? Looking to get a Nexus S soon and would like this functionality like I have with the N1. Maybe you should make and sell these.. ;-)

What is the deal with this thing? Why is it STILL on backorder?

[Nexus S Accessories] brandaopj:
does anybody know where to buy this kit in europe?
[Nexus S Accessories] CJSnet:
Here's my review of the product. Basically the box description appears hideously wrong. Has anyone got this working with NFC? I have NFC active and nothing whatsoever happens:

"In the product listings, and even on the back of the box for this Nexus S Vehicle Navigation Mount it boasts:

"FEATURES

Auto Detect: Automatically puts the Handset in Vehicle Menu Mode when Docked"!

No, it doesn't. I can see no way the phone would know it is docked, since the dock is just a passive piece of plastic, and there are no connectors between the dock and the phone. This seems to be like claiming that putting your phone in a plastic case will open Google Maps. So why is this 'feature' is advertised on the product box, yet there is no mention of it in the product user guide. This feature does not seem to exist.

Worse still, the side of the box shows a picture of the dock, with an arrow pointing to the back of the dock where the thumb-tightener is, boasting a wonderful:

"Integrated Micro USB Charging Port"!

Where is this "integrated port"? There is no such port. What there is, is a standard cigar charger cable bundled loose in the box. How is a loose cable "integrated"? How is a regular micro-USB charger plug an "integrated port"?

What it feels like is Samsung designed this product, then realized how bad it was, so made up some lies to put on the packaging. Sadly the end result is a very unhappy customer, and Samsung guilty of false advertising.

Even worse is although the thick plastic is matte, it is a reflective matte, so it reflects up onto your windscreen, obscuring your view of the road. Great! Hey Samsung, ever tried driving in a sunny place like LA with this thing?

Finally, the beveling joint has an extremely small range of motion, so much so that I could not find any suitable location in my car, except one that left the phone screen facing the ceiling. Unbelievable.

Do not buy this product, you will be sorely disappointed. I recommend the Nexus S Active Dock from ProClip, which does have a real, actual, "integrated charging port"."
[Nexus S Accessories] labarks:
That link isn't loading for me for some reason. How does it compare to the KDG-CS1-GSNS?

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/google-samsung-nexus-s-car-mount-cradle-with-handsfree.html

I just bought one these KiDiGi car mounts (for $ 39.95) because it was the only one I could find with USB changing and audio (I wasn't thinking of getting a Bluetooth hand-free device at the time). My gripes with it are: that the dock is about 4 inches tall so with the phone in it its almost 9 inches tall so it barely fits between my dash and windshield when attached to my windshield, as they said in the one review on their site the dock and suction cup is sturdy but I too have noticed it vibrate, it not an active dock so doesn't launch the car home or other app when docked, and the audio out jack for some reason is 2.5mm instead 3.5mm like the phone. I might be able to resolve these issues by mount it in a different location (with the adhesive disc), buy and program an NFC tag for launch an app when docked, and buying a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter form when I what to you my car stereo instead of the built-in speaker (which is just okay).

I had also looked at the ProClip option (http://www.proclipusa.com/) Charging Holder with Tilt Swivel and Cigarette Lighter Adapter (#512227) for $59.99 plus ProClip Center Mount

2008-2012 Subaru Impreza (#854082) for $29.99. So for $89.98 I would a dock with about twice the quality but half the features. I would need to spend another $30-40 to a good (solar) Bluetooth hand-free device.

But apparently they do make charging car mount without the hands free that I just found:

http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_list.php?ssid=450
[Nexus S Accessories] labarks:
I might have to buy a few NFC tags and add one to my car dock.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ditchmond:
I purchased one of these mounts, and while it works great for its use, I agree with other peeps above, that nothing happens when you put the phone in the kit (Car home does NOT automatically start). I bought my own NFC chips however and will soon add mine into it to get it to properly work.

BTW, I have one extra of these mounts if anyone is interested (located in Vancouver, BC).
[Nexus S Accessories] CJSnet:
For anyone who is interested, I have a complaint of 'False Advertising' in with the president's office of Samsung USA regarding this appalling mislabeling that led me to buy this item under false pretenses. Seems like a number of you were similarly misled into parting with your hard earned money too.
[Nexus S Accessories] DrSpanky:
I actually bought the one without the hands-free and they sent me the one with the hands-free... Yay for free audio! I agree that the mount itself was way too tall. I actually just dremeled about an inch out of the bottom section and then just reattached it, smoothed it, and then painted over it. I took the power components out of the insides of the cigarette lighter plug and soldered them onto a little wire harness. I redid the wire coming out of the mount, replacing it with a CAT6 cable + 1 extra 26 gauge wire. It does the USB charging and data with 4 of those wires, direct charge that's soldered onto a 12v rail under my dash with 2 of the wires, and then stereo sound + ground for the last 3 wires. I put them into a 9 pin molex connector that I found at work for quick disconnects and future phone changes. I dremeled off the base of the dock arm and then drilled a hole through one of the blank switch covers to the left of the steering wheel and used epoxy to solidly mount it to the inside of the switch blank. I'm going to be sticking an NFC tag to it when I install my car PC and actually have something for the USB to connect to. The audio goes under the steering column and attaches to the rear AUX port on my stereo head unit. I would take a picture of the phone in the dock, but that would require either another camera or a couple of portals... All in all it only took a couple hours of tinkering with while I was at work for a week or so.

I know that it's a lot more work than most people are willing to do for a simple car mount, but I enjoy making things or customizing them to fit me perfectly (hence owning the WRX). The iPod mounts next to the head unit with the ProClip mounts and I really like those too (I know I know... but the iPod is the only thing that Pioneer will let me control through the head unit).

I have flashed many ROMS...Currently I have Bionix v1.2. As per my experience its the best ROM i have ever flashed in my vibrant.Excellent speed. GPS is fastest compared to other ROMs. As i use my phone a lot..I had to charge my phone every now and then but now I don't have to do that much often. Flashing KB1 gave a excellent battery life to mi fone :D.

What are your experiences over different ROMS?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
I am running Axura 2.2.6...i can assure you that my experience with this ROM will be different from yours

check out each ROMs development thread, do some experimental flashes, and judge for yourself.

the reason i say this is because anyone who responds to this thread will either say what i said or will give you their personal favorite. i guarantee you once you have enough people give their personal favorite, you will pretty much just have a list of all vibrant ROMs to choose from...which is already available to you in the Vibrant Bible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyese24:
I would have to say loki is my favorite rom because it is stable and seemingly gets faster the longer you use it. Battery life is great and has an aosp feel to it. As for gps I couldn't voucher for it or bash it as I almost never use it.

Maybe opinion is what he wants? Just sayin', because he said "What are your experiences over different ROMS?"

Bionix is awesome, Nero was okay, however I prefer Bionix.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MerijnB:
Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to get an alternative to the native datepicker widget:

The reason I am looking for this is that I think that the default widget is clumsy. Things like next week Thursday are a pain to find with the default widget, since the days are not displayed, and you can not see the relation of the different weeks.

While googling this, I found several app developers who found this same issue, and build there own solution (for example here and here).

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the default widget and if there was an attempt made to do this?

Thanks.

If I'm on a call, the Epic doesn't alert me if I have another incoming call. Out of sheer luck, if I happen to have the phone away from my face, I can see another call coming in. However, I don't have any audible notification or vibration. Is there any setting to change this?

Also, say for example you're calling someone. You get their voicemail and start leaving them a message. They immediately call you back. You switch to their incoming call. After you're on the new incoming call and if you try to hang up on the voicemail that's on hold, the entire call is terminated. Anyone else getting this error?

Ok people here is the thing, i install the ROM with Update post in this thread which btw was a excellent work but just then i install it i figure that was a rom for a E15i device and mine is E15a device so 3G not work for me beside i didn't see some features in the menu area like the "Battery Optimizer".

After reading some other threads i find this but nothing happens. I change every line which is describe in the post but when i try to look for an update in the phone or PC Companion appears that my phone have the latest firmware version.

So what cab i do for update my device with a Firmware version for my E15a Device?

Thanks People great job that all of you are making right here.

Did you, by any chance made a backup with xrecovery? if so just restore it should work, changing your si number also must work, reboot your phone before going to update and when it says that you have the latest sw press on recovery or some thing like that, there are also other treads on how to flash using a software from one of the guys of this great forum, I believe is under X10 ...
