I've already got a few of these, but anytime I've asked about them or seen people post links, it's always on Amazon. Many of the ones with cheap pricing have to be shipped from Asia.
Personally I'd rather pay newegg twice as much on something like this than buy it from Amazon. The Egg just has a special place in my heart, we've been through a lot together. When I stumbled across them at Newegg I thought to myself "How did I not find some to order from newegg back when I was shopping for them."
If you're like me maybe I'll save you some trouble. Here's the link.

The link is broken for me.

The DNA has sOTG functionality stock out of the box. Just use a file explorer like Astro file manager and you should be good to go. If it doesn't work, it's the adapter and not the phone. They're kind of hit or miss, but I will tell you it's rare to get one that doesn't work or doesn't work with some devices, it's just that when one doesn't work people make a lot of noise and it seems like a big problem. I bought two different styles (the two really popular ones) in case one didn't work, but both work great.
Actually I've heard that the DNA stock will also host over OTG. Haven't tried it myself, but people report using USB keyboards that work unrooted.

Here's what I did today: I clicked on the "Escalation Mail Box" Contact link on the Asus support website (http://vip.asus.com/eservice/cus_suggest.aspx) and I asked them to release Transformer USB/Charger cables to the US Market. I explained how much I liked their devices; that I own both the TF and the docking station and how worried I am to only have one cable that could get lost.
Here is the reply email I received:
Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for supporting and using ASUS products!
Your comment has been received by us and is currently in process. We will improve and as a treatment, you can reply through the link to check the situation. Thank You! [link to open ticket]
If everyone writes in, maybe we can demonstrate a strong enough user demand to get the most essential accessories out on the market.

Just did the same. One cable with no spare is not cool...
The guy who sells the FolioGuard stuff, xjarl I think, mentioned he got his hands on the 40pin connector and asked in the general thread what he should "do" with them...but the thread got buried super quick.
I thought a million people would ask him to make power cables but...

Do you think you could find that thread again and forward the key info to DevCake (the guy here who does the DIY hardware articles):

If anyone can hack together a substitute cable it would be him. So, if there's a guy somewhere who can get the connectors and there's a guy here who can determine which pins we need to wire to a standard USB cable (or charger or whatever we need), then we should put those two together.
Thanks,

Just sent my request as well. I have the Radio Shack charger wall wart w/adapter but I'm very nervous about not having a dongle that fits the TF's port.
Guess I'm spoiled - a week after launch there were adapter galore for the Galaxy Tab on ebay.
I'm hoping the free market will save the day soon here...yikes!

I wouldn't call it spoiled, it seems like chargers and cables should be available readily for any device, what this is....is ridiculous.

I tracked down xjar and messaged him about 4 days ago but no response so far. That connector is the holy grail, find it and I'll be able to make a GRIP of cables and accessories.
I've just done so asking about availability here in the EU. They don't seem to be anywhere!
I got a response back:

This situation is really irking me. I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gotten a different tab is only to rectify the accessory situation. These adapters should only be costing like 5 cents to make. I don't understand what is going on here.

Oh I'm specifically just thinking about their charger cables. I *hate hate hate* that I only have one. As far as I can tell the only places you can buy them they are like $40. Ridiculous IMO b/c that sort of thing should be pretty cheap. That is a pure profit item, if it were even in stock in the first place.

My bad, I thought it had the wrong connector but when I zoomed in I see it is at a bad angle. $40 buck is a little expensive, especially considering it is defective.

Nice catch aasoror.... Docks are becoming more and more difficult to get lately. Even if purchasing in bulk if make sure they are physically in stock. Nothing worse than trying to order subverting only to find out your waiting even longer!

Merimobiles.com has the dock for 45 shipped. I got mine in two weeks and it works great.

i have read nothing but good about this site, fast shipping, reasonable prices. and i hear if you become a member, you receive a code in a newsletter for 10% off your purchase. the only thing i see that you havent bought for accessories is a usb portable hd. =-) i use a 1 TB WD usb HD. works flawlessly.
2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]
I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.
They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]
The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.
Regards,
Sre
Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?
For example, when you go to settings and tablet info what does it say?
If be interested to know if they've cooked their own ROM (which they shouldn't have charged you for) our of the they've sold someone elses?
I'm guessing others would like to know as well.
Thanks for letting us know about this....
Intriguing.
...sent from my 'un-stock' g2x
I don' know anything about Roms but I would like to know a little more about that jailbreak thingy too. Like where does one order that stuff from too.

Lol. You got ripped off. Idiot.
Sent from my sexy white Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile.
I was curious if anybody was interested in buying these cables. Both cables would have the corresponding female micro input and the other side would be the corresponding micro male. The reason i ask is if you have a lapdock you are future proofed because motorola likes to make specific accessories for different model phones and likes to charge an excessive premium for these accessories. With these cables you , hopefully, should be able to use lapdock and future lapdocks, if motorola is good on their word, plus you can have your atrix next to your lapdock and be able to use it still. I am thinking maybe used like this you wont need a bluetooth mouse either because you can use screen for the mouse input which is loads better than the touchpad. Micro female cables seem to be hard to come by looking online. I am awaiting an answer from my source to see if these can be had. The minimum order is 1000 of them. I would probably sell these for about $20 shipped in the US if my price is right. Both cables btw. I hope this in right section. Figured it would get the appropiate looks here because it is unique and it is a question. Please post if youre intersted or pm me. If my source comes up good, and there is enough interest i will post back. And yes there would be discount for multiple orders. Dont ask how much. I dont even know how much yet.
Btw, i am getting a lapdock tomorrow to test drive. I am going to measure approximate length needed for this to be useable on right side. I am guessing in the neighborhood of 18-24"/45-60cm. It will be longer than needed if accessorized on the left side of lapdock. I mention this because there will be no custom lengths, colors or whatever. I dont even have any.
I voided my warranty.
well, i just got my quotes. i can do these cheaper than mentioned earlier. i am hoping this might garner some interest, especially for the peeps looking for hdmi mirroring using emulators. i am hoping somebody figures that out too. it'd be nice to play some super nintendo on a lapdock full screen. please respond if interested. i have to order 25 minimum and i only need 4 of each. i can get them posted on ebay also.
PM sent....
can the Atrix be used while in the lapdock? or while connected to it, if its using these cables?
EDIT: oh, mirroring. havent messed with that, wasnt sure the lapdock did that

i don't know. i'm getting lapdock tomorrow. i'm guessing it can be used while in lapdock. i don't know yet if it can be used with cables. that too i'm guessing on. i'm hoping the touchscreen can be used as touchpad like webtop over hdmi hack. and i just found out that motorola fubar'ed photon users by flipping the connections so they can't use the lapdock.
I modded my laptop to fit the photon. I'll try it out, i didnt know there was a hack to enable use while in webtop.
EDIT: stock functions are the volume and power, no other buttons work nor does the screen work. where is the mod for the touchscreen for the atrix? i tried searching but no dice. i wonder if would even work on a photon
Did you ever order these? I am interested in using the AT&T 50.00 Atrix lapdock with a Droid razr and I am guessing that this will be neccesary.
---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------
Wondering if you ever ordered them.
I am interested in using the Atrix lapdock available for 50.00 right now with a droid razr, and it I think this might be necessary.
hi,do you still have any left and how does it work?
I'd also be interested in these cables.
Thanks
I'd be interested too....
Very interested. I would like to use phone as webcam since cover blocks front screen.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Any more?
Do you have any more of the cables? I'd like to buy one.
Interesting, I also would be rather interested in purchasing one or two sets of these cables. Would be nice to semi future-proof my lapdock that I purchased for $50.
still selling these cables? I'm interested...I'll send you a PM..
Simple one guys, I know the Razr and the bionic are similar but will this laptop dock work?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300809366729?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Thanks for any info guys
65 views and no replies.......you buggers better not be buying them all up off ebay on me
I can't really find anything on that model. I looked earlier. They can be found for $49.99 though if you search by the UPC. LOL
When I checked motorola's site to see which dock was used by which phone, the Bionic used a Laptop 100 and the RAZR used a Laptop 500 Pro. So if that tells you anything. There is nothing there about the EW-3005
There isn't a whole bunch out there on it when you google the model number ew-3005 either.
this look like an atrix lapdock i have one these and turned the connectors so they could match the razr (there's a topic about it in this section).So basically it works well with a little mod.
Razr XT910 stock 2.3.4 rom eur
yes, you'll either need to disassemble and flip the connectors or find the little extension cables and then it will work. the cables are really hard to find online though.
Lol. Thanks to googling that keyboard (model ew3005) i now have a card in Google now and keeps showing up in my status bar letting me know that Euro wings flight 3005(EW 3005) from Kiev to Dusseldorf is expected to leave on time today.

btw, i have two Atrix lapdocks, and while the idea is great in theory, and while it is the way of the future, the future isn't here yet, so they sit in a drawer unused. an old NetBook i still have running Linux is far more practical. I expect that apple has this in the works and will show everyone how to do it right, in a year or so, and then everyone will copy them (the next "revolution" in mobile computing ad nauseum). essentially the next MacBook air will have a slot for the iPhone to just slip into and it will "just work" making the lapdock look like the kluge that it is. i recommend you save your money for that, or buy a cheap NetBook.

That is one thing I saw about that dock. It is merely a mirror of the phone. It doesn't run the extended web browser like some other docks.

Thanks for the replay. I was only interested because the cost, but Hearing someone say what I was thinking in the back of my head kind of makes me realize how useless this might be. Play with it for a few days, then it would collect dust.

Well... It depends on how you use the LapDock. For me, it has been amazing since the ICS update bringing along webtop 2.0 which is basically a tablet experience when plugged into the dock. For tasks like browsing on Chrome, chatting, watching YouTube videos, composing a few mails, it really comes in handy. The big screen, the keyboard and the additional battery backup which also charges your phone... what else could you ask for?
Hello!
My phone has a damaged port and I would like to replace it. I saw some videos and it looks very easy to replace so I might try it myself. The only problem I have is that I don't know what to buy!
eBay sells the replacement module cheap but it comes from China and almost everything I bought from there (eBay) doesn't work 100% and I've asked refunds.
I know there are a lot of people who already had to replace their phone's port so I ask them to come to this thread and tell me where did they bought the port from (which exact seller, not site please) and their experience with it.
Many thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Hi, I ordered my usb port from Ali.. I think if you read the feedback of the item you can't buy any defective usb port.
I don't remember the seller's name but it costs 5€ and working the charging, Otg and audio out. Mhl I didn't tried yet.
Changing the port was easy for me, but I think it can be difficult for others. You must be careful.

I just did mine. Make sure you have the proper tool set and a grounding pad. I harvested my port from a broken one on Craigslist. Check your local area and see if you can find a smashed screen. I don't know how to add pictures to my posts yet but feel free to hit me up on Facebook messenger if you need to: Stephanie Supergirl Tweedy. Where are you located? I can just do it too. I was a certified repair technician (ha!) with Sprint. I use Tmo as my provider tho. =) Good luck!! :highfive:
I think it looks good.
