[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] st3v3y_uk:
I had one of these for a while but have now switched to a holder that my SGS just slots into.

It doesn't leave any residue on the back of the phone. It doesn't work too well with leather cases as it likes a nice smooth surface for maximum attachment and a word of warning, it can lose some of its 'strength' if the sun is baking your car all day. Even in England where we just get ****e weather, last summer mine dropped off a couple of times whilst driving which is why I ditched it.

And one final tip, get a retractable car charger because you can then 'set the slack' in the cable so that it does not pull on the phone. Curly cords can cause the phone to work itself loose as they always try and retract into their original shape. Plus retractable chargers are neater too. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jutezak:
I use the i9000 specific one from Ebay (dealextreme actually). I've hacked it a bit:

- shortened the bit that goes over the phone so it will push less hard

- removed some sharp edges that could scratch the phone

- removed the bendy bit and glued the phone holder and suction parts together at a near-right angle

and most important of all:

- stuck a PU anti slip mat under the suction cup and cut to size (a tad larger than the original suction cup). Now the suction cup also sticks to the dashboard :)

Those PU mats are like the Clingo backside I suppose. But a lot less expensive. The grip is very good (too good?) as I wanted to remove it from the phone and I was afraid to pull off the back cover. I'm happy I only stick it to the dash ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] memphisraynz:
I dont have a case on my phone so I can't comment on that part.

But it does not leave any sort of residue at all. comes of perfectly clean.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bigc_13:
Quick update (hope this doesn't count as necro posting) The holder got dusty, started losing its grip, I rinsed it off and the next morning when it was dry it was as sticky as it was when I first started using the holder. Much more time down the road and this is still a great holder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sncrespo:
I'm interessed in it also, but...

The hole of speaker sound, is not covered by clingo??

Because when i'm using satnav/GPS apps i need to listen, but if clingo is above the hole the sound doesn't come out...

Can someone say something about this, please...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bigc_13:
All you would need to do is place it on the holder so that it isn't covering the speaker hole when you stick the phone to the clingo holder. You can stick it anywhere you want on the phone so it's only a matter of placement
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllanonMage:
Only caveat is that smooth/velvety materials don't stick well. My HTC EVO stock battery case doesn't stick for long, and the Seidio active innocase is too smooth to stick. Works great on a stock iPhone and my HTC Universal. Holds that one hard enough to pull the battery cover off!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Sk0ly:
My concern is will it rip off my invisible shield when I try to take it off the mount. I can see the adhesive pulling the film right off the back of my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dodgyc:
I've got this for my Samsung Galaxy S II, and it will almost *always* remove the battery cover due to its grip when trying to take the phone off. Good and bad :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] RMonst3r:
I think you're taking it off wrong man.

You're supposed to use the grip on the Clingo while taking it off.

Mine is still going strong after 1 wash, i love it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] omishi:
Had mine for a while now. I got the vent verison one. The tilt joint is starting to get very loose. So the phone always face downward. Wish it had some kind of tilt joint locking mechanism.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ardethian:
nice, sure gonna get one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] X1pheR:
I've got a black mesh back cover for my Samsung Galaxy S like THIS ONE on ebay.

I've been trying to find a carholder which I can use with the case still on my SGS. Anyone have any experience with this clingo holder since the case is perforated?
[Legend General] thugzie:
Hey.

I have Legend since few months and now I have a slight problem with it. It get so laggy sometimes that after I press END CALL after the call, I must wait 3-5 seconds sometimes for menu to get back to the desktop (during this time a contact photo is still on the screen. will factory reset help? it is happening also after a reboot after 1-2 hours. It is unbranded, unrooted, with the latest OTA update available in Europe.

next thing is that when the phone is laying still, and someone calls me, the ringtone gets muted after 1-2 seconds. can anyone help me with these?
[Legend General] lessirey:
What all applications have you installed on it ?

It could very well be some buggy application.
[Legend General] denisman:
Very well, indeed.

I had similar problems with Desktop Visualizer and Launcher Pro for example. Having too many custom shortcuts and size-heavy images on the home screens caused my phone to slow down to a an unpleasent extent.
[Legend General] thugzie:
Well first of all launcher pro. But before it was flying. I have around 100megs free on Phone memory, some apps (before it was ok), few games biggest one is angry birds and that all. And widgets smoothcalendar, launch x pro and beautiful widgets.
[Legend General] lessirey:
I don't think launcher pro is the culprit here.

But you might wanna check the widgets you' ve installed. Some of them could be clogging the resources.

Try backing up all your apps, uninstall third party stuff one by one and see if they're is any difference.

If you have root (soft root is enough) you could use titanium backup app (free) from market. It'll make the job of backing up and restoring your apps a breaze (including the data and preferences)
[Legend General] thugzie:
I forgot about Skype which is also bigger than other apps. And of course im using advance task killer - maybe that is the problem?

I dont have a root im waitin for official friggin froyo from htc, then im gonna root for sure.. I h8 Sense but its clock app and dialer is unreplaceable.

is there any fast way to root legend without goldcard? (i think I read somewhere that goldcard is only required for branded devices - am i right?)
[Legend General] lessirey:
You could try removing apps one by one and see their effect.

I personally use system panel (purchased, not the free one) installed which enables you to monitor battery/cpu usage. That does help me in identifying stealthy apps which just sits there and consume the resources.

You can do soft root without going through all those lengthy rooting procedure.

You could try modaco visionary, did work for me. use the temp root option to have soft root. and you'll have root till you reboot.

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

rooting is not persistent throughout reboots, so you'll have to use the app every time after you reboot if you need root again.

I used this guide to root my legend and install a froyo rom. it was kind of easy, even creating the gold card was simple.

http://bandla.wordpress.com/2010/09/18/htc-legend-guide-to-rooting-and-installing-froyo-rom/

If you indeed go ahead with it, just make sure to insert the created gold card before running the file

RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_ 7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe

when they say that in the guide.

for the backup using titanium backup, soft root is enough for you.
[Legend General] thugzie:
ok I will try it.. thanks for help, I hope that it will solve my problem :)
[Nook Color General] RichTJ99:
Hi,

I was curious if there is any way to replace the recovery with CWR (or something similar)? I would like to tinker, but i always feel better about having a backup in case something goes wrong.

Thanks,

Rich
[Nook Color General] steve19137:
while it is quite impressive that we have things such as angry birds and launcherpro, we dont seem to even have a system dump. i would think that a system dump would be required in order to better understand the rest of the system, including the nook launcher itself. then we could go after a recovery and custom roms. but i think it wont be long. like a week or two, it didnt take long to root it from initial release.
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
I would assume someone has noticed this, since it seems obvious, but I'll point it out just in case.

Partition 3 is an ext2 partition, which I mounted temporarily. On there are a few recovery files, including factory.zip, which appears to be a full firmware backup. What's puzzling is that factory.zip does NOT seem to be applied when I do a factory reset via Home+Vol Up, as my installed apps on /system are still there (and factory.zip has a script to format and rewrite the system partition).

So....anyone have ideas for how to trigger an update from this zip? It's not as nice as clockwork recovery, but at least we would be able to mess around and restore to factory easily.
[Nook Color General] pokey9000:
try to strings the u-boot.bin that's in that partition (or in p1). The u-boot environment variables are in there. When one of the recovery modes are triggered, a file called BCB is written with a string presumably instructing recovery on what to do. It's a little hard to follow since the envs have to write the string into memory and call fatsave to save the string into the file.

Here's what I can see is happening:

-up+home recovery writes "boot-recovery recovery --wipe-data-ui"

-some condition (dead battery + charger just plugged in?) writes "boot-recovery --update-package=BOOT:charging.zip"

-too many reboots (looks like >7) without devconf/BootCnt being written with 0 (don't know where this happens) writes "boot-recovery recovery --update_package=MISC:factory.zip"

If you were daring you could probably mount partition 2 and echo 8>devconf/BootCnt and I'd imagine it would force a complete factory.zip install.

edit: BootCnt seems to be binary valued, though ASCII '8' should still trigger it.

-if devconf/DeviceID doesn't exist (this is a copy of the serial number file) then it writes "boot-recovery recovery --update-package=BOOT:romrestore.zip". No ideas about this one.

-finally, if a plain FAT microSD is found with the file "encore_update.zip" then it writes "boot-recovery recovery --update_package=SDCARD:encore_update.zip". Guess how we'll get non-OTA upgrades?
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Haha, I was just searching for the string .zip in the recovery binary. I found that, and googled "encore_binary.zip", and here I am again, full circle.

I'm guessing encore_binary.zip only gets flashed from VolUp+Home recovery, right?

I copied factory.zip to my SD and renamed it encore_binary.zip, just to try...Couldn't get it to activate, unfortunately.
[Nook Color General] pokey9000:
I've got one better for you:

I tried what I recommended about /rom/devconf/BootCnt and got the "Installing..." screen. Then a boot loop running through the installer over and over.

Then I broke in by putting a Nooter card in the slot. It seems that u-boot uses itest.l to test the boot count, where .l is for long and we wrote just one byte leaving whatever was in the remaining 3 bytes of ram to stick around. Why it bootloops I don't know. So in Nooter I mounted /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt then "echo -n -e "\000\000\000\000" > /mnt/devconf/BootCnt", removed the card, and rebooted. No more boot loop!

Then for the lulz: On my PC I did "echo -n -e "\008\000\000\000 > /tmp/foo" and "adb push /tmp/foo /rom/devconf/BootCnt; adb reboot". This (writing a (long)8 ) forced the reboot into recovery and then booted normally when done. After doing this, I noticed that adb is enabled (/data left alone), my user partition untouched, but my root is gone (ramdisk overwritten) and /system was wiped.

So if you wanted to remove all traces of your rooting, use the above to force recovery, then use up+home to force factory reset. The next question (which I'm too much of a wuss to explore) is if the recovery or factory reset will rebuild trashed /system or /data filesystems.
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Actually, factory.zip touches data, but all it does is kill packages.xml and wipe the dalvike cache.

Also, the factory.zip script will reformat mmcblk0p5, so it fixes it in that sense, but I doubt it could recover if you started killing partition layouts and stuff like that.
[Nook Color General] staulkor:
I was just looking through the updater-script in factory.zip and I noticed this:

mount("vfat", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/boot");

I just thought it was interesting that mmcblk0p1 is type vfat.
[Nook Color General] pokey9000:
It has to be, otherwise the OMAP won't find the bootloader.
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
I've been messing around with the monster root pack, and can confirm that doing a "Erase and Deregister" doesn't clean out the system; I was still at least half-rooted and nearly unusable. I wiped the transient partitions from CWR and then the eight-boots reset got me back to (what I think is) stock.

I re-applied the monster pack and am having stability issues, but that's another thread, somewhere, I hope...

Dennis
[Nook Color General] GorillaPimp:
The only thing that actually fully restored a rooted (via auto-nooter) NC to stock for me besides using clockwork recovery to overwrite the sys, data and boot partitions is the 3 finger salute - power on while holding down N and Vol+. I manually erased the internal memory just in case auto-nooter put junk on there as well.

Stability issues here too. Can't decide whether to go back to stock, cm7 emmc or stock and sd cm7.
[Desire General] Mhystique:
Hi, I hope you guys can help me out.

I got a new Desire and have set it up to sync from Outlook through HTC Sync. It do sync my appointments, but it don't update they.

Say if I move a meeting to another day or delete it completly. Even though it says is had done a sync, the meeting is still on the original date, and that is getting a bet anoying.

What can I do to solve this problem?
[Desire General] dik23:
HTC sync is a dog
[Desire General] Mhystique:
Maybe it's a dog, but that don't get me anyway, will it?

At least come with a solution to the problem, another app perhaps?

All it should be able to do, is syncing the calendar, contacts and tasks through a cabel.
[Desire General] dik23:
Why do you need a cable ? Doesn't it sync all of that to the gmail account the phone's on ?
[Desire General] Mhystique:
As I see it there is 3 ways to syncronize both the phone and Outlook.

* Cable

* Bluetooth

* By the normal phonesignal (eg. Exchange Activesync)

Exchange Activesync I don't need on a daily basis, cause I will get all from Outlook then (both appointments, contacts, tasks and mails), and it will use data transfer on my subscription to fast, as I haven't got a lot. Besides I think it uses to much batt.

Bluetooth uses to much battery also, but I can deal with that, if I could just find an app, that is free and can sync. both ways properly.

So now I'll settled with the cable, the upside is that it is getting charged at the same time.

The gmail solution is af no go. It is company policy not to use gmail, when we don't know what they may will do with the data transfered. Cause in my mind, they will log the data.

So I after an app that can sync properly, if not I can get HTC Sync to do it.

Does that clear things up a little?
[Desire General] c_shekhar:
Are you sure that contacts in outlook 2007 are sync-ing properly with your android phone using HTC Sync?

In my case the phone numbers stored in fields like "Car", "Radio", "Assistant" etc are not going to my android device.

I am using the latest HTC Sync v3.1.55.

Anybody with such issues?
[Desire General] Mhystique:
I wouldn't know. Normally I just use the more regually fields like, mobil and direct, so haven't looked at that. But I do have trouble with names on contacts, as some gets there middlename removed, but I haven't found "the smoking gun" to solved this problem, either.

Basically I think HTC is cra..... in it's one food. Is there one thing HTC was known for in the past, was it made very good phones for the business consumer. Now they can't even make a decent syncing tool, for the business market.

HTC wake up and get in the match!!!
[Desire General] Meaple:
Don't use Outlook, use Google's products. Cloud computing FTW!
[Desire General] spile:
Take a look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative (free) to HTC Sync.
[Desire General] Heruhur:
I advise to stop using htc sync.

Had troubles with is as well.

Some appointments had 5 identical entries.

Switched to google calendar instead, took me the sweet time to clear up the calendar though . . . . .
[Desire General] Mhystique:
I can't use Google's Cloud products. Company policy, and there is still many issues with legal country policies maybe not being upholded. As long as it is not certain that using the Cloud doesn't do anything not legal, we can't use it.

It is very bad. Just today I found out that one of my contacts wasn't sync'ed properly. Very simple setup first name, sirname and phone numbers, but the first name wasn't sync'ed. But as long I haven't found anything better, I have to live with it, which leads me up to....

Can MyPhoneExplorer sync both appointments, contacts and tasks through USB, and do it way better than HTC Sync?
[Desire General] Mhystique:
I guess it can. Just tried it, and think we are getting here, but do have some questions, maybe you guys can answer.

Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?

The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?

Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?

I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?

If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?

And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?
[Desire General] Mhystique:
Just solved 3 of the above questions.

[1]Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?

I found an remove all button.

[2]The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?

I have changed it to just charge, and it seems to work.

[3]Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?

I also here found a remove all buttton, and then did another sync.

So we are down to these questions

I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?

If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?

And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?
[Desire General] c_shekhar:
Myphoneexplorer is equally BAD. (Rather I would rate it worse than HTC Sync).

The fields like "car", "Radio", "Pager", "Asistant" are still not Sync-ed.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
I never use the slide out keyboard, can I remove the guts of it to reduce weight and have the phone still work?
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
Most likely not.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Try to get your hands on a captivate or i9000 and see if yu can just switch the insides lol but I dubt its worth it
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
Yea, might as well switch carriers if you wanna get rid of the keyboard. Or get the evo
[Epic 4G General] king5697:
Should have gotten an EVO.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
I could have gotten the evo, but I believe the epic is the better phone.

I was just curious to know if there were any successful hardware mods done to remove the keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
the guts of the phone are inside the keyboard. You feel me?
[Epic 4G General] Forcystos:
Exactly. The screen part is just... the screen. And the sensors. And the camera.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I hear crazy glue solves everything >.>

Its not that it can't be done as more likely what body are you going to put it in? if you can make your own body for the phone them I guess it might be possible with a complete take apart..
[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
I agree.

I used to have the Evo, it sucked. I got the Epic but the only thing I hated was the fact it had a keyboard. I've probably only used the keyboard once or twice since I've gotten the phone.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
My suggestions don't use the keyboard. And if the keyboard keeps sliding out duct tape the sides lol.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
even with the keyboard, the epic and the evo are almost the same thickness, try it and see, now as far as comparing between them, go to a sprint store, put them next to each other, and run some tests.

you will see who is faster, slicker, and has a MUCH better screen (and this is before froyo)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mbergh22:
has there been an app or something that can enable the led screen to light up when you have an incoming text or voice mail or something? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] orsini43:
"LED me know"
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
+1

Awesome app :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] J-Hop2o6:
whats wrong with the LED around the trackpad? it works for me when i get notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I don't like that for two reasons. Firstly, there are big intervals between the flashes, so you can't just quickly take your phone out of the case to check you haven't missed something, then put it back. You have to look at it for about 10 seconds.

Secondly, the trackpad is at the bottom. My phone is in a vertical pouch, and by using Led Me Know I can pull just the top of the phone up and instantly see if the LED is flashing or not (ok yes, I know I could put the phone in upside down lol).
[G2 and Desire Z General] J-Hop2o6:
Oh ok, lol.. and don't I see u in the TP2 section also? Lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] ghallab:
search for backlight notification, it need to be flashed with odin.

it works with me flawlessly without any problems at all
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yep, but the DZ blows my old TP2 out of the water ! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] J-Hop2o6:
of course it does, lol!
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
Does anyone know what AMOLED screen dell is using?

All i know is its standard AMOLED (Not SuperAMOLED etc).

Does any one know the model or who makes it (eg, Samsung, LG etc)?

thanks
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
Dunno if its been posted yet but there is an 'Angry Birds Seasons' on the market now.

Dunno the specs, just downloaded it and made sure it opened. There are supposed to be some Halloween and Christmas Themes in there. It looks like you can only play one level a day, like a Christmas calendar countdown.

Oh well, check it out for yourself.

REMEMBER, Mount the SD before you download it from the market!

Enjoy!
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Is that a specific rom issue? Installs and plays fine without mounting with TnT 2.03. Straight market install with no cables attached :)
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
cant wait for my g tab hopefully for xmas, angry birds seasons is great on my original droid :)
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
Nice... Failed for me the first time. Just loaded it like the original.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Works for me under TNTLite 2.0.4.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
Me also. That was the second app I installed after the original AB's.
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
WOW... that first level is hard. I'm going to have to put on my "beating angry birds" thinking cap. LOL
