I don't get it, what's the point. The phone reads the USB storage? What would the application for such a setup be?
EDIT: Will the phone actually read data from an attached USB drive setup like this? That actually would be super cool if it works that way now that I re-think it (sorry tired from being overseas, my head is kinda out of it). If it works like that I'm in for one for sure.
yes it works natively.you just plug in, wait for the notification to tell you its scanned and its ready to go.
edit: and just like plugging into your computer, make sure you select the unmount option in the notification bar when you are done to keep from corrupting it

In that case I'm totally in for 1! Just pressed BUY IT NOW. That's really cool, would be nice to have my ROMS\Radios\Movies\Music and carry them when I travel and plug in and copy as needed.

So does it just add it to media\show up in ES File Explorer, or do you have to use the Connect to PC mode or how do you access it? What do YOU use it for?
you navigate to it the same as you would your ext sd its labeled "usbStorage"
/sdcard/usbStorage
i just got it, but i planned on being able to use it for movies (16gb usb drive) and school work, i can now write papers on my phone and save to usb so i can print haha but im sure there are countless other uses

Yeah, I don't get it why the tablet market has stayed so strong. I have an iPad 2 for the SOLE reason of it's battery life as a media player when I travel. I literally do NOTHING with it except use it as a media player. Kinda annoying carting it around the world along with my MacBook air, but the battery life at 10 hours just makes it unable to be replaced by a laptop, and the screen size is perfect for airplane\airport\hotels without having to get out the laptop.
do you like your air? ive actually been considering replacing my tablet with an air... i know this is a "love android hate apple" forum but i like what i like. i thought about putting the money i get from the tablet towards oen

I'm not the type to take sides. I've gone from iPhones to Android on the phones, but I've been around the block with Android tablets and they're not fully baked yet. For a tablet I want a dumbed down device that just lasts forever and does 1 thing well - MEDIA. That's why I have iPad 2.
As far as the MacBook air goes, yeah, it's hands-down the best laptop I have ever owned, and I've been around the block. Apple designs a solid laptop, and with the form factor you can't go wrong. I've been Mac for about 5 years, and keep downsizing (Macbook Pro to Macbook to now Macbook air) ... I have an iMac for my primary computer (desktop), and I'd say spend some time with an Air at the store to see if it's a fit for you if you're using as primary computer, maybe consider the 13" (mine is 11").... but it's AMAZING for portability and overall use. Even though it's been out for 2 years it still turns heads in coffee shops and airplanes, and is still as fun to use as the day I got it.
Not really sure why people on here are so anti-mac sometimes. Some of the devs use mac, and there's developer support, but I guess some people just become tunnel-visioned with their fanboyism. I'm an equal opportunity fanboy of Apple and Android. You have to be logical and realize that Apple does some things well, and Android does things well. If people couldn't diversify their selection we'd all have Hyundai Cars, Hyundai Microwaves, Hyundai TVs, and everything the same.... this would would suck that way haha.
Had one of these from my Nokia E6. Works like a champ, but making these 2 USB host each other creates a space time warp. lol
Just bought one! cant wait to try it out. Is there a way to hook up two usb devices at the same time with a splitter?

You need an external hub - and the phone needs NTFS support.
I'll add the NTFS modules in my next release, but do note - NTFS drives must be mounted manually to my knowledge.

You are right. Things always how up once the supply gets going... I wish they did not have a proprietary cable. I understand why they did it but...
I'm a little disappointed they didn't just use MicroUSB.... then and again, I don't think any of the tablets on the market currently do?

An OEM that releases a device that uses a proprietary cable to supply the device with power IMHO has a responsibility to see to it that customers can readily purchase replacement cables. People do lose/break things and without a way to charge the TF it's an expensive paper weight. I hope Asus is listening & will rectify this situation quickly, I'd love to purchase a backup cable.
I would like to have another one so I can have one at home and one at work. I forgot the cable at home today and now can't connect it to my computer here at work.

Problem with the galaxy tab is it uses a connector that is very similar to Apples connector except that the pin backplane is reversed, which wouldn't be hard to change for manufacturers of non-licensed Apple connectors
http://fatmixx.com/tag/pdmi/
While Asus's cable connector is probably made in house and proprietary
so who knows how long it will take for others to make knockoffs of the connectors
It would have been nice if Asus included a micousb connector on the transformer at least for charging and data sync
I created a folder on my Windows PC desktop and 'shared' it, then in ES Lan added a new server using the IP address of my PC.

Definitely hoping they'll release the official cables soon or allow 3rd party to make them. Kinda sucks when my cable broke and no other ways to charge the darn thing.
Really having a hard time only having one cable, and especially since it is a cheap feeling one to start with

Thats what i thought too, but i need to charge it in my car, and it wont charge with any of my cigarette lighter USB chargers because it uses the damn special charger from Asus
Either i wait for a car charger or just buy another charging pack and hook it up to a power inverter in my car
I really wish they would have just used a standard USB connector instead of a USB 3.0 one
Hi dear xda developer citizens )))
I purchased a Samsung Vibrant T959 phone.
but having a troubles connecting it to TV via 3.5mm tv out.
I am using a Nokia CA-75U cable as recommended in many places but it is not working.
I am having some terrible noises on the TV screen.
I already searched this forums and found some threads about this issues.
in many of them it says that i should use the nokia cable but i already did and its not working =(
i also tried to switch the PAL and other mode but it didn't helped me too =(
any ideas how can i fix this?
Thank you in advance!
and I also tried to change places the red, yellow and white jacks. it also didnt worked =( i'm still having a terrible noises on the TV screen
however the signal is sent to TV cos there is a something appears on the TV screen but completely cant see anything. only noises and other stuff.
btw, I just want to know, is my phone has some problems or i just have to try another TV OUT cable?
P.S.
sorry for noob questions, i'm just very very new to this phone )
Make sure and use NTSC in the us. Also make sure the cable is all the way in. I had that problem when I first got my phone as well. If the cable has three rings then they all have to be popped into the Jack. The last click is a bit harder than when you plug in headphones so its easy to miss it. Don't be afraid to push the plug in pretty hard. Also if your using a custom rom you may want to check to make sure it supports video out.

I already tried to push it really hard.
it is pushed to maximum!
but still cant make it work =(
and also tried to use both PAL and NTSC but it didnt worked either. =(
by the way, what you mean with custom rom?
what is that?
sorry for dumb questions ) i'm soo noob =(
oh yes, and one more thing!
my nokia cable has a big metallic stuff on its back.
can it prevent it from getting all way inside?
P.S.
i'm not trying to watch avatar on the TV. i know, it'll not work cos its drm file.
but nothing else works. no screen, no web browser, no even sound.
however th signal was sent to TV cos I can see some noises on TV
how do you thing, is my phone is defective?
or i shud just try antoher cable
Check my threads. I found a ipod cable on amazon that finally worked. Ill post a link later today

omg, dude, i read your posts and understood that not every cable works with it.
I have same situation like you. I had an original Nokia cable that camed with my fathers Nokia N95 8gb but it didnt worked. (however some people say that it worked for them)
by the way, when you had a problems with this, did you have the same terrible noises on the TV screen? or something else?
Oh yes, plis gimme the link to the cable that worked for You
You did turn tv out on on the phone right? Not saying your an idiot but there have been so many threads about this and over half was because the person did not flip the tv out on on the phone. I can say that mine works fine with the zune cable with two colors flipped around on the cable.
I am just asking about the switch so don't take it as me putting you down, it has been a commonly missed item.

If you flash a new rom like cyanogenmod then TV out wont work. But if your on the stock rom you should be good. Ive used a few different cables... one from an iPod and one from a digital camera and a few generic ones and I haven't had one not work yet. One of the generic ones had a bit of uneven plastic at the end that prevented it from being pushed all the way in so you might check for that. Also as stated above, make sure TV out is enabled.
The TV will generally pick up noise even when the cable isn't plugged into anything so unfortunately that's not nessiarily an indication that its working... (try plugging it into the TV and touch the other end with your finger, you'll see what I mean.)

Yes yes I already red all of the topics about this TV Out problems on this forum
and tried tu push it really hard. but its on maximum.
firefly6240,
i havent installed any other ROMs
i bought it just about few days ago.
I think it also can be cause of that plastic thing on the end of the cable that prevents it to get all the way in.
so guys, what else I can do to make it working?
or if its cause of the cable, can you please advice me which cable I should buy?
Thank you in advance =)

this might be a dumb question, but what does the cable you have look like?
is it red white and yellow plugs on one side and a 1/8th inch plug with three rings on the other?
or is it just red/white with two rings?
or just yellow/white with two rings?
the ones I've got to work have red white and yellow with three rings.
my cable is Nokia CA-75U cable.

I purchased mine at Best Buy for $9.99 a while ago but they no longer carry it. I bought it for my crappy Insignia Media Player but it's also meant for IPod (not IPod Touch or IPhone). I plugged it into my Vibrant, enabled TV-Out and voila! It works! Yellow plug for video, red/white audio. I think Amazon has it:
http://www.amazon.com/Dynex-DX-IPAVC-composite-mini-phone-4-pole/dp/B000MAET1O
Or just google Dynex DX-IPAVC and see where it's cheapest. I'm guessing any cable that does TV-out for IPods should work as long as they're not for IPod Touch/IPhone.
NOTE: At first I couldn't get this cable to work. I read through this thread about not having the cable pushed in all the way..It turns out the case I bought for my Vibrant was preventing the plug from being inserted all the way in. I removed the case and now it goes in all the way and TV-out works great!
Hey guys)
Just ordered two cables from Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260567288607
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...6&si=umjAzdDBJbmTdk9cATzbFA5dx3o%3D&viewitem=
Hope they will work =)
I'll write in this thread as soon as I test them so the other people will know which cables are working =)
YAAAAY =)
Good news everyone! =)
today I received this cable:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260567288607
and it worked with my Vibrant =)
very coool )
just bought NOVA and playing it on my TV =)
anyways, if you want a working cable take it )
it will work =)
and by the way, thanx to everyone who helped me with choosing the cable =)
I was having the same problem also but to fix my issue I plugged 'red' into 'yellow' and 'white' into 'white' and left the yellow plug out.
This worked for me.
Just my 2.
My cable is also meant for IPod (not IPod Touch) and works fine with my Vibrant's TV out. So just get any IPod AV cable and you should be all set.
Oh and make sure you plug it in all the way. The case I bought for my Vibrant was blocking the plug from going all the way in. I have to remove the case if I want to use TV out, something to keep in mind if you just bought a cable and can't get it to work. Time to find another case....or maybe I'll just cut a larger opening in the case with an exacto knife....hmm...
hahah guys, today I received my second cable for Samsung galaxy s xD
this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...6&si=umjAzdDBJbmTdk9cATzbFA5dx3o%3D&viewitem=
and its not working xD
however Ipod cable works well xD
anyways, never order samsung galaxy S cables for Vibrant xD
cos they will not work with him xD

Yeah, I've got one. It does what it says but a word of warning, it sits loosely when connected to the transformer. It's very handy though as I don't have a dock and so far everything I've plugged into it works well.
I just got mine today (actually 30mins ago).
Already taken it apart and are going to modify it. I dont fancy having 1dm extra height on my tablet, especially not on the underside. (edit: ok I lied, its actually only 8.3cm..... only...)
And yes, it sits quite loosely.
Im going to post a guide if my mod is successful. I am also going to try and add a charger port on it.

I don't know if it would be possible but how about adding another usb port. This would save using a USB hub to connect more than one peripheral to the transformer.

Simply adding another usb port isnt possible, you still need the hub control chip.
That would be possible to do but would require you to make a new 'case' for the adapter, and it would get quite big (relatively).

That was what I was hoping as I don't have a dock either. I wonder if you can plug a wireless keyboard/mouse adapter into it.

Yes, you can. I tried with my set (from Acer Aspire PC) and it worked without any problems.
You can find them on ebay. Relatively expensive though.

In fact, there's one going right now, fairly cheap, but you might be bidding against me....
seller is 'buyspry'
I really miss a right-click feature when using a mouse while remote controlling a PC :/... not that that has anything to do with the adapter though.
Im not sure I should post my guide on how to add a cable to the adapter... It wasnt my best day and it turned out quite disasterous I somehow managed to kill 2 solder points so had to find alternative source lol
And I gave up on the charging port... I couldnt for the life of me figure out which pins is for charging. The ones I thought (by comparing to the original charger cable) turned out to just short-circut the TF

The pins used for the USB adapter isnt even present in the default sync/charging cable, unless youre DAMN good at soldering and can solder cables on pins the size of 0.01mm with 0.01mm spacing.

Just ordered this item on DX:
Let's see if I got a default USB port while without the dock, using my plain cable from TF101 attached to this usb female adapter.
Yes, I've a dock but most of the time I don't use it. I preffer use it inside a leather case which doesn't fits the dock.

Did that work?
Can anyone who has the dk30 dock connector throw it on a tester to find out which pin is positive and which is negative in relation to the phone? I have my ultra coming today and would like to cnc myself a few docks (One for the shop, one for home and a wider dock plate for my truck) at my shop instead of buying 3 docks and customizing one for the truck.. I am planning on using some thick acrylic to make the docks. I will share the results here when I get them done.
Thanks!
Someone has to have purchased one of these docks who has a simple voltage tester!
After reading the bad reviews on the dock, I want to start making these custom docks. I have everything I need to make the docks except the pin layout on the device. I don't want to risk applying current backwards seeing the connector is only able to be installed one way.
All I need to know is which pin is positive and I can make the mold for the docks.
I would like to know this too! Please someone with the DK30 make a quick measurement!
Regards
parts ordered
I have pogo pins, micro usb breakout boards, and small rare earth magnets on order. I plan on making a mold for a connector which can be used in different dock configurations. I have a cnc router so can simply make either wood or plastic docks (maybe even aluminum) to receive the custom connector. If all goes well, I should be able to reproduce them. If someone can take this reading for me, I will send them a dock when I complete them (only the first person). I will also post the results in a new thread. 4 days with the ultra and I'm already sick of the doors over the ports. I can do better than the sony dock for sure!

I made a prototype out of some white corian while waiting for the rest of the parts to come in. I ultimately want to be able to plug a micro usb into the back of the dock as that is mainly what I have everywhere already. The full sized usb on the Sony dock is just stupid! Anyway this is just a quick one.. no magnets, just gravity to make the connection. I will be making an improved version as soon as my parts come in. I also plan on incorporating an nfc tag so I can set up the phone to open car mode when on the road, a clock when next to the bed, etc.

One question. How can you plug USB while docking? Seems your dock cover the USB slot, like other dock I saw (expect sony dock).

I'm not sure why I would want to use the dock at the same time as connection ting the device Over USB. I use wireless transfer for files and seldom have a reason to plug in other than for charging. In fact I Wonder if there would be a problem connecting 2 power sources at once.
USB can be use for plug OTG as well. Like usb keys, xbox controller and as much usb devices android accept. It is true that each person use things differently, prior use for me when I finally will get a dock will be for can use OTG and charge my phone in the same time. As main reason I limit use of Keyboard, mouse and xbox controller on android devices is mainly because I can't charge in same time. Magnetic charging really seduced me ^^

I am waiting on some micro USB breakout boards as well as Some magnets to play around with. I will keep this current design for use at my shop, but am planning a car dock and one for next to the bed. Both will have a nfc chip embedded in them. I will post the final product here or will more than likely link to a new thread. I have to see how long they take me.. I have a lot of work at my shop right now. If I can make an easily repeatable design I may make a few to sell.. I'll let you know....

Everybody definitely has their own preference! I use a bluetooth mouse, keyboard and controller. Otg was way too cumbersome, especially when having to use a powered hub. I love the ultra because i can log in remotely to my computer and tweak cad drawings on the road if in a pinch using the mouse and keyboard.. the screen size and resolution on this thing are great. Bluetooth just works so much better for me. i have never had a need to attach a thumb drive to my phone.
A dock which allows you to access the usb port would be easy enough though. I simply don't ever want to open the door to the usb port again Hell, I may even make a custom connector for use with a power pack so that can use the dock pins as well!

For me nothing is more reliable than a wire connection "fastest, most stable and never need to charge". I agree wireless is more comfortable but not work better.

When I was trying to work with a hub and otg to use a mouse and keyboard I the past, the results were not reliable at all.. The newer blue tooth stuff (I'm using all 3.0) has been very dependable for me.. Each use case is different though.
anything new on this ???

Looks good , will you be making a version that works with a case on the phone ?
For example I'm using a Incipio DualPro That I cut & modified in the spot
were the Magnet charger hooks up . I would be interest in both car & desk mount
if it would work with my case on & a set of both for when I don't use my case .
THANKS for the update .
Any Updates on your docks ???
Was also wondering if you might want to tackle a project & make a belt clip the phone can
slide in similar to this 1 , but maybe with the holder section on the magnet side placed above
& below the charge section . I would be very willing to pay for a couple & a friend who has the
Z ultra also would like a couple . I'm sure there is a market for it .
link to example of what I'm talking about .
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Hard-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3f29d6db91
I am talking about just the section are Phone would slide into so we can clip it onto our belt , computer bag , backpack , pocket , ect ...
please let me know what you think ??? :fingers-crossed:
These car docks could turn into your next business venture.
I'm an OTR truck driver. I use my Note 2 for all the normal stuff plus I have a truck GPS that runs on it. Needless to say that it is on my dash 24x7 due to other trucking apps. One of my big problems is due to the vibration USB ports don't last long. I love the magnetic charge. I like the high sides for control of the unit. I do have 110 volt power running to the dashboard to plug things in.
If you decide you are going to make a few of these let me know how much. I'm sure truck drivers will eat these up. I can see where these phones and going to be popular. For those who don't know for a truck driver to basically pick up their phone and dial it the fine for him us over $2000. The fine that goes to the company for the same offense is over $11,000. If you are lucky enough to be an owner-operator you get to pay both fines. The use of the processor, OK Google, and other voice command features will explode with this type of phone. We are still allowed to use bluetooth to talk and you can press the button on the side of your headset to do things.
Update The note 3 only supports USB 2. I am unable to update the title.
I was asked to review a new product. When I first received it, I was basically meh on it and thought, yippy another usb hub. Then I opened the box and was quite surprised. The Inateck hb4008 is impressive. You get 3 usb 3.0 ports, but something was quite handy for my laptop use was the the SD Card Reader. It simplified a multi-step process into 1. I used to have to unplug a device, and then pull out the sdcard reader and plug it in, wait for windows to officially detect it then copy my pictures and other media to/from the card. I now use this device 100% of the time and it has given me more ports and saved me quite a bit of time.
So, why am I posting this to a Samsung thread? The other VERY cool thing this has allowed me to do is take the OTG adapter and plug right into my Note 3 or my wifes S4 and get a keyboard and mouse, plus I could use the card reader too. I am writing this entire review using my note 3, with usb keyboard and mouse via this device.
I was going to post pictures but to be honest, they were not the best and there are much better ones on Amazon. I just looked and its 50% off right now, quite a good deal if you ask me.

ok, but it does not seem possible to use the usb port 3 of the note3 but simply as a USB2 port, I see the mini usb connector in the picture.
Someone needs to make one with mhl built in..

Yes indeed, i think for USB 3.0, it needs that extra oomph, hence the extra (integrated) interface in the 3.0 female port in our phones. Shouldn't a cable match the port for 100% USB 3.0?

In fact, looking at the picture you can imagine that is a simple usb 2, at this point I prefer the dock-station.
imo the usb 3 feature is useless, if you gonna use it with you smartphone only, because of the connector. an usb 2.0 hub would do exactly the same thing. but if you wanna use the increased speed, you will need an usb 3.0 otg cable.

I think this is an important comment , the title of the post "usb 3 port review" could be inaccurate
OP updated to reflect the USB2/3 comments.
