No, it will not as the Note has a 5-pin micro USB port whereas the Note 2 has an 11-pin port. I tried the Smart Dock tonight with my S3, which has the same port as the Note 2, and it didn't even work there.
I expect firmware update will fix it for the S3, since it has the same port, but I think the hardware difference will prevent this being an option for the original Note.

Does usb keyboard need external power on original Galaxy Tab?

Will I need a powered Y cable to use a usb keyboard in OTG mode with CM10 on the original Galaxy Tab 7 ?
Are there any particular usb keyboards that are power thrifty enough to work without extra power?
Thanks for any ideas!
No. You only need the otg cable to connect any usb device. The keyboard is powered by your Galaxy Tab. I ordered one myself on ebay but I don't like it, I'm always afraid to damage the otg connection of my gt2. I ordered a bluetooth keyboard instead, completly wireless. The otg cable is only 2 dollars on ebay.

Thanks for the reply theriado but the original Galaxy Tab does not supply full power to the usb port like the Tab 2 does.
In fact the otg drivers were never official unlike the GT2 someone hacked them together.
In any case I will find out maybe this weekend if my cable ever arrives.
I was hoping there was also a hack to turn on otg without an adapter like some devices can do but no-one has ever replied about that one either.

MHL cable

I bought the MHL cable shown in pic,but I am not able to use,I tried connecting the usb part to my charger,still no use:crying:
The mhl cable for the s3 does not work with the Xperia Z.
You need to get the s2 cable as pictured below.
Here is a brief review by me posted earlier today in other threads
"Ok so tried the Samsung mhl cable (for the s2)
And Works with the Xperia z.
Tv launcher loads Works fine, so does the home screen. BUT it somewhat lags scrolling through them.
Where as the Xperia s with micro hdmi Works great and smoothly.
I've tried full hd/ 1080p videos; they all run smoothly on the Xperia z via mhl
Also you must plug it into a usb port (for charging) or plug the usb into your tv for the mhl to work
Refer to pic below.
I think there is an issue with the mhl cable (compatibility maybe) or it could be an issue with tv launcher/Home screen app
Who knows maybe Sonys mhl will work better."

Really!?
Hmm seems odd.
I'll just wait for the official Sony one.
Any lag with the s3 one?
You root the xZ?

when I reported the issue ,the vendor gave the one below,it works great.It seems the one for S2 and note 1
i've seen a few shops that state the original "Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 1 MHL Cable Adapter" should work BEST for the xperia z, although others will work too with it.
i don't know if there really is a difference in tech specs in these MHL Adapters, but the Samsung thing costs the same i guess, about 20 Euro.
The difference in the Galaxy S3 compatible MHL Adapter is the pin order from the Micro USB cable and it's said to be not workin with the Xperia Phones because of that.

Kindly stop posting duplicate threads everywhere. Stick to one thread per issue at most. I have deleted the duplicates.
instead of that give me a help about my note not working with hdmi

i think the MHL should work not the regular HDMI cable. make sure you plug in the power adapter to the cable, before you plug it in to your phone.

Why even bother when it's not natively supported? Not even worth it imo.
my tested 3-5 otg host cable not work
s3 mini otg host cable not support ?
No, it is not. Blame Samsung for that.
I've followed these instructions and got my father's S3 Mini to read USBs & irDA adapter.
Hope this helps.
