No forum for the Maxx?

[SJTSNIX]

I assume this is the correct forum for the Razr Maxx?  I assumed I'd see a separate forum.

Thanks

The Maxx is basically a razr with an extended battery. Everything as far as software and hardware its the same.

The HD Dock and the GPS Mount for the car that I was sold with my Maxx, do not fit, well at all.. I'll be taking everything back to the store on Saturday, and asking them to show me just how my Maxx is supposed to fit these two devices... with or without the cases....

Keep us posted please. I would like to find this out.

It's because you got the wrong One or the place that sold it to ya give you the wrong one! The One for the Razr fits the Razr Only an when you pull the Adapter on it will allow for a Case that can be put on the Razr.!!   The Dock for the Maxx is maid for it Specifically And it will Say Razr Maxx on the Box that it Comes in! Like the Picture below See! b33

That would explain why it doesn’t fit…you would think I would have been given the correct one by the Verizon Sales rep.. J

My HD Dock box doesn’t say MAXX on it either… do I sense a pattern here?

Yes i Understand sometimes there head is some wear else. When i go into the Store i pretty much now what i'm looking for why is that!  i Research the Stuff on the Web but when i really want to know i just try to find that specific item at the Store and i will Open the Box an test it make sure it Works..

As for the HD Dock as long as you have the Docking Plate that says For Droid Razr Maxx your Ok it will have a Red Sticker with those words printed on it and a Hole Cut in the Plate.. I have pictures that i have taken and are on here with my HD Station..

I have both the HD Dock an the HD Station for my Maxx

One thing i wanted to add Stephen: There should be a Sticker on the Box at the Top that should say also fits Razr Maxx if it doesn't or you don't have the Plate Don't try to put your Maxx in the Dock Because it won't be able to align itself Correctly with the Pins an you can Damage your Maxx Same thing with the Car Dock Don't Force it in there An on the Car Dock the Arm that Mounts up with Slides out you put the Maxx in the Dock an slide the Arm into the Maxx.

I want to mention also the Car Dock for the Maxx at the Verizon stores is $59.99 And all you get with this Kit is the Dock an it's parts an a Jack Cord. When i was Doing some searching after i got mine at Verizon i found that Amazon is Selling the Same Motorola Razr Maxx Car Dock But with a Charging Adapter an Additional Cord for the Same Price when i seen that i about Fell out of my Office Chair..

I may purchase the HD Station, later, if I can justify that I'll actually use it.  I like the idea of the USB ports on the HD Station. 

How do you use your two devices?

thanks,

Stephen

I like the HD Station When i got it hooked up with my Mouse an keyboard.. As for my HD Dock i like to use it because weather it's Connected to the Charger or Not my Maxx Display Changes to Landscape Mode and i can use the many features with it. On the HD Station it has to Hooked to the Charger all the Time for the Features to Work but that the Way Motorola Designed it. To be use with the Charger..b33

  I have the HD dock, it is kinda cool. When you plug it into the dock, it presents you with a number of options like Office, Bedside, My Music, and Charge only. When you have the HDMI cable plugged into a monitor, it also presents you with the options to run the WebTop desktop, or Mirror your phones display on the screen.

As far as taking the phone out of the case, I bought the OtterBox Commuter case, and I have to take it off to get it to plug into the dock, but I am going to see about modifying either the case or the dock to not have to do that. It only lacks a very little to make it work.

Keep us posted...

Well, I've had so much misinformation and receipts from the Original Verizon store, that when I attempted return/exchange items at 2nd store (closer to work than home), that the second Verizon store couldn't make heads or tales of what was going on with my accessories and the receipts that I presented to them.  They encouraged me to return to the 1st store... because apparently the correct item for my MAXX showed on my receipt, but the item I was given was not matching up.  *SIGH*

In a nutshell, yes, They sold me the incorrect Car Mount, per the picture provided by B33, it was missing the "MAXX" name on the box... I think my sales rep was a bit confused.  Sadly, you'd think they'd get that right at the store when you are purchasing all the items at one time, with a new phone.

The Vehicle Navigation Dock was returned, as my wife is not going to want to de-case her Maxx every time she get's in the car and wants to put it in that mount.  I opted for the 'generic' vent mount that is similar to a generic cigarette mounted mount that i use in my car.

Item I use:  powerMOUNT - Power Socket Mount for Portable Devices

Item purchased at the Verizon Store for a vent mount solution: Vent/Adhesive Combo Mount

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=10150&accesso...

I've not pulled the Vent/Adhesive Combo Mount out of the box yet, so no comments on it yet.

As for the HD Dock.. I got it home... it fits only with the phone out of the case. From what I see,it's not going to fit with any case on the MAXX.  I was not willing to remove my case every time I wanted to use the DOCK.

Then... I didn't see what the HD Dock was going to do for me.... what value would it provide, sure, I can put my screen on my large HD TV... buy scrolling around the screen using the Maxx's touchscreen was not a pleasant experience.  Did not see why I would want or need to do so.  (I can use the HDMI cable I purchased for use with that dock, to go directly to the TV if I ever need to...)

As for a Seperate Forum i ask for one Back when i Got my Maxx But had to Live with What we got it's ok i guess seeing that both Units are the Same except for the Battery b33
