i bought this very same one as well, but i have the US HD2 and this thing was built for the HD2 int version so when i got it my HD2 totally didn't fit. so... i had to dremel the crap out of it and i got it to fit but i still have some filing to do. i had to file it from all angles and directions just to get it to fit but it is starting to fit really nicely. i will try to post pics when i am done with this little project because i am building a custom mount also.

TMO US buyers beware, don't buy fitted mount for your hd2 unless you are sure it is for the TMO US model or unless you want to put some elbow grease and dremelling into it!

Do not use one of these unless you have the money to pay for a new vent if you accidently break it! Vent holders are the devil in disguise! They do work but its more what happens when they break!

I got this for my HD2 today:

http://triocarkit.com/navigation_bars/smart_trio_carkit.html

It looks bulky in this pic, but the HD2 fits flush into the cradle. I'll post pics when I get the chance.

The best part is that it functions as a cradle, charger, has a built in FM modulator to, and surprisingly, it works very well as a hand free kit.

I was able to have a lengthy phone conversation with my wife all while the phone sat in the cradle...the call audio comes through the speakers, and she can hear me well even though the phone was docked about 2 feet away. The best test was when I got a phone call from my mom...who normally has trouble understanding me over the phone (bad hearing + english as a second language). She seemed to understand me better than she would had I been speaking directly in the phone.

Listening to slacker radio in the car is nice too....as is having the navigation's voice directions coming through the speakers.

The holder appears to be for an iPhone which has completely different connectors?
[HD2 Accessories] alecs:
Hi fred_up, I ordered this and whilst it took a while to arrive it "was" quite good. Unfortunately after about a week of use the suction pressure vanished. The arm that pulls the suction cup was not producing the same force and the item kept falling off of the windscreen !!!!!

The unfortunate thing is that I made a slight modification to the phone holder part so that I could attach the USB cable. This phone holder comes as a detached part of the car kit and is clipped on and therefore can be unclipped.

I emailed the company and and said I would send them back the main unit excluding the holder. All they would need to do is send me the main unit and they would have the new holder and my old failed main unit.

They refused saying that they wanted the whole kit :mad:

So I am now faced with re-ordering (spending) again and then if it "strangely" fails they will get the complete unit. I might accidentally get the old unit mixed up with the new unit and send them the old one :p

My concern is this, they have a replacement policy, not a refund, so at the end of the day I will have spent money twice.

Does anyone know where else these car kits can be purchased internationally as I am hoping this is an uncharacteristic failure.
[HD2 Accessories] mystik610:
Really happy with this so far. Works as a charger, FM Modulator (play audio through car speakers), and hands free kit.

The audio quality is pretty good, but I'm blessed/cursed with the ears of an audiophile, and am never entirely happy with FM Modulators and MP3's. Its good for what it is though, and I'm sure it sounds great to most people. The call quality is surprisingly good. The phone sits about 2 feet away from me while driving, and I have yet to hear any complaints about the call quality on both ends. I can hear and understand them, and they can hear and understand me. Couldn't ask for more.

I need to clean up the cabling a bit....some of the cabling you see is from an old XM radio installation I never fully uninstalled. I definitely need to find a shorter micro-usb cable though.

It was built for the iPhone and has the standard Apple connector attached to it, but also includes a standard 3.5mm input jack, and a USB plug.

It works doubly well for me as I still carry my iPhone around (although I hardly ever use it any more).
[HD2 Accessories] giorgos25:
I tested it for a few days and now I would like to say a few things about it:

1. The HD2 doesn't sit tight enough in it... It is moving a little bit with every car-movement and I am afraid that because of these small moves the HD2 is gonna get scratched in time...

2. The volume down key is not accessible...:(

3. And the most important: The suction system for the windshield isn't strong enough. :mad: The whole thing fell off as I was driving :mad:. Lucky that nothing happened to my lovely phone :eek:

At the bottom line I am now looking again for another car holder...
[HD2 Accessories] alecs:
I purchased this exact same device from a UK based seller on Ebay and it failed within two days. The handle that creates the suction failed to put enough pressure on the suction to hold it to the windscreen.

As you have to pay for return postage which is usually more than the cost of the device it makes no sense returning the device

I then ordered another one just in case I was unlucky and this failed the same day, as you said this one didn't have enough suction to stay on the windscreen.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEVICE AS IT IS RUBBISH

My recommendation is that you purchase a Brodit holder. If you purchase the active holder it has an integrated power cable and someone on here has been able to fix the headphone cable into the holder which means no messing around with cables after connecting to the holder.

I have a sports car and they even have the specific holder for my car as I saw it on my friends sports car. The other good thing about it is that it is a solid piece of equipment and unlike the ebay holder this holds the unit well and the portrait/landscape rotation is a smooth action rather than a ratchet action on the ebay item (which causes the device to rattle in the holder and in my cases changes the volume).

It may be more expensive but it would have worked out better as I wouldn't have had all the hassle.

Search this forum for more information on the brodit holder. Once I sort this out with the ebay reseller I will be buying the Brodit item.
[HD2 Accessories] alecs:
Would you mind telling me how you removed the whole cable without damaging the mount?

Also the Music is played over the headphone cable not the USB??
[HD2 Accessories] RKnight1983:
I am in search of a.car mount that will directly fit my TMOUS BD2. I do have a Maximum Protection Invisible Shield installed. I know that the TMOUS version is very slightly taller then the European version, however I am unable to confirm weather or not there is a width difference. I am going someone can point me.to a.Car Mount that is made.for the HD2 that will work with.the Invisible Shield. I also have to mention I already have the generic Car Mount that works with any device and that I have been using it since I had my Vogue.

Active vs. Passive Brodit Holders?.....

Can anybody explain difference of active and passive Brodit Holders cause I am confuse in this issue. And which one is better to buy?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Accessories] llcooljazz:

does anyone know when the official car kit from HTC will be release?

I know that this is available, however I am waiting to confirm for sure that it works with the TMOUS version before I buy it myself. I would really like the original design, however I am unable to find that one anymore, besides I found 1 on ebay for about $130 last week.
[HD2 Accessories] alwayslearning:
thanks for the rapid response, do you know of a place to get it in the US?
[HD2 Accessories] RKnight1983:
I have not found a place. If you find a place let me know because I would rather buy one from the US then order from over seas.

[Android Apps and Games] elreymon:
I running an app which synchronizes with a remote server (for more details, it´s called: “Notepad”).

But there is a difference between the app-server time, and my phone time. And this difference is > 1 minute, so I am getting a synchronization warning from the app. :(

¿How does my phone know what time is it?

¿Does it uses a time server from Google on the Internet or it uses the mobile network?

¿Which server is that (in order to query by NTP)?
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
It uses your mobile network, but only if your network supports it and network sync is enabled in the settings.

The built-in clock of your phone "drifts" quite a lot (seconds per day). If the system time is important to you it might be a good idea to sync it with a time server regularly.

ClockSync can do it for you. You can choose the time server yourself. Your phone needs to be rooted to make it work, because for some reason Google is very anal retentive about the time settings.

Hi all,

I'd like to replace the calendar that comes with Sense since it's way to simple for my needs. Is there a way to do this?

Disable Sense, and get ThumbCal :-)

[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
guys. it was pure JOY to be an owner of SE Xperia, but enough is enough. I just got another cracks so I've decided to let it go and got myself new htc hd2.

seriously, typing in landscape on it is not that bad and comparable speed/accuracy wise with that not so perfect x1 physical qwerty. btw... speed. snapdragon. do I need to say more? :rolleyes:

anyway... I guess no x2 for me after what I've seen on videos. no n900 either, even if I was considering getting one. x2 is daaaamn tooo slooooooww (seems to stutter even more than x1) and n900 unfortunately is a one big bug and shortcoming.

wish me luck... ;)

see You on other parts of the forum. bye... :)

BTW: anyone knows what've happened with orelsi?? :D I almost miss that crazy bugger always knowing better... ;) maybe his xperia finally cracked and he commited seppuku?? lol
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
lol good luck with your hd2, im thinking of buying one myself as a second device ;)

btw, i too was wondering what happened to orelsi lol, havent seen him around here for a while, let's hope he aint clocked out
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well always good luck with the device you wish beeing the best for you.

Capactive screen is like seppuku for me,

As for HD2.

Actually I wonder more and more often what will I do in the future.

Even considering that I'll get my X2, I assume capactive will become

a ****ing tendency soon.

In this case I don't imagine using TouchScreen anymore!
[XPERIA X1 General] informatico:
well there will be two of us ... i hate so much capacitive ... but there might be some explanation for this ... my hands get really wet often and touching with the sensitive part of my fingers and swaping around gives me the nerves so i always touch the screen with the nails or top finger ... and not to mention the stylus problem ... I hope there are more people who dislike this thing... Ive heard there are also screens hybrid ... capacitive and resistive screens around.

And what the hell ... I dont get it this finger typing is by default non precise how can you make objects so big that you can use only your finger in such a small screen ... Web pages are not so big and with buttons there are also links ...

This is all Iphone fault :mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] slash_5150:
the snapdragon really makes a big difference in the speed and performace compared to slow x1 doesnt it?? :cool:

i too dumped my x1 for a snapdragon phone. the lower-profile acer s200. lol.:p (hd2 a tad too big for me).

now i can watch hq wmv videos with no stutter at all. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] c_legaspi:
i was looking at that phone as a replacement but just cant afford a new one when the x1a is still fullfilling my needs.

good luck with that phone, looking forward to reading your xperience (pun intended) with the hd2. hopefully next year i will replace my x1a with the hd2 or maybe an hd2 pro in the future.
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
well... still here. :) waiting for hd2 (delivery on monday, great deal with o2).

do not get me wrong, as I am not trying to convert anyone to hd2, but this whole need for resistive screen and real qwerty is becoming less and less obvious for me.

capacitive screen, read - toughened glass, hard to scratch, forces companies like ms to improve ui on their systems. see... the only good uses for styli are handwriting (are You handwriting with Your mouse on a pc?) and drawing (again, are You so much better with drawing using mouse on a pc comparing to sketches made with finger on a capacitive touch screen??). imho multitouch is more important than stylus.

qwerty... well... again - do some tests as I did. spb keyboard 4.1.1 trial, landscape fullscreen with clicking sound for better typing feel. I couldn't believe my eyes, as it wasn't much slower (if it was at all) or less accurate.

all I'm going to miss is xperia's still shot quality. some pictures shot in daylight are comparable quality with real cameras, and not those ****ty ones.

... but hey. I won't have to convert videos anymore. :)

anyway... I will keep my x1 as a backup device and I'll come back in here to share my hd2perience from ex x1 user point of view.

btw, I am not beeing paid for it. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i am torn between the HD2 and the X2 :(

X2 = slow and keyboard

HD2 = Fast and no keybard

But i am so tempted to get the HD2 - to be honest i cant ever see my self using like the tilewave etc on x2 >.<
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
yeah... spb ms 3.5.x and manila are mos def better option than panels. have You tried that test with onscreen keys that I mentioned above? this and a visit in local o2 shop to get the feel of it convinced me to give it a go.

the last thing I was worried about was the lack of d-pad, but... honestly I do not play games much. other thing is that with recently hacked multitouch api apps like fpsece could use it in the future for virtual onscreen pad.

[XPERIA X1 General] rickysio:
I think I might upgrade to a N900 after I save enough money - the X1's reception issue is a nightmare, even after testing 8 radio versions. At least with Nokia there is assurance of reception quality - what use is a smartphone if I can't even access 3G?! Or any thing except for WiFi, for that matter. Reception is sporadic at best, and at worse it doesn't even pick up a signal but my Nokia does display full signal strength...
[XPERIA X1 General] xicloe:
I think he got 3 crack, :p :) :D
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well exactly my points.
[XPERIA X1 General] Hannigan174:
I am not sure why everyone so upset with X1, except for kinda wimpy 7200 chip.

I like keyboard, and don't really care about resistive or capacitive touchscreen. I am fine with either.

The one thing I don't use that much, but I am certain I would greatly miss is the physical keyboard. I don't think I am going to switch until there is a full keyboard on a snapdragon.

The cracks that everyone complains about are really just a cosmetic issue, and I don't really care too much about it (although I did re-shell my phone to make it black).

It is always kind of interesting to me the various types of devices that people decide to get and why. For the most part I understand each individuals reasoning, but I am yet to be swayed that there is a better device for me.

If anyone knows of a full QWERTY hardware keyboard unit with a snapdragon that is on the horizon PLEASE let me know.

Also, I miss Orelsi in a weird way. I suppose it was just his belligerent insistence on his perspective. I bet he got an iPhone too, :)

EDIT: I forgot about one thing that greatly aggravated me (although I had same problem on Kaiser) was that the keyboard goes bad and needs cleaning. Because of that I reshelled because I figured if I am gonna tear it apart anyway I might as well make it look like new.
[XPERIA X1 General] johhn:
actually there's one announced quite recently,LG eXpo GW820, 1 Ghz+qwerty,plus finger print security and a detachable projector as an optional accessory. it was initially announced for the american market and didnt mention european market,so we shall wait n see.

you might also want to keep an eye on toshiba n Acer as well,since they both got on the 1 Ghz ladder pretty early but havent make it go with qwerty yet.

btw,I am on the same boat with you, just want a decent processor with qwerty win mobile, not fussy about how advanced the bloody touch screen is going to be whatsoever...
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
he said he was using his phone to get on the net as his pc broke, i bet his x1 broke (cracked) so he cant get on the net anymore lol
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
ok guys. I just got it.

wow... that's all I can say. all You nonbelievers go to Your local mobile phone stores to have a look. bit too large, but I'll get used to it. ;) speed... omg, I never knew that winmo can be that snappy. it's so iphone 3gs fast and smooth that I think I'll jizz in my pants. :D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4)

one last thing, try it, and forget about anything other than snapdragon. seriously.
[XPERIA X1 General] Hannigan174:
Yeah, actually I knew of that, but I am afraid of leaving XDA, so I guess I meant an HTC-based device with physical QWERTY and snapdragon :)

Nothing in particular against LG, but I am not sure I want to deal with their ugly iPhone-like interface.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Envious - Oh how I wish I could perform a Snapdragon transplant on my X1.

Anyway, how is the camera in low light? Better than x1? How is the video recording?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Audiguy3:
I'm in the same boat as you - will switch to the HD2 when it is available for the states. The key for me is the lack of support for the X1 by Sony and the lack of a upgrade path to Win 6.5. Also the HTC software Sense that works above Win 6.5 seems to solve a few issues left with 6.5

And the rumor that the HD2 will move to Win7 is a plus (though did we not hear the same with the X1 about 6.5?).

I think I shared your thought on have a qwerty keyboard but was open to a touch screen one - especially since I see so few issues with those who use the iPhone and that interface is capacitive too.

Please give us your feed back and congrats on getting the phone
[XPERIA X1 General] bronx:
cheers Guys. :D

ok... so basically if You know what to do with winmo device, then You should be happy as hell... hd2 is far more enjoyable winmo experience than x1 or kaiser that I used to have.

camera is a bit worse I'm afraid. don't get me wrong, pictures are quite decent quality, but 3mp xperia camera could capture much better pics. on the other hand video rec is much better and overall speed of shooting pictures is also better. I doesn't seem to have a pink blob issue, but installed the fix anyway. ;)

the other thing You'll have to get used to is the size. damn... it's ultra thin, but the screen makes it ULTRA BIG.

I've tried some old apps and gotta say, that with some practise You can live w/o stylus. i.e. I don't have any problems using total commander with just fingers, and as a matter of fact it's even easier than it was on xperia due to screen size (bigger controls).

multitouch opera... well... on this baby You can feel the power of 1 ghz. content heavy sites are rendered fast, text is reflowed, pinch zooming and scrolling is fluid. sweet...

there is so much more to be happy about, but I have to play with it bit more to let You know. :rolleyes:

oh.. one more thing. those "sense ui" tweaks like hd2 recognizing it's beeing in a pocket or lowering down ringtone volume after grabbing it are sooo cool. it gives You that next gen feel if You know what I mean...

BUT - before You buy it - try it. Make sure that it's right for You, as it's quite costy to get it.
[XPERIA X1 General] eDaniel:
bronx, I'd say I'm on a crossroad with this HD2 ...

i only if the old games are still playable on this device - please try pocketufo or heroes of might and magic for me - i'd like to know whether they are playable on capacitive screen. thx
