My previous (current) phone stand in my car hits the lower volume button on my 4a 5G so the stand is constantly lowering the volume of my phone.
Anyone know of a good stand that maybe has the side arms pinchers in a lower spot so as not to tamper with my volume?
I use a base that has a suction on the bottom to hold it to a smooth plate.
Mine looks like this:
Looks kinda like this one

Is anyone experiencing the same as I am?
The volume buttons attached to the back cover are loose, they move about 1mm to every direction and make a rattling noise if I shake the phone or lay it down on a table. Not the quality I got used to in my Nexus One in 1.5 years.
It is the only thing physically wrong on my Sensation, the growing hate towards the Sense is worth another topic though.
I also had some rattling on my volume keys. It was very annoying but it is an easy fix. Just take out the back cover and you will see that volume points on the phone are flat squared points. You can cut some scotch tape that fits on those volume points. I did about two layers on volume up and one layer of tape on volume down. No more rattling anymore!
Not going to tape my 800$ phone :S after a good night sleep I'm facing the hard decision of returning this one...
I have a HD2 and i was looking for cases for my phone. Unfortuneately they don't make to many good cases for it but i noticed the HTC Inspire and the HD2 have almost identical measurements. The Inspire measures 4.8" x 2.64" x 0.43" and the HD2 is 4.8" x 2.68" x 0.46". As you can tell there is about or less then a milimeter difference in some areas.
I was thinking what i might run into though is the placement of the camera and the volume keys. With that said i went to walmart which had this phone on display and i took my gel case off my phone and put it on the Inspire. My soft gel case fit it absolutely perfect. Could someone please measure though how far up from the bottom of the phone the volume keys start and end so that i can confirm a hard case would fit my phone? The other issue is that the HD2 camera led and speaker phone are reversed around. The leds are on the left while on the Inspire they are on the right. The two cases i was looking at, one by Case-mate and the other by Seidio have three very large openings in the back to allow for proper operation for my speaker phone, camera and camera leds. Any other measurements supplied would be great. Thanks for your help.
Edit: Sorry that i posted this in the wrong thread. I had two browser pages opened and i did not realize i posted it the Inspire General section instead of posting it in the Inspire Q&A.
Looks like 2.5 inches or 65 mm., based on the pic you attached. From bottom of device to just below the volume rocker.
Feel free to hit the Thanks button. ;o)
The HD2 volume rocker sits about 1/8 lower at the bottom than the Inspire. And the top of the rocker is about 3/8 lower than that of the Inspire. One other important feature to look at is the back edge of the Inspire is more rounded than the HD2. My TPU gel case for my Desire HD/Inspire does not come up over the left and right side of my HD2 as far as it should. Bottom ports may be only a mm or 2 off. Camera, speaker, and LED should be no issue as long as the hole is one large hole as the Inspire items are wider than the HD2 items on the back.
Thanks. I did notice the volume keys on my HD2 sat a little lower and the keys themselves was shorter in length then the Inspire. All others measurments seem to work out rather well. Below is a picture of the two cases i am looking at. One of them has the larger opened back and the other has three large openenings, i'm not 100% sure that would work but it looks as if it wouldn't give me any issue. The black and blue one is made by Seidio and the black and grey one is made by Case-mate. Do you think either would fit better then the other?
I can say the black one definitely won't unless you trim the opening to 1 continuous hole. I don't have a seido so it would be hard to say.
I have that exact Seidio case on my Inspire. It might work for you since it's basically a silicone case surrounded by a harder shell. It's 2 pieces, and the shell piece is still slightly flexible. Plus the power and volume buttons are not cut out. I really like it because my old hard shell case with the power and volume cutouts made pressing the power button a pain. Amazon has it, so you could try it and send it back if it doesn't work. That's whay I love Amazon.
So i have signed up for Googles new music service "All Access". I love it, however, I have noticed one thing about it. It puts one hell of a strain on my Nexus 4s modem when streaming in high quality.
I found out that if I run a GPS app such as ingress or Waze while streaming hi quality audio from All Access that eventually my phone will get so hot that my internet connection pretty much stops working all together. I like to run Waze every morning for my commute because the police alerts are sweet and i also like to stream music.
I have tried every software tweak i can think of to help with this issue including underclocking, unvolting, underclock GPU, screen brightness ECT....but it doesn't prevent it. My only idea left if to have the phone held by a vent mounted clip and expose the area around the camera (where it is very very hot) to the flow of cool air while i drive. Hopefully the phones back doesn't get that hot if the phone is exposed to the air from the start.
Does anyone have experience with a vent clip that works well with vertical vents?
I have horizontal vents but I was able to use this mount I got on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380541142201&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
The vent clip is rotatable so it can be use on either horizontal or vertical vents. It technically didn't fit my N4 but after some bic lighter manipulations my phone fits pretty snug with it's Ringke Fusion case. I heated up the 2 corner clips and used a pair of pliers to bend out the hooks at the ends. I also stretched out the center holding clip so it would fit my phone better. The whole thing is not super locked into place since it can still wiggle but I am sure that is isn't going to fall off since the hooking mechanism is pretty well done.
You can use a binder clip car dock.

Just had this happen to me today. I'm streaming all access while charging and my phone got so hot that it stopped charging. My fix is the mount that goes in the CD tray. I just aim one of my vents toward the phone and it can't possibly overheat.
I just shove it into one of the vents and crank up the ac Lol two mins its cool Lol. Short term solution

You can also block the vent in behind the holder. That's what I did. By totally fluke the dark grey plastic that DVD movie cases are made of match the color of my dash.
So I cut up an old DVD cass the right size and stuck it in between the vent grills and the vent housing. Then made holes for the arms of the phone holder.
Here's a pic.

Hi All,
I have a relatively rugged cover on my HTC One M9. The cover is great for protecting the phone, but it isn't particularly 'button friendly'. Half the time when I try to turn the volume up on my phone (using the volume up button) the volume goes down, or the volume 'bounces' between going up and down. Many times when I have attempted to turn the volume down (using the volume down button) I have inadvertently turned the screen off, due to accidentally engaging the power button. Ultimately I don't think that the button placement on this phone is particularly well thought out. On future phones I will always check to make sure that the power button is nowhere near the volume buttons. This being said for the foreseeable future I will be using my new HTC One M9 phone so I am wondering if anyone can suggest a good cover that won't cause my buttons to 'play up'. My preference is for a gel cover, or similar, essentially anything that doesn't cover the screen (e.g.: flip covers).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
Hello there, i would suggest you forget the ugly gel cases and try this one: https://youtu.be/xAqf6hsQ2yQ
After doing a bit of research (I just picked up this phone the other day), I decided to order the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I was going to go with a casemate because I had one a while back and really liked it, anyway. On their site it runs about $35 but I ordered this one yesterday from Amazon for about $20, pretty much everyone has good things to say, even a few people on here recommended it:

After plenty of searching for "Best Case for HTC One M9", it pretty much boils down to a handful and what you decide will probably be based on your preference. Just looking at the first page of google search results spits back plenty of choices: https://www.google.com/webhp?source...=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=best case for htc one m9
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the suggestions.
casperlt1 - Can you please leave some feedback on how you found the 'Spigen' cover?
Kind Regards,
Davo
I've had my M9 for nearly a year and have the Spigen Thin Fit cast on it. I don't drop my phones regularly and have never shattered a screen, so my criteria was just to get something that would give better grip, add as little thickness as possible, and let me use the buttons without issue, and this case has been the perfect solution.

I had that problem (the volume 'bounces' between going up and down) with the spigen ultra hybrid case, it has some bump to reach the buttons, all did was to cut those bumps with an x-acto and now it's perfect
I've used many cases with mine. The ice view always tears at the hinge, the rugged ones were very cumbersome and one led to my phone dying from water damage (rain collecting in the top part of the case and leaching through the irda blaster)
Spigen neo is my current case and I really like it apart from its far too easy to press the buttons. While driving with the phone in my pocket it often turns itself up or down but I like the case

Cut a little the inside of the case , the buttons in the inside have a little rubber to reach the phone but it's too much. I did that to mine
I have M9 since a week and i have bought Baseus case for it .
Fits perfectly with my M9 . It is also very thin and smooth .
.
I suggest you try this baseus case , which is better than the one i have bought

Any recommendations for one with a kick-stand?
Which screen protector do you use?
I hear some types of protectors can cause problems.
Does anyone know where to find a rubber bumper? I've seen only metal ones.

Yes! I also bought this one. It is very solid and high quality thing, which makes me not to worry about my phone. You can remove plastic piece to put this cover on or off your phone much easier. Very convinient.
Try cocose.
I currently using this case and this is really strong

Try this. It's the best you can get. A bit heavy, but the phone is light by it's own, so it doesn't end up that bad. What's important is that the plastic is very hard and will probably never break unless you step on it with a car. They use metal for top and bottom, while for the corner it's a mix of metal from the top cover and plastic from the while body, so i guess if you drop it on the corner, the metal part will bend first and then the plastic will absorb the remaining impact and break, that way your phone will be safe. i've been using it for a week and it feels amazing in my hand
All of the above cover the whole back side of the battery, which makes cooling a big problem. Especially when charging and using the phone at the same time, e.g. during car navigation, it gets extremely hot and starts throttling even without a back cover.
