[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
So I've preordered my GSGIII (Verizon) and I'm planning to order myself a ProClip mount within the next few days.

For anyone who's familliar with ProClip mounts, you know that normally they offer at least 4 different options for a phone:

Standard Holder

Adjustable Holder

Charging Holder w/ Cigarette Lighter Adapter

Charging Holder w/ Straight Power Cord for Fixed Installation

The adjustable holder is the one not specifically designed for this phone... They make them in a few different sizes and the one they show when you put in your phone is the one that they say will fit it. The adjustable holders are generally used when you have a case on your phone, so you don't have to take it out.

So far, the only two options are the standard and the adjustable. Here's a picture of the standard:

Here's a picture of the SGSII charging holder, which should look pretty much the same for the SGSIII:

I have two questions though...

First, I'm coming from an HTC Incredible which has the charging port on the side. One of my car chargers had a very loose connection. Since the usb port was on the side, it never fell out as long as the phone was kept upright (it would fall out instantly if I turned the phone on it's side putting the port on the bottom). I did have another car charger which fit a little more snugly, but I'm still a little worried about the bottom usb port placement on the SGSIII. I don't really want to (a) pay extra, and (b) have to wait longer for the charging holder, but I also don't want to have my charger falling out all the time if I get the one with the open bottom. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about that?

My second question is regarding the Samsung "Ultra Slim Covers" (I have another post about those). It's hard to say exactly how thin these things are going to be without having used one, but they claim that "The case is ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there." I'm wondering if it'll be thin enough to fit in the standard ProClip dock without having to get an adjustable. I've never used a ProClip dock before so I don't know how much slack there is... but I would assume it's pretty snug. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

In addition to my two specific questions, since I haven't used these before, I'm also interested in hearing people's general opinions of the product. I know they're expensive, but I'm fed up with suction cups and want something more sturdy and fixed. I've not read a single thing bad about them (other than price). I'm curious what you all think.

Proclip mounting products are great, know this from a car forum I frequent. For a while I used a Cellcup for my phone (OG Epic) but now am thinking of getting a proclip driver's side console mount and retrofitting the stock Samsung car mount to it. If you want to set up your phone mount on a console (vs dash vs windshield) it is Proclip great way to go. Don't know about the phone fitting with a case, these mounts are made to hold the phone snugly so an adjustable mount would likely be needed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Suffice to say that the OP is not going to get the SIII into a ProClip mount with a case on, there's absolutely no way.... they are WAY too rigid to have anything but a full-body protector on it, and even then, the sides may rub too much for the phone to even want to go in the dock, so don't expect to use a ProClip with anything other than nothing!

The SII mount I've been using with my Skyrocket has done wonders for mounting so far, but I'm dying to see how it will work with the SIII.... I'm not using an Infuse 4G mount, I'm using a D710 SII mount with roughly the same dimensions as the Infuse. I added some extra protection from a spare ZAGG full-body protector and had to trim away some parts that were rubbing way too much and releasing the glue under it when mounting the phone on to the dock!

ProClip is gonna have to do something to their prices for people to want to buy those instead of just getting an Infuse dock for less than $20 shipped! I bought the ProClip car mount for my new car recently, but couldn't see spending another $60-80 on a phone mount when all I had to do was put industrial strength Velcro to the front face of the mount that attaches to the car, shave down the ball joint from the D710 mount, and then attach the opposite Velcro to that smooth surface, giving me a nice mount for my Skyrocket and hopefully an even better mount for the SIII when it arrives!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dohturdima:
LOL I was thinking of doing something similar - retrofit a stock phone holder to Proclip console mount.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
It's not hard, but I wouldn't ruin the car mount by drilling holes or anything crazy, just use Velcro so you can swap it out to whatever you want in the future!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dutchman71:
Plus it looks like the GSIII mounts are now backordered at proclipusa.com...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] 3_D:
I've used the adjustable clip for several phones with or without cases. Works very well and you don't have to worry about it fitting. I just adjusted it for my S III after using it for my Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tgmorris:
I've got one of the ProClip charging mounts for my GNex and had one for my Droid X as well. However I have pre-ordered an S3 and would be willing to use the Infuse mount for it instead of spending another $60 but don't know if the back mounting point uses the right size ball/socket to make use of my existing mounting HW.

Does anybody that has the Infuse mount know how it actually connects?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] araemo:
Will the S3 fit the infuse mount?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tgmorris:
According to this thread on SD, yes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
Just bought my ProClip mount last night. Hopefully it doesn't arrive too long after my phone shows up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cesjr02:
Definitely go for the adjustable holder. I purchased one years ago, (I think they were meant for iPhone 3S phones with a case.) But surprise, they hold just about any phone.

As for the mount, I got a vehicle specific custom bracket from a company called Bracketron. And then simply mated the two with strong double sided tape that's rated at 2lbs. It's extremely secure and removable. I'll try to post a picture later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Drift King:
Same here... After buying model specific Pro-Clips for my 2 previous phones, I purchased an adjustable Pro-Clip mount for my EVO 4G and have been satisfied. I plan on using it with my SGS3 when it arrives. I do miss having the built in power port but it really isn't that hard to plug the charger tip into the phone...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] heygrl:
I really like my Kuda mount, anyone consider those?

From my T-Mobile Galaxy S III in HD
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
OK so they're backordered... and my phone is arriving tomorrow.

So, so does anyone know what the absolute cheapest (probably universal) mount out there is that I can buy to hold me over? I'm looking for something around $10 or less.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
OK, I just got this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WXC4P0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3J828QRASPXDB

$5.25 + Free (Prime) 2-day shipping. Can't beat that. The same thing was available cheaper too, but would not have arrived quite so quickly. This should be fine until my ProClip arrives :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] razorseal:
will these work with a case? maybe adjustable? I have the casemate pop! one which I like alot
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
The adjustable mounts will work with a case. The non-adjustable ones will not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
The third post on this thread, by me, said exactly that in the first paragraph.... read before posting!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OnceAMatrixMan:
Demarcmj good to see you in SGIII (saw you a lot in the Inc Abduction ROM thread), but how did you get your SGIII already??? Or is your sig just jumping the gun a bit?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
I preordered on the 25th... it arrived at 11am yesterday (7/9). Some people who preordered earlier received theirs on the 5th even.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fishfuzz:
Anyone have experience with the Ram mounts? I have used Proclip in the past, but my mount was recently stolen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidGnome:
Same here! I Love my adjustable ProClip holder, works on any phone and best of all the holder can attach to ANY mount with just about any 'standard' screw pattern. I"m not using the proclip mount myself as I didn't like the placement in my RX8, so I went with some other companies mount (forgot the name) but once installed, used the proclip holder... I've had it about 4 years now and love the adjustable version!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Drift King:
Works great with the SGS3. Here are some pics of my Pro-Clip Adjustable mount installed in my Lexus GS450h:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
My mount and holder came in on Friday, just in time for a trip I was taking Friday though Tuesday. I knew this in the first 5 minutes, but after prolonged use throughout my trip, I can definitely say that I'll never go back to suction cup car docks. I can't even express how pleased I am with these things. They are definitely worth the money.

I no longer have to deal with the suction wearing of.

I no longer have a big ugly eyesore on my dash/in my windshield.

I no longer have to hold the phone in place when plugging/unplugging cables. It stays put all by itself and can withstand the force of plugging/unplugging without swiveling, moving, or falling off like my suction cup mounts often did.

I no longer have to deal with the small (or sometimes not-so-small) bouncing effect that I always got with suction mounts as I drove.

And since my car's mount goes over the vent, I have built-in cooling for my phone. I drove 6 hours last Friday and 6 hours earlier this week, both times using the phone's Navigation all the way with the screen on pretty much the whole time, and the phone never even got warm, let alone hot. In fact, it was even a little bit cool. My old phone would burn up after sitting in the direct sunlight on my dash and it would stop charging itself. And even if it didn't stop charging, the screen would get really hot. I never have to worry about any of that again.

I'll post some pictures of my setup later today if I remember.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stivelio:
I also ordered the clip and holder on the proclip website earlier today hoping that it will be worth the 85$
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
A long time ago I figured out my perfect system:

I order the proclip mount for my dash and my wife's car's dash.

I order Proclip's Move female and male mounts, put the female receiver on the car mount and at my desk, etc. The Move system is made of thin, interlocking male and female plates. You stick the male plate on your device or case (or what I do is put on device charger/holder) and put the female plates wherever you want to slide your phone in to mount it.

Everytime I get a new phone, I order the phone's OEM charging mount (this time got the Infuse) and put the Proclip Move male plate on that. Now we can move our phones back and forth from all the cars I've set this up on and use the OEM charging mounts.

I have another mount at the top of my dash set up this way for my Galaxy 7.7 described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623411

I forgot I actually have pictures that show what the Move plates look like.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmhpwdr:
Okay, I'm sold. Going to the website now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fishfuzz:
It's worth it. Mine was stolen (thankfully without the phone attached), but planning on ordering a new package in the next week. They even offered a discount when I explained what happened (some great customer service there).

[Galaxy S III Accessories] wiz4769:
Are there any other mounts like this, I mean that dont just suction cup to the dash or windshield? I really wanted to try one of these, but looking on the official site of coarse my model car does not have the mount I would choose...06 Honda Pilot...for every other year they have a center console so it can be right at the lip of the dash pretty much, but the 06 only has a "low" center console, so its almost to the bottom of the edge of the console, too low to use as Nav...I would order this today if it wasnt for this. I really like the idea of using this method to mount it so its not all up in the windshield in the Texas sun...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
actually it isn't JUST for the 06, it is for the 06-08....

anyway, you CAN make your own plate, and then just order the phone half. done't worry about getting the holes right.. you can use the phone part as the template.

Hey guys, has any of you guys trien the HDMI port?

I don't know if it's a software issue, but I have only tried Pandora, and the sound mutes a soon as I connect the TF300 to my TV.

I'll try some other programs later, but I was shacked this happened.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3105162:
I haven't had any issues with sound when connecting my transformer to the tv...I haven't tried Pandora but netflix, gta3, max payne, and n64oid all work.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neuralgia:
It's weird, I have no sound at all, in no app.

But its got solved by its own.

I guess it was the cable that wasn't plugged correctly or the adapter from regular hdmi to micro hdmi.

Pandora, netflix and poweramp working perfectly fine

I had same problem. It is always fixed for me when I just unplug and plug the HDMI back in.

If you can get it really cheap why not? lol, i mean, it's a good smartphone. pretty good actually. obviously you must be aware of its limitations.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jestor:
IF you can live with 150-200MB app storage (which is the biggest problem on the Desire for me personally, as I don't like app2sd for several reasons)

... and you don't care about the reasonably small screen size (which is what I like very much on the Desire)

... and you don't care that the phone doesn't have a front Camera (for skyping and alike)

... AND you can get it really cheap, why not.

As MidnightDevil said, it's a good smartphone. Not the quickest one anymore, but I like it :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3adow:
The Desire is probably one of the best low budget Smartphones you can get nowadays. Last time I checked you pay around 50€ for used ones.

Like Jestor said, if the limited internal storage isn't a problem for you (app2sd is working very well with a fast SD-card), it's probably worth the money.

And it's faster than most recently low budget phones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I'm using a One S now but my girlfriend still has a Desire. I still miss it, the New phone is nice but not everything is an improvement and I would still be happy with a Desire and the price they are selling for here is well worth it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owennewo:
It depends what the price is.

I can get a desire (used) for about £90 of a HTC One X for £450.

Its a great phone for the price. I've had mine for 2 and a half years and have enjoyed using it. I've been tempted by OneX and S3 but have decided to stick with my desire for a while and buy a nexus 7 tablet instead (£159)

My desire is running ICS smoothly so I'm happy
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_uk_e:
You have to know that You have not that much space to install Apps. As another User said...round about 150MB...

But if You use a custom Rom with root and an other recovery You can partition Your SD-Card as ext3 or ext4 and u have enough space for your apps.

I have a Desire, too for 2 years now and i'm happy with it.

I'm using ICS and it runs nice.

About 4 months ago when I got my new Epic 4g touch I rooted the phone with autoroot and installed calkulins rom which I now have at version 2.6. I am also using an ICS theme. What do I now have to do in order to get the newest modem and custom ICS roms installed on my phone? Since autoroot is no longer functional I have heard that I will have to install the stock rom and modem on my phone and then use odin to install new modems.... Is this the case? Does anyone have links to stock roms and modems I should use before I proceed into using Odin?

Thanks!
