Thanks

Couldn't wait for someone else to report back, so ordered one myself.
I bought the desktop cradle from Lee262online, and was happy with that, so I'm pretty confident it should be GR8! Also for $28USD delivered you can't go too wrong
Will post back once received and tested.

Thanks.. let us know when you receive it

Update: Gutted
10 days after paying for the holder and waiting for it to arrive, I inquired to get conformation that it had been sent and got this reply:
We are out of stock now.
If the item is arrive , we will shipped to you immediately.
If you can not wait, we can refund to you.
Thanks.

So I replied to find out if they knew when they expect the next shipment and got exactly the same reply.
Then on Lee262online's feedback I noticed an heavily increased amount of 's and someone who ordered the same item for the Elf had commented the window sucker didn't stick and the arms snapped off.
So I opted for the refund which, in Lee's defence, did come though without a problem. So I'm not out of pocket but back to the drawing board to find a reasonably priced car cradle with charger and speaker

I bought this one, no problem with shipping, arrived after 3 days. The speaker works great, but when using the headphone 2.5 mm jack to connect it to my car stereo (To listen to music, iPod like) the sound has no bass. Still looking for a solution. Works great as it keeps your phone charging so no battery drain from, GPS!
Quality is great, great plastics. Holds very good. No complaints at all.

eu26..it does look cool.. but at US40, like a little ex leh. I m in Singapore. tt will cost me abt S$60.. but it only ship to US only... don't think I can gt it in singapore.

Isn't lack of bass a general problem with the Trinity - there are quite a few threads on this and possible solutions IIRC.

It's garbage... I can live with it's crappy sound from the speaker, but what I can't live with is this:
* The phone thinks you're using a carkit, and thus the microphone is disabled. When answering the phone, the other party cannot hear you.
* The speaker buzzes when sms messages arrive or when you trinity is using gprs, just as you hear when you place your trinity near any speaker system.
These are major design flaws and make this thing useless.
The seller didn't bother to reply to me, as I had (mistakenly) already given him good points for the transaction on eBay. He probably figured: I've got my good score, nothing I need to do now.

HTC 3600 P3600 PDA smartphone power charger car mount
Good Morning
I am also pissed at this product.It useless if the mic is disconnected.I am told that its is done on purpose because of a safty issue.
Is there no way to overcome this issue with a software mod.How does trinity know its on a craddle? On a normal charger the mic works fine.

1st Paneuropian HTC CRUISE Released in Greece

Hi all,
I just picked up my Touch Cruise from ezshop.gr – the online shop of ACE-Hellas – distributor of HTC in Greece.
Yes Cruise is available in limited quantities as they say and you can see the photos as proof.
It seems that Cruise belongs to Greece as ACE-Hellas announced it in public 3 days before HTC officially announced it to the press, in the local DTE exhibition show.
Now
The first Photos of the HTC Cruise in Europe only for XDA users

Fresh News from ezshop.gr !!
Cruise sold out already !!

Mastelos & MinOtaVrS Cruise together !!

Nice, can you provide details on what's in the box? MobilePlant/Expansys doesn't say.

If I look correctly, is the screen black?
There have been a lot of doubts about the screen, if they only have a "silver" version or also the "black" version:
<-- the black version
<-- the silver version
Is this really a difference, or is it just the light?
And how does the screen reflect? Is it too much?

in the box there ac/dc socket, usb cable, ear phones, stylus,protection sheath,cd manual.

Thanks man. Look great. Enjoy your new device.

Awesome. They make quite a pair. Both sharp looking devices. Looks like you might be able to tell us if accessories are compatible too.
One HUGE question I think everyone is wanting feedback on is video playback. Since you have an Artemis, this should also be a good comparison. Do you use the Artemis for Vids? If so, what codecs and rates do you use, and does the Polaris do a better or worse job with the same file encoding(s). I think there is a suspician that the Polaris will be similar to the Kaiser (since it uses the same chipset) and the video playback will be poor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351986
This will likely be a make or break issue for me, so any advice would be very welcome.

You have any Artemis cradles or holders? If so does it fit?

Yes the assessories of Artemis are FULL compatible with Polaris we have a brando Car holder and fits exactly..
The first impressions of vids are Perfect, Artemis lag not appears with Polaris we continue the tests and we inform u, The tube also is too fast no cracking like Artemis.

Sweet! Specifics on file encodings would be very helpful and enlightening.
Apparently the issue also affects game play. Not much for games on myself, but I know many others are very interested.

Awesome! I love the black colour that ya got. I wonder if they come in white as well.
Do let us know if you happen to try out stereo BT, and to see whether the music skips while playing high quality stereo. Most PPCs sucked in that...
Thanks!

that is just what im after for my diamond, looks better than the flexi adapter, just hope i can find a uk seller.

try the ebay link in post #2
it's a steal! 4 quid at most, including shipping

how about one of these:
way better (i guess) since allows you to charge the battery while listening mp3.

or the original one:
??

I've just bought one of those on ebay. I strongly reccomend not to get one with a wire, they just fall out and break

Hi Guys
I found that making one is easier. Just take your headset, open the mic housing with a knife, remove the headphones and solder a 3.5 jackplug in. In the pics here I used a Touch Dual headset...It has a volume control.

Hi Driskol
This one you are looking at will not work. There are of these adaptors availible for the HTC, But the one in the link you sent has a mini usb plug and not the HTC type...However that is exactly the ones I use to convert the standard headsets.
The standard MiniUSB has all its conections on the wide side of the connector, where the HTC connector has all the audio connections on the narrow side. see pic

he he..I´m very familiar with this procedure since I used Motorola phones for years It was the best way how to make own adapter ´cause I tried 4 stock motorola adapters and no of them worked properly so I did it my way
btw: mini usb from motorola doesn´t work on HTC for audio - it works only for data connection

I just received my order from http://cnn.cn/shop/audio-adapter-ext...ap-p-4118.html
...they are cheaper & quicker... it fits and works well on my HTC Diamaond...

Projector?

Has anyone actually found the projector for sale anywhere?

Got mine for $180 by calling AT&T. Works great, although a fine adjust for the focus would be better than trying to move the slider microns...
Also would like to find an app that would allow manual over-ride of processor speed change, to maintain constant fps quality for movies...
Also recommend BlueAnt M1 bluetooth speakers for viewing movies with good sound while charging the phone.

I use TCPMP Youtube Stroths version or Coreplayer 1.3.0 Build 6213.
With Coreplayer, I keep it set for Raw Frame Buffer with High Quality.
All my videos get converted to 100% quality .avi and keep the original video size. Some of my benchmarks are in the 300% range, although on battery I usually have some dropped frames and charging no dropped frames.

HTC G-Sensor Patch(thanks chainfire) working/now working list
Look for the version of CorePlayer ripped from the acer s200, i think its version 1.3.2 and make sure rendering is done by gdi.

Projector
I got mine right after valentine's day and I share it with my wife, at the moment i use nero 9 recode and use the ipod setting to convert videos to 480x800 resolution and they look flawless even at 100"!

Is this projector compatible with LG IQ? Does AT&T sell this to non AT&T customers?

Well the AT&T Business web site is showing the Projector in stock again. I just ordered mine and hope to have it here this weekend. I'll post and let everyone know if they fullfill the order on time.
Later

how long does the battery last while using the projector?

Battery Life is pretty Good. I was playing with the projector for a couple of hours. before I had to throw it back on the charger. I haven't tried a constant run yet to see how long it takes to kill it from full charge to dead.
I'll try and do that this week and let you know.
Oh By the Way. I ordered the Projector on Thursday. Paid and extra $18 and had it by 11:00am on Friday. So AT&T does have them in stock and are fullfilling orders on time.

Battery life {constant projector}
I tested the projector life while watching Sherlock Holmes. Its right at about two hours. I was using MP4 at a resolution of 480x272 30 fps and total bitrate of 450 kbps. It played flawlessly, and looked pretty decent. Infrared thermometer showed the device got up to about 52 degrees C at the hottest surface, which was the back of the projector that was sitting on my desk while watching. Battery started at 100% and I had to shut the projector off and charge the phone just as the credits came up. Looks like two hours is pushing it, considering I took the phone off the charger and immediately started the movie.

Nokia Fatboy wireless charging pillow

Anyone knows when will this goes on sale? And for how much?
It's designed for the Lumia 920, but since it also use the Qi wireless charging standard, it works with the N4 (confirmed by a N4 reviewer on youtube, can't remember which video that is though).

I'm not buying a charger for a third of the money I spent on the phone, no matter how fancy it looks like.

Looks like I finally know what to ask for for X-Mas from the GF. She always gets pissed because anytime I want something I just buy it instead of waiting to get it as a gift.
EDIT: I just sent her the link and her response was "If you buy that before Christmas I'm going to punch you in the face." ...looks like I did a good job this time.

I think the FatBoy looks cool and easy to carry when travelling, we just need it to go down in price!

Does anyone have a clue if it's actually cushioned (inside stuffed with some sort of foam etc.) or if it's just covered in a pillow sleeve? Reason I ask is I plan on having one of these on my bed, since I sleep in a big bed and don't use a bedside table.

I'm stoked that the FatBoy comes in so many colours - very cool, but the price isn't

Where from? I can only find it here at that price... http://www.airetechit.co.uk/e-shop/products.php?394676 but Ive never heard of them before.

Thanks for the pictures...how stable is the phone on that charger? It's pretty small, looks like it could easily fall off

Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times, when the phone is OFF it charges fine.
Wonder if its software related?
Model:
http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/accessory/dt-900/
I bought it in the old fashion way, you know on the outside world.
I am going back to the store to check if it works on their display charger, maybe I just have a faulty one.

Hi, any update if the nokia Qi charger would work? Did you managed to test the phone with the chargers on display? appreciate it. thanks!

For those of you interested in the Fatboy Pillow, do note that inside the pillow part is the exact same DT-900 charger that many have reported problems with (see jmquez above). Not sure if the pillow cures those, but it's worth keeping in mind before spending ~$100.

...On the other hand, this is one of those things where having multiples would be totally fine.

That thing looks like something I would bump in the night and catapult my phone into something hard. Looks cool though.

Thought i'd post this on a few of the threads regarding wireless chargers so people can see that there are other options out there other than the LG pad, nokia pillow etc...
Found this whilst browsing for other QI chargers. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.
