Alternative HMDI Cable? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says. Are there any alternatives to the slimport hdmi that runs on the nexus. £24 is quite expensive for what it is.
And has any one heard of a cheaper chinese version coming out?

somebody posted an amazon £4 discount code (until end of month) in the big slimport thread, if that's any help. too late for me as i'd already bought one!

£4 you say. Might be tempted by that, but £18 is still expensive :/. Anyone want to buy ps3 fifa coins haha

The code is REDDITSP.
Slimport is still relatively new so quite expensive. Cheaper adapters will likely apart in the coming months

You can get one for £17 (free shipping) here:

Wouldn't bet on the quality, though.

Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.
Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions
mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome
Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy
Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol
Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?
Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)
hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.
handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon
Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...
my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

thats how much they cost off contract- $499. To get it in the bundle (Phone + Laptop dock) for $500, you have to sign a 2 year contract with the tethering plan, no one will do that!
ATT sells the phones off contract for $399 plus a $100 mail in rebate = $299.

This is the price for the phone, not for the dock. If the dock was cheap or came with the phone, you would see them for sale everywhere. But as it stands there are only 2 ways to get the dock
1. Pay full price
2. Get a tethering plan and get dock at reduced price.
If someone gets the dock with the tether plan and doesn't like the dock, maybe they will sell it cheaper. But if they can sell it on eBay for full price - why sell it cheaper.
You are a bit misguided on how the pricing works here.
Best Buy website has dock listed at $399. Only available in store, so it won't help OP, but maybe someone else who wants one can find one in store.

I believe he's thinking about a link originally posted in the accessories forum, although I do believe one also must purchase a phone to get this price.

Also Best Buy is selling them for $399, but they are "not available for shipping".

Have a spare, sent mine back twice and got a charger each time.

Go buy a charging dock from Verizon. It includes a standard charger and they are on clearance right now for $9.97. Even if you don't use the dock it'd chapter than just buying the charger which for some reason is still $30. I also heard Staples had Xoom accessories on sale for super cheap.

I have one but it probably wouldn't be worth it to you by the time shipping costs are included. As stated, just go to a Verizon store and get one for 10 bucks.

Got one from the vzn store!! Thanks man. Dock for $15 and leather folio case for the same price
Sent from my iPhone 4s using Tapatalk
I know the OP was able to grab what they needed from Verizon, but for others who may be looking, another option is the HD Speaker Dock. If you can FIND one, they're going for $20 new from Verizon as clearance (prolly to make room for the Xyboard accessories). I went in person to a VW store and lucked out, getting the last one they had. I don't think (not willing to try it) you can plug the more powerful power source straight into the Xoom itself as an alternative to using the dock, but I have to say having the HDMI port in the back of the dock and the speakers is pretty nice, at $20 a pop.
I picked up a couple at a local Staples for $1.50 each. I have one extra I don't really see using.
If you're local in central CT I'd happy to give it away to someone who would use it.

Buying in USA or waiting in Canada

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!

I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.
Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

I sold mine for about 115 dollars and bought imito qx1 android mini pc TV dongle and I am amazed. This thing is just amazing. Does its job, is equipped with almost AOSP android and supports custom rom with 1080p kernel which works great with my TV. It also gives access to Google play and all the apps and games. This TV dongle cost 69 USD. Best decision ever.

Actually, I'm looking to sell mine too. It's got a 2nd controller ( never used, I actually even forgot I got it because it arrived so late ) mostly because I just never use it.
