UPDATE: It appears that the dock is the regular portrait dock with HDMI, so the photo is wrong at the source.CA sorry guys I don't seem to be able to edit the title of this thread.
From thesource.ca (it's Canada's Radioshack) , it's online only but they can ship to your nearest store. I can't post links yet sorry

I would, however every do it yourself job has only been USB charging unless you are running a custom kernel. The OEM dock does AC charging and invokes the dock mode which gives proper landscape with the OEM launcher.
USB charging is not enough to keep up in Navigation mode.
I found something interesting in the description that they provide (will be higlighted in bold)
The OEM Samsung Desktop Dock is designed to hold the *Samsung Galaxy Nexus while charging it. The dock comes with a standard micro USB input that can be used with either a main charger or USB cable and a 3.5mm audio line-out connection so that you can connect your device to an external speaker for high-quality audio reproduction. The dock has been designed to be used in both portrait and landscape orientations. This means that you can switch from answering emails to watching YouTube clips without having to unplug your device. The dock also has additional volume controls on the side so that you can adjust the volume regardless of the orient of your phone.
I wonder what these additional volume controls are. Because looking at previous pics of the dock I didn't see any actual buttons on it to control the volume. I hope they aren't referring to the volume on the phone or external speakers.
It is just a shame that I had already ordered the dock from expansys.ca and expecting it in a couple of days otherwise I would have went with this option.
hmm this has been out for a while in canada... almost a month, if not longer

I ordered two of them on April 17th. They are being shipped (from Vancouver). I have the tracking number, and the expected delivery date is April 24th.
Cool I ordered one yesterday but no tracking as of yet
Yeah mine is on the way as well, should be able to pick it up from my local store on Monday!
Mine is showing shipped now. Should be at my store by Monday I hope. Excited to test it out.

Pogo
Are you sure it is coming? I ordered this from gocellular and the guy who runs the website there told me he was misinformed by the person he ordered it from... it was just one of the portrait docks. Not trying to burst anyone's bubbles but I would hate you guys get a landscape dock just because of some unscrupulous supplier.
Please post if you get it! I would be glad to order from whomever has these things.
Would this be compatible with the Verizon i515 Galaxy Nexus?

So, I just purchased a Car Dock for my GN from expansys, arrived a few mins ago. Upon putting my phone on it, a notification saying "Car mode enabled" appears. There is no other changes though...
My question is, so what is car mode supposed to enable? So the Pogo Pins are just novelty?
GSM Galaxy Nexus Running AOKP build 37
When Car mode is enabled, the default Car Home app is activated, and audio is routed through the dock. Sounds like you don't have a "Car Home" app installed though at the moment.
Well, you're not supposed to be able to put a car home app in the Galaxy Nexus...
I was hoping that something would happen with the car dock... I guess this is a Google fail?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Car Home
Can't you simply download any car home app that you choose from the play store? I haven't seen one that is built into the nexus.
I just got mine also and when I put the phone in it does absolutely nothing. It does show that it's charging But I can't get anything else to work.

How is a Google fail. If you don't have a car home app installed, it's rather silly to expect it to do anything.

Galaxy Nexus is supposed to be Google's flagship phone and the pogo pin was supposed to enable something in the phone, even on stock without the user needing to download anything extra like what the nexus one is able to do.
The Galaxy Nexus however apparently is not able to do anything different regardless of when you purchase a car dock with pogo pins or not. The user still have to get a "Car Home" app from the marketplace.
So, why did I buy an official car dock instead of just getting a better dock that cost cheaper and works with multiple devices?
Do you get what I mean?

Well sort of. But I don't understand why it is an issue to install Google's Car Home. The files I posted are ones I ripped from the Nexus One ROM, so you have the same functionality as the N1.
When you insert the GNex into the dock, it launched Car Home, exactly like the N1...

That's not exactly what's going on. As another poster noted, "Car Mode" on the phone does a couple of things when you insert the phone into the POGO dock.
- The phone does into landscape (no big deal I know)
- The phone activates a digital audio stream (spdif) through the pogo pins which the car dock changes into analog via a digital/analog board in the dock. This enables you to use the line out with a 3.5mm jack while only needing the 3 pogo pins connected
- The phone triggers whatever default "car dock app" you have installed. There isn't an OEM one at this time preinstalled, but from my experience those usually suck anyway compared to the market offerings. There are free car dock market apps out there, but CarHome Ultra is by far the best, in my opinion.
- The phone charges at AC speed via the included adapter. This is enough to not lose power even when the screen is on, running navigation, and using an audio player all at the same time.
The dock is far from a google fail, in my opinion.

This depends on the orientation that you have. If you have it portrait, it stays portrait. So basically this is not what the dock does.

Yeah, I realize... I was just kinda hoping a little that the information that I've heard so far was wrong, as in google hid something inside the phone's system that would activate something that would make the phone awesome...

You can do this using "Fast Charge" from AOKP ^^
One other thing the dock does is it forces the phone to "Keep Awake"
I guess I'm just pretty disappointed after all the hype that there might be a secret feature to it. The dock is pretty nice regardless.
Oh well~

I was disappointed too. I thought the dock would unlock a secret feature so it would make me breakfast while I drive to work and dinner on the way home.
At least it charges my phone at an AC rate without needing to connect a wire everytime I get in the car.
Well, that helps although I think Google should direct the user to get a car home app. It was preinstalled with Gingerbread, I think..
I was thinking that when you get the car dock a secret would show up or something. I installed the one from Nexus One.
Thanks for the clarification.
Finally bought the expensive mhl adapter for the s3 and after hooking up my phone to my samsung px2370 1080p monitor, I don't like what I'm seeing. The picture looks really fuzzy and reminds me of interlaced output. Plus my monitor is reporting a resolution of 1920x1079. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

It might just be my pc monitor. I can't even get it to work with my computer via hdmi (dvi works though, as well as with my 360 and ps3). The adapter looks legit to me. I'll be trying it on a different tv and/monitor in a bit

I bought the new MHL adapter as soon as it was available from Samsung. Output from applications like Netflix is reduced quality, this is intentional by the Netflix app. If you play a HD movie, you will see the quality is very good.
My only problem was lag. It looked good, but it was the equivalent of playing a video game with a framerate of around 20 FPS, it made gaming impossible and movies frustrating. I was told it may be my MHL adapter, but I haven't gotten a new one yet.
Saying it's the adapter is the easy answer. I have one that works perfectly on almost any LCD TV I have tried, but on LCD monitors, I have issues usually. I have used it with an HDMI to DVI cable, and got the exact result you described. I think it has something to do with the monitor not recognizing the native output. I haven't used it on an HDMI monitor.
I can confirm it works quite well on almost all TV's.
Ok I think I know what the problem is now. Seems like the s3 only outputs tp 1080i, that explains the flickering and fuzziness on my Led monitor. Is there no mod or hack to at least make it output at 720p instead (since 1080p would probably be to demanding)? Why would samsung stick to just 1080i? Was it the same with previous phones like the s2?

Now that I'm on the puter it's gonna be easier to explain, I bought a T-Mobile MHL kit when
I got the HTC One S and rooted the device but for some reason it wouldn't work with it so
about a month after I had the One S I bought the GS3 and rooted it (still have both) and
tried it with this one and still nothing.
I was told by a few that it might not work on a rooted device but after doing the research it
seems that I'm the only one having this problem but I figured trying it on a different device
should show something, I'm at the point now that I'm sure it's the MHL kit and not a root
problem.
AFAIK only 1 cable/adapter exists that works with the s3 and its an official samsung product. Previous mhl adapters won't work due to a change in pin layout to the connector so if you bought one that isn't marked for the s3, the most likely isn't compatible and won't work. Even official s2 mhl adapters won't work

It figures, I should just restore the One S to stock or sell it but on another note I just posted a tutorial for anyone interested on how to use the GS3 and the PS3 as a media server, connections and settings if you have a PS3 already. In the T-mobile general section.

I am finding it needs to be a certain type of cable. Not certain of the particulars tho. I had an S3 and the iBolt car mount came with the right cable. Tis the only one I have found that works so far.
Thanks for the info I didn't know that, hopefully they make a dock for it or you think I can get the one for gs3 and use the cable only?

Can someone who has a 10.1 2014 tablet and a multimedia dock have a look at my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48448035&postcount=3 and please confirm to me, whether the tablet fits into this dock and works perfectly , because the dock is primarily meant for GNII/III and S3/4 .
Thanks for your quick answers.
I have the Samsung smart dock the was originally marketed for a note2. This tablet doesn't even acknowledge it as a power source.

Ok sounds strange. The note 2 and 3 and this tablet all have....supposedly the 11 pin micro usb connector. The links I have mentioned in my post have the dock which is advertised to work with note 2/3 , so it still remains a mystery of whether it will work....secretly I am hoping it should...

Well seems like there is mixed response in making sure that a S4/N2/N3 multimedia dock will work with N 10.1 2014 or not.
The OEM Samsung dock mentioned, is barely just a charger with audio out function, not a true multimedia dock like I have mentioned in my first post, which effectively i wanna marry with the 10.1 2014 to make it a productivity workstation.
Anyways seems like I have to get one true multimedia dock in hand and keep checking it around with display and demo unit to know.
By that time keep pouring in with your results and suggestions if you come across any other dock for this beast.
Thanks for your replies.

The unit will charge through one of the USB connections using a cable, but will not do anything through the main connector.
Oh, and your mileage may vary, I just noticed your Note is a 605 and mine is a 600 ... I doubt that will make a difference, but you never know.
I bought one for the S4 with broken screen, so I'll report back
It does not work.
