Hey all,
Not really specific to the XS, but hey.
I have several devices that charge over USB, including the XS, an X10 and an X8. I keep them on my desk and it'd be mega convenient to have one unit that can support several 1-1.5A devices, few short cables. Would be much better than running multiple cables up from multiple chargers plugged into a power bar.
Next bit is a car mount. I have a lacquered desk so car mounts work like they do on glass. Very nice solution, can see when stuff comes in(sleep disabled), type when you need to. Landscape & portrait. Anyone got a recommendation for one for the XS?
TIA,
Scratch
Also looking one of those..
Will be glad if someone know where to get..

BTW, there is one listed with a "flex" arm, IMO a solid arm is a way better option.
This is what I brought for my Sony Xperia P. I live in North America and brought my P from Clove so the EP850 it came with didn't have a North America plug anyways. It's official Sony model AC-UD20 so it matches and is a 1.5amp charger with nice folding blades and excellent build quality with two USB outs:
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666397175&tab=featuresTab
I brought the matching white L shaped Sony USB cable SPA-UL7 to go with it. 0-100% in 1 hour 10 minutes with this combo and excellent built quality on the cable:
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666439473&tab=featuresTab
I ordered it over the phone from Sonystyle.com, got them to price match the charger to J&Rs price of $19.99 and the cable to another site I saw it on for $9.99 so total came out to a very reasonable $30.
I see Sony also does make an official car mount model number SPA-CK10. This would probably be your best choice in terms of build quality and asthetics since it's Sony:

1st link: Rated at 500mah? And I'd need 4 ports(I found one solution but €65 is too much)
Car mount is nice but too low/stubby. Ordered the chinese one on ebay so I'll post back how I get on in a week or two when it arrives.

Hi, has anyone tried using Lenovo Thinkpad Pen on Jetstream? does it work?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.3.p0nEiA&id=12226645802
I tried Note2 pen on Jetstream, doesn't seem to work. Or did I do it the wrong way?
Thanks.
samsung is using wacom technology. HTC, fujitsu,lenovo - they use Ntrig technology.
so yes, the lenovo pen should work. the note2 won't.
the Ntrig pens all look pretty much the same, there's a different in the buttons maybe. but the general look is the same.
China shopping to your heart's content.
Shenzhen, China now selling @ US$7.5 each, just bought 4, tested all working fine.

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has experience with an MHL adapter for our Droid DNA's that does 1080P and charges the phone? I bought one from amazon here, but it would only display 720P and the charging didn't work. So, any success stories? I'd rather not spend $30 on one of these if I can help it.

How can you easily tell if it's 720p or 1080P? I have a cheap adapter from Amazon, for my Galaxy Nexus, that works better with the DNA.
I would'nt recommend the one I got as the plug had no pins in it. But that's another option to look for.

I think most TV's display that in the upper right hand corner when a new device is connected. I've got a really cheap HiSense tv and it gives me that info. I ordered one off ebay I saw in another thread, I will update here if it does both of those things I wanted.
Well unfortunately still no 1080p, anybody know if out might have anything to do with the kernel or Rom?
Simple question, i'm looking for the best cardboard vr for the Samsung S7, but not the Samsung VR.
I'm will use it with Rifcat/Trinus/etc...
why not Gear VR ("Samsung VR")? that is optimized direct to S7 és S7 edge, the general VR cardboards won't give you same quality
Thanks for answering!
The problem is Rifcat/Trinus... For the best experience (no-lag and better image quality) the recomended connection is usb tethering. Already confirmed both connection, wifi was very laggy, and usb worked beautifully.
Sadly, the Gear VR (sorry, my mistake with the name), don't allow any external usb connection.
And paying for the Gear VR, and not plugin it, is a waste.

Yup... it's kind of different. Most probably will end up in another Chinese plastic cardboard, but i want to use it for Rifcat
And because i'm in argentina, there are just a few models... Vr Box 2.0 (and maybe the 1.0), RITECH Riem Virtual Reality 3D Glasses I & II, and some other carton cardboard solutions.... So most probably i'm kind of screw

I've loved the idea in a moment, and checked many review videos about vridge and trinus, one guy plays overwatch in this video:

I don't understand. I've got a GearVR and I love it! I've been using it in tandem with oculus stuff, and use it with riftcat! USB Tethering works just fine. One complaint that I would have pairing it with your PC is that the S7 is 1440p, which splits up into roughly (If my math is correct, and I never check my math ;P) 800p per eye. Which, no sugar coating it, looks like **** and the aliasing is out the ass. But hey, $100 rift, amirite?
"The GearVR has no USB out!"
Uhh... yeah sure. I don't know what model you all have, but mine has a USB out and the not as cool vertical head strap. Apparently there were two versions for the GearVR!? I guess so.
tl;dr: Get a GearVR "Revision 2" I guess its called. $100 is extremely cheap for a HMD of this comfort and quality, and the GearVR is definitely a luxury worth paying for. The Oculus store app exclusives and PC Ports, The PC connectivity, and the ability to freeze the GearVR services and play Cardboard native games make this headset really the only choice for mobile VR in my opinion.
What?!?!?!? All reviews so far, said that the usb port of the GearVR is only for charging....
Can you please give more info about your version? Here, in argentina, we don't have a variety of hdm... And the Gear VR costs about 2600 ARS... and the typical salary is about 10000 ARS... so, something that costs 1/4 of the common salary, is a lot...

Searching a little further, found that there are 3 official versions of the GearVR:
- First Innovator Edition - SM-R320: Only compatible with Note 4. Nothing refered about the USB port.
- Second Innovator Edition - SM-R321: Only compatible with S6 and S6 Edge. USB port is OTG.
- Consumer Edition - SM-R322: The common version. Compatible with all S7, S6 and Note 5. Only charging USB port.
So, please, give all details about your GearVR...

Uhh... Wow, didn't know I'd be in the spotlight here...
(Currently bricked my S7, so I can't provide pics)
Yeah, basic black velcro straps, and the entire piece isn't that cosmetically 'attractive', but I mean, none of these headsets really are. Anyway, standard "GearVR" and "Powered by Oculus" black text on the side. On the underside are two vents and a USB micro port. Other side is ya know, volume up/down, dedicated back button, and touchpad. topside is the focus wheel. On the inside eyepiece is the lenses and the light detector to sense whether or not the headset is on, and inside the outwards face (Where your phone goes) is the feet that hold it, the usb micro plug thing built inside the foot that holds it, and the foot is adjustable for S6/7 and Note. It's a solid "Click" when you switch sizes and there is no possible way it's going to fail. then there's the panel that fits over the front.
Pros:
~Cheap for the quality (Especially name brand like Samsung and Oculus!)
~Wide selection of original games
~Some PC ports exist (Provided you own a BT Controller, you can even play Dreadhalls!)
~The usb port at the bottom is nice and low profile for PC streaming/Charging while playing
~The volume buttons are easy to get to and very helpful
~Not dedicated, (You still have to plug them into your phone) but easy to access and non-damaging 3.5mm headphone jack slot
~Really damn fine lenses used for the build
~Aside from the somewhat cheap plastic used, it is very well put together
~Personally think it's the best looking out of all the headsets out now
~Most games on the store run extremely well and keep their framerates ~60
~Not the most comfortable out of all three headsets out now, but for mobile, it doesn't give your nose papercuts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (SHOTS FIRED!!)
~Once you put your phone in, there is no way it's sliding out
Cons
~Let's talk about the front cover. Why would there be a cover without a hole for the camera when there's a passthrough camera mode in the subspace!?
~Not a lot, but some games REQUIRE a BT Controller. (In hindsight of writing this, the target audience for this product probably has more than one)
~Extremely underpowered hardware and low resolution leads to absolutely bad aliasing.
~Overheating is a serious problem on Snapdragon 820 variant
~Fogging. The lenses fog up way to easily. Keep a screen/eyeglass cloth nearby on humid days. (Or go lock yourself in the freezer. Whichever is closer.)
~The touchpad on occasion is somewhat hard to find the center with the headset on
~The touchpad really isn't that great unless you like Dinput controls on a "Touch"pad.
(I would complain about the inability to use the DS4 controller on the S7, but for some reason, it really doesn't work on the entire phone, and that's more of a Samsung problem)
If you found this confusing, or you just think me or my presentation is absolute trash (Trying not to make a Seinfeld reference here), check out my friend LazyGameReview's "Review" here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uNfkYvYag
If you are considering purchasing one of these headsets, and need a Bluetooth controller, Stay away from moga like the plague. I personally own one. Cheap plastic, cheap connectors, cheap buttons, and I payed $80 for it. It doesn't even connect every time and it might drop off the connection if you just look at it weird. Really don't get one. I've heard steelseries makes a pretty good android specific controller.

Can yout provide some model number/name/code details? Barcode? QRCode?
Don't take it wrong, the review/comment you gave, was informative... but i cant go to a shop a say "hi! i need to test your device, plugged to my notebook" or something like that. I need to ask for some serial number or something like that...

Here, i'm talking about using some mobile VR, plugged to a PC, and with some 3rd party software, be able to play some pc vr games (instability, incompatibility, and a lot sort of problems and issues, are expected).
If you want to search something about it, go and check Rifcat and Trinus...
