For angry WM folks: free adapter

Here's a tip. Go to the Sprint store and say you have the HTC Touch. Say that you want an adapter for your headphones. They will give you a free adapter (dual usb + audio jack) which is compatible with the kaiser / tilt.
Now maybe you all can go jogging and burn off some of that fascist love of MS.

can anybody else confirm this? i may call our local store and ask about it before i waste my gas with a 20 minute drive but some more confirmation would be nice

doubt anybody will give anything without some confirmation and for free lol.

I give stuff away free all the time. Worthless advice.

....or you could just buy one on Amazon.com for 3 whole dollars and 28 cents......even with shipping, it comes to under $5.........that's probably cheaper than it would cost you to drive to your Sprint store anyway.

WELL SAID,
Why is it people are always trying to scam someone.

well the ATT wireless store does not have audio adapters or headphones for the tilt, nor does frys, and amazon wants $18 + shipping. its not official, just a tip on the DL, and if you want you can buy headphones at sprint to comp them (which i did btw) but the guy said i didn't have to.

Um....I'm on AT&T's site right now...and they DO have headphones for the tilt....and earlier in this very thread I posted a link to amazon that has adapters for less than $5 AFTER shipping (and that adapter works very well, I might add).......so what are you even talking about?
The point is, if you want them then why don't you just buy them instead of trying to figure out a way to scam someone so that you can save five whole dollars.

dude you have to ship from the website vs. going to the store. i don't care to wait 5+ days. Valt go jogging buddy, you need it

I had one of these adapters. It fit so tight in the mini-USB socket that it broke off when removal was attempted - I had to carefully extract pieces with fine needle-nose pliers.
Better off with Y-splitter type adapter, IMO - this will also work with some cases, where I have never seen a case that would possibly work with the above adapter. YMMV.

Perhaps you should take a little time and read you 9 posts thus far. As far as i can tell you've posted complaints about microsoft, a way to scam sprint for a free adapter that you could buy for $5 easily, and you have argued with people.
If you can't figure out why these "grumpy folks" don't think that your "tip" of going to a store and lying to get something for free cancels out your otherwise pissy attitude, then i suppose there isn't much value in explaining it.

Nexus S OEM Battery door BACK IN STOCK

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SMSNG6098530
Price has increased from $15 to $30 now. Need to purchase 3.
EDIT: Minimum order is now 3 instead of 2.

damn, they are probably reading forums and saw the demand is pretty high
anybody wants to split an order?
actually I tried to place an order, it says minimum of 2 orders for 2 covers. so that's 4 ($57.98)

I saw... that's pricey. They are crazy!!!!!!!
Ill split an order.

Out of stock again. I want a white one.

already lol

I check and it says it is.
But now minimum order of 3 wtf
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

assholes, first 15usd and minimum 2, now 30usd and minimum 3, wtf 90usd + shipping.. who the hell needs 3 back covers...

Are they serious? $30 for ONE back and you must order 3???
In a few months these backs will be all over eBay for $12-$15

Lets hope. Im in no rush.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Nobody should purchase from these guys.... a case runs for 30 get that....as time goes by, you can purchase a back cover for 15bucks in the future.

damn, I just purchased 2 yesterday night even though it was overpriced..surprised they jumped to minimum of 3 that fast. Maybe I'll sell my extra case once it arrives.

This company always jumps.
When people were getting FFC's for the vibrant, they had it at like $17 and min 1. Then they made it $17 min 2, then min 3, and they eventually got up to like min 10 or something. Then they came back to min 3

anyone have a spare
Nexus S battery door cover, i need one.
Send me a PM.
btw, this phone is sick. much better than the vibrant/captivate/i9000.
im just sad there's no microSD slot.

i want a white case

I wouldn't bother with this company, just wait. Nexus S is about to launch on numerous other carriers so it should be far cheaper to get an OEM backdoor in the future.

Anyone has one for sale?

so I got this reply from them:
Attention Customers,
Recently you placed an order for "SMSNG6098530-OEM Samsung Nexus S GT-19020T Battery Door". There are two Battery Door Versions that exist for this item. One is an NFC Contact Enabled Unit, while the other is a standard Battery Door. If you purchased this with the intention of using the NFC Functions, the version we sell is not the NFC Unit, but the standard Battery Door. We will not fulfill your order and will grant a refund if you require the NFC Version of the Battery Door, but we require you reply to this email (at [email protected]) with your order number and refund request, all refunds will then be processed within 5-7 business days. Furthermore, if the standard battery door is acceptable please reply to this email and request that we process your order as is.
so our OEM battery cover is NFC enabled? Should I go ahead and order the standard battery cover?

Depends, do you want to use NFC? If you don't then get the standard (should be cheap), if you do, don't get it, since they don't have it.

I got the the same e-mail from globaldirectparts.com I told them to forget about the order and that I would be warning all of you not to work with these people. I am not going to pay $30 for a door that is not OEM (regardless of what they say).
First they raised the price by $15 dollars to $30.
then
They raised the minimum order from 2 doors to 3 doors.
then
They try to bait and switch the product for a sub-standard door AT THE SAME PRICE.
I got a voice-mail from Robert at globaldirectparts.com expressing his regret for the "misleading listing" and called the situation he put his customers in as a "potential mistake." He could not even call globaldirectparts.com actions for what they were a FLAT OUT MISTAKE. He went on to say "I hope you don't bad mouth us." I do not think letting people know exactly what happened and letting the facts fall is bad mouthing. If the plain facts makes globaldirectparts.com look bad then you should change your business practices. Why put an item for sale and say is in stock if you don't have it? Is it, like I have stated, globaldirectparts.com's way of bait and switching its customers?
I for one will not be shopping with globaldirectparts.com again and urge you all to keep my account in mind if you see yourself in need of parts. There are plenty of other places you can get parts such as ebay.com or cnn.cn. You wont be getting any less service than what you find at globaldirectparts.com.

I wouldn't buy.... no NFC for 30 bucks.... they are crazy!!!

Moved To Q&A​
All questions in the Q&A section please!​

Yep, agree with the mod, one of the things that makes the xda so successful is the ORDER.
Back to the topic, if you don't mind paying extra dollars, go Amazon. They have the top-notch customer service, which took care of my return of previous unsuccessful purchase of mobile phones and a lot of other stuff. Specifically, this seller called "global mobile" is my recommendation.
I had the same question as you did, because I wanted the phone to come completely sealed in the box, and from Europe. So I tried my luck: I bought one for my buddy, not from global mobiles, and the packaging was partially crap, as it's obviously been opened and looks like it came from Latin America. Then I bought a white one for my girlfriend, from global mobile, and it was well packaged and factory sealed, which was the most important thing to me. Also, it came from Germany, so OTA upgrades are good.
At the time, this seller only had white version, so I talked to them thru email, and was informed that their next batch of black (or dark blue actually) would come at xxxx date. I waited and ordered, and it came in yesterday. Right, it's the same kind of goodie my girlfriend got. So I would definitely recommend this seller with my own experience. They said they are some kind of verified importer and they are headquartered in Germany, so their shipments only get rare and random inspection by custom, which is why most of their phones come factory sealed. I'm not sure if any seller mentioned above provide this kind of service/product, but at least I know this seller does.
Be noted though, since it's sealed and comes from Europe, the charger is obviously different, but they do provide a plug converter in the "outer" packaging, and included a nice note about selecting the right language (English) because the first thing you'll see when you turn on the phone is in German, which I liked :thumb up: Also, you can buy OEM samsung charger U.S. version cheap from Amazon.
Hope this helps, and nope, I'm not in any way affiliated with this seller, so don't take my complimentary as some sort of advertising.

How is the quality of convert they gave you? Normally I don't like a converter, it make the charger urgely. Do you have a link for they store?

Sure, here it is. Honestly, converter that it came with is ugly, but I also had no intent to use it at all.
I simply bought two of these to use at home (i like to reach a charger of my device easily w/o carrying them around)
I just thought the included converter could at least show that they were a thoughtful seller. Oh well, meticulous Germans as we knew it

Smart Dock Shenanigans

***EDIT***
THE SMART DOCK IS NOW SHIPPING FROM VERIZON. I got my tracking number a few minutes ago.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I've been on the phone and in live chat with Samsung 3 separate times over the last 2 weeks, trying to get an answer about when the Smart Dock is going to be in stock. As we all know, it is listed as 'back ordered' on their website right now. Nobody can give me an answer, which is frustrating. What I am hoping is that they aren't going to hold out releasing until the 50% off coupon expires, which they very well could do. The fact that they can't be found anywhere (not even eBay) tells me that the only ones that are in the wild are review units, and that they have not even officially 'released' anything yet.
Anyone have any information to share on the subject of the Smart Dock?

I saw one at a Sprint store but no discount. I am in the same boat as you, waiting for Samsung.

Wondering if it's vaporware, myself.
Would believe it was seen at a sprint store if I saw a photo of it for sale.
It's not unusual for mfrs to create buzz for products and never release them, and cell phone accessories are among the most notoriously over-hyped and never-delivered. I don't even care about a discount - $100 isn't crazy for an HDMI-out and 3 USB ports all in one compact unit. Granted I'd love it at $50 but just think what Motorola would charge for this device and you'll feel better.

I've had one on backorder, but I've not yet passed the two week threshold. For what it's worth, Verizon has them in stock online: [Click!] I don't know about in stores when the Note II releases with them, though.

Well, I ordered a couple of hours ago from Verizon, and my status already says 'shipped', although they have not provided a tracking number yet. So if you are looking for a Smart Dock and are willing to pay full price, it appears that Verizon is the place to go!

Since one issue I've seen identified with this is that you need to install an app to force the phone into landscape to take advantage of a HDTV display, I wonder if you could stick a TecTile to the back of the dock and set it to force landscape.
Thanks for the tip - if it's really available from VZW that's temping, though I've got an Amazon credit just sitting there. Keep us posted.

Does anybody know when the dock will be released in the UK? Seems to be no word on the web.

Clamshell Keyboard

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Google and Samsung seemingly refuse to develop a competent and attractive keyboard solution. Especially with the Microsoft Surface Touch and Type covers selling so well with the actual Surface. The Nexus 10 has such an ideal connector in the pogo pins, and creating a keyboard dock with a hinge could not possibly involve heavy R&D costs. The market is clearly there. I would love to see a third party maker, like the creators of the ClamCase for the iPad, come up with a solution. The new ClamCase Pro is absolutely beautiful and greatly increases the productivity potential of the iPad. I'd buy one for the Nexus 10 in a heartbeat. I suppose I should not be surprised as we have yet to see an official pogo charger, although the one I bought works rather well, from either Samsung or Google. Both are doing a horrendous job of supporting a flagship tablet.
That was the rant portion of this post, my apologies.
I'm very curious to see what the best solutions everyone has come up with. Yes, I have perused all the other threads regarding the topic, and I've found the answers and workarounds less than appealing. So unless Google and Samsung miraculously come to their senses and release an accessory that should have been available 3 months ago, I'm hoping that one of the brilliant minds on here will spark some hope or joy into my search. So if you don't mind, please share your ideas, opinions, and possible solutions that I may be able to try out and attempt to assuage my growing frustration.

I just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and put the tablet on a stand.
From a business standpoint, it's a waste of good R&D money to try to develop an integrated keyboard solution for a tablet. Nexus devices always have vestigial ports and plugs, and this is just due to Google's lazy practice of axing a particular feature over cost concerns, and then they just ask the hardware manufacturer to leave the remnants of it in rather than spend more money revising the design.
People that really need keyboards and mice will already have a preferred Bluetooth or OTG USB solution, meanwhile the OS itself doesn't require nor is it designed around those input devices. Personally I find it annoying and slow to use the OS with a mouse and keyboard, and only use the keyboard if I have a table nearby and need to type for extended periods of time. If such an occasion wasn't so rare, I probably would have bought an actual laptop or Chromebook instead.
Microsoft makes a point of marketing the Surface as more of a business device, but the RT still fell flat in that regard (wtf no Active Directory integration?), and the Pro is obscenely expensive for a device that doesn't offer any additional business features that can't be accomplished by a cheaper Windows 8 laptop. Keyboards and mice on tablets are niche features, and most people balked at the fact that a touch cover for the Surface RT costs an extra $100, which was also a pretty terrible keyboard overall. Google wasn't ready to make the same mistake, because historically Samsung charges obscene amounts of money for their accessories as well.
If given the choice between a $30 Motorola Bluetooth keyboard that requires its own batteries, or a $70-$100 Samsung keyboard that hooks into the pogo pins, I'd prefer the $30 option. I use my tablet like a tablet, and use a desktop or laptop when I need to do actual work. Trying to shoehorn my tablet into being a laptop replacement often ends in failure and disappointment, so I just accepted its limitations and moved on.

i've just ordered this keyboard. looks nice.

At last!!! I've been checking this accessories subforum since the Nexus 10's release waiting for one. I wonder if I can sell my logitech keyboard that I never use. Please please let us know how it works. Kind of can't believe it took this long

also, you can find it cheaper here:

i discovered this link after i ordered...but in my case it's the same thing due to shipping cost to Europe.
edit: as soon as i receive the keyboard, i would let you know how is working.

I see now that minisuit has changed the picture to the black one - it was originally the brushed aluminum - so this should be a fun wait and see experience.

I received an email today saying they are out of the black ones until next weekend if I want to wait or they can send me a silver now. Either way they're offering a 20% refund for the inconvenience. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I wanted the black one.
