Does this device have a strap hole?
Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, none of the LG or Samsung WP7 devices have a built-in strap hole. My LG Optimus 7 certainly does not. But seriously, you are gonna ruin such a sleek device with a strap hole? To each his/her own...
The Samsung Omnia 7 WP7 device has a built-in strap hole.
Where
Where are you going to attach the strap hole on Optimus 7
mine strap hole is filled with dust. and it not able to put new starp.

OK, I've gone and done a embarrasing thing ;o)
had the top of the stylus bit unscrewed. put the bottom bit in the holder on XDA, and it appears to have dropped down!
no amount of prising with screwdriver etc can get it out ;(
Any suggestions for how to get it out?
Disassemble etc?
Thanks,
Ben
I did the same thing, I got a small jewellers screwdriver and pushed it down while exerting pressure to one side, it took a few pulls but it got there gradually. The best thing would be if you can find something longer than the top part of the stylus with the same thread and screw that in, since it happened to me I went to a local engineering place and they sold me a piece of threaded bar that does the trick.
thanks - is there any danger of affecting the circuitry if I start poking?
its just, i was looking at the XDA internals photos, and there doesn't seem to be a proper seperator?
I'll try a small screwdriver..thanks

I used the plastic top of a 3 in one stylus I bought (and discovered was a lot of rubbish because the reset pin was too big) and trimmed down the plastic, attached it to a piece of tube, and stuck it in, screwed it onto the bit in there and pulled it out.
ruined a stylus though.
..Chuck..
I can be so stupid sometimes.
Went and did what you did Chuck, but forgot to attach the tubing or any means of getting it out
Gonna try a tiny dab of glue...
I did the same thing on the Xda II. Unfortunately the narrower stylus makes it even harder to find a suitable tool
Found that the (plastic) end of a children's small paintbrush was just the job!
Can't get it out now
Does anyone know what screwdrivers I need to disassemble XDA?
It looks like a standard straight one, and a torx one of some size?
@tabbycat: Where did you get the XDA II?
Same thing happened to me: I just gently banged the tip of the antenna on the table. Dropped right out. But then maybe my stylus holder has become quite loose...

Ok so on the tilt 2 it has a strap/charm hole to put well a strap or charm on ur phone, and i used it alot! But recently the little plastic piece in the hole that holds the charm/strap snapped off on mine, Does anyone have any good suggestions on what I could do, I'm rather clumsy so a strap is rather needed
Where on your Tilt2 do you have such a hole? Mine does not.

that is so obvious is not for a strap!, the only thing i can come up with is that is for some kind attachment whole for like an accesory or maybe a craddle, but definetly not a strap, i dont think, lol
the phone is too heavy and you prob snapped the plastic cover off a lot too didnt you?
but i would love to really find out trully what kinda accesory would attached to it

Its called a hanger hole, its in the manual
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/tech-specs/
No my plastic cover never came off
Anyone got and idea of how to fix it?
Looks like the holder is part of the phone frame. If the little T-shaped tab broke off, you may be SOL on fixing it. Perhaps you could buy a broken Tilt 2 off eBay (I've seen them) and transfer the part, but taking a phone apart and putting it back together correctly is not an easy task.
I never would have guessed that hole was for a strap or charm, although that's quite apparently what its for. The T-shaped tab under the battery covers sure doesn't look strong enough for the purpose.
never had a hole on mine, whered u get that from?! lol

oh... so you can wear the phone as a pendant... ya cause its so small and light i might mistake it for a necklace...
Same thing happened to me - I keep thinking how lucky I am it didn't go flying when it broke. I was able to loop the hanger through the square just to the left of where the "t" was - I can provide a pic shortly. Its been working so far...

I never, ever would have guessed that that hole was for hanging the little charms off of. I once wondered why this phone didn't come with something like that when most phones did.
Amazing what reading the manual can do~!
love hanging charms
sorry about your luck.
yep, i love hanging a charm or a cute screen cleaner from the charm hole.
been using it for a year..hope mine doesnt do the same

Oh please do
I use a strap for mine. It works wonderfully!
Wow that's great. Does anybody know where to find a strap that would be good to wear my Tilt2 around my neck please? It would be great for working while wearing a wired headset. Hate keeping it in my pocket and I'm not happy with any of the holsters. Especially that oem one. That sucker will help a guy lose his phone in a hurry...
EDIT; Nevermind. I figured out to search for the words phone and lanyard on ebay. Decisions, desisions.
Memory card lanyards work fine too. I'm using a lanyard for a SanDisk MicroSD adapter for my phone. It works great.
Whoa, that little plastic bit holding the weight of a Tilt 2 on a lanyard or wrist strap? Sounds like tempting fate to me. I never have used a wrist strap on a phone and this definitely doesn't inspire me to try it now, lol. HTC should have built something a little more substantial than that into the frame if they wanted it to be really useful as a hanging point for the phone. I have been wondering where the strap on the HTC accessory page was supposed to attach, now I know.

You are correct. It does look cheesy. However, so far so good. I do think it is important to be certain that the string of the lanyard is seated to the base of the "T" opening really well. Fortunately that is easy to pull off. Also I don't think I'd swing it around by the lanyard with the cover off. After a few weeks of using a wrist strap and a neck lanyard I don't see any signs of stress on the plastic. So maybe it will hold out.
Hi I just received my otter box case commuter series for my x10 but im not able to remove the hard cover. Does anyone know a way to remove it? I dont want to break it.
Thank you!

Can you be more specific?
Because I do not understand what you mean by the hard cover.

I had a little difficulty at first but, I've found the easiest way is to simply bend back the top right corner (side where the volume buttons are located) and then work your way down the right hand side. I'm sure you can be fairly rough with it without it breaking.

The Otterbox Commuter consists of 3 layers of protection.
1. Screen Protector
2. Inner Silicon skin with cover 'bumps' for the 3 face buttons and the side buttons (Vol and Camera) and a plug for the headphone jack.
3. A hard plastic shell which slips on around the skin.
All in all pretty complete protection for your phone but does cover the good looks of the phone as well as add considerable bulk.
i literally just pop it up. i pull on the left side of the hard cover a little, then pull the phone away from the hard case. it should slip off just like that.
dont be scur!!! thats why they have warranty.
Any one know of a good armband for working out with the G3, preferably water resistant for those rainy days.
Thanks
I'd think anything that works for the S5 and One M8 will accomodate the G3 as well.
This one's well reviewed:
http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Armband-Galaxy-LifeProof-iPhone/dp/B00CMRW30E
I haven't run with my G3 yet, so I can't recommend any holders for it. However when I'd run with my S3 I had a neoprene armband with a clear window which claimed to be waterproof but definately wasn't. I simply put my phone in a ziploc bag with the cord coming out one end of the zipper seal with the rest of the zipper sealed up. The ziploc reduces a bit of visibility but prevents any water damage and doesn't inhibit touch functions.
I live near Seattle (plenty of rain) and I've gone running in full-on downpours before and I've never had any issues with rain or sweat getting to my phone.

I like the bag idea with the armband.

I guess we are almost neighbors.

I do the bag thing too but for cycling. Well, I haven't yet with the G3 but that's what I always did with my iPhone. In a ziptop and in my center pocket.

To be more specific I live in Bremerton so you're closer to Seattle than I. But only locals and mxpx fans know where Bremerton is so I just say "near Seattle."
The only challenge with an arm band is the headphone jack on the bottom (I like that better for just using it in a pocket). My S3 was easy because I could just fold the extra baggie with the cord over and have it hang out of the armband flap.

Ibera makes a water proof stem mount case for a phone this size. I had a smaller one for my Razr HD.

That case I linked up above has a little velcro loop that you can run the excess cable through.

I found that armbands tend to move too much with the larger phones. I use a running belt like Camden Gear running belt or Amphipod Airflow lite. Both will work with the G3 if you're using a thin case. It 's a tight squeeze in the pouch. The belt is snug and doesn't interfere with my run, and it doesn't bounce.
I gave up the armband with the S3 because I spent too much time fiddling with it as it slide off my arm.
Hi. I have a Truesmart for almost a year now, I love it and I'm completely dependant of it.
Unfortunately, yesterday, I played with a friend, and he just grabbed my arm and broke my Truesmart's strap in two. Fortunately, it wasn't the part where the antennas are, but a few cm below.
I can't fix it up by setting some glue. Do you have any idea on where can I buy a strap replacement or how can I fix it ? It'd be so sad that I got to replace an entire watch for just a strap :/
Thanks you for your kind help
