Since the speakers are disabled after you connect the phone to it, what happens if you get a call and you don’t have external speakers hooked up to the dock? Will the phone ring?

Check out the Tizen.org project. Supposedly they are developing a replacement OS for Android devices. Not entirely sure what makes it different from MIUI or Cyanogen mod, other than perhaps it will match their OS for a bunch of other devices – all Linux-based.

I am gussing that plugging a MHL adapter into the micro usb on the dock would NOT allow mirroring to a monitor or tv.

I purchased this http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-device-holder/samsung-galaxy-nexus-(verizon-google-sch-i515)/charging-holder-with-tilt-swivel-and-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512331-18882.aspx for my vehicle. It works great as I have bluetooth in my car stereo. Works great for phone and for Pandora etc. It fits the phone perfectly and charges and displays it well. Not a pogo pin cock but It was a good purchase and I recommend it for anyone looking for a solid car dock. You do have to pair it with a mount for your specific vehicle.

I was on version 4.0.2 and my dock wouldn’t activate either. I have just recently took the plunge and updated to 4.0.4 and can verify that dock mode is now working.

I don’t see it listed at all and there’s no FCC certification for the dock which is a pretty good indication that it doesn’t have a radio in it.

That’s for the clarification. Other’s are backing that up as well:

It’s weird though because the Nexus One had the same three pins, but it’s dock used bluetooth for the audio.

With the dock plugged in can you turn your phone’s bluetooth on, and without the phone in the dock search for bluetooth devices? Does it see the dock as a device? If it doesn’t that should verify that the dock doesn’t even have a bluetooth receiver in it.

Thanks….

Can someone who bought one of these please answer this question?

Probably. It just plugs into a USB chord. There are a lot of USB car adapters.

you sure about that?

I believe the pin just pairs the phone to the dock over bluetooth.

Kellex, what Android vesion were you using for this demo?
I’m on 4.0.2 rooted stock and the device never enters dock mode but it does charge, audio out also doesn’t work. Just wondering if this is software based? Samsung reps have no info on it.

I am having the same issue. Any fixes, or responses from Samsung on this matter?
