I dont have any problems with lag. I have an HDMI / Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Combo / Terrabyte External Drive / and a wired USB mouse (to force natural landscape). I also have my PS3 controller and headset connected via bluetooth. I dont even carry my phone around with me at my apt anymore. My headset works everywhere in my apt. so I just dock my phone when I get home and undock when I leave.

Is the dock working with other roms then the samsung ones? I mean PA,CM, android 4.2.1?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xKrisx:
I honestly have no idea on other ROMs. I theme my own ROMs but leave the base stock.

TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A DOCK RIGHT NOW!

I called pretty much every tmobile/att/verizon in the orange county area.

http://www.frys.com/ac/storelocator/index.jsp

This store called frys electronics is mainly in california but there are many other locations.

I walked in asking for a smart dock and the employees are all morons from overseas that hardly speak english. But I was walking around the cell phone area and saw a small official samsung kiosk. In the kiosk accessory area was ONE smart dock, I almost cryed lol. But anyways... its worth a shot...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
Clean 3.5, works awesome. Never had any lag on any ROM with the dock. Not one bit.

Regarding the charging, could you confirm whether or not AC charging is displayed in the Settings, Battery menu, or whether it is just displaying USB charging.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] predation:
Best buy online shows stock. You just gotta have it sent to your house or do store pick up.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kusojiji:
It's definitely "AC charging":
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scottmog:
Incorrect, best buy online shows 5-7 days pick up correct? I went to best buy to do a stock check, no one in southern California has them in stock and even the warehouse shows zero in stock.

Read this thread and decided to call my local Verizon store, no deal. Called the other local one here in Austin, TX and they had two left. Reserved one and went to pick it up after work. Guy who reserved it was on a lunch and decided to end his lunch early to help out (or to make the sale, both work). He was cool enough to speak to his MGR and give me a 20% off deal if I bought both. So got both for 173 with taxes included.

I had planned on buying the smart dock for my TV and a regular charging dock for it to charge at night near my bed. Both would've been about 160 or so with taxes. Ended up spending just 10 bucks more for 2 smart docks and can use the second for the bedstand or to take to a friends when needed.

I'd recommend calling your local Verizon store and find out if they have any in stock if you still want one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pompsdai:
Pretty sweet. Wonder if itll work with the otter commuter with the usb flap cut off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jyveturkey:
Should work. It's pretty roomy.

No dice on the optical to mini plug. Figures. I'm sure it's an analog signal and no plug adapter is gonna pass that along a digital channel.

I would have got myself this gizmo if i could lay my hand on one. But unfortunately, people at the stores here in India don't even know what a Smart Dock is. #facepalm

Guys, is there any other way i can get the full functinality of this dock? Can i connect a wireless mouse and keyboard both at the same time? :angel: And then use an mhl adapter to charge my phone and mirror the screen? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xKrisx:
This is really odd to me to keep seeing random posts about screen lag over the doc. I can't replicate the issue on my phone regardless off how I hook it up. The only thing I can think of is.. are you running a custom ROM or Kernel amd have you tweaked anything. I run a themed LJC ROM with stock kernel and have no issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bastienvans:
I am running the Polish 4.1.2 rooted.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xKrisx:
Custom Kernel? I dont know lol. I would say revert to stock rom and kernel and test. I know that my screen test registers only 1 or 2 off my tv's fps monitor.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bastienvans:
Yeah I will reset to stock eventually. I am being lazy, lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I watched 4 hours of The Walking Dead today on my Samsung 64" using the Smart Dock and the fps was just fine. It was as crisp and clear as on the phone and looked great. Instead of returning it, offer it to one of these people who cant get their hands on one...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bastienvans:
How's the fps when you plug in a wired usb mouse? mine literally drops by at least 20.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] terra_droid:
I asked a friend who's based in the US to get me one. So excited. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scottmog:
I'm on completely stock rom. I had a wireless mouse/keyboard plugged in and ps3 controller via sixaxis. If someone has an snes emulator and the king of dragons game or final fight I can tell them exactly how to replicate it. Honestly any capcom game I think.

When you get hit in a side scrolling capcom game your character becomes hazy (looks sort of like a ghost). This effect happens because it flashes the characters image on and off very rapidly at about 60 fps. Now what happens to the image that is replicate is that some frames are lost. So instead of your character becoming hazy, and usually your character will dissappear while they should be hazy, because it is only replicating the odd frames or edd even for example. Now the snes fps is 60 fps, I'm wondering if there is a max fps for the hdmi out socket. Maybe 30 fps? Either way you can accomplish it easily, and it really just depends how much it bugs you. Oh yes and by the way the haze image of your character is replicated flawlessly on the note screen, but the tv screen is not replicated properly. If this hazing graphic is not being properly displayed then you can sure as hell believe that all other fps via hdmi are lower then 60.

No problems at all... I typically use my wireless keyboard and mouse, but I had an old wired one to test and the video doesnt change.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] betelgeuse.aldebaran:
I don't know if somebody had asked this, but can somebody tell me, please, how to output the sound to speaker line out (i have a small speaker attached to it)? I have tried to remove the hdmi cable, but the sound goes to internal speaker instead. Is there an app for it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] iampunX:
You can't directly connect a speaker to your 3.5mm jack. You'll need some kinda splitter to get the job done.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flexte:
I will ask again can we start a list of wireless mice that rotate the screen. only 1 of 4 automatically rotate the screen for me and the one that works is old and about to fail so I can not purchase it anywhere.

Placed an order for one here in Canada on rhe 14th of December, still hasn't showed. Called the supplier they said it's been pushed again to the 20th. I give up. Samsung lost this sale.

Other countries have seen this product already and are getting new stock, Canada has yet to see it. Pathetic.

Im planning to get this just so I can play games like NFS and Deadzone on it. But hearing from you guys there are some FPS issues. For those that already have the original MHL only dongle, how does it compare? Is the fps much better using that? I can't wait any longer lol, let me know thanks!

Strange. .I Check the Samsung website a few times a day just in case the smart dock shows up in stock and today I get "Page Not found".

I thought maybe my shortcut was broken or something so I went to the main Page and navigated back to the listing for the smart dock but when I click on it I still get the "not found" error.

Tried it again and it's about 50/50... sometimes clicking the buy button brings me to that horrible back order Page. Other times, the Error.

Oh well. Makes no difference. The stupid thing is still not in stock. :(

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] iampunX:
If I'm right about it the 3.5 jack is built to take both the ear piece and your mic together. Mebbe that's why it doesn't take the speakers alone. And your issue might be the result of a loose connecting. Turn it around for a while until sound comes out.

Lol, Samsung Canada just let me know the dock is backordered until the second week of February. "Cant keep up with demand". How is that? We've never seen in it in Canada!

Samsung galaxy note 2 smart dock availability & resolution

If you're looking for one, I just bought one from shopandroid.com for 89.99

Now my question is, is it possible to change the output resolution of the dock? Everything looks huge on the TV.

I'd appreciate any help.

I got one last week from shopandroid.com, I live in Qatar.

Been looking on eBay for one, there's only like three listed and they're trying to off them for like 250. Yeah, right!

My MHL connector won't work for some reason, picture and sound for a minute then starts cycling resolutions, comes back and repeats. I don't care if it's allcast, smart dock or what I just want my phone on my TV :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Haloruler64:
I have a Smart Dock at the moment and wanted to post my observations.

1. For audio through HDMI, make sure that in Settings > Accessory you have Audio output mode unchecked. For 3.5mm out, you have to have it checked.

2. My USB hub has a wired mouse connected to it that makes it go into landscape. Cyborg R.A.T.7 for anyone who cares. Works just fine.

3. 360 controller... doesn't work on CleanROM ATT SE 1.2. Neither through the dock or the USB OTG cable I have. Advice?

4. Needs to be hooked up to the outlet to even work. If it isn't charging, the dock doesn't work.

5. In landscape, scrolling through things is laggy as hell. But from the looks of it, while in portrait, videos play smooth (i used YouTube in portrait, it auto full screens and is smooth). I'll soon test video in landscape.

I'm actually doing a review on the thing, and it'll be more positive than some have done thanks to you guys helping me figure out how it works. So thank you, for making up for Samsung's lack of any documentation.

I got my dock two days ago. Generally very happy with it, though there is one annoying problem..

If I plug an external USB drive in, it will not see it. I use a split cable, so I plug the power cable and the connector into two USB sockets on the dock. Even though I get a light on the drive, it will not recognise the drive.

If I use an OTG cable, plug the power bit of the cable into my laptop and the connector on the drive, it works.

If I use another charger plug to power the drive, plug it into the dock, it works.

So the dock does not supply enough power to drive an external drive.

There are tons of hard drive enclosures that are self powered as opposed to usb powered. I would recommend one of those. I have a bunch of them that I'm about to put on ebay.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Insane_Prawn:
well, try connecting the data part to the dock and the power connector to your laptop/a second wall plug/whatever. the ports of the dock all gain from the same power source and are connected in parallel, so plugging both the data and the power connector of your hdd into the dock is like using the data cable only.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
I got mine in. It recognized my wireless logitech mouse but does not blank the display. When the display is not blank, my mouse does not work when a video or web video is playing. Also subtitles do not work when both displays are on. I had to plug in a wired mouse just to get it to blank the display. BUT it does not put the home pages in landscape mode. Videos and angry birds will auto rotate just fine.

It has three usbs port so having to plug in a wired mouse to make the display go blank is not a big deal.

Also I had to uninstall Chainfire Exynos Abuse APK or else my HDMI out will not work via the dock or via MHL adapter.

The charger that was supplied with my dock also has a ticking sound. But the one that came with my phone is fine and that's the one I've been using to power the dock. I haven't yet tried to use the charger that came with the dock, in fear of it frying my device or something. I know that it is normal for some chargers to make noise, but mine is loud enough to make me uncomfortable to use. I'm going to try to get a replacement from Samsung and see where it goes from there.

Logitech wireless mouse m325 will not blank the display and auto rotate apps like internet browser.

The N50 goes on sale often for $10. Watch slickdeal for it.

smart dock working with Galaxy note 10.1 (maybe!!!)

I am thinking if a simple converter MICRO USB FEMALE (conects to smart dock) to USB FEMALE (connects the data cable of Galaxy note 10.1) do the job....

Or connect the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 with the data cable and unlock the stupid portrait mode on the dock so you can play games or do anything you want like a simple MHL cable...

I have order this one cable MICRO USB FEMALE to USB FEMALE adapter

I think gonna works perfect (i dont know about the pins if it is 4 pin or 5 pin... maybe if it is 4 pins needs a mod to 5 pin to work... but i am comfused with the 11 pins samsung with OTG and MHL if they works together.. why not?) ... will see soon.

Anyone knows how many pins have the micro usb ON THE SMART DOCK? 4, 5 or 11 pins?
