Which accessories choose? - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

Hi everyone! I am SGS owner and i want to uprgarde my gps quality, so i was wondering to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver, but i don't know which one to choose? It will be good if someone can recommend me something. Most importnat for me is quality and also i don't want to buy it for 70£ or more (good prize for me is under 20£).
I also decided to buy car holder and there is same problem, i don't know which one to choose. If someone could recommend me something then please also add ebay or amazone link.
And the last question . On thursday i visit Berlin and if someone knows a good mobile/electronics store when i can buy accessories (screen protectors, silicon case etc.) for my SGS, then please tell me .

*yawn*
Don't bother. Android doesn't support bluetooth GPS. The apps won't be able to use it.

One person in the above link posted a photo of the bluetooth gps unit he's currently using, and I managed to locate it on Ebay.

Worth taking a look at. And it's not too expensive. Now that I know bluetooth GPS does work on Android, I am quite interested in getting my hands on one as well. The Galaxy S GPS does work, but it's definitely not perfect.

Ok! I think i buy it.

HTC Nexus One accessories on HTC WEBSITE!!!!!! TRUE

when i called in to buy a new headphone, the guy told me to go online and purchase "Desire" accessories and that they will work on nexus one, and they do ship to usa (only accessories) not the actual phone. GREAT COLLECTION THERE
THERE IS A HEADPHONE THAT SUPPORTS THE FM RADIO(sweeeeeeet) time to ask paul about good luck (TONS OF STUFF ) Most will work for nexus one i bought lots of stuff $126.89
Here is the link
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=196001
SOME WILL NOT WORK ON NEXUS, but the screen protectors obviously will work
I recently bought the stylus, works like a charm. Good for keeping finger prints off the phone
Lets hope the headphones get the FM radio working!

Peripherals won't activate inactive hardware, especially when there's no code to support those peripherals.
For FM I use the Sony Ericsson MW600. The thing comes standard with a SE X10 so it works fine with the N1. The only thing it doesn't do is list the song on the headset. The FM radio lists the song though.
Did anyone else order???????
i will report as soon as my headphone get to my house, i'm soooooo excited about fm radio.
oh by the way i ordered android sleeve like the nexus1 one. i think it will be alright.
DID ANYONE ELSE ORDER???????

so you are confirming that FM radio works on the nexus one with an FM headset?
I bought an EU Desire Charger last thursday, arrived yesterday (did import the N1 with US Charger which doesn't work in germany.. got tired of charging via USB)
But the headphones don't have the android on it :/
LOL

I'm too lazy to call so i sent them an email. I haven't called about my pouch yet but if i can get the standard headphones with the android on it I'd be much happier.

No the Sony Ericsson MW600 has the FM radio. It's not playing through the N1, rather, the headphone set itself.

thats good, but i found out that its expensive.
I rather get my $575 phone to run a radio,and not pay another 100 for just a radio,if my phone is capable , then it will happen
i just cant believe i paid that much money for accessories. YES CALL ME CRAZY
I even bought all android devices that are available for us t-mobile
have anyone purchase anything that actually worked
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY STUFF YET(probably because it coming from UK to US)
its a good thing the website I guess BUT dam those are expensive items, is that general prices in the UK ? you can get about the same thing for allot cheaper in the US or Canada,
updated
P.S. sorry got a bit confused with the exchange rate, but they still are more expensive then if buying in the USA.

So let me get this straight...
You think buying some headfones from HTC's site that say for the FM radio will get this working?
Can you not see how crazy that sounds?

[VIDEO] HDMI out/MHL demo for HTC Sensation, also with bluetooth keyboard and gamepad

MHL demo video is up, working just like it does in the SGSII (with some pros and cons of course).

(posting stuff about the Sensation and comparison to the SGSII at both the Clove blog and my Twitter account - NZtechfreak there too).
No questions or comments?
The gaming demo is pretty sick. I never thought that would be possible. Nice demo, but it was really hard to hear what you were saying.

Yeah, got a new camera, so working out how to use it properly (doesn't help having a 15 month old asleep in the room next door either!). Will probably buy an external microphone for it soon. Good times gaming with MHL for sure!

Its very cheap for what it is, and a new version is coming soon with dual analog sticks. Only downside is that its made in very limited numbers.

Recommend some accessories

My Brother's going to buy this phone tomorrow, and he asks me if there are any good covers and headsets. I don't own this phone, so can anyone recommend me some?

I love my Galaxy S, but I can't honestly recommend anyone to get this phone. It's over two and a half year old now, and the specs are way behind. You can get a much better one at a similar price.

i'm using SGS in car (as second phone) with data SIM for listening Internet Radio and for Waze or Google Maps and it's perfect with CM 4.3.1 (MacKay Rom). But you can buy some cheap dual or quadcore phone - its better in our reality.

BT S Pen feedback

Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...
The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.
Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.
Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.
I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.
The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !
Where to order one

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.
Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

I am wondering if this will work on a Samsung Tab 2?? I really like it and want it to compliment the Tab and the G2. Thanks for any feedback provided.

Right. Amazon and other usual suspects places have it, too. But the question is where to get a much better deal than $75-80?... without bargaining in Indonesia

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.

Looking to get a Chinese phone import ideas?

HI, a friend of mine picked up the Newman N1 and I was very impressed with the price / quality ratio shown by the phone.
Im going to order one myself soon and I wondered if anyone on here can reccomend any android phone of a similar quality or even better? for the same price region.
Also looking for something that is quite widely supported i.e easy to root and flash.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

As for the Roms and stuff very few ha e support here if any. This is due to many reasons but mostly as china devices are not always honest on hardware and don't follow gpl laws

Look for Xiaomi or Huawei devices.

order from tabao, cheapest place ever, chinese version of ebay...
Can they be good deals on a hardware level ? Yes.
But are you going to get good support even on popular models ? Nope. For this reason I would personally never buy one. What's development, ability to use a warranty, et cetera "worth" to you ?
I would only recommend one as a second phone to play around with or if you want to leave it stock completely and are absolutely sure it will work on your network of choice.
whith Xiaomi you will get the best SW-support you can imagine - each week a new firmware !!
Xiaomi == MIUI !!!
lol
i would suggest you get an Mt6577 based phone, or wait till the quad core mediatek one is out. I prefer the jiayu G3, nice look, good quality and a decent price. I cant tell you what device you should buy, an huawei would be good for custom roms, the Mediatek based devices are great, but can also be rubbish. you should check what device you like and then check the quality.
