LG Optimus One Car Holder

Since i bought my Optimus One i have been looking for a good car holder. I really hate the suction mounts for the windscreen because they are pretty far away and can be destracting, so the LG SCS-320 accessory was useless to me. Plus i did not find it in stock in any shops in my country.
I searched for some universal mobile phone holders but all i could find were some bad made in china models.
A good friend of mine is the Brodit importer in my country. I had already got the dash mount for my 2008 Opel Astra H. Unfortunately, Brodit don't make a holder for this type of phone, probably because LG already has one, so, temporarily, i was using a Nokia ajustable holder, but that wasn't really what i wanted.
Today i went to his shop and he suggested i look through his stock in search of a mobile phone holder that fits. After 10 minutes i found it. It was a padded holder (very nice because the phone doesn't get scratched) for and old iPhone 2G. It fits perfectly. The product code is 875168 if anybody is intrested.
Pics below:

So, any iphone 2g holder is ok?

Well the Brodit one fits perfectly. Cant guarantee for the others. Its better if u can test it before you buy it.

Do you think a car holder like this would work for the P500? http://www.emag.ro/accesorii-telefo...o-universal-hama-pentru-telefon-mobil--p17658
Don't mind the language though

Of course it will work, it's universal. I wanted something with a bit more quality though.
Nici mie nu imi place limba aia

I got LG's car holder and car charger with my Optimus One when i bought it. It came in same retail package. I can give you exact model. Its SCS-320 theres pic too.
*edit sorry. Just wokeup so i haven't read your post good and missed part about what kinda car holder you are looking for.

Well i already have a car holder (the one in the pics above), just wanted to share it because i thought it may help some people

yeah I like your design better pejte opposed to the one that sticks into the window

It's not my design, they are made by Brodit. I have just tested out a few holders and found one that fit, because they dont make a dedicated holder for this phone.

Sorry for the offtopic: what's the name of that clock widget?

nice idea! only bad thing is you have to screw into the dash...

You don't have to screw anything into the dash. That's the thing with the Brodit products. Go to their website and see the short presentaton clip.

great idea
very nice maybe i will try it.
in what rom are you useing?

Soo Good i have one in my car.

I bought one from walmart I think, hooks up in the car vent, horizontal or vertical, I leave it in horizontal mode for navigation (widescreen). I hook up my phone with my car stereo, and when the call comes in they get routed through car speakers and the mic picks up my voice perfectly fine. Pretty awesome.

I've used a similar car mount, but replaced it now with an X-Grip from Type-S.
I'd post a link or picture but I can't yet, just google search for "x-grip type-s"
I't great because you can adjust the angle of your screen in any way, and it works with the phone in a vertical or horizontal position

Just saw some nice car holders for all the phones on lootspot.com... although it doesnot have international shipping

Wow, it seems very nice. Thanks for sharing.

+1 . I want that

The idea seems really good. Where does your friend have the store located?

Pretty cool - and cheap - car dock

I wasn't happy with the crap-tastic Verizion car dock, so I decided to steal an idea from another forum her and try a GPS mount. I found a really nice series at Best Buy from Bracketron - their Grip-iT Mobile Device Holders come is a variety of mounting configurations, including the vent mount I got. It's a pretty common design, but seems pretty well-built for $19.99.
The arms don't spread wide enough for the phone to fit in a landscape orientation, but you put it in portrait and then rotate the whole dock. There is enough pressure for it to stay securely on its side (my kid loves to watch Netflix on the way to school).
Anyhoo, I don't have enough posts to share a link from Best Buy, but it's easy to find on their site. Staples carries it as well.

Wow... now that's ugly.

To be honest, I think much of that is due to trying to take a flash photo in a dimly lit car inside a dark garage. It's certainly not a work of art, but it's not as bad as the photo would indicate. It's actually very black - even the pads. You might want to google it for a better view, unless you were just hatin' for no apparent reason. In which case, I'd say, well played, sir.

Better view.

Dammmn i realy like it, does it rotate?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App

As the OP said, it does rotate. I've had one in my car for years. Though I ditched its mount and affixed it to a ProClip (didn't like it hanging on my vent, the Volkswagen louvres are individual and can easily break). I've been pretty happy with it as it holds most anything i can throw at it as long as its not something small like an iPod nano.

I have pretty much that same dock, though probably a Chinese knock off (paid around $4 for it). Been using it for the last year and it works great. I like just being able to slide my phone in and out of it rather than clip it into a dock. I also eventually upgraded it to attach to my dash with one of these.

Also using this same car dock. Had it for about a year or so.
Mine is made by "Scosche" and I picked it up at the local Walmart.

wow, talk about old school looking!

It's junk, I had two of them.
Bought them from Best Buy.
1st one lasted 3 weeks before it would no longer open.
2nd one lasted 2 month before it would no long stay closed

HTC One X Desktop Cradle with Speaker CR S650

http://www.expansys.com/htc-one-x-d...tm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base&ito=1701
Considering getting one of these when they are released... I just wanted to ask if anyone has read about the wattage? If it works as a decent speaker I'd be more than tempted. If it's a measley 2.5W pile of nothing I might not bother...

i dont think the speaker will be anything good, more about just puttng the phone on a dock, but i do think its overpriced for what it is, but i love the idea of it.

I just think perhaps the wattage could be the decider... if it's good it'll be reasonable value. I suspect it might not be though

I think its more "gentle" to put the phone on a cradle like this then fiddle in the plug every night isnt it?!

Be warned that if you want to use a case on the phone and still dock it, the ONLY hard case that seems to let the "pins" of the dock reach the back of the phone is the HTC HC C704 which stupidly doesn't have a clear version like the HTC HC C700. The C700 is missing the holes!! Very odd design choice by HTC

Poor thing! And the c704 don`t seems to protect the ring around the lense of the cam.

You can't protect the ring on the camera with the docking cases because the dock has a groove that holds the camera, and the extra protection would make it sit in the dock less securely(because it can't sit flush to the dock). I believe that is why they differentiated the cases.

But there is a white and a grey version to match each colour of the phone.
For me, the dock is tempting for work to keep it charged and sync my outlook calendar.

Is anybody interested in cheaper version with only pogo-pin charging? It seems that pogo connectors are availiable from chinese producers, we just need to design the case and electronics I would throw in my 20 Euro for a good designed product.
Let me know if you are interested in kickstarted project.

I'm interested. I only want charging really, not bothered about a crappy speaker
Si

love the idea!
make it a clean design, and my money is yours
maybe a hdmi connector too? <- would pay more for that maybe as special version?

The main thing putting me off about this dock is the angle at which the device will sit, as far as I'm concerned it's far too shallow.

I agree with my Rotherham friend. I'm not interested in it doing anything fancy then
Charge the device
Make it enter dock mode
Look pretty
Si

I like it, I might get one for work, so I can clearly see my phone screen when I'm at work.
I'm guessing if the phones in the cradle then Sense 4.0 will go landscape?

I would buy a cheap dock for charging.... hdmi sounds good but I guess the cost will slowly creep up....

Can you link to it ?
Si

a link please ..?

All docks that are available now use micro USB not the pogo pins! I thought about starting a project but I'm lacking electronics skills... A friend of mine can model the product in CAD and I could find a way to print a prototype in 3D but first pogo pin charging needs to be reverse engineered and tested. I think HTC may have added some kind of accessory verification...

Is there anyone who've bought this cradle already?? The want to buy one, if the connection between the dock and telephone is good. So if there is anyone who've bought it could you give a review??

LEGO dock/stand for Z3c+Moto360

Here I come to present my lego dock for z3c & moto360
Features:
Fully reconstructible and repairable model
Cat-proof ( a cat chews/eats a part or two - you can replace it( the part, I mean, NOT the cat ))
Changable colours
Possible future upgrades (to put my gf's Z3c also to dock)
Materials used:
LEGO System A/S wanted kids to have a buildable helicopter. Didn't even try to make it.
Price:
The helicopter box cost around 800 Russian Rubles, which is about 13 Euro or 14 Dollars.
The dock built from it is priceless :victory:
P.S.: charger cable used is a magnetic one bought on Ali for like $3 for 2 pcs. the magnet is pretty weak, basically, thats why I built a dock for it to hold tight
P.S.2.: Sorry for bad language and unnatural text formating
Cheers, m8s, and LLAP :good:

lego Dock, you should try patent that before someone steals your idea

Does it come with a helicopter to Z3 compact conversion manual?
hahaha, great man looks wonderful.

Z1 to potential Z5P buy sunlight question. Please

Hi, here is the for the short story. I own a Z1 that I realy like. Since my teen son start to begging for a phone, I want to give him and get a new one for me. My Z1 have around 50000km on my motocycle dash, in sun, rain, snow, fog , got a few fall and one very rough and still like new. I bought it with that in mind, got attracted by the sealing doors and the magnetic cable to easy durable plug/unplug. I doubt usb would have survive.
Because of the above, I went naturally to the xperia line for my next phone since il will get in the same adventure. I have the Z5P in sight. There is few things that bug me and like to have you comments. Look like the magnet is not there and not clear that it is compatible with wireless charging that will be probably better. The usb plug is wide open but nothing that can be solve by a tape or aftermarket plug. The show stoper I have is the screen under sunligh. The Z1 was good, not exceptional but good and I had an homemade 3D sls printed cradle with a sun cap that helped. According to gsm arena, the Z5P is file way lower than the Z1 in sunlight view. Can the display constrast/luminosity be solve with some settings/custom roms without damaging the phone. Whit all that story in mind, I'd really like to have your comments an experiences shared with me. Thanks KK01
