Galaxy S I9000/Tab/Tab 10.1? What is the difference? - About xda-developers.com

The title pretty much says it all.
I'm buying a "Galaxy S" and signed up here to learn about the phone.
Would you mind telling me the difference between the three?
Thanks

I tried to edit in [Q] into the title, but this board system won't let you. :/

Galaxy Note II Dock Compatible?

http://phandroid.com/2012/10/31/galaxy-note-2-smart-dock/
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
i'm wondering, through any guesses, would this dock work with the S3?
i would love to have this dock to connect an HDMI cable, or also any of the USB plugs.

Well, the on the Samsung germany site, they have what LOOKS like the same dock and they say it works for both. the part number is slightly different (that could just be an EU/US thing though).
I would expect some shimming to be needed for the S3 to fit... but (as another member pointed out) it might lock the phone in portrait mode....
Really interested in this as well. If everything else works, I can live with the portrait mode. Hopefully someone will post a hands-on soon.
i already have the Galaxy S3 dock. and the locking into portrait mode does not bother me.
the main reason i picked it up in the first place is so i can audio out and charge, instead of plugging in USB and AUX cable.
i also tried to see if a 5-pin MHL adapter would work from the dock end, but it didn't.
here's hoping that this will work on the S3.
I am hoping for this dock to work on S3 too. I am holding onto my 50% off coupon code for this dock.

Yeah, it sounds like you could have walked up to any pretzel stand in the mall and asked this question and you'd probably get the same answer. Most likely "Tina" is actually Ramajesh.
I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible. Unless Samsung intentionally made it not compatible. This link shows that the 11-pin MHL cable is compatible with both (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EPL-3FHUBEGSTA-compatible), so that means the it's the same exact port in both phones. The only way I figure it won't work is if Samsung purposely tries to detect that it's an S3, and blocks it.
I am sure it works.
the only reason it would not work is not something related to the MHL thing but the shape of the stand , and I don't know the difference between the S3 and the Note 2 so I am not sure about that.
and as for the girl from the costumer service , I would consider her another retarded person from the way she was responding.
we only need a member who has an access to one of these docks to try and give us a review
Guys, is this product available in Korea ? coz im going nxt week also any idea how much note 2 in korea ?
i hv s3 but going to buy note 2 nxt week and hopefull use both devices on this dock.
thanks
Have these things even been produced yet? It was just announced and already on back order, so it sounds more like "coming soon". Hopefully someone can at least get a preview model soon (ie. before those 50% off coupons expire!)

If they're out anywhere, I would think Korea would be the place! Keep an eye out and let us know. Also, have a safe trip!
fitting into the dock should not be an issue. since the Note II is 9.4mm thick, and the S3 is 8.6mm thick. most likely even with an extended battery (like what i have) on the S3 will fit in this dock.
agreed though, if anything would stop compatibility, it would be the MHL adapter built into this dock. yet again may be another change Samsung did to make people buy separate accessories. perhaps a differently aligned 11-pin adapter? that would suck.
I guess we'll just have to see, but one thing that may help as far as physically fitting, is that it looks like the Note II has a flatter bottom, whereas the GS3's bottom is curved out more, so the microUSB port should extend down -- it just may not sit as stable without putting little props to stabilize it.

Sorry -- if you register a US GS3, you should be able to get a 50% coupon. I'm not sure if it works for other devices or outside of US though.

doesn't, only US.
tried with my canadian gs3.
however, it would also work with any old samsung phones you have, i'm talking flip phone old. i think that's US speicifc as well.

this user found a review on the dock..i used chrome to translate the page and the reviewer said it's a proprietary dock for note 2. gs 3 didn't work in it at all EXCEPT for charge...not even USB sync.
not sure if that makes sense......but that's what it says in the review after translate.
i'm no expert but assuming if the note 2 and gs3 have the same pin structure how could the dock not work on gs3?

Yeah, doesn't really make much sense -- it's like they'd have to go out of their way to make it not work. And why?... the Note II is apparently selling well, but there are what ~ 30 million GS3s on the market now?

You are correct, the review is norwegian and i'm swedish but we understand each other's languages and it only works for charging. I read on the swedish samsung facebook page where someone asked about the dock and they answered that it will work with the S3 after a firmware update. It seems to not be as expensive as I expected in sweden, around 45 euro, it is supposed to be available nov 20.

Samsung galaxy nexus dock question

Will the Samsung EDD-H1F8BEGSTA multimedia dock made for the Verizon nexus work for the Rogers nexus? (i925)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006NYP83Q
EDIT : Sorry I should have been more specific I'm looking for an HDMI/MHL mirroring solution as I play lots of games while also being able to charge the battery at the same time, I would also like to do all this while DOCKED, too many threads and yes I have searched before anybody suggests! Too much confusing and incomplete information.

Can't see why not, assuming the USB port is the same on both!
Thanks eddy! Figured I'd give it a shot anyway I just like to get other peoples opinions in case they have tried and succeeded or failed.

What would make you think that it is not a real Samsung S3? The phones info all appears to be fine. The imei # is different on each, so I do not know how you would look it up? Either way you should be safe from what i can tell

The error looks more like a website error (unable to load the included page).
fake or not
I looked up the number on a site and got nothing, i have a feeling it was a fake site just to steal numbers.
I even chatted with a samsung guy on the site and he said it was legit.

Bottom lime in, if you are so unsure even after out input, DONT buy the phone, otherwise purchase away!! I personally never heard of a fake SG3 but im only one person in my little corner of the world. Bet you were using this as well to check!!?? (http://www.samsunguniverse.com/samtools/samwarranty/)
Either way, i'd say take your chances!!
Looks like a problem with samsung's website, not an error relating to the phone information being not genuine.
Id say go for it. The s3 is a solid phone.

[Q] Are there any SLIDING keyboards for the Note 2?

Im so sorry if this is a repost!!!! I just got a Note 2 and its killer, however I lived in the stoneage with a pantech slider phone. Im so used to the full sliding keyboard. I looked online and see flip keyboard cases, or "prop up" keyboard cases, thats not what I want, I am looking for a sliding one that is always behind the phonr until I need it. One that keeps my phone steary and is "locked" with the keyboard while I type instead of it flopping all around. Anyway. Ill keep looking while this gets some views and replies. Thank you for any help!
