[Fascinate Accessories] jsp254:
This is awesome, and congrats! You've been picked up by xda and your idea/thread announced on their twitter feed!

I don't have a sammy phone but have tossed around similar ideas for a while know. I made a car dock for my G1 out of kydex some time back. I was able to form it around my phone for a secure fit and ease of removing it by pressing a tab, but had to plug the usb in after it was mounted. Ofcourse the other problem I had was not being able to slide up the physical keyboard.

I toyed with the idea of using a piece of thin but strong spring steel to have sticking out from the tab are to fit between the keyboard and display. This never went any farther than an idea.

However, you have reknewed my interest! I could make a mold similar to yours, although flipped 180 degrees. Have the front of the mold make a J shape under my send, home, trackball, back, and end key, and have the part under the send key wrap to the left and up. Like a J. The base could be formed to follow the shape of the sdcard cover and then folow forward to just before the volume key cutout. Do basicly yhe same to the top area, shaping out the camera button.

This should form a contoures socket for the phone to slip into. The shape and fit should prevent it from vibrating loose in travel, and would permit me to flip up the screen for physical keys access! This could also work on the droid 1 and 2, lg ally, and about any other phone with a keyboard.

Awesome post, thread and idea. I tip my hat to you sir!!!
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
Thanks, I cant believe it was picked up by xda, now with all the views surely we can get someone that has the OEM dock for the fascinate to figure out how it knows when is docked so we can auto launch the dock app.

@ jsp254 looking forward to see your car dock, that's actually my next project so if you have any tips let me know.

I will also like for anyone that attempts this to post their tips and if they added any new ideas.
[Fascinate Accessories] lauchon:
You rule!!!

Great idea!!!
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
I don't mind constructive criticism, but don't make those kind of comments here, it doesn't add any value to the thread. I also stated on the guide that you won't end up with a dock of OEM quality.
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
I think it's pretty cool, a lot of work and I don't think I'm going to try it but's it's a very good DIY. How about showing us something better...
[Fascinate Accessories] thenuge:
The problem I see with the car dock, even in Chicago it gets pretty hot in the summer, and inside a car it could get to 110-120 degrees, would that melt the plastic, or at least deform it enough to have to redo it? If not, then I will definitely try it, as I got an extended battery for my EVO and don't have a car holder anymore.

Great tutorial though, I might have to try it anyways.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
That's a good point, have not tried it in hot weather (its cold here in mass) however it should not deform until it reaches a temp of at least 140f°.
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
wow and I thought it got HOT in Mississippi...
[Fascinate Accessories] thenuge:
it doesn't get that hot outside in chicago, but greenhouse affect is a killer.

I know it is workable at 140f, but will it deform at 110 under slight pressure, like holding the phone? It doesn't have to melt to be a problem, just sag a little bit or change so the phone doesn't fit.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
I think I am gonna set my oven to 110° and leave a piece of the plastic there for 10 or 15 min, I'll let you guys know what happens

Update: It seems like I can't set my oven to a temp lower that 170* so I cant actually test this my self, maybe someone else can.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
I updated the guide and added something for those of you that were hesitant about doing this because of the lack of good looks. let me know what you guys think.
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
A much better choice for the finish would be auto motive body filler aka bondo. It comes in multiple grades/thicknesses much like drywall repair filler or plaster. Moisture doesn't affect it and it's much harder to chip or crack etc. the lighter fluffier stuff is called glaze, and it's not meant to be a big gap filler or be ultra tough and flexible like normal bondo, but rather a quick skim or top coat. It sands very easily and quickly. Sand with 400 grit to about perfect, than spray sandable primer on it and wet sand with 800. From there you could spray a few coats of automotive enamel, and a few coats of clear, wet sand to 2500 grit and finish with compound, than wax, for a true mirror finish like the best auto motive paint jobs :-)
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Toaster oven should do the trick.
[Fascinate Accessories] FlanFlinger:
With regard to whether it switches to dock mode automatically, have you seen this thread on the Galaxy S forum ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=820275&highlight=fun+resistors
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
I am currently trying to get the 1k resistor to activate the home dock app but I was unable, the thread says it should be pin 4 and 5 witch i tried (i cut a micro usb i had laying around, pin 4 should be the one with no insulation and pin 5 should be color black) it might have something to do with me running super clean DL09 rooted, I will try to go back to sock and see what happens, also the guide was for the galaxy s not the fascinate so it might be different enough. I will continue trying.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
i think I will use this on my second dock, I will post my result and update the thread, thanks for the great idea!
[Fascinate Accessories] Fallon:
I got car dock mode working... The only part I could find that would let you mess with the right pins was about $4, none of my cables would allow access to pin 4. I haven't tried home dock, but just changing to a 1k ohm (I think) resistor instead of 619k should do the trick.

Now that I have the electronics mostly sorted out I'm planning on using the techniques from this thread to build my own custom cradle for my car dock. I already have a generic one, probably going to take the generic cradle off the arm, trim off most of the plastic, then just attach the custom bit to the mounting bracket so I can mount it to the arm with the suction cup.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
that's awesome, where did you buy that part at? I wonder why a regular micro usb cable doesn't work?
[Fascinate Accessories] Fallon:
The regular cable wouldn't work because I couldn't get to the ID pin, at least in the cables & connectors I dissected. Other cables may have a way to get to the ID pin in the micro USB connector.

As I linked in my post, you can get the breakout connector at http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031

Made a few more posts updating my experiences. Used bondo for the first pass at finishing the surface to look pretty & smooth. The bondo is pretty darn stiff & a little brittle. Stiff & brittle are less of a problem for a desk dock, but the little bit of flexibility is nice to clamp onto the phone for a car dock where I fully wrap the phone.

Still need to do another finishing layer of bondo, sand it smooth, then paint it.
[Fascinate Accessories] Fallon:
WARNING!!!

Do not use Friendly Plastic for a car mount.

Today it didn't even make it up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit here in Colorado Springs, and my mount started melting up around the camera hole while attached to my dash in the parking lot at work.

Granted I painted mine black, which will heat it up a little more than a light color, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that much better off & would end up melting soon enough.

Back to the drawing board to figure out what material to try next. May make this one into a desk dock now (will be annoying to have the car resistor in it, may just reverse the 2 resistors & use desk resistors for the car).
[Fascinate Accessories] Musicmaster:
Cool idea, although I'd probably make mine out of wood.

has anyone downloaded this and tried it out?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] anakin908:
I have, and I love it.

The problem came when I got carried away. I sent my friend 100 texts, forgetting that he didn't have unlimited texting.

I'm going to pay him back tomorrow, but I think I'm really lucky in that I was going to send him 500, but decided not to in case this happened.

He's not extremely mad though, it's only ten dollars :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] darthmelk:
Wait, in the USA both you and the person you're texting have to pay for the SMS??? Isn't that against the law somehow, not being able to reject the SMS but still having to pay for it? Interesting...

Here I have approx. 600 free messages each month and I seldom use SMS, so from time to time it's fun to annoy people by sending 50-100 messages in a row. Older phones actually freeze when you do that, or run out of storage space for messages and they have to erase all. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jojo_16:
Yes, even phone calls u need to have prepaid load if ur using prepaid...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] eneka:
yea both have to pay for it. I have tmobile and if you don't have a texting plan/ go over your limits they charge you $0.20 each. However you can call them and tell them to block text messaging on your line.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] thundertroy:
yea I know thats the greatest thing. I did that to my friend and her phone froze... dumb old blackberries. ;)

haha that's good. :p. Most I sent I think was like 119? I kinda wanna try to send 1337 texts :p

Hey guys,

I have a big problem with my HD2. I tried to install the NAND Android system but following problem occured.

I updated the ROM with the MAGLDR111 and on the PC it showed me the message, that everything´s ok.

But when the phone reboots it always show a white screen with the green HTC logo. Even when I hold the "end call" button, it will always shows the same.

When I try to update the ROM again, the phone won´t by found.

PLEASE help me out of this mess!!!!! :confused:

there's an entire forum dedicated to this. it's called HD2 Android Q&A

be sure to hold the power/red button all the time. press and hold to start the phone and do not release it until you see the menu.

You do have HSPL 2.08.hspl on there, right??

best way to check is to go into bootloader mode

(take out battery, wait 10 sec. put it back in. HOLD volume down and briefly press the power/red button.)

the spl version is shown on the third or fourth line of text you see on the tricolour screen

Been there, mate. If you're comfortable with flashing via Odin, replace the stock kernel with one of these. I'm currently using hardcore's SpeedMod with very good results. Next, consider replacing your current modem package with one of these (not sure about their respective band support, so please tread carefully!).

Lastly, try some power saving apps, my recommendation would be CF's "Super Power" available from the market. Good luck!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Do not purchase a 32GB micro SD card from ebay. You will get a 2GB card, relabeled to 32GB. It'll even appear to be 32GB when you put it in, as they hack the firmware on the card. But try loading a full 32GB on it and it won't work.

Buy it from a reputable dealer. Yes, there are some legit cards on ebay, but fakes are a RAMPANT problem there.

Any legit microSD 32GB card will work. I'm using the Kingston class 4, found here:

Qed long as it is a micro sd card it should work fine
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Well, if one's willing to take that risk and hassle, yes, they should be able to get it refunded. Personally I just don't think it's worthwhile. I think that the odds are more likely than not that a "great deal" on a 32GB card (<$50) is going to be a 2GB card with a "3" printed in front of the 2 and a hacked firmware. The ones that are going for closer to $100 are probably legit, but the newegg card I linked to goes for $100 and you know what you're getting.

If you decide to do it, be sure you test the card by filling it COMPLETELY to make sure you get the full 32GB (minus what you lose to marketing BS...a "32GB" card should give you a little shy of 30GB (29.88GB on mine). What it formats at means nothing. You need to actually fill the card with data to know for sure. There's a program called h2testw that can do this test for you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Jpp will work but you have to follow certain steps that noone can fully explain why it works.

Flash to stock

Flash jg8 modem

Flash jpp or jpm

These modems have support for 850 but for wherever reason it is only enabled by flashing the magical jg8 modem first.

Prior to the latest modems, this is what we had to do in order to use i9000 roms when 850 was needed.

After flashing the jg8 modem, allow the phone to boot and obtain a signal, them put the jpp modem in the rom zip in place of the modem.bin that is present. All these modems can be found in the modem thread which I am sure you know of.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
Yeah I recall that process before. It seems that at home I dont use 850 but if I am at work I need it. So I cannot just flash JG8 with my current ROM and then JPP I need to go to stock? What stock is this cause stock would be Eclair so not quite sure here :-)
