Cool, thanks : )
Please can you let us know how you get on with it out and about. I've been thinking about a bike mount, but I can't make up my mind if the screen will actually be any good on the move... Home luck with it : )

I would never take my HD2 when I go biking, water + earth + fall => DAMN !

With your support the phone is not protected !
I have Otterbox for vtt and it very perfect ! Its full waterproof

By the looks of things you do some sort of extreme biking i just do mine for pleasure and fitness so the holder i've posted is more than adequate and excellent for the price. Only real problem i seem to have with it is that it covers the loudspeaker so playing music without using headphonesis a little quiet but still can be heard in a quiet/countryside enviroment.

I wouldn't buy that op mount if I was just WALKING with the device. ESPECIALLY not an HD2.
Holy **** that otterbox is crazy tho. WHOA!

voileuxcool - does the touch screen work when you open the lid? GPS signal is ok? Did you have to make any other compromises or tweaks?
Thanks

I mean looking at that thing just makes me want to go mountainbiking! And I don't have a bike!

I have used the bike holder for about three months and it's a pretty good holder in all respects as long as the holder is tightened well. The only problem I had was I leave my bike outside exposed to the elements and one day when pulling the side back to release the HD2 it snapped...... It would be nicer if I could find a metal version some where!!!

HD2 waterproof cycle case
I just got this one this week.
A lot cheaper than the awesome looking Otter, but should keep my phone safe & dry.

Do you use it with HD2 or with Desire?
Is it waterproof cause i see hole for wired headset?
Also, hole for wired headset is sideway, not on the bottom like it should be for HD2 so is it possible to use wired headset while phone is in holder?
Can you answer these questions and post some pictures also?
Thanx...

Of course it's possible. Try OziCe or RunGPS or any other tracking app.
I suggest u to try with OziCE cause u can easily find 1:25000 topo charts for Slovenia which are very good for biking...
cheers...

Just recieved it today. Can't w8 to test it!!

So who is going to try adding a front facing camera now that there is a solution?

I knew someone would figure this out. Now if there was only a reason why I needed a FFC...

can you confirm that there is a spot in the captivate for the camera? I don't see one on the captivate teardown....

Yeah, now all I need is a chat roulette app and some tissues...
But seriously if I had wanted a front camera that bad I would have got a phone with one.. Seems like a risky proposition especially when a hardware mod will devalue phone tremendously even if done well.

Doubt it... Totally different body. Vibrant even looks like an i9000 just branded.

Concerning just the physical constrains, comparing the tear down pictures of the Vibrant and the Captivate, it looks like the Vibrant has the advantage of having the molding for the FFC already there. It looks like there's no place next to the regular camera to place the FFC in the Captivate. It would be pretty cool it get this working though.

Yep, it looks like they placed the headphone jack and some plastic housing in the exact spot the FFC would go. Unless there's some tiny space between the housing and the digitizer glass I'm not seeing, you'd have to carve through the plastic housing to make room. No thanks.

wont happen without some major mod
Okay well we have been down this road many a times in this forum(myself included). And i am going to include a picture of a torn down captivate. The problem lies in the fact that the hold for the FFC is right under the mount for the main camera, where in the vibrant and i9000 they are two separate slots. It would also seem from the pictures that the boards that are controlling the camera are flipped from the i9000 and the captivate. So what we would have to do is flip the board, re-wire the circuit board under the camera from the i9000 so it dropped straight down and then maybe it would work. Here is a picture of the captivate.

check the video at about 7:20 and starting at 8:55 to get some good views of what i am talking about. If you can figure that out or anyone else then that would be awesome!

Ever thought you knew what a sausage party was. Well you haven't till you've been on chat roulette.
Little smokies!!!

If any of you have seen the PSP camera, here is an alternate idea:
Using a mini-usb (i think) to microusb adapter, hook up the PSP camera to the top of the captivate, and write a driver

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - Ponies!
Couldn't resist...
But seriously - how can all these noobs start the same thread for things that have been beaten to death?
OK, so i finally did it. It can be done, but you have to make sure you don't cover the earpiece.
But, i find this to bulky for my pocket, so I am working on a telescoping rod with a mirror as an alternative. Will post soon.

Its better to use our fingers.

but sometime i need it when my hand turns wet

bought that thing just now on amazon...... good that even one advantage..

I don't think that stylus is useful for newer phones. Since iPhone boom every application is getting more thumbs-friendly and since there are no slots for stylus on phones, it would be even more useless to carry it around in pockets and so.

that stylus works great on my another phone (htc desire). smooth,fast and useful in rain.. so just maybe our x8 has rubbish screen.. I almost broke screen when I was trying to even enter the menu..

I do not need the stylus too

Yes. I like drawing. It is not possible with my fingers. But I think the capacitive stylus it too expensive stuff. I don't have 20 € for a stylus to lose it.
If your hand is wet, you are able to do a stylus yourself. Search it on youtube! "How to capacitive stylus".
For example this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBpo7USR8I8
Or his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Fc4aFi6Ho

somehow bought stylus,case and screen stickers for 4 $ on amazon or ebay (don't remember) but thanks for interesting post will try. maybe will be more sensitive to our x8

You guys never listen about digital stylus?

Stylus
I'm using from asus p527

fingers ftw

-_-
stylus just make easy to draw, but i think it's better to draw in pc or tablet. coz using stylus for daily use is not effective.

Mini retractable stylus

I bought a mini stylus from dealextreme its a nice one with a plastic small tip.. To my surprise it doesn't work.. Kind of sucks as it was advertise for iphones/cellphones I tried it on my brothers iphone n it still doesn't work. My GF suggests I change the sensitivity to my touch screen.. Only thing I know remotely close to that is the screen calibration which to my knowledge doesn't really change squat..

You need a stylus specifically designed for capacitive touchscreens. They usually have the fat rubber tip. Look for ones that say the work with the iPhone and iPad. They will work on our Streak too.

I placed another order for a different stylus.

Hopefully this one will work. The one I had purchased has a customer review n a vid of the person using it on an android device looks like a galaxy not sure why its not working on my streak my only theory is that the pointer size is too small for the capacitive streak screen to recognize

There are some android devices out there with resistive touch screens. It may have been a vid with someone using one of those.

take a look at this customers video hes using the stylus on an android device.. N the title DX says for resistive touch screen.. So the streak isn't resistive?

Hmm so guess I just lost $2 n 3 weeks of waiting for something useless to me now =(
Gonna write a complaint to DX telling them to better clearify their ads.. But in the end I guess I'm at fault for not reading carefully. I saw the vid and thought if it worked on another droid device it was bound to work for the streak...did I ever think wrong...
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk

The streak's a capacitive touchscreen like all modern touchscreens.
There might be a resistive screen here and there, but it shouldnt be in all the the lowest end/older/special purpose devices, basically you'd know it was resistive if it was the case.
Resistive ones are just inert rods as resistive screens only require pressure from any correctly shaped object to work.
How old was the device in his vid thing? Android 1.0-2.1 era devices were available as resistive panels but it's pretty rare to find anything recent that's still resistive (unless it's a special purpose device like mentioned earlier)
The smallest capacitive compatable pen requires a head that's at least the size of an eraser, screens in general arnt really ment to be sensitive enough to support anything smaller.

Yeah thanks prior to this forum even prior to owning a streak I was dumbfounded on how much advanced android devices are. Coming from a blackberry this device opened up new doors for me. Anyways I emailed DX customer support n complained it wasn't working so now apparently they mistook it for me wanting a replacement n now I'm about to get another resistive stylus for free... If anyone wants one and is in Toronto pm me. Works great with any DS

I have a really nice little stylus ( not as nice as the SS one shown) from Boxwave & I attached a small extendable key/card holde to it and just have to attache the clip (of bothe pen & holder) to my pocket, and not have to take up the headset plug's space. I can still use the stylus & listen to my tunes @ same time.

Made one with illustration board. I tried using the magnifying glass lens I have laying around (I conveniently have 2) but it doesn't get the job done. Everything looks blurred until I move the phone 4 inch farther... so that's why it is required to have lens with 40-45mm focal length (regardless of diameter, I think)
I'll be making another one out of vinyl tiles while I'm looking for the proper lenses here in my area.

I think that focal length is too short? But give it a try, maybe it'll work. Report back when it did :cyclops:

depends on the app. Do a search for Google Cardboard. Its still a very young market, so apps are limited. I have one app that's for watching videos, but the rest are pretty much demos of 3d experiences (google earth, roller coaster, street view). The apps split the screen into two and the headset allows each eye to get one view

But the first time people use it..... A long ....woooooowwwwww....

Hi, the magnetometer is near IR blaster, so I have to lock my phone in the glass as high as possible to make the magnet stick work

Thank you, it work, but very shaky. May be we can change magnet to more powerful (from hard drive, e.g.)? Or can use voice, or headeset button?

In my case, I use 2 ferrite magnets and hold the phone like I do above. I think you can modify the glass with a lower magnet slider
I tried a bigger neodymium magnet (20mm diameter, 5mm thick) and it didn't work.
Voice or headset button: depends on your apps
