Is that how i install anything? Or what? An do i put the phone in the download mode or whatever? What was that pda.tar file that he told us to put in there? What was that supposed to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Odin and download mode go hand in hand. In fact, they are mutually exclusive, you never use one without the other.

The .tar contains the touch cwm, put on pda slot of Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Things are starting to make sense now. Where the hell did you even find that version of cwm?

Touch is where it's at. Your not cool unless you pee your pants(Billy Madison). Not sure where that came from.:D

If anybody is still struggling, then go here. He walks you right through it with videos. You can always flash the cwm touch version after using the flashable zip.

Ok so if i want to put a program on my phone i have to put it on there with odin even if its a zip file? Or what? An what do the other selections mean on odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
No. Once you flash cwm touch, you'll probably never use Odin again. All zips are flashed through cwm recovery.

Extensions

Odin flashes .tar files

CWM flashes .zip files

Once you install CWM with Odin you shouldn't ever need to touch Odin again. Everything can be flashed through CWM (Unless specifically told otherwise).

Only throw files that are meant for odin in the [PDA] section. Don't click anything else :)

After about your 3rd ROM flash everything will click and flashing roms will become second nature.

SPOILER: To get into CWM after flashing it with Odin, hold BOTH volume buttons down while powering the phone up. After you see the Samsung logo, release the volume buttons :)

Freeze or remove tethering manager in titanium backup(if you have titanium backup), or download your app of choice in the market that will freeze/remove apps. I would freeze it. See if that does the trick.

Only two choices for me - the genuine Samsung job which is supposed to be about £30 ish, or a Brodit pro-clip. I've had these ever since the N95. Great kit, moulded to the phone, active or passive holders. But you have to wait a while for them to release it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NorthernNoel:
I wonder if the official Samsung one will have a line out like the S2 mount?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SiNJiN76:
How about one with clips for the AC? That's what I'm looking for.

I'm also a Brodit fan. Problem is I am planning to get the Samsung flip cover which has the replacement back. With my GS2 I just take it out of the case to put it in the passive holder but that won't work with the flip cover. I don't think Brodit do a kind of grip holder to attach to their vent attachment which I use.

Looks as though there's no line out on the Samsung one :(

The last couple of Brodit holders I've had have been very poor quality. The mounts are ok so I've connected third party holders to the mount.

The holder that I linked to is apparently a Samsung one and looks like it will work with a phone in a case

Not 100% what to make sure of the official Samsung car dock.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...4CPO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338131626&sr=8-2

http://www.clove.co.uk/official-vehicle-dock-samsung-galaxy-s3

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-original-vehicle-kit-car-charger-included-231981/

Some of the sites I've seen show this to be described as a universal adapter, for Galaxy S3 AND other phones, other sites indicates this is designed specifically for the S3, and most don't seem to show a micro usb connection.

What gives? Is this or is this not a specific S3 device?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] <<Raj$>>:
Yes this time around Samsung has released a generic car mount capable of scoring any Samsung device that covers between 4.7" to 5.3" which is printed in the car mounts box.

:-(

The one shown in the expansys is for s2 or for the note. Do not fall for it as it will not fit for the s3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I have the Samsung car dock for the s2. It is slightly different- the back hole for the camera is different than that of the pic in the link above for eXpansys. Also the note and gs2 are completely different in size. The one shown in the picture for the expansys website is not adjustable.. at least I can't see any sign of it adjusting.. even the car mount for the s2 is not adjustable for a different device. So it could very well be for the s3

Here is the mount for the s2. Pretty similar but its not the same mount as the one on the expansys link.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sjdean:
That looks like the S2 mount listed here:

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii-217880/

But I think the S3 mount they have pictured is the Note mount

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-ori...-galaxy-note-5-3-car-charger-included-224728/

Think Samsung have dropped the ball in only providing a universal mount and not one dedicated to the phone. Looks like Im waiting for Brodit.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] gflare:
I have the Spacemount, and it's fantastic. The only thing I would tell you to beware of is excessive heat (like leaving it hooked on the dashboard during a hot summer day). It'll degrade the amount of stick & suction it has, although mine still works well enough.

I'm liking my Infuse mount I just picked up. A hair stiff, but it holds the phone well & may break in a touch as I use it. The first few times the micro-USB didn't want to line up or slide in easily, but that seems to have sorted itself now & works properly almost every time.

Generally a 2 handed affair to use it though.

I may replace the suction cup & arm assembly with something else, but the phone holder & ball joint is held on by 1 bolt & a thumbscrew, very easy to mount to something else.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
It's very easy to do that - I've never used the suction mount on my D710 mount, I drilled a hole in an easily replaceable vent on the dash for my last car for it to mount to, and shaved off the entire ball mount on the back to attach Velcro for my new car, works perfectly -now to try it on the SIII when I go pick it up in a few hours!

I bought this Herbert & Richer vent mount along with a car charger and on its first outing the vent clips have come loose and won't tighten properly.

I chose this unit cause I had the windscreen suction version a while back and it was very good quality

Not sure whether to complain and demand a replacement or just get a Brodit pro clip and screw it on.

What do u guys think?

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1394

Just seen Kidigi are making S3 accessories - the one above is a powered car dock, they also do one with a flylead to go in the headphone jack so it'll do handsfree too.

Had a Kidigi Nexus S mount and it was really good for the price, I paid £15 from Amazon and they sent me the handsfree one! A few people reported the same thing . Half an hour with the soldering iron and I'd removed all the handsfree stuff and just made it into a straight charging dock, the link above for the S3 is exactly that already - ends in a USB plug.

MobileFun are listed as a UK agent so I'll wait until they stock it. Probably not as good quality as a Brodit (we use Brodits at work for our driver's PDAs, they get constant hammer with ham-fisted drivers doing 20-25 drops a day) but then I tend to treat stuff well. The Nexus S one was in perfect condition after 18 months of use. My only complaint would be it's windscreen only but I reckon the holder itself would screw to the dash, the suction cup and gooseneck just unclip from the back and you get a brodit-style 4-lug clip.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] PointyUK:
I have been using the Brodit active holder for a couple of days and am really happy with it. Installation was easy with the correct pro clip for my car. I just used an Add A Circuit to tap into the power. My only minor gripe is the phone is quite a tight fit, but it hasn't marked the phone and I'm sure it will loosen up.

Yeah it's a pity u can't use it with a light case on the phone or I'd have one in the morning.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ansextra:
My biggest problem with Brodit is that my car is a lease and I will be replacing it in about a year. Also, for GPS I prefer to use my phone sideways and that would block too much of the dashboard so I like windshield mounts.

Is the suction mount as good as that says?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ApophisXP:
Its insane. I tried it for a laugh at first on the dashboard of the car... before I continue let me just say that the dash is not a clean/levelled surface but its bumpy with those little dots...

This thing sucked it so hard, if only.. anyway its my favourite car mount.

Holds well and hasn't failed me and hasn't fallen off in over a year. I recommended this to a friend of mine who purchased it roughly same time and he has it on the window and same thing hasn't fallen off and it just stays there, its solid.

The rubber part that creates the seal has some kind of wet sticky textured rubber but doesn't leave marks.

Has supported my SGS2, iPhone4, SGS3 and even a paper cup of coffee fine.

The build is solid, it rotates nicely and doesn't move on its own.

Haven't tried the other ways of holding things though with the clip facing down etc

Hope that helps

Edit: In short it stays where you put it and if it fits it, it grips it (they should buy that line from me)

Samsung Original S3 Dock

Having used the Samsung S3 Original Car Dock for a couple of days I am now less disappointed than I was!

As you probably all know now, the Samsung part does not have any connectivity at all and is in fact a generic type side clamping affair.

The S2 mount was specific for the S2 with usb & audio connectivity. I always thought this was the best solution for a car dock. However, I was always uncomfortable with the amount of force to release the S2 from the dock.

With the new one, the spring loaded side clamps are released by the button on the back of the dock, so the S3 never has any force applied when inserting or releasing.

In use, the windscreen suction is rock solid, the adjustability excellent, and the stability of grip on the phone is also excellent.

Ok, it would be better if the usb cable was built in like the S2 mount, or the brodit, but this is definatley usable, and the build quality almost justifies the UK price of £29.99.

I am waiting for the Infuse 4G dock to arrive in the UK from the US eBayer tech2date, so will make my final decision after that.

I've included some photo's for those of your in the same quandary I was in. the second last one (with the box) show the bottom of the dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Airbag888:
For some reason I cannot load the images.

Anyway I'm in the same boat as you (minus S3 the lack of official proper dock is a con to me) or was?

I have currently a S2 with the official dock. I too had issues at first to take the phone out and never really knew which way was best so as not to scratch the phone case.

Now I got a nice timing. Assuming your phone is in landscape position docked with the usb on your right side, I pull out the USB slider then pop out the top left corner of the phone then the rest comes out easy. To put in I slide in the right corners in place and push in the top and bottom corners by slightly pressing on the speaker/samsung logo area.

That said I don't understand why they wouldn't provide a similar dock. It just doesn't make sense. I'd love to hear your feedback about the infuse 4g dock as I want to purchase one myself. Particularly if you could tell us how solid it holds the phone and since the S3 is a bit longer how tight it is and how likely is the phone to pop out.

I should add there are some pretty bad roads here with potholes and as much as I try to avoid them sometimes I can't. I'd love to know how you believe the phone will stay in the dock under those conditions.

Thanks to you guys, I decided to get the Infuse 4G mount till a better one comes along...

I too bought the infuse mount but as mentioned will not stick to the dash. I also ordered the mountek CD drive mount but have not received it. My plan is to attach the infuse mount back plate to the mountek so I'll have a CD mounted powered usb connected vehicle mount. Had anyone tried something like this? I've seen others connect the infuse mount to exomounts and Nokia car mounts so I'm hopeful the ball joint screw part from mountek will work too. Whatcha think?
