Lapdock 100

I was considering buying the Lapdock 100 today from AT&T or Sprint, since Verizon doesn't have it yet.
Has anyone else done this? I heard it would work for the Bionic, but then their little ** said it may need a software update. If anyone has any insight, please let me know, its either that new lapdock for $250, or my friends selling me his regular bionic lapdock for $200...
Or I just go buy an Asus EEE Transformer or Galaxt Tab lol

I'm interested in this as well. I'll be away from my desktop for about a month this December and it would be nice to have a backup for my slate/laptop.

I think I'm just going to go for the regular lapdock available now and how for the best

i will bump this. picked up my lapdock 100 for 168 (work discount). The bionic DOES fit in the little slot, even with the extended battery, its very tight though. I can see one modding this by taking the rubber out so itll fit better. No pic because i dont have a cam besides my phone but i have reg pics. has built in speakers, and i hooked up a wireless logitech mouse to it. when i went in they tried to sell me the bionic specific one that cost 100 dollars more i think, but i said i wanted the 100 thats 200 bucks. they didnt know if it would work or not, but they unplugged the one on the sales floor and it started right up. Right now my only gripe is the mousepad feels a little flimsy, but that was easily solved with a wireless mouse.

I picked one up for my wife yesterday for her Bionic. This thing is awesome.
One thing I didn't realize is that it doesn't have a headphone jack. And having to sync a bluetooth headset quickly wasn't going to be good for answering a phone call privately. But I discovered that you can still plug in a headset into the Bionic's headset jack while it is connected to the lapdock and still be able to place the phone into the cradle in the back.
This thing just made my wife's Bionic that much cooler and useful.

I guess I spoke too soon. The trackpad or a usb mouse periodically stops working. I tried unplugging and even did a battery pull and still stops working after a little while.
Anyone else experience this?

I'm not having this problem, yet. been using since yesterday afternoon. I haven't had any phone calls since I've started using it...so I don't know if there are problems related with that...

I noticed that the problem occurs most often when I put the Bionic into the holder in the back. I don't know why that is though. This morning I had trouble with it but I just tried again and it worked but I didn't put the Bionic into the holder.
Hopefully the update will make it more compatible.

Maybe, if you can let me know if you have the same problem when you place the bionic into the rear holder. I'm not sure if the rubber part touching the screen has anything to do with it.

I picked up the Lapdock 100 yesterday. It's been working great and I haven't noticed any issues. I do get the unrecognized usb device icon at the top of the screen when nothing is plugged into the usb ports. When I plug something into the usb port it is recognized and runs as I would expect it.
Anyone know of any tweaks that can be done to webtop? I have absolutely no experience with linux so am a little hesitant to get started.

there are three that come to mind.

I have performed all of these hacks and it makes for a vary smooth running netbook

it does not have a headphone jack but you can still plug headphones into your phone and up in the corner of the lapdock you can switch the sound to the phone. the 100 is junk compaired to the bionic one. the 100 is all cheap plastic and the bionic one is aluminum and just looks so mutch better. i have the bionic one. the razr will also fit in that as well.

I was debating this too but honestly I think I'm gonna go for the Transformer Prime, because I need a new laptop but I can't afford to buy more than one extra item right now in that price range, and now that there is at least a simple IDE for coding Java made for tablets, I have no reason to get a new laptop when i can put the keyboard on the prime. I'd love the lapdock because I wouldn't have to pay extra for monthly data but in my case I just need something closer to an actual computer and I think the prime might cover that a little more than the lapdock. IDK i've never used the lapdock.

Nice pictures Cool_story_bro, I was wondering if you tried plugging in an external HD to one of those USB ports.
Thanks!

I purchased one of the 100 docks from a Verizon Wireless store yesterday. I was forced to pay the full 199.99 price, as I was told that my corporate discount could not be used with this device. (Bummer) So far it has met or exceeded all of my expectations. I have ran into the low memory error when I had too many firefox tabs open, but overall I am impressed. I love the fact that it will basically replace my need for a netbook. With some productive Android apps, as well as some nice web apps bookmarked, I am ready to give this thing a true run. BTW, I am posting this response using the dock and it's keyboard.
Edit: Recent Bionic OTA has practically done away with low memory error.

I had mine a week when it started doing the same. I noticed that if I put the phone in the slot in the back it would happen. If I left the phone on the table connected everything was fine. I now use a sticky jelly pad and lay the bionic flat over the slot. (just a little paranoid about it breaking again)

So...you're going to mod the phone and defeat the waterproofing and then if because of your carelessness it gets wet you will have AT&T replace it even though it was your fault. And people wonder why phone companies lock bootloaders and stuff.

No, I have never have had water damage on a phone and don't plan to(see my sig to see how many devices I have had and not a single problem). I highly doubt it will happen so I would rather have a feature like wireless charging over something I will never use like waterproof. If it does get wet I will think about what I should do, I do have insurance so I can always use that. If AT&T offers to replace it I will let them but I do not plan on lying, if it comes up I will let them know how the water got in.

Was just going by what you said earlier, " I like wireless charging over taking it in the water with me. If I accidentally drop it in water AT&T will replace it one time. Win win for me." Which sounds a lot different than what you are now saying. No way AT$T will replace a modded phone, so you'd either have to lie or hope they don't discover it.

First off it isn't modded, there is an insert in it... I will be honest with AT&T but will explain I have water damage. I guess what I meant was I will have a better chance of talking them into replacing than if I had another smartphone. Either way I don't think I have to worry about it, sorry to piss you off

The point is that if, in your own scenario, the phone gets water damaged, it will have been your own fault. You defeated the water-resistance. Getting AT$T to replace it is unfair the same as if you had damaged the phone by flashing a custom ROM on it. Too many people do these things and then somehow (whether by deceit or not) get AT$T to replace their phone leaving the rest of us to have to pick up the tab for it in higher prices or locked bootloaders. If you are using XDA then you should know that what you are doing to your phone is probably not covered by the manufacturer defect part of your warranty. Accept that responsibility if something goes wrong and don't try to pass it onto the carrier. I have had two phones replaced under warranty since 2010. Both were rooted and one was running a custom ROM. Both suffered from random shutdowns, which were later acknowledged to be a defect. Had they failed due to something I caused I would have just sucked it up and bought another phone. Not because I'm better than anyone else, but because I take responsibility for my actions. I hope you do too.:good:

I agree but you are missing my point... I WILL tell them exactly what happened if they say tough then I will use my insurance to replace, if they replace them I will be happy. I have always been an honest person when it comes to this stuff and I do not plan on lying now. Usually the AT&T reps will work with you... So far I have had AWESOME service by them.
I doubt it will even happen though so I am not worried
btw AT&T is suppose to reimage phones before sending them out... it is their normal process. And if you have modded your phone and returned it you should restore to factory defaults either way. Not saying that it is ok but just say it is lazy not to.

It's not a waterproof phone, it's a water-resistant phone, and there is a huge HUGE difference.
Also, with respect to these wireless chargers and having to remove the stock battery cover to do it, are you planning to charge your Active wirelessly under water anytime soon?
If not then there's no issue with this methodology whatsoever.

Water-resistant because it can't stay in that environment permanently, just for short periods of time (with fully drying off between "dunkings" as well).
Water can and will get into most anything given enough time, so this is just highly resistant to water "infiltration" one could say, but that's only if the battery cover is properly attached/latched in place.

of course
of course you can go ebay ,or some online store. such aulola.com

Official Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S-View Wireless Charging Cover (Where to buy?))

So I have seen all the posts for the cases but can't seem to find anywhere in the US that has any info on when they will be available. I know last year when I got my N2 the folio cases were available in the store that day. I called a few ATT stores and all they have is the incipio case that doesn't offer wireless charging. Does anyone have any info on these Samsung brand cases?
This site shows them "due in 2-3 weeks" http://www.mobilefun.com/40790-offi...-3-s-view-wireless-charging-cover---black.htm

No luck my friend I can't find it either. I don't think I've seen such a premature phone release when it comes to accessories for this phone.

Yeah I'm really disappointed with the lack of accessories! I don't want to buy a regular case and then turn around and purchase a wireless charging case 2-3 weeks later.... Ended up selling my AT&T Note 3 in favor of the T-mo n900t, already running a custom rom and on att lte

I'm sorta miffed, too. I think they want to see how the phone will do before they start churning out accessories. I can't figure out why they don't add features without changing the form factor, at least as far as legacy compatibility is concerned.
I ordered a $4 TPU case and a Skinomi (wet application) screen protector. I like to have a cheap (or just durable) backup case option for camping, and for the possibility of getting a new device under insurance because of theft or total destruction. But still, this is a lot of weeks to be waiting for a feature included on their previous release. And for the time being: this (as of 10 Oct, 2013) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Qi-Wireless-charging-Receiver-Charger-Adapter-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-III-/321228364804?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4acab3dc04

tell me about it, im waiting for the protective cover+

I ordered wireless charging kit here (presumably shipped, but I didn't get it yet):

So, really essentially, inductive charging is spinning magnets hopping up a copper coil so much it sends the extra energy into the battery as an electrical charge (I imagine with some other metals it might've been heat). Hopefully the coil doesn't have to be too precisely placed to get enough charge.
I'm seriously thinking about investing in Neodymium mining.
I aslo went to the Tmo store today. It's a little one. They had one S-View cover without inductive charging for US$60. The guy, who had one (no Qi) on his new Note3, indicated on a spreadsheet on the "register" screen that the inductive charging ones will be $70 only at the Sammy (Tmo has dedicated Samsung centers)) stores, and I only saw black (BLK).
I really want to see what color the "red" one is. I saw it listed as "pink" somewhere, but I imagine they might have had it mixed up with the light pink (more of a dirt-magnet than the white IMHO) because a lot of the photos of them look rather pinkish or maroonish. I've seen a couple of shots of branded flip covers that look really (really) red, some that look almost brick, and of course a bunch I might call magenta only because I think it's a word to describe a color without another descriptor (that Tmo borrowed because actually calling it what it is, Hot Pink, completely alienates about 50% of its clientele).
Anyone see any color out there?

there are pictures of the red case on engadget or android central, i forget where i saw them, it's indeed red and not pink, like a apple red kind of.
i ordered one from the att store when i picked up my note, i'm wondering if it's a wireless charging one since it was like $70 but whatevs. i've also seen some on craigslist here and there

The email that I got saying that they were delayed said they'll get them 10/24 (oct), hopefully there won't be any further issues!

wondering whether to cancel mobilefun order as they have again postponed delivery saying stocks coming 31st oct. 2nd time they have postponed the dates. looks like they are taking the piss, stating earlier dates to get more orders when all websites dont have any confirmed date.

So please excuse my ignorance here, but could I just buy one of those inductive charge stickers made for the note 3 and use that with any back plate? Just get any Qi charger for it to work with? Thanks all. New to the whole inductive charger thing.

yes you could but the s view functions wouldnt work with the 2 pin receivers and i dont know if it will even work with the 3 pin receivers.
please note that the n3 has 3 ins at the back near the wireless charging and 2 for nfc but of the 3 pins only top 2 are for wireless charging and the third is for s view functions colour changing of screen etc as far as my info goes.
will let you know in a few days as i have orders pending delivery for official and generic types and will test them out with several of my wireless chargers. my orders have been delayed 2-3 times already and dont know when they will come as have placed them a while back. it doesnt seem to be in stock anywhere.

You are correct.
You are correct i got one of the stickers and a wireless charger and have the regular s-view case and the case no longer works, im wondering if i can somehow solder the contacts togeter without messing it up but for 11 bucks the wireless charging does work pretty well. Through the galaxy charge app im getting around 650 not the 1800 i would get from the 3.0. However i dont have to worry about plugging it in or messing up my port now. will keep you informed.

So the foil trick did not work, or at least i could not get it to work as the foil yanked off one of the contacts on the charger. It looks like the sview uses the bottom two and the charger uses the top two. I sometimes wish i never watched macgyver as a kid. But it still works just no sview functions but i really didnt use it much anyways as you are stuck with stock samsung music apps.

[Q] N4 Wireless Charging Pins Same as N3?

I was just wondering whether the wireless charging receivers for the Note 3 can be used for the Note 4. Does anybody know?

No... They aren't the same - unfortunately

It took a little digging, but I finally found it! Ready for pre-order here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFKS4WM
Mind you, there is a warning that it may interfere with NFC and S-View functions of the Note 4!

Output is just 600mA... That's a piece of crap and really expensive... I always get 1000mA pads for $8-$12 on ebay... (usually are blue too, but with 1000mA... Honestly... Done it Already for the Note 2 & 3... Still waiting this year for them to show up on ebay...As soon as I see them, will post link... Promess... Don't buy those...
Here is a spare one I have as proof...

Too bad stock limits charging to 460mA. With cm or different kernel can bump that up to about 700mA. I wish the phones could go up to 1000mA when wirelessly charging.

Hmmm, if what you are saying is correct, then except for price I didn't do so bad! I'm not sure if I will be flashing any custom ROMs or kernels, but it is something to consider just to get wireless charging a little faster. Why is there a limit, is it due to safety issues?

Actually there was a Kernel for the Note 2 that was modified to 850mA... Anyway... That's a really good question about the limit... Also, if you get the 1000mA pad you also have to make sure that the charging station also gets to at least 1000mA... (almost all of the cheap ones on Ebay also go up to 1000mA) But that's something to consider... In case you get the 1000mA receiver pad but your station is just 700mA...
Also @RaymondPJR...
If you got it thru amazon, you can just cancel order... Go to my orders on Amazon and you will se a Cancel button... Specifically on orders that will not ship until later... (credit card is also not charged until shipment) Just a hint that you probably already know... in case you really want to cancel...
I am 100% sure the pads I am talking about will show up really soon on ebay. I am a huge fan of wireless charging... Lol

Back in the day I did my own Wireless charging mod for my S3 and bought a receiver pad from Verizon. It was for one of the Lumias, I think. It shouldn't be too hard to find out what it's limit is, although I suspect it would be at the lower level. I think I'll just keep the order, however, I don't mind what Ive paid for it.

You know how Sammy is. The phones accessories aren't compatible with each other (For money of course). The batteries are all different shapes and sizes so that no battery can be used on another Galaxy phone.
So no, they aren't compatible.

I'm having a change of heart since I saw a totally round Qi charging puck for only $22.00! It's beautiful although I haven't looked up it's specs yet. If development were moving faster it would be easy. Here's to a successful custom recovery real soon !!!

So, it wouldn't matter if my charging puck is only 750mA; I can use this one and get a max of 750mA? What are the shipping time and charges for this?

Beware of FAKE Galaxy Note 4

Hi folks, this is my first post on this forum and I thought I’d share with you a recent misadventure of mine.
Since the Galaxy Note 4 is currently not being sold without a contract in my area, it created some kind of a parallel market for people getting the device by using their actual contract and then reselling it on classifieds websites like craigslist or kijiji.
Being the impulsive buyer that I am, I took the chance of buying one from one of those people. I met the guy in a parking lot, inspected the device quickly but still took the time to google the model number that was showed in the About Phone screen which checked out ok. It turns out I should have paid attention to more than the model number… As it turns out, I bought a fake Galaxy Note 4 for the full price of a genuine one.
What first tipped me off was when I got home I opened the box and saw that the phone apparently turned itself back on during transport and was displaying this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I thought to myself “Uh oh… this is not good”. A hard reboot made it disappear but after investigating, i realized that what I had in my hand was a very good knock off of Samsung’s famous Galaxy Note 4.
Needless to say, the seller was not reachable anymore….So to make a long story short, I ended up going to the store and bought a brand new (genuine) one that I had to put on a contract.
So now that I have the two devices in my hands, I thought of making a list of differences and post them here. It is to be noted that the real one that I bought is the SM-N910W8 which is the canadian version, while the fake one is labeled as the SM-N910F which I believe would refer to the US version. So keep in mind that some of these differences might be due to the different geographical versions that I have….but I doubt it. Feel free to correct me.
So here it is:
The Box: the main difference that I noticed was that the real one had a mention that it was printed in Vietnam. The fake one didn’t mention any printed location. The box’s color is closer to beige than white on the fake one.
On the first look: they appear to be carbon copies, although the fake one seems to be of a less bring white than the real one. But you would need to have the two sitting next to each other to notice this.
The battery: Other than text layout, the differences are that the real one states that it’s made in korea but assembled in Vietnam while the fake one is made in Japan. The voltage too is slightly different, 3.85v for the real one, 3.7 for the fake.
Behind the cover: there are a few noticeable differences here, first the real one has some kind of a small white square insert behind the battery while the fake doesn’t. Also there is some greenish color on the SIM and SDCARD bezels on the fake one while the real one’s are silver. But the dead giveaway here is that on the fake one, the IMEI number printed on the back sticker did not even match the one in the About Phone screen in settings.
The Cover: the inside of the cover’s colours don’t quite match as you can see here
Apps & OS: This is where the differences become more obvious. First of all the fake one doesn’t have KNOX and all the samsung bloatware. Also, some stupid misspellings are visible here and there, like for instance instead of Messages it says Messagin. Also, instead of Internet it says Browser.
The About Phone/Device screen in settings: Again, the differences here are obvious. First of all the real one has a white and blue theme and is labeled About Device while the fake one as an older black and white theme and is labeled About Phone. Then that’s where you can clearly see that the Baseband version is not an original Samsung one. Same thing for the Kernel.
Other than that, I noticed that the two capacitive buttons on each side of the home button don’t seem to light up on the fake one. And generally speaking, the fake one is slower than the real one. I didn’t go as far as running some benchmark apps on it but I am sure it would not score anywhere near the real Samsung Note 4.

Sorry man that really sucks. Good for posting the info and glad you have a real phone. Lessons learned, maybe the hard way but no one got hurt....unless you run into that guy again :/

Uhhhhhh

Pity you. You shall able to know it is fake when you seen the settings in black background. That part is too obvious it is fake.

Damn man that sucks.
Least you're showing everyone what to avoid and what not. Didn't even think there would be a fake version of the N4 heh

Guys I'm devastated by this myself as I just got one myself. I thought I was going to get a gift for my wife and found out from this post that this is a fake Note 4 I'm holding in my hand. This is just too unfair to the world. Just not right for these crooks to do something like that. Can we contact our local police department if we have their number?
What a sad sad day

Bummer for you, but no news to me to be honest, every popular model have Chinese fakes within weeks after release. Same with Iphone, Galaxy S5 etc etc. Lots of them on ebay and other online markets. And yes they are very easy to identify when you turn them on. If you buy one on a parking lot and don't switch it on and test it with a SIM, before handing money you ask for being ripped off. When ordering online and you are not able to test make sure you use a credit card so you some form of insurance. Kind of confused people still fall for these clones. It's common knowledge.

Does if have a AMOLED screen too? If not i would have regonized it in a sec, i buy Samsung phones mostly for the amazing screen The fake note 3 i almost bought (in the netherlands) had a lower resolution too. This fake note 4 dont have a 1440p screen i guess, more like 1080p or even 720p...

Check aliexpress note 4 for 150 dollars ... your fake one is in bad french "funny"

I feel your pain and I am sorry for you.
When the Galaxy S3 was released, the market everywhere in the world was flooded with fake devices very quickly. I created an app that was able to identify fake S3 and report it to the user. It became quite popular on Play Store with 50k+ downloads.
I think it is about time I create something similar for the Note 4. It may not be much, but it will help users like you instantly identity fake devices regardless of what they look like on the outside.

Most them fakes don't even have a proper download mode. My sister got scammed with a fake s4 and the download combination drops it into recovery which, apart from the crappy screen, were dead giveaways for me.

I am selling my Note4 BNIB & I am selling it from my home address with proof of purchase & also proof of identity.
In the UK lots of people are getting caught by people that later report it stolen to collect the insurance, sometimes months later your handset gets blocked.
They always want to meet up in parking lots ETC
It's good advice to never buy a phone somewhere like that.
Sorry to hear you learned the hard way.

Out of curiosity, did you buy this from Toronto/Mississauga? There was an ad on Kijiji that was selling SM-N910F and I offered him $650. He didn't even hostage to take it. He had asked me to meet him at a parking lot as well.
