I'm actually quite pleased with the mountek, I've had mine installed for about 2 months now and when I removed it the dust cover was still in pristine condition.

(Evo stand in used as I needed it to take the picture)
[EVO 4G Accessories] postwick:
I'm curious how well it attaches in other places. On their site they show it in a space between two pieces of the dash, which I like. Might spread that space out over time, though.

Insert rubber cd thing? I never knew they made condoms for CD's and why would you use them anyways? :D

I bought a mount on ebay a while ago for like $15 and it works great. I think it's made by Kensington and is made for an iPod Touch but was sold as an Evo windshield mount and allows a protective case to be used plus it doesn't look like a cheap universal mount. It holds the phone on each side using spring tensioned "things" that don't stick out from the phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tejasrichard:
I bought the mountek for myself right before Christmas...this product has changed my entire driving experience! My stereo had an six plug built in, so I don't have to mess with fussy fm modulators. The screen is in the perfect spot for using gps: it is easily viewable without having mistake your eyes too far from the road, but it does not block your view. Also, not having to dig for the phone when I get a call is a huge plus. I had used the aux imput before, but having my evo mounted right where the cd player is makes using it as a music player feel that much nicer.

The only thing I would note is that it seems to work best with a case. That is not to say it is unsafe without a case, I have never felt my evo was in danger of falling out, it's just that the evo's contoured back makes it sit a little funny. When I out my evo in its protective case, it sits perfectly flat. To be honest, this is a very small nit to pick. Lately, I've used my evo with no case 90% of the time, and I have had zero issues.

[EVO 4G Accessories] postwick:
I ordered one of these on Sunday. Paid via PayPal. I have not gotten any type of order confirmation or any other contact from them, and have called and emailed more than once. I get voicemail when I call, leave a message and do not hear back. They have my money, and I can't get any response from them.

*UPDATE*

Just got a call from them (which means they're up and working at 7:30am California time) and they confirmed that the product shipped on Monday (one day after I ordered it). They gave me the tracking number, and I was able to look it up at USPS.com. It sounds like the communication issue was a problem with me not receiving their emails...I can't find them anywhere, not in my spam or trash, nor even when using my webmail instead of Thunderbird. So I'm anxiously awaiting arrival of the car mount. I saw another thread where people mentioned using it at their desk - a great idea!
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
At their desk? I think they are doing it wrong... Everyone knows that the cd/dvd tray on a desktop doubles as a cup holder.
[EVO 4G Accessories] smokin3000gt:
It would be great if the screw knob was more like a key and could be removed after the mount is tight and also if you could give some sort of measurements of the 'tab' thickness for someone who might want to use it the dash instead of the cd player.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
Surprised nobody has mentioned the Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/ck17hev4c04.htm)

Its a cradle-style holder that works with their Innocase Surface II case (which I also love) and actually HOLDS the phone. And unlike the cheesy universal fit holders the charger is built into the holder - simply putting the phone into the cradle makes it charge. No hooking up a charger wire THEN putting your phone in a holder. And the thing is built *very* well.

Universal fit car mounts are so 90's :p

PS - before purchasing the Seidio, I purchased the HTC branded "HTC Evo Car Kit" - the one with the little silver stem. It's worthless. Even without a case on the phone, the holder doesn't really HOLD the phone - the clip that curls over the top of the phone was badly designed. To achieve a tight fit, you have to remove a protective rubber boot on that part - but then you'll scratch the snot out of the top of your shiny phone. Put the rubber boot back on - and the phone only VERY loosely clips in (if at all). I'd sell the dumb thing but I won't do that to someone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
Two problems with this. 1 the price and 2 not everyone uses seidio cases on their phones. It would be a bit annoying to take your case off every time you want to put your phone into the mount.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
The charger is easily had on eBay for around $35-40. I realize that money doesn't grow on trees - but c'mon - a little perspective. It's a $500 phone. Even with a contract most of us spent what - $200 or $300? 40 beans for a cradle that will actually HOLD your phone seems like a good investment to me.

There is the obvious caveat that if you want to use the Seidio cradle with a case that it pretty much has to be a seidio case (although I've tried 2 different gell/rubber cases that worked as well).

And my point remains - I'd far rather spend a tad more and NOT have the irritation of a cheesy spring loaded pinch-to-hold-my-phone holder that oh, by the way, will politely drop my phone with every decent bump I hit. Not to mention having to plug the phone in *every* time I put my phone in the holder.

I understand the universal mounts hit a price point. I just don't understand price point being the headline when discussing a $500 mobile phone. That's a bit like shopping at Farm & Fleet for tires for your Ferrari.

To each their own.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
I will just stay on my main point then.....most of us use cases for our phones. It is not practical to take my case off every time I get into my car. It wears out the case and I run the risk of it not fitting as tightly or breaking a tab or what have you. It's just not practical, trust me I am not one to worry about price when it comes to buying quality products but I refuse to be troubled by a car mount.
[EVO 4G Accessories] blkswanpres:
Its not just price point its a couple of things, first and foremost that seidio dock is probably the bulkiest and ugliest car mount for the Evo I have seen. I would not want this mount based on that alone. As for the universal mounts dropping phones on bumps that is just total BS, I live on a dirt road, in the country, I have been using these style mounts since I started driving in 98' I have never had a phone or device "politely drop"when I hit a bump, and trust my I have went over way harsher bumps that a pothole, and that includes a rear end collision.

But I think the real reason I prefer mounts of this style is versatility. When my wife and I go somewhere together she will drive, a mount such as this will allow her to use her phone in it, even if I have to take the 15 seconds to plug it in *every* time, I still prefer to be able to do what I want when I want to.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
the problem with that is the whole "suction cup to the windshield" thing. personally I dont want it up on my windshield, because 1.) the sun gets HOT in florida, and I dont want my phone sitting in it, and 2.) I've never trusted suction cups because they can dry out and all of a sudden fall off, which if anything only happens to me.

The cd mount seems like a good idea. But I might probably get it and screw it to the side of the dash piece instead, so I still have my radio available and I can put it lower. As for not being able to play cds, you could just put all your music on your phone, and use a jack!

proclip.com

Great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] expose11:
I looked at proclipusa.com.

Came across them google searching this topic. This is really a good looking product.

Its even more then the HTC one and I cant really tell what is holding the Evo in place? I would obviously want the model made for cases and it just does not show enough of how the phone is held in.

Does anyone have one of these.

I have done something similar to this using an L bracket fastened to an old garmin gps mount. It happens to fit the evo to the T. But its not adjustable. I can only use it in the vertical position. Its also not very easy to get the phone into either. But I have it wedged in between my stereo and the dash.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
I hadn't considered the dual-phone use, I must admit... As far as universal ones dropping phones - every one I ever had did (although I haven't given them the opportunity for 5 years or so). But I suspect around here I'd still be picking up my beloved EVO off the floor (have you seen the potholes in Chicago? Trust me they're worse than dirt roads.

As far as bulky and ugly - on that I have to agree - the Seidio is unnecessarily large. I have no idea why they thought that was a good design. Nonetheless - it snugly holds my phone and charges it in one step - which is what sold me.

I will stay with my caveat as well - if you prefer a case other than the Seidio Innocase - you'll not be able to use the Seidio cradle.

On a related note, I can confirm that the universal style holder (mountek, I think) that fits in the CD-slot can goof up a stereo. My neighbor (who incidentally works for AT&T) bought the Inspire (similar in many ways to the EVO) and the Mountek holder. He has a Kia (I know I know may have been the problem right there) but after less than 2 weeks of using the mountek, his stock radio will no longer play cds properly. Basically he said now, if he hits even a pebble in the road the CD skips. He thinks it did something to some sort of shock absorption built into stereos but isn't sure.

I'd stick with windshield mount, whatever you get.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
I should have offered another caveat (number 14 or so) - I long ago made a bracket out of 2" aluminum flat-stock from Home Depot that attaches in the dash behind the radio in my Honda Pilot. It curls up over the top of the radio and basically is just a place to mount a holder. The Seidio, and for that matter every holder I've had, has a similar design for mounting the cradle itself to the suction-cup-arm-apparatus-thingamabobber. So I just detach the whole suction-cup-arm-thing and mount the cradle to my bracket. Voila.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
Ya know - not using the CD is a good point too... I haven't used mine in 5 years (since I got Sirius as well as the AUX-INPUT adapter). Good call.

Don't sweat it. It's been this price for weeks now. Problem is, it's ONLY for new contracts (no upgrades) and the $99 is only for single plans. Family plan new contract price is $149, and upgrades are still unavailable through Amazon - apparently they are working on it.

so after looking through this site for a bit, it turns out the invisiblesheild screen protector is no good, so I was curious as to what screen protector is recommended and when it would be coming out?
[Desire HD Accessories] brodos123:
Hi

I have tried many different screen protectors and the best by far is SGP.

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/a...ra-series.html

I used the Ultra Oleophobic and it was perfect and very scratch resistant.

It is not yet out for the DHD but I dont think it will be long.

In the meantime I will use the protector from htc.

So, I got on the plane and could not open any of my magazines :( how is it that I have downloaded a mag and can't open it if in airplane mode? How do I put something in my library??

While on the same topic is it possible to read books from kobo on the "ebook" app? I love how ebook "flips" pgs, etc ;) three kobo reader seems so basic and plain...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] susu42:
Same problem with mine.

The Zinio reader is buggy.

It looks like there is a check (frequency unknown to me) for "updates" when you open the Readers Hub.

If you are offline (as in Airplane mode) then the update check will fail AND you will not be able to read any previously downloaded magazines.

If the update check was done before (while online) then you should be able to read your magazines while offline, until the next update check is done.

Looks like the Zinio reader was rushed without proper testing.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] eskasi:
Thanks for the explaination! I will attempt to leave the app open and run the check before getting on flights! Sigh... I hope they fix it soon.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Eltahur:
So I need to be online with the zinio app open before I turn the tab into airplane mode? Then after I go offline, the magazine would continue to display? what about other magazines in Zinio?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] susu42:
Well it is mainly hit or miss.

I was never able to open more than one issue when in Airplane mode, and sometime (most of the time) none :=(

Hallo,

Hab ne Frage:

Ist es möglich auf das HTC HD Mini Android zu flashen ? Sollte es eigentlich denn man muss nur eine von den HTC HD2 Anleitungen befolgen oder ? Sind ja 2 verschiedene Handys aber sollte eigentlich auch gehen oder ?

Wenn das funktionieren sollte, gibt es eine Möglichkeit den SPL auf meinem Handy zu upgraden ? Habe die Version SPL 1.07.0000 und HSPL funktioniert ja nur mit SPL 1.42.0000 und all denen oder ?

Wäre Nett wenn ihr helfen könntet, da mich das HTC HD Mini mit Windows Mobile 6.5 sehr aufregt, es hängt IMMER und es ist sehr langsam ! Wenn das mit dem SPL nicht gehen sollte und ich mein Handy nicht zu Android flashen kann, gibts vielleicht eine andere Möglichkeit mein Handy schneller und flüssiger zu machen ?

Danke

(Hi,

I tried to change from WindowsMobile 6.5 to Android on my HTC HD Mini, but I don´t know how to ? Is the HTC HD Mini same as HTC HD2 ?

If it works, can I upgrade my SPL ? My SPL is 1.07.0000 but HSPL is just working with SPL 1.42.0000 and so one, or ?

It´s nice if you can help, or if it doesn´t work can I do my Mobile faster ? Because WindowsMobile on HTC HD Mini is really slow and ....... :mad: !
