I might be getting a HTC Amaze soon (and paying ~$150 on top of the hassle of selling it for a One S isn't worth it for me), and I'm considering getting the official desktop dock and car dock while they're still available...but is it worth it? Seems like getting them in-store is about the only place to get them (if the store has it period), as I only see like two eBay listings for just the car dock on the entire web. I get that they're not too extraordinary (desktop dock particularly), but I don't want to be with the Amaze a few months down the line and not being able to find either for a reasonable price.
i have not even seen the desktop dock anywhere i just got my amaze today from tmobile didnt see it in the store. On another note if you want to trade your s for my amaze let me know lol
I have both the car and desk dock personally. I have them in my store available for purchase, but i know not every T-Mobile store receives them
I wonder if someone who has the car dock would be willing to measure the diameter of the suction cup on it? I have a dash friction mount that I would love to attach the arm of the official dock to, but I don't want to buy it if the suction cup is larger than the surface on the friction mount I have.
Yes we have them in, I'm mad we don't get much amaze stuff but dock is cheap for 49.99

This is interesting. I had no clue there was a desktop dock for this phone. I've never seen it in store. I may have to pick it up and do a bit of modding to make a very useful car dock for GPS navigation as the one I have is a bit.....
I'm sitting on an extra OEM desktop dock that someone didn't end up paying for. Willing to sell for 30 including shipping to US or 40 to Canada. Send me a PM if interested.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but you can find official HTC Amaze OEM car docks on ebay. Just search for HTC Amaze car dock. They're around 20 bucks.

Ebay... Car dock and desktop dock both for $39.

Received the items yesterday. It's the real deal. OEM Car and Desk dock... still with the T-Mobile price tags attached. The desk dock is listed at $49.99 ALONE!
Since I could never find the car dock, I went with a different solution. I already had the Trident Kraken AMS case so I was able to buy a part from Trident that uses the AMS feature to turn into a car dock. The part is only $15, so if you have a Trident Kraken case, pair it up with a car charger and you are ready to go!
There's no more docks left, oh well

Thanks. I probably won't get one of either, but I wanted people to see where to find them.
- for the car holder, I have not been able to find a charger that will keep up with the battery drain of the Amaze when using data, GPS, and keeping the screen on. I use Google Maps navigation by connecting the BT and turning off the screen. Otherwise this would be a great setup.
- for the desktop, I keep my Amaze in a TPU case. Still I might consider it for home use at night...
Ah, what the heck, I went ahead and bought the car model - what a deal!!

I have TPU cases for my Amaze as well but I bought it not only for the dock but for the "official" HTC charger. I can use it without the dock and it charges fast.

I picked this up from Best Buy, it's obviously a generic type thing that lots of companies sell under their own brand name since this wasn't cobra or the other brand referenced in that link. I drove around with it all day and for the most part it did well. You have to be careful not to push hard on the sides, it's too similar a motion to the twist you use to remove it. I might modify the brackets on the bottom so that it sits better on them. I only had it fall off once and it's because I was messing with it and then took a hard turn up a steep ramped curb. It bounced to my passenger seat floor. I was trying to dislodge it though so I don't blame it really. I'll try to do some video of it while driving to help others.
I have the official dock from HTC for the Sprint View. It comes with a AC Charger and a USB cable that are identical to those that ship with the tablet. I am unsure what the button does as I didn't see any documentation with the dock. I had to buy the dock and stylus in order to get 25% off the accessories and then a $50 credit to get the pen for free.

It probably won't. I had their EVO 4G version with the slot to charge the extra battery and that didn't either.
if you have a case on your phone do you have to take the case off to make it fit when charging?
Seems like it, may work with the stick on decal skin though. Why can't they make an removeable insert like the iGrip car dock is beyond me....

Thanks for the info! I actually think I like that one better than the one I ordered off of ebay a few days ago. I may get this one too and then have one for work and one for home, but I use the Defender at work so that would be an issue...I dont know, just thinking out loud...
I had my eye on that one for about a month and kept searching for a US seller to buy it from as it would be easier to return if anything was wrong with it. I finally found one last week at Amazon that looks like the same one, but rebranded: "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle / Desktop Docking Station for HTC EVO 3D".
Search Amazon for ASIN: B005DIJOZQ and you'll find it.
The one I ordered arrived today and I am now testing it. So far, so good. It does a good job of charging the phone and holds the device at a good angle for watching shows, etc. I watched two episodes of 'Game of Thrones' on HBOGo using this cradle tonight.
I like the spare battery slot because it holds the battery upright instead of horizontally and uses less desk space. I'm still charging a battery in the slot now, so I can't tell you how well the spare battery slot works yet, outside of noting it is a bit of a snug fit, even for the OEM battery that came with my Evo, but it does seem to fit.
There are two LED lights on the front. So far, the left light remains blue and the right light remains green. I haven't seen them change as I've charged batteries or removed phone or battery from the phone, so I'm not sure they do anything significant at all.
I'll report back when I've had enough time to charge the spare battery in the slot now. I am very interested to hear reports from anyone who buys the Kidigi branded cradle too. I need a second cradle so I have one for the home and another for work, and I'm waiting to buy the second until I've had some time to test this one.
Oh yeah, I can confirm that the RND branded cradle I ordered from Amazon only fits the phone in the original case or at least cases that add no extra dimension to the Evo 3D. Also, the spare battery slot would not fit an extended battery that is larger in dimension than the original battery.

The RND model I bought does not activate dock mode automatically. If it truly is the Kidigi model with rebranding, then I expect the Kidigi model doesn't either.
It looks nice...not a bad price either...

My eBay dock came in today and I love it! Big thing for me is charging an extra battery, which the eBay dock does. Also, my phone fits in the dock with either the HTC silicone case or the Otterbox Impact, but the charging nipple doesn't go in deep enough to trigger charging. I'm sure that could be modified to work quite easily though if anyone cared to, I don't....
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
After testing the RND dock I posted about yesterday, I have found that the spare battery slot doesn't work very well. You have to fiddle with a battery to get it to make a good contact and it's pretty unreliable for charging the spare.
The dock section for the phone works well, but if you are like me and want a dock that simultaneously charges a spare battery, pass on the RND model.
If someone has a better experience with the Kidigi model, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I still think it likely these are the same cradle branded differently, but I could very well be wrong. The pictures just look too close for comfort for me.
supposedly, the Seidio model, which does NOT have a spare battery compartment, does activate dock mode, and since there are removable inserts, will fit phone with some cases still on them..I ordered one, and hoping for delivery today or tomorrow
copped the kidigi model finally after going back and forth
I really wanted that one as well, but, I don't want to have to take my case off constantly to dock the phone when at my desk; I hope the Seidio dock allows for my otter box to stay on while docked..
I tried to order that Kidigi dock when they first posted it, but even a month ago, they were only saying "tentative" shipping in August...Let us know how it works for you!

Will not fit with a case on the phone. Best buy - buy a quickly removable case (such as TPU Cases)
I don't have stock rom so I can't verify this triggers the phone for Dock Mode. Somebody will have to verify!
Once the spare battery is charged I flip it over to just hold the battery until I'm ready to use it.
PS: Does not throw my phone into a boot loop!!!
Love the purchase.

Thanks. I went ahead and just got the dock. See how that goes before dropping the cash on extra batteries.
I need a desktop dock and a car dock for my Evo 3D. Any suggestions for a good and cheap dock?
Is there a dock that you can put the phone in and it will charge the phone and also have an audio output on the dock? I don't know if this is possible but if there is one I would like to get it. That way I could connect (and leave connected) some speakers (or the car's aux input) to an audio output on the dock. So I could just drop the phone into the dock and it would charge plus the audio would already be hooked up.
If this isn't possible then I guess just a good desktop and car dock suggestion for cheap (that charge the phone) and will fit with a kickstand case.
Dunno about cheap, look around on pricing, but Kidigi do both a car dock and a desk dock (No idea about the audio bit).

Fitting Car Dock in Germany
Hey Guys,
as I am not allowed to post in the Developer Forum yet,
which slowly get's on my nerves (but I get the reasons for it),
I finally found something to post somewhere else that is not completely meaningless.
Does anybody know where to get one of those "good" car mounts in Germany???
I am looking for something like Kidigi Car Mount Cradle CM-HE3D, iGrip perfectFit Vehicle mount or the Seidio one.
I want something with USB pass-through so I just have to put the Evo in.
Even better if the Camera is not obscured.
The Kidigi one is my favorite. Unfortunately the official reseller cjdirect.de seems not to have it yet (i will call them next week).
Only other way for me would be form the US or HongKong which I wouldn't prefer for reasons like tax, delivery time and so on.
I found it on Amazon.fr for 25 Euro but they won't deliver to Germany.
Then I found it in another French shop where they want 41 Euro because of delivery.
The Seido Innotraveler is available on amazon.co.uk für 37 Euro but I don't like the looks so much.
The iGrip I coulnd't finde at all (in Europe).
So if anyone could help me out and suggest something I would really appreciate it. Else, I guess I will call cjdirect and maybe order one from Hong Kong or France.
Nearly forgot, of course i know about the official HTC car kit but I don't like that either, and for 40 Euro I would rather pay 1 Euro more for Kidigi one or go to Hong Kong. Same with the one from Brodit. Just too expensive.
Thanks
I use this one for my HD2 but with a different mounting part. I dont know whether both cameras are uncovered. http://www.ebay.de/itm/KFZ-Halter-H...alterungen&hash=item3f0facce90#ht_2721wt_1113

Thank you. Looks good but is not quite what i was hoping for.
I don't want to handle any cables when I want to load my phone in the car.
As I could'nt find anything else either I guess I just order the Kidigi mount through ebay from Hong Kong.
Ok, as I am really interested in a good car kit, too, maybe you could share your experience here when you have received the product. I am currently preferring this one http://www.pdamax.de/Zubehoer/HTC/EVO-3D/Kfz-Kit-CU-S520-Halterung-Ladekabel,hz-620:338.html or I will just buy a new cradle and put it on my existing model but it seems the major problem with most of the kits is the cameras not having free sight.
This is the official dock by HTC and due to the camera being obscured and
the high price I decided against it.
I will report about the KiDiGi dock as soon as I receive it.
It is on it's way already but tracking with DHL doesn't work yet (if at all).
have you look at the iGrip car dock?
Yes, thes iGrip dock would have been my second choice.
It has the best reviews of all but as it didn't matter
to me if I order from HongKong or the US I chose Kidigi
for it's looks and it's price.
I also found some reviews about the Kidigi docks for the Desire (I guess), here in the xda forum.
Were quite good too.
For all who are interested, you maybe want to checkout amazon.co.uk
for the Seidio Evo 3D Innotraveler Car Dock (not allowed to post links yet)
High Price but would have been my third choice, still better than HTC one because Camera should be free.
You need credit card though, same as in France for Kidigi.
Choose wisely
Anyone used both the iGrip and HTC car dock? I'd like to know which seems more solid. The obscured cameras don't really matter to me on the HTC one because there's a 99.99% chance I won't be snapping pics while driving.
As far as desk docks, I found this. OEM FTW.

You can find articles comparing HTC and igrip docks. HTC seems more solid, less vibrations, according to them.am on my phone, you can find them through Google.
and the camera is not only for taking pictures, which shouldn't be done too frequently , but for example for navigon reality scanner.
how much vibration come purely down to what mounting solution you use, if you choose a low vibration mount or vehicle specific mount any dock can be rock solid, I have the iGrip but I do not use the included suction mount as I hate having it on the windshield, I use a dash friction pad with a different suction mount that allow me to have it sit in between the instructment panel and the GPS LCD on my RDX, if I use it in my Mazda6 I have a Proclip vehicle specific mount (VSM) and that's super rock solid. I don't know about the HTC, but the iGrip Dock use the Herbert Richter (HR) 4 prong mount system so can use any mount that support the HR system or get a adopter plate, that's what I use in my Mazda with the Proclip, screw the plate onto the VSM and off i go, and if my wife want to use a dock on for her iphone its easy to swap also.
Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.

Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:

there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

Did you ever get the One X car dock? Did it work well with the EVO 4G LTE?
Thanks...
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, so I'll update the thread.
Official Sprint/HTC Car dock
$34.99
Yeah I noticed that but I have a proclip already and wanted to keep the same basic system if possible.

Oh I have seen that one along time ago. I just don't care for Sprint products. Seidio has a better build quality I feel.

Did you order the HOX car dock from Proclipusa.com and did it fit the E4GLTE?
Thanks,

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.
so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?
i just ordered one from slipgripcarmounts. they are custom molded so you can leave your case on. does anyone know if there any good? Ill post a review if anyone wants..
