What i found out about the smartdock

Hello everyone, i wanted to share with you a few things that i found out while using this dock.

my video playback was realy stuttering as wel as my home screen, it just wasn't running as smooth as it should. i found out that the problem lies in

the auto rotation mode when connecting my wireless HP mouse (does the same as my wired mouse). I now use autorotation app and use a mouse that does not trigger the auto rotation off the smartdock. this works wonders! i now have super smooth video playback and, well everythinbg is just as smooth as it is on the phone screen.

I hope this info helps some people out. this issue botherd me for days before i found this out.

PS: does anyone of you guys know if it is possible to disable auto fullscreen for video's and turn the phone screen off without using a mouse?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ap27:
For turning the screen off, there's an app called ScreenStandby that works for me. Requires root though.

Hello my friends! I have red all the posts here and none of you mentioned something about the gaming experience while using the smart dock and external mouse and keyboard.. I found the gaming a little bit laggy and the response not so good...but I can live with it.. my serious problem is how to zoom in or out without having to touch the screen!! For e.x. while playing angry birds and sitting on your couch 3m away from the dock using wireless mouse and keyboard.... mouse wheel doesnt do the job.....anyone that has any solution???? Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
Have you tried CTRL + combination?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
Yes but it doesnt work!! Does it work with you? Can you please try it??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
Why not just zoom it on the TV?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
I am afraid I dont understand what you mean exactly...how I do that?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
What brand and kind of TV do you have? There is usually a zoom function now a days by the click of your remote.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
It is a two year old lg tv ....no zoom function, but even if it was possible, it wouldnt resolve the problem because it would zoom in, the projected area from the dock to the tv and not the actual gameplay, hope u understand what I mean. ..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
I'm getting stupid as fvck hahaha!

Do you mean, you want to make for example, Angry Birds on your TV take on the entire screen?

Or becuase your problem is, it only takes the middle screen because it's on Portrait mode?

Or I'm stupid and not helping at all? LOL
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
Hahaha! No no you are not stupid my friend and thank you for trying to help. First of all lets take an example: angrybirds. When you play on the phone screen you have to zoom out if you want to have a fully calculated and successful shot. Correct? Now, having connected the note2 to the dock, angrybirds is shown on the tv monitor in full screen landscape mode, no problem with that at all. Wireless keyboard and mouse are also connected into the dock usb ports in order to operate the note2 (and thus the game) from distance. I can do all the moves using the mouse or keyboard BUT I cannot perform the very needed "zoom out" I mentioned before using mouse or keyboard! The only way is to go to note2 screen an touch it, but all this beats the perpose and cannot play the game without touching the phone. I hope u understand now and braistorm help me !:D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
Ah you mean pinch in to zoom out and pinch out to zoom out when playing Angry Birds is what you mean? :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
Yes I think this is the right term, pinch :D So., any ideas????
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Simone:
There will be a keyboard key or a mouse swerve that might do the trick. I am sorry I could not help you further for I have not encountered this before.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ciscosec:
Come on guys!! Anyone? heeeeelp!!

SoundAbout

Download "SoundAbout" from the market. In the settings, under dock setting, uncheck the analog box. Worked for me. Seems that it forces audio through digital, being HDMI.

Note 2 Smart Dock works with the Note 3

Actually, I think I saw a video on youtube where you do need to plug the power source in for the smart dock in order for it to work. In any case, great dock, I bought two and it also works with the Note 3!!! Check out the vids I found on youtube:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] its_ja10:
just out of curiosity, what can the usb ports be used for? HDMI is obvious, micro usb for charging/connecting to laptop.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ap27:
The Micro-USB is for charging. I believe it can charge the phone when connected to a laptop or the wall, but the HDMI out will only work if the microUSB port is connected to a wall charger.

The USB ports are for other accessories. Keyboard/Mice work right away, even the wireless dongle ones. External hard drives and flash drives also work.USB-SD card readers work as well. All of them are detected by the phone and you can access the content on them. I've had no trouble playing HD video from an external drive to a monitor through HDMI. All processing is done by the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] its_ja10:
Thanks for the reply. Very helpful. If I done get the smart dock and get the multimedia dock with hdmi and usb ports, will it still work the same?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ap27:
I think the Smart Dock is the only one with the USB ports. The multimedia dock only has HDMI out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] its_ja10:
talking about this

http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Mult...8&qid=1382989396&sr=8-12&keywords=note+2+dock

it's much cheaper
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ap27:
Interesting! I've never seen it before so I can't really comment on whether it will work. Definitely a deal at that price if it has USB and HDMI functionality. I guess its up to you to test it out and get back to us :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrruin:
I just want to add to someone above stating that 4.3 fixed issues with the smartdock. While I have not tested anything extensively I did try to plug in a USB mouse dongle to see if the FPS drop was still present or not when a mouse was attached and the screen turned off. I can happily say that this problem has been fixed with the 4.3 mj5 ROM (Joeldroid) I am using. If you have put away your smartdock because of this very annoying framrate issue you may want to give it another chance with those 4.3 ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xklakoux:
Thanks for information! Let us know if you test it more deeply, so we know if all the problems are gone.

And for all you guys to know, if you try to use male USB to male USB cable to connect your phone to the computer (ADB) through full sized usb in dock, it won't work. It will only work if you connect micro USB to computer but then dock is not properly powered thus nonfunctional.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatmeat:
Can anyone tell me if is possible conect the dock to a VGA projector using a hdmi/vga adaptor? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bahtsiz_bedevi:
I have the Smart Dock. It works fine with TVs but unfortunately I don't have a projector. Most likely it'll work because Smart Dock outputs video via HDMI. If your VGA adapter works with a laptop etc, it'll work fine with Smart Dock too
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drchohan:
Great Accessory

It is great and can be used as a replacement computer and media center. When I will retire my note 2 I will plug it permanently in dock and leave it near TV for great android and web experience on Big screen.

Very interesting.. But what's all about?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] smokin901:
Very intresting trying now.

Just a heads up if you are flashing recovery_raw directly on CLK you will have to resize the partition size to 7MB

mounting of sd-ext(ext3/ext4) partition is supported but has to be done by command line. ie adb shell.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Getting better battery life is a struggle most mobile device users will have for the foreseeable future. Even if advanced batteries are released that give users two days of heavy use, there will naturally be a script, an application, and a kernel tweak to improve this figure further. As batteries get better, so do battery applications. Now, a new tool has been released that’s looking to be the best.

The application is called One Power Guard. Made by XDA Forum Member fonter, it is designed for rooted and custom ROM users. It brings an all-in-one approach to battery life and phone tweaking. You can adjust pretty much anything, including the I/O scheduler, CPU governor, CPU over- or under-clocking, settings tweaks, and more. There are also six modes you can choose from that tweak your phone for you. They include:

AI Mode: It intelligently adjusts cpu frequency and optimizes kernel to greatly extend battery time according to system loading.

Powersave Mode: It runs devices under low frequency to extend standby time.

Game/Video Mode: It provides flow game and video experience while offering satisfactory power-saving strategy.

Call Mode: It powers up the core function of phone conservation. For business persons trapping by phone.

Standby Mode: It lowers system frequency and prolongs stand-by time to the extreme. For sleepers and dreamers.

Custom Mode: It indulges pros to customize cpu frequence, scheduling and io adjustment, and to choose parameters of their own.

It’s a really nice application for those who don’t want to re-tweak their phone after every ROM flash and those who don’t know how to tweak their phones manually. For additional information on how each mode works and download links, check out the original thread.

You can try One Power Guard, Download from onexuan.com

I lol'ed at the fact that they state it's for android, yet it has a picture of an iPhone. I'll have to try this. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
trying this out, we'll see how well it does compared to the others
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
OK app works much better than anyone I've tried for this matter, doesn't help too too much but it does make a little bit of difference, also this should be obvious but it does slow the system down a bit, and i also had some conflicts with it changing kernel values but I'd rate it a 3.5 out of 5 for what it does though when compared to other apps four the same thing out would be a 4.5-5 not a full 5 because there has to be done room for improvement
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Thanks for the info, i'll give this a try your settings.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
Settings i used on the app? I just chose ai mode
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
I'd have to give this probably a 3.5 as well, could be better with a widget for one thing. I used ai most of the time, but when I went to custom mode and changed the frequency for max to 1200, it didn't change it and left it at 200. It did provide a good bit of information though!

Something to have the feature "screen mode" back on the phone or at least be able to adjust the screen color? There has to be something I can do, it feels like its always on dynamic and the colors are to saturated. Maybe an app, maybe a filter, something...

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Toro

Bootloader version: PRIMELA03

Baseband version: I515

Android version 4.1.1

Miui.US 2.9.14.0

Clockwork recovery v5.5.0.4

I was previously running Vicious Jelly bean and installed Miui.US. Since then my phone constantly reboots within a few seconds of booting up. I have tried flashing to a different ROM and flashing back to stock several times using different tools and also from command line. I have also tried going back to stock via ODIN. All have failed and the phone always restores itself to the previous state. I have searched for recovery-from-boot.p in /system and other locations but cannot find it.

My Droid is currently unusable. Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr01d4l1f3:
Does anyone know what would cause the phone to keep restoring its previous state ? As I mentioned I have looked for the recovery-from-boot script and cannot find it. Thanks!

1) did you wipe data/cache when you switched roms?

2) dont use odin, its not really supported for this phone. learn fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

3) recovery-from-boot.p has nothing to do with what you are talking about. all that does is restore the stock recovery. ODIN is failing for another reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr01d4l1f3:
Zepius,

Thanks for the response.

1) did you wipe data/cache when you switched roms?

I have wiped data and cache several times after I switched. Both from within recovery and running command 'fastboot erase cache'

2) dont use odin, its not really supported for this phone. learn fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1626895

I have followed this manual and others and have become familiar with the process. I complete all the steps and issue the 'fastboot reboot' command. The phone reboots back into the previous state

3) recovery-from-boot.p has nothing to do with what you are talking about. all that does is restore the stock recovery. ODIN is failing for another reason.

I'm grasping for straws here, not sure what else I need/can do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdexsw:
This is what do every time for ANY rom and never have issues.

I also restore data with TB after successful flash and startup, then I login into Google.

Using clockworkmod touch recovery 6.0.1.5

Under mounts & storage:

Format....system

Format....cache

Format....data

Then install ROM of your choice.

If installing custom kernel waiting until the device has fully booted up to setup screen and then reboot to recovery and install your favorite kernel.

If flashing mods and such you need to reboot after each flash otherwise you could bootloop or get stuck at Google logo....

If using twrp it has a feature that allows flashing multiple zips.....with miui it has caused intermittent problems on some users devices.

Hope this helps.....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Ill never understand why people dont learn stuff like this before they start flashing roms in the first place. These steps are common knowledge and easily attainable information. Maybe this post will help some poor android noob fight the urge to post an unnecessary topic in the future and stop panicking and restoring their phone to stock when they soft brick it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdexsw:
Odin fails because it is not fully compatible with CDMA radios....meaning that it cannot flash the baseband/radio for cdma devices....well at least it doesn't for Verizon gnex.

You need to manually flash your devices images using fast boot. This can take awhile.....if you don't know what you are doing then READ first before doing so. Make sure you have the proper images.

Or look for P3Droid All-n-One-JB-Installer zip, flash it from cwm recovery. It will get you pure stock running a rooted jelly bean ROM. That's the best you can hope for....

Also before flashing follow the steps I listed above.....

Goodluck
