I found a couple of nice, cheap car accessories for my P3300

I use this rubber skin to keep my phones finish looking new. Also, I found this vent mount at an auto parts store for $8.99 USD. Works very well! And You can also see the control module for my Parrot CK3000 behind the steering wheel.

Here's another shot of just the mount.
I hated vent mounts until I saw this one. Usually they look big and clunky, taking up a lot of space. But this one is very low profile. And when i'm not using GPS, I can easily remove it and fold the clamp flat to put it away. It's called Type S. Got it at Pep Boys if anyone is interested.
Also, the Parrot CK3000 is just awesome! It works so well I bought a newer version for my wifes car to use with her wizard. I highly recommend this kit if you like a clean look in your car. The new ones are all black and are less than $100 USD on Amazon.
And lastly, I've been using this rubber skin I got from EBay for about $10 USD for about 7 months. It's very nice. The only problem is that the scroll wheel is a little more difficult to use but the scroll ball does the same function. It's a little thick but it still fits snug into the OEM HTC holder that comes with the phone. It has really protected my phone well. I've dropped it a couple of times but I don't even have one scratch on my phone after about 8 months of ownership. I highly reccommend it if you don't mind the extra thickness. For me it wasn't a big deal because I have big hands and it actually makes the device easier to handle now. It was too small without the skin for me. Just wanted to share this for the archives.

please, shop in ebay?

Is your HTC P3300 battery running out of life quickly or will it not start-up at all? The battery life of your HTC P3300 Mobile is limited like any other device containing rechargeable batteries. The battery capacity of the HTC P3300 Pocket PC drops every time you use it.

New Cars

Hi
Car Accessories is looking beautiful but actually there is one problem that is i don't know about how to drive a car. So exactly i don't know this car is cheap or costly.

Those were nice car accessories that you have for your P3300. I hope that you are having a good time using that accessory and maybe in the future, you can find one again that will definitely suits you.

Good Vehicle Mount?

I ordered a vehicle mount from Amazon and had to return it. The "arms" that held the phone in place covered the volume rocker. Only way to make it work was to sit it in the there not centered and that just looked bad. Paid $25 for it so I didn't want to have to do that just to make it work.
Has anyone gotten a vehicle mount that works properly? Preferably from Amazon?
Here is what I ordered before.

I personally just make my own. Buy a reasonably cheap hard case from eBay, and combine it with a Garmin sat nav mount also from eBay. Some heavy duty Velcro and it works great. Did the same with my desire. Means I can interchange for when I am driving or my partner now she has the desire. Also cost about £6 in materials and postage.

Based on what I heard other people say in this forum I went with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Also checked some reviews on youtube.. just got it yesterday so I can let you know how it goes by end of next week...

I normally go with Arkon. I had one mount for 4 years, it charged it too. However it finally went out. And yes, you can get it from amazon prime : )

I ordered an electronic cheapo from hk for $10. It has adjustable everything. It even handled my atrix very well considering the spot of usb and hdmi on that. And it has to two flip out arms on bottom. I just use the one on the left so I can plug my 3.5mm jack in.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

Thanks for the responses. I just ordered the Arkon one. That one looks like it should work really well!

Here's the mount I ordered until Proclip starts shipping their mount:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
I posted a pic up there with my gnex in it. The mount is flimsy compared to the proclip I used with my dinc for 2 years but I didn't expect much for $15.
The Gnex fits in it just fine and no buttons or ports are covered. Didn't want to drop $50 on the crappy VZW mount only to pitch it when my proclip comes. My Xterra doesn't have a lot of places to set it and I was tried of it sliding off my leg and smacking into the door on turns
After using it for a few days I will say I wish it stayed attached to my AC vent a little better but generally it does what it says and stays put.

Very similar to the exo mount posted here too.
I really want the Samsung GSM one though...

Battery workaround

Hey
I really want this phone but the fact it has no removable battery is a massive minus.
Has anyone discovered a work around for this? I mean like a small emergency charger that will boost the phone for 1-2 hours?
When i go to football i always tweet/FB heavily. And i find by 4-5 pm (5 hours unplugged) i need to think about putting my spare battery in. It isnt the best spare battery but will give the phone an extra 1-2 hours which is enough time for me.
Thanks

Why not a quick google search for mobile power storage? or mobile power?

Order one of these: http://s.dealextreme.com/search/battery+pack+phone
That's what I did.

Are the Duracell ones any good for phones this high spec?
Are the others small enough to carry in your pocket?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Brand/price of the charger doesn't matter. I use 10 euro worth small charger that has connector built in, it doesnt use cable. I just plug it into my phone and it will charge it. I always have it in my bag, fully charged. Use it rarely, but knowing I have it there helps. It's also light enough.
a bigger version of this:

I have one of those 5000mah packs from asolar (theres alot of them on amazon) and it works great! Although it's way too large to fit into your pocket, i usually bring it when I'm traveling. It can fully charge a phone like the one X - Twice!
About the size:
Its about the same size as an SGS, but twice as thick.

Are the duracells any good? Would the one x get a fee hours of charge?

True, but the specs do. How fast the battery pack outputs power makes a big difference in how long it takes to charge the phone. Also some of the higher-end solutions can hold up to four full charges. Here's a chart...

Yes but I wanted cheap solution that works. So it charges pretty quickly as it gets really worm while charging my phone. It's not going to make my phone last a day, the purpose is to give me a boost when needed, nothing more, and for that its perfectly spent tenner.
I do have another charger that holds way more power and is able to charge my laptop, comes with multiple plugs as well as USB port, but I wouldn't carry that with me everyday like I can with the small cheap one.

I got a 7000mah one from Amazon for 20 quid, it's a cheaper less rip off copy of the 'new trent' chargers can't remember the brand though. Works a treat, charges with 1amp just as quick as a mains charger!

Offbrand Wireless Charging Orb

I found a nice wireless charger online, but due to the fact that I haven't bought a wireless charger before, I have no idea if the specifications it has are any good. Here's a link : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F9SKJN6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1E57UY6AMKO25

What do you guys think?

I bought the same one. Had it for about a week now, and with no problems charging the phone.
My only issue is trying to find a case for the phone that doesn't slide off the charger. Both spigen cases I have bought, the phone slides off after a few minutes. Without a case, the phone stays on beautifully. However, I like to keep my phone in a case all the time. Any suggestions?

Try attaching some thin magnets on the surface of the charger. You could alternatively buy some magnet tape and apply that.

I also found this one that looks fine but there are no reviews so I'm a little bit hesitant. http://www.amazon.com/PThink-Qi-Ena...e=UTF8&qid=1390259691&sr=8-6&keywords=qi+coil

That really depends on where the coils are located on that device. It looks like it should work, if you are going by the qi mark in the center, because the coil on the N5 is close to the center of the phone.
EDIT: I see they say it has three coils. If that is the case, then it's like the Tylt VU where it has three or so coils.

Those specs are good. It's the same 1000mA output as most Qi chargers. If the output is rated below 1000mA then don't buy it.

That's odd. I have the same off-brand (bought mine on NewEgg, but it looks to be the same one) Qi charger and I've not had any kind of slippage issues with mine.
Took it on a trip recently, and it held up just fine without slipping when I was using my Ringke Slim case. And-- needless to say-- I have no slipping problems when I'm not traveling, and go caseless on my N5.
I always did prefer the Nexus Orb charger look!

Coocher 5 Port Desktop Wall Charger (great for travel!)

You can grab one here
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TDHEFNY?utm_source=amazon&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=charger
I am reviewing the following device in return for the usage and review of the said item here in XDA. I am not employed or affiliated with them, they were kind enough to seek my opinion on this product.
While not an accessory specific to Nexus 6, I figured I'd add this here because the N6 does have Quick Charging and wanted to let people know my experience with the item.
And honestly, I was looking for one of these desktop chargers for home. I previously bought one when I go on trips to power my various devices, but was looking to upgrade due to me and my wife's phone now equipped with Quick Charge 2.0.
Upon receiving it, The packaging was really nice. Minimal and not too much. Just enough to protect the contents and not hard to unpack at all. Inside housed the desktop charger, the plug, instructions, and other literature as seen in the pics.
The look is a nice textured matte finish and you can grip it pretty well. It has a good weight to it so it won't fly off your desk if you push papers towards it. You can orient it any way you would like to use it, but my preference for this charger is flat with the print facing up. I found that this way, it won't flop over, even though it has some heft to it, you can accidentally knock it over.
There is a power LED when you plug it into the wall. Not bright, just a nice dim blue led to let you know it's on. IMO a nice touch. Next I plugged in both mine and my wife's phone. (Nexus 6 and HTC M8 respectively). And both charged up pretty quickly! I then tested out the remaining three ports (the non-quick charge ones) and all worked as it should. Also I have to note that all the USB ports were easy to plug in and remove with different usb cords.
So is there really any negatives here? Not that I can see. This is a great product for the price listed on Amazon (17 USD prior to shipping if not a prime member).
Maybe offer different colors? With different color LEDs? Just throwing some quick things off the top of my head. But otherwise it's a great product to use.
Would I recommend this? Yes! Because multiple devices that have Quick Charge, we needed this for the times we need to quickly charge up before heading out to of the house and not really worry about carrying external batteries.
