Do the 50% codes work on the canadian site? if so could someone please share one?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] garyart1:
So I thought I was going to have a smart dock by Christmas. I was able to get in my order and got a confirmation it was ordered. When I checked my Samsung account today, it showed the order was cancelled. So I called and they said sorry we ran out and cancelled your order. I was disappointed to say the least but this is what got me angry. First my confirmation email states in bold this order can't be changed or cancelled. I guess that only applies if you want to cancel and not them. Second, I received no notice it was even cancelled. If I didn't check my account, I would still be waiting for it. Not great service on samsungs part.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theory douche, but if they suddenly have them in stock AFTER the 50% code expires (soon) for the bulk of us who bought after the launch, then it will be crystal clear that they did that on purpose out of greed. The dock is damn near the most expensive accessory they have at $99, and they know people want it.

Just sayin'.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] iahk:
The Allshare cast wireless hub is also $99 and plenty of people scored on that. I think Samsung is having distribution/manufacturing issues with these things. It's barely available anywhere.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LiTDiE:
I have got to get one of these:D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
Not nearly as in demand as the dock, though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Aren't ppl having problems with the Allshare cast thing?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] betelgeuse.aldebaran:
Maybe you can still have it by Amazon.fr (look for EDD-S20EWEGSTD). Sure it's not 50% off, but if you want it badly... :).

still no news about how to change the resolution of the output? This thing begs to have a higher resolution. If I can have that, then bye-bye my pc...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
You know, this is a good question. The video output is definitely as high as the resolution of the media that you are using (ie. HD), however the desktop resolution is 480p. It would be nice if the entire experience was in HD. I have not seen any info about this.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Smart Dock back in stock at Verizon, get it while you can :victory:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mi7chy:
I seem to have lost HDMI output. The only change was putting on a less than 1mm thin case. Anyone else experience this? Have to pry my case off to confirm.

Update: All is fine after removing the case so less than 1mm difference with the case on will cause issues with the Smart Dock. Time to find a dremel to open up the hole in the case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
Just got the Smart Dock, but unfortunately it does not work. My phone detects a dock, the keyboard and mouse work, and I get a message "HDMI connected" soon followed by "HDMI disconnected".

My monitor shows no picture at all!

Tried it with my monitor and my girlfriends as well as my and her phone (both Note 2). No combination results in any pictures on the monitors.

I am running OmegaROM v7.4 and she is running Paranoid Android v2.56.

I bought two one on eBay (which is the one not working) and another one on 'hoh.de'. I am guessing that either the one I've got right now might be broken, or both ROMs don't work with the Smart Dock.

Did someone else get the Smart Dock to work with either OmegaROM or Paranoid Android?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mi7chy:
Highly suspect it's the custom ROM. I remember on the Galaxy Note 10.1 forum that the dock for it will not work with Cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
I just confirmed that audio out works as well.

I am kind of hoping the dock is broken, because then I can just exchange it for a working one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jerry D:
I am not sure if the USA codes work on Canadian sites but I got my (Samsung U.S.A. ) 50 percent off code by registering my phone with Samsung. Have you registered your phone with Samsung yet?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amowagou:
What???????
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
Well out of the tree options:

1. This Smart Dock is broken and a working one will work for my Setup (OmegaROM)

2. It is all right and the only way to use it would be to go back to stock ROM

3. Smart Dock is incompatible with both my and my girlfriends monitor

Since I ordered 2 Smart Docks I will find out soon, each possibility would mean:

1. Both me and my girlfriend can use the Smart Dock, all I have to do is get the one that is currently not working exchanged for a good one.

2. No exchanging, an hunting for a ROM/Kernel that works with Smart Dock and everything else I have grown to love in OmegaROM or deciding if extra features or the Smart Dock are more important to me.

3. I have to return/sell both docks since they are incompatible with the hardware we already have.

From my point of view Option 1 is definitely the best, since I can then use the Smart Dock as I intended to, Option 2 means I have to compromize and Option 3 means I cant use the Smart Dock.

Although I do agree that Option 1 is the most likely, I hope for Option 1 as it would be a better outcome for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Guessing option 2 :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
@ FKlama

Is your flash counter at 0 and Samsung Official in DL mode?

I was just looking at the AllShare Dongle, and the main issues were that the flash counter had a count added.

With the Dongle, it doesn't matter if your stock or not, but the Flash Counter being at 0 makes the diff.

IDK if that applies here.. Just an idea. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] brochador:
i really want that, where can i buy it here in canada, tried searching in amazon, futureshop, and bestbuy (.ca) but i really can't find any..:(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
An interesting idea. I will look into resetting the flash counter, but don't know what you mean by "Samsung Official in DL mode". Could you explain what exactly that means?

It is definitely worth a try, especially if this is an issue with the AllShare Dongle.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LLanito:
no stock?

are there no smart docks on ebay for sale? i can't find any anywhere.

I was in UK the other week and had no luck either, it's like they don't exist :/

I have run 3 different custom ROMs on my ATT Note 2, and I have zero issues with my Smart Dock. I can't speak for any other variant of the N2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
You did not reset the flash counter, did you?

It seems that would leave me with Option 3's probability increasing. :(

Which 3 ROMs did you use the Smart Dock with?

I got the second SmartDock today, and have exactly the sama problems with it. Option 1's probability went down to neglible with that.

Maybe I should ask someone with a TV if I could try it, maybe our two computer monitors don't support 1080i. :(

Will look at the manual tonight to see if that might be the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
Here goes the 'monitor not compatible'-theory, my girlfriends monitor is from Samsung an definitely supports 1080i.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JDMr2:
The 2 things I had to make sure my rooted note 2 worked with the dongle was that my counter was 0 AND my status in settings was normal. Since you're on a rooted non stock rom, I'm pretty sure your status is currently "modified" correct?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
My girlfriend reset her Flash Counter, but still no go (with Paranoid Android). I will test it tomorrow when I have time...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Clockwerks77:
Just to ease the link searching, here is the link to reset your Note 2 flashing counter to 0: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
Never reset the flash count. The dock has worked for me with Jedi, Clean, and Saurom.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JDMr2:
And the system status?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
It seems HDMI out does not work with Paranoid Android, her system status is 'Official' though.

I will test it with mine later today.

I have asked in the OmegaROM Thread if Omega supports HDMI-out. Lets see what their reply is.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LLanito:
Was wondering what was needed so that you would be able to mirror the note onto the tv screen. .. Is it just the hdml cable and the dock? Or do we also need to get the mhl adapter?

I bought the smart dock today and I've been searching on this all day with no luck . If i do need the adaptor I'll probably cancel the transaction.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] standarduser:
You just need a standard HDMI cable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
I flashed a fresh OmegaROM (v8.0) today. I did a full wipe including the internal "SD-Card". Suddenly the dock just worked. TouchWhiz was crashing continually, but that is more of a bigger inconvenience than a real problem.

I'm not sure why exactly it works now, but I did not reset the flash-counter.

I could not get it into landscape mode with the mouse I had on hand, but since there are tools for that, it does not matter much.

Thanks again for your ideas and input.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] standarduser:
I have 2 questions about my smart dock. I'm using it right now, with a logitech wireless USB mouse, a Microsoft bluetooth 6000 keyboard, and an ASUS 24" monitor. Iread that when the device is in the dock and detects both a mouse and keyboard, it will turn the screen off. It does appear to sense the dock, due to the icon at the top of the screen, and the "page buddy" activates the Dock screen. However, the screen doesn't rotate, not does it turn the display off. It was easy enough to rotate the screen using "Ultimate Rotation Control" from Google Play, how I don't like that the screen remains on. Any ideas?

Also, when I connect the dock to an ASUS 22" monitor that I have, the screen blinks every 30 seconds or so. It's a single blink, almost like the HDMI signal faded, and the monitor is re-syncing to a different input frequency. It does this regardless if I'm using the device of it's just sitting idle. I have two of the 22"monitors and they behave the same. This 24" monitor has no problem with it.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pakure:
I think you need to have at least one of the keyboard or mouse connected with wires. ... to the dock to make the Screen landscape and shut off

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] standarduser:
I was using a Logitech USB wireless mouse. It uses the Logitech unifying receiver and the system just sees it as a USB (wired) mouse. I will try a traditional wired mouse tomorrow to see if it helps.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] holycow1:
Maybe because PA is AOSP based and the roms the other folks are talking about are TW based?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] standarduser:
I did some more testing with a regular wired (blah) mouse and keyboard. The keyboard doesn't matter, but once I had the wired mouse connected and put the phone in the dock, then it turned off the screen, and put the "dock home screen" (clock/calendar) up in landscape mode. So any thoughts on how it can tell the difference between the wired mouse and the wireless mouse. It's not a bluetooth mouse, it's a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. It works fine on PCs with mouse support in their BIOS, so I'm just guessing that it's "Transparent" to the system that it's wireless. Maybe it's sensing the current draw?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
I don't have a wired mouse, but with the one wireless mouse I have tried it I have the same problem. Will check with the other wireless mouse I have soon.

I just use "Ultimate Rotation Control". Not a very elegant solution, but gets the job done.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] standarduser:
I use the Ultimate Rotation Control as well. I agree; not perfect, but sufficient.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FKlama:
I also noticed that the picture is not really FullHD that way. The monitor resolution is, but the actual picture displayed has a lower resolution. I will test it with VLC to see if Movies have real FullHD.

If movies work in real FullHD, I would be happy, but if they too play with the phones resolution blown up to 1080p, then I might just buy a cheap wired USB-Mouse to see if it works then.

Anyone else experiencing a loose connector on their Smart Dock causing video to intermittently go out and the sound to pop? If I disconnect the power from the dock and connect directly to phone it's nice and snug.

Update: Ok, had to talk to tech support but the guy was understanding and processed an RMA with free overnight shipping. On another note, he's also getting the Note II when he's upgrade eligible. Cool...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Insane_Prawn:
So, did anyone take theirs apart yet? Or maybe someone can answer me this without taking it apart:

How is the audio jack of the smart dock connected? As I see it, it can't be connected like the "stupid"audio docks do it, using two data pins, as they're needed for the USB to work, right? So I'd assume the dock has a small USB DAC connected to its internal USB hub, right?

I'm asking because I bought a cheap audio dock and a mhl adaptor in order to make a sort of diy smart dock replica.it'd be not necessary but pretty cool to be able to keep the audio jack functional without having to use a DAC.

Edit:I wonder what happens when you connect the smart dock to a pc with the regular data cable.the hardware ID (use the device manager) might point out the eventual DAC
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] benofishal:
I suspect the audio is extracted from the HDMI feed and a DAC chip in the dock converts to analogue, shame they didn't include an optical or coax out.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Can someone confirm whether or not this dock charges in AC mode? Every other MHL adapter I know of drains the battery eventually due to the 500ma current limitation.

AC mode is enabled by shorting the two data pins on the USB side of the 11 pin connector, this is clearly not being done in the smart dock as this would break USB connectivity, therefore I am thinking this only charges in USB mode, therefore meaning the battery will drain whilst in use, albeit slowly.

You can check if charging in AC or USB mode by going into settings and then Battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
What do you guys use to connect the 3.5mm audio to your HDTV? My LG doesn't have a 3.5mm audio just a optical audio input :confused:

I know I can use Bluetooth so guess that will work in the meantime
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xKrisx:
I can confirm that it will not keep your phone charged if your using it heavily. However internet browsing or watching a movie from an external drive is fine, just dont expect it to charge really quick.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] daveid:
I just use the hdmi,it is meant to carry video and audio...

Deng that sucks. Thanks for lwttung us know though. Dunno why Samsung didnt keep the charge rate up on this.

I decided to buy the Samsung universal dock and buy the hdmi 11pin adapter since i already had an hdmi adapter for the OG note in hopes to save money. Ill report back once i receive it. 100$ for a dock that has hdmi and 3 not so necessary usb plugs is way too steep
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flexte:
My phone stays on charges up to 100% and stays there. I usually just watch movies from my thumb drive or listen to music. What do you consider heavy use?

Yeah, I don't have any problem, either. Heavy video with external drive doesn't affect my battery when plugged in to dock.

Does anyone know if this will wpek with the Otter Box Commuter case? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xKrisx:
Heavy use as playing Max Payne with Sixaxis BT going on as well, streaming HD video via HBO Go or Xfinity *netflix isnt as bad, and duel screen two extensive apps such as Netflix and a game. I said in my original post that watching a movie off of an external drive or just web browser would not drain the battery while connected.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] daveid:
I noticed no loss in quality when playing 720p video with a mouse or no mouse plugged in, tried both. My tv is only getting a 1080i picture, not 1080p as I had hoped/expected, but it still looks just as good as the source (cable tv).

Maybe the application I posted is more up your alley?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
I am not saying its big loss or anything, its quite subtle that most ppl wouldn't realize it. Not huge deal really just something to keep in mind if you care about it.

I am not rooted :(

I wish there was a way to trick the phone or the dock without having to use a wired mouse/keyboard since it takes up port and room, owell.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

Hi!

I will use Nexus 4 for video chat and recording a video (sometimes). I am looking for a vertical kickstand case.

Vertical kickstand:

I used PureGear Hard Shell Case with Kickstand for my Gnex, and I loved it because I don't have to hold the phone for using video chat, and it just stands for recording a video (I do few silly stunts).

Why vertical? I use facetime/talk all time. It has to be vertical stand because horizontal stand will not work on facetime/talk because it would be too wierd for my friends turning their head to see me. lol

Is there a vertical kickstand case for Nexus 4?

Thank you so much!

An update: I received the case, which is made of two parts (hard and soft). The softer part has a very strong vinyl smell which I am working to eliminate. The case fits well and is relatively light, though it adds plenty of bulk (and, I presume, protection commensurate with the extra material).

In other news, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 gave out and I'm in the process of receiving a replacement. When I receive it, I'll post the review! :)

OK, I want to backup my EFS before I start messing with my phone too much.

I am stock rooted. Only thing I have done is add CWM recovery and rooted.

When I get to the option to back up EFS, it asks me the following:

"Are you using a Custom Rom with insecure boot image or an insecure boot image flashed via odin or recovery?"

I don't know if to reply yes or no. I did use Odin and the file cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar to root. Then flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip

Also a separate question. I want to flash TWRP and get rid of CWM recovery. Is there anyway to do that? Thanks.

Side note: I posted this in the toolkit thread but haven't heard from anyone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
