[Q] Dock Anyone? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Was wondering if anyone around these parts has given the $99 dock a shot. I was thinking that with hdmi and a couple usb ports it was worth every bit of what they are asking.
Responsiveness?
Quality?
Ease of use?
Mouse and keyboard connected helpful or a henderance, work at all?
Large sshd work with it?
Scaling on different resolution displays?

The s3 doc works nicely

Yeah thats great but they are not even close to similar! The only thing they have in common is that they are both called docks.

That was informative! I think I seen that review before but fell asleep about two minutes in so therefore did not remember watching it.
Thanks for the link.

Well not sure what you're definition of a dock is but. The s3 doc meets my definition very well

Not sure what your definition of Galaxy Note 2 is but your GS3 dock doesnt have anything to do with the Galaxy Note 2 dock but, thanks for sharing

The topic is docks not specifically the N2 dock. THE s3 doc works well for charging and the system recognizes that it was inserted into the doc. It has audio our too so I would say it is a N2 doc too.

Thanks for the heads up on using the S3 dock for the N2. I'm currently using the S2 dock with my E4GT, and will be much happier to pay $30 for the S3 dock, rather than $100 for the N2 dock. Personally, I doubt that I would use the HDMI or USB ports on the N2 dock anyway.

Exactly. Another benefit is that rhere is a special home screen that pops up when you put the phone in the cradle on the note 2 that allows you to launch your choice of apps that to run when docked

Wireless charger

Who is dying to buy the wireless charger as soon as it becomes available?
I know it one feature i love the most from the palm pre and I'm glad its coming from stock to the galaxy s 3, but like when I tried to hack the epic 4g with the wireless charger it was messing with the compass, I'm wondering how its going to be? And if that's going to mess with the nfc too.
And will they have a wireless charger car kit?
I know these are questions many will not answer but basically I'm curious to know.
I am looking forward to the wireless charger.
I am interested to see how it will work and perform. I think there might be performance issues and maybe cause overheating. Hopefully no exploding phones.
If it works even decently ill get one lol

Samsung Wireless Charging Kit
Here's a pic:
I am, I just don't wanna pay more then 60 bux or so. I was in the uk s3 forum and there is a few guys that have modded a palm touchstone and powermat to work with the phone. Might go that way since it would be cheaper.
As long as it isn't too expensive i'm buying it.
Agreed
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'm curious to know if the official samsung wireless charger will work in the same way/better than the powermat. Since I already have a powermat this (powermat/solutions/wicc/ ) may be a cheaper deal and a good alternative to the official samsung product.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA
Yeah, i am hoping its better than the powermat...and that two or three phones can charge at the same time on it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
On the preview it looked like one phone could barely fit
You might be able to squeeze 2

15$ hdmi dock and charger

Hey guys all I could find for hdmi adaptors were 50$ here in canada. Did some reading bought this galaxy tab dock for 15 $. It has a mini hdmi out which is great, cable was 15$ for 6ft. Everything works great. I cut the side edges out and put some felt tabs on the adaptor. Put a piece of hockey tape on it after. Tablet doesnt move. No fear of too much pressure on the connector. Works great as desktop stand and for mirroring on tv. Bought it on amazon. I know its a little rough but it was just to see if it worked ill clean up the edges later

$12.95 w/free shipping here in the states on Ebay for the HDMI Multimedia Galaxy Tab 7.0 Desktop Charger Music Dock.
I may get one and use a table saw to cut the ends off of the unit like you did.

Stylus pen for GS3

Hey gang, this may be a dumb question but I was wondering if I buy a stylus pen would it work for the GS3? the thing is that I wanted to get the GN2 but not enough money. I draw a lot and saw the capabilities of having this feature on the GN2 so I was wondering if I get a pen would it work for the GS3.
Have you googled it? I'm sure if it is capable it will be searchable.
Sent from my AT100 using xda premium
Yes it will work.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Any stylus pen will work. You can buy them for about a couple of bucks from amazon.
Better yet Samsung make special pen just for galaxy s3 called "C pen". It has smaller tip like S-pen for G-note. It's $30 but if you register with Samsung, they will send you 50% off coupon.. But you can get from amazon too for $15.. Here is the search result link. Also Samsung link...

+1. Its not ideal unless the app you are using support fine line pen width like in sketch app.. But I still use stylus to keep my screen clean because I work with oil..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Thanks everybody. I even tried to take my GS3 back after a month to trade with the GN2 but no can do. I will try out the C-Pen and hopefully that'll work.
Its just that I draw a lot and especially in my anatomy class. I use those pictures to study while I'm at work. I wish I got the GN2. I got the GS3 because it was on sale, dang it. But I still love my GS3. Best phone for me coming off the Thunderbolt.
You should read some of the reviews on YouTube and Amazon before you plunk money into it. The general consensus is that it isn't very good especially for the price paid.

mostly won't work, probably designed for note1, not compatible with note2.
you need one with 11 pins.
just search Samsung HDMI adaptor, if it said for galaxy s3, then it will works!
galaxy s3 also is 11 pins.
So this would work then?

yes, it should works if you buy BOTH of them.
but I would suggest buying Samsung brand,
I have a Samsung brand and it works!
maybe better video quality too.
or you can get the allshare hub, stream it to HDTV wireless!

Dock + case

I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.
I found these two on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NFNQWM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6U7LGCOJZZG2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.

I wonder if I my S3 would fit in it too, or maybe they have a smaller one!
Almost positive I'll be going with the Myrin. The one for the Note 2 would for my S3! That'd be great to have them both at work.
