Easy car mount

I wanted a mount for my Dodge caliber, but didn't want to spent a fortune.
So, i simply got one of those long gooseneck one that attach to the windshield (against the law in California) and crammed it into the dashboard.
Works perfect, and solid as a rock.

No, that's above.
It's kind of a useless hole because anything you put in there comes flying out when you're driving.

The gooseneck swivel thing is against the law in California? Interesting... what's the reason for that?

obscures your driving path?

Well.. I suppose it does when you stick it right in front of you... but in the lower middle part of the windshield, I don't see how it would.
Are there more states/countries where this is forbidden? Just curious.

Yeah, Minnesota is the only other state that has a similar law that I know of. But it's not enforced at all; I've had my Magellan on my windshield for a couple of years.
As for (my native) Europe, I haven't figured that out yet.

That's hilarious, because the same thing happens in my caliber. I used to put my smokes in that hole, but they kept flying out into the floor when I would take off from a stop light or something.
Thanks for the tip though, I might try this out.

lmao i have the same holder but i never thought about sticking it in that hole..... I'm gonna have to try that!

Seriously its great. Rocksolid, and I really like the location of the phone there. Perfect height access wise.
I like it way better than on top of the dash. And its clear if all vents as well.

[Q] Volume Button Missing?

I just bought an HTC Sensation 4G off ebay, and when I got it I noticed that the volume buttons are missing. The buttons themselves still work - I pressed both with a letter opener and they're fine. I've contacted the seller about this, but is this http://www.parts4repair.com/volume-button-for-htc-sensation-sensation-xe/ the correct piece to replace what's missing? I really don't want to return it, because otherwise the phone is in great shape and works perfectly.

Yeah those look to be what you need. Cheap

The problem I'm seeing is that the seller is based in Hong Kong, and so is every ebay seller for this item.... It's going to take a long time for the part to get here.... what about this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-OEM-HTC-Sensation-4G-Door-Back-Cover-With-Power-Volume-Button-Sensation4G-/130622693934?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e69b8222e#ht_1207wt_1163? I don't really need an entire new back door but if it comes with the part and will get here faster I'll pay $7 more.

Yeah that's a way better buy. US seller with free shipping.

Thanks for the help. Also, what was HTC thinking, making the volume/power buttons part of the back cover rather than the phone itself? It's not surprising that this is a common problem; at least according to Google. It's just bad design.

Yeah I agree. This is the first phone I ever had with almost everything on the back cover.

HTC Letter fell out

Today the glue filled into the C that is engraved in the back of the phone came out. I'm kinda an HTC fanboy so this left me pretty upset.... My camera lens is also really scratched up. Has anyone dealt with this issue and how was it handled?

Someone else mentioned this happening. HTC offered to fix the phone which meant the owner would be without the device for ~10 days. You may look into seeing if VZW will swap it out.

Yes the post title was "HTC is a joke" I believe. discussion surrounded the rma process.

Slickwraps sells lens protectors, but that's probably a moot point since it's already scratched. However, buying some protection might help prevent further damage.

Space between glass and the metal case

My model is SM-G950FD, everything OK but i disappointed in the screen/glass quality. I can insert two note (polymer). This is an image with only one note

Mine is same on the bottom

For me it all, in 4 round it widest. Samsung service ignore me to exchange, they say it is in factory standard.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/gaps-device-collecting-debris-t3602511
same, gaps on the sidenot too much of a problem for me, its the gap at the top and bottom which is collecting dirt that is the problem on mine.

Makes you wonder if youd still trust taking it in the water.

I've heard it's ventilation for heat. The G6 has em as well.

This is normal. Read your manuals people...
It says variations and gaps on sides are expected, and will have no effect on the handset.
Mass production tolerances.

You feel like these manufacture variances maintain the water resistance still?

I do. They wouldn't allow a tolerance that didn't. You wouldn't set a tolerance that would compromise the specs.

Yeah I guess that seems true enough, just seems weird that it has such a large gap, liquid can certainly get in there and just sit between the glass and metal.

Very true. I think it's the adhesive that performs the waterproofing magic though. No doubt a tighter tolerance would be preferable.

Black specks on back of silk white

I received my OP6 silk white yesterday and there are a number of small black specks across the back that won't come off- it looks like a bit of dirt or something that's got trapped in the process of making the back or something. Has anyone else faced this issue? Trying to decide whether to get a replacement as even though they're small it drives me mad knowing they're there!

Get it replaced

Everyone I've shown it to says I'm being ridiculous as they're probably less than a mm each. I suppose I don't exactly sit around staring at the back of my phone.

Be ridiculous. Its your phone. Own it. My first op6 had a small crack on the top near the notch and everyone said the same thing. But I still got it replaced.

It's basically the same as this. The black speck in that photo to the left of the camera is what I have on mine, but mine is to the right of the camera and another further down.

I would say get jt replaced while you can. But be ready to face the same issue with the replacement if it has that.
