The main differences is that icons on the home screen does not turn horizontally and you can not have a separate Docking App for home and car. In newer handsets, like the S4 and Note II Samsung have combined the "car-dock" and the "home-dock" mode into one, referred to as "DockMode" only. A separate "home dock" App can be used when "docking" the S3 in the home or office environment.

Hello, we here at iBOLT have been working on the DockMode issues for a long time. Good luck and please post if you find there is a magnetic or other potential trigger. I paid $19.99 but it seems it is popular because they have raised the price to $23.99. On a related note if you are looking to buy a new one, the one I purchased is pretty cool, has an led lit stylus port, and with an auxilary extender attached always enters dock mode. It seems that this dock has a switch to mimic this discrete feedback.īut without an audio jack or such a switch I think you are SOL. Now after stumbling across this thread between my experience and reading skamblr's comment I am inclined to believe that the phone is designed to have some type of discrete electrical return that, when present, triggers the phone into dock mode. I went in search like you to discover what per se was the triigger or any other possible triggers to no avail. So the other day just for S & G, while my S4 was docked, I plugged into the audio jack and BAM! my phone switched to dock mode. While my docking station had an audio and micro usb jack, the audio jack seemed to do nothing with my S3. I purchase it for my S3 before I bricked it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have the bolse docking station in two rooms in my house and at my office.
