I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

I am using both an Apple keyboard and track pad in one setup and a Motorola keyboard/track pad combination in another. They both work well.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

I do this with my Transformer Prime via.the.HDMI out. I have to get a MHL adapter for my Note. But this is very possible for people who browse, email and play games. NES and NES ganesh never looked better on my Samsung 60"
I dont touch my laptop anymore. Only to download ROMS lol
It isn't quite there like someone said. But this is the future. For me at least.

Note 717 as a computer
I have been using the Note 717 as my home computer. I downloaded Liquid smooth 4.1.2 and now the HDMI to Micro USB adapter doesn't recognize the monitor? Please help....I would also like other ideas for hooking the phone to a monitor. The cables constantly cause issues with connection. thanks you
Hoping a fellow xda member has found a way around this issue before. So I connect my amaze to my cars stereo to stream using A2DP, I use to do this with my galaxy s 2 as well. One thing I find annoying about the amaze is that unlike my gs2 it doesnt connect automatically and I have to enter the pin code everytime can someone share a way to get the amaze to automatically do this? Tried some autoconnect Bluetooth app from the market but it still made me type in the pin code.

In my car you have to register the phone to the head unit in order for it to connect automatically. Have you done this?
Hope it helps,

It works with my truck 100%. It may be your radio. I have an aftermarket Sony radio unit and my Amaze connects to it with no problem. My music plays through my speakers and I do not have to enter a pin code besides pairing it up for the first time.

Well I'm using a pioneer and my galaxy s 2 did this just fine. Everything else works fine which is weird I can flip through songs from the head unit. Another issue I see is the amaze only connects media or phone depending on which screen I'm on with my pioneer the only way to connect both is by going into the settings and doing it manually.

Are you on ICS or GB? I'm thinking of you should probably install ICS for the updated radio. It may give you a better connectivity.
I'm on ics it didn't work on either maybe my phone isnt paired as the primary or there is something I can reset in the stereo?

it connects with my car without any problem. and since i upgraded my phone to ics the connectivity is even faster.

You guys were right it connects rediculously fast with ics I got it figured out, has to register the phone permanently apparently the Bluetooth unit can connect for just a one time connect and permanent registration.

I have a 08 lancer gts with a navigation. It's connects to Bluetooth automatically. I recently added a2dp Bluetooth aux and I now have it connect automatically to that whenever I turn in the car. Only had to enter the pin once.

I'm about to get the S4 and i was wondering has anyone been able to hook it up to their car? I tried with my Nexus and it doesn't work, didn't know if it did with the S4. I have a 2010 nissan altima. Works great with an iPhone/ipod.

I have a 2012 Ford F-150 with the Microsoft SYNC unit. Hooking the phone up through USB does not work, unfortunately. I cannot play music through the USB connection like I can if i I use my wife's iPhone.
I had the same problem with the Galaxy S3. Nexus and the Droid DNA.
Bluetooth works great though and can play, reverse and advance tracks but that's about it.
USB doesn't work in my Totoya Corolla 2013. Bluetooth works beautifully, though.
I have a 2010 car... It has bluetooth for calls but not for playing music sucks because I just put all my music on Google Music.

So I bought a generic ps3 controller off eBay and I got it working over blue tooth over my phone but it lags really bad so I decided to connect it with a USB cable to my phone but for some reason it won't detect the controller.... Is there a way to fix this? I want to use the controlled wired to my phone and not over bluetooth
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Generic ps3 controllers are known to not work very well with phones. Some do not even work very well with a ps3. I bought 2 for my son at different times. The 1st worked really good, the 2nd is so bad that he will not use it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
The genetic part is where it gets tricky, you got lucky that it works on bluetooth at all... idk if you've tried, but you have to have it off before you plug it in, and don't have the Bluetooth service listening for it, sammy's supposed to have it down wired.
Basically don't try to use the Bluetooth app to run it wired, the rom takes care of it if it works at all

This did not work, its like it won't even read the controller, I plug the controller in and the lights come on and I press the PS button once and it does nothing.
And I made sure it works I plugged it into my ps3 and it comes on just fine, (it just lags when using it over wireless but when connected wired it works just fine )

yes i tried using it but it only works when you use blue tooth on the controller (the controller lags really bad when you use it wireless, so i wanna connect it wired so it wont lag) its like the phone wont sense anything is plugged in when you plug in the controller but my Ps3 and computer will sense the controller just fine when connected to them wired.

If using an official ps3 controllee over utg worked fine then im doubting any software is going to help. Honestly your lucky it works at all. My buddy bought one from ebay as well and it wouldnt work period. The lights wouldnt even light up when wired directly to the pc.

yea i mean it was only $8 but i just wanted a cheap white controller to go with my phone, wish it was the other way and that wired would work and not wireless. but it does work pretty good when its connected wired to the ps3.
Just wanted to post I got the controller to work .... All I did was turn on sixaxis like normal so it connects with Bluetooth and then plug it into the phone so it Is charging and it will work with no lag after that

I thought I was going to have problems making this connect to my controller. When I connected it via wire, there was a notification that popped up on the left side of the screen that asked about connecting the controller. I selected it and now it connects wirelessly. Nice that I didn't have to root the device or make any other mods to it to make this happen!
