Anyone pick up a car power adapter yet?
Getting the bugs worked out of my GPS, now I need an adapter...
Here's the car mount I picked up...
It's a 12V device so you don't need anything except a plug that will fit and a power port adapter. Tip is positive. You can make one from parts at Radio Shack if you wanted to.

Correct... I might have to do that if there's not an actual power adapter ready to go for the Tab.... I might take a look at the assortment of Igo adapters.
I really like that mount, seems like it fits really well. What is it and where did you get it?

I haven't tried it, but I saw this one listed at Radio Schack:

It has the same volt/amp rating.

I got tired of buying new adapters for each device I buy especially as usually need USB power for Droid1 + whatever else so went with a simple dual out with inverter...

I recall you posted about that in the ZT-180 section. In fact, I think that I inspired you to find it.
I don't know if these tablets can be charged through the USB, like phones can.
Picked up the one from RS that wasserkapf mentioned....
Had to get a seperate tip because the 4 in the package didnt fit...
Worked fine.... Thanks for the feedback...
Where did you get the extra tip?

You would not use the USB for Gtab. Instead used your AC 110 adapter that came with Gtab and plug it in the 110 outlet.

Just picked up a car DC adapter from BigLots for 4$. It is a vector VEC009. It comes with multiple tips and one works perfectly.

Here is the proper link to that adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/Vector-Mfg-VEC009-Universal-Adapter/dp/B000B76UUQ
The price is right, but if a similar one is available locally, at a reasonable price, I would encourage people to buy locally. By supporting local merchants, you help ensure that they survive. It is also easier to return to a local merchant if you have problems with a product.
Thanks.. what is the wattage on this one? Does it deliver the full 2amps that we need? I have a 1.5 amp one and it gets hot fast.
as low as $5.18 on ebay

$5.18 shipped from ebay.
and $6.48 shipped as well.
One thing to ask about though, the specs says max 2A, did you confirm it supplies 2A @ maximum voltage 12v ? were you able to charge the GTab while the it running with blutooth enabled ? The thing is if it doesn't supply the required 2A, the battery might no be charged properly if at all when the GTab is powered up.
Thanks,
I was able to charge the tab while it was running. You adjust the voltage to 12volts and attach the proper tip. For 4$at big lots it was worth checking out.

Hello everybody,
im searching for a "normal" hdmi-cable for the 30-pin connector. i dont wanna have a dock or something.
does anybody know were i can find such cable?!
I have send the DOCK sample to the manufacturer, to make a 30pin--HDMI cable out.
But need sometimes. About 15days later.
XJARL,
Are you sure a cable is possible? Others have suggested that the port needs power and other circuitry (as in the dock) to make the HDMI functional.
Also, I thought that you mentioned you were having it made a month or so ago? What is the delay?
That would be great if there was just an HDMI cable that plugs into the bottom port. too bad they didnt make a HDMI port on the side before. I wont use it enough to get a dock, but if I had just a cheaper cable that would work I would be more inclined to use it. the screen is big enough to where im happy with the media and any movies that I really want to download and watch I will already have on my laptop which has HDMI out for a big screen.
Yes, i'm sure

I had given the DOCK to a factory. They spend a lot of time. Since they are not sure whether there is sufficient market, so delayed. But now, they decided to put it produced.

I went to 4 Shacks and everyone said there was nothing made for this port. Commercially that is.
I think I would find a cable more useful than a dock. As mentioned above, though, they will have to find a way to deal with the power issue. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how it goes.
A cable would be nice for sure
Xjarl - any word on this cable? I am sure we could build up some support here if needed
They just sold Over 10,000 of the Gtablets on Woot the other day. There were several posts directing people to this site as well as discussing the preference of a simple cable VS a dock.
I would hope the market would bear enough to get a run in at this point.

Being the type of person who doesn't like to put charge cycles on a battery if I don't need to, I like keeping things plugged in when I use them. PLEASE ASUS, sell me a cable that is longer then two feet. i can barely put my tablet on my side table because it pulls the cord. Now, my "hidden" needs to be way out in the open for things to reach... I will pay good money for a LONG cable

Doesnt specify which usb type that cable is in the listing. Just says 30inches long. So I would say that was USB 2.0 as well. Theyre usually blue tipped if they are usb 3 btw and theyre new so theyre not cheap.

That's why i usually wait to buy stuff there so that way i get more bang for my shipping, they have tons of stuff and really good prices
FYI & Offtopic
[They have excellent ethernet cables, i very good quality, i have verified them with iperf and tcpbench]
I i thought it was weird it needs a USB 3.0 extension cable
but i looked in the charger and connector USB plugged and there is 1 extra pin in the middle

Did you preorder the dock yet?
I went the other way round... instead of getting a USB extension cable, I assembled a power cord extension cable
I had all the spare parts lying around, so it cost me exactly $0, and maybe 5 minutes of my time...
Has anyone confirmed the 3.0 extension cable works? I I just tried and tested transformer doesn't charge through it. What is worse though is that I breaks the normal charger. I had to unplug everything for 20 minutes to get it to charge again.

Yes, from visions. Amazon had my first order, but I cancelled after seeing visions price on the dock. I think everyone will be gerting the dock in at the same time, so I went on price instead of shipping speed.

I purchased a USB 3 Cable that has the correct amount of pins needed to be used as an extension cable (Male to Female) with the Asus charger, so with a 2 meter cable i can now sit on the sofa with it plugged into the charger to get full charge whilst using the transformer.
Saves having to put it down close to a power point to charge it with the silly short cable that it came with.

From this post HERE.
I'm sure it will charge fine, but pretty sure you won't be able to use it as a data cable to your pc. I've seen a lot of people confusing usb 2.0 with usb 3.0 cables. Be careful as they are very different.

It looks like it comes with an HDMI cable as well. It doesn't say so in the description, but after examining the picture, it looks like the empty port is micro usb, and that is an HDMI cable that comes with the adapter. At least I hope so for that price.
I still don't think it's a good deal, cause I don't need an HDMI cable, and if I did, I wouldn't pay an extra $20 for it. Plus I all ready bought the $20 T-Mobile MHL Adapter
I think the discription is a little repetitive as to what it is for.

Thanks for the link. It seems this little thing is a hot commodity. It told me they were unable to take my order online and I would need to call it in. I'm guessing their out of stock. It sounds like you were smart to order yours before the release date of the Evo 3D.
I'll be waiting for Monoprice.com to come out with one. My guess it could probably be under $10 shipped with an HDMI cable.

but can you charge your phone at the same time with the TMO one like it appears you can with the HTC one? I'm just assuming that's a microusb port next to the HDMI port as seen in the picture.

I just got my HTC MHL adapter for my 3d, and my phone doesn't even recognize it. Has anyone else had this issue?
did you make sure you connected your charger to a power outlet? I made the same mistake when I got the one from T-Mobile!
Yes, I did attach the charger to it. The phone is charging, but doesn't output anything and the hdmi logo doesn't show up in the notification bar. I don't have to change any settings do I?
I didn't have to, I connected the charger that came with the phone, connected the HDMI to the tv, and then connected the adapter to the phone, changed the input settings on my tv, and my home screen showed up on the tv..... Maybe you got a defective one, but I can't say for sure. I know some people were having issues with not using the charger that came with the phone...
Thanks for your help. I will try it again.
My Tmobile MHL didn't recognize either at first, even with the power plugged in. I left everything plugged in, then just did a reboot. Worked fine after that.
Reboot worked like a charm, thanks!

Thanks..now I just need to find one at a good price...
I bought the HDMI MHL Adapter from Monoprice, great price and stuff, but it doesn't seem to work right. For one the power cord doesn't fit good in the HDMI MHL Adapter, it seems like it can't go in far enough to snap and hold so it falls out a lot. Also it took many tries of unplugging and plugging in the phone to get it to work with it. It also has frozen my phone quite a few times, especially if I have the HDMI MHL Adapter hooked up and someone tries to call me. I bought this phone because I wanted to be able to play my movies on friends TVs when I go over their house, but this just doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone else have experience with the Monoprice HDMI MHL Adapter?
I think I'm just gonna buy the one from Samsung.
Thanks for the heads up. Just started shopping around for one.
Mine is on the way, I will let you know if I can make it work

I got mine to work after a long time of playing with it, also you can't move the phone at all because the power cord will keep falling out of the MHL adapter
Make sure you report it to monoprice. They listen. It may take awhile though.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I can confirm this works 100%:

Silly question: I bought a similar one from newegg, but I don't know how to get it to work. For example I'm watching a youtube video on the phone, how do I make it output to the TV? (Of course I had it connected to it through an HDMI cable).
I got mine in the mail last night and it works just fine.
The regular samsung usb cable connected without problems.
Make sure to connect the power on the adaptor before connecting it to the phone.

As in yours, you mean the Monoprice one? It does work? mine has all sorts of problems. Your power cord fits in without it easily just falling out?

Yes, the Monoprice one. The power cord fits easily and stays there. No problems at all.
Just contact Monoprice, maybe you got a bad one.
