Hey guys figured I would merge two threads I had for other car mounts. If anyone finds other ones they've used please feel free to join in and we can make this the official car dock thread.

So to start things off, we have SlipGrip... they added more models that fit everything from the otterbox line to the Incipio Silicrylic, Seidio, body glove, and even the kickstand case from Verizon. Prices seem pretty fair and they offer up quite a number of different options from vent mounts, bike mounts, RAM mounts, and suction cup/desk mounts.

Example of slipgrip suction cup mount for the otterbox defender - $29.99

http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/Droid-Charge_c_21419.html

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Also available is the Proclip mount, which costs more up front because of the required vehicle mount you need to connect the device mount to, but the build quality shows, though currently the only one available does NOT work with cases.

I've used proclip NUMEROUS times in the past with great success with my PPC6800, Touch Pro, and Sprint Hero, and Ipod.

Proclip mount - $34.99 + cost of vehicle mount...

Here is an interesting one, the Clingo mounts....they feature a very tacky sticky gel pad that proves to work well holding onto a device...though the more surface area the better so our phones might not be the best choice due to phone's big jelly booty. Still for about $28 bucks, its an interesting concept which has worked well for many phones/devices in the car.

Next up is the official Samsung car dock, which is what I currently use since that was the only thing available at the time and easily obtainable.

It works rather well for your naked phone and the slide connection includes a line out for easy placement for the aux audio cable. This can be had for ~$30 depending where you go. This has served me very well and continues to until I get a case for my phone in which case I'll probably get a Slipgrip because of the case friendly docks.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There we go for now guys! Figured I would put this together to showcase some of the options for car mounts for our droid charges! Especially those who's phones live in a case 24/7.

Good day gentlenerds and stay safe and dry if you are in Irene's stomping path.

--bump for updated thread--
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Thanks for the nice guide. I bought the Samsung dock from Verizon for $30 (I am a state employee so I get a discount). After only using the dock for a few hours I would say it is worth the investment. It is a very slick dock and automatically puts the phone in car dock mode. Now I just need to find a better car dock app; the default trys to promote VZ Navigator and there is no way that I am paying a monthly fee for what I can get for free. Any suggestions for a replacement app?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I tried a lot of them, and Car Home Ultra is far and away the best. It's a pay app, but you get a 30 day free trial to try it out and see if you like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Alright, I will try it out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
I personally use card dock home v3, though I am sure there are better options. This one was free and certainly does the job with customized menu layout and such. Also its nice since I set it to automatically get a gps lock as soon as I put it on the dock...that way by the time I get into navigation it'll have a lock haha. Am I the only one that is 'mildly' annoyed with the super long lock time??

Glad you liked the guide, figured why not put all this info under one roof. If you find anything else even if you don't use it feel free to add it!

happy labor pain day!

Appreciate the link, I've read that but right now I'm sitting on my current setup until big red puts out the official update, which of course waiting until a custom rom comes out for it haha. I am doing just groovy with my older humble rom, don't want to fiddle with it now just to flash it soon, since the newest leak seams to point at an imminent release.

Again, please guys add to this thread if you find other decent mounts that work with this, even if they are simply generic universal mounts. Gotta give the good people options :3

The mount that works with an otterbox case is cool i just got an otterbox defender case for$25 and was looking for a car dock but really didnt want to have to put the case on and off everytime i go somewhere.

Just bought the SlipClip Commuter case (vent mount) for my phone. I'll touch on it after I receive it.

Received the vent mount for my car...it doesn't fit right. I emailed the company and asked what the ideal method of attaching it to my vent is, but it just simply doesn't look (or feel) very stable.

I wouldn't trust a vent mount for anything, well maybe those air freshener sticks, but that's about it. They're just not designed to hold weight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dashbash9787:
Extended Battery

Do any of these docks work with the extended battery? I would much rather not have to go back to my stock batt but I really need the dock.

Anyone have more experience?
[Verizon Droid Charge] barry99705:
Just screwing around with one of the sticky back docks my wife used for her iPhone, and it held my HTC Flyer for a 1 hour trip over to Columbus. It should work with your extended battery. One thing to keep in mind though, in the winter it won't be real sticky until the car heats up.

Try finding the direct .APK to it and install it manually.

here a link I found, didnt test it personally

so, XDA wont allow me to post a link as im new here. so I went on google and Searched for "Astro Pro .apK " the first link is to the App. download it, move it to your SD and Install it from the basic Astro.

So i tried doing the one for droid via rom manager and when I got into my phone there was no market. Then I tried to download the new version via apk and it installed but when I open it, it crashes with an error. I uninstalled it trying to install the APK of the black market and it fails.

Is there some file it would of screwed up I need to uninstall?

[General Accessories] OmegaWolf:
Hi,

I'm unable to get in-call audio working with my Galaxy S (GT-I9000). I have tried Jabra BT3030 and Nokia BH-606 units but with both headsets I only hear a slight pop when placing a call and quiet hiss that stops when the call ends. I have tried the following steps to no avail:

- disconnected and unpaired the headset from the phone's bluetooth settings. Re-paired the phone with the headset but this didn't solve the problem.

- upgraded my phone firmware to version 2.3.4 (XXJVP) - I'm using Voodoo lagfix (just lagfix, no sound enhancements) on top of the base rom but it shouldn't matter?

I can listen to music with the BT3030 headset so the phone's BT functions are not completely dead... Any ideas what to try next to get calls working too?

Hi there,

i worked on the Generic.kcm and added or changed some Letters e.g. Z and Y, Ä, Ü, Ö.... and of course the ^ on the right position. ^^

Tested with Perixx Bluetooth keyboard.

You need root for that!

Instructions:

Option 1:

Flash QWERTZlayout.zip in CWM Recovery

Option 2:

1. Take the Keyboard off or out if it is a USB Keyboard ! important ! (seems if you don't it won't work)

2. Download Generic.kcm.txt and push it. " adb push Generic.kcm.txt /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm "

2. Or push it manually with root explorer to /system/usr/keychars/

Therefor you need to rename it to Generic.kcm . The adb command above makes it automaticly.

3. Change Permission to rw-r--r-- see on the picture ! important !

Edit:

Updated some Spezial Letters and flashable zip.
[Acer Iconia A500] brunsbanjo:

second: the update.zip isnt working (tried right after flashing a kernel..maybe that was the prob but..) because of some mounting errors.

Playing around with the ShooterU Euro leak and noticed something in the boot.img-ramdisk that I found interesting. This is a from the init.rc:

# Vzw requirement: write interface name into /system/etc/vzwinternetapn, but /system is read-only, so create a link for it.
write /system/etc/vzwinternetapn ""
chown radio system /system/etc/vzwinternetapn

I found out that dropbox was available for android :D

why did i not know this

The android app has a very simple interface but still has the functions of pc version and it only downloads your files to your phone when you want them (as data is a expensive resource on some of our mobile tarrifs) I find it really handy for keeping all my work stuff available even when im out the country... And now i can do it on my phone too :D

If you don't have a dropbox account and are going to sign up (its free) you can use this link for an extra 250meg of storage for us both

and if you dont know what dropbox is, its basically a cloud storage service but its very easy to use.

I also found it a hand way to move files between my phone and home pc without having to use a usb cable.

Does anyone know of any other cool apps for moving files around?

Based on this:

http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=JAPAN

there's no GSM support in Japan. You need to be using the 3G 2100 UMTS band.

Also, based on that message it sounds like your provider doesn't have roaming in Japan, so you'll likely need a local SIM or use wifi. Unfortunately getting a local SIM isn't as easy for visitors to get in Japan as many other countries.

I had a similar issue with my visit to Punta Cana D.R.. Just got my sensation and I couldn't do anything with my phone. I called T-Mobile and they checked and I would have been able to use my phone IF I asked them to turn on international on my account (free). Go to your T-mobile account online and add that option, was told it was going to take 24hrs for it to be updated, dont know if you have to be in your Home network first for the SIM card update... new to T-Mobile and not really feeling the love from them.... Verizon was a rip off but at least I felt like I they kissed my ass for it..
[HTC Sensation] DefiantMenace:
Every network I have been on you have to call them and tell them you are going to be out of the country and you want to use your phone overseas. They will then enable your device to connect to whatever provider they have a partnership with. if you dont call and enable this your phone will not connect to the foreign networks. It will find them but not connect.
[HTC Sensation] sert89:
nodoby mentioned it by roaming with your phone COSTS a lot of money. so be careful if you don't want to have an heart-attack when you see the bill :) if i were you i would use internet calling. I think if you are on T-mobile they have a free internet caling feature.

This is true you can use internet calling from say japan to the US and you wont get dinged for long distance, however if you call japan numbers on the same wireless you pay just as if you were on the network.

hey guys, have any of you swapped because of bad radio and gotten one that works good? Almost out of time here, and sold evo 4g already. My evo worked pretty decent at my house, the 3d is pretty unusable here. Cell standby says time without a signal is 80% over 8 hours. My old evo would be like 2%. I dont wanna ditch it at this point, but need a phone more than yt3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
i must have a really good radio, just under 14 percent, 14 hours on...
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
I returned my first one for other reasons but both radios were bad at my house. My 4G was fine. I switched prl several times but didn't want to be roaming at home and didn't solve the issue anyway. Called Sprint and they sent me airwave (internet based signal booster) free. Works great.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I didn't need an airwave till I had my 3d. I was always roaming in the house also, but its fine anywhere else.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
It seems to range from bad to terrible. On second e3d...went through 5 at the store before I returned first one...another 4 when I got second one...."bad"is as good as it gets....but thats just the meter, seems to perform almost as good as my e4g....i think they might have switched the meter from 2g on e4g to 3g on e3d.....it seems to be on par with my e4g on cm7 which measured 3g strength as opposed to sense roms which measured 2g (voice) strength so far as I recall.

Unfortunately that seems to set the threshold for roaming.
[HTC EVO 3D] sleekgreek:
Any of you swap after running the temp perm root? I've rebooted a couple times and its still rooted.

I would roam sometimes on evo and usually was like a bar or 2, but the 3d will drop a call at home while still ringing. Everyone says i sound choppy, and usually cant talk more than a minute or 2 without dropping. really sucks.
