[Video] Galaxy Note 2 Connectivity demo. Get comfy, its looong!

That was an amazing video. There can't be too many questions left that people will have after that.

And DAYUM that Note 2 is a power-house. Can't wait to get mine.

Thanks for your hard work in putting this and your other videos together for our knowledge and pleasure. :)

Thanks dude! Appreciate your kind words, a lot of work went into that one! Much happier with it than I was with my S3 video, think I got audio levels sorted better and showed some stuff I neglected in the other video like multiplayer with emulators and the GoFlex Satellite.

Thanks twospirits!

@Elantric: MHL does up to 7 channel sound (according to specs, I don't rip my video to 7 channels and my surround system isn't 7 channels, so not actually experienced it).
 
Quick question; I have a Seagate GoFlex 250 GB drive which is NTFS. If I format it as Fat32 what happens to the files on the drive? I clicked on Properties and it offers me NTFS or exFAT.

If you format it the files will be overwritten. You will need to copy them to your PC, format the drive, and then copy them back. Alternately you can Root and use a custom kernel or an app to mount NTFS drives (search for Paragon in the Play Store to find the app).

Does that mean wireless USB keyboard/mouse while connected to the TV now? That would be sweeeet!

Yeah, seems like it works. Will track one down soon and test it out.

Me? I'm in New Zealand :)
 
what is the trade-off from going NTFS to fat32?
I would rather, root my device so i dont need to reformat. Love rooting.


there is a speed loss.. right? and a size limit on fat32 (i think 200gb)?

No limit for Fat32, there used to be but those limitations have long since ceased to be an issue. I have a 2TB drive formatted to Fat32 (the one in the video).

I don't think speed is particularly an issue, main thing about Fat32 is that files cannot exceed 4GB in size. With NTFS you could copy an 8GB (or whatever) sized video to the phone to watch (with MHL that actually becomes useful to some people).

Seems like I will be getting a Smart Dock to play around with in a couple of days - what do people want to know about it?
Click to expand...
why not make another video of all the things you connect using the smartdock?:) and thankyou for the awsome vid, looking forward to more on the note2
 
RE: Smart Dock - I should hopefully be getting one tomorrow :)

I look forward to your Smart Dock review.

(My Smart Dock is still back ordered here in the USA)


Question for the SmartDock review:

HDMI Out - I assume this still supports audio over HDMI ? How many audio channels? (2 Chennel Stereo, 5.1 Surround? , 7.1 Surround? )

It would ideal if appropriate short video test clips with 5.1 surround could be employed for the test.


USB Host port test: I know this supports all USB products with an HID Profile (mice and keyboards ) , but if you have access to USB Audio Interface devices which are USB Audio Class Compliant - that sure would be a nice test.


Something like one of these could be employed as a test for USB Audio Class Compliant Device :
Amazon.com: Vantec USB External 7.1 Channel Audio Adapter (Black): Electronics





or

Amazon.com: USB 6 Channel 5.1 PCI External Sound Card PC Laptop - Win 98 SE, ME , 2000, XP, Vista Mac OS 9.1 (Mac version has 2 channel playback only) - Compliant with USB specification v1.1, USB audio device class v1.0: Electronics


or

Amazon.com: Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone (Textured White): Electronics


or this list of USB DACS
http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/435#post_8757896
--


Also a test of a UVC Compliant Web Cam would help too:
Amazon.com: Cubeternet USB 2.0 Webcam with Microphone + Bright LED Lights (UVC-Compliant) for PC, Mac and Linux: Electronics


App for testing USB Web cam

Thanks for the questions Elantric, will be sure to try and cover all of that.

USB audio will be easy for me to cover, I contribute actively to the thread you linked to and was one of the first to confirm USB audio worked with the Galaxy S3 over at XDA. At present I have two USB DAC/amps with me, the HeadAmp Pico and RSA Intruder - will try both (be interested to see whether the Pico works via the Dock, as it doesn't work without a powered USB hub). Will be getting a Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII in a couple of days too.

Seems confirmed I will get the dock tomorrow, couriers willing.
