[Q] dock option? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi,
So does it (N7 2013) work with the old ASUS dock that works with the original N7 or do I need to go buy yet another dock?
I can't see if it has the pogo pins required but maybe someone here can enlighten me, also if it does not work does anyone know if ASUS will make a new dock available or has any info on such a dock?

It might sit in the dock, but it won't work with it, it doesn't have any pogo pins

[Q] Accessories for 10.1 work with 10.1v?

Hello everyone!
I tried to figure out if you cover this issue at another thread, but got lost in the way, so, my apologies in advance if this question has been covered.
So, does anybody know whether the accessories for 10.1 work as well with the 10.1v? Does both tabs have the same input port for charging and docking station etc?
I was thinking for example this accessories:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-G...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1c1dbb1a9f
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item1e65cd5ef9
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1e658b348c
Any idea if they can work on my device? Any known connectivity / size issues?
Many thanks for your help, kind of disappointed with the selection of accessories for 10.1v

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But:
1. HDMI adapter requires Honeycomb 3.1, so you would need to run custom rom.
2. Not sure if adapter will fit in as tablet it's few millimetres thicker.
3. As per point 1. Requires 3.1 Honeycomb, so again need custom ROM (something to do with HID devices over bluetooth, if you google it you should be able to find some more info.
Cheers
Thanks a lot!
If these are true, there's no hope...I don't want to flash my ROM, I don't know how to actually.
Do you happen to know whether samsung will have an update of the software to 3.1 for 10.1v?
Thanks again,
G.

Galaxy Nexus Dock Options w/ Pogo pins (?)

Is there anything available yet? Ideally i'd like the horizontal multimedia dock for home and my car, but they keep delaying the release (4/5/12) now.
Seriously, how hard is it to shop online?

Nope nothing out yet. There was that $90 Samsung dock for pre order but it's off their website.
If someone were to come up with a pogo dock they would make a killing.
Just going to give you a warning. Samsung and others have claimed that the pogo docks won't be released until the Android 4.0.5 update comes out OTA. Supposedly, there is an issue that is caused when the phone goes into Dock mode.
Please use the search function on the top right of the website, there was a thread about this just a couple pages back.
There are SEVERAL threads on this some of which are 20 pages long. I guess OP can't be bothered to search.

Laptop-like keyboard.

Hi fellow Xoomers!
I need your help finding a keyboard for my Xoom that comes with USB and HDMI ports.
I actually don't know if such thing exists, but if yes then I need it!
I've almost deserted my PC and my Xoom is doing all the work I need but still there's the need to connect flash drives, use HDMI...etc.
I'd really appreciate it if someone had a link for this.
Thank you in advance!
I use a dell bluetooth keyboard if I need a real keyboard. It is nice since bluetooth is wireless. I'm wondering if this little hub might be something that would work for you. Personally I don't have one. For HDMI, I have a separate cable.

This is not what I wanted but certainly was helpful.
Thanks!
I use the bluetooth motorola keyboard, but if you want a laptop style one this one is surely for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-BL...ccessories&hash=item337768b411#ht_2286wt_1185
For HDMI I use a cable as well, but you can buy a dock station also
I need a laptop-like keyboard for xoom 2, but I didn't find anything

MHL to HDMI adapter

This adapter by Samsung is originally for the Galaxy II but it will work on the Note as well, right?
I'm thinking of getting it and just want to check if anyone else has used it.
Yes it will.
Also this is a cheaper one, why dont u try it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-ADAP...K/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_1/277-0346756-7564665
I got one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cablesson-MicroUSB-HDMI-Female-Adapter/dp/B007K8NNOA/ref=pd_cp_ce_0 and it works great.

Nice one, they even ship outside UK. That is usually the problem when buying from Amazon.co.uk. Never know if you'll be able to get it until check out time.
While I'm at it, is it a good idea to also get an OTG USB host converter?
What could I use it for?

Lan (USB to RJ-45) Adapter?

Has anyone happened to find one that works?

Could be wrong, but seem to remember reading that this won't work with Android.
I heard this kind of cable worked with Asus tablets like the Transformer or Transformer Prime (probably all of them anyway), so I'm not sure Android is a limiting factor. But the one I tried with my GN 10.1 didn't work . Should give it another try since I got un update since then.

My Gtab has a dock with an RJ-45 LAN connection that works. I guess it's not a traditional USB interface as it uses the large connection on the bottom of the tablet.

Yeah, I've seen several on Amazon that report working with the Transformer.
I have a USB Ethernet adapter that worked perfectly with my Transformer Prime 201 before I switched to the Note 10.1. When I attach it to the Note via the USB OTG adapter, it throws the "High Power USB Device" warning and doesn't work. I need to track down a powered USB hub and test it out with that.
