As this is my first post, I'd like to say hello to the community!
I'm thinking about building a (lap)dock for my a510.
First thing I'm looking for is a way to get the special microusb plug other than buying a new charger, but i think nobody has found a supplyer for just the plug.
Second: Does anybody know if the usb host capabilities do also work if the tab is charging?
Third: As the charging connector has 12(?) pins I am curious which signals are are led out of the plug other than charging.
So if you have an answer to any of the above questions please give a feedback!
Thanks in advance.

Hey all, was wondering if anyone could answer this who currently owns a Transformer Keyboard Dock.
Since the dock has a battery built into it, can I charge devices via USB without the tablet docked into the keyboard or does the tablet have to be docked in order to use the USB to charge the device?
Also, I have seen pictures of a usb adapter for the transformer but cannot find it anywhere. Anyone aware of it's availability?
Thanks so much for the help!!
I just plugged a mytouch 3g into the usb port of the dock with the tablet disconnected and it did not charge the device. But as soon as I docked the tablet it started charging.
The usb adapter you describe I'm pretty sure hasn't been released yet.
hope that answered your question

yes thank you, just unfortunate as to what the answers are. have been putting off purchasing a tablet but after seeing that $100 coupon off tablets at staples this morning i am very tempted to finally pick up a transformer. Just concerned about keeping my Thunderbolt charged while tethering it to the tablet since I don't really have a strong need for the keyboard dock as of now. hope the usb adapter comes out soon.
what are your honest thoughts on the transformer?
i tried to charge my Blackberry with my keyboard dock and it wouldn't work at all..with or without the tablet docked.
Strange.....
Hai.
So I was thinking a bit here... Is it possible to charge and sync the tablet at the same time?
Im planning on making a charger port on the PC like this
But, wouldnt it be possible to attach the data cables from a USB port as well, basically making it a 12V USB port?
Or, does the tablet shut off all USB data when it receives 12-15V? Or is the charger cable wired in a weird way that it sends 5V to a different pin on the tablet than the 15V charging voltage?
Also, would it be possible to make something similar for the USB Host Dongle, making it possible to use USB stuff and charge the tablet at the same time? That would obviously require modding and adding a special charging port though.
What do you guys think? Am I thinking completely wrong here?
Sorry, Im just gonna try a bump on this.
If I could figure out a way to charge the tablet while using the USB Adapter it would be awesome, since then I wouldnt really have any need for the keyboard dock (even though its very nice, its still quite expensive when all I really need is a USB port).
Well guys, since youre all chickens ( ), I went ahead and tried charging and syncing at the same time myself...
I'll let the screenshot speak for itself
edit: fix'd the picture...
Hi everyone!
I've been looking at making an a charging dock for my Xperia P and one of the things I would like to add would be a charging point. I was thinking about a micro usb terminal which connected with a terminal on the dock so it would charge without having to keep connecting and disconnecting them. I apologise for the lack of any major keywords but I have no idea what they are called.
Any help about anything that is around or any projects that people have already done would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Hello Everybody , I have a Tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 . In fact my Tablet is charging slowly and when i connect with the usb cable my computer does not recognize the Tablet . Somebody can help me
Are you using original cable ?
Long cable tend to be slow charing
I just received my Note 10.1, a used one with 3m length cable, and same as you, not recognized by the pc, I ordered shorter one on ebay
Also not sure Galaxy charging works for this tablet, but it's less than 0.5A when using this cable, sooo....
i had a problem like this.
Use the original cable, or a usb 3.0

Hi all,
I'm looking for an Android tablet that has a separate (DC-in) charging port. Or maybe two independent USB ports, one for OTG and one for charging.
I've seen devices with round DC-in jack before but don't remember brands or models. Tablet-specs databases usually don't go into much detail regarding charging ports.
Any advice?
TIA
