arm bag strip for desire to hold it while running

I found one at decathlon but it was too short to keep an htc or iphone.
Do u know where to find one on ebay?

Almost a year ago I bought the "Tune Belt AB8" somewhere from eBay for my HTC TyTNII. I think it was designed for the iPhone, but fitted nice for my TyTNII and guess what? It fits the Desire even better!!
The Tune Belt itself is perfect for the job!

Bought this the other day from JJB, fits the desire perfectly but only without a headphone plugged in. With the headphone plugged in I have to keep the zip open a little on one side, works fine but wont keep the rain off.

Try the xtrememac sportwrap obviously for the IPOD or IPHONE, but the headphones plug in nicely and it fits perfectly. I can even use the screen whilst it is in the strap.
It is nice and comfortable as well. Surprised me a little really I usually dont like things on my arm when I am running. The only thing that did not seem to work perfectly is the little plastic clip that you can wind the extra flex onto it keept unwinding.

This one for the Nexus One ought to do the trick:

I'm looking for an arm strap/holder thing for running too, needs to be splash (rainproof). Anyone got any new ideas on this? The ones posted don't look too great.

How about this one?
Yes I know it's for a Nexus One, but they have very similiar specs and yes I know it aint waterproof, but what about the looks of it ?
Lol can't post links yet. Hmm way to find it: go to amazon.com and type: tuneband nexus one

Looks not bad. Would prefer a desire one that is definitely waterproof. I'm a jock and the weather in jockland is atrocious. Doesn't stop me running though..
Keep the suggestions coming.

anyone bought or found anything yet to test?

Search "Iarmband" on google or ebay, it's an universal armband, it's ok for the nexus one, for iphone, for HD2 an other phone.

I dont think they are rainproof either.

I wish someone would make a Desire specific one.

Anything new on this subject?

I think I'll just need to go for the google Nexus armband that igadgetz make. I might be a bit tight but it's the closest thing to what I'm looking for. Shame as I would really have preferred an armband specific to the exact Desire dimensions.

For those that might be interested in the iGadgetz model:
Hi Roscoe141,
Thank you for contacting us. An armband for the HTC Desire will be available in August.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Don't compromise
I've found the best universal case. It's Krusell Orbit Flex . It has many options to use. Arm strap, bike holder, etc.

Nexus one should be close enough. I bought this one. Was sent today. I'll post some pics with the desire when I get it.

I use the one I had from my old iPhone 2G sms fits perfectly.

SGS Armani battery 1650 mAh [xda user ships worldwide - official Supplier for Europe]

Firstly, I searched the forum but I surprisingly couldn't find a matching post! I don't think I am the first user to have the following line of thoughts...
The Armani version of our SGS has a stronger stock battery (I assume no cheap china thing), therefore:
1. Does it fit in a regular SGS?
2. Where can I get one? Officially from Samsung?
3. Does anybody already own one?
regards

Aparently, the GT-I9003 has this bigger battery as well!

Good post. I'd like to know this as well...

Good thinking, but has this actually been released yet? I could only find a few vids on the internet and no info on when it was released...

Well, it's hard to say wheter the Armani GS is already out or not, the sources are quite conflicting...
Anyway, I just mailed to Samsung (Samsung Germany to be precise, they have the phone on their site) and I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply!

According to samfirmware it's just an 1500 battery? There is 1 firmware btw , with a weird pit file lol

on the samsung site it is 1650 mAh
http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...T-I9010XKADBT/detail.aspx?atab=specifications
it is german but the number is the same in English

Glad to see a thread on this, I was wondering and kept checking on ebay to see if something pops up but nothing yet so far

A review on a dutch site confirms that the battery fits the standard Galaxy S. It is indeed a 1650mAh battery.
The reply is in the comments:
http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/toestellen/13500
And yes, I do own one It has great build quality and it feels faster than de normal Galaxy S. The only thing bugging me is the Armani logo on the front.
Quadrant score is about 1200 on the stock rom without lagfix or anything. Also, the GPS seems to work outstanding.

Thanks for the info! I just have to believe you as Dutch is barely understandable to me
Where did you buy your Armani GS? Maybe we can order batteries there?
And could you post a picture of the battery so that I have the data for further reference (product code etc.)? Would be highly appreciated!

Sure, no problem. i'll do this later this evening.
I bought mine at a store called "belcompany" in Holland. They sell the Armani version exclusively. I went to get a replacement for my broken Galaxy S and I saw the Armani version and took a chance
http://www.belcompany.nl/Selecteren/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=p175080_1
The review is very positive. The reviewer states he would rate the phone a bit higher than the standard Galaxy S for buildquality and speed. The phone lacks FM-radio and a front facing camera. But it's not a deal breaker for the reviewer.
I'll upload some pictures tonight
The webshop doesn't seem to offer replacement batteries yet. I could walk by the store tomorrow and ask if there is a possibility to get extra batteries.

Here are the pics I promised.

Thanks a lot!!!! With this information, it should be feasible to track down one of those battaries! I'll check with the stores I usually shop tomorrow! If they cannot provide that battary, I'll contact Belcompany...
Nice wallpaper btw!

You're welcome and good luck with your search
I Attached the wallpaper.

ok, short update! Seems like it is gonna get tougher than I thought to buy that battery
My Austrian shops basically say the same as belcompany, so I'll just post it as an example:
Good afternoon,
Unfortunately we cannot order this new battery from any of our suppliers (yet).
They are not sure if this battery will become available as a separate purchase, or if it will only be available as the standard battery that comes with this newer phone.
With regards,
Vertrouwende u hier voldoende mee te hebben geïnformeerd.

How is the orange peel?

Does it really covers everything? or there are parts like on the side that somehow not been able to coverup? i have HD2 before and had it packed with zagg but some sides are not covered.

no Orange Peel, and it covers everything

Will best buy apply it for me ? I've never been good at it.

They will put it on but charge you to do it. I think it's a $7 fee
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

yes I paid $8 the install, and if u every have a problem with it they reinstall for free

Maybe its silly of me, but the fact that they charge to install it bothers the hell out if me. The markup on these things is insane so they make good money on it and if i go to ATT, they put it on for free when i buy one from them. Now i know the Zagg is a little more involved in installing, but still, its a simple customer service.

My corporate AT&T store told me they don't install.

The gal at my AT&T corporate store installed it for me. She did a damn good job.

I dont Mind paying for the install, if u ever have a problem they install another one for free. just keep the receipt.
not to mention ATT store don't have the HD Version on the Dry install normal version

I'm unfamiliar with the HD line. What advantage does it have over the regular Zagg sold at AT&T?

how does the zagg hd compare to sgp series?

Not that i doubt you, but im not even showing the HD version available for the HOX on Zaggs site.
And from what i understand the HD line is supposed to have a closer feel to glass than the standard Zagg, so its less rubbery feeling. Also its not supposed to have the orange peel effect because its more clear.

Thats awesome, thank you. Like i said i didnt want to doubt it, just dont understand why they wouldnt advertise that on there site. One more question, do you have the sku from the reciept? seems silly but i want to call my store and see if they have it. I live 30 mins from it, so it could save me a trip.

Is it a dry application or the ones where you have to spray the liquid on the screen?

I just picked up a zagg hd from my local best buy.

Which OTG cable?

Now that source is released I'm sure OTG will be implemented quickly for all of us to enjoy and take advantage of. It will be my first time using this feature, and I was curious if you guys had any insight on if there's any cable better than the rest? I saw a 9.99 one on eBay for the S II and many others. Does it matter which one I buy?

Honestly, mine is from eBay for like $2 and it works very well

I use these ones from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...UTF8&qid=1343308860&sr=8-2&keywords=otg+cable
shipping take awhile though!!

lol no. I didn't check the seller, mine was located in the US. Let me see if I can find them then. Mine was definitely similarly priced and looked the same which is why I didn't check the info in-depth.
I'll edit when I find mine
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
lol they are the same ones I think. It does say they originally ship from Hong Kong. I bet BOHO Electronics just had some in stock locally when I ordered.
Anyway for anyone else looking, just search USB OTG cable and find yourself a US (or your country) seller to get it shipped quickly. They should generally be under $5 shipped.
I'm in Alabama and Boho got mine to me in under a week

Just recieved my OTG cable today, bought the one Myron posted off Amazon, but though a different seller so didn't ship from Hong Kong. Only issue is that it wouldn't fit with the case on (I have the Speck Candyshell Grip), but it looks like most of them I've seen so far wouldn't fit either. If anyone knows of an OTG cable with a smaller MicroUSB end that might work, I would love to know!
Looking forward to being able to use it with my HOX!

Just got my Note 4 and look at the bonus I got!

What a hassle, if you order from AT&T, you don't even get the stock headphones.

I was about as close as I could have come to changing carriers. Was on the phone with retention, they cut me a deal on my bill and made it possible to get the upgrade for $99 (with the Best Buy trade-in) and I didn't lose my upgrade for next month, so I stayed for another two years.

I guess we just get effed over here in the US. I'm on Verizon, not only is the phone not released yet but early unboxings on youtube show that they removed the headphones as well. On top of that they removed the Samsung browser completely, if I didn't have unlimted data and 25% discount from my job I'd leave asap.

Pretty Sweet .. I wonder how the sound quality is ?

I've heard them at the best buy stores and I don't think the sound quality was that great. I mean they go for about $149 usd so if he got them for free I'd be all over it too. That's awesome.
