Almost bought one, the good thing is you don't need a micro hdmi cable, it uses a standard hdmi cable.

Nice, from the photos it looked like the HDMI cable it comes with was a normal HDMI one rather than a mini or micro (or whatever they're called, type D or something).

I got mine. Yes it uses standard hdmi. I love it.

I don't see what this would get you over a micro hdmi cable from
monoprice.com for $6.

The ability to keep the dock near your home theater / tv? And not look like ****?...
I want a dock like this with USB for the 'puter.

The dock does have USB (micro) on the back as well...

Bought one yesterday unboxing video is up on YouTube right now
Just look up my user name jaseX313 its my newest video
I'll post up here later tonight

I got one Friday and am having sound issues.
If I attach my phone to the dock, I am unable to hear any sounds after disconnecting it. It affects both the speaker and Bluetooth sound.
The only way I have found to get the sound back is to shut it off and on again.
I am not sure if it is app related, but I suspect not.

yes the hdmi cable included is standard.

I picked one up yesterday. I like the construction. It feels sturdy unlike the parts you buy shipped from China on ebay. The phone fits nicely.
The price is a bit much (it should be only $20), but I guess because you get that cable it makes it worth it.

Does it put the phone in dock mode when plugged in?

Nope, if you wanted it to, there was a thread somewhere on xda about grounding a usb pin to enable dock mode when plugged in,search google for it

OTG Cable - Genuine or not?

Hey.
Just a quick one.
Is there a bonus to getting an official samsung OTG cable to just one off ebay or something similar? Its just a cable right? Nothing special about the samsung one? I was going to go the Samsung one just to be safe but just wanted some opinions.
Some of you may say it doesn't work with the nexus but I've seen multiple videos on you tube and even an app (gotta be rooted) that enables external storage. I was a little worried about this myself but now I'm hoping it'll work just fine.
Also, what if I just got a female USB to female USB and used my charger cable? Wouldn't that work just the same? Or maybe there's some little thing in these cables that you can't do something like that.
Thanks guys, any responses that people have had or know or are using these would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

I bought a $2 otg cable, it works as intended.
I use it with dslr controller and my canon camera. No problems so far.

need an OTG cable. Post confirmed working cables

I have an OTG cable that I have been using for the past few years on my tablet, but it appears it doesn't work with this generation of the Nexus 7.
Using USB device info app, it looks like it is finding my jump drive on the Linux side of things, but Android appears blank, so this isn't a hardware issue with the tablet.
Have you used Nexus Media Importer and have it working? Please post a link to your OTG cable.

I'm using this one on my nexus with no issues whatsoever.

I have this one too and it works on my 2012 Nexus 7. I'll plug it in my new 2013 Nexus 7 get home. I see no reason why it won't work though.

Wow only $1.50 shipped. I'm not even sure I have a need for an OTG cable, but for $1.50 I just ordered one.

Did you purchase yours from the seller LTZmart - Ships From HongKong or another one?

Yep, I bought the one in that very link, I took it from my order history. I think I bought three of them, back when I bought my galaxy s3. Works great. I actually like that the micro usb makes a 90º turn, because you can flip the n7 over and have it naturally hang downwards, rather than straight out to the side.

What format thumb drive would it work with? I know NTFS is no good, maybe exfat?

This one works for me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00932N46S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Used it to mount 2 NTFS drives (one flash & one external hard drive). Need to use USB OTG Helper to mount NTFS drives.

Hi:
I use the OTG Cable from Amazon, shipping from Hong Kong on my Nexus 7 2012 and 2013--I just can't say Nexus Flo, it makes my teeth hurt. Both my units are stock and I use Nexus Media importer on each unit. I have a 64gb microsd in a microusb adapter formatted with NTFS which I use for streaming and copying files to my tablet on the run. Nexus Media Importer only supports write on Fat32 and I have small 32gb flash drives for that. You don't have to be rooted to use OTG.
As others have pointed out, Nexus Media Importer is working flawlessly on the Nexus 7 2013.

Sorry, what would I need in addition to this cable to use it with the nexus 2013?

Is there any USB OTG cable with charging that works for the Nexus 7? Trying to have the Neuxs 7 set up in my car so it can be charged and access a portable hard drive at the same time.

Not any that I'm aware of that also charge the device. I did skim this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822653 as it looked somewhat promising. I wonder if you could do OTG while wireless charging? That'd be the way to go if so.
As I wrote this post I decided to test it. Using my xbox360 controller, wireless charging stops as soon as I plug in my OTG cable. I repeat, wireless charging does NOT work while you are using an OTG cable. At least, the one I linked early on in the thread.
Kinda sucks, but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

You will need a program, this is what I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
It will automatically mount and unmount the drive.

2 for 3.50 ships from us. Got mine in under a week. No problems so far. The plug that goes to micro is like g enough for a very thick case. Lol.

Is there an accessory that can charge, connect to an external USB Hard drive, and output to HDMI at the same time?
i posted in other forum to hope for a Dock that:
1. Wireless Charge
2. Expand a TV HDMI out
3. USB port for Hard drive access
I really want the Nexus & FHD to be a Home entertainment player...maybe the dock should include a remote/ Or Kinect like gesture control app built in with the dock
Hope this comes true...it will be the best Combo for a home unit!

If it's anything like the 2012 Nexus, to charge and otg at the same time, all you need is a y cable and a kernel hack

Chromecast/Monitor

I'm wondering if Chromecast will let me use a TV as a tablet monitor? If not, would an HDMI cable? And, is something like that available at a Radio Shack. I have found a lot of cables but none say much more than abbreviated descriptions that mean nothing to me.
Thanks....

Chrome cast wont show desktop. I got hdmi cable from Amazon. It's a special cable. Samsung sells one but others will work and cost less.

I personally would suggest you get an MHL adapter without the HDMI cable added. Something like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&format=2
Reason I say that is because if the HDMI cable breaks or wears down after use you will have to replace the whole thing. The microUSB MHL adapter is only a few inches big. It's easier to keep safe in my opinion. Then you can provide any length HDMI cable you want.

This works with the note 10.1 2014?
Thanks

It should work with any device that supports video out. I'm not 100% sure it will.

Desktop dock

I'm after a universal desktop dock that will also work with my Nexus 5. Anyone using one at the moment?
[edit] found one that should do the job nicely.

Nice find, curious if that would work with Vooc seeing it is powered by micro USB.
Unless there are special pins on the Micro USB part of the Vooc charger that has to be directly connected to the Find 7.

Yep, it is not an ordinary micro usb connector, standard charge times without it.

I know this isn't the oppo on the stand, but it's in the video, but does anyone know what stand is that I think the Nexus 5 is on?
