Not the sexiest homemade project I've seen but it does look like it would get the job done.

That is THE sexiest usage of electrical tape i've ever seen!

Try this my friend:

Works with the Epic pretty well but you need to use thick cardstock or it won't support the heavy phone...

Good Idea.... wrong execution. I do admire your bravery to post it though. Here are a couple of hangers i've made. The one on the table was for my Samsung Omnia, and the 2nd is for the epic that sits on the vent slots. They are made of 14g fence wire that I had laying around.I've since panted the hanger for the epic.

If enough people like it them, i might make instruction on how to make them
And starskyrob it doesnt matter what anone else says. as long as your happy with the end result of what you made thats all that matters.

..... that's actually really frigging clever. Why the blazes did I not think of this. *considers cannibalizing a hanger at home.

Don't mind that last two pics, they were from a crappy Iphone

Thx! Yea, i saw how to make the one that stands on the table, from a video on Youtube, which i can no longer find.... But i've actually have made a few of these for friends and a couple for myself, just by looking at my first one (the one that stands on the table) for an example.
I no long have the omnia, or i'd love to show you how it looks to have a phone in it... the pic really doesnt do it justice.
Taking your time is key, making sure every bend is not too tight or to lose. Just use your phone as a template.
I'd like to see what you make!

Ummm the desktop charger for the epic is a kickstand. That's why there is that circular groove in the front of it with a lil strip of rubber in the middle. Slide out keyboard the open battery door then horizontally place phone in groove. Works great for watching movies on a plane.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for posting!

Ya'll are ghetto! Just find a business card holder at your local office supply store. They're cheap, and they at least look like they belong on an office desk. Doesn't the night maintenance staff throw your "stands" away every night because it looks like you left trash on your desk?

They were contributing... May not have been much, but its more then what I can say for you.
And the titles says "dont want to spend money"
Trolls be lurking. Do it somewhere else plz.

Like a boss

haha pretty awesome dock you got there XD

http://www.instructables.com/id/Binder-Clip-Phone-Car-Mount/
This is by far the simplest and most effective dock to make it works anywhere and can be made adjustable by clipping in onto a piece of metal or thin wood will take some pics of mine. have made 3 so far 2 for my friends takes about 10 min tops to make one , you do need shrinking tube.

Worked up one of these yesterday. Its BOSS. I love it and it actually feels morebdurable than something id spend ~$20 on

So you mean to tell me you have a $550 phone and don't want to spend an extra $20-$30 for an actual dock or $2 on a biz card holder like the one guy suggested cmon. I took a flight to vegas I was watching movies with my epic standing up in the desktop battery charger. THAT'S BOSS AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE DAMN LOOK AT THIS BALLER. Not damn look at this dude with a beamer that just ran outta gas. Which I would point and lol.

R.I.P HTC Fuze

Hello Everyone, Today I was riding my bike on such a beautiful day, i was listening to my music, i had it in my case and when i was crossing the street the phone had fallen on the road, i went to turn around to get it but i was too late, a freaking car had rolled it up. its a shame ive only had this phone for 3 months and i managed to screw it up, first time this has ever happened, i always baby my phones and this happens, it sucks so much and im so pissed. the funny thing is everything still works except the screen, so i was able to use my mobiler to see what i was doing on the phone so i could backup everything, hopefully i should be able to get a new one though
our thoughts will be with u and ur phone.
hopefully u will find a new phone soon.
sorry about your loss, was it insured?
Damn that sucks, I would be sick to my stomach.
No offense to your personal preferences, but I can't understand why people use cases. Just about everyone I know that uses a case, has had their phone fall out or they drop it while taking it out of the case. My buddy even had his phone pick-pocketed while in a bar. They bumped into him and unlatched the case, kind of funny though.
I just put my phones in a pants pocket all by themselves.
Aww man, that sucks. RIP

Ouch!
I had this nightmare scenario occur to me as I jumped on my bike to ride to the office. (finally warm here - even just for 2 days)
I put mine in a holster on my backpack (www.chromebags.com)...and only listen to music with one ear of my Discovery 855.
sorry to hear that, i too was riding because of the amazing weather, i was using the htc audio dongle which got ran over too but survived
OMG!!! lol...I can't look!!!!
Damn so sad lol.... not even the Invisible Shield could have prevented this!
Bahhh best of luck with your next one!

haha hopefully i should get a replacement soon, but ya if i do i will get a much better case, i wish i could get a bulletproof case for this thing, the funny thing is the screen was what got rolled up first and it did not crack whatsoever, the motherboard, camera, keyboard, sim card + memory card slot, speaker and all the buttons still work, the lcd has no cracks just a pressure mark. that touch screen is tough.
I know it is some serious wishfull thinking but have you opened the thing up and make sure your ribbon cable connecting the screen top half hasn't just been pull apart from the bottom half? Looks like the phone twisted pretty much around the slidin rails (understandably), but if everything works ok except you have no screen at all, I would be opening it up and checking the ribon cables. I have seen a service manual floating around somewhere, can't remember if it was here, but it gave instructions on openning the Raphael up
i have opened it up, i put it back together, but the thing was i didnt know how to take out the lcd panel so that i could see the wiring on that, the lcd cable attached to the motherboard was tightly connected. i basically got almost everything out of the lcd assembly except the lcd itself. the wire itself looks perfectly fine. its all good though, i will have a parts phone, i should hopefully be getting a free replacement soon
yesterday in class my teacher literally took my phones from my hands when i was texting. i thought she woudl just keep it til after class
(this is college mind you)
she then walked to the window and tossed it out. i was in shock i didnt even know how to react
luckily it was grass and no damage but still what the hell do you do in that situation

Car Mount: Soundgate M2 quick review w/ pics

I just installed the Soundgate M2 car mount. So far, I'm impressed.
I had been looking for a low profile car mount that would work with any phone case.
I took some pictures of how it looks in the car.

Wow like the sleek look. But how does it stay in place? Im guessing you need some type of clip holder? I personally like my phone naked but man this looks pretty rad.
You attach a flat disc either on your phone or case. Size of a quarter coin.
I can't even tell its there.
amazing....
that mount puts your n1 in a perfect location to make EVERYTHING electronic below it obsolete, instantly. ok, the AC is kinda 'portant, but that high dolla nav stuff is shot outta the water by the stuff on the n1.
nice mount. do you have a bluetooth reciever so you can continue to play tunes in the ca r after work ?
I do have a bt dangle, but it isn't perfect. I have handsfree Bluetooth through the factory stereo, but if I have both connected, the stereo "skips" often. So I just connect directly to aux.
Thanks for the review.
Was the discoloration around the M2 from the cleaning agent that comes with it? It seems like a perfect match for me, but according to review from Amazon, the cleaning agent is a bit too strong to discolor the surface.
If you don't mind, I'd love to see a close up of the disk that's attached to the phone/case.
The discoloration from the cleaning agent faded away after I wiped it with a moist paper towel.
There was discoloration on the case too, but it faded away also.
Good lookin setup
Wow thats a good lookin setup. I might have to get one now that i see it.
A 7 series Beemer and a Nexus One, hook me up with a job where you work... haha
Thanks. This was the only placement that didn't block anything else, eg. AC, view,iDrive display.
Oh, its an M5 though, not a 7 series.

Though, mine didn't have pictures. I'm thinkin' I might get it, and use it connected to my Gel case. And, just use it like at all times, and have a separate case when one releases to my liking
Not sure why this mount hasn't been more popular. It even comes with 2 attachments for the phone.
thanks for the pic.
looks like i'll have to find a case for my N1 and get this dock

Nicely done man. I spotted the ///M on the gauges...
Hopefully I can get into another ///M a couple years after finishing law school... I miss my M3.
Nice find. It really looks great and this is going to make the wait VERY difficult for the official one.
Nice car, I actually missed the Nexus One in the pictures trying to figure out the model BMW it was..
I had the V1 radar detector and switched to the Escort 9500CI. You should check it out, it has built in GPS so it knows where all the Food Lion's are and never falses.. But the coolest thing is if you drive on a street everyday, it knows where all the falses are, but if it senses a police radar a mile away it goes crazy because it is a new KA, V1 would give me 1/4 miles warning...
Been looking for a 335I 6MT Sedan for months, can not find the one i want..
As for the mount, I am ordering one today, tired of waiting for Google to finally release one..
Thanks for all the comments.
Only little quirk about it, now that I've used it for a while is because it's attached to a semisoft case, I have to hold the bottom of the phone with my thumb to click on the icons. Otherwise it's solid. No movement even under hard acceleration.
Does the escort have a good K band detection? In my area its still about half k and half Ka.
Good luck on your search

It all has to do with where you place, and how you orient the disc that attaches to the phone/case
The disc doesnt release from the mount until you twist it well past horizontal, so if you have the phone resting on the dash, then it can stay on landscape mode.
But trying to place the disc at exactly the center of gravity to keep it horizontal without resting on something, would be impossible, especially during times when your car is taking turns or on curves.

[DIY] Nexus One Macro Lens (Amazing Macro Pictures)

So earlier today, I was feeling rather experimental with my phone, not software wise, but hardware.
Earlier that week I saw a picture of and iphone with a homemade macro lens on it, so I was said to myself- If someone could do that to there Iphone and still hold it right, why cant I do that with my Nexus One? So I did.
It was a lot of trial and error, but eventually I got it, and took amazing pictures, beyond what I ever thought was possible with a phone.
To think our Nexus One's can take almost professional quality photos! I think you will be just as amazed with these pictures as I am .
Please note: These pictures were not edited in any way, just resized for your viewing pleasure!

I know what your thinking! "Hey how do I make one of those snazzy lenses for my super phone?" Well there are many different ways I am guessing, but I will tell you my technique!
Materials:
-Super Glue
-Thick Gauge Wire
-More super glue
-Scotch/Electrical tape
-Disposable camera lens
-Pliers
If you dont have any of these materials, your looking at about $25-$35 USD.
Procedure:
1. Jack the camera lens from a cheapy disposable camera (anyway works, just make sure you dont dink around with the lens).
2. Wrap wire around the lens
3. Super glue it to the wire so it stays
4. Let it dry
5. Bend the wire so the lens fits directly in front of the camera sensor
6. Make it stay on your phone
7. Wrap electrical/scotch tape around the wire to avoid damage to your beloved Nexus One.
8. Take it for a test.
Remember- a lot of trial and error, so be patient. Also, these are very brief instructions- so be creative.
I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone or Camera, or anything.
Here is how mine looks:
If you like my idea and use it and post it around without giving me acknowledgment or credit, then you are clearly a basement dwelling virgin man child. Just sayin'
Please post comments on your thoughts, or if you do it, upload some pics and tell what you did and how it went, cause I am just as curious as you
Donations are appreciated, but never mandatory

What lens did you use exactly? Cause one a size up might get rid of the black ring around the pics. Then they'd be so sick. This is a creative mod and it works really well. Awesome dude.

Watching the video at work without sound. He gets to the 'unboxing' bit of the S4, looks all around the box then opens it. Takes the phone out, puts it down, takes the USB/plug out, puts it down, then takes out the earphones and puts them down. Empty box - next...!

Tough Screen on the Note 3, very tough!

I've had a little accident regarding my Note 3. I was taking part in my hobby (Horse Riding) during a trot my phone decided to fall of my pocket. (when not having lessons I have a Bluetooth ear piece for taking phone calls). Long story short, my phone got trodden on by 200lbs, twice, 200lbs per hoof.
What I want to know is, is there anyone else that has had a lot of pressure placed on their phones?

Still even with the loose substrate I think it held up quite well to the increased pressure compared to other phones due to its size.

I didn't think people we're replying... I don't that was just a wild guess (the horse (Small pony) + tack + me is 800lbs...I don't have a camera to get a picture...but the little tiny crack is still there in the bottom left of the screen.
not sure how much kilos but my daugther always steps on it and thinks that its like something to step on. and she always throws it here and there. i has gone through a lot of throwing. it even landed face first on solid concrete from lets say 20". (not to imagine it was thrown really hard). but not a single dent/crack whatsoever. really happy with it for now. its handling the brutal day to day life. lol
btw, mine has a back case. and the lower/upper side of the phone is completely unprotected. and it has a screen protector that wasn't cheap and that the guy that sold it to me when i bought the phone said it is genuine stuff. lol
have fun killing your phone mate

I've had a little accident regarding my Note 3. I was taking part in my hobby (Horse Riding) during a trot my phone decided to fall of my pocket. (when not having lessons I have a Bluetooth ear piece for taking phone calls). Long story short, my phone got trodden on by 200lbs, twice, 200lbs per hoof.
What I want to know is, is there anyone else that has had a lot of pressure placed on their phones?
Picture if anyone is interested: http://i.imgur.com/VlFWjgH.jpg

It depends on how it fell and if it was face down or face up. Pretty sure it was fave down in the dirt. The dirt probably soften the hit and the back of the phone is straight plastic

If one hoof was smaller it would still be the same 200lb exerted over a smaller surface area ha it wouldn't make it lighter.

This thread really doesn't matter anymore....the phone survived and this happened back in November...I don't actually remember it happening now too well (My memory is terrible) and I don't care too much as it's a small crack and it doesn't bother me

not to mention the fact that the horse/pony (to me it looks more like a big pony) is never rollin' on 4 hoofs at the same time...there are at the most 3 hoofs on da ground when he's ....hmmmm.. rollin' ....it's called dynamic weight distribution and, depending on da hoof, it could've exerted as much as 400lb on da device...and if da pony was fitted wit dem steel rims (horsyshoes) no way that piece could've escaped.....
...mabe' neva happened....

the moral of the story is: dont take your note 3 on a donkey....
all this horsing around has given me headache....
The phone is good for upto 218lbs of direct pressure.....try it again after you horse and you have eaten.
