I use the Tetrax Xway. It requires a magnet on the back of the case. I initially thought it would be annoying but I positioned it in the very middle of the phone so the phone can spin on it. I can't tell you how much enjoyment being able to spin my phone has been. :p With a good twirl it can spin for 2 minutes 30 seconds. I really freaked people out when Inception was big as it seemed to never stop spinning like that totem. :cool:

But the actual mount attaches to the car's AC vent which is the perfect position. The center console just seems too far away. It can be just to the right of the steering wheel.

An additional benefit is with a neodymium magnet set I got from ThinkGeek I can mount the phone anywhere that's metal. I just take four of the little cylindrical magnets and form a square with them. The phone magnet fits quite well in the divet in the middle of them. I now have a phone mount on the hood of the oven to load recipes while I cook (or watch a movie). It's quite secure, and the magnet won't hurt the phone. Just keep anything with a hard drive away like an iPod.
[HD2 Accessories] ahennin4:
An interesting possibility would be to buy a cheaper clip on cover from eBay (preferably black) then buy a cheap gps mount. Then glue the case onto the mount. Then you will have an adjustable $10-15 cheap car mount

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpydumps:
Hello all. I'm new to the world of kaosfroyo, and different types of roms, etc. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to fix a couple of problems i'm having with my droid eris.

I traded an old blackberry for it. The gent i got it from said it is running kaosfroyo v31. I was playing around with it before activating it, and realized that when i try to use the camera, the phone turns itself off, then back on again. And when i dial *228 to try to activate it, i cant get the dial pad to come up to select my option.

I apologize if this is in the wrong area of the site, but i'm not as tech savvy as i'd like to be, but would appreciate any help and pointing in the right direction anybody could give me.

Thanks to all in advance. And I apologize again for my lack of knowledge.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigbyrobot:
to program the phone, hold down the menu button till the keyboard pops up hit the numeric key and press one, you probably need to update your rom
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpydumps:
Thanks, I appreciate the help. How would i go about updating my Rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koamalu:
Search for how to flash a custom ROM. theunlockr.com has good info. You don't need to worry about rooting, so it should be easy.

First download the rom you want on your computer. Then plug the phone into the computer. Pull down the notification bar on the phone and press where it says usb connected. Mount the sdcard. You should now be able to open the sdcard on the computer. Move the zip file of the ROM to the sdcard. Not in a folder. Unmount the sdcard and wait till it says usb connected in the notification bar again. Unplug the phone from the computer. Next, turn off the phone. Then while holding the volume up button, press and hold power till the phone restarts. It will boot to recovery.

From there, wipe both data and dalvik by using the trackball. After that push the down volume button to return to the main menu. Then flashe zip from sdcard. Pick the new ROM and press the trackball. Wait till done and reboot phone.

Enjoy.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tats_06:
You can do either way...I just use Root Explorer app and delete things I don't need...I have done it many times and know which ones I can't delete :p So, if this is your first time, you may want to just rename them so they don't run...let me find the link...it was here somewhere :)

[Vibrant General] lazylilsnoop:
is there a way to transfer all my contacts from my HTC diamond 2 to this new Samsung Vibrant?

i backup my D2 with PIMbackup
[Vibrant General] dorsai3d:
Not too familiar with windows mobile, but the Vibrant supports activesync accounts nicely, from what I understand. If not that, I'd be willing to bet that there's an application (on winmo) to sync your accounts from winmo to a google account from the diamond
[Vibrant General] Apexsilverevo:
Easiest way for me was to sync my iPhone with outlook then use outlook to export to a comma delimited CSV file, then import that file into google and it auto syned with my Vibrant. There are other ways, but this was the easiest for me. Hope it helps!
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
IMO this is a very good and easy way. No method nothing is perfect so once your contacts are transferred double check fields to make sure they correspond.

Now when I edit the contacts I have a ringtone option.

[Captivate Accessories] chupacabrachus:
I just got this in the mail today. It is a lot slimmer than the Samsung brand garbage CF 2 piece case.

The case fits together well with the exception of a small gap at the upper right hand corner. I may pop it off and try again in case it's held up. The holes for the ports are very generous (a benefit) compared to the exact cut outs of the samsung brand garbage. It makes it a lot easier to hit the power button and volume rocker.

The exterior is not overly rubbery. It isn't slippery, but it does not feel as though it will bind up in your pocket and be a bear to slide out.

I like it so far, it is quite a bit more slim than the Samsung OEM CF case.

No pics.

Hello i am new to the forum. I am creating a ROM, using Froyo as the platform and the droid incredible as the target phone. Generic compilation was succesful.

I am currently trying to change the lockscreeen. I have some found the locations of some of the lockcreen components. Currently i am trying to figure out how slidingtab.java is called. Are there any others that have some expereinces in changing the lockscreen-

How much thickness would you say this case adds? I have been wanting to ditch my bodyglove shell case for a while and this seems like it might be the answer if it's not too thick and doesn't add too much weight to the Evo.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] JTNiggle:
The case adds .188" to the overall thickness. The phone goes from 1/2" thick, to 11/16" thick. It's not too bad, and it still slides in and out of my back pocket easily enough.

[EVO 4G Accessories] aph:
Sorry, but that is one ugly case
[EVO 4G Accessories] mallman:
well i tried to order one and the guy sent it to an unconfirmed paypal address and I lost my money. I even emailed him after i did the buy it now to let him know my proper address because ive had issues with paypal associating the wrong address with my purchases. Needles to say, i am now disputing the purchase. So the case may be great but the ebay messaging system and this seller do not mix real well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JTNiggle:
You do know that, regardless of what you email the seller, they can only ship to the address given to them by Paypal.

If you need to change things like shipping info, you need to make a note with your Paypal payment when you send it. There is a place for special notes like that. Also, if you are having trouble with Paypal giving the wrong info, you need to contact Paypal about that.

You can't be blaming the seller for shipping to the address Paypal gave them. They are not obligated to be checking emails before they ship items, that's why you always see notes at the bottom of product descriptions that read something like, please email in advance if you have any questions/concerns/special instructions.
[EVO 4G Accessories] siwelk:
Sounds like the seller sent it to an UNCONFIRMED address.

That's his bad.
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
if you don't know how to properly use ebay/paypal, then you should have called the seller and arranged a different form of purchase.

It is very easy to select which address you want things shipped to with paypal and ebay. And it isnt like they are going to send a different one to the seller than what you select, it is all handled by one script/program and it isn't able to send a different address, it just isn't technically possible.

And it is very possible for you to chose the unconfirmed address instead of the confirmed one if the seller allows shipping to unconfirmed addresses. But it is still 100% up to you to choose the correct one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] grad20_09:
If you give the seller an unconfirmed address, that's your bad...
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say it.....so thanks for that :D

J/K I understand that some need a big strong case due to the line of work they are in or due to their hobbies, its all good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] v_lestat:
No ****.

You can delete the bad address frim paypal and use a new one and confirm it.

If paypal is known for doing this tovyou then YOU need to fix it.

To the OP.....

I hope you realize that any type of metal case over your phone cqn and usually will greatly impede your signal.

Alum. Or any metal in a phone case where the antennas are under the shell is just stupid.

As sensative as gps is, that is going to be hurt too. Along with wifi.

I realise it thin metal but why would you want a metal rf reflective case.

Not only that but you are 100% guarented to scratch the living hell out of you phone where the mdtal edges touch the glass and sides of the case on the top of the phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] siwelk:
I don't ship to unconfirmed addresses, ill ask the buyer where they want it shipped. I cant rely on PP. That i have confirmed.
