Hello all-
Registered here simply because I cannot seem to find any factual evidence on this subject, and relevant information on the topic appears sparse. I bought my Note 4 last winter at Costco, and like anybody else who did not buy theirs from T-Mobile (or any carrier that did not infringe upon the packaged goods sent from the manufacturer), did not receive the wired headset.
It appears as though the HS330 was the model included with the Note 3--is this the same model included for the Note 4 as well? I'm more interested in purchasing the OEM authentic earbuds more for the sake of having them (to complete the original package as Samsung had intended), as my Panasonic RPTCM125W have been my favorite everyday, go-to pair.
Thank you for your time!
Anyone have any idea? I am thinking it may be between the EG900BW or the HS330?
You can walk into a tmobile store and just ask for some. I've ended up with a few extra sets. I've done the same with asking for an extra OEM Samsung lightning charger. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I have just received an email from Mobilefun telling me I will not be getting the car mount I pre-ordered as it is now discontinued. I am not sure whether we should be worried or not that the official Samsung official mount for our few month old phones is now not going to be available. I have never seen a product discontinued before it was even sold.
Most peculiar. I've been checking around here too, no accessory to be found. Really need a car mount.
WTF!?!?!? That is kind of scary. I havent even had the chance to think about getting the "official" accessories as of yet and to hear something like this now???
Perhaps someone can confirm with Samsung and find out what the deal is on this?
I had the same with the carmount available on meritline... weird eh!
I've ordered the exact same of eBay though... kinda weird!
I won't argue with the mods but surely this is a news story not just an accessories one?
This is the one I ordered. Where on eBay did you find one?

I've got the brodit: http://www.mountonus.com/Samsung-Ga...t-With-Tilt-Swivel-Function-512167-26030.aspx
It's a real nice car kit.
The Brodit ones not bad but neither of them really appeals to me. I wanted one I could just clip the SGS into and it would be screen mounted and powered. No messing with wires or anything. I have tried to email Samsung about it but I am not holding onto any hope of a reply.
I bought one of the spider foot screen mount and it came with a car charger, leather pouch and a laynard. I was that impressed with it that I bought a second for my friend!
this is the one i have

I got the same one, do you ever have trouble getting the phone out of the holder? My clip seems to be very stubborn and always catches on the backplate of the phone, just wondering if you had the same problem
Thought I would share with you what the higher ups in Samsung have to say about this.
My (continuing) Question
To: Executive Office
Subject: Re: Car dock
- Hide quoted text -
Thank you again for your reply.
I think you are misunderstanding and that we are not making progress so I will try to explain again. Last year Samsung announced the Car and Media dock for the Samsung Galaxy S. Retailers began to advertise them for sale and to order them from yourselves. Two months later the retailers were told by Samsung that they were discontinued. This was before ANY had been delivered to the retailers and as I have said only two months after they had been announced. The retailers then contacted their customers, myself amongst them, and informed us of this. I have been trying ever since to get an answer from yourselves as to why this line had been discontinued in all countries apart from the USA market just two months after they were announced and before any had been sold except those sold in the USA. A greater part of the 10 million+ Galaxy S phones sold were not sold to the USA market yet that market is the only one that has these promised accessories available. If you cannot provide an answer would you now raise this enquiry to the next tier please.

The answer
Good afternoon Mr Pitman
The reason why the unit won’t be available in any of the Samsung subsidiaries is due to sales and marketing reasons. As a manufacture of many products, sometimes a product that is closed to being released can be stopped due to the market for that product changing and to this reason the product can become discontinued.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide you any other information regarding this product as we only handle the aftercare service of a product that has been fully released, nor can we advise who the best contact for your query is.
I can advise you to write a letter to the following address: Samsung Mobile, Samsung House, 1000 Hillswood Drive, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 0PS, I cannot guarantee that they will response quickly but you query will be looked into be that team.
Regards

Well, thats a gilbert answer... Gadgetization is androids weakest spot. And what gadgets and bling there is, well its fairly low quality.
This is iPhone's main advantage. One design and a forest of 3rd party manufacturers that have grown out of their garages and become professional suppliers.
There would be a huge upside for Samsung/HTC/Sony to mimic this by setting up their own production lines to mimic that market. I guess the problem is no one in house is willing to risk their neck and the people that sit on the money don't understand this part of the iPhone world.
I don't want to use both hands while attaching the device to a car mount - so 3rd party accessories are no-go.
I ordered an original T959 Vibrant car mount for my international i9000: http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48828&cat=5138
They ship nearly worldwide. It's 10 days ago and I am still waiting for its arrival.
You guys should do the DIY one from this thread, I did it and it is amazing, it looks so good, and holds the phone really nice.

Dirt cheap too, for a custom mount the whole thing cost me maybe 10 bucks at the most, including the epoxy.

So did you get your mount yet? Does the Vibrant mount work (properly) with the i9000?
Hi,
the first order was lost, so they sent another one, which arrived in 5 days or something like that.
Yes, it works as designed.
Snap it in, push the USB to the phone (the small box at one end of the mount) with one finger, that's it.
The phone detects immediately that it is a car mount and if you have installed the car app it starts also without delay.

Same thing here with desk dock (original as far as I can say) bought in Poland on Ebay-ish website. Samsung's app downloaded from xda (it's here around somewhere) jumps in the moment I connect the phone. Have problems with line-out though, but I'm on custom ROM so maybe that's the problem.
Nevertheless it really looks like S is making monkeys out of us.

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
So maybe not the best place to ask this but giving it a shot. Lost the charging case to my Galaxy buds that came with the pre-order, obviously can't charge them anymore. I called Samsung to which they said the case was available to purchase separately, but when they transferred me over to the sales dpt they said it wasn't. Dug around on the internet and one reddit forum listed a website that has it for sale by they're oos with no eta, so was wondering if anyone else had any luck with finding a replacement case. I use these for my motorcycle for navigation and such.
Does anyone know where I might be able to source one of these, preferably in white? I've tried all the usual sites like eBay, Amazon, CL, etc. If someone has one lying around they can sell me please PM thanks!
Samsung OEM is possible but very unlikely as to my knowledge Samsung Electric Corporation no long produces parts or accessories for the Note 4.
You would have to search for them online and get them from a online retaler. As Samsung has stopped selling accessories for the Note 4 years ago. If you try eBay or Amazon, I would recommend that you research the seller before pulling the trigger on your purchase.
I came across this official Samsung video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSHt-pvTK8g
At time mark: 00:35 seconds into it, the video shows AKGs head-phones for the Samsung Note 20 Ultra.
I guess certain regions get this?

The headphones are not included in Canada.
You get the Galaxy Buds Live as a "bonus" item for preordering.

Very strange on my country we get both galaxy buds live "as a preorder bonus " + the AKG wired headphones in the box
According to CNET
If I don't have USB-C headphones what am I supposed to do?
Samsung has your back. If you need a pair of USB-C wired headphones, Samsung's customer service will give you a pair for free. The company will even cover shipping and handling.
I think in UE it's mandatory by law to have included the charger and the headphones.

I received my pre-orderd ATT N20 Ultra today and contacted Samsung's service team to request a set of wired headphones and was told they were not offering free headphones to US customers.
Same here..got my device pre ordered from At&t...No headphones.

Look, you guys in the US have the Snapdragon. Be satisfied LOL!
To make up for the Exynos version, we are getting the earphones, possibly a case (as seen in some unboxing videos) and and an extra 128Gb storage on the base model. Does this make up for an inferior chipset? Probably not for the likes of us on XDA, but average consumers will welcome them.
.
Nice, for a worse pants you get extra pocket on it.
One can't compensate the other, and if it's about the UE, they are forced to include it by law.
you cats in the US that state samsung are not going to give you wired phones -- you need to reach out to another rep. i hit up their chat box and within 5 minutes i had the code being sent to my inbox for the 30 dollars (shipping is extra that you pay). im not going to use it for the buds since i have several pairs from over the years, but they will absolutely give you a voucher in the US.
I still have my wired buds from my Note 9 and Note 10+ and.... Well... They never made it out of the phone box. Never been unpacked or used. I cannot stand wired headphones and use my Buds. I know, I'm an exception to the rule, but all in all, I just can't get myself to even try them. I am, admittedly, clumsy and always get myself tied up in the cords and either pull the headphones out of the jack or my ears and in worst cases the phone out of my pocket and onto the ground. LOL!
