Wheyy!!! Check this out y'all will blow your socks off!

People who wanted soo much to turn their phone into a multimedia centre like the pc, sporting a Large HD TV screen and using dual game controllers playing arcade games or watching online movies or browsing the web or chatting through their phone can now finally do it in a better way, one which makes more sense!

The problem with current and past phones was that the phones needed to support MHL technology to connect to a large screen but even after that couldnt connect their usb devices and get them to work becuase of the complications regarding simultaneous MHL + usb OTG. However that was solved for the galaxy s3 and note 2 by using a different 11-pin usb connector and not the standard 5-pin connector, but not for all other android devices. All other android devices were stuck or had to either use bluetooth connection to get the same effect even though it didnt work too smoothly.

Fear not! Here is the solution! A 22" USB HD LED TV!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AOC-myCon...mputerComponents_Monitors&hash=item2c6c83d2c1

Simply connect your USB LED HD TV to one of the otg ports(can also use an otg hub) which will also have the usb game controller in and away you go.

THIS IS AN AWESOME THING! COSTS ONLY £105!!! THE SAMSUNG MHL+OTG HUB COSTS £65 ALONE!!!

does our phone even support USB video out???

Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't this monitor certified only for windows/mac? without proper drivers I don't think it will work :o

Hello @ all,

I have the smart dock for a few days, but it doesn't work complete correctly. My S3 would be charged, I can mount USB-Sticks, Mouse, Keyboards etc, i get sound over the extra audio jack but there is no output at hdmi!!

I have the android Version 4.1.2, the german one (I`ve read, that this would work properly).

Know anyone any help?

Thank you for your efforts.....

Hi,

My i9300 - cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RC2 shuts off when it's on the station. i tried whith a galaxy s3 mini but it doesn't plug.

Do you think it could be caused by cyanogen?

thank you for your answers.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulyDerek:
Hi Guys,

When you take a screenshot with your spen (click button and hold on screen), your screenshot gets opened automatically in an annotation app.

Any idea what that annotation app is?? Can you open a previously taken screenshot with that app ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
Go to gallery>any pic. Press menu. Select Edit.

It will take you to an app in Samsung Apps. Its called Photo Editor. You can get it from there :) the full app is excellent! With many more features :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulyDerek:
I have Photo Editor which I had downloaded from the Samsung Store. Is it that app then which opens automatically when you take a screenshot with the spen?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
Yup.

Positive.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
l think it is just built in as a part of the screenshot app itself. It looks different to photo editor, but you can do the same thing with photo editor anyway lol.
[Galaxy Note II General] dt0:
My girlfriend wants to buy the Note 2, but I'm concerned that it's SAMOLED display has the same yellow tinting on grey backgrounds

as the Galaxy S2 (that I have) and the Galaxy Nexus.

Any comments on this? Preferably from people that have seen this issue on a phone and know what to look for.

Any other things to look out for when buying it?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Aint no yellow tinting on note2! :D

Because the battery does not overheat :)
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
search, there are a few threads/posts already regarding this!

in short: i had three devices so far, one of them had a bad yellow tint, the other two had minor subpixel-flaws

and one bigger dust particle between glass and panel!!

the tint issue is due to several things: coating, and production quality differences in AMOLED production.

you'll have to cherry-pick your device if you want to have a perfect screen, on the note1 it took me about

10 devices until i was satisfied...
[Galaxy Note II General] Psyklon:
I've seen four Note 2 devices so far, and no yellow tint on any of them.
[Galaxy Note II General] trellva25:
Minor subpixel flaws? what is that? don't even knw wat that means
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Yes, mine have slight yellowish tint on the whole screen. I just use Screen Adjuster and +7 blue which makes it less yellowish. I'm not a man to give and try to dozen devices to find a perfect one.
[Galaxy Note II General] dt0:
Thanks everybody for the replies!

What I'm inferring is that samsung (after more than 3 devices in production) still has troubles to make

a defect-free display with the SAMOLED technology.

Kind of ridiculous.

Anyway, my girlfriend is not going to do that device switching game, so she'll probably find another.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nutsonfire:
Mine has a yellowish tint also. You can see it more at lower brightness. The screen is great though compared to my galaxy nexus. I think they all have it and some people just dont notice it or less. Its funny because if you look a the screen at an angle the tint disappears.
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
true. some people, if not most, do not care for this kind of fault! otherwise samsung would not being able to make profit! ;)

the thing with "if you look ... at an angle and the tint disappears" makes it even WORSE! because this way you will always notice the difference!

correct! or, if you look above, it is indeed the correct strategy taking into account that most people do not care. or even know...

sorry. to be more directly: defect subpixels. R good B good G bad is the worst case, because the human eye is most sensitive in green!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyper91:
Hey, I recently got my i9300 stolen and I am getting it back on insurance, however I was thinking to sell the new handset they give me and instead buy the LTE version PAYG from Orange (UK resident here).

Only issue is no-one in the Orange and T-Mobile branches can clarify to me whether the model has 2GB of RAM and is indeed the i9305.

In orange the phone they had on display under LTE version under 'About Device' showed to be i9300's with 1GB RAM but I'm guessing that's because they've just used a standard S3 for the sake of display?

No staff for some reason know whether it has the extra Gb of RAM, most people just stating the only difference is LTE.

In T-Mobile, the guy at least had the courtesy to say it WAS the i9305 they sell, but the device was locked if I tried to go to RAM manager or About.

My question is if anyone has bought a handset from Orange (only 450) and whether it is indeed the i9305 with 2GB RAM.

Also my second question I guess is, is there any point me getting this model or should I just keep my standard handset. I'm assuming as an ORange customer I could migrate to EE when it launches but I'm just not sure.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chwads2k8:
personally if u enjoyed the s3 and samsung then go for it but i wudnt pay for another samsung roo problematic unless u wana flash custom roms to overcome them.

i too was thinkin the same but not confident with samsing the normal s3 is a big let dwn
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
I would go for it, because the phone will be as future proof as possible, 2GB RAM will allow heavy multi-tasking, and LTE will be there when it comes to your area.

And about them not knowing whether the ones in stock are I9305, go up to them and say "Oi clueless guy get a box and check what it says" seriously they turned me down for a job when I know more about Android than the iSheep that work there.

I might walk in sometime and ask them loads of technical questions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
I assume it cant be phone insurance you got with the phone then as you have no choice but to get a replacement of the same model I would have though. Given the choice i'd get the updated model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
What the OP said is he plans to get a replacement I9300, then sell it to get an I9305 and I was just saying I would.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaz2sxy:
Get the i9305.

easiest way to find out it is the i9305 is to look at the box and it is on the bottom left at the back of the box.

also it would be locked to orange
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
+1 I9305. enough said i think you have more then enough opinions. Ill see you in the I9305 forum :P bye for now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyper91:
lol yeah i got it in the end :D sooo nice to go back to the S3 from the now heavily dated desire HD.

the box doesn't state the 2GB RAM, and they told me if I open the box to check the phone, I have to pay first :|

you're right, they know nothing, I saw the model number and said well if it's i9305 it's 2GB RAM to which the sales assistant retorted (quite cockily i might add) no the 2GB RAM is a model only available in Japan the only difference with this is LTE.

Well luckily I knew my stuff so bought it, checked, 1.75GB of RAM on my system and a nice titanium grey finish.

felt the sting horribly on my bank card though, need to sell the replacement phone now (any takers...).

for anyone wondering I live in Nottingham which should be getting 4G by the end of the year so I felt it was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

THIS BULL**** LIFE STORY ASIDE ---------

I'm assuming I can't flash a ROM made for the i9300? anyone know where to browse some interesting i9305 ones?

it's rooted and CWM'd up but I'm already wanting to try something different and less bloaty.

thanks for your input guys :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mys3:
cant flash i9300 roms unfortunately:crying: but hopefully as more of us get onboard their maybe some more development soon:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahuss65:
Breaking my cherry post...

I'm also looking to break my android cherry, having been an iOS user so excuse the noob questions. I have been looking to get a i9305 from Orange. My question is if I get the phone from orange, have it unlocked but not rooted and use a sim card from another carrier like O2 or vodafone will I still get OTA updates as those network carriers don't even sell the i9305.

I'm probably going to go with T-Mobile as they have a good sim only deal at the moment but as only Orange sell the phone on payg, would a T-Mobile sim work without having to unlock the phone?

Lastly how easy is it to remove the stuff that network carriers put on the phone, simple a case of deleting apps or is that where rooting comes in?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
Updated the phone to the latest PA 10/15 build, flashed SU then gapps. After letting everything settled in, boot into recovery and flashed IX kernel 6.3.6 like I always do after every PA updates,but this time my phone won't boot at all, wont even boot into download mode. Stays on the black screen, won't even vibrate. I tried taking off the battery and plugging it in on the computer and outlet. Nothing works. Its hard-bricked. I sure don't have the money to sent it over for JTAG since I don't get paid till next week plus this is my work phone. WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO?

Those USB JIG works from Ebay?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Jig probably won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
It doesn't hurt to try those usb jigs its only less than 2 dollars plus free shipping. Won't hurt a bit,but knowing those won't ship in for a week or two.

Any other alternative rather than sending it for JTag service?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Build your own jig with resistors today and find out if it works.

Try taking out the battery and plugging it in and putting the battery back in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I'm doubting what you did is what bricked It if indeed it is bricked. Doesn't make sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
I honestly don't know. Before I flashed the PA 10/15 build I normally wipe cache, dalvik, format/system then flash the rom/su/gapps then reboot. After that I just installed InstigatorX kernel, rebooted then went on to a blank screen, never to turn on again no matter what I do.

I have never experienced this on the previous PA build with instigator X not saying its new builds fault,but thats honestly what I did.

I've had my faults of flashing roms on wrong devices before,but I greatly learned from that. So don't think I flashed the wrong kernel since I only have one kernel saved up on my computer and saved on on my device sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Had your phone been acting funny beforehand? Seems like you did everything right, and others are running the 10/15 PA build just fine. You might have had one of those wonderful fluke bricks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Sounds like a bad kernel flash. That's usually what bricks a skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
Is there a counter for that? Fix? or just JTAG is the only solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
If you're hard-bricked, JTAG or warranty are the only ways out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
Never experienced anything unusual and I know I did things right. Only weird funny things that happen to my phone is a few screen flickers on the previous build and I used build.prop to smooth those out. And on PA 2.15 my phone will occasionally randomly shutdown,but gets back on within seconds. I never OC btw. Always keep on stock frequency.

Can I lie to Samsung about the device not being rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Sure, you can do whatever your heart desires.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
Lol would they investigate if the phone is rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
They can't investigate anything if it doesn't turn on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Z33type:
I pretty much told them I did the ICS update then my phone won't turn on from there. And that I barely bought the phone from Craigslist yesterday.

They believed it just a little scared if they found out that my phone is rooted and starts to charge me restocking fee or whatever they do.

This what they told me

Arwyn: Please hold while check the warranty details.

Visitor: ok

Arwyn: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.

Arwyn: Thank you for holding.

Arwyn: I see that device is in warranty till March 5th, 2013.

Visitor: awesome

EDIT: This Arwyn Samsung tech support really something

Arwyn: Are you using the same charger and the battery that came with the device?

Visitor: yes its all oem

Arwyn: Do you see any error message on the device?

Visitor: none

Visitor: Like I said the phone does not turn on at all

Visitor: soft keys don't even light up

Visitor: no vibrations, no boot screen, no boot animations or anything

Arwyn: What do you see on the device screen?

OK NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO SEND MY DEVICE FOR SERVICE AND REPAIRS COVERED BY WARRANTY. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA TO DO? SINCE MY PHONE IS COMPLETELY ROOTED, HAS A ROM AND CUSTOM KERNEL. LET ME KNOW PLEASE BECAUSE THIS ARWYN PERSON SAID THEY ARE GOING TO DIAGNOSE WHAT CAUSED IT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I don't think its a huge deal. Just send it in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RastarNation:
Are they asking you to send it in without issuing you out a replacement device or to send it in once you receive a replacement device? If its the first option it doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Sounds like they might actually check it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Samsung never gives you a replacement device. They will just flash a new firmware to it. If they can't they'll give you a new phone. I'd do it if I where you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
1. Stop shouting.

2. Just do it. Worst thing that can happen is they say no. That said, if they can't get the phone to boot, they'll just send a refurb. If they can get it into download mode, they'll just flash the new firmware and wipe your tracks. Even if they do somehow see that it was rooted (i.e., they boot it into the OS), they'll just tell you that the warranty is void, and the repairs will cost X if you choose to go ahead with them.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] mon3esh:
i try to connect a usb flash memory to my tab 2 and i follow a trick

i get female-to-female usb adapter and connected it to the galaxy tab 2 usb adapter (that comes with it in the box)

then connect to it a usb flash memory , but my tab didn't read any thing

so after searching,using my avometer and making tests between my tab and my lab i concluded that:

-the female-to-female usb adapter is working probably

-there is no 5v output on the usb male adapter so i think because that the terminal device can't be read

please help me, any one can explain that?

is the manufacture close that property or my android is crushed or must be a microcontroller in otg to work,.... or what??

The following link shows how to make your own OTG cable (for another device). http://tech2.in.com/how-to/accessor...sb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone/319982. So there is some additional connection b/w pin 4 & 5 that makes it works as OTG cable.

Is it worth the hassle? I am not sure. I got OTG cable for $0.99 in ebay. Before buying it I tried female USB cable like OP and failed.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] mon3esh:
thanks for every one tries to help

i found the reason

the secret in the 30 pin connector

which its pins are grouped each group is serves another connector in the another side of cable

so the group of usb has a pin named otg responsible for turning your cable to otg cable

so in the usb male connector it is not connected

so i think that is why samsung didn't built in its tabs a micro usb port and built this port instead it "to can market its accessories"
