[Q] Samsung Desktop Dock Compatibility Question - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is Galaxy S desktop dock compatible with Nexus S (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-SAMSUNG...n_0&var=&hash=item6fc3da00b2#ht_3508wt_1145)?

Does it matter whether it's from T-Mobile Galaxy S or Verizon Galaxy S, for example?
I suppose it will because it uses same pin, but I'm wondering if it will fit because perhaps both phones may have different location of charging pin (I don't know)..
Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy Note 10.1 3G or Other?

Okay, so I have this idea I have been toying with. I want to get a new phone but there are other things I would like to get as well. Among these other things is a laptop and something to make it more convenient to make art. I am on a tight budget at the moment and because of this, I can't get everything all at once.
Because of its artistic capabilities, the Samsung's Note series have appealed to me. The interesting question is, with the creation of the Galaxy Note 10.1 and it's new ability to have multiple screen capabilities, I could in theory get the 3g version of the 10.1 and I would basically have a phone, a laptop, and something I could draw with. I would however have to lug around a tablet everywhere I go and will be forced to use a bluetooth device or earbuds to talk to people.
However, I visited the Microsoft store nearby and was impressed by their Surface RTs. I asked around and found out the new and upcoming Surface Pros will have a wacom digitizer in it. Along with this, it will also be able to run windows 7 programs as if it were a computer. This, however, is theorized to be released in January.
So here are the combinations I have been thinking about:
1
Galaxy Note 2
Laptop (I would be getting this much later)
2
Galaxy Note 10.1 3g
3
Galaxy Note 10.1 Wifi
Cheap phone
4
Surface Pro
Cheap phone
Basically, the big question is, will using a tablet as a phone be inconvenient enough to outweigh the benefit of consolidating all of your devices into one device. If I do, I would have to carry the tablet in a backpack or something else everywhere I go, including if I decided to go to a run at the store or dinner at some restaurant.
I also have a cheap dumb phone that I have temporarily until I get a replacement. I could just use thit as my main phone just for calls and just use a wifi tablet for all of my "smart phone" needs; I personally think it is extremely redundant and pointless to have a powerful smartphone and a tablet at the same time.
So, should I just use the traditional phone and laptop? Is using a the 3g galaxy note 10.1 too inconvenient to use a phone and an all in 1 device? Should I just use my current dumb phone and just get the wifi galaxy note 10.1? Or should I wait for Microsoft's Surface Pro and just use the dumb phone as my calls?
What are all of your thought?

Galaxy Note II accessory with Nexus 4

I was browsing accessories trying to find something that would let me use the Nexus as a desktop replacement, something like the Atrix. I am ordering the Slimport to HDMI "www(dot)anandtech.com/show/6499/hands-on-with-the-analogix-slimport-microusb-to-hdmi-and-vga-adapters", but was looking for something a little more dock-ish. I came across this dock for the Galaxy Note II "www(dot)slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-smart-dock-turns-phablet-into-desktop-31255000/" and I'm curious if this would work, or any reason it wouldn't work as I assume it hasn't been tried. It appears to be the same port in the proper location to hold the device. Could the Nexus support usb devices (keyboard/mouse), what about using a thumb drive or external HD with a dock like this?

[Completed] [Q] About 4.5", front "home button", Top model - SII i9100 replacement

Hi
I'm looking for a SII i9100 4,3" Android phone replacement
Must Have:
front Home button (my bike phone holder blocks access from the sides when phone is inserted)
about the same size ~4.5" would be ok
Good to have:
Top brand model, common on the market - so in future there would be system updates, the Cyanogen would be available, and the Forums would have good support
From my current research I know that
Samsung Galaxy S6 is too big. It would be perfect, except the size.
Samsung Galaxy S5 MINI is to close to my current S2 phone - it is not Top model, nothing so special worth the price...
Saidly said, the iPhone 6 is closest to my needs :/ If there would be iPhone6S I'd probably bought it already.
The only things keeping me on hold is: non microusb charger and non Android system :/
So the question is - what phone offers performance in range of S5, keeping the size (and popularity) of S2?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179 It's a good place to get information on new phones.

Can Samsung Galaxy S6 run an external 2560x1440p monitor?

Can Samsung Galaxy S6 run an external 2560x1440p monitor using some sort of cable?
wow I just some research and found out that S6 doesnt even have the standard MHL capability that all previous S series had at least since S3! What a shame Samsung. Anything else you forgot to take out of this POS phone I just bought? Deceptive marketing.

Gamevice S7/S7 Edge Support?

Hello! A while ago, I bought a GameVice for my iPhone X, and it is by far the best accessory I have purchased for that device, as I am heavily into mobile gaming. I am now wanting to buy one for my Samsung Galaxy J3, but they do not have a model dedicated to the J3. After some quick browsing on GameVice's site, I found a model for the Galaxy S7 that looks like it could fit the J3. It looks like the connector is properly centered and oriented the correct direction. All I need to know now is whether the J3 is similar enough in size to the S7, or better yet, if anyone has tried this before. Does anyone know if it will work?
The link to the controller is here, for reference:. https://gamevice.com/collections/mobile-console-gaming-android/products/samsung-galaxy-s7-1
