I cannot buy RAZR dock, so I just build one. - Motorola Droid RAZR

My country lies to the east of Europe, we have access to a cool phones, but the additional components like HD dock with three USB ports, are not for us.
Thx to XDA and info found here I managed to build a working dock for motorola razr. I used pass-through micro HDMI - HDMI, cheapest USB Hub and micro USB cable with thin wire connecting 4 and 5 pin.
Motorola really should change the sales system.

Big respect for this. I just thrown all cables behind tv and left connection cables outside. I will try to do something similar.pozdro

You should, its fun and dock can have any shape.
Did anyone successfully connect USB gamepad to RAZR? I have a problem with the connection through a usb hub
How many games use gamepads? Is it worth to build portable gamestation for RAZR?

Looks good I use have ATRIX and love the hd dock and that had USB ports in dock to use it computer on my TV. I looked at buying a dock but ones OEM I found for RAZR are just docks that connect to TV but no USB ports in the dock to use a keyboard n mouse so like know how to make or get a dock i can plug mouse and keyboard in

So you have easy way to fix that. Buy cheap USB hub, dismantle dock, cut holes for additional ports and solder few cables. Do nothing with HDMI.
And download NEBTOP app.

Same thing here, i cant buy dock but now how i saw this i want to build my own dock station ^^ i have only a hdmi cable by the motorola yet because i dont know how can i enable the webtop, so my question : if i buy an otg, hub and the y cable
and try to make something like this it'll enable the webtop or i need the nebtop?
and if i need nebtop it will work with the ICS's kernel?
Thank you, and sorry for my poor english

you need nebtop

I've got all the stuffs (HDMI cable, otg cable, power supplied USB hub, mouse & keyboard), the mouse and keyboard functioned properly, the monitor could show the screen, but I only got options for gallery, music player and mirror. There's no Webtop option. What's wrong? Please help

But the phone got webtop installed already, and the nebtop required a root of the phone?

is it the magnet and/or the connected 4 and 5 pins that make the webtop app recognize the dock?

Neptop simulates being connected to the dock, it isn't the webtop If im not wrong, it needs root.

Eee Pad USB Cable

I tried to find a spare USB cable for the Eee Pad and no luck. It makes me nervous to have a proprietary format cable without a spare.
Considering how difficult is to the get an Eee Pad, I wonder how to get the cable...

Just wait a little bit, the galaxy tab also had a proprietary plug and now ebay is flooded with adapter/plug/charger, i guess we will see more accessories when stock will be easily available...
You are right. Things always how up once the supply gets going... I wish they did not have a proprietary cable. I understand why they did it but...
I'm a little disappointed they didn't just use MicroUSB.... then and again, I don't think any of the tablets on the market currently do?

An OEM that releases a device that uses a proprietary cable to supply the device with power IMHO has a responsibility to see to it that customers can readily purchase replacement cables. People do lose/break things and without a way to charge the TF it's an expensive paper weight. I hope Asus is listening & will rectify this situation quickly, I'd love to purchase a backup cable.
I would like to have another one so I can have one at home and one at work. I forgot the cable at home today and now can't connect it to my computer here at work.

Problem with the galaxy tab is it uses a connector that is very similar to Apples connector except that the pin backplane is reversed, which wouldn't be hard to change for manufacturers of non-licensed Apple connectors
http://fatmixx.com/tag/pdmi/
While Asus's cable connector is probably made in house and proprietary
so who knows how long it will take for others to make knockoffs of the connectors
It would have been nice if Asus included a micousb connector on the transformer at least for charging and data sync
I created a folder on my Windows PC desktop and 'shared' it, then in ES Lan added a new server using the IP address of my PC.

Definitely hoping they'll release the official cables soon or allow 3rd party to make them. Kinda sucks when my cable broke and no other ways to charge the darn thing.

Thats what i thought too, but i need to charge it in my car, and it wont charge with any of my cigarette lighter USB chargers because it uses the damn special charger from Asus
Either i wait for a car charger or just buy another charging pack and hook it up to a power inverter in my car
I really wish they would have just used a standard USB connector instead of a USB 3.0 one

Yeah, I've got one. It does what it says but a word of warning, it sits loosely when connected to the transformer. It's very handy though as I don't have a dock and so far everything I've plugged into it works well.
I just got mine today (actually 30mins ago).
Already taken it apart and are going to modify it. I dont fancy having 1dm extra height on my tablet, especially not on the underside. (edit: ok I lied, its actually only 8.3cm..... only...)
And yes, it sits quite loosely.
Im going to post a guide if my mod is successful. I am also going to try and add a charger port on it.

I don't know if it would be possible but how about adding another usb port. This would save using a USB hub to connect more than one peripheral to the transformer.

Simply adding another usb port isnt possible, you still need the hub control chip.
That would be possible to do but would require you to make a new 'case' for the adapter, and it would get quite big (relatively).

I really miss a right-click feature when using a mouse while remote controlling a PC :/... not that that has anything to do with the adapter though.
Im not sure I should post my guide on how to add a cable to the adapter... It wasnt my best day and it turned out quite disasterous I somehow managed to kill 2 solder points so had to find alternative source lol
And I gave up on the charging port... I couldnt for the life of me figure out which pins is for charging. The ones I thought (by comparing to the original charger cable) turned out to just short-circut the TF

USB adapter for GT-P3113 tab 2 7.0?

Anybody have one that works well? I have been looking for one online that i can hook a usb thumb drive to for file transfer, and hooking a usb hub for a mouse and keyboard. Does this tab even have usb host capabilities? Which ones are compatible with our device?

I am using the Samsung USB adapter with a belkin 4 port mini hub. I have connected a keyboard, mouse and 16GB flash drive simutaneously, it all works great.
Seen them for sale at Best Buy the other day. Need to pick me one up.
Are they self powered or what? If I hook my 1TB hd to it, will it work? (that's not powered off an ac adapter)

I have the USB one in your Amazon link. I can play a movie, and open files from a thumb drive. Once plugged in, it opens like it's a folder on the drive.
I also bought another one from Amazon that has a short piece of flexible cable, so that I don't have the huge hemorage hanging from the side. It works too, but the connector cover came off the connector, so I glued it. It was less than $10, but I don't have a link right now for it.
I can also confirm (though probably not a surprise) that a USB HD does not work. The message says "High powered USB device" and won't connect. So you'd need a powered hub for that.
I bought such a cable off ebay for 7 dollars shipped
Works exactly as expected.

Just bought a galaxy tab 2.
I am very new to this tablet, its my first android tab.
Well i want to use it as usb host primary for usb 3g stick for gprs/ 3g, will this accesory work or what else more i need for this stick to work. ?
Looking at getting a GT-P3113 this weekend and need to have the USB connection to external HD as well but do not see the needed 30 pin connector in photos of the tab online to make the Samsung USB connection kit to work.
Does the GT-P3113 at Best Buy/Staples have this connection setting.
Thanks!
Just got mine today. USB thumb drive works, and files are readable. My iMac mouse and keyboard don't work. I believe I need to get a AC adapter for my USB hub and then route them through that. As stated earlier in the thread I believe high powered devices need to be plugged into a usb hub that is connected to a power source, before plugging it into the adapter. This is an Android OS issue I believe.

As others have said, what is a 3G dongle?
As far as OTG cables, I got this combo (along with a few other cables from that seller). The OTG cable works fine, as do the rest of the cables I got. The fit is a little bit more snug then the cable that came with my tablet, but everything works great and the quality is very good as well for eBay cables from China.

Xperia P TV Dock

Hi Guys,
Sony Mobile this morning has announced that a dedicated docking station for the Sony Xperia P is still alive. However, it won’t be called the SmartDock anymore, Sony is calling it the Xperia P TV Dock. So how does it differ from the SmartDock? Well it still has the HDMI output to connect to your TV, but it gets rid of the two USB 2.0 ports.
Do You Like It ?

Why would they take something amazing and kill it. Without being able to plug in a wireless keyboard or mouse, whats the point? Anyone want to bet that they will release a BlueTooth controller to go with this? Its the only way I can see it working now.
I wonder if they did it deliberately to stop people plugging in an external drive full of movies, pushing streaming services instead? It can't be a costs thing surely? A USB hub retails for £1.
And why is it a micro HDMI on the back? If it is to be the core of a home entertainment suite I would want full sized HDMI, for consistency if nothing else (and the fact the cables are 5x cheaper).
What does this possibly give you over a normal phone stand? Where is the USP?
Baffling.
Edit: should have read the post first. The dock itself has BT? WTF? Its like the team that designed it have never used a smartphone before, or are even aware of what device is actually going to be plugged into it.
Opinion revised from Baffling to Bewildered.

I am gonna buy the dock purely to use as a charging cradle for my P so I am HAPPY with the change as it means it will cost less
I'm gonna buy this with the Sony EP851 (since I don't believe it will come with an AC adaptor) which should be out by then and am gonna use this dock to enable the simplest (and prettiest) drop and charge solution I can think of. They could axe the HDMI output too for all I care

Hi Viiv, I think you may want to look at what else is available first. For one, the swap out from a USB hub to a bluetooth solution will add loads to the cost, I would guess this will be around £35. Second, the EP851 is not that special. Oh, and third, because of the BT, it will probably drain power (costing you money) when the phone is not docked.
If you dont care about the BT or the TV out, can I suggest something like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150799144967
I have two of these. Each came with a really nice dock and a 1500 ma charger (performs exactly the same as the EP851) a data cable and a charge cable. I estimate the Sony equivalent would be around 6x more expensive (£10 against 35 + 25). As a bonus, the stand I use has a removable spacer, allowing you to dock your phone when it is in a case. I cant see the equivalent on the SXP TV Dock.
True, this is for the SXS, but an SXP version must be on the way.
Oh, and one last thing, the "Sugar Cube" trick worked a treat at removing that nasty logo. Take a white sugar cube, dampen it and rub it over the logo. It is abrasive enough to take the lettering off but not abrasive enough to damage the plastic.
-- Phil
What Bluetooth. There is no Bluetooth in the dock lol. When they say Bluetooth they are referring to the built in Bluetooth of the phone lol.
Instead, the Xperia P TV Dock has Bluetooth which can be used to connect a keyboard and mouse (as long as they support it). The addition of Bluetooth is a sensible move given the plethora of accessories out there

Thanks so much for that, I've asked in a few places and this is the first answer I've had. I guessed a desktop mode would have there but you never know.
The V60 looks like a good replacement for my Note9 later in the year. I just need to be able to buy one in the UK.

Is this simple screen sharing or a different interface like Samsung dex? Thanks

It's the same as the V50 & G8X, so a proper desktop mode but not as advanced as DeX. I have a NexDock 2 and use it with Samsung DeX and Huawei Easy Projection all the time. Looking at videos of LGs desktop mode it will do a reasonable job, which is all I need. Once Linux on DeX went away and Samsung dropped the 3.5mm headphone port I realised that I needed something different for my next device.
Can someone give a short how to?
I used a USB-c hub that has HDMI. I connected the hub to the USB-c port, and the monitor the the HDMI. It does not work with the magnetic port, it seems. (Though the magnetic port does support connecting to a computer with USB). You get a desktop, and can use the phone itself as a trackpad. If the hub has power in, you can keep the phone powered.
It is really too bad about the magnetic port, since I like to keep the phone in the dual case, and am afraid that too much in and out of the case will damage the UCR port of the phone...

So I have the same concern and never take mine out of the dual screen case. Could it be the cable used doesn't have all the pins needed internally and this may work? I can't see how it would work to a computer and not a TV.

never mind. USB-C is 22 active pins. That explains why the 12 pin magnetic connector doesn't work for HDMI.
