I just pre-ordered the Note II through AT&T. After watching a couple unboxing videos online, I noticed the Note II comes in some ugly AT&T box and not the official box Samsung provides like they do with the international/Sprint/Tmobile models. Also, no headphones. At first I thought they were just demo units sent to reviewers but it appears that might not be the case? Did AT&T take away the box and headphones leaving us with just the phone and charger basically?
This isn't new for ATT at all. They did the same with the note 1 and almost every other phone. They have their orange box and now also their brown and green recycled boxes. Not sure about the headphones though. But really? Why fuss about a box?

It seems to be the case. If you go on the website it also lists what's in the box and earphones are not mentioned.

My ATT Note 2 is the same; orange box, no headphones. The most infuriating part is I got a white charger and white sync cable with a graphite phone.
I hope this isn't true makes me feel like I'm getting something that has already been opened.

Infuriating? Really? You are driven to fury by a white charger?
They all come with white chargers no matter what color your order.

They don't make a graphite charger and cable, but if it really pisses you off, here's your fix.

Yes, it feels like you're receiving a second hand product. Part of the fun is opening a sealed box and seeing the phone for the first time. Knowing AT&T has already handled the phone and removed the headphones is a bummer.
But at least they didn't stick their logo on the home button. :silly:
I don't care who touches the phone or who handled it first, just ship me the damn thing!!! Lol

I'm going to be using my Bluetooth LG Tone headset but why would they remove the headset out of the box? Makes no since what so ever
One thing alot of companies can copy from apple is the fact that they don't let carriers boss them around. Why would Samsung let this happen? Yes the headset that come with 99% of the phones out there suck ass, but at least you have them out of the box.
I opened a sprint gNote2 today at work. Headphones. I wouldn't have cared if every carrier took them out but I hope its not just ATT. Not that I don't have like 8 pairs of Sammy headphones its just the principle

Thats cause samsung let at&t repackage with the cheap at&t box. If it came packaged directly from samsung like the gs3 then we'd get the headphones. Jerks.
what the hell are they going to do with all those headphones
I think AT&T gets just the phone, charger, and manual? Cheaper for them to buy from Samsung without headphones
Mine arrives tomorrow. I will try to remember to post what kind of box and what was contained. And yes I prefer an oem style box instead of a rebox. Just personal preference. I want the box to match the maker. Also a pair of headphones I can give to the kids is not a bad thing.
Why are people so upset at not getting a pair of $5 headphones after buying a $300/$650 device?

Woo HOO, Got the FROYO Update this weekend! Not many changes that I have seen so far but I am glad to make at least this much progress.
Anyway, TV Out - Dag Nabbit!
First I bought the mini-jack to 3 RCA cable, tried it at home on THREE different televisions and it didn't work on any of them. THOUGHT the update would help, tried it again on the SAME 3 TVs and NOTHING. At least that cable was cheap!
Bought the MicroUSB to HDMI cable with HIGH HOPES, 45 bucks (Shipping Included) tried in on the SAME 3 TVs both BEFORE and AFTER the update to 2.2 and it didn't work either time or even TODAY!
The only setting I know of to change is the TV OUT in the SETTINGS menu. Which was turned on and since I am in NJ USA I used the NTSC (ATSC) Setting. Much to no avail. So, am I just REALLY good at wasting money or is it my phone OR is something else missing?
If MORE particulars are required let me know and I will provide them.
I got this phone BRAND NEW from T-Mobile in August of 2010, 5 months ago. I love the phone for it's display and all the working functions and apps. I DO NOT have a data plan, I use WiFi at home - works perfectly.
Thanks in Advance to all who may respond with something useful. Have a great Day (to all who respond period)!

Yeah, I have to flip the outside two plugs for mine. The middle, of course, should be switched with the other middle.
humm!
Dude has anybody ever made theirs work....I have been watchin for this since the phone came out but never seen anyone say it worked....I to have tried everything but didn't buy the hdmi......Tmo limits everything this phone can do....like rerouting our wifi calling to make sure it uses our minutes and the tethering they finally let us have now also adds additional charges to your bill. Good thing I can still run easytether free. But I really wish someone could help us get the TV OUT working...
Um.....TV Out works......If you're using a non-Samsung composite cable you'll need to swap the red and yellow connections most likely. I've had to do this with two different sets of tv-out cables (one for a Zune, one for a Sony camcorder)...
This is what I use and it works. Plug one end into the headphone jack and the Y/R/W into the exact color that they are on the TV.

Make sure that you buy a tv-out/av cable with long 3.5 jack, and with thin/small covering on top of it so that it fits right into the vibrant's 3.5mm hole and you actually hear it click. And yes, I use the red cable for video input instead of the yellow one.

From the pictures and video I have seen, I don't think it will work with a case on.... that being said nothing stopping ya from making alterations to the case to make it fit. It is plastic... I have one en-route and will also be getting a case as soon as I can decide on what one. Dock is cheap enough to risk being a bit creative.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
SIII naked is a tight fit.
SIII with a case is an absolute 'not happening'.
With that said, you can take a heat gun to the plastic arms of the Infuse case and bend them outwards. Doing this will let the SIII fit with a case on.
But whether or not it will "snap into place" as it does naked, or whether it retains the ability to hold it in place at all... is not something I can say for certain.
I do plan on trying it though. Just need to find the spare time.
Do you have a link to this thing online somewhere so I can see what you're talking about?
I believe I found the dock on AT&T's online shop, current price $17.99. I'd post the link, but I've got under 10 posts (this is my first) so that feature's disabled for me. Best I can do for the time being: /shop/wireless/accessories/cases/sku5190308.html
Very interesting, I'm considering grabbing one for my Verizon S3, because I currently have no car mount of any kind and have been looking through my options.
For those with one already:
Does this dock obscure the S3's headphone port at all?
General thoughts on build quality, windshield suction strength, etc.?
Are there any other decent car docks with comparable prices I might want to look at?

It's really sturdy with a GS3, suction is good as well. No vibrations even on at high speeds. Headphone port isn't obscured, although remember you can just use the audio out jack on the dock itself so that you don't have to fiddle with plugging/unplugging an aux cable in your car.
Got mine, now just waiting for my S3. Looks pretty nice for sure.

You just need to go into phone/settings/dock/ and enable audio-out through 3.5mm jack. Then connect a 3.5mm audio cable from dock to car stereo. You do not use the headphone jack on the phone. You use the port on the dock.
Or use bluetooth.

Just ordered mine as I couldn't source any in brick and mortars locally. $19 shipped 2 day air, can't beat that.
Edit, they just shipped it out not only the same day but they overnight shipped it. Not bad for $19

Just ordered one too. $19.25 shipped. Should be here some time this week.
Ok, I am a little bit ticked off right now.
I had a Nexus One. When I bought the N1 dock, it came very nicely packaged and with its own power cable AND audio cable. Its cost felt justified.
So, since I got my Galaxy Nexus I decided to order the dock for it.
I just got the dock (after waiting a week when it was 2 day shipping), I open the package and I pull out the cheapest flimsiest packaging ever. I pull out the dock (which does feel solid), and THAT'S IT! There is NO power cable and NO audio cable included. $68.xx for a freaking dock with NO cables.
I seriously feel like I've been ripped-the-****-off here.
I know their site says no audio cable included... so whatever, but to not include the charger either... that's pretty damn ****ty in my opinion.
I just thought I would vent here since I had not seen this mentioned any where else before.
Damn. At least throw in a cable!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Definitely! At least the car dock came with a lighter socket charger. I guess Samsung though it wasn't necessary/wanted to cheap out since we already have one from our phones. I'm more irritated by the fact that there's no way to manually turn off the screen when docked.
I thought the same thing when I opened my dock... I also had the nexus one and the dock... At least we got a second charger with that...
At least you can seek solace in the fact that the LTE dock is, for all intensive purposes, the same exact dock... for $90 and there still aren't any cables included. I actually bought the GSM dock for mine and sanded it down to fit my more portly LTE version because the price difference is bollocks in my opinion.

I buy the $1-2 headphones over ebay because i always end up using them or the little bulbs that go in your ears... as for chargers, I bought a car charger about 2 years ago and it's still working to this day.. Not OEM though...

BS. Those are all OEM. The first usb cable and cube is from the last gen of galaxy devices (galaxy sII, original Note) The headphones are from the current generation of galaxy devices as is the last charger.

I was referring to the quality of OEM earbuds... hence the quote, and by extension, all OEM accessories (that come in the box) are all fairly bad, they may look nicer, but they're not meant as standalone products and it shows in the quality.
Especially earbuds... those, you should look into getting some aftermarket ones...

That's the one you need. Authentic samsung made charger for the Note II. Oh and its 2A.
While searching the web re: info on the Pixel XL, I came across a YouTube unboxing Vid of a Pixel handset showing what in contains and more to the point what its dosnt contain ie "HEADPHONES". With the cost of these hands sets, one would have thought headphones would have been standard....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mNK-hDEFZw
Well, I saw the same video with headphones but they are not listed as an accessory on Googles webpage. Guess we will have to wait until the 20th to find out for sure.

The last time I used headphones included with a phone was never. The only reason I'd care is if there were no 3.5 mm headphone jack, then I'd want a pair of headphones or an adapter until I could get a better pair to use.

Had the same thought! I use them as toss around headphones. Not like I don't have others but dang I wanted to see how Google thought headphones should look... invisible I guess.
On the other hand my Note 7 came with a pretty decent set, changeable silicon thingys and all! Hopefully they don't melt down or explode tho...
Ok some EU countries insist phones must be sold with hands free option. It is aim to reduce accidents ... Don't know if it is effective.
It is in a similar way that some EU countries you not allowed to sell a bicycle without a bell and lights
In AU we get headphones. They are really nice too, am very happy with them. The ones that came with the Nexus 6P were similar to the Apple ones, and don't sit in my ear properly.
The "in-ear" ones that came with the Pixel have decent bass, and great response.
We didn't get headphones here in Canada either which I thought was ridiculous for the price. Other people say they don't use them but I would have as a cheap pair when k needed them.
Years ago I had a Samsung Galaxy Nexus , I believe that came with headphones . My guess on that would be it was due to the fact it was Samsung putting the headphones in the box , I could be wrong . The only headphones I ever really liked where the ones that came with my HTC M8 . I know the HTC wasn't a nexus device just demonstrating out of all the phones I have owned in the past only one pair I really cared for is all .
I would like to know who made the in ear monitors which are being sold here in India. No branding, nothing, just a white coloured IEM, haven't even used it, so can't speak for the sound quality.
