Just bought a dock

Phillips Flexidock, bought it at TMobile for 30% off ($67). I always wanted a dock like this but only seen them for apple products. Its wireless (Bluetooth), and you can adjust it for different phones to get a perfect fit. I enjoy this going to sleep lol.

looks kinda cool, how is it? brief review would be cool

Show us how it works
Looks nice, what does it do? I originally wanted the Motorola Photon, because it would be easy to use as a desktop computer, using the dock that they make. I wanted to use it as a prepaid on the T-Mobile network. I found out that even unlocked, it could not be done. I am going to receive, very shortly the T989 and have purchased a slew of accessories for it to use as a desktop computer. Why doesn't Samsung and the providers recognize the fantastic selling tool of having a true multimedia dock, that would allow the easy addition of peripherals. I wish the phone came with a separate HDMI out port, that would have simplified a lot. The SGS2 is a very popular phone. Someone could get rich making an after market dock with the right features for the SGS2.
This is my first smartphone and my 1st post, so I'm a noob of a noob, but that doesn't make me a nob. I will probably burden many of you in the future with T989 questions. Can't wait to get my phone. Still looking for a proper dock. Maybe this one will work. Waiting anxiously for a review.

Does it have a remote too?

No remote but its not needed because its wirelessb (bluetooth) meaning you can have your phone in you hand and do all the operations as you would normally

Its very impressive louder than I thought for the size. It requires an app to connect to it which has functions like alarm, clock, music player, online radio, weather.. that stuff. It can probably fit almost any phone, android ofcourse

Was the APP free?

Nice video! I'm going have to watch tye video through again, but did he say exactly what apps he was using? I do know though, he was using our "all anticipated" multitasking update we're patently waiting for.

Couple of ROM's in the development section with multitasking already working, it's very handy!

Coldfustion has quite a few great videos on his YouTube channel. One of which is a how to on how to set up your note the way he has it set up. It's more of a how to for go launcher than anything. But it's very helpful. His review of the new Apple iPod was even entertaining, as he references is no note 2. LoL!

Yeah, I have my note 2 setup like his and people are blown away on how I did it. I am using most of his wallpapers so the phone's background never is the same. He is pretty artistic in the way he has everything setup.

That's awesome! Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I see, everything he's using is native, there's no special software except that floating browser software. Then obviously the hardware (adapter, mouse, keyboard).
Does anybody know what UI he's got?

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.

Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.

Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.

Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.

Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.
I wonder where he got the tripod or phone holder for the Note 2. . .

Yeah, can't wait to play all my games on the big screen, Arcane Legends, NFS MW, Shadow Gun Dead Zone !!

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.

Ibolt dock, do I need car home ultra?

So I just bought a car dock, which I must add that it's great and highly recommend it. Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but having an s3 with S Voice do i really need a car home app? Just seems kind of pointless. S Voice gives me the ability to pretty much do anything and I think installing a car home app is not needed at all. If I'm missing something here let me know. Not trying to sound like a smart a**. If someone our there thinks it's something I need, please explain why. Just want to be sure I'm not missing something here.

Sir, i think you posted this in the wrong forum. But since i'm here, my opinion is that using S voice or car home is totally a user preference. I myself like car home ultra but it's a paid app and like you said you can the end results with s voice or other free apps.

Tha ks for your input on s voice. Mods, if this is indeed the incorrect forum, could you please move it. I thought being that car home is an app, this would be the correct place.

[Q] Does the Smartwatch 3 have an infrared blaster?

Hi everyone, just got a SS3 and it's easily the best Android Wear device out. I'm curious though -- does it have an IR blaster?
There were numerous reports that the Smartwatch 3 included an infrared emitter/blaster. However, I don't see an IR port on the device and it seems pretty clear it does not have this functionality. Can anyone confirm?
I did several searches through the SS3 forums and nothing turned up, so I assume no one else has asked this question.

Nope not that I know of.

That's too bad. The early press releases indicated that it has an IR blaster -- but it's pretty clear that it doesn't have one. Thanks for the reply!

No problem. Yeah I wasn't aware of that. I don't think any current smartwatch has that feature. Definitely would be nice though. Maybe in the next version of the Sony Smartwatch.

IIRC Gear 2 Neo and Gear 2 have IR functionality. Maybe even the original Gear has it. It's weird that the Gear Live didn't include it, but it's likely because Android Wear doesn't seem to support IR functionality at present.

Oh okay. Well then yeah, probably exactly that then. Still waiting on Android to open up WiFi and NFC capability that's built into our watches.

Htc one m9 ir blaster?

Guys just a very quick question, does the new M9 come with a IR transmitter and receiver or only a transmitter? Is it still possible for the M9 blaster to learn new IR signals ?

No, it can learn IR signals
Sent from Tapatalk on either my HTC One M9 or Tab4 10.1, it kinda depends

How?
There is an mention that the M9 can learn IR signals. How then?
Mine does not respond to signal. So it seems that it has only an IR blaster and no receiver.

Maybe a software issue? Mine certainly learned signals using the Peel remote app that came on the phone

Anymote told me their app can record on the M9, that was one of the deciding factors for me to upgrade from my M7. I have a lot of devices that aren't in any code database, and the IR receiver has become invaluable to me.

So it works for you on the M9?
I See in tha app descriptoin: RECORD REMOTES - exclusive to the HTC One due to hardware limitations in other devices.
Could be any One device offcourse

It is possible to learn new IR signals.
Open the Peel Smart Remote app, open the remote, go to settings, choose your room and click on your device in the DEVICE-section.

This is not called learn new signal. The Device-section is a set of preset signal. What he meant was learn signals directly from the remote you have. Because sometimes the app does not have your device's brand/signal. Happened to me when i tried on my Fujisu air-conditioner and non of the signals worked.

It does work. Tested it out after I got the phone. However, I haven't seen any other apps besides the one I use that can do it, and last time I checked the app is I think $10. The way I see it, that's still less than a low end universal remote that CAN'T learn signals, but most Android users seem to be entitled jerks who think everything on the app store should be free, so whether or not you're willing to pay for it is your only limitation here.

That's anymote I believe. I also purchased it when I used it ALL THE TIME on my galaxy gear 2 watch. Its got codes for devices I never would have thought of controlling with a phone. I will also say that response from the developers was quick but they were also extremely rude and accused me of having a pirated copy somehow? I didn't have a fake copy obviously otherwise I wouldn't have contacted them for help! Haha either way we got it sorted and they found the code for a device I was having difficult with.

Search "Smart IR Remote", it's $6.99USD now. Looks like they also have a free app now as well, but I don't know how limited it is.
