something to put my phone on

use

hello

I use my phone as a satnav and I want to put it somewhere in my car to see it

at the same time, I want it to charge as navigation drains alot of power

can you suggest me please something? something that is reliable and stick well, not falling in every pothole

is it depended on the car and the mobile model? how can I make it charge at the same time?

thanks!

I recommend you type what you want into google and see what various mobile accessory retailers offer. The next step would then be to purchase the item that closest matches what you're after.

Then I'd recommend you get a grip of yourself and start thinking on your own, as opposed to asking anonymous internet users to plan every aspect of your life for you.

Buy a cradle for it. Avoid the cheap junk and it will stay where you put it.

Charging you normally just get a charge that plugs into the "cigarette lighter" (or whatever they call the thing now that they dont actually put the heating coil in it)

The exact solution will depend on your phone/ car and personal preferences. The simplest is a cradle that sticks to the dash or windscreen.

the problem with the cradle is that it's mobile specific! Now I have a 5" phone, if I buy a 6" phone or 4" phone it won't fit!

Use Velcro.

I always use Brodit cradles and car mounting kits. Not cheap but they work very well.

I think USE is Fantasyvn in disguise - same generic useless questions with seemingly no attempt at googling or otherwise solving their own problems.

I use something similar to (but not exactly the same as) this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Mobile-Phone-PDA-In-Car-Windscreen-Suction-Mount-Holder-Cradle-Stand-/111244416072

I then use a USB adapter in the car charger socket and run my phone's USB cable from it to the phone. (Easy enough to plug in/out as needed).

If your phone supports wireless charging then you can get universal windscreen cradles that offer this feature. (You still need the USB adapter and cable though; it just means you don't need to physically connect the cable to the phone each time).

If you can afford to buy a new iPhone, for example, you can afford a new cradle.
