You mentioned that you can use layar with the mount, does that mean one of the holes in the back match up to the camera on the phone?

Oh and another thing, would you mind taking a picture of the back of the mount where it meets up with the stem? I'm trying to find mounts that i can rig up to fit the mounting plate and ball joint that proclip uses.
[EVO 4G Accessories] corwinmortac:
Yes the hole matches the camera ...and the ball joint is removable...upload a pic in a few...if you find a way to convert this to a hard mount that would kick ass....I'm thinking that may be workable....

Just ordered one. This is almost exactly what I'm looking for! I like how you can remove the mount from the arm, but still keep the pivot.
[EVO 4G Accessories] corwinmortac:
I'm still loving this holder...did think of two things though.

The mold and injection process they are using is cheap, do I think it will break ...no, but its not pretty if you look real close. There are no magnets so there is no car dock mode...but I'm gonna play around with that...should be easy to hack together.

Awesome....wait does this mean I need to pin out #4 to a grounded source?

yes, i disassembled a plug and connected pins 4 and 5 internally.

If you've got the car home app (i'm not sure if stock OTA froyo has it as i'm on CM6) and you're using it with car bluetooth, instead of modifying a cable you can use an automatic profile app like locale and set it to turn on car mode when its plugged in and connected to your car's bluetooth (the activation rule can be set for particular bluetooth devices)
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Can you exit out of it while the phone is docked though?
[EVO 4G Accessories] dabigcheezze:
Yes, hit home, done.

[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Interesting, thanks! I read somewhere that it didn't let you do that. So now I have to figure out if it's worth the effort in grounding the pin versus putting the app on a home screen and clicking it when I get in the car.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dabigcheezze:
It will also allow you to use usb audio from your mounted SD card on a usb capable headunit.

[EVO 4G Accessories] apristel:
If you just use the car mode app does it allow you to use usb audio like you say? I never plugged mine into my deck, I knew the hero didn't do it so I never tried on this one...or do you have to have the pin shorted?

Hacked up the holder section for use with proclip ball joint

So in the spirit of the cases that got hacked in to holders by putting two things together,I took this holder and mated it to the proclip system. I had a vehicle mount for my subaru that i couldn't use since proclip didn't have a device holder section for the evo yet, and when i saw this the little hamsters in my head got to running and i figured since the device holder / vehicle holder for proclip is modular, whats to stop me from making this in to the device holder?

First, here's the finished product:

Now what I did:

Since i am using the ball join from my pre-existing device holder, i had to seperate the holder section from the ball joint section. The guy who made this thing used glue to hold the two pieces together, and its some pretty strong glue, but nothing a hair dryer or a heat gun can't soften and loosen up.

I then had to clean up the leftover adhesive because you're gonna need a flat surface to get everything mated properly. There are some gouges in the holder back because i was being lazy and used an xacto to scrape so i gouged it up quite a bit.

After thats done, the next step is to drill the holes necessary to attach the proclip ball joint, i suggest using the proclip device holder to line up the holes. You're trying to attach this to the holder:

Line it up like so: if you do it portrait style like i did, then you have more range going left > right but less up and down, do it landscape style and its the other way around (its landscape style from proclip but i screwed up the drilling BIG time so i had to go portrait)

Finished the drilling. Notice that i TRIED to countersink the holes a little because as you can see in the above picture the smaller screws are countersunk so it doesn't contact the device. The huge hole to the right side is my massive failure at gauging depth and as a result i just made the hole huge.

The center hole is there because you need a hole to access the central screw, which is how it attaches to the baseplate.

Put together:

On he picture above, its quite evident that the countersinking doesn't do much since the material is so thin that you can't really go deep, as a result the screw are poking out. In order to prevent the screws from scuffing up your nice innocase II, I was going to get some of that felt with adhesive on the back of it that people used to make the original innocase II's fit better, but since i didn't have any around i just found squares of velcro to tide me over.

Once installed to the baseplate and everything is set up, the fitment is awesome and the way the holder has a little flex means that the screws aren't a huge issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
^What car app are you using there man?
[EVO 4G Accessories] lacrossev:
I'm on CM6 nightlies, i think thats the car home app that comes with AOSP froyo

Question for OP, or anything else with this mount. In the demo video the ebay seller shows, it looks like it is really east to switch from portrait to landscape. Like, to easy.

I am afraid of hitting bumps and having it move from one to the other. Have any of you guys noticed it doing this?

I currently use a soundgate generic mount, and the damn thing is already pealing off my dash, so want to find a good replacement that will fit my case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] amcfarla:
This holder is great(and a plus that you can use it with a case on the evo) the only issues I have seen with it, the suction cup seems to lose its suction when the window gets hot, and the adjustable arm does create a little vibration to the mount when driving. But for the price and if you are needing a mount that will work with a case this car mount is perfect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] frankpreyes:
Check out an app called custom car home. Then get tasker. It is less expensive than locale. Go onto the tasker wiki and download a profile called power profile. You will need to change the program that car mode starts from the default program over to custom car home. Then when you plug in a usb charger, tasker will ask you if you want car, home, or night mode. If you choose car mode, gps will turn on, BT will turn on, and the alternate dock program will start. I have both sprint nav. and google nav. available on my car dock. Search for my earlier post on this site for the mod I did using the $6.00

Ebay mount and my existing magellan mount. I was using the other car dock program called car dock 2. Now I'm using custom car home. It displays the app icons better.

The adjustable pivot does not auto rotate in my dodge nitro on 20's driving on dallas roads....still no issues like that seen....
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
Thanks for the reply :) I plan on ordering one of these on payday then.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kennyc1:
spoke to the seller today.

it turned out this seller is local to me. I went to his storefront today and purchased one in person.

These are actually hand made. It took him about 15 minutes to make mine. My guess is he just mold the material around some template, let it cool, drills holes / grinds down the border and assemble the mount. It's definitely not a looker but it does it's job very well. I will probably grind/sand down some edges to make it look nicer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Wasney:
Lucky, I have to wait for mine to get here...would like to just go buy it in person.
[EVO 4G Accessories] berardi:
OP thanks for the review this thing looks awesome! price is a little steep but it looks like one of the slickest solutions I've seen. you could even use it like a police cam with the holes on the back haha..

2 questions:

1. I have a silcone case that adds a small amount of bulk to my phone. Do you think it would still fit or is it real snug to the actual phone case itself? Or would the silicone case be too bulky?

2. What kind of material are the arms that hold the actual phone made out of? Are they flexible or rigid or in between?

Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] kennyc1:
yes.. I recorded my commute back from work yesterday. The mount will shake but it's not bad. But it does shake.

I think it will fit. It's not a very snug fit and the tab is pretty flexible. make sure your case is some what the same size as the platinum case. You can always enlarge the camera hole if it's not perfectly centered with your case.

Arm is bendable. Pretty rigid but bendable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aallien:
Is there any way you can post the video? I have a macally mount and I bought it for the purpose of recording video in my car with it far enough back you can see my speedometer and the road ahead. The mount shakes so bad I refuse to use it. So a video demo of normal driving would be extremely useful if you don't mind posting a link to it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kennyc1:
I will see what I can do this weekend.
[EVO 4G Accessories] meatflaps:
Sad to see this thread die. I just ordered a SlipGrip mount for my EVO in an Innocase Active. This seems like the only quality mount I could find that would accommodate the phone and case.
[Droid X General] generic.imitation:
Hey all, just have a question.

I have a liquid aux bluetooth receiver in my car, it plugs into the power outlet and the aux port in my car. It connects about half the time when I turn my car on, but I hate having to go thru the menus to connect it manually.

Is there any way I can have it connect to the car maybe using a widget so it's only 1 click, or any other alternative method I'm unaware of to connect to this one specific bluetooth piece? I don't use a headset or anything, just this 1 piece.

I tried using tasker to automate it but couldn't make it work every time, made it worse in fact.

I guess no one knows then. Anyway, shameless bump
[Android Software Development] fino1:
hello.

i was wondering, since i'm going to get an htc Tattoo these days, and i saw some clips on YouTube: hd2 running android, hd mini running android, etc. is it posible to put WM on some android powered device...??

i know, iknow, android i so much better than the WM, but i would like to see WM running on, soon to be mine, HTC Tattoo... :D
[Android Software Development] tb87:
Doubt it since the file system for Android is based of Linux.
[Android Software Development] t12icky0:
then y not just buy a WM phone? y buy an android to have windows mobile?
[Android Software Development] evolutionqy7:
i know where hes coming from :) i got hd2 and it runs android fine :) but i still want to keep WinMo ;) but i want to run WinMo as a 2nd OS
[Android Software Development] orb3000:
WM!!!

That´s the wonder of WM:cool:

It is wonderful to be able to switch between OS!!

If in some moment I just thought about moving to Android with this dual boot I´m staying in WM all the way!!
[Android Software Development] fino1:
thanks for understanding, that's just what i want... but it seems it can't be done... damn.

so, how's Android running on your HD2?? is it laggy or smtn? is it running properly, like on any other android device...?
[Android Software Development] egzthunder1:
It is actually pretty good and stable. Battery, without very heavy usage, can last you about a day (and I am sure that there are things that can be done to make it last longer). The other device(s) that run Android smoothly are the Vogue, the Kaiser, and the Polaris. Everything works, great battery life, and best of all... very cheap devices (you can get a Vogue for ~$80 on Market Place or eBay)
[Android Software Development] Skye Menjou:
Now If only I didn't break my Kaiser by standing on it I would have installed android.
[Android Software Development] farukb:
it might be wonderful...but not with WM...definitely

and about the wonder of WM...the only wonder is that it can mysteriously and magically crash or get stuck and cause trouble and pain in the ass to the user hehe.

sorry orb but this is getting personal...you and me....we have to argue about this all the way hehe

cheers mate ;)

@fino1: you won't miss anything without WM...trust me..i've been using it since wm 2002 and the android was a relief....although WM is far better,superior and more versatile than java os (mostly used os for mobile telephones) or symbian ,IMO

WM is pure function ...no user experience....in fact user experience is terrible and far outdated, and experience is what does or does not frustrate you

android is more about experience right now,but function isn't far behind,it is slowly catching outdated WM and getting some lead in that race...
[Android Software Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
first ive heard of this haha
[Android Software Development] Puenos:
Well.. tbh I second this request.. I believe in porting mutliple OS to 1 Device it just gains more functionality.. I believe it would be quite comfortable to use e.g. Android for browsing & websurfing.. and on the other hand use some neat WinMo Apps for dunno.. maybe some office work or something like that..?
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
I'm officially sick and tired of receiving all of my MMS messages in the form of a slideshow. This occurs in both the stock messaging program and even in the latest versions of HandcentSMS. Is there a way to get rid of this "feature"? I haven't found any settings or options that allow you to receive pictures as single messages.
[Captivate General] r0zik:
Don't all phones handle MMS as a slideshow?
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
No, not all smart phones automatically make multiple attachments a slide show.

I actually wouldn't complain if you could do anything useful with the slide show, but it is completely unusable.

Honestly, I much prefer the iPhone's MMS style that popped each MMS message up separately. And please, don't give me the stop whining and buy an iPhone instead crap. I love the Captivate and specifically ditched the iPhone for it. That doesn't mean that the iOS method of handling MMS messages isn't preferable to some people.
[Captivate General] agentdr8:
Handcent SMS. Handles MMS superbly.

And it's free.
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
As I said in the OP, I use HandcentSMS and it still displays MMS messages as slide shows.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
I asked this question weeks ago on here and in the android general and got now where. Seems this is the way its ment to play. Even a single file will have the play\pause button. Between stock and handcent its the same
[Captivate General] agentdr8:
Oh, you're talking about when you open the MMS in Handcent. I was referring to the popup notification, which has a "View MMS" button on it, and when pressed, shows the multipart MMS as a single message (in my case, a single URL and a scaled-down image from my security camera).

EDIT: Actually, even when I open an MMS in Handcent, I still see them as single threaded messages, much like SMS. See screenshot.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
This is from stock message app. Had to crop to remove number but ad u can see has.play icon. There are 2 pics in message. Has a.5 sec delay in playing each file. This is a set of pics i sent
[Captivate General] agentdr8:
Ahh. I'm only receiving single image MMSes, so maybe that's why. But the stock Messaging app still shows the play/pause slideshow, even for those that just show a single message in Handcent. I guess it depends on what you're receiving maybe?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Im not at all comparing it to iohone but i sent that message to my wife. And on her screen it has two seperate pics. When i sent meassage i didn't click send as slide i just added one pic then attached another. She has my old 3gs iphone. Would rather my phone display the pics more like iphone style.

Im the only one in my area with the captivate i know of so i can't test to see if this is just some setting i dobt know of
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Ok i gave it another try and in Handcent is u on setting bubble stlye and go to others there is a box u can check for flat mms style. That solved the mms slide show. How would u do that in stock app?
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
Thanks so much! Changing from Default style slide show to FlatStyle slide show makes much better. You still can't select single pictures, can't zoom, and can't save individual pictures without returning to the full conversation; but this is still a lot better than being unable to control the slide show settings
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
Have you removed the stock messaging program from your Captivate? I feel like this may have something to do with being unable to change the stock slide show settings.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
This is either weird or i don't understand what ur saying. When i go to a conversation it still looks the same as the pic i put earlier,,when.i click the play i get a line of pics instead of a slide show.

This is what it looks like.
[Captivate General] agentdr8:
Nope, stock messaging is still there.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Hello -

(Please move this if not in the right forum)

It seems just recently I have been having issues recording video in any format.

I am using the Rooted .6 Stock FROYO ROM

Taking pictures is working just fine but when I try to open up the Camcorder it does some weird stuff:

1) After hitting record in the camcorder the time and flash option go away and just the record button is left on the screen - the phone becomes sluggish and takes time to get back to the home screen and then go stop the camera app

2) if it does start recording hitting stop then sends me to a black screen and then the phone becoms sluggish and I have to force stop the camera app

- Removing video files from the SD card seems to solve issue #1 and brings me to issue #2

a full wipe in recovery does not help - issue occurs as soon as phone is ready to use.

Any suggestions are welcome - and I am curious if anyone else is having this issue

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
Mine is doing the exact same thing. I tried reinstalling the .6 update but that didn't fix the problem. I'm taking mine back to the Sprint store.

My 4G speeds suck on .6 but were awesome on .3 so i have another problem on top of the video recording.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
if you flash back to .3 does your video recording work?
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
I havn't tried that yet. I wasn't sure if I could flash back to .3

However it was happening on .3 also but I just assumed since it wasn't a final build that it would be fixed with .3

I think I got a bad install on .3
[EVO 4G General] tsunami0ne:
Same thing is happening to me... are you running the stock kernel as well?
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Yep -

I am running .6 Rooted - Not DeOXED or whatever

Whats funny is it was working fine - then all of a sudden one day it stopped
[EVO 4G General] tsunami0ne:
I see... this whole time I thought it was the netarchy kernel I flashed that caused it, so I guess I was wrong. Before this happened to me, I recall that I was messing around with the flash settings for video recording... I remember the last video I recorded was a video in 720p while I was toggling the LED light on/off. Then the next day I tried to record another 720p video and it just stopped working.
[EVO 4G General] kauaiboymo:
same here. I was able to fix it by reformatting the SD card.
[EVO 4G General] gmanvbva:
My first thought after reading the details of the issue was a slow/faulty SD card.

Sounds like kauaiboymo may be on the right track.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
If I format / Use a different SD Card

Video recording kind of works but when I try to end the recording the camcorder app freezes up - then after I have recorded a couple of videos the camcorder stops working again.

But I do have some interesting info to add:

Last night I flashed the 8/4 Nightly of CyanogenMod 6 that I had NAND Backed up - I wanted to flash the new RC2 Nightly dated 8/19 from last night

so when i flashed back to the 8/4 I tried the camcorder.. In CM6...

On the 8/4 the camcorder did the same thing ( Recorded some video choppily and then froze up when I hit stop)

I flashed the new nightly over it... and tried recording again

It works just fine....

Soo... I will let you guys know when I flash back to the stock rom if its fixed in there too now...
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Flashed back to stock 2.2 and the problem still occurs but I have noticed something else that may be the cause..

When taking photos only one of my led flash seems to be working.

Maybe this is what is happening can any of you experiencing the same issue see if that is the case for you as well

Went to the sprint store tonight

[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Same exact issue here.

What happens is that after you open the camcorder (or open the camera and switch to video), even if you dont record any videos, /system/bin/mediaserver crashes and begins using 100% of the CPU, causing extreme sluggishness until you reboot the phone.

This bug report seems to match the issue:

http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/issues/detail?id=137
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
I fixed this on my phone.

A few days prior I had edited /system/build.prop and changed:

"media.stagefright.enable-player" to "false"

This seems to be what caused the problem, because once I set this back to "true" and rebooted everything was working again.
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
Thanks for the heads up

This did fix the issue and also grooveshark is working again

so do I go get my refurb or stick with this one now that its working

Wow, that fixed it. I totally forgot I had done that before.

Can I restore my Vibrant to the original factory rom without unrooting it?

Is it possible to boot from more than one rom?
