Thanks for the information. Yes, I was hoping to "charge" and drive because, as well all well know, the battery life is horrendous.

Hopefully they come out with a T-Bolt Specific Holder then soon.... I really like their mounting system(s)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rednoved:
The Adjustable EVO Holder might work. Not positive though. You would still have a charging issue with that phone holder. Their support/sales staff is normally pretty quick about replying to emails. I would just ask them about Thunderbolt product plans.

I'm using a ProClip vehicle mount, but I am using another brand device holder. I am using a Bracketron Universal Holder. The sides adjust up and down, so I can still access the charging port and volume keys. The universal holders aren't the prettiest, but it gets the job done. If ProClip releases a holder that works with the TB with a case, I might consider it. It is nice having a holder that fits more than one phone/device though.

Here is a couple pictures of my setup. I just snapped the last two pictures. Didn't realize they were so blurry.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] usafle:
Thanks for the pictures.

I took the liberty of shooting off an Email to proclip usa customer support and this is the reply I got concerning a mount for our beloved T-Bolt:

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders for the Thunderbolt. The new holders will be available early the week of April 25. You will be notified by email as soon as we have them in stock.

We also purchased an extended battery to see if we can accommodate this as well.

Best Regards,

If it works with the extended. I will be buying pro clip for sure. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
As will I. I have been a consumer of the ProClips USA mounts dating back to my old AT&T Tilt, and most recently my 1st generation Motorola Droid. I had contacted them on the day that I had picked up my TB, and had urged them to concentrate on a mount that would accommodate the extended life battery (as a larger than average number of TB owners will be going with the larger batteries, and HTC's current automotive mount will not work with them).

This is something that I will have ordered on the day that the sku hits their web-site!

[Thunderbolt Accessories] usafle:
If you are all interested, as soon as I get an Email from them saying it's ready to go, I will post on here to keep you all updated?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] eleazar123:
Glad to see they are making one for our Tbolts!

I have been using ProClip mounts for the past 3+ years and I love them. I could never use the one made for the Fascinate because I used a case on it (so I used the universal mount). My thunderbolt is naked, so I will definitely be picking up the charging mount. :D

Only one more week!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
Please
[Thunderbolt Accessories] usafle:
They are out!

Got the email earlier today and ordered the holder with cigarette charger. I've used proclip holders before and they're great.

Car Dock Mode??

I love having phone mounts, one reason I left the Fascinate was disappointment in Samsung selling accessories that had 2.2 required audio ports, and waiting so dang long to release official 2.2.

In my Applications list, I have the app "Car Panel", which launches the standard HTC car dock application. I can launch from here, but have no link to it whatsoever anywhere.

So, theb big question is, does the proclip mount launch Car Panel when inserted? I've heard good things about their products, but this is critical in my decision making.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ikon8:
No, the app won't launch automatically. Are you rooted? You should install Google's Car Home app which is a lot better than HTC's Car Panel app.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ikon8:
The Tilt-Swivel Holder with Cigarette Adapter I ordered came today and I got it installed.

Build quality is great as always, thick sturdy plastic.

It fits the extended battery if you have one, it has cutouts for the bottom mic, camera and flash, and headphone jack.

The cigarette adapter outputs 1A so it has enough power for Navigation.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] marcocb8:
Nice, mine should be here in a few days, i am going to mount it on my vent, i like it a bit higher so its easier to see when using the navigation.

i have the verizon mount right now but i am pretty sure this one will be much better.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
battery discharging when in ProClip powered mount?

I may need some help - I have been a longtime user of ProClip products, but this is my first "hard-wired" mount.

I place my order on the day that it became available, and received it the next day (It's nice to live within 90 miles of their HQ). It was installed within minutes, with power connected directly to my 2002 Nissan Xterra's fusebox. Prior to wiring power, I had my volt meter out, and tested my connection point, which was supplying between 12 and 12.5 volts DC. I did not think to test amperage, as I don't think that there would be varying amp being output from the fusebox (am I wrong?).

Anyway - two days in a row, driving from my home to work with the phone seated in the powered mount -charging indicated in the display. I'm running Navigation, with iHeartRadio streaming a local station. Battery level starts out at 98%, and is at 90% by the time I reach my parking spot some 12-15 miles away. Now, before people tell me that I am running too many applications, let me assure you, that I have also tested with running only Google's navigation app, with nearly identical results. In fact I have driven with no applications running, and my home screen as the only thing showing with the same results.

When in my vehicle, I have BT enabled for my hands-free gateway, as well as wifi (for increased GPS accuracy). There is also the few services running, but none of these have changed much since installing the ProClip mount.

Is there any way of testing amperage coming out of the ProClip voltage regulator module? I'm out of ideas as to what could be causing the Thunderbolt to discharge, or rather the ProClip to not be able to stay ahead of the discharge.

This is unacceptable as I have an upcoming family road trip, on which I will be running GPS and streaming music. I expect my battery will be depleted mid way to the destination.

Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
While it's plugged into the dock and charging, check what kind of charger it thinks is present (home/settings/phone/battery). If it says "Charging (USB)," the charger doesn't follow the USB specs, and the phone won't draw full power from it, and will actually discharge while running typical car apps. It should say "Charging (AC)".
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rednoved:
So you are using their "fixed" installation version? That version should have a power adapter that puts out a 2 amp charge. There is an app called CurrentWidget that lets you monitor the charge. I would use that and compare it to your wall charger and other car chargers. There may be an issue with the power adapter they gave you?

What fuse are you tapping into on your fuse panel? Was it an accessory like the radio? Have you tested the voltage after the installation and with the vehicle running, and all accessories in use? It shouldn't make a difference, but you could try moving the tap to another location.

If you can't figure it out, give ProClip a call. They should be able to help you out. If you buy an $80 holder that is supposed to charge, it better charge.

Good luck. If you find anything out, good or bad, please post back your findings. I am considering buying the "fixed" version.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
Thanks to both Mike and Rednoved!

I'll check that out - also wanted to alert other TB owners who may be using ProClip's powered (hard-wired) mount, to see if they are experiencing the same thing. If it is an issue for more than just myself, ProClips should be made aware of it, so they can address the issue.

Rednoved - I had installed the CurrentWidget this morning - need to check/benchmark current draw on both AC and in the vehicle running the same apps. I had checked with a co-worker (who is/was an auto mech), who informed me that if I am getting 12VDC, it shouldn't matter where I'm connected as amperage does not vary in an automobile's electrical system. I'll do some more digging tonight and over the weekend.

I also have an e-mail in to ProClipUSA (pretty much a cut & paste of my original post here).

Right now it is pretty disheartening.

Regards,

Spence
[Thunderbolt Accessories] oohPandaBear:
I have an S2000, which only has 1 mount option, by the stick shift.

It's the only extended battery mount option I have, so I'm totally getting this.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
I have their powered mount with the car charger and it charges via AC. Working fine for me. I hardwired a cigarette lighter port under my dash so I can still move the mount to another vehicle if I need to.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
He has the hard wired one. They're different.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] URPREY:
I realize this. I posted my setup as an option in case the hardwire mount really does only charge as USB. It's also cheaper.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
I'm using the Battery Monitor Widget - When seated into the hard-wired ProClip mount, it shows "AC Charging" as status in both the widget, as well as the battery status of the phone's OS. When outside of the mount, and plugged into my "Venturi" Bluetooth/FM/DC gateway, it not only maintains positive current flow, but shows as status as "USB Charging". The thing is - that via the ProClip mount - current shows in "red" (I assume to mean "negative" or "draw") between 120mA - 480mA. If I plug it into my tried and true DC adapter (A "Venturi" Bluetooth/FM gateway plugged into the cig lighter on the dash) it shows "green" with current at between 92mA and 120mA.

I made a call to ProClip this morning and have a warranty claim in with them. I asked if they can e-mail me a pin-out for the phone-side port of the power module, and am waiting to see if they can do this. I would like to measure actual voltage/current coming out of it.

I also gave them, what I believe to be a very good and common sense product suggestion. They could simplify their product line if they were only to eliminate their un-powered as well as powered versions of mounts, and create a single mount with a "pass-through" in the same way that Verizon/HTC has done with their windshield phone mount (an external female micro-usb connector on the mount, going to a male micro-usb connector on the inside of the mount). This would allow them to reduce the number of SKUs for the mounts, and then make it a simple matter of creating SKUs to include either no power cable, a 12v DC "cig lighter" to micro-USB, or a hard-wired 12v to micro-USB. ...one mount - with differing cable options! What do you think?

Regards,

Spence
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
It sounds like the Proclip adapter isn't providing any juice. The phone will show "AC charging", but a power drain (red) if that's the case.

Have you confirmed that there's actually voltage at the point you wired it to? Blown fuse (it should be fused!)?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
This was confirmed upon installation. It is currently connected to a 5A fuse marked as being for accessories. Prior to that, it had been connected directly to a hot & ground for initial testing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] SpenceJT:
Thank you for the responses, however I believe that I have discovered and solved the root cause of my issue.

In further testing, I discovered that ground connections was faulty. The connection issue was hidden to me, because the probes for my volt meter would help to complete a "solid" connection when inserted for testing. So while I saw a full 12V DC when inserting my voltmeter, the connection would become less secure when removing my test probes. There was sufficient connectivity to trigger the light on the power control module and trigger the charging indicator on my phone, but it was only being fed 9V DC which was not enough to keep up with the phone's current draw. Once I cut off and re-crimped a new connector on my ground cable, my phone began charging!

There is no problem with my hard-wired ProClip mount and I am a happy camper! Now I need to complete some minor cable management. :-)

Regards,

Jeff Spencer

Running Voodoo 4 / ext4 fs. If I upgrade to newest firmware being pushed by Sprint will it reset kernal and filesystem back to stock or just upgrade firmware?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wauterboi:
Alright, so last night I was fooling around with "Type Fresh," which you guys have probably heard of. It was released here... It's a font changer... :P

Anyway, things were going good until I tried a font named, "Joystix," which replaced quite a few of my fonts. That caused my phone to go into a crazy bootloop.

So, at this point, I do not have Clockwork Recovery. I actually have the Stock Recovery. For some strange reason, my stock recovery just takes me to a screen with a red triangle, and factory reset just shows this hard drive and a loading bar that never goes anywhere before rebooting my phone into a boot loop.

I've checked to see if ADB will work in my stock recovery, and it does, except for the fact that my phone is, "offline," which is probably not good.

Is there anyway I can get my phone to work again? I remember when I was getting bootloops and I somehow got the phone to reinstall all the correct stuff after going into the stock Volume Down+Power thing a few days ago. I don't know or remember how. Like, it was going into the whole process of giving me the choices and said, "Do you want to update?" I said yes and voila, everything is back to normal. Sadly, this isn't the case atm. :|

halp
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokechecksave:
Well I've never personally used type fresh to change fonts, I've done it in other ways. Just a thought for ya, but I would recommend that if you can get adb to recognize your device (cmd: adb devices) try booting into hboot(volume down + power), and see if it recognizes it regularly that way, from there I recommend trying a program called Droid. It's a windows program that I used when I messed up re-rooting my replacement mt4g (tip: Don't try rooting when having been awake for 26 hours for no apparent reason :p). It has a feature called Debug Console which fixed a bootloop, and constant force close that I somehow managed. I also suggest pulling your sdcard, getting a usb scard reader, and installing the stock recovery zip (Pdimg or something like that, I forget off hand).

That's all I can think of, hope it helps

Hello.

I have a problem with my phone, it turns it self off. Sometimes like 3-5 times in one day,sometimes more often.

What could this be? Is this a problem were i have to send my phone into service, ore can I fix this by my self?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
First off check the three battery pins where the battery makes contact to the phone. Make sure one is not bent or out of alinement with the others. If they are ok then try a hard reset of your HD2. Make sure to back up your contacts, calender, tasks, and such with Microsoft MY Phone or a equivalent app and move all photos and videos to your SD card. Power down your HD2 then hold both the volume up and volume down buttons down while you power your HD2 back on and when you see the gray screen appear follow the on screen instructions. If you still experience your problem you have a internal hardware issue.

Planned wireless Internet network threatens GPS

http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_16026/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=gWuxFJbq

From the AP this morning. Maybe a little OT but...

I'm wary of the claims that LightSquared's tech is going to be detrimental to GPS performance. For some reason, I feel like this is FUD from certain large Telcos who see LightSquared as a threat.

Also, note previous threads that mentioned a possible LightSquared/Sprint hookup, if Sprint fully committed to LTE.

Thoughts?

It states they must assure that it will not affect gps before they can turn on the towers. Legitimate if you ask me.

I used to work on themes for the Vibrant and I then I bought my 4G. Been working on a theme for it whenever I have time since I have been working on a website for my dad.

Here is the deal. When I unpack the Framework-res.apk and edit the Values.xml and then recompile... when I push the framework-res back to the phone it causes a bootloop... Can someone tell me if this is because of a kernel issue? I had been trying to change the text color on the bottom pop up menu.

if anyone knows pls advise. ill post up my theme to push to framework soon. thanks!

jay
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
What are you using to push?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jaynrb:
easiest for me has been to use Android Commander. You have to 1. Run Shell root from superoneclick 2. Mount the system RW 3. open android commander and push what u want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
Try this tool.

Place your modified Framework-Res.apk into the extracted folder.

Plug your Phone into your computer with USB Debug enabled and charge only selected. ( do not mount SD card )

Then click change framework.

Your phone will reboot and you should not have any bootloops

note :you must have ADB
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jaynrb:
i tried that framework updater and its still bootlooping me. I know the process to get the popup menu panel text color to change BUT when i make my edits and recompile it craps out along the way somewhere... im trying a bunch of diff things... looks like i have project on my hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jaynrb:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] piratekingdan:
Not sure if anyone has seen this done before, but the iPhone/iPad combo has pulled off a pretty cool trick for emulating a SNES.

Because I'm new, the site won't let me link, but there's an emulator that allows you to use the iPad as the display, and the iPhone replicate the controller.

I'd love to see this done with an Android tablet/phone combo interfacing via bluetooth. Even if we couldn't get perfect controller replications, a generic bluetooth control interface would be kind of cool.

I'm currently using a rooted Nook Color and a Droid Incredible. Anyone have any suggestions for how this could be done?
