I bought the HDMI MHL Adapter from Monoprice, great price and stuff, but it doesn't seem to work right. For one the power cord doesn't fit good in the HDMI MHL Adapter, it seems like it can't go in far enough to snap and hold so it falls out a lot. Also it took many tries of unplugging and plugging in the phone to get it to work with it. It also has frozen my phone quite a few times, especially if I have the HDMI MHL Adapter hooked up and someone tries to call me. I bought this phone because I wanted to be able to play my movies on friends TVs when I go over their house, but this just doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone else have experience with the Monoprice HDMI MHL Adapter?
I think I'm just gonna buy the one from Samsung.
Thanks for the heads up. Just started shopping around for one.
Mine is on the way, I will let you know if I can make it work

I got mine to work after a long time of playing with it, also you can't move the phone at all because the power cord will keep falling out of the MHL adapter
Make sure you report it to monoprice. They listen. It may take awhile though.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I can confirm this works 100%:

Silly question: I bought a similar one from newegg, but I don't know how to get it to work. For example I'm watching a youtube video on the phone, how do I make it output to the TV? (Of course I had it connected to it through an HDMI cable).
I got mine in the mail last night and it works just fine.
The regular samsung usb cable connected without problems.
Make sure to connect the power on the adaptor before connecting it to the phone.

As in yours, you mean the Monoprice one? It does work? mine has all sorts of problems. Your power cord fits in without it easily just falling out?

Yes, the Monoprice one. The power cord fits easily and stays there. No problems at all.
Just contact Monoprice, maybe you got a bad one.

Can anyone recommend a replacement charging port. I hate the Asus design with the removable part. My cable is fine but charger is broken. Would like to replace with one that isn't prone to being useless.

Good luck finding one brotha...mine broke with the pins all bent. I ended up just selling my prime as is and picked up a TF300t. Charging port design is much durable and sturdier.
I think you mean the AC adapter. Will be hard as it is 15 volts or so on the "USB"
This is a bad design in my eyes as you can break other devices by plugging into the "port".
As fitsbain said, good luck, it's 15v output through the USB port.
Just FYI, the charger is the same as the TF101, so they're not going to change it.
Just FYI...
I had thought my charger was broken, but my son figured out that the adaptor had just come loose.
However, while thinking it was broken, I did search, and found that Office Depot (Los Angeles) had them in stock. I was able to order it online for in-store pickup.
Fortunately, I figured out it wasn't actually broken, so I didn't need to buy the replacement, but if anyone is desperate for a replacement charger, you can check Office Depot.
I just bought an ac to dc converter 12v x 1.5a with the usb adapter from Radioshack. Working great. Ordered a power only plug from Amazon that said it's compatible with TF201 for 8 dollars. Will let you know when it comes in. The Radioshack setup is around 32 dollars.

From what I have read, this is not necessarily true. Apparently one of the pins recognises USB 3 connection and only then outputs the higher voltage. I have not tested this though, and if I am wrong then please correct me.

The charger itself is supposed to recognize whether or not the device can handle a certain voltage range. There's a few threads on the 101 forum regarding McGuyver power units and they found that the charging plug only works on Neg and Positive. The charger is supposed to read resistance and charge accordingly. AFAIK, the range set of the charger is 5v x 2a - 15v x 1.2a. I hooked my Rezound to it to charge once when I first had the 101, and nothing burned up. The adapter was junk though and died after 3 months, then the tab followed a week later. Charger was stuck in 5v mode, which will not charge the tab or the dock. Will drip charge with tab only, but takes forever.

There are chances your USB female connector is the problem.
Just check out this link it might help : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlkLwgT5xUk
Thx I'll check this when I get home. I know the cable is still good since the computer can recognize my prime.

I would like to purchase an HDMI cable that came with the Nexus Q mine didn't include one.
Thanks.
Good luck. The device wasn't really ever released. I bought 2 and one came with the real HDMI cable
Its got a block at the q end so it fits in snugly. The other end has nexus printed on it. If you have any luck let us know yeah?
I assume you already know that any micro HDMI will work, right?

Yeah I know any will work but I want the one that came with the Q. I'm sure someone doesn't value it as much as I do and would be willing to part with it for much more than a micro HDMI cable is worth
Cable can be found
all over the place, it is a standard micro-hdmi cable. I picked one up at Microcenter.

so i never worried about getting liquids or excessive amounts of dust clogged in my microusb ports before but now with the note 3 and the 3.0, larger sized port, i am a bit more concerned that potentially stuff could get inside it...i know they make dust plugs made from silicon but from what i have gathered, i cannot seem to find one made for a micro usb 3.0 yet...has anyone seen one before?
would using a plugo still be fairly unnecessary or am i right with my mild concerns?
I would like a USB plug cause the way I hold the phone the USB port hurts my pinky... Ouch. Lol

Yea, its a bit annoying. My only complaint.
Yes it hurts my pinky too... glad I'm not the only one. My GF said I was going crazy.
I charge my phone wirelessly so I rarely ever need the USB port anyway
If the usb port was on top of the phone, I would want a usb plug cover.
Since it's on the bottom, gravity work in our favor.
As far as the port hurting your finger.. My advice.. Man up solder! j/k.
I hold my phone with my pinky under the phone too, but my pinky is just to the side of the usb port so there is no issue for me. I just checked and with the lip on my cheap Caseology case, it would be harder to put your pinky directly against the port.

I honestly never thought about the dust before. But now that I think of it, most of the cases I used like the Otterbox...covered the ports on older phones.

There are only 3.5mm port and USB port. You only need to cover those 2. I don't know that's what you asking.

Oh well, i guess i am going too much into details these days. Cant help it.. the Note 3 is such a perfect phone, you cannot resist looking into the finer side.
By the way, 7 dollars which includes shipping for these are kind of expensive.. similar plugs for Note 2 are hardly going for 2 bucks inclusive of shipping. Will they fit?
3.5 mm will fit but not USB since note 3 has bigger USB port. Just wait for the price to come down. What they are charging is just steep. I don't need to use them myself since I really don't care about dust or have any problems with all of my phones but good to protect I guess. Usually I just use compressed air can to blow out the dust.

these usb covers does not fit microusb3 of the note 3
I am having a nightmare trying to find any USB 3.0/ 3.1 type c to type c (at least 5gbps) cables in the UK longer than 3ft!! I have found a couple of 3 ft ones but I will be using it to charge my S8, there is no way a 3ft cable is going to reach behind my desk and down to the socket. I would also like to be able to use it as more than purely a charging cable, hence wanting 5gbps or the newer 10gbps speeds. I am amazed there isn't a single cable longer than 3ft for it other than a few old usb 2.0 ones which are useless these days (and I suspect won't even charge it at full speed).
Couple of 3ft ones, one by Belkin and one by Anker, but nothing longer (in the UK anyway). There must be a demand for them, connecting a charger will need longer than 3ft for anyone that has it on a desk, and connecting it to the back of a pc of docking station will as well!

They have a few others on there as well that are 6 ft.

I don't see why not use 2 cables. Personally I use 2 cables simply because always having to pull the cable and do what I got to do then put it back from my desk is real bothersome. I don't know how your setup is however.
If you're looking for a cable to use with the OEM charger, the unboxing videos I've seen show the included charger with a USB A connection, so you would need a C-to-A cable. (You might already be aware, just making sure.)

Yeah I am using 2 cables, this is the second one. I already have a 6ft USB C to A cable so that's covered, I just want a c to c cable 6ft and at least 5gbps usb 3.0 so it is somewhat future proof (vs all the usb 2.0 versions I keep finding that are too old and slow for my needs).

Yep I have C to A already. No Idea why C to C at longer than 3ft is so hard to find, I'll just have to wait I guess.
C to C isn't all that popular currently. There are very few things out right now that require C to C.

Both of you are acting like children. The likely reason why its so hard to find is because the manufacturers likely consider the main use-case to be phone to phone data transfer or Phone to PC charge and data. In this scenario most people would want the devices relatively close together. It just might be too early for a cable like it to be widely available. I managed to find 1 (I think) on the amazon UK site. It comes in a pack of 5 cables with varied lengths. It appears they have the cable but I don't see it in a stand-alone pack just yet.
