Is there a video, or set of photos, that show how the Tab S 10.5 or 8.4 look inside?
Anyone here has a link to a disassembly video of the Tab S?
I didn't see it anywhere. I think that iFixit will teardown Tab S soon.

Hello ,
Can someone who has a 10.1 2014 tablet and a multimedia dock have a look at my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48448035&postcount=3 and please confirm to me, whether the tablet fits into this dock and works perfectly , because the dock is primarily meant for GNII/III and S3/4 .
Thanks for your quick answers.
I have the Samsung smart dock the was originally marketed for a note2. This tablet doesn't even acknowledge it as a power source.

Ok sounds strange. The note 2 and 3 and this tablet all have....supposedly the 11 pin micro usb connector. The links I have mentioned in my post have the dock which is advertised to work with note 2/3 , so it still remains a mystery of whether it will work....secretly I am hoping it should...
Just need some more confirmation from other users as well.

Check out the charging thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566024)
The Note II uses a 5v charger and the 10.1 uses a 5.3V. That could be the difference.

Well seems like there is mixed response in making sure that a S4/N2/N3 multimedia dock will work with N 10.1 2014 or not.
The OEM Samsung dock mentioned, is barely just a charger with audio out function, not a true multimedia dock like I have mentioned in my first post, which effectively i wanna marry with the 10.1 2014 to make it a productivity workstation.
Anyways seems like I have to get one true multimedia dock in hand and keep checking it around with display and demo unit to know.
By that time keep pouring in with your results and suggestions if you come across any other dock for this beast.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi HyperEscape, have you reached any solution? I'm also about to buy this dock and I have a SM-P605 Note 10.1, would be great to make both work.
My EDD=S20JWE Multimedia Dock (for my S4) does not work with my Note 10.1 2014 Edition ,,,

Thanks for the info. It doesn't work at all or maybe the USB ports or charging would do?

The unit will charge through one of the USB connections using a cable, but will not do anything through the main connector.
Oh, and your mileage may vary, I just noticed your Note is a 605 and mine is a 600 ... I doubt that will make a difference, but you never know.
I bought one for the S4 with broken screen, so I'll report back
It does not work.
Hi,
Just purchased the Samsung Tab S 10.5 version.
Do they make a dock with stereo speakers for the Tab S 10.5 version?
See a lot of iPad accessories.
Would use it on my patio and my camp.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi all,
I have a galaxy tab lying unused in my draw in my bedroom and was wondering what you think I should use it for? Any good, time light project to use it for?
Cheers!
Anyone know if the A50 supports Gear VR? I’ve checked the Samsung page and I know it’s not listed as a supported device but since the S10 is also missing I’m not sure how up to date it is. Thanks a million!
No
I connect it to Gear VR
And nothing happened
As you mentioned that you connected your Galaxy A50 and nothing happened. My question to you is does the Galaxy A50 fits in? My point is what if the A50 fits in and suppose i don't want to use gear vr's sensors, nothing at all. I want to put my mobile the gear vr doesnt work by connecting that's okay. But if it fits and if we can see through the lenses and it works in offline mode? I.e. no sensors using, no battery using, device is attached there and you are watching vr video? Will that work? Please try that hack and update me. I am dying to buy Gear Vr fir my Galaxy A50 which has video playback resolution support of 4K @120fps as same as Galaxy flagship S10.
Thanks
hello, i have both the gear vr, and a galaxy a50. ive messaged samsung/called them, etc, and they all say it is mot supported. however, the a50 does sort of fit in the gear vr, the connector i have is a little rounded, so it doesnt entirely fit in all the way down. the mouse pad on the gear itself does actually function for me, and so does motion tracking. i did also manage to sideload an apk for the occulus store after some digging. most apps/games do work with a regular gamepad. i have issues with minecraft for the gear showing dounle vision. also, anytime i try to connect the gear vr controller included with the headset, the app crashes. so, it does KIND OF work. you can force it to. its not optimal, however.
Hey, u ever get this to work?
I'll cut right to the chase. I don't have a Tab to test this out with, so figure it's to the Interwebz.
So you can link a Note to a Windows 10 laptop with the usb-c cable, you can link a Note to a tv with an hdmi cable, you can link a Tab S6 to a Windows 10 laptop with the usb-c cable and you can link a Tab S6 to a tv with an hdmi cable.
But, can you link a Note 10+ directly to a Tab S6 and treat the tab as the connected display?
I have looked and looked and found no details that say it is supported, but also have not found anyone attempting this. If a Tab could be treated as a portable Smart display, I would be so so so happy.
... will it work?

If you are talking about HDMI-in on the tablet, then it doesn't have that capability either because the USB-C port does not take display input. The only possible way to broadcast a screen on the tablet is to use Samsung's SmartView functionality which allows you to share screen between Samsung device. However, that app is finicky and I have not have success with my Tab S4.

Firstly,
I don't have a Tab S6 but older Tab A (2016)
I do have a Note 10 +
I have installed Samsung Flow which incorporates Smart View.
I can connect wifi direct method or Bluetooth from
my Tab A to Note 10 +
No issues, overall.
Connects every time.
Yes, it's a little bit "laggy" but quite acceptable for my use.!
I can control my Note 10 + from my Tab A (mirror)
See screenshots taken from Smart view @ Samsung Flow Tab A mirroring Note 10+
Note ...
If i can control my Note10+ from older Tab A ,it surely should work from a newer Tab S6....??
Hope this is what OP had in mind ?
Good luck
Post note.
Further examples.
i can receive notifications from outside, intended for Note 10 +
View them on my tab.
My notifications on Note 10 +,
is set to a notification bubble.
I can tap on the bubble on my Tab and view notifications.
I can answer calls etc for Note 10 +
via tab.
Further you can automatically dim your Note10 via Smart View.
To use tab you slide brightness up via tab etc
To save battery on "dormant" device.
I can pick my Note 10 up and carry on where i left off. etc
Whilst, I'm typing this post note it's mirrors every word on Tab.
I have put my Note 10 down and carry on typing this "note from my Tab.
There is a very slight lag but quite acceptable.
I Use the Wifi direct input rather than Bluetooth.
Good luck.

Thanks for your replies.
So it is probably apparent that I have a few use cases in mind for my question.
For the example, I'm specifically referencing 4 devices: Note 10+, 17.3" Windows 10 Laptop, Xbox One S, and a "theoretical Future version of the Tab S".
1) I am a professional software developer and I hate working from a single monitor. My workstation drives 5 displays (counting my open laptop) and being without a mobile monitor means that I am always tethered to my workstation to do work. The portability of Galaxy devices doesn't really help me get work done atthe moment. It just makes it easier to "carry my stuff" endpoint to endpoint. I need a portable second monitor to be able to do work wherever I am and realistically, if the flagship devices were to become upgraded to support DP-Alt as a default feature, I could use DisplayPort's native daisy chaining feature to hypothetically drive multiple external displays. At the point I can cable my Note to two Tabs via DP-Alt and have 2 external displays, my Note (whatever future iteration would add support for this) would become my primary personal computer rather than my ultrabook. But the starting poijt towards that goal would be to upgrade the Tab for receiving DisplayPort-Alt input
2) I am building a vehicle and want to build in a couple of XBox Ones into the backseat for my children, but I don't want to install permanent, single purpose displays into the vehicle. The displays need to be portable. Miracast is far too slow for gaming (old, deprecated fallback casting protocol)
3) The screen on my Note 10+ is amazing, but when I'm wanting to watch a video in bed, I always find myself wanting a larger, higher quality screen. I will never permanently install a television in my bedroom, so I need this screen to be portable. (Miracast is ok for this because video is non-interactive)
4) I run multiple gaming systems directly on my phone and when I want to play a multiplayer SNES game, I really want to be able to display it on a screen large enough that we can both view comfortably. I don't want to run these games from a tablet. I just want to take advantage of its larger, higher quality display.
5) I carry my Note 10+ everywhere and sometimes I want to work with it on a larger screen but I don't want to carry my laptop with me. (Miracast is suboptimal. The delay is not terrible, but I want no delay)
Essentially, if the Tab can receive DisplayPort over USB-C (known by VESA as Display Port Alt-Mode) then it is immediately upgraded to be the only portable monitor on the market with a sAMOLED display, it could be natively treated by a DeX enabled smartphone as an external display (and therefore a Note would be able to natively DeX with a Tab), and a Windows laptop or Surface Pro would be able to treat it as an extended display so mobile productivity would more closely resemble a multi-monitor workstation setup.
Samsung does not currently have a product offering in the "portable usb-c monitor" market segment and -on some fairly extensive research- there are zero portable usb-c monitors available with an AMOLED display. The highest quality ones available are IPS and they are in the $300-400 range for non-touch and $400-500 range for touch enabled displays. But none of them have any ability to be used for anything other than as a dumb display.
If the Tab were extended with this capability, it immediately becomes the exact device that Samsung has been missing in the middle of its "Galaxy for Business" strategy and it becomes a perfect portable companion to Windows portable devices.
So, I'm very intrigued by any possibility for this to come in the near future.
I mean....*why not*? It seems to make so much sense to me as the killer feature that solidifies the Samsung+Microsoft partnership.

This is consistent with my expectations. I spoke with Samsung Technical Support on an unrelated issue (Data Usage is 3x the app data math on my Note since the One UI 2.0 Update) and took the time to ask a couple of targetted questions about this support being currently available or available in the near future.
The tech communicated to me that they are working with pre-release devices in the Samsung building and that there are multiple combinations of devices that "just work" with a USB-C cable (probably TB or USB 3.2 Gen2x2) without the reliance on Miracast, but he had zero insight into the specifics of any future Tab model.
Either HDMI-Alt or DisplayPort-Alt would be fine for my purposes. I'd personally prefer it to work with DP-Alt but HDMI is more ubiquitous so there would be more mileage for this hypothetical feature.
