[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pyap:
Hi all, newbie here.

I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.

Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!

I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??

Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?

I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.

Thanks!

Paul
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] test157:
did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pyap:
Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.

couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.

Looks like I'm stuck... for now.

Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.

Hope you have better luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dodstee:
Should I load the ROM??

I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pyap:
yeah, but the problem is that i cannot update the hotfixes either. so couldnt update the gps hotfix.

anyone know when / how i can flasssh my firware?

thanks.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dr.Gonz0:
So I grabbed the latest update from HTC to my buddy's 6800 a couple days ago. I ran the RUU and the flash went down without a hitch, problem is that the thing is stuck in roaming mode and when I hit 611 I will get verizon customer service instead of sprint, I flash it again and I get alltell customer service.

Anyone got any ideas why something like this would happen?

I thought that I could install the sprint carrier cab that I found here but that didn't phase it at all. Everything on the unit is still sprint branded, but the GPS isn't working and I pretty much stopped using it till I can fix it... Don't need a high bill in this economy. I've tried flashing it many times now, treating it like a game of roulette but I only get one of those two providers but not mine.

Anyone knows if car holder for the Hero is available already? Although when I think of the Hero's chin probably a magnetic holder will be the most convenient way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I'm hoping for a Brodit one (I think it's Brodit I got, the one where you have to have one part for your car specifically and the other for your phone)

I'm also waiting for the Brodit one, but the carcomm one does look good, would be interested in knowing the price though.

Brodit have gone a bit off for me, using cheap crap Cig lighters. They used to give you the option to have a hardwire version with a straight cable (neater to tuck away) rather than the curly cable with the cig adaptor

Just like the BHS200 bluetooth stereo headset...it's just a re-branded I-tech clip S35 (i think), but once it's rebranded to HTC, it's double the price of the original!!

I had contact with someone at brodit and he told me it will take an other 4-5 weeks before they release the Hero car holder.

This is due to holidays in sweden...

I bought this one the other day and it's been doing an awesome job:

It has kind of a cheap feel to it, but it fits the hero PERFECTLY and clings to the car's air vents, so it takes little space and can barely be seen when not holding the phone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] samadhi23:
still waiting for the brodit one!

I got infos!!!

After a call with BRODIT they said they are on two weeks vacation :D ... yes its true! hehe

After this they hardly work on the holder for the hero.

Just wait another week mates :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
Guess its another 2 weeks to go eh? Could really do with this, got some Car driving to do soon and could do with the charge while mounted option. Ah well
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] japher:
Looking forward to the Brodit pro-clip (once you try a pro-clip, you never go back!).

The Hero's 'chin' is going to make sliding it onto a male USB connector pretty difficult (with the strange angle I mean). I'm sure the Brodit guys can work it out though :D

There's no doubt that they are expensive, but you get what you pay for I suppose.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
Should be alright, they managed it with the Magic, it had a slight chin. Feels like waiting an eternity!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Joost39:
Still no sign of it on Brodit.com.....

I emailed Brodit this morning. They replied that the HTC Hero holder will be released "any day now".

I can't wait. :o

I'm waiting for Herbert Richter mount. Already have windscreen mount that I used with wizard and kaiser and I was just chaning phone mounts.

So hoping they will release it eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] zippyioa:
I agree, Brodit is the only way to go!

Used the non charging one for my old XDA II, then got one for my Vario III, then my Samsung Omnia..... now I have the Hero I am waiting patiently, but in the meantime I am still using my Omnia holder with my Hero.

It fits pretty well, however there is a small amount of movement.

Brodit Holder for the Hero is on their site

511038 Passive Holder,Tilt Swivel

NEW!

With your PDA in a passive holder attached onto the dashboard it is always within easy reach -safe and convenient. The holder is mounted onto a tilt swivel so it is adjustable for avoiding light reflection on the screen. It is easy to put the PDA in the holder, and to take it out of the holder. You can connect e.g. a charging cable to the PDA when it is in the holder. Attach onto ProClip Mounting Platform.

EAN: 7320285110380

Can't find a retailer selling it yet in the UK though, but it can't be long.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tallen3:
Found a retailer Morpeth Mobiles

Its not up on their website but I emailed them and they gave me a no. to order over the phone so now it should be coming tomorrow!

Phone no. is 08450454084

And I guarantee you will be very happy with this set.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
I presume this is passive and not active?

I'm not a big fan of sticking things on my window, prefer the pro-clip option. Looks good though if its what your after
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] predo:
its passive, provides very good and sturdy hold for the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
would someone please tell me... how does the Brodit holder attach to the pro-clip? The latter looks like a featureless metal plate - at least it does in the pics for our car - so how does the Hero holder attach to it?

thanks much...
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] :
Mine have always bolted on - but then I bolt it to the mount that was initially for a Nokia car kit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
The hero holder has a ball joint connection to a flat plate which is universal for all brodit holders.

This flat plate has 4 screws which screw into the pro clip's front. There is also a sticky pad to use as well if you like.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
interesting, ta. perhaps I could bolt it to the existing Take-n-Talk THB Bury mount...
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Zuber:
I'd be happy with a cheap and cheerful holder, preferably one that looks like it is intended for a cheap phone. That way, someone doesn't break in hoping to find a satnav.

Just a simple squeeze to grip would be fine. Have one at the moment and still catches the chin, so it's fine.

However, what I would like, is something that can very easily be switched between portrait and landscape with a single handed operation.

Any suggestions ?

Zuber
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] :
I would expect so. You should be able to remove the THB Bury mount from the bracket, as I did with a Nokia mount, and then just bold the Brodit cradle to it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cdmackay:
thanks again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
Just got an email from Brodit, the Active holder should be out in the next week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tembares:
Active carholder is available: www.brodit.se
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Zuber:
Cheap but effective

Just to update you all...

Picked up a cheap and cheerful univeral car mount off ebay and it works a treat. Very adjustable 'solid' arm so less 'bounce' and rotates through 360 degrees so can use in portrait and landscape.

Need to see how well it performs under heavy road bumps and vibration, but so far looks very good indeed.

Only issue i see so far is access to volume down button. With co-pilot, this is not a problem, since hitting volume up shows on screen volume control letting you acess it that way. For other stuff, a widget may be the way to go.

At £3.75 with postage, hard to go wrong...

Great Portrait/Lanscape Car Holder just £3.75

Just been for a spin and am pleased to report that the car holder has passed with flying colours. Handled speed bumps, turns and pot holes etc. without trouble and doen't constantly shake (like flexy arm ones) even though I have not rested it on the dash.

Can easily spin Portrait to lanscape and back single handed, does not vibrate or bump out of position (It turns click by click a few degrees at a time).

Being universal, sqeezes small enough to hold my N82 as well. Max width is huge...

Also comes with a vent mount and stick on disc (if you want to mount off a panel instead of glass) but not tried these...

The gripper arms are a little chunky and can't say how well it will work in 6 months time. But looks robust enough and hey it's £3.75 :)

See last post post for ebay link.

Pics below (sorry about the excessive flash). The pics make it look a little clunky, but I really like it...

Brodit active holder with 3-in-1 adapter

As you've seen the active car holders from Brodit are soon here. Though I got a bit disappointed by the fact that they are not planning to make the model with the 3-in-1 adapter with USB power, USB audio and 3.5 mm audio out as they've done for the Magic. I would love to be able to connect the 3.5 mm to the AUX in on the stereo.

Their choice was based on that they thought that it's only possible to get audio out via the 3.5 output jacket which of course is not true. I'm now trying to convince them that it would be a good move to create the 3-in-1 model for the Hero as well and I could use your help to show them there is a customer base out there. So post your thoughts and why not send Brodit an e-mail to let them know what you think.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Zuber:
A couple of questions for those that have the Brodit.

Does the Brodit let you easily switch between portrait and landscape ?

Will it work with the Hero in a gel case?

I'm quite happy with my cheap holder to be honest, but might be tempted to get the Brodit at some point if it looks like I'll be keeping the Hero for a year or more.

Thanks,

Zuber
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] AndyCr15:
Yes, turns nicely to landscape.

I wouldn't think it would go in with a silicone case. The whole piont is they fit so snug...

Back in stock again :) Just ordered one + an angled airvent mount.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Zuber:

I'm so used to my Hero having a protective skin on all the time, I think I'm going to have to rule out any custom kits and stick with generic adjustable ones...

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Gawis:
hi everybody,

first post here and also am interested in the Brodit holder but have some small questions which I hope someone can answer

- how does this particular holder hold your phone?

- I had the Brodit one for my N95 which pressed the 2 sides to hold it but when I look at the picture of the holder for the Hero I can't see how it works

I really loved the holder of my N95 but it did cause some small damage on the parts where the first contact is made

is this the case with the one for the Hero too?

- how does it switch protrait/landscape?

does it use the tilt swivel or is there a genuine rotating mechanism built-in.

if so, does it feel like it has a small ball in it or does it feel more plastic?

thanks in advance for your time :)

I just ordered the passive Brodit holder and one of these -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CHARGER-ADA...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1255536425&sr=1-2

didn't like the cable on the active holder (too big and chunky) and can't be bothered removing various parts of the car to hard wire t'other active version.

I'll let you know what I make of it when it arrives tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] freddan101:
Does it look like it's possible to open up the holder to tweak with the USB contact / cable? Is it a standard USB contact or the HTC special one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
It will be the standard usb one, the brodits usually are.

I've seen with most the base part of the holder is actually molded to hold the cable in, I wouldn't think you'd be able to amend it unfortunately
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] freddan101:
Thanks for the info, nicelad! I've seen older ones with a screw in the base. Then I won't go and buy two holders - the active Hero holder and the 3-in-1 Magic one. My semiplan was to take the cable and contact from the Magic holder and hook it up to the Hero.

I guess I just have to buy the active holder or wait and hope that Brodit soon releases the 3-in-1. Though, waiting has never been my strong side... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
Totally agree, I don't like waiting either.

I sued to love the Brodit holders with the screw bottom, meant I could put a genuine charger in rather than the cheap ones that they seem to use. Ah well, can't have everything.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] frandavid100:
Yeah, I was wondering the same. Anyone knows?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] FloridaK:
Its molded so that you slide the Hero in and its held in place by a bit that goes round the chin (front and sides). There are no clips to this, or at least that's how it is with my one (passive). Very impressed with it, holds it very securely.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kien:
Does the Brodit swivel to landscape? how does it hold on in landscape? the tabs on the side doesn't look like it actually holds it in but just rests on it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] frandavid100:
Really, the more I look at those pics, the less I can figure out how it can not drop the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kien:
I'm looking for a holder that can rotate to landscape and attach to my brodit car mount. There's a few on ebay but I can't see how they can be adapted to fit the car mount but have it still rotate.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-Mount-Hol...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item2556c46b8d
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] FloridaK:
Yes you can put it into landscape and no it does not fall out. The bit the chin slides into is what holds it all in place, its a very firm fit, once in, its not going to come out again with out user intervention. I'm currently at work, but if you want, I can take some pics of it at the weekend (in landscape mode) and post 'em up here for you (might even get some shots so you can see exactly where it holds the hero).

I really can't recommend this kit highly enough.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kien:
Pics would be great, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Gawis:
thanks a lot for the info!

my N95 showed small scuffing marks after a few months of use (in/out of holder approx 6 times a day) on the sides where the holder first touches the phone

do you think, by the looks of it, this will happen on the one for the Hero too?

does the tilt swivel or holder itself have a dedicated portrait/landscape mode switch?

thanks again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kerzo:
I have been using mine now for about a month and after just checking, there appears to be some 'marks' where it would slide in but after a rub of my finger they went away. After a year or so I would expect a bit of wear but it appears to be exclusively on the rear casing which I assume could be bought separately if it bothered you.

It really is a snug and secure fit and I was pleasantly surprised for £13. I'm not sure how to explain this concisely but the actual component that holds the phone is on a swivel joint so you can tilt the phone by about 30 degrees (in my estimation) in all directions and you can also rotate it so there is no fixed positions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Gawis:
hi kerzo,

thanks a lot for the clarification!

the tilt swivel you describe looks the same as the one on my N95 holder

I just ordered me a passive holder + pro clip for my Hero

hope to receive it tomorrow :)

thanks again for the info
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kien:
I was going to get the brodit passive mount until mobilefun removed it from their site (probably realising there isn't a cheaper non swivel version) and I wasn't keen on the phone potentially getting marked. I already have a brodit car mount so I bought one of these and this. Works well for around £12 including a car charger and because it has a herbert richter mount I just need to get a cheap holder for my next phone :)

I just got a Telus HTC Hero and I am using it on ATT in US. I received the Pro Clip USA swivel holder for the Hero and it sure seems like the holder is going to create wear marks on the bottom front of Hero after placing and removing over time. Anyone with either the Pro Clip or Brodit holder who could let me know over time if it does scratch or cause wear marks on the front soft material on the Hero chin.
