Thought I'll let ya'll know.

EDIT: Review.

Ok, I bought this from the store. I thought I'll wait to see if there was a better one, but I was unconvinced, not to mention some of them looked this, atleast from the suggestions of one of the store reps.

The mount costs 30 dollars outright from the store. If you buy two accessories, they take 20percent off both, three or more accessories and the discount becomes 25percent.

The box comes with: a cradle, window (suction) mount, a circular sticky pad (to mount the unit over the dash), and an alcohol wipe. It sucks that this does not come with the usb car charger, which apparently was a separate purchase for me ($5 dollars on amazon instead of $30 at the store).

So far I like it. Unlike other reviews, I have found it fairly easy to mount it, even with only one hand. And once you snap the lock on the top, it stays there. Once mounted, it automatically launches the car panel app, whether the dock itself is plugged in to a power source or not.

Although its sturdy, sometimes it shakes when you hit a bump on the road. Plus, adjusting the mount itself requires two hands though, and there are a couple of knobs that you can sort of tighten the adjustment into place. These are the only two quirks that I have with this.

Overall, I like it. As someone who uses the phone navigation quite a lot, it helps to have your phone mounted instead of fumbling around while driving, which is a definite no-no.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pitchblack86:
Definitely interested in this. Missing my DX's car mount.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pitchblack86:
Did it come with the audio cable to plug into your headunit? After selling my DX I can't seem to find that cable anywhere. Plugged into headphone jack.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] what25:
No it did not come with an audio cable.

My family has 3 of these mounts. The first two had the two "teeth" in the usb connector, which made it harder to pull the TB out. But the last one was bought more recently and it's missing the teeth. I think VZW heard people's complaints and redesigned it. On that mount, the TB comes off easily.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
Awesome - thanks for taking the time to post pictures and a write review!

I use my phone for navigation a lot and have been holding off on getting the car mount because of poor reviews. But this definitely looks a lot better than keeping it on my lap ;)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
I find the kickstand-in-vent mount to be working quite well. Even on bumpy roads. :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] YankInDaSouth:
That just scares me lol - I'd be afraid of the kickstand breaking after a while. Or getting worn out and start to just flap around like a fish out of water ... :D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
I just leave the phone angled at like 30* upwards so that all of the weight isn't on the kickstand, but everything is still completely visible. I'm thinking of adding a small support as well though. (I have a spare console vent, so if I mess it up I can replace it easy enough).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pitchblack86:
Damn. Can't find it anywhere.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tedkord:
Wouldn't any 3.5mm stereo cable work? I have a 2 foot cable I used to plug a cowon q5w to my car's unit. Sounded pretty nice, and I am thinking of using it for this phone in the car cradle.

Just to add to the OP's review, my recent purchase of this cradle also shows no issue with being too tight. I was disappointed it came without a power cable, though I already had one from amazon for $5 anyway. And finally, my Thunderbolt gets SUPER hot while plugged into this cradle. Almost too hot to handle.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] what25:
I just today put the sticky pad below the ac vents closer to the shift stick an mounted my dock there, and so far it hasnt shown any heat issues. Previously it did, but I had it on my windshield during the day, when the sunlight was basically at the phone during the time it was there.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ludionis:
My .02 on the car mount....

1) Phone does get hot I noticed too. I pointed one of my dash vents directly up toward the phone, doesn't overheat, but wondering what will happen in winter when cool air isn't blowing on it...

2) Phone does tend to jiggle a little bit more than on previous car mounts I have owned. Not enough to bother me, but it's been mentioned as a complaint by others, and it does happen.

3) The stock music player does crazy things when in the car mount. I solved this by downloading the Android Music app from the market, no more issues, and free.

4) Not a huge fan of the stock Car Dock mode, as it doesn't have a link to music or voice search. I fixed this by downloading Google Car Home from the market. Free, and customizable to any app you want to use.

5) Any 3.5mm cable will work with this mount, however, the one I already owned was too big to clip into the back of the mount (has 1 clip for a charger, 1 for 3.5mm cable). Getting a standard sized one worked great however, hangs next to car dock for easy access once phone is in position.

Finally, I spoke to an HTC rep about the car dock a couple of weeks ago. He told me that the mount currently for sale is NOT manufactured by HTC, but that one from HTC was coming out soon (no idea to timeframe).

Hope this helps!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] what25:
I'm really doubting that HTC will make one, since I have not seen any car mounts built by them for their other phones, except for very few (say Nexus One).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] whytecountry:

[Thunderbolt Accessories] TimFTWin:

Well I had all three active to make sure they were still working and chargable. The TP1 is my backup.

Well about 10 minutes ago a friend sent a text and ALL 3 recieved it. So then I tried it again, and all three got the test message. Now I can understand somehow if Telus hadn't taken 1 off the the imei list but both my spares??

Hello i have a 16gb Sandisk Class 2 SDHC card

I tried various things. Like in CW recovery i tried to partition the card.

I also tried to move apps this way http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079256

Nothing works on my card. I plugged in the card to my laptop and sometimes its shown in my computer and sometimes it doesnt.

In minitool it shows as bad disk and sometimes as FAT32.

I am so confused. Is there any way to reset my card the way it came from the factory ?

I tried formatting it tons of times and it isnt formatting correctly.

Maybe it has bad sectors or sth.

Please help me guys
[Galaxy 3 General] neo1691:
had to me once..!!!

this is what i did!!!

I was using mini tool v5.something( it was showing bad disk for me)

I updated it to v6!!

then i saw my disk in mini tool 6. I then deleted that partition and made ext4 and swap partition and fat32.

Then when i clicked on apply it said "the disk is in use and cannot be formatted, you need to restart your pc. Mini tool will automatically apply the changes"(something like this)

Then i restarted my laptop and minitool started before my windows boot.

And then the sd card was back to normal..!!

try it out..!!

Hope it helps!!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
I would go with Launcher Pro, doesn't lag at all for me
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
I had used ADW for a while, and didn't have too much trouble. But today I just switched to LauncherPro and I'm loving it. I like the window animations in the free version, I LOVE the dock customization and icons and such. I agree that it seems to be really snappy and doesn't lag and such either. It's a little harder to customize icons on the home screen, as you have to delete the current one and add a new custom one and change the icon while adding it and such. But overall, there isn't really anything ADW can do that LP can't!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I use ADW as my "main", but also have Android Seven pro, Go Launcher EX, HeLauncher, LauncherPro, Regina Launcher, and SPB Shell 3D on my phone. :eek:

I haven't had time to try them all out fully, and that is why I have so many............so that I can experiment and see which one or two I really like, then set them up how I want them. I have been using ADW EX for a while, and really like it. I haven't experienced lag, but I will say that Go Launcher and LauncherPro do seem a wee bit smoother from the minimal time I have spent "playing" with them.

My plan is to have one main launcher for my every day use, then maybe one or two more for specific times. Maybe a launcher set up solely for multimedia, one set up solely for business, etc. That's what I love about Android since I jumped off the iPhone ship..........the possibilities really are endless!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCooper2012:
I use both Go Launcher EX and the paid Launcher Pro. Personally I find myself using Launcher Pro the vast majority of the time. Go Launcher had some cool options, and changing docks and icons were a bit easier, but Launcher Pro has some nice built in widgets that tip the scale in its favor for me.

I really don't like the MotoBlur Calendar and Facebook widgets, and none of the 3rd party ones really gave me what I was looking for. But the ones that come with Launcher Pro are just what I was looking for, and they are easily skinned as well. Plus Launcher Pro runs very smoothly, much better than Blur.

Nah, I'm just trollin' ya. I haven't found a launcher that I liked. LauncherPro lagged for me somewhat, and it didn't offer some features that I wanted. Doesn't the launcher lay on top of blur already, laying on top of android stock? (or modified to use more system resources)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magoodigan:

So every custom ROM seems to have a couple mods in common...

This thread is to (hopefully) help anyone looking to learn to do them

and yet after doing a ton of searching, the only thing I have found is links to prebuilt files without much direction on how to do this myself. What if I don't want your red themed market? (No offense) What if all I want is a stock ROM that I customized with these generic modifications? What happens when a new build of Android is leaked and only two people know how to do the modifications manually and one releases a version claiming they are done when they aren't and the other appears to have used it as a base and then has to go back and manually do the edits and re-release? (Not saying it happened...)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] r2DoesInc:
its a great idea, but some of them, the advanced power controls one for example -that one was a ***** to do lemme tell ya- require an in depth knowledge of how and why things work the way they do. many how-tos would just be passed right over.

I wrote a massive write up on how to work out the sensation resizing issues, and a few people did actually read it, though nobody actually did anything with it.

and smali is so difficult to begin with...geesh :P

great idea though, and if you want to write a how to of your own for some of them, i would be more than happy to get you started and answer what questions you run into.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I know a lot will pass them over, and honestly it is like i explained to the gf today. Everyone who started with Android had a G1, some of us moved to myTouch, some of us moved to Droid, some of us moved to Thunderbolt. With each move, we brought our mods, but in the process left behind how we did them and just DID them. When I wrote kernels, I used a script on AndroidWiki that is now a 404 error. Instead I ended up with some preconfigured gui and a bunch of premade update.zip files.

It isnt really about whether anyone reads it in my opinion, its knowing the information is there for that one person that does. I appreciate the offer. The main thing is anymore if you want a mod, you have to take the theme, additions, removals, ect of the modder.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Speeddymon:
I have to agree. It's been a while since I have posted anywhere regarding Android, but the whole purpose of this forum (any android forum) as far as I am concerned is for developers to share not just the finished product (and the betas, alphas, pre-alphas, etc) but also the details of how they did what they did.

I for one would love to learn how to create themes and eventually my own roms. I found a theming guide in these forums that had a lot of information in it, but felt it was missing a lot of whys's for example when you can just modify a PNG to produce a particular look and when do you have to edit XML files. Be nice if some documented maybe there creation of a rom/theme and explaned everything along the way. Then someone could build the same rom/theme and learn by doing. I know when I got my active directory Certifications I learned at home on my own and used some training videos. I built the network right along with the training videos in Vmware. Best way to learn in my opinion is by doing.
