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.

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...

E4gt hooked to a smart tv,how to???

Does anyone know how to do this? The evo did it fine as there was a hdmi port. E4gt should do this. Should it not

You need an mhl adapter in order to connect the E4GT to the TV. You can find them easily online.

lol yes.. can stream but if you want to mirror phone screen onto tv needs to use the mhl adapter to use hdmi.. i have the adapter but sometimes will use twonky media server on phone or another media server app and use the ps3 to stream through instead of a computer but my tv isnt smart ;-) you should b able to stream straight to your smart tv.. but only your media files unless he uses the adapter

Only downside is you can't charge while using it.

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.

Miracast on PC

I am looking around but could not find the right answer. I want to miracast or streaming screen cast on a pc and projector for delivering lecture preferably wireless.
I tried [email protected], screencast etc, they need usb connection and ADB. But ADB couldn't detect my note 510 device while it is working for other Android device.
Kindly suggest me any sw that can allow miracast on Windows 7 pc. Or any other good option.
Thanking everyone for your help in anticipation.

Edit: I can connect my device through ADB, so the [email protected] successfully. So, with USB cable screen cast on PC is working. For wireless over WiFi I am still trying.. and looking for help.

Yep, that's it. Once plugged in pull down your notifications and tap the usb and change your settings.
Ok. Done. Tv still doesn't recognize, but does recognize usb stick, btw, I bought a sd reader/writer usb adapter it doesn't recognize. Im trying to watch movies I have downloaded to my phone, on my tv. TV is brand new.

Have you tried using wifi-direct?That may be your only option short of screen mirroring via wifi or dongle.
How do I wifi direct? My tv is a smart tv. Run the wifi on my tv and let phone recognize it?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I dont think its as easy as plugging a usb stick in the tv. My tv reads the usb stick easily. It wont do the same for my phone. Always a complication when u think or should be easy
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You might look at AllCast.
The issue is probably the drivers then. The TV likely has a basic USB driver in it so the USB stick will work, but probably won't allow the phones drivers to install on the TV. So like what was mentioned, if you can't wifi direct or screen mirror (must have Samsung TV for that to be on the TV) you will likely need a Samsung Allcast/Allshare hub. Which in my mind isn't worth it when you can just move them over to a USB stick and watch them from there.
Theres not a rom or driver or sumthn to fix it?

Where did you get your movies from that you can't access on your smart tv? You should be able to stream them from wherever/whatever app you got them from...unless you got them illegally
But nevertheless, AllCast mentioned above is an option, but I think the better option is to get a TV video adapter for your phone? Why not get an HDMI/MHL cable? Duh! They're cheap, like 10 bucks off ebay. Make sure you have the 10/11-pin adapter, not the 5-pin, in regards of the Note 3.
If screen mirroring isn't your savvy and you want the full HD experience of accessing your videos directly thru usb, there is a way to mount your phone as a usb mass storage rather than MTP, but Samsung (and others) don't allow that capability in their OS's (probably to try to get you to use their stupid Kies software). To work around this you'll need root and a terminal emulator. In terminal enter su and type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". THIS MIGHT REALLY MESS UP YOUR USB & ADB CONFIGURATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Really it's not a big deal tho, to revert back use "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb" and reboot like 3 times until it finally fixes itself.
Hope this helps!

What's the best format of a video to be played on a TV? I haven't tried this yet. My videos are currently on MP4 format. Thanks!
The videos are playable on anything. So what next? I did the terminal emulator....verbatim. .. nothing happened. My phone didnt slap me in the face or gouge my eyes. However, I didnt plug it into the tv yet. Yes I have allshare.

Thats a big ol negatory big rap. Terminal thingy is a no go. Thanx tho. And duh! I could just push the stuff to my usb and play it. But! I paid for top of the line (note3). It should wipe my a$$. And I have no doubt it will.....one day
