$1 price is for the "microUSB data cable" only... read your purchase and know what you are buying !!
most MHL adapter will work... and don't forget... it need an external power source .... the device/phone alone won't have enough juice !
this was even in print of the page/link you'd given above:
* The MHL Adapter will not work without a power source.
On the first time of using, The MHL Adapter Must be connected to your device and restart, otherwise there will be no HDMI signal output.

Ended up getting this one. ~$5 and has USB charging port. Plus I just received my 5200mAh battery so if this works without power it'll be great!

Let us know if this work with the Note. I have tried many MHL adapter and it doesn't work.

I stole one from my brother that works on my Note. It came with his Samsung Infuse.
That black clipping doesn't show on my 32 inch Vizio or my 60 inch Mitsu TV
when playing back video like it does on the Notes screen.

I'll keep everyone posted when I get it...whenever that'll be............

Yes. I have the same one that came with my infuse and it works great. It does need power as stated above. (I only tested on one of the stock firmwares, ics)

Monoprice has an MHL adapter for just over $10 (item #8675). While this isn't as cheap as some of the ones on Ebay, the sense of security is worth the price. Plus, it's cheaper than buying an "official" one. I've been using this on my Note for a while now with no issues. It does not work with my wife's S3, though. It appears that they will carry an MHL adapter for the S3 soon, however.

OK...got the adapter today!
For reference I got this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180895011500?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Works but has a few flaws which I don't know are related to the adapter, phone, or my TV in my room (Sony KD-34XBR960).
Only issues is that if the phone is at max volume the audio has a lot of static and distortion. Dropping the volume to about 50-75% fixes this completely though. Also considering the phone is 16:10 and my TV is 16:9 the image is a bit cut off on the top and bottom (still fullscreen and everything works, movies look great irregardless). The adapter also doesn't seem to charge the phone either when using HDMI as my percentage was falling. I'm guessing the power plug needed is for the HDMI output.
Oh and phone calls don't work at all...thought it would be cool to do speaker calling through my TV but that was a no go.
So from my experience it only works with videos, surfing the web, etc...no phone calls.
Other than those issues, which I don't know are typical or not, the adapter works excellently! No complaints for $5 and some change shipped other than the long ass wait (22 days from China...whatever).
I'm happy and definitely recommend it! Despite the issues I have I'm still completely satisfied.

Giving away all Tilt 2 accessories

I recently sent my Tilt 2 back to AT&T for warranty and was given a different handset.
I want to give away the box and everything that came with it to anyone willing to pay the shipping cost.
It includes:
Box
Stylus
Battery
Rear Cover
Screen Protector
Wall Charger
I estimate that shipping within the continental US would be roughly $6
I'd rather help a fellow XDA member out rather than just throw it out.

Do you know if the stylus and battery cover will fit a T-Mobile TP2? I'm interested if it will.
I could use this......
Where do I sign up?
Sounds like you are moving on to another phone. I recently got my Tilt 2 and its perfect for me, if this is still open I can pay for the shipping. Im in 90748.
i could use that stylus and battery so let me know what i need to do
just curious,what phone did they give?
You wouldn't happen to have the 5-in-1 dongle - the one that lets you listen to FM radio, do you? I lost mine some time ago and would like to replace it. PM me here if you can help out.
Thanks!

Well I actually "had" multiple issues with my Tilt 2 on 3 different occasions which allowed me to pick any phone in the same category. I ended up with the Samsung Captivate which I ended up giving to my cousin.
iboj007: I believe so. It plugs into the mini-USB/Charge port at the bottom of the phone. I can't swear, but I believe the dongle has a mini-USB Port, and at least one headphone port (for 2.5mm) and I think it also has the third headphone port (for 3.5 mm).
It's black (that's the only color I've ever seen it in), and it' looks like a box (with all the ports on one side) and the dongle that plugs into the phone coming out of the "top" side.

I'd be VERY happy to receive the back cover alone, and pay for shipping plus packing.

I would be interested in the battery... mine is on its last leg and lasts about 2 hrs....
I know this is a bit late, but I just saw this thread. The T-Mobile TP2 battery cover is different than all the other ones. Only the T-Mobile battery cover will fit the RHOD210.
what problems did u have with it. just curious cause i want to make up some kind of problem to pick out a different phone. lol im tired of the tilt 2 already. had it for a year and cant do what i want anymore and i want to hop on that android bandwagon for once. =P
do you have any of the stuff left or do you already gave the items away.

Wireless mini keyboard + track pad

For anyone looking for a mini wireless usb keyboard and mouse combo i`ve bought one for my g-tablet. Its a Rii mini keyboard, trackpad and laser combo.
When its plugged in with the dongle to my g-tab it brings up a little mouse cursor (i`m using the vegan-tab b3 ya i know i still need to update )
The website i ordered from says it has a 10m range.. but its more like 7-8m range.
Costs me about $40 with free shipping.
I can`t post links yet since i`m new here but you can get it on dealextreme dot com and the sku is 35354
Also cuz i can`t post links i can`t link to photos i`ve taken but if you want to see some just pm me and i`ll send you my flickr album.
Looking forward to getting my malata zpad dock so I can sit on my butt and use this keyboard to navigate with hdmi out
that looks sweet thanks for the info
Some of the reviews on the site mention poor build quality, is this accurate?
I bought one of these to use with my HTPC. The thing's not bombproof but it feels pretty solid overall for being 100% plastic. Keys are nicely backlit when you want them to be, charges via USB (and has a little Y USB cable so you only have to use one USB port for Charging/Dongle if you want), keys are nice and clicky. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.
do you have the android.apk that comes on the cd? its not on my cd and i cant get the keyboard to pair with my phone...
hmm i never had an android.apk. I just plugged the usb dongle into my g-tablet and it recognized it without problems.
As for poor build quality... i think its pretty solid especially for $40.. I mean the thing is super light and perhaps someone has thought of that being poor build quality?
I'm rather happy with it as well.
Doesn't your gtablet already have bluetooth? Why did you use a usb BT dongle then? i just got this today, and I cannot get it to work with my gtablet. I managed to find the android.apk on riitek's site, but it requires 'internet authentication' which, for some reason, simply will not work.
Are you sure that it's Bluetooth ?
2.4Ghz doesn't make it BT

yea its not bluetooth its just wireless 2.4GHz... i never had to goto rii's website or anything... i just plugged the usb dongle that came with the keyboard into the usb slot on my g-tablet and it picked it up right away... no software needed.
Will this work on TNTlite ver 4.2 ROm? Or just for Vegan?
I have not personally tested it on those roms but if they have usb keyboard/mouse support i don't see why it wouldn't.
Lenovo Keyboard works as well....
I have a G-tab with stock OS and the TnT Enchancement pack. I tried the little wireless Lenovo Keyboard/Trackball that I use on my HTPC and the keyboard part works fine. The mouse does not work, but I did not do any t-shooting so it may just be a config issue.
For those looking for a small keyboard, I can say the Lenovo works well and is very comfortable to hold. I am actually going to look for a bigger keyboard for my G-Tab, so I really just plugged it in to see if it works.

Asus has a whole host of accessories on tap for the hot Transformer tablet/netbook. The keyboard dock was just the beginning. There’s a desktop dock, HDMI-VGA adapter, a very iPad-ish looking folio case, and an adapter to plug in a USB flash drive. Asus has yet to make these official so no word on pricing or availability. They appeared on Asus’ Italian Facebook page about four hours ago. The only thing missing now are the actual Transformers. They’re sold out everywhere and backordered out to nearly irrelevance. Well, there’s always the Xoom. There are plenty of those available along with their entire range of accessories.

the only thing missing now is the tablet itself
Well the keyboard is missing too...
I was lucky enough to get a tablet, but still have no idea when the thing will actually be a "Transformer".
Interesting to see what's in store for us. Thanks for linking.
Hopefully these take off more than the viewsonic g-tablet official accessories that never came to fruition.
really nice to see these accessories for those who don't buy the keyboard. especially the dock and case. Actually bought the sleeve case myself considering god knows when i'll get the keyboard.
I like the USB adapter!!
I kind of wish they would sell extra data/charging cables
Here is also a better article with more info a pictures (Italian)

You can pre-order it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/koYdNl
I would like another power cord. This this appears to be proprietary and if it gets lost, there's no charging the damn thing. I don't care if it's only 2 foot long, I'd like another cable.
Looks like Asus is gonna make a bundle off me. Hope there will be accessories from 3rd party soon.
Hmm!
One of each I think! Except maybe not the SD card reader.
But given that the price of the simplest one is quite high I guess theyre going to be a bit pricey!

I agree, this has been way over-looked, If I damage or loose my existing cable I'm stuffed, don't want to be in that situation.
Hopefully some 3rd party will start pumping them out on eBay or the likes soon.

So when you dock the tablet, you don't need to fiddle wit find the mini hdmi cable just to get a full desktop replacement.
I'm actually very excited to get the SD adapter (wish this was on the tablet instead of the miniSD). I'd like to do some quick photo editing right after shooting.
i wonder if the USB port will work with game controllers and other USB stuff like 3.1 will allow.
Im interested in the USB dongle.
Would this mean that we can have external storage like a HD preloaded with media?
If so, it would be perfect for road trips to load movies on a drive and have the munchkins entertained..
On that note: anything out there that allows the tablet to hang/attach to the headrest on a car seat?

OP's is an HDMI out cradle. Your ebay one is one for a dock on the table and spare battery. Either way both are great =D
The link in OP says the dock allows sync'ing *and* HDMI-out. How'd they do that? I thought that if the MHL was connected we couldn't get USB....
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The sentence says charge your phone and watch a movie/ video at the same time. The other sentence says you can sync with it. I don't believe they're saying you can sync an watch a movie at the same time...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Anyone buy one of these? They have ones where you can dock the phone with a case.
Wow, awesome accessory. Thanks for posting this
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'm pretty interested in this. Has anyone got theirs yet? I am guessing it does not come with a MHL cable. I'd love to know if it allows playing videos while still charging the phone (or at least not losing any juice).
Sorry to change the subject, but what app is this?

From the different pictures of the dock on the website, there is a picture of it having a red inside border, and another without it.
Is it removable, to make it able to fit a phone with a case, or?
I'm asking because i'm looking for a dock to fit my EVO 3D along with the case-mate tough case.
And also, with this dock, would i be able to plug it into my computer and use the mini-usb cable in the dock to transfer files from my computer to my phone?
I see some different kinds of docks around here, and i'm a bit confused which ones can do what.
- Moon
I don't own the cradle but I think I've seen pictures of the dock where you can remove the adapter. The adapter is used if you don't have a case. Keep in mind that not all cases will work with the dock. You may want to email Kidigi and see if your case will fit.
Based off Kidigi website it looks to be removable. See image with red ring. Top center has a tab. Image without a red ring has no tab and the base becomes wider.
http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1316
I think if you have a TPU case it'll work but anything thicker might be an issue. And it looks to be a full HDMI connector in the back of the dock. So that's good too. I was afraid it was mini HDMI.
Does it supports 1080p resolution?

Thats probably up to the phone not the cradle since the cradle is just the medium. Just as if you were using an MHL cable. With my experience with MHL and the evo3d, the output on your TV will not be as good as the original source.

Xperia S as tablet

Hello.
I was thinking of buying a tablet, but since I bought the xperia s phone, I am thinking if it is possible to use the hdmi out of the phone to a larger, portable monitor and use it as a tablet.
Do you know where i could get a lightweight monitor with capabilities of hdmi in so I can hack it into a diy "tablet".
I am considering to use the display only for output i.e no touch screen, although that would be good.
So basically you're looking for a battery powered TV with HDMI input ? something like this
Well yes,but in not that price range
I am thinking of composing one with various components from tablets, but I don't know how a tablet or laptop monitor can be connected to an hdmi adaptor and work without the use of a motherboard or a graphics card.
I don't see the point of a larger display just to connect to your phone considering that it is possible to get a 9.7" IPS screen dual core android tablet for under US$250.. Check pandawill. Look for the Amlogic -MX chipset or the rockchip RK30XX series.
Heck, they even offer ICS to boot.
I dont think you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for, I but I have an idea for you to consider. The Morotola Atrix has a LapDock accessory. This is basically an 11" screen, a usb keyboard / mouse and a huge battery all rolled into one. Someone on the forum has taken the rear apart and it is basically just a micro USB and micro HDMI cable. He plugged his Xperia in and it just worked. Phone will not charge off the battery while the HDMI is enabled, but everything else is fine.
Now, these devices retail for about £300, but recently 2 retailers in the UK have been selling them for £42 and £48, probably because the Atrix is outdated now.
I very nearly took the plunge myself, but I already have a 14" laptop and an iPad

Something to consider.
BigPhil this is exactly what I was looking for.
Since I don't want to spent much money in buying a Windows tablet now, considering the windows 8 tablet release this year, the Morotola Atrix LapDock would do the job.
Do you have any links for the £42 and £48 UK shops?
Sure, but it looks like both offers have ended.

Worth checking that site periodically
Edit: I have just checked eBay and there are loads £40-£75 on there. Good a place as any to start, perhaps pick up a case at the same time.
Umm... this one ?

How well could you fit an S into the Lapdock? Any S users have one?(Pics pls).
At that price its well worth it.
