[Q] Keyboard Dock Question

Hi all. I have the Galaxy tab 10.1 and since it's getting a little dated was thinking about switching to the Galaxy Note 10.1. My question is simple. Will the Galaxy Tab keyboard dock work with the Galaxy Note? It uses the same 30pin connector so I'd assume it would but I'd just like confirmation before I switch over.

I know that some folks have done a slight modification to make it work.

Does it have to be modified then? It won't just work out the box?

As I mentioned, it needs a modification to make it work.

Thanks. I think I'll leave it then. As much as the Note is nice, it's not a huge upgrade from the original tab. Thanks for the help.

If you come from the p7500 it is in deed a huge upgrade imo

Would you mind elaborating on this slight modification?

All I know is that a piece somewhere needs to be removed. I saw a few posts about it on Amazon. Perhaps take your dock to a shop where they sell the note so you can try it and see the conversion issues yourself.

[Available] Samsung Gear VR $199 !!!!!

It's ready to buy!! GO GO GO!
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R320NPWSXAR

Ordered mine. Over night delivery. Hoping they ship today!

So I guess no package deal with a gamepad? I thought there was an official announcement that there would be a $250 package.
Anyone have any recommendations for a gamepad to go along with the gear vr?

Damnit, guess I pulled the trigger too soon. Thanks though.

Now I'm dying to see if we can get it to work with CM12. I'll be using CM12 as a daily driver and IF Gear VR works on CM12 then I might buy it. But if it doesn't work, it's not worth the $200 and forced use of TouchWiz. I'd also accept MultiROM if we could get it out our devices, but that also seems unlikely.
Anyway, glad to see Gear VR finally on the market! Hope y'all enjoy it.

Oculus APK
I have the google cardboard, does anyone know if the Oculus apk will be available to those who don't have the VR headset? I was just hoping to check it out before I bought the VR dev kit.

No Gear VR for me. I have glasses.

any VR news for canadians?

An FYI...
I was reading the description and it says that currently the Verizon Note4 model is not compatable....

It has focal adjustment which allows you to adjust the lenses if you're short sighted or long sighted
I'm waiting for it to come out on Amazon as I have some gift cards to use. At the moment they already have a skin protector kit but no actual headset

Shouldn't be surprised, that is their motto after all...
"Verizon - Screwing Customers Every Way Possible"

Just letting everyone know this is the Innovator Edition meaning you can buy it, but its really a technology release for early adapters of technology and developers. If the technology doesn't take off.... there's a chance they may just scratch this product. Just an FYI....

I didn't catch the incompatibility thing in the description. Is that in the official website?

Mine is sitting here waiting for the update... VZ told me the 18th. I have screen shots of the chat session. Hopefully that was a cautionary date and the rollout will begin today.

Yup totally ok with it! It's cheaper than a standalone pair of video goggles and can work just like one if all else fails.

It's on their website now, was not yesterday. I spoke with Samsung and they said they found out from Verizon this morning and added it to the site then.

I was just about to by this today, but something told me to hold off and wait and I'm glad that I did. I just seen an article on Android Central stating that it wasn't compatible with Verizon or Sprint variants of the Note 4 at this time, and that the updates will be pushed out by the carriers.
If I would have spent $236 for this device and overnight shipping only to have a temporary plastic paper weight, I would have been extremely pissed.

Ahhh! Nice. I would definitely want to try these out first, though. Seeing is believing.
Also... A friend of mine asked me why Samsung chose to have the plastic overlay over the back of the phone. It blocks the camera. Did they not want people turning on the camera and stumbling around an augmented reality world or something?

If you had a rooted Sprint phone, you could probably steal the required app from a T-Mo device.

Yeah, the waiting game is on. I'm excited to see a display model. Sometimes, it's crazy to hold a phone in your hand and see how it really feels

[Q] [Don't shoot][Noob Warning] Why is there no CM for the GS6?

Hi everyone.
Excuse my excitement. Should be getting my GS6 in a week. Was looking for stock CM. Was surprised to find there isn't one. The GS5 had one.
Is this Samsung's doing?
Thanks!!

No cm for s6..get a 6p instead

It's all Samsung's doing, bro. :good:
Samsung never fully released the complete source code of their proprietary Exyenos cpu's, which are damn good btw, unlike Qualcomm with their Snapdragons, which are open-sourced and the same you had in your S5 (which had CM)
The S6 took the honour of being the most powerful phone of 2015! Highly subjective, I know, but true according to a lot of benchmarking sites on the net.
CM ain't all that either imo. Much prefer all the features of Samsung stock rom over CM anyway. Promised myself I'd stay away from Exyenos cpu's (since I got S4 with one & CM sucked on it) but couldn't resist the temptation of getting S6 since the prices had fallen now big time. The hardware is A for Away!
Take the S6 bro - it's a good device & don't stress about CM. Apparently there are some development for S6 ongoing, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you. It won't ever be perfect. Ever.

Why ? The S6 is one of the best phones ever made , i just bought one 3 weeks ago and i already forgot "root" and "custom roms". Samsung have my respect now , they did an awesome job.

Because the 6p has almost as many issues as the note7 at this point? That's the worst recommendation for a device trade in overall.
To be honest I'm very interested to see where OnePlus, HTC, LG & Moto will be taking their devices with the next roll out.

Galaxy watch

Can I ask why no one is discussing the new watches?
I have searched and cannot find a thread for this or a dedicated new forum page.
I am probably just being dumb but if there is such a thread could someone kindly direct me to it.
Thanks.

Here I wrote something...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/tizen-4-0-t3816617
Few Videos can be found on Youtube...

Thanks, I have seen thy thread.
Also I think I have seen every single you tube on this watch (twice over) I especially liked the first unboxings by Tim Schofield which came out yesterday.
I am really excited for this watch (even though I have the S3 Frontier)
Mine arrives on 6th September. Fingers crossed for early deliveries!

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?

I accept the upgrade is not massive but I was always torn between the S3 Classic or Frontier and I believe that this is a perfect blend of the two. So essentially it it just aesthetics for me.
I got the Frontier second hand for £180 and Samsung are giving me £100 trade in so I think overall it is a reasonable price to pay.
Also the mst is totally irrelevant to me as I never use my watch for payment, always happy to just use my phone.
I am interested on those who are receiving theirs today in the USA. Please let us have your reviews.

For me the fact that I can go swimming with it now is worth the upgrade. I didn't use MST on my Gear S3 anyways. I ordered from BestBuy and I got an email I can pick it up today. So will grab it on my way home from work.

Ooh, lucky you... Very interested to hear your opinions when you have it. Please let me know what you think of the screen and also the speaker quantity.
Enjoy!

Can you test whatsapp? Change something or is still like s3? You can use bixby for send new WhatsApp message ?

Well so far I'm not impressed. Its been a little over 24 hours of light use and my battery is at 75%. The galaxy app says 2 days 12 hrs left, so that would put the battery life somewhere around 3 and 1/2 days about 1 1/2 days shorter then they claim (5 days). The Bixby app is horrible, if I ask the weather or a question it takes a very long time to respond compared to the S-Voice of S3, at one point it even froze. The daily briefing feature is kinda cool but I assume the S3 will get this in an update. Anyways as it stands now not sure it was worth the upgrade.

Oh, I thought nobody received the "new" watch...

I upgraded from the LTE Gear S2. This was a huge upgrade for me in my opinion. I didn't use Samsung Pay on the S2 because it didn't have MST so I'm not really missing anything. I love the battery life of this watch. My old S2 barely made it through a work day. The one thing I miss from the S2 is the Timer app. I used it when cooking. There is no app like it on the Galaxy Watch.
I also would like to see the SmartThings integration with the watch. The Samsung ad shows this, but no app on the watch. I have lots of lights and other items that would be nice to control on the watch. I hope that this will be a new app that gets pushed out with an upgrade.
Overall, I love the new Galaxy Watch.

For some reason the timer was not on the S3 either but it is an available app to download.

Yep I'm in the US. The Timer App and the Stop watch app have to be manually downloaded like the S3. Why those 2 aren't on by default is beyond me.

^this.
I waited to see the new Galaxy Watch with all the rumors about it but once it was announced with a bigger battery at the expense of MST i just bought the S3 Frontier 2 days later for $179 new from Best Buy (had them price match). I was looking at the S3 Frontier for 3 reasons, battery life, MST, and bezel/look. I'm getting 3-4 days on a charge so don't need more battery at the expense of MST and to get this look it's in a smaller form factor so this made no sense to spend $350 over the $179 price

I mean, just look at this video, everything is the same, the gear wearable app looks the same, RAM is the same, the speed/performance is the same. TLDR: If you are a pro swimmer then get the galaxy watch, thats it.

I finally found the app. Not sure why it was showing up when I was searching for the app Timer

fyi, got a firmware update this morning. R800XXU1BRH3 - Improved Samsung Health Experience, Improved device stability.

Now the watch has been released surely there should be a dedicated page for this on XDA? Have I missed it somehow?
Is interest in this watch so small?
Can't wait for the release in the UK.
