[Nexus 4 Android Development] fatjoejr2001:
Is it possible on T-Mobile NYC to get LTE working on the update that will possibly be released today (Saturday)? Obviously, I know on 4.2.2 you have to downgrade to baseband .33 and also curious if the update will have the bottom screen unresponsiveness fixed, quick pulldown bar (similar to latest Vertigo mod) and tweaks on awesome beats to make activating/using more simplicit? Thanks and I look forward to the update.

Correction: Saturday passed and still no update :-/

i came from Htc one X and i was using kidigi car mount, and was nice because i just need to "dock" in the mount no need to "plug" the wire like in universal mount. i read here about wireless car charger but not sure, its kind expensive and im kind temted for htc one (and this phone does not have wireless charging capabilities) so im not sure if i should buy. i was thinking something like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110978510653&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

i heard about clingo but not sure how many "uses" you need before the need for wash. so anyone knows a good car mount? should i buy for n4 or universal? if you had a link would be nice (ebay ) because amazon its to expensive to my country =X

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
I always go universal, personally. Because I can probably use the same mount down the road or my wife's phone can fit in it as well. The one you listed is good but also I like the iottie universal mounts as well.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/iOttie-Easy...716445?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27cf4df1dd

These have the "gel" cups rather than the plain suction cups that easily warp in the hot sun. The gel pads are really sticky like the clingo, but the suction cup can be wiped clean with a damp lint free cloth to reconstitute the adhesive gel it uses. I use two different car mounts.

One is the Kropsson Aero which fits both my N7 (naked) and N4. I since cut the cushion pads down so that I can use it with my N7 with the Seidio Active case on lol.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AER-jumiss-...040?pt=GPS_Holders_Mounts&hash=item4605c94078

And my second go to mount is mainly for my N7, the Xenomix NX2000 because even though I can use the above kropsson, the N7 does slightly obstruct my view. This Xenomix hangs off the dash a bit and keeps the N7 out of sight and I can clearly see out. Another 'good' thing is that I can use this with my N4 as well. I say "good" because you can't charge the phone while using this, the ports are covered lol.

thanks a lot, i will check aereo seems nice and the price its cool as well, the only thing i need check on my car its since i had long legs i usally put my seat a little far from dash (and the dash its kind far away by car model :S) the aero can stick on the wind and dash? imean i can put into the dash and then the wind and the again in the dash without problems? just cleaning the gel?

Thanks a lot i really apreciate
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
The Aero is not meant to be placed on the windshield. In that respect look for the iottie's with the cushioned grips that can do both windshield and dash.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/iOttie-Easy...686615?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a00ef857

This is the "one touch" mounts. Where you just press the phone back slightly will release the grips. This is similar to the Aero I have. I just don't like putting suction cups on my windshield. :)

Best car mount?

If you want the best, be prepared to pay for the best.

http://www.proclipusa.com/

Look up the different DEVICE holder for the Nexus 4.

Look to find a mount suited for your VEHICLE.

I got the swivel mount for my accord and it came up to about $80. It's a bit on the pricier side, but these are truly the BEST mounts you will ever use, hands down.

Regards,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knolly:
100% agree that Proclip (US name for Brodit) are the best mounts you can get. They're pricey but worth it.

I'm actually looking to sell my Nexus 4 mount with integrated charger, so shoot me a PM if you're interested in a bit of a cheaper price (you'll still need the vehicle plate). I'm only getting rid of mine since I've started using a case for my phone instead of going naked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
They are nice, my issue is that if I need a mount for my car and I can simply move from car to car without worry if the proclip will fit. From my understanding proclips fit a specific car model. So not really universal when you can use it in one model of a vehicle. So I'll need to buy two of these mounts to make it work and while worthwhile in the long run, 1. Is too expensive, 2. and what if I need to buy a new/different car for whatever reason?

And can you use different cases with these mounts? I see the one that can fit "some cases" but there's a limit there. A 40 plus 30 clip for each car, makes it about $140usd to be used each car.

Those factors alone, keep "ME" from buying it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen kun:
seems like the phones, new phones new cases and accs xD but yeah they are specific as far i see. iOttie seems good pick :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knolly:
They have a system to swap the mount from car-to-car but you'll still need the car specific mount in each car, so if you're constantly swapping they don't really make sense.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
I'm using the Mountek mount that goes inside the CD drive. I don't use CD's anymore so it doesn't get in my way. I think it's a little pricey but totally worth it. Depending on your console it may get in the way of some of your buttons which it doesn't on my car. Also, some cars (such as my grandma's) have the CD slot lower in the console and the phone would be too low for me.

Mountek nGroove

I almost went with the Exogear Exomount 2 but I didn't think it would stick to my dashboard since it's textured and contoured a bit.

Exogear Exomount 2

I use the mount for maps and with a OBD2 Adapter. Now I just need the Jabra Cruiser 2 to go on sale so I can have a complete setup.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen kun:
yeah i was looking something like this on CD because my ibiza has too far the dashboard and it has inclined surface, seems the best its wind screen or CD, something that i want to know its "privacy" in middle of my car if a wild message appear or something i dont like people look at it. so its any way to move a little to my side?? (not talking abot 360 degrees) more like turn the holder to my side. i hope its clear this

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
It doesn't slide but there is a considerable amount of tilt. You wouldn't be able to hide it from someone in the back seat but the person in the passenger seat would have to move in order to look at the screen. Again, this probably depends on how your console is set up, mine is dead center.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen kun:
im interested in passenger mainly :) thanks i will take a look seems its nice spot. when driving you had problems idk calling,waze and so on? watching the phone instead wind screen?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
The phone is at a perfect height for me. For maps I don't look at the screen very often because the turn by turn directions are enough most of the time. Calls are not perfect with the speaker phone or with voice commands (I have to scream to the phone) that's why I need to buy a bluetooth speaker phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
I have a similar setup in my Truck. I have a JVC head unit that has an external AUX port where my HTC Car Stereo stick goes to stream stuff from my N4 or N7. Use either Aero or Xenomix mount for my device, or none at all and to answer any calls, I use a Parrot Minikit Neo. This little guy goes to deep sleep and wakes up when the door opens or closes and I customized it with a greeting and signing off greeting which greets my 4 yr old when we get in the truck. She loves it lol.

ProClip is just ridiculously expensive.

Hate my cup holder mount (for my old plain cell phone) because it leaves me no cup holder to hold my drinks. How am going to drink and drive while texting:D

I am really interested in the Mountek as I have never used the CD player, but it is not certified to work with the 2008 Honda Accord, and as users explain, the radio button gets in the way. Others complain that it is not adjustable for view angle.

I think I am going with the very popular iOttie, although some complain of it shaking while hitting bumps in the road:

Probably this model because I am looking for a large case for the phone (Eventually Otter Defender if it ever happens). Even though it is for a Galaxy Note, I see people have successfully used the Nexus 4 with a case:

I made my own and its fantastic. Essentially its a plate of like 30 magnets sprayed with rubberized undercoating. It holds the phone amazingly well.

I skimmed this thread and I didn't see anyone mention it, but I'm using the Samsung Infuse dock with my Nexus 4. Fits perfect, and charge port works. I had to solder it to get the charge to be at AC level instead of USB, but it works great! Won't fit with a case though, which is just fine for me since I prefer my phone naked.

You can get it for $20 on Amazon.

Same here, the only thing that has me a hair worried is the bulk of the charger plug, the lighter on my car is a bit recessed into the ashtray area and it might be a little snug. Although I do like the pass through USB for a second phone but I doubt that with two devices it could provide enough power to keep up with GPS, Bluetooth audio and screen on all at once.

I have a dual one now and it can only provide 500ma to each device, that just slows the drain when using GPS (I use bluetooth all the time, my phone is my stereo as well).

I've seen some dual USB chargers that have one port that is 2 amps. I am going to assume (because it would be ideal) one of them is.

That looks really handy. I especially like the location of the mount where it won't obstruct much of your windshield area.

Does the charge port fit snug with the Nexus 4? Is there space at the back of the phone to the car dock?

Also, what did you have to modify to get the charge to be at AC level?

i got Xenomix SHG-S5000. im very happy with it! really easy to install and detach - using a lever instead of a knob. i love the one hand operation - phone goes in and out with one hand easily! up, down and rotating function is also great to have when those times you just need the phone tilted right! :p the mount can also be installed either way - the lever on top or the lever at the bottom. whatever is ideal for you!

i highly recommend it for people looking for a non dash/windshield mount that rotates and is universal (motorola x phone/nexus 5 anyone? :p)! it came with 3 cd slot adapters but i just use it 'as is' on my subaru forester '10. also, it doesn't block the charging and audio ports.

I never saw this thread until now. I usually don't do on-line product reviews... but I hope the guy sells millions of these things, before too many copy-cats are out there.

I also bought 2 Mountek CD slot mounts a month ago, one for me and one for my wife (both Nexus 4). We're both very happy with them. I imagine the mounts will still be used long after the Nexus 4s are long gone.

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroove-Universal-Mount-Black/dp/B004G1L52Q

When I was shopping(looking through hundreds of products on Amazon), I simply hated all of them. I don't want to have to move my eyes much to get a look at the phone, and it needs to be within easy reaching distance. Windshield mounting creates blind spots, on your freaking windshield!. I don't want to stick something on the dash board with adhesives. Suction cups are retarded. Vent mounts... ugh. And I hate working on car interiors (for those custom mounts that require taking the dash board apart... and then take it apart again if I get a different car... or if I get a different phone).

I just kept thinking "That's a stupid way of going about mounting a phone in the car... there must be something better...there HAS to be." I just kept going through the products.

Finally, I saw the Mountek CD slot mount. I said, "gimme two of them." And as it turns out, it is the highest rated mount on Amazon... why did it take so long to find it?

I did modify the bottom bracket on mine because I have a thick case on my phone, and the charging port was partially obstructed. I could plug it it in, but it put a little stress on the plug. I just clipped the bracket to remove the middle of the horizontal cross bar with some cutters. Then filed it to round round off any sharp points. That took about 60 seconds to do. (see the close up picture).

My wife's phone has a thinner case, and it needed no modification. Plugging in the charger works perfectly out of the box.

100% satisfied. Good Job, Mountek dude.
