[Q] Galaxy Player as a GPS? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Does anyone know of a good car dock for this thing? It would be so cool to ditch my Garmin and have the player as a GPS/media center

[Q] Compatible Bluetooth Headsets For Galaxy Player 5.0?

Hi Everyone,
I was Wonderin if anyone had a list of compatible Bluetooth Headset for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
I want to listen to musics and such.
Thanks
I have nokia bh-503 and it works perfectly, with incredible sound quality.
Available on dx.com for 25$

The "LG Tone - HBS-700" are fantastic and do everything perfectly with my SGP 5.0.
I can't recommend them strongly enough.
You can buy a Jabra Clipper and use the headphones of your choice.
The Samsung HS3000 Clipon is available at Amazon, It comes with an above average set of ear buds, but you may substitute your own.

I love mine. Bought 2 pair so I'm never without a set due to charging.
Does anyone know if the motorola s305 is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 ?
I want to buy one, but I don't know about its compatibility.
Thanks in advance.

Most BT headsets are compatible. You can always return them if you don't like them.

As said above, most bluetooth handsets are compatible, just make sure your using the gingerbread FW on your player as the ICS/JB FW have no bluetooth and there isnt a fix yet (i think)
Avantalk goes fine
I enjoy my Galaxy player 4.0 with my Avantalk Jogger bluetooth headset and it goes fine. The only detail is that the realplayer app won't recognize the back/forward buttons, but that's all. In my opinion these wireless earphones sound pretty well, as good as the nokia's. Although this tablets have 3.0 BT, these can pair with these 2.0 headsets (or whatever) automatically.
In short, the Jogger plays cool xD
With my player I used LG HBS-700 BT headset and the controls worked great for back/forward etc etc.
The only thing I couldn't do was connect a BT keyboard no matter how many different ones I tried out while other people with the same player could connect keyboards without issue.

Should be any normal headphones
Any Bluetooth 3.0 Headphones should work, you don't really have to custom make them for different devices.

Dock, stand

Anyone have a oem Samsung one? Can't find any. Do older models work? Can u put it into dock mode without a dock? How does it know it's docked?

Got the Tab 2 today and tested my dock stand from my Tab 1. I use it mainly for watching movies over HDMI.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. It charges but the HDMI function doesn't work. Pretty pissed of actually. It's an Samsung dock stand ans cost me $60. Can't believe Samsung changed something so it doesn't work.
Anyone know what Samsung changed?

tab plus dock works and about $15.00
I read a review on Amazon about modifying the tab plus dock for the tab2. I can confirm it works with the mod. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B006DJ4NL4/ref=aw_d_crstars_electronics?qid=1344288906&sr=8-4

Does it have audio out and does this work properly? If so I might buy to make an audio out cable.
There's a new tab 2 dock just out http://www.expansys.com/samsung-doc...-7-0-and-10-0-charging-audio-line-out-234064/
that looks pretty good.
Using my old Tab dock too with my Tab 2! a bit tight but works well as just a charging dock! Did not know the HDMI did not work!

Audio out works. Had to load the Dock app, and/or change a dock setting. I had the new tab2 dock and returned it. I like to turn the tab landscape and watch the game, but the tab2 dock won't allow it.

I would say the tab 2 does not have hardware to do HDMI / MHL out. Manufactures are not in the habit of including hardware for no good reason and hiding it. To save cost, I'd bet Sammy eliminated the TV out chip.
As i read from other users, hdmi was found and stated in the first version of the manual and then removed in the next versions!!!
Lets hope it will be supported in the jb release (soon) stay tuned
You could ask the official Samsung dealer in your country
You could send dm to the user in this thread, he says the hdmi work with certain dock in our tab

[Q] MHL compatibility

I have read that the phone does support mhl 3.0, but then I have read that it doesn't and the only way you are getting video out is through Miracast. Anybody here have direct knowledge if there is mhl support?
Thanks
Microsoft Miracast dongle won't work with it either. Does not connect. So much for using this phone with my Appradio.

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.
Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.

I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.

I have a Kenwood, Guess I could put a chromecast dongle on. I prefer the hardwire connection. How stable is your video connection to your head unit?

With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.
Well, these comments are bothersome! I ordered a Samsung MHL connector from Amazon and it is coming from China on a very slow boat. I ordered it two weeks ago and Amazon says it could be another month. This will tick me off if it finally gets here and doesn't work!! If anyone gets it to work, please post here!!
I got an official Samsung adapter and my s3 works like a charm but my s6 edge just shows a black screen

If you can't buy the remote from anywhere, then I would either recommend the Gamepad or using a remote app (official or Droidmote) on a cell phone or tablet.
you can use

Does anyone know if the 2015 Amazon Fire TV 4K remote works?
It uses WiFi Direct so I'm doubtful, but I would buy one if it worked.
Man what's with everyone using that WiFi blocking WiFi direct crap? I sold my roku stick over that crap, broadcasting as an access point on the same channel as my router and blocking WiFi. They created Bluetooth for this type of stuff might as well use it.
And I'm going to go with no, as the shield controller also uses WiFi direct and reports have indicated that the shield controller won't pair with the nexus player

The Shield controller won't work but the Shield remote does. I own both and have used my Shield remote on my Nexus Player just fine because it uses Bluetooth

Yeah I did find that eventually but for that price you might as well just buy a whole new player

I use the chines flying remote (buy a good one for $12) it has selections to fly point or to just standard remote. You attach with a small usb dongle provided with remote and has plus you can use with those app that require touch or mouse control. all in one.
This is the one I use ...but there is more... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/262410582053?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

I know I'm about 2 years too late but wifi direct remotes wont interfere with your wifi, even if they are on the same channel. You only get wifi interference if both are being used at the same time, so you only get a fraction of a second of interference when you press a button on the remote.
haw somebody bought something cheap that worked with nexus player?
stock remote is garbage..
The Harmony hub isn't cheap but it's great if you need a universal remote. I got it for $80 CAD during Black Friday.
It has BT and it works well with NP. It's what I'm using now.
