[q] HDMI + USB Ports + charging in one dock (Galaxy Smart Dock)

Hey Folks!
I´m wondering if there is/will be something similar to the Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock for the Nexus 4 in near future. The Smart Dock (Multimedia Dockingstation
EDD-S20E) is just available for the S3 and the Note 2 and offers the user a Dock with 3 USB ports, an HDMI port and a speaker line out (while the device can be charged as well).
This seems to be quite a monster accessoire imao, as one really can use the device as a PC replacement (in some way ). As I´m still fighting with the decision to either buy a Note 2 or to wait for the Nexus, I would love to know if the Nexus will offer me such a "flexibility" as well!
Someone out there with more knowledge than myself?

As stated on the official spec sheet the Nexus 4 supports SlImPort HDMI
, according to the spec sheet of SlimPort, there is support for USB-Otg.

The Nexus 4 just seems to get better and better.

Got a link to one? First time I've ever heard of such a thing. Very cool.

The dock idea would be great! However I think the idea of trying to create something like this ourselves would sound fun too.

So, is it confirmed that Nexus 4 has OTG?
Thanks.

I believe the device has USB OTG, I remember reading about it in one of the early review articles.

I hope .

Neo N003 Premium and Neo N003 Youth.

Hi.
I hope i put this thread in the right place. Please move if not.
I want to make you all aware of the Neo N003 Premium and Neo N003 Youth.
Two Android phones that i think have great potential for a low price.
Check them out.

Sounds pretty good to me.
I hope the Sony 13 mega-pixel camera will deliver and that the screen is good.
If thats the case i sooo hope that the wonderful people here on xda do what they do and mod the shiit out of them :good:
Im already looking forward to all the questions about what kernel is best for battery *Snicker*
Your thoughts??

The Neo N003 looks great. I've been looking at it for a few weeks now.
I especially like that it's supposed to be the first mtk6589 phone to get usb otg and hdmi.
I'd still probably wait for the 2GB premium version.
Basically for the mtk6589 1080p 2GB phones I really only like 2 of them. The iOcean X7 Premium and the Neo N003.
I just got a iNew i2000 and have been messing around with it. It's very nice, but it's only 720p.

These companies like to make customers hot and then delay the release to another week then to another month. The release will be the end of april now.
I hate the look of the Neo N003, it looks so common. But specs are the best bang for the bucks.
I still prefer the iocean X7, but also the premium version.

Will be interesting to read what users think of it when it finally comes out.

Good choice ha!:thumbup:

The Neo N003 seems to be the most cost effective one out of the Android phones coming from China with similar specs based on rumours so far. My only issue is the lack of bands these phones cover. 2G will be no problem but 3G is weak and no LTE.

I'll be buying one of this (and in a joint purchase we'll get about 500 of this phone, both youth or premium) directly from NEO's factory. It looks like they extended the 3G bands as it now supports 850/900MHz band on 3G. You can see almost full specs here, many of them confirmed directly talking with NEO:
http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=8082128&postcount=1
Photos also look good:
Right now there are 350 people in the list (it's a joint purchase with 2 forums, HTCMania and Forocoches), 200 on HTCMania list (which hasn't been updated since some time) and about 150 in forocoches one.

There will be Forum on XDA ?

There should be one for NEO N003, general, as both share almost every single spec (only difference is RAM & ROM size).

is it dual sim?

lightake is excellent. there is a coupon thread here as well for the neo n003. in my opinion, not worth an extra $90 or so for the ultimate. the standard should suit 99.9% of users just fine.

Neo N003 2GB version is being pre-sold but the iOcean X7 pre-sells are only the youth 1GB version.

i can't see the advantage of having 2GB ram over 1GB if in ANDROID we have ZRAM (like virtual memory in windows) and the games/apps are running fine on 512mb RAM...
BTW, any news about this phone? still presale?

Some reviews say iOcean X7 Youth version has lower display specs, most say it's the same. Camera is 13mp in full version but 8mp in Youth version.

What's the neo company's name and their official website?
And
If android5 be released,anyone update this phone?!!!
At end, is any guidance to root and flash custom rom or anything?

Sorry for my bad english.
Tanks

NEO company name is NEO, isn't it?

Android 5? well, next one looks like it will be Android 4.3, but we don't know if it will be updated.
There are already root guides for MT6589 phones, and this one doesn't look like it will be any harder. About custom roms, in HTCMania we are buying about 3000 phones so, yeah, maybe there will be roms.

Official Lollipop on Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2???

Have you any news about the upgrade?
do we will can see Android 5.0 ?

Still anyone's guess at this point. The Galaxy Tab S line only recently got their updates (and they are still rolling out on the numerous variants of those products) so it may be a while. Personally I'm still trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm not expecting any earth shattering improvements.

It'll take a while. Most of the larger-market Note 3's don't have 5.0, and they have identical hardware. Seems 5.0 has been put on hold for anything without a 6 in the device name, to prevent them impacting the S6 sales.

Even slight differences in hardware require testing though. Larger screen resolution and different cameras in the Note 3 and Note 12.2 are enough to cause 2 testing paths. Note 3 sales were presumably way higher than the 12.2 so that must take priority. My experience with Samsung is to wait a good long while before taking a firmware upgrade from them anyway.

Note 3&4 have it from Verizon of all people and they are some of the slowest to release updates. If they are going to release it it cant be far off

It's not that...there are problems ( I guess from google or qualqomm) with lollipop. I own also note edge 915FY and despite the fact that has the same hardware as 915F it has not been updated to 5.Even the S6 with 5.0.2.has an update before lounching....
The S5 has 2 or 3 updates after initial release of lolipop...
I just hope that note pro will get anytime an update to lolipop

It has that as well, yes. From Google. Bluetooth connectivity, crashing Contacts, WiFi issues, general instability and memory leaks. But holding off an update to stimulate sales for the new product is a tried and true business method that they've been using since the S2.
The second S5 Lollipop update was required because most users couldn't use their device properly after the first update, which was put on hold after the first week.

at this point I'd appreciate a decent non official Lollipop build...

Marshmallow update...Xiaomi is playing with us!

I bought a Mi4c a few months ago convinced it was a great phone that could replace my Nexus 5 and yes it is a good phone with good specs but I bought it also when Xiaomi announced it would update to Marshmallow. My Nexus 5 was already running under MM so, I thought it would be a matter of a couple of weeks (Xiaomi announced update in Decembre) Today months have passed, many manufacturers like Motorola, Sony and even Samsung have updated some of their models even Moto E...but still nothing for Mi4c. Xiaomi makes good phones and I thought it was better than others cheap Chineses makers. It wants to be compared to Apple but it lacks support and compromise to existing customers. I probably had placed my expectations too high. Am I the only one? Next time I will buy a Nexus again.

Xiaomi uses Miui rom. There is no mutch different between MM based miui and Lollipop based miui.
Miui have most features of MM has already.

thats right! because of that i have no stress to get MM.
sMIUI runs great for me and have many many features!

IMO, they have too many devices to support. Just look at this table:

Many vendors only support their devices for 1 year, some 2, but here you can see Mi2S which is almost 3 years old and is still a supported device. I don't think Xiaomi has big enough development team to maintain all of those devices to match current base Android version. Moreover, they're advertising MIUI, which should have the similar experience between supported devices regardless the base Android version. 3 devices are already out with MM (still beta?), just wait for Mi4c turn. What features do you need from MM anyway?

"What features do you need from MM anyway?" My thoughts exactly.
Looking at the new features of MM, the ones that are interesting are the memory manager, per-app permissions and battery management. These are all things MIUI has built in already. Which probably also makes it that much harder to integrate into a new MIUI version.
Most of the other changes are cosmetic and most likely would not be reflected in MIUI anyway, when the MM update does come out.

or you can install TS CM13 - built by TS team or TS broken OS. They are 6.0 MM and pretty stable now. Great team with great supports and speed.
Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk

The only real feature M offers over L is SD card as internal storage. Since Mi4c has no external storage you aren't missing anything. MIUI already does a Doze feature killing everything in the background.

Doze, per app permission and memory management are thé most wanted feature un MM.
MIUI is good and I don't criticize his developping team very active. I am only mad at Xiaomi marketing team making announcements and not complying.

Like a few of us mentioned so far, those features have been built into MIUI for a long time already. So rejoice, you have your most wanted features
On a serious note, it's probably reasonable to assume the MM rollout will follow the release of the new flagship, the Mi 5. Which I think is like a day or two away. You can bet that'll be released with the latest MIUI iteration of android.

Please provide at least 1 quote from Xiaomi officials that said Mi4c will get MM soon.
And no.. gizchina "xiaomi mm devices updates schedule" is not official.

i use Broken that is 6.0 and it works perfectly...
if u want 6.0 that bad get it...

Smartlock is there but it is not working at all... That would be nice to have it, dont know if under Android 6 or 7, or actual 5.1...
Enviado desde mi iPad utilizando Tapatalk

i believe it's a matter of time before the mi4c reveives marshmallow... but judging from xiaomi history mm won't come anytime soon... i'd estimate (personally) early autumn the soonest......

Am I the only one that think Xiaomi won't update Mi4c to MM?

I guess so. Since Mi 3/4/5/Note get it, there's no reason to skip Mi 4C/4S/Note Pro/any other still supported devices. However, they seem to be in a discussion now, for supporting newer Android base with locked bootloader or stay with older one with unlocked bootloader.

Why shouldn't it get MM? The Mi4S just got released and should therefore get it, which is very similar to the Mi4C.

Maybe they will update Mi4c straight forward to "N" just like Mi4 which jumped lollipop to MM.

Well this is something Vivo has to answer.
They need desperately bring new re design UI to Nex S as was their No 1 flagship that sold not only in mainland China but internationaly.
Only then will gain respect from user base aspect by strongly support their previous flagship on software matter.
Or else Vivo will loose many current and future customers and will not buy future smartphone by them.
Personal talking no matter what Vivo do I'm going to purchase OP7 day one if all the rumors come true(4000 battery,pup up camera and no redicules notch or holls)
I prefer Oxygen no matter how Fantouch will evolve.
I'm user who like a lot of customization and oneplus will deliver without any compromises.

Unfortunately as I can see this details review the native dark mode with Fantouch 9 it's useless as its light gray so no any impact to battery life and looks horrible.
Vivo should had add very dark gray or total black option even better.
