Hi
Have you actually used it with an HD2? Does the volume control actually work with it? If so, this is just what I need.
I have just had a reply from Mobilefun that their suppliers say that this product is not compatible with the HD2. Very disappointed unless someone can say they have tried it and it works.

I already said it worked, probably no-one at MobileFun has an HD2. I have HD2 and this, it works fine.
I bought one of THESE, it's not in black but it works well with the HD2 for both for volume and microphone/phone call begin/end. It also allows me to use my own ear-bud headphones. It's very cheap to buy too!
It Works just fine.

On this basis all current generation (at least) itouch/iphone wired remotes will work with the HD2?!?!

Yes, dependent on the software you use supporting the button.
Since the Nexus S's GPS doesn't seem to bloody work and a fix isn't even on the horizon I was thinking maybe I could use an external GPS and hook it up via Bluetooth. There's a couple of success reports for Android phones in general but I don't know which devices, if any, will actually work with a (stock) Nexus S.
Are there any special protocols / features that need to be supported and what do I need on the phone side?
Do you have any specific recommendations?
Judging by the local pricewatch site (http://geizhals.at/) the market is dominated by Garmin and Navilock here.
1+ check some amazon reviews out it should work with anyone that has tried it will an android phone. If not CM7 will most likely have the protocal to support it
What are you talking about? My GPS gets and holds a lock within seconds. Try flashing a different rom, mine took over a minute to lock before I flashed OpenSoju.

It's nice that the built-in GPS works on your phone, but it doesn't on mine and I'm on the second unit already. Please do stay on topic.
You would rather continue using a defective phone than listen to people tell you that a non-working GPS is not normal behavior?

Do you really think exchanging it a second time would help any? (Not a rhetorical question, btw.)
Have a look at the many many threads around here by people who have problems with the Nexus S's GPS. Or at the mile-long thread over at Google Help. Or at reviews over at Amazon. Everywhere it's the same picture: A lot of people have problems, a lot don't.
If it were easy to fix it would have been fixed by now, so either it's a hardware issue that only affects some batches (in which case exchanging the phone won't help) or a complex bug that depends on outside factors, e. g. carrier used (same result). I could of course get another phone entirely, but which? The SGS1? For the GPS?
FYI im on my 3rd phone for other reasons and GPS was fine on all 3 devices
you might be getting threw a bad batch like you said ..IDK

Hm, not very encouraging, but thanks anyway.
I'm still open to suggestions for an external GPS, though.
Yes I do think exchanging it again would help. You are paying $2,000+ over the course of two years for this phone. Settling for one with capabilities less than advertised seems unreal to me. If I bought a car after the salesman told me it had A/C and it turns out it didn't have any A/C, I would return it in a heartbeat.

Ouch! I realize you're just quoting a round figure but I just did the math and I'm not even paying $500 (assuming US) over two years.

Wow, I didn't notice where you were from. $21 a month! You are a lucky guy. The US lags behind in broadband and cell service I suppose..
My GPS never worked too. I downloaded Gps test (by chartcross limited) on the market and after running both this app and google navigation simultaneously my gps worked. Initially it took 5 min to lock in a signal and now i get a signal instantly. Maybe give this a try.

Ok, I got number three and lo and behold it is a little better. Not great, but usable at least.
I'd still be interested in BT GPS that work well with the Nexus S.
I'm also not too happy with embedded GPS receiver.
So I just bought a Holux M-1000C, cheap and much more sensitive.
As additional plus you should get:
- logging during trips
- (to be confirmed) lower battery drain
- it can be adjusted to read up to 10 positions per second
I love the idea and can't wait to get one for my Note 2. I had originally wanted it as a quick flashlight toggle, but seeing that 4.3 already allows you to assign the volume up button for the flashlight, I may assign the Pressy as a quick camera button. The software can be programmed, so the options are limitless

Who else is getting one?
Wow! What a cool idea.
I might have to pre order one of these! The price isn't bad either. Seems to be $27.

The "early bird" special was $15... I got mine for $20 and it comes with the keychain, but you are right - pre-orders are $27. Still a little pricey, but for what it does, it's a good value and you can use it on other android devices when it comes time to upgrade.
I backed them and am really anxious to test it out!
What an awesome idea. In addition to solving the ridiculous problem created by manufacturers putting the power button anywhere but on the top of the phone, it opens up the usefulness with multi-press features. I wish I had known it was going on during the kickstarter campaign.
I backed the kickstarter too! Can't wait for mine. Will probably only use it for flashlight stuff, since I'm utterly uncreative with these types of things, but hey, it's cool!
yea i think its really nice
i was about to buy it until i use volume for cam
and put flash light in my toggles
:good:
Yeap, I backed them up once I saw the article on Engadget. Would love to use it as an instant flashlight with a double click camera.
Extended my support.

Giving us back the buttons that we allready had years ago including with dedicated camera/note/dicta not to mention phone buttons..would probably be too much to ask from devices that costs more than one old student car... :ccc
Damn You apple for your 'design' changes, damn You HTC and Samsung for following.
and I'll be damn if I buy this otherwise very practical thingy!
We consumers are really one funny bunch of sheeps.
Does it work through 3.5mm jack or via wireless network(Bluetooth or NFC)?

Through the headphone jack, similar to the media control buttons you see on headsets. Obviously, the pressy is much smaller than that and can be programmed.

It definitely can! I did research on Google for each and every one of these that I wasn't sure about?. I recommend anyone do the same if they are not comfortable and remember one man's trash is another man's treasure, you have to know what it is otherwise you may get rid of a feature you really want that someone else could care less about.
If you go to the running apps in the application manager you can also turn off some services but I'm not sure how to get some of those back because they don't show up and the "turned off" list.
These aren't actually getting deleted its the same as freezing them if you were rooted and using rom tool manager or titanium.
Your phone acts and responds exactly the same as if they were deleted but they are still there and dormant.
Many of them like "ant" can be downloaded directly from the Play Store.

Some variants do s be sure to check your radio freq. All you have to do is plug in headphones and they work as your antenna. Then you launch the app. It was probably easy for samsung to just toss that on all phones and let the carriers sort it out later.
That's common practice, why if your on a budget it's best to buy the low of a high end company rather than high end if a low end company!
Often parts /software are the same with less features "disabled or not connected" . It's cheaper and higher profit with easier tech support to have less platforms that are truly different.

That's rubbish!
Ant is a wireless communication standard based on the Bluetooth radio hardware. You can connect with several heart-rate-measurement devices used by runners and things like that.

It's amazing the level of "Bloatware" you guys get on American carriers! Wow! Up in Canada it's not nearly as bad and has been getting leaner and leaner over past couple of years.
Heck, a couple carriers up here got practically nothing on it but I think it was a time thing and not getting the firmware n source code in time to customize before launch but nonetheless hasn't been *too* bad here on most phones and carriers for a while..
And more importantly we have practically been providing "unlocked bootloader" phones for ever.. That's a BIG plus as the likes of AT&T and Verizon are locking everything down.

Never heard of them, but I will give them a shot
Just got this a few weeks ago, it definitely makes me more likely to game on emulators than if I had no controller or a blue tooth controller. There's games I would never play with an on screen pad, and a blue tooth controller can feel too cumbersome to play with sometimes, but this is like a perfect medium for playability and portability. I've found myself playing way more since I've had the controller. There are 2 negatives though. The dpad has to be pressed down a little harder than most game pads, but you get used to it. Also, the shoulder buttons are a little small, they probably should have just stuck to 2 total shoulder buttons instead of trying to stick all 4 up there.
i agree, the 4 shoulder buttons is a bit crowded
Mine arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the phone to arrive though. T-Mobile finally charged my card, so it should be arriving soon.

Actually, it looks like they just released a fixed Oreo on 2/16 based on their newsroom.
Anyone had an issue where the phone wouldn't charge more than "charging slowly" while it's in the gamepad?
Also does your gamepad charge your phone?
