I also like this one ... simple, passive, and in-expensive. I think I will take a plunge and order one :)
[Desire Accessories] NineToTheSky:
I prefer one on eBay from londonmagic store. (Sorry - being a new poster, I'm not allowed to post links.) It's £6.90, so cheaper, seller has better feedback and is in the UK, and it comes with a free charger. I'm ordering today.
[Desire Accessories] paulruk:
£6.90 inc postage how do they make these so damn cheap. Be interested to know what its like.
[Desire Accessories] flitjes:
I got a similair one, just a universal for all kinds of phones and it works great. It just cost me 10 euro's the only down side is that I had to tweak it a bit with a pair of siccors but still it works great.

I will post a screen if any 1 is interrested ;).
[Desire Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
Please. And a link where you got it if that's possible...

Lots of people saying they've ordered this and that in here, but not a lot of actual reviews we can use to decide what to buy...
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Im still happy after few weeks usage of:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/trailblazer-universal-car-charger-and-holder-p22954.htm

Can use Desire vertically or horisontally... works perfectly in my car, but would really depend where your cigarrete lighter is. Holds the phone nice and charges it as well, and not bad price.
[Desire Accessories] claudefrog:
I have this on order:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-car-pack-p24202.htm

Should be here tomorrow so will post pics to see if the fit is ok, supposed to be for the Nexus but emailed the guys at Mobilefun who said it takes the Desire perfectly.

Comes with a power adapter too and to save on postage I ordered the black flexishield cover.

30 odd quid all in

What's the likelyhood that the google Nexus one Car Dock will fit the Desire or the likelyhood that they'll make one purely for the desire?

youtube.com/watch?v=VH-91CzNGAY
[Desire Accessories] irishandrew:
Sorry but the nexus one dock uses the contacts on the bottom of the nexus to charge/initiate car home screen etc., not the microUSB port. The dock's base takes a usb plug which is then plugged into the cars socket. So even if the Desire fits - it won't charge and would otherwise be a very expensive passive dock!

Cheers,

Andrew.
[Desire Accessories] jamieyates79:
I just received the same car holder from Mobile Fun (ordered it yesterday so I'm impressed with their service). I haven't test it in car yet, but the Desire fits in fine. All seems like reasonable quality as well.

If I can find my camera I'll try and post some pictures of it in the car with the Desire fitted :)
[Desire Accessories] James H:
Please do, I'm making do with a holder from my old SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and needless to say it doesn't fit amazingly well, in fact one boom of my subwoofer almost makes the phone fall out of the holder!

Is the charging port attached to the holder?
[Desire Accessories] jamieyates79:
No the charger is completely separate.
[Desire Accessories] James H:
Ah that's a shame, I was hoping for something fully integrated, still it looks very good from what I can see!
[Desire Accessories] jamieyates79:
I just posted a quick review and pictures of the Mobile Fun suction mount on my blog:

http://jamieyates.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/htc-desire-car-holder-from-mobile-fun/

Overall I'm pretty happy with the mount, although I may replace the charger with a non-coiled one so it doesn't tug at the USB connector.
[Desire Accessories] supersoaker253:
Is anyone willing to order this and shipping it to me in the US? Im willing to pay the price difference for shipping, I'm thinking bout ordering 4 or 5 of them--please send me a pm.
[Desire Accessories] haggisuk99:
My Mount arrived the next day after ordering and was a breeze to put together, the mount sits on the dash and will not move during normal driving including heavy braking and accelerating, or speed bumps, or even sharp turning or roundabouts, i did however put it really to the test in a car park and fully locked the steering wheel and put my foot down, only then did it start to move on the dash, but as the car was nearly up on two wheels all in all I think that the mount is an awesome bit of kit.

It sits the desire in foam pads and is adjustable to fit any size pda or phone up to 65mm, i can turn the desire from vertical to horizontal postion whilst driving and you can set the amount of drag needed to move the cradle in case you are worried about it moving. I have used it to video a drive from one place to another and the mount held it solid without any visible shake on the screen. It is so easy to reposition within the vehicle that i now have it one postiion for satnav purposes and another then for the kids to watch a movie, it can be moved so easy you could just simply pick it up and move it to another car within seconds, in fact i am in the habit of just picking up the entire mount and phone and taking it straight into the house and using it on my desk as a temporary cradle until mine comes through in the evenings.

All in all for £18 delivered a brilliant and well constucted bit of kit, build quality is excellent and the mount is universal so can be used by the missus to hold her samsung as well without the need for more than cradle.

There is a video of the mount on the site where you buy it and it can be seen here, check it out guys and gals its worth a look.

[Desire Accessories] claudefrog:
Ok, got my Desire/Nexus card cradle from Mobilefun yesterday, the suction mount is impressive, feels very sturdy and build qaulity looks good. Desire fits perfectly as there is a little spring loaded clip that keeps the unit secure.

The car charger is seperate but sure it takes two seconds to plug the thing in.

The cradle has varying angles that can be used and looks quite nice mounted in my megane, overall I am very pleased, service from mobilefun was excellent, next day delivered to Belfast for £2.50 first class postage.

Also got the black Nexus Flexishield cover and that does the job perfectly for the Desire.

All in all I am pleased, going to take a while for official Desire products to be released so these will do me for the time being.
[Desire Accessories] roscoe141:
How long will it be before we have a choice or several car docks? Also will there be any official HTC car docks released?
[Desire Accessories] MrTMO:
Can anyone post some dimensions for the TrailBlazer? I can't find any and I'm considering getting one but I'm concerned whether it will fit in my Seat Leon as the lighter socket is right in front of the gear stick, it may get in the way.

I wonder if it's better to order the one for the Nexus (passive obviously) since its padded? I have never seen a 'padded' brodit holder, what does that mean?
[Desire Accessories] Dave G:
and its only £13 compared to £21 for the Desire. I've got a Brodit ipod mount which is felt lined, I guess thats what they mean by padded?
[Desire Accessories] sh500:

i got mine from ebay using talklinesales, was 9.95 and arrived today after ordering sunday! really impressed with it, grips phone well, easy to put in and out and adjust. definately worth ten squids! (grrr can't post links yet :()

edit - ok it appears to have gone up a fiver since sunday, must have seen everyone elses prices and hiked it up. glad i got mine when i did!
[Desire Accessories] tephra:
Hey Guys,

ok I am tossing up between:

ebayid = 350344927919 (or mobilefun - smartpack for htc desire)

amazon.co.uk /gp/product/B003H00TRE/ref=pd_luc_sbs_01_01 (sunwire mount)

mobilefun - brodit active with tilt swivel FOR desire

To me the first one seems the best, but I am worried about the clip scratching the desire casing?

Second one looks like its padded foam, but can't rotate 90degrees (without the phone falling out)

Third one looks like it has the same problems of #1 and #2

Any suggestions?

edit - looks like the Sunwire mount is a bit flimsy from the HD2 product review on amazon, so I guess thats out...

Cheers

D.
[Desire Accessories] bakedecake:
I bought the one from Fone M8 (Talkline Sales) on Ebay for £9.95 inc postage (#350344927919), it looked the same as the one on Mobile Fun for about £20 delivered and includes a car charger.

It arrived yesterday and I am very pleased, the quality is excellent so I would highly recommend it. :)
[Desire Accessories] JimiDesire:
I asked the other day, "does the desire fit in this holder with the flexishield on?"

According to MF : The in car holder will not work with a skin attached as the skin adds extra size to the hone making it too big to fit in the cradle.

kind regards

I would still like to know from posters here.

For those that bought the flexishield and holder as above:

(I seem to recall quite a few bought the two together): Do you take the cover off every time you put the phone in the holder? (Hardly, surely?)

Or will the phone fit with the skin on despite what MF says?

For those that just got the holder, what protection if any do you have for the phone/screen when you are carrying it around?

I got my Brodit active holder for the Desire this morning and fitted it. This is the new item specifically for the desire and not Nexus One. Usual fantastic quality from Brodit and I have it mounted on the right of the steering wheel (UK) so the charger caple is tidied away nicely under the steering column. Recommended.

P.S. It would be perfect for sat nav landscape apps in this position too if Android could only rotate screen both ways like every other OS! So annoying!
[Desire Accessories] Wekkel:
I got the mobile fun package (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-car-pack-p24202.htm).

The separate car charger is 500mA max. It's basically a 12V plug with a coiled wire to micro-USB. I also have the original HTC car charger pack (ordered it with my Desire). The original HTC car charger is stated to give 1A, so there’s a difference. I have only tested the original car charger, which pumps the machine full of blood, even with a half hour's drive :) Not sure whether the 500mA charger that comes with the holder can do that.

The coiled wire of both car charger kits is the same; I am able to reach left of my steering wheel with the plug plugged in at the mid-console (so it stretches quite a bit, but it tugs at the socket of the phone). The wire of the HTC kit is USB to micro-USB, the wire of the holder kit charger is fixed to the 12v plug (thus not easily replaced).

I don't think that the holder will scratch the phone, so I haven't glued soft material on in. It goes in and out smoothly when handled with some care.

In summary, only 2 drawbacks of this kit:

charger is only 500mA

holder cannot rotate freely and not while driving; back plate must be dismantled and assembled again for optional 90degrees rotation

It will be my first landcape navi-set, so I can't wait to go on vacation...

update: Used the 500mA charger for 2 drives, each 15 minutes. Started with 63% battery, ended with 64%. So it barely keeps pace with the battery drain while navigating (Co-pilot 8)
[Desire Accessories] TulpiX:
has anyone got or tested this one ?

http://www.amazon.de/Haicom-KFZ-Halter-Halterung-für-Desire/dp/B003IDELL0/

Can someone please tell me the diameter of the suction cup on these holders. I don't want to mount on my windscreen but I have a nice clear shiny space on my dash which might be suitable so long as the suction cups aren't too big.

Hi

Can anyone recommend a low cost car charger, not a cradle..

Ideally to allow GPS, music etc whist driving :)

Thanks
[Desire Accessories] Exculpo:
Take random universal charger of your choice and mod it yourself easily, with the assumption that the chargers output is specified to at least 1A (1000mA)

thanks for any info.
[General Topics] willcor:
firstly..your default file explorer on phone should/can do... copy /paste...?

otherwise...you can.... if you want to....

try " GSFINDER ".....

it is a free file explorer..it can copy and paste

you can download it from here..

(been using it for long time...)

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1203

..just to add

..you will be redirected to to another website and will see 'GSFINDER " at top of page ..if you look 3/4 down page you will see download "GS finder"

from list choose 'pocket pc ' version, download zip file ( only 752kb of data )

..extract zip file ..

and you will notice 4 cab files... choose the first one .."GSFINDER .ppc_arm.cab

install cab

good luck

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] beaverfood:
Hi,

Im planning on buying a HTC Magic off of eBay and I was planning on getting a 32A model because it has more ram.

But I have been reading some threads and I see you can install most of the HTC Dream roms on the 32B Magic.

There would be more roms for me to choose from which would make it the better handset.

Does the extra ram make much different on the 32A Magic ?

So what I want to know if you had to choose which Magic you could have would it be the 32A or 32B and why.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I'd say 32A of course, you can't use more than one ROM at a time anyway, so who cares how many there are as long as there's one that's good enough for you :D

Just make sure you don't get one with HTC's official Sense UI update applied, cause that hasn't been rooted and may never be, so you would be stuck with the stock cupcake + sense UI, probably for good.

PS. don't be fooled by mi sig, yes I run it rooted but you can't achieve that _after_ it's been applied without suitable precautions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] beaverfood:
Thanks alot for that info about the HTC official Sense update I hadn't read about that yet.

[XPERIA X1 General] lordhardware:
I have to say that after a day of fooling around i'm loving this phone.

The keyboard is great! I was a little worried about it after reading about so many issues people were having with how tactile the buttons were but i think the amount of push in them is just right.

(my only issue is the lack of directional buttons on the keyboard for emulators)

Speakinf of emulators, I just finished a session of Final Fantasy 8! The phone lags a little bit when there is alot going on but otherwise its TOTALLY playable.

I'm hesitant about going online even WITH my wifi set up as I think programs on the phone default to 3G connections if they are available and roaming charges are extraordinarally high with my plan.

If anyone knows a program that can deny 3G and 2G connections when browsing id love to hear about it :)
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
Search the forum for the NODATA app. It'll disable GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSPDA connectivity
[XPERIA X1 General] Jonny4911:
if you have a wi-fi connection it shouldnt trigger 3g data to be used, but to be on the safe search for the nodata app
[XPERIA X1 General] lordhardware:
Thanks for the help guys, that app does exactly what I wanted :)

I think I've hit my first snag. I plugged in the xperia and the charging LEDs came on. I turned the phone back on and turned them (LEDs while charging) off. (I also changed the two softkeys to go to messaging and file manager) but after turning the phone back off the LEDs continue to display :S

I went back into setting and sure enough the settings are as I left them, they just have no effect, the softkeys also are GOING where I want them to, but as soon as I reboot they go back to calender and contacts :(
[XPERIA X1 General] Jonny4911:
I think because the only way for you to know the phone is charging while its off is the LEDs the setting only applies while the phone is on... It's probably programmed into the bootloader or something...

also for the softkeys, i think this probably a bug, i'm not sure, i assume your on the stock rom? if you wish to stay that way then thats fine, but using a custom rom will really boost your experience! remember if you're going to do this, to Hard-SPL and read up on the process through the stickies on the Rom development sub-forum!

If you want to stay stock then simple make sure your on the latest R3A Rom release via SEUS (update service)!
[XPERIA X1 General] handas_xda:
For keyboard arrows you can use main D-pad.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Great choice OP.

Check these apps:

AE Button Plus - It lets you map the soft keys to anything you like with several functions each. I got 4 actions on each button (single press, double, tripple and long). It lets you controll everytihng without the touchscreen.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 + SPB News and SPB Weather + SPB Wireless Monitor . It turns the phone to a completely different device. The improvement is manifold.

WK Task - superior task manager and launcher.

Resco Today Plug-in - Arange and launch apps.

Homescreen ++ - task manager, taskbar icons, cpu speed monitor, ram monitor, phone temperature monitor, battery drain monitor.

Just to start you off :D.
[XPERIA X1 General] lordhardware:
Thanks for the tips, the resco suite added alot of cool things and im glad i made that download.

NoDataInRoaming is a great app!

Ive currently got my softkeys working again (had to reinstall sdktools *shugs*)

otherwise everything is working GREAT!

ive found that button mapping for some of the keys in FPSEce doesnt work very well as the default functionality of those keys stay, such as the blue key :( but thanks all for the tips.

@Jonny4911 I'm going to be making the shift when android is more stable on the device. as it is now the phone is working great for me and apart from a couple of slowdowns during taxing use i couldnt be happier :)
