Does anyone know of a backup battery that will charge the prime on the Go? I have one for my phone but it only outputs 5V.

I didn't want to have to get it yet. I was holding out to see if it became necessary.
Because it not a regular micro USB port finding another power alternative won't be easy

Try this for a battery backup solution, then all you need is the cable that comes with the wall wart...

Thanks for the suggestion but apparently the prime will only charge with 12V or greater and this only puts out 5v. I have one of these in the 5000mah version for my phone, works exceptionally well but it won't charge the Prime, unfortunatly.
I use this:
http://www.phonesuit.com/primo-power-core-battery-pack-for-tablets-phones/
for the wife's iPad and from what I can tell it would work for my Prime as well. I may have to get another one for me.
I like that phone suit, it's not bad looking, but I have no idea how I'd get the Prime hooked to it to charge especially since it needs their own special plug.
What I'm wondering is why did Asus choose to go with a 3cell lithium ion battery (12.6V charged) when it looks like the other tabs are using a 1 cell (4.2V) like the phones use.

The PhoneSuit has a USB plug on it for the 12V out, so you can use the Asus power cord.

I know the dock will have 2 full size USB ports. But honestly I'd rather just have a little adapter that I can plug into it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have one so hopefully Asus or another brand will produce one to compete!
Would something like this do the trick?

Oh gawd! With this delay and endlessly searching for release times, I forgot about that
How about a dual Female A USB adaptor
Amazon: USB 2.0 Adapter Female A- Female A
...plugged to the cable adaptor that comes in the box?
The cable also has data connectivity for data transfer, it probably should do the trick.
I believe the HongKong electronic shops would come to the rescue. They are known to produce many useless converter before. I don't see why not this time. Probably straight from ASUS connector to USB.
I posted something on on Asus' Campus Life. Please his reply to it and respond requesting this accessory! Look for username Dean.

I hope they make something similar to the hinge on the keyboard dock, so it can actually latch on and has the two usb's and the SD slot, it would also make a nice grip when using the tf vertically. From the pics, what they have so far looks like it's going to stick out a lot and with something that big there is definitely more of a chance it will get knocked out and possibly damage the port.
Dont we have to have usb host support first for the transformer and dont we have to wait for honeycomb 3.1 for that?

Doesn't look so. And some people reported that Female A - Female A adaptors work for some devices (those that have their own power source probably) - there is a thread about it somewhere in this forum. I tried it but my pendrives nor mouse didn't work (there is probably no power line in the USB cable that is used for charging and connecting to computer).

Any ideas on release date to the USB adapter ? Pete
yes,is possible to diy cradle for table s and can be recognise by it.
start from the power plug,
let's name the contact of plug from end to 1234
from the note on power adapter,we know 2 is dc+,3 is dc-

contact 1 is about the cradle.tape contact 1 then connect the plug.
look,system show cradle setting ui!
so,diy cradle is so easy:
just make some cradle size ok,
tape the 1st contact of power plug,and set it on the cradle.
done!
it will work same as official cradle
Hey!
First of all: That sounds really great!
But I do not have a lot of experience with such things so I do not have any idea how to construct such an adapter (ok, the technical way is clear so far, but how to construct the case of the adapter?)...
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks and kind regards

Let me know where you can get the DC plug from, as, I'd like to make a car adaptor, as far as I know, it's a Sony Special and not available (yet?)!!!
Wow, this is a great idea, <robin>! Thanks!
I tried this, and although the cradle function is activated on the tablet (as shown in the OP), it didn't charge after I taped that pin 1 on the charger plug...

I looking for a little information as to if it is possible to mirror using HDMI and simultaneously utilize the USB functions for mass storage and other USB connectivity. I would like to build a media station but before I gathered up all the items necessary I wanted to know if it is possible?
As you know, the mini usb out to MHL adaptor is used for HDMI mirroring. When you plug your charger into the MHL adaptor it is for powering only the MHL. So, no you can't use usb for anything.
Can you do whatever else you want by bluetooth or wifi? Like keyboard or mouse or what?
I have not been around for a while I have lost touch with things but I know that MHL is for mirror display. I had older phones where I made concoctions where I could charge and at the same time use USB functions. Just needed a lil help with the pin out to know if it was possible or not. I want to use my device as a media center where it is the game console, substitute PC, and etc. Just trying to find a way to make that happen.

Friend, don't take my response the wrong way. I am not being condesending. When I answer a question I try to answer not just to you but to the others that may read our discusion and not know what you know. So please, no offense intended at all.
Anyway, is there any possibility using bluetooth or wifi?
An article in Cnet:

Looks like the note can't but the SIII can.
If anyone is looking for the samething as I was check out the threads that show you how to Bluetooth the PS3 controlled to your android device. I have done it, and it is awesome.

So my bluetooth suggestion was the correct direction? Cool. I didn't think the MHL adaptor our phone uses was flexible at all.
Thanks for sharing.
If you feel you need the credit then it is all yours. Congrats!

No thanks, keep it. You seem very stingy.
Warning, your warrantee is now void. I take no responsibility for damaged devices doing this mod, nor any issues that may arise in the future from doing this
Just felt like posting this little mod I did to a Nabi 2. After re soldering tge wires on the oe charge cable it finally couldnt be fixed anymore. It didnt take long for me to get frustrated with the flimsy, thin charge...thing, and rip it open to see what could be done.
After a little poking and prodding I found the simplest solution.
It seems the 5v pin on the usb port is electrically separate from the charge circuit, but they all share a common ground. Soldering directly to the usb port was all but impossible because of how the port is designed, and my soldering iron isnt that tiny, but I found a resistor tied to the 5v pin.
I soldered a wire to the resistor since it had a decent surface area to get a solid solder joint, then soldered the wire to the positive pin on the charge port. The result? Micro usb charging.
I have found a bit of a glitch however. Plugging the device into a pc does properly kick it into usb storage mode, but because of the low amperage, it begins to cycle the charge system between charging an not (as if contantly plugging and unplugging the device) the same happens if you use a charger rated lower than 1amp or a bad cable.
Besides that it seems to be doing fine

Thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of this years ago. Been searching for the original cable to try and make some use of the tablet and decided to see if it was possible to charge via usb. Couldn't have been easier to modify and it works perfectly.
Hi guys,
just buyed a Mi Box 3 Intenational Version (MDZ-16-AB) two weeks ago. Suddendly, after two days of use, the power supply died. Bought a PSP one that works. The problem is that now it don't pass the boot animation, it restarts. It sometimes even show "Android" but then it restarts again. I've tried every guide on the internet for this model and nothing works. I've tried:
- using the images that you only have to put in USB disk and reboot into recovery
- putting the update.zip into the USB disk and then "Install from EXT" -> "udisk"
I always do a factory reset before install an image.
Nothing works, unfortunally. The box stills bootloop. I'm out of ideas so I came for your help.
Do you know any way to get the Mi Box back to stock an working? Do this already happened to someone?
Thank you.
The MiBox uses a very specific 5.2v 2A power supply.
Have seen many problems with more common 5.0v power supplies that dont match MiBox spec.
The huge internal heat sink is the reason for 5.2v requirement.

Are you sure that can be the reason? The only 5.2 2A adapters that I can found costs 20€. Thats almost half of what I paid for the for, would not want to spent that without certain.
Here's the charger that I buyed:

Hi guys! Just to close the subject, it was the charger. I stripped down the 4mm x 1.7 mm of the original charger and a USB cable and put them together. Using the improvised cable with a iPad charger (5.15v 2.1 A) the box lives again .
TL;DR : use a charger with the exact box specifications or the box will not work.
