Well I didn't want to explain this all so made this huge picture but it's pretty much what i want to do. Does anyone know if this will work or if there is an easier way of doing this.

It would have to be a powered USB hub. Besides that, it could work. Although, you're not likely to get much computing power out of it... meaning not much word processing or any heavy tasks, really. I'd guess that HD video would probably be out of the question. IMO you'd be better off getting a low end netbook.
Thanks! Yeah just looking to be able to go home and be able to write text with a keyboard and watch youtube videos and such. Maybe even build a docking station with a wooden box or something to hold all the wires. My biggest dilemma is the HDMI cable going through the USB hub.

Yeah, you might sacrifice a bit of resolution like that. I'm not sure you can carry 1080p through USB.
But for the basics, email, surfing, texting and youtube...I think it'd work
on the side of that mhl adaptor it looks like there is a micro usb port and a search on ebay had similar, so plug the mhl directly into the phone and then hdmi to tv/monitor and the micro usb on the side of the mhl to the usb hub.
if the above is not the case then
i would elimnate that gender adaptor coming from the hub out to the female usb to female micro usb, just get a male usb to female micro usb.
the last time i check usb hosting was not supported? pls tell me im wrong tho

Are you sure the device supports simultaneous multiple BT connections?
Also, there are more comfortable BT keyboards out there. I've got the HP, it's got the same spacing/layout as my 15" laptop.
I have simultaneous connections to my Moto S9 headset (music playing), keyboard and mouse. No problems. The music skips once when you connect another device but then everything works perfect.
A bigger keyboard would be nice but this one was cheap.
The mouse is great with android. Right mouse button goes back. Middle mouse is menu. Scroll wheel works great.

Excellent. I didn't mean to sound accusative, I just wasn't sure the multiple device support was there.
Then yeah, @the OP, I'd definitely use BT, too!!
The HP kb rocks, and I got mine (an open box display) for around $20.
This is what I want to do as well. Has anyone been able to get host mode to work with external storage on a non-ICS ROM?

Indeed a wonderful solution and I'm seriously wondering whether anyone has already tried connecting it to a standard usb keyboard?
I'm contemplating buying one (not for connecting it to a USB device but rather for using it with a usb keyboard).

I have this cable for SGS2, is this a normal converter you can buy everywhere or a specific one? Just curious.
www.Cablejive.com Has some great audio accessories, but the ones I've listed below are absolutely needed if your car is setup for iDevices and you have ANDROID.
The first converts your iPod/Iphone interface to a standard 3.5mm Audio Headphone Jack and allows for listening to your phone through an existing iPhone/iPod interface in your car or Home. ($22.96)

The second is the same thing, only it also adds a Micro USB charging solution built into the same cable. ($29.95)

Please Hit Thanks if this helps you out!
That would be handy. We have a home unit I could use this with.
Thanks!
Use code HOLIDAY15 for 15% off. Takes the total down around $5.
Yeah I originally bought the audio only version but Just ordered the combo so I'd have one less thing to take up my cigarette lighter adapters. Gonna gift the old cable as it still looks and works like brand new. P.S. they are pretty fast shipping wise as well.
I want to get this for my Volvo but not sure if it will work. My Volvo Ipod adapter plays the playlists on the ipod, and I'm able to play slacker. ANyone think this will work with a Volvo ipod kit?

They only list the VW and Audi as not Compatible. I think you'll be fine. Either way if it doesn't work it won't be hard to return or resell.
Neat, I will definitely think about getting this

Serves me right to be called a spammer lol. I switched to iPhone with the iPhone 4 and just came back to android for the Galaxy 2. Since I switched everything for iPhone I had to find a way to get my new Galaxy II hooked to all my docks and car kits I spent hundreds on. Buy or do not buy, but I have been hanging around here since 2007 and thought it was about time I contribute.

Well it ended up being at home waiting for me yesterday. I can report that with power and audio I have no feedback or noise in the background. Just clear music. I think those other systems just aren't grounded as well. Hope this helps your decision.

nice! if it only had hdmi out too. But I dont think the micro usb slot can handle otg and mhl simultaneously.
This in conjunction with the WiFi Display Hub will be fantastic.

OTG has been around for a while now....
Here's me rocking it on my S2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCrecOR34Fs&feature=g-upl
I know Samsung made the 11 pin micro USB to use MHL and OTG accessories the same time because it was impossible before, and everyone says you can't use both over a normal hub so when the Hell is Samsung gonna release an accessory to do that, because they have delays on Allshare cast, MHL converter adapter(in some countries) and you can't game on Tv with wired controller, mouse, keyboard etc until Samsung bother to release it all, I mean I'm really getting pissed off having a phone capable of so much but right now just feels like an S2 with a bigger screen.
I got the connection kit for the Galaxy S3, it is infact made for the Galaxy S2, but works perfectly fine on the Galaxy S3.
Here is a review I did of it and the MHL adaptor. Sadly they didn't work together(one can wish)
http://geektech.ie/index.php/review-galaxy-s3-accessories/
So that HDMI adapter not work with Connection kit?

Some please answer the above question. I want to use the microusb port to charge the phone and still use the other ports for mouse/keyboard/flashdrive/etc.
Also, it looks awkward to have large thing hanging off the phone so will this still work through a microusb extension cable?

Can you confirm that you can use one usb port to charge the phone while using the other port for OTG? I recently asked this question on MobileFun's video on this product and someone seemingly from the company says it can't.
http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=_SOcHFC3MnI
I am wondering if anyone has experience with these charger and sync cables that are small enough to carry on your keychain. I found a few different ones online, but I'm not sure how they perform in syncing data and wear/tear from being attached with keys. I want this cable on my everyday carry so I can use the external microsd card on my phone as a UMS for videos and music, instead of a usb thumb drive.
I can't post any outside links but the kinds of strap/keychain cables I'm currently looking at is from DracoDesignUSA, Scosche, and OrientEX
I have zero experience with these..sorry but I am in the market for one too. I was thinking something rigid without cables.
I found more of them here..flip through a few pages: http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=micro+usb+keychain&IndexArea=product_en&fsb=y
Those look good, but I'm worried about their syncing abilities. I have some cables that can only charge my device and do not sync when connected to a computer or media player.
I decided to buy the iGo Keyjuice charger for micro and mini usb http://www.amazon.com/iGo-PS00291-0001-KeyJuice-Charger-Micro/dp/B004NEULF8 for $7.88 with free Amazon Prime shipping, which I got the next day. I keep this on a detachable clip with my keys, so it's pretty nice having a usb cable whenever I go out with my phone. Perfect for my everyday carry.
Review: This cable is exactly what I was looking for and I did a lot of research in other portable cables and straps. The iGo keyjuice can charge my phone and sync data with no problems.

The micro and mini usb adapter folds in easily and snaps together to keep the whole thing secure.
The micro usb cable is about 2.5 inches long, a little short but works well.
View attachment 1315242
I was worried it was going to be hard for me to take the pieces apart, as some reviews stated, but I'm not experiencing any problems with taking the pieces apart and putting them back together. The only negative I have is the way the usb adapter is L-shaped, making it capable of blocking other ports on my laptop or not fitting because other things are in the way.
I haven't tested transfer speeds or charging times with this cable yet, but this thing is great so far.

Hi
I have all the external cables I need for the job.
It's the internal Hdmi and micro usb cable that connects to the main board and then has the cable to the two micro plugs you find at the back of the Atrix lapdock.
Thanks
Any success?
Hi fantomv50
Did you manage to find a source?
I need a couple myself.
Sorry for reviving old threads .. I'm in a similar jar .. I've broke mine ! Having the cable on/off .. moving it all over the place .. acted live a "lever" and it seems it broke !

I know... Old thread... But just throwing this in here as a reference!
I converted my lapdock to contain both an hdmi and micro usb port.
This is reallllllly time consuming as you are dealing with small wires- not to mention 20 of them. Look up a pinouts for both a micro-hdmi male, and full-hdmi female. Match them up. Draw it out. (I made the mistake of reversing the wires. Male-to-Female wiring can be confusing)
Pictures of the product show its a bit ugly... but it all works. As a display and with the keyboard/trackpad combo. I have more pictures of the final product.. but I'd have to look for them.
@llenp, very handy skill.
do you have Rpi2 problem with keyboard, my case is keyboard press delay but touchpad is good.

None that I have noticed with the keyboard. If anything, there were times where the trackpad would stop working.

its good to hear someone still using the old atrix, i still got mine though but i have broken micro hdmi port on the phone part. my lapdock is still good i guess theres nothing j could try on, rpi still cost a huge amount in our country, cable conversions were also hard to find (micro hdmi female to hdmi)
I have the lapdock and the audio dock. I want to connect my sony xperia z1 with the screen broken in it and use. I opened the back and left the cables out of the lapdock. I also opened the desk dock and left the exposed cables to make it easier to connect the Z1. When I plugged the Z1 into the desk dock it charged the normal beter, but the OTG function did not work. Well I would connect the HDMI to the USB input of the desktop dock to pass the Z1 pro lapdock image. Does anyone know why USB port did not work as OTG?
