I'm getting a $50 ebay coupon, so I'm looking to buy some accessory for my Note 8. I came across this ebay listing for a generic 8" case with attached OTG keyboard.
Has anybody ever used this or some similar case? Any feedback?
Also, what are the pros and cons of using an OTG keyboard over a bluetooth keyboard?
Also please suggest if you know a better keyboard case under $30.
Thanks!
Bluetooth may reduce WiFi performance, usually this is with audio or mice and not wroth a decent keyboard.
OTG means no charging but use less power than Bluetooth. Which doesn't really use a lot of pet any who.

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.
Here is my goal: We purchased the gameklip for our phones, and I want to run emulators, and play some games with the video streaming to our mitsubishi 82" 82742 tv. (We'll also do various video mirroring to the tv, for things like ebook/ecomic reading, android based games, or other apps.)
Plans are to use the wireless version of the gameklip so the hdmi port is freed up for hdmi out/charging, so I'm looking to buy an hdmi out adapter/cable for our S3 1535 phones, but every product advert I see for them lists the 9300, not the 1535.
What are the difference between the phones, and should I be looking for something specific to the 1535? (I couldn't find any online comparisons between the verizon 1535 and the 9300.)
It looks like the hdmi adapters can be had for about $10 shipped on ebay or amazon.
We were running our old droidx phone's hdmi out to the tv before our new phones. It looks like the old droidx hdmi cable has a micro hdmi port for the phone, and the S3 adapters give you a full sized hdmi out.
I think I need the latest jellybean leak, the 9300 hdmi adapter, and a new 12' hdmi cable, or do those adapters also have a micro hdmi on them as well?
Also it sounds like to use the home theater, I'll also need to add a audio cable to plug into the home theater (or does the s3 hdmi out also pass through audio to the tv speakers? using the tv speakers would be fine.) Worse case I can use my bt stereo headset, but audio coming from the tv or home theater would be nice.
(Sorry for all the questions, but we are still on a learning curve coming from the DX.)
You want a 9305 quad core with 2gig of ram. i535 is only a dual core and the 9300 only has 1gig of ram.

I think you misunderstood my question. We already have the Verizon Galaxy S3 phones. we are looking to what we need to hook them up properly to our bigscreen tv to mirror video/audio out.
I'd Say go to Verizon buy an mhl adapter around$40 don't buy the cheap ones doesn't work well . it
allows you to mirror, games and all

Mhl is a service key piece that let's mhl compatible tvs to control the device remotely with the channel changer. Since most hdmi tvs don't have this (mhl) they make an adapter for basic hdmi out usage since it is different protocols.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDMI adapter that is specific for the S3 works for the I-535.
$20 on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, and relocating this to the proper location, Mod.
I also looked into wirelessly sending video/audio via the samsung allshare dongle for our tv, but it sounds like it still does not receive 1080p, and some people have all sorts of connect/frame dropout issues with that.
It sounds like the newest jellybean leaks improve the situation, but spending $80 hoping it gets resolved doesn't sound very practical to me.
I think we'll go with the mhl adapter. I checked my droidx cable, and it does have a full sized at one end, and a micro hdmi at the other end. 8(
Is monoprice still the best place for low prices on hi speed hdmi cables? I'll need a 12 footer to stretch from the couch to the phone.
I've heard good things about Monoprice, but haven't used them personally.

Holy crap are they expensive! $10.50 plus shipping for a 1 foot long cable? Are they smoking crack?
I purchased 3 6 foot long hi speed hdmi cables off ebay just a few weeks ago for less than $10 shipped.
I haven't seen any validation for premium expensive hdmi cables anywhere... every time you read reviews, unless you are running extremely long distances (20 feet or more) everyone says all hi speed rated cables are pretty much the same regardless of price.

Not sure which cables you were looking at.......
but they do make different cables at different price points for various applications....

$4.90 for 12 foot cable.

I might have looked at the wrong cables then. Thanks for that info again!
I have a feeling we'll just go with the hdmi adapter and the cable.. it sounds like the samsung allshare dongle just is not ready for prime time yet.
I am looking for a dock with hdmi and otg usb port. Anyone brave enough to try out the ebay one

looks like it would be the same as the MHL adapter, and micro to standard usb built into one. I dont know for sure but it looks like it would work.
I'm not that brave but also not that rich to buy this as well..
This is what you need, genuine Samsung.

The genuine Samsung Smart Dock mentioned above works like a champ. I also picked up a Logitech keyboard/touch pad combo + Rotation Control (play store) app.
Connected to a monitor or TV, it's practically a desktop PC for me.

The cheap ebay one will only do one thing at a time. Not both mhl and otg simultaneously.

Bought the samsung with hdmi out and 3usb ports from mobilefun. Works great, about 72 shipped from the uk. Also picked up a cheaper samsung dock from amazon w/o hdmi and usb for about 30. Phone fits both fine even with my case mate case on.

Hi, is it possible to use a cable like that? http://www.everychina.com/f-z51ede7e/p-91338529/showimage.html
Where can be buyed? other web ... of course.
If it works, may select between dual mode or extended mode?
In dual mode, may i turn off the screen's tablet and works only with the hdmi output?
hdmi adapter with more
Anyone have an Idea if this would work ---

This item can be connected MHL Phone or Tablet to HDTV. One cable and two usages. If you wanna get one for your note 8.0, you can search it at ebay.com or amazon.com with keyword "mhl cable for samsung Note 8.0".
Make sure it is compatible with Samsung devices. MHL adapters that worked with HTC devices are not compatible with Samsung devices.

If I were you I wouldn't trust the price !!!
I'am sure they'll send you either a fake (which is not as performant as the real deal !!!) or worse an old mhl (the S3's for example which may also be a fake)
That being said, if you have the spare money to give it a try feel freed to give us a feedback on the case you will fill in ^^
no it doesnt work just i tried on my note and it didnt work
I bought this one at BestBuy . A but pricey but it works. Don't want to risk on cheap ones not working so I got it.

iam getting my tab s tomorrow . can anyone recommend some good keyboard cases (both samsung and logitech ones are very expensive, so something cheaper than those).
Imho, the best is using an apple wireless keyboard and WingStand.

spend the money and get the Logitech which i chose over Sammy version cause it adds some protection where Sammy doesnt have any protection. i have tried so many from Amazon and there really is no comparison with the cheaper ones.
if you really want to save a few dollars then the next step down of all i tried was the Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 your going to get a MUCH bulkier feel that all universals are going to have but i tried 4 different ones and this was the best of the universal bunch.
you invested in the Tab S and you will be much happier investing in the Logitech keyboard
