Thanks

Couldn't wait for someone else to report back, so ordered one myself.
I bought the desktop cradle from Lee262online, and was happy with that, so I'm pretty confident it should be GR8! Also for $28USD delivered you can't go too wrong
Will post back once received and tested.

Thanks.. let us know when you receive it

Update: Gutted
10 days after paying for the holder and waiting for it to arrive, I inquired to get conformation that it had been sent and got this reply:
We are out of stock now.
If the item is arrive , we will shipped to you immediately.
If you can not wait, we can refund to you.
Thanks.

So I replied to find out if they knew when they expect the next shipment and got exactly the same reply.
Then on Lee262online's feedback I noticed an heavily increased amount of 's and someone who ordered the same item for the Elf had commented the window sucker didn't stick and the arms snapped off.
So I opted for the refund which, in Lee's defence, did come though without a problem. So I'm not out of pocket but back to the drawing board to find a reasonably priced car cradle with charger and speaker

I bought this one, no problem with shipping, arrived after 3 days. The speaker works great, but when using the headphone 2.5 mm jack to connect it to my car stereo (To listen to music, iPod like) the sound has no bass. Still looking for a solution. Works great as it keeps your phone charging so no battery drain from, GPS!
Quality is great, great plastics. Holds very good. No complaints at all.

eu26..it does look cool.. but at US40, like a little ex leh. I m in Singapore. tt will cost me abt S$60.. but it only ship to US only... don't think I can gt it in singapore.

Isn't lack of bass a general problem with the Trinity - there are quite a few threads on this and possible solutions IIRC.

It's garbage... I can live with it's crappy sound from the speaker, but what I can't live with is this:
* The phone thinks you're using a carkit, and thus the microphone is disabled. When answering the phone, the other party cannot hear you.
* The speaker buzzes when sms messages arrive or when you trinity is using gprs, just as you hear when you place your trinity near any speaker system.
These are major design flaws and make this thing useless.
The seller didn't bother to reply to me, as I had (mistakenly) already given him good points for the transaction on eBay. He probably figured: I've got my good score, nothing I need to do now.

HTC 3600 P3600 PDA smartphone power charger car mount
Good Morning
I am also pissed at this product.It useless if the mic is disconnected.I am told that its is done on purpose because of a safty issue.
Is there no way to overcome this issue with a software mod.How does trinity know its on a craddle? On a normal charger the mic works fine.
THanks

First horizontal Cradle Ive seen + additl slot for ex. batt

This may be a winner....Ima scoop one up just to check it out.

wow that looks really good, it even comes WITH a Battery! hmmm tempted.... nice to have a spare battery but so far these days my battery lasts me the whole day which is all i need... always a good idea to have a spare though

I'm not certain whether that offer is really outstanding...
The battery is sold seperately for 7-8 USD (shipped), the charger is one of those that you'll get for almost nothing. That leaves 18-20 USD for the Dock.
Not too expensive for a dock but for this amount I'll think twice about a purchase.

By all means, if you can find another horizontal dock that looks like it will fit nicely with the G2 + an extra slot to charge an additional battery please...post away.

1 Month of delivery kills it..
"Delivery:
Estimated between Fri. Dec. 10 and Thu. Dec. 23"
By Dec 10 there will be cheaper docks online or from your local stores.

no offense.. but it looks poorly made..

Check out the thread from the Desire-Z forum, looks like the same dock you purchased:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845946
I held off on ordering one after hearing his feedback on it... Hopefully they have some more selection in the next few weeks.

I still haven't gotten anything yet (lol why would anyone say no offence, I didn't design it, just stated it was the only one I have seen)
Looks like the last post in the post you posted has a good one, he seems to like it, may try that one...still a couple days till pay day lol

It showed up today! I will post more later, but everything works fine. Get it with confidence.

Battery goes in upsidedown (versus what the stock battery looks like. Still 1300 mAh.
Base doesn't lean back as much as I thought it would. This definitely works with the T-Mobile HTC G2. Using the battery right now. Used the dock to charge same battery and connect to the computer to download the photos.

you rock man, thanks

#notworthit

do you think the phone would fit in the dock with that clip-on plastic case?

Na I dont think so it seems to be pretty flush against the dock itself

Help Pls Req:-Cheap htc one S in ear (buds) headphones with mic and working remote ?

Hi Alllll , just got my new htc one S a few days ago , great phone , very happy etc , but the headphones that come with the phone would be great if they where ear bud / in ear type......ideally i would like a decent quality pair for around £5.00 - £10.00 with mic and remote suitable for working with my new phone
I have tried my old samsung galaxy 1 headphones , but alas the sound echo's , the mic works and the remote....
Any reccomendations welcomed but please ideally tried and tested

I take it your in the UK? If so for the price range your looking at your not going to get the sound quality you want or deserve for music.
Have a look in Argos for code 514/6062 (KitSound KS1 Colours In Ear Headphones With Mic - Black) for £15. My choice for your price range would be a trip to eBay for a set of HTC ear phones with Mic.

Hi Yes , i am in the uk thank you , its a shame the kitsound dont quote a remote , as i would like to use for hands free when i recieve a call.

As I posted, its down to your price range. Even if you where to get around £30-40 you would get a decent set with the functions that you require. A friend has a set but is away on holidays at the moment, when he returns I'll get some info on them for you and post it.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-30i-MM30i-Headphones/dp/B004HD4L2E Now these are the dogs......

At £10.00 your choices will be pretty limited. I suggest using an app like JAYS Headset Control with a single button set instead of one with a more functional remote.
I settled on a pair of Brainwavz M4 with mic for under £20. There's also the ebay Skullcandy store that has mic'd sets starting at under £7. But I suspect my choices and prices are a little better here in the US.

Have to bump this thread, also need something fairly cheap that has decent remote. Not really audiophile, just need my headphones occasionally for in-car use, so no point in spending £50. So £20 is probably my max. Any suggestions appreciated.

These are "fake" (I believe) HTC headphones. The same ones that came with older HTC phones (the One S I have did not come with any headphones at all!)
Edit: Don't flame me, I suggested these because he wanted cheap ones, and these are identical to the ones HTC used to supply.

Haha nothing wrong if you're buying cheap goods. I wouldn't buy any of their more expensive stuff though.

Hi guys, I'd also like to ask for some advice on a decent headphone set with a remote that actually has more than 1 button and works on the One S. I live in Germany though, so it should preferably be something that's available here or at least deliverable and cheap to import. I'd like to set the price limit to 20€, but if you really mean nothing with a decent quality can be found for that little, I might consider going up to 30€. Thanks a lot!

I spent about a week to search all over forums, topics...but still could not find any pair of good quality headphones with 3 buttons( volume +/- and play/pause) + mic for under $20 dollars. But if you guy want a good pair of headphone with only 1 button ( can do "play/pause/next song") then this is might be the best

I use my choice of one button IEMs (currently Brainwavz M4) and JAYS headset control app. Play, pause, stop, next track, previous track, volume up, volume down, etcetera all accessible from the single button.

If one's in the looking for something not that expensive, but still with a reasonable level of quality - search no more:
http://www.expansys.com/htc-smart-3-5mm-wired-headset-with-flat-cable-white-rc-e190-222183/
The RC E190 will work just fine, they are of decent build quality and the sound it's OK.
I must confess that I'm not what you would call a connoisseur or good judge of the sound quality, but the headset it's at least at the level of Sonny Ericsson models, and they look good too.
The link that I've recommend is to a major re-seller of HTC accessories (not only).

The JVCs looked perfect until I noticed the "remote" doesn't have volume control. The reviewer said it, wtf is this for a remote? Seems I'll be going the JAYS App way, although that still sounds cumbersome in comparison to at least 3 hardware keys...

Thinking of ordering from CaseFanatic..

Thinking of getting the black version. Though I'm wondering if it's safe to order from them, since I've never tried before. Has anyone done so here? Also, I heard they jack up prices by as much as +$20, but I can't find the same item at eBay. If anyone knows a better site to order this from, please share.
P.S. Though I have seen this case for much cheaper at Aliexpress, I'm not ordering from them since they do not support PayPal, and I've heard many horrible stories from dealing with their merchants.
Thanks in advance!

It's at dx-box.com for around $30. And they do PayPal.

I don't see any speaker cut-outs, not sure how that would sound... Other than that, looks like a nice case, not sure if the case would interfere with Wifi and Signal though

It seems to work the same as the Element Eclipse case (routes the speaker hole to the front of the phone). As for signal, yeah, I'm aware of the issues with aluminum cases/bumpers. I'm willing to risk it since the case just looks so freaking sexy.
Btw, DX-BOX is legit, right? Because I'm ready to pull the trigger.

I've seen that case on ebay. Search for "saber s4 case". Looks nice but I have to wonder about how the signal strength may be affected. That and the weight.
What is strange is that a few of the auction descriptions say to take off the battery cover before using the case.

I'm willing to give it a shot. Ordered from DX-BOX two nights ago, and my order is listed as "processing". Already ready to make a PayPal dispute in case things get messy, though I hope it doesn't come to that.
I don't mind the weight either, since I like a bit of heft on my phones anyway and the S4 weighs virtually nothing.

True that. Was really no contest when it came down to the price. Just waiting for my order to be shipped out. Still says "Processing" at the moment after two days.

Well it's been 5 days since my order, and it hasn't been shipped yet. Still says "Processing", when they replied back to my complaint saying they would ship 1-2 days after I sent them my message (it's been 4 days).
Thinking of filing a PayPal dispute if a week passes with no news. Not looking good so far.

UPDATE: Been more than a week since I placed my order, and still no tracking number. "Ray" has responded to my emails but hasn't given me a tracking number yet. I understand shipping delays and everything, but I don't even have a tracking number to work with.
Comment: Hello, I was wondering how long it takes for an order to be

has, may I please have my tracking number now?
I don't have any news about my order. I might have to open a PayPal
dispute if I don't get any news. I don't want to do that, since I'm
still hoping this goes through smoothly and without issue.

Hey guys!
I just ordered a metal battery door replacement for my GS4 from Casefanatic. I have to say it looks absolutely gorgeous, but functionality went down the drain. I get really bad reception with the metal back battery door.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That being said, I'm only assuming that their metal cases may give the same problem, but I may be wrong.
On another note, I bought TWO battery doors since they had some sale going on. The battery doors are essentially plastic doors with a thin metal sheet glued onto them. I ordered two black, they sent me one white and one black.
After contacting customer service...
Hello Eugene,
Sorry, it seems we do not have the black frames, so they sent the white frames instead, without notifying me.
If you wish to return them, please return the case, using any standard cheap post $2 - $12, to:
Mod Edit – Some content removed
We will refund you once we receive the case.
Regards,
Charlotte - Casefanatic.com

So because of this and the fact that my connectivity gets cut, I will be sending them back.
They are overseas (China), so shipping takes a while. Customer service seems fairly speedy however. I got a response back within the same day, so they don't seem so bad!
Although I have to pay for shipping to refund the thing, at least I'll get most of my money back. Hopefully the refund process goes smooth. I'll let you guys know!
-Gene
EDIT: To the above posts with that whole "Processing" thing on the tracking website. I had the exact same thing. It said "Processing" for about a week, then suddenly showed up at my door. But whatever.. I'm hoping this refund thing goes down smooth...

Still waiting for my item to arrive. At least the tracking number finally works now. Apparently it's still at customs in Beijing. Last update was 5 whole days ago too.

still waiting?

Question Who's Ordered, and why?

I have been watching the development of folding devices for a few years. I've decided to go for it, as the tech seems reliable this time. I like the idea of a more compact phone like the old Motorola V3.
Pre-ordered the 128GB Version in green.
What's your thoughts?

I will be, just deciding on the colour.
I had an original Z Flip and really liked it, but there were a couple of annoyances with it - namely the inside screens protector which got oily and grubby within seconds. I could have removed it, but there were concerns over voiding warranty at the time, and I didn't really want to chance it.
The external screen was also completely pointless, something else they have remedied this time round.
The only thing making me pause, is that I know I will want the Pixel 6 Pro when that launches, and the fact that Samsung haven't done anything to these cameras from the OG Flip.
Early photo samples seem 'ok', but I may wait for official reviews before fully committing.

Just preordered my wife the pink 256gb and myself the grey 256gb version.
We have S10s now that have been great but are ready to enter the flip phone arena. She is excited about using the camera from outside cover with the pic preview option as well as the flex mode for video calls.
I am excited about a compact phone to throw in my pocket and flex mode for video calls etc.
Kind of bummed out about the 3.5mm jack but just ordered some usb C to 3.5mm adapters on amazon should be good to go.

We have $100 credit each left via samsungs website....will probably get the clear ring case for my wife and maybe leather for me. Also interested to see what Spigen comes up with, I see on amazon you can already order their cases.

Thanks I will check that one out. I'll have 5 cases in before I even get the phone

Pretty crap they don’t include the case in the box like they did with the OG Fold.
I never really liked it, but it was handy when I was out and about and wanted that extra protection!

One that's compact yet powerful and is not "bar" type = Flip 3, so probably will get one.
With 120Hz display refresh rate and not so power efficient(!) SD888, the 3300 mAh battery might become a concern.

I have the green 256gb on pre order, looking foward to a flip phone again, fold 3 is to heavy.
Trading in a 8t, I'm sure the flip 3 will take better photos??

I am watching youtube vids on flip 3, some say camera concerns. We use sammy S10's right now for the past few years, flip 3 probably has drastically better camera then our S10?

Can't imagine Samsung would release a phone with subpar cameras. Obviously, not going to be the same standard as the S21 Ultra.
Good review below

ordered the cream 256GB. After using the note9 for 3 years I'm sick of large heavy phones.
I also really miss my starTac's from the 90's.
I would have bought the Flip2 5G but I need the IP rating as I do a lot of exercising/sweating with the phone.
My only concern is the wireless charging/NFC with a magentic mount such as scosche. I have wireless charging everywhere (car, bedroom, office, lounge, kitchen).. so battery life is not a concern.

Like the previous post, I've got tired of big heavy phones (currently Note10+) but also just looking forward to having something a bit different. Phones have got really samey and just not as much fun to own anymore. Hoping the flip 3 brings back the excitement of owning something a bit different, even if I will have to charge it every 5 min

my gf have the original flip, the first one. (hey, of course she want it, i'm the one that paid for it).
it' time to upgrade to flip3 since the more you fold/open/close the flip, the crease going to get worse.
i ordered the 256gb flip3 since it' the same price as the 128gb flip3 with the 50$ credits applied to 256gb flip3.

I got mine today works great, looking forward to root and ROMS!

Finally found the man who's responsible for companies making phones thinner and thinner before 2020, thus providing smaller and smaller batteries.

Pre-order grey 256GB and seem like next month only can get it here at Malaysia. I'm after the technology as Samsung said screen is 80% better than before. Camera seem not really superb but usable as daily use.

I'm doing the same. Got a OP8 5G through a tmobile promo half off so i only paid about $400 for it if I remember correctly. Now tmobile is giving me $1000 trade-in credit for it. The offer is just too good to pass up, even though I'm really going to miss my OP8

I think I must plead guilty, after years of giant phones I've genuinely had enough and am ready for a change
