I bought this for using Netflix to TV. I too want to make sure Netflix works with HDMI
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Waiting for my son to finally drift off to sleep and then hopefully get a chance to try this for you guys.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jamesd86:
Could you do use otg cable to powered hub with (link below) plugged into the hub and mhl adapter to it to do what the smart dock does on the cheap? I know it would be a mess of wires but 100 is alot of money.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=270798436083
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I don't think so, lots of us tried to get USB OTG and MHL working simultaneously when using an MHL cable and nobody managed it as far as I'm aware.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Cafeboy:
Can you post the apps that turn the screen off?

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Just read the answer to my question.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jamesd86:
Has anyone tried with the powered hub? Just out of curiosity... It could have drawing too much.

It's also a lot of cable changes so I'm not surprised it wouldn't work. Would love to see one of these opened up.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zaslamel42:
What he said. It'd be really useful on both this, and my Note 10.1! Was something that I found rather annoying when I was trying to watch a movie with the tablet on my tv. :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Ah, I did say which app. It's called Screen Standby.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Yeah, several of us tried with powered hubs.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] boodies:
What a steal at 100 dollars considering how it consolidates all the extra mess into 1 tiny freakin awesome unit.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] saifbukhari:
Truethat
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Seems to be quite a polarising accessory this one!

For people who already have USB keyboards and mice the $100 asking price compares pretty favourably against the cost of MHL+USB OTG+bluetooth gear I think, even before you consider the ability to use USB OTG and HDMI output simultaneously.

Investing in the bluetooth gear probably gives you a better assurance of forwards compatibility though, so that is something people should probably be thinking of.

Incidentally, my contact at Samsung says he expects a maintenance release firmware for the S3 to make it work with the dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brooon:
Where do you guys have found that horrible prices?? The official price (Samsung HP) is 79,90 € here in Europe, but you can even find mailorders where you can preorder it for 50 €...and I´m sure that the price will drop when the device is available.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdalacu:
Now, I just hope that Canonical would make a version of "Ubuntu for Android" for our phone, the dock was required.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brooon:
I´m sure, you have read my post two posts above yours, right?! I don´t get it...why is everybody complaining about a price that in fact isn´t real...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dk206:
nice ez Good seeing you on here!!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Well the first two have barely any of the features of the Smart Dock, since they'll only charge it and do USB connections to PCs - they won't do HDMI or USB OTG. Cannot in any way be construed as replacements for the Smart Dock.

The second one will do HDMI, which is nice, but again cannot do simultaneous USB OTG let alone open up multiple full-sized USB ports to do it. At the price that isn't such a bad deal though for what it does, particularly for people who already have bluetooth keyboards/mice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brooon:
As I´m very busy atm and don´t have the time to give you a decent feedback on your post, just the following comments:

1.) I think Samsung made a great decision to develop such an accessoire and I´m impressed by it´s capabilities (for only ~50 €, as I wrote several time here on the board)...I take it as a start in a great direction, maybe it´s kind of a "beta" thing again just to see if there are people out there how would like to see sth like this. I didn´t have the possibility to buy one yet but surely I will within the next months.

2.) Beside that: Your ideas are just great and I second every single one them ;) Your post is a good example to show how much can happen in near future if products like this get more into focus...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Oh I agree! I think it IS a step in the right direction. However, I also think that if Samsung really wants to assert their dominance at the top of the hill, they really need to take things to the next level. Coming out with a product like how I described above, if carefully thought out and executed well, would be a serious game changer in the marketplace, much like the iPad was a game changer a couple years ago.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] byuboy87:
I completely agree. $100 is robbery imo, but I may get it for $50.. the thing is, after buying the samsung infuse, I said I'd never be one of samsungs paid testers again... the infuse was the 1st phone (other than dell streak) bigger than the average 4.3" phone at the time. Samsung tested the market to see how bigger phones would do, & it was a success.. but the support was horrible. I know samsung is known for bad support, but any infuse owner can atest to how badly they left us out to dry, releasing s2 variants bigger only mobths later with better software.

I fear samsung is once again testing the market with these docks, & when they're a success, future versions will flourish while we who spend $100 bucks will again be left out to dry..lol.. sorry, ive been waiting abt 2yrs for that rant..lol..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Completely agree with Jade Eyed Wolf, there was a lot more scope here than Samsung has realised. Hopefully we'll see some of it realised later.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cal3thousand:
But there IS a way to get this device for ~$50.

Register your Note II on Samsung.com and you will receive a 50% off coupon code (for up to 10 accessories in 1 order; I just did this hours ago). Keep the code (It's good until the end of the year) for a couple weeks until the Smart Dock is released on their site.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

There's always hope if the blunder was not hardware.

The blunder here would be NOT offering such a device. Sure, it has its kinks and required workarounds for now. But this combination of hardware is not found outside of Samsung right now. Previous to this, playing games on your HDTV with a PS controller took a lot of work to get right. This is so easy, I'm sure a 10 year old could handle hooking it up.

And what other company offers a similar dock at a similar price? Of course it will go down in price as everything else does. I've been an HTC die hard since the G1, but with the respective directions that Sammy, HTC, and Android are heading, I find myself more attracted to Samsung's offerings, especially when they come out with hardware like this. I'm hoping the firmware will make up for the shortcomings. If Sammy doesn't do it, someone in XDA will. And that's why I love this place.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Exactly! That was basically the whole point of my post. The hardware is awesome! I like it. No blunder there. The blunder on Samsung's part is on the software side of things, not the hardware. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Which is exactly what I said in the review :)

Great minds...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Indeed ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Geronimo.USMC:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jjzeng:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brooon:
Come on mate...just read a bit ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
I can't get a straight answer out of Samsung on when the thing is going to be available in the US. It says 'Buy Now' on the website, but 'backordered' when you get to the purchase page. None of the support people know when it will be in stock. :eek:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cal3thousand:
I thought I saw something that said 2 weeks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brochador:
still out of stock from their website..

hopefully this will be available soon in futureshop and bestbuy here in canada..

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmetnitzer:
On Amazon Germany it's listed with 56.08€ but got poor customer reviews. I'm uncertain if i should order it... looks really cool though.

edit:

ok the poor reviews are because it is not fully functional with the Galaxy S3. I think I'm gonna go for it :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pyr0x64:
Disappointed... Amazon.de won't ship it to the UK :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Peter Galbavy:
Is that Amazon.de (who show no stock) or one of their market resellers - I have found .de always happy to ship to the UK.

Edit: Thanks for the pointers, I just order from "PreisCompany" fulfilled by amazon.de for €63.30 shipped.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pyr0x64:
ah, yes it was the market reseller who would not ship to the UK

Thanks for the info, I've placed an order with "PreisCompany" as well :)

Does this smart dock work with a cruzerlite case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flexte:
No rotaion app needed

the first time I connected my mouse and phone the screen automatically rotated and every app was full screen. today I plugged in a different mouse and it was just the small screen. I am not rooted. the other good thing about this moue is swiping to the left acts as a back button. I am sure there are other mice that will do the same. here is a pic of the one that works View attachment 1547648

**update** screen also shuts off with this dock on its on no app needed.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
Hey,

in latest firmware there is a update to S1Boot (to Version R10A21). I think most users who DONT USE PCC/SEUS will not have the update because Flashtool does not decrypt it correctly.

I packed it up into German Firmware, so if you are interested you can flash this Firmware and then just reflash ANY OTHER Firmware if you dont want to stay on German one. After S1Boot got updated it will stay updated no matter what Firmware you flash afterwards, becasue normally it is not included.

File can be downloaded here from my Firmware collection, directlink to Xperia T folder:

Hi Binary, Can I confirm that I can backup my current stock rom (7.0.A.3.195) using CWM recovery (advanced kernel v4), then flash this for S1 update, then (correct me if I am wrong please!) re-flash kernel and then restore rom via CWM: resulting in being back to my current rom but with S1 Boot update.

Also just check that I should use "Generic DE (S1Boot-Update).ftf" - is this the one you refer to in the OP.?

Thanks for your patience :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I updated via PCCompanion and my boot is

R10A118

WHich "latest" version did you get the new boot from? And what is new in it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] smardu:
Mine is R10A121 and it was flashed with Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
You included S1Boot Update too ?

Yep should work ;)

It is included inside the SEUS files for the 195 Version, but "problem" is that we need to update Flashtool so that it decrypts the File correctly. For now we only added the "alternate" decryption for Loader, now S1Boot seems to be updated too :) Which is quite good, maybe they add features in future like button for recovery :D

Cool :good:

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
Really no idea :D

Many many many many thanks :) :) :) :) Sure i would upload yours too if you like, but somehow i have to get them :D

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Stage, I flagged 195 via official method not flash tool, so why did I not have the update?

That's fantastic, really miss the option to reboot or reboot into recovery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
If you got it from PCC i dont know why you did not get it. Hope you did not understood me wrong. It is NOT implemented yet. I just hope that they WILL update is later on, with this possibility to update the S1Boot it would be possible from technical way ;)

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, I understand that, Can you check this firmware. Its the .ftf I made from my PCCompanion update. I dont know where to look to check the boot.

But i do get an update when i connect to pccompanion, allthough it gives me the same FW number, i thought that was strange but maybe its the new boot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
Do your PCC Files are 3 or 4 Files? If your firmware includes the S1Boot update then it should be 4 Files!!

IT CAN BE that the branding firmwares does NOT include the S1Boot update, maybe that is the reason ;)

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
ok, I only used 3 largest files. The rest were all really small files. I will download again and make a new branded one...that way we will know if branded versions have the new boot.

I will get too it after I have eaten.

EDIT

Weird,

PCCompanion says my current version is 7.0.A.1.303, whilst my phone says I am on 7.0.A.3.195....lets see what happens

EDIT

Looks like i am getting 4 files, 3 downloaded already and still the big one to go....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
Hehe.

The S1Boot is a FILE_XXXXXXX file with approx 330kb. But as i said Flashtool cannot decrypt now, it needs manual decryption.

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Check my second edit above, i do get that file now.

But guess what, (Like a noob) i forgot i cant use pccompanion anymore because of unlocked bootloader..D'oh

Anyway, any chance of instructions on how to manually decrypt it (Probably nothing simple) or if I send you the files can you incoorporate them into my .ftf so I can flash it?

I canthen also add a branded vodafobe version with the new boot to the ftf list.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harowa:
I need help to find out whish version S1Boot my lt30p has.

I tried to find the postet version numbers in the phone settings, I searched google, I installed SEUS .........

Nothing, I have no idea where you have the version numbers from.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
goto your dial pad and dial

*#*#7378423#*#*

then goto

service info>software info>

S1 Boot version is the third line down
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, tutorial for those who want to update to the latest S1 boot.

You can check your s1 boot version by doing this

Difficulty

Easy

Time taken

I did it in less than 10 minutes

1. Download one of the .ftf's from the OP that have the s1 boot update in title.

2.

make a backup of your current rom

3. Download, install and set up flashtool. (Link in the all in one thread)

4. Drag and drop the .ftf into the open window of flashtool.

5. Tick all the boxes that say

exclude

except the one that says

exclude uncategorized

Check the attached image

6. Flash the .ftf following flashtool instructions

7. Reboot phone and check your s1 boot version, it should now be updated

8. Reboot into recovery and restore your backup.

9. You are now on the latest s1 boot with the same rom you had before.

EDIT

Alternative Method.

Flash this LT30_7.0.A.3.195_Generic DE (S1Boot-ONLY).ftf - 725.46 KB

(N.B. It is reported to relock your bootloader, just unlock it again if thats the case, info taken from this post)

I just removed all the unnecassary files from one of the .ftf's provided by Bin4ry
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harowa:
*#*#7378423#*#*

is what you mean.

:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
yeah, use that, it works better :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harowa:
I found my phone already updated. I don't know how, because I changed to 7.0.A.3.195 with a self made ftf file I made with flashtool.

I used PC Companion to fetch the files but disconected phone until download.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Even easier: *#*#SERVICE#*#* ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
yes, but some people use dialpads without the letters....not many but some do.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Bin4ry:
To decrypt please use the attached very very old decrypter :D

You will get a tar.gz -> use 7zip and extract once, then use hexedit and see if you can read S1Boot if not then extract second time and look again =)

Great news about Doom tho, I was trying not to shout about it when he pm'd me last night but I guess the cat is well and truly out of the bag! Can't wait!

Lots of people have been disappointed by slow dev on the T, I think this is a little unfair on people like binary, fxp, codeworkx, Kali, tilal, champ; and others who are already putting in top work, but the addition of Doomlord the kernel king is a game changer...

flashes the kernel

I did

fastboot boot [kernel name here]

Note, you only use boot.img if the kernel is called boot.img, if its called something else you use that, thats why i used Tkernelv4.elf, because thats what my kernel is called.
