This one to me looks the best
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...r-android-smartphones-and-ta?ref=home_popular

Greekman that is the best adapter I have seen so far for my purposes as well. what do you think the chances are that one will be made in a form factor that doesn't scare me by threatening to snap off like a dry twig? I would like one but that looks like it could be fragile...

I have both of these and they work fine on the DNA as far as the OTG side.

http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-Ada...F8&qid=1367446989&sr=8-2&keywords=OTG+Adapter
I bought one or both of mine from a US retailer. I think I bought one US (for like $10) and one from overseas because I needed on sooner rather than later. If I'm ok with buying something that will take a few weeks to get here usually I don't need it. So that's why I tried the two different styles. Both work really good, most of the other ones on amazon or ebay are just one of those two styles. The one with the 90 degree conection has a long USB male plug and would work even with a case blocking the plug housing from mating up to the device.

Thanks for the suggestions. They are pretty cheap on amazon so I will try one and if I don't like or won't work for some reason I will by another. Etc....

Try a different TV, other Android video out ports haven't played nicely with certain hdmi inputs in the past.
Got mine. Works well except it didn't bypass what I hoped it would. I thought maybe on an HTC, the NFL Mobile app would not shut off the HDMI out for live content. Turns out, it still does. Booooooo!
I want Red Zone without having to buy Sunday Ticket. Does anyone know if this can be solved via root or does the NFL Mobile app pretty much hose you no matter what?
Got a different rezound from Verizon and now it works. No sound through hdmi though just picture?

I honestly just picked a cheap, most likely mass produced one off of ebay and it works out fine. It was like a dollar or two, total.
I bought from ebay uk last year. 1.5 £. Works fine

Just use ebay! They are mass produced, it's only a resistor soldered across two of the pins. They're very easy to make.Hence why you can get them cheap.
As the others said, got mine from eBay too. Really cheap and it works.

Oh come on, it's what ? 1 pound, 2 pounds on eBay ? go wild, live dangerously, order from two sellers at once At that price, biggest risk is getting the jigs shipped in an envelope coloured in a colour you don't like.

Or if you're really bored with spare time on your hands then just solder a 300kΩ resistor over pins 4 & 5 of a chopped up mini USB adaptor. Also that way if you make it yourself you know it's gonna be good quality.

With ICS, and thanks to Chainfire, you no longer need to buy a jig
Use the software equivalent Triangleaway instead Will be good to buy it from the market also to support the dev's amazing efforts.

If not careful, that's why I'm staying away for now.

Flashing the old bootloader & using the jig also has a (normally very small) risk of bricking your device as well. So I guess it's a case of which pill you want to take
I did it. Worked flawlessly and took less than a second. Cheers guys, and ChainFire of course!

Atrix 4G used pricing

Is $175 too much to ask for an unlocked, excellent condition, spare battery, otterbox commuter case, hdmi, original charger, zagg screen protector?
16GB external sd card
Sent from my MB860 on CM10
Probably not, but I would be making comparisons to items on ebay, and also consider how many Atrix are on ebay. Search for closed listings (Advanced searches). Green price items sold, Red price items did not.

There is a guy selling a Galaxy Nexus for that price. And the recent offer by Motorola to get you to buy another phone from them. I don't think we will get ICS. BTW, you have 911 posts.

I'm not the greatest person to ask since I just came to the Atrix from a Samsung, but this thread will show you how much I got mine for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31050569
It came with a desk dock, car dock, three extra batteries, and a few cases all for 130 shipped. The exterior is scuffed up, but everything is in working order. The screen is good because it always had an invisible skin on it. The fact that it was unlocked already increased the value in my opinion.
Good luck!
Edit: Just saw that you're including the otterbox case (+$10), 16gb SD (+$20), and HDMI cord (+$5) so it seems like you're in the right ballpark.
I think it is. I bought mine at amazon for $194 shipped. It came with a dock, HDMI cable, screen protector, charger, case etc.
If I were you, I'd remove the SD card and drop $20 on the price.
It is very hard to let this phone go. If I can get the Nexus from a guy on Craig list, I will sell it for $150.
I got a feeling we will not see ICS.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I will likely defect to the S3 soon, but I don't plan selling the Atrix. This lapdock rocks!!

I will keep my atrix till it dies. I have 5 other newer phones. I love it. I did just seek my second atrix in ebay for $260 shipped. Good luck.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
EDIT.... forgot I had never used it so it was new. Hence the high resale price.
I originally bought my atrix for $99 at ATT and then recently sold it for $90 at best buy. They take used phones and give you gift cards in return. Thats an option too for instant money but for less money though.
I had my atrix for a year.

Pioneer appradio 2 & arliberator app

So I'm not sure if this is considered an accessory but in my book it is
I just bought the Pioneer appradio 2 and Android connection kit, once I receive the hardware and wire them up in my car I plan to install arliberator which is in the play store. It is supposed to mirror my screen to the appradio as well as the touch function so basically I will be able to use and operate all the apps on my 1X+ right from the screen. Does anyone else have any experience using this setup with the 1X+? The Pioneer website says that our device is compatible. Any input would be appreciated.

Update: works great and all functions work 100%. Only problem is the phone gets super hot up to 117°F , I tried using screen standby but I can't seem to get it to keep the screen off. Until I find a way to keep my phone from getting baked I'm going to use an iPod touch 4th gen which I bought for the purpose of using it as a beater, I don't want to ruin my beautiful 1X+

Hiya Fella,
It's new to me but seeing as I'm a Ham Radio Guy, I'm interested especially as Pioneer have always been pretty darn trustworthy for many years.
What's the Link to the on their site please and i'll be pleased to parallel you on this one.

I think total was around $380 plus the iPod. Look for seller electric Mart on eBay.
Heat goes up very rapidly, maybe 5 minutes. I think it's the mirroring causing the heat.

I was thinking that 117° didn't actually sound that hot for a modern smart phone, so I checked and found this:
“If the phone is in normal use without playing games or calling for long time, the temperature should be around 37°C or 38°C. But if you use your phone to play games or surfing internet for a long time, it will be normal that the temperature rises to around 55°C.“, official statement from HTC.​
55° Centigrade = 131° Fahrenheit
This info was for the HTC OneX, but I'm sure it's applicable for the X+ as well.

I'm sure it'll be ok but I just don't feel comfortable/safe letting my phone get so hot.

Sweet card reader backed on KickStarter

So I backed this project ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta ) couple months ago and I just received it today posting here if anybody interested in picking one up it sounds like they'll start selling it soon to non backers. Way better than using this OTG like cable I've been using for a while now!

This is gonna be a very profitable accessory I can tell already. People stuck with low internal storage capacities need a need a compact product like this to meet their storage needs. The design is quite suave as well which is a plus. I'll look out for it, hopefully the price point is acceptable.
I backed this as well, looking forward to receiving it. Should be perfect for heavy media use.
Looks like the way it is shaped it will interfere with the micro port cover on the DNA.

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.
