Hello everyone, I recently purchased an Atrix off CL to use with the new straight talk BYOD plan. I know I can find a cheap laptop dock off CL or ebay or what not and I know it's limitations but my question is:
Since I have to change the data settings and all that, will the dock work without it knowing it has to tether or however it acts when connect to do the dock? I don't know the behavior of the dock fully or what it asks and I haven't seen anyone ask a question just like this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

When you conect to the lapdock it checks for data plan (assuming your wifi is off)
If your wifi is on however it just starts normally and you can browse and do whatever you want.(on wifi only)
There is a way to get it to work with cellular data without having to get a bigger data plan but I haven't personally tried this method but I'll send you the link.
As for buying the lapdock heres a good site to go to :
try this site all4cellular they have refurbished lapdocks for $100 and new ones for retail price.I bought a refurb and its got no issues

Thanks a lot, that's a much easier way to get around it than I found.
Also, thanks for the site too, the refurbs are up to 130 there which is about the same I saw on ebay. Have a good day!

just saw that woops they raised the price since i bought mineabout two weeks ago...thats crazy
I read before that the OTG adapter does not work with the i717r but i recently flashed the onlyOne rom and the about menu shows as i717. Before i buy the adapter (which i have to get from the states unless someone knows a cheap place in the GTA) i just want to know if it will likely work.
It all depends on the rom that you are running. Not sure what it was now but it was GB (memory sux), but with whatever rom it was, flash drives worked fine but the card reader didn't work. I recently tried the Unofficial CM9 and again the flash drive worked fine, but the card reader only worked sometimes. A few times it popped up with errors saying the card was damaged and wanted to format it. I did NOT let it format and it worked fine after a reboot. But the real winner of this story is the flappjaxxx ICS rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
My card reader works great with this rom and I trust it for use at work.
As far as i717R, i717D, i717M, they are all the same physically......just different bloatware for each canadian provider.
My phone was a rogers phone and it appeared to have no otg capability when I got a cable from ebay. I'm now using the onlyone Rom and still no otg. I'm buying another cable to see if there's something wrong with the one I bought so I'm waiting to try another cable out.
There's really cheap cables on ebay and amazon, but then I don't know if that is the root of my problem.
I've just bought an HML adapter from Ebay and it's from Samsung, according to the seller it should work with my LG Optimus G
BUT IT DOESN'T!!
I already tried reinstalling the OSP apk but it says it's already installed on my phone.
So, could it be the adapter? or my phone?
Im currently running on 4.0.4 ROOTED

I have a Samsung mhl from an Infuse, have used it to mirror to TV. OSP needs PC program from link to work.
The cable connection wizards is asking for a password....????
I've tried 123, 12345, 123456, 000, 0000 and nothing.
There's a pic of the phone with "COM 3" under it.
Come on guys!!! need some help!!
Samsung MHL adapters use a 5 pin to 11 pin conversion tip (see here). AFAIK, it's a Samsung only thing though I have no idea if it'll work with an OG.

Here is a link for user guide, it mentions USB and WiFi for OSP. Have never tried OSP but Samsung MHL does work to connect to TV. Page 82 in guide.
There's nothing about a password on the user's manual, I've just asked for help and sent an email to LG support.

Are you trying to use MHL to watch video on your TV? Or are you trying to use the on screen phone application for your computer? They are completely different. I've never been asked for a password when using MHL.

My point was mhl isn't listed as a connection option for osp. Looking at posts from other phones there is an option to change password on phone. Some devices osp is under connection options, some have it in wireless and networks. Hope this helps.
Neither the OSP and the MHL works... when I connect the cellphone to the pc the connection wizard asks for a password, and the MHL from Samsung I bought from Ebay doesn't work, I guess because it's a 5 pin.
I haven't received an email from LG Support yet.

My Samsung MHL mirrors my phone to a TV fine. Are you powering the adapter with micro USB?

I was just about to ask the same thing. I have an MHL cable that has both the HDMI and the USB. If I don't connect both HDMI and USB to my television, it won't work. I have to use USB 3 because 1 and 2 don't provide enough voltage. I could also use a powered USB HUB if I want to keep the phone fully charged. This is ideal, because the screen never turns off.
I bought this cable, if you need one that's verified to work.

hehehehehehe pluging the USB was what I needed to do, there was not enough voltage!!!
thanx!

Hate to bump an old thread, but I bought this exact cable as well, and cannot get it to work with my Optimus G. Works fine with my wifes GSIII.
does the order of plugging in the cables matter?
Just plug the inputs into the TV and usb first. Try a powered USB hub, or AC phone charger plug for the USB. The TV may not be providing enough current.

SGSIII and note2 use 11 pins mhl adapter which is different from all the others. Newer devices like optimus g, htc one and s4 use new 2.0 mhl adapter. I believe s4 and note3 support both 11 pins and 5 pins mhl adapters.

If you have got an original Samsung MHL Adapter , It should can work with your LG Optimus G. But if you have got a fake Samsung MHL Adapter. I will say " No ".
If you believe me. You can get another new samsung MHL adapter from www.hdgenius.com , Everything can be solved.
Here in Sweden we officially only have the 64 GB SM-N950F and FD versions available, but since I want masses of storage AND dual SIM cards I decided to go for the Hong Kong version of the SM-N9500 via http://wondamobile.com. In case anyone else is considering doing the same, I thought I would contribute my experience in detail.
TL, DR: Wonda Mobile have been great, they have answered my e-mails promptly and paid the import customs for me very quickly, but I haven't yet tried the phone. (Opening it on Xmas Day.)
I ordered the phone on a Wednesday evening, it arrived the following Monday.
They informed me in an order confirmation e-mail that they would pay any customs charges added. When I received a payment link from DHL, I sent it to Wonda Mobile and they quickly paid it for me.
The phone came with a UK/HK plug, not Euro / F-type sadly. It would have been great if they switched the plug to match the customer’s country of residence. But I was prepared beforehand to keep using some of my current Note 4 chargers (which provide the same amps and volts) with new USB-C cables.
The seal on the box had been cut open. Everything seemed untouched though, so I didn't understand why it had been opened. When I asked Wonda Mobile about it they replied: “Most of our products will unseal for quality check before ship. And it is 100% brand new.”
I started up the phone quickly to check that it was factory reset and the setup guide was already in English. Does anyone know if English is the default in Hong Kong?
My intention is to update this thread when I have tried the phone out. Primarily I'm curious about how/if Samsung Pay will work here in Sweden.
I have the same phone ... Samsung Pay doesn't work here in the UK. I think it will only work in Hong Kong. Enjoy your phone ... it's a great piece of kit!
Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
From what I know Sam pay will only work if the bank you use has made an agreement with your bank. In UK I don't think they have any agreement yet as I was unable to use it and when I looked into it they only have less then 10 banks in their scheme. It said on their website that they are working on getting more banks to join Sam pay. Hope they get the UK banks to sign up quick.
I doubt it will work in Sweden yet or anywhere else in Scandinavia.
Thanks for the replies.
Regarding Samsung Pay, I have yet to try it out IRL, but I have added my debit card and it seems to be setup properly. Here in Sweden, Samsung Pay actually seems to have come quite a long way. Several of the major banks support it, including mine (Swedbank), and supposedly nearly all card transaction machines have support for it too. The setup was straight forward and I haven't had to do anything special to get it to work. (But again, I haven't actually tried to use it to pay yet.)
Overall, I'm very pleased with the phone so far. But setting it up can be a little overwhelming. There are so many options and features, and it takes a lot of energy to make informed decisions on all the options.
The phone seems to have come with a full set of languages available. The Swedish language is fine, but has some rough edges here and there. For some reason, the phone came with Facebook and Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps pre-installed and they cannot be (easily) uninstalled, so I have disabled them for now.
Since the phone came with a UK plug I have ordered a EURO type Samsung USB C charger, as well as two Belkin 2 metre USB 2.0 USB A to USB C cables. I hope the latter will be able to deliver full power from the adaptive fast chargers (9V & 1.67A).
I asked for a Rhinoshield Crashguard for Xmas, so that's what I'm using for protection at the moment. I've also got a DBrand black dragon skin for the back which I haven't applied yet. (I'm still very much enjoying the ocean blue back colour.)
I used Sam Pay today and it worked fine!
That's awesome. Sounds like you made a good decision with the N9500. You got all the features you want and Samsung Pay works natively.
I'm jealous of the 256GB of storage, but I love my black N950U. These are amazing devices for sure.
I bought the 128gb version and tried SamPay today. Worked a treat!
Still a bit gutted that the region can't be changed to UK for the offers and loyalty cards but hey, 128gb blue

You need the "Samsung pay framework apk" and "samsung pay apk" for you country/region. Reinstall it and Samsung pay will work again

I extracted the APK from an s7 but on installing it framework it threw up an error and didn't allow it.

Anyone know where the Galaxy s9+ SMG965 F/ds comes from? I bought it off eBay from a verified seller because they had a pretty good deal and everything on it seems to be functioning but there's no OEM unlock button at all and it just seems fake the charger that came with it was super bulky and had 3 prongs and the bottom one was plastic for some reason

Hmm
start with dialing *#1234#. this should tell you model and what CSC is on it
put the phone on download mode, it should tell you on that screen the model, I believe I heard that is difficult to fake that boot screen
Forgot to mention, connect the phone to to your pc through smart switch, If it is a fake it should pick it up
That adapter plug sounds like a European plug or maybe the Chinese plug. If you watch the YouTube video unboxing from Maxx Lee I bet it's the same one he has.

Yeah I'll try it, I just plugged it into my computer and it came up as a S9+ but when it got delivered to my house there was no shipping label or anything on it it was just a taped up box xD that's another reason why I thought it was sketchy but at any rate do you know if the 965F can be rooted? Ik it has to be an exynos but is there a setting I can check for that? I looked in about phone and didn't see it but I also checked for OEM unlock in the developer settings and it didn't exist so I might just be overlooking them lol

Just an FYI, but the power adaptor is for British wall sockets.
To the uninitiated, it's bulky and over-engineered, but that's not the whole story!
