I just saw an unbox video and there was an adaptor in the box of note 7 from type c to micro usb. It was very small. I have the older white gear VR. Anyone thinks that it would be possible to use the adaptor and make the new note 7 fit on the older gear VR? That would save us $99. What you guys think?
its not possible
but if you will buy the new VR
it will support all old devices
Correct. Even if the Note 7 physically fits into the Gear VR, it would be a tight fit that wouldn't allow for the adapter to be used.

I used to have a galaxy tab 7 and i bought the official car dock for it. Will the same dock work for the new galaxy tab 2 7.0? If it will I'll probably buy one, if not I'm gonna preorder a nexus 7 tab.

You should ready about that n7 in the general forum before you order one.
I'm pretty sure the dock will work fine though.

The only thing Im not crazy about with the N7 tab is no sd card slot. That's the only thing swaying me towards the Samsung. I think I would be happy with either one but having the extra expand-ability would be nice.
I've bought usb on the go converter and cable date (plus charge) for the first galaxy tab (P1000) to use in my GT2 and so far the usb otg works fine (haven't tried the cable data though).
It's the same 30 pin connector after all unlike apple connector which I've heard from a friend different generation have different voltage or something inside altough the pin stays the same.
So I think the car dock should works normally but if you can you might want to ask the seller first just to make sure.
Hi everyone, the original samsung tv out mhl for galaxy s3 it's compatible with S4?
According to this the s3 has MHL 1.0 whereas the s4 has MHL 2.0.
Here is some knock off on amazon selling for $11:
Anyone want to pull the trigger on the knock off?

S4 is compatible MHL 2 does it mean it is not backward compatible !? I think you are making a wild guess that might or might not be proven right.
I have my s3 MHL that I will try with my s4 and will report with concrete results maybe tomorrow if I find time for it.

MHL 2 is backwards compatible with 1, though sounds like you need the additional m-usb power cable.
The description from the knock off on amazon states otherwise, which makes me all the more leery from buying the knock off. Wish monoprice would hurry up and release their version for s4 already.

so my galaxy s3 mhl dongle it's compatible with s4 I only add ext power? right?
Should be. As popular as this phone will be, you should expect to see less expensive ( non samsung branded) version come out. I wonder when mono price will release their new s4 cable
im personally gonna be buying it from verizon because i get a 25% discount and because i can just swap it out if it stops working (like the cheesy cables & cords u find on amazon)
Can confirm that my S3/Note 2 MHL adapter works with the S4 (Smart Dock does too for that matter).
I have a old knock off MHL adapter I got for my HTC EVO 3D that didn't seem to work with my GS4, apparently they have a different number of pins in the plug but an adapter is available, though probably better off just getting a new MHL that specifies for Samsung
Hi, is it possible to use a cable like that? http://www.everychina.com/f-z51ede7e/p-91338529/showimage.html
Where can be buyed? other web ... of course.
If it works, may select between dual mode or extended mode?
In dual mode, may i turn off the screen's tablet and works only with the hdmi output?
hdmi adapter with more
Anyone have an Idea if this would work ---

This item can be connected MHL Phone or Tablet to HDTV. One cable and two usages. If you wanna get one for your note 8.0, you can search it at ebay.com or amazon.com with keyword "mhl cable for samsung Note 8.0".
Make sure it is compatible with Samsung devices. MHL adapters that worked with HTC devices are not compatible with Samsung devices.

If I were you I wouldn't trust the price !!!
I'am sure they'll send you either a fake (which is not as performant as the real deal !!!) or worse an old mhl (the S3's for example which may also be a fake)
That being said, if you have the spare money to give it a try feel freed to give us a feedback on the case you will fill in ^^
no it doesnt work just i tried on my note and it didnt work
I bought this one at BestBuy . A but pricey but it works. Don't want to risk on cheap ones not working so I got it.

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.
I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2
it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5
I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home
Does anyone know if the Note9 will fit in the latest version of Gear VR? (SM-R325) Being the phone is .1" larger than last year's Note8 it might be a stretch to fit.
I did more research and found that in the details of the current model on the Samsung store website it says
"Galaxy Note9 requires a new adapter to be sourced free of charge from Samsung Customer Service at 1-800-SAMSUNG".
That's good to know, I will be contacting them.
Well I called 1-800-SAMSUNG like the website says and they told me I had to call customer service which is 1-855-726-8721 and they said the adapter for the current Gear VR (Note8 edition) will come in the Note9 box, which I know is false because I've watched many unboxing videos. Don't you love how no one knows that the hell they are talking about and they just point fingers at another department. I guess I'll just wait another week or two when my Note9 comes and when I'm certain it's not in the box I will call those numbers back up again and blow up on them.

Lack of communication. Just wait till you hand the phone in hand then call them.
They confirmed yesterday that everything should work fine with RM325. so i got a RM325 and now the software isn't installing. it does nothing when i connect it to the headset. contacted support and now they are saying " wait a few more days for official info". are you kidding me.

Did you need a new adapter for it to fit? Or does it fit fine right out of the box?

They must only include it in your countries version, I have watched U.S. version unboxing videos and its not in our box.
Ok got my Note 9 today and Gear VR (RM325) the note 8 adapter does work with the note 9 (although its not a perfect fit and i would be hesitant to use as it pinches the screen). I had the VR working flawlessly. SO now to figure out where to get this adapter. I called Samsung three times and they have no idea what i'm talking about.
Edit: Also my Verizon 512gb Note 9 did not come with an adapter.
So instead of calling (which i tried again today and they still had no idea what i was talking about) I used the Live chat support and selected the GearVR as the product i needed help with. After Giving him my IMEI number for my Note 9 and my shipping information he created a ticket for me and the adapter will be sent to me by sept 10th.

r u sure that is gear vr adapter & not usb adapter?
I remember reading on their page for the VR contact customer care and they should send you the adapter. Use that for reference for customer service reps.

"The current iteration of Gear VR (SM-R325NZVAXAR) will be supported by the Galaxy Note9, however you will need an adapter to fit it. If you are a Galaxy Note9 owner and would like to receive the adapter free of charge, please call 1-800-SAMSUNG*"
Make sure you point to this, and you have that model VR headset.
The Gear VR (RM325) & Note 9 will work ok without the adapter
I've had the RM325 and got my Note 9 on the 22nd sans any adapter besides the USB one. Using an Xfinity Mobile US version. The Gear VR worked fine once you update the related apps, although the shape of the connector is a little different so I can see the adapter fitting better. I'll probably not use it too much until I get a chance to order the adapter from Samsung.
I have the Note 9 and I can assure you the adapter is not in the box. At least not in mine.
I also contacted support via chat on samsung website. When I showed them the url from Tidbits post mentioning the free adapter, they immediately processed the free adapter.
