Cant answer this for the S3, but for the iPhone I would always use an anti-glare screen protector along with the built-in otterbox screen protector. If you didn't, the otterbox's screen protector would stick to some points of the screen (not all) and make it look like water was trapped under the...

That's the main reason I don't like using the headphone jack. Plus, you have two different volume controls you have to balance out. Then again, it may be the same thing with this MHL connection. Hopefully they have some sort of filter within the connection to filter out the power noise/hum. I...

I like the iKross device. Would allow me to do this without a HDMI converter box which would require its own power supply. My only concern now (other than the price) is whether or not having the audio and charging power going through the same device would cause any feedback through the stereo...

You are right that no matter what we do, it will end up being analog. Now, my only experience is with the iPhone, but I always found the quality of sound to be much better coming from the dock than the headphone jack. Plus, I don't like having to mess with two sets of volume controls. I would...

One thing they did mention to me was that on the basic charger, the charging was slower than the power usage....so the battery still went down, just not as fast. They said there is a higher amp charger that may be able to overcome that though. Mike

Sorry about that. I am aware that there is a difference between miniUSB and microUSB (as anyone that jailbreaks an AppleTV2 would), but I got them reversed in my head. As for the HDMI connector I messed with yesterday, it had a microUSB (male) on one end going out to a box that had female ends...

A friend of mine showed me a cable today called a MHL cable. Looks like it would be used to go from the Note's miniUSB to HDMI and miniUSB. Should be able to go from that miniUSB to car charger and then go from the HDMI to a Component/Composite converter box. Anyone have any experience with...

OK, I'm seriously considering making the switch to an Android phone from many years with the iPhone. The Note has my attention!! My main concern right now is the ability to connect the Note to my truck stereo system. Right now, I'm using the Apple AV Cable that plugs into the dock connector and...
