Is there a similar dock for the note/tab tablets to the dock that Samsung made for the Note II phone? It has USB connectors, video out, audio out, and charging power in. It's a full desktop/media style dock. I believe that all of the pins are there in the 30ish pin connector, but I haven't found anything like it (and I've searched).
Here is what I use on my note 10.1. Had to trim the Holder to fit my device .. it works perfect. on stock and Custom gnobo rom. I have used other non stock roms in the past with it as well with no issues.

Thanks. I've seen that one and another HDMI dock people are modifying. I'm looking for a dock that has charging, USB host ports, audio out, and HDMI out. I don't think it exists, even though all of the necessary pins are probably there. Samsung made one for the Note II. Oh well.

So I just bought the GSM galaxy nexus from the play store (waiting to be shipped). I am seeing all of these car dock issues not having the POGO ect. My Epic 4G touch car dock uses the USB for music and charging (AUX and chargers plugs in back). Does anyone know if the usb with these types of docks will plug into other phones like this one and still get sound and power from the Dock? If so it might be worth looking into a mod? Just curious if this has already been discussed?
im sure it would work just fine if you managed to mod it precisely. personally i felt like the dock caused some wear on the usb port which is y i loved the idea of the pogo pins.
So I switched from a Motorola Xoom, which I have loved, to a modern, lighter, Note 10.1 from Costco.
I immediately rooted via Darkman's method.
What I really liked about the xoom was the HDMI adapter and OTG.
I travel a lot and being able to hook up to a hotel TV and stream Netflix or episodes of shows has been great.
I found the lack of HDMI port and 30 pin rather frustrating.
Anyways, these are the accessories that I bought and here are my comments:
Samsung Electronics Book Cover for Galaxy Note 10.1-Inch, White (EFC-1G2NWECXAR)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Galaxy-10-1-Inch-EFC-1G2NWECXAR/dp/B008X46QTO
Review: Great Case. I like the white for my white tablet. I know the camera is not useable with cover on easily, but the magnetic and antislip hold in the 2 positions has been great. In my opinion this case comes the closest to an ipad cover without actually being an ipad cover. The magnetic hold had not affected my S Pen and the cover is skinny and great texture to hold. Worth the $50 IMHO.

Review: The first one did not work, the little button broke and the seller on Amazon sent me a free one, it had worked great so far and I have been able to transfer files back and forth including moves and pictures without a problem. Kind of bulky, and I fear it will break off if any abnormal pressure is applied, but for $4.99 I paid for it it was well worth it to just have around.

Review: Now this is interesting. I was pissed off that it didn't work the first time. I read the instruction and realized that you need to have the power connected to the HDMI adapter for it to work.. The Note will detect the adapter, but the TV would not unless power is supplied to it. Which is very frustrating compared to the Xoom. I was used to mini HDMI out on Xoom that worked without external power. Now here is the silver lining. You do not need to use the Samsung 2A adapter, I used a 0.5A USB port on the TV and it works, I used a 1A iPhone charger and it worked! The super-silver lining is that generic 0.5A and 1A adapters which cannot usually charge the Note directly, do actually charge the note when connected though the HDMI adapter, even when not connected to an HDMI TV. Can I a get a Hallelujah! Fogetting my Note 2A adapter at home is not an issue, specially when I can run USB and HDMI straight to the TV!!

Review: Great to match my HDMI cable so the Xoom can be 6ft away from the TV.
Lastly, I had a left over Xoom screen protector which I cut around the front camera are and stuck on the Note screen and it works fine with the S-Pen, no bubbles. In other words generic screen protectors work and you dont have to buy a special S Pen friendly one.
Thanks for this post. Just added all this to my wish list
Yea. Thanks for the tips.
Didn't like the 30 pin connector and was concerned about the HDMI connection. Your post helped.
very useful tips，thank you.
thank you for your recomendation
I noticed that the Note 2 has a Smart dock with HDMI out and 3 usb ports, does anything like this exist for the "One"
Here is the one I am talking about for Samsung from Samsung:

I just bought a dock, andan MHL adapter off ebay. I already have an alarm clock with a micro-usb dock by my bed for charging, so I was going to use these to make a multimedia dock for my TV. You can power the MHL adapter so that it draws less power from the phone, but as far as I know it can't actually charge the phone.
Since my account is new, I can't post links, here are the item IDs for the ebay items:

MHL adapter: 161009409501

Nothing quite like that dock, and I doubt it will be possible to have a dock like that with the One given I believe it uses a standard 5-pin MHL configurations, whereas the S3/Note 2 and S4 all use an 11-pin configuration (that Samsung specifically added to allow simultaneous USB OTG and MHL).
anything new about this? has anyone found some usb hub that has micro usb and normal usb out, so you could connect mhl to microusb, and lets say mouse and keyboard to other 2 usb ports.
I was wondering if anyone has come across a device they have tested or know allows the use of MHL and USB Host at the same time. I know this functionality is possible with the new 11-pin microUSB port seen on the Galaxy S3, Note II & S4.
- I know you can buy an all in one solution called the Samsung Smart Dock

But I'm looking for a cable as I want to be able to hold it in my hand as it's connected to the tv and have it in landscape mode instead of being stuck in a stiff dock with no ability to freely move it around to your liking.
- I know there is a thread to make your own cable

But I want a quality cable, preferably a mass produced one that is properly designed and sturdy.
Any ideas?

See the above link after reading this post. Basically, I have the Samsung Universal Smart Dock. It does work w/ my phone well in putting the screen onto an HD monitor. The problem with it is, though, I have a ZeroLemon extended battery, and with that, it will not fit on the dock. I'm going on vacation, soon, so I'd like to be able to mirror my phone onto my TV in my hotel room, which has an HD dock embedded into the furniture. I looked into a micro USB extension, but I believe in this case, there are more connectors on the smart dock than what is available on extension cords, therefore I may not see both audio and video.
That said, can I use a MHL cable (the one linked above) in place of the smart dock? I'm on the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Retail, KitKat, not rooted.
