I'm using the passive HTC HD2 cradle. It's fits perfect at the bottom but a little bit of movement at the top where the phone is thinner. It's not loose enough it rattles or moves when you touch the screen. Volume and power buttons aren't blocked.

Might be easier and cheaper to find a used or new HD2 holder.

There may even be enough space to add a very thin skin, which is what I'll add if I can find a nice one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AndyM:
Thanks will look into it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] turt:
Great to know, I currently have a HD2 with Brodit passive holder, and will receive my Galaxy S II tomorrow :D

I'll see if it's the same for me too...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] travisb:
I have an adjustable iPhone 3GS passive Brodit mount (it expands to use with gel type cases). I have a cheapo gel case on my SGII and it works fine, solid as a rock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] turt:
Okay so here's what I've done: on each side of my passive holder, I've put a few centimeters of black adhesive tape. It's the kind of heavy one, which you can buy in a hardware store...

Now the Galaxy S 2 is completely stable in a HD2 Brodit passive holder! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mujja:
I gave mine to a friend for free when I sold my first 3GS. Later when I bought another 3GS I tried to get it back. I think i'm going to have to ask again now :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mujja:
Nice tip there. However, I might pick up one the offical cases from P4U this week. It looks like there may be enough room for the phone to fit the holder with the case on.

Maybe he's been mistaken with the original "Galaxy S"?

I've pre-ordered from dsldevelopments as usual, claims to be in stock in 10 days or so...

Okay thanks for the information. However it's not in stock, it says:

"Please note: This product is expected to be in stock in the UK week commencing 30th May and is available on Pre-order basis. Demand will be very high, order yours today to secure this item."

So it is in line with what dsldevelopments have told me ;)

Just to let you know, on Friday dsldevelopments has shipped my brodit passive holder, I should get it this week :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] andrek64:
I installed my Brodit SII-holder last Saturday. Fits perfectly. I had it pre-ordered to be one of the first to have it ;)

I have the passive one, I use separate wires for power-in and audio-out.

I have decided to use it with a Kuda console, because that looks better in my car.

Now all I need to do is fill my SD-card with audio and I can enjoy my car-rides even better :D:D

Thanks.

I got my Brodit active holder yesterday (BR512255)

It fits the phone pretty well, it's easy to insert or remove the phone from the holder while it's still tight enough not to vibrate while driving (Civic Type-R EP3 ;))

If you use a phone cover, even a very thin one, it wont fit into the holder though.

It only offers charging, no audio/mic/USB etc connection (Unlike some Brodit holders for HTC phones)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] troffers:
I have just had the passive one delivered (The active one was waaaaay more expensive so I ordered an official GS2 car charger for £8 - cheap option FTW) and mine is adjustable so it will fit with a case. I didn't realise it was like that when ordered but it's a nice bonus.

I also ordered the 'move clip' so I don't have to have the holder on show all the time - I can slip it in and out at will.

When I'm all set up I'll post some pics :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] storm2k5:
The passive holder is available for quite some time, but I don't like to connect and disconnect the charging cable manually each time I insert or remove the phone. But yeah, the price you pay for the "active" part is pretty high - but then Brodit was always known for being high priced....but all in all they offer the best system for car phone holders - most cars supported, most phones supported, lots of mounting options and they are pretty fast with products for new phones etc.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dinoxus:
Charging problem

Hello, I have Brodit active holder for my Galaxy SII and it seems that there is big problem to charge battery of phone. When I am using Sygic or Copilot navigation it loose energy, when I am using just google maps or google navigation it charge very slowly or stay on the same. I have same problem with Stock ROM and also Litening ROM. Do you have the same problem, or there is some problem with the phone? In the same car I use Dell Streak and it charge without problem, so Car sould be OK. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] troffers:
Here is my passive holder with the move clip. It's specifically for the gs2 and was adjustable out of the box so I can leave a case on. Handy. Fitted in after a bit of jostling, and is looking good so far :-)

I can highly recommend it

[Galaxy S II Accessories] zenkinz:
I love brodit design it makes very clean design unlike those bulky design one. I actually bought one for my old hp ipaq hw6515 which was wide. Since then I have been using the same holder for my subsequent phones (from htc HD/hd2/dhd, Samsung sgs/sgs2, xperia arc), with padding at each side of the holder if the phone is too small.

Now I found an even better way to build the "adapter" for my old brodit, by cutting out my old dhd silicon casing and slotting it into the holder if the phone is slimmer.

Hope someone can help with this question.

Every time i save a vcard with contact info it automatically saves the card as a phone contact. I would like to be able to save all my contacts automatically as Google contacts. I really don’t care if I don’t have the option for sim or phone contacts as never use them and don’t think I ever will.

Hey guys, new to the site and I wanted to contribute. So, I made a video on flashing your old radio to the new 1.87 radio. This is how 'I' did it. There are disclaimers everywhere (in the video and in the description of the youtube channel) about how this has not worked for everyone.

Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTXSdgJBuoo

Props to the Dev who made this happen. This is just a video better explaining how to do it. Please remember this is my way of doing it. There are two ways that I know of, and this is my way. Go to the Atrix Android Development Page and then find the Enable HUSPA thread to learn more about this process and all that your getting yourself into. I think that you should read through the thread in order to better understand what the heck your doing. This should allow for higher download speeds and higher upload speeds (depending on your area and service).

Thanks guys, donations are beautiful :)

DPI -- dots/pixels per inch

HDPI -- high dots per inch (similarly low and medium for ldpi and mdpi)

-- two displays with same resolution and different screen sizes have different DPI's.

WILDFIRE (LDPI):

dpi = 120 dots per inch

screen size = 3.2 inch diagnol = 2 inch vertical x 2.66 inch horizontal

120 x 2 = 240 (vertical resolution)

120 x 2.66 = 320 (horizontal resolution)........ CHEERS :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Hi! I got my shiny new Desire HD yesterday (upgraded from an iphone) and by god do I love it, just perfect for me.

Although with it comes a lot of.. junk that I simply do not need (scrolling through a good 30 apps just to get to my most used), plus I heard that 2.3 (Specifically Cyanogenmod 7) brings with it better battery, better performance and with it being rooted, more features.

I'm looking to root it as soon as possible before I start putting a lot of things on it, rather than do a lot with it now and then have to do it again a couple months down the road.

My main question is, I love htcsense.com and I love the extra features it gives me, especially being able to track the phone, gives me much needed peace of mind, if I root to a 2.3 ROM (probably cm7) will htcsense.com no longer work?

Thankyou for any/all replies, oh and a little quickie at the end, I'm planning to go with cm7 because it seems the most basic and customizable for my needs, and battery life is a huge plus for me as I'm planning to use this beauty in and around college, is cm7 a good idea?

Thank you and have a great day.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
If that HTC feature relies on having the app on the phone then it wont work as CM7 is not a Sense ROM and contains no sense applications.

Neither do I believe simply installing the apk, if possible, would work.

Be nice to be wrong though.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Ahh, so in short, no?

Fair enough, is there a way to install the part needed for it to work after rooting it with cm7?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Probably not. Again, hope I'm wrong because it is a great utility that would otherwise cost you (Wavesecure app for example and I believe one of the anti-virus apps provides same functionality).

If anyone has the apk I'd happily try it but IIRC the apps rely on the Sense framework.

Bear with me, just checking this out.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Confirmed. Without the apk installed the phone can't communicate with the HTC servers.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henipah:
Hi there,

i've recently rooted my Desire HD (and upgraded to 2.3.3) & I can tell you that HTCsense still works. No idea about if it still works on non-sense roms such as CM7 or not.

I've been using RCMix and Android Revolution roms in the past week & both of them are a lot better than the stock Froyo that my phone came with though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Did a search and found an apk but it is confirmed that it will not run on AOSP ROMs such as Cyanogenmod.

The only option you have would be to run a Sense based ROM then install something like ADW.Launcher which has categorised app drawer (meaning you can choose what apps appear).

Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Thankyou for the replies you've really helped.

Does sense rom mean, a rom that has HTC sense enabled? I assume it does.

Also, if I want to get 2.3+ android with sense so I can use the htcsense.com service, which rom would be best to root too? I've only ever heard of cm7, that's about it.

Thanks again!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Coredroid is a sense ROM. Pretty good too. If your main concern is tracking your phone, why don't you try Lookout from the marketplace. its free and is also a very good virus checker too!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Does it improve the battery life at all?

Oh also, is it easy to change back to the original ROM that came with the phone in-case of any warranty issues? Coredroid just doesn't look as.. polished as cyanogen, I could be completely wrong though.

If so, I'll root it today! Love the community by the way, I can't say anything bad about the iPhone community really, although they seem to care a lot less.

Does rooting to an Android 2.3 ROM bring everything that normal Android 2.3 brings and then depending on the ROM, special things? So it doesn't matter what ROM I get that's 2.3 they'll all have 2.3 Android features?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Do a backup in Tom manager in case you want to go back to your previous rom. Coredroid is a very fast rom IMO, but its dependent on how you use it much like any other rom really.

batery life is better than stock but again you will need to be mindful of gps and wifi etc. An awesome gingerbread kernel to improve battery life does not yet exist.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Fantastic, I'll give CoreDroid a try then, thankyou for your help, you've been very useful and informative.

One last thing before I begin the process, what is Tom manager? I did a quick google search and a look into the market but found nothing, did you mean Rom manager?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
my bad. I have auto correction on. I meant ROM manager.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Ahh, I got it and I'm trying to backup my current ROM but I need to install "clockwordmod recovery" and whenever I try I get a "An error occurred while attempting to run privilged commands!" which is a shame.

Oh, and is there an up-to-date guide on how to root? Pardon my ignorance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You need root first.

There's several "how to's" in the development forum. More information than we could put here (or should).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Sorry, I'm being incredibly silly, I keep getting ROM's and rooting mixed up, I'm in the process of rooting it now then I'll install a ROM, I haven't decided which yet but I might.. shop around, sorta speak.

Thanks for the help guys, take care.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Because sense apps aren't running in background, Cyanogen should be less stressful on the battery. However stock roms are usually not developed to maximize battery life in the same way custom roms are (afterall, battery life is a bugbear for developers too!). With this in mind, Coredroid even with sense is still better on your battery life than stock sense. Its all dependent on how you use it though (turn off GPS and wifi when no longer required etc..). Intensive use will naturally drain your battery sooner than conservative use. If you find battery life a pain with any rom, you could try juice defender free to automatically regulate consumption of battery.

Best advice, try a number of mods every week or so, and settle on one you like once you've experienced them. You souls also download battery calibrator from market and use after every flash to help you with the battery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
After a little soulsearching I'm going to give RCMixHD a try, it seems very popular which is usually a good sign, it has sense 3.0 and 2.3.3 Android so it's practically perfect.

The only thing I'm puzzled by now is "radios" I've worked out that they determine call reception and 3G+HSPDA whatnots, but do I actually need a new one before/after flashing to a new ROM? There seems to be a lot of radios out there and I have no clue which to go with and what they do.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
Oh, also, does overclocking your phone as you have done have a huge impact on the battery life? I assume it has atleast some impact.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Only certain roms currently support overclocking, with some having the ability only after a kernel flash. CM7.0.2 however comes with ability without need to install anything else. You will need SetCPU to overclock and select a governor to regulate how power is maintained. You need to set minimum frequency when phone is idle etc.. It's easier than it sounds but do read into the overclocking threads for dhd we have here if in any doubt.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
You do not need to change your radio unless you receive poor or worse reception than before the flash. Then its a matter of trial and error of finding the right one for you. Not necessarily more intensive on battery life unless the Max frequency is on most times (watch out for overheating etc as this effects overall performance and lifespan of phone).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
I'm trying cyanogen7 now and I must say, much better than the senseUI, wasn't a fan of that before but the stock 2.3 looks much better, plus the ability to use it in portrait on the home and other screens is very much appreciated with the Desire HD's large (very sexy) screen.

Might be sticking with this one!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
G1 okay phone, easy to mod. if you like tinkering.

G1 is an okay phone. My partner at work uses a Blackberry, he can't hear the person at the other end without an ear piece, I don't have that issue on my G1.

I do NOT love my G1, it's bulky/heavy and I don't feel the build quality is as good as some of the other phones. The Speaker is on the back of the phone, opposite from the display - seriously who does that? Samsung for example always puts the speaker above the main screen.

The Keyboard has very small keys but it IS a 5 row keyboard, you can get good with some practice, but some of the newer phones, ex: T-Mobile Sidekick 4G has a keyboard/CPU/display that I almost can't believe how good it is, however they have the dumbest overlay I've ever seen, haha, can't have it all I guess.

The G1 is reliable, it's just not very pretty, if it's cheap, it's a deal.
