I am buying a Samsung Tab S 8.4" T700. I was wondering if there were a part to replace the micro USB port with a USB C port. Poking around it looks like there are lots of T700/T705/T100 replacement micro USB ports, but it could just may to be too have gotten a C option.
Thanks for your help, have a nice weekend, and stay safe!
As per description this tablet supports USB OTG ( USB-C ).
Anyway it exist USB-C to USB adapters
Sorry, I meant the modern ovular one. I don't like carrying around things I lose easily.

Hello I got a USB gender change: A-Female to A-Female so that i could connect a self powered USB Hub to my Archos.
So far i have connected a self power Hard Disk directly into my Archos 70.
Didn't pick it up.
A mouse in the USB Hub.
Didn't pick it up.
A pen drive directly.
Didn't pick it up.
Is the Archos 70 locked down or does the USB Micro B connector they have on the Archos 70 work different?
I thought USB was a universal connector!
... one thing you have to realize is the device needs drivers to work those devices. you just cannot flip flop the connector and expect everything to work. tipically unless the device has a INPUT port which is a standard usb port not a micro or mini 5 or an old 1.1 usb connector it wont work.
Alot of those hongkong micro a to b converters are rubbish.
The nokia has been reported to work.
You need a USB "HOST" Cable, it contains a chip that puts your devices on "master" mode.
The Nokia and Archos one work, for the others don't expect them to work at all if they do not mention to be USB "HOST" cables !
BTW, the feedback is not very good, seems that it can deliver only 200mA, so if you want to plug an external disk drive, make sure you have a power supply on it before
Also some USB keys need more than 200mA so they won't mount at all :/
I found this: http://www.kjell.com/content/templa...9&path=97000000,119000000,149500000,151500000
Translation: Used by for example mobile phones with USB host (it's own built in USB controller).
Is the USB "HOST" Cable the same as this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go

That cable doesn't look correct.
[correction - that cable at kjell looks correct for hooking two USB On-The-Go devices together. So if you wanted to hook your Archos to another Archos or to a blackberry.]
Look for a micro usb Nokia n810 host cable. Or "Micro USB Host OTG". They seem widely available in the us on eBay
Usually they have the micro USB male connector and a full size female connector on the other. Be careful because some are mini USB, you want micro USB
Look on the us eBay for a picture.
Here is a pretty good picture also - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51045 several people have confirmed this one works.
Yeah, the connector is obviously wrong on that one. I was mostly curios about whether this USB HOST cable was the same as an OTG.
That's the only cable of OTG type that I've seen in any retail store in Sweden (although I haven't been looking for it until now), so I was thinking of maybe getting it in the store and then get an adapter for the connector. But since there's a special pinning on these cables (as I understand from the Wikipedia article) maybe that doesn't work?
I'll probably go for the Nokia cable anyway, just to be sure, should be able to find it in a retail store somewhere...

$5 now, I paid $8 (figures)
this works fine on my 32IT. I can use my microSD adapter, camera, powered hard drive, multi-card reader with SD cards and USB mouse. Other people have said they can't get USB host to work at all, even with this cable, but it works for me.
USB mouse works ok.
But it`s not enought power for 3G USB dongles.... Печалька.
Nokia ones works ok

Has anyone made an OTG cable for the TFP? I don't like the chunky USB OTG connector and thought an OTG cable would be much better.
Not quite sure what you mean.
The only proper usb connector is a standard type A connector located on the keyboard, it has insufficient pins to implement OTG. The only other usb connectors are the propriety asus ones, one on the tablet and one on the keyboard, the other small connector on the tablet is HDMI output
I have the "chunky" USB OTG connector as well.. I don't think there's a cable though... I looked everywhere on the net
I don't have a dock therefore the only way I can plug a USB flash drive, Keyboard/mouse into the TFT is via the ASUS USB OTG Host adapter View attachment 1384503
I was after something a little slimmer and believe a OTG cable would be ideal - Refer to picture for an example of what I'm referring to View attachment 1384504
Micro USB OTG cables can be used with many phones and tablets sporting a micro USB connector. The TFP obviously doesn't have a micro USB connector therefore I was hoping someone knew how to make an ASUS 40 pin to female Type-A plug which replicates the ASUS USB OTG Host adapter.
Has anyone pulled apart the ASUS USB OTG host apapter? What's inside it?
Hey guys. There are several articles and videos around on how to make your own OTG cable. It essentially involves shorting a single pin. I have no idea if it'll work with a TFP, but I'm going to give it a shot today or tomorrow if I get some time. My plan is to use the normal TFP USB cable, but plug it into a female/female USB gender changer that has been modified to short the pin. I'm almost positive that it'll work on my SGS3, and I don't see why it wouldn't also work for my TFP. I'll report back.
Nevermind. I now see that the TFP USB end has five pins, so they won't match up with the 4-pin female USB port. Oh well...
TFP and OTG
Does anyone know if the OTG will support a USB hub?

The TFP doesn't have OTG, it's a regular USB host.
So yea, it will support a hub because it's a standard USB device class, with its driver already part of the kernel.
I was wondering if experts on this forum can help clarify these questions.
The tablet Z has a rectangular shaped micro usb receptacle which is the microusb A/B type as I understand it. Although the normal popular micro usb B type connector which is supplied with the tablet Will fit in there, it is kind of loose, being able to move a little bit. Whereas the A type connector which is usually found on the OTG cables is a perfect fit and does not move around..
So, why is it that even Sony does not supply a cable which perfectly fit the receptacle?
If I use an otg cable to charge somehow (by making another cable from otg cable for eg or using otg with a normal usb male to male cable), since 5 pins are used in the otg connector will it in any way damage the tablet? (physically or otherwise..)
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:

(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
Hello
Can someone tell me the exact type of USB connector is on the Samsung Galaxy View. Then manual only says
it's a USB connector V2.
I've ordered the device but have not received it yet. But trying to determine if the connector is USB v2 or micro USB connector?
Want to plug in an ethernet adapter.
Thanks in advance
JRS
The port is micro-USB (not to be confused with mini-USB). Although most stores don't mention it, most reviews do. The Gizmodo review even has a close-up picture: https://gizmodo.com/samsung-galaxy-view-review-i-love-this-magical-slab-of-1740835366
i would recommend grabbing a micro usb "cable" OTA adapter - you can utilize it for all usb storage, upgrades, etc, etc.... they make a hard snap in adapter but use caution on them as for as easy as they snap in , they also snap out breaking your port with it. The cable adapters are way more flexible and with the tablet being so large in the first place it really doesn't make a difference if it's dangling on the side.
