Docks? - OnePlus 5 Accessories

I ordered a OnePlus 5 for my wife as a birthday gift.
At the moment we both have Nexus phones (hers a 5, mine a 6) and we dock the phones on Qi chargers overnight. I'd like to replace her dock with one that is suitable for the OnePlus. I checked Amazon and found only one dock that supports Dash and the reviews are poor.
At one point a long time ago I thought I saw a "universal" dock which had no built-in cable, instead a clamp assembly that held whatever cable you put in place but I can't find one now.
Anyone have suggestions for a dock?
This is a missed opportunity for OnePlus, they should make a nice dock as an available accessory!

Rockever Dash Charger Dock USB 3.1 TYPE-C Desktop Stand Dock Station Cradle For ONEPLUS 3 3T 5
http://s.aliexpress.com/zaEfYnMz
(from AliExpress Android)
I have this one. Dash charging works great with the original charger and cable (the cable that you can buy extra with this dock is not genuine, therefore dash charging won't work).

Are you going to 3d print one? You can make a little money on the side..

Thanks. Is it like the one on Amazon that is lightweight and easy to knock over? If so, does it have screws on the bottom (I have a bunch of old lead weights I can shape into a weight...).

I don't know about the one on Amazon, but this is not that lightweight and not easy to knock over. On the bottom it has 4 rubber pads, under which I guess there are 4 screws to keep it together. But it's really stable, I don't think you'd have to add magnets.

I know it takes a while to get stuff from Aliexpress to Canada, but I just might have to order one of these.

I am from Romania and we do not have Amazon here. So the only place to order phone accessories at a reasonable price is China. It took about 1 month from the time of purchase to the moment the dock arrived.

Right now there seems to be a major backlog with Canada Post and processing things from China. Some people have had to wait 3-4 months!

I don't know how thick the Otterbox case is, but the plate surrounding the plug springs down about 1-1.5 mm.

Would you not want to use a Qi adapter? I have one on my N6P at the moment and am hoping to use it on my OP5 when I get it too.

Anker EVO 3D cradle

Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

Please do - I'm now very curious since the price has dropped to a reasonable level.
I'm specifically interested in whether dock mode is automatically enabled, and what apps can be run from that configuration.
Also - I doubt it, but I'm curious if an MHL adapter can be connected to the dock to enable HDMI out.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I was afraid having a case will interfere with this. What type case do you have by the way? I was kinda hoping atleast a TPU case would work with this dock.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

Any Docks Tested for the LGOG?

Hello Guys!
I just bought my LGOG and I'm waiting for it in the mail. While it arrives, I've been looking for a dock that supports the phone but haven't found anything yet.
Have you guys know of any Dock that works and fits this phone? I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure it will fit since it's for the S3:

What do you guys think?
yeah I`m about ready to order a desktop dock for a note or note 2 and try it out, I just want it for my night stand, like this one its suppose to have a compliant mico usb so it will flex and move with different thickness of phones still on the fence about it
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...1357149193&sr=8-45&keywords=note+desktop+dock
or one like this
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2032180&CatId=4975
Yeah i only need a dock for charging the phone on my night stand, so i guess a cheap one would do the trick. If no one has tried one yet I guess I'll have to buy one myself to try it out.

Good to know. I use a case so I'll probably have to find a really wide one. I will post any findings here.

here`s a dock I just bought from Amazon, the EZO dock it has adjustable front to back usb connector has soft pad for the back and front, looks like it would work with no problem if you had TPU case on your phone, but I use a neoprene slip pouch for my phone so I don`t have case that stays on the phone. pics are below

Probably be easier to get the coil from the Palm Pre (and cheaper to get parts). But I don't think it charges via the qi standard and you would have to use the TouchStone Charger.

D850 qi charging mod

I purchased a OEM back without any NFC or qi and a white OEM back with the NFC and qi. I'm going to remove it and make it work on the black one since I have a black G3. Both back covers will be here by Saturday so I will post pictures as I go. It may not be the cheapest or most effective way to get qi charging but it will get the job done. I just hate the ATT back with the death star on the back and I wanted to get a new one so I figured why not get qi as well.
(Pictures and walkthrough coming soon)
Let me know if anyone has suggestions or has tried this already.

I'm a bit of a bull in the China shop and have no subtlety at all and it still worked out fine as the sticker sticks quite well.

Get the ones that have three coils in them e.g. the Tylt Vu. They're more expensive but work well. I'd say the problematic ones are those with only one coil.

Nope, no issue at all. You need to position the phone at exactly the right spot, but as the charger is quite small is easy to find it. Then it charges with no interruption and tells you when it's full.
I will probably be doing exactly the same thing

Dock options

I'm coming from a dying N5, which I "dock" on my nightstand and office desk with the Nexus (4) Orb wireless charger. Fantastic setup since the N4.
I see a few USB-C docks out there, but of course none have been designed for the Pixel (not to say they won't work). For those that do use a dock and will want one for the Pixel, I'm interested to see what people will choose to use or if any manufacturer will make a dock for the Pixel.
Making this thread for discussion and reviews/tests of any docks once we receive our phones. Cheers!
I need one too

Did that work okay for the Pixel? Seems like an unobtrusive dock, but I'm wondering if the back supports the Pixel or if it'll just be held up by the USB-C connector (clearly not ideal).

The little back piece actually holds it up, I think it would be better if it was a little higher but it did work.
UNBELIEVABLE (read: very believable) that there is a not a SINGLE dock out there that supports USB C fast charging and actually has the proper resistor as to not damage your phone (according to the hardware approved by Benson and Nathan K at Google).
For me, fast charging was a mediocre substitute for wireless charging and now I have neither in a dock.

It's cheap but seems to be made pretty well, i tried it with my lg g5, seems to work well. It has an attached usb cable but deos not come with a ac adapter, which is good because you can use a good quick charge block with it.

FYI guys this is *probably* (a lot of these docks are just rebranded, the specific link he reviewed is no longer there, but the dock looks the same) the DEMOM dock Benson reviewed here. Use at your own risk.

There's no way that'll provide quick charging. The other end of the cable is USB Type-A which cannot support the Pixel's fastest charging (18W Power Delivery) nor can it even support the Nexus 6P's fast charging (which is slower than the Pixel's).
Anyone try the https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/ ? It seems to take type c input as well.
That Seidio looks nice, I might pick one up as I'm a sucker for docks...
-Edit- just ordered one, I'll follow up next week when I get to use it.
Found an Apple style dock
I prefer this for about $6. You can't put the phone vertical, but its simple, stable and will accommodate cases. It folds easily into a pocketable piece and it won't over stress your USB C connector on your phone.

I got a couple of these and they're nice. I use my stock charger to plug into the dock. Drop the phone straight downward onto the connector then it hinges on a spring when you lean the phone back. It's a pretty stable dock if you need/want one. I'm using it with a diztronic TPU case and it could take larger too.
I bought this one

How would the Seidio do with a naked phone? I don't use a case, just a skin and wet-apply screen protector. I'd really love to find a good dock that's USBC on both ends, but don't want to stress the connector.
TIA.

It should work fine. Well, even with my slim tpu the phone really rests on the connector, but I'm not worried about damage. It's a stable dock and I like it as it's straight USB-C.

Offical 3.5mm headphone dongle replacements.

Any place to get these in America? I can't find them anywhere. The ones they sell on Amazon I don't know if they would even work?

Apple sells them now since the iPad pro uses usbc and has no headphone jack. It's only 10 bucks and they usually sell quality products.

Absolutely the brand new one from Apple:

I see the OTG,but,not the 3.5mm adapter,at least on the US site.
I bought mine from Monoprice. Not sure how well they work yet but I'll find out in a couple days.
I have this one works with my Nexus 6p but will it work with the OnePlus 6t
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DXP213B/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also will this one work too.

I plan on getting dongles for all my headphones too bad in the US store they don't even sell the official ones.

Not if you live in the US after 7 dollar shipping you are looking at 16.94 when its all said and done from Oneplus. Apple free shipping and tax came out to 9.64 for me. Hopefully apple ones work the same. Will report back.

Thanks for the link! Can you achieve full volume with these like the one it came with from Oneplus? I got the apple adapter and could only get them to work with 3.5 apple earbuds and the volume was about half of what it should be.

So you wouldn't recommend getting the Apple adapter then ?

I would not recommend the apple ones personally. After further testing I was able to get them to work with the Kingston HyperX Clound II headphones by plugging the adapter into the phone first and then headphones into the adapter. The biggest problem with the apple varient is the throughput. I was only able to get approximatly 60% of the volume at max compared to the official oneplus adapter. Which is a no go for me. Might have to bit the bullet and get another one from oneplus for 17 after shipping if the ebay ones dont function at full volume like the official ones.

I bought one of these, the difference in volume is noticable (the Oneplus adapter is louder).

it does, but you have to plug it in with the "seam" down.

I just got these 3 adapters from Fry's electronics, and they all work perfectly. No degraded sound quality or glitches.
Only thing I didn't test was whether or not I can transfer data through the dongle that simultaneously charges and allows headphones.
