VZW car mount for incredible

It's amazing! Best custom mount I've owned. And the clip that holds the phone is also a removable belt clip. There's a punch out for the camera, been driving around with layar turned on. It is win.

Is it any different than this one?

AFAIK, this is the only custom mount of ANY KIND for the Incredible produced by HTC, which drives me crazy.

There are two versions available from the Verizon store. The one you linked to and one other. They both have one big issue. If you already have a protector for your phone that you like, it will not work unless you take your protector off. The one you linked to has one other issue, it uses double sided tape to mount. The other one I looked at had a suction mount, but as I said, it will not let you put your phone on it unless you remove any protector you are using.

the one linked is the one i'm talking about. i haven't found it on the VZW website anywhere, didn't think to look anywhere else. i don't use a case or anything full time, i ordered an otterbox for when i'm working to wear on my belt, but when i'm not i just throw the phone in my pocket and run. i wish seidio came out with a car mount like this that worked with one of their cases, that would be epic. i'm sure with a dremel tool you could make it work if you were so inclined.

I have this one
I bought this with my incredible when I first got it. before 30 days was up the clip broke. I took it back and got it replaced. Then a couple of weeks later the new one broke in a different place. I hadn't even taken the new one off the car mount and worn it on my belt. I ended up cutting off the clip and gluing the clip to the mount so that it became a car mount only.

where did it break?
i'm wondering if there's a way i can use another company's clip and case without having to remove it. thinking of getting the seidio innocase and clip or something like that, maybe just cut the little tab off of the car mount clip and using that on whatever one i end up getting.

I don't want or use the belt clip, just adds another point of movement to the system. There's no happy medium with adjustments, you either get it where you want it and tighten it down to no flexibility, or it is way too loose. Due to the way the suction cup is engineered, the act of placing the phone or removing it from the clip torques the suction, causing it to fall off all the time. Was not at all impressed.

I have this mount I just pictured. I find it reliable. I do not use the belt clip.. I always leave that on the mount.
I have never used phone cases on any of my cell phones for 12 yrs.. I only have a screen protector..
Dinc goes in my phone pocket. My designated pocket only for my phone.. Not change or car keys..

Carefull
I have one of these.. or I should say I've had 2 of these. First one broke after about 8 seconds of being up and I tried to rotate the phone, and the hing that holds the clip on snapped.
Took it back to Verizon they swapped it out... had the second one a month or so and went to remove the phone and clip from the stand... and the plastic washer that holds the clip to the mount broke.... I now have it zip tied and it works great.
I was not rough with it, its just very fragile. Otherwise a good mount.

I've had 2 and the first one broke within a week. The clip that hooks into the mount broke and wouldn't mount. The second one I had for a few days before it broke. The one the hinge went. I didn't bother trying to replace it again. They did swap it out, but if two break that quickly, I figure I'll just keep having the same problems.....

Add me to the "it's too darn fragile" camp. I ended up buying a third-party "one size fits all" type... They lie too, but it works. I just have to adjust it so the volume key isn't being squashed. (also, no cut out for camera)

2 broken clips at hinge and counting.
Same here, my clip hinge broke both times. I just have it sitting there in the car driving down the road and the phone just falls off and the hinge is broken. I think the plastic is too thin, should be a metal part, and the spring tension always on it fatigues it. Bad design.

I went to verizon and told them I wanted their generic mount and they handed me this:
http://www.amazon.com/Bracketron-PH...r_1_41?s=STORE&ie=UTF8&qid=1285511830&sr=8-41
The one Verizon actually sells is slightly different as the little bottom nodes that hold the phone phone sits on can be bent in and thus you can move the phone around. I will have to take a picture of mine. Anyways even with a case it fits perfectly and its only like $20 and if you have the corporate discount which gets you 25% off it runs about $16.70 total after taxes which is what I bought it for.

So which one would you recommend? I plan on doing a lot of driving up and down I-95 to visit friends in Maine/NH/PA/MD/VA and would love having Google's "Navigator" mounted on my windshield instead of having it sitting in a cup holder (like I do now). I'll be careful with any mount I get, but those universal mounts are just too bulky and a lot of them mess with the volume controls or doesn't leave me a space to plug the phone into my lighter outlet (or have weird mounting points, like in one of the air vents).

I really recommend the Verizon one made for the incredible. all buttons and ports are accessible on the incredible
Like I said, I leave the belt clip mounted at all times, and the only protection I use for my phone is my special pocket and a screen protector.

I just bought it on a whim today and it is definitely great. Way better than the staples generic one that broke in the first 2 weeks

Wife and I both have one. Both broke right away. Replacements also broke. Always in the same place, the hinge for the clip snaps. The spring is simply way too powerful for the strength of the plastic. On the replacements I just slathered epoxy all over the hinge to make it a permanent mount. Neither one of us were using it for anything other than the car dock, but the thing just breaks like a cheap wine glass.
So in my experience they were 4/4 for breaking within 3 weeks. It's a great dock, but you just have to expect it to break unless you do what I did and glue the living crap out of it.

ive had my verizon mount for about 2 weeks now, my only complaint is that it has a removable belt clip. Ive tried different locations around my windshield and since I play with it so much, the clip has wiggled loose a time or two. other than that, its been better than any mounts ive tried to hack together for it.
TL;DR good mount, bit pricey

Micro SDHC card holder- 10 slots + 1 standard SD

sdcardolder.com Has the coolest MicroSDHC card holders for around $7USD. the size of a credit card, it can hold 10 MicroSD cards and a SD to micro adapter. Multiple colors and even a hole for a keycain/lanyard. Now that Dalingrin has the video working so slick on CM7 this could be a helpful item for juggling cards for video.

This is a very interesting design. Right now i have 3-4 micros in their own cases with adapters in my back pack. The design worry's me, how well does it hold the cards id be afraid they would fall out.

I'm with the previous poster. Looks like it would be too easy to have a card slip right out on accident. Otherwise, I'm always looking for a better way to hold my cards than the 4 different boxes I already use.

the site mentions that center tab on each slot...think it is supposed to act as the retention mechanism.

ya i saw that, but im still a bit weary. if you buy it let me know. if it holds them well, and does not feel like it will get loose with age i might be game to buy it.

Yeah..gonna buy a few cards and one of these soon...got the call to go back to work Monday...yay money!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to keep track of my growing supply of uSD cards. I can attest that it's very handy and size-efficient.
I can understand the concerns that the cards may fall out, but the center-tab latching mechanism seems pretty secure, as it is reinforced on the underside. I actually bought 2 other models (one to hold multiple SIMs and one to hold multiple full-sized SDs). They all work as expected and I'm pleased with the purchases.
Other than this model, I haven't seen anything which holds a large # of uSD cards in a small space.
Cheers

any chance you can post a pic?

When I said that it was reinforced underneath, I misspoke. They do seem to be more than adequately rigid, given that they don't need to travel far to release the cards.
As requested, here are some pictures of the retention mechanism.

I just bought one of these at amazon, with the intention of sticking some velcro on it and attaching it to my B&N Industriell Easel.

Looking forward to more feedback. It looks like either of the 2 posts would help as far as storage is concerned but I am also having trouble keeping my cards straight. I have the NC and 2 android phones.

I ended up picking up this reader/holder, and I expect it will remain sufficient for my needs for some time to come. In addition to the 2 uSD, 1 SIM and 1 M2 storage slots (all cards I currently use, though only one of each and usually in their respective devices), 1 more of any of the above can be stored in the reader slot.
I hadn't considered it when I ordered, but the reader is slim enough to slip in the cover flap of my NC case, which I had thought impractical for anything but a wiping cloth or a few sheets of paper. In a lot of cases, it would fit neatly in the ID pocket (fits mine, too, but makes the cover bulge there when closed).
About the only con I see is that they probably could have made it smaller still--I suspect the center 1/4-1/3 of the width is wasted space inserted for that credit card form factor.

Did you order directly from the company or via their store at Amazon?
I think I will order the SIM card holder. They have a buy 3 get 4 promo via Amazon. It would be overkill to buy the SIM Card Holder, SD card holder and the micro SD cardholder. What would I do with a fourth card holder?

It works fine for me... I'm thinking of how to best slap it on my case, at present. I think I'm going to sew some magnets into a fabric pockect, and just use the magnetic stick in the case to tether it in place. As to keeping track, maybe a bit of paint on the cards? Be it nail polish, poster, marker, etc? Keep them color coded and easily sorted .

Hi all, the best part of this holder is it is designed to fit right in the pelican (!) ( secure digital case which makes it not only secure, but also waterproof, and if I do say so, very cool. I bought mine from amazon.

SD Slot Broke :(

The card will fit in and click, but whatever part that is suppose to catch it and lock it in until you push it in again doesn't catch anymore. Anyone have any ideas?

Warranty claim? This particular problem might make it trickier to flash back to stock if you've made modifications, but that sounds like a physical defect to me. It might be worth a warranty claim even if you can't get it back to stock--they don't need to power the device on to confirm something like that.

If you are not in the US and it's costly to ship your NC back, I had the same problem too and found a solution for it.
First, you will need to open up your NC to remove the back cover, once you do that you will be able to remove the card which is not ejecting.
Next, you can close your cover back.
Lastly, for all uSD cards you are going to insert in, stick get some good sticker (plastic type which are not too thick would be good). Stick about 4mm of the uSD card non-contact area and leave about 3mm outside.
All you need is to tug lightly at the protruding sticker to remove your uSD cards. I found a whole bunch of these stickers so I use them for all the uSD cards which are used with my NC. Works well enough.

I had the impression the problem was cards not staying in, rather than cards not coming out. I could be mistaken.

Same impression I got. Warranty claim it, it's not worth keeping a defective device.

[Q] HTC One: Sim stuck in Sim Tray

Hi All
My friend has used a sim adapter within the sim tray (he had a nano sim from having used in an iPhone 5). He cannot now remove the sim tray, comes out a couple of mm and gets stuck.
The phone has been sent to HTC UK for repair and they are quoting him £200 (!) to fix. He's asked them to return without fixing.
Any ideas on how a DIY repair may be carried out? I'm wondering if removing the top and bottom speaker grills, afters applying some heat, will allow access to screws to allow the screen etc. to be removed?
Any advice appreciated!

He did use quite a lot of force to try to pull the tray out, but it seems to be catching something on the inside. I think if we try what you suggest we'll send up with with 2 pieces, with one stuck inside.

if you remove the screen etc i doubt youll ever get it back on. its probably just the adapter which is misplaced and preventing the tray to come out, try wiggling the phone about and trying to pull and push at the same time. be prepared to order another adapter and maybe another sim card too

Seems like the nano SIM has fallen out of the adapter?
Get some fuse wire, one pack will have varying gauges of wire, make a loop with the wire, shove it in the slot, shuggle it about.
Good luck!

Take it to a local phone repair shop and see what they'd charge.

I suggest not forcing it off. Look at the ifixit disassembly force pulling it might lead the plastic injected mold to break and you wouldn't want that to happen.

Damn! Sim has fallen out the adapter for sure. And if that's the case then your friend is probably screwed. Since the sim probably came off the adapter, the adapter might now be stuck on the pins that read the sim card.
Same thing happened to my friends sgs2 which I'm about to fix soon. The only way I was able to remove the sim was by prying it out. That resulted in one of the pins to break off and now it doesn't read the sim.
See the picture below for reference. You can see the 3 gold pins on the left side of the sim tray exposed. There are also 3 more under that metal piece to the right, which is the actual tray. You can see there's 4 holes where you can see 2 gold pins showing through and one is missing. There supposed to be 6 pins total. 3 on the left and 3 on the right. That's the one pin that got stuck on the sim adapter. I'm afraid this is probably the same problem you have.
I suggest your friend sents it back to htc and let them take it out. They will have to open up the device to do so.

This happened to me with the One. Use a super thin razor blade (the kind that you use on the old school razors), stick it in through the side, and pry toward the side that it's supposed to be installed. Do the top and bottom little by little. Eventually it will come out enough to grab with a pair of small needle nose pliers.

This is on the right track. I have used plastic lamination that I cut, paper, cardboard, a piece of tape folded over so it's not sticky. Something that will bend and allow you to slide in between the sim card and the pins or whatever is holding it. You can then wiggle the tray out and then shake the nano card out. I have done this before it can take hours of playing with it. Finding the right object that you can slide in there is key. Also look for any pictures you can find of a teardown to give you an idea of what is holding it and where you need to slide something in to free it. The key is patience do not force anything or something will break. It will be long and tedious this I promise.
Does that make sense?

Try an auto feeler gauge set from Halfords for a selection of shim thicknesses, then trial and error.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Currently waiting for HTC to return the phone (for a £25 charge due to not proceeding with a repair). Once back will try to put into action what has been suggested.
Thanks again,

Yeah i had a similar experience with sim adaptors. Don't use them. (as you found out they just get stuck). I would take a really thin blade or something and push up on the sim tray (you said that it comes out a bit) .Thats how i freed my sim on another phone.
PS: DONT remove the speaker grills. This phone is pretty much impossible to put back together once you take it apart.

Just want to chime in and said that I bought the noosy nano sim adapter off of Amazon and my sim tray got stuck as well. The tray was only stuck when there was no nano sim in the adapter. When I placed the microsim adapter with the nano sim it worked perfectly, for me at least. I wanted to keep the micro sim adapter in the tray because I was afraid of losing it.

Could you post how you got the tray out with the adapter in? I have the same adapter and can't seem to get it. THANKS!!!!

I ejected the sim tray as far as I can then slid some very thin lamination into both sides of the tray then prayed and pulled. Did this with and without the nano sim in the adaptor and realized that it was the micro adaptor without the nano sim. Busy of luck buddy.

I actually finally got it just as I was about to give up! I used a blade from a straight razor. The pins that contact the nano sim are what got stuck. For future reference you have to push it in fairly hard on the side of the tray towards the back of the phone. and if like me you are using something narrower than the tray, it has to be closest to the top of the phone.
The pins that are sticking are on the back top of the adapter. It seems the pins are straight so they snag when they are in the opening of the sim adapter.

Haha congrats.I was a little frantic first but finally got it as well. As long as you don't scratch it up any thin item probably works.

So getting a micro SIM from your carrier(free) and not damaging your $600 phone trying to use a nano SIM would be the best solution.

My SIM tray is jammed. I got this ugly thing over 2 weeks back and feel like hell. I tried removing my SIM card check for data service in my other SIM but it didn't came out. I tried quite hard till my fingers started paining. I tried with a paper clip. My SIM is working fine without any issues but next month I will be travelling to India and hence will be required to change my SIM. I read about this a lot and seems like there is no repair for HTC ONE. Can you guys please guide me over this ... :crying::crying::crying:

Problems inserting sd card

Hi, I've just bought a new micro sd card, but i'm having quite a bit of trouble fitting it.
Inside the slot, it looks like there is something already in there, possibly one of those dummy cards they put in there sometimes. However, its really quite far in and isn't accessible with my fingers (I've had a my girlfriend try with her tiny hands too). It also looks like the metal that makes up the shape of the port is bent
I've attached a picture, and i'm posting a video to youtube in the hop its easier to see what i mean on there
Anyone get any idea if thats how it's meant to look? Was there a dummy card in there when you first opened your port?

Ok, apparently i can't link to a video until i've done 10 posts
