Specific car mounts / desk top chargers - OnePlus 5 Accessories

Hi, seen a few posts of people modding cases, does this mean the brodit op3 active car charger will work or are any desk top stands specifically for 3 and 3t compatible please?

I've seen people 3d print specific desk mounts for devices before. Might be something to look into if there is a 3d printer place near you or if you own one? They looked awesome!

I'm wondering about this too - specifically the brodit active car holders. Have the dimensions changed at all with regards to charging in a cradle?

I've been using the kidigi desktop charger that I was using with my OnePlus 3. It was about $30 in Amazon, works fine in my 5 with a OnePlus 3 spigen case. The only mods to the case were for the camera , the charging port is ok.
For the truck I have a ram mount x-grip, and a usb C cable, I don't need the dash charger as my drive is usually pretty long.

ideal car holder/fitting method for touch hd?

I love using my hd to watch movies hooked up to aux input in my car,
I got one of these of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CAR-CHARG....c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50
its already snapped!
I want something that allows you switch between horizontal/vertical and tilt funtion for tomtom and core player
I may try velcro stickers or maybe an air vent holder
any other ideas?
I have had 2 of these..they are absolutely rubbish, the insertion clip snapped both times. I have also tried another holder (universal one) and that turned out to rubbish too, I threw it away. Another time the suction disc came away from the arm. I have also tried my own custom made holder - I took a leather phone case and screwed it into the back of the arm attachment, that worked much better than the worthless gadgets of ebay. So save your money and forget buying from ebay, it maybe worth spending a bit more for a better quality item. And just yesterday I found my my xda orbit holder provided by O2 so using that for now which fits the Touch HD very well.
My side I buy that for my car Car Windshield Swivel Mount Dock for HTC Touch HD. At 5.60$ nobody can make better!
Work like a charm!

I had a universal jobby off ebay, that was a bit rubbish since where it clamped onto the phone it obscured the volume control buttons.
Ordered one of the HD specific designed ones and will see how that goes.

Brodit holder + charger
I have recently installed a holder and charger for my Touch HD and can highly recommend it!!
http://www.brodit.com/
The installation was somewhat easy, had to open the dashboard to connect it to power behind the stereo.
Pro Clip makes some amazing solutions. I have used them for years on numerous devices.

Goes pretty fast. Haven't done any comparison, but I can't complain. I normally drive 45 minutes to work and twice a day charging is fine for me.

I like the look of the solid mount to the screen, but the holder looks a bit busy.
How have you found it?
Paul.
I got my own here www.mobilefun.co.uk
In this page you can find just about everything you need for your touch hd or any other phone... Bad thing deliveries are done only within the EU countries
The link for the holder i personally purchased and i'm 100% satisfied is here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-touch-hd-car-holder-p19992.htm
If you are looking for something a lot cheaper that goes with a car charger in the pack you can look here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/drivesafe-car-pack-for-the-htc-touch-hd-p20932.htm (only difference with the first one is a little more stiff on adjusting method) but its still perfect and safe & both are really easy to adjust horizontally and vertically the phone & they are both built for windshields which means you can video type your driving
I suggest it without second thoughts!

Got the same one. Pricey but oh so worth it. I love it,and would def recommend it. I've tried the suction ones, and they for some reason keep falling off the windscreen, even with cleaning the surface/drying it etc.
The brodit just clips into your dash, and fit your touch hd perfect. They make mounts for every car.
I love it!!!
And it charges at a normal rate, just like a standard wall charger.
I have this one and it's excellent..
Brodit holder question
I have a cheap universal effort I bought from some motorway services - Im looking for a better solution - im using airvent attachment - its a three pronged affair which clips over one of the vent "stays". Its wobbly as hell - which is fine most of the time, except when you are attaching the charging cable. Does the Brodit attach to the airvents ? if so does it attach solidly ? in a better way than my three pronged clip ??
Depending on your car and which mount you want.
For my Xantia, using the vent beside the steering wheel the mounting plate fits in around the vent, between the vent unit and the dashboard body, rather than the cheapo ones that clip feebly to the vent.
At the moment I'm using two of the suction cup ones that people have had problems with.
Superglue is your friend (no, do not superglue it to the windscreen no matter how temping that sounds!).
The internal flange which holds the silicon cup to the base of the arm breaks up causing it to regularly fall off teh windscreen, some good superglue carefully dripped in fixes this. The other problem I've had is the ends breaking where the metal snake fits in, again superglue (pull back the concertina cover) in each end sorts this.
Ok these are things that should not go wong in a good product, but when they're available for a couple of quid shipped from China, it's to be expected, and thankfully easily rectified.
Has anyone got the details of a UK supplier of Brodit?

Suggestions for a car and a desk dock?

I need a desktop dock and a car dock for my Evo 3D. Any suggestions for a good and cheap dock?
Is there a dock that you can put the phone in and it will charge the phone and also have an audio output on the dock? I don't know if this is possible but if there is one I would like to get it. That way I could connect (and leave connected) some speakers (or the car's aux input) to an audio output on the dock. So I could just drop the phone into the dock and it would charge plus the audio would already be hooked up.
If this isn't possible then I guess just a good desktop and car dock suggestion for cheap (that charge the phone) and will fit with a kickstand case.
Dunno about cheap, look around on pricing, but Kidigi do both a car dock and a desk dock (No idea about the audio bit).

I use the Seidio dock at work and at home. It doesn't have an audio out that I know of, but it works great with my case (also made by Seidio - I'm not sure if you'll have success with a non-Seidio case). If you don't have a case it will work fine, also.
Not sure about a car dock but I know there are several options out there.

Sorry bit delayed but yeah it uses the cig lighter for support pretty good, I've got a really stiff head phone jack plugged in so it pulls it a bit and made it a bit loose so rapped some tape round the joint, good for the price.

Fitting Car Dock in Germany
Hey Guys,
as I am not allowed to post in the Developer Forum yet,
which slowly get's on my nerves (but I get the reasons for it),
I finally found something to post somewhere else that is not completely meaningless.
Does anybody know where to get one of those "good" car mounts in Germany???
I am looking for something like Kidigi Car Mount Cradle CM-HE3D, iGrip perfectFit Vehicle mount or the Seidio one.
I want something with USB pass-through so I just have to put the Evo in.
Even better if the Camera is not obscured.
The Kidigi one is my favorite. Unfortunately the official reseller cjdirect.de seems not to have it yet (i will call them next week).
Only other way for me would be form the US or HongKong which I wouldn't prefer for reasons like tax, delivery time and so on.
I found it on Amazon.fr for 25 Euro but they won't deliver to Germany.
Then I found it in another French shop where they want 41 Euro because of delivery.
The Seido Innotraveler is available on amazon.co.uk für 37 Euro but I don't like the looks so much.
The iGrip I coulnd't finde at all (in Europe).
So if anyone could help me out and suggest something I would really appreciate it. Else, I guess I will call cjdirect and maybe order one from Hong Kong or France.
Nearly forgot, of course i know about the official HTC car kit but I don't like that either, and for 40 Euro I would rather pay 1 Euro more for Kidigi one or go to Hong Kong. Same with the one from Brodit. Just too expensive.
Thanks
I use this one for my HD2 but with a different mounting part. I dont know whether both cameras are uncovered. http://www.ebay.de/itm/KFZ-Halter-H...alterungen&hash=item3f0facce90#ht_2721wt_1113

Thank you. Looks good but is not quite what i was hoping for.
I don't want to handle any cables when I want to load my phone in the car.
As I could'nt find anything else either I guess I just order the Kidigi mount through ebay from Hong Kong.
Ok, as I am really interested in a good car kit, too, maybe you could share your experience here when you have received the product. I am currently preferring this one http://www.pdamax.de/Zubehoer/HTC/EVO-3D/Kfz-Kit-CU-S520-Halterung-Ladekabel,hz-620:338.html or I will just buy a new cradle and put it on my existing model but it seems the major problem with most of the kits is the cameras not having free sight.
This is the official dock by HTC and due to the camera being obscured and
the high price I decided against it.
I will report about the KiDiGi dock as soon as I receive it.
It is on it's way already but tracking with DHL doesn't work yet (if at all).
have you look at the iGrip car dock?
Yes, thes iGrip dock would have been my second choice.
It has the best reviews of all but as it didn't matter
to me if I order from HongKong or the US I chose Kidigi
for it's looks and it's price.
I also found some reviews about the Kidigi docks for the Desire (I guess), here in the xda forum.
Were quite good too.
For all who are interested, you maybe want to checkout amazon.co.uk
for the Seidio Evo 3D Innotraveler Car Dock (not allowed to post links yet)
High Price but would have been my third choice, still better than HTC one because Camera should be free.
You need credit card though, same as in France for Kidigi.
Choose wisely
Anyone used both the iGrip and HTC car dock? I'd like to know which seems more solid. The obscured cameras don't really matter to me on the HTC one because there's a 99.99% chance I won't be snapping pics while driving.
As far as desk docks, I found this. OEM FTW.

You can find articles comparing HTC and igrip docks. HTC seems more solid, less vibrations, according to them.am on my phone, you can find them through Google.
and the camera is not only for taking pictures, which shouldn't be done too frequently , but for example for navigon reality scanner.
how much vibration come purely down to what mounting solution you use, if you choose a low vibration mount or vehicle specific mount any dock can be rock solid, I have the iGrip but I do not use the included suction mount as I hate having it on the windshield, I use a dash friction pad with a different suction mount that allow me to have it sit in between the instructment panel and the GPS LCD on my RDX, if I use it in my Mazda6 I have a Proclip vehicle specific mount (VSM) and that's super rock solid. I don't know about the HTC, but the iGrip Dock use the Herbert Richter (HR) 4 prong mount system so can use any mount that support the HR system or get a adopter plate, that's what I use in my Mazda with the Proclip, screw the plate onto the VSM and off i go, and if my wife want to use a dock on for her iphone its easy to swap also.

Idea for Qi Charging Case

The magnetic charging docks are not bad. Also, the qi charging case from Sony is pretty nice. However, the best case would be a plastic case with a Qi wireless coil inside with a lead that wraps around and fits over the magnetic contact. Qi chargers like the Tylt work really well and they are so handy at home and in the car. I wear a holster so the flip cover is not necessary.

I know, that's why I asked if maybe there are some prototype floating around
I did not mean to infer that I had one of the Sony Qi charging cases. I may have purchased one had they been available. I prefer the a slim fitting tpu or hybrid case. However, none that I have found fit correctly. Sony's magnetic charging docks are great and work fast, but one has to remove his case to use them. Yet no one makes a good case that covers up the SIM/Micro USB cover and exposes the magnetic charging area. This is totally stupid. One only seldomly changes his SIM and needs access to the micro usb port, but one always needs to charge.
If Sony is not going to add a Qi charger in the phone, they should at least make some good folio and slim fit cases at a sub $50 price that can be left on while charging using the magnetic dock.
Also, charging with a car dock is a pain without Qi charging using the Z2. The buttons are all in the wrong place also and interfere with the sides of both my car docks.
It's a real shame that Sony has not made a better attempt at charging options combined with cases. The Sony Z2 is a great phone. Even better yet woukd be a removeable battery. This is the only feature that keeps me going back to Samsung.

I have been thinking about trying this. I have dismantled a magnetic charger and there are only 2 wires in there. Positive and negative. Is there anything stopping me buying a universal micro usb qi adapter and soldering the positive and negative from that onto the positive and negative of the magnetic charger and hiding it all inside a case?
That's an interesting Idea. I've thought of the same thing, though I wanted to connect to the magnetic charger contact rather than the micro USB port. I'd like to make a case with a Qi charger and FM radio antenna built in. It wouldn't take up that much space.
I hope someone at Sony is watching this thread.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I for one actually feel a bit cheated.
The did announce Qi charging capability through a case and plate and while I had to choose between the S5/M8/Z2, this was one of the element that I considered...
Now all of a sudden they decide to cancel...
Though I would much prefer a Qi charger, the magnetic chargers can be useful. I bought some cheap magnetic charging cables and cut some of the plastic off them so they would work with my phone's case on. The magnets are weak and it s a pain to get them attached but of charges quite fast.
I was hoping that the Z3 would come out of the gate with wireless charging. In a statement made a few months back, they stated they would have Qi charging by the end of this year.
Hopefully the Z4 will have it. They also need to put 32 GB of internal storage in their phones.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
If someone made a QI charging case, I'd be willing to pay for it, as long as it looked good enough!
might be worth testing out to see if the WCR14 connector and charging type works on a Z2. i can see the connector alone makes the phone look much bigger.
Why sony decided to put a magnetic charge on the side is beyond me.
Did anybody get any where with this? I am thinking about getting one of the coils on ebay for the samsungs and modifying it, they look very slimline as I suppose they are design to fit behind the battery cover?
I am planning to have it sit inside a TPU case I have. The difficult part will be the magnetic part / Soldering....etc

Ravpower Qi Car Charger Review

Hey guys!
Thought I would post a review for this Qi wireless car charger since I didn't see much info about it and help those in deciding one for their car.
I have been using this Qi wireless car charger for about 4 months. The weather here is summer now so the car interior does get super hot, and so far this charger has been working like a champ in the heat.
The charger comes with a bunch of accessories which include:
-Vent adapter holder
-Traditional suction cup stand holder for dashboards
-Micro Usb cable
-Usb car chager (1 input)
-Sticky pads for wire management
I used the suction cup on my dash since my vents in my car are not ideal for my setup. The Qi charger is made hard sturdy black plastic and the section where you place your phone is made of a softer grippy rubber that holds the Nexus 6 very well. There is button on the back that release the two arm clamps. The Nexus 6 being a big of a device I thought it would be a tight fit, but I am happy to report that there is plenty of space. I have a Caseology Case and still a bit of extra room on the dock. So for those with thicker cases than mine can still fit, but in terms of it charging through a thicker case is something I do not have to test, but for those familiar with my case which I will put a link on the bottom of this post, my phone charges perfectly fine with it. Also the Qi charging unit in this has a 3 coil system so placement is not an issue and wireless charging is maximized and efficient as possible. There is a LED light on the bottom that indicates if it idle or charging, Green means idle and Blue means charging. The cradle of the charger is very sturdy and holds the Nexus with ease, have not had it drop my phone (yet) and hopefully stays that way. I use the charger everyday for the past 4 months and yet to encounter an issue, remember I am using it 95 degree weather for the past 4 months and it has not died on me yet. Once winter comes I will update on how it handles the cold, hopefully like a champ as it does in the summer! I attached some pictures for everyone to have a better look at it. Overall I am very happy with this charger and highly recommended!
Any questions about this product let me know and I will try my best to answer and help!

Can you try in front window and let us know how it works? When I get my phone it's going to be a window mount and since I'll have to use an OTG adapter for long distance that means I'll have to use wireless charging.

If you mean having the suction cup on the windows then yes it works even better cause the surface on the glass gives it an even better grip.

Car holster/Qi charger?

When I got my LG G3 and bought the Qi charging backplate for it, I immediately bought this charging mount for my car. With the LG, it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the coils in the charger are too low for the Turbo 2 to get a charge (even though the charger itself lights up as if the phone is charging, I'm still experiencing battery drain, and the phone doesn't believe it's charging). If I put the phone in upside down, the phone charges, but then the arms of the holster are pressed against the side buttons.
Anyone have a better car Qi charging solution for the Turbo?

How far out does the arm extend? The Choetech came straight up from the suction cup base, and I have to reach forward a bit to reach the phone - enough so that it feels dangerous while driving on the highway.
I did manage to get the Choetech to start charging the phone by positioning the phone a little higher than normal in the holster, then moving it down, but if the iOttie charges easily from the default position I might consider that if I get some Amazon gift cards this year.

It extends for about 1.5 inches, far enough to be where I want it to be at. The lower supporting fork is adjustable. It can move up and down. So I was able to align wireless charging logo of the phone with the coils of the holder. Now I don't have to worry about the position of the phone when it is in the holder. I have two of them, for my wife and myself. And we are both satisfied. There are some videos on that Amazon page about this product. You can check them out.

Thanks for describing this -- I had been concerned about getting something like this precisely because I was worried about positioning so that 1) the coils would line up with the phone's charging "sweet spot" and 2) the side buttons wouldn't be blocked. Have the bottom support adjustable addresses that beautifully.

Likewise. Also, the arm extending out slightly puts the phone closer to me, and on my car that would make it as close as the vent clip on the Choetech was.

This is my first phone with wireless charging.
Could someone let me know why QI charging in a car would be preferable to cradle with a built in charger.
I have been using Pro Clip car docks for the last 5 years (3 phones and 2 SUVs) and am happy with them.
I disassembled the USB charger portion of my dock for my old Note3 while I wait for my backordered DT2 cradle to come.
If Qi is better I can cancel my order and get something different.
I see no drain while running Waze and listening to Audio Books though bluetooth. Additionally I mount an NFC tag on there to activate phone actions when I dock my phone.
The charger is hard wired to my car and the mounting system has been rock solid and allows for my Amateur Radio faceplate to be mounted within easy reach right below the phone dock.
On the other hand, the drop in dock doesn't work with a case but they do have other options for universal mounts.

After reading this thread weeks ago, I got this car mount. It is excellent. Works flawlessly and I love not having to connect a cord every time I get in the truck. The push on and one touch release is smooth too.
I was hoping to move from my old window mount spot to the center console but the gap wasn't wide enough for the extra dash mount pad. It is just barely wide enough for the regular suction mount but it doesn't form a complete seal and fell when I tried it. Still the window mount has worked for me for years and this mount comes out a little further than my old bionic mount so that's a big plus.
