Hi
Just spotted this on Expansys - is it genuine?
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/
I thought the multimedia dock was going to be landscape?
Or are there 2 options?
Matthew
Yeah saw this too, my bet is by looking at the triangle construction on the back it can be both landscape and portrait but may be wrong......
Assuming the docks in this video are for the Galaxy Nexus: http://youtu.be/14x9kKgvHkg?t=1m7s
There appear to be two docks. A landscape dock that uses the pogopins, and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL. I'd guess that the landscape dock is just a charging dock, while the portrait dock is a multimedia dock.
and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL.

Just a thought: Since MHL just mirrors everything on the screen, a portrait dock would make a terrible MHL Dock for the most part.
Might be a dumb q... but will the landscape multimedia dock charge at the same time?!
i have seen this dock with the galaxy II,in a video.
so maybe the shop is wrong?
There is definitely a portrait multimedia dock as I have seen it advertised on other sites but not available until 30th November. I looked at a similar dock on the expansys site for the Galaxy SII and it does say it can be used in landscapde mode but I would assume you did that by just turning the dock on its side and the viewing angle on a desk would be pretty bad like that since it would sit 90 degrees to the desk.
It also doesnt say any information such as output ports but the other ones I have seen have an HDMI OUT for connection to a monitor or tv.
The image is also wrong for the Galaxy Nexus as it shows 2 buttons on the right side (presumably for the volume) when there should just be the single button on the right for the on/off and 2 buttons on the left for the volume (which the picture snt showing so we dont know). It probably wont even look like that lol.
Expansys obviously dont have any stock of this dock and the price looks pretty high so I would wait until the beginning of December and see what amazon or ebay start offering.
Mark.
It does say "Note: temporary picture" ... We'll see.
it does say " Note: temporary picture."

Has anyone seen a dock which just charges the phone? I just want a charging dock, no multi media, no MHL. Thank you.
P.S. through microUSB, no the pins

Good point. Maybe that dock can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, like the Galaxy S II docks.
Anyone find it weird that the Galaxy Nexus has both a MHL port and the pogo pins? It's like they can't decide on how to dock the thing and threw in the kitchen sink. With the MHL/MicroUSB port you can get USB data, charging, HDMI output, and maybe analog audio too, so what's the use for the pogo pins? It just makes docking options more complicated...

MHL can't be used at the same time as USB as far as I know. When the MHL cable or adapter is attached the phone detects it and it switches over to MHL.

Yeah, it's either MHL or USB. But what's the point of the pogo pins? All they do is charge. The MHL port, regardless of whether it's in MHL mode or USB mode, still charges. You don't gain anything by using the pogo pins. It leaves the MHL/USB port open, but then if you want to use it, it's still only either MHL or USB.

Hope so. It's weird that there are no accessories for Galaxy Nexus. Usually, accessories are sold before the phone is sold.

Nice..i kinda wished it used the 3-pins on the sides instead tho. Imma still grab it once its available.
This is exaaaaaaactly what I have been looking for. I wonder if there will be a way to get a gnex with a case to fit in it...thats the pain with most docks, not case friendly . Any ideas?
I bought a desk dock for my Captivate and up to now I cannot get it to work. What should I do?

What dock did you purchase and what is wrong with it?
Hi All,
just thought I would let you know the Desktop dock is now available from Expansys UK @ £49.99, showing 100+ in stock.
The price is not the best, but its the only place with stock at the moment.
Thanks
Just got mine from amazon
Got mine from Amazon (Germany) too, yesterday... like it very much, and got a nice surprise when the stock launcher went into portrait mode while docked --- EDIT: oh sorry, I meant Landscape mode of course.
It only charges the phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
From the looks of it only charging and audio + the infamous dock mode or at least thats what says on the site .
Can anyone check if it works with the CDMA version? What about the extended battery?
I am kinda upset now that this is available when I just spent some money on a MHL adapter.
I'm all for the desktop dock, but the issue I have is that little USB jack in the ass end of my phone is very delicate, and I'd rather not "jam" it down on any metal jack over and over and....you get the point.
Admittedly with dropbox and so forth the micro USB jack is only good for flashing roms, and for now charging.
I'm holding out for the pogo pin adapter.
A long time ago with my first microusb jack phone on my USB A to Micro USB Male cord I took the male jack and filed the "hooks" off of the USB connector so that it slid in easily with no force at all. I found it hard to gauge the force due to the "hooks" pushing back or a misalignment being the case.
I don't see the dock on Amazon or Expansys US sites, can anyone post a link?
I'd like a link as well.
Unfortunately for me, I was able to damage the USB port on the galaxy nexus (don't ask me how, I have no idea), and once I get the replacement part I wouldn't like to take the risk again.
It's a bit overpriced, but I think it looks cool to use it as a clock at side of my bed. Would be nice too if a USB port was on it, but I think it doesn't.

I think the topic creator was talking about this dock here that is available with the pogo pins
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-desk-stand-226695/
Hey, it is not possible to turn the screen off while on this dock? I do not see a way to hit the power button like the car dock has (the button extension on the car dock itself).... That would really be a bummer....
Can anyone post a pic of the back?
I want to see if it works with the seidio extended battery.
I just called customer service to see why my order is still being processed and they told me it will be out of stock until april 10th. I wasn't going to play this "oh its coming next week" every week game with them, so I cancelled my order... I'll just buy from Amazon.de or Amazon.co.uk

Yes thank you, i wondered how people had got mixed up with the HDMI dock, which is obviously named and looks a lot different.........
so what you guys rate it out of 10? the reason i ask is i have a tendancy to break to micro usb ports on my phones, and think the pogo pins would save me from doing this....
thanks guys!!!

Guys my 3 dots on the right side of the phone is silver, not gold.
(My phone is GSM. And phone made in
Fabrique au Vietnam par Samsung)
what this might mean?
regards.
So your phone is made in Vietnam. Maybe upload a pic of the pogo pins that you say are silver? It would probably have no effect whatsoever, just that they tweaked the design a bit/used different parts...

They are called pogo pins, and when they make contact with a compatible accessory, they charge on contact. So far, Samsung hasn't really taken advantage of the technology, with the exception of a desktop dock, which only really saves you the trouble of inserting and removing a regular charger cable.

I can't post an outside link as a new member, but if you search for "galaxy nexus pogo dock," you should be able to find it in a lot of places, including Samsung's website.
Are there any? Cant seem to find one anywhere yet.
Same question. There are no pogo pins like on the one x and no wireless charging options so any dock would have to be charge via the USB port on the bottom.
I use my phone as a bedside alarm clock so a dock is an important accessory for me
Si
Big question for me too. Especially with wireless charging omitted.
Hopefully there will be a dock soon.

I don't suppose anyone has managed to come across a dock yet?
Other than using the Car dock on a desk, I can't find much out there at all!
I found this one: http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1453. Haven't found out yest where to buy it though.
And this generic one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cover-mate-desktop-charging-dock-for-htc-smartphones-p37618.htm. Looks like instable though, no support in the back so it will hang on the usb port....

U need a specific dock for the M7 as the micro usb at the bottom is flipped from the usual setup. Using the second dock would mean having the phone facing away from you.

Dont think so. The first one is announced for the HTC One and has the same micro usb as the 2nd link. The 2nd link you can slide the usb connection left and right to center it for example. But the most important part (the back and front of the micro usb) is the same in both pictures

Sorry my bad I didn't read it and just had a brief look. But what I mean is not all generic docks will work as the HTC One (not sure about other models) has a inverted Micro USB port. Thus a generic dock which may work for the S3 for instance, will not work for the M7.
Is is possible to get a dock that outputs a line out?

The dock was announced on the 18th, and the HTC One hasn't been released officially so it will take a while for it to go on sale I'm guessing.
I noticed the guys at Gadgets4Geeks have the kidigi desktop dock and charger available for order.
