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.
I made this the other night and thought I'd share. Its just a piece of white acrylic I had lying around after a work project. Started off as 13in x just under 5in. That is just enough to feel comfortable in portrait mode, but I have a 11in piece left I may mess around with. I think the lip holding the tablet is slightly too close of a turn on the left side, but otherwise it sits pretty good. I'm guessing the 1/8 cheaper acrylic would work just about as good.
Needed:
propane torch
acrylic
gloves?
I used some duct work crimpers to hold on to it, and also a table mounted clamp. I'm sure there are better ways. Be careful not to set it on fire, just needed to be warm enough to bend
Nice!
Good Idea! I may try this myself.

I found a nice stad in Michael's Craft shop. The cost was under $4.00 and the stand folds for storage in the case provided by Viewsonic. I did have to make on small mod, I had to attach 2 small pieces of foam rubber from a cup/can insulater to the stand to prevent the back of the gtab rubbing on the metal and scratching it. I bought 2 so I can keep one the night stand. Does anyone know where I can find screen protectors??
see the thread for Skinomi TechSkin screen protector $15 Free shipping!!!
I found one Skinomi.com that is diecut full screen especially for the Gtab.
I suppose a hole for the camera needs to be made.
Thanks to xRepinsSporx
also got a great stand in black, folds flat and is rugged metal.

I can't figure out how to adjust the arm. The directions say "loosen either knob" but there's only one knob. Am I missing something? This is making me crazy..

No you're not its not adjustable. I am buying a Kuda leather mount base and igrip pivoting mount to screw into it to make a nice clean install I hate stuff on my windows.

There is just a circle dial behind the dock. Loosen it and you can adjust. It is definitely adjustable, you can make it go whichever way you want. I always used
a universal dock before but this thing is bad ass! Not only that, it has a removable insert so you can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the
TPU-Cases cases will fit.
There is only one nob. Im super surprised your having problems with it, the manual should not of been needed. Wonder if yours is defective?

That iGrip link is not the mount it comes with, the one it comes with is adjustable.
Yes, I can see the knob to adjust the tilt. It's the other axis to adjust the height that has me confused. The directions say this is a 270 degree axis, but for me it won't budge.
Edit: after reviewing the manufacturers web site I see either they made a last second change to the design or mine was built incorrectly. Can anyone confirm? Does anyone have two adjustment knobs?

No as stated that link is the mount I'm purchasing for my custom install since I can't find a good way to use the arm that came with it.
Sgtcody only have the one knob. I've tried disassembling the arm to adjust the one you're talking about but no luck. In my Charger the glass is too deep to put it anywhere that won't be in my field of view and still accessible.

I bought this and I love it. I was screwing with this thing for and hour trying to figure out a way to get it to pivot at that point as well. I removed the caps (which is a damn pain) and then you can pull apart the side walls and then rotate it. I am not sure if it was intended that way but it will work. Hope this helps.

how the hell do you remove the caps? that's what i figure too and i have no luck removing the caps even with plier
i bought it and luv it
Didn't know that the 2 lateral knobs/caps can come off. As is, you cannot move the arm ((in the provided photo, knobs/caps circled in red do not come off or move) only the wheel/dial can rotate for adjustment. Is there a way to remove them without breaking it? Thanks.

Use a screw driver on the end, they slide off in one direction only. Once the post is exposed, you'll see that its a square and it fits into the square hole on the base which is why it does not rotate. Takes a bit to get the base arm off but it can be done, and you can change it 90 degrees up or down. It's a horrible design.
I'm thinking the iGrip Mini will be a better solution for my dash mount, the arm actually rotates and it sits a lot lower in profile.
Thanks Evil Bob, will mess with it tonight.

It would have been so much better if they sold the Evo 3D mount separate from the base you put in your car. Would have saved me money, plus they have much better mounts than what comes with the kit.
Cases that fit?
Sorry if a bit off topic here but, I saw someone confirm that TPU cases fit in the dock, can anyone else confirm any others that fit? I have an official HTC silicone one and it won’t fit (even with the dock insert pulled out). Looks like it should go but, just a bit too thick in the corners. I also tried an otterbox silicone case but no go there either…This is aggravating, anyone else having better luck?

+1 Thanks! I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out how they came off. didn't have a screwdriver near by (at the office atm) so I just pulled up on it using my desk. Those things are a b*tch!
I bought this case:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Leath...KP1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326056034&sr=8-1
I ended up returning it. It's a nice case, but it left scuff marks all over my NT. I haven't been able to remove the marks with Goo-Gone or isopropyl alcohol. Any ideas on how to clean the NT?
Same **** happened to mine not sure what to do about it tho.
OH wow, talk about timing - I was just asking this exact case in another thread on this very forum. Sorry to hear about that - hopefully you left a note in the reviews to warn others.

Good call. I'll go ahead and do that sometime.
thanks for the warning, was going to pick up one of these since there's a ton of positive reviews for the nook color
Ugh thanks for the heads up. I checked mine and found 2 tiny marks. It's such a secured case though so I just taped the sides.

Same here. Looks ugly when I take the device out of the case. But at the end of the day, I don't worry too much about it. I mean it is gonna always stay inside the case for me, ugly marks are all hidden.
I had this problem just leaving the nook in the box it came in. Where the microfiber was sitting on it, the edge turned black and scuffed. It's an unfortunate material choice. Probably better off to keep it in one in a case that covers the edges, so you won't ever see it.
Wow I bought the same case and got the same marks.
I also tried alcohol. Im at my wits end. Almost tempted to use some kind if abraisive, but dont want to hurt my nook's finish.

Seriously?
So, I bypassed this issue after hearing about the stain issue on the Roocase from this thread.
So, to get around the problem, I got an Otterbox Commuter, and put velcro on the back of it. It gives me Otterbox-level protection with the ability to have a stand that will hold it in portrait or landscape mode. Since the stand originally just uses velcro for this it functions exactly as it originally did.
I just got vecro adhesive tape from the local WalMart and put 2 strips on the middle part of the back of the Otterbox.
One thing I like about the case is that it has a little pocket that fits a microfiber screen cleaner cloth in a small plastic envelope.
Hello all. I had bought my v10 last week and got my third party case from eBay a couple of days ago and that's when I learned of the sensor issue. On mine, just like others, the sensor is nearly useless.
So I did some scouting and found the UAG case. I contacted the company in regards to this case and they claim the case works 100% with the fingerprint sensor. Has anyone here used the Urban Armor Gear case? Its a pretty pricey investment and don't want to flush more $$ on cases that just won't work.
Easy Fingerprint / Case fix
Just keep the case you like.
Cut a thin (~1") strip of aluminum foil long enough to connect both metal side rails (~3").
Lay it across the back of your phone so that it covers the bottom volume button and touches each metal side rail.
Then put the case on.
As long as your finger can brush up against the foil when you try to unlock, it works every time.
They'll eventually roll out an update that will address this, so don't worry about "cases that work", they're probably lying anyway unless they have a metal strip built in.

Here is what I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64016697&postcount=12. It works fine for me just remember to smooth out the edges so they are completely flat else you have a chance of scratching the metal rails.

Yep, just make it work. When I put the strip in, I didn't even cut around the hole like in your pics. It actually turned out pretty clean, the aluminum forms itself to the bottom button and looks kind of like a silver half-moon. I could see where yours could work better from some angles, but I never have problems, and am lazy. You can see it on imgur if you paste in mqJXBDY after the slash.

I actually didn't cut that part out I used the excess and rolled it up to line the edge of the cutout so when I touch the FPS my finger would still be in contact with foil without covering up the button. Pretty much my cuts of foil are the red lines with the arrows showing where the pieces were rolled to line the edge.
That is pretty slick.
