Hello,
I just wanted to ask if anyone has found a keyboard thats similar sized to the galaxy tab itself.
This is the closest one I could find:
http://www.amazon.com/Handheld-Blue...SI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1302267348&sr=8-11
But I've seen some pics and vids of other keyboard which seem to be of good size. What keyboards could you recommend?
Thanks
I got myself one of these bad boys...
http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Key...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1302275661&sr=1-3
It's folder/keyboard/stand all in one. The keyboard feels like an old spectrum keyboard (if that means anything to you) and is VERY responsive! Basically, it turns the tablet into a netbook.
Incidentally, I got mine for £25, so it was a bit cheaper than that. If you want one, shop around.
I just got the Logitech Dinovo Mini and it works perfectly. It's actually smaller than the tab and fits in one hand.

Thanks for the link Yea I've seen that one, but I don't quite like how you have to open a flap to prop it up.
Then again, the others that come up as in your link seem to be quite good, there is one that props up by slightly folding the case
^^ I'm just going to browse a bit more. Thanks for the links guys!
What about the Sprint Galaxy Tab version?
It appears that the Sprint GT has had the HID bluetooth disabled. Does anybody know if there is a fix for this? I would love to have one of the Cases that include the BT Keyboard for obvious reasons.
Thanks

i use the Mac small Bluetooth keyboard, which is also used for the Imac etc.... It works fine, immediately recognized by the Tab! costs in the Netherlands are about 50 $.
I do hope that some company makes a case are cool and awesome as the clamcase and crux360 (available only for the ipad)
I know some might say "just buy a netbook then". But serious, how many netbooks have such a long standby? How many will let you only use the screen... etc etc.
>.> Maybe just save up and get an Asus transformer...
BT Keyboard
I also use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It works great and it's rather comfortable to type with, the keys are responsive and the batteries last for months. It's a few inches longer than the Tab, so it may not quite be what you're looking for, but it's a great match for the Tab, despite being a Jobsian issue.
Be aware that there are some apps that have BT settings that will conflict with the use of any BT device and I had a GREAT MANY very frustrating device freezes requiring several reboots to correct. I was ready to shatter the device's screen and cut my own throat with the broken glass (hyperbole) until I found out about this unknown setting in Pandora for BT sync with an autotive BT system. After that was unticked, I didn't have anymore freezing issues *knock on wood*, so be wary of that.

That's nice to here I'm very keen on this one, just because its so close in dimensions to the tab itself. But then I'm thinking of getting a slightly larger one (probably the xoom keyboard or apple keyboard) since I could use it at home as well. Decisions decisions...
But I'm so envious of the clamcase I'm going to be annoying and ask if they have plans for the tab. Doubt it since its "old" and probably not too popular. But hey, who knows
Out of curiosity, who'd buy a clamcase if it was made for the tab? I would definitely!
Has anyone had any experience with this:

And btw this site also does the case with Bluetooth keyboard linked in the second post for alot less than Amazon.

I've been working on trying to get the xoom keyboard to connect to my tab and so far I've got no where. It shows up in the bluetooth screen after a scan, but it just fails to give me a window to enter a paring number and gives me a message that I failed to enter the pairing number (which it then shows me) that is different every time.
Have you had any luck connecting one to your SGT?

Just connect it as you will with a bluetooth earpiece.

I haven't got a xoom keyboard still having a difficult time choosing a keyboard.
Have been using the Logitech DiNovo Edge with the Galaxy Tab. Works just fine, but it is nowhere close to being portable! Anyway, the keyboard is falling apart after years of use, and I was debating between the diNovo Mini and the Logitech Mediaboard. I will be using it not just with the Tab, but also in a HTPC setup.
I feel the Mini is too small for extended typing and the reviews say it is a bit flimsy. I had almost decided on the Mediaboard... when I spotted this Iogear.
http://www.amazon.com/Multi-Link-Bl..._1_cc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1305288857&sr=1-3-catcorr
Awaiting delivery. The specs are great, and the price is decent. Plus the model debuted at CES 2011, so I am assuming it is more 'modern' and up to date with drivers and profiles than the Logitech products which are a few years old now...
Will update once I have played around with the Iogear.
So many keyboards mentioned...
There's news of a transformer like keyboard for the galaxy tab 10
So jealous I mean I'd even settle for that horizontal keyboard dock for the 8.9. Sexy. I think our best bet would be to wait for the BB playbook to be released. Since its similar sized, we might be able to use their cases/docks etc...
Here's an interesting link/video:
http://www.mobilmania.cz/clanky/tyden-mobilne-honzovy-korejske-hracky/sc-3-a-1316339/default.aspx
Looks like the main prob with our current tab is that the docking port is orientated in portrait rather than landscape

Do all the designated shortcut keys like music and volume work? I have the Samsung dock keyboard but not being able to use it in landscape mode kills it. Really like all the shortcut keys though.
Hey guys!
So before owning an xperia z, i had the galaxy note (great phone) and i'd run my music through an AUX cable so it would come out through the car speakers (i ain't got blue-tooth in the care).
Now since I've got the xperia z, its becoming a hassle to open and close the flaps every time. So i wanna know if there is a device out there that's can act as a bridge? Xperia > device (via blue-tooth) >AUX cable > Car.
preferably the device should be small, no bigger then a pc mouse.
So yeah, if any has any info or something that's similar or better please share:fingers-crossed:
like you, i'm waiting for this

There are other ones already sold in Sony Mobile but they are more expensive
Personally have been using this one.

Works great. Essentially the same thing as previously mentioned. Just go for whichever is cheaper.

Something like this?

Or upgrade your headunit to one with integrated Bluetooth.
Some of the adapters (like the one above) do have some issues with automatic connection/reconnection when the car powers on... But that's the general type of device you're looking for, search around and check reviews.

I have the MW600 (came with my wife´s SonyEricsson phone some years ago), and works perfectly apart from it does not work with the micro USB charger cable attached.
You need to charge it, then disconnect it from the charger to use it. Would be perfect if would work with the charger cable in and would power on with the charger plugged in (read, ignition on).

Did Whompasaurus come with the kernel or did you flash it after the fact?
I may, because the phone tends to get "stuck" on 1X or 3G and refuse to go to 3G or 4G even if there is a strong signal available. I usually have to toggle data to fix it and it's getting annoying. Other phones, including the S4, do not seem to have this problem.
Apart from that the One is pretty much flawless, so I'm just waiting until the end of the 14 days to see if the irritation of constantly switching data off and on gets to me.

Awesome! I'm running Viper right now. I'll trying flashing over that and see what happens!!
Not at all...this is actually the first phone I haven't had any issues with. Not even considering rooting right now just b/c everything works...HTC One ftw
Had the S4 for less then a week before I brought it back and exchanged it for the ONE. Best decision I have made during my 14 years with Sprint. Didn't like the feel or performance (in my area) of the S4 at all. Lots of reception issues, dropped calls etc. Plus the phone just felt "cheap"

Try updating your prl and profile I was stuck just one time and that did the trick this is a sprint issue not HTC

Would never switch to the s4, I have used the s4 extensivly. I updated to viper 1.1.0 and no issues with the back and home button anymore, big thanks to viperboy for all his work. Also a huge factor for me is the front speakers, makes the whole phone experience that much better.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
I have both. Im using the s4 but still play with the htc one. I bought both off craigslist for a really good price. They are both amazing phones. I cant decide which to keeo. I love the sexy design of the htc one. The speakers are amazing and i love the music app. I really love fact it downloads the cover art automatically. Then the S4. I love the bigger screen. I love touchwiz. I love the fact it has more features. I looooove the meny button being stationary and not different places dependin on what app your using. The fact is there both amazing phones. I think samsung listened to the consumers complaints about the s3 and note 2 and did its best to put out a product wed all love. I think htc listened to the complaints about tue htc one and the one x and did there best. I lean towards the galaxy only bc all my tablets are samsung and my fiance has the s4 so im just more comftorable with touch wiz. But the htc is super quick very snappy if you know what i mean lol. Uuuughhhhhh which one do i keep!!!!! Lol

Did both of those at least a dozen times, but the issues are still present. It may be a sprint problem, but it only affects the One. My old HTC Arrive did not have these issues, and neither do the s3 or s4.

Try repairing at the longest possible distance while the car is running so it hunts for the best BT channel. Start far enough away so that it fails. Then get closer until it works.
Bluetooth works great for me, finally since it was awful on the EVO 4G LTE. Only problem is voice command prompt volume is too low.

Huh.... I'll have to give this a shot.
Does any one know of any programs that monitor the Bluetooth connection so I can see if it changes channels or even something where I can force it to change?

I have been having the same issue with the LG Optimus G here in KC. It is a network issue. It is how the phone trades off between 3G and 4G. I will be on 3g and my wife is on 4g at the same time. There shouldn't be a difference between S4 and One. They have the same modem.
Already did and I'm happy
First one to 64GB on Sprint gets my business (for the S4, that means 64GB +64GB SD Card).
Hello everybody!
I upgraded my Z to JB yesterday (v. 10.3.A.0.423). Before the update, with 4.1.2 i used to connect apple's earpods and they worked perfectly.
After the update i plug them in and it doesn't recognize them, it completely ignores them and the sound goes through the speakers.
If i plug in the headphones that came with the device they work without a problem.
Is there any solution othen than a software downgrade?
Thanks in advance!

Do not use Apple product on your Android phone, HERETIC!
Or check if your earphone works on anothr phone to be sure that they works, just in case. That's weird they do not work after the update, earpods are earpods, the phone doesn't detect the mark of it.
same problem

My Apple Earbuds that I've used since my Iphone 3GS are fine. Are you sure you are plugging them in all the way? Mine need to be pushed in a little harder than I would have thought.
I am also on 4.2.2
They should work but honestly apple earphones aren't really that good. Why use them? They are basically cheap headphones just overpriced. I can get much better ones for less. Just saying. And year try maybe pushing them in Harder or try using different once. If they work then that's the issue. Try the Sony earphones they should work if they don't either then something is going on with ur phone.

Compared to the sony earphones that came with the device, they are much louder and have a more crisp sound IMHO.
Anyway using Apple earpods on a sony Xperia Z is nearly troll, just use the one with your phone or buy real quality earpods.
well i have the same problem too, except i'm not using other type of brand for headphone/headset.
i'm using Sony Playstation Wireless Stereo Headset using stereo cable included in it.
before upgrading my xperia z to 4.2.2, it work wonders.
after upgrading just yesterday, my headphones didn't recognized to my phone at all, the output sound is the external speaker on the phone
they didn't work when i switched on the headphone (there are on/off switch on the headphone), but that's because i want to fully experience the high quality sound when it's on and the output sound would be the external speaker on the phone.
sadly when it's off switched, the headphone works well but using standard quality sound. the bass won't come out...:crying:
what is happening with the upgrade, Sony???
Y U not recognized ur own brand headphone???

Well I don't use the sony ones either but what I am saying is if the sony ones work on the xperia z and the apple ones not then u know it has to do with them. I can imagine apple made them so that they don't work right on other devices other then apple devices. It would not surprise me as I am working for Apple and they really do everything to not make there stuff work outside of the apple economy. Sadly. I had that problem with the HTC earphones that where the beats one. They didn't work proper either on other cellphones beside the HTC ones. Strange but htc told me that that is because of the volume and skip buttons on the headphones and also the hands free speaking capabilities. It seems that those often have issues being properly compatible with other cellphones. For example the sony ones work fine for music on other phones but it doesn't work for the hands free part. I know it is strange but I guess htc sony Samsung apple all use a different technology in that regard maybe?

You find that with other headsets, particularly hands free, when you push the button, you can hear fine... Once let go, Sound either fades or mutes!

I have the same issue.
My earphones from the iPhone 5 do not work since the update from Sony.
this is really stressing me out as the shape of the earphones from the iphone 5 is really great and sit lovely in the ear.
Can't believe google/android can be so petty to stop this with an update.
it's a joke to be hones.

this is really stressing me out as the shape of the earphones from the iphone 5 is really great and sit lovely in the ear.
Can't believe google/android can be so petty to stop this with an update.
it's a joke to be hones.

I think this is happening to unlocked, unbranded xperia z's
my wife has the same phone as me locked on three and the headphones work absolutely fine for her. she has the same firmware and android version so the only thing that I can think would cause this is the update from Sony themselves and not the one supplied by the carrier.
i've sent an email to Sony regarding this and will wait their response.

Hello everybody!
I upgraded my Z to JB yesterday (v. 10.3.A.0.423). Before the update, with 4.1.2 i used to connect apple's earpods and they worked perfectly.
After the update i plug them in and it doesn't recognize them, it completely ignores them and the sound goes through the speakers.
If i plug in the headphones that came with the device they work without a problem.
Is there any solution othen than a software downgrade?
Thanks in advance!

Guys... Its very simple...
Click the Play Button on your Earpods everytime you plug in the earpods
If you dont Do that your phone doesnt recognize them

hello everyone. I'm thinking of buying a new phone after my g4 boot looped. this one is among one of the final choices.
so i wanted to get your view on this one as you all have been using it.
how is the speed?
the camera (front and back both)?
is the touch good?
and now down to the more deep questions.
which variant should i buy? i wanna use all features. i wanna root. i wanna unlock the bootloader. i wanna do much more. so which variant is the best?
and does it have any problems like the g4 boot loop problem?
thanks alot for your help.
anyone?

I recently purchased mine and I was really happy, particularly with the price I paid.
PROs
Decent CPU
Very good looking phone
NFC & microSD card slot ( couldn't find this on other phones in my price range)
Very well priced if you look around and are lucky
Rear camera is super quick, decent quality
Can be easily rooted, unlocked etc
Front camera is good but I haven't tested extensively (recipients have not complained)
CONS
Could do with more RAM - occasionally notice stutters when multi tasking that my mate's G5 doesn't do
Awkward NFC location, can be configured to work a little better with certain apps
Lacks IR but that's personal
Gets pretty hot during long games or sometimes long youtube sessions (I think it's a design flaw that the CPU copper plate dissipates heat into the LCD no adverse affects yet so it's a guess)
Battery life could be better but does enough to get your through the day if you try
Audio output from the 3.5mm jack is poor, haven't tested bluetooth
So I would say, if you can get it at a good price, go for it particularly if none of those cons matters. The biggest one for me the audio output but my first preference phone wasn't available so I had to take this one.
i got the x performance dual, i love this phone besides this one i would get the xz premium, this is the forst phone i didnt root and do all customr, camera sound battery screen its a great phone very happy with it.

If the XZ is priced similarly I'd get it. Also following up on my earlier post I did test Bluetooth in the car today and it actually works well really well. I'm very happy with it and it is much clearer than my previous phone which had a louder 3.5mm jack output. My car Bluetooth also doesn't support aptx or anything special. Also if you could get the dual SIM variant I'd go with that as 64GB would be awesome but I have my card filled with media anyway
