Keep charged in the car

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

If you travel in your car a lot or frequently use your phone throughout the day, then you need a car charger so that you never run out of juice.  There’s plenty of car chargers out there to chose from, whether it’s a fancy dock and charger or one of the simple USB car chargers available.  I’ve taken a closer look at three of our most popular car chargers available:

Navigon iPhone 4S / 4 Car Holder with Charger

Navigon iPhone 4/4S Car Holder and Charger

I actually own a Navigon as my iPhone 4S car charger and what I personally like about it is its curved style.  It looks a lot more stylish than other car charger and dock combos, but does the job just as well.

This car holder can be stuck to your windscreen at the angle to suit you with the simple suction cup.  Therefore you can position it in a place on your windscreen which is not only safe but also comfortable to use.

When using the Navigon you can angle it so that your phone is in either a portrait or landscape view, which is great for when using the maps feature of your iPhone, or for plugging in phone chargers, FM transmitters and other accessories.

Using an accessory like the Navigon you still have all the features of your phone available but your phone is docked safely and securely whilst doing so.

The included car charger is a simple USB charger meaning you can use your own cable and it’s compatible with both cars and trucks.

The USB car charger adapter is in my eyes a staple accessory for any car.

Cheap and cheerful, this USB plug slots into the cigarette lighter and will charge any accessory via USB.  This means not only can you charge your phone, but you could charge a Kindle, hand held gaming system like the DS and even tablets.

This means that if you’re on a long journey, you can keep your passengers occupied without the fear of batteries running out and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’

Compatible with any USB cable, this charger can be used on its own or with a dock, making it multi-functional and essential.  The plug can hide away in your glove box when not in use but you’ll be glad it’s there when you run out of juice!

 

 

Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Vehicle Dock

The last dock and car charger on my list is the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Vehicle Dock.  In a similar way to the Navigon it docks and charges your phone, so it’s a great Samsung Galaxy S2 car charger.

Being an official product, the perfect fit and compatibility is assured with this vehicle dock.  It clips your phone in place safely and securely ensuring that it won’t fall out if you take a corner too hard.

Like the Navigon it can be attached to your windscreen by a simple suction cup, meaning you can dock your phone safely and legally, at the most comfortable angle for you.  To add even more comfort you can view your phone in portrait or landscape, so again it’s great for SatNav apps.

The USB charger fits nicely into the phone and like all Samsung chargers keeps your phone fully juiced whilst you’re on the go.

Sleek and sophisticated, this is a great vehicle dock and charger for all S2 owners.

 

So that’s my top three; whether you agree or disagree let me know through the usual channels :)

How To Download Games, Ringtones and Wallpapers

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Getting a new game or ringtone or wallpaper for your phone should be one of the easiest things in the world. Ordering and paying for it is easy enough, just enter your mobile number, reply with ok to confirm you want it and job done. All that’s left to do now is to download your funky new tune to your phone. So how do you do it? Well, once you’ve ordered your tone, you will receive a text message from us with a link to a webpage where you can download the ringtone or game.

The message you recieve will be something similar to this:
http://wap.mobilefun.co.uk/index.wml?w=1&number=447890123456&pin=1234567

Now if you’re not that technically minded, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re a little bit confused right now and not 100% sure what to do next, but don’t worry, it’s all pretty simple. The link that you’ve received in your text message needs to be accessed from your phone and not from your PC. (If you try it from your PC you’ll get an error message that tells you to use the link on your phone.)

To view web links on your mobile phone its normally just a case of pressing a couple of buttons and the phone will do all the work for you. In most cases there is no need to type in the address that you’ve been sent. As each phone is different, the process for accessing web links varies quite a bit, so I’ve listed some instructions below on how to access web links on the most popular Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and HTC phones and will add more over time.

If you get an error message that refers to a problem with the settings on the phone, you may need to get the Internet settings resent to your phone. It’s free and only takes a couple of minutes, and I’ve put a guide together on how to do this for you: Setting up MMS, WAP & GPRS.
