I would not recommend buying a wired car holder altogether.
I used to use several Seidio holders and all of them had bad plug-in connections after some time (usually right after warranty is up).
I really like the Brodit car holders.
Have a look at this ... I have one, and it is excellent.

You can buy it from Expansys in your local store, but the link below is to the Australian version:

I find it really hard to find a holder to suit these phones....
Seidio seem to have gone blackberry only these days although they still cater for older PDA's but to be honest they are over priced for what they are. And yes mine broke just after the warranty.... what a waste of £100 (G2500s converted to stereo output for MDA Compact). I'm thinking of using its case waith a 3 in 1 adapter as the Trin is the same size as teh compact.
The only alternative i have seen upto yet is the this mount (sometime refered as the TomTom Car Mount) http://pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=263
Has anyone purchased one of these ?? Does it have an audio out (stereo), MIC out ? How loud is the speaker ?
Cant seem to find any reviews on it either.....

That would be super Rafiki. If it hasnt got an audio out then it shouldn't be to hard to mod it.

I recieved this one in the weekend and tested it.
http://pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=263
The sound is ok for navigation . A little on the low side.
As a carkit for the telephone...hopeless! THe other party hears an echo and the sound is too low . I tried everything but this cannot be solved. I also get a low level humming from the speaker!
So its back to the drawing board and wait for the other version that I ordered.
Has anyone tried this! I just ordered it this morning.

Hi Alnajmi,
Would you mind giving us a quick review once you have tested it ?
Wouldnt mind knowing if the device have a volume control, audio out and a mic in.

I modified one of these replacing the internal speaker with an external one (an old car stereo speaker) - it works very well as long as the speaker is kept well away from the mic and with careful control of the volume.
anyone tried this?

I would like to get 1 to try but I can't seem to find 1 that delivers to Australia
I ended up getting a 3 in 1 adapter.
I use the standard Holder that came with the Orange M700.
Connect the 3 in 1 which in turn has:
1: the power to the cigarette socket connected.
2: Tape adapter connected to the 3.5" Jack.
3: HTC earphones connected to the HTS mini USB with the earpeice and cables snipped at the mic.
The mic is then routed through the dash to where ever you need. I have mine in the cockpit display area.
If you dont connect the HTC mic then you wont be heard.
All i do when a call comes through is press the casette button on the stereo (VW Gamma) and answer the call either with the phone or the mic adapter.
Sometimes have to ajust the volume on the stereo as having the stereo too loud will give the caller an echo but you are able to have it loud enough to hear well.
With the 3 in 1 attached the phone still rings on the external speaker aswell as though the adapter.
Would be nice to use some expoy resin to atach the adapter to the holder in some way saving you connecting the plug manually every time you slot the trin in. Might give this a go some time.
Oh and i also use SPB phone suite so i can set a profile for the car which consists of Loud ring + vibrate but a low speaker volume. Having full volume through a tape adapter seems to give a crackly effect.

When I got my set and open up to inspect, i realised that one of the holes on the back of Sensation doesn't have purpose at all (the hole on the right of the back speaker). This is quite saddening cuz I bought this with the expectiation that it has....
I suspect that the dual mic might be actually removed in the final release. But I read at many places that the video recording uses the secondary mic to achieve stereo audio recording. So does sensation have the secondary mic in the first place? And secondly, does the video recording have stereo sound?
What do you all think? Many reviews mentioned that noise cancellation during calls r available thou....
I managed to email HTC support and this is wad they responded,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, Sensation does not support noise cancellation ability , and if you nedd high quality voice during the call, we recommend you buy a good in ear earpiece.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again.

I would love to hear more about this issue again if anyone has more information on it.
also interested
The silence of current users means there is no noise cancellation.......
sad, thats one of the main reasons i wanted one.

With reference to your query, our current flagship premium handset does not support high quality speaker or microphone. If you plan to use your phone as phone, we recommend buying a handset thats engineered with that feature in mind.

I really like my Sensation but speaker and microphone quality does not impress. I hope custom roms will solve this.

whats with HTC and cheap speakers they use ? How hard is it to use something decent in their "state of the art" phone...
the more I read, less i want this phone, at least my HD2 is 100% unlocked and can run any OS there is....
Their official press states Dual microphones for noise suppression.
http://htc-press.com/assets/PDF/Sensation4GSpecSheet-410.pdf
so where is the extra mic located?

well, there is stereo sound recording, so it could be using one of the microphones there.. although i'm not sure if the spacing of those mics is conducive to noise cancellation..
There are six holes on the backside of the case. Four of them appear to be used as aerials for the various radios. The hole next to the speaker seems to be unused.
I'm not sure, but the microphone appears to be on the bottom edge, adjacent the back release. Where is the second microphone, or are thye combined in one module?
If they are combined I doubt they would work for noise cancelling...

the US version has another antenna contact with the hole by the speaker grill
What about the hole above the back camera? What is that used for?

That's the other microphone. Pretty easy to see if you pull the phone out of the shell. Every other hole doesn't seem to go anywhere, the one above the camera has a little gasket on the device-side.
Ism if anybody stated this yet Liz in too lazy to read them.
The holes on the back ate just where the rivets were located for.the intenna. Nice is on the bottom only

Loved my HD2 too, but the Sensation makes it look like a Model T once you get it in your hand. Don't deny yourself my friend, the Sensation is the sh**!

So guys since it had been confirmed that there is a Mike above the back Canberra, it means that there is active cancellation
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Ok.. So I believe that secondary mic is present... For the stereo recording at least..
But during calls, it really doesn't sound like active noise cancellation.. I've used Nexus one & S2, their noise cancellation works very well even on a busy street...
I mean I still love this phone but just a bit disappointed with some hardware aspects..

Hello all I have a problem. no matter who I call Im told my voice sounds muffled. This is a stock phone. nothing changed. I did a hard reset but still have problem. Any suggestion?
Take off your case

I don' t have a cover.
Yeap, same thing here...
Arent other people facing this issue?
Even a lot of online reviews mentioned this. But i never thought the mic quality is going to be this troublesome.
I tried calling myself on an Atrix/Galaxy S/Galaxy note
I myself find the microphone quality quite cheap. It picks up the slightest of nicks and bumps but its definitely too muddy for the other persons comfort!!
The call volumes were very low on my G2 and Sensation in the past. They fixed that but messed up the microphone quality!
Seriously disappointing. Not buying a HTC device ever again!
btw. Not using a case or anything.

Hey guys this is one thing I'm extremely curious about, anyone able to review how the sound is on this?
Nexus 4 was horrible because of the low volume problem playing through aux cables in the car, my galaxy nexus was way better, just curious to how the sound is on the nexus 5

Another question for the owners who tried the phone in their cars (AUX) how is the sound quality? since in the N4 the sound quality via the AUX was crap (no other word to describe it) :good:
I thought it was pretty good. Nice quality and loud

Well playing via A2DP is really good. Just like my S3 if not better due to the bitpool being correct.
Playing via headphones also seem to be fine. Not as good as the S3 for me but once a kernel is out with some decent DAC settings i cant really compare.
Yes the speaker quality is CRAP. Not very loud and also tinny. With some sound mods it will be better i can only hope.
Not talking about speakers, about quality through the headphones /aux!

Can somebody else confirm that the speaker is crap? Is it better or worse than the N4? The one thing I miss about the iPhone is the external speaker, in terms of volume. I could, with the 4s, put it in my pocket and hear the music without a problem. That wasn't the case with the N4.

Seems that the speaker is a turd. HTC One was superior in this sense...even when ringing and getting notifications.
I played through Bluetooth today and it sounds absolutely stunningly perfect.

I affirm it again speaker is crap, probably barely good enough for ringing and calls. Tried to play some dubstep from YouTube and at 50% volume it was far from loud and already starting to saturate. And I'm not a kid that wants to blow is hears off.

I've been trying the speakers out and I gotta say, they're really bad. My dad's super old iphone 4s speaker volume was louder then my n5 speaker when i had it on full blast and he was about 5 feet away. I played youtube music videos on them as well and they sound like ****. Headphones sound fine though.
Hi guys,
I got my LG G4 2 week ago, and i started notice that if i shake the device, it has a strange rattle sound. I think it's coming from the vibrate motor, but i'm not sure. It's very frustrating.
Someone has the same problem? Or it's normal? Please help me!
This may be due to the connection which some slack ....................
Thank me
Not need money ......
Any resolution to this? After months of no issue my g4 just started doing this. Also, the audio quality coming from the speaker has degraded.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
A quick google search suggests it's either the speaker or the vibration motor. However, there's something pointing you can open your camera app and see if the phone still rattles.... If you can find out what the rattling there's no doubt you can it up and tape whatever it is...
