[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bbfoto:
I have the Smart Dock for my Note II and it works well. I haven't received my Int'l 3G Note 8.0 yet to test it, but it's good to hear that others have it working. :)

Since the Smart Dock holds both devices in Portrait orientation, it will not automatically put the display in Landscape mode unless you are playing a video. You would have to use a 3rd party app such as "Orientation Control".

I doubt you could write on the Note 8.0's screen successfully while in the dock. The dock is roughly 3" square and is not heavy enough to stabilize the tab for anything but very light screen taps or swipes. The device is not secured in the dock other than the by microUSB connector. The device just rests in the dock under its own weight, vertically.

The Smart Dock is not made to hold the device physically in a Landscape orientation. I'm not sure if a microUSB-to-microUSB extension cable would work to retain the functions and allow a separate landscape "holder" or case/cover to be used without the actual Smart Dock attached? Hmmm...

Oh, AFAIK, and I've researched fairly thoroughly, I couldn't find any other way to achieve HDMI, Audio, and USB OTG simultaneously. You might be able to use the Allcast Media Hub for wireless HDMI & Audio, and then connect a USB OTG adapter to the Note 8.0's microUSB/MHL port, but I haven't tested that.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] agambhandari:
Thanks, it was very helpful. I was thinking of getting the Smart Dock in lieu of the HDMI adapter. USB-OTG + HDMI at same time isn't much of a necessity for me. HDMI is still primary for me. Audio, when required could be used from the 3.5 mm jack.

Guess, it would be better to go for the HDMI adapter.

BTW, do you have any experience on HDMI to VGA converters?Do they work well? Actually I need to hook up the Note 8.0 to a VGA projector?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bbfoto:
^No worries.

I don't have a ton of experience with HDMI-to-VGA adapters, but I would trust the people at the following link to steer you in the right direction...

http://www.comprehensivecable.com/

Click on the "Adapters" tab, have a look, then shoot them an email. They're very helpful and knowledgeable.

You might also try http://www.monoprice.com

VGA doesn't carry Audio signals, so you would most likely need a unit that would extract the audio from the HDMI as well as the Video signal, and then route the Audio to a separate connector/cable. I have seen some VGA cables that also have a 3.5mm Stereo audio plug at each end, so you can hook up the audio output from your PC's sound card and plug it into the 3.5mm audio Jack on most video projectors. You can find these at http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=180-285

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] agambhandari:
Yes, I have seen some which can extract audio from the HDMI feed.

There are a number of listings on eBay in my country. I would love to get it from a reliable website, but most of them are overseas and the customs department in India makes it a lot of hassle.

I ordered a display adapter from dx.com once. No problems with website or the product, but it was held up for a month at the customs office and finally I had to pay a 50% duty as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Ravanous:
I picked up a smart dock today and I am playing with it right now.

Some issues, having to repower up the dock for usb to work after tablet is inserted.

And I am not having any sound come out of the 3.5 jack on the back of the dock.

Also it I am using a HDMI to DVI adaptor for my moniter and I am using an orentation control app with it.

Wish it worked with my Galaxy s3.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bbfoto:
Is your Note 8.0 battery level above 80% when you put it in the dock? If not, the tablet will draw too much power from the power adapter just to CHARGE the tablet, and the USB ports do not have sufficient power. If your tablet or phone battery is over 80%, this isn't a problem and you shouldn't have to "re-Dock" it to get the USB ports to work. Samsung should have made the power adapter more powerful (3 or 4 amps).

To get audio output from the 3.5mm rear Jack, you need to go into SETTINGS > ACCESSORY > AUDIO OUTPUT MODE, and Check the box for "Use External Speakers when device is Docked".
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] agambhandari:
Just to be clear, are you able to Use the S-Pen when docked, any way to keep the tablet physically in a landscape position?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bbfoto:
I thought I had answered your Portrait/Landscape question in paragraphs 3 & 4 of Post #4? Read through it again. The smart dock does not hold the tablet in a Landscape (horizontal) orientation at all. You could possibly use a case or cover on the Note 8.0 that would hold it in landscape, or use Samsung's Note 8.0 Car Mount and then connect the tablet to the Smart Dock with a 11-pin Male-to-Female micro-USB extension cable.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] agambhandari:
Yes, I had already read your post.

But the other member claimed to have already used it with the Note8, whereas you told me that you were still expecting your note 8, so I was keen to know more about the actual experience of a user.

BTW, Do you know if 11 pin USB extension cables are available?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bbfoto:
Take a look at a picture of the smart dock, or look at nztechfreak's YouTube review of it. Just from its physical size and design there is no way that the Smart Dock can support or hold a tablet in a Landscape or horizontal position when on a desk/flat surface...or any surface.

For reference, I just tried my Note II in the Smart Dock with the phone and dock laying on its side. The dock will hold the Note II in landscape position, but the phone is at a perfect 90° angle to the table's surface, which makes it hard to use the touchscreen, and it will easily become undocked, as there is no pressure or weight to secure the device. And there is nothing directly behind the phone to keep it from moving or sliding back when you press the screen. Also, at least one USB port will be inaccessible because it or they will be against the table's surface when the dock is laying on its side. This dock was simply made to only hold a PHONE (either the Note II, SGS3, or SGS4) in a vertical Portrait position. It's obvious from the design that it was not made for landscape use whatsoever. It just happens to hold the Note II on its side because the dock is the same width as the phone.

I don't believe that Samsung will ever make a LANDSCAPE Desk dock for the Note 8.0. It is clear from its general design that Samsung intended this tablet to be used as a "Notepad" in a Portrait (vertical) orientation. The only odd exception is the position of the IR Blaster on the side (the SGS4 IR Blaster is on the top). I would definitely like a landscape desk dock as well, but I'm not convinced that it would be practical for this particular tablet. However, there is a car/windshield mount listed on Samsung's web site that looks like it will hold the tablet in landscape mode.

I'm searching for the extension cables now and will post here if & when I find them.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Ravanous:
I never tried the S-Pen while in the dock. Also I tried the settings mentioned above to get the 3.5 sound to work, but no luck.

I took it back, I'll wait for a proper one to come out, or try with the wifi all share hub and build somthing that way.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Spidey01:
Got one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/23108138465...769&_trkparms=ga1m=T1&ga2m=T0&ga3m=T1&ga4m=T2

If I hook up USB+charger and THEN the HDMI, it works. For some reason (lack of power???) it won't accept a flash drive if I plug a hub in and the flash drive into that. (I use a Bluetooth keyboard and a USB mouse.)

Haven't bit the bullet on the official smart dock yet though :'(.
[Android Themes] ssojyeti2:
Being that this is (most likely) the final version...

I've managed to throw together a convenient little zip file with a bunch of tools that I use to theme, with their respective guides. All credit goes to the creators of the tools and guides (some guides by me actually), I have just packaged them all in one place. This should really help those of you who want to learn to mod android but don't know where to start.

Download

Am I missing something? Let me know!

Feel free to give advice on what can be added/improved.

Also, to the creators, if you for whatever reason would like your files/guides removed, let me know and I will gladly oblige. Just know that I have credited you all inside the zip.

Final update. Until you mysteriously find something you "forgot" to add. :). Thanks for all all of your work.
[Android Themes] ssojyeti2:
It's actually very likely this is the final version man. Now get back to your homework:p
[Android Themes] mptherealmp:
Thanks again for the tools!

I'd like to ask if you would mind puting together something like a course guide. You've included so many tools and there are so many things to learn, that I'm still kinda lost. I'm starting in the apktools folder and trying to install the correct frameworks to not get decompile errors. Once I have that figured, what do you recommend next and after that, then what?

Thanks
[Android Themes] ssojyeti2:
Oohhhh very good idea man. That can definitely be added. Until I finish that (cause I'm sorta out of time today) just let me know any questions you have in the chat...

Have you installed the frameworks correctly? The correct command to install framework is

apktool if apkname.apk.

In your case (since you have the One) the apps you'd need to install framework for are

framework-res.apk

com.htc.resources.apk

SystemUI.apk

When installing framework you may get flag errors but those don't matter.
[Android Themes] mptherealmp:
Could you teach me how to read too, please?

Why didn't I see this and save myself a few hours of frustration?

Thanks again. Can't wait for that course guide!

I've always had problems with the DNAs sim card not being found but I've noticed this happening much much more than usual. Its annoying having to constantly restart my phone so it will recognize the sim. On the additional information about the OTA it says it fixes sim card problems, will it still accomplish this goal with a rooted ROM based off the ota?
[HTC Droid DNA] th3_g00b:
I updated to the ota and it still happened to me. Just once. Went on my Verizon wireless account and changed device to the same phone, rebooted and all is well. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Good luck!

Just an update... Happened to me again just now....lol
[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
It is supposed to fix the issue but I assume it only fixes a specific issue, so its possible you can still have the issue if your sim is dirty or broken. The update is just a radio so just get it and flash it.

I am not using an custom kernel, maybe flashing one would help my situation. I am at a crossroads, because PA and it's pie feature are amazing, but the rebooting is making me want to leave.
