Glad I could help. I think a lot of people see a magnet affecting a compass, but completely forget that GPS relies solely on satellite tracking (maybe the whole thing with it still showing you moving if you're in a tunnel may involve the compass, but I'm not sure). I'll use it again on my way home from work today, but it hasn't had a problem yet.

Honestly, though, don't think there are really any other mounts that are as convenient or compact as the iMagnet, and with an excellent suction cup.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
If you're willing to test, I think a good way to see what effect it has if any is to just open maps and drive without telling it where you're going. See if the map keeps your current direction properly and accounts for turns. Holding my phone in my hand I can open maps and walk around my house and it knows which direction I'm facing, would be interested to see if the magnet impacts that ability or not (I kind of think it will but am really interested to see what actually happens).

Nice setup, I'm definitely going to show this to my friend who has the same generation of Mazda 6. Also, that Deltron Event II is one hell of an album. Thanks for the post.

Hey guys, I'm back with a slighly new car mount. TechMatte graciously sent me a car mount on them to review. I like it more than my Arkon and it's now what I'm using as a daily driver (pun intended).

I connect my phone to my car stereo via bluetooth and have resolved to not having a charger built in to my car dock solution (for now).

I like the TechMatte more than the Arkon for several reasons:

1. Less of the screen is obscured by the mounting arms

2. More positionable

3. Uses 2 tightening nuts which will not wear out like the Arkon's tension based ball/socket

4. The suction cup and lever seems MUCH more robust and secure

Here's some pictures:

Here's the product link:

http://amzn.to/1egP1ew

Lastly, as I think I pointed out before, the screen on the Nexus 5 is polarized (differently from the N4 I might add) so I cannot use the phone in landscape when wearing polarized sunglasses (hence the now portrait mount).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Wondering if there's enough gap in there for a qi puck to slide in behind the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dispatch:
Never say never, and I haven't measured, but I'm virtually certain it would not fit. Looking at the thickness of, say, the WCP300, it looks too thick.

The N5 is ~8.6mm and the thinnest qi pucks I see are around 11.5mm. My non-scientific measurement of the depth of the mounting arms is around 15mm. If you did manage to affix a qi puck I don't think you'd have enough room to put any phone in, especially with a case.

I don't think there is anyway you'd get that to work, and I think you'd be better off trying something else if you need charging (e.g. the proclip mount when it becomes available).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Just curious, your picture was good, but not at an angle to see how well it would work. Thanks bud.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] elementaldragon:
While it DOES seem to affect the overall ACCURACY of the compass (especially when maps is launched after putting the phone on the dock), it does still function as you'd expect. If you start up Maps or something and then place the phone on the magnetic dock, it seems to be just a couple degrees off as to the direction you are going, but still points in the same general direction. Should have a TPU case coming someday soon. Maybe with a case, getting the phone a BIT further from the magnet, it might not have as much of an impact on the accuracy. Won't know until i can try it, though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Cool test man, appreciate you trying it. Always interesting to learn a few more finer points/details about how it all works and ties together.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mZimm:
Has anyone used any of the Tetrax mounts? The XWay looks particularly tempting to me, I just can't decide if I'd rather have something that snaps around the phone or something stuck on the back for a secure magnetic mount.

http://www.tetrax.com/us/products/xway-line
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RedWingsFan:
I used the Xway on my HTC EVO 4G LTE and it worked very well. The adhesive on the back of the metal piece that goes on your device/case wasn't good enough so I ended up using JB Weld.

I always use a case and wanted a more flush install. So I mounted the metal piece to the back of the phone. Then I drilled a hole in my TPU case so the metal piece was exposed and pretty much stood flush with the case. So when you set the phone on a table it wasn't wobbling around.

I loved the clean look of the XWAY mount on the vent. And when the phone wasn't on the mount there wasn't one of those ugly mounts sitting there. Just the small xway attached to the vent.

I don't require a car mount like I did before so with the N5 I'm thinking of just buying another case and mounting the metal piece to that. Then I'll just swap cases when I do need a car mount.

My set up that I just finished, Is an lg puck, magnets gorilla glued to it. Then double side sticky taped to my volume knob, which conveniently rotates. On the magnets, I used the material off of the bottom of a palm charger. Not sure who mentioned that in a thread, but it was a great idea
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wayfaast:
I'm using the ngroove snap. Just found this out but the N5 has magnets around the charging coil so you don't need the metal plate anywhere. And... No more wireless charging interference. :)

Does anyone know if the Smart Fit2 (the wcp 300 car mount) uses a 17mm ball, so that I would use it with other standard gps ect mounts?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
i used this one (from an italian seller on ebay) for my old p990, i asked them and they're going to sell the n5 version next week, so i'm only going to change the craddle of my current mount.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
Just a note, I would highly, highly recommend people do not rely on the magnets to hold the phone up. Shearing force from the car hitting a pothole will almost always pull it right off the dock. You want to see this force in action? Put it on the magnets, hold the dock so the phone is vertical, then give it a good tap on the top of the phone straight down. It will either slide or come right off. A dock that may look solid actually isn't because of these shearing forces.

I've even tested similar methods using the Palm Pre's touchstone chargers. The Pre was much smaller and lighter than the Nexus 5 and even it managed to come off the charger regularly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] return0:
Rare earth magnets + the rubbery material they use for dash pads = not a problem
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
Considering you can separate industrial-grade rare earth magnets with basic shearing force, I don't see what makes you think a "stronger" magnet will matter. You're not trying to pull the phone off the dock, you're trying to keep it from sliding down off of it from shearing force. Keep in mind this sort of force is very different. You could have magnets so strong that you physically cannot separate them by pulling on them. But you COULD slide them off each other with relative ease. That's shearing force, and that's what makes magnetic docks a bad idea.

Besides, the touchstone charger featured both of those things.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] darkamikaze:
I've been using magnet + phone combo for awhile now. (Steelie and then nGroove) so far no issue with bumping off on potholes and what not. I even have a case currently on top of my phone when mounted on the nGroove (without their metal shield that's suppose to attach on the phone).

Perhaps I've been lucky but it works pretty well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] return0:
I'm familiar with magnets and the difference between shearing force and pulling force. You can solve the shearing force problem with the sticky dash pad material. Try setting your phone on one of those and sliding it without it jumping off of the material. Add some magnets to pull it tight against the sticky material and it should be more than enough.

The touchstone charger wasn't built with magnets that were meant to be strong enough to hold it in a car. However I can tell you (since I actually have them in front of me) that these magnets should be plenty solid when combined with material from a sticky dash pad against the soft touch back of the N5. I'll be doing AWD launch and speedbump/offroad tests when I get my dock put together. I'll post back here with the results as soon as I source a Qi charger and put the pieces together.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] strongergravity:
I put an LG 300 puck in the middle of my X-mount with velcro. I put it offset toward the top so the volume buttons end up above the arm & it will still charge. It works flawlessly. I also bent the arms a little so it would grip the phone a little better.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] plee3:
Did you stack more than 1 magnet to increase the pull of the Nexus 5 to the LG charger?

If you did, how many magnets did you use?

Thanks for any info... plee3
[Nexus 5 Accessories] imstill@g:
No sir, just 4. I did give some thought to investing them into the puck, that way I'd make it look better, but in the end I just wanted it up. I may buy one in order to stack stronger magnets and imbed them into the puck in order to use a case on my phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] plee3:
Thanks for the reply.

How strongly does the Nexus 5 attach to the charger with only 4 magnets?

If you are getting a case, I suggest gluing 4 more magnets inside the case to increase the the pull between the phone and charger

In fact, I was thinking about replacing the 4 metal plates in the phone with 4 magnets to also increase the pull.

This is what I did with my Palm Pre Touchstone conversion of my Galaxy Nexus with the 8 magnets on the battery door.

The magnets held onto the Touchstone pretty well and rarely fell off (mostly by me knocking it off by accident).

Thanks again... plee3

Well to give you an idea, I ran a road test today, 6 speed manual Honda accord entering freeway about 20 to 75mph through an s turn on ramp. No give our worry at all. I've hit railroad tracks hard intentionally, no issue. The rubber from the bottom of a pretty charger, is what your see in the middle. It does wonders.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] frigidazzi:
No. But I got one for ten bucks back when they first came out and promoted it. I just didn't have good luck with it on my n4. But the n5 wireless charging in car has been more tolerable for me. I just don't like mounting it on the dash Or window. The cd slot was closer for me, which I liked.

Hopefully these will either come down in price or someone else will sell them for for a reasonable amount. Meanwhile, I got the Koolpuck charger and really like it so I am going to try some other mounts and see if I can find an alternative.

you cannot wipe data to EXT 4 on a gingerbread ROM, the speedmod kernel is used to recover your internal SD card when it becomes unusable due to lag fix in the first instance , so wiping after flashing a gingerbread ROM that uses only RFS and cannot use EXT4, is pretty useless.

second, you should format your SD card first before partitioning it. ( it looks like you have some files on it)

Note you can even make a third partition to act as the External SD card ( also primary and fat 32)

If it still fail's to function after flashing the WF07 ROM instead of flashing the speedmod kernel follow this and flash the Jelly bean ROM, to see if you can get it functioning.

Hi guys,

I have noticed in the dark when using my note 3 in the settings menu the bottom portion of my screen seems to be grey not black. At first I thought maybe this was a software issue so I took a screen shot and zoomed in. When viewing the photo zoomed in the entire screen is grey ish with lines (normal lines had on all amoled screens) When moving the image the greyness does not move which to me says its the screen. However! When using a pixel tester and putting a pure black picture up the screen is perfectly black.

Ideas or thoughts?

Hi, i recently bought a "NILLKIN LG G2 Fresh Series Leather Case" from a vendor. Accordin to the pictures and the specs the QuickWindow feature should work, but its not... The feature is acitvated in the phones setttings but theres no reaction to the screen when i swipe in the little window. Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this? Does only the LG G2 retail accessories work proper with this feature? Are there any custom-rom features that could solve this? Cheers!
[G2 Accessories] murdoch1:
I have the LG quick window case and it works perfectly well.

On closer inspection of the case it looks like there is a circular chip embedded within the back of the front case and I guess its that chip which then enables the software on the LG G2 to display the reduced visible window area.

Therefore I guess no other cases will work unless its the official case?

Case works well

I picked up one of these cases from Amazon and can confirm it works as intended. The window shows the clock when the case is shut and then again when the power button is hit or a call comes in. The only downside I can see right now if the lack of a hole for the notification light. I plan on making a hole for the light when I get home with a hot nail.
[G2 Accessories] oct_7:
Hi,

Planning to get the same case, but having second thought. Does it bother you that the case does not have hole for the notification? BTW, is the back cover feel nice, and grippy?

Thank you,
[G2 Accessories] metapy:
The lack of a notification hole was easy to fix, I just expanded the hole for the speaker. The material is vinyl cover cardboard? so it did not melt as expected. I ended up taking a fine blade and cutting the space I wanted. This left ugly white edges so I colored it in with a marker as well as the window edges. If you have a small craft punch it would make a nice, clean hole.

The case is better in the hand than the bare phone. The back is smooth, but seems more grippy than the naked phone. I usually folder over the case when holding it so it helps with the grip as well.
[G2 Accessories] Urbanrootz:
:good: No it does not bother me at all, for some it might.......wasn't a deal breaker for me at all...The case is very grippy, nice texture to the back, I think I posted a picture with a close up of the back.

Thanks. I placed my order yesterday. Let's what I will do with LED hole. It is just weird I think that they did not consider that.
