[Q] GNEX LTE 3 prong car dock out yet? - General Questions and Answers

Has anyone been able to find the US LTE Galaxy Nexus version of the car dock that has the quick doc three prong connection? The Verizon one looks lame compared to the GMS units. I'm surprised not to see them everywhere. There is money to be made here...

Original Galaxy tab 7 car dock work for tab 2?

I used to have a galaxy tab 7 and i bought the official car dock for it. Will the same dock work for the new galaxy tab 2 7.0? If it will I'll probably buy one, if not I'm gonna preorder a nexus 7 tab.

You should ready about that n7 in the general forum before you order one.
I'm pretty sure the dock will work fine though.

The only thing Im not crazy about with the N7 tab is no sd card slot. That's the only thing swaying me towards the Samsung. I think I would be happy with either one but having the extra expand-ability would be nice.
I've bought usb on the go converter and cable date (plus charge) for the first galaxy tab (P1000) to use in my GT2 and so far the usb otg works fine (haven't tried the cable data though).
It's the same 30 pin connector after all unlike apple connector which I've heard from a friend different generation have different voltage or something inside altough the pin stays the same.
So I think the car dock should works normally but if you can you might want to ask the seller first just to make sure.

Samsung dock vs eBay dock

Hopefully this hasn't been addressed already...I'm upgrading my pc to Windows 8 and search in tapatalk is lackluster.
I'm looking for a dock for my note. I'm thinking of getting one of the $10 eBay ones, but I have two questions.
1, with either dock will the tab recognize it's docked? I it to automatically launch something when docked so I want to know if it will recognize either type of dock as a dock vs regular charger.
2, will the note fit in either dock with the Samsung book cover? Not a big deal, but if it'll fit in one and not the other it may sway my decision.
Thanks!

i have the same questions! i'd really like to find a dock i can use a case with. i got a cheap ebay one for my s3 that's just a universal micro usb dock, and it was great for a while, but now it stopped working. obviously there's no 'universal' dock since the note has the 30 pin connector...

i would assume so too, but i thought it was worth a try here, since someone else already asked the same question.

[Q] Wireless charger that will work for both Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?

I just recently got a Nexus 4, and my girlfriend got a Galaxy S3 for christmas. I know the S3 doesn't have native wireless charging (requires some sort of adapter to the pinout under the back cover, I think?), but I was wondering if there's either: A) a way I can add wireless charging to the S3 that would be compatible with the recently released charging orb through the play store, or B) an option that would somehow work for both, if the S3 can't be made compatible with the orb.
I made an effort to search through other questions to make sure this hadn't been asked before, so forgive me if it has and I missed it!
Rumors have it that Samsung is developing a kit, if its Qi compatible then all Qi chargers will work with it.
The real place to ask the question is in the S3 forums. If they make it Qi youre good, if not then its on them.
I got the adapter from fast tech for the S3 (cheapest I could find it at $15 including shipping) for my Boyfriend's S3. I have a Nexus 4. Once the adapter and my Qi chargers arrive I will report back and let you know. I did not order the orb, but I did get the cheap $35 one from fast tech, and the double Duracell one from amazon.
I think I should get at least the adapter and the double duracell one next week. We also have a variety of cases for the s3 to test with.
I'm hoping that orb will work for galaxy s3. Not only I'm getting useless nexus 4i also ordered the orb. My wife might kill me. Lol. We got Verizon and at least a year and a half on contract left.

I'm using the cheapo uniden qi charger for the iPhone with my nexus 4. Got it at walgreens drug store for like 12$ and hacked for the n4 it works perfectly.

I'm using the Energizer dual charger (Qi certified) to charge both my N4 and my wife's GS3. I bought an after market Qi receiver for the GS3 from eBay. It fits under the stock back cover. Works great.
I like the energizer unit since I can do both phones at the same time.

Do you have any problems with placing phones properly?

Had various wireless chargers, Nokia beats all, it just works, drop your phone and that's it, no fidling with correct placement or similar nosense.
Though there is a funny thing with Nexus 4 and wireless charging...

I, too, have an S3 and a N4, which are sharing one wireless charger (Power Qi). I had to buy a Qi receiver and apply it on top of the battery for S3. It makes the back of S3 hump a little bit, but the battery cover still snaps in. Of course, S3 feels heavier too.
That said, things work fine. Charging faster than computer usb 2.0 and slower than wall charger, but I can grab it an run whenever I want.

In Vietnam it's about 37 USD per unit and the receiver is about 10 USD.

iBolt GS3 car dock doesn's charge GS4

My boss bought me a GS4 a couple of days ago and gave me an iBolt car dock that was originally purchased with a couple GS3's about a year back. The GS4 fits into the car dock rather nicely, but the USB connector doesn't charge it. The car dock will still charge a GS3 and my old HTC One X, as well as pretty much any accessory I could find to try, but not the GS4. I also tested this with the iBolt car dock my boss has, with the same results.
Has anyone else noticed this or know if there is something I can do about it?
As mentioned in the accessories forum the s3 dock doesn't work unless you purchased it after early May.
The ibolt pro dock does work and is, imho, totally worth the price.

Try contacting iBolt customer service. Don't know what they'll do for you, but they are usually responsive. Samsung made some change to the docking mode/pins and it looks like they updated the iBolt cable to account for that.

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.
I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2
it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5
I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home
