Hello,
Have been eyeing the device for a while now. Was planning to get Tab 7.7 earlier, but that screen size cannot be much used for office productivity. So have been summing up the budget for this one.
In my typical usage scenario, I have to keep it upright (for work or for presentations) connected with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and display output to most common VGA projectors in case of presentations. Also would like at least one, preferably two USB OTG ports to connect my external flash/harddrive or any other accessories.
I believe the USB OTG and HDMI OUT functionality on this tablet is both handled by the MicroUSB connector at the bottom, correct me if I am wrong.
To envisage my needed accessory, is there any dock available, on which the tablet sits in the landscape orientation, connects via microusb connector, keeps charging and outputs the MHL HDMI disaply at the same time. On the back of the dock, supposedly should be the HDMI female connector, USB OTG port(s) and card reader ports. I know for connecting to a VGA projector I also have to use a HDMI male to VGA female adapter.
If such a solution is available, then I can think of it as a useful office productivity tool. I have seen some connectors like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-OTG-SD-TF-Card-Reader-MHL-to-HDMI-TV-Adapter-for-Samsung-Note-2-S3-S4-/271284804413 but in my scenario , for plugging such a connector to tab 10.1, it should be lying flat on the table during any presentation or work, which is not practical and a workable position for anyone.
I have tried looking around but was not able to find such a dock, so thought to have some help from the community here.
Would love your ideas and opinions about it. Thanks for your answers.
=====================================================
An ideal dock like I am describing is available.....but sadly for iPad iPad2 iPhone4 S iPod.....http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Multi-function-Docking-All-in-one-HDMI-VGA-USB-Dock-iPad-iPad2-iPhone4-S-iPod-Stand/543638036.html?.....wish something similar can be made available for Samsung Galaxy Tab/ Galaxy Note series.
I have had my eye on this guy for dock use. Seems to be a good deal as well, compared to the Samsung version.

My tablet actually docks just fine on my phone charging cradle which is of a similar design, so I would think this will work as well.

Hi Armageddon,
Thanks for the answer. I actually did my research and almost reached the same product as you have mentioned. Since you own a 10.1 2014 tablet, I believe this tablet does offer the same via standard 11-pin micro USB connector (instead of the propreitary Samsung connector used in earlier models).
I was able to find a couple of smart docks, which are advertised to work with GNII/III and Galaxy S3/S4, all of which I believe do have the 11-pin micro USB MHL connector. Please have a look at the following
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Multimedia-Dock-HDMI-USB-Dock-Station-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-Galaxy-S4-I9500-S3/1439104485.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-High-Quality-HDMI-Smart-Multimedia-Dock-Charger-Station-Cradle-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-II/1405399957.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Multimedia-Dock-station-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-2-N7100-S3-S4-with-audio-out-and/1422156460.html
All of them are advertised to do all the functions simultaneously at the same time , that is "OTG + HDMI + Charging".
I believe the docks i have found and you have mentioned on Amazon are the same , are they ? . I need to know
1. Have you tried this or a similar dock and found all functions to be working simultaneously and satisfactorily.
2. By a long shot, since S3/S4 also have an 11pin micro USB connector, have any of you tried or can comment on whether this dock would work with a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet. Theoretically and technically , i think it should but need your advice. Would the tablet fit in snug in the connector space given on the dock.
Thanks for reading and your feedback.

Our tablet stay on the note II docks ? It never falls ?
Received the dock today. It works ok with Note 3 (charging, usb keyboard, output to tv) but not with note 10.1 2014. Oh well ...

It's a pity Samsung doesn't release a Transformer-style tablet/dock combo. Asus keeps having more hardware problems than Samsung, and Samsung seemed happy for a while to try out every possible form factor.
The new Transformer Infinity (TF701T) straight out of the box has all the functionality that OP requests. Unfortunately early batches of the Infinity have had problems with their dock connectors, so to replace my old Transformer Prime I'm seriously thinking of jumping ship and getting a Note 10.1. It seems much better suited for use in tablet mode (smaller bezels, lighter), but I would miss the dock...

It's only a 5pin(actually 4) connector. Such a dock should be possible with a switch to manually change between usb/hdmi/cardreader etc.
Anyone found anything that works?
Tested 2 docks from DX, so far kinda mixed results
one works kinda, has 2 x usb and both work, hdmi seems to output only at 720 p I think ( best way to check ??anyone??) , BUT charging isn't working it seems ( still testing, maybe trickle charge))
http://dx.com/p/5v-1000mah-mhl-otg-...on-for-samsung-i9300-i9500-n7100-black-238004
The other one
http://dx.com/p/mhl-to-hdmi-otg-card-reader-for-samsung-i9300-i9500-n7100-n5100-p3200-238273
The usb seems to work fine, same issue with charging, and I can't seem to get the HDMI to work, still working and testing on the last part
The ideal would be usb otg + charge ( would be nice if the charging wasn't mandatory ) + hdmi
Anyone found anything they can confirm works?
I think you cannot get 2A charging current while using usb for data. Probably data mode is limited to 500mA, or 900mA.
Samsung is releasing an ethernet adapter with 2 usb ports for the Nok Pro 12.2 if it's micro usb 2.0 it should work with our tablet

not a dock...
Wow, wicked !!! Did you happen to notice release date? Any product links?
Any news on that? Does it charge while using the usb-ports?
Has anyone tried one of the smart docks for the S3/4 and Note phones?
I'm going to go out on a limb and just try a OTG cable in one of the USB ports on the side and assume it might work.

According to Samsung there is a MicroUSB to HDMI cable for HDMI output!
ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=0&AT_ID=307505&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=558&EMAIL_ID
The only problem is that the part number referenced isn't on their site....yet.
Here's hoping that this is real.....
can you give us the part number even if it isn't referenced?
Wow, that's huge... our phones can do both AV and HDMI. Thanks OP!!! Now we need to locate a store that sell MicroUSB to HDMI cable.

How likely is it that this would work with a Vibrant? If it is I'll definitely be picking one up!
tv out
The RCA video out from the headset jack definitely works.
I have done it on my vibrant. Sims will not work and Avatar will not work. A screen saying that it is not compatible or something come sup... but the entire screen of the phone and everything else will work... no idea about the hdmi though...
Does anyone wonder/know if Dolby Digital 5.1 can be output with 720p video on this thing? Something tells me that might be too much to ask, but if that's possible on this phone that would totally kick ass.

that cable wont work on the Vibrant cuz it's for the proprietary Samsung Data/Charge port to HDMI. the phone it references is the Instinct, which doesnt have a microUSB port... it uses the original Samsung charge/data port.
we need MicroUSB to HDMI.
ya someones gotta buy an off brand before the "official" cable comes out and see if it works.. not only that but see if it displays everything just like the rca cables but in hi=def.
I'm wondering how this would work? Micro-B USB port has 5 pins + the shield. HDMI is 19 pins and 6 (3 pairs) are for the audio and video data, but due to the TMDS signaling you also need a pair of pins for clock (so 8 total).
I'm also guessing that some special mode would need to be implemented so that the Galaxy devices will know to output the video signal to the USB port vs using it as a charge or data port.
I'm also wondering if this is really a micro USB cable to HDMI or one of the Type D to HDMI cables? That would make sense otherwise Samsung would be getting in the business of creating custom cables. On the flip side the Type D connector still has 19 pins.

someone could just go into a radio shack and check a micro hdmi to hdmi and see if it works. I am sure they will let you try it. I am at work now but if someone would try that would be awesome.

I just cant see putting video over a serial bus, I would need some sort of conversion. Either way, 5 pins is no where enough to do the video and even just mono stereo. IF the cell phone can convert the video and audio into just pure data and the send it down a USB cable then there would HAVE to be a box somewhere between the phone and the TV to convert it back to video and audio. A TV is not going to know what to do with the data from a USB port. This seems to be a miss print on Samsung's web page. Plus, if you click on compatible devices it shows 2 spinpoint hard drives, no phones.

The Samsung cable has an overly-large HDMI plug-end. My guess puts a small blob of conversion circuitry inside there, drawing power either via the USB or by vampiring off of the HDMI. (The HDMI spec has a +5V line, but that's only for Sources, whereas this is a Destination. It may or may not have power, I haven't looked that deep into the tech docs).
Bandwidth isn't an issue - 800x480 can be pumped over USB2.0, which is what we're looking at here.
Plus, the thing apparently exists. So it likely works.

Assuming this HDMI cable is the real deal, it should be able to output 1080p which would be HUGE news. Although I'm skeptical like everyone else whether or not the microUSB connection can really handle this kind of data.
The cable itself has a larger end because it has a microUSB plug in it to allow the phone to charge while it's connected to the TV. It's pure speculation if there's any advanced circuitry in there to assist with outputting video data.

I agree about the size of the connector housing and I was thinking the same thing but then retracted that thought because I wasn't sure if it was quite big enough to do that type of conversion.
I see no point in having an HDMI cable if we're limited to 800x480. Why not just stick with the Composite cable in the headphone jack? HDMI would insinuate that you can play your 720P videos over it on a High Def TV.
800x480p digital would look a decent amount better than 480i over composite, so it wouldn't be the worst thing.
I'm wondering about that port on the side of the HDMI end, though - Micro USB power maybe?
I'm planning on ordering from Expansys and getting at least the MHL adapter (would the Expansys one work as well as the official Samsung one?), a car kit, and maybe this sleek looking case once it's in stock.
I would get the HTC MHL adapter. It looks much better and the ports are arranged more logically.

and another charger for it

I have a soft pouch for when im out. I bought a usb connector so I can plug in a usb adapter for a mouse and keyboard or plug in a flash drive. I also bought a 7000mAh battery pack to charge it on the go. I did ponder on whether to buy a spare battery but that means turning the phone off, taking the battery out and changing it so a battery pack which can recharge a nearly empty battery at least 3 times makes more sense. It also has 2 outputs so you can charge 2 phones at once or power any usb device from it .
Im waiting until the samsung car dock and portrait multimedia dock are released. I was going to get an mhl adapter but I need a desk dock anyway and the docks for the nexus will have hdmi ports in them so you can output direct to a tv or monitor without the need for ugly connectors.

Wow, didn't know they Nexus could act as a USB host. Does that mean you can read any file off a flash drive? What about portable hard drives (I'm assuming they would need external power)?
That battery pack looks nice, too bad they don't have it on expansys. It will cost me too much to ship each item from individual websites along with my Nexus
Edit: Just found the Usb host on the go thread and it seems that it is not supported out of the box (yet), you might need to flash a custom kernel for it to work until Google fixes it. That said I still ordered the cable

I just picked up a MilitaryShield screen protector and carbon fiber skin from amazon. I thought for $15 I couldn't go wrong.
telepathically sent with my Galaxy Nexus which is being imprisoned by FedEx
i still think what will be the best dock, this one:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock.html
or this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Desktop-Dock-Galaxy-Nexus/dp/B006GJ5S3S
the 1st one has both HDMI & mini-USB.
the 2nd one is the official and uses the pogo pins but only mini-USB and audio jack.
my goal is connecting the nexus to my lcd tv with a controller such a usb gamepad.
any benefits for the pogo pins? should i connect MHL to the back of the dock?
i already bought the screen protector and mhl. will be buying a soft holster pouch if my droid x one doesnt fit in and probably some sort of case. maybe the one with the kickstand. and a battery
just bought a black leather fitbag case for it, also looking at buying a battery pack for it to charge on the go
Iv ordered a cheap ebay case, the leather flip one for when im out, £5 cant go wrong....
I want to be able to connect my Nexus to my Tv and watch videos and also play emulated games using controllers, so I'm getting the MHL Adapter and HDMI Cable. Free shipping on amazon? don't mind if I do.

For what you're using it for, the 2nd one won't work, unless you plug the mhl cable directly into the phone (the port should be open since it's in landscape). Everyone needs to keep in mind that the 2nd one only charges it. It WILL NOT connect to a computer for file transfer, nor will it support mhl/HDMI out.
In terms of ease of use and function, I prefer the 2nd one though, because (going off how the nexus one worked) you can just drop the phone in/take it out one handed easily; no need to line the port up. This actually works better than the n1, since it would always fall over if you weren't careful (since it was oriented in portrait mode). In addition, the phone should automatically connect to the dock through bluetooth, which I loved on the N1.
Hope this helps your decision. Oh, and I'm definitely getting the official Samsung landscape dock
so, in the back of the official dock i can connect, for example, a gamepad/controller and since the dock is landscape, i can connect to the phone the mhl cable, is that right?

For the official portrait dock, you may or may not be able to connect everything to the back of the dock. It depends on if Samsung is foolish or not.
For the official landscape dock (with the pins) the back can ONLY be used for charging the phone. The controller and HDMI out would have to be placed in the port of the phone itself, assuming that it actually shows while sitting in the dock (I don't know if it even does). The whole point of this dock is to be a stylish desk clock/charger, and nothing else. (Again, going off of the nexus one dock. There's an extremely slight possibility that they've improved the pin connector tech, but as far as I know, it wouldn't be enough to port full video through)
So for your uses, get the portrait dock. It connects to the phone via usb, and while it may not be as fancy as the landscape one, it'll almost definitely be more useful to you.
thank you!
oh, lets say i use usb splitter on my nexus, the question is if the usb splitter still support so i can connect for example gamepad, keyboard and mouse ?

Well I know that a usb splitter will cover the gamepad, keyboard and mouse since they're all usb, but if you're considering a keyboard and mouse I'd say go for a bluetooth set. They connect extremely easily and work out of the box; I've tested it with my own mouse. Come to think of it, I'd say get a ps3 controller too. Then you could connect to the phone using bluetooth with the controller as well. Then you'd have no wires between you and the phone, which is slick in my opinion.
Of course if you don't have any of those and don't want to spend the money/already have a set you want to use then here's what you do: get something like one of these:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-tv-out-adapter-black-p29839.htm
and connect it to the phone. Then if you still decide to do the usb route rather than bluetooth then connect your usb splitter to the adapter. That way the MHL adapter still can send out HDMI and send in the usb inputs from the splitter.
And you'll have a full game/workstation from your phone. Not sure how effective it will be (since the homescreen/some apps don't work in landscape) but it'll definitely be cool for games.

Actually, it's either MHL or USB. They use the same pins, so you can never get USB and MHL to work at the same time.
If you want HDMI output and controller input at the same time, Bluetooth is the only way to go.

Make sure it's a USB-OTG cable and not a simple adapter. That one doesn't say that it's OTG. May still be though.

Has anyone tried the Sixaxis tool from the market on the SGS and confirm it works?
Also, I bought this USB micro to female adapter from Expansys: http://www.expansys.ae/expansys-micro-usb-male-to-usb-female-adapter-223101/
How do I find out if it's OTG or not?
hi,
could be nice to see if the smart dock (the one with HDMI port, 3 usb ports, etc) manufactured for the galaxy note 2, will be compatible with the tablet note 10.1 2014 edition.
It seems to work on the new note 3 and just wondering if might be the case for the tablet as well. I see that the new tablet has a usb port that looks like the one in the note 3 (even thogh the latter mounts a usb 3 and the tablet a usb 2 as far as I know)

Yes, I have tried it with original AC adapter and with Note 10.1 AC adapter - nothing happened in both cases - the dock just doesn't do anything with Note 10, it does work just fine with Note 2.
It's funny though, as I do have another adapter, it's called HDMI Connection kit (http://shop.brando.com/HDTV-Adapter-and-OTG-Card-Reader_p09720c1451d001.html), and that one does work, I can connect USB device, SD card and HDMI out works too.
I haven't yet tried USB and HDMI at the same time - I'll do it today.

Well I have done some tests and it works (mostly).
I'm typing this reply on USB keyboard connected to generic USB HUB, that has also connected USB mouse and an USB flash drive.
Hub is connected to the USB port on the adapter.
I have also HDMI cable connected to the adapter and the whole thing is connected via HDMI2VGA converter to 17" flat screen. Picture is streched but everything works.
The "mostly" part is because the "connection" to USB devices is a bit unstable - sometimes they disconnect and reconnect and especially because you can't charge the tablet at the same time whatever charger I connect it just doesnt charge the device.
I'm guessing Samsung either screwed something or intentionally changed on connection port or in software compared to S3/4 and Note 2/3...
Thats good to know, thanks! I'm not too worried about the charging part since its a tablet. I hope the HDMI can actually output 1080p 30Hz video
Can we have a link for this smart dock please ?
I wonder if this one may work...?

Does anyone know if the DA-E570 wireless dual dock works with the G-Note 10.1 2014.

error
USB sense resistors
The reason why the smart dock does not work on the Note 10.1 2014 is that in different micro USB accessories there are different resistors between pin 4 and 5 in the micro USB connector. The manufacturers can make device specific accessories by making the Android device react on a specific resistor in its accessory. There are other xda-developer threads discussing this, and trying to sort out how to e.g. compose smart docks providing charging to the Android device and using its USB host capabilities to connect USB devices.
One Samsung smart dock seems to have a 40.2 kOhm resistor and work on some Galaxys. But not on Note 10.1 2014.
I have tried all resistor values that are documented to be able to possibly have something to do with dock mode and OTG mode, but the Note 10.1 2014 does not react on any of them except on 40.2 k Ohm. On all other values it just charges and does not accept to use connected USB devices.
Only 40.2 k Ohm shows a slight difference. It shows a red cross over the chargng icon, indicating that it charges slower. But USB to a keyboard does not work.
Only 0 Ohm between pin 4 and 5 causes OTG mode so that USB data devices can be used. But then no charging is accepted by the Note 2014.
Look for xda-developer areas titled "fun with resistors" and "using OTG mode and charging at the same time" for a lot of information but no solution for the Note 10.1 2014.
I have tried the following resistor values:
28.7 k, 34 k, 40.2 k, 49.9 k, 64.9 k, 80.7 k, 100 k, 102 k, 124 k, 200 k, 365 k and 619 k Ohm.
I now just hope that Samsung has some yet unrevealed way to tell the Note 2014 that a new type of smart dock is attached, and that it will be launched soon.
I can imagine one reason for not making the earlier smart dock work with the Note 2014. The Note 2014 uses 5.3 V for charging to make charging more rapid, and Samsung might think it is not really in compliance with the USB specifications to distribute that as well to other USB devices. Just a guess...
Hi All, I'm about to get one of these as the screen of my S4 is broken and Samsung asks too much money to fix it Any developments on getting it to work with Note 10.1 2014?

So, I bought another, white, Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter that works with the S4, so you'd think it'd also work with the Note3, but all it does is REBOOTS MY NOTE3 when I connect it. I'm even using a new high-grade hdmi cable, the Note3's own A/C charger (and S3 usb cable) as is recommended, and have the interference shielding clip on the cable, but still no-go. WTF?
This shouldn't be that hard. Does anyone have a MHL HDMI that they've tested and KNOW works with their Note3? Thanks...

Dock MHL is confirmed working? I don't normally use docks, since I like to pick up my device while it's plugged in.
I was running a custom rom at the time but I downloaded r.i.p.d and watched it on my big screen and there was no lag with it, like when things start moving fast like the note 2 had. Plus u get the benefit of plugging USB stuff up

The newer MHL adapter is 2.0 (and the Note 3) which means it doesn't need to have the extra micro usb power supply connected. It's supposed to draw power from the source that your hooking up to. Maybe the power you were supplying was tripping it. Have you tried without it?

Reboots my phone even without the power connect. I'll test it with one other TV tomorrow, and if it still does it, I'm returning it. My box has the "genuine samsung hologram sticker" on it, so it's not a fake, but, it still doesn't work. Bummed - I wanted to do some gaming w/ sixaxis this weekend.
I had a mhl adapter made by rocketfish that I got when I bought my S2. It wouldn't work on my note 3. Turns out the micro usb plug has 5 pins and the N3 requires an 11 pin connector. Did some searching and bought and adapter from 5 to 11 pins on ebay for about 6 bucks. It works great now. I looked in best buy and the mhl adapter comes with this little connector now so you can use with any phone that is mhl compatible.
I use the black one posted above for my note 2 and 3, So it does work of that helps any.

That is a pretty good price for those, other sites I've looked at didn't come close to that price.
In other news, I'm curious about ones like this (TrippLite). They make a big deal out of the USB-C port being usable for 60W Power Delivery, and don't actually state whether that is the only capability of that port. I'm wondering whether one can plug a cable from one's computer into that port, both charge the phone and do data transfer at the same time. Strongly implied it doesn't have that capability, but it could have it. Grr, more detail needed.

I use the Microsoft Display Dock to connect my V20 to TV. The package comes with a dock, a type-c to type-c cable and a type-c charger which can charge the phone while playing video on TV. And the dock has display port and three USB ports which mean you can connect keyboard, mouse and usb storage at the same time!

I am using this $30 SlimPort adapter and I get 4K output (but only at 30Hz, not 60Hz).
The other issue is there is no charging port on the adapter. So you cannot charge and watch videos at the same time.
But overall, it is working as advertised and a nice touch is that the phone screen automatically dims when connected to an external display.

Thanks for mentioning this. I was using this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUXA9YK because it could charge the phone whereas the slimport could not. And while it worked it was emitting a sound similar to a "cheap power supply coil noise" that made me uncomfortable using it.
For $20 more the Microsoft Dock is much better made...(metal even!). And it comes with all the extras you mentioned...
The downside is that it needs a power adapter to work...whereas the other one didn't...but it's worth the tradeoff imho.
I have an LG monitor with USB-C so all I do is connect a USB-C cable to my phone and the monitor and it charges and displays the V20 screen.

I have been tinkering with this issue since purchasing a V20 a couple of weeks ago.
Since I travel for work and my Shield tablet LTE is getting long in the tooth, I thought this could be my magic bullet solution...
My findings:
Chromecast/Miracast works great so long the chromecast is connected to the internet.
The gen1 Microsoft wireless display adapter has horrible lag.
Then I found the J5 Create usb-c dongle. Its a pricey 80.00 USD.
I have not tried the ethernet port but everything else works with the exception of the pass thru charging.
Oddly enough, the LG G5 (my work phone) does charge quickly using this device. Yes, all ports do work besides untested ethernet.
Im not sure if this limitation is harware or software related since both phones share very similar innards.
Too bad the official Slimport adapter does not have pass thru charging since that would be the best way to go...
If you find a solution that allows for pass thru charging, please let me know.
Update: I have now tried the insignia branded adapter. This one as well as the J5 Create version do not charge the V20. The battery icon indicates that it is charging but it dischages at 2% per 10 minutes.
The G5 indicates charging and actually does charge.
So, the search continues for an adapter that will actually charge the V20.
The ones made for MacBooks and computers with USB-C work with the V20, I have bought and tried many as I work at an electronics retailer. Even the hub ones that add USB ports, check out the Satechi USB C HDMI hub, it gives you passthrough charging as well as 2 3.0 USB ports and an HDMI.

I use this to connect to HDMI display, wireless USB keyboard and mouse, and USB to Ethernet adapter all while maintaining a steady charge.
The reason behind this compatibility is that the V20 is actually one of the first few phones with a real USB 3.0 (that's right not 2.0!) type C port so basically any USB 3.0 C peripherals will work as they are in spec with the connector.
Actually, Slimport follows all DisplayPort standards. I decided to take a chance and picked up an Insignia multi adapter from BB today. I'm very pleased to announce to you all that it works beautifully. Video stream has very little lag, if any at all, it charges the phone while mirroring. Even Netflix didn't complain at all. It also throws in a USB 3 port that works fine as well. I tested all of these before posting, after watching about an hour of Netflix and Amazon videos, barely warm to the touch.
