I found this Nokia cables for N8, and they are cheaper than Samsung cables, and i wonder if someone tested them?
Nokia Adapter for HDMI CA-156
Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157
HDMI one does not work.
Don't know about the other, but I think others have already posted about it in the existing threads on the topic (try searching).
I got an N8 before, and both cables doesn work, also the micro-USB to USB doesn't fit in.
I have an N8 but the S II hasnt reached yet. The HDMI wont work since it's not an MHL link. But the OTG should work but hyperX says it doesnt.
I got the OTG one. In theory it should work fine but unfortunately it's not micro USB :-(

yes the microusb on the nokia cable cannot fit into normal microusb slots.
however you can FILE the connector alittle and it will fit.
My wife has the N8 and it's microUSB to USB fits fine in my S2. I haven't tried the other cables.
There are two different MicroUSB types:-
SGS2 uses Micro USB B, and both cables are cheaply available on Ebay.
Paid abot £3 pound for mine which came from China.
I had previously bought one advertised for Nokia N8 and when it came it was Micro USB A - and DID NOT fit - so take care

It's the 5-pin one.
It's actually stated on the Desire's specs page on HTC.com
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desire/specification.html
Edit: My bad! As mentioned by below posters, it should be 5-pin micro USB

Both of the linked cabled say they're mini-USB, I'm fairly sure the Desire uses "Micro" USB (Even smaller ).
Still waiting on my Desire to arrive, but the HTC site says micro too.
neither will fit, as above you need micro usb leads.
i just bought a couple of blackberry data ones from ebay (very cheap)
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_..._nkw=micro+usb+data&_sacat=See-All-Categories
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-CA-101-Micro-Data-Cable/dp/B000U6QPFI
I bought 2 of these ones and they seem to be pretty good. Even having a built in clip to wind up the cable.
I confirm, Nokia CA-101D cable is working fine with Desire
bought a blackberry data cable for my desire off ebay for 99p brand new free postage , came in a few days and works fine.
My advice search ebay for
MICRO USB DATA CABLE
highlight buy it nows
then click lowest price first, then thats where i found my 99pencer lol
I bought a cheap alternative usb cable to leave in work for charging, it lasted about 3 days till it packed in, same happened to a cheaper lead a mate bought.
Ive got loads of converters , eg the black berry ones... a few quid there fine ...
I posted in another thread about cables compatible with the SG2 and ended up answering my own question when I found one in my box of cables.
See attached for photos if you want to be sure.
Part number 5457 (USB to SG2 connector) is the cable that I have and can confirm that the micro-B type from Monoprice is the same as used on the SG2.
I have a thread on USB OTG cables, already some around that are very cheap and work
be very interested to hear about the other cable there though!
Yeah, the hdmi cable seems to be the one people are looking/waiting for.
I will update the OP once it gets in. If this thread gets buried to far by then, I can send you a pm instead of bumping the thread if you like.
That'd be great, although I expect lots of others will appreciate the bump if it is to confirm they work!

exactly...
Meh, they don't ship to Italy S:
Looking at what they say further they are talking about it connecting a Droid X to your television, and the close up shots of the micro-end of this cable do not resemble a micro USB particularly. I think these won't work.
dude, there is no HDMI, micro HDMI or MICRO USB to HDMI port on this phone, its MHL, dont waste your money on that cable.
Your posted HDMI cable will NOT work as it is micros-HDMI to HDMI and not MicroUSB to HDMI as needed on the SDS2.
The cables were cheap enough that I just ordered a few different ones to try out and see if they worked. With all the gadgets I end up buying, the ones that do not work with the phone will come in handy eventually for something else anyway.
Since there is more interest, I will bump the thread once I find out if the other cables I bought work fro the HDMI.
I got my cables in and can confirm that both the micro and mini HDMI cables are not the same end as the Samsung (micro-usb).
I did contact them, and they stated they are working on making a micro-usb to HDMI cable. There is no eta on availability however. I can let you know when I see them in stock if you like because the prices on these cables are pretty high elsewhere right now and will wait until some cheaper ones are released.
anyone knows if this adapter works with galaxy sII?
I think so. Try and Google galaxy s2 usb on the go. There was a test video with a Nokia kable.

If I didn't remember properly, CA-157 has a Micro usb A connector. S2 is using USB B
iirc the CA-157 USB OTG cable has a microUSB A connector while the GSII has a microUSB B port. Won't work unless you trim the corners.
Just get the $2 for 2 USB OTG adaptors w/ free shipping from dealextreme.
i see... thanks all for replying!
I have on that works perfect on sgs2, reads sd cards/thumb drives/ and can use wireless mouse, and someone said they used a keyboard.

It's not going to work. MicroUSB A plugs are not going to fit into a microUSB B port unless you trim the corners.
I'm guessing that's what the guy in the video did.

I have the Nokia cable that comes with Nokia E7 and i can assure it DOES NOT work!
the shape of the port itself is different and it won't fit into the galaxy s2 port.
Different Types...
There are two different types of nokia cable. One for the N900 or N810 and the other for others (known as CA-157) the only way to get a working cable for the SGS2 that is supposedly for Nokia is an unofficial (ebay...) micro-usb b so basically the N900 and N810 and a few others. Unfortunately Nokia have modified the ports slightly on their phones so they support the official Nokia cables (that only work on Nokia phones) and the unofficial MicroUsb Gender-X (depending on what the phone is.
This rules out all official Nokia cables and all Cables designed for Micro USB A Phones.
I got some MicroUSB OTG adapters from dealextreme and they work fine. Tested them with my 16GB thumbdrive and my Logitech unified mouse & keyboard dongle. Funny having a mouse cursor on my SGSII.

I have that cable for my S2 and all i had to do is trim corners..works flawlessly
Can you please share what kernel / ROM you guys are using? I got an adapter which works great with USB memory and wired USB mice, however, my wireless mouse does not show up and hooking up a wired keyboard hangs the phone hard and I have to pull the battery.
I tried Sensation by Crysis 1.9 (kernel is SpeedMod) and WanamLite 5.7 (kernel is Siyah 2.1) same results on both. Planning to try MadMack 2.2 tonight as its closest to stock. If the adapter was bad, it should not have worked with memory or wired mouse either.
Will appreciate any pointers in this regard.
EDIT:
I also tried CF-Root kernel as it is nearly stock, checked lsusb and dmesg outputs, lsusb is always correct but dmesg show kernel logs which are problematic. My wireless mouse is detected as keyboard (wrong), another wireless keyboard / mouse combo is detected as composite device (correct) but get error -104 while activating, wired keyboard gets detected but crashes something in the kernel, I also used 51-android.rules but not sure if it helps because /etc/udev did not even existed and I had to create it.
<4>[ 68.820948] generic-usb: probe of 0003:09DA:054F.0002 failed with error -104
Now as all of these devices work perfectly on my Iconia on Honeycomb I guess an ICS upgrade for S2 should bring similar results, so can only use mass storage till then
I bought these on ebay. The HDMI is short but worked but when I connect both cables to lapdock, the USB is not being recognized so the keyboard/mouse is not working. I want this just to act as an extension so I can use full lapdock abilities with cables. Any idea what's going on (cable charges on plug but does not charge on lapdock)? Maybe someone has better usb cables.

i don't think it will work either way, tried a few things like this with no avail.
why wouldn't they? Cheap build quality that doesn't include the data wires? Hell I'll be willing to splice two cables together to get our desired effect, the only problem is that cords with a female micro usb are incredibly hard to come by
So that is what you think it is? No data on the usb cables.

the only reason that is my suspicion is because there are many "charging" products out there that don't really need data. Why there would be a need for such a small charging extension cable is beyond me, but it's the only solution I can think of, but I have no way of confirming or denying it either. The ebay descriptions seem to imply that the data wires are there, but we all know how reliable ebay can be...
Another idea I had was that it might be sensing the resistance in the cable, since, if I remember correctly, that was how some think/though the car dock puts the atrix into car mode without a magnet as is/was commonly used. Again these are just ideas.
Or the cable is just so poorly made that it's defective...I honestly have no clue
Has anyone got full lapdock capabilities using extension cables? I can only get the screen working and not the mouse and keyboard.
The HDMI extender was the hard one to find. There are other micro USB extenders out there, theoretically with all wires connected....
http://www.usbfirewire.com/uextendmicrob.html
Kind of makes me wish i hadn't hacked up my lapdock to work with the Otterbox
Where did you get your HDMI extender? I got mine from All4Cellular but it's quite short. Will have to get another HDMI one if the usb cable you recommended works.

before I read that post, I was looking around the forums and the web yesterday well into the night. here are some of the things I've found that might be relevant to everyone (and it might possibly be cheaper, though more diy).
Micro USB stuff:
I have no idea why this exists http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-...r-cable-for-blackberry-9900-black-30cm-107901
I have no idea why this only has 4 pins http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9614

Here's what I am thinking about doing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140626354628#ht_2821wt_1177 or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-HDMI-...ultDomain_0&hash=item415eac6dc0#ht_2821wt_980
http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Female-M...YPB4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329854686&sr=8-2
then the hdmi cable that came with our phone:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Stan...QTA8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1329854856&sr=8-8
The HDMI certainly looks like it may work but the reason I didn't buy that product from ebay a few weeks ago was because it was $50. Now miraculously, it's only $6. Maybe I'll get that if the USB cable I just bought that was suggested works a few posts back.

This micro usb extension cord explicitly states that all 5 wires are connected (compatible with droid bionic for the purpose of docking with a case on the phone):

The HDMI cable seems to work. On the lapdock, with just the HDMI cable hooked up, it functions like it was it's an entertainment center.
The USB cord will need to be modified a little bit. I can't get it to seat right on the USB jack of the dock. I'll need to shave it down a bit as it doesn't sit down snugly.

I ordered the USB cable and experience this same problem, though I am waiting for my hdmi parts to come in (by April 6th I should have all my parts...). The cable itself works flawlessly as a micro usb extension cable when connecting it to the computer.
again as mentioned in the other thread, you want to be careful with the 5v coming out that micro hdmi port. for connecting back to your phone would be no issue, as the phone charges using this voltage, but hooking the lapdocks micro usb up to a host device probably wont appreciate the 5v coming back up the cable, where normally the usb device would be pulling power from said host, not providing it.
one suggestion is to just clip the red wire inside your micro usb cable/adapter.
btw the adapters i use do fit snugly side by side, without modification.
I've been following this thread for a little while now, and I wanted to share something I found.
I was looking at the Motorola Travel Webtop adapter. And I was curious to see whether it could be tweaked to suite our needs. I naively thought/hoped that I could flip the connectors in the device to make a small adapter to connect the Atrix to newer Lapdocks. Unfortunately as you can see in the pictures below (sorry not enough posts to link to the pictures) the two connectors are connected via a PCB not wires or a ribbon cable. Although I still have high hopes that I can de-solder the HDMI and USB connectors, and use a small length of flat ribbon cable to connect them and then re-positions the connectors in the case, to build a micro adapter to use the Atrix on the newer Lapdocks. Should this fail this will at least prevent others from making the same mistake, and solve the mystery of what's really inside the Webtop Travel adapter.
Do any one know if this Micro HDMI Cable would work for Lapdock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Feet-HDMI...s_Adapters&hash=item416612cecb#ht_1149wt_1187
Description says for Asus tf201 MEMO ME171.
I believe all Cables are standard. Can this used to Atrix 4g with Lapdock?
I have otterbox case for Atrix and don't want to Remove cover everytime to plug in Lapdock.
I have some questions for you guys regarding USB OTG, espicially from India. I have bought 2 wrong OTG and I'm afraid to buy malfunction adapter again. I know our phone support OTG as I can use my friend's Galaxy S8 stock OTG adapter flawlessly. Will this OTG work with our phone?
MIVI Type C to USB Adapter
If not, any suggestions? And besides, I found Samsung Galaxy S8 adaptor on Ebay. But afraid to buy as the seller only have about 80% positive feedback/rating.
This adapter will work for sure. But you can always get a lower priced one. I brought this adapter in 100 rupees in local stores.
Any type c otg with USB 3.0 shall work. I also have a cheaper one that works well on my device.
