Hey guys,
Basically I'm currently reviewing the Smart Dock and was wondering if anyone else has one and a Galaxy S4.
I have connected the S4 to the Smart Dock but for some reason it only comes out at 720p max on a monitor and a TV. I tried two other TV's and it doesn't even show up on them.
I'm not sure if it is an issue with me device or compatibility with my S4 and the Smart Dock. I have tested the Smart Dock with an S3 and it displays at 1080p on any TV I connect it too.
So if anyone else has the Dock and S4, can they tell me if it is outputting correctly!
I'll try it on my wife's s4 when she gets home and report back. Barely had a chance to mess with it. Had it for just a few days and I've only ever used it to mirror my Note 2. Haven't even thought of plugging hers in yet.
Aside from charging really fast, I'm pretty disappointed in it so far. The streaming quality is pretty dismal and it's kind of a pain to scroll when you have to force landscape and look at it sideways. I'm gonna hook up a wireless mouse when I get a chance and see if it makes it easier.

Cheers, I really appreciate it. I have noticed that the S4 does seem to have some more tricks. For instance, it will turn off the device display if it detects a mouse is connected to the dock and I have notice it auto rotate itself when docked, however this was with apex launcher, so not sure if touchwiz does as well, but still it was a plus, but something ultimate rotate set to landscape when docked is just as handy.
Anyway, thanks again for the help, let me know how you get on.
1080 here brotha. Actually works better then my Note 2. Sad considering the dock is made for the note.
Edit running stock, unroooted rom and works in 1080 on both my Samsung smart tvs. Haven't tried on a comp yet. Let me know if there's anything particular you want me to test out bro.

I received my smart dock today (EDD S20EWEG) but when i insert my S4 (9505) into it, nothing happens, Do i need to enable "dock mode" or is it supposed to be automatic(plug and play)? I tempted to return it for a replacemeent , but if i'm doing something wrong it would be great to know before i get a replacement only to find out that the issue is the same
Edit: removing the battery helped
hi
Hello, I have a problem when connecting a peripheral (mouse, keyboard, etc) the screen automatically flips and turns black, saying, which it is connected by hdmi too. that's not right.
otherwise it has explain, does not leave me connect the mouse and keyboard, because the s4 assumed that this also connected the hdmi.
So, my grandparents bought me this cheap smart watch (I liked the look of it and it wasn't expensive so they got it for me as a present) but it's honestly a little slow, in terms of OS and stuff. I can't even keep the screen on to look at my watch face, they're not customisable etc.
Is there anything i can do for it? Like, mod it or port Android Wear OS on it? Anything to make it better? It's just pretty meh right now but I do like it.
Since i'm new here, i can't post a link! but here's the name from amazon.co.uk
LEMFO® S19 Bluetooth Smart Watch Phone 1.54" Touch Screen GSM Support SIM TF Camera Smartwatch for Android Cell Phone Sync SMS Phone Book Call History APP Notification (Blue)
Hello.
I have a galaxy s5 with water damage, the screen doesnt work at all, its completly black no sign of at least a blinking once in a while on the screen, but the phone Works normally, when i turn it on u can hear the sound and vibration, also i tested with sim card and i can even receive calls, so everything is working as it should except the screen.
My question is, if i buy an lcd screen+digitizer to replace the current faulty one, will this work?I try to be sure if this will work cuz i dont want to spend on buying a new lcd screen and then see that this didnt worked.
I have already opened the phone to check the current's lcd status, which is kinda really bad from the water dmg, but the rest looks ok.
Any Info on this would be really helpful
Try Vysor it's a Chrome extension to handle your phone in your pc.
Since you are able to watch your phone screen on your pc that should give an idea about the damage and if it's worth fixing or not.
What happen anyway? I just recently bought S5 coz of water resistant feature.
You could try diagnostic software, or have in-built Samsung *#0*# to assest your hardware, but you need to connect and mirror your S5 to TV or by other means for you to see your S5 display.

Thx for your asnwer on this, unfortunalety this extension requires USB debugging enabled, which i dont have it enabled. Honestly i didnt knew about this extension so thank you for sharing this.
The phone just dropped into the water and stayed for 1-2 seconds before i took it out right away, but as many others got confused about this, there is a difference between water resistant and water proof, its a big mislead from samsung advertising this phone as "its able to stay in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes". thats what confused many and they damaged their phones. On my part i didnt wanted to test it at all, it was an accident :/. But seems i might be able to make it work again with a NEW lcd, i just wanted to be sure before buying the lcd.
I was swimming with my phone, taking pictures underwater during summer and it's still fine today. And there's whole bunch of videos on YouTube prooving that as well.
Try to send it to repair if you still got warranty.
:angel: Ok, I call on the noble people of the xda not for myself but for my mother today.
Shes getting up there in age and has a trouble moving and some slightly blury vision. Currently shes on a walker and me or a neighbor checks in with her once a day but shes stubborn and cant afford to pay the fees for a life alert pendant.
She has a nice lg smart phone that is always charged. I purchased one of the knock gt80 mtk made apple watch clones thinking i would pair it, then put some emergency contacts on the screen and boom problem solved.
Long story short os was impossible to reskin into the large bright tiles i was thinking of (windows mobile os) Still I think it holds weight.
Gang, I spoil her dearly with tech and tech support but im at a loss on this one. We have a total budget of 60 dollars out of pocket to make this happen within the next week as I will be leaving for a work seminar.
Heres what I am thinking. I need any and all of your suggestions and ideas to help make this happen. I am not afraid of moding / roming / iv even bricked my fair share of devices. We just need to get this done and on budget.
Be able to push or tap and instantly call 4 seperate contacts in one motion. she taps my name it calls me and she can talk to me through the device. She can call my friend, her neighbor, or 911 in an easy motion.
an alarm / reminder tied to the calendar would be great for her medicines.
water resistance would be a plus but im being realistic here.
bluetooth for easy interface with her android smart phone.
if any way possible the ability for her to use "ok google" for voice commands, set reminders etc.
if anyone knows a existing device i can modify to behave this way at the price point that is amazing.
If I have missed something and theres a device like this and I havent found it eshoping please tell me.
please all ideas are welcome. Thank you and I will be check and answering any questions comments to this thread daily.

I searched for a sports smart watch and read about a one button sos function on the aiwatch C5 - they go for $ 62 at gearbest.com atm... Perhaps that ones for you? Even got Pulse meter
Hello. I want to start off and say that even tho i used a lot of phones Samsung fits me bets. With that in mind i want to tell the story of my broken s4 i9505. I bought it new and used it about 2 years until i got and iphone 5s. The phone remaind in a drawer with the intention of selling some time but forgot about it, then i used the phone once a week or so paired with moto 360 because iphone could not connect and used the watch only for time .(bluetooth worked fine remember this). Anyway i decided to sell it and i had all my apps and accounts in there so i thought the fastest way was to factory reset it and make it fresh so i can sell it (rom was not stock at the moment, i have no ideea what rom it was). I sold it to a friend that told me he wanted to pair something with it thru bluetooth and bluetooth didnt work...i sayd that it wasnt possible because all i did was a factory reset and that couldn't damage anything. Things got worse as the phone was charging very very slow and if it got over 90% baterry would not respond to anything (red led at 90% and got to green when full but still no response from phone) and the only thing to do is to remove battery. Then i took the phone back, got it a new battery but that didn't changed anything, took it to some repairs shops that didn't ever hear about this problem, i had it chance the software but that didn't do anything. The problem i suspect it is and i saw a few other posts online was the bluetooth module would stop working for some reason and do this to the phone. Currently i don't know what to do with it and i don't want to sell it just for part for 50 euros or so. Also i read that the bluetooth module can't really be changed as a spare part because it's part of the motherboard and that means almost all the phone. Phone is in mint condition, i didn't damage it before the sell , the buyer didn't damage it or messed with the rom...Another thing i noticed is that in settings under bluetooth address says unavailable. Can someone please help me ? I can provide more information about serials and stuff if needed. Also wi-fi doesn't work now.
Mine also show unavailable under Bluetooth address, but it works.
Are you currently on the stock rom?
Yes is stock. Android version 5.0.1 I9505XXUHOJ2. If i toggle bluetooth on says starting bluetooth then after 5 seconds it disables. I guess the problem is from hardware not software. So fast battery drain is not normal something is using a lot of energy.
As far as I know, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are in the same physical chip, therefore something might be physically broken. Here's a clip I came across while trying to fix my phone's Wi-Fi and I think it's exactly what might fix yours. (Should be very cheap to do too.) I think basically what he's doing is putting some flux on the board then reflowing it with the hot air gun.
Before taking that step, be sure to exhaust the possible software fixes. I'm not sure, but updating the bootloader and modem MIGHT fix it.
My wi-fi started working again it just took a while but the bluetooth does exactly the same as in the clip so maybe that's the problem. I don't understand why does so glue over it make it work...also for me it's hard to turn the phone off because the screen goes black but the blue led still stays on and the only way to turn it off completly is to take out battery. Maybe this will solve the battery problem aswell ?
