What'd you do to mount it?
You've got that big of a flat area that you can velcro in your car? Never seen that before. Here's my two car dashboards... I could never do this. I've been thinking about it though and I'd love to be able to mount my Note 10.1, but I'd have to get one of those arm things. Here's the dash of my daily driver, an 09 GTI.

I used velcro to let in lay more flat against the dash.. i have a 7'' double-din but i put a piece of wood in the 7'' opening and cover it in velcro.. so now i can remove it out the car and still use it as a tablet..

Slick stuff guys!Fyi, I had a similar set up, cop got me for it. Apparently, if its above dashboard level or they think it blocks your veiw or distracts you, its a moving violation. So I set it up like a cop car. I happend to talk to a cop later on, he wished HIS was more like mine hehe. Will post a pic in the a.m. when wifey comes home....

Yep, I'm pretty certain that this setup would be illegal in the UK for the same reasons. If you couldn't dismantle it there and then when you got stopped, they might impound the vehicle.
See Section 109 of the Road Traffic Construction and Use Regulations
It can be removed and i also don't ride with the display on and if i do its only to change a song or to use navigation. At night i reduce the brightness so it wont be so noticeable since the screen is so bright..

Anyone tried putting a magnet next to the back of their Defy?
I have this leather case for an old XDA I used to have, which has a magnet built in to clasp the strap closed.
When I put the defy in, it came up with a multimedia dock interface!
Also, putting the magnet at another point puts it into the car windscreen dock interface.
I looked on the Motorola website for the accessories, but they list the milestone multimedia/windscreen docks under the Defy accessories.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Milestone's usb port is in the wrong place to fit?
Yes, the milestone won't fit. I'm waiting for a desk-stand, too

Problem is, it'll switch into car mode every time you use that...
magnet polarity
Turn the polarity of magnet!
If you put the magnet same place like in the car mount (behind of the menu button), but with reversed polarity. The phone runs the media home instead of car home.
I understand that's how it works.
Thing is, how easy is to to get to the magnet?
Are you likely to end up ruining or breaking the dock whilst trying to remove and reinsert it?
If you don't want the magnet to work, can't you put the phone in upside down? Most of my apps work fine inverted. I realize that puts the usb on top...
I just bought a cheap mount from China on eBay now. No magnet

So if you guys saw my review of the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 you know that one of the features that I would like to see on the TF is haptic feedback. It's a very smart idea. I had it on my galaxy tab 7" too and I really miss it.
I took apart my TF in hopes of finding the proper mounting spot for the haptic feedback mechanism. I included a picture of the motor. So not knowing anything about circuits, the best I could do is provide pictures of all the logic boards in hope that someone can point me in the right direction. Obviously this will require some soldering but that's not a big issue for me (unless it's too small). Mounting the vibrator isn't the issue. The issue I an having is WHERE can I mount it so that it actually functions when I tap the screen or use the on-screen keyboard. Where can I tap into? Please look at the pictures and let me know if you have an ideas. I don't mind being the guinea pig.

Nowhere. If it wasn't designed for it, I can pretty much guarantee you that there's not a connection that conveniently sits there waiting to attach it to.

Eh, the question was answered. The Transformer doesn't really have any room for a motor. Not how it's built -- After all, it's made to be thin and small.
I wonder if any of those USB vibrators would work with the ports on the keyboard dock?
You very nearly had me Googling for a USB vibrator .... nearly!

The iPad didn't come with a camera yet it had the perfect spot for one. The Samsung vibrant didn't come with a camera but it was easy to snap one in. Just cuz a feature didn't make the final cut doesn't mean it wasnt initial designed to handle it- they probably removed it to safe money and bring the cost down.
The question isn't about room. There is plenty of room. Obviously if samung can fit a small motor inside then the galaxy tab (which is nearly half the size of the TF) then one in the TF is not an issue.

Ok, **** hapen
I forgot my tf101 on my car roof before going on..
So all my fault, now my tf 101 is dead, it has been passed over by a car at least before i was able to retrieve my tf101..
The tablet is still working fine, i just can,t see anything, because the screen is only showing line of color. Nothing readable.
So when using it with hdmi, everything is ok. I just have to figure out where to tap.
I will reset everything on it and might try to sell it for part.
I also have the docking keyboard which is not broken. It was at home when my misadventure hapened.
So i have make the jump on the tf300.
So far it is working great. With the exception being that the vpn l2tp shared key is also not working on the tf300. I,m still waiting for that.
Dock?
can i hvae your dock too your tf101? i live in canada in london and i can not find it any where...gah
So you're glass isn't broken? the only obvious issue is the lcd doesn't display anything? Personally I would take it apart and check for broken or disconnected wire.
You could always hook it up through hdmi and have yourself a little media player for your TV.

Bummer man. :crying:
I left mine on the hood of my Jeep when I went to take the trash out one morning, thanks to the silicon case it stayed put until I hit about 40 MPH, then it went airborne over the roof of the car. I managed to stop and pick it up before anyone ran it over though, the case took the brunt of the impact. The screen stayed intact, the only damage was one or two of the tabs that hold the back cover on broke so it protrudes from the corner now.

The cover is really, really annoying. Especially for me, who uses bluetooth through my car speakers for my main music stuff. So each time I get in the car I plug the phone into the 12 volt. And each time, I have to pry open that cover. The worst part is, it doesn't even stay open! I also just got my Incipio dual layer protection case in the mail and now its even harder to get the charging cover off. It's really aggravating. I don't even think it closes correctly either. It always looks like its not snapped down all the way. Just, bleh. Most annoying quirk on the 4 Samsung phones I've owned.
just get the spare battery charge kit so you never have to mess with it. Its also a better means of going from zero to 100 than wireless charger

Yeah I'm not really sure what to do here. I have a bunch of 3D models for phone docks / car docks / etc for the gs3 and gs4, the battery cover is a total nuisance on the gs5, especially because it doesn't really stay open after you open it (I'm trying to imagine how to go about designing a dock for this thing).
I do 3D modeling and have a 3D printer, if anyone has an idea for an improvement... holler. I doubt we'll see any kind of other 3rd party replacement otherwise as it's attached to the phone and clearly involved with waterproofing. not sure if it's worth the trade-off!
anywho guess I'll be giving wireless charging a try again...

Yeah definitely good that it's easy to do that - personally I'm not really upset or frustrated; it's awesome to add waterproofing - I'm just trying to puzzle out the best way to keep the feature while also making the phone easy to slide into a dock (preferably with one hand), you know?
