EDIT: Apparently this one will NOT work for the s3 since it requires an 11 pin adapter.
This seems to be the most affordable and quality product that I could find, and has really good reviews on Amazon as well. At $11.99, you really can't go wrong here.

That adapter is not for the S3 as it is still has a 5 pin connection. The S3 requires an 11 pin adapter.

Is this confirmed for the sgs3? I thought it used a new, unique mhl adapter. Samsung has made an adapter for old adapters but that's like another $15 and then you need two dongle things

Thanks for letting me know -- I have this sitting in my shopping cart right now! :good: For some reason this pops-up when you search accessories for the S3 though.

Found this for $8.95 at Android Central Store.

I refuse to buy an adapter FOR an adapter on principle.
I'll just keep waiting for the $10 knockoff MHL adapter that's s3-compatible to pop up on Ebay

In-Flight (USB/Dock) Keyboard for Note

I just realized one thing I'll miss about my Transformer is having a physically connected keyboard that I can use while travelling by plane. From what I've read Bluetooth keyboards are a no-no for in flight usage. Has anyone used a USB connected mini-keyboard using the Samsung USB adapter? I also know Samsung will be coming out (from what I've read here) with a keyboard dock but it's not available yet. I thought I also read somewhere that the Tab 10.1 dock will work with the Note 10.1.
Has anyone had any luck or a good setup for using an in-flight keyboard setup for the Note 10.1?

Hello.
I use this one http://www.logitech.com/fr-fr/mice-pointers/mice-keyboard-combos/6229
Works perfectly, both mice and keyboard .

Still based on frequencies, so not what the OP is looking for.

Exactly. Might not be BT but anything wireless shouldn't be used in flight.

I'm ready to order one! Don't even care about battery and ports on the Asus one I had. Sure it was nice but I've lived without them just fine. Just need a real hardware keyboard for travel.

Ok, I know everyone will probably gag on this but...
As I was reading this thread, I went upstairs and obsconded (kids dont use it, WTH) the WII Usb KB and connected it. Works fantastic!
If you have one laying around... it may solve your want.

I picked up the official Samsung keyboard dock last week, it works nicely for that purpose!
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/...es/EKD-K14AWEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
Unfortunately, it's expensive and not available in most stores yet. Picked it up from the Samsung store in Sydney CBD.
Just so you know, Australia and USA both use the US keyboard layout (as opposed to the UK, which uses the UK layout), so maybe that could help you guys in the states source one of these? You won't have a messed up layout like you would ordering from the UK. Then again, I don't know any Australian place offering these for shipping internationally so that could be moot.

Very frustrating to not have these available for purchase in the US.

Is it possible to close it? Like the transformer or a regular laptop? Dont feel like not being able to close it..
An extra battery would be nice though incase of very long flights or train/car rides..

It doesn't hinge so you can't "fold" it closed like a regular laptop. Instead you just pull it out of the dock.

I know it has been discussed but I wanted to share my work. Not beautiful but it works. This is the dock for the Tab 10.1 modified for use with my Note 10.1

Sorry man but "not beautiful" is an understatement. Let's just say I'm glad I waited for the Note 10.1 version!

OTG cable

Any cheap otg cables from Amazon that work with our tablet? Could people provide a link with the one that they use!

I bought mine from monoprice. It cost $1.44 and works very well with my note. Monoprice also sells good quality products. Just go to the website and search for "otg".

i buy lots of stuff from monoprice, but i usually have to buy twice the amount i need because of failure rates. it still comes out cheaper than buying from anywhere else though.

Hi, Does this charge the Galaxy note 3 / Galaxy Note 2014 at the same time as using it?

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was only $ 1.54 with free shipping. But I did have to wait almost three weeks for delivery from HongKong.
Note: Free shipping when purchased from LTZmart - Ships From HongKong.
It works pretty good. I tried an old 160 GB drive, and it didn't even need a powered hub.
I didn't notice if the battery was charging or not.

it didn't seem to. I only used it for a few minutes on each and none gained any charge. I tried three different chargers, including the stock one.

Spare battery

Somebody found on stores a spare original battery? I bought this phone since I can swap batteries, but I can't find them
I know it could be early, but in USA they are giving them away and samsung has spare batteries same day they relesed the phones :-/
Thank you

My experieince with a ton of Samsung phones is that I have to wait a month or even more to order a spare battery kit (Note4, Note3, etc). Thats if I buy one at release.
Have you tried a Verizon store? My local VZ store had them in stock. If you arent US, ebay has them for around 30$ USD with cradle, but they are shipped from Korea.

A samsung battery bought with S5 the same release week was $15.Maybe we didn't need to wait in italy since the official store release was later than USA and we can find the battery at the same time time of the other.
Anyhow it's alittle bit that the phone was released!

It doesn't have it's original package. It seems it is not legit since it is not packed properly. It is only wrapped with an ordinary plastic. What do you think about it? Can we trust them? Thanks!

The seller has excellent feedback. Also this is coming from Korea and the battery is LG branded. I dont think the lack of original packaging makes this fake.

the non OEM original name is "LG G4 Power Pack" and comes with package, you can find an auction about it, but it's still something like €59 euros: you can buy almost 5 original LG G3 battery or 6 non original battery for the same price today, so it's just a question of time, I won't waste money till they are officially sold in Europe since I don't even need a cradle... :-/

Fast Charging Wireless Powerbank

Hi Folks
I'm looking for a wireless power bank that supports fast charging.
I looked around, eBay, Amazon but couldn't find anything,
usually, only the wired part of the bank supports fast charging, but not the wireless...
Is something like this even available...?

ANGELIOX but it looks like its unavailable. Found on Amazon but again they are not available. I know they have plenty of wireless charge banks but not wireless fast charging. Hopefully someone will make another this year

What about samsung product? I believe it is fast charging. But please correct me if i'm wrong
