Hey guys! I got my Note a few days ago from handtec, along with the MHL adapter. Should I be able to just plug it in and have the display mirrored onto my Monitor, or do I have to do something inside the settings that I'm missing to activate it?
Plug it in.
That's all there is to it.
Do make sure of course that you have a power cable plugged into the adapter itself or it wont work.
Plug it in then restart shouod work after

I did not have the power cable connected. Sucks that you have to have it connected, but oh well! I got it working! I'm actually using a HDMI to DVI cable. I don't have a HDMI cable, but I had that from a older TV, so hey, why not!

You shouldn't have to. I've always just plugged it in and it works.
As stated before, you have to have the power cable plugged into the adapter. Have you done that or are you just connecting the HDMI cable and the phone?

sure, it's support standard data/charging for the device, like streak 5; also support otg cable.
for example, for streak 5, when you plug micro usb otg cable, the device into otg function, when you plug stand micro usb cable, it's into data/sync/charging.

Hello all , recently my usb cable broke and i dont want to pay $26 for one. Ive called b&n but my nc isnt on warranty anymore so i cant get a replacement ive looked on ebay but wasnt to convinced. Has any of you bought a cheap one that really works or is willing to sell one pls let me know.. thank you..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Search ADP-H01. Due to the same proprietary nature of the NC's charging cable that causes it to break so easily in the first place, about $20 is the best you are gonna get from any seller you can trust.
Hi, nook color cables on eBay. Around $7 and free shipping.

I have tried two cheap off brand cables that advertised they were designed for the nook color. They were simply microUSB cables and charged but very slowly. I bought the bullet and get an authentic one from B&N and now it charges so much faster.
Just bought one of these on ebay for $3.63, free shipping. Will give a report on its performance when it arrives.

Sorry to burst your bubble before it comes, but there's one things on the page that is a dead giveaway of it's authenticity:
Compatible With
Amazon: Kindle 2, Kindle 3 / Wi-Fi / 3G + Wi-Fi, Kindle DX
Barnes & Noble: Nook, Nook Color
BlackBerry: etc...
Click to expand...

If it's compatible with ALL of these, then it's only a micro usb cable, not the proprietary one shipped with the Nook Color.

It isn't a generic USB cable, as it has a transformer on the micro USB end and says it's a dual USB / charger cable. It probably won't charge as fast as the OEM cable, but it's better than nothing.

A powered USB hub should work Just test it out, the worst thing that could happen is that it will boot stock image, just pull the power to stop it.
Hey guys.
I'm in NYC for a few days and I'm looking for an OTG cable, powered or not. At best buy and at radioshack they look at me like I'm asking for the impossible. I'll be in towns until Tuesday, and I'd like to ask if anyone knows a store where I could buy this cable.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say, I have yet to see a powered OTG cable in a retail store, even my geeky local "has a majority of stuff Monoprice carries" store does not have this particular type of cable.
If B&H Photo/Video has these in stock, it should work (but it'll cost more than getting the OTG cable on eBay)
Pioneer DJC-WeCAi 2.6' DJ Controller Cable - $29.00
Neutrik NAUSB-B USB Female Type-A to Type-B Converter - $5.21 (If you can find an equivalent that's not designed for panel mount, all the better)
Comprehensive On-The-Go USB A Female to Micro USB B Male Adapter Cable (4") - $2.99
-OR- NTW USB Type A Female To Micro USB Type B 5-pin On-the-Go (OTG) Pigtail Adapter - 4" - $5.99
-OR- StarTech Micro USB Male to USB OTG Host Adapter Female (5") - $5.99
$37.20 or $40.20 (if you go with a more-expensive OTG adapter) plus tax...
more expensive than the Chromecast itself but everyone has priorities.
Connections would be:
Pioneer cable RED A (flat) end --> Chromecast wall power adapter
Pioneer cable BLACK A (flat) end --> USB OTG adapter cable
Pioneer cable B (square) end --> USB A-B converter --> plug your USB Stick in here
USB OTG adapter cable --> Chromecast
You might find the right parts to get this cheaper, you just need to plan it out in your head. I was just sticking with stuff B&H has since they're in NYC.
Thanks,
I was planning a visit to B&H, but now it became mandatory.
I'll try the one from #3. I could wait until I get home, but can't leave NYC without rooting or bricking my Chromecast, in my hotel room.

Just so we're 100% clear, you'll need 3 total pieces to make it work - the Pioneer cable, the USB A female to B female adapter, and one of the OTG cables.
I also hope you've already checked your serial number against the rootable serial numbers and you know that the hotel's TV may not have HDMI enabled, and even if it does, its WiFi probably won't allow Chromecast to work.
If you brought your own wireless router, then you only have to deal with the TV though. Actually, if possible, I would take everything you need
with you to B&H. If you explain what you're trying to do, they might let you borrow an input on one of their TVs - then you won't have to worry about the hotel TV being locked, unless you already know it's not.
Good luck!
Just to add these cables are usefull for more than just hacking a Chromecast.
I use one to connect Hard Drives to my Xoom (Tablet) since my ROM supports OTG.
Sn are 3920 3921 3922, this shouldn't be a problem. Ref cables I'll take a look at the links later at the hotel. Thanks for your input.

Here is a Google Spreadsheet of what compatible and what's not.

I've heard all about these 'compatible' cables, in fact I have one of the unsupported/out-of-spec cables and it seems to work fine. What are the consequences of me continuing to use this cable?

Cable or charger but not the phone? I thought with all this USB type c stuff it was suppose to 'intelligently' calibrate chargers and devices to prevent damage or an I thinking of something else?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
yes when it's USB-C to USB-C, not when it's USB-C connector to USB-A which does not conform to USB-C specs. Makes sense?
Yeah OK that makes sense. Just seems like a step backwards in regards to acquiring and using cables. I'll now be hesitant of using any USB A-C cables that are are unknown or cannot be tested at the time.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I have an USB B to C adapter (2 pack) from D&K which, according to this app says it is fine, but according to the google doc's spreadsheet it does not meet the requirements. Hmmmm.....
My Orly 4 pack of USB A to C does not register as compliant which agrees to the spreadhsheet of compatible products. Wonder how accurate this app is????
Quick question!!! If the cable is not safe to recharge the cable is it safe to only transfer file into the phone ?

Good question. I'm not sure if its safe or not but I did transfer some files from my laptop to my 6p with no issues. But as soon as I found out that the cable was not compatible I stop using it. Didn’t want to damage the USB port on my laptop.
I bought two cables from amazon and one of them is probably out of spec - it rapid charges my 6p. But given its purpose (to quickly charge my phone from my anker power bank) I like the extra speed in charging. Any real harm in using it? The power bank is qc2.0 compliant so its used to having a large draw on it.

Thanks for this.
I bought a generic cable from eBay. I checked both the supplied USB a to C cable with the phone and the generic one. Both cables passed the test. However after about 3 weeks I ran the test again, now it is showing me both Google and the generic one fail the test.
