I need a long HDMI cable to connect to my TV from my sofa. I found this one on Amazon with good reviews. However, the black plastic part of the microHDMI plug looks quite bulky and I'm wondering if I can plug it into the Primes socket. Anyone had any experience with such plugs?
Yeah, that will work fine. The plastic part never actually goes into the Prime, only the metal tip.

I bought the micro HDMI adapter on amazon that is listed in the Ultimate Accessory Guide post:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C4SHQY/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
And then bought a 15' HDMI cable for $0.81 from Amazon as well. I prefer the adapter approach as this way I won't have a really long HDMI cable that I can only use with my Prime.

I found it on Amazon and it looks really nice
Have anyone tried this ?

I don't think it'd fit our phones well. our usb port is not centrally located on the phone, so I would think it wouldn't balance correctly and would tip.

It's too bad the Atrix has its USB port on the side. It's inconvenient for docks and car mounts.
After looking at this I got an idea. Seems like what your buying is a plastic half-pipe (so to speak) with a detachable USB cable. If you can find it for cheaper buy two of them. Then glue them together really good so it looks professional. (Hot glue works best but be careful cause it gets messy sometimes.) Then take out the USB from the left one. Voila you have a long USB dock that supports the Atrix.
When i plug in my MicroHDMI cable, it is very loose, so much so that if i don't hold the plug in one direction, it will disconnect and reconnect over and over and over again. I have to push it to make contact. very annoying and very sensitive.
anyone have this problem? maybe it's the cable? I really hate how they designed the plugs onthe curved side of this tablet, and that it had to be a micro hdmi instead of mini
Can someone please try their micro hdmi and tell me if this happens? Also which cable are you using?
Yes I noticed this too. I'm using a rocketfish cable from best buy. I've ordered some adapters from monoprice hopefully those work better

Yes -- thank you very much for asking. This is one of six reasons I sent my TP to RMA department. And it gets worse the more you use the micro HDMI. I used it about 4-5 times over 2 weeks.
I don't know what they can do about it though. But it's just another stupid design flaw. Add it to the list of complaints.
Anyone else noticed this problem? Just wondering if it is the receptacle or the cable. And what could be done with it.
I get my cheap micro HDMI cable in on Thursday and will report in
Mine was loose as well.
I think its prob a normal thing on the TFP because of how its so curved on the edges. Overall the TFP is great although as i keep "testing" this, i keep finding small things that i dont like. Im finding it disappointing considering how pumped i was unrapping it.
Got cheap cable from Amazon and it was loose so I sliced a little off the top edge and it fits and works great now.
I just kinda beveled it a little to match the contour

not a bad idea. i was considering making a similar kind of fitting.

funny, i thought of the same thing two. i had bought at 15' cable (cause what's the point if it's just 6') so i can use it from my couch. the first one was ultra loose. but i got another one that came tonight that is MUCH better, not perfect solid but completely live-with-able. maybe it's just the cable plug. but on either plug i noticed that the plastic end of the plug does not hit the tablet. it seems to bottom out on the connector first. so notsure how beveling my cables would have helped.
anyways... thanks for the comments... makes me want to say, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DO MINI-HDMI!
Think the problem with loose cable is the same you can feel with the charger connection and any other stuff you connect to prime
Prime have curved edges. If you look at the cable when it is connected you can see that there isn't any support for the cable on the backside. On the front it looks right but turn the prime over you can see were the problem is.
This can bee notice with the usb-adapter to, that sits really loose because it seems to bee to short. And there isn't any material that support the connection just because Primes curved edges.
Think this is a big failure from Asus. And that they not going to release adapters and cable that are designed for Prime. instead we have to use the same accessories from the first transformer TF101.
got my micro HDMI cable from Amazon today.
It fits all the way in, but does feel "loose", but I get full picture and sound comes out of both my speakers. It doesn't feel loose enough to fall out, and I had a blast playing Shadowgun and GTA 3 on my TV with my Xbox 360 wireless controller
One thing I noticed is that it still displays on both the tablet and the TV at the same time, is there a way to turn off the main display and only display on an external device?
First let me make it clear...
This is strictly a recomendation for fellow Note owners.
I do not have anything to do with sales or anything near..
Wanted to share good stuff for as I really truly find these to be awesome.!
I just received (2) of these from AMAZON. Only $15 bux a pop. Ya Cant Beat It!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9K16W/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Dual USB / AC Plug Desktoop Charger.
Charges via AC while SYNCS USB (leave single or both jacks plugged in)
Bothwork together. Comes w/AC Adapter. Cradle has built in USB cable (so cant lose it!)
Very tiny footprint. Fairly Sturdy. Phone does not tip over.
I actually place one in the ashtray dashboard of my car (wired USB)
Easy feel ... for locking phone on and off of cradle (thats important!!! )
They are the most ALTERNATIVE affordable pricing compared to the OEM desktop chargers which in my opinion are not that good and are about $50 bux or so.
Support Car / Home docking software when phone docked.
Only Con is...BRIGHHHHHTTT blue LED light. Extremely bright.
Had to place a piece of black tape over LED
Thought I would share the 411.
Its hard to find a good alternative these days.....
Thanks for sharing this, just ordered two alongside the OEM Sammy car mount.
Thanks for sharing! Just ordered mine.
How quick does it charge?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one that I want to use to make a custom dock that I can fit in my cup holder in my car, as this phone is too big for my cup holders and that's where I like to keep my phone when driving. Was looking for a good/cheap dock, so thanks again for reporting back on the quality of this one. Definitely a nice price. Free shipping with amazon prime too.
how snug fit it is on the back? is there any room for the case? Will it fit if I have a thin case on?
I see that they also have the one with spare battery charger for $2 more. Interesting.
Hmmm you could probably MHL output while also USB host moding a keyboard/ mouse with this. Gonna buy one to give it a shot
Does it fit when i have a TPU case?
Actually the Samsung OEM dock is great. It's $40 at the ATT store. But I paid $20 with my premiere account.
I bought another on ebay as a back up, but haven't received it yet from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3363wt_1270
This does not actually come with the charger does it? \ Igt says can be used with charger that came with note.
Im confused. \/
so sorry for the delayed response! yes this desktop charger comes with one ac adapter in addition to a usb cable that is a cable built into the charger itself.
it allows you to keep the phone plugged into to both pc & ac wall at the same time with out the need to switch cables
it has a overload protection so no fear of charging burnouts.
it is definetely a snug tight fit onto the cradle itself. never worries about falling over or lose connections. i can say it works super super tight . real happy w/purchase.

Hi people
I wanna show my new items purchased on ebay,all cheap items, sorry for the quality, my LG O1 it's bad with cloudy day
First, the screen protector:
They aren't made for our tablet, because they are for the previus version (galaxy tab 7.0), so we need to cut a piece of layer before apply in the display because if we don't remove we can't hear from the speaker and we have problem with luminosity/proximity sensors.
In the pack there are 3 screen protector, they aren't the best because sometimes there's a scratch in the layer before you put it in the screen but it's okay for the price.
Here you can see the cut for the speaker grill, the hole for the camera is already made:
Second, the TPU cover:
It's just a silicon/plastic cover for protect our tablet from scratches in the rear case and some little knock in the angle, it prevents a lot of micro-scratches (I always put my tablet above a cloth if it is without his new tpu cover)
Third, the USB otg adapter:
This isn't the original but it has VHBW standard quality so it's perfect, I use it sometimes with flash drive, or my mouse or my keyboard for serious business LOL
Here you can buy this article:
Screen protector
TPU Cover (if you search you can find 2 other colors than black in the same seller: clear (it's semitrasparent) and pink for ladies
USB OTG adapter
Sorry dude for my english, have a nice day

I know this cover but I don't buy it because it has tpu over the volume/power button, it hasn't a hole for the microsd and the sim and it has the irda hole.
And I don't like the X style
But it was my first dream
For the USB: you can connect what you want in the female USB that came out from the adapter.
Yesterday I tried with an USB hub but tablet stop current out if you plug more than one USB (I tried with flash drive and wireless receiver for mouse) so you need to plug an USB hub with his wall socket for more current.
I suggest you a wall socket with at least 2 Ampere.
Sorry for my english
With this method you can connect more than 6 USB device (I tried with wireless receiver for mouse, 3 flash drives and a keyboard that required 2 USB port)
Is your TPU cover provide sufficient space for headphone plug?
I bought TPU in another place and need to make bigger hole, so headphone plug stays in place

Watch this photo:
I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.
I use Anker cables without issue

Everything fits here too with All of my different cables and adapters
Mine (1x local cheap store, 1x AliExpress with 90° connectors) work just fine. No issues here.
Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.
Aukey cables are fitting a little bit more tight (than the original one), but nothing to be concerned about. Better more tight that more loose.
