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.

I just got 5 6' cables from monoprice.com for under $2 each shipped. They work great.

I have some 6" cables that go from usb to micro usb so I can charge my phone and/or headset from my laptop without carrying around a full AC adapter.
Where do you buy you're extra cables from???

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.
Www.monoprice.com has cords for just a few bucks goodluck

[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

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

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.

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,...
