Best buy now has the usb adapter:-) - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories

Went into work today and it was finally available ...everything I tried is too high powered for it though except the USB mouse I have. Any solutions to this?

I don't have the Adapter yet but with the XOOM a powered USB hub was the old solution for high-powered accessories. Now I have to checkout my BestBuy.....thanks!!!

Yeap, I got one last weekend at BB's. Online showed they were on pre-order but when you check availability by store, they showed me which stores had them in stock.

I checked my local Best Buy here in MN about 2 days ago and there was a spot for them, but they were sold out.

Can anyone supply the Best Buy part number? I can't find any it anywhere on Best Buy's site.
Edit: I found the SKU: 2837365

I finally found one in stock as well. I have a issue with how fragile the darn thing is while connected into the tablet.
Looking for a "extension cable" solution if anyone knows there exists one (see this thread for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16283496&postcount=42
)

None of my local stores show this in stock, well one sorta close to me but not worth the drive.
There was a post about a 30-pin SD card adapter for the GT, I think I would much rather get that instead. That would save a lot of space of a thumb drive sticking out of the adapter.

I haven't seen Alfa adapters in BB. I got mine from and very happy with the result. Very powerful adapter

[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 ;/

Anyone else?

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.

[Q] Did your Epic Touch come with a HDMI/USB adapter?

Watched a few video reviews of unboxing. Some are getting the usb to hdmi adapter and some aren't. I'm wondering if this is how wirefly and letstalk are selling theirs so much cheaper. Bad business, but maybe they are taking the adapter out before shipping, and then planning on reselling it as new?? If you have the phone please list where you got it and whether you got the adapter or not.

I believe the "reviewer's devices" are the ones that come with the MHL adapter. I've read that consumer's version of the phone wont come with it. Luckily I bought mine ages ago when I had the Evo 3D.
I doubt any retailer is removing the MHL adapter. (unless you ordered your phone from Gamestop, that is).
The more likely explanation is that reviewers were also sent MHL adapters so that they could give more complete reviews. It's just a sign of the times that retail devices lack connectivity components. At least phones still come with AC adapters and USB cords (knock on wood).
I just find it strange that the box even has a compartment for it, but its empty with some of the reviews.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Looks like its not included. None of the ones in my best buy have an adapter
you can get an MHL adapter at Monoprice for like 14 dollars (i think 16 shipped). Mine is on it's way.

The empty space in the box is for the battery.

large cases for Atrix 4g and laptop and media dock issue resolved.

Hey guys....I was looking for an adapter or cables to be able to use my Ballistic case and dock at the same time and couldn't find anything. I saw on here the other day someone was also asking the same thing. But anyway I found a place called all4cellular and they have a upgrade cable kit for the docks that allow this. So now I can have any case I want and dock without having to remove the phone. Just thought I'd share what I just ordered.
Interesting. Some links to the product page(s) at all4celluar would be handy.
There's a link in another thread with these cables. They are charging $40 for them. IMO that's daylight robbery. They upped the price when they found they had a market for them. Can't link the thread atm, but its in accessories forum.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I paid 29 bucks....that is probably market for hdmi and a usb cable.
i would like to see companys figure out that yes we use cases and docks.
I found the product. It's way too expensive for a couple of wires, but here's the link:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/motorola-atrix-4g-upgrade-kit.html
Could these cables be used to connect 4g lapdock to a RAZR?
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Worth a try. I am just waiting for price drop or cheaper alternative to come up.

I was going to mention that there might be interest in these for those trying to connect the Atrix to the Lapdock 500. They've been looking for a cable set that would work.
I've also bought this two cables on e-bay from all4cellular (it was cheeper delivery from e-bay to Ukraine).
Both cables fit perfectly! They are 15cm. long. The problem of my large case was solved!

So best place to buy the MHL adapter?

I'm willing to bite for the full price of the Samsung MHL adapter just because I know the S3 has some problems without the official one. Anyone know of the best place to buy it? Amazon shows one but it ships from the UK and the one on Samsung's site is not compatible. Is it not out yet?
Anyone else picking it up?
I don't think it is out yet but yes, I might be getting one. It will be a whole lot easier surfing the web on my tv via the phone than using the clunky tv remote control.
I remember reading some post of a user buying one from ebay for about 9 bucks and it worked brilliantly.
i may take a chance on monoprice
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
I have gotten lots of good things from them including a 75ft HDMI CL2 cable for $30 shipped and a universal GPS mount that works great for any phone for like $5 shipped....and it's never been junk really, always decent quality, very happy with them over the years for any type of audio/video/cable/adapter
only thing is no way to know if it is compatible yet until someone bites, so I may do it one day soon
Well my only thing about some of the non Samsung ones is I read they don't output 1080p if that matters to you.
I emailed monoprice support about the one you linked. Will let you guys know what they say.

I personally prefer OEM items. They usually sell for around $11.
eBay, Amazon.
I already checked with Monoprice and they said that their adapter is not compatable with the S3. The Monoprice adapter is a 5 pin adapter and Samsung changed the S3 to an 11 pin adapter. There is a 5 pin - 11 pin adapter available. Most of the mhl adapters out are 5 pin and will not work with the S3. That is what I have been told. The Samsung mhl adapter is $40. You could get the Monoprice 5 pin mhl for $11 and a 5 pin - 11 pin adapter for another $10. That would work but I would personally wait for a cheaper 11 pin mhl adapter to come out than hook up multiple adapters.
constant power needed?
I was really interested in getting one of these but it looks like you will need to have an HDMI cable AND a micro USB connected to a wall socket for the MHL adapter to work... is this true, and if so, is it worth all the cable hassle?

USB is only for charging. So it will work without.
EDIT: It appears I'm wrong about that. With the Samsung MHL adapter anyway.

Yes please let us know what they tell you. I thought they flipped the pins so only the official Samsung adapter would work. If 720P works, I'd be totally fine with that...
I <3 Monoprice forever. They sell things at the price they're supposed to be sold at. Still slightly pricey, but the best one stop shop I've seen.

Its a no go with those:
" Regarding our MHL adapter and the upcoming release of the Galaxy S3 in the U.S. We have tested and confirmed that the S3 uses a different pinout in regards to MHL, so our current MHL device will not work for it. We have already put in a suggestion for a device that will fully support the new S3, and we are actively working on cases and other accessories for the S3 as well. "
We will just have to wait.

Any chance the MHL adapter also charges the phone? With 1%/min or game play, I can't imagine it will last very long during a game and outputting to TV...
Yes it charges the phone, but it also uses up about 200ma itself so make sure you've got a good charger.

Can you guys /gals recommend a good hmdi mhl adapter for the GS3.

Best option mate is the genuine samsung galaxy s3 hdmi. 99% others don't work. Trust me I made mistake and in the end I bought genuine one from Amazon for £26 well worth it

Fixed that for you. most peole are buying ones made for the s2, which does not work without an adapter. there is only 1 or 2 aftermarket S3 ones at the time of this posting.
Did anyone try this one? I'm over an hour from Microcenter so I'm hoping a sucker.....uh, I mean fellow XDA user will give it a go
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0381574
Most of MHL adapter say they fit for Note/S2/S3 and this is not possible if it does not include an extra piece (5 to 11 pins adapter), so I would only buy a non official MHL adapter for S3 if it clearly says that it only allows the S3 or/and it says it has 11 pins...
WHat is the cheapest MHL adapter that will work with the S III? And I mean one that works correctly. The official Samsung one is so crazy expensive. I wonder why no other companies have come out with one yet? Haven't they figured out the new port config?
Most MHL cables are 5-pin so those are out of the question. The only MHL cable that is 11-pin is the official $40 samsung one.
What you can do is get the $11 5-pin cable and hook it up to the $10 official samsung 5 to 11 pin converter. This way it will work the Galaxy S3 for only $21.
My local AT&T store carries the official Samsung S 3 mhl adapter but they are telling me that it doesn't do anything but play videos. The micro HDMI on my atrix 2 and my atrix HD would put whatever screen was on my phone on the TV without any translation. Can somebody who has the official adapter tell me if that's the case. If it is I'm not paying 40 bucks for it.

It mirrors everything onto Tv screen like every other MHL cable, and official network stores everywhere are all the same because most know F all about how the phones work so always check the net after they give you the "Facts"

He went on to say that mhl cable for the Samsung Infuse only worked for movies specifically. Is that much true or was he full of sh##? He didn't cross me as being very educated about android.
You can check videos on youtube by yourself to see how the MHL adapter mirrors your phone's screen in your HDTV. Most people selling tech-stuff know very few about what they 're actually selling, even support services provided by most companies like Samsung are quite useless since they do not know enough their products...
If you going to buy one get an original. I bought mine on amazon and it works perfectly.

Hi,
How's the video quality on your TV? Is it like the same when you connect a laptop?
What was the price for it?
Use it regularly with app filmon and the quality of really good, sometimes better than local television.
I paid £21 for mine on Amazon just before summer.
