Universal Car Dock?

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?

Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered the Skiva StrongMount today. Should have it by tomorrow.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

Sure. Just got it. Gonna try it out tonight.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks

I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I dig it. Its been on my dash since I bought it and its fallen off twice, which I think is due to the heat from being in direct sun light for months.

Clean and solid car mount......

Thought I would share my cell mount that I got. I hated big klunkie mounts and buying a new one every time I get a new phone. I found these, one would do but for hard driving two lock the phone in place and nfc works fine.

Which ones did you get? There are multiple options! This is DEFINITELY what I've been looking for!!

One ego for the vent and one fix, I didn't plan on using both but the car is a Charger SRT-8 and if I pushed the car I could make it fall off. Now in most cars this would not be an issue but I like to push it every now and then...

Okay so... the "fix" fastens to the back of the phone and the "ego" clips to the vent? That right?

The "fix" is stuck to the dash under the ego in the vent . All that's on the phone is the metal button that sticks to the magnet in the ego/fix they come with four buttons to choose from..

Alright. I'll be ordering later this morning, haha. Thanks, mate.

is there any options to use this to mount the phone higher up on the windshield like a standard suction cup mount? i really like the idea but i've use vent mounts before i dont really like how it blocks the vent and you have to look away from the road to see your phone.

Just a caution: The stick on variant doesn't like ALL dash types, no matter how well you prep. In my case Subaru WRX.

I got the fixWAY. I love it so much I ended up buying 3 of them, one for each vehicle

I got a car mount from dealextreme and it is quite good. Secure quite tightly and doesnt come loose as i encounter with other mounts.
Granted does not fit when i have my extended battery fit on the phone

Does having a magnet on the back of the phone (when mounted) cause any problems or raise any concerns for anyone?

Yeah that's been asked a few times no it does not matter actually they are 4 small magnets which produce the magnetic fields that holds the phone.

Here's my setup with the Tetrax Fixway mount I like it a lot. I just used a case to attach the magnet to so I wouldn't have to stick one on my actual phone. It's much more convenient I can just strap on the case when I get in the car and mount it to the Fixway either landscape or portrait.

Gnexus to one x

Hi guys,
Considering moving from my nexus to the one x, has anyone done so and if you have any regrets? Pros / cons?
I'm sorely tempted but have a couple of reservations. Camera lens / battery life
I get 2 days out my gnexus
Thanks
Barry
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I have a galaxy nexus galaxy s2 and 1x. Battery is pretty poor on the Ox iff you compare it to the gnex but im sure an update will sort it. Whats your concern about cam lens? Is it because it sticks out iff so i just keep mine in a pouch an dont put it in poket with keys just like any other device iv had. The handset other than that is awesome in my eyes
Mod or Die

Yeah it is the protruding lens, does the 1x come with a pouch? I like the nexus but do not like amoled screen that much
Think it is sometimes bad reading about issues

No it doesn't come with a pouch at least mine didn't

Personally i found the one x to have a MUCH better battery than the G Nexus, even with AOKP and Franco Kernels but hey....
1% drain over 8 hours idle.... My G Nexus couldnt manage that in a million years...

Thanks all
any regrets at all going to the one? All the stories of issues is making me wary
Might head to carphone warehouse at lunch time!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

My Galaxy Nexus would drain 1-3% over night and last 2 days by average, One X currently drains much more, but lets wait for an update.
Apart from battery, there is no way I would go back to G Nexus. Just do screen comparison side by side and that's it
One X is faster, plays movies faster (it starts playing instantly), audio quality sounds the same to me, I tend to listen to musing for 6 hours a day by average.
WiFi is working as expected, not slower, not faster, no problems with 5GHz network.
One X is slimmer and fits in the same belt case I was using with G Nexus.
It took me just few hours with One X to know I'm keeping it, selling G Nexus in few days, it's powered off, I won't use it anymore.
Overall One X seems like huge improvement over G Nexus.

It is awesome can't see any yellow on the white boot screen and display is easy better than the nexus IMO, don't have the sim yet need to cut it when I get home
Nexus is acting as wireless hotspot so I can set it up lol
Got to love Android and I'm no fan boy as I have had the rest, and I do mean them all

Keep us posted how you like the One X over the Galaxy Nexus ? I am thinking about possibly buying one.

I was doing the same. I did cut my SIM but it was not compatible, it had too big contacts. If the metal part looks like a globe then you might have problems. Hopefully cut SIM worked in GNexus in an adapter, but didn't work in One X.
Went to O2 store and got replacement, can't get any easier that that, took literally 1 minute to get it.
Anyway, was using GNexus as hotspot for entire day before that sim replacement.
Now GNexus is bagged and there is no way I would go back to it. One X is that great.
Stuff I don't like about One X compared to Nexus: hardware button placements. Buttons should be in exact same positions as on G Nexus. I keep pressing Vol accidentally when plugging in usb cable. Power on top always requires me to reach out with second hand. Nexus had the buttons laid out perfectly.

Hi Zorachus
Vodafone UK sim cut and installed ok, no problems there though it looked close
So far I love it as the screen doesn't have that amoled grubbyness on some colours esp grey.
I don't know if there is some uneven areas but you can find faults on anything if you look hard enough lol
Only one charge 18 hours on battery WiFi on, 1 hour 40 on screen, 60% batttery left
Seen a couple of what was like screen brightness flickers but went away, it was very subtle and I didn't have auto brightness on, weird!
Have grey one and so far very pleased and I prefer the button layout as it is, I'm old school I guess
Bought from carphone warehouse and they have a 14 day return policy should something go wrong, the guy in the shop said they sell out pretty quick and had had no returns
Any questions let me know
Thanks

[INFO] LTE Nexus Rattle Sound

Just wanted to tell you guys that if your phone has a rattling sound anywhere (the volume rocker or the camera) just take it to a Verizon store and tell them that it rattles and they replace it...no questions asked (at least for me)
It was driving me crazy and now the new one doesn't so just want to let you guys know.

Its supposed to rattle, something in the camera that causes this.

Volume rocker is a little loose.
Doesn't bother me.

[Q] Loose IR Blaster

Does anyone else's IR blaster rattle and feel loose? When I tap mine it rattles and I was curious if you guys can check your so I know if it's common or not. Thanks

same with mine.

No rattle here.

Mine is tight, with no rattling.

Think it's something I should return and swap for a new one?

I've got rattle here

Nah I got a tiny rattle too.
It's just a tolerance clearance. It's better a tiny bit under instead of being in compression and over.

I did not. Ended up just keeping it as I figured I had a 50% chance of continually getting one with a rattle.
