Car dock for GSM Nexus -- Pogo Pin

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-SAM...neChargers&hash=item231d8840b5#ht_1741wt_1397
Just found this on eBay. Thought I would share it.

It's been out on Google Play for a few weeks now?

True, but you can only buy it from Play if you are from the US, so just wanted to post it for people elsewhere (like me)

And the play store is way cheaper then that is $100 shipped play store is $65 but I know what you mean for others in far away places.

Verizon Compatibility
Is there a way to make my Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus work with any of these docks? The versions on Play are claimed to be compatible with GSM/HSPA+ only. However, the $90 version on samsung.com says its compatible with Verizon and Sprint models. should just be a software lock, right? Can this be hacked to work on my Verizon phone? Also, that car dock is really slick but I cant find it on samsung.com. Is the ebay version Verizon compatible?

Extended Battery and Media Dock
Is the fix this simple for the desktop dock as well? And do either of these have issues if you have the extended battery pack?
Thanks again guys,
Chad

Thanks for this OP. The Play store is a real hard-ass for some reason... I don't see any reason why they can't ship to Canada (they block the page entirely)

Did Samsung forget they made the Galaxy Nexus?

So I just got the Sprint Galaxy Nexus about a month ago, and I really want the pogo dock: model EDD-D1F8BEBSTD. Every search/link to the Samsung website pulls up 404. I was able to get the portrait dock through Sprint, but that blocks my damned headphone jack. I have a bluetooth headset in the meanwhile, but this is ridiculous. Anyone have any news as to why 1) Samsung has disavowed all knowledge pertaining to anything Galaxy Nexus, and 2) when could we expect any of the CDMA accessories to return to stock?

I actually just emailed Samsung about the pogo dock. I mentioned in the email that the Samsung product page for the pogo dock pulls up a 404.
When you email them with a support question you have to select the model that you are inquiring about and the Verizon Galaxy Nexus wasn't listed anywhere, I found that kind of interesting.

It might have something to do with Samsung being more like the manufacture and Google is the boss when it comes to Nexus devices.
Samsung's flagship phones are the Note and the Galaxy S line.
Don't quote me on this though

But if you search "Nexus" on the Samsung website, you'll get the Nexus S in results. Nothing for Galaxy Nexus.

They have the pogo dock on the Google Play store. Works with T-Mobile, and I expect it would work with Sprint. I've seen a couple of site where they've sanded the back to get the dock to accommodate the slightly thicker VZW GNex.

Sprint's is CDMA, so it is the same accessories as Verizon, sadly.

[Q] CDMA Screens

Anyone know if the screen from a sprint Galaxy Nexus phone can be used on the verizon CDMA model?

Noooo. It takes a lot of modifying to get the parts to fit. I didn't personally do it, but there's a thread here about someone who did. He ended up getting it finished, but it was a lot of trouble. I'll go look for that thread for you now and edit my.post when I find it...
Edit: can't find the thread
All I know is the parts do not just fit. You need to do some fabricating to get the screen to fit

Are you sure that's not from CDMA to GSM well the other way around? From what I know the Sprint and Verizon Nexuii are pretty much the same.

If you ask me, GSM, CDMA Verizon, CDMA Sprint, they're all the exact same, except for the radios, antenna ports and the SIM card slot...
Why wouldn't they fit, they're all 4.68", right?
Don't rely on me lol, I have no idea...

No. The gsm and cdma ones are different. The connector cables are in different places

Gotcha. I think I've said this awhile ago, but that's an awesome signature lol.. Hate it when people ask that question...

The last time i checked Sprint's nexus don't have a sim card slot, so the innards should be different too.

It seems that most of these replys are talking about using a CDMA screen on a GSM phone or a GSM screen on a CDMA phone. I think we can all agree that without a lot of work this is not possible. However has anyone actually ever tried using a screen from the Sprint Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon Model? I haven't been able to find any post indicating that it has been tried.

i would image it is different. the sim is not removable so i'd imagine the rest is different due to this.

International vs. AT&T Note 2 (in the US)

I'm getting a Note 2 and have a few questions. I was about to pull the trigger on an unlocked Note 2 from eBay ($679 shipped). I'm on AT&T in the US and have an upgrade waiting to be used. I don't need LTE - it's a nice to have. What I do need is Google Wallet and great sound quality.
I believe the international Note 2 has the Wolfson DAC and Google Wallet working via NFC...right?
Anyone know if the AT&T version will have the Wolfson chip and Google Wallet? If so, I will just wait on it and pay $299 or whatever the upgrade price is. If not, I'll get the international version and save my upgrade for something else.
Thanks.

I am in the same boat and I have a couple upgrades to burn. . I don't see the advantage right now in the International device yet. Maybe Development as always.

Interesting link, but it doesn't address my questions.
What versions (international and AT&T?) have the Wolfson DAC? Does the quad-core Exynos 4412 processor indicate Wolfson?
What about Google Wallet on both?
Did I miss something?

I don't think anyone can answer that question until the AT&T Note 2 actually arrives. I would imagine the DAC will be the same, but who knows if AT&T will interfere with Google Wallet.
EDIT: It appears wallet does not work and AT&T may keep it that way as they will have a competing product soon and want to make sure they get their piece of the pie.

Have an international now on att and wallet does not work. ..

[Q] Sprint Galaxy Note 2 Unlocking

Hello all,
I have sprint samsung galaxy note 2. How can I unlock it to use with GSM carries like AT&T or straight talk?
Thanks you all in advance,

You will need to be able to hardware mod the phone to accept a GSM sim on top of the hardwired chip.
You'll also need balls of steel.

The sprint note has no accessable sim slot. To "possibly" accomplish this one would need to modify the hardware by adding a sim slot and hack the software.
there is a thread about sone folks attempting this...i have not been following it.

in layman's terms, you can't. if you remove the back cover from your device there is no sim card slot on the sprint variant to insert a sim. the only current wait to use our phones abroad is to use the sprint international plan.

Got it
Thank you all for your help. I sold the phone. I had no choice...

You could buy an AT&T Note to use with Straight Talk. I have one for sale on eBay right now (Note 1, not 2) that I bought for that same reason, but don't have coverage where I live to make it happen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290826024805?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

ebay search
note ii sim or search for this one 271090307387
$6.47 swap that plug and play component into place and BAM sim card slot.
either cut a hole in your middle cover OR buy a int middle cover.
also someone is working on a mod solution to keep the 4g AND add a sim card slot
we off course still need to unlock to work on US carriers but maybe its not locked to begin with since they would not have thought of someone swapping parts like this.

very cool. do you know if you can do a similar trick with the ebay sim card holders for the Galaxy S3 (i.e. L710) ? I'm really hoping to buy a sprint GS3, put it on ting, and be able to occasionally take it internationally.
I was about to buy a motorola photon, but the lack of updates is scaring me.
UPDATE: found this thread if you're more into the GS3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002515

maybe it's just me, but amazing that so many people still believe that phones are compatible with other carriers............if you have Tmobile, AT&T then you're GSM network, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA..............it just bugs me when people ask to get their Sprint phone activated on another carrier (only exception is Cricket). I had someone a couple of days ago who bought a Tmobile version of the Galaxy S3, and wanted to know how to jailbreak it to use on another carrier.

normally you would be absolutely right. but in this specific case and possible with the S3 as well your incorrect.
the Note II and possibly the S3 have full GSM capabilities. Sprint just "corrupted" them on purpose (and should be illegally as well)
with the gizmo from ebay we get a normal sim card slot. now we just need a good hacker/coder to unlock the intentional "block" put in place by sprint to prevent it from seeing US GSM signals from companies other than sprint.
once someone manages to do that we will literally have a phone that could in theory be used on "ANY" US provider and probably any world provider.

based on a search of this and looking at pictures. why would you lose 4g? the lte chip is built on the processor board.

the statement below is 100% correct. the hardware in this phone is fully capable of GSM service. the removed software controls are the problem.

I don't know. Someone posted that the LTE SIM card (a chip on the board) is part of this board. so removing it would remove LTE (disable it)
but if your going SIM your going GSM so can't use sprint LTE anyway. so its not a "huge" deal.

Magic Sim?
I contacted Magic Sim and they said their Elite Micro Sim would work with Sprint. It did not show on the site so I emailed them and they said it would.
FWIW

There's a guy out there that says he can put it on straight talk w/o sim. operates on verizon network. 231 something was the name of the outfit. google a bit and I'm sure you will find him. hope I helped

look on ebay at the people that do boost mobile flashes for the note 2. send them a message asking if they do the sprint note 2 to straight talk. most of them I talked to do this for like $50 if you have a new donor. If anyone needs more info pm me and I'll be glad to help
