I just bought a JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker from my local Best Buy. I was surprised to find out the JBL speaker has NFC pairing. I have my LG-D850 in a quick circle case. I put my original case rear cover back on the phone, enabled NFC on my phone and touched the phone to the speaker. Presto! Paired. I probably won't use NFC to pair because I like my case but it works well. The speaker is incredible. I would highly recommend purchasing one. It's one heck of a speaker for the low price.

Hi there. Just having upgraded from XDAI to XDAII and I am very impressed overal but what I can't understand is how such a good product can come with such lousy earphones. I am not sure who's ears these are designed to fit and by reading here on the forum it seems that a lot of users are having troubles with the XDAII earphones falling out of their ears. The headset and the speakers in them seem pretty good it just that they fall out of your ears.
I have been looking at the
Jabra eargels http://www.jabra.com/products/jabraeargels.htm
and
Slic Sound http://www.slicsound.com/ss001.asp
which seem to fit over the earphone and sit further into the ear so that they are less likely to fall out. Is there anyone out there using these on the XDAII headset? Do they fit the headset? Do they stop it falling out of your ear? Also where can I get them in Sydney??
Andrew.
Dont wash your ears for a while, you will then accumulate enough wax for the earphones to adhere to.
Duct tape works well too
Okay, so it looks like the Brodit Pro-Clip is now available for the Nexus S (if you've used one of these before you'll know it's the ultimate car clip ):
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/brodit-active-holder-with-tilt-swivel-google-nexus-s-p27174.htm
One question though - does anyone know if the headphones socket (now on the bottom of the phone of course) is accessible when the phone is clipped in?
With my HTC Hero I like to use one of those cassette things that has a 3.5mm jack coming out of it. It allows music, sat nav and hands free calling all through my car speakers. Can I do the same with the Nexus S without taking a dremmel to the Pro-Clip?
You're not going to get an answer for a while mate, the mobilefun site says "coming soon". Neither the Brodit.se nor dsldevelopments (uk distributor) site lists a holder yet for the nexus s. Hopefuly they'll be available soon as I'll be buying the passive holder when it's out.
The nexus one did fit an iphone brodit holder, does anyone know if the nexus s fits any other mobile holder that brodit do ?
I don't really post as much on here as i used to when i had my touch pro 2 but i just thought i'd help some people out who where looking for some accessories for their new toys. After paying $500 for this, as i used to upgrade for a hd7, i knew i had to get the best products to make my phone better. And before anybody asks i'm not affiliated in any way with any of the companies whose products i will be discussing.
1. GadgetShieldz Full Body Screen Protector
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-sensation-4g-skins-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
I have tried random cheap screen protectors, zagg screen protectors and this. The zagg screen protector was too rubbery for me to even swipe my finger across it. I've been using gadgetshieldz on my past 4 htc devices starting with the touch pro and these are by far the best i've used. Not many air bubbles if you apply it correctly and the few that do come up with be gone within a day. And the best part about these screen protectors are that it only cost $6.99 for a full body case.
2. Anker 1900mAh Extended Battery
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809453541&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I've been using this battery for about a week now. Compared to the oem battery it does have a better battery life. I have not really tried to see how old it lasted but in the settings it said that the last cycle held 11 hours and 40 minutes before it died. I have had it die on me a few times because i don't charge it a lot but that's been intentionally to let it die from reading around about lithium batteries. It also does not get as got as the original oem battery which i like the most. I plan on getting a few more of these next month.

This doesn't even need much explination. Everyone likes to have more memory. I put a 32gb card in my hd7 as i thought i was going to keep it and i knew i needed one for the sensation too. I am one of those people that downloads a lot of apps plus i wanted space for music and videos. The speeds on this card are pretty face. I get an average speed using teracopy of 18 to 20mb/s. That's a lot faster than my class 2 card that came with my hd7.
4. Aluminum Metal Case for HTC Sensation 4G Z710e
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=33051
I think this company used to be called monaco as they make the same exact cases as monaco did. I bought my first monaco metal case for my tp2 when i found out about it on here and haven't looked back since. I always purchase these metal cases because they protect my phone in case of falls and i can use the phone which it is in the case. It has cut outs for all the ports. I think this is for the sensation unlocked because all the other metal cases i got from them have cut outs for the logos but the phone still fits none the less. What i like the most about this case is with the clip attached i can lay it on it's side and it would be like a kickstand because it can be used in landscape mode when watching a movie. Also you can use the case with the car mount that i will talk about next
5. Car Mount for PDair Aluminum Metal Case
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=30009
This is a car mount that can be used with the case that i just mentioned previously. So you can attach it without taking the phone out of the case. This works great when using it for navigation. The car mount comes with the windshield cup, the holder that attaches to it and a clip holder for the case. The aluminum case comes with a round clip that screws into the back for the belt holder. This one comes with another clip that has an octagon shape that allows you to place it into the car mount so that it will stay at the angle you place it. I always super glue this clip mount to the case so it does not get unscrewed. I have no reason for the one that comes with the case as this works with the belt holder as well. The car holder cost $12

I got these for 2 reasons. My main reason was the obvious which was for music purposes. Since i've gotten this phone i've been listening to pandora and i also have a nice amount of music on my phone. The second reason was to use it as a speaker. I've never really had to use it as i'm content, not happy, but content with the volume of the speaker on the sensation although i liked the hd2's speaker better. These speakers have served good my all general purposes. Plus for $12 it'll work nice when listening to music with friends.
7. Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

I bought these a few months ago when i had my hd2 or hd7, can't remember but anyways i got them to replace my logitech freepulse headphones as the cushioning on them started to come off. I also wanted bluetooth headphones that i could also use as a headset to talk through. These work perfect for both intentions. The music sounds crisp and i have never gotten a complaint when talking to someone with them. I chose these over the s10s because of the reviews between the two. I paid $60 when i got mine but you can get them for $45 now.
8. Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable In-Car Speakerphone
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-T505-Bluetooth-Portable-Speakerphone/dp/B0030BZ7HM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311962000&sr=8-1
I have had this for a few years now. I used to have the t305 but i upgraded to this. The sound quality is pretty nice and audible even when your driving with the window down. I like this speaker because it actually annouces the number of the person that is calling you.
If i have time i will take pictures of these items and post them on here. I hope that i helped someone out who is trying to find the perfect accessories.

For me I like #4 and #5, the aluminum cases with belt clip. Looks a bit bulky for my taste but looks different. Kudos for that but I prefer the leather universal case I have and the Mobi red case that fits together nicely. But that car mount is really cool though. Thanks for the alternatives!

I wanted to point out that with Apple going 3.5mm jackless last year we now have lots of nice adapters to allow you to keep your adapter on your keychain. I picked one of these up and it works perfectly with a snug fit, I don't see the adapter coming off unless you want it to.
I don't know.. I think something that kind of combines a clip and cable wrap might be more secure and convenient. I feel like something like this might be too easy to pull off the adapter if there's tension. Keys get snagged once in a while.
Yeah, I'll stick with Bluetooth. I only use wired Beats in-ear buds when walking or running. I only use my Bose cans when traveling, so Bluetooth again.
Hi,
I bought a wireless earpiece of 1more and unable to fit comfortably in my ear, it falls from the ear.
Below are my ear and one of my friends
Because my ear is weirdly shaped, I am unable to wear it. And even without o hook it falls of and feel pain.
Don't really think anyone here is an Ear doctor to help ya here. You have to try the different attachments or none. If you cannot find it comfortable, trial and error buddy. Stay away from the bulky truly wireless ones. Common sense goes a long way.
What has this got to do with the OnePlus 7 Pro?
