[Q] Arc Dock

I was looking through the system dump, and i found in the system/media/audio/ui folder there are two sound files for dock and undock.
My question is are these default 2.3 (gingerbread) files or dose it mean sony are going to release some kind of dock for the arc

There is a dock for the Play, it's either a shared part of the firmware or SE plans to release a dock for the Arc.

Oh ok thanks for the info, hopefully there will be a dock for this phone.

Could be from Android. There are dock and undock sounds on the Nexus One with my original "Google Desktop Dock". It's nice, it uses the friction-less contacts on the bottom. No "insert micro usb"-nonsense.
A dock for the Arc would be possible, a horizontal one that connects to the USB. Probably not from SE, but a third party producer will have one out in no time.

I'm not sure there will be a dock you can just drop the Arc into - the design really doesn't lend itself to being docked.
For example when I use the Arc in landscape mode, I do so with the buttons on the right - and I'd imagine most right-handed people do so as well.
A dock would have the buttons on the left, so 'the wrong way' as it were.

Yeah, but not a deal-breaker. On the N1, I set it up to automatically launch the clock when you connect the charger. It shows the clock with todays weather and goes into a very dim simple clock after a while. Perfect for having on the nightstand. It works in all directions so "the wrong way landscape" won't be that much of an issue.

im hoping theres a dock soon, even a third party one with no special features. Its something ive been missing since I dumped my desire

There are some third party docks on ebay but I bought one before for my x10 and they have no design and just a dock which I found it really crappy.

Yeah, the ones on Ebay now are more holders with a chargecable attached:

Let's hope some better designs come out later.

im surprised manufacturers havent jumped on it. It would be a similar design as the play but without the 3.5mm stero jack

Uhhh... the micro USB port for charging is on the top right side of the phone and the dock holds the bottom. That means the dock only serves the purpose to hold the phone, but not charing it?

Yeah, as I said: It's a holder with a charge-cable attached. You put the phone in the dock, then take the curly-wire and connect to you phone for charging.

I got this one from www.amazon.co.uk - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0046B7BTM/ref=oss_product
Works really well with the arc naked and also with a hard gel case. Not so well with the soft rubber cases on it though.
Speaking of which I have two gel cases spare, one clear and one black if anyone wants them then PM me.

Official Bluetooth Keyboard/Case

didn't see this get mentioned before, but if you watch from 1:56 mins in.. there's a case that has a built in bluetooth keyboard that reminds me of Lenovo's LePad

The only place I've seen this so far is on the Samsung Germany site. Looked like it would be about 150 dollars.
It looks pretty nice, and I'd like to get one when (if) they show up US side, but I would have trouble spending that kind of money on an accessory that probably won't be compatible with the next gen Galaxy Tab.

I heard that Bluetooth keyboard is made by Broadcom!!!

The bluetooth keyboard setup is nice, but did you notice the hdmi usb cable? Does that mean that hdmi and usb are on one connector instead of two separate adapters?

Just bought my G-TAB 10.1 yesterday and I was told by the Samsung sales "enabler" (the Samsung droid in the Best Buy store) that it will be out in July (<--USA). I bought the keyboard/dock with my G-TAB but I am sure that I will flip to the BT/case version when it's out.
BTW, the HP sales "enabler" was also there peddling their new tablet running their OS. He tried to convince me that it was a better choice than the G-TAB... well, to make a long story short, I showed him my rooted & CM7'd G2x. He pulled out his Android phone and asked me how I was able to create those great screens. Well... I used ADW EX, which he also had (but didn't know how to use). So, I showed him a few quick tricks and he really appreciated it. He then said that I should stick to Android devices and that he will too (<-- I was holding myself back not to laugh as the Samsung "enabler" overheard that)

Hee hee....that is an especially good story given what's happened with HP since abandoning their tablet! On a related note, I too spoke with a Samsung rep at BestBuy when the 10.1 was just released, and due to a mis-communication with my wife, I thought a tablet at t-mobile was a different variant of the 10.1, and after insisted to the Sammy rep that t-mobile had a 10.1 at a better price; with an SD slot; and a 3D front facing video camera! I later ate some crow and appologized when I realized the T-mobile was an LG tablet instead, but had to chuckle when a different BestBuy employee told me that apparently T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab 10.1 had an SD slot and a 3D camera!

[Q] Any news on 30 pin hdmi adapter

Feel like its very important accessory. Please share info even if its not Samsung made.

Last I read it was due out in late July according to some third party accessory stores. Nothing official from Samsung though...
http://galaxytablife.com/2011/07/galaxy-tab-10-1-hdtv-hdmi-adapter-due-out-late-july/

thank you for the info. I hope this adapter works with wifi model. Because with gtab 7 wifi model hdmi dock does not works and it's official from samsung. Hdmi dock works only with Gtab 7 3g models.

Anyone know if Apple's 30 pin connector works with the SGT? They look similar, and keep appearing in search results for one another. If so, the 30-pin to hdmi dongle (I'm n00b & cannot post links but it's on Amazon for $44.99) for the ipad2 should work, no? And if so, scoffing the price and the number of cords/connections required to get this going.

No, Apple adapters are not compatible. Yes, they are both 30-pin adapters, but those 30 pins are mapped out differently, making them proprietary.

CHECK THIS VID OUT..

ok, I got so excited I went and bought the dock. And it doesn't work, maybe there is a way to get it to, but it just goes to dock mode and never displays. I have tried multiple displays and no go. Anyone want to figure this out? I have a $10 donation to you, waiting.

Bought it from Samsung Korea ..
Just tested ... you need to hook up power to the unit (ie there's a piggyback 30pin that needs to be connected to POWER) before you can view it on the TV .. so it's daisy chain (Tab to adaptor, adaptor to USB power.. adaptor to HDMI

Very good point .. and I found out all the 7" tab stuff works on the 10.1 adaptor
mg: just saw the manufacture date for the HDMI :lol:
15 Jul 2011 :lol:

I didn't plug it in. I will try with the ac adapter when I get to work. I flashed the touchwiz rom so if it works I won't know if touchwiz helps.

ok. Works! Needs to be plugged in to the AC adapter but I don't know if you must have touchwiz. I am betting you must considering that without you get the dock constantly running when you press home. This does not do that.

Hehe good ! And i dont think you need touchwizz to make it work, did it fit the whole screen perfectly ?

It does not fit 1080 screens fully. Touchwiz keeps the home button displaying when on the television and fills what it can. Different than what the xoom does. But it does probably fit a full screen 720.

Hmm .. mine display fullscreen .. and I noticed on the youtube video when you play movies .. the tab is blank while the HDMI is running ..
mine displays on both .. ??

great job guys you really make work easier for everyone. Will hit thank you for all.

I flashed the bonsai rom to check and see if the experience was any different. It too shows the bar at the bottom. With the zoom I was annoyed the bar was not there. But when it is there it does not fit the screen fully. I hope that becomes a choice in the future updates. Also, seems flash staggers when using HDMI. Maybe just something that is holding off the real updates from Samsung.

that's what i've been wondering too. i'm not sure why the contacts are on the right side of the phone. don't most people turn the phone sideways so that the left side it faceing down?

Damn i hope this dock will make it dock to and external monitor, keyboard and mouse just function as the heart of the system. basicly a computer just driven by the phone.

It's part of the Enchantment. It now has a soul, remember?

maybe it's like the HP touchpad? it charges on it's dock (touchstone) on multiple sides. That thing doesn't have any contacts at all. Like an NFC interaction?

Yes, I see now that the keynote photo was wrong, but if you think:
1- contacts are on the right side
2. usually, people rotate the phone in landscape to the left side
So, there's something that doesn't work.

I think that's on the mark. It's just a presentation. It's not like they had a camera crew filming actual footage of a Galaxy Nexus in the dock lol Photoshop all the way.

I'd like to see a car dock similar to the nexus one aswell.

Idea
That dock gave me an idea on how to solve some of Androids 3rd party gadget problems.
The largest producers of android devices should get together and agree on the external layout of a "externalt dock interface" so 3rd party gadget makers made their stuff fit the dock interface, and the phone maker (or 3rd party...) could make the dock for the dock. This way each phone maker and model can continue to experiement and differentiate in phone design and size, while the gadget makers could concentrate on making cool gadgets and know that the userbase would be much larger.
Philips already launched something similar, but a middle-dongle-thingy would make it much more userfriendly.

Do you think there will be an affordable car dock this time? The $85 they wanted for the Nexus One car dock was WAY to much for me.

Looks like the official accessories can be found here. They show a dock and a vehicle mount.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-accessories.html

Excellent, the availability of a decent car dock has sealed the deal on this for me.

Was holding off buying the Galaxy Nexus until I knew there was a proper dock. I've got so used to my original Nexus One car dock (despite the cost!) that a new phone is a non-starter without one. Off to place my order now!

Likewise i've just seen the price of the adapter, what on earth!? There's no way i'm paying that I assumed it was much the same deal as MHL to microusb and fairly low cost.
Is there really not a non-Samsung version that is significantly cheaper? or maybe a DIY method!

As far as I can tell (from buying cables that were unsuitable) the only cable that will work to connect your Note to your tv is the HDTV adapter
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGXAR
or similar for your country. PCWorld in the UK sell them for £12.99 (epl-3phpbeg) if you can find stock or a salesperson who actually knows what you are asking for. I found mine in the tv section with all the Smart tv accessories.

That PC World price must be for the wrong item but searching for that code has brought up a handful of retailers selling it for near £22. Still too much imo when it's clearly not too different from the countless <£5 microusb versions!
Maybe i'll come across a used one some day.

They aren't on the website. Best to call a store. Or visit. Found mine in the Samsung Smart tv accessories section, nowhere near the computer department.

I have that adapter and just bought the (more expensive) Allshare Cast Dongle.
With the adapter one should keep in mind that a (more or less) long HDMI cable is necessary to connect the adapter to the TV/beamer/monitor.
The Dongle works wireless and can be just put beside the display device.

I'm looking for something I could connect my tab to HDMI, maybe a USB, and could charge it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

How well does the connector work? is this the same story like on galaxy s3, that the framerate is halfed down, or does it run at 30fps, cause I dont want to throw away another 25 euros for an adapter, that doesnt even work properly. -.-

ive looked at the media docks for the 10" Tabs on amazon and their TV out potential but I havent found anything conclusive in regards to their performance with the Notes.

the galaxy tab (og galaxy tab) dock is only $18 on amazon and works fine with the gn101. just gotta be modded to prop it up.

Well forget what I asked for before can anybody find me a HDMI adapter?

the place where i ordered the MHL adapter canceled my order, go figure.
So I bought the OG samsung tab dock, dremeled off the sides a bit and it fits perfect. I don't have the right hdmi cable to test that part out, but so far it works fine (charging, sync, and audio through the headphone jack on the dock.)
Was only 10 on craigslist.
win.

I picked up the hdmi cable and it works perfectly.
I get 56fps using fps2d to test.
This is pretty cool.
