Incredible Desktop Dock

Does anyone know if VZW plans on releasing a desktop dock in the future. I remember a little while back someone posted a link to a .PDF that had all current/future VZW Incredible accessories listed and their model numbers, I just can't seem to find it for the life of me.
Edit:
Attached, .PDF limit was 800kb so it had to be zipped.

I dont have an account for that site can you post it here.

R.I.P Desktop Charging Cradle for the HTC Incredible
http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-incredible-desktop-charging-cradle.html

opens the door for seidio to go ahead and make one. Maybe they will.

As hard as it is to plug the charge cable in sometimes, I'm betting we'll end up not seeing one. That, and the inability for the phone to go into landscape mode on the sense desktops, and no way to automatically switch to desktop clock mode...

Yeah...this news sent me to the wood shop. I posted round 1 in another thread. One of the issues I have with landscape is that the volume controls end up being underneath the unit when its placed this way.

Cm 6 solves this problem. Allows for landscape both ways.

Yes...I am anxiously awaiting camera working version.

Saw this desktop cradle over on the droidforums.
http://store.droidforums.net/mobi-products-cradle-w-spare-battery-slot/5A100A7114.htm

This one is no good. The phone stands straight up. I bought 2 and had to send them back. They do have one that lets the phone be angled. FYI

I have this one... its a little snug fit but I dont plug my phone in to charge it I just use it for a secondary battery charger and it works great... you can charge the phone and the battery at the same time but with the issues with the phone charging the battery I choose not to

Froyo does the same.

I'm hoping that after Froyo for the Inc comes out officially, we'll see a landscape dock that works..

I really don't understand HTC and Seidio's reasoning for not building one of these. They say its because the charging port is in a weird position. How hard would it be to just make a dock where you slide the phone in from the right side? Like just have one side of the dock open. That way you can use all of the functionality of sense, and don't have to worry about losing the volume controls.

I agree. I would prefer it to stand up anyway. The ones where you have to then plug in the cable are no good for me, I would rather just slide it to the left to seat it without having to try to plug in the cable.
Something like attached

Yeah that's exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the illustration! It can't be that hard to design something like that. It probably wouldnt work with a case, but hey at least its better than nothing.

Heres a nice custom dock.. maybe someone with an account there should have him make the vertical left slider dock!

HERE is the dock I was going to get. But after seeing the one above that UgXvibe linked to, I may have to wait a little longer and see how much that one will cost. It's sweet too.

Loose Micro USB Connetor

I thought I got lucky and got a N7 without any problems but it looks like my micro USB port is defective! The plug only works if I lightly push it down, the contacts inside aren't connecting properly. I've attached a picture showing how I had to rig it to get it to charge.

Interesting. Mine has been on charge for 5 hours and it still won't switch on or give any charging notifications. I've already requested a refund from google, but if this works I'll at least be able to spend the £15 play credit on books!

when come out of the package, there is a clear tape/wrap around the plug, did you remove that? I didn't bother to remove mine and I find the usb plug to be pretty tight.. tighter than all other devices I've owned..

Odd, if anything my USB port/cable are tighter than any other device I own.

You're keeping it, in this state? RMA is your friend

This sucks! I need to be able to use this device daily for work. It's replaced an older one I've gotten rid of. Will Google send a new one first?

try replace a cable first?? Use one from your phone and see how's the fitment first. Could be just the cable.

I have noticed that the one that shipped works fine, but I have another one with a longer cord (so it can sit on my desk and charge it's a long way to the floor) and that one slips out unless it's sitting on the desk I can't use it or the plug will fall out.

Mine seems to be the tightest fit of any device yet but I have left the plastic on the tip.

If you have to rig it like that it more then likely has a bad solder joint meaning it the charging port needs to be re-soldered back down to the phone, or the port may need to be replaced because one or more of the legs has broken off of the back of the port, or one or more of the pins inside the front of the port is bent out of place.

I have the same problem...though mine isn't as extreme as yours. Mine is just loose. Thankfully it connects. But it looks like is bending like crazy. I have to wait for gamestop to get more n7 till I can exchange it. Asus really screwed the pooch on this device. So many defects.

I've tried 2 other micro usb cables, the original works best. The original is actually extended a bit longer than any other micro usb I've seen.

Yes, ask for an Advanced RMA. Although, to get one you need to give them some payment information. They send you another device and put a hold on your credit card until they receive the other device.

My USB port has become loose after a week of general use and charging. Going to contact Google for repair / replacement I think. Not the first device I have had this problem on - although I doubt like my Alienware they will send an engineer out to fix it on site (now that is service).

Ive got this problem now too. GOing to return it tonight and hopefully get a new one.

Had to return mine also
I had to return my micro USB plug also ,,, but Nexus sent another
in about a week ... called them for info on how ,,, and they
sent info to email ..

I understand completely, I wish someone would tell me a simpler method than resoldering the port. I'm nowhere inclined to do this myself being as I have no clue how to even begin how to solder anything. I have to use 2 rubber bands, an 8 inch strip of clear duct tape, a bottle of hair gel to add weight, and my microwave to hold it all in place.. =| HELP??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Right-Angle...emale-OTG-Adapter-Connector-1pc-/170940006572
for $3 plus change shipped, I would recommend right angle connector over straight one since it doesn't protrude too much outside of the case, and just looks cleaner with a phone without anything sticking out; also helps so you don't knock it out. With Sandisk Cruzer you can't even see usb drive, just a little flashing led dot.

I wonder if there is any flash drive will directly mount on micro-USB port.

Not *exactly* but its pretty close, its basically just an otg adapter with a normal drive. One of the benefits of having a dedicated microusb drive would be the size, it woild be able to be smaller that the 'normal' usb drives, much thinner.

I already use a otg adapter. Just for transfering files to a flash drive. I was just wondering if there was a microusb drive I could plug directly into the phone, negating the need for an adapter. Not looking to connect multiple items or hdmi or whatever and connecting an external power supply is just inconvenient, unless I understood it wrong? What benefits do a 11 pin off other than faster connection on multiple items?

Just FYI I had an adapter that looks exactly like this that I'd been using on my galaxy nexus. Doesn't work on my note 2. It almost felt as if it was a little too short to make a good connection.

Wireless Charging case

Anyone hear anything about a case that can enable wireless charging/Qi for the G2 that is non-Verizon? I heard in Europe they are getting something like that but any updates or news that you heard of please share!

Good luck.

thats a nice idea - but what would it plug into? there are no contacts for a wireless charging case to actually get the voltage into the phone on my International G2.
I don't see how LG will ever make one to be honest..

Just a heads up, the new dodge dart has a qi pad in it and u can buy a thing that plugs into the charging port and sticks to a case and charges via a qi pad, however they r not available yet but will be soon. Not much details other than a pic and description during training but it looks promising as sine kind of generic device. It appears to stick to the back of a tpu type case and they show it on an iphone and what looked like an s3/note2 possibly, but it was a goofy footprint shaped maybe 1/8" thick thing shaped like a snowman with two circles one the size of a quarter and the other a little bigger than a Eisenhower with a wraparound piece that plugged into the micro plug. It doesn't look horrible but definitely weird and doesn't explain any details like how it deals with an upside down Jack or phone thicknesses. They also list a couple other case styles such as a silicone jacket looking thing on an iphone and a Jack that went to a small square pad. Its to drop with the 14 dart, which we are ordering now. Just saw it today though.

Looks interesting, but I couldn't find it in any shop.
I found this one instead on ebay: Type A Micro USB Qi Wireless Universal Charger Tag Receiver Coil For LG G2 New
Maybe with this you can build your own Qi Case with any standard case. I bought one and will report if and how it works.

Hmm, that's pretty cool. Didn't know they made those, that makes it quite a bit easier.
I found one which seems quite a bit cheaper and doesn't include a case, ect.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Q...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2584a5f312
Who wants to give it a try lol..

I really wish LG would come out with something by now. The phone has been out for a while and they should have released the case they announced by now.

I just ordered one of these. That said, because I have no existing charging mats/plates around, I'll have to order some right away. Since this solution uses the usb port, that means unlike native solutions, I cannot both charge by cable and by wireless. I'll have to completely switch over to wireless for the most part.
So did any of the earlier posters end up getting any of these? Any feedback?

Let us know how it works, I'll probably bite the bullet and get one too. Which one did you order?

The only problem with that is, you would have to unplug it if you wanted to plug the phone into a pc and say transfer files. Sure there are wireless means of doing that, but some people would rather a physical connection to transfer.

With how often I really do that since LTE is faster than residential comcast, I'd rather just unplug the charger when I needed to. Anything I need on or off my phone is generally just synced to dropbox because that's where I'm gonna need it anyways.
