Hello everyone,
I am new to the Nexus Player realm and I just want to add a little info for the other owners :good: in order to contribute something that I hope will be of value to someone.
Scooped up some inexpensive add-on's for my Asus Nexus Player:
Microcenter
902080 Inland 4 port mini usb 2.0 hub $4.99
900365 Inland Microusb to usb cable $2.49
445759 IPSG Hiro Usb to LAN adapter $16.99
LAN connection working great. Believe I was having a intermittent wireless issue due to the close proximity of the Nexus Player to my Wireless Modem all directly in back of an LCD TV, must be an EMF nightmare for signals when they are point-blank.
I even plugged in my ancient el' cheapo mini BT keyboard RT-MWK+ and the keyboard and mini touchpad work fantastic, I believe the box stated it was a Rii product and I paid less than $20 shipped, however that was a few years back

Does anyone know if the Transformer will come with a mini HDMI cable packed in?
I was checking over at Amazon and found an Amazon branded 6' high-speed cable for $7 and a 9' cable for $10. It had 4.5 stars so it seems solid.
Has anyone ever used any of the Amazon branded cables? http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Is $7 a decent price for a 6' mini HDMI these days?
I use monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=2
Works from my video card to HDTV.
Check this out: 15' micro USB to normal USB for $1.12...

So how do you connect HDMIs with a USB cable?
thanks, ordered the 15ft one from monoprice for $8 to go to the back of tv
Thats all i use is Amazon Basics 1.4 cable. I got 6 (Google TV, PS3, Xbox 360 HD DVD , Cable Box, 3D PC) going to my receiver and one going to my 3D LCD. Everything works well from the 3D blurays to the ARC to the Ethernet. I also have an Amazon Basics mico HDMI to HDMI for my Evo 4G and i bought 2 (one to travel with)mini HDMI to HDMI for my Transformer when i get it Tuesday So like i said its all i buy.

Thanks for the feedback!
I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon: http://amzn.to/hlQSOp
Being a Prime member it came in a couple of bucks cheaper than Monoprice.
NOW if i can just get Amazon to ship me a tablet, I'll be in business!
For every accessories/cables on my part i always use ebay, for this price you could get 2 6' mini hdmi to hdmi and they are also covered with nylon...
just my .02 cents
Edit: of course it is cheap (for the price, been using those cables a while and it is A1) only thing is shipping time, you definately have to be patient.... But i find the nylon mesh design definately great!
Does anyone know if it's the same cable as the Atrix?
There's also these
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-female-to-mini-hdmi-male-adapter-converter-58158
cheap and then you can just use any old hdmi cable you have lying around, rather than a special cable just for this device.
What do you guys think of this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Qualit...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2c5fa2c9da
i got one for 3 bucks on amazon, free 2 day shipping....
Ya they all work the same got one for 2$ at dealsEXtreme free shipping
Thanks i will just check dealextreme then

I got this and paired it with another normal HDMI cable from DX and they work great.
Just bought a HDMI to mini HDMI cable works great on my large screen tv, means I can now use the Asus pad as a media streamer..it works really well with Plex. if your in the UK and want one I got it from www.iCompinkCartridges.co.uk and was a 2mtr cable for £2.32 with free postage. Also have a case on order hoping it will fit the Transformer it bends open and becomes a support for the pad, update if its any good when it comes (it was only £4.99)
Link doesn't seem to work? Quite a bargain you got there.
Anyway I got my one from Amazon.co.uk for about £7.00:
Neet® FLX - Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable - (1.5m) - 1080p Full HD - v1.3b - Type C (mini 19 pin) to Type A (std 19 pin) - Professional HDMI Lead
(Can't post outside links yet)
Interested with the case though, got link for that? =D
Only £1.96 with free delivery http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wired--up-H...UO88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306514460&sr=8-1
How about using a mini HDMI adapter with the HDMI cable of your choice?

(EDIT: haven't ordered it yet, but for $2, I might try it.)

Hi
I lied about the case price (well my memory did) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250818946312&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still a good price though.
The link for the HDMI cable I took from the reciept, it seems to be an Ebay (sorry) shop thingy ..do a search on Ebay with the name and it should turn up.
If you're in the U.S., Amazon has a great cable, cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES5ZR8.
On the t-moibile site, under features for the phone, it lists:
MHL adaptor for HDMI capability
Does it come with such an adapter out of the box? I'm interested in using it to connect a usb card-reader to it so I can easily copy photos from my camera.

No, I it doesn't come with one in the box. In fact, I it was publicized that no other adapters aside from the official Samsung one would be compatible with the phone because Samsung changed the pin layout for the GSiii.
No, but I found one on Ebay that works great and a lot cheaper to boot!
Edit : Wait...I bought one for my SGSII...I assumed it would work with the SGSIII, but perhaps I'm wrong! I'll have to test it and report back!
I wish. I checked then out online and they are like $40. It seems like way to much to just hook it up to my tv, and then the samsung car mount/charger is another $50. it seems like samsung is going the way of apple. at least apple gives you a dock when you buy a phone.
Don't worry. Third party accessories will catch up soon enough. That is lousy of them to charge so much for such a piddly little adapter.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
just buy a USB OTG (on the go, or host usb) adapter if your just looking to transfer files from a card reader, the MHL adapter is primarily for video output, not input
I just got 2 USB host adapters from the link below for less than $3 shipped....also below is a video from android.NZ that shows all the crap we can plug into this beast of a phone
As for MHL Adapter compatibility, it will ONLY work with 11-pin MHL adapters, Most are 5-pin
USB OTG adapter
Can the USB otg and HDMI be used at the same time?
My situation now is that I have the Moga Pro Power that I picked up at the pawn shop for $40
Noticed that it has quite a bit of lag using the A-mode, and still a noticeable amount of lag in B-mode, approximately 100ms.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to connect a wired controller via USB otg, and if that might have less input lag.
I'm also curious if I can output to HDMI while connected to a wired USB controller.
If I could create like a docking station on my TV that turns my phone into a mean little media station/console, that would be completely badass.
I saw this adapter on Amazon and eBay, it connects to the phone's microusb on one end, and has ports for HDMI, SD, Micro-SD, USB, and a Micro-usb for powering the phone and any attached USB device at the same time. You can find it by searching "otg slimport" on Amazon or eBay.. Selling for under $13 on eBay. Unfortunately, the same product on Amazon has only a 2 star rating. Reviews saying the charging port isn't working as advertised, and HDMI connection is touchy, and certain TVs are incompatible. So it looks like a no-go. China will manufacture and sell just about any hodgepodge of wires and plastic they think consumers will buy, that doesn't mean it will work.
So now I'm wondering if this sort of function is even possible, and if so, is there a product available that can provide it, and if there is no product like that, can somebody please make it?
So I did a bit of research, and it seems there's definitely some technical limitations as far as charging the phone wile in "host" mode. This means that while connected to USB OTG, the circuitry that is normally used to charge the phone, is used to supply power to the attached USB devices. I found a site that has a modified kernel for the Nexus 7 that enables charging the phone while connected to devices via OTG. https://mehrvarz.github.io/usb-host-mode-power-management-nexus7/
Maybe this could be implemented in the V10
I have a keychain style projector and want to use it with my phone when I am traveling. Does anyone have a suggestion on cable to get?
Oh, last time I tried that eons ago with an Samsung S3 and some cheap MHL-adapter from ebay - wanted to play Mario Kart in breaks at work... alas, didn't work but looking forward to any positive answers here...
I have an Onn brand USB-C (m) - HDMI (f) and so far it hasn't worked with any phone that I have had. OnePlus Nord N10 5G, Motorola G Stylus 5G, or Motorola G Power. For a sub $15 cable I honestly wasn't expecting much, but why make and sell something that doesn't work? Or am I just not using the cable in the right type of application?
Well, later I learned that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Connectivity
Still, kept that cable for some years but didn't work on any phone I had...
Such thing could be really handy with my little beamer in the sleeping room (pretty tired of DLNA, SMB and USB-cards).
