Any comments? Please advise.
Thank you!

This is just what I've been looking for. So at $32 it's a bargain so I took a chance and ordered it.
I'll let you know if it works.

Please do! This looks like exactly what i need but i want to know how well it works before ordering it.
The main thing i want to know is if the device will allow MHL/hmdi AND usb functionality at the same time. Id like to use the note 3 with my Atrix Lapdock and this looks like it would be a start.

Please keep us posted. Does it support using the keyboard and mouse to access the Note 3 while viewing the photos which stored in my Note 3 ?

Looks very very handy tbh! Thanks for the link. In the future maybe I will buy this

I just ordered it. I will report back as soon as I get a chance to mess with it. I was having issues getting my Canon T1i to stay connected with three other OTG cables I have, Hopefully this works like a charm.

I'll let you know when I get it. But it'll be a while. The seller is in the UK.

There is similar one on E-Bay but it looks just like Samsung one.

Does this charge the phone as well?

You can much more easily use blue tooth for the mouse and keyboard

Yes. But you can't use streaming without HDMI on older TV's.

I already knew about that one, but it costs more, and it's a little bigger.

I like the look of this thing and seems capable enough, but I hate the idea of anything like that connected directly to the phone that way. I have looked for micro usb 3.0 and micro usb 2.0 extension cables but i'm not finding much. And what I am finding is kinda pricey. Amazon has two, but reviews on one are iffy and there are none on the other. I did find this site http://www.usbfirewire.com/uextendmicrob.html , but i'm not sure these would work with the desktop dock kit.
Might someone have hands on experience with a < 6" extension cable (either male to male or male to female) that would work with this? Thanks.

I also found a coupon code for 30% off brando products, but I can't see where to apply it on their site or the worldpay site when you check out. Anyone have any idea how to apply a code for them?

Any reviews? It's nearly a month since your post.

I would also like a review on this hub. Looking to pick it up so I can take my phone around and play my emulators hooked up to a TV.

Desktop Dock Connection Kit
Hi everyone. I just recived my dock.
Unfortunately is MHL 1.1, so all you will have is 1280x720px on the screen. Also it lacks 5.1 sound support (al these features from MHL 2.0).
Works well, but you will see more detailed graphics on the Note III 5,7 inches screen rather than on an 46 inches TV Screen.
OTG Works nice (surprisingly, when you connect a keyboard thru USB, the note screen atomatically tunrs off to save battery and prevent overheating, very nice "hidden" feature from Samsung).
The construction looks cheap, the plastic hasn't nice finishing, but nothing too remarkable. The usb female plugs are tight as ****, so be careful when extracting dongles (specially the cheap ones) because you will left the half of the male conector inside the dock.
Feel free to ask any question or test to make.
Regards

Anker EVO 3D cradle

Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

Please do - I'm now very curious since the price has dropped to a reasonable level.
I'm specifically interested in whether dock mode is automatically enabled, and what apps can be run from that configuration.
Also - I doubt it, but I'm curious if an MHL adapter can be connected to the dock to enable HDMI out.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I was afraid having a case will interfere with this. What type case do you have by the way? I was kinda hoping atleast a TPU case would work with this dock.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

Docking keyboards

With my original samsung 10.1, Newegg sent me a free docking keyboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875998866). Will this work with the galaxy tab 2 10.1? I hope so.
Well took a look at the thickness and it appears that the original tabs were 0.34 and the tab 2 is 0.38. Man that is close
Is the connector in the same place?

I do not have it yet. While I was waiting for a reply I did find a thread where someone stated they could get it in there but it was really tight. Not sure if I would like putting that much stress on it.
The dock Connector is in the same spot but it is a snug fit and it does need to be forced our it will not fit

Maybe some careful work with a Dremel would do the trick?
Not sure if I would want to do that. I guess when it comes in I will try it and see what happens. If way too tight I will just cry and move on.
Tried the samsung dock. I don't think it's worth it to try to force the tablet into the dock. I went out and bought a Bluetooth keyboard
Sorry to hear it did not work out for you. So which keyboard did you end up getting? I'm considering getting a keyboard also.
I'm going to try sanding an old dock with Dremel, as someone suggested. Will keep you posted.
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda premium
I was on the road this week and used the OTG USB adapter and a small USB keyboard along with either a stand or my portfolio case. Here's the trick. Put the tablet upside down so the connector is on the top. The screen rotates so you don't care. You have to be careful not to put the device such that the volume buttons get mashed down, but otherwise that's not a problem. The USB port is now on top and you can plug the keyboard in and type.
Not perfect because you can't charge and type at the same time, but not bad for a "field expedient!"
Dremel did the trick
I did some light sanding, grinding and brushing with a Dremel tool, that worked perfectly. I needed about .9mm in thickness and .1mm in width. After about 30 mins work, I was able to fit my P5100 into a dock belonging to a P7500. It now slips in and out perfectly, and will not damage the finish on the tablet.
If you're not confident with a Dremel, you could also use some low gauge sandpaper, which will also work, since there's very little to be adjusted. Be sure to concentrate on the parts protruding from the surface for the corners of the tablet.
Ah, no pics?
I'll post some better ones tomorrow. As you might be able to see, the finish isn't all that great, but it is pretty smooth so it won't scratch the Tab. The tab fits completely clean, shaking the dock does not affect connectivity, all keys work. I'll work on that some more with a rubber attachment or a polisher and post some updates. Here's what I've done so far.

Makes me wanna get one of these instead of waiting on Samsung to release one.
Very nice!!! I bought the dock with my P5113 thinking that they were direct plug and play and didn't realize that the Tab didn't fit in the dock connector.
I've removed the piece that holds the tab in the dock for now and am typing on the keyboard successfully. I'll probably have to do the same thing you did to modify the dock for a proper fit as I'm intending to use the Tab/keyboard combo as a laptop replacement in college this year.

This isn't a docking keyboard, but this is what I finally decided I am getting. What sold me is the size (this is a portable tablet, why do I want a non-portable keyboard?), the fact that is has a mouse nub, and the nice case it comes with which doubles as a tablet stand.

I assume you referring the student edition that released that includes , keyboard and usb adapter.Judging from the pictures of the keyboard I would guess it will not properly due to that part where tablet docks. It sticks up a bit which seems like it would not allow the tablet case to close as the dock connector would be in the screen. That's only my assumption from the pictures I've seen.

Thank you for your speedy reply. Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know what you mean by "student edition". I am probably wrong but I thought the user would unplug the usb and tuck it in the spine area of the cover before closing it. Of course that comes from not remembering where the usb is on the SGT2 but thinking it would be a good habit in general. As I had said I haven't gotten this tablet yet, the check is in the mail as they say. I do have a Nook Tablet that I rooted back the end of December that will be going to my mother as I want to "move up" in my choice of tablets. I would prefer the Samsung Galaxy Note S. I am short on part of the money so that is another determining factor if I should forget the SGT2 and a keyboard and save for the Note and basically not have to worry to match about needing a keyboard. Again Thank You! for your speedy reply. I will continue to look over those pictures to see what I can understand from them.

About Samsung HDMI MHL adapter

I got it today and works brilliant. However even small movement of the adapter makes noise like something is shaking inside. Can you tell me if your adapters do the same crackling sound?

Works without having to plug in an external power source. Tested on Galaxy S3, S4, Note 3.
Though when I used it on the S3 I did plug the power source in because we were streaming a really long movie and the phone wasn't charged fully.
Jep I bought that one too. Will arrive this week or next week. I'll let you know how it worked out for me. I really need this badly

I bought one over the Christmas break, and turned out it was fake, so I sent it back and they sent me a real one. Before returning the fake one I took some comparison pictures side-by-side, and can tell you exactly what it should look like. The real one is very sturdy compared to the fake one.

when you squeeze the body of the device, the plastic gives a little bit. When you squeeze the real one, it does not give. This is probably because it actually has the proper components within, whereas the fake one seems to be missing something inside.

In this one the real one is one the left, and you may notice how to corners on the device are more defined than the fake one, regarding the outside of it and the HDMI female plug.
On top is the real one, and it looks like it has a more yellowish hue to the white compared to the fake one.
Here the real one is on the bottom, and you can tell the MHL label is a little lighter of a shade of grey. The metal male plug is also different, with the real one having a little smoother look to it and where the metal interlocks in the middle it seems to be in a different style in the fake one.
On the right is the fake one. It looks like the connector's edges are more defined and has two ridges along the bottom, whereas the fake one it seems there are none.
Let me know if you guys want more pics, I took plenty just in case.
Mine is genuine because its from Amazon directly. But the crackling noise when you shake it is a bit concerning

What kind of power source? Also, did that choke on the adapter come with it, or did you add that yourself?

Nice setup. I find it most interesting that the note pro fits an iPad Air sleeve with room to spare. Looking at the differences in the screens, one would not think that to be remotely possible.
From a keyboard standpoint, the Logitech standalone for Android cannot be beat *if* you are looking for keyboards which are not attached to a case. I've used mine on several tablets, all with wonderful success. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-android-win8-rt?crid=1242

Nice setup. I find it most interesting that the note pro fits an iPad Air sleeve with room to spare. Looking at the differences in the screens, one would not think that to be remotely possible.
From a keyboard standpoint, the Logitech standalone for Android cannot be beat *if* you are looking for keyboards which are not attached to a case. I've used mine on several tablets, all with wonderful success. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-android-win8-rt?crid=1242

Yeah, with a case just length wise there is room. This I don't mind one bit.
That keyboard looks very nice, maybe I will get one. This one is okay, but so very small it is and that makes my hand cramp up when typing. I have been told I have an odd hand positioning when typing on a keyboard.

With the "micro USB otg cable" I posted. But, I would not suggest getting it. After a month, it has stopped working with me hard drive. 5 bucks for a month of usage is fair trade for me lol. No computer, hardly ever use the TV I do own. So always I use this for movies, and TV shows that I have on my hard drive.

Pls help to read external hard drive Note Pro 12.2
Nice Pack.
I tried 2 different portable hard drive fat32 / NTFS (500GB) neither of them worked. I tested the fat32 with note 3 N900 and note 10.1 2014 both worked with no problems but no luck with my new Note pro 12.2 4G :crying:.
Help needed is it hardware or software issue ?
Pretty good mobile set you you got going.:good:

Nexus 6 Desk Dock (Not NFC)

Has anyone come across a good Nexus 6 Desk Dock yet? I am a developer and like connecting my phone to my computer on a dock when I program so I can send an app to the device without the cables getting in the way or touching the phone. I had one for my Note II and while it looked crappy, it got the job done. I don't need anything fancy, Universal works, too as long as the phone is in portrait mode and the cable can be reversed.
I came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MUHUCBI/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p107_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1AD2M7P2BPSP2AG056PN&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop
I think I'd like to get something a little more secure, but this would probably work well for me anyways.
Sorry... *Not Qi... Long day. Tired and mixed up the wireless techs in my typing...

Connector isn't facing the right way. Its not going to work with Nexus or HTX One. Thanks though.. That's on the right track!
I JUST ordered one on amazon. It's supposed to be really good and the looks are exactly what I was searching for. It's called Bracketron Nanotek Stand. Mine's the aluminum silver version. Weird how we are both thinking the same thing even though I have never really thought of getting one for any device before.
I found what I'm looking for... but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I guess the technical term is cradle.

Since it was posted on their site January 6th, I guess it hasn't made it out to retailers yet. The sell a universal one for the M8 that would work with our phones, but I'd rather get something that supports the device on the sides as well.
This dock is perfect! Has anyone been able to get it yet?

If you don't mind waiting, the same thing can be had for half the price on ebay. FYI I am using one as an iPad stand and it's working very well. Good thing is it works with or without case, bad thing is obviously you need to plug the cable in manually every time.

The only US distributer is Naked Cell Phone (basically an eBay store but they do have a website). I contacted them 3 weeks ago and they said 10 days they should be receiving them.... So that's 11 late now ?. I keep checking their eBay store daily to see if they get them in.
Sorry if I am dreaming
I need a dock or stand that can handle a thick case.
Size of Nexus 6 is 6.27" x 3.27" x 0.4" (159 x 83 x 10.1 mm), so it should handle 0.4" or greater.
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

I ended up getting that one. After bending to make room for a USB cable on the bottom and still allowing it to stay upright and not fall backwards, I still only kinda like it. It works if I don't have to touch the phone. If I have a button on the top half, it falls backwards.
Thanks. Do you remember where you ordered it from?

I got it from Amazon. Ended up buying the RND dock that recently came out on EBay. Gets here on Saturday.
I found this desk dock that looks like it would do the trick and it's cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charge-Windows/dp/B00RWFVS1Q/
I don't have my Nexus 6 yet, but can someone tell me if or how this works with Daydream? According to this: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2818748?hl=en 'By default, your device may only Daydream when it is docked. If you want your device to Daydream whenever it is plugged in, make sure to set "When to Daydream" as "Either" or "While charging."'
Are the docks wired for the phone to know if is docked like the Galaxy Notes I have had, or is there another way? Are there special docks that enable dock mode for the Nexus 6? If so, I haven't been able to find any yet.
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMOBI4-2I...t=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item43d6b7daf6..
It's properly made for the Nexus 6 and fits perfectly. You may not want the landscape orientation but it works well for me.
This is the one I'm using: http://fuzdesigns.com/pages/EverDock
Not keen on universal docks
I have to say that I am not a fan of universal docks like the Ever Dock. The bottom of the N6 is rounded and the lack of support at the sides means it can wobble while plugged in.
Sooner or later this is going to damage the USB port.

They have a thicker rubber part you can buy. That plus the case on the phone means the phone rests evenly on the dock.
That makes sense. I hate cases so I keep forgetting that a lot of people use them.
Has anybody found one that activates dock mode for Daydream?
