Connecting x7501 to TV?

Is there a cable available to connect the x7501 to a TV through S video or some other method?

This is it right here http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=145166 or you can go on ebay and get the docking station I moded in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2067979#post2067979
I think expansys has that docking station too and the OEM version which carries 2 USB ports and an already included 3.5mm jack, but I wouldn't shell out $100 plus for it. Just my 2 cents

4 in 1 cable gets you comppsite video out and VGA out if your TV has that port. I've tested it and it looks really good either way.

Excellent, where's the best place to buy? Expansys? Are there any generics I should avoid?

Since you are in the USA, go to OnTheGOSolutions.com They always seem to have them in stock and they get them out FAST. Prices are all about the same. Call them though, they aren't showing it on the web site at the moment. I don't think you'll find generics to worry about.
Why do youwant it on your TV anyway?

the main reason is because i have two daughters (one is two years old and the other is four months). At family events, everyone always wants to see pictures. Since i usually keep lots of pictures on my device or an sd card, i can show pictures from my device. its very annoying going from person to person, or passing my device around the room, hoping no one drops it or spills something on it. Showing everyone at once on the tv seems like the best solution.

Keep a set of S video or a/v cable in the car along with the 4 in 1 cable and a spare charger. I know exactly what you mean though, especially when it gets around to the kids hands. By the time it reaches back to you their are multiple windows open and the pictures cant even be seen anymore. Not to mention of the mistress calls while the inlaws have the phone in their hand (lol). Just ranting and talking bs, but do get 1 of those 4 in 1 cable or a docking station for the phone's sake.

Its nice to knw i'm not the only one with this issue. I can tell this cable is gonna be one of the 'must have' accessories for the advantage, for me anyway. Lg style i, nutshell belt clip pouch, good screen protector (i use boxwave crystal clear, as suggested in a different thread) are essential to this device, IMO. Of course, a good bluetooth headset may be suitable to replace the style i, depending on your prefernce. Personally, the only time i just love a headset is while driving. I keep the wired headset that came with the x7501 in the car. It works great, just plug it in and go. No need to turn on device, activate comm manager, turn on bluetooth, set as hadsfree, yo get the idea. I only use it while driving though, i just can't see walking through the mall (or anywhere else) with wires dangling from my head, not for me.

Welcome to the club. At times it seems as if my bt headset's molded to my ear.

looking for a car dock

good morning a good car dock for my nexus s.
Someone can suggest me one??
thanks

I have the 'Official' Samsung one. It's usually $30 or so. It is nice, but really the only reason to buy it is if you find it on sale. At various times, it's been on Amazon or eBay for <$15.

I always try to get official one

Definitely get the OEM Samsung dock. I recently bought one on ebay, here is the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...074846?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c2a8ea19e

If you dont want to use the Dock Mode, but you want to get solid place for your phone in your car with easy attaching and detaching capabilities I would suggest you the nanopad. It works great for me, however if you have some glass material on your cars dash(for example Seat Ibiza over the radio) its even better

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):

Also, I saw S-view flip covers at BestBuy in Toronto. They look very nice...

only much easier without having to tap into the USB port. I got two for my "old" S3 for about US$12 each. If my measurements are right, I'm just going to snip the space between the two contacts and stick it in sideways on the Note3 battery, slightly too high, but not enough to let the coils be too off. I usually don't post my hacks, but if this one works and does it before anything gets released, or if everything released is still as expensive as it is now, I might.

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?

mobilefun.com states that they are expecting to ship orders tomorrow, having just got paid I went ahead and ordered one, here's to hoping for the best!

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.

M8 car mount/dock

Ok I know there is a lot of dock and mount out there that are universal, but I was looking for one that works perfectly for the M8.
The only dock that saw that looks really good, is the HTC dock, but I really don't want to pay the HTC price, so my question is, does anyone know of a dock or even just a mount that works as well as the HTC dock without having to pay the HTC price?

Why not get something more universal to use with any phone or any case? You can check out my sig link, just scroll down to car mount reviews, I have a ton of those. Personally, I would highly recommend Arkon Mobile Grip 2 since it's the most minimalistic and can also be converted to attach to a picture tripod. Plus, it has one of the best sticky grip base.

Brodit. You buy a piece for your car and a piece for your phone, so when you switch cars, you buy a new piece for your new car, and when you switch phones you buy a new piece for your new phone.
They're not cheap, but they're built to take a beating and they work for years and years.
Plus, swedish design, yet no EFFING allen key.

This was the email from March 26:
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
We are currently designing a holder for the HTC One (m8).
This design process generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks once the design team obtains the device, but can take longer depending on the device.
Once we have a custom holder available for your device we will send you an email with a link to the products.
It sounds like a very boilerplate response, so that must have been all the info he had at the time. My understanding is that ProClip is just Brodit's exclusive US and Canadian vendor.

I've never heard of this so I'll looking into this. Might be what I want assuming there is no screwing involved in mounting in the car and that it's not that expensive :fingers-crossed:

The clip that fits in the car usually has glue strips, but often combine that with some sort of slip-in-between-the-seams stuff as well. Then you do screw the holder onto the clip, but that's probably not what you meant.
As for expensive... Yes, it gets expensive, but it's very good quality, which is worth it to me at least.
Oh, and here are the products. None of them are in stores yet, though.

I have been using the same iBolt kit since my Galaxy S3. Since then I have used it on the Note 2, Galaxy S4, HTC One and my brand new M8. All worked great as I got the dock-launching plugs for both the Samsungs and the HTC. However I just discovered that if you use the long USB with audio cable designed for the sammy, it will charge the HTC (slowly) but won't launch the dock mode. Which is annoying. I had to pull my deck out to uninstall it, and replace it with a standard USB cable. Now it works like a champ! Though I do wish that HTC would do USB analog audio like Samsung. It made car-integration so much better (quality of sound wise) than over bluetooth.

They informed me too on 16th April per E-Mail. You can purchase it, but the delivery time is around 3-4 weeks. So you are both right.

You would think so, wouldn't you. But my active Brodit mount for a Nexus 4 had problems reliably making a power connection. The metal USB bit slipped down and away from the phone within its moulding.
Brodit could not supply spare parts!!.
I resorted to cutting the usb connector apart and using epoxy resin to put it back together again.
Got the HTC mount this time for my M8!

Repair parts? Couldn't they just ship you a new holder? Seems like a clear warranty issue. That is, if brodit has a warranty, I've never needed to find out, and in Norway our consumer laws are so strong warranty is almost never an issue.

How well does the suction? because one of the thing that i love about the htc mount is the way the suction is design. Does the suction only work on the glass or can it work on the dash as well?

I bought the iBolt xProDock Kit for HTC
I already had the iBolt for the One X+ (was specific for that one, the new one fits almost all htc phones) and it is perfect (now my wife uses it).
The suction works perfect and you can place it on the window screen or the dashboard. It also starts automaticaly the dock mode.y

I bought this a year ago for my GS4 and loved it: iMagnet. I wasn't sure the metal plate would work with the curved back of the M8, but I just bent it a little and it fits perfectly without scratching the device. I use Car Home Ultra and configured it to launch whenever my car's bluetooth connects to it. Works like a freaking charm

Anyone have the official dock yet? I know they're expensive but I'd still like to hear a review of them. Thanks

Are they even available? I'm looking at the page for it here and while it says it's available at best buy stores, it says unavailable wherever I put in my zip code. Can I only buy it online at the moment?

Your right it's showing as unavailable in my area also.

This seems to be the best solution so far just wish they didn't run so much.

Dock 2014.04 OK?

User bdsunb on transformerforums.com has received a 2014.04 dated TF701T dock, which he says has no wobble at all (although this is his first TF701 and dock so hasn't got anything to compare it with). See http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...cussion/39673-problems-dock-8.html#post318402
Has anyone here seen this dock?

I have the 2014.04 dock and it has no wobble, clicks in tight and no disconnect issues at all. I got it from B&H, New Egg and Tiger Direct are still selling the 2013.10 units.

That's very encouraging to hear, as I've been dithering whether to buy a TF701 and dock combo for some months.
Does anyone know if it's possible to tell the date of a dock by looking at the dock itself, rather than the box it comes in? Here in the UK the tablet and dock are only sold as a bundle, and I'm worried that, even if the date on the box says 2014.04, that might just be the date that they put the two items in the box, and the dock itself could still be old stock.

It's fine. Mine too was purchased in the UK and the box has two stickers (for both the dock and the tablet). Mine in this case was 2013.11...

I just ordered a dock yesterday and requested one with a 2014.04 build date. I'll report back when I receive it.

Any updates?

I just received one from Amazon. It's a little difficult to get the tablet to fit in firmly but once it does, it stays in place. Only issue I'm running into is that the dock starts charging the tablet when the tablet is less than 90 percent charge. I had the Prime and the Infinity and those didn't begin charging until the tablet reached 70 percent. Is there any way to adjust this or is anyone else dealing with this issue?

I am pretty sure there is no way to adjust this but I am just curious as to why it would matter?
Part of the purpose of the dock is to recharge the tablet, as long as it does this why does it matter when?

Good point. Maybe I'm just used to it taking place closer to the 70 percent stage, which allows the dock to hold on to its battery for a longer period. I find that the dock drains much faster this way, which I'm not toally sure if that affects the battery's long-term life.

For those who are interested, I got this version of the dock from Amazon seller Galactics. Other than charging the tablet once it hits 90 percent, I've had no issues with it so far.

I've just bought a tablet/dock combo from Amazon UK and for me the outer box only has one sticker on it, with one date.
Unfortunately, it's date 2014.01, so I've decided to return it to Amazon unopened (still sealed), with reason "Incompatible or not useful for intended purpose". It might be fine, but I don't want to risk it - they can sell it to someone else who can give it a go!

I have the 2014.01 and had no problems yet , working smoothly. Only problem yet was a flash when using touchpad after long time.

It's the Fourth of July weekend! I'm wondering and hoping there is a dock out there with a price reduction courtesy of a promo. Wishing. Hoping.

i am ytrying to update the dock but it doesnt upgrade, keep saying try again
anyone know where i can get this file seprrately and manually install

Three weeks ago, I bought from ncix Toronto - Dock 10.2013 - everything is OK - updating firmware,battery charging , plug-in to display ...

I just got the 2014.04 dock. When I first plugged it in, it said it was updating firmware on the dock and then it said it failed updating. Now every time I turn it on, it doesn't try updating again :/ how would I be able to try updating it again?
Also, when the tablet is connected to the dock and draining power from the dock, the dock makes these small tick sounds. I don't know why I would be hearing that though. When I have the dock disconnected and charging, it doesn't make that sound. When they are both connected and charging through the 30 pin charger the dock doesn't make that sound. I really hope I don't have to return it

But aren't the 2014.04 all fixed now of the docking issues? I also found dock connecting problems, which I thought was previously fixed. I contacted the seller and am getting a replacement sent out to me. Why would it still be having issues?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

2 people are not enough opinions to say its fixed
Its not and those that say it is are lucky or satisfied with an unsatisfactory product.
Anyway good luck on the next i hope it works good
If not refund asap and move on.
I had mine close to a year and 4 times repair over 6months with them and still faulty.
