I bought this HDTV adapter on ebay that says it works for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 which it does. Unfortunately it does not work on my Sprint Galaxy s3.
I thought they used the same adapter. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Very strange, I thought they were the same as well.
blog.clove.co.uk/2012/09/29/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-uses-s3-hdmi-adapter/
Have you tried on a different s3 or with a different cable?
I have only tried with 1 gs3 but differ cords. Cant figure out why it works with my sprint note2 but not my sprint gs3. I even did a factory reset on my gs3
Sgs3 uses a 6 pin adapter the note 2 uses 8pin physical size is same just more pins inside
Thanks for the info and I believe you from experience but why do all blogs say it fits both. It even says galaxy s3 on the adapter box

I would not recommend it. I really think this is a fake from china. They try and make it look real but i don't believe its real. It feels way to cheap!
I know I have 2 that have worked on my previous phones... but cant get them to work on the note 2

I don't see why not... The only thing could be the slot not being able to reach the usb connector due to the form and size of the n7000

Hello.
No, this dock use a new MHL standard/protocol.
So it's compatible with SGS3 only and will be work with new Samsung devices like SGS3 Mini.
But it works for charging any devices and computers connection (like a simple microUSB cable).

A update can solve it? Or it's a hardware problem?

No, SGS3 is thinner than GN2,so it fit in this dock.
Yes, SGS3 is much smaller than the SGN2, I meant that it won't fit perfectly and there will be some space around the phone. The only thing that will hold it there is the USB port. As a result, the possibility to break the USB port will be higher.

The dock is designed for GN2 with cover, so it won't fit perfectly with naked GN2.

Yes, it does fit perfectly with the Note 2 without a cover. The USB connection is mobile so will angle to fit. I was using my 'naked' Note 2 with one this evening.
S3 doesn't work with it for anyone wondering that, but I think that will only be a matter of a firmware update.

Nothing, it charges the phone but doesn't mirror the display or mount anything connected to the USB ports. US and International S3 both the same.
Do you remember the SGS3 ROM version?

That's just too bad!
If Samsung had made this compatible for Note I, they could made more people happier. Here's hoping some other manufacturers make something that will be compatible with Note I.
galaxy s3 and smart dock
Just wanted to update on this - appears that the European 4.1.2 release for the S3 includes compatibility with the Smart dock.
This is according to a German forum thread with a video demonstrating that the Polish firmware version is already working with it. I can't locate it right now, but can't post links anyway. For now, Samsung.de does display compatibility with the I9300 (s3).
It does remain to be seen if the dock will work with the NA or Japan versions on all carriers once this update is out in all regions (I also noticed this dock has disappeared from Samsung's US site, and from some retailers).
Okay, posted several times on Q&A forum and had no luck there so I am trying here. My s3 mhl adapter that I have been using to play games etc. Via the note 2 stopped working from one day from another. It says "hdmi cable connected" when I plug in my note 2, but i get no picture nor sound. I tryed it with my friends s3 and it works. It had been working fine for about 2 weeks before it randomly stopped working.

You may need a new mhl adapter. Just in case, make sure the power adapter is plugged in to the mhl adapter while you plug it into the note 2. I had an mhl adapter for the evo 3d and found out the one for the note 2 is different. From my understanding the s3 one should work on the note 2. Have you tried it on another note 2? That may be difficult for you unless you know a friend who has one. Let us know if you figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out which one to buy on amazon.

Thanks for the reply. Ive tried everything possible and what ive come to think is that it must be software related. Unfortunetly i do not have a friend with a note 2 to try it out. Im going to my friends house to try allshare though (he has a samsung tv) and maybe ill get the dongle instead. I still would want the mhl adapter to work though so i dont need to spend more money.

Okay just found out mhl might not work with root. I used exynosabuse to root my device. That might be the issue. Anyone have a solution?
I use Samsung's MHL adapter to HDMI for my Samsung Plasma in my living room. I Use it to watch my Movies from the computer on the big screen etc. The first day it worked great but after a few days use It cuts in and out every so often. Not sure if its cause the frames are to slow or what? But if you find an MHL adapter for an S3 it WILL work for the Galaxy Note 2... If you check on samsungs site the part #'s for the two are the exact same for all models of S3 (there are like 3-5 models) not only is the part number the same for all those and the note 2. But if you are really anal you can click the link at the bottom of the description that says all compatible models. And the Note 2 will be listed there as well.:good:
Sv: S3 MHL Adapter
You don't need to unroot but you need to start ExynosAbuse and deselect the disable exploit options.

So when I got my Galaxy S7 I also got a Gear VR. I've recently upgraded to an S8+. I see that I can order a part to swap out the micro USB for a USB C connector. Great! So I order it. I'm happy that it came in the mail. No instructions - no big deal. I find instructions using our trusty friend Google. The instructions don't match the Gear VR I have. I can't swap the connector out. Doing some more searching I find there are different models of Gear VR. Mine is apparently the older model that doesn't have a swappable connector.
Oh well. Maybe I'll take the damn thing to the shooting range. We'll see how it holds up to a round of .500 Smith and Wesson magnum...

No. Just a bit bigger. Smith and Wesson 500 magnum.
well, there is always the "dremel" and a hack it till it works? Or ebay? Not that you would get the equivelent of the "fun factor" of just using it for target practice, but there are always alternatives to consider.
Buy a headset used, Ebay always has them.
Ps. I have a Sig P238 and a Henry survival rifle (AR 7) :good:
I have a black vr headset, and got the side, swapped the usb_C off a box at a tech store but it doesn't fit the headset I have, the little tab prevented it from slipping onto the connection. So I skipped it and it looks like it should all be working right, but Alas... No go. Phone doesn't seem to register it's been connected into the headset...
Any thoughts guys?
Forget the dremel....use the Magnum!
FWIW I didn't blast it to smithereens with my hand canon. I gave it to a guy at work to give to his wife. She has an S7.
Hello
I purchased on eBay a samsung vr headset and the seller said that it was compatible with the note 8 in his description
I've just noticed on the box it only shows up to the s8 plus
I still haven't received the headset as it's on its way but want to check it will work before I open the box
Thanks

Though it is compatible, it will not be a good fit, the model number you brought is SM-R324. the model that will have a much better fit for the note 8 is the SM-R325 (SM-R325NZVAXAR to be precise)
There's a special adapter you can buy from samsung that has an extra space in the USB type C connector that will allow it to fit snugly. I on the other hand once I got a hold of of my gear vr (2016 version) having no idea it was going to be a thing took matters into my own hands (this was near Xmas and the part was going to take a month to ship) I took a not so subtle approach and heated up a pair of boxcutters over the gas burner on my oven and just trimmed away until it fit lol. For it to stay in I need to just use one good piece of either black electrical tape (preferred) or duct tape(REALLY let's the ghettoness shine through lol). Stays firmly in place all things considered, and despite the gaps/holes in plastic no light gets thru them whatsoever. To each their own I guess lol.
Brilliant cheers people I'll send it back for a refund

There are tons of excellent fakes too these days. They look exactly the same but cost a fraction and are inferior quality. Buyer should beware if the price is too good to be true...

With Samsung audio tuner, you can make pretty much any headphone sound great. I like BT phasor brand quite a bit with Samsung. Search on Amazon.

Not true at all. A crap pair of headphones will sound crap whatever you do with the Samsung settings, software cannot make up for crap hardware. The drivers cannot physically reproduce sound like a higher quality pair of headphones.
If you look on eBay, you can find people selling the box with all the original accessories brand new. Usually around $40-50. It's worth it to replace your earbuds and have an extra charger and cable. And you can look for a box from the S8, S8+, S9, S9+, Note 8, or Note 9, since they haven't changed the accessories since then.
Actually the wall charger from the S7 and S7 Edge are the same too, they're just white instead of black. Same specs though.

Doesn't surprise me. I wasn't sure when Samsung implemented the fast chargers. I had a Note II and a Galaxy S3, but went back to Nexus until the S7 Edge, so that was the first Samsung fast charger I had. I just checked the specs the other day to confirm they were the same.

They probably are legit. As some people will probably sell them when they get their new device and use their own headsets rather than the ones included with their new device. Also some retailers maybe selling the bulk purchased versions, which they got from a factory outlet. Which are also legit.
