Is is not just the typical mini hdmi or type a or something? I bought one for like 5 bucks when I bought my Flip a while back... maybe I can use it for this!

It is Micro HDMI to HDMI.

I found the cheapest to be a 1 footer for 11$ with free shipping from Brooklyn on ebay. Also, if you use Bing cash back, you can get 8% off (88 cents ). I would post links, but i cant.

I just searched for Micro HDMI on ebay and came up with plenty of options for $10 or less.

monoprice.com - they have high quality cables for the cheapest prices

just bought one off ebay
6.90 along with free shipping here to hawaii.. why can china ship here for free, but u.s. charges 12 bucks?

Rule # 1 - Monoprice should always be the first place you look
Rule # 2 - Refer to rule #1
Rule # 3 - Next try BlueJeansCable

I couldn't believe this but, I was at a verizon store yesterday asking about the hdmi cables and another customer overheard me. He pulled me aside and told me that you can get at lowes in the satellite dish dept. He said you could get a 12 foot cord for half of what verizon charges. I'm going to head over there shortly to find out if it's true.
Update... If lowes has them I didnt see them. they had regular hdmi cables but nothing for micro usb. I think the guy misunderstood what I was looking for.

Buying non-oem from china means it'll work for a month then it breaks. Long run you're gonna spend a lot more. Avoid eBay spend a few bucks more and get something reliable.

I got my hdmi cable (15 ft) and a new usb cause the box one is too short (6 ft) for only 15 bucks from monoprice.com with next day shipping.

The seller "Eforcity" on eBay has a LOAD of cheap HDMI cables, I saw one for $5.50 shipped earlier.
I'd post a link, except this is my first post.

[Q] Just jumped on the HDMI cable bandwagon...

...and then i realized that it was an hdmi cable to mini hdmi FML. does anyone know of a LINK to buy a mini hdmi to micro hdmi adapter thats reasonably priced?

It's actually micro HDMI to HDMI

I honestly can't say I've seen those kinds of adapters out in the wild. My friend also made the same mistake when trying to surprise me as a birthday gift, but the return was super simple through Amazon.
You can't return the cable? (Or, if you can, would return shipping dissuade you to do so...?)

I got mine off the old Ebay for 5 bucks shipped... nifty.

yeah the cable was like 2 bucks and shipping was 3.89... not looking forward to sending the cable back for less than half the money

probably not ideal to be using 2 adapters, just return the mini.

Samsung USB Dongle now available for order

I just got an email from Samsung on my backordered EPL-1PL0BEGSTA USB adapter. They said it was available for order and they accepted my order. No charge for shipping USPS but they did charge me Pennsylvania state sales tax.

I received the email as well. I am tempted to order, but I'm wondering if it will take a long time to be delivered like the case I ordered from them.

Anyone think there will be a problem with connecting a 64GB or bigger thumb drive (memory stick) to this adapter?

And for what its worth, the googleio2011 code still works

Seems to be working now as you said. Just finished placing my order.

what are the chances of receiving this by this saturday?
I have someone leaving to go abroad this saturday and need to get this adapter.
of course, the easiest would be for me to stroll into a local BestBuy and buy this outright but i'm not sure if the stores will get this in time.
Also, I'm unable to change the shipping option. The only available option is 'free flat usps'
so conflicted right now

Just ordered successfully as well as an extra data/sync cable.
IO coupon code worked and had all three shipping options available. Chose Flat rate as I am assuming its the USPS flat rate shipping box priority. Best bang for the buck anymore usually gets to me in 2 days.
-Lil'

I'm thinking they're open on weekdays only. I ordered the case from them on a Friday. They didn't ship it out until that Monday. I received it the Friday after I placed my order. In other words, they shipped it Monday, and I received it Friday. Took 5 days.
I'm assuming it will take just as long for the USB adapter to arrive.

Should work. I've used a 80GB HDD with my adapter and it works fine.

Ordered on saturday, just got an email today (monday) that it has shipped. (I took advantage of the google-io coupon code and ordered a bunch of other stuff to raise the amt to +$99 to get free-next-day-ship.. hey.. it was all discounted anyhow!) Am bummed that the hdmi adapter was not available tho.

Just ordered a leather pouch (tired of sliding my tab in/out the belkin slim case) and a USB adapter. Used googleio code and got a %30 discount. I'm hoping this will enable my 1Tb external WD passport SE and/or a logitech USB game controller.

Mine is shipped, I received confirmation and tracking from UPS, it should arrive tomorrow.

Mine has yet to be shipped. Perhaps it will go out tomorrow.

[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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

$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.
