Lost stylus can anyone tell me a compatible replacement??

I have this link here to a store (which I truly dislike BTW but they're fairly close) and they have sytlus' (stylii maybe?) for sale. I just bought my blue angel on ebay and I didn't see that it did not come with the stylus. I've been using a pen-style stylus now and it works but for those quick times I just want to pull it out of the case and go. Can anyone tell me if another brands stylus would fit to their knowledge? One from a Palm or HP PDA perhaps? here's the link if anyone knows. I also thought about contacting Cingular directly because it is a Cingular branded phone. Anyone know if they've had any luck with that? Thank you very much in advance.

It's not the money I see them online a lot I just didn't want to have to wait a week. I was looking for something more local. But thanks for the link

Ah... I don't know of any that would work.
I am sure there has to be a few that do, but don't know of any.
You could always buy it then return it if it didn't work.

Well I picked up some for the HP 1900 that looked pretty close but this package is sealed up TIGHT so I don't want to open it and then have the wrong ones. I think I'm just going to ebay it and wait the couple of days for it to get to me.

Car Holder/Dock

Hi all,
Anyone com across a Car holder for the Desire with a charge dock built into it? Have searched eBay but some across nowt!
Cheers,
Theloother

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199788 Is the official One and will be released Soon

Go to http://www.brodit.com, select English and then search for 'Desire' (top left).
Lots of suppliers, but I'd reccomend www.mobilefun.co.uk

NaviPane
Attach the HTC Desire Car Upgrade Kit and your device automatically activates the "NaviPanel" interface that provides quick access to all the essential phone features while driving.

As far as I'm aware we don't have NaviPanel installed by default - could this be packaged with Froyo possibly?
It's a bit of a leap of logic, but it seems significant that they're choosing 22nd July to launch this when the Froyo rumours seem to be pointing towards the next fortnight. Why else would they wait so long to get a product like this out?
EDIT:
If your Desire is not unlocked and it's from any particular operators, then the phone might not come with NaviPanel' software.

I've just order this one from DealExtreme as a test. I'll let you know if it's any good.
I'm not allowed to link, so here's the broken version:
ht tp://ww w.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37770

Cheers to all for the replies, the HTC one is the same price as the bloody phone Looks the part though.
I saw the brodit one before alright, the mounting mechanism is a bit naff though. Prefer the good ol suction jobbie on the windscreen

You have to stick a cable into your phone with that i think. Im looking for something like the brodit where you dont need to use any cable. the micro USB plug is mounted in the stand

I bought one of these from the bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260613246983
Had one from the same company for my HD and it was brilliant!
They're a little pricey, but they fit perfectly and do the job nicely!

I have two , the brodit and a cheap one from ebay that I got for travelling.
Brodit is nice but doesnt allow you to use a flexiskin on the desire. The cheap one does as it has two pressure pads at the side, and its amazing for the price. Used it for a weeks holiday abroad without any problems.

Ended up buying this:

Found it in the Accessories forum
Cheers to all for the advice!

The latest Google Maps came with a separate navigation panel, look for an icon that looks like a blue arrow pointing up. That's what will open automatically.
People need to stop reaching with the FroYo theories

And I realised it was a mistake shortly after posting it so shhhh!

[Q] Tv-out cable: Where?!?!

The question is simples, where can I buy the correct TV-OUT cable for SGS2?!
Thanks

What kind of a tv cable do you need hdmi?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S 2 using Tapatalk Pro

Search on here for MHL cable

Still can't find it CHEAP anywhere! Found a 3£ version but had no sound... Only if the sound goes through the microusb too!
Also, does the SGS1 cable works on SGS2 ?
Cheers

This is the official MHL cable

Thanks. How about audio?

Audio does go through the cable. Was there a microUSB port in the adapter for charging as well? Because I read that unless it is put on charge, it doesnt work properly. The 2 adapters in the link have microUSB slots so yours might have been missing one or maybe just some other fault.
Once the adapter is connected, it works just like any other HDMI port.

you people need to do your research, there are plenty posts on here about this, plus there is a demo on youtube, read, watch and listen, the information is out there...!

Hey stoolzo,
- Where can i buy it cheaper than original\brand price
- How is the Audio transmitted
These are doubts that i couldn't find the answer too. Sorry for cutting trees and polluting Earth =P
Thanks all for the constructive answers. I'm buying my cable now

It's alright to ask questions I feel. Even if there's already another thread open for it. Its not like anything is getting wasted

Quite correct, however what you will find is that people will get more and more reluctant to cover the same issues over and over again until people simply wont bother to answer.
Always best to read before asking, there is no excuse not to do so, simply advising there is nothing wrong with asking questions doesn't really cut it. I know the search is pretty bad but I had some of the same questions myself but found all the answers I needed by reading and watching youtube.
One search for "MHL" revealed the following below, and these are not posts mind you, these are individual threads.

Yes in that case they might not get an answer and will have to searcha nd find out themselves. But what Ive found mostly is that some sites have very irritating search engines that hardly help you out. Not saying thats the case here.

I think you've got yourself a little confused there. If you search and cannot find something then you ask, the problem only arises when people cant be bother to search and questions get asked over and over again.

I bought the official Samsung TV-Out cable from Tesco a couple of weeks ago... they'd reduced it from £20 down to £5!

HD Dock $49.99 GVA - Bestbuy

Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.

you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...

I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).

i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.

Griffin Powerdock no longer?

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the Griffin Powerdock for our phones, but it has been out of stock for months and I haven't seen any recent posts about its status. Does anyone know where I could still get one of these? I thought I saw a post or two about it being recalled due to an issue, but didn't see any real consensus on if that was true or not. Any help would be awesome!

Bump for replies

I asked Moto customer service for an ETA on the Powerdock a couple of times and got nothing. I was lucky enough to catch one for sale on Ebay.

You can buy mine off of me. I don't use it anymore as my OtterBox case prevents the phone from docking with it. I should still have the original packaging as well

I picked one up at the end of March when it was on sale. I just took a look on Moto's site and it shows in stock. Here is the link:
http://www.motorola.com/us/accessor...y-Griffin/griffin-navigation-dock-moto-x.html
It is also available on Griffin's site.
http://store.griffintechnology.com/vehicle-dock-for-moto-x
You can also find it on Amazon.

Yeah. Just realized you were talking about the Powerdock. You can try one of the ones from RND Power Solutions. I've heard good things about it. Here are links to 2 different models.

They were in stock at their normal $39.99 price, but I didn't have the spare cash last month. Now they're gone. Not out of stock. Just gone. So, I'm in the market for two (home and work).
I just ordered one off Amazon, but it was from a new seller with zero feedback. If this were Ebay, I wouldn't have bothered, but Amazon's policies are very customer friendly, so it's worth the risk to me.
If anyone else wants to part with their (gently) used dock, let me know and we'll work something out. I do NOT have a PayPal account anymore as I've divorced myself from PP/Ebay, but I can send/receive money through Venmo/Square/Google and possibly others.
