I've seen a few unboxings where it doesn't have it but one review said it did so I was confused: Does the GSII come with the MHL adapter in the box like the Infuse does?
Edit: Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum by accident... should have gone in the Att Galaxy S II forum so I already told the moderators to move it to the correct forum

i was at the att store today and an air national guard airman got one. i was bsing with him as i was active duty a few years ago and saw the uniform. he asked about connecting to the tv and i said there is an adaptor but when the sales guy opened the box, none was presant. i was a smaller box like the captivate came in.

edit, they might want you to buy the dock. i know the tab 10.1 dock has the hdmi not an adaptor. the gs2 dock may have an hdmi port which i prefer as the infuse dock doesnt pass mhl through, i may mod mine to do that if the pins exist in the connectors
Ok here is the deal , my phone got hardbricked by this stupid 4.0.4 thing , so i gave to samsung and i was out of warranty , after 3 days they called me and told me it will cost about half of the phone to replace the motherboard
Now what should i do , get a new gs2 or get my old made in korea samsung repaired
Or just wait for the gs3 to get cheaper then buy it
Sucks man. How much is the repair? Maybe get a Galaxy Nexus. They are pretty cheap now and you will get the latest updates fast, no more rooting BS. I'm thinking of trading my S2 for the nexus. Brickbug has scared me too much

If you know what you are doing or can even read, then the brick bug can never affect you.
And even if you have galaxy nexus, you will still eventually root the device.
Unmodified Aosp ICS Android build has it's own obvious limitations too.

Motherboard is the most expensive part of almost any electronic device.
Getting it via official source will even be more expensive.
My advise:
1. Change your motherboard via unofficial route. It's will be cheaper
2. Buy used Galaxy SII or nexus while you wait for the price of galaxy Siii to drop significantly.

My new puppy Sirius literally chewed up my charging cable about 5 minutes ago. It appears to still work but I would like to order a new one. I looked online and I really can't tell which ones are official or not. The one I found it actually says Samsung on it is a little over 3 feet long however the stock cable seems much longer than this. I don't have a tape measure near me, so I can't check the length of the cable that was included with my phone. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Preferably not eBay for reasons I would rather not get into right now lol. I just want to order the official, identical Samsung cable.
I got one of these. It works great.

If you're using it to charge your phone, best to test with GCC to ensure it can provide the requierd output.
There's really no reason to buy an official one unless you really like the look and don't mind paying a premium. Amazon essential cables should do the trick (USB 3.0 for higher data transfer speeds or 2.0 for charging) that being said not all of them are capatible with all cases (depends on the size of the opening in your case)

If you want an official Samsung usb cable, go to Best Buy and buy one there or order one from Samsung's website
90% of the cables sold on ebay are not oem, many claimed to be oem, but they are not, they look idential, I even got one direct from china, cannot even tell the different side by side, apart from the shop telling me it's not original.
just get a good quality third party one.

The official cord looks so nice though :'( lol I think I'm going to get the Amazon one you recommended. I found some Samsung ones but they are all around 3 feet and I know the stock cable is longer than that.

If the OEM cables were made in China, where are the fake ones made? (USA, Germany, Australia, ???)

No, and you have had two opportunities to tell us over your last two post, but you must NOT know either, (or refuse to tell us)
I have spoken with Samsung about this at length. The ONLY USB 3.0 CABLE FOR THE NOTE 3 YOU CAN GET AT THIS TIME is sold only with the phone and you only get one. All others are fakes (unless you can buy one from someone who wants to give up the one they received with their Note 3, which is very unlikely). The people at Samsung told me on the phone they will start selling the Note 3 USB 3.0 cables several months into next year, probably May or June. Call if you doubt what I am saying.

I must say, W.T.F.?! Have you tested it to verify it does USB 3.0 speed transfers rather than USB 2.0 speeds? I actually am looking for some because using just that rather than the regular cable just for charging would make the connector on the phone last longer (better on the wear and tear).

I bought this one off newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812422979
Charges at the same rate as the stock cable according to Galaxy Charging Current from the app store. The cable is thick and a little bit longer than the stock cable. Have had it for 2 weeks now with 0 issues

I've had the cable over a week now, use it only on my laptop in which my laptop only has USB3 ports on it .. that was the main reason for purchasing a second cable. So, yes .. tested and connectivity as USB3 .. no problems.
Thanks! Just ordered three of them

In July, and again in December, there was a lot of news about a Padfone S2 update to be released with Marshmallow and the SD 820 in March. Given that it is March and there doesn't appear to be any news, is the S2 still on the way?
I really like the concept and form factor, and am halfway tempted to just buy a Padfone S for use on AT&T except my work requires it has at least Lollipop installed. Plus I suspect "my" cost would be cheaper through AT&T since I could put it on the monthly plan now, and then get it paid off at the end of the year.
Anyone know what the latest is?
It's still early in March but if it's on AT&T, I'd be hesitant to buy through them again after how badly they did the firmware the first time around. The S 1 was a good phone after I got the Padfone S firmware and unlocked it via the XDA site. I'd imagine it would be a while before someone would get it to that point for the S2.
But still, I hope AT&T has it because I may want it.... unfortunately my S1 is still going strong and is about to get Marshmallow, so I may just stick with my S1 for a little bit longer.
---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------
But IF you get a Padfone X, you can unlock the bootloader and install Lollipop on it to make it a Padfone S. Just don't install root on it during the TWRP install of the ROM and MDM agents like Airwatch will still work with it (I actually have mine done this way).
Unfortunately the work plan (which has the saving grace of "truly" unlimited data) is only AT&T. I'm thinking of the PadFone because if you ever use the device to tether the unlimited data drops to 5 gigs - and I do a fair bit of video conferencing. Have considered getting a USB-powered HDMI monitor to hook up to the same battery I use for recharging my phone, but the PadFone gets me almost as large a screen with a lot fewer pieces to lose/break/tangle.
Thanks for the info on your experience. Hopefully someone here might know a bit more on the future of the S2.
I doubt AT&T will sell the Padfone X2 (S2), seeing as how badly the Padfone X did for them (they dropped it after a few months, never put out a PFX LP update even though ASUS updated the PFS to LP, etc). If it did well, they probably would have also released the Padfone S+ (SD801, 3GB RAM, 64GB on-board, 4K video recording).
Surprised nobody started the waiting room thread by now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, here we go!

Samsung Galaxy S10+ / Ceramic Black / 521GB
We'll see what Samsung can do.
I'm thinking of unlocked variant to be used on TMO US. Any pros or cons of this?
My estimated ship date is March 15th I ordered it at 6am est?
I just ordered the plus 12gb/1TB in Ceramic White. I'm soo stoked... email says deliver by 3/8 ?
With the stories regarding Samsung's trade in I'm debating whether to go thru BB or Samsung. The latter offers Uni, so it's cheaper.
For those that have pre-ordered (US) can you please mention whether you were charged or not.

I have has problems on Unlocked firmware and Band 71 with my Note 9. Roams and drops the signal at my house, while using TMO Firmware I don't have issues. IF you're not in a Band 71 area it's probably a non-issue.
Also note this was on leaked Pie updates. I don't recall having that issue on Oreo.
I just preordered the S10+ 512 in ceramic black unlocked. I have a shipping date of 03/08. Ordered from Samsung.

Not really.
Except some specific features like wifi calling may not be available. Also, not sure yet, but you were able to flash t-mobile or carrier specific firmware on the unlocked and vice versa. They are generally rocking the same thing.

Where did you order it from, and is it unlocked or carrier?
Just preordered the S10+ unlocked (Blue) 128GB, shipping date of 3/15. That's what I get for waffling.
Hey, any idea when the international versions get released? I thought about waiting for the dual sim version, but couldn't hold myself back.

I currently use the unlocked S8+ on a t-mobile mvno, wifi calling works fine for me. Also, don't quote me on this, but isn't the unlocked firmware supposed to set itself up depending on what carrier sim is installed? Thought I've been reading that for the past few months.

Same thing with me... S10+ Verizon version 512 Ceramic Black - hopefully that date jumps up to March 8th... not sure what the deal is. I ordered mine 2/21 at 10am EST
Samsung.com it's tmobile s10+ 128gb in white
I ordered 2 S10+ with Sprint through Samsung.com after midnight on the 20th. Does anyone know if Samsung ships UPS or FedEx?
S10+ / 128GB / Prism Black / Unlocked
Ships March 16th (due to me waiting a day before ordering it -_-)
AT&T S10+, 128gb, Black glass. I have a N8 to trade in so there was no way I was going to ever be able to get that much selling it outright. Paying $450 out of pocket, THAT I can deal with.

The one thing I haven't cared for with the Unlocked version is they tend to push OTA much slower than the carrier versions, and the Wi-Fi calling feature on the AT&T side is something I lose on U1 firmware

Preordered Galaxy S10e unlocked model in blue color and 128GB. I thought of picking up T-Mobile version, but then I remembered that I can always easily flash my unlocked phone to a carrier firmware
Don't know when Samsung will actually ship it, but date says "by March 8"

I preordered unlocked phone to be used on T-Mobile too. Most features(WiFi calling, band 12, possibly band 71 and VoLTE) will work on T-Mobile using an unlocked galaxy phone such as S8, 9 and I assume S10 too. One feature may not work is build in T-Mobile Digits, but user can download an app for it if needed or just flash T-Mobile firmware onto an unlocked phone.

Pre-ordered the Flamingo color s10+ ATT version, pre-ordered from ATT website today at 6 pm, and says it suppose to ship the 11th
