Which USB hub do you use with your TF700 and would you recommend it?
Got one of these:

Fits nicely on the side, sturdy without taking up a lot of space. And cheap. Works for me.

I bought a really small USB cable for my nexus one but I'd like to use my Nexus as a massive thumb drive too.
Any suggestions on a super skinny thing usb cable? One without such big thick plastic on either end.

1.5ft for $0.85 good enough for ya?
I have an even shorter cable but my question was more is there something with thiner metal or plastic ends so it could fit more comfortably in my case or with my phone at all times.
I've seen lots of usb sticks with wildly thin plastic usb ends like the OCZ micro whatever stick.
So any cables like that exist?
I just received my dock from Expansys, and I gotta say, it is awesome. I cannot find any bad points about it, the phone fits nice and the base of the cradle is very solid.
I recommend!
Oh, that is a good looking cradle Does it include an usb cable?
Nice looker, does it come with a charger? Also any chance of a quick video?
Gah I want one that will fit the otterbox commuter case with it.
Looks like a universal dock it is.
Nope, does not come with a charger. I ordered a 3m micro usb cord with it, works fine. It is always connected to my computer.
I can shoot a video, maybe tomorrow
There you go! Sorry for the quality, I had to shoot in medium/low light.
I need some dock for DHD but I have silicon case on DHD, do someone know some dock for it?
I've had this since release day, it appears to be excellent in all respects apart from not being about the mount the sd card as a usb disk. If I connect my phone directly to the usb cable this works fine, however, when via the cradle cannot see my sd card.
Are you having the same issue?

Mine works fine ??
I ordered the same. But I will never order one again, atleast, not at expansys. I never had such a bad customer service. The product is good. (the dutch site says it comes with a cable, but it doens't, the english site says it doesn't come with one).
It's very stylish and stable, but hell no. What A pain to get that thing send to me.
I want another dock for work, so I'll ook elsewehere. I like the one with the 3,5 mm jack out.
Thanks for the video jkoljo, it looks like good quality and a nice fit.
I got one with my phone from expansys and it did had a charger .. well an oem new HTC slim charger .. well built and nice quality
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
looks pretty and focusses the view on the DHD...
got to get one of these

hey quick question since i hate wall chargers. coming from a blackberry that just had to sit in its cradle to charge without any plugging in of some micro usb end whatsoever, does this cradle allow for easy sliding in/on and out or do you basically have to yank it out like the male connector of the wall charger that sits extremely tight in the micro usb port? I'm always afraid of breaking off/bending that thin thing sitting inside the micro usb port. Not only does it look easily breakable, i've seen it break on other phones before
I have brand new one available for sale, advertised in the Marketplace http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899525
fana05: It is not as tight as the wall charger, but the device will definitely not fall out the dock if you turn it upside down. The dock has nice edges that go around the device, so I think that it is not very easy to break the connector.
Anyone know if these exist?
Have not tried this cable, but people are saying it fits from the reviews:

That's not an OTG.
I noticed that it is difficult to find anything that will work. I have one of these but sadly it doesn't fit with the Spigen case... but to be fair, it doesn't fit with any other cases that I've tried either.
I found that I had but two options:
I could remove the top portion which revealed additional space for the adapter to fit with the case on allowing it to still function properly. However, it also means that you'll have to "break" it to use it.
Find an extension cable of some kind. One that will fit with the case on and allow MHL OTG connectivity to the adapter. I haven't had any luck finding one but I'm sure they can't be too difficult to make. I mean, after all it's only a cable. LOL! I guess there's just not a huge demand for it but they have to be out there. Let me know if you find one because that's my personal ideal solution.
You can use any. Use a razor blade or knife to slice the plastic or rubber tip of the micro-usb connector at an angle on both sides
Alright, so I have been using my regular OTG cable and usb setup for the device and lately I have been thinking of the possibility of somehow attaching my usb to the rear of the device case (with some velcro) so it is not hanging loosely to get pulled out (and impact the port). I have been googling around and at present can only seem to find an OTG cable with either a right angle to the left or right. My question is, is there a rear facing OTG cable with a 90 degree angle to the rear of the device where the cable can be secured in place and the cable naturally bent to the rear to relieve potential pressure to the port and allow for easy velcro-ing ability of the usb/otg usb A section of the cable to the rear of the case.
I presently have a sandisk dual micro OTG usb adaptor which is rather good (however i have seemed to misplaced it) but i can already see a problem with this once i get a half decent case (thinking poetic revolution series).
My last solution will probably involve the use of a right or left angle OTG if i cant seem to find what i am after.
cheers for the help
I know there are mini otg adapters that just fit a microSD card. They are about the size of your thumbnail. The name slipped me.

I actually have one of these and it works well for now that I have nil case (due to there being none available in Australia) but once I get a hold decent case with a cover over the ports I just know the bulk will hit on the case port opening in and prevent the little adaptor from attaching to the device. I'm not to keen on getting a slimline folio type cover and was going to get a poetic case similar to the otterbox

Do you know what they are called? I actually wanted to order it, but I fotgot the name.
this is the exact one i purchased
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28146687...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
works fine for me only a few dollars
for those who have it and used it for long time..
1) is it charging faster/slower/same than regularly charging? (with the same charger of course)
2) is it actually comfortable? after trying it, do you actually use it daily and enjoy or its a gimmick only and you went back to the regular cable?
3) is it causing any damages? bugs? weird stuffs?
I'm Z owner (it doesn't compatible with magnets) and I'm considering to upgrade to z2/3/3c with mainly reason of the magnetic charging..
Some experience sharing would really help me out here.. YouTube is only for unboxing and showing it but no real tips from experienced users..
Thanks.
Bought the official Sony magnetic dock, a Chinese knock off one from Amazon, and a magnetic cable.
The cable is useless, the magnet hardly keeps the connection, and falls off at the slightest knock. That's thrown in my drawer at work.
The Amazon bought dock is decent. Came with two adapters, one for the Z3, one ( I assume) for the Z3 compact. Does the job, charges I would say slightly slower than the mains charger. You can't use a case with it, as its almost exactly the correct width of the phone.
The official Sony dock (DK48) is a little better quality plastic, although you don't get a USB cable with it. It comes with 4 adapters, 2 for the Z3 and 2 for the Z3 compact (for use with or without a case). It's easier to use a case with these adapters, but a chunky case like a Casemate Tough would have no chance of fitting. It seems to charge about the same rate as a normal wall charger would.
I use the docks all the time, and very rarely use the micro USB slot to charge. I have the Amazon dock at work and the Sony one at home.
I'd recommend a dock purely to stop the port flap working loose, like it did on my original Z, plus it stops your phone sliding around your desk!
The only drawback was the price of the Sony dock. It was £20 for a bit of plastic, a micro USB slot and a magnet. The Amazon one was less than half that price, and I got a USB cable with it!

Using Magnetor X cable for a while now. It saves alot of wear and tear on your USB. The magnetic field on phone gets worn a little, but thats it.
Charging time is about the same as regular USB.
Magnet is strong enough. Can be a bit fiddly connecting it and its a bit in the way and prone to get loose.
thank you both! really helpful
Magnetor X 2 adapter is fine for my use. Magnet is strong enough. Can be a fiddle to attach on occasion but usually it's fine. I use it on my desk at work and in the car.
