SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable - Galaxy S III Accessories

I purchased one of these from Amazon so I could sync my Sixaxis to my phone. What other things can I use this for? What are your reviews on it? What do you use yours for?

I use it to watch movies from my USB stick, or to print or to connect a mouse, or a keyboard, or both,...

I just ordered one but haven't got it yet, does it work with a usb hub?

Probably stupid question but I am still confused. does this phone have HDMI out? I read it does but there is no port.
Yes, Same plug as your power.

[Nice, thanks for the super quick reply. What type of HDMI cord does it need? because I know a regular HDMI cord will not do given the size of the micro USB port.
I guess something like this, id shop around see if you could find a better price from link above otherwise $15 aint that bad of a price

Its called MHL. It is a technology that is phenomenal and is being overlooked for the most part. Even phones that are capable of it don't advertise that they are capable of it. It is a simple adapter that plugs into your USB on your device and gives you a full size HDMI port to connect to your TV.
Does it charge your phone at the same time?

Your phone plugs into mhl, mhl has hdmi to tv. Mhl also needs a power source, so it is plugged into the wall. I think it is able to keep charged.
This creates full mirroring. Meaning you can play angry birds on your phone and have it up on the big screen

[Q] USB/Charging cable damaged...

Hi everyone. I need some help my son has just damaged my USB/charging cable that came with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. And I have a brand new unopened usb cable from my PS3. Can I use that cable without any problems? Can it damage my GNex? Thanks.
Any USB cable should work just fine assuming its got the proper pins for power and not just data.
Thanks. Well considering that the PS3 cable is used for charging also I should be fine. Right?
If the connections are same size u should be good

Ya it'll be fine.
Aren't PS3 USB chargers mini USB? Mine is. The nexus needs micro USB.

I sometimes use a $3 one I got from amazon. I doesn't fit as tightly but works nontheless.

Dunno. I have an XBOX
Yes, PS3 cables are MINI USB thus making them useless for charging the Gnex. Gonna head out to see if I can find a cheap micro usb.

Don't have my OTG cable yet. Anyone using the DSLR controller app. Does it work on the Nexus?
Only had the Nexus 7 a few days but on initial tests it seems to work fine with my Nikon D50.

If you are referring to the one by Chainfire, then yes it does. I have a video showing it in action on the Nexus 7

How much does the OTG cable cost? Would love to use this on the go here in NYC.

I have seen them for 50 cents on amazon. Just look for OTG Cable there. The one I purchased is much more expensive but the one I know that works for sure. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Connection-MOTOROLA-Packaging-89454N/dp/B004UAG6WC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1344457137&sr=8-3&keywords=motorola+otg+cable

Connecting a PS3 controller?

So I am wanting to link my ps3 controller to my S3 to do some gaming action...
I understand you need a OTG cable, but then I noticed the gameklip comes with this spiffy mini to micro cable. My question is, could I just buy a mini to micro cable on ebay and it work? Or does a OTG cable have some sort of special micro controller in it?
Normal mini to micro cable is not usb otg cable. I tried mini to micro cable for usb drive, it won't work.
I never dissect my own otg cable, so i dunno if there's a micro controller inside
If you're rooted then you don't need a cable, just Bluetooth.
Read my thread in my signature. That should get you started

You still need the cable for first pairing don't you? At least that was when I played around with it.
I just bought a USB PS3 to micro wire and it worked just fine, paid 50 cents over here.

Any old mini USB will do for the pairing.. I think I used my old BlackBerry one.

How to play games in TV?

Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

Which MHL cable/adapter are you using? There are a lot of knockoffs and cheap-O brands.

You need the new mhl 2.0 adapter. The s3 started with the new adapter and the one for the s2 won't work anymore

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?
