which to get galaxy tab 10.1, 8.9 or 7.7

should i get the galaxy tab 10.1 or 8.9, both already out, or wait for the galaxy tab7.7, which haven't been confirmed a released, but sometime november.
i do prefer the 7.7 with the super amoled screen and micro sdhc slot.
any comment.
thanks

tab 7.7 looks good the only thing I don't like is it does not use a standard micro usb connector for charge and data.

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...

Dock = Accessories section i would expect more knowledge .

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

TV Out MHL Galaxy S3 it's compatible with S4?

Hi everyone, the original samsung tv out mhl for galaxy s3 it's compatible with S4?

According to this the s3 has MHL 1.0 whereas the s4 has MHL 2.0.
Here is some knock off on amazon selling for $11:
Anyone want to pull the trigger on the knock off?

S4 is compatible MHL 2 does it mean it is not backward compatible !? I think you are making a wild guess that might or might not be proven right.
I have my s3 MHL that I will try with my s4 and will report with concrete results maybe tomorrow if I find time for it.

MHL 2 is backwards compatible with 1, though sounds like you need the additional m-usb power cable.
The description from the knock off on amazon states otherwise, which makes me all the more leery from buying the knock off. Wish monoprice would hurry up and release their version for s4 already.

so my galaxy s3 mhl dongle it's compatible with s4 I only add ext power? right?

Should be. As popular as this phone will be, you should expect to see less expensive ( non samsung branded) version come out. I wonder when mono price will release their new s4 cable

im personally gonna be buying it from verizon because i get a 25% discount and because i can just swap it out if it stops working (like the cheesy cables & cords u find on amazon)

Can confirm that my S3/Note 2 MHL adapter works with the S4 (Smart Dock does too for that matter).

I have a old knock off MHL adapter I got for my HTC EVO 3D that didn't seem to work with my GS4, apparently they have a different number of pins in the plug but an adapter is available, though probably better off just getting a new MHL that specifies for Samsung

MHL cable that works with S2 doesn't work on S4

Hi, I bougth a MHL cable for my old Galaxy S2, and then doesn't work with my new S4, so... Anyone know any trick or modification on mhl to work with s4?
Thanks

That's because the old one only has 5 pins iirc, the newer mhl cable has 11. At least the s3/note2 cable has 11 and works on my s4.
Dont think it's moddable.

Search this forum or search google.
Galaxy S3 and S4 use MHL 2.0 which isn't backwards compatible. You need a new dongle.

You can get one of these adapters and it will work just fine with your old cable.

I had bought one to use for my S3 when I got rid of the S2 but didn't want to buy a whole new cable....and it works with the S4 as well.

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
