So my friend has gotten her gs3 and just wants as much pink stuff for it as possible. So she has asked me to help her find an alarm clock/pink/charging station for her. I know that they have plenty of these kind of things for IOS but I need something for the gs3. Can anyone suggest anything?
I have not seen any, aside from one on amazon.. that is actually universal, but has mostly all bad reviews, due to being VERY unstable.
if you want want now, i would say get one, and get some paint, add some gems, and call it custom!

Im actually very close to doing just that haha I was also thinking, is there such thing as a converter for the dock so it can be used with android devices?

I have never seen one... unless you have skills with a dremel, can form new plastic (to make holes smaller) and soldering (to wire in a resistor to trigger "dock mode") wanted to gut an iPhone one, and put in a USB, plug... and at that point, since the S3 is larger.. nevermind. lol.
It would be easier to start one from scratch.... but that is how you win cool points.

My first tablet. Have always loved the Tab so I decided to splurge. I've been browsing this section and have some ideas of what I MAY like, but I am a sucker for peoples suggestions...
Is a case even needed? I've been debating this... if it is, is the Pyro Skins considered the best? I did not see many photos of the cases on the site. Considering this VIPERTEK one also since it is the highest rated on Amazon (LINK)
I hate screen protectors... I believe the tab has gorilla glass.. assuming this is not needed?
I should be getting the tab next week.... best method of connecting to the TV for watching hulu/youtube? I was surprised there was no HDMI....
hate if you want... I have/will continue reading threads. To those who offer good suggestions, thank you. Things change... there are always new/better products.
EDIT.... being my first tablet, if there are any must have apps, I'd appreciate that too.
Get a good case, and a nice SGP screen protector, cheap insurance.
Ended up ordering the pyro - black carbon fiber. Really wanted the red, but they were out. The SP in my opinion is not needed, I would think... Gorilla glass.
Gorrilla glass isn't all it's cracked up to be...

My tab is taken to the task by my 6 year old and myself. No issues whatsoever with the glass. Looks like new.
You want to get a usb adapter, then you can plug in your phone to your tab and cameras, flash drives and stuff like that, I go one for about ₤2.70, like $4.00.

Nobody tells jokes in your houses? Jeebus.
Nice choice for cover - I've got the same one (I'm not sporting a SP either)
Aside from the cover, like beta546 mentioned, I have the OTG USB adapter ($7 on ebay).
Finally, if you're not running or planning on running a Pershoot Kernel based ROM, then you should get/make the 'Any USB Charger' adapter so you don't always have to keep the Samsung charger around for when you need it.
App wise I'd recommend the following:
XDA Developers Forum App (haha, no-brainer there)
ColorNote
MX Video Player
Skitch
RealCalc
Skype
Ultrachron Lite
Password Safe Lite
ES File Explorer
Advanced Task Killer
LED Light (widget)
Oh, and if you do custom ROM your tab (highly recommended!) Then I suggest you get a ROM with Polaris Office in it ... or just find the apk on the forums.
I would also recommend some widgets like
Hd widgets
App Stack
Circle launcher
Android taskbar
You may know some of those but I think they make my tab look great
Oooooooo and thumb keyboard, it is brilliant for typing :-D
^ awesome. Have been wondering about that one. I picked that up when it was free on Amazon... have not installed it yet (waiting on a tablet). I am a huge Swype fanboy... will try and break my ways. THanks for all of the suggestions man.
apps
BS player or Mizuu player is awesome for videos
Titanium backup and titanium media sync (if rooted)
Dropbox or sugar sync
Dolphin browser
I second the thumb keyboard
If you want a really fast rom and pershoots kernal check out taskers 7.x rom over in developers section. It is awesome!!!!! Made whole tablet a completely better experience

i second b00sted's themes. they are sweet!
in the same situation with s15274n
also using that case.
was wondering where is a good place to look into to start doing custom ROM to my tablet and my nexus s?
do they really offer something great for the hours I will be spending on reading them?
^ rooting and flashing the Tab is crazy easy. Check the dev section for the guide on rooting (it is not a sticky thread for some reason).
I ended up flashing Tasks 7.0 and was LOVING it.... my device is being sent in for warranty so I returned it to stock.... already missing it!!

Almost out of stock though.
I prefer my Verbatim one. It's pretty much full size when you unfold it.

Ummmm for other uses it'd be great maybe.... but didn't you read the last line?
"Note: This keyboard does not work with Android phones"
I have that keyboard and I can confirm it does work just fine. Older Android phones did not have HID support which is probably where that warning comes from. Our phone does have native HID support and it works beautifully. I even made a thread about it a while back.

Thanks. Now, notice how that S3 goes into the Tablet UI? With no modifications to the firmware. We need to find out how to enable that independently of docking.

I would assume its because its displaying on the laptop dock which has a larger screen and smaller DPI. You can force your S3 into the tablet UI by simply lowering your pixel density, but then everything is so small.

Yeah, but I mean w/o manually editing the DPI. Like a toggle or something built in to ROMs. Would be kinda cool, at least IMO. Especially if someone already has an MHL adapter and plugs it up to their HD TV.

Shut up and take my money!!!
I've been waiting for something like this since I bought my iPod Touch 2g back in 2008. The Atrix would have been nice, but laptop dock was ridiculously overpriced, and only available on AT&T.
Has anyone been able successfully find anything else on these? I have been searching high and low and have yet to find it.

Im going to South Korea this Monday so I'll visit a KT shop and see.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What i would want to see from a device like this is an integrated dock for the phone. Let's say I'm on a plane or a train, i dont want cables between two devices, i would want my phone to clip into the netbook somehow. Maybe on the back of the screen? Or even better, screen up, in next to the trackpad flush with the keyboard, with the Capability to use it as an auxiliary screen. Or why not use the phone itself AS the trackpad?
Even still, as it is now, I'd buy it.

Goddamnit. Subscribed to this thread a long time ago. Saw that someone finally replied. Got my hopes but nope. Nothing to see here. Move along people.
Is there a way to make it so if you have one of your fingers touching the screen doesn't register it like on the Ipad?

Do you mean like locking the screen so it won't register input? I dunno but what's the purpose of this? Just so I can think a bit about it. I don't see the use and can't imagine why you would disallow one finger input. :0

Like when I hold the tablet in portrait mode with one hand, my thumb sometimes clicks things or makes it so I can't click on anything because of the thin bezels on the sides. I heard the iPad mini has something that fixes this problem.

O sh*t, ye I understand your trouble on this. I'm afraid I dunno. I can try and see when I get home. If the feature is called by a name on iPad, one should be able to google that name and then finish with android, but I won't do research thru me tablet. But I'll try and look around mate.

Can't find a name, can only find mention of the feature in iPad Mini describingly. Tried a few searches. Seems like some people comment on this, the Android have been doing it for a while, but from manufacturers. Samsung and Motorola seems to be doing it. Can't find any universal app and no one mentions name of apps that does it on their android devices. It's probably coded into the specific stock rom. Other mentions that it is fairly hit an miss that it works.
For now, no dice. - Sorry.
