Hello
Im after a bike computer and figure that to save myself from buying a new one i could use my diamond. This leads to 2 questions.
1) Are there any decent apps out there that are decent for use as a bike computer. All i really require is speed, distance and times at various points, really!
2) More importantly, does anyone know of any phone holders that are suitable to attach to the front handlebar of a bike (and by bike i mean bicycle), remembering that it gets shaken around a fair bit and needs to be pretty secure so that it doesnt come flying off!
I came across a program called Pocket GForce which appears to be roughly what im after, has anyone used it for this purpose?
Hi,
searched for the same for a minute and then got the idea to get a quick-snappable front bag for the bike with a waterproof map-bag on it. Works out fine for me ...

2)I'm looking for something like that myself. I wouldn't be surprised if dealextreme have somthing useful.
1) GPSCyclecomputer v3 as per previous post is exactly what you are after and what I use myself for mountain biking and urban cycling.
2) I use a RAM U-Bolt system similar to the one shown here:

(Note: I've mounted mine differently to that so that it doesn't stick out so high and forward either)
It is exceptionally well built and sturdy and easy to install. The only criticism I have of mine is that I use the weatherproof case holder and it can be difficult to see the screen through the plastic cover.
I don't have the specific details of exactly which bits I opted for, where I purchased from and cost to hand but happy to dig them out if you like.
HTH
You'll find exactly what you need in Sportypal and for the holder i have this one:

although is for iPhone can be fixed for the diamond also.
Something like this:
<Had a picture here but since im a new user and no moderators decided to do what they should be doing I cant post a pic>
So how do I become "permitted"?
Was looking around for just the sat nav holder and saw a lot of these running around ebay.
Anyone brought any?
Opinions?
YO

you need to have a little more posts to be able to post links/pics.
Anyway, I bought my car windshield holder for ~4eur shipping included from a UK seller (just search for the cheapest car holder for hd2), it's got a flexible arm (I still preferred the rigid, rotable/articulated arm of my previous holder, but it's suction end was spoiled) and I have no big complaint until now, except that if you need precise positioning, doing it with flexible arm is cumbersome.
So I scheduled my pickup for my glass at venice beach office. Does anyone know if they offer parking as I know parking is difficult to find in that area.
I too am picking my glass up from Venice. I'll be there this Saturday so I will let you know if you have not already gone. If you look on street view on Google maps, across the street it looks like there is a lot, not sure about price.

thanks I appreciate it. What time are you showing up ?
My appointment is at 3 PM. Got plans before and plans after so kind of on a tight schedule. hope to have some time to talk and hang out for a bit. I'll probably be able to get back to you by 11 PM or 12 AM...
alright man. just got back from getting glass. parking is a little hard to find. but if you turn on ROSE from main street, then you should see a lot. it's $1/hr with a 2 hr max...but you probably won't need 2 hours... then it is just right across the street by the big binoculars...go to the door on the right hand side, facing the building and binoculars, and they should let you in.
it was an awesome experience and i'm happy i went to go and pick them up. they offer you drinks and walk you threw everything.
HAVE FUN
Thanks, I ended up picking mine up at 1pm that day. Parked behind google. Was lots of parking in the morning. Great experience picking up
Has anyone had an issue with their band pin bending really easy? Today I went to lift something above my head and looked at my watch and the left side band was hanging off. Upon closer inspection the left side of the pin bent down at about the 1/4" mark.
Bummer. Guess I'll be buying new ones. Not sure if they are covered under the extended warranty.
Same here. I was reaching for something under my desk at work and the band got caught on the side of the desk. Bent the pin at the quick release. Hoping I can find a pin that works. I'm probably the only guy that really likes the stock band.

I've contacted google for a replacement, as it is under warranty, waiting for them to come back to me, in the meantime, I'm using a pebble steel one, it's a standard 22mm watchband.

They are replacing it under warranty, so contact them if you ordered from the play store. (replacing the entire watch)
That's the exact same watch band I use. Very nice quality, kind of pricey. But the silver tone is almost a perfect match to the gear live. The only issue I have is how the band slides around at the top on the watch pin bar. Having the easy clip on the pin helps it from moving some... but wish it made it stay in place more.
Let me know what they tell you about the watch band. Did you contact google or samsung?

I contacted Google, they asked me for the serial number, said it was under warranty, emailed me a link to order a replacement and the UPS shipping RMA label, when I get the replacement,I ship the broken one.
They put the price of the replacement watch on hold on your credit card, it will not be charged if you return the broken in time (7 days after receiving the replacement).
Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong area to post a thread of this nature, and if it's even allowed. But I am trying to get all the help I can and thought maybe there might be a few people that live in my surrounding area that can help me and maybe know any LEO's personally that can also help. But basically long story short my friends 2017 Toyota Camry was stolen right outside my house, as we parked in the street to unload groceries and had the trunk popped open. My friend had left the car running since we were only unloading maybe 3-4 boxes of stuff. As we were walking to the door there was a Black/Dark Grey Chrysler 300 that drove by and suspiciously pulled halfway into our neighbors driveway and shut their lights off immediately. I thought nothing of it because the house they pulled into I've witnessed being drug related so I thought it was just another one of their customers. But as soon as my friend and I walked inside the house, one individual got out of the Chrysler and went to my friends Camry and basically got in the drivers side and sped off. My friend walked out as soon as he saw a man wearing a white hoodie get in his car and took off. I heard my friend from inside say "Excuse me!" and I knew something was going on and ran outside and saw them take off. The Chrysler was backing up out of my neighbors driveway and I was able to run to it and try smashing their back window out since that's the only thing I could think of doing in that moment but had no success. I had my car keys on me and ran to my garage to get in my car and had no success chasing them down. Cops were called, reports filed etc...the usual. Details were given about the Chrysler.
2 days later, my friend and I decided to drive around the surrounding areas in hopes of finding the car. To try and keep another long story short, we located the car that was on the corner of a run down ghetto convenience store called Chillies (not the restaurant) on the corner of Eddy Rd and St. Clair. For those who live in Cleveland are most likely already familiar with that area. So basically when we located the car, I turned around in a gas station and kept telling my friend to call the cops immediately. His stolen car turned out of that Chillies mart and recognized my car and took off speeding down St. Clair. I pursued after him. I lost him due to not knowing the area and he had an advantage. My dashcam captured the whole scene and where we spotted the car. They popped his plates off and the car is currently missing the front plate, and on the back they have a dealers plate which is the same one that was on the Chrysler the night it happened.
Now I keep trying to ask ask myself, how they knew my car and what it looked like when my car is stored in a garage. Which makes me believe our neighbors have something to do with it and they have seen my car parked in my driveway some nights. Granted my car is pretty recognizable as it's customized. And since my neighbors are known to deal drugs, it could've been one of their "customers" that might have been involved and have seen my car before.
I am seeking help from anybody in the surrounding Cleveland area, mainly East Cleveland and Eddy Rd/St Clair to look out for a 2017 Blue Toyota Camry. With black rims, tinted windows, and black trim all around the windows on both sides instead of the chrome. The thieves spray painted the front grill of his car black to try and disguise it more as well. So as far as we know, the car still has black rims, tinted windows, blacked out Toyota logo/grill. Missing front plate. Rear plate is a dealers plate beginning with 06 or 09. Image attached isn't his actual car but representation of what it will look like. Please excuse my crappy Microsoft Paint job and try to imagine the car with tinted windows. The car should stick out like a sore thumb with it's blue color which is why I'm hoping soon they will be caught, or have dumped the car somewhere as we know the location they were last seen at with it. Any help is greatly appreciated and a reward is definitely available for any sightings and assistance in finding the vehicle.
Google Map link to the Chillies mart we spotted the car at:
Google Maps
Stills from the dashcam footage are also attached. The last still is the closest I last was to the car because at that point he took off speeding away. As I said, reward is being offered and just thought I'd give this forum a chance as I do not use social media or the like. And I've seen a few Clevelanders on here who maybe live or drive by that area. The police already know everything and I guess now it's just the waiting game from them. But hoping to bring more eyes to the case. Thanks guys.
