Official Galaxy Nexus Car Dock with TRUE 3-pin functionality! (2012-08-10 Update!)

Does anyone know where we can get this dock in the US?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-nexus-vehicle-dock-ecs-k1f2begstd-p33499.htm
Apparently, VZ was selling the el cheapo version:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/1...ay-want-to-pass-on-the-car-dock-from-verizon/
no true 3 pin docking functionality built in! It was essentially a $40 piece of plastic.
Here's a video of the dock in action. This has to be the most functional dock in existence. The only thing you'd want more is probably an ext antenna connection but mobiles don't have those! LOL

DOCK SOFTWARE UPDATE 2012-06-06:
From Efrant: I've attached Google's Car Home and Car Dock applications. Once you install these (both are needed), Car Home will automatically launch once you dock your phone into the car dock.

Actually, pop the battery cover off. I see 4 distinct antenna looking connectors (3 smaller ones, one medium one). No idea which ones which or what they're for though.
I'd be interested in getting one of those docks as well, but am curious whether or not an extended battery could be used.

I think a ton of ppl bought the OEM extended battery:

It doesn't "look" like it's much thicker. Hopefully Sammy was smart enough to make this dock fit standard and extended batteries.

Wow I was so into needing a Car Dock that I didn't even realize its essentially a $40 piece of plastic, lol. Glad I saw your thread. I want the REAL Dock!

One of the guys at a work meeting yesterday got the GN and was disappointed at the car dock. I was surprised that it didn't have the 3 pin function cuz I swore, the one I saw on the net had it.
I'll have to send him that article too, I guess VZ jipped a lot of ppl who were thinkin they got the REAL 3 pin dock.
Anyway, I can't find any place that sells this thing in America??

Amazon UK has Galaxy Nexus docks listed, but they're not available till Jan 1st. :/

Is this the one?

That's the version Verizon is selling that does not have the pins.

I pre-ordered one from the link below. No way was I going with the cheap dock. It's not pictured on the page but I do believe the model numbers are correct and it appears to be manufactured by Samsung. 99% sure it's the right one.

I believe you are right, the product description says its the 3 pin one. Please let us know if it works out once you get it, I would love to buy it once I get some more cash!

No picture, no buy.
Do tell when you receive it and tell us if it works.
I'll be waiting to try and buy directly from Sammy.

Will the one their gonna be selling in the UK be compatible though with the CDMA nexus? I'm about to contact samsung and verizon I think.

They describe it with " Automatically puts your Galaxy Nexus handset in Vehicle Mode when docked"
Has anyone found a "Vehicle Mode" in the Galaxy Nexus yet? The Car Home app from Google says it isn't compatible with the GN and I don't find any apps currently on the device that would do this.

Might be part of the delay. The could be holding it up until Car Home is updated by Google

Wow, don't I feel like a jackass. I actually got the verizon dock not even thinking of the possibility it might be a useless piece of poo, aka a glorified window phone holder. What a crock. Why would they ever do something like that? Worst launch ever. Also, anyone else noticing the screen isn't as scratch resistant as let's say, a droid x? I wanted this device to be so awesome, and it is, but I feel like they could have gone the extra mile and gave us the device that lived up to the hype more than this does. I mean there isn't a car home app that comes stock. Thanks for the recommendation on car home ultra. Going to give that a try until we can get our hands on the REAL car dock.

we have it at bell.ca, in canada

I doubt that.
If the car charger mounts directly to the mount as described, it's the higher-end mount and not the plastic doohickey currently on offer at Verizon stores.

Remember the GSM version is thinner than the verizon version, so the dock may not fit LTE phones

sure but thats them describing the dock, which could be wrong
i think the most important piecee of detail from their listing is the
i515 (VERIZON VERSION)
they probably didn't insert that in by mistake
plus mobilecityonline is american and the only car dock available to USA (NO GSM Gnexus there yet, unlike UK and Canada) is verizons

Has anybody tried this with note?
Since Im a handicapped person walk with a stick, and I was not much comfortable with Galaxy Note (as it usually require both hands even for basic functions dial or read sms etc) .... and for that I purchased sony MW600 which sorted out my most problems but I've lost my MW600 recently, so I'm thinking to go for even better MW1 , which seem to be much better than MW600 (and even more costier also).
Even for normal person it seem to be good option (considering Note big size) for regular recieving/redialling/sms reading etc ....
What your take on that?

Hello friend,
I'm using MW1 headset with Note N7000, It is the best headset ever made for smart phones..
You have to install "Live manager" (available in Android market) to enjoy all the features.
The only drawback is, double click to last dial wont work but, you get the call log feature with few key stroke.
other than that - audio quality is awesome and quality of the headset is decent.
its worth buying.

Thanks for such a wonderful explanation,
For last few days I've been searching very hard to find the best price for it but can't (its not yet lauched in India, so hv to import it).... as MW1 price is almost thrice as of MW600, and comparing the features I dont think its justified .... thts y I smtime feel tht y not buy another MW600 for $35?
MW1 price Im getting on ebay is around $120 (mostly hongkong sellers) ....
Can u suggest any reliable seller with best price (with International shipping) except ebay ?

Anyway I ordered my MW1 via MobiMega.com for $117 (incl express shipping to India) .... dont know how reliable the site is but have read some good reviews about the site..... lets see.

I also searched a lot to compare both but I think one-to-one comparison of its features is hard to find as MW600 is outdated for sony, and MW1 is (as they consider) its successor.... and MW1 has many new and updated features than MW600, so its hard compare both.
Some unique features in MW1 that doesnt include in MW600 are Bluetooth 3.0, micro SD card capability upto 32gb, SMS/Email can be read on display (sms reading via text to speech),
PLUS all the features of MW600...
and yes Battery life (as sony says) is 11 hrs on FM/Phone

Sure... infact when I contacted them today, they had already shipped it via toll global express, I requested them to change it to Aramex bec of some custom hassles I faced recently ... but they agreed to stop shipment and will send it by Aramex tomorrow (Friday).... I think by monday or tuesday I shld get it as Im a frequent importer of goods frm HK/China....
As per reviews, Im very bad at, Im only gud at using it extensively ..... you should better search for MW1 reviews on youtube. There are many....

Hi Anupam,
Sorry to revive old thread. Can you please update your experience with MobiMega. I am also planning to order..but not sure about it. And btw did you paid any custom duty as well?

Its been a good experience... initially they shipped by toll global express but I requested them to change it to aramex (it delayed by 1 day) via their chat (Their chat is very slow... u may hv to wait for more thn half n hour...) but they responded it positively and changed my courier to Aramex... and within just 3 days I got it...
with no custom duty at all.

After ordering ask them to ship by Aramex.... because they shio it next day by DPEX (Toll Global Express).... they do not update the the status their but they ship very fast...
And toll global service is bad in India, they some time incur fake charges like airport fee etc, ... many times they call me and ask me tht ur goods are in customs if u wanna pay duty the charge will be like 1500rs, with all paper work and if u want us to bribe them then u will pay just 500 but without any paper work... (so no proof tht if it was duty or thy were making us fool)...
Happened many times with toll global whenever I buy goods frm china/HK... so now I better avoid Toll Global....
Can't say whether they do same with u because mobimega writes just "earphone" on the package which is < 10000rs... so there's no chance of duty...

Thanks again Bro..I replied the order mail and requested to send order by Aramex after I saw your message. They shipped it with Aramex only ..though i am not able to track it with the provided number since Aramex site says that the number is invalid/currently information is not available but I expect to receive headset by the weekend hopefully...Thanks for your advise..

Yes sound is pretty good. Go for it.

Hi. As i has both first the mw600 and now the mw1 i think i can tell the differences.
For me the best change between both is the way how the volume is changed and how you navigate through the menus.
It was always a hassle for me on the mw600 with this horrible touch line on the side. I also often accidently changed the volume.
Now the mw1 has only buttons that are placed good. U can change it without looking at it.
The inears are not perfect on both and i think the sound using the notes headset instead of the included one is better.
But the sound is not horrible. The cable from the included one from the mw1 is a bit unflexible because it is a flat one that is a bit bigger.
The radio works best with the included inears
The best features are of course the sdcard that can be inserted and the apps for the mw1.

i have mw600 n i want to pair it with my galaxy note (n7000)...
can someone teach me how to pair it..

$14 mhl cable + collection of mhl reviews

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sam-sung-Gal...ltDomain_0&hash=item1e724db681#ht_4732wt_1095
found these on ebay which just started popping up. anyone happen to have tried them out?
seems alright since it connects the phone directly to the tv instead of having to get another HDMI cable if you use one of these
**hey everyone, im trying to collect all the links to the MHL adapter reviews because there are so many threads around. i am NOT looking for the ones that talks about using the 11 to 5pin converter, just strict microUSB for gs3 to HDMI female port.
i gone thorugh 8 pages of threads and so far found 3. the rest that talked about having proeblsm are the ppl that are using the converters.
if you find something just post it in this thread and i'll copy it to the first post. **
edit: Collection of MHL reviews (strictly for straight MHL adapters, no 11 to 5pin converter bs)

personal review of http://www.ebay.com/itm/180981126424?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
so this was shipped on oct 8th, received oct 23rd in toronto, canada.
i'm using stock rom, canadian galaxy s3.
pros:
seems like it's doing what it's suppose to, no glitches of images or anything like that. i've tried some games, HD youtube and music all worked. no need for "warm up" like some of the other MHL adapters seem to require. no lags while playing videos
cons:
- responsiveness - i'm not sure if i'm just picky or if it's just unrealistic to expect these MHL adapters to be perfect. i do notice that when i scroll around, there's a bit of a drag. not that it's not responsive, but the transition effects just arent as good on the TV as it is on the phone. i noticed it too during dead trigger, it's responsive..but just not super smooth like it is on the phone. if you guys turn on the power saving mode on your phone, that drag that you notice? that's almost what it's like.
- charging - does not charge the phone while playing videos
- signal - completely loses signal when in use
feel free to ask any questions.

Seems like a great deal! I'm hoping someone tries to see if they work properly

I bought one and it's completely garbage. Screen flickers like crazy while playing movie and forget about games like nova 3.
I'm pretty upset and it's going to cost too much to send it back to Hong Kong for a refund.

you're right, it looks the same as the one in the 2nd link. but do you see anywhere that says "Genuine/original/authentic/OEM samsung galaxy s3 MHL adapter" ?
anyways, that's beside the fact because my point was to let ppl know about this $14 option.

found these on ebay which just started popping up. anyone happen to have tried them out?
seems alright since it connects the phone directly to the tv instead of having to get another HDMI cable if you use one of these
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271053063258...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3018wt_1327
of course some of you A/V junkie may like to use your own high end HDMI cables, but i'm just wondering does it really make a difference?

Thanks, bought one, will see what happens, but for less than $15, not too worried.

I just ordered one myself.
I'll report back after I get it. Hopefully it's good
Should have it around October 11th.

Be aware that the one from the last ebay link is FAKE!
Most of them don't even work, so keep that in mind....

I searched through like 50 pages on eBay and decided on this one (it's a shop that supplies cords and stuff like that)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251151442464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
They are littered across eBay but like I said, he had good feedback and it's a cord supplier.
You think it's fake?

haha damn i usually give up after 6 pages.
anyways, why this seller? there are a lot of other sellers from china who are selling the same cable but with a lot more positive feedbacks compare to this one you posted.
and i dont think the other user meant to say the one in the 2nd link is fake. we all know it's an after market adapter, just that we haven't seen very positive reviews. with that said, someone did buy a MHL adapter that LOOKS like the one in the 2nd link, and the seller he bought from claimed that it's suppose to be a genuine samsung MHL adapter.
going back to the red one, i haven't seen any reviews so far so sorry can't help you there. i'm just waiting for a US seller to carry them so i don't have to wait 2-3 weeks for shipping from china.

It is going back

yea i saw your post before. instead of posting the link to a MHL adapter that looks like the one you bought...i think it'd be more helpful to other users if you post the actual link of where you got your MHL adapter from
interestingly tho today we finally have 1 positive review for a similar looking mhl adapter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31994952&postcount=36

hey everyone, im trying to collect all the links to the MHL adapter reviews because there are so many threads around. i am NOT looking for the ones that talks about using the 11 to 5pin converter, just strict microUSB for gs3 to HDMI female port.
i gone thorugh 8 pages of threads and so far found 3. the rest that talked about having proeblsm are the ppl that are using the converters.
if you find something just post it in this thread and i'll copy it to the first post.

Is this one plus for real?!

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:

Thank you :good:

when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.
Whats the price?

I saw you comment and first off I'd like to say its already a chinese branded phone and very modest company, not your usual suspects for making "Phoney." (pun intended) Also I do not own the phone yet, but since you're cautious I'll still help you out.
When I buy phones from untrusted/unknown parties I always meet them in very open public places and look them in the eye when they're talking, looking for signs of anxiety or hesitation.
Now onto the phone itself:
pop the sim tray out make sure there are 2 slots (real oneplus 3 has 2 slots). okay
Go to settings> about phone check the imei with this: https://swappa.com/esn (its free and trusted site)
pop one of my sim cards in and make a phone call. go back to settings> about phone and check the baseband, model number, build number etc. and make sure they are correct/up to date.
go to the camera (usually the stock app) and I test photos and videos.
turn on bluetooth and make sure it searches for my headset which i have on at the time.
Open a web browser and see how fast the app opens and open multiple tabs and different websites in each.
For a phone like this I would feel the quality of the build because most knock-offs just don't feel like "real"
and LAST but not LEAST go to settings> security and check the fingerprint sensor, (how fast it esponds, if it responds at all, nothing is for sure but chances are very slim that a knock-off company is putting a high quality fingerprint system in a knock-off phone. I do all of this while talking to him/her about how the yankees are really sucking this year, and telling them my fantasy football team is better than theirs by a long shot.
I sure hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

Check the Android version. If it says Nougat, then it is obviously a fake one.

Thank you! Isn't there an app that can check if the phone is real? Like all the internals and camera module? I heard there's one with the name similar to AIDA..
Also, could anyone post the latest settings page where I can see the latest build/baseband and so on, please?
Thank you all

What if I do every test mentioned above? As a sound test?
If everything works well, it shouldn't be a problem.. it's even seen the original screen protector..

You could easily get 300 euro for OP3 so for me the real question is (and it should be your question as well) Why would the seller throw away 150 euro? Why would anybody do that? Nobody would unless something is wrong.

Looks real. Exactly like mine did whwn I got it. But what's to say that's what you will receive. Especially at half price.
Buy using a reputed site and pay using a known payment method.
That way if you do get cheated will have some way to get your money back.

Isnt that fingerprint Sensor/ home button too thick and too small from left to right?

Yeah it actually does look a little weird. Not the same compared to mine. Mines shorter from top to bottom and longer left to right.

It looks real, it still has the screen protector on it too, have him take a pic of the back and get the imei and look it up, it seems legit, maybe he won it and is just selling it cheap, just make sure it powers on and no other issues

If you can get internet... Download the Geekbench 3 from playstore and run a test and you should get around 2250+ singlecore score and 5400+ multicore score (If you can only download geekbench 4 then score is around 1700 for single and 4000 multicore)

That's not a UK plug, looks US to me which means it's running different bands than the EU model. Check it'll work on your network

Stylus

I know I'm going to have Samsung Note "withdrawal" when I migrate on over from my Note 4 to the LG V20. I wanted to share these types of Stylus that I've found:
ADONIT DASH
ReGear Pro Stylus
I'm going to miss "Smart select" and "Screen write" the most out of all the Air Commands.
Will I get a stylus for the V20? Maybe. It is an added cost to an already expensive device. How much do I really need it is the question.
I wanted to throw this out there for the phablet artists and geeks out there...

I'm still a debating between the LG V20 and Google Pixel XL. Leaning towards the LG V20, but either way I'll likely be getting the Adonit Snap: http://www.adonit.net/snap/
Definitely miss my Note 7 already and its only been a day since I turned it in...thought they did an amazing job with it, just sucks that they screwed up the battery/power regulation on it Back to my Note Edge with dead pixels for a couple weeks until the next phone decision is made...

This app is incompatible with all of my devices. (That's what it just told me.) Therefore, I'm going to guess it will not be compatible with the V20 either.

I used it on S7 ports when I had my Note 4. I think it works if you can side load it and set the permissions (gotta have root for that.)
There are S Note wannabes on the Play Store.

I am wondering if the note 7 stylus will work on the v20. I thought about keeping the stylus and just returning the phone

It won't.
The Note series has a Wacom digitizer as part of the screen makeup.
If that isn't there you won't get any recognition.
I'm currently running Note 3.
Wonder if i should wait 'till next year.
The Note 4 was too little of an increment.
The Note 5 wasn't sold in my area.
Am getting desperate.

Articles are starting to come out about Samsung ditching the note line altogether to focus on the galaxy lineup for quality control. Guess its to hard to have a larger staff that can focus on both. Really sad but it just opens me up to trying all the phones without a pen like this one here. Here's the link to the article I mentioned

Yes, the built-in capture+ does this on the V10 and I'm sure it will on the V20 too. It's as useful as the smart select on the Note 7, which was a feature I LOVED.

so what stylus is a good one? the adonit snap hasnt had the best of reviews. the new dash 2 looks promising

Yeah, I saw mixed reviews on the snap, so I'm still waiting on deciding which stylus to go with...definitely getting one, but want something smaller because I use it for writing notes and the occasional screen clip...still leaning towards the snap, but going to give it a couple more weeks before I make my decision.

What'sthe difference between the dash 2 and the snap? Other than the snap being Bluetooth I'm not sure what else is different between the two. Especially considering the dash 2 is $15 more than the snap.

You're thinking Screen write for the Note 7 - Smart select was MUCH better than the capture+ is.
With Smart select we could select a portion of something and even extract the text from a picture (that was awesome).
I really hope they incorporate a lot of the Note 7 features into the S8

Adonit Dash 2
I got the dash 2, and so far it seems really great. It doesn't conveniently store *in* the phone, but it's everything I want in a stylus, at least!
