Ok I see now. So is it the norm for the mini to have more pins. And is there more to the mini usb on the hero than data and charge.

The EVO uses a standard Micro USB port, while the Hero uses HTC's proprietary ExtUSB connector, which is backwards-compatibie with Mini USB. ExtUSB allows for peripherals such as a stereo headset with mic.

Theoretically, yes. Realistically, I don't believe there were ever any docks with audio output specifically manufactured for the Hero, but one designed for a different phone that also uses ExtUSB may work.
There are also "breakout" cables you can buy that have an ExtUSB connector on one end and branch out to a mini USB and a 3.5mm audio connector on the other end.
Yeah, older htc devices came with accessories for it. I have a htc stereo headset that uses it and a dongle that the headset and a charger can connect to and they work perfectly with the hero. They came with my tmo wing.

I brought the official samsung HDMI adaptar for my s3, can anyone confirm if it works with note2? I know there were pin differences with s2 and s3 adaptors.
I have the new adaptor here. Will check shortly and let you know.
I'm pretty sure it uses the same one as the galaxy s3 as I saw a video.of.someone using.it.

as these USB-OTG cables allow you to connect USB devices to you're phone. the standard things will be a flash drive, keyboard, mouse. now about drivers in android. what else can you do with this? connect an USB-IR receiver? USB IO box?(serial) USB to RJ45? DVB-T receiver?
This would make a nice addition to the list of working cables, the functions of USB-OTG on the NOTE II!
Samsung USB-OTG cables for Galaxy Note works on Galaxy Note2 too. It doesn't seem to do the same the Samsung MHL/HDMI cable for Galaxy Note. Can someone confirm it?
I heard that Samsung MHL/HDMI cable for SGS3 works with Note2, don´t know about the one with original Note.
Dirt-cheap ebay usb-microusb cables never worked for me on SGS1, only good for charging.
Good idea this thread
so I got a otg usb cable for an external hdd. and obviously it doesn't work because the hdd format is ntfs. anyone know how to make your note 2 device read ntfs external hdds?
kernel support is needed to read NTFS partitions natively. if you have root you could try the NTFS mounters for OTG available in the play store.
What HD formats does it actually read natively? Just FAT32?

Not exactly.
With the dock we have one station for video playback on TV, but together with option to control remote the phone with mouse and keyboard.
A very useful feature which makes us independent of the length and number of cables for this hardware and control the device.

If that's true that would be a great addition, BUT I haven't read anywhere that that would be an option for the tv dock. The micro usb is solely for charging purposes because mhl is dependent on external power supply.
I can however hook a keyboard/mouse to my tv itself. And also the tv remote is able to control your phone.

There is no logic in the previous models have this opportunity, and those we can not. In my LG tv, don't have option to control phone with remote controller for TV.

Then LG produces hdmi protocol incompliant TVs which I somehow doubt they do, as a major player in the consumer electronics and tv market. I'd rather say youre not using a correct cable rather than LG not having implemented hdmi cec in their devices.

Yes, in my TV missing option for cec control. That is.
After a thorough examination of the photos of the station, i saw no usb connector and missing supports on this for remote control devices .
In this situation I would not buy this product.
Where is the logic in this? Old dock have this options, but new dock don't have this.
How we will make remote control on this phone Xperia T with new dock or other product, if ours tv doesn't have this support for remote control/CEC/?
What is the way?
The dock must have a usb port (or power connector otherwise) as MHL needs an external power source.
The dock supports standard CEC/remote control, if your TV doesnt offer it, youre out of luck. Nothing sony or any other manufacturer could do about that. Your TV is ****, buy a new TV, basically.
So I recently bought the Samsung Multi-Media dock.
I've seen a few reviews and un-boxing's but can't seem to find any videos on people showing the full capabilities.
I also noticed, that when everything was plugged in, the dock wouldn't read any storage devices (pendrives and HDD). Would anyone know the problem? or what I have to do.
Thanks in advanced.
Also if anyone knows of good videos showing what it can do etc.. or record what it can do

Multimedia dock is just for charging and audio out.
Smart dock is for otg, hdmi out and charging.
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Probably not enough power to run everything.
ive got the one with the 3 usb ports, 3.5 mm jack, hdmi port and the mini usb port .. isn't that the smart dock??
cos the box says multi-media haha

You can probably call up samsung and send them the serial number to make sure it's real or not.
If it's the real one, I keep reading all over the forums that the format of the hdd/pen drives might be the issue. If you do a search I'm sure you'll find them. This was usually when people were buying the 64GBs cards and had to reformat them to get them to work. I'm assuming it might be a similar issue.

Tv reports 1080/30p. Using Maxthon browser in full screen mode and set for smallest letters is a pleasure using on bigger screen. Most (all?) applications are not optimized to utilize higher resolution output and simply mirror phone screen. Netflix app has a problem with smart dock. When video is played in full screen mode - hdmi is formated 4:3 instead 16:9. Other video apps output in correct ratio.

Yea, im a backer of that project. The screen you posted, the first one, is it just an adapter?
According to the article, it is a usb drive with either 16 or 32 gb.
Here is another one that is similar to the kickstarter one, but it also has the standard usb connector on one end and the housing slides to expose the micro usb connector on the other end. I like how the micro sd card slides into the usb connector.

That's not a flash drive, is it?

It's a MicroSD adapter, but in a sense, it could be considered a flash drive (same concept of R/W memory in a small form-factor).

Nice but too late, and if you buy those, you won't be able to use them on the pc unless you buy an adapter, so we are the same like now :crying: The best would be to make tablets with usb, but they would be thicker then.

Nah, these all have the standard USB plug as well, so they also work directly with PCs. No adapter required.

I get that, but I think a flash drive can be made to be much smaller, which would be safer while sticking out of the tablet/phone.
Can I use a regular HDMI To RCA Converter to use a ChromeCast with my old TV that has the "Yellow, Red, White" Connectors?
Thanks!

I've been trying this out for a few days. At first I had a couple issues with the chromecast rebooting every few minutes, but after doing a factory rest it seems fine now. I've got it hooked up to an old stereo system (and monitor) replacing an Airport Express I used to stream from my Ipod. Got to say I like the chromecast a lot better, doesn't have as many features but was much easier to set up and does what I want (Google Play Music and Youtube) perfectly.

what kind of converter are you using? The HDMI to RCA has to be powered right? (not just a passive adapter)
Yep
It should work well. I got an HDMI to composite converter off of Amazon and Chromecast works fine

can you paste a link to the converter you bought? thanks
I can't link yet (under 10 posts) but you can search amazon for:
ViewHD Universal HDMI to Composite / AV Video Converter, Support PAL / NTSC Standard TVs
Just make sure you have a 5V 1A usb charger for it to work properly. I used an apple wall usb charger.

Is there anything cheaper that will work?

I didn't see anything on Amazon for cheaper than $30 that got good reviews
How's the quality on those adapters?
Does it really need a Digital to analog converter?
I think it's time for a new TV.
I have one converter than I am willing to sell. I've bought it a month ago on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080KN18K/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
because the stupid rental unit where I am currently on vacation still has an old TV. I've only used it for this short amount of time, because I needed to connect my Logitech Revue. I've also connected the Chromecast both through the Revue and directly to the converter. It's perfectly working , you can see some pictures here
