Best OTG?

Can anyone recommend a decent USB OTG that hangs down the side of the nexus 10 rather than sticks out?
Preferably one they've proven to work with an N10.
I appear to have lost my Samsung one I was hoping to use.
Thank you.
Swype'd at pace from my Galaxy S2

I have this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GI2VMG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Works perfectly with my thumb drives and external hdd. Not only does it work, but the price was unbeatable.
Don't buy one of those $10+ cables as it does the same exact thing as this one.
I might add, you could possibly look into getting one that can charge the device at the same time it's using an external storage device. Unless you're okay with it.
Stickmount works with root on my devices
Nexus Media Importer works without root on my devices
GNex and N10.
Hope this helps!

Confirmed that my OTG cable works.

Can you still get to the headphone jack with that cable?

Is there any long (length wise) USB OTG Cable?
So I can just keep the flash drive or external drive in my messenger bag and use my phone or tablet LOL.
Also will USB 3.0 work with the devices?

I bought both of these. Both connect with the larger portion of the USB connector towards the screen so they hang down the side of the tablet:
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable - The connector for this one was flipped from the picture and hangs down the side of my N10.
eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter - This one came just like it was pictured.
Both came from Hong Kong which took about 2 weeks in the mail however they cost just around $1.00 each and with free shipping not much to lose.
I use mine with a elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader and a 32GB card (my 64GB is in my S3). With the adapter in the OTG cable it barely hangs out the bottom and makes it very compact.

I have 2 kinds of OTG cables here, both working perfectly fine with my Galaxy Nexus. However on Nexus 10 when I connect a USB device to the OTG (or connect the OTG cable with a USB device already plugged in) the tablet turns off completly and I have to remove the OTG to be able to start it again.

OK -- Sorry to resurrect a glue'd horse, but does anyone have a link for one that ALWAYS ships the correctly sized (read not too long) OTG adapter? I've already ordered two of the OTG adapters through Amazon but they BOTH have too long of a connector and it basically sits loose in any device. Very lame.

I'm looking for one as well. The cheap ones from eBay are too long. They work but the connection is loose. Do NOT buy the ones linked below.

Just an FYI I e-mailed Juiced Systems to see if this would work with the Nexus 10. Their response is below:
The adapter should work with 4 out of the 5 functions for the Nexus 10(MHL maybe not). I have yet to test it out personally. This is something we will test soon and will post online. The nexus 10 does have an HDMI mini port built into it already. If MHL doesn't work that is because google did not think it was necessary to make it MHL capable when it has an HDMI mini port. The Nexus 7 is not MHL capable either, not sure why they chose to do that. I will keep you posted once the nexus 10 testing comes back.
Thank you

Can you still access the headphone jack with this OTG cable?

Can anyone tell me how an OTG cable can be better than another except of the price/length/design ??
Isn't that micro USB to USB cable just a normal cable connecting 5 pins which are either in a bigger or a smaller plug?
Why should such a cable not work (except of the situation that the cable is damaged)?

I watched a video on how to make your own, if it was correct, they stated that one pin was unused and when it is connected to chassis ground tells the device to go into OTG mode.

So this OTG cable is not just connecting each pin? It's not just an adapter?
Okay then, good to know, thank you

If you took a razor knife to the strain relief part it would work, as it is you can stress it out of the way enough to fit a headphone jack but it puts a bit too much pressure on the USB port for my liking try it they're cheap!

i see most are using ones with a cable, is there an issue with ones like these?

I got 2 of this, works pretty well and sits close to the side of the tablet.
Only 2 issues, the connector itself is long so it's a little loose and it will block the earphone jack.

Multi-functional 4 in 1 Connection Kit

Has anyone tried this accessory with the GN2? Looks pretty useful, just want to make sure it works without rooting.

I have one and it works great. I've only used it for transferring in photos from my digicam and some files from a few thumbdrives, but it's worked perfectly thus far.

I have one. No need to root as stock OTG support is fine, but will not read NTFS.
There are a couple issues I have with it used with Note2:
- it will not act as a dock... it will not charge your phone while it powers memory or USB devices.
- it cannot be used with a case, unless you also buy an extension cable... M/F micro USB
- mine feels a little weak, like it might break off in the micro USB port & is intermittent if moved.
It's easier & cheaper to use a OTG cable unless you need to power USB devices... then you could add a hub. If you use a smart dock, you get charging, 3x USB, audio, HDMI.
For the cost, it would have been nice to have it charge as stated for S2.

Bought it for use with my Galaxy Note and now use it for my Galaxy Note 2.
Works great (yeah, not with a case on unless you have an extension cable), have used it with SD cards, Keyboard, mouse (yup, puts a mouse pointer on your screen!), external hard drive (but you have to plug in power (usb or wall charger) for that), I have even plugged in my Creative USB headphones and they work great! Awesome device.
If I was to make it, I would put a little sturdier plug on it (see other post for "flimsy feel") and make it so it had a VERY short plug (like a 1/4 inch longer) so it could be used without popping the bottom out of my TPU case).
If someone has a link to a SHORT m-f micro usb extender, SHARE please !!

HDMI added, and the short extender you want.

Did anyone tried the version with the hdmi?If it works,it could be a good alternative to official smart dock (100$)

It seems that it doesn't charge the note, as per the reviews, when the usb host is used.
I want something that charges it, to use it in the car, sending video to my headrest screens FROM a USB thumb drive. So I'd need USB+HDMI out, plus charging. That would be great to have. But only playing videos from USB drive WHILE CHARGING it would be enough for me. Although there are dongles for the Note 2 that would allow HDMI+Charging, there is nothing AT ALL in the market that would allow USB HOST+Charging capabities. Not an Android phone, not a tablet (other than Toshiba/Acer with USB ports on the side).

I think MHL will not work because the 11 pin vs 5 pin connector we have like the Galaxy S3
Found this comment on amazon:
This thing is magic! All of these different ports in one simple accessory is brilliant! They don't claim that MHL on this unit works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and sure enough MHL does not. Everything else does though. Having all of these ports on one small accessory makes the most of any compatible smart phone.

Maybe not, from the Amazon reviews:
cannot charge and use usb device at the same time.
plug in charger and usb device is disabled.
fails on nexus 7 and galaxy note.

Chances that it would work on the Note 2 are slim I fear.

Anyway I will probably get the older version with the card reader and usb port,it is more portable!

I would recommend an adapter I bought through monoprice. I don't think I can post links just yet but if you go to their site just search for item #7603.
I've tested and it works perfectly. My Nexus 10 is my new NES, SNES, N64, and PSone :laugh:

You just need a micro hdmi cable, nothing special ..

I don't have the adapter, but does it completely mirror the n10 screen like a desktop?

As far as I know it does. I tested it with Netflix, Emulators, Youtube videos, Android games, and internet browsing, and it mirrored everything pretty smoothly.
Oh and to watcher64, I guess it's just personal preference. I feel like a normal HDMI cable is much more accessible. There have been times when I wanted to connect to a TV at a friend's house and pretty much every TV these days has something which uses an HDMI cable. It's much easier to carry the adapter wit you and just swap wires than to carry a whole cable with you.

Well, it's from eBay.

To echo what has been said, I would definitely recommend a small HDMI to MicroHDMI adapter/dongle rather than getting a long MicroHDMI cable. HDMI cables are fairly ubiquitous and it is nice being able to use any cable available as long as you have the adapter with you.
I also recommend getting this rather than a straight adapter. The previously linked adapter will cause a little less strain on the port than this adapter because there would be less leverage.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I can echo what's been said before about ebay cables. I have one that works well with my XOOM and has been quite reliable (the official Motorola one I picked up off Amazon for 15 bucks or so) and a cheap one that is VERY flaky. It was okay the first few times, but after a few times in and out I think the solder connections inside got flaky. I've sold my XOOM to my mother (I'm very hesitant to sell my devices, but if they stay in the family I might get to see them again from time to time ) and I was going to give her the Motorola HDMI cable for her to use so I'm going to order one of those HDMI dongles right now and we'll see if it treats me well too.

I've been using an inexpensive cable from monoprice and it works great. I think I'm going to pick up one of those short mini-HDMI to HDMI dongles as I always seem to forget to bring the cable with me.

HDMI threw USB

Finally ordered a 1$ adapter (straight , no cable) and a micro usb to OTG wire !

I went with a 90 degree adapter from eBay, as the 90 OTG cable I have works so much better then a straight one ergonomically.

Just tried the adapter i picked up at monoprice and holy crap this thing is incredible on a 55 inch screen (UN55D7050). Played the Timescape clip and the results were jaw dropping. Also text was clear and crisp just like everything else. Love this tablet more everyday.

I did read that if you want to unplug the tablet, you should turn off the TV first then put the tablet to sleep or else you might corrupt the storage on the N10. Can't find the link right now though.

Did this cable work okay for you?
Died it need to be any specific cable for the N10? I don't want to damage the port with an incorrect cable.
Will any of the mini to HDMI cables on eBay work?

They all should work fine. This is the cable I purchased. Worked fine back then with my Transformer 300 and now the Nexus 10, as well. Monoprice is one of my go-to places for cables.

The question is... do all of you people who are reporting success with your HDMI cable actually have audio playback too? Could of sworn I recall seeing a good bit of people reporting video working, but not audio.

Yes/no. On one television my hdmi has no sound and on another it does. If I use my son's cable the sound work on both set's but not on his. I've read it is the combination. It's hit and miss with particular cables. But I have been sending the sound to the stereo with blue tooth, so I don't use it anyhow.
I read the original post and was going to recommend purchasing locally so it could be exchanged if you ran into this situation.
I also like the idea of purchasing a short conversion cable to attach any hdmi! Great idea!

This is a panasonic issue. Not a cable issue from what I can tell. I have 2 cables (Dynex and Motorola) Both work the exact same. Fine on my Sony, no sound on Panny.

when you buy a regular hdmi cable you need to look for the version of the protocol that the cable supports (for features) and for gold connectors, with this small connector cables are there other considerations?

Just got a Fosmon Micro HDMI to HDMI (M/M) High-Speed Cable with Ethernet and Gold-Plated Connectors for Asus Transformer TF300 Prime - (6FT)
Video works, but audio doesn't work on my TV (some older VIERA TV). Judging by that Panasonic note mentioned earlier in the thread, that might explain the lack of audio :/
In any case, it's a very nice cable It's out of stock on Newegg currently though, but I paid like $3 for it.

I got a 5m on eBay in the end. It only came to £6.50 and video and audio work great!

OTG USB adapter for the TF701

Found this on amazon for the Vivo tab, which uses the same 36-pin connector as the TF701. So I bought it for $20US hoping it would work with the 701 and it does! Plugged in the OTG adapter and attached my sandisk extreme usb 3 thumbdrive. Used the included SD/uSD card adapter to connect a couple SD cards and had no problems. Didn't do any speed tests or anything, just wanted to make sure they worked, and they did.

Hey - happen to have a PS3 controller you could test with? Almost bought the dock purely for this purpose, so I'm dying to know if plugging a controller in through USB would work...
If this really is fully supported by the tf701t, I'm seriously questioning why they didn't say so?

No problem. There is another way to find out. Do you have a USB mouse and/or keyboard handy? If you wouldn't mind testing these basic peripherals, we could really verify if this thing provides host mode for more than disk drives.
If so, I'm buying!

Warning: This will not work with our TF701!!!!!! Read the Q&A below the product description !!

should the one for the tf700t also work?

The adapters mentioned that work with the 701 are all usb-2.
Does anyone know of a usb-3 adapter that will work?

I'm considering getting a TF701T, does anyone know if you could use this to charge the device? It'd be nice to know I have a backup if the proprietary USB cable fails.

Also can you simultaneously power the device and provide input using a usb hub(plug in keyboard and mouse for example)?

I went to the computer store. Bought the following:
The adapter which is 2.0 by the way.
USB 3.0 HUB with Power Adaper.
A male to A male cable.
While connected to a the HUB, and while the device is on its says "NOT CHARGING". I turn it off(tablet), Not getting a charge while connected to a the hub. It also drained it while the tablet is off. Nevermind the hub for power.
NO CHARGE FROM HUB
While connected to the PC it drained the power down to 6% then went back up to 50%. Not sure about that because it seemed to charge while it was off.
NO CHARGE FROM PC
As for the power adapter that comes with the tablet to it. Not charging while ON. Turn it off and no charge.
NO CHARGE FROM ASUS POWER ADAPTER
SO no it doesnt charge in any practical sense from this VIVO adapter as far as i can tell. Maybe its the MALE to MALE cable. I dont know. But its not worth trying if there a chance of drain killing it.
Unfortunately from the adapter there is no media connection or usb debugging to pc or usb hub afiak.
NO MEDIA CONNECTION OR USB DEBUGGING
The good news is that the device can connect to the USB HUB and the keyboard , mouse and thumb drive work flawlessly together.
