MHL adapter in back of dock

SImple question,
if you buy a charging dock can you simply put the MHL adapter in the back into the micro usb port and have it charge/video out at the same time?
clearly the new 11 pin dock for an s3 or n2.
i couldnt see why this wouldnt work but just want to make sure. im planning on a nice little setup via HDMI and bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

The setup you describe worked with my galaxy tab 7" plus but not with my galaxy s3, so I'd be interested in the answer to this aswell

For me, i search the Saint Graal, a charging dock and transfer data with :
- Audio line-out
- HDMI
- USB
- Port SD ...
It's only a dream ???

it will work with Phones that doesn't have the extra pins that Samsung put in the micro USB port in the Note 2/S3 unless that dock has these pins unfortunately it wont work.

^^would the samsung adapter 5-11pin adapter work that you can buy for a few bucks?
i feel this is reasonable since a dock is simply an extension in some plastic.

The official smart dock has:
HDMI
3USB ports (you could plug in an sd card adapter)
3.5mm out
micro usb sync/charge in
cost 64.95 euros i think

that means the note 2's usb port can work as an MHL and USB OTG port at the same time. i hope someone comes up with a portable dongle that does this.

oh wow, thats exactly the type of thing im looking for. thanks!

We have a date, shop and prize ?

Kidigi also do one: http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1418 but it apparently won't sync with a PC, so it's just an MHL dock. Doesn't look like it'll charge the phone well either as it outputs 500mA

Storage Solution: My Personal Take

I've been working on a little project of my own for the past few days, trying to fit the largest amount of storage into the smallest space. Here's the current version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's what's under the heatshrink:
It's an 8GB drive, but I could easily do it again with up to 32GB of storage. I shorted the 5th pin to ground, so it is properly recognized as though it were plugged into an OTG cable. The Micro USB connector is attached to the memory with JB Weld epoxy. I used a SanDisk Cruzer FIT USB drive to make this.
Thoughts?

Great Project! Just to confirm, does USB OTG work with the Nexus 4?
On this thread no one seems to be able to make it work?

Just take my money please!

If it works, you should mass produce these.
Btw is that your nexus 4 already cracked?

It's a Galaxy Nexus.

have you thought about spraying it with plastidip to give it a shell?

That could work well. I'm currently waiting for the JB Weld to fully cure. This one was more of a proof-of-concept, if I make another it should look better and have more storage.

Does this drain the battery any quicker?
Let's say if you were using it to read data off constantly?

It looks dumb, they should have built it with an SD slot or have a 32gb model, will not buy until it does.

Good job to the Op - I don't see this sort of affair as a problem because I'd only need the extra storage while it's not connected to a charger or PC anyway.
But... Would it be possible for someone to make a very small USB connector that folds around the back (like a ribbon-cable sort of affair) to avoid the risk of snapping in the pocket - that way you could stick the SD Card on the back of the phone when you're using it.

Go buy a different phone with a sd slot and stop complaining, the OP's work is innovative to say the least, we'll done! A thought tho, a bumper case with built in storage device on the back, a small ribbon cable to a micro-usb connector in the bottom of it and voilà...
Edit: Previous post got in between, hehe... This is what you get for taking a break to smoke and chit-chat before typing out the last and posting... No offense, two people, same kinda idea! Awesome.
Tapatalked from my h4x0r3d up Maguro.

The way I see it:
Use a thick(ish) case, to protect the glass.
Make a mod like this, but with longer, flat cable.
Carve a hole in the case to accommodate and protect this all.
Use wireless charging since the microUSB port will be occupied at all times.
PROFIT.

PQI Micro USB drives/OTG solutions [Engadget]

Hey guys, I just saw this article on Engadget. Apparently the company PQI had a lot of micro usb drives and storage solutions at Computex. Most of these won't be available until Q3 this year though, but definitely worth a look!
http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/09/pqi-connect-micro-usb-otg-drive/
They briefly go through each one, there are 6 in all with different quirks and things.

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.

The 201 has both connectors in one. Standard USB for your PC, micro USB for your mobile device. No adapter needed.

I'd expect the quality of these devices to be top notch, but probably expensive, I have a PQI wifi SD adaptor that works seamlessly with every android device I've tried it with (via an app in the market).

Those are nice, but still not exactly what I want, which is a flashdrive that's Micro-USB *only* so that it can be made as small as possible,

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.

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).

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.

OTG cable what works and doesn't work

I purchased some cheap OTG cables a while back off Amazon and don't remember them ever working on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, DroidX, LG Revo, Sero 7 Pro, or Nook Color. I plugged a USB stick into it and it worked great on my G2. Even found a way to record the HD 1080 60fps video directly to USB stick via OTG. Also mouse via hub and memory stick all worked together. No go for USB LAN.

Rohde and Schwarz NRP-Z21 and Z24 power sensors work (when used with an NRP-Z4 USB adaptor cable). Not a very common thing but it sure is convenient if you do need it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think OTG works without USB host mode on the device. Special kernels were always required on the earlier devices to get anything connected via USB and not to a computer to transfer data. From what I've read, the G2 has USB host mode enabled, so all sorts of stuff should plug right in and work. USB LAN might work with kernel tweaks, but that is beyond my somewhat basic knowledge.
There is a great mini micro SD card reader on another thread that would skip the use of OTG cables for simple storage expansion, and has a USB pass-through for plugging in a stick rather than a card. I believe the cost was around $12. That is a fancy set-up you have there, but seems spendy in comparison.

What type of connector is this?

I've lost the charging cable for my motorcycle Bluetooth unit and after about 20mins googling to find a new one with no success I thought I'd come and ask you clever chaps to see if you could shed any light !!
It smaller than both a micro and a mini usb, will I be able to buy a replacement or is this some sort or proprietary port? I'll include a pic below for your perusal !!

I had figured out how to see the image...
You just need to copy the image link itself...
As far as the connector... It looks like it's a USB Type C. The cable your trying to use is a Micro USB.
Their very different and I've seen them get confused and even ruined the two.
Good Luck!

I used the micro usb cable for comparison in the pic, it's not mini or micro usb it's actually smaller than both...
My concern is that it's some sort of propietary port that in not going up be able up get hold of.

I believe I might have that connector stored away. What manufacture is the Bluetooth unit? If you can't find the cable you need with that connector let me know and I'll try to find it. If I have it I'll send it to you.

I m not sure, but it looks similar to the micro hdmi port that my sony Xperia had... Ages ago... Please check it...

That is ether Mini USB B 4pin, and before you dismiss it I know it is not Mini B 5pin that we all know it is not.

Otherwise it is as someone else said and is the same Mini B that is used on Sony Cyber Shot cameras. This is the one I think it is

Hey, isn't that a UC-E6 (8 pin mini USB) connector used on a lot of digital cameras?
Google 'UC-E6 cable' for comparison.

Micro HDMI i think
https://images.app.goo.gl/UG9kivyREpccUBPo6

That is NOT a usb-c port. What u r trying to USE is a micro-usb. Idk about the other one tho.
