Dock is when you dock the phone in a dock. Charging is when you charge the phone via wireless or usb cable. Clues in the name really
Errr the ones that come up in the Google search "nexus 5 docks"
Have a look In the accessories forum, there may be some comparisons there or something. Why do you want a dock?
I did google search, just trying to understand the technical side. For example this:

Is this considered a dock? or just charging?
I want a dock so that I can set up tasker profile for different cases, just like day dream, to show when is docked, but not show when its charging.

So the dock is actually triggered by something in the usb pins.
Pardon my noobness because I have never had a phone that I can trigger the "dock" mode before.
Recently I read about this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/create-your-own-magnetic-dock-for-the-google-nexus-5/
So at first I thought there's something about the hidden magnets that triggers the dock mode, but couldn't find more information about it. Seems like now its just to hold the phone in place and don't do anything.
So I assume the Philips Fidelio also should not trigger this?

I've been reading about this a bit and it looks like the OS probably still has "dock support", but out of the box the phone has no way to trigger it.
Supposedly if you runfrom the terminal (or `adb shell`) you'll make the phone think it's hooked up to a car dock. (I think state "0" is no dock, and "1" is desk dock)Code:am broadcast -a android.intent.action.DOCK_EVENT --ei android.intent.extra.DOCK_STATE 2
I plan to play with it today. If it works, it should be possible to automate it or make a home-screen shortcut with Script Manager or similar. I guess you could probably also trigger it from an NFC tag? Not sure how those work, still reading.
That would be great if this works via NFC. I bought my wife a Nex5 to replace her old (Don't laugh) Droid3, but the dock for that gave her a nice alarm clock when docked. I've kluged in similar functionality via tasker, a NFC tag on the Tylt Vu, and settings in the clock app, but it would be great to do this in a more "native" fashion.

Yeah this is what I thought. Have Day Dream comes up with Clock only when Docked, not Charging. Seems it doesn't work.
