If you have it stood up, does it stand the correct way to watch Netflix? Reason I ask is because it would raise it up backwards and the screen would be upside down. (Netflix doesn't auto rotate properly)

I walk by J&R everyday, I may have to take a trip inside to check it out.
Did you notice if they have the USB and/or SD 30-pin adapters in stock?

thanks njfoses!
Works great so far, will be good if I get the samsung case that had the upside down problem.

The case I got from provantage stands up correctly.

I thought all of the samsung cases caused tab to be upside down in one of the positions?
at least that is what many are saying in the thread dedicated to that case.

It will be upside down in the typing position with the samsung book case I have. I've heard there's new ones which are the other way... which will make the tablet upside down when in the multimedia viewing position.
I have the original version and like it a lot. All of the other non-samsung cases just look cheezy.

What do you mean by "correctly". Upside-down on typing mode or viewing mode?

Upside down on on typing mode, and power buton and headphone jack on top on multimedia mode.

That's exactly the same layout as the other 3 model numbers floating around. Meaning that there is ONLY ONE version of this case. The version you mentioned.

Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]

Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]
Basically rather large medley showing many of the connection options available for the Galaxy S3, make sure to use the nav links in the video description to get around the vid:
Note: Since the video I also got NOVA 3 on my S3 and playing it via MHL on my HDTV with a PS3 controller over bluetooth (every bit as freaking sweet as it sounds). Anyone want a guide?
[UPDATE] Demo and guide for playing NOVA 3 wirelessly via a PS3 controller, much better experience (especially on an HDTV and with a home theatre system connected!). Until you've made videos where you control the game by viewing it through the viewfinder in your camera please refrain from being too critical about how badly I suck

Ya sure a guide would b much appreciated

Yep, it's the one that is specific to the S3 (11 pin set-up, rather than 5 like the older ones - I have two of those so I'm annoyed about the change too).

Do you know if you can use a 2.4ghz wireless air fly mouse/keyboard combo while the phone is hooked up to HDTV through mhl? If so, what would I need besides the mhl adapter? USB hub?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Just tried an unpowered 4 port USB hub with a 32gb flash drive connected and the phone crashed and rebooted.

Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Yep, S3 is my daily (still love my Note though). Will get the Note 2 for sure and totally respect holding out for it.
Understand what you're saying about the keyboard thing and MHL, will take a look and find some suitable ones for you.

Wow, now that is impressive. I can't believe how much you can do with the S3, simply amazing. The S3 kicks all other "smart" phones back to the dark ages . Another vote for a numptys guide please, first time smart/droid phone user here. Or I will be if my phone ever turns up

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.

Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.

[request] Cute pink alarm clock docking station

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!

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.

In-Flight (USB/Dock) Keyboard for Note

I just realized one thing I'll miss about my Transformer is having a physically connected keyboard that I can use while travelling by plane. From what I've read Bluetooth keyboards are a no-no for in flight usage. Has anyone used a USB connected mini-keyboard using the Samsung USB adapter? I also know Samsung will be coming out (from what I've read here) with a keyboard dock but it's not available yet. I thought I also read somewhere that the Tab 10.1 dock will work with the Note 10.1.
Has anyone had any luck or a good setup for using an in-flight keyboard setup for the Note 10.1?

Hello.

Exactly. Might not be BT but anything wireless shouldn't be used in flight.

Ok, I know everyone will probably gag on this but...
As I was reading this thread, I went upstairs and obsconded (kids dont use it, WTH) the WII Usb KB and connected it. Works fantastic!
If you have one laying around... it may solve your want.

I picked up the official Samsung keyboard dock last week, it works nicely for that purpose!
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/...es/EKD-K14AWEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
Unfortunately, it's expensive and not available in most stores yet. Picked it up from the Samsung store in Sydney CBD.
Just so you know, Australia and USA both use the US keyboard layout (as opposed to the UK, which uses the UK layout), so maybe that could help you guys in the states source one of these? You won't have a messed up layout like you would ordering from the UK. Then again, I don't know any Australian place offering these for shipping internationally so that could be moot.

Very frustrating to not have these available for purchase in the US.

Is it possible to close it? Like the transformer or a regular laptop? Dont feel like not being able to close it..
An extra battery would be nice though incase of very long flights or train/car rides..

It doesn't hinge so you can't "fold" it closed like a regular laptop. Instead you just pull it out of the dock.

I know it has been discussed but I wanted to share my work. Not beautiful but it works. This is the dock for the Tab 10.1 modified for use with my Note 10.1

Couple of ROM's in the development section with multitasking already working, it's very handy!

Coldfustion has quite a few great videos on his YouTube channel. One of which is a how to on how to set up your note the way he has it set up. It's more of a how to for go launcher than anything. But it's very helpful. His review of the new Apple iPod was even entertaining, as he references is no note 2. LoL!

Yeah, I have my note 2 setup like his and people are blown away on how I did it. I am using most of his wallpapers so the phone's background never is the same. He is pretty artistic in the way he has everything setup.

That's awesome! Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I see, everything he's using is native, there's no special software except that floating browser software. Then obviously the hardware (adapter, mouse, keyboard).
Does anybody know what UI he's got?

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.

Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.

Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.

Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.

Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.
I wonder where he got the tripod or phone holder for the Note 2. . .

Yeah, can't wait to play all my games on the big screen, Arcane Legends, NFS MW, Shadow Gun Dead Zone !!

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.
