Hello all,
I am looking for a used , relatively inexpensive ATT android with good video output (720?). A cable is O.K, hdmi or RBG. wireless is Ok if box is not to expensive. Would like to do it on the cheap so phone can be a little bit "legacy".
Have looked at the Galaxy S but am not sure if the U.S. att model supports this video out function.
Suggestions?
Thanks, PK

Hello XDA
In the Motorola offcial site, the S10-HD Bluetooth Headphones cost $89.99, but right now I'm seeing it in a huge deal in just $39.99 AND I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY IT but I need to know that work perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy S 2 (i9100), you know I mean if they pair without any problems with my phone.
Please if you can answer me fast so I can buy them.
Thanks
This may not be helpful but I have the s9-hd model and they work fine in all aspects really doubt there is to much of a difference..
All,
Just bought a adapter cable (Micro-USB to HDMI/MHL adapter) from Ebay that is compatible with the Samsung galaxy S3. It states you can watch pictures or video from the phone to your TV in HD.
However, it simply doesn't work, is there something I need to setup on my phone (like the old TV Out) ???
Thanks for any advice received.

You probably got yourself one of the many fakes that claim to be S3 compatible but really just the old type MHL cable.
No you shouldn't have to do anything. Seems to be a bit of confusion among retailers though as to which cable is for s3. Is it generic? Do you have a product no.?
Here is the link

If it's compatible with s2 it's not compatible with s3. Seller has either advertised incorrectly on purpose or by mistake. Best contact them to seek a refund then you will see which it is.

Thanks mate, I was thinking the same thing but great to get feedback, guess I need to return it.

Yup, I can also confirm. There was an article on Engadget about Samsung rearranging the pin arrangement of the port.

Wow, that's not fair. It is Samsung that is selling fake MHL accessories.
That vendor was selling a real MHL accessory, compatible with the > 100 real MHL devices already in market. Sammie gave no warning or explanation, and advertised that the SGS3 supported MHL, so many vendors had no way to know that their MHL cables wouldn't work with the SGS3.
Now those vendors have to give people money back and take a loss, when all they were doing is selling authentic MHL stuff.

Sorry but I am being fair because I've seen dozens of cables claiming to be S3 compatible and some that say they made specifically for the S3 alone, I mean I just got caught out by one because 11 days after getting dispatch confirmation I emailed the seller and they said they just found out it isn't compatible and offered a refund, so it looks like they knew it was fake from the beginning and didn't send it but still charged me and confirmed it was sent, and I think everyone can agree this item is definitely trying to claim to work on S3 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-GT-...7TNA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341253133&sr=8-2

MHL is a closed-documentation commercial proposed specification.
With drafts, changes are rather the norm than the exception. There were reports of the old pin-layout causing issues being the reason for the switching of pins.
But anyway, Samsung is one of the main developer in the consortium so they can change specifications.
Noone said MHL had to be backwards-compatible between revisions.
It's the seller's fault for ASSUMING that there would be no changes and marking the cable as compatible without even attempting to try.
Additionally they could've been notified of this change several months prior release of the S3 if they had bought access to the MHL specification which is restricted but still available and most surely includes iformations about the reason and details of the included changes.
Hello everyone, I`m in need of a backup battery for my Bell Galaxy s2 LTE HD. I can't seem to find any for this phone online, was hoping if anyone knew of any battery that is compatible. My Galaxy s2 LTE HD model is SGH-I757m
You can always buy a generic Samsung battery directly from Bell at their website. Just click Samsung and then your phone's name.
The price probably won't be competitive, but it's there if you cant find it anywhere else.
So thats our only option, i must say i do like this phone, but thiers no market or support for it, wich blows, i regret getting it
Found one 21.79 alot cheaper then what bell wants, here link for anyone whos looking http://www.batterybuyer.com/battery...galaxy-skyrocket-galaxy-skyrocket-p-7277.html
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my SGH-i757M. Looks like the model on the back of the battery is EB585157VA. I was not able to find any for sale, however, I found the EB585157VK. Specs are identical. Do you know if it will work with my phone? Any other suggestions on where I can purchase a replacement battery?

Hey,
I was just wondering what do you do with your tablets? Do you use it for entertainment or work? I wanted to get some ideas so I figured out I'll ask here.
Thanks for the answers
so only after a couple of days
So I bought the M5 10.8 LTE (CRM-AL09) 4GB / 64GB and I can tell you what I bought it for and used so far. Does that qualify to your question?
Short version: I use it as a cheap LTE connected laptop.
Long version:
The problem I was solving was the weird way USA T-Mobile charges for lines meant that in the family plan I pay for, 4 lines cost the same as 3 lines and so I was left with a T-Mobile phone line SIM in a dual-SIM phone doing nothing the vast majority of the time, as I have ATT line from work, so I was looking to move my T-Mobile SIM to something which could make a difference. Most laptops or tablets with LTE require a data SIM which costs something, a big phone can use a phone SIM which is cheaper or for me effectively free.
I already owned a Nexus 10 I used when home, I'd replaced its battery so it did a good job or being at home on strong Wifi (Nexus 10 Wifi is crap) and just watch videos or just use Chrome. So a high-res 10" Wifi was covered.
I already owned a Nexus 7 2013, I'd also replaced its battery, for pocket-size 7" size.
I already had a Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus which was a 8" Wifi. So 8" Wifi was covered.
So I figured I'd go for a basically massively big phone so when not on Wifi I got a laptop type size device, without paying for a tablet data line.
That means for me its a laptop when on the move which is independently LTE connected. I have a 128GB SD card so its got lots of downloaded media.
Entertainment... Internet, YouTube, videos, ebooks, private mail.

Hi, I have 8.4" Mediapad and it's my main driver. I use it mainly for watching online videos, web browsing ect whilst on breaks at work. Also use it as phone. Best tech I've bought
It's my every day phone. I use it for everything...just wish it had an ear speaker. Great for videos and media. Call quality could be better but otherwise, a great device with 4G capabilities in the U.S. (STH-AL09.)
