I went ahead and purchased the clingo car mount

http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-hands-free-mount/

for $25 shipped off of eBay (find it yourself:)) after it was mentioned by a member on XDA. It looked cool to me and since I didn't enjoy my Soundgate M2 mount to much I decided to give it a try.

I must say that I am very happy with the purchase. It works flawlessly with my EVO. I have tried it with two different cased, one was a regular tpu style and then with this case http://www.amazon.com/High-Quality-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1281911569&sr=8-1\

I'm not sure what material its made from but it is comparable to leather.

Both cases worked perfectly. They stuck to the Clingo adhesive without any problems and most importantly, they stayed there. A naked EVO will work just as well.

I have had the mount only for a couple days, but so far I have driven relatively long distances without no issues whats-so-ever. I live in houston tx btw, it's 5:35 rite now and 97* degrees outside, just to give you an idea of my environment.

The adhesive on the clingo does not seem to be losing its stickiness at all after my first couple days. I found this on clingos website.

http://www.clingo.com/articles/technology

If those are true facts then you can expect this baby to last a while...

Installation was extremely easy. I have mine attached to my windshield and it sticks to it like a champ. There is an optional attachment that allows you to stick it to your car dash board which works very well also.

overall I HIGHLY recommend this product if your looking for a decent car mount and in all honestly if I was to buy a home dock for the EVO I would get another clingo. It's so simple yet practical.

I know with all these knew docks coming out from htc/sprint/eBay/wireforless nobody really considered getting a Clingo product, but you can find them for relatively cheap off of eBay and it seems like it would look nice in an office/home environment. talking about this btw http://www.clingo.com/home-and-office/universal-podium

this seems pretty neat also, might scoop it up once I get some extra cash.

http://www.clingo.com/home-and-office/parabolic-sound-sphere

I dont see a need to spend 50+ on a dock just because it charges your phone. You can get a couple spare batteries, a car charger, home charger, usb cable and screen protectors for under 20 off of eBay. That matched with a Clingo product is all I need.

P.S - I suck at writing reviews. This is just my attempt to help some fellow xda members make a decision on an accessory for there phone. If your coming here to hate on my grammar and the way I type (which i have seen A LOT of lately on XDA. Must be the summer heat or something) then troll on my friend. :D

Oh yeah! and if you guys want a video of the mount just let me know. Only problem is my EVO is my video recorder, but I can still go ahead and try it if ya'll want.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Thanks for the review! I was actually just on their website before I came across your post. (Its actually still open in another window lol.) Can you comment on the amount of weight it can support based on its area? I know some of the pads for the phone were pretty big, but other were smaller circles. Do you think the smaller ones would be able to support our Evos?
[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
"It’s pretty simple, really. Clingo holds your phone. It doesn’t matter if it is a BlackBerry, iPhone, Droid, Samsung, or whatever. Whether in your car, at the office, at home, or wherever - Clingo holds it."

That's a statement from the clingo website. That is for all there products except for the little necklaces which are designed specifically for iPod nanos. So according to them any of there products should be able to support any mobile device, including our EVOs.

From my experience, which is still limited, it really doesn't seem like too much surface area is necessary to grip the phone. Also, all the "Universal Products" seem to have the same surface area and shape. They only have two products that I can see with smaller surface area. One is the nano necklace and the other is the parabolic sounds sphere....

However, I remember somebody posting something about there evos slipping a little bit while using the clingo car mount and an innocase. Not sure how accurate that is though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
He stated the arm came down a bit, the phone itself stayed put on the holder, but the entire assembly (ball joint) rotated down a bit.
[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
ahh...well in his case all he had to do was adjust the knob and tighten it, which is easily done.

Thanks for clarifying that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hx3:
I believe you guys are referring to my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7667216&postcount=22

When using the mount with my Evo and Innocase Active Limited Edition, problems arose between the pad and the ball joint at the end of the arm (where you can adjust the pads' viewing angle). The arm wasn't moving at all since it was as tight as I could get it to be. While driving, the added weight of the case was causing the pad to move downward. It felt like it was much easier to move the pad around the ball joint when the case was in use. I tried every which way to get the phone to sit still but it continuously moved down, to the point where I couldn't view the screen very well at all.

It doesn't really bother me, though, since the mount works perfectly on a naked Evo. Once I removed the case, the pad was not moving whatsoever and the connection between it and the jointed ball seemed much stiffer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
I just ordered the parabolic sound sphere... gonna play around with that before i pull the trigger on a car mount
[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
ohh, ok...maybe the innocase just adds a little to much weight for it to manage.... Have you tried cleaning the Clingo and trying it again?
[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
Let me know how that goes. I'm considering buying it, but I want to know if it actually amplifies sound at all be I go for it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hx3:
Yeah, several times. My problem isn't with the stickiness from the green area of the pad, it's with the back where it connects to the ball joint. With or without the case, the phone doesn't slide or fall off the sticky part of the pad at all. But when I use the case, the pads' construction moves down as if it's sliding from the ball joint due to too much weight.

Kind of hard to explain clearly. The phone sticks to the pad perfectly in any scenario, though. I just think the Evo + Innocase Active is too heavy for this mount unless some slight modding is done. Nevertheless, I'm content with using the phone with no case when used with the mount. Works just fine then.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
Oh I have absolutely no doubt that it will amplify sound, im just not sure how much louder it will make things... or if its going to have any strange/****ty frequency response
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
In other words it goes from this | to this /

Take a black zip tie, wrap it around the back where the ball goes into the socket and cinch it down some, may be just what you need to add that bit of extra grip.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadFlava:
Great review.. I have the car dock, the tethering pad and the sound sphere on the way.. should be here today.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadFlava:
Well, all my stuff showed up. The parabolic sphere is pretty cool. It does increase the volume somewhat and maybe add a little reverb to the noise. The tethering pad is okay as well.

The car dock, however, sucks. It would probably be great on a lighter phone. So far my Evo has fallen off 3 times and seems to slide around on the pad. Pretty disappointing.. looks like my quest for a good car dock will continue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadFlava:
Well, Ive done everything I could do to make the car mount work and it just wont. The design is poor and it reflects in the performance of the dock. My dock will not stay where I put it, instead sagging down and eventually dropping the phone. Ive tried everything short of wire tieing it in place (Yay for ghetto engineering) and I cant make it stay. Ive tried zip tie around the neck of the mount, stuffing tape into the ball and socket, etc.. nothing helps. Guess this one is going to end up in the trash pile too along with every other Evo mount Ive bought.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
If you'd point out the failing was in the positioning of the mount, and not the mount's ability to hold the phone on its sticky pad, you might have a good chance of selling it here for not much less than you paid for it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadFlava:
Well, its not just that. The Evo IMO doesnt stick to the pad very well. Maybe its the oil from my hands but I had to put a plastic case on the phone just to get it to stick. For a Nexus one or something, it probably would be great. The Evo is just too much of a beast for this mount.

On a side note, I emailed Clingo about calling me regarding this mount. Its been 2 days and no call back. Another strike against Clingo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bhtoque:
The rattle and shake of my universal gooseneck holder has been driving me crazy since day one, and I've been looking for another option. After watching the clingo demo video with the guy flying over speed bumps I decided to give it a try.

I've been using it in my car for a week now, and am very happy with it. Right out of the box it held my EVO (in the innocase active) no matter how hard I shook it. The grip of the pad is amazing.

As others reported, the size/weight of the EVO caused it to droop forward. If I turned the pad sideways it stayed up better, but a small black zip tie around the socket completely fixed the drooping. I figure putting a small piece of rubber band into the socket should also do the trick while still allowing repositioning.

The result has been stunning. Even over big potholes and grooved highway pavement the clingo has kept my phone still. It is soooo much easier to read without the phone shaking.

Now to see how the cling pad holds up to new england winter.

[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
great to here its worked out well for you. I've had mine for a while and am still loving it, however, i'd like to try out the rubberband trick that you are speaking of... What exactly did you do? How big was the rubber band?

Mines has held up to texas weather 100+ with my car out in the heat, so hopefully it can handle the cold also.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bhtoque:
I have not used the rubber band trick on my Clingo, as the zip tie stopped the droop, but I've done it with similar ball joints. You should be able to find a small bag of rubber bands at your local office supply big box. One about 1/4" wide should do with the clingo. Just cut a piece out of the band and put it into the socket as close to on-center as you can. Line up the ball on the clingo's arm so that the mount pad will be close to the angle you want it, and snap the pieces back together. The rubber will provide grip, and provide enough to stop any drooping while still allowing you to reposition and swivel the mount head.

Do you know if this issue comes up with an Extended Battery 3500 seidio on?

Naked evo with the 3500 battery here... will i be facing the same issues?
[EVO 4G Accessories] starplaya93:
I believe if you do the rubber band fix that is mentioned in this thread, then you won't experience any problems once so ever...

I use a fairly large case, not a seido, but it's still pretty bulky, and I dont have problems with it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] uget2seconds:
Mistyped the question...I was really just referring to the surface area that is given by using the Seidio extended battery cover.... does it still stick efficiently?

:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
I've read, searched and done my homework on this problem, but can't figure it out.

SMS works fine texting anyone in my contact list EXCEPT my wife. I can send a new message to her but I can't reply to an SMS she sends me.

Looking into the details of the failed SMS, it shows it is trying to go to 01214-xxx-xxxx. There's a 0 where there should be a +

Everyone else is +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Looking at the SMS she sends me doesn't have the +1 (like everyone else). All SMS TO ME are on the form xxx-xxx-xxxx and all replies +1xxx-xxx-xxxx EXCEPT my wife.

She's on Sprint, I'm on AT&T. The kids are on Sprint and can reply back just fine. They both have Android phones too. I can reply to the kids just fine.

One more possible clue, she was the only contact that somehow got on my SIM card. I deleted that off and just use my Exchange contacts now. However, that's still not doing it.

*** Solved ***

The issue was the Twitter contact I had for my wife. She and I both have Twitter accounts. We followed each other. The Twitter contact info looked correct but was causing issues.

To troubleshoot I first deleted the Exchange contact. Then she sent a test SMS. My phone interpreted her number with the culprit 0 IE 01xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of xxx-xxx-xxxx or +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.

... the SMS shows as coming from xxx-xxx-xxxx but something in my phone was still appending a 0 .... and my phone still knew my wife's name. So I knew I had some remnant of info of her in my phone. The only thing I could find was the Twitter contact.

I unfollowed her and readded her contact info. Presto!!! I can reply to her SMS texts now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nawcho:
She's cheating on you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_billionaire:
That "0" is the country code, but for some reason its using 2 codes (0 & 1) check you contacts and make sure her number is right in there also

Sent from my HTC HD2 running DarkStone HD2Froyo v1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
Sorta funny, but it would be the other way around, she wouldn't respond to MY texts. I give it a 3 on a funny scale.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_billionaire:
then your cheating on ur wife... jus u dont know it yet...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
And I am trying to fix it... the plot thickens.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Sounds like your phone is fine and your wifes phone is jacked up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
But the thing is, everyone else can reply to her SMS just fine. Thankfully, I have an identical phone to compare with. Both my wife and daughter have EVOs on Sprint. I can reply to my daughter's SMS messages but not my wife's.

I think mr_billionaire is on to something, and I suspected the same. The international code is hosed somewhere. Under call settings I found an international code difference on my wife's phone (than my daughter's) under Settings, Call. My daughter's said 011, my wife's was 01. Changing it to my daughter's 011 didn't help.

It must be some way my wife's contact is stored in my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fi3ry_icy:
mayb its got to do with call barring?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sherlockpwnz:
I'm just going to take a guess and assume that your sig is what your running for your phone correct? if so then I wouldn't be surprised if you were having that issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectikDroid:
maybe...

what if you just hard reset your phone and see if that fixes it....I mean kinda sucks but might work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
Try deleting her contact from your phone, SIM, and whatever server you sync with. Then have her send you a text and try again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MMAwarrior:
This is a known problem, Android doesn't like my wife either.. My wife keeps on saying that i'm cheating on her with my Android... Bottom line man... Give up, they will never get along.. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ferdaus:
ok I might get killed with this one - but did you reboot to winmo and see if you can reply to your wife yet? aint hd2 great? if android doesn't work, go winmo!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] enadiz:
This looks like a candidate for failblog.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
WinMo always used to work, but I figured I'd test again. I booted into Windows Mobile and sent a test and was able to reply back just fine.

Then I booted into Android and ran the same test, ...fail.

The contact should be identical in both since it is pushed from the Exchange server. However, I'm not trusting it. I'm going to delete her contact and re-add her.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:

Ahhhhh, didn't even think about that, I get my contacts synced from twitter and facebook n some numbers come out different but still work.

Glad you figured it out tho.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
So Im not sure if this is a CM RC2 problem or a problem or Gesture search issue as I installed CM RC2 the same time Gesture search got that recent update. But at random it seems the Gesture Search app opens, I haven't touched anything and I havent pressed anything. Its so random. Has anyone else experience this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdraw:
Had the same problem using enoms latest. I uninstalled since I never use it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
LOL

Just disable it in the gesture search options if you don't use it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Yeah, just turn off the new option in Gesture Search. It loads gesture search if you flip the phone back and forth quickly.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
Ever since I flashed LeeDroid 1.8b, I've been having this odd problem. I've wiped the phone since and have flashed Open Desire 3.1.0 and I love it but I'm terrified to reboot my phone. :(

The phone will boot and freeze at the HTC white screen. This happens even if I try to boot into Recovery, (I can hold down vol+down and power button) but as soon as I select Recovery, it will freeze there at the HTC screen.

The only solution I have is to pull the battery and try again. It will do it around 2 - 3 times before it finally boots into Clockwork Recovery Mod SLCD or boot into Open Desire if I don't boot into recovery. This is the same if I decide to REBOOT the phone or power down and boot up.

This problem never happened when I originally flashed Cyanogen. I'm thinking there's still some files or something left that causes this freezing.. I also did a wipe and delete cache before flashing a new rom.

Does anyone else have this problem or help me sort it out?

Edit: Ah shoot.. wrong forum :( My bad..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
no one? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
Although Lee newer acknowledged it, I think it has to do with his ROM. I experienced the same issue while running 1.8b, with 1.8c I haven't rebooted by now, but still I have experienced this only after switching to his ROM and I noticed I am not alone on the ROM thread (other people are complaining too about getting stuck at the bootscreen).

I have changed many ROMs (generic 2.1, generic 2.2, pays, adamg ROM...) and never had such an issue, that is why I think it has to do something with lee's ROM.

If you have OpenDesire I would suggest to reboot it just to see how it will go.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
Thanks for your response man! The problem is that I've wiped and everything and flashed Open Desire and I'm still experiencing the issue. Is there another way I can completely delete/format any traces of any previous ROM? I believe there's still some sort of remnants of his files left that are causing this!

THanks,

JD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastOne:
A full wipe can never hurt.

As for freezing at the HTC screen when trying to boot into recovery, I experience this too. What I have found is that if I press no buttons after booting into HBOOT, until HBOOT has tried to load from the SDCard, and THEN selecting Recovery, Recovery boots every time.

However, if I push a button before HBOOT has loaded from the SDCard, I will freeze on the HTC screen regularly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
I will definitely try that.. do you ever have problems booting though? I freeze on the HTC screen during boot up as well and have to do 2 - 3 battery pulls before it finally decides to boot!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastOne:
I do not, but hopefully a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, etc) will solve that. Have you tried wiping everything?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
I have, but the only wipe I perform is the one in the Clockwork Recovery. Also deleted the cache, but never have deleted or wiped dalvik cache?

I will try this later today and see what happens.. thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tawm:
Just sayin' I've not ever had a boot problem like this with LeeDrOiD. Running 1.8c at the moment.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeDroid:
Ditto.. No issues, its not a rom issue, you may have bad blocks on your nand.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
I believe it was an issue with 1.8b..

Hmm.. anyway to confirm this? It's a brand new device, barely two weeks old and never had this issue until I flashed 1.8b.. I'm going to try to wipe it completely and go from there, hopefully that solves the issue.

What's a nand? :o
