Hi guys,

Just wondering, Is there an official "Dock" for the Xperia S at all? if not are sony planning on releasing one?

If they aren't are there any 3rd part docks that are pretty good? don't like leaving my phone on the desk willy nilly!

Ta! :D

Found pretty much the same one on eBay, Ordered it cus I thought why the hell not :p

Absolutely loving the phone, now just need to figure out DLNA :p
 
Looks good, but how do I stop my phone locking when charging.

But pointless having landscape view of a locked screen, that only unlocks in portrait!

I just got this and yes it does what I need but.............

As with the unlocking app is there anyway to have my home screen in landscape ?????????????
 
i've seen videos on youtube of someone using the sony livedock with xperia s, this way you can also connect mouse/keyboard or ps3 controller....it didn't look like it was really "designed" to hold the phone though, looks kinda unstable/like it's hanging off one edge?
 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK10-L...Y5UO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340293807&sr=8-1

thinking of getting this, but it only had one usb-otg port on the back.

still has the benfit of using usb-otg and usb charging at the same time?

i'm thinking of maybe getting this and a usb hub(non powered?)

will this allow me to-

1-keep the phone charged while docked
2-use usb mouse/keyboard and gamepad
3-use the hdmi port on the phone to connect to tv

if all these three can be realised with livedock+usb hub, it would mean you can basically have a portable games console/pc :)
