Hi there folks,,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to get a docking station, I can plug my SGS2 into and listen to the music through some decent speakers from, you know the sort of docking station that Ipod seem to have everywhere...
Is there such a thing for the SGS2 ? I really hope your experience can help me....
Thanks in advance
Ian
The original desk/charging dock has a 3.5mm audio output, so you can plug external speakers of your wish.
You can also try these generic docking stations (you can easily find them on ebay), but i guess the audio quality isn't good...
Philips has one

From what I heard, the speaker dock mutes the dock speakers when you plug in via HDMI. (Someone modded the dock to create a switch so that the HDMI cable can still be plugged in while sound could come out the dock speakers)
This one is the same thing as the speaker dock minus the speakers. Is this what you're looking for? $43.40 from Amazon.

That doesn't have HDMI out AFAIK, which is what the OP wants.

oops! I'm glad you pointed that out. I assumed it did; considering the price I would have thought it at least basically functional.... I was going to get one in the next few days! This thing is pretty ridiculous, then; a $40 charging station with audio pass-through? Can't wait for the knock-offs to start coming out.
So, now my question is the same as the OP! Anyone see anything cheaper that does HDMI out?
Any recommendations for a good speaker dock? Looking for something I can use to stream Google music or Sirius XM from my phone through while outdoors/traveling.
I haven't really seen anything that I can actually set/dock the E4GT in with a speaker but I have a 3.5 mm adapter I can use to plug in with. Curious as to what you guys are using. Thanks!
Got cash? They have BT and 3.5mm audio in. I'm not sure if they support audio over the micro-usb connection. Seems rather overpriced IMO.
I personally use a cheap mini-speaker with 3.5mm in, similar to the Scosche Boomcan. Fits in my computer bag and under $20. I have yet to find a compact universal speaker dock, with an adjustible/universal micro-usb port. Please post if you discover one.
Edit: This one is interesting, but no bluetooth for $99? No thanks.
I use this. I sale these as well. Me, my gf, and several friends I've sold them to love them! why worry about a dock when you can use Bluetooth
Thanks for the responses guys.. I am really digging that Philips speaker dock, esp if they have it at my local Best Buy but @ 135 dang!
I use a jawbone jambox and love it

I got my boss a Galaxy S3 and he wants a small music stand with a built in speaker for his living room to play music easily.
I've been doing a ton of searching and have come up short. Is there really no Music Stand for this phone out? There's a million of them for iPhones.
Maybe you guys know of one that was for the Galaxy Nexus or GS2 but works with this one? I know Samsung has that charging dock with the audio out but you need extra speakers for that which makes it more of a pain and less sexy.
Thanks!
If he doesn't care about the phone being charged while playing the music, then he can just buy an aux cable and connect the phone to any stereo with an aux input?
Or, he can look into something like the Philips Fidelio
Or he can get this adapter to make the IOS dock compatible with android.
I have the Philips Fidelio AS351/37 and i love it.
If he wants something for the living room though he would probably want the Philips Fidelio AS851/37.

Hi!
i bought a new GS2 two weeks ago and i bought also the original docking station from samsung.
It is very robust, has the volume button easy available in the same side where there is the power button and it increase the loudspeaker volume...
cons: it allows only to charge it...
no usb data is possible to transfer with it...
it is quite bad because i was wondering to use a dock with the mhlp hdmi video converter... -.-
i will consider a cradle with the two usb un the back: power and data
I am also searching for an docking station, all i found till now looked like crap. What docking stations are you using (pls with pictures).

Hey everyone, I've been searching for a cheaper alternative to the expensive desktop dock samsung sells. It will mostly be used as a clean audio out for speakers and headphones, charging and sync would be a plus. Does anyone know of a good alternative out there? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
im no pro at this, but it seems like the best kinda thing is gonna have to use the 3 mm audio jack as a trick to do it.
as an example, if you ebay "Loud Stereo Dock Station Speaker for iPod iPhone 3G/4 4S MP3 Android Phone 3.5MM"
I have a digital AV Receiver with HDMI inputs and bought the HDMI dock from Samsung for less then 15€. The digital audio signal via HDMI can be used even without video output.

Yea that's basically what I'm looking for, a dock with 3.5mm audio out and has the ability to charge + sync would be nice. I actually found a cheap 10$ one on ebay and a 30$ one on amazon from samsung themselves which isn't too bad, both that claim to do just that, so we'll see. I would post links but the forum wont let me until l I have 10 posts. Apparently there's an app that will allow me to use the usb audio out function straight from the phone which would be awesome, then I can bring in a DAC and amp into the mix.

Yea I thought of that as well, and I may get one of those too to hook up to my hdtv but as for speakers and headphones the 3.5mm audio out would be key
