Hi xda friends.
I'm wondering if there are any universal "game grips" on the market that would work with our Android toys. It seems there are nearly a hundred of these floating around for iPhones, but I've yet to see any that would work for our larger screens. Attached are some examples of what I'm talking about (bottom pic minus the controls).

Never seen those things before, but they could be really useful! Many type of games are simply unplayable with a touchscreen only. I at least have a real hardware-keyboard on my Sony Xperia Mini Pro, so this is an improvement to regular smartphones at least. But a real grip and gamepad-like buttons would make gaming much better.

This one looks awesome!
GameKlip with a PS3 controller
Not bad as well If you have the applicable smartphone at least. I don't like the solution with extra cases and adhesive tape for other devices though...
Yeah, PS3 doesn't work with the DNA. Rooted/sixaxis or not. I have a gameklip and it sits unused.

Actually, I don't think "Game Grips" is useful...

Hi all, what's the answer of the Samsung girl for the question :...this becoming to other samsung product?

Looking forward to this, with an all you can eat data plan on three I'll be able to send as much iplayer and sky as I like to my TV. I'm a student you see so it'll be a cheap way to steam media and games (replace my console?!)

will this adapter work with other devices, as in connecting a samsung laptop to a hdtv. rather than it just being for galaxy s3 to another device?
For the £80 it costs, you might as well buy one of the Samsung smart Blu-ray players on e-bay, also including all share compatability. Not that I need a blu-ray player, but at least it wont be potentially obselete in a year when i upgrade, plus I'd probably use the streaming functions.
Yeah, I have a Philips BDP which has Simply Share, and that will take care of any movies, music or photo's from the SIII
But.
The Samsung dongle will allow you to mirror the SIII on to your TV and play games using the SIII as a controller, which is kind of neat, not sure its 80 beer tokens worth of neat though.

I think it will be SIII specific.

Does the dongle need the Power or takes from the hdmi?
I'm pretty sure it needs power
Does it use the direct wifi or needs a router?

think of it like this... its like an external keyboard and monitor, except it's put together...
that's what i think of it
all it does is provide a bigger screen and keyboard plus battery when you dock your s3 via cable.
no processor or ram as cpu and memory is borrowed from your s3. probably why they can sell it for an "affordable" price.
definitely not a laptop. if I remember correctly, it's only compatible with s3 at the moment, though they night release future models with wider compatibility

Hi can anyone help me with something.
I have an galxy s3, and i want an rca,s-video(with 3 outputs 2X audio L R and 1 Video) cabble for my navigation in the car, the navi in the car is kinda of old and uses rca so i cant use Hdmi.Can someone tell me what cabble i can use? ty verry much
I've never seen anything like that. Good luck finding it.
You could possibly try using an HDMI to analog converter if any such thing exists.
Can't guarantee it would work, even if you somehow fangled it together.
Probably just time to upgrade your car stereo nav system.
Look into the Pioneer App Radio 2. There is an app you can buy that will mirror whatever is on your GS3 onto the Pioneer's LCD screen and it's touch capable. It uses HDMI from the GS3 into the Pioneer.
About $350 on eBay for the Pioneer.
well this is a bummer ty allthough, i've tryd with nokia ca-75u cabble but nothing i will search maybe i will find something, because 350 $ are too much given that i ve bought the navi couple of months ago.
if someone did it please tell me,TY
This was interesting. I'd never heard of it before.
Sounds like the International GS3 can do video output through the headphone jack? LOL wtf.

Also, try googling the phrase "composite video". That is what the type of video connection you're referring to is correctly termed as.

Hi there gnex conunity , i'm planning to upgrade to a gnex Phone , my question is because some guy claims that he haves a gnex that google gives to their employees, could it be a scam? The pictures shows an gnex battery backdoor with some painting like it was some sort of circuits with a little android, now assuming that the above mentioned is in fact possible, would be any kind of trouble for me to use it as a regular gnex?
I have done a little research but none of the designs match the one he posted (see attached file)

I've searched online and haven't had much luck finding a comparison of a rooted fire TV box and the many available android HDMI sticks/dongles/boxes that are based on the RK3188/RK3288 SOC platform.
I plan on cutting the cord from my cable company next month and want the best performance and app compatibility, I've found great deals on both options, but would like some feedback about the pros and cons of each.
If anyone has any helpful insight it would be gratefully appreciated!
The stick devices have unusable wifi and Bluetooth. I used a usb to Ethernet dongle and the device is cheaply made and overheats.sits in a drawer now. Not sure of box devices. Happy with ftv for 4 months now

Yeah I know the earler versions of the sticks had wifi issues but from what I have read the latest versions have resolved all of those issues.
Apparently I can't post links yet, but if you google CS928 RK3288 you will see which box I am considering.
Agreed. Mk3s and mk4 with mk4 based on rk3188. Riko magic remote purchased too. Remote came broken and Alibaba had 3 day return policy and I went away for weekend. and rikomagic people did not answer. 3 products purchased and complete disgust with that name brand. Buyer beware
Well you know what they say... you get what you pay for. This is cheap Chinese crap made with cheap Chinese garbage processors.

Okay thanks for the info. Riko Magic is not the brand I am considering RK3188/RK3288 are made by RockChip and are just the SOC (system on a chip) component of the overall device. The box I am considering had nothing at all to do with Riko Magic.
What I am really interested in is the performance difference in the Fire TV's Qualcomm Quad Core Krait 300 CPU and the Quad-Core Cortex-A17 CPU found in the RK3288 SOC and how they perform in the Android OS environment.

Well I can get the Fire TV for about half the price as the CS928 so would that mean the Fire TV is worse?

I just found one for $110 (http://dealsprime.com/mini-pc/cs928-android-4-4-tv-box.html). I'm not quite sure how that's twice as much... But the statement not only applies to actual price but the fact that you are either buying a quality product from an American company or some crap slapped together by some fly by night chinese company.

Yeah I can get a Fire TV for about $55 with a coupon. I'm not really concerned about the country of origin as opposed to the performance of the components. Thanks for your opinion, but I am looking for someone who might have first hand knowledge/experience with these two exact products.

I have the CS918S set top with the built in Camera and it is a solid performer. I also have a couple UG007B that work perfect and they are half the price of the FTV.
Even with good performance they still can't compete with the hardware in the FTV.
But with the A31 and RK3188 is you can easily find or make a ROM or make your own. I have done a couple of the sticks for friends with modified boot images and deodexed rooted systems.
I bought a minix X8-H at the same time that I bought a FireTV, one box for me and one for my folks. Overall it's a very nice unit and has been rock solid, which is better then my past experiences with the chinese boxes. It's not as buttery smooth as the FTV but it's more then adequate. Having 3 USB ports and an airmouse out of the box is nice as well.
The only big gap I found between the two is that the Netflix performance on FTV is far better. Even with many tweaks I could never get HD working on the Minix. That was enough for me to go with FireTV in the end.

I tried the Keedox® M8 Amlogic S802 Quad Core Cortex A9r4 2.0GHz. On paper it looks like it should compare well and was $85 at the same time the fire TV was on sale for the same. The M8 just wasn't as smooth so I went with the fireTV and returned the M8.
Qualcomm Krait300 (snapdragon600)/Areno320 processors beat Rockchip3188/Mali400 hands down.
In 3D performance up to 3 times faster, in general use little over half as fast as the FireTV.
All the top phones and tablets are based on nextgen snapdragon 800 or sgx in different variations.
It clearly seems to be the top SoC along with SGX(or apple)/PowerVR.
It also gives most performance per watt, RockChip isent really designed the same way that's why you don't see them in phones/tablets they use more power and run hotter.
.
Btw. I tested this with a few benmarking tools such as linpack, 3dmark, etc
Another strong appeal is feel, And it's first android box i've been able to call: a firm stable android-streaming platform. Ofcause it also has a very steady background with big key players and developers.

dont have a rk3288, but i have a rk3188 (and a rk3088).. vs firetv there is no competition, firetv wins in all aspects. hopefully they made huge improvements on rk3288 but i doubt it will be worth the usual chinese problems (bad antenas, bad roms, faulty hardware, no support, misleading hardware (selling you a rk3188 but actually getting a rk3188T which is a crappier made soc) etc...)
plus the firetv is actually cheaper (guess they want to buy the market XD )
