Yes. You heard right and its made through sprint here's the link with the full details
http://i.engadget.com/2010/11/02/evo-4g-hdmi-dock-finally-shows-up-at-sprint-stores-will-come-ho/
sent through my Special Edition White HTC EVO 4g while in the ****ter
EVO Sweetness!
I checked it out in store placed my device in dock wasn't to impressed
HDMI & USB connectors made me nervous seeing how there's very little back support on dock thus weight of device pulls on them.
$40, and doesn't work even Sprint's own extended batery or cases...
Yeah, I think I'll just make by own by using the kickstand, and a $10 cable from eBay.
Speaking of this... has anyone tried to pair the evo hdmi via an adaptor for the older DCI input on LCD tvs?
This is pointless without full hdmi

bought mine last week. Pita to dock it on the fly. Not impressed.

HDMI Cable
So, I bought an HDMI Cable a couple of days ago, when I plug it in to my TV it freezes my phone!!! so i need to do a battery Pull... is there a fix to this or is it the cable?
O wow, thats what I did, I saw it on Engadget this morning and ran to the Sprint store to get it.
I bought it, I like it, looks nice on my desk, nothing special though... I wish someone could mod my HTC CR G300 Dock to fit my EVO...thats one sexy dock
Edit: I also await that great day when someone gets us full HDMI support on the Evo
Wait, it holds the device veritcally?

yup, and it seems to only charge in usb mode instead of AC Other than that , looks cool, holds phone well , dock feels solid and imo the #1 thing.....walked into store, paid and left no online 3rd party @$!t
wow an hdmi dock for a phone where the HDMI is pretty much completely worthless. i can't believe what a rouse the hdmi dock on this phone has been.

Tomorrow when I get to my office my Note should be there waiting for me. It is coming from Handtec, I am in the USA. Will I need to bring with me an adapter for the charger? ALSO. The charger that comes with the Note, is it like the one that comes with the Galaxy Tab? Sort of iPhone-looking connector - Or (fingers crossed) is it a NORMAL USB mini or regular connector?

No, any microUSB charger will do. I am trying to find a more powerful charger at least at 1A. Anyone have suggestions for a cheap one online? I may check out Target when I am in the states next week.

You will not be able to use the charger that comes with it in the USA without an adapter. It is made for European markets. You can plug the cable with the mini usb and usb connections into a computer to charge it until you get a charger that works here. Buying an adapter is a waste of money. You can buy a charger most anywhere for next to nothing. I bought 4 or 5 on Amazon for $2 or $3 including shipping.
check this out..

When I had the Galaxy S 2 I used the iPhone charging cube (which is 1A) to charge my GS2 faster and IMHO it is the best charger for Samsung phones in terms of power, portability, and looks. Definitely worth looking into.

I probably have some chargers and I have several adapters too, but HATE THEM. I will bring an adapter with me to the office and then try out chargers at home. Wonder if the one that I plug my iphone/ipad/into works. OR .. I can use the one from my Galaxy Tab 7" right? Then when I sell the Tab (it has phone also) I can give them some other charger.
I am quite fond of the HTC travel charger that came with my mytouch 4g:
search for: 79h0009814m
It's nice and compact.
warning though: I bought a black one off of amazon and it seems to be fake - it doesn't charge nearly as fast as the one that came with my mytouch 4g. It's still compact so I still use it a lot.

Iphone/ipad charger will work if you connect it with cable that comes with the Note (use the mini USB connection for the phone and plug the USB connection into the charger.) One from Galaxy Tab 7" will work as well.

You can use the GTab7's charger, but when you sell it you really should include the proper charger as regular USB chargers will only trickle charge the GTab7.
The Note's charger is 5V/1A, so you should be able to find many suitable chargers for it very cheaply.

I got a nice, thin rectangular charger with my jawbone headset. The first jawbone. I like that the prongs fold in on that charger. would love for it to work on my note.
looking at some of the pics from the various brief reviews around the web, it seems this device has four pogo pins vs the SGN's three.
so what do we reckon they are for?
i would personally love to see a landscape dock with HDMI & USB host, just like the Advent Vega/ Viewpad 10S had. such a nice feature for a mobile office, also great for playing games on the big screen! :laugh:
place your bets here the closest guess wins a Nexus 7
(no not really, but wouldnt that be cool?)
there are POGO pins for the dock

Betting keyboard like the lapdock
by me, for me and I love you
My money is on a desk dock similar to that released for the GNex, first, followed perhaps by a vehicle dock. I'm not seeing much chance for a keyboard dock; the 7" form factor is too narrow, I feel, and it doesn't mesh well with Google's apparent intention for this to be an almost exclusive consumption device.

being four pins... is it too much to ask for MHL? I can live with a BT keyboard but MHL is somewhat of a deal breaker for me.... especially as the $300 tennis ball isn't avaliable in the UK (and likely wont be for some time!)

MHL needs 3 pins (Differential pair + control) + power + ground So it can't be MHL.
I'd say it's more likely to be something simple like stereo audio+power+ground

Uhhhh... if mhl needs 3 pins and this has 4, how is that a problem again...?? Can they just NOT use one pin for mhl... and use the extra pin for some other accessory...??

MHL need 3 pins for _signal_ you would also need power and ground, for a minimum of 5 pins
Probably the same as the Nexus and just a lame $90 desk dock that only has a head phone jack.
My best hope is you will get an audio dock (with speakers) that should be great for watching movies. 4 pins is not enough for much else - and Asus has talked about an audio dock.
Audio dock is on the way for sure. Possibly no keyboard, though.

You are correct.
"Those hoping for a docking keyboard, as found on the company's Transformer range of tablets, should expect to be disappointed however. Asus has told Pocket-lint there were no plans for one telling and that the device needs to be 10-inches or more for it to work effectively."
Sigh...

hopefully its for an awesome, dual analog, 4 face button, 4 shoulder button, slim game controller dock that comes with an easy to us GUI touch map software and full tegra support. PS Vita watch out!
but in reality its for the stereo speaker dock, that will probably cost halve the amount the actual tab costs and sound like a deaf person singing...

So I just bought this wireless charging dock last night: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400461623073
And thought that this is all I would need in order to charge my battery. However, Now I'm worried I will need a battery door. Does anyone know git certain whether or not I will need a different battery door to use wireless charging (currently using the one that came out of the box) if so, where would I be able to find one at? Thanks in advance!

Samsung is releasing a battery door that's compatible. They haven't set a release date for it yet though.

Don't need to get a new battery door. That new Samsung door will actually be larger than the current one. Some/many cases won't fit.
Get this instead - wireless receiver that fits inside the stock battery door:

I pre-ordered the one for the S4, after it was written up on Engadget. It hasn't been released yet, apparently, so I'm still waiting.
Here's the Engadget article. Some good things said about it in the comments:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/monster-watts-wiqiqi-slips-wireless-charging-into-samsung-galaxy/
The order site says that it will ship by May 31:
http://www.vivealive.net/WiQiQi-Samsung-S4-Wireless-Charger-Set-WQS4.htm
Well, I just bought it. Will review it when I receive it on the 31st.
I just went ahead and bought a $10 s3 qi receiver, hoping it will work but if not it isn't too much money down the drain. Will let you guys know how it works

Samsung is terrible with the S4 accessories.. they release a new battery cover just to enable wireless charging.. ok fine.. but they release a stupid 70bux transparent flip cover that doesn't support wireless charging.. so basically i can never get wireless charging if i ever want to use their oem products or i need a special case if i want to use their oem wireless charging cover and fit?? real smart thinking.. guess i'll give this kit a try too
I thought it was the battery it self that has a coil in it for the NFC and that was for charging?
if not I have my palm pre still that has that wireless charging - could I take that battery cover apart and take that coil out and just attach it to the inside of the phone
I dont see anywhere where a battery cover with this built in will connect inside like it does on the palm pre, there arent any contacts that I can see that will go to the battery charting how would this work

Are you sure you are looking at a GS4?
There are 4 contacts. 2 to the left and 2 to the right of the flash. I think the left ones are for charging. I am basically ready to do what you said but need to figure out the polarity of these contacts.
There are other related threads but no responses yet...

To the guy worrying about the flip cover - there are tons of wireless charging inserts on eBay. You don't need the Samsung back, just get one of those things and stick it under the cover.
Cheers.

I'm using S3 kit and my friend is using notes2 kit from them, (receiver and charging pad) and have just ordered this receiver to use in S4
You can put a wireless charging receiver card inside your S4. Now it is a very pop way to charge your phone. If you need any technical help, please PM me.

I'm hoping yours worked. I've had a qi receiver in my S3 for about 6 months now. I pulled it out to see if it would work in my S4 and it doesn't quite fit. The pad would fit, but it lays over the sim card and mSdcard, which probably wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is the two small brass contacts don't quite fit in the square charging holes on the s4, they're probably 0.25mm too large and slightly to far apart for the S4.
My S3 pad is about 6 months old though, so hopefully the newer s3 pads have been modified to work with both phones.
I love wireless charging though and just went ahead and ordered a qi pad for my s4 from the fastech link earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately, the S3 Receiver was too bulky and wouldn't allow the door to shut.

Does the part you place in the phone get hot? Causing NFC or other issues?
Hi just wondering if any of you guys are lucky enough to have the phone and also a iRing or equivalent on the back of phone? Does wireless charging still works normally especially with the Samsung fast wireless charging stand?

I doubt it'll work. I have a metal disc in my case for a car mount, and it covers the 'sweetspot' for the charger . I also think it will be too far from the charger base.

I cut 4 thin steel sheets and placed them around the sweet spot.
I then modded my choetech wireless charger and added Magnets around the charging spot.
The phone sticks to the wireless charger really well. Doesn't fall off while I'm driving.
Spigen just confirmed with me that their version won't work with wireless charging
