There are lots of USB ethernet adapters around, Just wanted to share my experience .
First i bought this , Which is not working with Prime . Prime is not even recognizing this one.

Then went to Radioshak and brought this one, Which works beautifully with Prime.

Belkin makes really TopNotch products. This is a good find, thanks for this. I was looking for one.
Hi, I ordered this and it arrived today and works great. Picks it up straight away as an ethernet port. Got 40 mbs. I am in the uk.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0015TC0D0
Thanks a lot for this first hand experience guys - I buy my stuff from Amazon either in the UK or the USA and live on the other side of the world so I need to make sure that the stuff I purchase actually works as returns are not an option!
I have tried two devices, and both work well:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00484IEJS/
and
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10311&cs_id=1031102&p_id=6150&seq=1&format=2
Because the Monoprice device doesn't have any cable, I recommend getting a short USB extension cable to use with it. The device plugs into the keyboard dock and the Cat 5 cable, which is thick, cumbersome and a bit unforgiving, plugs into the other end and creates unwanted tension. I got a 1.5 foot USB extension cable for less than $1:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030304&p_id=8604&seq=1&format=2
Both of these devices work well with the Transformer Prime.
The Belkin one looks by far the nicest, I have always found them to make quality products too.
Amazon.com sell it for $5 cheaper and will ship to the UK (and i presume Europe too): http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F4U047-RS-Ethernet-Adapter-100MBPS/dp/B005UUY24A
Thanks. Ordered my Belkin adapter today.

Hi, before I buy one, I need to figure this thing out first.
My ADSL MODEM requires a pppoe tool for my PC to connect. If I use a usb ethernet adapter on prime, how do I go on line? is there any pppoe apk that works for prime? thanks.
This also works!

The speedtest.net result in your signature, is that from your Prime connected via that USB gigabit dongle?
If not, would you mind posting your results using the same connection you have setup in your video?
Thanks.

I tried to find a spare USB cable for the Eee Pad and no luck. It makes me nervous to have a proprietary format cable without a spare.
Considering how difficult is to the get an Eee Pad, I wonder how to get the cable...

Just wait a little bit, the galaxy tab also had a proprietary plug and now ebay is flooded with adapter/plug/charger, i guess we will see more accessories when stock will be easily available...
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?

just about all the cheap ones do (i think some have mini-usb) also the archos, xoom, i believe the iconia has a full usb port...

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
quick question:
Will micro HDMI to HDMI cable work or is MHL adapter/micro usb to HDMI required?
It's my understanding that our old microhdmi to hdmi cables we used for our evo 4g will not work with the evo 3d. Instead, we will need an MHL adapter or microusb to HDMI cable.
Just want to verify my understanding. I am sure somebody else is wondering this too.
MHL is required. my question is where do we get it at? only one i see is the one that comes with the samsung phone. i called sprint and they said there is one in the box but i really doubt this person at sprint knew what i was talking about.

I created an account just to tell you: Thank you for posting this. I don't know how to thank you using the forum yet, so I'll just say it.
I went to a bunch of stores yesterday asking about the adapter, and none of them even knew what MHL was.
Many thanks!

Now, purely for education, will there ever be a "microusb to hdmi" cable?

I don't think so.
I believe the reason for the MHL adapter is because the HDMI doesn't provide a charge for the phone.
I could've sworn there was an early hands on video on YouTube where the sprint/HTC Rep said it can charge via HDMI... let me do some digging.

I remember the same thing. The cable is supposed to have some sort of port for connecting a cable to charge the device from what I understand.

at ~0:31 she mentions the MHL connector has a port to, I assume, plug in a DC source in order to simultaneous output HDMI and charge.
i bought universal mhl adaptor from t mobile that they sold for the sensation .. but when i plug into my phone and then try and toggle my tv to the hdmi source that the phone is plugged into it doesnt pick up a signal from that port.... is there something that has to be enabled on the phone?
I fot mine from tmobile website. Cheapest I found and works like a charm. Plus every store I called asked "what's an mhl cable?"

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).

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.

I have the USB one in your Amazon link. I can play a movie, and open files from a thumb drive. Once plugged in, it opens like it's a folder on the drive.
I also bought another one from Amazon that has a short piece of flexible cable, so that I don't have the huge hemorage hanging from the side. It works too, but the connector cover came off the connector, so I glued it. It was less than $10, but I don't have a link right now for it.
I can also confirm (though probably not a surprise) that a USB HD does not work. The message says "High powered USB device" and won't connect. So you'd need a powered hub for that.
I bought such a cable off ebay for 7 dollars shipped
Works exactly as expected.

Just bought a galaxy tab 2.
I am very new to this tablet, its my first android tab.
Well i want to use it as usb host primary for usb 3g stick for gprs/ 3g, will this accesory work or what else more i need for this stick to work. ?
Looking at getting a GT-P3113 this weekend and need to have the USB connection to external HD as well but do not see the needed 30 pin connector in photos of the tab online to make the Samsung USB connection kit to work.
Does the GT-P3113 at Best Buy/Staples have this connection setting.
Thanks!
Just got mine today. USB thumb drive works, and files are readable. My iMac mouse and keyboard don't work. I believe I need to get a AC adapter for my USB hub and then route them through that. As stated earlier in the thread I believe high powered devices need to be plugged into a usb hub that is connected to a power source, before plugging it into the adapter. This is an Android OS issue I believe.

USB wired mouse. (Older Logitech optical) Freaking this is cool as hell!
USB wireless mouse (Logitech MX Revolution)

As others have said, what is a 3G dongle?
As far as OTG cables, I got this combo (along with a few other cables from that seller). The OTG cable works fine, as do the rest of the cables I got. The fit is a little bit more snug then the cable that came with my tablet, but everything works great and the quality is very good as well for eBay cables from China.

Hi Guys,
Sony Mobile this morning has announced that a dedicated docking station for the Sony Xperia P is still alive. However, it won’t be called the SmartDock anymore, Sony is calling it the Xperia P TV Dock. So how does it differ from the SmartDock? Well it still has the HDMI output to connect to your TV, but it gets rid of the two USB 2.0 ports.
Do You Like It ?

Why would they take something amazing and kill it. Without being able to plug in a wireless keyboard or mouse, whats the point? Anyone want to bet that they will release a BlueTooth controller to go with this? Its the only way I can see it working now.
I wonder if they did it deliberately to stop people plugging in an external drive full of movies, pushing streaming services instead? It can't be a costs thing surely? A USB hub retails for £1.
And why is it a micro HDMI on the back? If it is to be the core of a home entertainment suite I would want full sized HDMI, for consistency if nothing else (and the fact the cables are 5x cheaper).
What does this possibly give you over a normal phone stand? Where is the USP?
Baffling.
Edit: should have read the post first. The dock itself has BT? WTF? Its like the team that designed it have never used a smartphone before, or are even aware of what device is actually going to be plugged into it.
Opinion revised from Baffling to Bewildered.

Why not? When the phone is connected to the tv, and you are 10 feet away on the couch, how will you use YouTube?

I am gonna buy the dock purely to use as a charging cradle for my P so I am HAPPY with the change as it means it will cost less
I'm gonna buy this with the Sony EP851 (since I don't believe it will come with an AC adaptor) which should be out by then and am gonna use this dock to enable the simplest (and prettiest) drop and charge solution I can think of. They could axe the HDMI output too for all I care

Hi Viiv, I think you may want to look at what else is available first. For one, the swap out from a USB hub to a bluetooth solution will add loads to the cost, I would guess this will be around £35. Second, the EP851 is not that special. Oh, and third, because of the BT, it will probably drain power (costing you money) when the phone is not docked.
If you dont care about the BT or the TV out, can I suggest something like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150799144967
I have two of these. Each came with a really nice dock and a 1500 ma charger (performs exactly the same as the EP851) a data cable and a charge cable. I estimate the Sony equivalent would be around 6x more expensive (£10 against 35 + 25). As a bonus, the stand I use has a removable spacer, allowing you to dock your phone when it is in a case. I cant see the equivalent on the SXP TV Dock.
True, this is for the SXS, but an SXP version must be on the way.
Oh, and one last thing, the "Sugar Cube" trick worked a treat at removing that nasty logo. Take a white sugar cube, dampen it and rub it over the logo. It is abrasive enough to take the lettering off but not abrasive enough to damage the plastic.

What Bluetooth. There is no Bluetooth in the dock lol. When they say Bluetooth they are referring to the built in Bluetooth of the phone lol.
Instead, the Xperia P TV Dock has Bluetooth which can be used to connect a keyboard and mouse (as long as they support it). The addition of Bluetooth is a sensible move given the plethora of accessories out there

Umm that article is misinformed. Why would there be Bluetooth in the base when the phone has Bluetooth?
Next time use the right forum.
