I've got both of these and they both work fine but the right angled one is a bit of a tight fit.

i dont have an ebay account, but if i did i would get the second one. it looks cool

Here you go then http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Cable...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1343419154&sr=1-3
I still prefer the right angled one just because the cable is not put under strain when I have in in my lap or on the desk, that said they are cheap enough to buy one of each...

ive got the samsung OTG cable. it works fine for most things. havent tried hard drives/usb sticks though since my nexus 7 isnt rooted. only just got my replacement from google so will have to see if this one is faulty or not before i root it.

I just ordered:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230795421802#ht_2463wt_1163
Says they ship worldwide, and it was only $1.29 for me, free shipping

[Q] Does anyone know if the Captivate Dock works on the Focus?

My wife has a Captivate and as I hold it side by side with my Focus it looks like head phone and micro usb ports are in the exact same position. So this makes me wonder if this dock will work on the Focus??
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D981BEGSTA
This looks like it would. I found it for around 20 bucks online, maybe it is worth the try.
I'm not sure I would want mine in landscape mode, just because of all those incompatible screen layouts.
yes
By works if you mean does it charge your phone then the answer is yes. I dont think it does anything else. I haven't tried anything else though. Will check when I get home and report back.
Yeah I am wondering if it lines up and charges the phone.
Also, does this dock have the ability to connect to your PC via USB or is it hardwired with an AC adapter?
according to samsung, it is not *guaranteed* to work, and, to answer your question, it looks like there is a microusb slot on the back of it so you probably can connect it to the pc
I saw in the picture on Samsung's website that it looks like it has a micro usb slot, but in the Amazon review people were complaining that you could not connect it to a PC. Now that could be because they did not realize that they could use a micro usb cable instead of an AC adapter but i was not sure.
I guess for $30 it is not that big of a deal if it does not work for me they way I hope.
Thanks
Has anyone tried it yet?
It looks like the Captivate/Vibrant **** has the microUSB port in the right place, but not the Epic.
USB is USB, so as long as the physical location is correct, I can think of no reaso it wouldn't work.
Has anyone actually tried the Vibrant or Captivate dock yet to see if it fits

LOL I noticed that too
It doesn't "quite" work.
I bought one from eBay after noticing that they looked similar too. Once I tried it it was a mm or 2 off from fitting. I broke out the ol dremel after that and now it does work, but it won't without some moding.

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.

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??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on what you are using it for, mouse/keyboard/game controllers(I think) do NOT need root. A flash drive or hard drive DOES need root, in which you can use StickMount.

Haha - saw this too late. Already redid everything after rooting. My OTG cables should be here soon. I'm planning to use one "as-is" and the other one I'm going to see if I can mod into my case. I ordered a keyboard case and I'm going to shoot to find some room in there where if I strip down the cable and put a microSD adapter on it I should be able to hide it somewhere!
Thanks!
Wish I had seen your post before. I ordered OTG cables from Amazon, they were cheap but I realized too late that they were shipping from Hong Kong so who knows when I'll be getting them...
something to watch out for... due to the N7's bezel, the OTG cable i purchased does not insert all the way. since its impossible to know yourself, buy ones tried by other members. i have to buy another.. sigh..
I use the Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable found HERE, which was shown by @sleeplessninja HERE.
It is much more expensive then the generic ones but I feel it is better quality.
I use it for keyboard/mouse (use at the same time with USB hub) and a PS3 controller, I actually use a Nyko 3rd party PS3 controller and works fine. All of them work with the N7 out of the box (stock, locked, and not-rooted).

Heavy duty cable that one is. Fits fine, works every time.
Guess it's a case of "get what you pay for".
As much as I wanted to buy a cheap OTG, I couldnt wait when I got my nexus ended up ordering the Samsung Official OTG and it works perfectly with the Nexus 7, its not cheap but hey its well constructed and works.
Got the one from Hong Kong took about 2 weeks. Works just as it should. Gonna pick up a 32gig USB from micro center for dirt cheap and make this tablet limitless.

Well 2 things. The dock doesn't do media only charges/data transfer so I still have to manually disconnect the audio plug which kind of sucks.

M8 car mount/dock

Ok I know there is a lot of dock and mount out there that are universal, but I was looking for one that works perfectly for the M8.
The only dock that saw that looks really good, is the HTC dock, but I really don't want to pay the HTC price, so my question is, does anyone know of a dock or even just a mount that works as well as the HTC dock without having to pay the HTC price?

Why not get something more universal to use with any phone or any case? You can check out my sig link, just scroll down to car mount reviews, I have a ton of those. Personally, I would highly recommend Arkon Mobile Grip 2 since it's the most minimalistic and can also be converted to attach to a picture tripod. Plus, it has one of the best sticky grip base.

This was the email from March 26:
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
We are currently designing a holder for the HTC One (m8).
This design process generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks once the design team obtains the device, but can take longer depending on the device.
Once we have a custom holder available for your device we will send you an email with a link to the products.
It sounds like a very boilerplate response, so that must have been all the info he had at the time. My understanding is that ProClip is just Brodit's exclusive US and Canadian vendor.

The clip that fits in the car usually has glue strips, but often combine that with some sort of slip-in-between-the-seams stuff as well. Then you do screw the holder onto the clip, but that's probably not what you meant.
As for expensive... Yes, it gets expensive, but it's very good quality, which is worth it to me at least.
Oh, and here are the products. None of them are in stores yet, though.
http://www.brodit.com/productList.html?brand=HTC&model=One+(M8)&pn=prod
I have been using the same iBolt kit since my Galaxy S3. Since then I have used it on the Note 2, Galaxy S4, HTC One and my brand new M8. All worked great as I got the dock-launching plugs for both the Samsungs and the HTC. However I just discovered that if you use the long USB with audio cable designed for the sammy, it will charge the HTC (slowly) but won't launch the dock mode. Which is annoying. I had to pull my deck out to uninstall it, and replace it with a standard USB cable. Now it works like a champ! Though I do wish that HTC would do USB analog audio like Samsung. It made car-integration so much better (quality of sound wise) than over bluetooth.

You would think so, wouldn't you. But my active Brodit mount for a Nexus 4 had problems reliably making a power connection. The metal USB bit slipped down and away from the phone within its moulding.
Brodit could not supply spare parts!!.
I resorted to cutting the usb connector apart and using epoxy resin to put it back together again.
Got the HTC mount this time for my M8!
Repair parts? Couldn't they just ship you a new holder? Seems like a clear warranty issue. That is, if brodit has a warranty, I've never needed to find out, and in Norway our consumer laws are so strong warranty is almost never an issue.

I have been using the same iBolt kit since my Galaxy S3. Since then I have used it on the Note 2, Galaxy S4, HTC One and my brand new M8. All worked great as I got the dock-launching plugs for both the Samsungs and the HTC. However I just discovered that if you use the long USB with audio cable designed for the sammy, it will charge the HTC (slowly) but won't launch the dock mode. Which is annoying. I had to pull my deck out to uninstall it, and replace it with a standard USB cable. Now it works like a champ! Though I do wish that HTC would do USB analog audio like Samsung. It made car-integration so much better (quality of sound wise) than over bluetooth.

How well does the suction? because one of the thing that i love about the htc mount is the way the suction is design. Does the suction only work on the glass or can it work on the dash as well?
I bought the iBolt xProDock Kit for HTC
I already had the iBolt for the One X+ (was specific for that one, the new one fits almost all htc phones) and it is perfect (now my wife uses it).
The suction works perfect and you can place it on the window screen or the dashboard. It also starts automaticaly the dock mode.y
I bought this a year ago for my GS4 and loved it: iMagnet. I wasn't sure the metal plate would work with the curved back of the M8, but I just bent it a little and it fits perfectly without scratching the device. I use Car Home Ultra and configured it to launch whenever my car's bluetooth connects to it. Works like a freaking charm
Anyone have the official dock yet? I know they're expensive but I'd still like to hear a review of them. Thanks

Are they even available? I'm looking at the page for it here and while it says it's available at best buy stores, it says unavailable wherever I put in my zip code. Can I only buy it online at the moment?
Your right it's showing as unavailable in my area also.

This seems to be the best solution so far just wish they didn't run so much.
