Sorry, I have a stinking cold today, and I was coming down with it and being miserable yesterday.

I tried to call Voda to see if they can do anything appart from gratuitously skanking me for data (6 quid = 5 mb, 15 for 10, 25 for 42megs...), and when I ask why for 23 quid you get 70 megs on a 3G laptop card, I am put on hold for 45 mins and then I gave up. They have beaten my O2 misery record and now are the front runners in crap service.

My jasjar has a slightly loose screen and so I think it will be RMA'd back to Expansys and cancel the whole thing until T-mob release their one:

T-mobile seem the best deal to me with 200 mins and 55mb data for 35 per month. Any advances on the best voice data mix?

And youmeus, just save up yer $$$ and buy an imate or the other version outright - you don't want a slightly iffy Jasjar do you? :lol: only joking, I wouldn't sell it to anyone if it's not 100% perfect.

I'm going for my lemsip...

I know what you mean,

Upon waiting 8mins before actually speaking to someone i asked the simple question " is my multimedia enabled?"

15 mins on hold, before being told, they've just enabled it for me, and that they were having problems finding the sim update for my device, and me being ignored when saying i have the settings cab.

= 23 mins not as bad as you and i didnt get pestered for more of the hard earned, tell a lie, they did ask if i needed insurance, told em i got a 3rd party insurance.

Still not out

Well i phoned O2 upgrades this evening and was told that they don't have any details on the XDA Exec.

When i pushed his further - stating i've heard on this forum it should be available today - i was told that the product has been pushed back to next week 3rd October.

I hate the way O2 can give out different information to different people.

Does anyone have any more information on the release date and prices?

Thanks

Choose.

Which one would you like to have ? I think Mitac Mio A701 is a better choice the only drawback Mitac Mio A701 has comparing to Xda Exec is that Exec has QWERTY keyboard.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Theres no comparison dude, Universal is more of a lappy-style accurate data thing, and that Mitac is more like a mobile phone on steroids.

But, ppl like the phone-style thing, hence the phone-windows OS's success I spose.

For me, the Universal is the donkey's ding-a-ling, and the Mitac is a mobile phone.

Do you like the smaller form factor then?

FIX

I FOUND A FIX!

not guaranteeing it'll work for everyone, but all I did is switch my phone off. Took the Sim card out, blew a bit of wind into the slot and closed it again WITHOUT the SIM card and started it up. Then when everything was up and runningiI switched it off again, slit my SIM back in and when I powered it up again it was working again :victory:

Hope this helps someone.

I'm a big believer that a factory reset doesn't do much except irritate the user because then you have to somehow get all your data back afterwards.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Hi everyone,

I got a good few hours with the Galaxy Note 3 over the weekend, tried out a bunch of stuff and can answer a lot of the questions people have here in relation to what sorts of connectivity work and which don't (the USB 3.0 has people wondering whether their existing stuff will work).

A few findings of mine from the weekend:

External drives work, but unfortunately NTFS formatted drives still don't work on stock ROMs. It had the power to spin up a 1TB Seagate drive! Unfortunately the drive was NTFS formatted so couldn't do more to see how well it was working, but definitely was powered with a solid indicator light. Promising.

The Smart Dock works with the Note 3

The S3/Note 2 MHL adapters definitely work

The Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter works without needing a charging input plugged in and IS outputting at 60Hz

USB audio working, I tried several DACs. The ones that worked were the HiFimeDIY, Tiny-M, HeadAmp Pico. Unfortunately Apex Glacier did not work (did not work on the S4 either).

USB keyboards/mice working as they did with the older Samsungs

PS3 controller working over USB OTG

Ditto for the Xbox 360 for Microsoft controller (which required an app on older Samsungs in order to work)

Logitech F310 controller works too

Ditto the Logitech F710

It also worked with a cheapie gamepad from Ebay (like $6), although button mappings seemed limited and did not have time to try it in emulators etc to see whether all could be mapped.

BT keyboard and mouse working, as expected

IR blaster via the inbuilt app works great with my LG TV

MHL and USB OTG do not work together using the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter

Moga Pro gamepad working well

Tried several ethernet adapters, none work.

Unfortunately the one I had did not have the USB 3.0 cable/charger, so could not benchmark read/write speeds or charging speeds using that connectivity.

UPDATE:

This arrived for me this week, finally got around to testing it tonight and can confirm it works well, which is a great result for the $11USD it cost me from Ebay (including shipping). Considering it basically does everything the Samsung Smart Dock does I'm well pleased.

Few notes:

Yes, it is MHL 1.0 - I kind of expect them to revise these to MHL 2.0 before Samsung actually get around to releasing an updated dock.

USB OTG functions will not work without a 2A Samsung charger connected apparently, I was initially using a cheap charger that happened to be in the multi-board the TV was plugged into and was disappointed when nothing would work. Got of my lazy @$$ and grabbed my Samsung charger and all working. Plugged in my externally powered USB hub and then a Logitech K400 keyboard/mouse combo, card reader with a 16GB full-sized SD card in it and also a Logitech F710 controller. Happily watched some video from the card and then played some Dead Trigger 2 on the HDTV with the controller.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maxnik1:
Thanks as always. ;)

I am a bit sad that Samsung did not update the smart dock to MHL 2.0, in my opinion 60Hz is so much better. So for now, there is no option for simultaneous USB OG and MHL 2.0.

Oh and I am seriously tempted by Moga Pro, but it is so damn expensive to import and game support make it even more difficult to buy. I am hoping Google will follow Apple and announce some sort of API for game controllers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] macdroid01:
i am also said we still can not do MHL with a USB keyboard+mouse and video out.

That could turn it into a portable laptop. Which is why I want a Note anyway. It's big. Ideally I'd also like it if the Flipcover had a built in bluetooth keyboard with hardware keys or perhaps someone made a QWERTY slider case for it. Yes I know it is big but yes it is what I ideally want.

How cool would it be to set your Note down, plug in keyboard, mouse, and to a monitor? Bam. Get to work (or surfing). Heck I'd probably stop using my laptop for a lot of things! Get a mini-USB hub for like 5 bucks and the possibilities are endless. Would be really cool if someone set up an easy dual-boot Linux and Android ROM too or maybe that is around. But the key is having video AND keyboard/mouse at the same time. I think over time Samsung will add this, though. They deliver on cool features like this. I bet it would be possible to add in an update of software to the Note 3??? USB 3 has so much bandwidth shouldn't it be possible?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fishma2:
Thank you very much!! I have been looking for someone to post this type of info. Has anyone seen anything that points to a OTG cable that supports 3.0 standards?

Thanks a lot. Happy to hear that smart dock works with it. With 2.3Ghz quad core, it definitely will replace my desktop.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mystik1:
I want this too. Something that you can hold without having to prop up the phone/screen. Slider would be ideal. I don't care if it adds a bit of bulk...just not as much as the one I tried for the S4. It was horrible, and didn't work well anyway. I'd love to see a really good solution put out for this.

So far i've only been able to test with my old gear, but my existing Samsung MHL 1.0 adapter is working well, and i'm going to be buying the official samsung one on your recommendation.

is there anything special you need to do to get mhl working? ive got THREE mhl adapters that all worked with my galaxy note 1 (n7000) and none of them are doing a thing with the note 3. any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Anyone can recommend a mhl 2.0 adapter because on amazon the review are 50-50 saying that they are fake?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ggfb20:
The mhl adapter for the note 1 is different (pin count) than that of the note 2. The galaxy note 2 + s3 used a newer type of mhl. When searching look for mhl adapters that work for the galaxy s3 and note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] noc007:
I got the Smart Dock Multimedia Hub since I've read that some of the aftermarket and knockoffs occasionally fry itself or the phone. I wasn't interested in risking it so I picked one up for $55 with my VZW account that I have suspended lines with grandfathered data I keep meaning to sell.

Like OP has listed it works. I does sit off center due to the USB 2.0 of the 3.0 portion not in the middle. Video runs fine with a slight delay over HDMI. One of the big things I wanted to do was emulated games. I have Animaonline SNES, SNESDroid, and Snes9x EX+ installed. While using a wired PS3 controller there is an obvious input lag on all three emulators. Snes9x EX+ went half speed and was unplayable. The other two ran, but still had an input lag. I was barely able to make it past the first course in F-Zero bouncing around like a noob and Mario World was a joke. Playing these with just an OTG cable works great and I've already beaten a couple of my old favorites; playing through Secret of Mana right now.

I can't imagine trying to use this with a keyboard and mouse and using a RDP client for some remote administration. I wonder if the Note 2 and S4 exhibit the same lag; I'll try and test if I get a chance. Frankly I'm a bit disappointed and think that MHL (for video) and OTG need to be separate on the Note 3 until lag is sorted out. It would be a real shame if the lag is there on the Note 2 and S4, which means no one knows about it or they don't care to fix it. I do look forward to the day when the phone is also the full on computer that just needs a dock or be near ones desk. I'll see if VZW will take it back after my vacation.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
Buy it from the Samsung store, that's pretty much the only way right now to ensure you get the genuine article. It's $39.99 in the US but while placing the order I registered my phone with them, then used the 50% off coupon they mailed me for registering to get it for $19.99 plus shipping.

Sure beats playing Russian roulette on Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nysfinest318:
First of all, lemme say that I got mine last night and I love it!!!

I was just sitting here pondering what I would use my 50% off coupon for and after seeing your post, I think I'll do the same.

As a bit of an unrelated sidenote, I was just looking at the YouTube channel of a "reputable" reviewer who puts out weekly ratings of the top 5 phones as voted by consumers and then another list as voted by "experts".

As of this week, the iPhone 5s is atop the experts list and in 2nd place on the consumer list.

In what alternative world are the minuscule changes made to the 5, anywhere near substantial enough to rate it above the Note 3???

It boggles my mind how blindly devoted the Apple Nation truly are...

They're exactly like the guys in the band playing on the deck of the Titanic...the friggin' ship is damn near vertical, but the band plays on.

Go figure...

Rant completed...I now return you to your previously scheduled programming.

Ok but what about a regular MHL adapter would we need the 5 to 11 pin adapter I was looking at the http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EAM863M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1381591510&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
MHL 2.0 Adapter Crippled

I got my MHL 2.0 adapter and Samsung have crippled it. When I plugged it into the MHL port in my (brand new) Yamaha RX-A1030 receiver I got a shaky grey screen and a message on the phone saying 'Plug HDMI directly into TV'. If I plug the adapter directly into the TV it works fine but the problem is that all of my audio comes from the receiver and even though the receiver is 1.4HDMI the TV isn't so there is no audio return from the TV.

The really annoying thing about this is that the older adapter works perfectly in the same setup. MHL adapter plus S3/S4/Note 3 adapter plug plus HDMI cable into the receiver and I get a perfect picture and sound, albeit not the 1080p 60Hz that the MHL 2.0 adapter gives.

So the choices are 1080p 60Hz and no sound, or 24Hz with sound and a series of cascaded adapters. The message I get implies this is deliberate and it is beyond me to understand why they would introduce such a restriction.

Even though both adapters work the same with or without the charger connected to the power port, when the charger is disconnected I see no evidence of charging through the HDMI cable. For all the trumpeting of new receivers 'supporting MHL' and having a 'dedicated MHL connector on the front panel' I'm yet to see any evidence that this isn't just an HDMI input like any other HDMI input, and that MHL isn't just marketing fluff with no actual technical substance to it.

BTW This is definitely the genuine Samsung adapter, ordered directly from the Samsung store and has the Samsung hologram on the box.

micro usb cable and no mouse

I plugged a microusb ->usb cable in and then attached a mouse. the system didn't seem to recognize it. I also tried an MHL 1 connected to my monitor via hdmi and that doesn't work.

is there somehting one needs to do to get this working?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
in my experience the best way to do all of this is through bluetooth. Use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and then use mhl adapter to mirror it on the TV.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
You need an OTG (On The Go) connector for the mouse and keyboard. I'm using one of these

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=9724&seq=1&format=2

and a standard USB keyboard and mouse worked fine (borrowed from a Dell XPS-8500 PC I just happened to have sitting around).

For MHL 1 you need the 5-11 pin adapter for it to work with an S3/S4 or Note 3.

Can you tell me specifically what HiFimeDIY DAC you were using? Was it the $30 Android one (with a micro-usb tip right there for simplest connection to a phone), or the TINY one with a full sized USB A port (which would require adapters)? Or perhaps some other model?

I am hoping to pick up whatever one you have to that I can have a quality line-out signal for my car.

Thank you!

The Android one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] addicted2088:
Do you have any lag when using those devices? Like late response on the device on pressing a key on the keyboard? Kindly let me know, wanting to get an OTG cable, but I read about input lag on Samsung's official smart hub, so was wondering if standard OTG cables have the issue as well. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
Yes, is there any lag on the MHL 2.0?

And has anyone been about to get the audio to work on a AV Receiver??
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
No major lag that I could detect, I spent some time listening on the headphones while running a movie on an HDMI monitor. Lipsync seemed fine and I'm generally pretty sensitive to any differential in that area.

As for keyboard and mouse using the OTG cable, I didn't detect any noticeable lag there either. I tested it today running Windows 7x64 via Microsoft's new RDP app for Android and it worked great :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnzoHeavenly:
This one rocks!

I'm happy to inform you all that this one is working for the Galaxy Note 3, you can totally charge your phone as you use HDMI with a USB gamepad attached to it. Just make sure, you have USB Debugging Mode set to OFF (or it won't charge at all).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lordjish:
After reading all of this, what is the best thing to do with a Note 3? I want to use it with my 27 inch panel and blue tooth mouse/keyboard.

MHL Cable...and if so, buy from where? Some combination of items? Is there a way to both MHL and charge the phone?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kayza:
It seems the answers to your questions are all in the post you quoted. My guess is that you aren't certain what MHL is. While I don't know exactly how it works, what MHL does is it allows video and audio to be output through the usb port of the device. So with an MHL adapter, you can plug in an HDMI cable to the adapter and display your phone screen onto an external screen, whether that is a TV, monitor, etc.

This adapter apparently has MHL compatibility in that he reported it working to have HDMI output. He also answered your question about it charging the phone at the same time. He also mentioned that a USB gamepad worked, which likely means that USB keyboard and mouse would work.

So what YOU need to buy then, is that adapter (based on the other user's report of it working), a regular HDMI cable (assuming your 27 inch panel has HDMI in), and your bluetooth or usb keyboard/mouse.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Great info, thanks! Basically does same things as the Smart Dock for a LOT less money. I'm presuming it outputs to MHL 1.0 spec though - 1080p/30Hz?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deny_winarto:
Anyone had luck getting ethernet to work?

kinda dissapointing its not supported cos i read somewhere hc is already capable of ethernet ..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnzoHeavenly:
More info about it

Honestly I'm new to the Galaxy family, so I dunno the difference between MHL 1.0 and 2.0. How could I test it?

All I can say is that I hooked it to my 46" TV, played HD videos and some games on it, with no issues.

This is what the box reads:

HDTV Adapter and OTG Card Reader
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lordjish:
Going to grab this as soon as it is back in stock
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CraigAmey:
I believe the specs say it's MHL 1.1 and the 75MHz bandwidth limit is equivalent to 1080p/30.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Yes, I expect that is the case. The Smart Dock has the same limitation though and costs nearly ten times as much, so that isn't necessarily a reason not to grab one of these.

EnzoHeavenly, to check if MHL 1.0 or 2.0 output see whether your TV is detected a 30Hz or 60Hz input from the phone, 30Hz is 1.0, 60Hz is 2.0.
