EDIT: At least one person has claimed one or both of these cables did not work for them.

Did you test either of these?

I would caution against the top one. It puts a great deal of torque on the onboard micro usb. I would recommend the bottom one with the flexible cord.

Just ordered both of these. Hopefully one will arive within the next week as I really want to try this hack!

I ordered both sets, at $1-2 each delivered.. Asked roebeet if nokia made a difference but hasn't replied. There is that option at DX, but I didn't buy that one.

I bought the Nokia CA-157 cable from ebay. Turns out it has a squared off 'A' micro USB connector which doesn't fit. It has to be a 'B' connector (non-square) to fit the Xoom. I didn't even know there were different types! Ah well it didn't cost much. I just ordered this one instead.

you star footboydog, I was looking at getting a cable from china, but this looks like the one, and cheep too! Thanks

Thought you guys might be interested in my "little" project...
I'm trying to create a home-brew microusb thumb drive for the Xoom.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/366733#366733
I'll post the updates and pics as soon as I get the parts. In the mean time if you're looking for an OTG adapter, the ones I found on eBay might be what you're looking for. And you don't have to pay to ship in bulk from China ;-)

Pretty good idea...would definitely like to see if this works.

I just received the one I ordered. It works with the wireless keyboard that came with my Acer Revo nettop PC which is very nice! Even the following keys work:
Media playback controls (play/pause, volume etc controlled with Fn and function keys together)
Fn-F4 works as the home key
The right click button to the right of the space bar brings up the menu in the top right (at least in the browser).
The search button (Fn-F2) brings up the search bar
Ctrl-T opens a new tab
Esc seems to map to "Stop" in the browser but back everywhere else
Caps lock and shift
Tab key tabs between text fields
Arrow keys navigate in browser and home screens
Unfortunately it seems to think I have a US keyboard (@ and " are swapped).
P.S. I am unrooted

You will find specifics for your keyboard layout in system/usr/keylayout and system/usr/keychars. Since it's taken me a long time to gather all this information I'll post something more detailed soon!

I'm really keen to get one of these OTG adapters, especially now that the official update is in the wild for usb support.
This is the type I am looking for
http://www.meritline.com/micro-usb-type-b-male-to-usb-a-female-cable-black---p-62877.aspx
It was mentioned in the OP I think.
I can't buy from them, as they won't ship to South Africa.
And the others look dodgy like they will put strain on the usb port, as was mentioned earlier in this thread.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Cheers

Anyone check if Monoprice makes an OTG cable? I'll check when I get back home.

Asked this in another thread, but it looks dead now.
Anyone know whether the xoom USB cable or any microUSB cables have OTG integrated into them? If so, maybe we could just use USB female to female adapters? What if the USB female to female is a crossover cable? I did a bunch of research on USB OTG, but it looks like most manufacturers don't use the sticker even if the cable has OTG capability.
Please don't answer if your answer is "I think so" or "probably not"... That kills me on forums...

Ha Ha, I just asked the same thing on a different thread.
USB OTG fun
So, obviously I'm also curious about this.
I might go ahead and buy a female to female to try it out, they should be quite cheap. And I'm sure I will find more uses for it if it doesn't work for this application. Will let you know when I have tried it, assuming I have received the update by then.

Ordered this cable on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250817547531#ht_4462wt_905
Thanks to advice from a guy on the other thread that I mentioned.
It was really cheap and they are shipping all the way to SA for free.
Oh, slack04, the standard usb cable that comes with the Xoom won't work for OTG using a female to female on the other end, as far as I understand it.
As far as I know, the 5th wire on the micro B side will be disconnected so that it knows that it is the slave, so even with a female to female, it won't kick into host mode, but it is my opinion that a simple hack (again suggested by others in the above thread) where you connect pin 5 to pin 4 on the standard cable, will enable OTG and then it will work with the female to female.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Has anyone received the flexible connector in the OP yet? I want to find a known working OTG cable and it seems next to impossible.
Edit: When the blazes will Verizon, etc. start carrying these. I don't get why they wouldn't. They would likely sell them for $25 and make a killing from it.

Nope, sorry, they were out of stock when I last checked, and wouldn't ship to my country, so I didn't get it.

Get em now.

Greetings all. Just picked up a 10.1 from a local BB. super excited to open it up in a couple of hours.
As far as accessories, can someone verify that the travel charger and the usb cable that came with the 7" galaxy tablet will work with this 10.1" as well?
Any recommended place to get these two from?
cellphoneshop seems to be the place to get some cheap $3-$5 chargers and usb cables.
any other sites?
I refuse to pay the obscene $20 and $35 that samsung is charging for the cables and chargers....
thanks

I believe the 7" tab stuff will work. I'm going to confirm that today after work.

Sigh, If thats the case then by tab is going straight back to best buy in a week

The 7 inch tab stuff works fine on the 10.1. The usb adapter is backorder at samsung and does not appear anywhere else.

I went to my local Best Buy this weekend and saw a space for USB connection kit on the shelf. The sales guy couldn't find it in the internal system or on their website though. The SKU was 2837365 and he said it was an accessory previously discontinued for the 7" tab that is coming back for both. Not sure if anybody else saw this. I think I saw someone else posted they saw the same thing at another website forum too.

Yes it will, one of the features of honeycomb is the ability to do USB hosting. I haven't bought it yet, but I believe the keyboard dock has USB ports. Now I don't have any reports saying that anyone has tried it out yet, but thats what I wouldlook in to

It does NOT have USB ports but does have a pass-through of the 30-min Samsung Connector they "claim" allows you to use the USB -or- HDMI adapters. I have neither to test this but I have the keyboard dock and there is only the 30-min and a headphone jack.

USB Adapter Review

I went to Best Buy and happened to pick up the very last USB adapter. I got it with a ShopKick $5 discount so it came out to about $16 with tax. My first impression was that the box was much smaller than I expected. It was about the size of my Droid.

}
I preceded to open it up and noticed how much smaller it was than I expected.
The first thing I plugged in was my usb wireless mouse.
My Tab recognized it right away and gave me a nice message saying it worked and now I had a cursor on the screen. Everything worked on the mouse except for the right mouse button, but I kind of expected that.
The next thing I tried was my Droid. It gave me an error saying that it was too high powered to work, which is a bummer, but I can still transfer between the two with bluetooth even if it takes a little while to set up.
Finally I tried a usb drive with a track by Deadmau5 because I knew that that song was not in my library or my Google Music library. Sure enough it showed up in my Music app, but I couldn't find it in Astro File Manager. There was a folder for "usbdrive", but when I opened it, it was empty.
Overall Opinion
I was expecting the adapter to be about twice the size, but was quite happy to find that it was smaller. It seems to work with many devices, but it is maddening when you get the "too high powered device" error. It was also a very tight fit to fit a USB device into the end and you had to use quite a bit of force to plug stuff in. I feel like the overall plug itself fits very loose though in the Tab and that bothers me. It's just too bad Samsung couldn't have fit it inside the tab
7/10
Pros:
Small
Allows many usb devices
Adds more functionality
Cons:
It fits into the Tab loosely
Expensive at $19.99 for what it is
Doesn't work with high powered devices

Thanks for the review... was planning on buying it, but maybe I'll hold off for a bit.

I would recommend it, it's just kind of expensive for what it is.

We need a version of this that allows a USB power. I know it's another thing to plug in but it would save from needing to carry/plug in a powered USB hub just to use an external HD.

I got mine for 10 dollars after a 10 dollar RZ coupon from Best Buy. Everything I've plugged into it works so far (Mouse, Keyboard, Logitech USB Controller, different thumb drives). I have no complaints.
Of interest is that the Engrish directions state that you need to plug whatever USB device into the adapter first, and then plug the adapter into the Tab, or else risk damaging the Tab. Not too sure why.

I don't have a Logitech wireless keyboard, but I've used my Anywhere MX mouse's micro receiver with it successfully. It's one of the "unifying" ones that's supposed to work with their current gen keyboards.

question?
can you connect to it a 2 into one usb adapter? That way you can charge the tablet and have any type of usb device connected?
Will that work?

Sorry it took me so long to respond. As it looks right now, I'd say yes. When I inserted an NTFS formatted flash drive in said "usb storage black or unsupported filesystem" on pershoots kernel with no cifs.

It is $2.99 by the way.

I've had it for almost a year now. Used it with Tab 10.1 and use it with Note 10.1

No hard drive
I have these adapters and can't run a hard drive. You get an OS message about the device using too much power.

Yes, you can connect an HDD, but it requires external power and that had been mentioned a dozen times at least.

Its probably not this, as you say the light comes on, but i had the other adapter thats on this thread, which i thought was a dud, at first until i realised that i had'nt pushed the connector all the way in, it takes a deceptive amount of pressure, so might be worth ruling that one out.

Well I just inserted a microsd card in the sd card adapter and stuck it into the Graybean hub and it automatically recognize the card, opened up the file manager. I selected the Weird Al yankovic video I had on the card and it played without fail and without studder.
I then attached the Logitech Wireless Touchpad dongle to the Graybean and it immediately recognize the touchpad mouse.
I then inserted another sdcard reader and another microsd card and both show up in the file manager.

USB "filter", make USB ports look like high power chargers... it works

Recently bought this adapter from amazon, a mfg named +pwr. It makes your lower power (computer and non samsung ac adapter) usb ports look like full power ports. Using it removes the red X from the charging icon and also allows the device to draw the max power available on the port - it's not going to magically make a 1 amp usb port draw 2 amps - but it will allow the device to draw max instead of a lower rate due to low power charging mode.
I've tested this on my PC, in my car and on an older Samsung ac adapter.
Well worth the 5 bucks I'd say. I'm planning to get one for each of my charge points and leave them installed.

Just be careful. There are adapters out there that were of an older design, primarily for the issue with iOS devices. Those won't work (you'll still see the red x). The one from Amazon works (I've tested it) but I can't comment on others. I'd suggest making sure that it at least explicitly states newer Samsung devices to be safe.

I don't suppose anyone knows of anyone in the UK doing these ? They are quoting 6-8 weeks for delivery to UK.
I've done a quick search, but am wary of knock-offs as OP rightly warned about. Would like to get something like this that people have tried and tested, but would prefer not to have to wait 2 months to get it !

Its by the same company. Think itll be the same?

The one from Amazon works (I've tested it) but I can't comment on others. I'd suggest making sure that it at least explicitly states newer Samsung devices to be safe.

The company PWR+ is selling these direct on eBay for 5.90 with free shipping. On amazon you have to pay 4.99 for shipping.

I don't suppose anyone knows of anyone in the UK doing these ? They are quoting 6-8 weeks for delivery to UK.
I've done a quick search, but am wary of knock-offs as OP rightly warned about. Would like to get something like this that people have tried and tested, but would prefer not to have to wait 2 months to get it !

Not quite the same as this fits on the other end, but if you have a micro USB cable it works perfectly. Tried and tested on a standard USB charger, PC and laptop. Arrived in two days.

There's some resistors between the VBus+/GND and the shorted D+/D- lines that Samsung uses to make their chargers proprietary. See here.

Using this adapter - would it be possible to connect a portable HDD to the Note 10.1, without the use of a powered USB hub?

No, in fact this adapter eliminates all USB data connections.
