[Q] USB adapter in the UK?

Has anyone in the UK found somewhere to buy the USB adapter? I've had a good search but can't find anything, and there doesn't seem to be one listed on the UK Samsung site.

What about kirfs from china? I've seen one for 4 quid on ebay and it says it will work...

It's gone now ;/

Thanks Matt - will check it out.
Anyone else?

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-con...-10-1-30-pin-to-usb-30-pin-to-sd-slot-219891/

Thank you - ordered one and it says it will be in stock in 2 days. Will report back and let you know when it turns up.

just in case http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-usb-connection-kit

Wow, that's half the price of expansys. Neither have it in stock at the moment - expansys lead time has gone up to 4 days :-(

It is $19.99 in the US which is about £12.50 so expansys are taking the mickey.

Yes they are a bit - we normally pay the dollar amount in pounds which is enough of an insult, expansys are really rubbing it in.
On the plus side - just got a dispatch notice from them so at least it seems like I will get it this week

I checked expansys tonight the dufference being clove is just the usb adaptor where as expanys is both a usb and a sdcard one just ordered myself one

Good spot! Happy again now

Ordered from Expansys

And arrived - top marks for expansys!

Can i use my SdCards with this adapter ?
i don´t see any holes for these

Yes - there are 2 separate adapters, one for USB and one for full size SD cards. The expansys link above is for a kit that provides both adapters. The clove link is to the USB adapter only.

Sorry for the weird request but can you take a picture with the adapter in the tab 10.1. I would like to see a size comparison.

Thumbs up for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I don't understand why you need a jig to do this, I am guessing this will be possible via sync cable soon enough.

Is there a way via adb?

whats so special about this USB "JIG"? What makes it turn on the phone to specifically reset the binary count?

For you cheap fools like me
300k ohm resistance between pins 4 & 5 also does the trick.
i happened to have a couple spare usb cables and resistors. and can confirm 300k ohm resistance measured with my trusty cheapo ohmeter between pins 4&5 resets the counter and throws the device into update mode.

Hell, my time is worth more than $2... I'd have to drive to Tanner to pick up the resistor (They're the only place I buy such sundries, and I'm pretty sure I don't have a 300k Ohm resistor in the tool kit, and they're 20 minutes from work) and then break down a micro usb cable and solder it together. Pass.... $2 from eBay and I'm golden.

Wurrrrd! I paid $3 from a US seller on Amazon. I ordered it Sunday night and here it is in the mail already and already reset my counter. Priceless! Can't think of any reason to go about the fuss of trying to rig one up when you can get one shipped to your home for the price of a bottle of water.

Xoom Accessories at Staples

All xoom accessories are on clearance/sale at staples. I picked up the standard dock for $25. They also had the wall charger for $15. I don't remember the price of the other accessories.

I bought and returned the HD dock. The Staples web site claims it has three USB ports and of course it has none. So I returned it and got the standard dock instead.

I have both and use them everyday. It sounds like you got a good deal.

I use my dock and moto case daily. Thanks for posting though! Have a friend that wanted both.

I just checked at my local Staples and everything is still full price.

Check online...seems like they got them reduced already...
Cheers

I went by a local staples last night and they had the wall and car chargers for 5.50 each.

I just purchased the HD Speaker Dock and Standard Wall Charger (dog chewed the original) at Staples.com.
The total was $79.98 so I purchased (for $1.75) a $25 off $75 purchase coupon from this site:
http://www.sderclub.com/staples/
That brought the total down to $54.98. I also happened to have a $5.00 Staples Rewards coupon to bring it down to $49.98. Shipping is free this week and factoring in tax and the cost of the coupon...
Final total: $54.73
Not bad.

Local Staples has car and wall chargers for $5.50, but did not update price tags, so if you see full price or anything else, ask them to scan them for you.

That's very true about the unchanged prices. I just went to Staples and picked up a wall charger for $5.50, still marked as $15.

Official MHL adapter a little cheaper at least.

http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...-hdmi-adapter-microusb-to-11-pin-hdmi-231991/
$29.99 is better than $39.99 I guess.
I personally wouldn't trust buying knockoffs that are less than $14.99 so I bit the bullet and just got the official.

Does this do exact mirroring? So if browse or play a game it will show up on the screen? B/c im waiting for the Wifi Display Hub to be released

At least it's not $40 now...I actually, since I have 3 'old' MHL adapters in the house, ordered a samsung adapter so the S3 will work on those adapters. It was only $15. I have not received it yet so can not confirm it will work, but it 'should' do the trick.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one

Yeah it will, its an adapter so you can use HDMI cords.
Note: Some people have been saying the wireless dongle will prolly have some kind of latency, fine for movies but for games might be affected (Not proven yet though)

Yeah I saw it on amazon first too but the shipping looked to be too much so I just went to expansys-USA and saw it there.
I upgraded my shipping to 3-5days for $4.99 which is $2 cheaper than through Amazon only.
But nonetheless that's my impatience's fault that I paid $34.99 not the items since there is free shipping, I'm just not willing to wait the extra 4-5 days lol

$19 Qi Charger That Works Great!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.

I think its better to add a few bucks and get this: http://www.amazon.com/Okeler-Wireless-Charging-Charger-Samsung/dp/B00EXLZIF4/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_d_7
much better looking

Round or rectangle, its just a personal preference.
I wouldn't mind a small super shallow one for my carholder.

Yea..or. You can buy the Nokia DT-900 Qi Plates from a known company with history for $25 shipped new in box on ebay all day long.
And unlike either of those it comes with both a AC Adapter and cable and does not ship from China.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone but they are all probably made in china.

This is where I got mine, he sold 17 of them new for $25 shipped.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111213515011
I also did some searching and seems there are a bunch for $30 right now. If you check back ever few days you'll def be able to nab one for around $25 or maybe even less. There's a ton of them out there since they came free with Lumia purchases. I don't think I've seen any for 70 dollars, seems the highest is around 40.

here's the AT&T link, I bought 3 of these a month or so back. Deal still looks active.

they give you 10% off each when you buy 2 and 25% off each when you buy 3.

I work for AT&T and the Nokia DT-900 is currently 50% off. It's not advertised and I didn't even know about it until I scanned it and saw it. Lucky me I get an added 40% discount. I'm not into wireless charging, but for only $15 I'll take it!

Getting back to the Lerway... I own one and it's a pretty decent charger. Not too finicky about positioning and appears to charge as fast as hardwired. It's actually a rubberized plastic which I didn't realize from the pictures, this compliments the N5 quite nicely.
But, if you can get a Nokia for 5 bucks more, don't be stupid, go for the Nokia.

I have two Nokia Qi chargers, one at work and one at home. They're great with the Nexus 5, no problems at all.
ONE WARNING THOUGH: The DT-900 use a proprietary charging cord. Not micro USB. Don't get the DT-900 for use in your car, it won't work!
They make a car charger, with a one piece cord that plugs into a car cigarette charger, but that is the CR-200 and will cost you more than the on-sale prices people have posted.

I have mentioned it few times now but the one in eBay is 10 dollars and change and works great . nice packaging too and ships fast . that's what I use every night.
