This stupid dock has been perpetually out of stock since I got my Note 2. It would play peek a boo with us for usually 12 hours at a time before going out of stock again. Well, for those of you who want one, now's your chance to get one at half off.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
This is YMMV, so take it for what it's worth. I had no trouble placing the order, and was off the phone inside of five minutes.
All you need to do is call Samsung's order hotline and place an order for the Smart dock. Tell the rep that you had been e-mailed a 50% off code last year when you registered your phone with Samsung, but the dock has been mostly out of stock since you got the code. The code is now expired, and you were told someone could reissue a new code to you when it was back in stock again.
The number is 1-800-757-0280.
The representative did not issue me a new code, but instead simply took 50% off of my order over the phone with no questions asked. She simply said, "Ok, that's fine. I'll just need your credit card and billing address, and it'll be $49.99 plus tax with free shipping."
Note that this dock also works with the Galaxy S4 as well.
If they ask you for your old code for some reason, just hang up and try again, or post in here, and I'll give you my old, expired code to use.
Receipt added to attachments.
Your Code
Could you PM me your code? The rep wanted it in order to generate a new one. Thanks

It would be easier to just call back and try to get a new person. Here's a 50% off code that was found in a Google search. rE169748w
Normally, they will just have you place the order over the phone, instead of issuing a new code.
it worked!!! i ordered mine today!!!
soo happy, thanks OP! mad thanks!!!

Any reason this wouldn't work for the GS3 (current work phone). Also, I've heard that this only outputs to portrait mode--any recommendations on apps to force landscape mode--I see quite a few on the play market.
Thanks

You could try auto-rotate switch in the market. The dock is listed as being compatible with the Note 2 and S4.

If you want a technical reason for it, ask Samsung. All I can tell you is that their website lists only those two devices as compatible.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...I just assumed with the wealth of knowledge on this forum, someone here might know the technical reasons why this would/wouldn't work w/ the GS3, as I'm much more likely to get a quick answer here vs asking a random email at Samsung.

Their staff is actually pretty knowledgeable if you call them up. Just ask for tech support or something. I know the S3 has MHL support, but I'm not familiar with the USB pinouts, which may be different than the Note 2. Quickest answer is going to be a short call to Samsung.

I mostly just use it as a desk charger. It does make it easy to connect a USB drive though. I have a BT keyboard and a USB mouse connected to it.
Awesome! Worked perfectly for me. Was off the phone in under 5 minutes.

I say "almost" because they don't ship to canada.
I'll try canada now... see how it goes.

saw this yesterday and got on it tried several times and no one will do it :'(
they all give same reason that 50% off is for 50$ or less items..
if any one gets lucky buy two and sell me one please

Yes i'm giving away my old Universal.
i'll even help with shipping
i've upgraded to the TOUCH HD, and want to leave my Uni to someone that could benefit.
the way i figure it, i've loved it since i had 3 years ago and if it wasn't for the hard work of the cookers who cracked the updates and even WinMo6, i would have been a lot less happy.
they're very responsible for a lot of the productivity and fun i've had along the way, which i've payed forward. now this is a little direct payback .
The forum members have been great support too, and this community has been a constant source that fuels the evolution of our Uni's.
Included is :
1) HTC Universal G3 (very good condition)
2) 2gb SD card
3) USB to Mini-USB (for data and charging)
4) Tomal's 8.2 ROM (excellent)
5) 2 stylus' (replacement for the original i wore out!)
6) replacement battery (bought 2008, 1600MaH. original wore out)
*pics upon request*
I'd like it to go to one of the cookers that may need an new/extra Uni for testing, so that it can help with their efforts in supporting the rest of the Uni lovers here.
if there are no takers from any of the cookers, i will happily leave it to anyone else that wants it
now, how do you get it? simple.
for ONE WEEK i invite any cookers to PM me or post here their interest here in a free Uni.
if no cookers want it, then i'll accept interest from anyone else that cares to have ask for it.
p.s.
my partner upgraded to a Samsung Omnia, if anyone wants a free Nokia 7710 give me a prod
I'll take both, cover shipping, and give you something for your troubles if you u have them.
-Mc
I am very interested!
Hope you consider this request
%Thanks in advance
some people already PM'ing and posting here.
i'll keep the option open for a single week to let more prospective people get a chance as i want the devices to go to the best person for the greater good.
all people responding are automatically "on the list" to be chosen.
happy bidding (wait, wrong website)
greeting from hong kong
looking for replacement for my uni. my uni RIP need to rewrite boot loader
first i have to say that you must be the kindest soul in the human race to want to give your handsets FOR FREE and not sell them on ebay..
and second becouse i loved it,becouse i admired it and becouse i cant live without a touch screen and i want it like mad.. PLEASE SEND ME THE NOKIA
cheers.
ps
i live in london
well i believe the small amount of money i could sell it for on Ebay (a few hundred dollars AU) and how i could invest that much money, compared to some that can actually use a free device for the greater good is no comparison for me.
there's an Ebay sale HERE where the person has a great offer for a complete Uni with accessories, for a reasonable price.
seriously the value of a few hundred bucks means little to me compared to the value of the device in the best hands.
think of it like:
*giving $300 to a starving stranded man on an island.....or giving him a $50 picnic hamper.
*or, a wealthy person giving $10 to someone in need, compared to a poor person giving $10 to someone even more in need.
there are many energy forms of value, depends who you're relating to and how. that much money in my life isn't worth much, those devices in other lives could mean a lot.
So there's no loss for me, i've already gained enormously from the device and i already have a replacement. i have an efficient upgrade.
someone can benefit a free device/s and gain enormously. an efficient upgrade too.
just sharing the energy

Put it in bootloader mode. You can see small note at the bottom of the screen, if it starts from 1, then its G3. If it starts from 2, then its G4.

Hi
Any news on the winner?
Please let me be me to win the nokia
I have recently upgraded both my wife and my phones to Incredibles. I wanted to post here to see if anyone is interested in the two Verizon 6900s we are no longer using. I wanted to offer them here before they hit FleaBay. Both are in excellent condition, had soft silicone cases and screen protectors their entire life. Both have single very small cracks in the white plastic around the screen. I can take pics if you want. Both are in excellent working condition and have clean ESNs.
I have plenty of cables (including audio) and car chargers with both, etc...
I was running Fresh Froyo on them both until the upgrade.
Hit me up if anyone has any interest in them, if not FleaBay it is....
How much are you willing to sell them for?
Before you give them out to just anyone...

One thing, do kernels affect the screen calibration?? if it does, i would strongly urge you to get one. if it doesn't, thats fine, but the camera does need some work. however, it wouldn't work because it is cdma and there is no sim card slot.

We all move on to new phones eventually. The vogue used to be the best supported of the group, thanks to dzo, but since he moved on I don't know of any developers who have vogues.
I don't think I'm a good choice, since I haven't contributed much except lots of posts. And I have already benefited from the generosity of loserskater, who gave me his old kaiser when my old one's SD reader stopped working.
You really want somebody who has Verizon service so they can work on geolocation using cell towers. I have AT&T, and won't be willing to buy Verizon service just to test Android. And since the Vogue lacks wifi, that means I won't be able to test data at all. I mean, I'd take a phone, pay the shipping, and do rudimentary testing, but I would instead advise selling it on flea-bay.
@OP,
If you are going to sell them, your market value for a Vogue is roughly $80 if it is in good shape (the case of the member who got it for $10 is a little extreme tbh)
I'd like one - and the guy who's writing Host could probably do with one.
what works for you?

This is weird, I'm trying to think what has changed with regards to the SD mounting between RLS5 and RLS4, i don't remember changing anything to be honest. I could really do with getting hold of a vogue to test. If anyone finds a solution let me know, until then i'll keep racking my brains!

This is from the Scoot Cyanogen Mod. A very recent post. Please seng him one!!
I'll notify him by PM to contact you.
So I just realized today, whenever i first got my phone (i think its been 1 week or 2 now), one of the first things i opened was tmobile tv, i remember it saying something about 30 day free trial, I was wondering will it charge me after 30 days? If so, how do i cancel it?
This is an exceptionally good question. I haven't accepted their trial yet because I planned to wait to start until I had time to play with it. That said, I figured I'd look up the answer for you so I could post a good natured poke of "Google is your friend". Turns out Google doesn't know either and by now I'm seriously questioning if TMOB knows!
I found 4 artiicals on TMO News that were almost completely content free, so much for truth in naming. I did find a reference that the new win-7 abomination will have free tv. Seems if anyone would pay for TV people stupid enough to buy win-7 would be the ones. Still that may imply MT4G will be free as well. Of course that begs the question exactly what is it a trial of.
By this time I was fairly obsessed and checked my account. According to TMOB the only upgrade they are currently dangling is the caller tunes thing. IMO this is just about the only thing you can do with a phone that is more annoying than RING-RING. But I suppose some people like it.
My several years old opinion of cellco tv service is that it compares very poorly to just about any other form of video consumption available. Of course that was Sprint and they compare very unfavorably to just about everything. So, maybe things are different, but until I see it I remain skeptical.
So ultimately I am unable to answer your question. Might be time to just call and ask them. But where's the fun in that?!
When you open the tmobile tv app it pops up a message stating how many days you have left on your trial. Just go into the help, subscriptions, and unsubscribe. Simple as that. I just did that last night.

Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.

I know Benchmarks don't say much but how does the device compare to let's say a note 3 (which I got now) and what does emui 3.0 feel like? Is it just like MIUI or looks like that but the experience is different? Just asking becouse miui is very fluent in usage. Thanks in advance.

* How does it feel? Does it feel natural at 6.1" in your hands?
* is it heavy? How does it compare to the Note 3 or other comparably-sized device?
* Does it fit in your pocket easily enough?
* Does it work well-enough with EMUI 3.0 with one-handed operations?
* I know you only just got it, but could you report back in a few days after continuous use about how the battery fares?
* Are you going to try it with a few games to see how the processor performs?
* Did you do any download/upload speed tests?
* Where are you located and were you able to activate it with no issues on your network?
* Was the device difficult to set up?
* How is the charging? Does it take a long time? This is something that hopefully you'll report back about in a few days after charging the device a few times.
In terms of your Google contacts sync issue, what exactly is the issue? You need to give more information about what is "not working" before we can offer some help. The first suggestion I'd have is to delete the google account you created on the device and recreate it.

Hey guys I just got one yesterday. Pretty satisfy so far. This phone is FAST!
One issue though, I cannot get Google contact to sync. Anyone can give me some pointers?
If you have any questions about this phone, please let me know and I will try to answer them for you

For the google sync, try go to Huawei's app market and download the google apps and you are good to go

* I know you only just got it, but could you report back in a few days after continuous use about how the battery fares?
* Are you going to try it with a few games to see how the processor performs?

I used OPPO N1 and Note3 last year, the weight is note3< mate7<N1, it's not bad. But holding it while laying face up is kinda hard xD hands get shot easily.
Yeah it fit my Levi's pocket pretty good.
One hand operation is okay in EMUI, if you have the xposed mod fly android installed it will be way better.
Games work fine as the GPU is pretty mainstream.
The phone I got is the CMCC version. Only works on TD LTE network in China but can be used on FDD LTE or any other 3G/4G in other country. I think if I can flash the China Unicom version's modem it could work on FDD in China to as the hardware support it. I'm planning using it in Canada on Bell. Will test it out on 22nd when I get back.
Set up? What you mean by set up?
Charging takes around 3 hours from nearly dead battery (10%-ish) to 100%. With my four ports universal charger it takes longer, maybe 5 hours but I'm not sure cuz I was sleeping

And the phone feels good, really good in hands. It feels very solid and slate. And didn't feel too huge like the OPPO N1 which is also 6 inch.
Haha thx freefrank for answering them for me. The phone itself is pretty light, feels much lighter than the Mate 2.
Well under my Google account, I see sync for everything, such as app data, calendar, email and even people. But I don't see contact there. I tried to look into the Huawei store but no luck. Freefrank are you able to get contact sync? if so did you need to do anything special? Please let me know. Is there a googlecontactsync.apk I need to install?
Is there a built-in contacts app that would work? Can you use one that comes with the device to sync your google contacts?

I am going to China next month and would like to pick this up. So the CMCC version is the one I should get if I want to use with US At&t? Does CMCC offer the white color? And is it unlocked? Thanks.

I found a Chinese retailer that ships to the US, the price including shipping using DHL wasn't actually bad, total shipping time was 3-5 days. Actual "wait" time was 45 days. I'm guessing they're taking pre-orders.
From everything I've read so far, this isn't due to be released until Q3 which is the only date I've seen from a lot of the press and Huawei. Does anyone have when these will be sold or at least available to be sold?
I think I'll wait until January to see if I can get a device for myself. By then software and hardware and possibly sourcing issues should be a little better.

Are you sure? All the reviews I've been reading say that the gold version is for the 32Gb version only and that the 16 comes in multiple colors. I'm not doubting you, but the Chinese retailer was only offering the gold in 32Gb. Maybe that was why it was delayed 45 days?

The only color available for the 32GB model is gold, while the 16 GB model comes in black or silver. I must add that it is in VERY limited supply right now, even the official stores don't have any yet until October at the earliest. For those that do have then in stock, only the 32GB version seems to be in stock.
When I was there I saw 4 people bought one while I was testing my unit, and before I left the store they already out of stock and had to turn people away.

I sent you a PM but maybe you didn't see it. If you're willing, would you be able to pick up more than one? i'd pay you for the unit.

I don't have any PM in my inbox, May be I am not senior enough to receive them? I would be more than happy to pick up a couple of units for you. Let me know how you would like to arrange this. Keep in mind they are in VERY tight supply so I am not sure I can find them at the moment.......
