Hi,
Has anyone purchased a car mount for their desire?
My Desire should hopefully arrive tomorrow and I'm trying to get some accessories for it! The car kit is fairly essential, I have the bluetooth radio that supports A2DP so I'm very excited!
Could anyone recommend a decent car mount?
I have a suction one for my N95 but I think I'd rather one that clips into one of the vents.
I`m waiting for Brodit to release one for the desire, supposed to be soon.
I used their active kit for my G2/Hero and its good. Easy to fit into your car, took 5mins, you have to buy depending on your make/model and where you want it mounted.
Look at the 'Desire Accessories':

Had it for several days... its cheap £9.99 and holds the phone and charges it as well! Delivery is megaquick too.
I read somewhere that the nexus one brodit is supposed to work with the desire - who's brave enough to try it now!?

Brodit have told me its imminent and to check the website for release (dsldevelopments dot com) within 14 days.
I've used them for years, just replacing the holder on the mount for each new phone.
MOD EDIT - Moved to Accessories forum

Silly question, but wont the Brodit Mobile Phone Active Holder Tilt Swivel for Nexus One be ok for the Desire? It's on the dlsdevelopments website.

Ask brodit theyre fast at resonding. I`d say it might not work as the connections might not align up. I`d try and wait a few weeks for the desire one
to appear.

I emailed them and they said it wouldnt fit due to the clearance being 0.1mm
We're out of stock of Nexus One - but we get some I will test it.
Desire Brodit are on the site coming soon - but there is no date.

Really liked the look of this but I have an Audi A3 and the car cigarette lighter is housed within the ashtray about 3 inches from the outer dashboard. I doubt the trailblazer will fit.
Also it looks like the holding parts would go right over the volume controls on the Desire like it does on the HD2.
MINI WEIGHTED CUSHION FRICTION MOUNT with UNIVERSAL HOLDER for MOBILES SMART PHONES MP3 (SKU 5043)
I have just ordered this one for my desire, wanted something that wasnt a sucker mount and I dont like the airvent mounts, I also wanted something that meant that I could turn the desire from horizontal to vertical very easily without having to dismantle the device or struggle in doing so, lastly I wanted something that meant I could easily fit into another car quickly if i needed it, found this and it seems to fit the bill nicely, I have read up on the reviews on this mount with a garmin attatchment and they have all come back hugely favourable, love the fact that if i wanted to add another phone to the mount in the future all i have to do is to buy another back plate instead of the entire mount. was sceptical at first haven never seen a friction dash mount before but after reading the reviews and watching the video on the link i have provided and it only being £18.32 inc delivery i thought why not, will post up when i have received it and let you know how it is
buybits.com/product.aspx?id=5043
I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.
So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

As I have said here, I think they may be selling the Nexus mount as the Desire mount.
i suspect that aswell because i talked to brodit directly 3/4 days ago and they said it should take at least 2 weeks for the holder to be available.
<START RANT>
It annoys me some shops are selling Nexus accessories as Desire ones - like this dock and also Clove are marketing the Proporta Alu Leather case for both the Nexus and the Desire.
If Brodit and Proporta think it necessary to redesign their accessories to fit the Desire, shops shouldn't be selling the Nexus versions as if they were designed for the Desire. I am sure Brodit and Proporta would have been delighted if their existing accessories would fit as they would increase their market without all the new R&D costs.
I would be very annoyed if I bought something as designed specifically for the Desire, only to find in a few weeks that the manufacturer had brought out a version that really was designed just for the Desire.

Thats rubbish, if it is then i'll kick off big time
EVO 4G got it (check powermat.com)
why not our beloved desire
i searched wireless charging battery covers or cases but i found nothing...
so i had this idea...if i can't buy one, why not make one...
I was thinking something like that:
buy a case/battery cover with wireless charging technology
buy a case/bigger battery cover for desire
detach wireless receiver from the first case/cover
apply receiver to desire case/cover
but I'm a student and i cant afford to waste money so i don't want to buy 100$ worth of gear just to find it incompatible...
so if anyone has any experience please share...any input will be appreciated.
also...if anyone has a charging case for any phone... I'd appreciate a thorough description(size of different pieces)
Get a desire case from ebay for £1.50 and a iphone charger case from mymemory i think for £20 and give it a go mate. i would love to have one too!!!
it won't be incompatible.
The powermat receiver consists of a large coil (the huge flat thing in the cover), a small circuit board and a mini usb connector. So all it does is to transform and send the received energy to the 5V USB connector. This will be compatible with almost every smartphone.
Much more difficult is it to put the coil, circuit and connector in the Desire back cover. It's only possible if you buy a bigger battery cover, and then, with a some skill and time you should be able get it working.
But is all this a thicker Desire and an annoying USB connector sticking out of the rear of the Desire worth the trouble? I don't think so.
Also note, that it won't charge as fast as it does with the AC Adapter. So better get a nice looking docking station.
worth to give a try

Android newbie here, hello
I'm waiting for my Sensation to arriwe and I've tried to find webshop which sells charcheable car holder designed for Sensation, but haven't found one yet I've previously used Brodi's holder with my N900, but they don't have one for Sensation yet.
Any good ideas where to point my browser? Thanks in advance

HTC has it´s own charging car dock for this phone, as a original accessory, so get one from a htc dealer.

I also mailed to Brodit Sweden asking info about Sensation holder, but got no reply yet. Brodit would be the best solution for me as I don't want to stick anything to the windshield and don't want to drill any screws to my car's interior. I also have the car specific adapter for my car already where I can mount any brodit holder.
Brodit is of course a good choice too, specially if you have the base part already installed.
Dock for my nexus came with the kind of sticky platter to be placed on the dashboard, to which the suction cup took it's contact. It was quite good solution too.
The Brodit mount I had for my HD2 was perfect and I will wait for the sensation one as I have the car mount already and just need the phone mount.
I sit mine in my old HD2 mount for now... but cant wait for it to released!

Try www.expansys.com (or .nl). They sell the original HTC car holder.

I don't currently own a Sensation, but isn't the charger connection on the side of the phone? How's that gonna look/work? Having the phone in landscape is not something i would be fond of.
The brodit clip+holder for the HD2 still works like a charm for me. Hope the sensation one will be just as good, since it's kinda holding me from getting one now.
Brodit
Just look on brodit for the Active Holder for HTC Wildfire S
That's how it will looks for the sensation
That's a bit of a bummer, just doesn't look good :x
Well, Brodit passive holder for the Sensation has been launched, so I'm guessing active holder won't be far behind.

Are there any available in the US? I could only find one on expansysusa, but it takes 7 days just to ship it out. I want to buy one, but don't want to fry my phone with some cheap knock off, any place to buy one at this moment?
Well I'm not sure if there is an OEM HTC one, but anker makes a 1900mah battery that works great. I've been using mine for a while, and its awesome! And the reviews on amazon are great. I was also surprised the quality of this thing. It doesn't seem like a cheap knock off at all.
Anyway, I know this doesn't answer your exact question, but I hope it helps.
Hello Guys i found this 2 items on ebay.
They say is original HTC, so wanted to see if you guys think that the price is possible and your opnion of this been real or not.
Cant post links yet but here they are..
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270996377935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270994736033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
The reason i ask is because of the price.
Looks pretty legit to me. 45199 positive feedback. The box with the car mounted one looks to be official HTC. Either way, I just bought both of them so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well there is only a MHL port that is used for charging guess i can connect it to the dock and see.
Not sure about the HDMI but I can confirm these are very solid pieces of equipment and very much worth the $10.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
True, havent tested hdmi on these, but i can say that this are official original and i just saved maybe about 80-100 bucks.
Now installing my second desktop top to put on my office. Got a new back cover replaced battery and wont be replacing this phone for some time now. Specially now that has 4.1.2.

Can you let me know if the Desktop Dock provides enough clearance for a slim TPU Silicone case to remain on the phone while you charge it? Thanks!
Ordered both. Hoping that it will work with hdmi. Really excited for the car dock and hoping that it leaves the camera free.
