So, I have this dock which is for a Samsung Infuse that I actually use for charging my LG Nexus 4. Works great for the Nexus 4. Well, I put my brand new Oppo Find 5 in there and it fits great except that the micro USB port is centered in the middle of the dock which lines up great for my N4, but obviously not my Oppo Find 5 since the micro USB is offset to the right on the Oppo. The dock also has an Audio out port which doesn't work with the N4 but might with the Oppo.
Some creative person, who is handier with tools than I, could probably move the USB jack on the dock and use it for the Find 5. Just a thought.
I doubt Oppo will release their own dock but I would buy one if they did!
Anyway, just an idea. Here are some pics and a link for the dock.
Samsung Infuse dock
looks great indeed, but it would be very hard to change the usb port.
Let's hope a company will make one for our find 5

It doesn't appear that it would be that difficult. Someone with a Dremel and some skills might be able to do it. Heck, I am thinking of ordering another one and playing around with it. They are cheap.
But I too hope someone will release a dock for our F5.
I just recently discovered 3D printers.. it be cool just to design and make one! ...but the printers are like 8g's

Can we use the Dock from the HTC one?

It looks as if the usb connector is in the wrong orientation.
This one would probably work for the Oppo in portrait mode even though it is intended for mounting the phone in landscape mode.

The touchstone is a QI standard inductive charger so it should work right?
This is what the general consensus is, but won't know for sure until we get one. I ordered a couple of them for 5 bucks just in case.

I think it should work, the problem however will be that the Phone won't stay on the touchstone, because the Nexus 4 doesn't seem to have magnets in the back of the device (That beeing said it shouldn't be too hard to mod the touchstone).
It seems like the official Dock uses rubber to make the phone stay in position.

Verge video stated that it does indeed have magnets both in the phone and the charger. The rubber? surface is simply to keep it from scratching.

This is what I had read too. That is does have magnets. Never used a palm pre or anything like this with wireless charging other than my tooth brush. I wonder how strong it is? Like will I notice there is a magnet holding the phone to the wireless dock when I pick it up?

looks like its strong enough to hold it up in the car if its placed upside down you can google pictures of it inside a car. i can link photos yet
That's cool. I didn't think about the magnets being strong enough to hold up in car. Let's hope so. Like this picture.

It has been confirmed by Androidcentral's Admin that Touchstone will NOT work on Nexus 4.
It's pretty cool. I hate Samsung's attempts to milk what few Galaxy Nexus users there were by coming up with a different (and super expensive) dock for every possible situation they could think of, instead of making one flexible dock.
Also, why are you buying Touchstones? We don't even know how much the ball costs yet.

People were buying Touchstone docks because they're like $5 and if it turned out they would work, they were afraid the cost would jump up.
And yeah, we DO know how much the ball will cost. $50-55.

It would've been hilarious if the charging portion of the Touchstone worked, but the magnet was flipped so it repelled the Nexus 4.

I bet the coil in the touchstone can be reversed. Still doesn't guarantee it will charge.
Will NOT Work!
I had a GS3 International and got the verizon inductive charging back for it. Worked flawlessly with all Qi compatible transmitter pads like the Energizer ones. However, the Palm Touchstone is NOT Qi compatible. Hence its a no go for the Nexus 4.
I am very interested in the Fatboy pillows though. Are they out for sale yet? The colors are quite interesting compared to the plain black orb from Google.
Confirmed by android central. palm will not work with nexus 4. Hopefully google sells one for less than 20 bucks.!

No, you THINK you know. Until you can provide a link with official pricing details, it's speculation just like everything else. Googles been putting "break-even" prices on all its newest devices, who's to say they won't surprise with a cheaper dock solution too?
The link to the definitive android central "no".
Does anyone know if the Pro-Fit SII/SIII car dock would work with the Nexus 4? Looks like it could, but I am not sure since I don't have an SIIi to compare with. It also has micro USB charging capabilities. Here is the link:
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/galaxy.html.
I already have the VSM installed in my truck
It will probably work just fine. The Nexus 4 is just slightly smaller than the S3, so if anything you might need to put a case on it to give it the added thickness to fit snugly.

or, maybe the bumper would work to add more thickness.
Cool, I may just have to order one. I wish LG would come out with an official N4 car dock that automatically launched car mode like my Atrix 4G does, But there are apps that can do that as well.
The Galaxy S3 is actually slightly thinner than the Nexus 4, but slightly wider. So I would be surprised if this fit very well. Personally, I'd wait for something that includes wireless charging if you're going to spend $40+ on a dock.
Been looking for something like this for quite sometime but couldn't find it anywhere, hence posting here.

http://www.mophie.com/mophie-juice-pack-air-iPhone-4-4S-battery-case-p/1145_jpa-ip4-blk.htm
Any idea where can I find one for N4?
I've been thinking the same thing myself. My only concern is that as the iPhone is so widely available that the accessories will be made for it, but will a company make accessories for a platform with such a wide range of devices?
These r available for Samsung phones too, since they r popular as well. But then again, so is N4.. I just hope we get such a case. I used to carry one with 4s and it was really very handy, compared to portable battery packs.
Charging Case
I have never seen a case like this before. I have been waiting for a hardback card carrying case. But if something like this became available I would defiantly get this instead.
I liked the rugged protection of the PRO case and how they redirect the speaker to the front of the phone. So annoying holding your hand against the back of your phone to try and hear things better
These types of cases are notorious for breaking your USB port in your phone. However, I'd LOVE to have a Qi version of one of these things. Then it shouldn't add a significant amount of height to your phone, mostly just thickness as expected.
I have used such a case for 4s for over a year.. I surely stopped working after that but it was for $ 20 only so u cannot complain really.

Hi-
We've recently added the USB power out port on selected versions of our chargers - primarily the thinner lighter versions. You can charge any devices up to 2A. The Nexus version we've made in a 1250 & 2500mah slim (15mm) version - besides the standard 5000mah version which is 21mm thick. The thinner versions are much lighter as well - less than 1/2 the weight.
What are you looking for in terms of features/price?
Here are the Nexus 4 versions:
custompowersolar.com - produtcs - LG
We make the cases using 3D printing, so can be easily customized. You can get a full color image printed on the case with our Sculpteo partner. Devlivery time is typically 5-10 days depending on options - many units we have in stock.
We also make versions for iphone5 in 1500mah and 5000mah, Galaxy S3, HTC DNA, iphone 4/4s, iPad and iPad Mini.
All models also can be purchased with a camera/tripod mount - 1/4-20 screw holes on the side & bottom for easy attachment to a tripod.
The X Bracket allows you to mount any smartphone to a tripod - we also have a ball swivel, bike mount, and hang glider mount.
If you have something special you want, contact us - we're having too much fun designing and building products with 3D printers.
Any one have experience with these cases I'm thinking about trying one

I've seen lot's of great recommendations for Car Docks for the Nexus 4 without the bumper, and even then most of them don't have USB to dock and go, so I wanted to ask, does anyone know of a car dock that (like the cheap infuse dock) has the USB plug and also fits the Nexus 4 with the bumper on?
Thanks!
Brodit/Proclip have a dock for Nexus 4 with official bumper. It's pricey, but I use it and it's perfect.

Seconded. It's perfect. I actually got a an adjustable one which allows to me to use different bumpers or go naked and still have a secure hold. Strongly recommended.
Hello,
I'm using that one. That's a very flexible car dock to use different phones in diffterent cars. I used the HTC HD2 (naked and also with bumper), HTC Desire HD (naked and also with bumper), Galaxy Nexus (incl. flip case) and the Nexus 4 (naked and Ringke Fusion case) in that car dock. I'm really satisfied using that car dock for 2 years now.
Maybe this one is similar and the Nexus 4 incl. bumper should fit.

This doesn't have the USB as part of it but it's a great solution to those of us that change phones and/or cases every now and then. I've used it so far with my Vibe, Sensation, GS3, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 all with and without cases. It's adjustable but looks fantastic even if it is overly priced. Great permanent solution IMHO.

Sorry, the one I'm using doesn't have integrated USB. Only the models strictly built for the Nexus 4 have a dock.
This is what I have: http://www.proclipusa.com/store/pro...le-holder-for-devices-with-a-case-246824.aspx
It has a range of 6mm - 10mm depth. The phone's depth is 9.1mm. With my Poetic Borderline Bumper Case I measured 11mm, however it still fits perfectly.
This is with the integrated dock, but only works with the N4 + OEM Bumper: http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512488-19162.aspx
Good luck on your hunt!

I'm looking for something like this and it looks nice.
Thank you
I have the Kropsson Aero but not the N800, which has integrated usb charging and other ports as well as a led lighting IIRC. A tad expensive and not portable like the Airframe. Also a little more expensive but well built. It ships from Korea, it took 3 weeks for my item to come in from there to the USA. Just food for thought.
I initially dismissed it because based on the size, it may not fit. But if it did fit, there wouldn't be a pass through for the USB on the bottom claw. But looking at the pics, there seems to be an opening. Maybe whoever wants to buy one, email the seller to ensure it can fit?

I'm reading all the info about the new press release and nobody is mentioning the pressure sensitive display.
I guess that was a bad rumor?
Also not sure about the whole no USB-C thing. I'm sorta glad I don't have to swap out all my cables at the house (as many of them still use micro-usb) but I was looking forward to the faster charging.
If I didn't wanna get rid of my Note Edge so bad, I'd just wait for the Note 6. I guess we have no ETA on that one huh?
also is the fingerprint reader a swipe gesture, or just put it on the button and that's it? (apple like) I think S6 is like this, but I'm not sure...
Would be nice if it was like the Nexus 6P that just goes on when it gets the right fingerprint.

It has QuickCharge over MicroUSB, so you still have fast charging. USB Type C just used a different method of rapid charging. I already have a 6P so I bought a bunch of new Type C accessories, but it's still really early on, I don't mind Samsung waiting until Type C is more commonplace.
Was wondering the same about pressure sensitivity

If it had pressure sensitivity it would have been featured yesterday at the reveal so it probably was just a false rumor.
