HTC EVO 4G LTE
September 16, 2012
By R. Bardos
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this dock for my HTC EVO 4G LTE (Sprint's version of the HTC
One X). This item came in a retail package and is identical to the one
that is sold through Sprint.
I have this mounted in my car down
on the center console to an adhesive dashboard disc that I used for an
older GPS unit. The suction mount is very strong, as it has a lock down
level and wide surface area. After a month, it has not popped off after
sitting in extreme heat.
The phone slides into the dock very
easily without a case, I haven't tested it with a case. If placing the
phone in landscape, HTC sense will flip to landscape or will launch car
dock mode (according to your settings), even when dock is unplugged.
Removing the phone is even easier, just lift the latch and it slides
right out, no sticking. I don't think the phone would stay in very well
without closing the top latch.
I am using anTechnocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Dual USB Port Car Charger - Black with a rated output of 900mA, and it works just fine. The phone will still charging with all radios turned on.
The
dock can be easily rotated to portrait, however HTC car dock does not
rotate the screen, but it will if you are on the Sense homescreen. You
can even mount your phone up-side-down, and sense will rotate properly.
PROS:
+Sturdy
+Excellent Grip
+Sends phone into 'car mode'
+Hides charging cable
CONS:
-Bulky, not as sleek as the HTC version
Overall,
this is a solid dock that performs as it should. It is a bit bulky but
feels very sturdy and should be able to handle the heat over time. I've
used cheaper car docks with other phone, but have one with built in
charging port and lets the phone know that it entering car mode are
worth the price.
