Advertised with these features and accessories, and yet now all evidence of them has been scrubbed from Samsung's web-sites. Even the Flash animation on the main Galaxy page has had a photograph of a woman placed over the point where the home dock used to be.
Pros & Cons... These are the cons.

Indeed, I wanted the dock, I wanted the remote, etc.
If they really don't want my money then they shouldn't have made the phone.

Alarm clock works for me.

Really? because mine has no fade in, or clock home screen. It only comes on as the alarm goes off.

saw that on another forum - that is a little "unusual" - suppose this might be an interesting news tip for engadget to run a blurb on

wow they really changed the flash animation and got rid of the dock!
had to see it myself to believe this..

they also removed the scene where the guy was sitting on the couch using his galaxy like a TV remote
makes you question a lot about what in the world is going on

it is just a Software feature.
my old Treo phones were able to remote control the TV via infrared
but the Windows Mobile couldn't do it, due the missing infra on the device.
SGS i9000 doesn't have an infrared AFAIK, so that ADvertizement might have been created before the final spec of the phone were engraved in stone, probably at one point they might have had infrared as part of the device spec.
HOWEVER!!! if that is a Windows based TV, then they can easily use bluetooth to control Windows Media Center, like many of my logitech remote controls at home

The alarm clock/smart alarm works splendid for me.
And yeah, they've removed the docking from the flash animation, but the remote is there still...
I really wanted that desk dock
@AllGamer: The phone is supposed to use DLNA (over wifi) to communicate with the television.

then the TV will need to be one of the newer types of TV that has that feature build in, else it's not gonna work / be compatible with older TVs

samsung has added some galaxy / vibrant accessories page
and interestingly, that media dock missing from the video is not there, but this one is - appears to be similiar, without speaker, but they're calling it a multi-media dock
not sure how, as it doesn't appear to connect to your computer - they describe you "use your travel / wall charger to charge your phone"
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=

Looks like the original dock but without the speakers. And even this is a bit mean since they dont provide and additional power connector, you have to use the one that came with the phone.
Not sure how it can be a multi-media dock though.

It' just software. The remote doesn't use infrared. It uses a proprietary technology that only works on Samsung TVs sold from 2010 on.
The Alarm clock works.
The dock isn't out, but then again, neither was the Nexus One's when the N1 came out. That one took how long? Couple months?

'tv remote controller' Help

I have read some topics suggesting that the 'tv remote controller' programme works well with this device. I tried instaling it but couldnt get it to learn the controls from my tv remote. I selected the button i wanted it to learn and pushed the button on the remote as instructed (close to the infra red sensor) but it did not learn the control.
Does anyone know why this is????
The hardware isn't compatible with "normal" remote controls for your television etc.
It's only functional for IRDA datatransmition.
You need special hardware for this.
Cheers,
Drifter
I think the hardware is compatible with TVs, just not with the current remote control programs. I read on several of these program manufacturers websites that they are working on a proper driver for the wizards IR. Nothing available yet though. its also a low power IR, so you'd have to be within about 3 feet from the TV for it to work anyway.
why not use the remote that comes with your tv etc :lol:
I've only found the remote program useful when in school lessons, i used to keep turning the tvs on and off..and pause video tapes
what is the name of the software that shoud be compatible with Wizard ?
From what I understand the Remote control programs work however the Ir signal isn't strong enough to reach your TV unless you are right in front of it....
i found an application that claims to be compatable with many new devices..one of them being the phone i have cingular 8125.
here u go:

A LOT of great features are in P4350, required from customers: this is AKU. We have 2.3-2.6 and P4350 has 3.2 and the difference is like having XP service pack 1 or 2: try to restore winsock with service pack 1!
______________________________________________________________
from Wikipedia:
An Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) is a collection of updates, fixes and enhancements to the tools delivered to hardware device manufacturers to create or update devices based on a specific platform.
This term is used by Microsoft to designate the current update version for a particular embedded platform such as Windows Mobile which is used for Personal digital assistants and Smartphone devices. On the Windows Mobile platform the AKU is to Windows Mobile what a Service Pack is to Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft releases AKUs to allow device manufacturers with updates to create new products or fix issues with older products. These enhancements are usually not available to the consumer or end user unless released as a firmware update from the vendor.
_______________________________________________________________
That's will be the great crossbow power: WINDOWS UPDATE power.
Today from Phone manufatures point of view they have the AKU release from MS but they have money to earn with new devices and they don't really support old devices (eve 3-4 monts old!). Without real market competition the truth is: we paid the price of a laptop and we have a service of a radio player!
If you bought an ACER laptop 6 months ago and you still have No windows updates (and may be you never will have) this will be your last ACER! Today we are in the same condition
Sliding sound, contact via SMS, contacts and calls history search from home screen, a long list of feature unsupported in AKU 2 and released in 3 series...
I'm still hoping in some change of strategy from HTC, expecially for high-end phones, like our HERMES... but we have to make a loud noise to be heared!
I dont think this will work, from what HTC said about that keyboard it would seem that there is more interface between it and the o/s in the herald. the herald knows when its open and closed and is able to power the phone on. I believe there is a harware difference here.
the handset knows the keyboard is open as it flicks the screen round!

Nope. It's an hardware thing: there's a small magnet that makes the screen rotate.
It was actually the first thing I tried to emulate via software, when I got my TyTn back in September: it does work up to a point. Thing is that the sound only plays when the screen is FULLY rotated (as apposed when STARTING rotation), so it means that the keyboard is already open. It kinda defies the whole meaning, doesn'it? I plan to try it via some more low-level hacking in the near future, but I can make no promises: it's probably not possible.

What's the point of daydream?

When I'm charging or docked I want the phone to charge as fast as possible so I don't want the screen or anything on at all..even if its a minimal clock.
Likewise Google has disabled the LED when in daydream mode so apps like LiteFlow don't work.
I'm missing the point I guess. A computer with a screensaver is one thing..but a phone we're trying to squeeze battery life out of doesn't seem like something you'd want daydream on.
The only way this would make sense to me is if Android had an option to 'daydream once phone fully charged' and then it can display currents or a clock or something.
Thoughts? Am I missing something?
You got me. Screen saver for a phone... which I want off when I am not looking at it? Guess it is just one more bullet point on the feature list for the boys in marketing (like 1080p).

As with a lot of things, it's all about preferences.
It *IS* something I want; I like seeing the clock when my phone is on my desktop dock. I have all the time in the world to charge.
I do agree the "daydream once fully charged" option would be a nice addition.
Just another feature that isn't used but marketed to consumers. Kinda like face unlock or the front facing camera. Will people use it? Yeah. But the large community won't be.
I've had a front facing camera for along time now and have yet to use it. I played around with it and that was that. I'm not saying that it's an useless feature but it's mainly used to market. Same goes for face unlock

Update to the latest Google current and use the news magazine as your day dream inserted of clock and colors
It's amazing....

I had pics of my nieces... kinda nice to have on your desk. Although after a while it got a little distracting... and I felt a little bad about putting those pictures away to actually use the phone , so I removed the feature.
It might look nice in a docking station or the like...otherwise I don't really see a point.

Exactly. It's for when you put your N4 on the google charging Orb.... oh wait.
I disabled daydream on mine. Even when (if) the orb comes out, I doubt I would use it. There is a computer right where I would put it so it seems a bit redundant.
I could see it being used as a photo slide show though (as mentioned above)
:good:

Apologies... Guess I'm missing the point of your concerns. If you don't want daydream then turn it off. There's a on/off switch for it in the top of the setup for it.

using the tablet for whiteboard presentations

Was I mistaken in thinking this "Galaxy Note" would be a better digital whiteboarding tool than an iPad?
Is there any way to project a drawing/notetaking app to a computer? Why are there NO simple ways to mirror your screen to a PC or mac? Tried allcast, looked at Samsung mirroring, Mirrorop, but none of it seems to be as easy as it was on my iPad (airplay to an airplay receiver app on my computer).
The S-Pen/active digitizer works SO much better than the Adonit Jot Touch, but I'm extremely disappointed in the difficulty of getting the picture to a projector.
Hopefully one of you can enlighten me with sagely wisdom, or I'm going to have to <gasp> buy another iPad
Chromecast?

No, my name is Dominic
Yes, the chromecast allows you to project video, pictures, and music to an HDMI input that's on the same network as your tablet, but
a) as far as i know, it doesnt work with projecting any app (like i said, i already tried allcast)
b) this won't help when I need to present to a room that only has a VGA connection
This person seems to have had success using a Samsung All-Share Cast Hub and an HDMI to VGA connector:

Much appreciated, gbuch!! I'll definitely consider it. I'm not opposed to spending money, I just don't want to add more to my travel kit, so i was hoping for a software solution (even one thats costly).
Honestly, I'm absolutely stunned that this is this difficult. For hardware that is so loudly proclaimed as being for business applications, the fact that there isn't a way to get the picture from the tablet's screen to a PC/mac is disappointing. There's mirroring built into the OS(!!), it just is somehow more proprietary (or less widely used) than Apple's AirPlay. That's the most frustrating part: I can see the feature in the settings, I just don't know what I need on the other end to "catch" the signal...again, this should be doable with software on a mac or PC, not just with a Samsung Allcast :crying:
Re: Whiteboard presentation
I know you mentioned MirrorOp, so I apologize if this is not helpful. I teach math at a small college, I have been using the note for over 9 months as a digital whiteboard using MirrorOp Sender for Galaxy and MirrorOp windows receiver. (and SNote as the whiteboard tool). While the delay can be noticeable (up to a second sometimes) on the highest resolution settings, I find as a whiteboard tool, this delay is acceptable. In 9 months, I have had, as hard as it is to believe, no software crashes, dropped connection, etc. In my use of it, once my tablet and laptop are on the same wifi connection, I run MirrorOp Receiver (and maximize it), then run MirrorOp Sender on my note, it finds the receiver very quickly, I click play, and am good to go for the next 50 - 75 minutes lecture. (assuming I remembered to turn off screen saver, etc on my computer) It mirrors everything, have made my iPad wielding colleagues quite jealous, as pretty much the iPad is only good for power point presentations, since it does not have the precise pen input of the Note. Hopefully this was helpful, as I know you said you had tried MirrorOp before.

VGA adapter 15$

About that, chromecast in its latest software permits you to cast your screen completely with a little lag caused by the high resolution but completely bearable. Try downloading the chromecast app and select the option to cast screen on the left panel. It cuts the notification bar, i guess because of the aspect ratio between my tv and the tablet screen; again, bearable. On top of that, when papyrus detects screen casting, the app permits you to cast only the paper and not the interface like the bottons to select the pen and so.
Some photos of the chromecast:

Vga adapters are cheap but you will sometimes need an extra 5v microusb powersource and an extra 3.5 jack cable for sound but i think it is still better than carrying laptop and everything. I would have tried with mine but i need a male hdmi(My adapter) to male adapter(Chromecast) to make it work.
I know you said you didnt want to add hardware you your items but it is not that much, i am just here informing. .
If anything, you could also buy an mhl adapter. With this you would theoretically not have any resolution loss whatsoever (Not very relevant in a normal classroom proyector) and lag would be unnoticable. Downsides, you would still need the vga adapter and you would also have less freedom of movement with the cable directly connected to the proyector. "Upsides", I am not sure, but maybe you would also spend less battery.
Cheers.
Sorry, I didn't find a way to scale the images on the post to a better fitting size.

Did you get this watch or the the new one from No. 1 a G3 ?
I recently purchased this watch and am really pleased with it.
It has good build quality and unlike the No.1 D5 it has two buttons on the right side, one for the power and the other for the back button as well as the swipe down to go back.
I have also flashed the No1. D5 on it as it is the same specs.
If you have messed it up just download the rom from the No1 D5 site and flash it with that one.
http://en.001phone.cn/download-39.html
I had also backed up the old rom in case.
the only difference I found with the flashing instructions was that when you plugged in the watch to the computer when it was off, you had to just click the power button and it flashed with no problems.
Looks a very easy to custom rom watch.
Also I have found the manufacturers site if that helps too.
