I checked a 7 inch version in a local shop and Skype and Voip work fine, probably they will work on 10.1 too

Skype works fine on my 5113, however I know there are ppl having problems with hdmi out. Haven't tried personally
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium

TV-out works fine (what do I need to make it working? for Note I need hdmi+converter+charger)
You can buy the Dock for the Tab 2 7.0 it has integrated HDMI, Dock and 3,5mm Audio. Problem is, that you have to put the holder off it and put the holder of the 10.1 dock on it to fit (So you have to buy both docks and use the core dock of 7.0 and holder of 10.1 ). The original Dock of the 10.1 doesn't support HDMI.
Skype should work also.
Only Tablet-Optimized apps and the most standard-apps will work. I got 180 Apps on my S2 and 170 on my P-5100... All the same.

BT mouse works
I successfully use my bluetooth mouse over SGS, don't have any wireless keyboard so i can't help you; anyway wiimote officially does not work with samsung phones and so any other wii controller; it's something related to samsung touchwiz i think but not sure.
Cheers
Which mouse you are using?
Try looking in the accessories thread, there is one there that I started that is quite long and has lots of bluetooth keyboards that are confirmed working (I stopped updating the first post a while back, so there are some more not included in that post further into the thread).
Wee example to show it working:

I have a logitech v470. Tried adding it to my phone and it worked flawlessly. Phone immediately connected and suddenly I have a mouse cursor on the screen.
I can't really see the use for it, but it's kind of cool.

[Galaxt Tab 2] problem with bluetooth

Hi to all,
I have got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and I try to connect to a bluetooth barcode reader.
Pairing works, but when I use the proprietary APP that manage barcode reader,
it asks me again (and continuously) pairing PIN, without connect!!
Proprietary APP is compatible with Android 2.2 and newer, and support the SPP (Serial Port) Bluetooth profile.
I found on Internet that some people have problems to connect a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 to another device that uses
SPP profile....
Anyone know if there is a bluetooth issue in this tablet?
NOTE: I tried to connect barcode reader whith a Sony tablet S.....works correctly!!!!
Thanks!

We had the same problem and we solved it switching to insecure sockets to connect to the bluetooth devices.
I have the same problem with my bluetooth keyboard. Works fine on an Ipad though..
Have the same problem with a hp mobil printer via bt.
Works on s3 phone.
Samsung suport says its a diffrent bt chip in it. Print app dev working on debuging itnthey say.
Hi, on which model of Samsung Galaxy tab you tested? Have you come up with any solution for supporting Bluetooth SPP on Samsung Galaxy tab 2?

Interesting. When i asked samsung support they said it had a different chip then the s3 phone, and that try a different software. (I had problem with printer)
Might have to try cm on 1 of our tab and see if it i can get my equipment to work.

Did you ever get this figured out? If so could you tell me what had to be done. I bought hubby both the GT-p3113 (refurbished) and Bluetooth Keyboard and Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus P6200/P3100 They are not pairing and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
As you probably have guessed this will be our first use of bluetooth with anything. Nope don't even have cell phones with a bluetooth headset.
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] S4 Duo I9502 HDMI Problem

Hi,
Im hoping someone may be able to help. I've had an s3, s4, s4 lte and now the dual sim s4. Its a great phone however I cant seem to get the hdmi out working, this is important for me as I run an app radio in my car, so use my s4 for everything from music to sat nav etc.
With my mhl adaptor from my s3, from my S4 and a new s4 mhl 2 adaptor. Each does the same thing. If the connector is only pushed in partially (presumably so the first row of contacts meet) then it charges only. If its pushed in further then it does nothing, no charge and no hdmi.
Has anybody got the hdmi working on a dual sim s4?
Cheers Gav
Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same problem with my s4 i9502, no HDMI out on the Smartdock EDD-S20.
Maybye I will try with a stock ROM (Android 4.3 ?).
If anybody has ever succed to activate the MHL video on this phone, please advice !
I will also try with the samsung wireless HDMI receiver, hope it will work.
Regards
Hello,
What I have understood from the Chinese forums (Google translation...) is that it is a software / firmware limitation
The workaround that I have found (works on my i9502) is to use the samsung allshare cast dongle (HDMI wireless transceiver).
But it works only thanks to the modification of a lib (see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45605884, personnaly I used root browser app to do it).
It seems that flashing a stock Rom for a i9500 is possible (even if you lose the dual-sim function..) so this could enable the MHL function.
I do hope that one day someone will find the trick to make HDMI out works one the i9502.
Regards

[Q] USB dongle support? Voice Calling with USB Dongle?

Hi people
So I bought the tegra note 7 recently, before discovering that a 4G LTE version was on the way. So I wanted to know if there was any way to make voice calls with this tablet using an external USB dongle and my sim. My USB OTG cable is in transit as of now so I'm not sure even if the tablet supports external dongles.
Any and all help is appreciated.
P.S. this is my first thread post here. (and I'm not very smart with such stuff)
Plz help.

The Note certainly has a microphone because there is a built in voice recorder. You can't see the voice recorder in the app tray, but it's on the tablet (I stumbled upon it after I installed Nova Launcher then was looking at what shortcuts/actions I could assign to the dock).
As for using a USB dongle with OTG, I haven't tried it because I have a MiFi. Perhaps someone else can chip in...
C'mon guys...help a newbie
M prepared to compromise now... ..i think 'tablet talk' will suit me and sync and transfer all my calls and texts from me cell to tab over wifi direct or bluetooth but if some one could suggest a free alternative for it?
i need something to transfer all my calls and texts to my tab and vice versa...possibly over bluetooth.

Wireless Dex UI

It will be awesome if someone can mod Samsung Note 9 to display Dex UI wirelessly (i.e. using wifi mirroring technology).
Personally, I'm against it because the lag will just ruin the experience... But, well, experiencing it myself can change my opinion
Um OK.

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter (Miracast) that I use with my Surface Pro 3. I also occasionally use it with the Note 8, mostly for watching videos. The experience has been great and the lags are infrequent. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
I think it will indeed be cool if Dex can be done via Miracast. I use couple of Dex apps (Dex Max and Desktop Hub) and it will be interesting to find out what their developers think. Maybe it will be possible to add a toggle to the apps that trigger Dex mode instead of screen mirroring when the phone is connected via Miracast...
Great idea
I guess Samsung heard you. Read this article ->
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/02/samsung-working-wireless-dex-connection-upcoming-devices/
Awesome! After 2 years, my post now became a reality with the recently announced Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
Wondering now if this feature can be brought to our old note 9/note 10 via software update or does this require a specific hardware?
What you think guys?
Would be very happy if it's a software thing and they give it to us with the OneUI 2.5 update (if we even get that first xd).

GOOD NEWS !!!
Well I don't how and when it came to our Galaxy Note 9 but the Wireless DEX function is indeed there !
I was just testing the mirroring function with my Galaxy Note 9 and a Amazon FireStick (should work the same with a Google Chromecast) connected onto a 24" monitor via Smart View, then by chance at the end I just pressed the Dex icon and the Dex desktop display just appeared on the monitor !!!
I still have a message telling the "connected TV" is not fully optimized for wireless Dex but it's still working.
Then, There is a second message saying we can use the Note 9 as a touchpad and it works !
I don't have a USB-C hub with me but I guess we could use a mouse and a keyboard as well...

Don't remember when it came either, but I've been using it flawlessly on my roku tv for streaming from sites. Still get hiccups with it occasionally after a period of time though. Reconnecting usually seems to fix them it seems.
