No, this is the one that was released at launch, this is the one that also causes the non-responsive screen issues on the Incredible.
I'm a bit peeved Incredible isn't getting any fancy docks like the Moto Droid got, and Seidio cancelled there desk/car/innotraveler docks.
why aren't they more readily available?

That i couldn't say because i have no idea
i just know that Verizon has done a poor job at marketing/supporting this phone. not only did they botch the launch there not even trying to get accessory support nor are they marketing it as much as they are Moto Droid
They r said to vamp up the marketing once the phone is back n stock. I have a friend who is a regional manager at vzw and he says as soon as they start shipping again the are going to have a huge push for this phone. He already has new window posters and a stock pile of t shirts for when try start shipping again. No point in advertising something that u don't have to sell n the first place right?

Well it seems ridiculous that my phone has a tv out function but no cable. The original Droid had car docks, home docks, and a wealth of other accessories. I feel like I've been forgotten about.
I feel like he's telling the truth and we will see some heavy advertising for our DInc. This is still a badass phone guys. I own a N1 and to me my DInc is better hands down.

I have this dock and its great! Like that it has the belt clip detachment. Yes you do have to take your case off to use it though but that takes all of 5 seconds. I havent experienced the grounding issues in this dock at all, think that was with those cheap universal styrofoam ones.

Thanks for that, I was debating on whether or not to grab a dock for my office.
I hope they keep these in stock. Once I jump over to verizon, I am definitely getting this dock. I've been dock-deprived since Tmobile shorted us with G2 docks.

I have been trying to get one at VZW for the past few weeks, and they have never had them in stock, looks like I'm going to have to get one on Amazon..
Read there the Dock doesn't support USB file transfer? I'll bet if the Moto drivers were installed it would work:

Good question,
The Atrix or Photon multimedia docks have more options but I don't think their all interchangeable from what pplude said about using extension cables to plug his D3 into his Atrix dock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16466185&postcount=11
Plus the HD Multimedia Dock is already out for the D3 so I doubt we will be getting a second HD Multi Dock, tho it looks more like a standard dock.
Some quick searches shows webtop might be coming to the D3 tho i'd probably doubt it on account of available memory.

wow
Thanks a lot! I really want to order one ruight now!
this dock is really hard to get in Argentina, i might have to buy it in the US and get it shipped :/
Please help me keep track of replacement parts for this phone. So far I have found:
LCD + Digitizer
OEM Battery Samsung
OEM Battery from eTrade(cheaper)
2A OEM Charger

Flex cable with SIM holder and wireless charging pins
Flex cable with charging port and mic
How to take it apart
Do this at your own risk, remember that you have 1 year warranty, you should first try getting samsung or AT&T to replace.
Would be great if a replacement back was available. I contacted Samsung and they said one is not available and do not have an ETA when it will be.

Exactly, if it doesn't fit you can buy a replacement back for around 11 (see op) and try to modify and seal. May take some work but it would be sweet!

Only one way to find out
If you can get a replacement housing and a s4 camera sensor and then mod them together... I would use some type of sealant and put it around the edge of the sensor and take a drop of water and see if it gets past the housing. Of course do this before putting your system board in the housing... Just as a test. Not sure if it is worth it to you but if we could successfully mod the S4 camera on the active and keep water proof I think most active users will do it. It appears that samsung thought about using the 13 mp sensor but changed their minds because of supply demands.
If I had some extra money I would give it a shot. But my wife would get mad for me tossing out around 30-50 bucks for just a chance of a working mod. any unmarried people out there willing to try?

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.
