Landscape car holder.

Looking for a car holder which will let me use the phone in landscape mode. It's a T-Mobile Compact IV, I believe Brodit do a suitable holder, but can this support the phone in landscape? If not, any other suggestions?

Apparently this one will hold the unit in Landscape. Read the replies to my post in that thread and users say it holds in in firmly. I intend to get one.

try one of these on ebay they are perfect for the job and turn 360 degrees.

Hi,
I also have an MDA compact IV and I've bought a Brodit carholder. Works perfectly. You can rotate the holder in any position, including landscape. It is also possible to tilt your phone. This is very useful when the sun shines onto your screen. This is the one I've bought:

Yeah, i also have the broadit (Active) holder with charger. i think its one of the best aftermarket holders out there..
Not the cheapest. but does the job well.
I wold say its about 90% of OEM starndard so not bad at all.
I use a DIY back plate to mount the holdr to the car.. they sell one for your make/model for about £15 but i thould i'd make my own.
EDIT:
Avoid the cheap holders, most of the time they disapoint and qulity is sub par.
Also. the brodit charger is not like the sync/charge cable supplied by htc, its a normal mini usb cable, so a standard USB mini cable will charge this also - just thought i'd mention it

I can confirm that the Brodit active mount holds my Touch Diamond in place well. As it is on swivel I can just turn it from portrait to landscape in an instant. As I also have GSen on the phone the display auto rotates when I do. Useful for Sat Nav sometimes
However I have read complaints that this mount is not so good with your T-Mobile version, because, as you know, it is a slightly different shape - I have read somewhere (can't remember where) complaints that it does not fit so well in the Brodit

My T-mobile MDA compact IV fits perfectly in the Brodit holder. No complaints from me.

I have an old active brodit holder, ya think I could get the passive holder for the diamond and use the old mini usb connector and "make it fit" somehow?

The price difference is so small it is not worth it. I got my active holder for less than £30 plus postage from fleabay. I think passive holder is only a few £ less.

The one's I've seen are more than double prize for active.
active 850-900 DKK vs 250-300 for passive
EDIT:
Checked e-bay:
Passive 16.95
Active cig 27.95
Active mol 42.95
So there's quite a difference

OUCH - I thought we were ripped off in the UK but those prices are ridiculous - £85 for an active Brodit mount! Especially when you consider that Brodit are just over the water from you!
Are you sure you are looking at the active holder, the one that just plugs into the cigarette lighter socket in your car, and not the built in one with the molen connector, which is more expensive (but still not that sort of price)? Or you could go onto ebay UK site or try http://www.expansys.com/ I am sure many would ship to Denmark and it would still be much cheaper.

it's the molen connector. that's what my old holder has, so I thought it was best to stick to the same, as the cable is already nicely tucked away behind the dash.
The cigarette one is like 600 DKK, still f'ing expancive.
I'm concidering the one from e-bay that is £28.95+6.00 shipping.

Your English is much better than my Danish!
My previous mount's wires were all hidden behind dashboard (professional instal). All I did was buy the active mount and then cut the curly lead and connector off and did the same with the old mount (after checking with meter that both had 5v supply to the mount!). Then crimped the wires together, insulating taped it all up, and hid the connection underneath the Brodit dasboard mount I had for my car. So still nicely hidden and no horrible wires dangling across dashboard

I bought the one with a cig plug from First2Save on e-bay, and it arrived today now I'll have to see if I can fit it on the old one somehow.
You know, the mini-USB connector is in a black plastic box thingy. On the old holder, it is possible to loosen two screws and remove the mini-USB cable. On the new one, it's glued together
Let the games begin!

So it's done
The old mini-USB connector, you can see the two holes from the screws
The mini-USB on the new holder. No screws.
It's not a piece of art, I could have been much more careful
The finished product, glued together again and mounted in the car.
It doesn't look too bad, even though I did rush it a little. It fits like a charm, and I can use the cig->mini-USB for something else, e.g. on the old holder and sell it on e-bay haha

Well done! Unfortunately I did not have that option because my previous PDA (Ipaq 6340) and holder did not use a mini-usb port, but instead its own proprietory connector. That is why I needed to check and make sure they were the same voltage before cutting and fitting.

Desktop Dock / charger

(edited)
Well, I wrote nice "review" in this edited post, but whatever was the reason, the xda website was "unavailable" when I click save - and now it is gone, damn!
I really don't feel like typing it all again, sorry. Here's the gist of it: IT WORKS.
"USB Cradle Dock Battery Charger For HTC Sensation" for MyTouch 4G Slide

Price: $9.99 (incl. free shipping from Hong Kong)
Store: just do ebay search, tons of different sellers have it
Comes with standalone charger (AC 100-240V, DC 5V 1A, cable with standard microUSB plug - all specs same as HTC's original charger).
The USB cable I am using to charge it from my own charger (as seen in my photos) is cradle's own cable that's permanently attached to the back.
The charging light is one of those horribly bright blue LEDs (what happened to the nice and subtle green LEDs? It seems like they don't make them anymore ). I have already cover it with piece of black electrical tape, otherwise it would lit half of my bedroom at night...
DOCK PHOTOS
Dock - front:
Dock - right side:
Dock - left side:
Dock - top view:
Dock - rear:
Dock - bottom:
It is sold as dock for HTC Sensation, but obviously it was manufactured for ancient by now HTC Titan!
Standalone Charger: (comes with it)
(notice how twisted is the cable that it bends like this on it's own - that's why mine arrived d.o.a); below close up of the bend spot where it is broken (probably)
Although my set came with broken charger, I have tested it with my original HTC charger and cable plugged into micro-USB rear port of the dock, and it works (it is charging the phone), same as the dock's built-in USB "data" cable attached on the back. Despite seler's description on ebay, both can be used to charge our phone.
Also note that i.e. "my" seller doesn't say anything about the charger.
His description states as follows:
Package Includes:
1x USB Cradle Dock Battery Charger
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(confusing, isn't it? I was under impression that it does NOT come with charger until I emailed the seller)
And since the USB cable itself can be used for charging too, I am thinking about buying another one and using it as CAR DOCK (holder) in my car. All it needs is adding few thin rubber strips (so the phone won't rattle when driving) and maybe mounting it on my dashboard anti-slippery mat or using sometghing to prevent sliding, it would nicely compliment my wireless FM transmitter plug (I wrote about it in other thread)
My conclusion:
GOOD PRODUCT, GOOD QUALITY DOCK, EXCELLENT PRICE!
(even though my charger is d.o.a it is still good deal)
This is product image most sellers use on ebay:
(so you know what to look for, if interested)

Ehhh lol it hasn't arrived yet and I don't know will it really fit MT4GS... I took "guesstimated" chances ordering it, same as I did with "Gold" battery, and although I did view pictures and got exact measurements and what-not - but until I have it physically connected with my phone I won't know for sure is it good (or not), so be patient I will change 1st post when it arrives.
Have you found (or use) any?

Not really. I just posted on behalf of anyone that may use it too. My phone sits on my night stand charging before I go to sleep. Never really found much use for a dock.

Very same here - and that's why I want a "charging dock" for my night table by my bed, before I scratch phone's protruding camera glass or before the glass scratches my night table (either one is bound to happen )
Actual "desktop docks" were needed in old times when I had to sync my phone with Outlook on PC, but since I switched to using Google's email/calendar/contacts (and now even their OS) I have no need for "desktop" part of the dock. I just want a "stand" for MT4GS

My phone never comes in contact with any hard surface. I always put it on at least a piece of paper or something softer. When charging, it sits on top of my wallet. I take care of my phones extremely well

For all of you who don't miss your Palm Pilots sync-up but just want convenient charging, one solution is the Powermat contactless charging. For this phone, you can get the custom battery cover from TMobile for $10, and single-position charging stations are available similarly cheap from many sellers.
Here is a thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479258

Well, it arrived in just 4 days! Fastest shipping from Asia ever, I was very surprised and also unhappy, that's why no link to the seller, as explained in my "review" (first post, edited).

I know you're frustrated from losing a big in-progress posting, but can you clarify? You say you are unhappy, but you also said it works.
Also, I can't quite tell from the photos. Does the phone settle right down so some built-in USB thingy slides into the phone, or do you need to plug some USB cable into the phone after you've got it on the dock?

Not as good as my original review that got lost, but most info is there. HTH.
Ask if you have questions or need more pics

Another dock

I bought this dock for my wife's Sensation, and tried it on my MT4GS, and it fitted without a problem.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007CU1XZM
when the HTC Sensation is fitted, the headphone socket is obscured, but with the MT4GS you can slide the display up of course and expose the headphone jack. It does shift the centre of gravity which could be a problem.
the fit is quite tight you if you do have a case you'll have to remove it - or at least the case back if you have the keyboard open.
if anyone wants, I'll take a photo with it fitted.

I guess you could drill out a whole for a headphone....
Here's the US market version. http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-Product-Charging-Replacement-Sensation/dp/B006VAKXZA

The phone sits pretty well, the keyboard is a little bit slid out as the phone is a bit thicker, and there's no access to the power button. Pretty good thing for 9 bucks value. I'm considering about adopting this dock for my car and it would be nice to have audio-out also there at the same time. Anybody done this?

Well, I bought different dock (also for Sensation) for $10, which you can see in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710736
I had the same idea as you do, to use it as a "stand" in my car. I have tried that in a "dry test" and it seemed like a good idea at first, so I ordered second dock and when it arrived I just placed it on rubbery-gel mat on my dashboard and voila - good to go, or so I thought.
Unfortunately when I started to drive with it, the phone rattles. Placing thin rubber strips didn't help, it only eliminated the noise, but the phone was still (silently now) rattling there on the dock while driving. I was afraid this constant vibration will damage the microUSB port sooner or later, since the port is the only thing holding the phone on the dock, and after couple days I quit using it. Also inserting and removing phone to/from dock wasn't comfortable, because my windshield is at pretty high angle I couldn't just insert phone into dock or remove it from dock, unfortunately I had to take the whole dock towards steering wheel to do it.
I'm just placing my phone on a dashboard mat against the fold (so it stays in horizontal mode upright) and plug the sound cable from my wifi transmitter and power cable if needed. This way is the most convenient way for me. If I won't forget I'll take some pictures.
Anyways, I would strongly advise against using any desktop docks in a car, because - regardless of dock's model or shape - they all have 1 thing in common: phone is being hold there just by the microUSB plug, which is not designed for this purpose, and it is rather delicate and easy to damage (once I broke miniUSB plug in my HTC TyTN II just by slightly prying phone into the dock because I was too lazy to get up in my bed... and the miniUSB socket by design is way sturdier than this crappy microUSB socket in our MT4GS).
Driving will cause the phone to shake/vibrate/rattle in the dock on your dashboard, and I am sure it will cause damage to the microUSB port sooner or later.
HTH

Thanks for the advice. Went to ebay for the official mytouch car kit with holder (with intergrated micro-USB connector) and found one for just a 10.5 bucks + S&H cost. Unfortunately, that seller doesn't ship internationally So I found another one, this time it costed total of 28 bucks. But for such price I get an ultimate solution.

Nice

[Q] Magnetic Car Dock

Does anybody know when I could get a magnetic car dock for my Z3 from? I have the Sony DK48 which I find excellent and would like something like it but for me to use in my car and that will hold my phone secure and charge my phone without me having to open the charging flap?

I want one of these as well!!

Also looking at this. Had a great qi dock for my nexus from choetech and missing the ease of just popping the phone in

Brodit will make one soon I'm sure. This is the Z2 one which charges via the magnetic port: http://www.brodit.com/product.html?id=512635&pn=prod&brand=Sony&model=Xperia Z2
That might even fit the Z3 to be honest.

Yep, they have one.

I ordered one of these a couple days ago and it just arrived. Works really well! I removed the tray since I use a case, but it holds the phone pretty well and charges!

I've always used Brodit docks for my previous devices (like the Z2) -- these are by far the best solution out there -- however the Z3 dock is not available quite yet.
So in the meantime, I'm using my Z2 dock (ordered from ProClipUSA) with some duct tape on the inside of the grips to keep it from sliding off.
I've also tried the Sony XSP-N1BT car receiver, but with somewhat mixed results.

Just ordered the n1bt, hopefully it secures the z3 well enough

This looks awesome. Using my cd slot for a dock makes so much sense and it's probably the only practical place to put my phone.
I just don't understand how it grabs the phone. What attaches (and how) to the phone to magnetically connect it to the dock? Is there already enough metal on the phone or something?
I guess I could then buy a separate magnetic charging cable in case I ever need a charge on the go too.

It comes with a metallic plate and you may adhere to your phone or using a back cover.

I was afraid of that. I don't want to adhere anything to the back of my naked Z3. She likes to be bare.

I got mine now - the version with the cigarette plug charger. But there is a problem: The top grip is so tight that if you have applied any screen protectors, those will be partially peeled off when you slide in your Z3. (I wish they had a return policy, I'd return mine now).
So instead, I'll stick with their Z2 holder (below). This works fine for the Z3 as well, though I ended up wrapping 3-4 layers of black electrical tape around the rightmost "knob" to keep the phone positioned such that it makes good contact with the charging connector on the left.

Any magnetic car charger docks that could work with a Case Mate tough? It works fine with a normal sony dock, so maybe a "looser" car dock may work?
http://www.case-mate.com//sony-xperia-z3-cases/case-mate-sony-xperia-z3-tough-cases.asp

I have the Herbert Richter HR 1245 / 42 ("mini smart gripper 3") mounted on a ball joint on a brodit clip. Total cost ~35€ and it now serves my third smartphone.
For the Z3, the placement of the left clamp is PERFECT, because i could glue my Magnector cable onto the bracket. I always insert left side first, then push the right side in (from the front, not the top; no neet to "open" the brackets, they will hold it fine), which would make the cable snap right into place. The brodit + Herbert Richter solution may not be the cheapest or most practical one for the Z3, but as i said - i'm now using it with the third phone (Razr i -> One M7 -> Z3), so instead of buying 3 docks i bought one and it still works.
On the picture there's a Z1 mini and not the brodit car clip but another universal one. Just to show you what i meant with the placement of the brackets.

Well, I have a normal car charger from Best Buy and have the USB to microusb cable out of the box. I've plugged the cable into the Sony Charging Dock for my Z3 and place it near the dash then put a lot of Blu Tack underneath. I've had no problems since - the Z3 doesn't wobble or gets ejected from the dock (from braking or accelerating). I drive a Hyundai Tucson, by the way (if that info is of any relevance).

[HOW-TO][DIY] Depron/Polystyrol QI charging dock below 10$/€

Hi guys,
I bought myself a QI charging board for my Nexus 4 a few days ago, and decided to build a dock out of the Depron I normally use for RC planes. Now I want to share my build-process to you, as well as the blueprints I created and used.
If you want to build one, too, you need the following parts/tools:
1x A4 sheet of 3mm Depron
1x A4 sheet of 6mm Depron (or another 3mm if you don't get 6mm)
a SHARP cutter knife
UHU® Por Styropor-glue or similar glue
my attached blueprint as PDF and dxf for LibreCAD
and of course, a QI board, e.g. Amazon.de | Amazon.com

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After you printed the pages of attached PDF to an A4 paper, you can softly glue the first page onto the Depron sheet with some sort of spray glue, I used 3M SprayMount for it.
Wait with the second page, for now.
Then cut out the parts with the knife, be careful not to hurt yourself! The knife should be very sharp that the Depron gets cut cleanly, and doesn't rip.
Don't cut out the parts marked red in the blueprint, they should only be slit slightly. After you finished one part, you can safely remove the paper from it, use the knife to pull it away. Put away all parts except the ones with the red mark. Use the knife to remove a layer of about 1mm inside the red circles, look at the picture for a template.
You do the same at the position where we later store the cable, look again at the picture for a template.
Remove the coil from the board with a soldering iron, as the cable is too short currently. Solder the coil onto piece of cable then, don't connect the cable to the board by now!
Glueing time!
Begin with the parts which hold the QI coil: first put the coil into the backplate, then glue the front plate on it. My glue required me to put glue on both sides, wait 10 mins, and then stick them together.
While the backplate dries, glue the two triangles to the long rectangular, this will later keep the phone from sliding to the front/hold the phone at the charging plate.
After everything has dried, glue the front part to the backplate.
Glue the triangle to the backplate like this:
Now take one of the bottom plates, and cut a hole for the cable. I marked the position with a pencil, I suggest you doing the same. Glue the bottom plate to the other parts.
Now it's time for the second page of my PDF:
This page should either be glued to an 6mm Depron sheet, you then only need to cut out one of the parts, or you glue it to a sheet of 3mm Depron, and cut out both parts, which then will be glued together.
Glue the just created part on the remaining bottom plate from the first sheet, and lay the circuit board into it.
Cut the cable from the coil to a suitable length and solder it to the board. Be very careful while soldering, Depron melts easily, also make sure the cables don't get to hot! Then, you can glue the bottom case and the plate together, and you're basically finished!
In the end you can apply some finishing touches, like smoothening the borders/edges where you glued pieces together. You can of course also paint the dock in any color you like, I will maybe paint mine with a black acrylic dye later..
Result:
I hope you liked my little How-To, if you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to comment.

Thanks

first of all, very nice charger. nice work and thank you for sharing.
now i have two questions.
1) how much time does it take to charge and how much ampers does that charger output?
2)does the charger circuit overheat in the base?
thank you in advance

1) how much time does it take to charge and how much ampers does that charger output?
2)does the charger circuit overheat in the base?
thank you in advance

Well, I charged the device from 20% to 100% this morning, and it took about 2½ hours (probably less) to charge, I didn't look on the clock though.. Ampere says about 600mA with a 2A ZTE charger connected to the board, I cannot use the Nexus 4 charger (Got an US version).
Overheating was my biggest fear, but it actually stays absolutely cool. When well positioned (like on the dock) it stays cool, far away from melting the Depron, while when I in before just laid the phone onto the coil outside the dock, it got pretty hot.
Ah, and next time, please don't quote the whole OP. Maybe even edit your post now.

No problem. Glad that you like it

Quick status update: I found out that the triangle stabilizing the charging pad isn't that robust, so I suggest either using a 6mm Depron for it or even two 6mm Depron triangles at the left and the right edge..
