moto 360 sport actual replacement band - Moto 360 2015

https://www.manythings.online/moret...tant-and-deodorant-blue-strap-blue-B01M19P8QD
As shady as this looks, I can't believe I've never seen this or heard mention of it on the forums. This is an ingenious idea. An actual way to replace the band should I break. Has anyone else seen this?

This is for first gen

The button (crown) cut-out is in the wrong position.

The picture is of a sport, but it's listed for a first gen

Saw this band on Amazon -- I don't think it will fit on the 360 sport.

Well someone could make some serious bank on this if they would make a sport version; there's no telling how many times I've seen a broken band

Has anyone tried this, or any other sealant solution on their ripped watch? A friend's dog just got to mine...

Sil-poxy can glue silicone to silicone, which is a hard thing to do for glue. Might be worth trying on the moto 360 sport!

Hello moto 360 sport owners,
I found a moto 360 sport housing at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2641237 .
I have cut the band and modified the 3d model. My version can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2858248.
I don't own a 3d printer so I used an external internet 3d printer service (just google for 3d printer service). I have paid about 23€ (including tax and shipping).

This is great!
What holds it in there? I imagine it's mostly relying on the fact that it's strapped to your wrist.
Doesn't cutting the original band mess with it's GPS? Not that the GPS was worth anything, haha.

As you already guessed, the smartwatch is strapped to the wrist with the 3d printed housing. I thought about designing a small area at the bottom of the housing so you can clip the smartwatch in. But I'm not sure if it would break very easily.
With the GPS I don't recognize any problems. The hotfix is quite fast and I get about 6-7 satellites. Unfortunately I didn't check the satellites befor the modification so I don't know if it has really no effect at all.

Found another way
I instead glued on new lugs with some success. Check it out here if you are interested: XDA Moto 360 sport install lugs

What sold you on the Folio?

I'm looking for a Tegra-2 based 10-inch tablet running Android 2.2 and one that has XDA support. I looked at the Viewsonic G Tablet and the Malata Z-Pad. the Toshiba seems to be the mainstream equivalent so I'm wondering if I should spend the extra money and get a "name-brand" tablet like the Folio.
I'm just curious as to what sold you on the Folio versus what else is available on the market?
TIA,
Chris R.
Its tegra 2 is cheap and with the latest mod is fast as hell

FolioMod sold it to me. Tegra 2 as a good second bet. Too bad the viewing angles are absolutely horrid on this. Otherwise a very potent package.

I noticed that when you turn the folio upside down, the viewing angles are a lot better (especially when watching movies in your bed)
I just adjust my stand according to the angle i'm viewing it from. I use a GorillaPod stand as a temporary solution, very easy to customize.

The LCD is not so bad, it's bright and vivid enough. Of course the view angle is aweful, but you will get use to it! After all is tablet and is supposed to seat close to you in your hands- If you forget some small issues is quite a good deal. Sad thing is that Toshiba support is a joke!

OT: Yes, it's almost starts me thinking if Toshiba just failed (again) with the assembling of this device.
I constantly uses it "upside down" now since the viewing angle is better.
The price, hw spec (tegra2) and foliomod was what got me to buy it. If I didn't know about dexters (and others) work on this piece I would probably never bought it, especially after all the bad press it was getting after getting pulled from the stores.
But I just can't stop liking it.

LOL, same here.
I knew the Folio wasn't perfect when I bought it, but I also knew it had potential.
I'm quit happy but I feel for those who bought the device and never heard of XDA, stuck on a market that fits on there device entirely.

Legos + a little time = Great car mount!

I really wanted to have a nice car mount for the tablet.....So I took out my old Lego Technic blocks and came up with this... I did super glue 4 of the pegs in back that supports the mount onto the car but other than that its all legos holding legos. The post that the whole mount is slipped on top of is and old 7" screen mount I use to have in my car....I think the 10" screen looks better than the 7" ever did!

Pretty cool setup. What program/app is that in your third PIC?
The apps called torque its a obd2 engine ecu reader. You have to but a bluetooth obd2 scanner dongle that plugs into your car, i paid $20 shipped for mine off ebay
Purdy sweet. Did you have to glue the pieces or are they pretty secure without some type of adhesive?
Never mind I guess if I read the post instead of look at the pics I would have answered my own question. duh....
Haha thanks! Its defiantly cheap to make and it also can double as a stand for the gtab when its not in the car as well. The only thing I need to change is to lower the holders on the sides just a bit so I can get to the back button on the right side.

Here's the one I bought. But there are a bunch of diffent ones. Glad you guys like the mount.
Very slick!
If you're running a bluetooth GPS at the same time for navigation, then this is, hands-down, the Ultimate Homebrew Car Gizmo!
See I use the tablet for car info and to run Pandora and than I have my htc inspire in the gauge cluster doing the nav and being a wifi hotspot for the g tab.
Just realized that your gtab has Manchester for the city in the weather app which is where I live. Small world.

Thanks everyone! It took some time to plan out how to have it hold its self together with out using glue. I will post up my final version of it. After moving around some pieces to gain access to the back button.

[Q] Samsung Infuse Car Dock and the Optimus G

I know this seems odd, but does anyone here have an old Samsung Infuse car dock that they could test and see if the Optimus G will work in? According to the dimensions, the Optimus G is in between the Infuse and the Galaxy S III. The GS3 fits into the Infuse car dock, so I bet the Optimus G will fit. If so that would be awesome since the Infuse car dock is dirt cheap.
Also, I noticed the Optimus G floor model at AT&T came pre-loaded with the Car Home app. So maybe they are working on an OEM car dock anyways.
Thanks
Shawn
I'd like to know as well; it actually might work with a case based upon the thickness specs.
I'll let you know, I ordered one for 5$.

Cool, thanks!
My optimus came in today and I was able to modify the car dock to make the optimus g fit. It took a good amount of dremilling to make it fit and isn't the prettiest job, but it works and the usb lines up and charges the phone.

As you can see I did a hack-job on this.... I think I need some better/different dremel attachments.
But, this shows that it is possible to get the Samsung Infuse car dock for next to nothing and you can make it work.
By the way, the extra hole in the dock was for the speaker on a SGS3.
Thanks for posting this.
Where did you get the dock for cheap?
Does the aux out function from the dock work with the optimus?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
It looks like you got it to fit without a case. Do you think there is enough material in the dock to take more out to get it to fit with something like the BodyGlove case?
Update:
Found a Infuse case at an AT&T store. Paid 5 bucks for it. The phone will fit the case if you take a pair of pliers and bend the corners back a bit. I find it works best to bend the corners close to the charging base more than the corners on the other side.
Also, there is no audio out from the mount. You have to plug the aux cable into the phone to get it to work.

I don't think this will work with any case. There really is not a whole lot of wiggle room, and the micro-usb part of the dock that slides into the phone has to align perfectly.

Ok your going to LOVE LOVE this
i have no idea why and how this is so cheap

They have it in a few other colours so iv ordered a few more tonight so i can leave the stand in different parts of my home

I use a Flygrip. It works as a horizontal and vertical stand and keeps me from dropping the phone. I having been using one since my Note 2 and always the first accessory I buy.
I use a plastic business card holder on my nightstand. Cheap and simple. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E6EWVW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iapCub1KJB7Y8

or if you like bigger one
you can search on AMAZON for MINIMAL PHONE STAND
I bought this Anker Stand from Amazon a couple of years ago and have used it for 3 different phones and 4 different tablets. Still works great, and the ability to change the angle is a really nice bonus.

any of you cats opt for the (for lack of a better term) "chiseled" bezel? i see how it looks on the moto site but real world images would be choice.
also, any wacky designs (gold bezel with black stainless or somesuch?)?

The design bezel is called knurl and it looks just like it does in the website pictures. As can be seen in my pictures one post above.

Could you disclose your wrist circumference?
I betted that this is a 46mm watch, but in that case it just looks like that on your wrist.
Mine is about 17,5-18cm
Don't know yet if 42 or 46mm would be better.

Mines just turned up - Will be having a play later tonight
Received it yesterday, lovely thing! It's the default 46mm version because it's the only available option in my country. Though it's probably the one I would have picked anyways.
another plus side is that it is exactly the same size as my old fossil watch (which is a pretty common model in europe) in width and thickness:
Got mine last Thursday. 42 mm men's version. I like it, not too big and looks like a normal watch. I've had it freeze on me a couple of times, but I think it can be fixed with software update.
Leather & leather!
