Micro USB host cable - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked all over the place online for a Micro USB host cable (micro male to usb 2.0 female) and cant find one anywhere, ok cant say anywhere because they have them on ebay from hong Kong. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a cable and not an adapter. I see all these picture of the cable I am looking for hooked up to a Xoom but cant find it anywhere.

I would like one of these as well. I can find adapters everywhere, but I have no doubt that I would break one off if I got it. I've found the Hong Kong stuff on ebay as well, but I don't really trust that stuff.

Its not that hard to make your own if your handy and have both an extra female USB and MicroUSB cable lying around.

I got a micro to full size female adaptor off eBay from
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180648882313
I then got a full sized USB male to full size female extension cable from
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230449719867
It is not pretty but got from NY and OH cheaply. It works well for reading my thumbdrive. Be advised I got two micro to full female adaptors from a company on EBay called cablesonline.net. Their adaptor will not work in my Xoom. The pinout is different I guess.

Does this adapter have the pins 4 and 5 shorted on the micro USB side to activate USB OTG host mode on the phone ?
Or else it's useless.
You now find a lot of cables, too, but the question is still pending...

Save yourself the aggravation and just get one of the Moto Camera Kit cable. Yes, it's pricy but you know that it works. The others are really hit or miss. I got lucky on one, but missed on three others. At least the misses were fairly cheap...still...

I bought ohne AT Amazon
http://www.amazon.de/Nokia-Micro-US...KI/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1312475592&sr=8-23
IT works just great, looks good and is flexible due to the little piece of cable between theplugs.
Only thing, you'll have to do is, file the corners of the micro plug to a more round fitting. This could be done in two minutes and is quite easy.

I bought mine from the link above. Yeah its from hong kong but Its tottaly legit and the cable works perfectly. Just takes about two weeks to arrive

Don't know yet if it's OK, as it's not there yet !
I think I'll have to use a powered USb hub, as the HD2 doesn't seem to provide the necessary power supply.

OMG! Just buy the motorola one. You may say it's $20, but hey at least you know it works. Trust me you want the real deal if you use a usb hdd so the wiring is not cheap. That way if something fries then you weren't using an off brand that voids the warranty.

Agreed. The moto cable is well built and the perfect length for me. I use an SD to USB adapter for my dSLR and am able to plug this in through the moto cable to my xoom and just have it out of the way.

I purchased this one from ebay:
//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320714744467&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It arrived in under 10 days and works fine and was only $4 which included shipping. Also, the 90° end is really nice.
Sorry, couldn't make the link, not enough posts.

Stores sellig mini to micro USB?

Any stores selling mini to Micro USB adapters ote rthan onlne?
check www.monoprice.com ... just got ordered 6 micro usb to standard usb cables (of assorted length, from 1.5 to 6 ft) for $12 bucks shipped, priority mail.. then got a wall plug at Target that takes 2 USB cables for 20 bucks... works nicely.
I accidently tripped over my charger cable and some how my micro usb got kinda bent out of shape, I was a bit upset at how cheap the charger looked. It wasn't very HTC like. well I ordered a cable and a wall charger, and a car charger. I might be buying the car docking station when it comes out. It'd be pretty sweet.

Best Buy has a ~2ft USB cable with a mini plug (same as G1) on it but it comes with a mini to micro adapter. I dont know about data on it but it works great with existing mini wall and car chargerrs. The adapter is only about 1" long. The one that I bought at Best Buy was 14.99 and made by rocketfish. Only one I could find with an adapter.
If you have a fry's store nearby, go there. I think you can find mini-micro adapters as well as micro-usb cables. Plus, Frys sells these things at far lower prices than bestbuy.
I'm getting this one:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32597
CAUTION - this site is a kinda "I WANT ONE OF THEM, OH AND ONE Of THEM TOO but don't really need any of it". My first time there I got pig torches, rare earth magnets, a green laser & a dolphin bracelet for my lass (a token gift for my lass) - none of which we needed!
couldn't help my self - cheap as chips - with free delivery to boot
And before you ask, no affiliation with dealextreme.

[ACS] Bb cables for $1.33!!!! [confirmed to be legit MICRO BB CABLES]!!!

Just bought 2 of those last week, they are working great for me.
According to the reviews these are not genuine cables.
United Integral says that this is a "Blackberry" cable and even uses a picture (illegally) of a Blackberry cable, an OEM one. This cable is NOT Blackberry and doesn't work as a data and charging cable for my phone. DO NOT PURCHASE this if you want a cable that works.

Ah ok, yes that is true. samsung has had crappy usb cables for years. The longer, softer rubber cable that comes with the tmo galaxy 4g seems to be of better quality than the harder, less flexible cable that came with my epic...
tmo galaxy s also comes with a 1650mah battery compared to our 1500... i stole my gf's battery got the time being (shhh) lol. Anyone have a link to where I can buy a oem 1650 battery? Preferably ebay? I got ebay bucks

And it works just as good?? I've used many of those extensions and they've never been able to supply enough power for my external harddrives to ever work of them so it may not be supplying the full 500mA

Damn man. That's crazy. Although I thought $5 was a good price for my 12 foot cable. Although, I would never use this cheap of a cable for my home entertainment setups. The only kind of HDMI cables they see are ones made by Audio Quest. I prefer the Chocolate series since its right in the middle in terms of silver content and price.
Before anyone tells me its a digital signal and all HDMI cables are made equally, you can save your breath. I've seen the quality difference in both sound and video first hand. Have fun powering your 55in. high end Plasma or LED with your Dynex cable.

Hey, maybe they work fine. I purchased a 2 pack of 6 foot HDMI cables from BJ's for $20.00. That was a year after paying nearly $40 for one at Radio Shack. They work as they as supposed to.

I got a cheap HDMI micro cable for my G2X and it kind of sucks. It has to be kind of jammed in at an angle and the slightest movement will cause drops in signal.
Now, does anyone have a recommendation on a good cable? Price isn't an issue.

I got a nice one from Best Buy and ordered the $5 one from ebay. The one from Best Buy is by far a better cable. Think it was like 30 bucks.
It's 3 bucks after shipping. I dont mind trying it out to see how it performs. If it works great, if it doesnt, thats fine too. I didn't even plan on using the HDMI port on my G2X, but for 3 bucks, I'll give it a try.
Monster MediaBridge HDMI Cables
If they were 50 cents with Amazon Prime I would get them.. but $3 after shipping or $4.99 w/prime.
However I've purchased some cheap hdmi cables online before and had hit & miss experiences with their functionality. However I've had nothing but good experiences with Monster's mediabridge series. I have a 6ft, 15ft, and 25ft HDMI>HDMI of this cable and they are sturdy and reliable.
$8.99 w/ prime on Amazon, so they're not THE cheapest cable you can buy but its a great one for the price.
Mediabridge - High Speed Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable with Ethernet - 6ft
Luckily I have a good 10 or 12ft HDMI>MiniHDMI from my Canon ELPH so I'll just keep this bookmarked until that one needs to be replaced.
I got my HDMI cable today. It came from Hand Held Items (HHI). The cable is great... no crazy video and the audio is awesome. Nice gold-platted ends as well and they fit in my tv and phone just fine.
.50 for an HDMI a cable that gets the same job a $6 - $30 cable can do. Thanks for the recommendation!

Best USB / Card Adaptor?

Hi Guys,
Been looking at loads including the official ones, which is the best USB / Crd adaptor to get?
Most likley will use a USB Flash drive rather than a Sim card, but depends on the best adaptor to get.

I ordered the Official ones (both the USB and the SD Card Adapter from amazon), they should arrive today.
In my limited experience they should work correctly as long as you plug it in correctly.
What I am going to try today though is using a generic USB card reader and the usb adapter to see if it works. If it does I might return the SD reader, only because I have multiple types of cards floating around.
There is an adapter on Amazon that has the SD/USB together and toggles with a physical switch but everyone seems to complain about the quality of manufacturing (flimsy, cheap, etc.) and I didn't want to gamble so I went OEM.
I purchased the official Samsung one from BBY (employee discount ) and it works amazingly. Plug in my Flash drive and it reads it without hesitation. Going to plug it into my keyboard dock permanently when it comes in tomorrow.
Theres a micro sd card reader which I like because its the smallest, the others looked a bit bulky to me. Not OEM but it works fine. Got it from amazon for about £8.

Just as a follow up, I love the Samsung ones I purchased, but I would stongly suggest getting the USB reader, the SD card Reader can be replaced with just a generic card reader (I tested with IOGEAR GFR 209) for maximum flexibility. And it's cheaper ($9) vs whatever the total cost of the combo kit is ($20) I believe. It might be a wash all things considered but I'd go the the multicard reader because you can read different formats...
Overall the 10.1 accessories work just fine in this case.
Now on to finding a good stylus!
Also have the combo kit from Samsung here too.
They work great. Fast trasnfer speeds too. Reliable recognition.
It didn't work with my WD passport 2.5 320gb HDD though. That requires a bit of power, so that wasn't expected.
I just bought the USB adapter. Does it work with ics? I can't test yet

I've been using this generic USB adapter, and it's handled my 1gb cards as well as 32gb cards with those tiny microSD readers. Just connected a cheap Verbatim 2gb drive, and it read as a high power device that couldn't be read. I unplugged and plugged and it connected fine. Transferred files just fine.
I like it because it's just the dock connector and a thin cable instead of a big plastic contraption sticking out.

Anyone answer my query re Memory Card?
I use a sandisk 32gb class 4 with no issues. Heck, I even throw the class 2 one in from time to time. Haven't had any playback issues of videos on either. I think the key is more write speeds for recording video, but does the 8.9 record HD (never bothered to look or care) video, and would you if you could? Would imagine most are using their phones to do that.

Only thing is I'm not sure about how it actually would charge. It shows a few shots of a USB A to Micro USB cable, then a few of it with what looks like a physically attached cable.
Who's getting it to test it for me US?

According to this one it maxes out at 2.4A
$48 bucks that a bit steep.
I'll wait for other options.
Second link has it for $39, some of their other retailers probably have it for cheaper. I'd pay that for a good dock, the TYLT VU was more expensive than that.
35 bucks is simply too much for what appears to be a plastic shell. At least with the ridiculously overpriced Vu they give you the means to power your device without having to steal a cable from elsewhere in your collection.

Actually, that is an Australian site, so it is $39 AUD which is around $29 USD.

Let us know how it works out. I don't think it will work with znaps and I'm a backer too. I didn't consider that when looking at these...
Damn.
The znaps adapters look kind of long and I think with the dock fully retracted it would still sit high and be unstable.
Waiting for RND to have theirs for purchase or when nakedcellphone carries them on ebay. Last year for the Nexus 6, RND had theirs available first, so I ordered from them. This exact dock was on AliExpress for bulk purchase and the USB connector had RND branding on it, so I'm sure it will be available soon as well.

Let us know what you guys think when it comes in. I'm still interested in one of these but I'm willing to wait till I get one that charges fast enough.

I think that will mostly depend on what you plug it into. It doesn't come with the brick (at least its not included in the "Whats in the box" part). On Alibaba.com its rated at 1A @5V, on ebay its listed at 2A @5V. Its just a USB A to type C 2.0 cable, though so its going to charge at whatever your Type A power source is.
I won't be of much help to you as I'm not using this as a charger. I plug these docks into a USB 3.0 Hub that goes into my Mac Mini dev computer. My previous Kidigi/RND docks (same dock), didn't have the cable attached. These do. Can we modify it... probably. The other docks also had OTG support, which this one does not. I paid more for the Nexus 6 Docks though, and I never used the OTG port anyway.

Bah, you are a huge help to me.
Good points all around, some of the pictures I've seen of this one have attached cables, others show unattached cables. If it is unattached, I'm thinking 3.0A will work fine on it, they probably only tested with 2.4A chargers at max.
You know, like how the Micro SD card thing used to go? 32GB Micro SD capable, because that's the biggest one we could test with at the time.
I have just received my dock, and the Type A cable is wired straight into the dock.

This sounds like a good bedside dock, i'm not concerned with rapid charging while sleeping. That will free up my rapid charger for my living room or kitchen. Might have to consider this now. How long is the cable? 1m or 2m?
It is now listed on Amazon for $25.99

My thoughts the same. It is about 1m, not got a measuring tape to hand at the moment.
