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.

USB-OTG Cable for Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos.

Hi all! I would like to buy a USB OTG(on the go) cable for my mobile. I tried with the OTG Cables available in stores. But they ain't working. I found out that our mobile do not support OTG. The male part of cable has one pin extra compared to the original USB cable. So I just wanted to know if we could but it online or from the store. And yes, I live in India ; Mumbai. I had an idea of buying a female to female cable and connecting one side to USB and other with USB cable to phone. Thanks in advance. :thumbup::thumbup:

YA TRUE THAT!!! I checked my friends S2 and my grands usb port. theres an extra pin in the usb port of our grand which is not doing good with OTG! I think Grand wont support OTG. If some hardwate dev come up with a way to removin that f***in pin, we will be sorted out!!

i read the same article, the article explained how to use your old charger cable as otg cable or manually creating an otg cable at home.
i checked and verified by opening my own otg cable and found the same circuit as the circuit shown in that image.
i was wondering if the phone is not sending any power to the cable/pen drive.

dude, i guess you are taking about this article tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/how-to-make-your-own-usb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone-29503.html
i read this complete article and checked my own otg, i found it as shown in the image/article mentioned by you.
i believe if one want to short the pins, it can be done at phone's external plug end.
Please help me to start with the otg development.
i will be thankful to you
as it is a kernel's thing as per my research till now.
and i am sorry about your grand may its soul rest in peace.:crying:

[Q] Bought a Galaxy S4 Mini - few questions

It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.

I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Well that really sucks. Oh well, guess I'll stick to using my Tab Plus for that for the time being.

only the samsung hdmi adapter works with the GS4 mini due to a specific protocol since it is not HML enabled. I know... it sucks, but it has other ways to connect to a TV

samsung smart TVs have this almost-like "wifi-direct" connection and you can mirror through wifi the phone's display. like sony has with their phones&TVs. you need to be connected to the same wifi... that's it

[Q] Note II MHL-to-HDMI Help!!

I recently purchased an 11-pin MHL-to-HDMI cable to use with my Galaxy Note II and my Asus VN248H IPS monitor. When I plug in the USB end into the Samsung power adapter, the HDMI into the monitor's HDMI/MHL port, and the other end into my Note II, the Note II recognizes the cable with an "HDMI Cable connected" message but when I switch to the proper HDMI input on the monitor, the monitor only displays a "Out of Range" error message. Any ideas/helpful tips for how to get this cord working? Or do I just have a dud and should I buy another? Thanks in advance!
//Edit: My Note II is a GT-N7100 model and the TL: DR of this post is that my Note II detects my MHL cable but my monitor displays an "Out of Range" message instead of mirroring the screen. Help!

Bump! I don't like doing this but I'd really like a response or to know if anybody out there has had or is having similar issues with MHL! Anybody?

Thanks for the response! My phone is not rooted so I'm on the default Samsung ROM? (I'm a total noobie to all this so sorry if that doesn't answer the question at all!)
I have not yet tried on another TV/monitor, but my friend's Galaxy S3 had the same result. (Monitor displayed "Out of Range" message)
The cable is NOT an original from Samsung. So that raises big red flags I'm sure.
And my Note II is a GT-N7100 running Android version 4.1.2.
I'll post more details as I test more scenarios but in the meantime any help or experience would be very much appreciated!

You have to try in other tv....if that not solve the problem...its the cable...but if the other tv works....its your tv....
I hope its help.......

Thanks so much for the response and sorry for taking so long to reply again! I tried the cord out with my Galaxy Note 2 on a TV and it worked!! Even though the aspect ratio was off and the screen didn't fit completely on the TV, the cord was fine! This leads me to believe that it has something to do with my monitor, but I have no idea what! Could it be that my monitor doesn't support the refresh rate of the Galaxy phones or something? If anybody has any more advice or suggestions, that would be great because I'm completely stumped. Thanks!

Video OUT with USB-C on mi Max 3 ?

Hi guys,
Well, title says about almost everything.
I wanted to know if someone has tried to hook up a USB-C to HDMI cable to the mi Max 3 and got a signal that way...
If so, that would be a great feature !
Regards.
