[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DLTempler:
I have so many car mounts and they are all made like crap and a pain to use. I have not found one, until today, that mounts in a location where it is easy to see the phone and use your fingers to navigate it.

So, I decided to spend the money on ProClip. I've certainly tossed out plenty of money on other crap. But this ProClip is NOT crap. It came today and it is made like you would expect something to be made. Sturdy, tight, well-designed. Never even trying another mount, not for my current car or phone or for any other car or phone.

This isn't necessarily the best price, but this is what I have and it's VERY solid, good phone holder, suction cup is very secure. I put it on about two months ago and haven't taken it off since (nor has it fallen of course..)

This is the 14" model which is basically required for my weird long angled windshield on my Stratus, there are shorter models, always measure to see how long you need it.

OP was for a "secure vent clip" and my response is a windshield mount. Because "secure vent clip" doesn't exist. :) I've tried several, cheap or expensive, and they always flop around and won't stay right. Windshield ones stay right where you put them and you can put them basically anywhere.

Someone at PPCGeeks had this and it broke within a week.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ChrisFB:
I've had a couple of them now. They aren't bad. Not top quality but not bad - actually things being relative, you show me where I can buy a better mount and I'll certainly take a look but I haven't seen much and for $12 it's a done deal.

The design is a generic mount and then the holder for each phone is made for a particular model but the back adapter lets it attach to the same suction mount. The mount is very adjustable and I haven't found a car it won't fit (and I've had some extreme setups in various cars and windshield placements as I travel and end up renting all kinds of cars). The nice thing about the mount is that the phone piece detaches pretty easily so you can separate both pieces to make it easier to pack in a bag.

Oddly the one I had for my wife's Tilt fits my Tilt2 so well that I have no need to change it. She inherited my Fuze so she'll get that one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ntegra:
I had the proclip for my Tilt. However my mount broke just before getting my Tilt 2, and I can't justify buying both pieces a second time. Because of the car I got (RSX), the mount was simply a hard piece of plastic with thin edges on both ends that kinda hooked into my dash. never seemed too sturdy, anyway one of the ends broke off and that was all she wrote. I'm gonna give this one a try: http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Weighte..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1264638149&sr=1-1

Hopefully it will work.

HAiCOM Custom Car Mount for HTC Touch Pro2

I've been using this since November and have had no issues. Only thing I don't like is that I can't slide the keyboard out with this mount. Which probably isn't bad since it's against the law to text while driving these days...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] EvilBetty:
Anyone seen anything motorcycle friendly? I've seen some mounts for bicycles but they don't look sturdy enough to use on a motorcycle. Keep waiting for a RAM mount cradle. Might end up putting it in an Otterbox.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mybikegoes200:
I just bought [this holder] and according to [this website] the dimensions of the two models are identical (the 7373 / AT&T Tilt 2). I'm not averse to a little bit of modification if necessary ;) (see my modded Fuze car cradle HERE)

So... If it's not a perfect fit, I hope there's enough plastic for me to whittle away what I need... And if I have to move the jack around a bit - so be it.

I simply cannot stomach a "universal fit" holder with their oh-so-hokey spring loaded-foam-laden-hope-to-hold-my-dear-phone-when-I-hit-that-idaho-sized-pothole. Those things are ghETTO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Likwidflux:
Best I've found is RAM but I don't feel like spending that. A few of my friends have had luck just suction cupping their gps on their tach/speedo but they are on sports with a fairing.

I have nothing stopping the wind so I think tank bag may be the only option.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DebbieNY13:
Ditto! I have this setup for my Kaiser and LOVE it!

Since I don't plan to dump my beloved Kaiser just yet, I'm hoping to get the additional Tilt 2 holder and attach it to the mounting bracket with the extender bracket. This will allow me to use it with either device that I have with me at the time, without having to switch out the mount. I've had suction cup/vent mounts, but they were never as sturdy as ProClip, and always fall off when I need my GPS function the most. :mad:

EDIT: Just ordered the extension bracket & 2nd device holder. While they were over $50 shipped, I will NEVER need to buy another one for my car again... Or risk damaging my precious PDAs when those crap ones fail. :p

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] camell0ndosequis:
I too am looking for the perfect mount kit and have always had good experience with RAM. I've got some pieces left over from my dead gps and all I really need is a cradle, but the best RAM has to offer is this cradle but it says not intended for use with motorcycles. For that it redirects to here.

But Im a little leery of ordering a $25 cradle if won't fit the existing pieces I have, and their website does not do a good job of explaining what it will or will not fit. I suppose I could always give them a call if I was interested enough.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Back when I had a Kaiser I bought a $10 windshield mount off ebay made by a company called Arkon. It's on a 14" flexible arm, and yes it does bounce. However, if you position the arm in such a way that a good portion of it is resting on the dash, it bounces much less. It fits my Tilt 2 just fine, fits my friend's Blackberry Storm, and a bunch of other phones. It's adjustable. I wrecked @ 50 MPH (tboned somebody), and the Arkon kept my Kaiser in it :-).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I wrecked the crap out of my car and my cheap Arkon adjustable-with-foam kept the phone in the holder, and the suction cup stayed mounted. The only thing that happened is it loosened the thing that you screw looser or tighter to be able to swivel the phone around and such. Tightened it right back up, and now it holds my Tilt 2 just fine. We have nasty potholes in Arkansas that require me to swap my suspension every couple years (I tend to speed excessively), and I make crazy turns on a daily basis (1900lb cars are fun), sucker holds the Tilt 2 like a champ. Best phone accessory I've ever bought.

Hi All,

Since recent Rom releases ( MDC 2.9 & Harkari ) - my phone seems to be repeatedly rebooting.

It starts OK - goes through HTC screens, will get to lockscreen which I can open, and then loads correctly.

It then goes blank - and reboots!

Anyone know a fix for this? ( I'm not too terminal savy :o )

Thanks everyone:)

I've got a month-old mytouch running spl-1.33.0006. I first rooted it using theunlockr.com's guide. I flashed a bunch of Hero roms, had limited sucess. I tried out CM Mod and love it- simple and stable. But now I want to go back and try some updated Hero and Sense roms.. The only problem is that I get stuck in a boot loop in every one I try(eVil v3s, OPTIMIZEDprime, SenseHero, etc). I try to go back to the earlier roms I tried(HERO 1.9.1A, 1.8, Jacheroski2.2a) and get the same problem. I wipe/re-partition/reboot/wipe/flash on every flash. I've even unrooted and re-rooted with the same luck. Is it my spl?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
yes it is the spl. you need to update it to an engineering spl

It was actually the partitions. I've been using sparted but on a whim I switched to regular 'ol parted and it's running like a champ. I did update my spl to an engineering release after the fact but I didn't notice much difference. For anyone interested, here's what I've tried on my 4gb microsd:

(22.03.2010)

latest HTC update (ROM Version:2.73.61.66 for Orange /Release Date: 2010-02-04)

and ROOT rights + flashing custom ROMS will NOT WORK

check page (3) for further information and problem solving :=)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey guys,

i bought my HTC Hero (Orange UK) locked a few days ago, and it arrived yesterday at morning :)

I spent at least 12h trying to unlock it :=) reading all posts over the whole www :) At 6am in the morning :) today, i finally could say: yeah i got it unlocked :=) and yeah, i also got the firmware downgraded :)

:eek:

So, there is just one requirement (if anyone did it without one, please let me know): At least, for some time (borrowed from a friend) you need an Orange-Sim-Card

You need it to logg into your phone once, so that your pc installs the correct adb interface drivers (if you never got a sim card, you will never be able to contact adb interface) and enable the usb debugging mode on your android phone (so that adb works).

Otherwise i wouldn't have been able to get the Point 1 done correctly. (get the CID...) :rolleyes: ;)

=> Other Things you need to install:

- unlock code (maybe from http://www.unlock-now.com/)

- Android SDK

- i took the normal usb drivers (sdk-supports, folder "usb-driver")

so the exact how to:

1) at first (there is no way to bypass it) do exactly the following (create a Gold-Card):

Create a Goldcard (xda-post)

2) flash a custom recovery rom via adb interface (Android SDK):

adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
adb shell reboot

(got code from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124

3) Now you can flash any rom u like (maybe at first, if everything works, do a custom backup (nandroid))

i chose: HTC Generic 2.73.405.38

originally from: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

really important: check the requirements above!

get access to an orange sim card. not important which one...

live here in austria, and got an AUT-Orange Card from a friend, but I think you definitely need one!

This was performed on a Windows 7 64 bit machine :)

greets && good luck to everyone who does this, hope this saves you a lot of time! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
I am a novice and having probs....will be trying these steps over the weekend but a few questions in the meantime:-

I can successfully create a goldcard...

but the ROM downgrade bombs out with the 131 error which I believe is because Orange have tweaked it and is effectively locked to them?

Does the custom recovery get around the downgrading problem? I'm guessing it replaces the 'Orange Rom' with a basic image?

If the custom recovery is successful, are you 'unlocked' at that stage? Is your phone bricked if the custom recovery fails?

If the custom recovery is successful, does that give you the ability to do a Nandroid backup or are there specific steps that need to be done first?....(where does Nandroid backup the image to?...sd card? another part of the phone memory?

If custom recovery is successful, is it simply a case of getting the rom you want (such as modaco) and then launching it from the pc with your phone synched and goldcard inserted?

Apologies for all the questions but I'm trying to get my head around how this whole process works. Thanks for any help.

Trying hard to see the point of this thread/poll, when this method for unlocking the Orange Hero has been known for a while now! ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyVII:
sry, never seen before

custom recovery, i think, replaces just the "recovery" ;=) boot loader image, the running rom stays the same meanwhile

not yet ;) regarding to above, the rom hasn't change and so the unlock key, won't work either.

no, if the custom recovery is complete, you can do an nandroid backup as u like. it backups directly to /sdcard/nandroid/..

it the easiest thing you can imagine, put the downloaded rom onto the sd drive, custom recovery lets you choose "restore: browse" you select the image file directly on your sdcard (name doesn't matteR) , wait , and it's done :)

never mind :) i'm welcome to answer your questions :)

good luck!

The one Thing i forgot above, i bought a unlock key on :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
I presume that the 'recovery' is not available on the phone by default? When I hold the home key after powering on, it just has a sort of warning picture next to the phone.....no text displayed and no buttons do anything at that stage, only option is to take the battery out to kill the power.

Gonna have a go at unlocking this using the instructions later tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
I have finally got my Orange UK Hero sorted out.......

to cut a long story short, I had the most recent Orange UK ROM, which stops the custom recovery and doesn't alllow a change of bootloader (I got the 'remote ID' error when following your instructions and therefore couldn't flash it using your method.

In the end I went down the 'flashrec' route and eventually managed to get a standard ROM on, backed it up with Nandroid and then unlocked the mobile. Took a lot of hours faffing around and I'm starting to understand how it all fits together now...thanks for the steer. Regards Daz

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
Just to let you know my solution, as I had a PM asking for assistance.

Basically the goldcard method didn't work for me, (creating it was fine, but that's as far as it got)....after research I found out that the most recent Orange Hero's have firmware installed which blocks this process.

Anyway, I used the flashrec method, instructions are here

The url above also has the links to the two files that you need to pull this off. These aren't my instructions so credit to the author.

I have done this on two HTC Hero's now which were both locked to Orange, and they both sailed through without a problem. I also bought my unlock codes from www.htccode.com and had them both unlocked about 5 minutes after payment by PayPal.

Hope this helps anyone else with the 131 error problems (Orange firmware blocking the goldcard method) and thanks for crazyVII (thread starter) for also helping me out.

Just upgrade your orange firmware to the oranges official latest firmware: ROM Version:2.73.61.66 for Orange

It definitely wont be Android 2.1 as it hasn't been released yet, you will know for sure when it is released as EVERYONE will be talking about it!!!

Does it really work?... Hmmm,... I *think* so, but I only assume that from IRFAN99's comment saying...

But dont take that as gospel, you know what they say, "assumption is the mother of all f*~K ups"!!!

Can anyone please confirm if that works????

..... And the Orange logo is just referring to the network that BENEDICT.S is on, you can select yours in your profile settings.
