Car Dock for the new evo

[rfs830]

Maybe I missed this but did sprint show off the new car dock for this phone? I saw the video for the one for the one x but not sprints version.

I looks around for this but could not see it.

Anyone have any new info on this?

Thanks in advance.

No info as of yet. THe Sprint design omits the contacts on the outside of the phone, so it will have to be a plug in type

ah ok. Well as long as we still get the bt to aux im ok with that.

AFAIK that should work just fine.

I guess I just need to wait till the phone is released. Im can use my gold upgrade till aug so I have time to see how this phone will turn out.

I can only assume it will be just like the car dock for the Evo 3D which I have and do like a lot. The connectors would have been really nice though

From what I saw it doesn't look like the One X uses the exposed pin connectors for it's car dock. Looked like it plugs into the USB as you slide it into the dock. If I'm correct there's no reason that the EVO 4G LTE couldn't do the same.

The One X car dock that they showed does just have a regular connector. Not quite sure why though. What's the point of those contacts if you're not going g to use them. Maybe it will be changed before release. The media dock does use the contacts

Some people already have the car dock in Europe and it doesn't use the contacts. Maybe the US one will or maybe they're only for desktop docks? Who knows but it doesn't matter to the Sprint version since it doesn't have the contacts anyway.

If I can remember correctly the nexus one only used it for the dock not the car dock. I'm a wishful thinker so hoping that the evo 4g lte will be able to be docked and charged through the metal back. Haha we can only wish

Yeah, I can't believe 3 years after the Pre we still don't have inductive charging. I really miss my touchstones.

The One X desktop dock does use the pins. It also has speakers so that may be another reason for the pins. HTC CR S650 Desktop Cradle With Speakers for HTC One X

I'll just use the same universal dock that I've been using for my Evo and Evo 3D.

I'm pretty sure the Nexus One dock uses the three pin connection. I'll have to check when I head out to my car for lunch. It works really well. With the Evo 4G LTE not having the connectors at all any dock made that wants to connect to the phone will need to use the usb port, which is fine as long as the car dock has that feature. The crappy car dock available for the Galaxy Nexus is pretty much the only reason I didn't run out and buy it no questions ask before I saw the info on the Evo 4G LTE/One X.

I'm really hoping that the car dock does use the USB. I'll be a little annoyed if I wait for it and it doesn't, when I can go to AT&T today and buy a One X.

iGrip made the car for the Evo 3D and it works great. I cant them not having one for the Evo 4G LTE

Anyone know if the USB port is in the same spot on the EVO as it is the One X? The One X is only 1mm wider than the EVO, so in the case of the EVO not getting a good car dock we could potentially use the One X's dock.

Oh, and from my previous post. The Nexus One definitely uses the pins on the car dock.

I ordered the AT&T one x car dock from AT&T, thinking it would include the bluetooth audio dongle that was discussed in the various MWC videos. After more research and some unboxing videos I found, it apparently does not include it, and it's a separate accessory that is not available yet. I'm going to return it to my local AT&T store once I get it, but I'll test it first to see if it fits the E4GLTE.

From what I can tell, the car dock that's currently available for the one X does not have or use the pins on the one X. Instead there's an integrated wire clipped to the dock for the usb port. In one of the MWC videos, the HTC rep does mention that the pin dock will be coming later and a regular dock will be available at launch.

i think i read somewhere that the car dongle will come to sprint evo. don't remember where i read it.

that iGrip dock for the EVO 3D sucks balls.....
My girlfriend bought one thinking it would work as well as my HTC car dock and it's just nowhere near as good as the HTC dock..
