+1

I have mine mounted via the disc they provide you on the dash and not on the window and it holds up great. I dont use a case but that isnt an issue for me. If I drop it, I drop it. Thats what insurance is for. I couldnt be happier with that mount though and I find the car mode works "ok." Certainly better than my iPhone did anyways.

Highly recommend this mount if you dont mind the case issue. Its worth the extra $$ just for the build quality. I'll try and snap a picture with a camera or my old phone and show how I have it mounted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davidusr:
It doesn't work very well. With the charge port on the right, and the flap folding down, the bottom right of the flap gets in the way of the dock. It will go in, but it deforms the "hinge" part of the flap, and doesn't quite go in all the way, making it difficult to slide the charge plug.

I used the Proclip mount on a Ford Escape. Here's how it looks if you are curious.

Had I had a bit more sleep on the day I ordered it, I would have gone with the hard-wired version. Instead, I went with the cigarette lighter based one, and I'm still pretty happy with it.

With Proclip, there are multiple mount locations/types. You have to choose the base to mount the Note's mount to based on your car on the site.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about this video I posted:

[YOUTUBE]FkgffRvAM2c[/YOUTUBE]

It should work but you might have to ask them for an extra set of the long legs that come with the holder. Seems the SM578 was a specific bundle for the Note, so the SM520 might not come with the 2 extra legs.

Either way, ask about it when you order; they have good customer service and will probably give them to you for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
To expand on this, I was a commenter on your youtube video and I can confirm I only received two of the long legs. As you suggested on you tube, I called Arkon and they we're very helpful and are sending the legs out to me, should ariive tomorrow or Monday. Thanks Shady, this looks like a good product and I am looking forward to trying it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cyris69:
Just ordered the Mountek CD tray one. Hope it works well with my 7" flip out. Granted I use built in BT for music and calls so I dont have to open then touch screen on my player.

@Shady Gambino

On my 08 ford focus, it has a textured plastic dash, will this only work on a very smooth finished dash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shady Gambino:
It should hold fine. My girlfriend's Scion has a matte textured dash. If it loses stickiness because of the matte finish, just rinse it in warm water and shake it dry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
My dash is textured on my Outback and it has not moved or loosened since I originally put it on there. See my previous posts in this thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rob Irizarry:
I just picked one up as well. I love the concept. However, the ears that hold the phone need to be deeper to accommodate cases. The Note with just the Speck Candyshell case wasn't being held all that great. With the Reiko hybrid case (think Otterbox), it's precarious at best. I hit a rough section of highway that lasted only a few seconds and the phone started sliding out the bottom. But even without rough patches, it just sits to shallow in the ears. I'm less than a hard stop away from it flying out of the mount.

That said, there don't appear to be many good options out there so I'm debating whether I return it or opt to perform a mod that extends the ears.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shady Gambino:
Good to hear, glad they were able to help you out. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I've been wanting a proclip setup for awhile and couldnt justify it. Now I have a new phone that I will have for a couple years and my F150 isn't going anywhere, so I think I might spring for it. I hate the thought of dropping about $100 for a mount, but if i go the trial and error route I could spend close to that anyways, if not more like I had over the year or two with the vibrant buying one cheap or mid range one after another. I just have to sell some stuff on ebay to finance it, that way I dont have to sell the idea to the wife since I can hardly convicne myself, she'd talk me out of it. I do like that as long as i keep the phone or the truck and only change one, I dont have to reinvest in a whole new "rig"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I had one on order and they just refunded me my money back. They're not available
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
I have the stock one and love it. Not having to mess with cables is a big plug. Keep AUX and power plugged into the dock and just drop the phone in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] A Dustman:
That is fantastic, I had no idea this dock had a 3.5mm input on the back, I just ordered mine after reading this post. Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
What I did is I modified my iPhone 4 holder from ProclipUSA.com

The holder can be expanded and contracted according to the size of the bumper/case. It can go as far wide as a Galaxy Note + Elago thin case, no problem.

I had to remove the iPhone 30 pin charger (there's two screws and a bit of glue, it's hard but doable), I did that and I could put it back again if I needed to. Now I have to figure out a way to stick out the Samsung charger through that hole, but that's is waiting for a case. I think just a piece of wood (painted black) with foam should be enough to hold the tip in place. The phone itself would be held by the sides of the case.

Better than sell the iPhone dock (very new) and now I have a flexible case to boot, it could go well with any usb phone with charger in the bottom, I think.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I'm liking the Pro Clip base, but the mount itself would be unusable for me. Right now I've got a Speck case and planning on going to something with more protection as soon as it comes out (read bigger). So, I'm looking for a universal-type mount that can both handle the phone in the case, handle some spirited driving, and mount to the ProClip hard mount.

Did you ever find something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rknight68:
OEM DOCK

Just received and installed my OEM car dock. Really like the plug and go (same as my atrix)...however. I use volume+ and it doesn't seem to work 100% of the time...more testing needed, but I think it has something to do with Bluetooth being on, and weather it is active and working before placing in the dock/activating BT. It did not work at first, but later, I was using it on Pandora, then inserted in dock (no BT on) and it was working. I turned on BT, and it quit. Anyone else using both of these? I also am not happy with the plug in for audio in the back, but may just be my cable. It does not seem to "click" in all the way, going to try a different cable tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Decided I'm going to mod a couple mounts to get the best of what I need an want.

ProClip mount to mount to my truck. The mount is a flat surface which should lend itself to being a good mod foundation. $30 sucks, but will be worth it in the long run as it offers a 3'oclock position in relation to the steering wheel (see attached).

I have a samsung desk dock from my Vibrant that I am going to dismantle tonight and see if I can make it work with what I 've got in mind to give the docking feature. Now I need to choose something that can be mounted to this dock that will accomadate a Seidio case as that is the one I plan to order. I may order some kydex and make my own as this may be the only thing that will work right and will allow me to easy drill the holes to mount to the proclip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Just ordered my sheet of kydex. Wife and kids go out of town this weekend for a week or so, plenty of time to screw with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ship It City:
Ordered and received the OEM Cardock from Amazon after getting the 5$ free and couldn't be any happier I went with the OEM, really liking just dropping it in the cradle and having the music and sound play through the speakers. now on to find me a good bluetooth FM transmitter !!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Evil.Bonsai:
Bought a cheapie vent-mount holder on ebay. Works well. I do have to plug in charger cable and audio cable but that's not a big deal. Was a bit confused about getting into 'car dock' mode, but then saw that 'voice talk' mode was the defacto 'car' mode. Don't really like talking TO my phone, but I'll try it and see how well it works. Was using clock dock mode which works ok, too. Just wanted something with larger on-screen buttons to use maps/music/nav with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ship It City:
check out car home ultra great program for a docked note !! can start off with this instead of voice talk !!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] circuit.007:
I installed the original car home app as i hate using the vlingo. if you need Instructions of how i got it are in the themes and app section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Evil.Bonsai:
Well, need to find something that will work. both the voice app and clock dock mode shut the screen off after timeout, leaving me with a black, and locked, screen. I was just using google maps and it shut the screen down on me.

I've tried car.home by samsung from the market, but it seemed to only use about half the screen (centered, with large empty border) and when selecting the music app, it just errored out. I'll look into this 'ultra' version of which you speak.

Update: nope, car home ultra not going to work either. Screen still shuts off, making it useless. Need the screen to stay on. Guess I'll probably have to go with the OEM version of the car dock. Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ship It City:
check the box in settings to keep the screen on while docked works for me doesnt shut off when docked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Evil.Bonsai:
Yeah, found that setting. Works ok so long as I stay within the car home app. If I create a shortcut to one of the music apps, then enter into that app, the screen turns off. Navigation keeps the screen on, but nothing else will. I like to use google maps when driving but the screen shuts off when using that, too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
I bought this too and returned it, was too flimsy to hold my case and phone together.

Attached is the case I have, which I love, it's pretty durable but thick.

Still looking for a mount to use in my car that's durable and strong. I have a gooseneck that I 'permanently' mounted in my Sequoia. I just change the mount from phone to phone and keep my gooseneck in place.

I was going to consider making a slide in type pocket thingy out of some pliable aluminum or maybe make something out of some fiberglass and slide it into like a pocket. Am sure if I still twisted it sideways, the rubber and the length of the pocked the phone in landscape mode for navigation still would not slide out.

For any device!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Audacity

• A stopwatch, timer or an extra device to record time etc..

* Read all below FIRST! Before doing!

* Remember to save your sound in a OGG format in Audacity​

1. First make a boot animation and play it on your phone

(restart your phone to make it play)

2. Get a stopwatch or timer, etc, and time/record how long your bootanimation runs.

Example: 8 sec

3. Open Audacity and open a sound file you want with the bootanimation

4. Select the whole clip.

5. In the menu of Audacity click

-Effect

-Change Speed…

6. And change it so the final ogg sound file time is 8 sec (make it slower)

So then just trial and error! Until you get the right value! :)

* I was tired and had a lot of free time. So I was thinking about how I could sync the sound with my bootanimation and it just came to me! :D

[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Agreed, that would be nice.

My Son's LT has that panel also.
[HTC Rezound] Smitelight:
Honestly, I can't stand to use the stock Music player due to being stuck with either the Beats or HTC "enhancement" both of which only ever sounds like a bit of reverb and bass boost added, by different degrees. On decent high-end 'phones it just sounds like garbage. :( I'd feel suckered by the hype if I didn't already expect it to be empty hype.

The Rezound, on the other hand, is awesome.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I couldn't actually care less about beats, I bought the phone because I liked it. I have never really used the integrated beats software, I always use PowerAmp which is so much more advanced than most other music players.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I like beats because in my car, until I finally upgrade my system, I get better sound through beats because it keeps the bass without the speakers giving out. Using my iPod I cannot listen to many songs as the speakers start to give out.

I never listen to music on my phone because it is all in iTunes and is annoying to get around the drm and such

Have you tried Player Pro? I used to have PowerAmp and thought it was awesome but when I tried Player Pro, I found it even better. It sounds a lot better than beats audio and had some features I did not find in PowerAmp.

[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
I agree, I didn't buy this phone at first because of the Beats gimmicks but once I saw the specs and the news of ics coming to it plus BJ's Wholesale had them on sale for $99, I had to get two.

I used the iBeats earphones once and they absolutely sucked ass compared to my SkullCandy 50/50. Only thing is my 50/50's aren't Android compatible so out of its three headset buttons, only the middle play/pause works.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
I have a couple 10's in my car and Beat's makes a huge difference. But I do like stock player on my Galaxy tab because of the eq and I can make the bass soound alot better.

Beats arent that great but saying that skullcandys are better is complete bull****
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
If you install the app "headset button controller" you can regain all the functions of the 3 buttons.

The app works perfectly, I have about 30 different sets of earbuds/headphones & 99% of them are only "iphone compatible" so I use this app every single day.

I originally installed it to use with my Beats Studios & my Bose QC15's but I quickly realized it works with ANY headphone set.

It's all a matter of opinon of course, but I would have to agree & I have a set of each kicking around somewhere.
[HTC Rezound] mtbhk44:
This is definitely a matter of preference but I tried both Player Pro and Poweramp and I have found the sound is EXACTLY the same on both players. They both utilize the same 10 band EQ. Poweramp even gives you the option to turn on Beats, which I find to be unnecessary. In the end, the only difference is the UI - I had already purchased Poweramp so there was no need for Player Pro, but the sound, I found, was exactly the same after tweaking. I'm sticking with Poweramp
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree & I have both apps.

I much prefer PowerAmp also.

Power amp helps with headphones but I would never use it in my car. I can't stand the sound of an analog input. I hate to admit it but I use an iPod, reformatted, no compression, flat eq. I let my fosgate 3sixty.2 perform all the magic.

Hi all,

I have an Android Starlight 2 (basically HTC HD7 clone) from lightinthebox.com.

It runs okay, a bit slow, but has started to crash a bit recently. I can't do a factory reset, as doing this messed up the phone and deleted the IMEI numbers (rendering the phone useless). I guess this is the problem when you buy a tempting but unusual phone - there's very little help on the internet for it as it's not originally an Android.

Who can I pester to make a custom ROM for this phone? I'd like it to run faster/crash less, keep the dual SIM functions, etc.

Unfortunately if you're on AT&T youre sim locked so to unlock the bootloader you have to go through a pay service like this (~$24):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322827

If you unlock your bootloader you can run custom kernels, meaning you can run CM7, MIUI and any other ROM that requires one. Without unlocking your bootloader you can still install CWM and flash ROMs. The only restriction is that they must be stock based, meaning they use a stock kernel. Without unlocking you can't use fastboot, and without fastboot you can't flash custom kernels.
