Guys
I was so happy when I saw a thread related to accessories for Note India
However seeing that some of us are breaking the rules by using regional language actually present a sorry figure here
Can we please use the slandered language and for your own language I request to use both Regional+English or use PM

I ordered a couple of things along with this dock from Handtec UK. Shipment has reached New Delhi today so hopefully I should have it in couple of days as I chose the cheapest shipping option.
The dock cost me Rs 1900 & Citibank doesn't charge me fx fees as I have a corporate card.
I also got the HDMI cable for a decent price.

Check the below link. Since we are buying internationally VAT will not be applicable to us. Also look out for various promo codes. I used one where I could get free shipping if I selected royal mail option.
Also make sure ur CC doesnt charge heavy fx fees.

well.... in our native language he is asking me whether we will receive an ice cream sandwich (android 2.4) update or not and i said we will very well receive the update..

glad to see this thread
i have a doubt, well actually two doubts..
first one is that , where can i get a desktop dock for the note ?
online purchase is not an option because my credit card is on hold for another 3 months ;(
second doubt, so i use touch wiz launcher (since all the other launchers where laggy, way too laggy to be fun, if there is a workaround for this pls do tell me)
, so in touchwiz i know how to change the dock icons, but how do i change the icon image of the dock icons? any way guys? i hate the look of the stock contact n msg icons.
thanks

hi guys
Good see some great accessories coming to India, finally
Any ETA on a good Pouch for the Note (I have put a kool skin on my note which is why i do not use a flip case which came with it and I also have a Nillkin Hard back case with i don't use)
I am looking for a nice pouch in which my note can sink in and I can keep it somewhere when I am in the car because we all know if I keep it without any protection on Indian Roads the Note will get scratched no matter what.
The kool skin which I have protects the back cover and the front but the sides are exposed which are Gun metal grey and can be easily scratched...
Also I am planing on providing these Kool Skins for the Note which means now you will be able to customize your note by choosing a great skin for yourself and it fits perfectly for the note..it comes for the back battery cover and for the front area which is near the screen, it does not include a screen protector but like me I applied the front skin over the skin protector which I had and it fits perfectly...
So What I want to know since these skins will not be made by me but imported by me and therefore it will cost around 800-1,200 per skin (for delivery i will have to check because ofcourse couriers will charge more than normal speed post). Will this be preferred by you all???I mean will you guys buy it...
I will shortly try to upload a photo of the skin which i currently have on my phone.
I want to do this purely out of the love for this phone and also because that we in India do not get the pleasure to skin our devices so much as people in US or in UK
So let me know guys will you be interested...??

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:
http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-extended-battery-curvy-all-right-places
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.

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
for 84.99

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

Samsung tectiles

Any one get some yet? I have but I'm having trouble programming them, it keeps saying unable to write, or un able to read and after a bunch of times trying it, it finally programs it but then to scan it it takes lots of tries also, it keeps saying empty tag, was wondering if any one is having issues with them as well,
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Mine should arrive today, looking forward to playing with them. Let me know if you figure out what your problems are.

i have been using mine just fine, occasionally i get the empty tag error, i figured out that the phone needs to be flush with the tag, then it reads it just fine. the error seems to come up when the phone cant properly read the tag,
other then that they have been working flawlessly

To answer your question right away... No, I don't have any.
Sorry if the rest of this gets a little bit off the topic of programming/scanning issues... this seems to be the only thread discussing these things...
I just learned about the existence of TecTiles today. Came across it in Engadget's review of the Sprint/AT&T variants when I was looking for a picture to use in another post.
I'm pretty excited about them. I can see myself putting 1 beside my bed, 1 in my car, and 1 on my desk at work.
I have a couple questions for you guys about these things:
The Samsung description page lists all the sorts of things they can do, but doesn't say whether you can do composite actions with them (i.e. Set a volume profile, set an alarm, and then launch an app). Can you do that sort of thing or is it just a single action?
Can they be used to launch something else, like a tasker profile (which would mean they can do pretty much anything), or just the specific things it says?
Lastly, the last guy said the phone has to be flush with the tag to read properly. I'm planning on buying a proclip mount for my car and hoped to just stick the tile right on the flat part which would be right behind the phone (see picture)

Do you think that small gap there would be a problem?
EDIT: I just discovered this on the Samsung website: "Sensitivity: Up to 2cm Operating Distance"
Some of you who are having scanning troubles may be interested in that figure. For me, It seems I'll have to do some testing before I stick it onto that car mount.

I was trying to scan it with out any case and still have the same results. I'm using a clean silicon case that's real thin, but I only get that error and stugle on 3 of them, the other 2 I dint have any problems, but I haven't stick them no where yet, but if you do decide to stick them, make sure it's not on a metal surface or else it won't work.

1) Yes you can string things together. I would recommend NFC Task Manager
2) Yes, you can do this with NFC Task Manager
3) Sounds like a good idea.

Ya I use NFC task launcher and got my tags from tagsfordroid.com but they have been backordered lately.
I just need to figure out how to really use Tasker.

I find them overpriced, and since they are just standard nfc tags, I'd recommend ordering from Tagstand.com instead. Their starter pack is just $14.25 for 15 tags, plus they work just fine with the Samsung Tectile app...

No problems for me, they've been working great and were easy to program.
I actually put some on the underside of the table by my recliner and my bedside table. I wasnt sure if they would work through solid oak and a TPU case but they do I have them in car dock and on desk at work also.
I had no problem using the samsung ap or the nfc task manager.

I ordered some of the Mifare tags off eBay after I saw they worked fine in youtube videos. A 10 pack was $10.20 shipped but will have to wait for them to show up.

they work fine with my phone but i found nfc task launcher to be better for programming and in general.. you can program more things like combining launching apps and settings etc, and also having one tag toggle between 2 different program sets such as car and home.
Also if you are having issues writing or reading.. make sure to hold phone steady with center of back of phone over tag, and also dont move for about 5 secs. even after it beeps as it is still reading or writing the tag after the beep.

+1 for NFC task manager, the one i use the most is on the side of my wireless headphones, it activates and connects my Bluetooth and activates my music player(when i'm leaving to catch the train). when i tap it a second time it deactivates all those things and connects my home WIFI and turns on the vibrate setting. The combinations are plenty...a true lazy mans toy!

i bought official tectiles last week when I got my T-Mobile S III, and they have been working flawlessly with Samsung's TecTiles app, as well as with nfc task launcher
I also bought a bunch of 88cent tags locally here in Seattle and they also work perfectly.
I did notice on one website that sells NCF tags that they say "some tags may rarely come dead on arrival" so try another tag. Its unlikely all 5 are dead.
---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------
these are the tags I bought
https://www.nfclabels.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=63
SO much cheaper than Samsung's $3/each

Ok at first I thought this was just a gimmick so now I have a question
Can I program the textile to turn on the Bluetooth and open an app such as ituneradio? If that is possible that would be AWSOME as it help me a lot on the motorcycle...
Thanks

yes, you can do that, super easy
however, you have to have your phone on and the screen unlocked
i wonder if there is a work around for that
also, the NFC spec says NFC can work up to 0.2 meters, but your phone will need to literally touch the tag. hint: aim for where the battery is (i kept aiming for the camera area, like a noob)

your screen does not need to be on or unlocked with this mod:

Fake Note 2

Hey guys. I want to do a quick comparison and I need your help.
Can someone please take a pic of the back of the phone without the back cover and battery.
Basically show me what's written under the battery. I want to compare it to mine.

The battery surely isn't the right one.
What's under the battery?

It looks kinda a weird. I don't know if it should be in chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Its purchased from an online retailer that claims to ship devices from global markets. The actual battery is the correct one even though the label states otherwise. The phone was shipped with Chinese as its default language.
What concerns me is that it looks like there's something under the label (if you look closely) and that fact that it says 1300mA instead of 3100mA. And shouldn't it mention that its made in Korea like my GS3 does?

Looks legit on : http://www.imei.info/?imei=355251056775893 .
But that font used for "Made by Samsung" is so fake . Maybe the phone it's made from different components and that label is made by the one who assambled it.

But that is not the battery but battery compartment.
Mine says the same. Post booted photos and other ones from settings-about phone

i have a note 2 which i think is exactly the same as shown on the picture.
whats bothering me was the label on the back of the phone regarding the battery.
i have this phone for more than a month now. since i got i rooted it using exynosabuse and i was able to flash OmegaROM11. also before i rooted my phone it was being recognize by kies and i was able to register it too on samsung website.
where you able to root and flash custom rom with your phone?
i would appreciate your response, i can confirm if our device are legit.

If you could register it on Sammy's site, then it's going to be legit...

Yeah.. being able to register mu phone on sammy's site convinced me that my phone is legit.
However... whenI check my imei on imei.info, it says that my phone is 32Gb version but its actully the 16Gb version.
Also I saw someone selling a replica of note 2 online. There was a picture of the back showing the imei when i checked it on imei.info the imie exist...

Yes, it's 100% legit, everything works. I only posted a pic because the OP asked for a pic to compare against.
There's another thread where a guy bought a fake Note 2, and it's visually quite different from a Note 2 on closer inspection (ie. bezel size, chrome rings, button wonky, OS version, etc).

What is your question? Why does a genuine Note 2 look like a genuine Note 2? Or are you asking about the fake note 2 in the other thread?

Ur note 2 is 100% legit... the 1300mA is ur charger rating not battery....... battery rating is in mAh not in mA.
So all good & Enjoy......

Hey, another noob here, hope I'm not hijacking the thread or anything...
I would normally be able to tell if it's fake through packaging, etc, but this particular cases doen't have any. IMEI matches up, baseband and kernel look legit (and wouldn't it brick the phone if that was loaded onto a fake?)... But I just don't have enough experience in this field to tell. If it's real it's a great deal
Anyway, here's the link :

Any other advice you could give me (stuff to ask the seller, etc?)
Thanks!

I think that's a fake. It claims to be an N7100, yet there are no charging pins for inductive charging, just 2 blanking plates. Also the baseband and build numbers do not look right to me.
There also should be a tiny screw below and between the camera lens and flash LED, but there's none visible on your photo.
Finally, he doesn't have a SIM inserted. I'd ask him to show pics of it inserted and the device connected to a cell. It's not impossible that this is a store demo unit, which can't usually be connected to a network.
However, at least the guy is being honest and saying he's not sure himself it its geniune, therefore selling it as a clone...

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

he's selling for 150 euros. The charger looks like he bought it in the UK (UK plug)

That's suspicious, I would never buy this.
Water damage isn't visible from the outside but you could be screwed later on.

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

3g bands should be ok but 4G can be problematic.
