Are any of these still in existence? I know it's a discontinued product, but after spending hours on the internet and a half hour with customer support, they finally found one....... for $82 :crying: I'd be willing to pay a fair amount for this, but I just don't have $82 to spend for some adapter. Is there anywhere else that sells this adapter or should I just give up?

hi. i just got word motorola fubar'ed photon users by flipping the connections so it can't be used with lapdock. well, hopefully i'm here to save the day. i'm copying and pasting my post from atrix forums.
---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 also want to add. again. i don't have these cables yet. i'm not 100% sure they'll work. they should. they're just going to have females inputs from an international standard with hdmi/usb. so i don't know what problems there might be. this is just to see if there is interest. i have quotes now btw. if i go through with the purchase, i will probably sell for $15 for one of each and $20 for 2 pair. and notice i said probably. i haven't got shipping quote yet but i don't think it will be outrageous or anything. i'd like to sell these the $20 route btw. quick and easy. if more than 2 are wanted i will have to wait till i get the shipping quote because the cable already cost more $5. if i bought 1000 of each they'd cost me about a buck each but you can thank motorola and atnt for ruining such a great idea and concept and less than 1000 lapdocks being sold to date. haha.
Count me in!
If they work count me in. Hell I'll buy two sets just to sweeten the deal.

they'd be very useful cables to have around in any case

Anybody else? Need about 6 more people.
I voided my warranty.

I haven't ordered yet. Only 6 people interested so far. C'mon people. I know you need some female cables anyways. These can be as extensions from portable batteries or that extra length you need to sit back in your lazy boy instead of the couch.
I voided my warranty.
im game for 2...so 20.00
ok. so now we're up to 7. i'll probably pm interested people tomorrow or tuesday. i thought more people would be interested right away. btw, the lapdock is really nifty. amazon sold out of the $199.99 deal real quick but if it comes back i highly recommend jumping on it. i got 7.5 hours of use on one charge yesterday brightness one notch above halfway and playing ff5 on snes emulator about 4 hours. i'm using it with brightness turned all the way down today.
Test a prototype and if it works we'll talk business. You can count me as a maybe.

take teh male end of this cable and cut it off, splice it with a regular usb micro cable and there you have it, a super long micro extenstion cable
google says price for that cable is 5 bucks. so its worth a shot. ive not tried this with any other cables so i dont know if it will work in the first place or if this cable will work, but im sure everyone here has a few microusb cables around, and for 5 bucks on this cable then it turns out to be a cheap way to use older accessories
reason why i said you have to chop it up tho is its using usb micro with the edges/corners. ive looked all over trying to find something myself and that is one of teh cheapest microusb females i could find.
Hey does anyone as of yet know if the Atrix Laptop Dock is working with the Photon, with the cable discussed here. I would be willing to help out... I make two way radio cables in my business, some out of ethernet cables... I am too looking for a laptop dock that will work with the photon
Photon works with the lapdock. The cables were for a smoother solution. I emailed monoprice about cables. They emailed me back. I suggest more people email them to show interest in the cables.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
count me in too!
I like the idea of connected in and still seeing the phone. i could always velcro it to the back of the screen.

Email monoprice. The deal I was trying to get with a chinese manufacturer fell through.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I'm in too.
me likey one too please
Is the offer still going on. If so please count me in also. Just PM with info
Thanks ahead of time
If there was a way to make this into a bar that could fit at the bottom and maybe snug up to the right side so that the photon could be placed upright in the dock and secured in the laptop dock?
For those who use their phone to its fullest potential, or those who think they just got a bad battery from the start. Zagg.com (Makers of invisi-shield) is offering 2x25 dollar gift cards for the purchase of a Zaggsparq ($99.99) portable charger. Seems like a good deal to me, I ordered it today and thought I would just share the wealth. Just go to Zagg.com/Deals tab/ then click the second option. Deal ends 12/20/11.
Is it possible to purchase a spare USB Connector Cable without the wall charger?
I want to get a few spares - to keep one at work, and maybe a couple at home.
Any Ideas?
I saw some on eBay for about 10 bucks. No US sellers though.

Yeah.. A bunch of Chinese knock offs but they're just 40pin connectors. I'd rather pay 10$ for one on ebay than 30-40 for an OEM Asus cable..

10. TABLET - USB Cable
USB Cable (3 Feet) - $18
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?..._detail&p=4067
USB Cable (5 Feet) - $20
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?..._detail&p=4293
I purchased and have received two of the 5 ft USB cables.
18$ 3' cable is a ripoff lol
I've been using "Chinese" made type cables for years just because I can buy like 10 of them for the price of one OEM type. And they do actually work. I bought some Apple itouch cables from Ebay that were cheap as hell and work perfectly. Apple wanted mega bucks for the same thing.
I could only find USB cables for the TF101 at the Asus store, and I know they are the same as for the prime, but get this.... They are all out of stock on the Asus website.
How could Asus not have figured out that these cables would now be in higher demand? It's ridiculous to spend 500 bucks on a new tablet, and not be able to pick up a spare charging cable right away.... I am NO APPLE LOVER, but at least you can walk into a Best-Buy and pick up a charging cable without hunting across the entire planet to find one. If a company is going to make their cable proprietary, at least make it readily available for purchase. Real poor shoddy job by Asus on this... They really need to up their game. Their tablet can certainly stomp on the competition, but things like this keep holding them back.
Will the prime charge over this proprietary cable over usb?

That's why I ordered the charger and USB cables on Dec 8, didn't want to get caught in the Christmas PRIME rush
Hi...so I'm getting the gs3 and I will be getting rid of the vibrant... buying my gs3 from target who will give me 80 bucks for it... I know I can get twice that on eBay seeing the phone is mint...
Problem is the USB cover doesn't close and the charging Jack is weird...some cables work perfect while some, if I plug it in I have to nudge the cable and have it sit perfectly still otherwise it'll quit charging...
Should I just take the eighty bucks or try to sell on eBay and put this issue in the description?
I don't want someone buying it and then trying to get a refund because their cables do this and them using it as an excuse?
otherwise the screen and body is like new
Thanks for your input....

Give full info on eBAY and see how much you get...but you will get more than 80 bucks ie for sure.....but tell the full information about the phone like the wires and all so that they dont ask for a refund
I am new to tablets. I recently bought a Nook 7in HD tablet and took it on holiday. I have the tablet still but the cable and charger were in my suitcase which was stolen. I am having difficulty getting a replacement charger. The one I see on Amazon will take a month from Hongkong as I am in the UK. I am unclear if the mains adapter part is universal and that if I get a used data cable (which would be quicker) I could get a universal wall adapter. Surely there must be a quicker way than waiting a month!
Many thanks for your advice.

There's a forum for the Nook HD/HD+ tablets (this one is for the older Nook Tablet). You might get a better response there.
