You can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have a Microsoft 6000 bluetooth keyboard and a Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse. They both work fantastic on the A100. I bought a micro HDMI cable and now when I hook everything up to a big screen TV it is awesome.
Update: I'm not saying I use it this way. I'm just saying that you can and it works great. I actually bought the BT mouse and keyboard to use with my laptop.

Why on earth would you do that? If you absolutely need a keyboard for your tablet, they make a special tablet with a built in keyboard. They're called laptops.
And yeah, you can connect keyboard and mice through Bluetooth. Personally I prefer a nice clean design, over an unsightly USB port on the side, but to each their own I guess...

to connect to your computer to manage files.

A better question would be, can you use a USB OTG cable and a modded powered USB hub to connect devices? I know this is the case with my Motorola Atrix.

I bought a nokia USB OTG cable, and it is not working, at the moment

On the Atrix you have to mod a USB Hub to provide +5VDC somehow. I'm not sure of the specifics.

Double post I know, but here's the related Atrix thread. It would appear that the Atrix may have a USB Host port, this may not work on the Iconia A100 sadly...

Galaxy S III as a PC

Hi guys,
is it possible to connect SIII to TV, mice and keyboard at once? Is there a dock out there to make this possible? Will the mice AND keyboard work through Bluetooth when I connect the SIII to TV via MHL adapter?
Thanks in advance.

does the phone get power trough the mhl->hdmi adapter?
Hi all,
Can somebody confirm that it works and use mhl and bluetooth keyboard and mice? Did someone found dock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes it works but you need a standalone Bluetooth keyboard/mouse as the hdmi will use the micro sd slot so no dongle.
The hdmi has a slot for the phone charger- in fact it won't work without it
What about a dock? Did anybody found one with hdmi or micro usb output so J can connect mhl kabel?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Probably too early the cables only been available for a few weeks. Just dont get anything compatible with s2 as samsung changed the hdmi pin arrangement on s3.
Or you can wait for the allshare cast dongle then you can use usb hub with an OTG setup

Hi,
can you pls explain more in details?
Thank you
The setup he means is to use the accesory that Samsung will sell (dont know when), to cast your phone screen to your HDTV (up to 1080p) called "all cast share dongle", this connection is wireless so you will be able to connect a keyboard, mouse and HD...using a USB hub and a USB OTG cable.
hey,
since i found everything needed at home to use the s3 as a pc, i posted this up on my blog. it should help you understand a little more i think.
i also made some pics.

Nice, that is what I am talking about
Is it possible to somehow adjust the resolution on the monitor, because it is just a big copy of your mobile screen.
If it is possible to make the icons smaller? I want to use my phone for browsing and I dont want huge panel in the browser.
thx
Lukas
not really. but for browsing u can use a browser which uses full screen like the stock one, and request desktop sites.

OTG USB

Just bought a usb otg cable but the results are a bit of a let down:
- The main purpose of using it to play nova using ps3 command worked flawlessly, but the experience with storage hasn't been the best.
- Some Kingston stick work at first try while another Kingston stick doesn't work at all and the 1T wd passport drive isn't recognized (even with ntfs software in the phone)
What do you think? Can it be from the cable? Is it possible that is a matter of power drainage?

well, for harddrives, they NEED to be powered externally... if that helps.

make sure that your sticks and drives are in FAT32 otherwise some procedure have to be made, google up how to do it.
Me too, was disappointed with the OTG and the ability to use Generic Game Controller as ordered to play Dead Trigger, luckily it was just a $2 cable...
Almost everything could be set but the 'button to move the player' which should be set to the left analogue control, this game can't do it.
The problem is that the hard drive is USB charged. Can I add extra juice to the usb otg by using a splitter and add a charger to it?

you could try. do you have a powered USB hub? the S3 can't supply enough power to spin up a harddrive.

You could buy a USB OTG controller. You plug it in to the 30 pin port on your tab and then just plug in whatever USB you want. If you buy a powered USB hub, you could plug in the hub to the tablet and then both devices into the hub. It would have to be a powered usb hub, though. As the note doesn't have the power to run it normally. Without the hub, you could get either a keyboard or a mouse in, depending what you'd like. Although, bluetooth mouses are dirt cheap on places like amazon. Same with bluetooth keyboards made for android. Just go and search about places like ebay and amazon for them. Or, the method I stated first - USB OTG and a powered USB hub. Although, it may be more costly depending on what you find.
I suggest you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It's much comfortable and convenient to use. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for input and OTG for usb and others.

USB Hub with OTG Cable

Hey:
Is anyone us a multi-port usb hub with their OTG cable?
I tried to use a normal otg cable that is micro USB to USB 2.0. It never detects the USB drive and I can't seem to mount the drive either. USB debugging is enabled in the developer settings. Any tips to get this to work?
Thanks!

Mine works only when in recovery and after I mount it.
I haven't used a multiport

Any chance that this will be fixed in the next nightlies? It seems like quite a few people have problem with USB OTG.

I have one of those OTG cables from when I had another device that could use it, never considered trying it on my H1 with a thumb drive as external storage.
Can anyone confirm that the HTC ONE (M7) will charge via the OTG a cable while using SD function. If someone has successfully done that which cable was used.
Would like to use my SD while keeping the phone charged.
