For movies files ETC ETC.....I travel a lot and it would be really useful. I think I read it CAN be used on the asus tf300t....bc of usb

I have used a similar Toshiba unit and it is hell on the battery. I generally use this instead:

Plus with the above unit, you can share it between your phone and tablet or laptop and it serves as an external battery.

Suburb bro.... Thanks so much. I was thinking about something out there like aforementioned item. I will certainly get it.
I would assume... Of anything... I would hook my external HD to it and wifi all / anything from the external to my note 2

I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

I am using both an Apple keyboard and track pad in one setup and a Motorola keyboard/track pad combination in another. They both work well.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

Note 717 as a computer
I have been using the Note 717 as my home computer. I downloaded Liquid smooth 4.1.2 and now the HDMI to Micro USB adapter doesn't recognize the monitor? Please help....I would also like other ideas for hooking the phone to a monitor. The cables constantly cause issues with connection. thanks you
So I plugged my note in to my Samsung plasma tv. I used the mhl adapter that came with my infuse which I used with my infuse and it worked all the time. But it is not working with the note. Am I missing a setting or something? I am rooted with da g OC kernel but I haven't seen anything in that thread about this. So anyone have the same issue or could help me out?
Will gladly hit the thanks button fer ya!

Did not work for me until I plugged in the power into MHL. Then everything worked but the quality on the big 42" screen was not that good.
I have not ordered one yet, but I've seen other Note users say this PNY cable works good. It's the one I intend to order soon.

Thank you for responses but I did that as well. Just forgot to mention it. As far as I know mhl will never work without direct power supply. As I said this worked on my infuse and I have set it up the same way but no worky. Can anyone confirm they have it working?

The screen only supports slightly above 720p so I wouldn't count on it handling 1080 externally.

I think it will output 1080p video files just like Samsung's larger tablets and play them in true HD on a capable TV.
From what I've seen, MHL adapters are a bit of a crapshoot for the Note. I have one made by CableMatters that seems to work well, but sometimes it inexplicably doesn't.
I don't need it for YouTube or anything but I use my phone to dl californication from demonoid. Be nice and easy to just plug the note in and fly but what I've been doing is using es file exp to drop the video file on my network HDD and then stream from there to my ps3. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? (Besides paying for showtime of course...LOL)

I saw somewhere there was a process. I think it was to plug in the hdmi, plug in the power, then plug into device. I saw it worked for the poster but i may have the order off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I agree, try it using the following steps.. HDMI from TV into MHL Adapter / Power from Wall into MHL / MHL Adapter into phone. if you hear the beep that the phone is charging, does not mean it made a connection with the HDMI side. if you get it connected there will be a 2 / 3 second delay between the beep and you will see something on your TV, also I have USB debugging OFF, seems to work better with MHL.
Edit: With my Adapter, I do not have to reboot the phone with the adapter in for it to work, it will auto detect whenever I hotplug it. I do have to mess with the connector plugging into the phone, seems it can be plugged in / detect power, but not HDMI, (Wiggle it

On ethernet the stock browser has no lags...... I connected a Linksys USB200M v2 adapter....I am gettting full bars on WiFi from my NetGear WNDR4500 router and lags persist.....Hope this helps ASUS with this problem.
How does it compare to desktop browsing loading times
So far so good on the ethernet here.
Most people who have the problem probably wouldn't if they would just go into Settings>Advanced in the browser and change "Enable plug-ins" to On Demand .. this stops the flash windows from auto loading and lagging it out
Nicely implemented by Asus, using the USB Ethernet Adaptor that came with Asus Zenbook.

I am using that setting ever since I purchased device... still ethernet loads faster with no lags.... Have you tried on USB ethernet?
It hasn't lagged for me or given the wait window since someone recommended I do that on here so no actually don't need to.

It should work, but I would advice against using it because the network adaptor will increase the power drain quite a bit. Further more, the way it is connected to the prime makes it hard for the user to use the tablet properly without stressing the physical connection of the USB kit to the prime.

It depends what the external sd is and how big it is in memory size, some work and some don't.
I have a 1 tb external and it doesn't register on my phone not even if I repartition it.

Okay what I did was have my hub connected to the mains which is also connected to my otg cable of my note 10.1
Installed the paragon app that reads ntfc data on a hard drive (some are fat32 so don't need this app)
Then connected my external 1tb hard drive which is connected to the mains to the hub and all my files showed up on my note 10.1
Hope that's easier to understand

everything is just on slow motion or something.

is normal for the device to slow down when using an external display?
I have a 46" 1080p Samsung TV that I do screen mirror with and everything from movies to games to just simply using the phone has a 2-3 second delay. Its annoying as hell when I play games like infinite flight and minecraft. Never could figure out if there was any fix for it
