Note 3 OTG cable - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Hi,
I just found out that note 3 uses a USB 3.0, is there any existing OTG cable for it?
thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:

It supports USB2 as well (the connector works with both) so your existing OTG cable will still work.

hi, Thanks for the reply
usb 3.0 and 2.0 has different plugs, 3.0 is bigger than 2.0, so I would need to look for an adapter for my old OTG cable to work with note 3?
thanks

No, not at all. Look carefully at the USB 3 plug - yes it's bigger but it also contains a USB2 shaped plug. USB2 cables plug into that as per normal. Think of it as USB2 with extra pins to the side of it - that's also why it has an odd shape.

oh really? that's new to me thanks alot!

It may work .. it will plug in but may not work and the note 3 is the first Android with usb3.0 plug so there may be a wait for the cable as the mhl cable May not work either have to wait and see

USB 3 has the 2 port cable so one port in and one port out... that is why it has the smoking fast speeds. dedicated I/O

With Note 3's OTG able to uses full speed of USB 3.0?

If you own any 3.0 western digital hard drives...you will be able to use those cords

I can confirm regular USB OTG cables work, as do MHL cables (tried Samsung MHL 2.0 cable and Smart Dock, both work).

Good news! Thank you very much!!

I found some one whos tested the phone's usb capabilities: :good::good::victory:

Just ordered the OTG and the MHL 2.0 cables from Samsung directly. Coupon code rv18623 saved me 50% so I got both for 36.86 including tax and shipping and don't have to worry about fake products.
Of course next week they'll probably release USB 3.0 versions...

I am using this one.

it's cool,where to buy it? How much?

OEM Rezound USB(MHL) cable?

I think there's already a thread with a shopping link to the cable, just the "search this forum" option glitches out on my Rezound.
Anyway, I'm fed up with standard micro USB cables coming loose while charging this thing(especially while driving & using the phone via AUX on head unit to play music).
Can someone post a shopping link to the original cable that comes with the Rezound
Please do not post a regular micro USB link as I've already gone through multiple ones that were 'snug' at first but eventually loosened up.
Thanks!
Search for EXTMicro USB. There is no such thing as an MHL cable.

Oh but contraire, MHL stands for mobile high-definition link and its for hdmi out

MHL is a standard for transmitting, not hardware. It works over many different kinds of cables, including Micro USB.
So I repeat, there is no such thing as an MHL cable. There are MHL adapters, but they use . . . MicroUSB or EXTMicro USB.

Just trying to clear the air about that. A lot of people really seem to prefer the solidity of the EXTMicro connector and it's going to be a lot easier for people to shop for cables with them if they know the correct name.

That does not come with an EXTMicro connector. So while the charger is the same, the MicroUSB is not which is what this thread is about.

good OTG Cable (that fit well without harming the flimsy cover)

I got a xtz and like it very much.
Rightnow I am using the otg cable which i bought for nexus 7 and it works well.
But it is not perfect fit for xtz. It is hurting the cover which is already flimsy . So I am searching for another. Please let me know if you know one that works and fits perfect, like charger.
Thanks :highfive:

I have ended up with a few cables not I have found that a generic right angled cable works best as it doesn't muck up the cover and is out of the way to the side. I bought one from China and if you don't mind the wait its cheap and fits very well. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261141894160
is the xtz using a USB "micro-B" or the usual USB micro ??
Hi,
I want to buy an Angled USB OTG cable for my XTZ. The problem is, I haven't seen anyone on this forum reporting an angled cable that fits well and clears the fragile clip cover of the port.
Questions:
1. Anyone know of an Angled USB OTG cable that you can recommend?
2. Should the cable be a USB "micro-B" or the usual USB micro?
Thanks!

Thanks prasadm, I just saw it on your website link.
Naturally, I will try to find one off Amazon for the US market. At least I know, the USB micro-A should be a better "fit" than the usual micro-B which is a bit loose.
What i did was shave off some of the plastic from OTG cable and made it fit perfectly.No metal is showing where i shaved it just more plastic..
guys does OTG even work on the 2013 XTZ ?
ive got two otg cables that work just fine with my galaxy s4, but no luck on the sony tab.
what gives? i'm running stock factory rom and not going to root

[Q] uUSB to VGA adapter

Has anyone tried this adapter: http://shop.brando.com/Micro-USB-to-VGA-Audio-Output-Cable_p10586c0312d002.html
to show presentations or such on a VGA screen/projector from the Note Pro 12.2?
Keep in mind that our mini usb connector is not normal. It's not clear what the connector looks like on that link but I suspect it's the wrong one. But you could always get an adapter to make it work.

You're confusing MicroUSB with MiniUSB... The NotePro has, just like all Android device, a MicroUSB.

I have tried the micro usb that came with my logitech keyboard and it doesn't seem to fit in the 12.2 usb slot. There is resistance and I don't want to force it for fear of bending the pins. That's the reason I have said that the normal micro usb doesn't fit.
All of my micro-USB accessories fit just fine in mine (mhl, OTG, chargers)

Hm, the one that came with my Logitech K801 fits perfectly.
There are pins on the USB plug's bottom side that ensure the cable remains in place. It's possible those were not quite as flexible as the ones on the Samsung cable.
(I'll not ask if you're using the right side of the slot, I'm assuming that much was obvious )
Thanks Shadow...I tried again, forcing it this time and you are correct. It fits. I apologize to all for my misleading comments I said before in this thread about the Micro USB not working. It just required a little harder push.

I don't think it's called MHL anymore but the Global S8 specs page does show that it supports DisplayPort over USB-C and "video out when connecting via HDMI Adapter".

I figured saying MHL type was easier to understand since most Galaxy users had one of those cables to mirror the phones display back in the day.
I put the order in for the cable already and it should arrive before the phone but maybe we'll get lucky and all get S8 shipped notifications tomorrow morning... Wishful thinking.

I ended up ordering the cable from Amazon as well since my sister wanted one to hook up to her 4ktv. The one from Amazon was delivered last night. Now just the waiting game for my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus to arrive...
Here's the Amazon link if anyone preferred ordering from 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.

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.
