I love this mount... suction holds to dashboard or window like crazy... good build/quality... fits my Nexus 6P... true one-hand operation (in and out)...
But (there's always one... and I got two):
The major issue... the side grips sit on the volume button... and once in a while, they would silence my device w/o me noticing
The telescopic arm, when fully extended (which is why I bought it), makes the whole thing less stable (maybe with a lighter phone it will be less of an issue). This is not a huge deal, but an FYI.
Should you buy it? I still think it's a good option... and to avoid #1 above, you could place the device a bit higher in the cradle (so it doesn't touch the volume button). It works, but makes it a bit unstable.

I had the same problems as well. The new version seems to have fixed all the problems with the Nexus 6P and in general.
I got an email from them yesterday and they're currently having a 30% off sale on Amazon.
The promo code is UPGRADE3.

I don't see how it solves the problem. The side arms seems to be located in a place still "squeezing" the volume rocker.

The side arms on the newer version are lower on the phone now. You can adjust the bottom arm vertically to adjust the height.
This video shows that the 6P is compatible with the new Mount. I have no problems with the new version. The telescoping is about 1 inch shorter so if that's an important feature for you then the new version isn't for you.
I've posted it before several times, the One Touch 2 is easy to use if you just tilt it a little bit with your phone tilted the opposite way your buttons won't be squished. Even better, I got the one touch 3 last week and it completely avoids the buttons whatsoever. Really the best holder that they've made yet but the old arm from the two series was better and longer.
I have one of their other ones and it clips on the side but with my Supcase, it doesn't affect it.
I like their holder. Very strong and I've had it on for over a year (dirty suction cup) without any issues. I might pick up the new one because it extends and it looks to be a better fit for my truck.

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing that there is a 3rd generation mount.

very similar to whats included with the tilt..its a non standard htc usb plug with an extended adapter on it which has on one side what looks like a normal headphone jack and a mini headphone jack and on the end has the usb..ive included a pic of it..im assuming this is standard accessory equipment included with the ATT FUZE sooo i was looking on ebay for a video out cable and came upon this
http://cgi.ebay.com/TOUCH-PRO-TV-VI...0|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50
and ive included a pic
but it looks like you can plug it into what i thought were audio jacks and achieve video out? because i have these cables laying around (from video cameras and stuff) and i tried them just now and i dont get any results..any ideas on how this is being pulled off?
The one on eBay is a modified dongle. And the guy probably did it using the thread found in xda-dev! I will bet you that! LOL! But, if you had searched, you would have found this thread here.
derrrrrrr..yah sorry about not searching..just thought it was interesting and found a makeshift on on ppcgeeks really didnt think about searching lol

Well Pazookie, good for you getting your Fuze as a replacement. Didn't cost you a cent. Congrats and I hope you enjoy it. As for the Bold, I brought that the day it came out and took it back the following day. LOL The screen is awesome but I guess I'm just that WM kinda guy. I hated the BB format espically for email and text messages. Again, that's me and I sure it's that I'm so used to the WM platform. I know many people that would give their arm before lossing their BB. LOL
Have a GREAT holiday my Firend.

thanks..merry christmas.//and about the fuze..i have never been more pleased with a device..it went above and beyond my expectations..i thought i was going to have to settle for less buttons and all that stuff but i have found the workarounds easier..i have found it to be more responsive and accurate as in screen taps and typing with the on screen SIP and pocketgba works again (on my tilt once wm6.1 came out that gba emulater stopped working). I LOVE this thing lol oh yah its built tuff too..i dropped it at work the other day (idiot coworker bear hugged me from behind thus flinging the fuze out of my hand). It hid concrete from about 4 feet and the back cover flew off and the battery popped off and only a smal scratch/paintsmudge on the bottom right corner (top half of device). Hope you have a great new year
Hi boys and girls!
I was planning on buying the new Diamond 2 as soon as it hit the shelves here in Norway, but as HTC still thinks I should pay for the repair of an USB port which was DOA I have decided to try to find some other phone...
So - anyone have any good suggestions?
Cheers!

I prefer the lime green casing myself, but that is personal preference, as is selecting a device or a type of wine.

@ Red: Thanks for the suggestion, but I find it too small for my liking. My three "musts" are:
1. The handset need to be sturdy. If i forget my hammer, I need something to hit other drivers with.
2. Must come with its own backpack, and the fabric must be washable.
3. I sometimes use the phone in my care, so the top part must be possible to detach from the battery. There just isn't space in my estate car to have the battery in the front.
My best bet til now is this model:

haha great response. With all honesty go with something a bit inexpensive in the meantime if you are waiting for TP2 to be released in your country.
Actually, I'd rather go for something NOT from HTC...
Go for Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01
Or buy the new HTC Touch HD ...
Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to have a look at the Toshiba. As for HTC, I'd really like to stuff the aforementioned phone (the Ericsson) somewhere the sun don't shine. Unfortunately, I think I will have to use "most people" as a baseline for sun-exposure, as I have a feeling these guys (?) do a lot of "work" on all fours
I understand your reluctance to get a HTC again I for one have a HD which is actually really good although when i first brought one it had 3 dead pixels and although htc wouldnt replace it the shop i brought it from would, now after 3 months or so my replacement has just developed a stuck pixel which I have never seen before I've has so many products with lcd screens and worked in a shop for a bit that sold them and only ever seen them come with a dead/stuck pixel. its not really noticeable but very annoying considering the price of the phone. So I was thinking thats the last time i buy a htc but then I realized there isn't any 1 else who makes anything near as good in terms of features and looks.
my first choice would be the hd
go for the HD or a super processor snapdragon on the Toshiba TG01
This is in a horrible location.
That's all.
No other complaints. No dust under screen yet, no dead pixels, no death grip.
I've had phones with the jacks in every damn spot on the phone. I always hate them at first because the prior phone had it in a different place and I had gotten used to it. My last couple phones were G2 and MT4G and they had the same spot as the S4G, so I love the location. You'll probably adjust to it and start to like it.

Yeah, you're probably right... I'm just glad I don't seem to have some of the other issues people are having.
Still can't wait for root though so I can use my apps that require root!

i prefer it on the side rather than down. but the reason why it is on the side
well first of all you have a qHD 16:9 wide screen. what is it good for? WATCHING Videos/Movies and surfing the web
so because of this when the Sensation sits on the docking station, it is sideways so you can browse the net, watch a movie while it is syncing/charging, plus its more stable than a phone upright
I used to hate it when I first got it but now I love it more than any other location. It completely makes sense once you start gaming. When the USB port is located at the bottom, I always have to change my grip when in landscape view if I want to use it while charging.
I don't have a docking station so for me I can't prop the phone up to watch a movie. Some apps won't rotate the screen the other way.
lmfao, I hate looking for that jack when it's all dark and I cant use the phone as a flashlight.

This is the small things that shows, HTC do study and think before they design. Like moving the power button to the right (better for landscape mode). I'm used to on the left with my desire.
I'd prefer charging slot on the bottom. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer headphone jack on the bottom as well. I hate having 1 cable sticking out from the side and one from the top when in the the car. I would also kill for optical trackpad but that's another story.

I agree with you completely regarding the car issue... And a dedicated camera button and optical tracked are the only things that would make this hardware perfect imo.

Try a right angle usb cable. Makes it more bearable.
This location workd fine for me...so far!
I really do not one to create two threads on this...
issue 1
while charging (tested 2 chargers so far) I get feedback over the speakers when using the line out. we have tried 5 devices through the same set up and the skyrocket is the only one with this feedback

issue 2
a number of our photos turn out blue, some others have an odd bright line

Your first issue is a common complaint for all smartphones. They put out so much EMF noise that cheaply made speakers tend to crackle when they are near. Only solutions are speakers with better shielding or keeping the phone away. Sometimes a separation of 3-5 feet is enough.
Issue 2 is just weird. I don't know what to tell you except that it is probably not related to one. Do all your pictures turn out like that or just some?
Thanks for the reply...but out of 5 android devices...this is the only one that does this in the same vehicle/same cables (Harmon kardon sound system)
That is the odd thing about the pics.. it isn't all of them. I would say 1 in 20

check your finger placement, it may be guiding the LED flash away from 1 side of the image, and towards the other (at least on pic #2)

I have been EXTREMELY disappointed in the data speed and connectivity of my new HTC One M8 on Verizon. The phone was having difficulty where my previous phone (HTC Thunderbolt... yes I used it for 3 years) was working fine.
This evening I conducted a test holding the phone differently:

test time
1 1:33 Phone sitting on desk
2 1:35 Phone held in left hand in palm with finger touching both sides
3 1:35 Phone placed back on desk to repeat desk test... test did not complete.
4 1:37 Phone held with 2 thumbs and fingers at bottom and held up (new server after restarting the app after the previous test failure)
5 1:40 Phone sitting on desk
My phone is NOT in a case and does NOT have a bumper. I will repeat the test when I get a case.
This is only a single set of data and should be tried by others and at other times of day etc.
For those of you experiencing data issues -- do you use a cover or bumper?
For those NOT experiencing data issues -- do you use a cover or bumper?
If you're having problems then you probably have a defective phone. Just replace it at Verizon.

I appreciate your reply.
I did another test with a phone case around my HTC.
with case on Desk 12.25M up 5.56M down 57 ping
with case in hand 10.05M up 3.57M down 51 ping
with case in hand 10.07M up 3.45M down 81 ping
with case on desk 12.61M up 3.55M down 69 ping
without case in hand connection failure
The case helped a lot. There are admittedly many variables out of my control.
Would you still recommend replacement for a unit that worked fine with a case but poorly without one?
I've been getting poor speeds with my M8 when my Thunderbolt was fine, but I've figured out it's only on certain towers. An example: .6-5.5 down at home, 55-65 down at my brother's. Try testing distant locations as well.
Those speeds are average for semi weak signal areas. Depending on your city, the tower layout may not be very dense and more spread out. My city is decent size but spread out and has a few large traffic areas which have aws working. My house pulls 2-5mbps, I get 15-20 at work, while at my friends house I'll get 80-100+ down ( aws obviously). It just really depends on the signal strength and traffic on the tower. You could have a bad phone but I doubt it
