I have a Proclip mount that i've been using in my car with my old iphone 3gs. I really like proclip but they don't have a clip for the G2 yet. I'm wondering what is everyone using as a car mount?

It works great, had it for my HD2 and using it on the G2. I like the vent mount and it swivels.

That's the exact one I use as well.
Works a treat for me.

I've been using this one from Arkon that I got off Amazon for 15 bucks. It looks a lot like the picture above, and it comes with a mount for the windshield, AC vent, and dashboard. The "clamps" also have a cutoff so I can charge my G2 even when it's mounted!
I can't post the link cause I'm new...but you can look it up on Amazon.
I just bought the Arkon mount, great reviews and great price! Thanks!

Nice find man! I'm going to order one soon.
I kinda wish there was a little less backing for the camera lol
Definitely some great find guys. I actually got my proclip to work with my G2. Ill try to get pics up later. The only caveat is I can't charge the phone while it is in the mount. Why couldn't HTC put the usb connection at the bottom?

I ordered the Arkon SM514 last night from Amazon. I've been missing my N1 car dock like crazy. I like the idea of this one from Arkon even more, because it looks like it will work great even with a case installed, and will give more angle and positioning options than the N1 dock does.
I'll post some pics once I get it installed. Can't wait!
I also ordered one of these 90 deg micro usb cables which may or may not be beneficial to use when the phone is docked. I use a USB charger in the car.
ProClip / Brodit is coming out with their custom Desire Z / G2 mount soon. It's on brodit's main site in sweden, but is not showing up on the ProClip USA site yet. I have their mount for my G1, and it's awesome. Very solid. Here's what the G2 one looks like:
Their mounts are pricey, but IMHO well worth the cost.
Dang I think we have a winner.. Oh wait, no case love?
HMM decisions decisions lol.
BTW as far as that Arkon one up top... what do you think of the cigarette lighter one?

Can anyone let me know if the Arkon mount works in landscape mode ? Since the legs are only on top and the bottom I wonder if the phone will slide out if I turn it sideways ?

hmm according to pics here - http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/assets/g2_mount_gallery/index.html you can use it in landscape mode. I am just a bit worried if the phone will not fall out in that position with nothing holding it on the bottom.
Also pics, video and manual on their website shows G2 in the product pics but not when I got to amazon or any other place that sells it. Can anyone confirm that those versions come with the extra long legs for G2 ? (part SP-SM050-LF - Extra Long Support L GN014-SBH egs (2 Pack) for larger phones)
why do you guys need to have the keyboard out while driving, doesn't make sense to me.
Also for landscape mode
http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Univers...OOZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287631801&sr=8-1
I think this is the BEST mount for the g2.

As soon as I get it, I'll let you know. Check out the youtube video from the manufacturer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH6mJB2wuko). They show it working fine in landscape. Of course that's just on a bench, not in a moving vehicle. I'll check it out for myself soon.
I'm loving the idea of being able to leave the case on to use it, though. That was one annoying thing about the N1 dock...popping the case off every time I needed to use the dock.
I also agree that driving with the keyboard out seems ridiculous.

Would really like to get a nice car dock/clip to use, hopefully one that allows the keyboard to be opened while it's in the dock, and be charging/3.5mm plugged in.

Hey,
First post.
I just got the G2 and a Satachi SCR-31. The universal mount (plus a iPhone mount) works perfect with the G2. It has a clever button on the back that adjusts the width of the holder. Plus cushy sides.

Can you open and use the keyboard with that mount? It doesn't look like you can, but maybe that's just from the pictures I'm looking at.
It may be possible... I'll give it a try tomorrow. I worried that it will be precarious, but we shall see.
it works!
I tested it this afternoon and it works with the keyboard open or closed! I will add photos in the following post.

Nice toyota (scion?) but thanks for the pictures!
wow that's pretty neat. i wouldn't mind getting one.
My head unit has A2DP so I stream music to my car over bluetooth. I would also like to use the navigation feature of the G2 so I would like a car mount, and one with a car charger built in to it would be amazing so I could run the cable so it's not in the way and just leave it plugged in and set my phone down in it and it would charge automatically (I'm lazy, so sue me.)
I kind of doubt that anyone will make one of these for the G2 because those types of car mounts are kind of rare, so I was looking at ones that might be compatible. Motorola makes one for the Droid X that looks like it actually might work. Check out the size comparison:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/T-Mobile-G2-phone-size-compare-pc_4839.html (pick Droid X from the drop down)
and if you click on the side view and line up the phones, you can tell that the USB port is in pretty much exactly the same spot. The G2 is smaller, but wider. I don't think the extra width will be a problem since A. the mount has some extra room to accomidate a case, and B. the front lip is purely cosmetic and could easily be filed down.
It might be kind of ugly, only because the G2 is a little bit shorter than the Droid X.
As you see from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaxqSDkcmP0
The Droid X mount has a removable sleeve so in my mind that pretty much guarentees that it will fit the G2. I'm thinking about buying one to see.
What do you guys think?
What about like this one being used for the Desire? The HTC Desire and the G2 have very similar specs...minus that pesky thickness!
G2- 4.69 in (119mm) x 2.38 in (60.4mm) x .56 in (14.1mm)
Desire- 4.69 in (119mm) x 2.36 in (60mm) x .47 in (11.9mm)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgtEDCWpLgY
I like that one too but is it clipped on to the air vent ... I want to say slits? Or is it clipped somewhere else?
Also, I think the tob clip would have to be filed somewhere cause the 3.5mm jack is almost in the middle of the device so the poses to be a problem.

Im not quite sure, honestly I hope its the air vent. My phone gets sooooo hot when in my car in GPS mode. Being near and in shot of the air vent would surely help, no?
Hmm, come to think of it, Im pretty sure that Desire I posted was in an Iphone 3GS car dock. You think the G2 would fit into Iphone 3GS ****? Id imagine no but like ive said, G2 very similar in size to Desire besides the extra heft in thickness.
It's worth a shot but someone has to guinea pig it for us. I would but I don't get paid till next week and that's a little long to wait for an answer.
I really wouldn't mind trying one of them out though. The droid x dock looks a tad bit more promising imho...

The desire dock in that video doesn't appear to have any charging capibilities, which I would like. I think I'm going to shell out the 35 for this droid x dock. Worst case, I just resell it

Wait bud, we have another thread opened about a bluetooth option for the car. Charging the device became a concern there as well but a few ideas came out.
Now these 2 threads can mingle, you should refer to it to see if there is a better alternative...

Well if you're concerned about having space to plug in an aux cord, then maybe the droid x car mount is right for you. There is going to be a bit of extra space at the top of the phone since the droid x is taller than the g2. Personally, I have a head unit with bluetooth and a2dp so I don't need an aux cable.

Personally, I'd love to see the N1 dock get adapted for use with the G2.
Damn, I can't post links yet...well google "nexus one car dock" and the second result from mobilecrunch has a few nice pics.

That couldn't work, the N1 charge port is on the bottom of the phone instead of the side, and I think it may be MiniUSB instead of Micro.. (not sure though)
My Droid X car dock will get here tomorrow, and I'm going on a little road trip this weekend right after I get off work so I'll probably post an update, and if the dock works I'll put up a youtube video of it too.

Yeah, that'd be great if you could. Also you would have to run this without a case right?
Not necessarily, the droid X dock has a removable insert to accomidate cases. You might have to do some slight modifications to get one to fit. I don't have a case to test it with but I'll definitely see if it looks like there will be extra room.
laying around in house to see if it will work for our G2X?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D1B7BEGSTA-SGH-i997-Multimedia-microUSB/dp/B004WOBN3I
I know its not for the LG, but its a micro USB and has everything working for it including the size ( i think).
If we can not find a decent LG dock, then this one might be a good option... but dont know if it will work for our phones or not. So hoping someone has one laying around at home that they can try out and report back.
Looks like it works with the Infuse 4G. Compare sizes and see if it'll work.
Possibly. The Infuse 4G was huge:
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_co...tion-vs-T-Mobile-G2x-vs-iPhone-4-vs-Infuse-4G
If there is a backplate, it should fit in there with room to spare. Might not be a good fit but it'd work. For $50 bucks though I'd think I'd want something tailored specifically to my device.
agreed... i rather get something for the phone.. but doesnt look like LG has any decent docks that does activate the dock features and all.....
from all I keep reading on the desk dock.. it doesnt really do much other then hold it in place.
I don't know, the dimensions given by Amazon are Product Dimensions: 4 x 3.5 x 4.5 inches which, after you consider the excess on the side, might be a snug fit. Although, given the specs I've found on the Infuse, either these dimensions are wrong or it's not for the Infuse, but more of a Samsung brand charger than a specific handset and, again, is labeled wrong by Amazon.
No matter what, the mini USB is in the correct location. And even if it's a little wider, it still looks better than anything offered by either LG or anyone else. If you try it or anyone else, post up. Cause I'm interested!
I will buy it and post a mini review for you guys, it looks like a perfect fit.

Any update on this? I too am looking for something JUST like this.
wow... nice dock.. and checking the sized.. the G2 is significantly smaller than the infuse.. this should actually work.. hazaaaaa. Did anyone buy this yet?
You can always return it to amazon with no issue if it doesn't work eh?
Why not one of these universal ones on ebay? Link to my search: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=un...+cradle&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Particularly this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-DESKT...689784?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2ec60c78
They are soooo much cheaper and I would think reception to the cell tower (4G Internet) would be less likely to be interfered with if none of the rear surface area is covered. With my G2 I noticed that my connection speed and number of bars was a lot lower when I laid it flat on a table. When I either propped it up on the table, or held it flat with just my finger tips (basically leaving the back uncovered) the connection was fast and strong again.
I like this idea too because I can place it anywhere in the room for best reception and run an extension cable to it to keep it charged, while using the the 4G with wifi hotspot on my PC.
I wonder which is best as a homemade tripod. At those prices I could buy 1 of each and try them all.

Well, I just purchased it. Used the super saver shipping (5-8 [email protected] charge) so I guess we'll know in 5-8 days.
I'll post pics and final judgement as to whether or not it works...
I have the official LG desk and car docks. The desk is not fancy, but it hold the phone up, you just have to plug the power cable in if you're placing the phone in the horizontal orientation.
The car dock is great, solid, great fit. But I may remove the magnet that tells the phone to go into "car mode", since generally that's not helpful to me.

can the car dock be mounted to my dashboard? i don't like sticking to windshield.
anyone pick this up yet?
I got it today... and it is sexy!!!
Now for the low down:
-Yes, the phone will connect in (w/o a cover on only)
-there is a gap though on either side, maybe a 1/4" at most
Even w/the gaps, I can still place it on it's side and the phone stays connected,
although, since it's being held up by the slim-usb connector, I can't see it being
good for the phone.
Now for the bummer (well, kinda) to get full functionality of the dock, you have to DL 'Samsung Home Dock' app from the store. Now, since it's free, you wouldn't think it was so bad, until you find out itlooks for the specific samsung fingerprint in the build.prop in order to install (to DL from market as well, I just took the apk file from xda.) So, now I need to find a build.prop that will sneak me through this little speed bump. Shouldn't be hard, just not enough time to search it out tonight.
Fortunately, the speakers on the G2x are so bad ass, even w/o the addt'l speaker built into the dock, it still kicks it out.
I'll get pics posted tomorrow after work.
Over all, considering our options, I think it's a winner!

Here are some pics of the dock, with and w/o my G2x in it. I want to apologize for the fingerprint smudges that are all over it... Who am I kidding, all that proves is how much I love this phone and use it.
Anyway, on w/the pics.

Dock itself, sans phone[obviously]
rear view of dock. here you can see the built in speaker, speaker line out and the mini usb [power] connector.
A good [but very smudgy fingerprint-tastic] view of the phone in cradle.
This is a close up of the gap.
To be fair, as I've said in a previous post, I can set it on it's side while the phone is in and it doesn't sway at all due to how far in the usb connector fits. Still, I have to think it wouldn't be healthy to place it on it's side w/o some kind of cushion. I'm in the works of forming a silicone slide to custom fit it. Once I have time to do it right that is. I'll post pics after I'm done.
As far as getting the Samsung Desk Home to install, I still haven't figured out how to properly modify the build.prop to recognize it . I've got a post in the modding are of xda for assistance. The last thing I want to do is somehow brick my phone for a dock app [although I would LOOOOVE to be able to use that line out w/my google music beta as an alarm!] but no response yet.
Hi,
I have an universal 5$ car mount in my car, which it sticks to the windshield by Vacuum.
The vacuum suction is pretty good (comparing to my GPS other one which falls down after few minutes :\), it keeps stable for months.
But the spring arms which make pressure on both side of the mobile to hold it, are suckish.
The spring had broken 999 times and it gets really crappy (maybe a cause of the sun [its damn hot here])
So now I'm looking for a new one, I thought of universal or specificly for Desire HD,
I prefer universal so my mom and my brother will also be able to use it but if it downs the quality back to my old crap, it ain't worth it.
I'm open for any suggestion you got.
Thanks,
Yarden.
in my thread about my mazda 6 there was one who linked me a universal holder which looks to be good...
i have ordered it but havent recieved it yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124985
ah the sticky one?
I'm not sure about it, I've seen an explanation video about it and the describer lady when she plugged the phone to it, she pressed so hard to make it sticks,
I don't think that's a pleasure daily mission for me.. :\
I use a Brodit and have done for about the last 5 phones i've had! they are specific to your phone & car though so not much use to your other family members. You buy it in 2 parts, a mount specifically for you car, and a holder specific to the model of your phone. If you upgrade phone, you just buy a new holder for the phone. They are superb quality and hold your phone rock solid.

yes that is one of the options i also checked out. But in my car - it's either going to cover the vents or sit somewhere i don't like - so i opted for the universal one - which the gf also can use for her wildfire

you can use the brodit mount with a herbert richter goose mount. I've done this before with my PDA and it works a treat. Unfortunately I've already binned it as I thought I would not use it since I've sold my PDA. But now I'm looking to make another one.
Can you give me a link for this brodnik mount please?
I barely find something in eBay.

Direc linking does not work so Just go to
http://www.brodit.com/
and search for desire hd.
well it seems very quality and solid.
Unfortunately after long time surfing and finding out that's a worth buying something, I realize this site doesn't sell it, and as I understand it doesn't sell it for my country (Israel)
Is there any other option to buy it from somewhere else? like ebay / amazon?
btw, I have mitsubishi lancer 05, and of course Desire HD
thanks for the tip !

Have you asked DSL Developments, if they will export to your country? they also have these links:- Our Brodit Friends Page that might help you.
You could ask the same of this company, if they will export to your country:- MobileFun.co.uk:- Brodit Accessories

That looks interesting, is it made of plastic, and can you mount the DHD in portrait mode without slipping off the clip?

wow, thats amazing product
so simple and brilliant. I want to buy it.
Where do you see it in 15 euro? the cheapest I saw is (like the original website) 30$ US
RAM Desire mount any use?
I have used the RAM arm for something else in the car but the mount is good.
You can get spares too for it from the dealer or direct and other ends fit too. Just said else where got a desire case from them and a discount when checking out dunno if it will work outside the UK but "TESCO 1" worked when I just shopped for a desire case and iphone charger.
btw Tesco is a big UK shop not a dj
But hey worth a go to save a few $$$ or £££
Steve
Yeah but 95% of these "castom" mounts for HTC doesn't fit if I use silicone case,
And I got pretty massive one from case mate (its double protection, silicone + plastic)
So it ain't useful for me.
Any way I bought that clips universal holder of exogear (for 33$ free shipping), when it arrive ill feedback here if it worths
both can be installed with one hand - VERY important to me ..
just not sure about the design ...
Thanks

From the two, the one on the right. Because of the soft rubber cushions, so the bezel will be safe if mounted without a case. With a case on, either works.
Yep, the one on the right for protecting the N4.
I have the one on the right. I bought it from Tesco for about £6 in store. It works well and doesn't need a perfectly smooth surface to stick to. Mine sticks to the leather dash of my MG ZT with no issues.

I had one of these. Worked until the pads came off because of the texas heat. Never worked again because I was too lazy to glue the pad back and when I got around to do it, I lost the side pads.

They do sell replacement side pads for only $1.50 on their site and Amazon.
inside the CD ?
and you can't use the CD while using it ?
It's not abit useless mount ? why not to use one of the dash or winshield holders ?
I have one of the Mounteks. Haven't used a CD in years so it wasn't a problem for me. I'd rather not block any more of my view putting something on the windshield. Surely, the CD player mount isn't for everyone since it depends on where your slot is located.
The one on the right. Dont like glossy stuff like the one on the left.
Re the Mountek...
Yes you can play a CD but obviously not eject it!
Yes you can order from the UK - it came within 10 days of me ordering it from the US manufacturers
Yes there is no problem charging via USB - the lower "shelf" has a hole for the USB plug.
Proclip/Brodit all the way!
Ordered the Mountek from the US, so I'll post my thoughts.

Bump for people looking for one of the mounts in the OP. Google offers (I think only in the USA, sorry!) has them on sale for $19 bux for the next 4 days. Today is 2/14/13.

I've been using the CD mounted one for about a week. Love it! Much more secure and my CD player still works.

There is an iOttie mount for $10 with free shipping today.
Hope this helps.
If you're looking for one handed operation, the iOttie mounts are the ONLY way to go in my opinion. Plus they have that excellent patented suction cup.

Unfortunately, this looks like the Easy Flex 1. iOttie has an updated Easy Flex 2 where they improved the one handed usability of the docking system. I think the new one is only $16 on Amazon (and eligible for Prime), so it's not that much more either.

+1... i'll never use anything else.
I searched and didnt find a thread for charging docks so I'm posting one. I've gotten really used to the wireless charging with my G3 and with wireless charging gone as an option on the 6P, I'm going to want a nice dock to set the phone on at work.
Anyone else feel the same, anyone see any 6P charging docks yet?

I would be interested if there was a nice portrait dock, but not found anything yet. I was hoping for some official accessories.

After looking at this for a bit, I see that it has the usb-c mounted on a roller bar so it moves with the phone.
It actually looks pretty decent. :good:

Looks like those images were from Kidigi, a known manufacturer of desktop docks. Here is their listing.

I tried ordering their Nexus 6 Dock. They don't sell directly, you have to get them through a supplier. In the US, its NakedCellPhones, their store is mostly based off of ebay listings. It took so long, I was able to get 2 RND ones before they carried the Nexus 6 docks.
I emailed Fuz Designs asking if they would make an adapter for the Everdock. Hopefully they do.

If they make a version of that N6 Dock for the N6P and N5X, I'd probably buy a couple of each (N6P for me, N5X for my wife) so that my wife and I could have one for home and work. That N6 dock looks fantastic!

I have the RND branded one for my N6. Got 2 of them. Very nice and very similar if not exactly the same.

Lol, actually that's what took so long for me to find a n6 dock. Most phones have the micro USB the other way so I couldn't get a generic dock for any phone. This makes a lot more sense.

Looks like it is. It says N6P in the description.
