Picked these up locally at Best Buy. Plug and Play. Finally this box is working like it should.. No more buffering and wifi cut outs.. Its almost like a brand new machine.. I highly urge anyone with buffering and wifi issues to pick one up.
Which OTG cable are you using to hook this up to your Nexus Player?

I had bought a verbatim usb stick at the local office depot that came with the OTG adapter.
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/831610/Verbatim-Store-n-Go-Nano-USB/
I had bought the OTG a while back for another project but i imagine any adapter should work.
Nice. I misread and thought this was an USB hub by Insignia. My local Best Buy carries an Belkin USB 3.0 hub with ethernet which I might get since I could use the USB ports for both a mouse (TWRP) and media storage. Thanks for the heads up.

I would except one thing... the ethernet port on it doesn't work at all with the Nexus Player. So not really worth picking up.
The item i referenced in the top post is the only item i was able to find locally at a brick and mortar type store that would work with the nexus.

The Gigabit Ethernet adapter on this three way USB3.0 hub works fine through an OTG cable, although from memory it didn't start working until after I'd performed the 5.1.1 upgrade.
Although you obviously only get USB2 (480Mbps) speeds as thats all NP USB2.0 port can handle.
This enables my combined USB Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard adaptor to work fine and and leaves free USB slots for additional USB local storage devices ie flash drives not any devices which require powering, otherwise you'll be better of buying a powered USB hub.

Does anyone know a place to buy a MicroUSB hub? I would like to connect the hub to the phone and then connect at least 3 other microUSB devices. There are plenty of these for standard USB but nothing for micro. The usage case is connecting my phone to the TV via HDMI, still being able to charge the phone and connect my Xbox adapter to use my controller. I know the HDMI adapters have one microUSB port for charging but not two. Any suggestions?
I don't think they exist and even if it did how could it possibly work?

if you buy the adapter here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322406) you can plug a normal usb hub into and use it that way.

as far as xbox controllers and hdmi adapters you got me there.. havent tried any of that
Your best bet is to grab the microusb otg cable, I beloved its linked above it was like 3.50$. From there you would want a self powered hub. I use to play around with it and hook up ex. a USB stick, keyboard, mouse. I've heard of ppl hooking up even biggger mass storage devices. But unfortunately the one thing you can't do is be able to use the hub/cable simultaneously with the MHL adapter for HDMI. I eventually gave in and just bought a ps3 controller because you can use the HDMI to TV simultaneously paired with a controller or another Bluetooth device. For what its worth I still am pretty amazed at using that hacked apk of Onlive with the sixaxis app as native gamepad all via HDMI looks great.

USB hub attaches to microusb or USB devices
This device has two short cables. One leads to a micro usb male, the other to a standard USB male.
The sockets on the hub are standard USB female.

Does this mean you can charge your phone while you are watching a movie on a usb stick with usb on the go?
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Comes with following accessories:
USB Wall Charger
Micro USB 3.0 Cable
S-Pen
The data charge port is the same as galaxy note 3 and galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition.
So how can we take full advantage of Mirco USB 3.0 Port.
The uppermost idea in my mind is your can get an USB 3.0 OTG cable for it. Then you can use a USB mouse or wireless mouse or read your u disk.
What else accessories come to your mind? Add them here and share with us.
You can use micro USB cables with the USB 3 slot on the NotePro.... cross compatible!!!

came here to say the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Pens do work with the Note Tablets, especially the eraser on the other end. I also own a micro usb 3 otg cable and can confirm it works with cameras, flash drives, hard drives, mice, keyboards, and ethernet adapters

Anyone know about the ethernet adapter? Allows for lan cables (rj45) on the note...

I have something similar to the proposed samsung port unit (not available yet)...all 3 usb3 ports work; the rj45 port does not. If I plug the lan cable into one of the 3 usb ports, it works fine.
I wonder how many levels of attachments usb3 can handle. Is it different for a tablet than a pc/mac?

It works quite well. You will get an indication that ethernet is connected. Haven't done a comparison between it and wifi, but, yes it another option

Yes
I bought micro usb3 otg cable mentioned above and usb to ethernet adapter (in my case from apple store). Works just fine. Just make sure you are not using usb3 to ethernet adapter. It probably will not be supported . ( I was trying 'J5 create' usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter - no success)

Actually, the usb3 to ethernet adapter DOES work...at least for me. It is what I'm using now. Can also be used as part of a 3 port unpowered hub

I did a speed test Wifi vs 100 Meg Ethernet.

100 Meg Ethernet:
I have yet to find a USB3->GigE that works with this tab. My latest attempt was below. It works fine as a USB 3 hub, but the Ethernet port is not supported on the P900. It does work on my Surface Pro so I may keep it.

Yeah, it's a good option. Thanks for sharing this useful information with us.
Does a 3G Dongle work with the tab
Does a micro-USB hub with ethernet that has at least 3 USB ports exist? I despise chaining a bunch of dongles, so I'd like to see if an all-in-one solution exists:
- micro-USB cable attached to the dongle so it can plug straight into the GNP
- Ethernet port (my experience is that wifi sucks on the GNP)
- 3 USB plugs for flash drive, keyboard/touchpad combo, Flirc.
The closest I found is this Samsung dongle (the price used to be $25 but it went up, can still be found around $17 on ebay shipped from China though), but it only has 2 USB ports and I'm not sure that it would actually work with the GNP:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Original-Adapter-ET-UP900-Galaxy/dp/B00J2N0GB4
(may be an excellent solution for someone looking just for 1-2 USB ports)

It would be great if it had a micro-USB connector rather than a standard one, to avoid yet another adapter cable.
I dont think that will work. My friend got one and I plugged it into my tablet that has a standard USB slot and ethernet didn't work. I bought a USB (standardsize) to ethernet adapter works fine on my tablet. Now I need a standard to micro adapter
Hi,

I've tested and confirmed it works on my H933 on the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter, and the D-Link DUB-E100 rev C1 but nearly any asix (AX88772ALF on apple and ASIX AX88772B on the E100 rev C1) based network adapter should work.
Edit: Kingston sd100 laptop dock also works (hub and audio also work)
Hi, as this was a quick delivery I ordered one of these from Amazon (actually Souq here in Dubai)
"AmazonBasics USB 3.1 Type-C to Ethernet Adapter - Black" for about $10
plug it in, it just works
I dont have data on my phone and wifi at office is secured access, but with just this and an ethernet cable I am online

Good for you. I just ordered and have a VAVA VA-UC002 delivered (can't post a link yet). Unfortunately it doesn't work with my V30+, it doesn't recognize it as an interface, so I'll have to send it back.
I just ordered the one you mentioned from amazon, hopefully it will work.
Hi guys,
so how is it? I come to some information that in order for the ethernet to work with your phone you have to have the ethernet option in your phone network settings. I don't have ethernet in options anywhere on my LG V30 yet you guys write that it works. So does it work for you even though you also don't have the ethernet option in your settings? Thanks.
@tw9: not sure what settings you are talking about
Nothing in settings on mine either.
As above, just plug it in and it will work.
There's another thing I've done that 'just works' (mostly) when connected to an OTG cable. A wireless keyboard and mouse. My Logitech adapter thing, just plug it in via otg... boom, now your logitech mouse and keyboard work on your phone.
The only 'settings' that seem to effect this are having a 'midi' connection in dev options usb type. But basically you only find out if it will work by trying it. Pretty sure I didn't have to change the setting, it just recognized it and auto switched, can't remember, been awhile.
cheers

Kingston or kensington mate? I didn't know kingston made docks.. I know of usb, sd & ssd flash devices never heard of docks yet. Having complete solution dock for the V would be even better if it did external screens..

I don't know either, I have read it in comments section of a youtube video. Apparently it's a Samsung thing.... Ok, thank you for info, I'm going to try this
I'm trying to connect my Tab S6 (SM-T867V) to my Logitech mouse, but as soon as I connect the OTG cable to the Tab, even before the mouse controller is insterted, I get a notification that says USB connector connected and then it switches to USB connector disconected and just keeps flipping between the two notifications every few seconds seemingly endlessly. I tried the otg cable with my Note 9 (SM-N960U) and it works perfectly fine with my mouse. The Tab and Note prompt me with charging/file transfer when the otg cable is hooked into the Note and connected to the Tab via a usb c cable so that seemed to work fine. The tab also works normally when charging and using a usb c to hdmi adapter, so I don't think it's a port issue. Both devices are on One UI 2.1 and both have USB 3.1 type C 1.0 reversible connectors, so I'm really confused as to why I'm getting this bug. If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it!

I didn't think about PD making a difference, but maybe you're right. My usb c to hdmi does support PD, but the power wasn't plugged in when I tried it and it still worked tho ?
But either way, I ended up purchasing a bluetooth mouse instead just because it's more useful to have one for my tablet rather than unplugging my laptop's every time I take the tab somewhere. I will keep this in mind for if I need to add more accessories later, so thanks for the info.
