Ghetto Dock 1.0

So i realized i had a problem.. i had no dock. I saw some other self made docks around the forum and realized i didn't have any of the supplies So i made my own.
Required:
1 red cup
2 Screws
1 push pin
2 Screw anchors (thx MV10 for clearing that up )
Basically place the cup upside down, place the two screws equally apart on the bottom, place the two screw holsters on the sides of the push pin (mine fit fairly snug actually) then find the spot you'd like to angel your phone with and place it in, put the phone on and verify you like how it feels (might take a few adjustments here and there). Enjoy
I know it's extremely ghetto but hey it's labor day, and i'm at work (sucks) and there was nothing to do!
Attached is an image of the final product.

Sure it's ghetto, but it works and I'll bet you weren't bored for about half an hour finding the supplies and putting it together. Plus you can feel self satisfied whilst you watch your video

Sooo True! the cool thing about this is, the bezel on the phone actually kinda locks into the screws...the only funny thing is when i get a text the entire cup starts moving rofl.. Watching Kick-Ass on it right now too Working perfectly for what it's worth

The things you're calling "screw holsters" are called anchors.

Read the thread title, it clearly says DOCK in it, and GHETTO. Do the math.

Awsome ideas on the dock and the kickstand.

Here is a link to do a paper clip stand (it has been discussed before, but for the ones who don't know about it), includes a template.

hahaha he sure put alot more thought into it than i did... lol looks awesome i will soon have 2 docks to choose from

Man that guy put a lot of effort into that paper clip. Maybe to much, but I can really appreciate his efforts and willingness to share.

Sent myself the paper clip one to try at work..... during my break of course

Haha, I was @ work earlier when i made the dock... and the funny thing is i couldn't find a freakin paperclip which led me to using the red cup, the screw anchors and the screws (from a d-link switch box) rofl...

I just ordered one of these. When I get it I'll let you guys know how it is. I can't wait to use this with N64oid and play some tony hawk!!!!.....lol

awesome!
Keep us posted on how things go!

Sorry, but that is ridiculous that that is 20 dollars. You can find one of those Bluetooth gamepads for that much, though I realize it can't be used with actual xoom games that use an onscreen d-pad.

If you could use this on a game like PewPew.... Id be in...

holy ****!!! we can finally buy these now! Ordering now!

definitely interested in a full review of this with the Xoom.
When i saw these a few months ago all I could think was:
This will be sick when i finally get a honeycomb tablet.
well, i got one now so....!

I ordered two of these a couple of months back for my GTablet. Works great on the Xoom, you will not be disappointed, though sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it centered/setup the way you want. But I use mine daily.

They are made of plastic and are suprisingly sturdy for how much abuse I throw at them, I now use these every day.

on my Galaxy Tab for good measure, I hope they come out with a smaller variant for phones, I would buy them in a heartbeat.

i ordered better looking one from think geek. They are all metal and work great on my friends I pad. Once they get it tuesday ill take pics.

Thanx for the pix....I jus got mine and as soon as i get home from work I'll put em through their paces and let everyone what i think. So far I definitely love the build quality and i can say it does work.

thats tight!! i may get one

I have ordered about 7 of these so far, all my friends keep stealing them! X)

Just got these:
( lame, can't post links but google for JOYSTICK-IT )
Works awesome on huge variety of games! Got the double set for playing pew pew. Money well spent.

Got my car holder today

Very good service from ultimate-mobiles.co.uk, ordered yesterday and didn't expect it to be here when I got home.
Here's some pics I took. Gonna fit it in the car shortly. I like the way the legs come down and recess again if you don't want them there. And I like the white release button on the back. Also, the side clamps aren't big,ugly and obtrusive like many others. A very cool little black and white vent holder which I trust to hold the phone more than many others I checked out.

Awesome, 80 views.

Lol aww bless.
Don't go all huffy mate...
Personally I don't like how it looks. But it defiantely looks strong enough to keep the phone safe. Also good to know that company has good service, spotted a few things I fancy.
But I don't like how it looks, I'm sticking with my exogear.

Where did you bought it? It look very nice!
How much it cost?
Tks.

Looks really nice buddy, I'm thinking of ordering the vent mounted one too. At the moment I have a suction cup one that I used to use with my nexus s. The problem is the galaxy s2 is thinner than the nexus so my mount doesn't quite hold it so sturdily. These look ideal, any chance of pics with it installed so I can see what it looks like? Cheers

Sure, here it is, I took these pics today, here's a little gallery.

Rodrigo, it's from ultimate-mobiles.co.uk
I forgot to do pics in landscape mode. So yea, there's a knob on the back which loosens off and then tightens so you can rotate to landscape mode.
I've tested with some emergency brake stops, and the phone feels very solid in the holder, not shaking itself out. Also, you can adjust the vertical and horizontal angles so you can get the phone facing exactly where you want to the millimetre.

small world I live in Whetstone, lol

I got the suction cup version of this after I realised the magnet in my magnetic mount was screwing with the compass!
It's been serving me well for six months. I don't use the foldy out feet - it grips well enough without them.

Micro USB to HDMI MHL - $6.80 on Monoprice - 01/11 Only

Saw that these were on sale today for Monoprice, so decided to jump. Not sure if it is useful for anyone else, but wanted to share.
$6.80 today only: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2
Passing along in case anyone else has been wanting to check one out or waiting for a sale.
Yes, I know this isn't Epic only, but I usually don't venture outside of that section of XDA, so sharing here for others.

Thanks! I was JUST thinking about what I needed to hook up to my HDTV since HBO Go was just released yesterday. Works great on my E4GT, but I'd much rather show it on my HDTV.
Assuming that works, which I'm not actually sure it will. But only one way to find out...

lol i was about to post this! I bought mine a about 10 minutes ago, at that price i started to buy 2.... $8.51 shipped for me

I got one thanks. Beats $20 I was planning to spend on Amazon.

Just ordered it. Was a tad bit over 8 bucks after taxes shipped to Virginia Beach. Freaking awesome deal!

Great price, but it's one of those doodads i'll buy and use once and once the novelty wears off, sits in my drawer never to be used again. No real need or use really for me.

comes in handy when playing mario kart vs a friend

I can see me using this with Netflix on vacations/road trips, games on my tv and such. I have a 19" LCD tv that fits in my expedition nicely this will come in handy with keeping the kids quiet.

Got mine at this price before noticing this thread
sent from my Galaxy S 2 from Sprint on unnamed 2.0.1

In for one. Was actually going to purchase this the other night but held off, glad I did.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Good stuff!! I've wanted to get one of these but was waiting until the price was right because I wasn't sure how much I would use it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

i'm in for one too, thanks

Got mine in today, I played it with it for about an hour. It works pretty well but sometimes the screen will go black on the TV every now and then. I played DeadSpace and wreckless getaway for about 15 minutes, the phone got really hot, but it looked really good on the TV. If i have any problems watching Netflix using the doohickey Ill add it to this post. Not bad for 8.50.
My 3 year old daughter likes playing fruit roll on the TV, she's trying to touch the TV instead of the phone to make the guy jump haha.

I want to see the exploding spider!
She calls this game bombolis.

Got both of mine today. They sent me two on accident
sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I expected the quality of the images, or games to be better on my TV.
Anyone else not so impressed by the adapter?
Can't beat the price, but was just curious if others are experiencing better quality than myself.

got mine yesterday! im pretty satisfied and it looks great on my tv

Just got my adapter yesterday, but i'm having trouble getting it to work. I tried three different hdmi cables and it seems like there's no input going to the TV. Is there a setting on the phone that i'm suppose to select for this to work? Thanks!

Plug in the power (phone charger into the micro USB on the side of the device), plug the HDMI cable into the adapter, then plug the phone in. That's all.

Motorcycle mount for Galaxy Note

I am sure someone out there wants to use a NOTE on motorcycle or bicycle as a GPS or to track their rides.
Got myself this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bicycle-Mot...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=6534259988712972168
Its well built mounts very nice and is quite stable. I will get pictures of the actual thing on my ZX12R.
Locks the note into place very well, won't work with any cases on the Note and I would suggest using a zip tie to lock it into place, just in case, don't want my $700 phone flying off at 100 mph.
Hope this helps someone.

looks good, but i have a case so no good
have you seen one that will support a case?

extremely awesome bro.. hope its available in my country soon...

looks good, but is it secure?. . i mean if someone drove by could they rip it off . .i live in vietnam and that thing would be swiped in about 30 minutes. .or is it locke don there good ..

yeah buddy.. safety looks like an issue.. can we detach the phone easily when away from the bike?

im not even talkjng about when away from the bike. . when riding these guys will ride up next to you and snatch that. . i wouldnt leave it when i wasnt with my bike. .

Hmmmm....would want some additional latches or something for reassurance it doesn't fly off when I'm on my motorbike. Zip ties are a bit long considering you have to cut them to take them off.

Just be careful. I had one on an iPhone 4 and it lasted a good six months but the bottom leg gave out and splattered my phone on the freeway.

This one doesn't look bad. Thinking about buying one...

I use something like this for some time now. Works fine.

Sorry about the delay in responding, I was away.
Rip off while driving is not gonna happen, it ain't that easy to get it out, you need 2 hands.
I did test it on my 12R and was doing about a 100 mph and it stayed stable, I would not want the fone on my dash for a top speed run.

Looking forward to seeing it on your ZX12R.
I am using a Universal Ram Mount for my note on my DL1000 V-Strom.
Been running with it for several years and several different phones.
Never lost a phone to date and that include some wild off road rides.
Here is a shot of it holding my old Treo Pro after I biffed it good. Windscreen shattered but Phone held tight.
As for using it with a case, to have it fit the Note I have it extended to the max setting so it is not case option solution either.

There is another case version: http://www.bikemate.org/.
They have a "Slim 2 Size L" version on ebay.
