Hello,
Anyone know where i can get armband for the Dell streak, its hard to find one that fits 5" screen.
Thanks
LOL.....you are kidding aren't you?
dude......you need to go buy yourself an iphone so you dont go asking stupid questions like that around here again
I actually run in the mornings as well and have ALWAYS used my phone for my mp3 player when i do so, I would also like to know if anyone as found one.
My daughter would like to have her mp3 player back since i basically jacked it from her and wont give it back. Hers even has the micro sd slot so i can even listen ot my own tunes and i am not settled with her chick music crap. but it does not have blue tooth so i can use my stereo blue tooth headset that i have used for the past 3years. (i really got used to the no wire thing)
I also bike ride too and would love a way to strap it to my arm or somthing for that as well.
try a backpack... or one of those ancient things called a "fanny pack"
I suppose you could slip in under your sweat band...
I actually tried an old sweatband but it did not hold it very well. it would not even hold it accross the room.

have you tried tucking it into your panties
...just a thought
The problem with waist band type holders when jogging is that area takes a lot of shocks from landing feet which I think is partly why arm bands were invented in the first place. The Streak is too big to fit comfortably on the arm though I'd have thought.
Take a look at skiing accessory suppliers - a lift pass holder might work if you can find one large enough.

yea...i guess we will just have to wait till some company make one, till then we can't really use the streak while exercising.
Funny!
The funniest thread I've ever read!

couldnt agree more.
" oh man i love my new laptop, i just wish it came with a armband so i could surf the web while im running"
in all seriousness though. a wrist strap would be a better idea since the phone functions in landscape. now that sh*t would be scifi. hell all you need to sort that out would be a rubber skin and some black nylon straps

Have you checked in to getting one of those new fangled MP3 players all the kids are raving about?

Now that I would get.
What you need is a Cell-mate, Google it. Would be perfect for your needs and you can do away with the silly wires too then
what a bunch of obnoxious arses people have become lately..
I think I'll join in as well!
I'd quite like an armband for my streak, and it doesn't look too big on me, but then I'm not a 15yr child like some of the posters here are behaving like!
I use mine while exercising, i use it everyday cycling to work. I've taken to keeping it in a rigid sunglasses holder and have a belt fitting for that, but its not ideal although mytracks and mixzing running over bluetooth. Mytracks voice announce feature is superb.
But for navigation I need a better solution as I need to see the screen.
I don't understand what the big deal is here. I would like an armband too. Sure, I could get an MP3 player, but why? The streak plays MP3's. In addition to that, wearing it on your upper arm would work just fine with the landscape format...just lift your arm up a bit (as if you were looking at your watch) and it should rotate so that you can read things normally.
I got this thing so it could satisfy as many of my needs as possible. Using it at the gym to track my workout and listen to music falls under that category.
i was begining to think i was the only one that honestly was interested in this (other than the original poster) Thanks for chiming in guys.
I also wouldn't mind getting an arm strap, as long as it was designed well and not just a pocket that then wraps around your arm cos the then it wouldn't sit on your arm properly and would eventually swivel, loosen and then fall off due to the gap (phone being wide and flat and your arm being round).
I currently use a waist pouch fanny pack p*ss bag (its yellow ) thingy along with my bluetooth headphones and it works perfectly for me at the mo but then again, I don't run on the treadmills so I wouldn't know how it would cope then (I either cycle or use the Xtrainer). Still, nothing wrong with wanting an arm strap!
I was looking through PSP accessories for goodies to maybe modify, but the PDAIR flip case should meet MY needs. Long wait for it to get here though.
Give the guy a break.
Try one of these. Not sure how well it does with the weight but I attach mine to a camel bak when mountain biking

I also use a bluetooth head phones for music so it can be sealed in. if you stick with wired head phones then you can half seal it in an still be secured

Do any of you use a universal car dock?
I'd like to be able to clip it to the vents so that I can easily reach it for navigation.
Anyone using one that they'd recommend?
I have this one and I'm very happy with it. It's not a vent holder though. I found that the SNS is a bit big to hang off the vents.
EDIT: I can't post links so just search ebay for 'nexus arkon'.

I have this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y3BEV4 it's meant for the IP4 but works great with our phone. I like the fact that I can use it with other phones in the future.
I use a clingo car holder, its golden, if your in vancouver you can probably find one at london drugs, thats where i got mine
Clingo is great.. for about 3-6 months.
I've gone through four Clingo mounts. Every time, after a few months the green backing starts literally falling apart and leaving residue on the back of the device.
I really wanted to love Clingo. But the pads are basically disposable. Sadface.

I use this one as well, it worked for my evo, nexus S, and my wife's pre, and an ipod.
It also comes with a window attachment AND a vent attachment. I've seen it on amazon for as low as 8.99 so I actually own two.
Throw an NFC tag on that with a nexus and pure gold
Anybody know if there is a car mount available that is either specific to the Holiday, or one that is universal but works just as well? I want to try iOnRoad:
Not that I need it, because I'm a good driver.. lol just curious as to how well it works. Plus, I use navigation on occasion and it would be nice to have a real mount rather than propping the phone up on the dash or holding it.
Here you are.
Awesome. But, you know, I can't really Google any car mounts Vivid users have already tried out and experienced for themselves. Because even though I have, I haven't found any. So that's really why I asked. Nice try, though.

next time, maybe you should check the google links before trying to be funny... you know... the ones that don't actually have mounts for the vivid...
thanks.
While they don't have one for the Vivid/Raider yet, I've always used ProClip mounts (Brodit outside of North America). They come in two pieces, one custom fit to the vehicle and one custom fit to the phone, and I like it very much. I've emailed them to see if they'll make a Vivid mount, but they gave the standard "We don't know what our plans are" answer. If people are interested, email them, maybe if they get enough questions, they'll actually make one!
The ProClips are ok. I've used them before. However, I've really grown to like the Scosche universal that you can find at Walmart. It uses two small bottom feet and has sticky gel on the back to hold the phone.
It comes with a windshield mount. When the gel loses its stick, just clean it with a damp rag. Mine has lasted through three cellphones and going.
Kensigton Universal Car Mount
I just bought this a few weeks ago and it work excellent with the Vivid, it holds the phone securely and has very minimalist design. To remove the phone from the holder is just a press of a button. I used the vent clip mounting option, as I prefer not to obstruct the windshield with anything. Below is the link to the product page on Amazon, which is where I bought it from.

I picked up a thunderbolt dock last night at Verizon (only $10) cut off the left side (farthest from plug) and it fits and world really well, im ganna add some foam to the back so it fits in better and more securely.
I am actually using a Kensington iPhone car mount (can't post a link yet) granted my Vivid isn't in a case but its only about $10 on Amazon and it holds the phone snugly while given access to the charging port and can rotate from lanscape to portrait easily.
The only issue I have is that the mic on this phone is so weak that I can't be heard on the phone if I answer on speakerphone while driving. Does anyone know a fix for this?

I'm using the same Kensington car mount. Bought it off Amazon because I saw it on sale for 6 bucks. Works quite well!

Anyone know if htc makes different cradles for their car docks? I recently looked at an htc car mount/ dock for an evo 3d and it looks like an amazing mount with superior quality. I found a way to take off the evo 3d specific "cradle" and was wondering why they designed it that way if I couldn't find any other cradles online. It would totally make sense if I could go to a parts website and just buy the cheap cradle part. The mount is clearance at Best Buy so this would be the best inexpensive option I think.

Ive actually been in the market for a vent mount myself. I dont like window mounts mainly because they put your phone where it's sitting right in the sun the entire time its in the mount. Vent mounts help some to keep it out of the sun. I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to in the near future. However, before I do, I think I'm going to try this first. Found it in another thread, thought I'd share it here too.

My personal favorite is still the Mountek.
My first mount for my Inspire was a mountek. It worked great for what it is. I read somewhere that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052G6IRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
can be modified to fit the phone. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and found this thread looking for the other thread lol. IIRC you have to modify (or cut off for the less handy) the portion of the mount that curves around the top of the phone (mic jack area). No worried as the USB port with firm top/bottom clamping should hold the phone from lateral movement in landscape modes. I definately would not try to have it hold the phone upside down when modified.
Try a type similar to the Rocketfish Universal mount...
Hi guys,
Just recently got the Vivid. Best Buy sells the Rocketfish Universal mount for about $25 or so. I'm sure there's something similar out on the web...I like this mount because I can move the arms/feet around the buttons and still secure the phone in mount. Useful if you have a GPS (like google navigate doesn't do a fair job) or another phone that you swap in and out with...
Would love to find a mount suitable for a '95 Honda VT1100 (though with some velcro strapping the Rocketfish would work. Any suggestions there?

Try installing "Equalizer", from the AppBrain market. It really will boost the sound quality both ways, and it's customizable.

Does yours allow the phone to actually charge properly? Mine it just slowly drains, figured I would see what your results were before dropping even more money on yet another cig lighter to usb port. My current one is spec'd to 500mA so if its functioning its provides the juice.
EDIT: Tested in car mode attached directly to the charger and it still slowly drained. must not be the dock then :/

I have a vent mount and bike mount for both Vivid and Inspire using Seido Surface cases. Fitment is excellent.

Not sure if it is good. you want to find something that will have a good grip so that when hitting rough terrain it will still hold. I'm always looking for something myself because I bike occasionally myself and having my phone mounted is a great feature as well.
I probably wouldn't trust something to hold my phone unless it had bars that hooked over the front of the phone, too. Because unless that thing has really good grip and can tighten nicely, I can see the phone slipping out of that on rough terrain.
I've been using one of the SlipGrip Bike mounts (search for them on ebay, I can't post links...) It holds securely. (Actually, I modified it to work as a dashmount because I like the Otterbox case but hate having to take it off to use the dock, and I haven't had my bike out this season yet.)

Hello Everyone,
has anyone tried the "finn" holder for bicycle´s from the website getfinn.com ?
Does it fit to the LG G2 ?
I couldn´t find anything about this product here
But i need a good bicycle holder
http://getfinn.com/
It should definetely fit.
I don't see how that wouldn't jar the heck out of the phone, rotate, potentially spill the phone, etc.. Plus of course it's not in the slightest bit protective etc.
Maybe if you're minimalistic and ride on perfectly smooth roads it might work.
@khaytsus check the YT reviews of Finn, it's damn good, one dude was riding through the stairs and his phone wasn't moving.
I am looking for a good phone mount to put on my Harley. Don't think I would trust this one but it looks like a quality holder.
