[Q] any news on a MHL/HDMI docking station? - Galaxy S II Accessories

hi everyone,
i'm looking for a media docking station. i know there are quite a few that allow charging and data sync ( excluding the official samsung one - shame on you samsung! ), but i'd like one dock that is capable of HDMI, audio and usb out. even if one has to toggle beween usb and hdmi, i don't see why it shouldn't be possible and we really need a dock like it! if you've seen or heard anything about something like it please share your info. i'm almost tempted to make one myself, but combined all the parts ( mhl, some docking base, usb adaptor, paint etc ) are pretty expensive, so i'd rather have an official one.
thanx for looking and i appreciate any info you have.
d

Also waiting for this one.

Dock Gps ?
Is there eany DOCKING STATION for our phone (dosking station for charging and sync) ?
No, the usb/charger input is on the top side...
I know that but maby there is some docking station where we can put our phone in lendscape and stick usb cable in dock and phone for charging and syncing...
I don't know any but maby you look for something like that for the galaxy s (same input). Or search for a wireless dock (bluetooth)...

hi iam looking for the original stereo headsets that came with this phone. ant ideas where to purchase them?
I want to buy a car holder from dealextreme.com, because they are 4-5 times cheaper than the local dealers who usually sell exactly the same stuff. Can anybody suggest a good and durable one from there?

[Q] Has anyone bought the media link adapter?

http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-des...=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base
The reason I ask, is because I would like to buy a pico projector for use as a HUD display for my car. Also, I have a vulkano and the vulkano app installed. So when parked I would like to be able to connect something like this to watch my home cable over my homemade HUD. But from the you tube reviews, it seems as if it will only do stored content, not streaming content. If this won't work, can someone point me in the direction of something that will? If I need to clarify something, just let me know.
Thats a sweet idea if you can get it to work, but that thing is pricey. I believe the microUSB port is actually a port (can't remember name) that is compatible with microUSB (charging, syncing, etc) but also supports HDMI. If so, that would work better wouldn't it?
I was wondering this as well. I am coming from an INC and the video out cable worked well for my screens in my Tahoe. I would love to find something to get a video out signal on my TBolt. I was a few minutes from pulling the trigger on the media link myself.
Anyone have any first hand experience with the Thunderbolt?

I saw a pdf. That seems to support this, but I have yet to see the cable itself materialize. I was listed as an accessory, but so was the dock and induction charger that have yet to drop. At this point I won't wait for anything that is supposed to come from Verizon.

HAHA that absolutely will NOT work. First off, the first link is for a mini hdmi, not micro. Second, the second cable you posted only works with one particular video card, otherwise it will not work.
You cannot simply just convert hdmi (digital) to s-video (analog) with a cable. You need a downconverter, and they are not cheap.

i know htc sells usb to s-video for certian phones.. i found the cables on amazon. can i go usb to s-video instead on the evo?
Oh my bad. I thought there was only one smaller than regular hdmi...I'm not a video expert but they must make these "converters" to smash hopes and dreams because anyone who thinks logically would have thought the same as me.
But from what I know of home audio systems...if you by chance had a home theater receiver with hdmi inputs, you could theoretically use any video out associated with your input(but since I have yet to own an hdmi capable receiver idk if they downscale)

No, only certain phones support that feature, the evo does not.

Yea, some receivers will downconvert from hdmi to composite/svideo, but i'm not sure which ones will do that.

Audio dock?

Hello everyone have any of you have any idea of a dock that has speakers?
Basically I want to charge my phone while having external speakers. Any good brand recommendations? Budget is around $100.
Don't care much about design but rather the audio quality.
Thanks in advance!

Soundfreaq Sound Kick. Its Bluetooth but has USB to charge your phone. It can even charge your phone when it isn't plugged in via its own rechargeable battery. Sound is terrific for a 99 dollar speaker. Its even well made.
Online or target of all places.

Yea man tough luck. Seems like a niche market, came from the Iphone and it seems that there are a lot of such alternatives on the Iphone and much less on the Samsung s3.

an alternative would be to buy a DAC and a docking station and then connect the dock to the DAC via micro usb in the docking station, but that would result in not charging the phone, and dont know if it would work with usb host trough the docking station
a nice way to do it would be buying a wireless charging kit, a bluetooth reciever or a bluetooth speaker, then using tasker (i dont know if this can be done as i dont use tasker) to automaticly connect to the bluetooth reciever or speaker, then you have a VERY nice way of listening to you music while charging
sorry for my bad english, hope you get the point

To connect to a DAC, you need the USB-OTG cable. There are a few on eBay that do include a third connection on the cable, specifically for charging.
Thanks for the suggestions. Shall search around for the USB-OTG cable. New to all these things though so shall need to search around the Internet a bit in order not to blast anything up haha.
Really helpful people here. Appreciate all of the replies given.

Compatible Samsung Dock?

So far there's not a Dock available for the note but I've found this two that maybe work, they're for the GS2-3-4. Obviously they're narrow because are designed for cellphones but who knows if they do the trick for the note. If someone has one and tried on their note, please let us know how it turned out.

I dont believe they work, they were discussed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476495
I can confirm that the dock I use for my Note 2 does indeed work with my 2014 Note 10.1.
http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Mul...Galaxy-S2-Galaxy-Note-II-Black-MCH-I9500-01A/
The dock fits my Note 2 while still in the case, yet seems to be fairly stable holding the much thinner tab w/o one. Fairly cheap too at $6.71, $2 less than I paid for it.
While you're at it, pick up the BT speakers: http://t.rs-tk.com/t.aspx/subid/186...hone-Intelligent-Voice-Speaker-Red-MINS-597B/
The speakers are reviewed here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...ble-bluetooth-speaker-tvc-mall-lots-pics.html
Good.. Thanks, I think the first one I posted looks like it has a more longer area to hold the note... Didn't decide yet but now that you tried one helps a lot, thanks.
I have a similar Altec speaker, thanks anyway..

can you show us a picture of the tablet docked? I want to see how precarious it looks
Anyone tried the "New Single Desktop Sync Charger USB Dock For Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" on ebay?
It can hardly not work since it looks like the USB is just passthrough.. but the question is how well the tablet sits in it..
Sorry, can't post a link yet..

Here you go. Sorry, I was out of town for the weekend.
It's usable, but tap it super hard and it'll go over backwards. I wouldn't be afraid to charge it this way or do some light reading if you're careful, but it works much better with my Note II.
I'm using the Belkin Charge & Sync Dock for Galaxy S4.
Although it does work as a charger and stand for the note 10.1 2014, it wasn't really designed for it. You probably wouldn't want to do any heavy table use while it's on the stand, and it is not the easiest thing to slide the tablet onto the micro-usb jack.
I search almost weekly for a really good dock. One that is like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z would be perfect, if it had a usb jack in the middle/bottom.
This is looking more promising, I've just sent off for it...will let you know how it performs when it arrives.

It's much much more stable than this one for S3/S4 (I have it too)
Besides of that it has a movable and shock absorbing part with connector. See pic.1

Hi Lads & Lasses,
Quick Update on the dock I sent off for.
The dock holds the tablet securely & it's very stable, the pics show it connected up to the mains via usb cable & charging the tablet & no problems, but I noticed when when connected to the PC via usb data transfer is no problem but it doesn't charge, this may be a prob for some users..but it's one which I personally can live with especially for the price.
Hope this helps!!!
