[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
This is not a cheap setup, but nothing über ever is though is it.

Luckily T-Mobile decided to use the 17mm standard that Garmin uses for ball sockets so we can share accessories for them.

Parts Needed

ProClip mount for your vehicle - $30

(Optional) ProClip Dash Express GPS - Device Mounting Adapter - $25

Arkon Garmin 17mm ball to AMPS adapter - $8

T-Mobile G2x car dock - $30 or $10 on ebay

Process

Attach the ProClip mount to your car

Attach the female quick release to the mount

Attach the male quick release to the ball adapter

Connect quick releases together

Remove the phone holder from the windshield mount

Attach phone holder to ball mount

The quick release is optional, you can connect the Arkon ball adapter directly to your car mount without using it. I have several other devices I place there though so by having the quick release on all my devices it makes swapping them out very simple.

or you could just get the matching g2x holder that they offer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Nevermind, I actually read your post this time. :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I found the stock mount to be frustrating at best. It also caused my phone to overheat and trigger battery overheating alerts which I've never seen before anywhere else. The sun here in FL heats up the back of the holder which then heats up the phone causing it to have issues so having it in the window is not an option here. I also had to remove it completely from the window every time I wanted to put my sun shade up which is also a necessity here. Also the power cable snaking up to the windshield is unsightly and obnoxious.

Plus the window mount is just ugly in my opinion, I'd prefer to not have to look at it since it makes my car look ghetto which I do not want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I went ahead and got the same setup as you, but I decided against the quick-release part. Also, instead of paying $29 to T-mobile for their holder, I found the same LG OEM holder on ebay for $10. But I got the Pro-clip mount like you, as well as the 17mm ball adapter from amazon.

Mine seems like it will mount in front of one of the in-dash a/c vents. That could be good during the summer, as the cold a/c will be blowing on the back of the holder. But I guess I"ll have to close that vent in the winter when I use my heater, lol.

Although, I"m sure yours will look slightly sexier in your corvette than mine in my malibu, lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
I'll update the OP to have the eBay reference instead, that's a good one to save costs. I had gotten mine the day I got the phone so I at least got the 30% off of it but it's still way too expensive for what it is. Doing the cheaper T-Mobile mount and not doing the quick release makes it a much cheaper setup, and it's nice and stable. Also useful for those states like Cali that don't let you place items on your windshield except in very specific locations.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Yeh, I think with all of the components ordered, my total was about $58...definitely less than I had anticipated spending, so I'm very happy about that. I couldn't have made the decision without your review, so thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Can you guys point me to the phone holder with the ball mount "receiver" (into which the ball goes) on it?

Every G2x car dock holder I can find is just attached to a crappy suction cap arm thing. So, to reiterate, I need the thing the phone goes into (like a case) but with a ball receiver on the back.

thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
It's the LG G2x car dock that you buy from either T-mobile or you can get it cheaper on ebay. You just toss aside the suction cup assembly and use the holder with the other parts that are clearly listed in detail in the OP.

Btw, brentil, did you have to drill out the ProClip bracket? Or did you use screws instead? Because the mounting holes in my bracket are very tiny (too small for the nuts/bolts that came with the ball assembly) and are only about half-depth. The two options I see are, drilling or switching to screws instead of bolts...which direction did you go?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Mine actually came with screws and bolts. I bought mine 3 years ago though. They are small pointed screws.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rawsax:
Hi, brentil,

Just a note of thanks for the "heads-up" about LG and Garmin sharing the same 17mm ball-mount. My G2x will be sitting on the Garmin "beanbag" mount in a rental car in the next few weeks and I have the feeling that the Garmin windshield mount will be a lot less vibration prone than the OEM LG.

You RULE!

P.S. (everybody): slkwirelessessentials, on eBay, has the OEM LG 2X/G2x car docks for $ 7.99 with free shipping. They come in beat-up boxes, but they are new (they also have some "used" ones for a little less).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
Busted out my calipers and was super excited to see them read 17mm since I knew that was a Garmin standard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
I already have a proclip mount for my garmin, this is damn handy. I've just placed an order on ebay for the LG dock. That with a cigarette lighter adapter for USB should handle everything I need. Thanks for the info guys.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cwsmall:
just a heads up. placing in front of air vent is not a good idea. it caused issues with my hd2 by causing condensation to build up inside the battery area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
http://cgi.ebay.com/U-ORIGINAL-OEM-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item6b1b8f581d

This is the OEM mount you're talking about? I didn't realize it was a universal-style pressure mount.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brentil:
That's not the right one. You want one with the ball mount on the back that is the OEM official design.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPADroid:
Hi All!

I am really loving the new Synergy ROM RC1 however I am concerned about a few issues that to me are very important. Any help addressing these would be great:

1. I can not attach nor receive any pics via texting.

2. Battery life is NOT good at all.

I was thinking about looking at the synergy-kindom rom...is that any better?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merchmonster:
As far as the texting issue. try using handcent sms from the market. Should be good to go there. Battery life is bad? There are a number of things that will affect battery life.

first thing is how much battery life are you losing per hour?

2) Check weather, gmail, facebook, and other things for sync and how often

3) go under settings then privacy then uncheck back up settings and automatic restore. these will drain your battery as many found out on cm7 and it seems to have helped on synergy unchecking those.

4) this is probably the biggest one. go settings then wireless & networks then go to mobile networks and uncheck always -on mobile data.

hope this helps and if there are any more questions feel free to ask. the xda community is great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPADroid:
Thank for the reply. I noticed that when I talk on the phone, my battery drains sooo fast. I am looking at downgrading to NV and PRI 1.77 to see if that helps. Any tips here would be helpful as well.

Regarding the text attachment issue, I really dont want to run a 3rd party app to get something so simple like texting to work. Has this issue been reported to Synergy and i wonder if there is a known bug/fix for it?

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EarlZ:
Im wondering if the Samsung Infuse 4G suffers the same issue with the Galaxy S2's screen issues..

1.) Yellow tinting

2.) Left side is darker than the right

3.) Huge color temperature swings from unit to unit

4.) Difference of white brightness

5.) Visible suction cup marks

6.) White blotches on the screen when a gray image is displayed

7.) Color banding

Any input is appreciated, pictures are also welcome especially if its the notification tray dropped down.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] RockingKK:
I personally have not had any of those issues that i can recall or that i can tell.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] overstrand:
At the very very bottom of my screen on the Infuse there is a noticeable tearing or bending...whatever you want to call it. I have seen 4 with this small imperfection. Maybe it was a bad batch.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antuus:
I think it is an intended effect. (bottom of screen) It's really noticeable when you scroll through text.

The issues the OP mentioned, I've seen none of.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
It's clearly not an intended effect. It's only the bottom row of pixels anyway.

None of those other problems I have in the slightest.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
not at the moment. maybe later when I am at home.

I also could just not be seeing it. so *shrugs* Not entirely sure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
ok. Here are a couple of photos trying to see the banding.

here's a picture of the stuff it does to text at the very bottom. It's a small sliver and is hard to see in a photo. Look at the bottom of the lower case Es, Os, and B and V

Hopefully it I just a software defect that can be resolved latter.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
I had a light spot on my first Infuse. It was only noticeable on dark gray backgrounds. Exchanged because of it and my second and third Infuses didn't have it.

Haven't noticed the other issues mentioned by the OP and I'm pretty particular about screens. Color balance is much better than my old Captivate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EarlZ:
@hwaters

I may just be seeing things but there also looks like a yellowish tint captured by the camera, would be you able to zoom out a bit on the photos something that shows the entire phone but not further away. Thanks!

For those who are willing to contribute pictures please post a picture of the notification tray dropped down with the full phone in view.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
My camera was having focusing issues from farther away but I did take a few other pictures earlier today.

If there is some yellow tinting oh well. It may just be an issue with how they may the super amoled plus screens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EarlZ:
There is but what matters the most is the severity of the tinting, on some units its totally invisible to the naked eye.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hwaters:
Ah.

It doesn't seem that bad to my eyes.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Leon_A:
I suddenly noticed this issue after using this phone for more than two weeks. It doesn't appear after a fresh boot. However, it appears immediately after turn the screen off and on once.

Hope that's a software issue.

Now that I looked closer, the bottom has some pixel-stretching. Weird.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Looks like Sprint is going to have to give me a new phone since I'm on my third Shift since release, and this one has major antenna problems (lose data, can't make calls half the time, texts are intermittent, etc.). So I'm wondering if I should try one more shift or actually get an Evo. I'm not getting a Samsung device, they just feel like crap to me.

I don't know what to do darnit lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
You could see if they'll give you an EVO 3D.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I say stick with the Shift :) . But I'm biased. Love my Shift, hands down best phone I've ever owned. I had an EVO before this. The EVO is a great phone. But a little too big for the pocket. Plus the Shift can be OC'd way higher. But either way your good. Plenty of Dev's on both phones. Plus you can run some awesome Mik roms on both. Just my two cents.

I'd stick with shift, but my question is did u ever root your phone or anything? Seems like u were having strange issues might just have needed a custom Rom or something? Just my input though

Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
I looked at the 3D, but it just seems gimmicky to me.

The Evo is likely my best option, but I'll certainly miss the keyboard. I even thought about the Nexus S or Epic, but I just hate the feel of Samsung phones, so I don't think they're an option. I'm not entirely sure they'll let me get another Shift, but if they do you can bet I'm asking for a new one and not a refurb

I've rooted all three Shifts multiple times, the first two were hardware issues (loose keyboard--me being too picky, then a loose ear speaker). Rooting it didn't help the service issues a bit on this third one, which is what leads me to believe there's an antenna issue
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
if you think the 3d part of the evo3d is gimmicky, just ignore it and realize its a really a CDMA version of the HTC Sensation. One of the best phones on the market.

The shift is a great device, but the 3d blows it out of the water.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Isn't the screen always in a "3D mode" though? I've only seen a 3D once, and only from the side, and it looked pretty weird at that angle. I'll have to go to a store and check it out
[EVO Shift 4G General] craven667:
ok i my shift has a major antenna problems also i got one phone sent out but do they still change the phones for you?? and whats the $ for say a reg evo . i got my phone over clocked to 1.5 and sprint keeps telling me slower data due to the cpu is 800 not 1ghz like the evo i wish i could tell sprint a thing or too
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Well, if you've still got the problems keep calling and complaining. The Evo and the Shift should be an even swap I think. I haven't called them to find out yet.

Granted, I'm on an employee plan and go through employee care tech support, so the rules and prices are a little different.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
edit: guess I didn't have a choice...they're sending me yet another Shift, and probably another freaking refurbished one at that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Well on the upside, since your on your fourth Shift. My buddy works for Sprint. You can actually request/ demand it be a new one. Also, if your unsatisfied with this one new/other. You can request they give you a different device equal to the Shift.

[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
If I could get them to exchange my Shift for a refurb, I'd never activate it and have it on ebay so fast...then get something else...something that can be rooted. For now, I'll just be patient.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
They told me that after my third one I could get a "like device", which I took to mean any device of a similar price range, guess I was wrong, or they were yanking my chain.

A refurb shift is likely not upgraded to 2.3.3 or whatever the upgrade was to--yet. This one's a week old and didn't come upgraded, so root was quite easy, even though it didn't help
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
It's definately a plus if you can still root it.

[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
I don't actually work for them, my fiance does lol. The biggest perks about the employee plans are the much lower prices, yearly upgrades, no actual contract, and quicker tech support.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
well, I got the new phone in the mail, activated it this morning. Other than having a somewhat loose slider again (which is going to be extremely annoying) it looks like it might work.

updated to 2.3.3 though, so that kind of sucks at the moment.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
When my wife had the Samsung moment, I had to go through so many devices before they would offer me something comparable. Which was the intercept, an even worse phone. Not even the Hero was an option! Ended up emailing dan@spint.com and then reporting to BBB and finally got my upgrade reset. It was a total PITA.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnordsnafu:
So I am trying to load a couple of apks I have and it's been no go. On my Epic I usually just dropbox, open, and install. I tried that and initially got the security message. That is already taken care of via nookcolor tools. So that isn't the issue. My issue is every time I go to install I go to Astro, open the file via the "open app manager," it takes me to the info install page...I click install and it loads into the package installer, excellent...and then it just stalls and the progress bar runs and runs but never progresses. This has happened with every apk I have now tried.

Okay...so I figured I'd just go the little more involved (very little, no need to be that lazy, right) route and adb install. Well carp. All goes well, I adb install blahblah.apk and it starts rolling..."570kb blah..etc pkg /blah/temp/blah"...and just hangs there...never to give me the gratifying "success" message. Again, I have tried this with different apks that I know work and the same results. I restored to stock and rerooted, just in case. Same

I am running stock rooted (manualnooter) at this point, just got the nook day before yesterday (one of the many who jumped at the refurbs). Market apps download fine. I'm a blue dot, if that makes any diff. Likely not but meh.

I have searched and googled and not found the answers...but I know I am missing something elementally simple. My luck I'll look like an idiot and it will be a "did you check to see if you had any gas?" broken down car scenario. I'm okay with that, as long as I'm running again. I'm pretty sure I checked all the out of gas scenarios but I likely missed one or two so... any help is much appreciated. Thanks a ton...

I should know better than trying to write before coffee:rolleyes:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
Well, My answer is not a "check gas" answer. It's pretty dang weird.

1. Download ES Explorer from the market.

2. Start ES Explorer, hit Menu>Settings. Goto Root Options (NEW) and tick both check boxes. Hit allow when it asks you to.

3. Go back twice, until you see your sd card contents. Find the APK on there and select and hold. Hit copy and then hit the 1st button on the row of buttons (it's an icon of an sd card OR a Home icon) If you see a data folder, go in to it. If not, hit the 1st button again.

3. Once in the data folder, go into the app folder. Pull up the little white tab on the bottom. Tap the APK you wanted to install. It will copy. Once you see the APK's icon in the folder, hit the home button and restart. That should have installed it but it is a slow method. Note that you can Multi-Select APK's by pressing the Multi-select button and pasting them all in the /data/app/ folder.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
are you sure you have side loading checked

Settings > applications should be the top box.

I think he already took care of that. And he is on stock, so there is no Applications setting.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnordsnafu:
ikingblack, thank you, thank you!

Not sure why but by doing this it somehow unsnafued the package installer as well (fingers crossed). I went through your instructions with a known good apk that would not install for anything before. And there it was after the copy, paste reboot etc. Not too much to ask for...still was confused as to the why of the normal package installer method not working. So I decided to give it (package inst) a go with another known working apk (I had just tested it on my epic) that previously wouldn't install, repeatedly, and now it installed just like it should. Scratching my head in wonder. It shouldn't be the reboot, as I have do so many times...the only difference is the install instructions and adding ES (I'm leaving astro behind I think). All I know is it is working and I am a happy camper (tent is in the back yard...):p Thanks again! cheers!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
Sure. Also, you can select all the APK's using the 2-file icon at the top and tapping the APKs, then press-and hold on one of the APk's and then go to data app, and keep tapping the APK's you wanna copy. And then reboot. Enjoy your Nook!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisleeuk:
Thanks for this, it fixed it, but I don't know why.

I suffered this issue on my dell streak.

It was working fine a couple of days ago when I installed GetJar.

Suddenly today for no reason I can determine:

All APK's I tried the install button in the package installer was not grayed out, but it would not respond when pressed.

I've just been setting up my streak again and installing a lot of software. I'm guessing something must of gone wrong.

Someone on another post suggested JuiceDefender may have caused it but I've not installed that recently.

In my case I did:

(1) Installed esFileExplorer

(2) Copied an apk to the folder /data/app/ as described above

(3) restarted the phone

This did not install the app for me.

(4) Tried running the apk file again. Suddenly the Install button is clickable again?! The app then installed just fine.

(5) Tried a different apk (without copying to /data/app/)

Now that will install fine?!

This is really weird. I can't replicate the issue now (which is good!)

but I also can't tell which action fixed it.

As said above it may have been installing esfileexplorer and giving it root access.

It may have been the act of copying the file that reset something.

It wasn't the reboot, at lease not on its own as i'd already tried it.

Regardless, thanks for the info.

If anyone sees this issue again you might want to just try installing esfileexplorer and see if apk's will then install.

This might help us identify which bit of the process is creating the fix.

Just found another suggestion if anyone is interested:

Some suggests using the 'Fix permissions' option of Titanium Backup. I have no way to test this.
