Donation sent.

Looking forward to this. Thanks to guru_shastri for spearheading the collection.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
OK!

now we're in the ballpark.

218$.

I'm looking in ebay and amazon for devices shipping worldwide, hoping to find a cheap one. currently the cheapest offer is 284 before shipment (another 40$).

any other ideas are more than welcome.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:

to good to be true?
[HTC Jetstream] loni90:
"brand new, not refurb"...

yeah, too good to be true...

(thats what i think)
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
I think we should consider either of these, the first is a refurb and the second is relatively new:

[HTC Jetstream] dvanburen:
Donated. Not as much as I would like, but I may be able to donate a bit more in a few weeks if still needed.

Thank you for organizing this. I love my jetstream but it needs some JB.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
ok. thanks dvanburen.

we got 242 right now.

both links require about 40$ for shipment.

that plus the 7$ difference in the cheap pne is what we're missing.

50$ more, and we've done it.

needless to say that if any change will be left after the purchase we'll decide together what to do with it. my initial thought was to using it to buy a pen as well..
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
Come on guys, we're an inch away...

any dollar could help.

help us with this!
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
I guess the spreadsheet isn't up to date. Where exactly do we stand right now?
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
updated the spread****.

we're at 242 (after the 4.2% paypal took for each transaction)

Zarboz might give us a few bucks, but not likely due to some personal things.

the current goal is just under 300$. 249 for the device, and about 40 more for the shipping.

just two more small donations and were there..it drives me mad being so close..
[HTC Jetstream] mwoliver:
I just threw in another 50, let's rock 'n roll.
[HTC Jetstream] vbcomer:
I just sent another $25.

I know right now we have just barely enough to buy the tablet. However, can we wait a little more for people to come back from their vacations (maybe) to join? Then we might have enough to buy a stylus scribe digital pen? That way, we can send both to the developer to save on the shipping?

I found these pens from eBay, $20 with free shipping (sorry can't post links due to my member status)
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
Thanks guys! vbcomer - people are watching these threads..when we'll have a proper rom you'll see the true amount of users here. not sure that waiting any more would help

about the pen - i'll go amazon, there are many there - alot of which with free shipping.

the one thing left is getting the device.

i sent a message to the seller, but he's not replying.

i'm not sure if i want to get in business with such a seller..
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
Which seller are you referring to?

[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
Wow, a lot of development since October I see.

Great job in getting all this worked out. Would love to donate to this cause but sorry - no funds for the next 2-3 months as it is entrance exam season. So this will have to wait for me.

I can however help with info for the stylus - I had got a wonderful replacement in october. The Fujitsu CP498942. It works just as amazing, comes with a AAAA battery and an extra nib. However, unlike the HTC Scribe, it comes with only 1 side button - which can be configured in most apps like papyrus and lecture notes. I found the nib also more smooth. It costed me $25, but now I think it is up $ 2-3. The links are as below:

Amazon ($27.59) - http://www.amazon.com/FUJITSU-STYLU...qid=1357108395&sr=8-5&keywords=Fujitsu+stylus

Pinnacle Micro ($23) - http://www.pinnaclemicro.com/computer/dsku.php?g=CP498942-XX&m=Fujitsu#

Hope this helps and we manage to get some really good news for our tablet really soon. :)
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
i'm already bidding on one in ebay..i'll keep you posted.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
OK

its done.

the device is on his way to showp1984..

hopefully all will go well and soon we'll start seeing progress here.

to all those chipping in: THANKS. we just might bought a future for this device.
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
Awesome, which one did you get and how much did it end up costing?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
the cheaper of the two links. the 249$ one. you can see on ebay it went from having 5 sold/ 5 left to 6 sold /4 left.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Jetstre...30823154911?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item1e75aaecdf

along with the shipping it got to 288..

i passed the money to showp and asked him to try and get a pen with the money left. hopefully he will.
[HTC Jetstream] FrakMe:
It might be a bit late, but I use one of these Dell 5P9F9 for the m6600 pens for both my jestream and my view. It works fine and it costs less than a scribe pen.

ebay linky
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
What's great is that showp will hopefully be able to bring us not only a JB or ICS rom, but hopefully a kernel as well :D
[HTC Jetstream] jmz:
Well guess i was late to the party. I just picked one up and it should be here next week.
[HTC Jetstream] DNarsingh:
Hey man, we need all the help we can get with this device, lol. I know I would love to see anything you could offer :)

[HTC Jetstream] -EAD-:
Sorry I just got back from the holidays... Would be glad to contribute or help in some way.
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
jmztaylor - it seems that the party is just begining...hope to enjoy your work.

technically only 6 people donated to the device for showp1984. maybe the others will still donate to whoever gets this device JB.
[HTC Jetstream] frankieGom:
Chipped in another 30 bucks! Can't wait to see how the Jetstream feels with jb...

Chip in, read whole thread next! Typical...

Anyway, if that money can still be put to good use toward some more goodies for the Jetstream just go for it!

[HTC Jetstream] loni90:
The reason why i was a lil bit passive was because i was about to sell my Jetstream. Just sold it today! Couldent take the bad software support. Android 3.1 was not optimal

thats why this project is much needed!

i hope u guys the best of luck, cos this tablet is really amazing (but needs better software)

Will check in sometime to check how the process is going
[HTC Jetstream] swikster:
Donated!

I just donated $20 to the cause! I'm sorry it's not much but I'd be willing do donate more to the Dev if a good JB ROM comes out. :)
[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
thanks man.

we covered the device, a pen and most of the taxes that the shipping will cost.

you can stop donating now.
[HTC Jetstream] swikster:
I live in Belgium

I understand the developer lives in Germany and I live in Belgium (probably just a few hours away from where they live). If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Anxious just like everyone else to see this work. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzzy16:
Hey. I've got an i9100. Having a problem where when i restart my phones and say i have 50 percent battery, after the restart, the battery tells me i only have between 10-15 percent left. i used the battery calibration app last night which dint help. using 4.0.4. Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
Try to reset your battery stat if you are using clockworkmod recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gb.yolo:
Calibration apps from market or everywhere else suck. Nothing else to say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzzy16:
How do i do that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
You need to reset your fuel gauge chip!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzzy16:
how do i do that??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethery:
I have done this before by flashing Dorimanx kernel and selecting the option in ExTweaks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
The easiest way is to flash a custom kernel that supports that feature. Siyah, Dream and Dorimanx kernels all support the feature via Extweaks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
maybe you could post some details about what rom/kernel you are using and then it would be easier for people to help you... trey something like my signature :)

regarding your problem... try to use your phone like you usually do from a fulll battery until 10-15% then recharge it without any restarts
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzzy16:
haha sorry. just copt i have cwm. do i need to wait till the battery is fully charged b4 i wipe the data??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
I recommend to charge it to 100% then remove the battery for 1 minute (this resets your fuel gauge apparently) then charge it again to 100% so I guess you need to charge it. Afterwards, discharge it normally and try not to reboot at least for one cycle

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Hello everyone, we at iBOLT (www.ibolt.co) are working on a "real" car dock for the Note II. As we are finalizing the details it would be great to have feedback and input from this knowledgeable user community. Here's some of the questions where it would be great to have some feedback on: which type of microUSB charging is optimal (fixed position or flexible so it works with cases), car mode (good or not?), wireless charging (does anyone care?), aux-out through microUSB with 9ft cord (too long?). Well, sound off and let us know and we'll read every comment:) Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
One thing I'd be concerned with is -

does the wireless charging supply enough power for a maxed out Note 2?

i.e. screen on 100% full brightness, GPS going full tilt, CPU probably going at a healthy pace too.

We've seen a fair number of people with chargers that couldn't handle the load (i.e. their phone still drained battery even on the charger).

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Great comment. The Car Dock for Galaxy Note II must work well with thicker cases type Otterbox Commuter/Defender, Ballistic, Trident etc. It would be great to hear from users that have Qi wireless charging solutions, like the Galaxy S III solution from Verizon etc. How well does it work with cases?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] May2012:
I do not really understand the car dock, so also do not understand perfect?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
nice, i was hoping you guys would make one for the note ii.

please have a stiff-necked cup holder version. i find them much more stable and secure. i personally have a mini cooper, and the cup holders are right in front of the console. the usb cable/aux are right behind them, so it's perfect. 9ft is definitely too long, and would just clutter up the car.

as per the connection, consider the samsung infuse route...where it snaps into the bottom of the phone. wireless charging is nice, but i wouldn't pay more than +20 bux for it.

speaking of which, please do portrait mode, not landscape. portrait is way better for navigation.

last and the least, consider changing your company name.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
wow...i'm glad that you guys are advertising here....I have never seen a better car dock before....

I have been looking for a dock that can fit my phone with the many different cases (thickness) I have, So definitely keep the "Flexible MicroUSB Arm please". I also like the idea of being able to attach it to either the windscreen or the dash.

I t would be nice to see the wireless charging feature and also one size fits all for different size phones. It would look very bad to have 2 docks in my car for both of my phone and my wife's phone.

Please let us know when the dock comes out for the note 2. Can't wait!:good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] non1oson:
I think the cable should be included in the dock hidden, so the bottom is not fugly with a cable in the car.

personally tbh your s3 dock is hideous, it is WAY too big and covers WAY too much of the phone. it needs to be slim and transparent, as if it were never there.

also for those who don't want a big fat suction cup on their window or dash, we would like something that attaches to any surface, or something that attaches to the vents where your aircon comes from. e.g. middle of car or on drivers side by window. so it's hiding from public and not IN YO FACE when driving :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
Wow I'm glad to see you are making a car dock for the Note II. I'm deciding between the Note II and the S3, and your dock was the main one I was looking at for the S3, and was hoping there would be a good one for the Note II as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skee^:
Liked the S3 version but still as ive read earlier Portrait mode is better in car, i always use portrait mode, and i also think you can do a fixed usb when in portrait cause then its centered when standing, also reducing stress on the usb port when putting in the charger all the time..

when in portrait, holder could also be more slimmer. personally i would like a vent holder since it wont disturb my view out.

Qi wireless charing would be a blast since i only would have to put it in the holder and my car already have Bluetooth. i would pay extra for that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sistum Id:
What? :confused: Do you even own the iBolt dock for the GS3?

Anyways, I think the GS3 iBolt dock is awesome. I think I read this dock is made mostly to be placed on the left side of the steering wheel in landscape. This is where my past docks go and is where I think it's at it's best. I would say remove the charging LED to help reduce production cost. Everything else is great.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Masterface7:
Fixed position that works with the naked phone. If it takes on holding cases it will have to much a overly big look.

I am not sure about wireless charing, I do not know how big of a gap that means there can be between the device and the source providing wireless power.

I definitely like car mode for the simple reason that is locks my phone screen on so i don't have to fumble with it when i need to use it while driving.

I personally don't use an aux out and do everything through bluetooth so I don't care for aux-out through usb.

I currently use the samsung made gs2 epic 4g touch car dock and i really like the fact that it covers pretty much 0% or the screen and it doesn't have anything that sticks out past the screen.

For me being as minimal as possible is what i look for and while still providing stiff support.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
I read some people's reviews and comments saying for the S3, the power button can get knocked when driving. Is this common, or is there a way to prevent this?

Is this a problem with the Note 2, or could it maybe lay landscape the other way so the power is on the top? But then I guess you won't have access to volume controls...

Doesn't matter I guess, as this issue is probably resolved by using a case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twospirits:
The issue i have with car docks, desktop docks etc and the current Note 1 (which would probably happen with the Note 2) is that you can't really place them in the dock if they have the official Samsung Folio cover. One has to remove the back cover/Folio so they can be place in the dock.

TS
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChrisEmerson:
I'd way prefer the fixed charging - I hate having to fiddle around with cables once I've put the phone in. I want to be able to just slide the phone in and have it just connect. Whether that means wireless charging or a fixed position charger doesn't matter to me though. I don't really use cases with my phones so it doesn't matter too much to me, but agree it would just add bulk to the holder if it needed to accommodate them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Beamen1:
Nice. The docking station for the S3 looked great. I want one for the Note II NOW! :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
I think so too. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DebtMarkets:
Wireless charging would be awesome! One less thing to plug in when I dock the phone. Another feature that would be perfect would be the ability to rotate the device portrait or landscape.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] imobileface:
completely agree with you
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
audio out through the micro usb port is a must, but my car plugs into the 3.5mm port on the phone/whatever instead of the other way around, I'd like to not have to get a 3.5mm female - female adapter to use it in my car.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drexappeal:
The dock absolutely MUST be designed similar to how the htc evo lte dock is set up. The thing that isn't as appealing with the sgs3 dock is that you have to plug the micro-usb connector in all the time. The best part of having a vehicle dock is being able to place the phone in the dock and go. Also, having a 3.5 jack that can output via adaptor spliced with the micro-usb connector is a must have. Obviously, it'd be ideal to also design it to accommodate those that use cases

2 car docks you can take cues from would be the original note dock and the motorola docks. Please make it happen.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

The trickiest part would be creating a dock that meshes what you did for the HTC Evo LTE dock and the Galaxy S3.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

For examples, here is the Motorola Razr Maxx Vehicle Dock:

http://media.tecca.com/2012/04/14/m...maxx-xt912m-mobile-phones-angleimage-320w.jpg

The original Note vehicle dock:

http://i2.expansys.com/img/b/224728/samsung-original-vehicle-dock-kit-for-galaxy-note-5-3.jpg

3.5mm audio adaptor/USB charger that would plug into the back of the dock and into the usb slot of a car charger

http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...icle-Docks/m-Custom-Audio-Cable,en_US,pd.html

Now, take those concepts, add the ability to use with/without a case, and that would be the perfect dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rph10319:
Hello MikaelPe...i have a sugestion for iBolt...once you have the final shape of your cradle, start posting picture both here and on your official site how fast you can, even if the product is not yet on sale. That is better for your future sale, helping you to not lose customers who waiting for your product and who trust in your product much then other manufacturers. I hope you do not mind with this suggestion.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Suggestions are always good! The only reason for not posting images and product specs early on is that we need to file applicable utility and design patents here, in Europe and especially in China before showing the products. If not, we would surely have an exact copy showing up on eBay and Amazon immediately. Hope that makes sense? Thanks again for input...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] schale01:
Yeah not wanting people to steal your design makes sense. I'm still anxiously awaiting the release of this cardock. Our stores currently don't have any cardocks available to sell for the Note II, not to mention that I need one for my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kbrn:
:D:D OMG!! I was hoping for you guys to make a real nice Car Dock for the Galaxy Note 2, I purchased the one you guys made for the htc EVO LTE and I love it!

Please Hurry cause I can't be without a car dock anymore. :)

Also please make sure that if the dock is going to support at least the Otterbox commuter case don't make it like the htc EVO LTE one which you have to modify the case (cut the micro usb protector) fo fit the phone into the dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rph10319:
Thanks...that is all i can say... I waiting you to do all you need. After that, I will do all I need...Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
This isn't an issue for me since I won't use the wireless charging anyway (too slow for my liking) but judging by this, if you want wireless charging the best thing to do is either wait for the 2nd half of 2013 or end up buying 2 docks? Not a great solution either way...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] serpa4:
Guess I'll pass.

Well, if it's going to be a lose USB cable like the S3, thanks but guess I'll pass. If you have to plug in a cable, what is the difference between that and a non-powered mount where you have to plug in the cable? Honest question. I have an adjustable generic one that mounts easily with one hand and do not have to adjust the width to insert or remove it. Just need to press it in gently taking a whole 1 second. The annoying part is plugging in the USB cable every single time. If iBolt does the same, well, not much reason to upgrade over my current $19.99 one.

Well, thanks for trying.

I understand wanting to fit the large cases, but from looking around, they are not the majority.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
I personally like how the cable is affixed to the dock. The cable is always oriented the right way making the connection easier.

You're right though, if you already have a dock you like, it wouldn't be worth the upgrade.

The ibolt also comes with usb/aux splitter. So if/written samsung enables the feature, you already have the cable to use.

Actually, I'm not sure about the last bit. Ibolt may have deferred that since samsung doesn't support the feature yet.

swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ScandaLeX:
Thanks Mikael for the update. I've been following this closely and I can't stress enough how uncomfortable I am using my phone without a dock. Most times I just leave it on the seat for fear of fumbling and doing it.

Here's hoping the release is VERY SOON.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AbrahamWalker:
Will we be able pass sound through the micro usb cable? If so, is there a way to purchase this cable without purchasing the unit?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] serpa4:
Can't the USB plug in the mount be spring loaded and stick up a bit higher to accommodate the thickness of cases like the Samsung Smart Dock? Then, when there is no case, the USB lightly bottoms out in the device and retracts under spring pressure thus fitting with and without a case.

Take a look at this youtube video for what I'm talking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLDb_0SeEYo
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TwiztedIndian:
Is the wireless charging going to be an "add-on" for the first dock or a completely different requiring the purchase of a second dock? I ask because if its and add-on I will likely buy the dock when it comes out later this month... Otherwise, I will probably be waiting...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChrisEmerson:
If I have to plug in a cable every time that completely defeats the point of the one handed operation - I'll be passing on this if that is the case. What a shame.

Chris
