Best advice I ever got, was to leave your glove box empty and open when parked up, so thieves know there is no point breaking in to look. Although I guess some may still want to look under your seats, but less likely. And when reasonable remove the mount to draw less attention to your vehicle in the first place.

In terms of placement, it's the same in the UK as having chips in your windscreen, they must not block any part of your view ahead of the road, there fore keep it low and off to one side. If Galt was pulled over in the UK with his setup as shown in his pics, a more jobsworth policeman may have a go, the suction cup should be lower, and the screen deffinately not open like that, it makes the whole thing too high, if you want the keyboard, try and make it more horizontal and bring the overall size of the device down. Note a particularly miserable copper may want to know why you need the keyboard open at all, as using it while moving would be very questionable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] stickeresq:
Hit the nail on the head there Gajet. For full clarification have a look at the highway code:

Use of mobile phones etc

and this external view of the viewing zone:

mind you, I located it there for both anti-theft reasons and also as I navigate by the voices and seldom use the screen apart from a quick glance to check ETA. Also this photo only reflects the location of the bracket as I normally use it with the screen rotated in either portrait mode or landscape sans keyboard. Touch screen does the trick when in the car!

I ordered the Active holder from Clove this week and it arrived on Friday. It does have the left speaker cutout, but I think I got a faulty one. I plugged the car chager in and the fuse blew. I know it's not my car with the fault because I have been using another car charger for the JasJar for a long while now, and a charger for my GPS too and they are both fine. I went and bought some new fuses from Halfords, and they also went bang.

I phoned Clove and will be returning the holder tomorrow for a replacement, but I have also just discovered that it seems to have broken my JasJar too. It won't charge on my normal charger any more, or the other car charger. So now I have to send it in for repairs.

:( Very unhappy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] patrickl:
Did someone else notice that charging does not commence when you plug it in when the PDA is running? I need to switch mine off, wait for the orange light to come up and then I can switch it back on. Otherwise it just does not charge.

I thought my car charger didn't supply enough power since after using it for navigation I would arrive with a dead battery. Turns out the damned thing just wasn't charging.

Not sure if this is a defect or if it's by design. I guess now I know it's something I can live with, but it sure gave me a heart attack when I arrived at my destination and I was faced with a flat battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] bryson:
hi,

do the charging issues relate to the Brodit active cradle 968649 or just a cig lighter cable bought from elswhere? I would really like to know so i can be aware for any of my own customers (and advise back here too) and raise this issue with Brodit if it is their cradle charger

Thanks

Bryson
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] LinuxGeek:
I have the Brodit active holder and I do NOT get the problem.

With my XDA EXEC on I plug the charger into the cigrette lighter of my car and charging begins straight away
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] patrickl:
I have this problem with every charger. Even with the wall charger supplied with the unit. When the PDA is on and I hook it on to the charger the led doesn't change to orange. Switch it off and in a few seconds it's orange.

I have seen other people complain about chargers not working, but I didn't think much off it at the time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BoSJo:
I got the Brodit Holder, no charging problems here what so ever
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] rollerxda:
I recieved my Brodit Active Holder this morning, easy to install. Seems to be charging, as Orange light is showing.

One thing though, it seems to be a tough plastic holder that you just slip the universal into.

I was just wondering, if it is going to rub a mark onto the sides of the universal over a long period of time ?

Does anyone have any experience of marking due to repeated use of the brodit holder. ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] pointything:
Hi There,

Just found a nice active car holder with power for Tomtom and amplified speaker at

http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=A111U2CRIJASMNT&cat=126

Haven't received it yet but will put up a short review when I do.

Looks very nice, only downside is that keyboard is not accessible

Cheers

Pointy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] stickeresq:
Pointy,

it's not like the keyboard is useful whilst paying full attention to driving though is it?

Looks a nice holder, albeit the slow refresh rate of the exec in landscape mode whilst running TTN5.21 may get a bit tedious after a wee while!?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gratz:
I've been looking for a PDA and GPS receiver car mount, so far the best one appears to be: http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DMNTRIK

Anyone come across some others? Specifically ones for XDA Executive and Holux GPSlim 236.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Anton.Valleyman:
Other than the old favourite Brodit grips and mounts...

www.dsldevelopments.co.uk is a dedicated Brodit distributor.

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Gajet:
Pointything, did your cradle arrive yet? That one from Pdamods is my intended favourite as I like an amplified speaker on my mounts, but my current one with gripping arms has difficulty with the weight of the universal in Landscape mode.

BTW The screen refresh is fine for me, but then I don't have any POI's displayed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] pointything:
Not yet, but I didn't pay the extra for the express shipping (£9.99!!!!)

Review when I get it

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] captainsensible2002:
pointything, hope you get it ok. I ordered one of these from www.gpsforless.co.uk who were quoting that they had 10 plus in stock - they then told me (only when I asked where it was!) that they were having trouble receiving them from their supplier, and they said there was only 1 supplier importing these into the UK! I cancelled my order with them, as I felt them quoting that they had stock was a blatant lie, and amounted to sharp practice. Alternatively, there is a guy on Ebay that sells them, who reckons he has plenty available...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] richardkingsley:
Hi, Am i being silly but is the brodit active holder just the same as the passive holder but with the mini usb to cigarette lighter cable?

Thanks

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] bryson:
Hi,

Yes thats right, the active holder has the charger built into it and the passive has no charger at all, just a holder,

Thanks!

Has anyone received this mount:

http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3091

and would like to commend on the quality of it?

I am looking for an active mount (to charge TomTom) too and this seems to fit the bill. I don't need a powered speaker so would prefer a thinner mount - but this seems the best so far. However, I need a very short (2 inch MAX) window mount otherwise it won't fit my car. The official TomTom One mount is perfect (see here - http://www.tomtom.com/products/accessory.php?ID=152&Product=143&Category=&Context=1&Language=1&Tab=0), but these long plastic-neck mounts are just far too long.

I really want the TomTom One suction bit but with the Exec holder on the end! Would the mount above fit the TomTom suction mount?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] page3:
To answer my own post http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=XTTRCMNT&cat=23 seems that it would do the job. It does make the mount around £60 though :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] captainsensible2002:
I have that mount and it is excellent. I got it from Ebay plus the cable to charge my gps receiver from it. It is quite bulky and I am pretty certain you couldn't use it it with the tomtom mount as its an all in unit. I would recommend it though - that's a good price too; if it doesn't fit you could probably get your money back on ebay if gpsforless wouldn't take it back.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dagan:
I ordered the Exec car holder from PDA mods on Monday night and it arrived yesterday.

Quite impressed with it so far. Especially since my one came with this mount - http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=XTTRCMNT&cat=23

I had assumed I would be getting a flexible arm.

Also to make me smile I found this cable was included too - http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=XTTRJ11DC&cat=23

Phone fits very tight so in theory it could be mounted portrait style and it wouldn't fall out.

Amplification speaker seems of a good quality. A little tinny if you try to play music over it, but thats expected.

First time buying from PDA mods and I'm impressed with the speed of delivery, so I will be using them again.

I'll try get some photos if anyone wants.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
Hi All,

I also decided on the one from PDA Mods, however I have 2 issues.

1) They only sent me the sucktion mount and did not include the vent and dash mount as advertised in there site (I have emailed them about this, waiting for reply)

2) There appears to be a major design fault, when the universal is in the mount the Green and Red Phone buttons touch the base of the cradle. So somtimes when you go over a bump of touching the universal while in the cradle, it then puts pressure on those buttons which are touching the base of the cradle, and often causes the phone to start dialling numbers. Very annoying.

I am going to have to stick in a layer of thin rubber or something on the base of the cradle and leave 2 holes so that the buttons affected have clearence, and therefore proping up the universal slightly.

Anyone else have this issue?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gunigugu:
guinevere, Which mount did you get from PDAMods? As they do seem to have a few for sale..

What I would like is a mount, that will let me keep my phone still in it's silicon case, and also, something neat, so i can keep my holux gps, nearby or something, with cables out of the way...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
I got the Tomtom specific one, the one that has the built in speaker.

Everything else is great, apart from those to issues, well the second one almost makes it unusable as is.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gunigugu:
That tom tom specific one, is their room for like a thin silicon case like??

I've seen it, and i do like it... but im not in the mood for taking on/off the cases...

Also, do you have to attach the power and speaker cable, each time you attach the mount?

I would like to feed like a cable from my headunit upto the phone, so when i listen to music, it comes tru the speakers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] calvin42:
I use the tom tom car kit for some days now and I am very happy with it. The only thing that is somehow 'bad' is the internal speaker. It catches noise from the GSM Module like a very cheap radio...

The mini USB cable is attached automatically the speaker cable not.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gunigugu:
Is there room for like a silicon case?

and is there any room, to like alternate between audio cables? Because sometimes, i wouldn't mind using the attached speaker, but other times, i would like to play music, i would like to attach the cable from my headunit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
Nope definently no room for a silicone case.

So who here works for PDAMODS ? must be someone,

I have sent emails to them and recieved read reciepts so I know they have read my emails, but still they have not replyed to me about not sending me all three mounting methods.

Also has anyone else notice the issue about the call button been pressed while fited in the holder?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
Well its been more than a week, and I have sent numerous emails to PDAMODS, and I know then have read them because I have recieved return read reciepts.....doesnt look like they are going to send me everything they promised....BE WARNED
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
Well finally got the other items for mounting....I think I understand why they diddnt send then to me....BECAUSE THEY WHERE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.....the vent mount is totally useless.

They is also definently a design floor with it....I ended up putting a layer of sticky tape in the base of the houlder leaving space between it and the phone buttons so that they dont get pressed whist in the holder.

Overall....I think this holder is the best option due to the speaker, however when the speaker is plugged in you cant take or make calles because it seams to deactivate the mic.....

Hopefully someone will manufacture something thats works like it should one day......
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] oink1:
That's handy to know - I had one of these mounts for my 6680 and was very pleased/going to order one for my m5000, If you can't make/recieve calls while it's in the mount though, it's about as much use as a chocolate tea pot! :evil:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] guinevere:
If you dont plug in the speaker then its just like any other Uni car holder, you use the Uni speakers for sound.

What I do is use bluetooth head set....but then you seem to loose your GPS signal while on the phone....lol.....but perhaps theres a way around this...not sure?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
I wanted to see how many of you are seeing this issue.. When attempting to bill Play Store purchases to my T-Mobile account, the Play Store says "Verifying your account with your mobile service provider" and just sits there trying to confirm the account for about 20 or 30 seconds, then gives the error message "Unable to verify your account - please try again later".

According to T-Mobile tech support, they are starting to hear multiple complaints on this issue and they have submitted the problem to Google. Supposedly it will take 3-4 days for resolution (that is what I was told yesterday by T-Mobile tech support).

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Malware on S9500 at time of shipment!

Hello, I bought my S9500 in Dec-2013. I installed AVG and was immediately warned that OperaService was malware. I thought this cannot be true and ignored the warning. Recently it has been reported that the Star N9500 has been proven to ship with Malware. I have been in touch with G-Data (the company that reported on the N9500), they are almost certain that my phone, S9500 was shipped with Malware installed at the factory.

Bummer, it is a great phone for the money.

So, I got my money back from Amazon, and I think I get to keep the phone. Score!!!

My question (note that I'm new to digging into phones).

If I root the phone, will I be able to remove the OperaService (cannot remove it right now as phone is NOT rooted). I don't care about support anymore, that has obviously gone...

I understand that I may ruin the phone. But with advice from the Forum, I hope to keep it at give it to my daughter.

FYI, I replaced the S9500 with a Nexus 5. Wow, what a great device.
[Android General] Diomorgan:
HEllo, just the 3 most important points on chinaphones:

1-Flash Led Power (Compare with another phone if you can, a samsung, an iphone or eben a huawey)

2-Loudspeaker for music/handfree phonecalls

3-GPS (maybe after a root and GPSFix, since 99%of chinaphones are setted on chinese GPS server)

Thank you very much.

I should add that now that you can find a Samsung 3 Neo for €170 I don't know if I would pay more than €100 for this phone :(
