Dock? - Samsung Galaxy Mega

I am using the dock I got for my note 1 almost 2 years ago for this behemoth. It fits, and works, but it's got a slight wobble from not having a flat bottom like the Note had. I also feel like the phone shouldn't hang over every edge of it's dock. Muffin top is not a becoming look.
Anybody know of a decent dock that won't make me sad in the wallet?

Samsung Galaxy Mega Docks Ebay

Hi
My question is whether Multimedia Smart Dock EDD-S20EWEGSTD will match Galaxy Mega GT-i9205 ?
Propably should work, it has the same 11-pin connector at Note 2, SGS 3 and SGS 4 .
This corresponded to what I can connect to the dock . I read on the net that works well with Note 8.0 , it would be for me to purchase a universal . Only new Galaxy Note 3 Others have looked like a connector USB 3 available in portable drives as if consisting of two parts . That him certainly will not be fit, but it would not buy a shame because the money for the stylus and the programs that and so I did not use . The size of the Mega scares me a little but I think about it more and more, and probably this week I'll go and get him to the store replaced by Note 8 which I forgave her daughter and well-worn SGS II.
Maybe someone tried to effect the Dock of the Galaxy Mega?
If so, please provide all the links, images and videos on the topic .
Ps.: Mega ordered in white reception on Tuesday.
I could not resist This mega cool phone that up dreaming up all night
Had only one item on display because that was no longer mine.

I can verify that the mega works fine with the note 2 smart dock. I watched some videos last night using it.I haven't tried the usb capabilities yet but I'm assuming they would work done.

Ive been testing these dock in Samsung's outlet with 2 old usb 2.0 HDDs (flash type ones), and EDD-S20EWEGSTD showed itself from a bad side at least with one of them, it couldnt supply enough power to feed it up. So as i remember, I was forced to coneect it using additional Y cable to dock and to another additional usb power port (from one another adapter) to make it finally working .... whatta ff*uck?! #1

i have the dock my self, first time i connected it didnt work(scared the hell out of me, cause i've readed something about different versions of the dock) but after i rebooted my phone it worked excelent. still using it.
specs are: 720p video output and the good thing about it is that its charging with 2a charger instead of being stocked with 500ma from an mhl cable.
when you connect wireless mouse/keyboard, the screen of the mega(i9205 i have) goes black and the screen output goes landscape.
people say audio jack doesnt work.. dont believe it thats BULLS**T. look at settings > accessory of youre phone and then check "Audio Output Mode" box to get audio from the jack.
if you have any further questions about information on the dock just pm me ill will get to ya as soon as possible
PS. i found the image on XDA Forums so pls dont blame me for using pictures or whatever, its just for helping purposes.

What about battery discharge rate during use of hdmi function? How is its max 720 p on a big screen? Im using a copy of et-10fau adapter mhl2.0 and it's output is 1080p 60fps. And battery discharge rate is close to 4-5% per hour...

i've got it from a second hand(used by someone else) but its already confirmed that its working.
you can also order on ebay(but be sure its the original samsung one with 11 pins)

EDD-S20 E WEGST D looks as quite obsolete because of its mhl. Its worth to find EDD-S20 J WEGST A. Comparing video output its 720 vs 1080p. And as it is later product = less risks with it.

Quick Q on MHL adapter

I've never gotten one before.
Are all of them the same, i.e. if I buy one that's for an SGS2 it will still work on this device right? They're all just microUSB to HDMI I'm thinking. Cuz I see some cheap ones for like $7 and I'd rather just get that than spend like $30 on a "good" one that's the same exact ****.
brand means nothing on these. the only thing you need to know to use it is you will have to power the mhl adaptor with your micro usb cable
I've had mixed results with these adapters.
I ordered 2 different cheap adapters from ebay (2 because I read that some dont work with the note) The first one to arrive just didn't want to work tried everything but gave up on it. The second one also didn't work the first couple of times but then suddenly worked. It was ok for about 2 weeks of heavy use then it gave up on me aswel.
Now I have the original Samsung MHL adapter and works every time with no problems. So to answer your question - it's a game of luck unless you pay.
Anyone here using a tested and verified working mhl? I would love to get one myself too.
i was skeptical so i bought one off ebay for like 8 bucks... plugged it in the day i got it and was playing Tekken 3 on my TV via Galaxy note .... works pretty well. There may or may not be a little lag though... (might have been my tv)

It's to be noted though, if you're playing a youtube video outside the web browser the annotations wont show up on the tv, nor will subtitles on a mkv file, unless the subtitles are hardcoded into the video itself.

Monoprice.com restocked on MHL Adapters

Hi,
I've read about these before on the same forum etc... but looked for that individual one and could not find the same thread so I started this one.
They ran out before and have had some good reviews for the evo 3D and just recently received an email stating that they were restocked.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
From what I've heard they have been very good so far and well I did just finally order mine. I know that there are other ref. to this product ( sorry I didn't find it in search) but to anyone that missed out there is the link. Also not bad for a little under 13.00....
Just wanted to put it out there for you all

Yeah, I posted a thread about the monoprice ones. I got it and it works perfectly.
This is very useful for US users, I bought a MHL adapter from Dealextreme. I know they have some issues with delivery at the moment, they are still struggling to deliver all the goods. I live in Eastern Europe and this was the only way to get one (well, I bought 2, one for me and one for a friend). It costs at least 29 USD plus another 5 USD for transportation in Romania. Delivery is free, I recommend to add a tracking number for 1,2 USD on Dealextreme. Build quality is very good, it comes in its own package, I am very satisfied with it.
Edit: I have just tested it with a 23 inches monitor. It works like a charm. I don't own a TV, so I could see if sound is sent through the adapter.
thanks OP, just ordered
This was the first MHL adapter I received, and it works well. But it may not be the best. If you have, or want to buy the HTC dock in the future - the monoprice adapter will not fit well with it. You would have to carve away some plastic to get them to work together.
One reason you might want to use a dock as much as possible - is that after 9 months, my HDMI signal started going out. I got a replacement phone - and it restored MHL output. I believe that after much monkeying around, the port got physically damaged. The first replacement phone I got from Sprint - also had the same problem.
Besides that - I have 2 no-name adapters that charge faster, with no visible loss in quality. I just picked up the official Samsung adapter out of curiousity - but don't see any advantage with it yet.
In a couple of days - I was going to post a review thread to comment on the 4 adapters I have right now. Though I think I'm going to return the Samsung adapter.
received mine in the mail last week. It works well, not the best and vidz that you do have really have to be high quality.
( phone to my 55" plasma) but as long as they are worthy quality it is not bad at all. Well worth the money! I should have bought a couple but oh well, I did notice a small glitch here and there but I would assume that is because running a custom rom and custom kernel would add to that issue. Can anyone else confirm glitches w/ stock or is it bc i have the set up I do have that is making it that way?
thanx again for any input on that topic,
Z
Dumb questions. Any special apps required to output to TV using the MHL adapter? Or is it just plug and play? Can you adjust the orientation of the screen on the TV?

I have a Evo V 4G; it's basically a 3D for Virgin Mobile. On Evo V 4G, it's running ICS and Sense 3.6, but identical hardware. Anyhow, I bought this adapter from Monoprice, and it seems to output to 720p by default. Not sure how to switch to different resolution. It is plug and play. Plug everything in, and TV screen shows the same contents. Played a movie via MX Player and it looks pretty good.
Thanks its pretty good price!

Well, I got it for 75 dollars but it was originally 100. I'd say if you use the phone for multi-media purposes (watch movies on standard TV), then get it. But I wouldn't just buy if you want to dock/charge it and nothing else. Personally, I use my dock to make my Note 2 a giant PC. I connect my mouse and keyboard to the USB slots on the dock and connect the dock to the TV so I can browse the internet and what not on a bigger screen. That to me is worth the money. You should get it! It does a lot!

Ah yes. That is exactly what i'd be doing is a pc like setup. I had a similar setup back in the early bionic days but that phone just didn't have the hardware to double as a desktop. Thinking the n2 will bring what it was missing. Appreciate the feedback!

You don't need a setting, you just plug it in/hook it up and after selecting the correct input on the TV it works automatically.
I have a little problem. I wonder if I can get some help. When my phone is connected to the dock the edges Getty cut off from ask sides. I have changed the ratio of my tv but nothing happens. Any work around to bet the screen to fit perfectly?

I have a setting on my TV that changes the mode to PC or TV, check and see if your TV has that. It fixes my issues with the screen being cut off.

I have been using the MHL adapter that was purchased directly from Samsung for the Note 2. Oddly enough, since day 1 of me owning it, I have had the edges of the screen cut off from the display. I've checked every setting on my tv and nothing has fixed it.
Now here's the interesting part, every other phone I have tried to troubleshoot this issue with, (two sgs3's, an sgs4, I haven't found another note 2 to try it with) has worked perfectly, without changing any TV settings, and without the edges being cut off. So with that being said, I've been trying to figure out why my Note 2 is the only one that has this problem, to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I wouldn't know why only the note ii is doing that. With my note ii on different monitors or tvs (either) there is definitely variation in display. Some tvs you can't change the scan settings and will be stuck with the picture as is ( as far as I know-probably worth researching). Some you can change the setting and your all good or some monitors will display the whole image properly. Thats just my experience. I too would be Iinclined to have a more technical explination... i just havent sought one yet.
i have pc settings but since i dont have anything connected there i cant change them. i have tried it in 3 different tvs and played with the settings but nothing seems to work. i got to admit. its no big deal but in really bothers me for some reason. especially when it comes to the multi window tab...

The one in your link is for the N2 and S3-S4. One new feature the N3 came out with is the USB 3.0.
I'm waiting for Sammy to come out with a dedicated dock for the N3 to take advantage of the higher speeds, that is if you want to set it up as your new desktop computer with mouse/keyboard, HDMI monitor and an external HDD hooked up to it... I'll wait.
The one in the link is for the GN3 as well if you check.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Samsung doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out with ANY accessories for the GN3, let alone a dock that is going to be pretty much the same as this one. The 3.0 usb is only faster for smaller files. There's been a couple of guys on the forums who have run some tests. I personally have found it a little faster for some things, but overall, not much. With my set up and an SSD, I'm not waiting for anything at all when I'm working on it.

It is for n3 also. You're not benefitting much from the usb3. I'd rather wait for 64bit phones to come out and mature some before I start using a desktop dock.

It should work fine, but I don't have one so I can't test it to see. By connecting the keyboard with a mouse it automatically switches the interface to the mouse instead of the phones touch screen, so It may or may not see the touch screen feature of the monitor. I would just take it to someplace like Best Buy and test it first if I were you.

Right, it's compatible with the N3, but it doesn't mean it was made for it.
So you think the end user would benefit more (see the actual speed increase) from the 64 bit computing rather than transfer speeds increase from using the USB 3.0? I'm sure the dock station mean for a light home use (internet, documents, multimedia, etc, not sure about gaming with this setup) and not for the 3D modeling and such? I honestly can't say that I was blown away from switching to 64 bit home PC and notebook, the noticeable difference on a phone would be even less.
Thinking about it, can't even say I'd see the benefits of USB 3.0 as I don't (and won't be) copying files between the phone memory and the external storage.

I'll try to get you some pics this weekend. It should fit with your case. I have the Poetic Invictus (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EXA6WY6/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on mine and it fits with room to spare. The GN3 sits just a little bit to the left in the stand due to the location of the USB 2 connection, but it is very slight and barely noticable, imo.

I'm a bit concerned that case seems' significantly thinner than mine but the pics will be much appreciated It will allow me to make an informed decision and have you done the HDMI connection to a TV is there an issue with it or is everything on the dock working properly I saw the video about the KMV switcher where he forced landscape but the sizing issue is of concern I'll probably have to bite the bullet on that one.

Everything works perfectly. I watch full screen HD movies on my home theater system all the time. And the dock automatically switches the view on the HDMI connected peripheral to landscape. as long as you have daydream toggled off in display and desk home screen display toggled on in accessory. You should also set HDMI audio output to surround if you have a home theater system.
You don't need KMV switcher.
I get my movies from Showbox. Due to XDA policies, I can't post the apk for it here, but you can just Google it to download and install.
I am not getting 1080p
When I hook up the dock to the monitor it is giving me 1280x720. Any ideas?
Hello... I would buy this dock. But a question. Why have the note3 so a different usb-connector.. Micro-usb +??? My Orginal Samsung otg cable works. My non Samsung Orginal mhl-hdmi cable works. What or for What is this connector.. Another little help please. Cover and dock works together i read, is this right? I use Orginal Samsung s view Cover.
Gn3 has a usb3.0 connector. Standard 2.0 micro USB works fine
I'm really disappointed with the smart dock.
There is a lag of half a second between the action and the display on the TV screen, It's impossible to play any games in theses conditions.

Sounds like something wrong with your setup. There are a number of vids on YouTube showing the SmartDock in action, including one by XDA member NZTechFreak, demonstrating outstanding response - certainly no sign of "half a second" lag.
PM him and he may be able to offer you advice on getting it to work correctly.
This smart dock is really very nice .....

There is lag from the MHL connection to the TV. I've an aftermarket MHL to HDMI cable and Samsungs own MHL connection, both which have a lag on TV screen compared to what is actually happening on the device.
Fine for Movies and Stuff, but completely unsuitable for gaming.

See NZtechfreak's YouTube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hy3wETf5o0 here.
He plays games with the SmartDock and his PS3 controller, so "completely unsuitable for gaming" is a bit of an exaggeration.
And nobody said there was no lag. I questioned the previous poster's "half second" lag experience. The lag through the dock is closer to a tenth of a second, as is clearly visible the clip.
If that's unacceptable to you, then your choice is clear - don't get one. And not everybody plans on gaming. For me, the ability to stream Netflix to my TV justifies the SmartDock's existence.

S8 output to portable monitor

Hi!
I am planning to grab a portable monitor (8-10 inch) to be used with my S8 when I'm going somewhere I can't use my Samsung Dex.
Are there any good portable monitor with battery embedded?
If possible, I want to use my S8 a bit like Asus Padfone S...
i bought this one to use with dex. it's a bit bigger than you wanted, but seems quality...

Ah, yes... Ive seen that... Sadly too bulky for me, and most important, need to be plugged in to a power adapter to power on...
I'm wondering if its possible to use a padfone S dock as an extender...
With a MicroUSB to USB C adapter as well though xD
to me, it wasn't any worse than a laptop in total. downside is requiring 2 power sources.
You can use This, Or this
Wow!!! Thank you very much for those two!
It is exactly as I needed!!
The only thing is to wait for those to be released. If ever.
Thanks
That was 2 great links i was looking for a solution.:good:
You can also use the ASUS mb169b+ which is USB Type A
However you'll need the DisplayLink Presenter app. However I find that the DisplayLink Desktop (Demo) (Unreleased) works better as it enabled the scroll whell as well.
The monitor uses the phone as battery, so you might need to grep a usb-c dongle with a integrated usb-c charge port and usb-a port.
you can use GeChic 1503H 15.6-inch IPS 1080p because its best in quality and reasonally priced also have all the features.
one of my friend suggested me to read this article because they have mention top 10 best portable monitor with all the features and comparsion table with prices.
Just imagine, a CASE that adds another screen to your phone so ou have 2 screens of the same size and portable. but imagine this to work on any phone with MHL . is not difficult and the technology already exist. so you can have a note 2, s6, note 8 etc whatvere and just attach the case to it.
i had an idea guys. did you saw the new LG dual screen phone? is just a flip case with a screen atached to the cover.
now remember samsung GROUP PLAY ? you can put 2, 3, 4 or 5 phones together forming an extended desktop experience.
i would just use 2 Note 4 phones together with a 3d printed case. think now how awesome would be to use 2 note 9 phones togheter.
dual or 4 sim, dual battery, dual superamoled screen, double processors etc. everything double.
you can try ASUS MB168B and vinpok split touch screen monitor
This should work fine if you plug it in to a Battery pack

I own the 15.6" non touch and it works quite well on my laptop. The one linked is the smaller 11.6" one for only $106
Comes with a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and uses micro usb for power.
