I'm thinking of getting a HDMI-out cable for the Nexus 4, which I believe is called a Slimport adaptor.? I've looked online and only found one on Amazon which was quite pricey. There were a few others called 'Micro USB MHL to HDMI' which at first glance appear to be the same - one Micro USB side, one HDMI side. Are these the same thing, and should they work?
I'm in the UK, so if anyone spots anything suitable please let me know.
Have a search. Theres about 4 threads looking at slimport, mhl, or comparing the two.
Thanks. I found one topic but it was inconclusive.

Just wanted to make a quick review since i didn't find one in the whole forum and on google, about the official samsung dock, paired with our beloved Nexus 4, in the past few days i took the time to inspect the Nexus 4 size VS the official dock size and came to the conclusion that it would fit, so i bought it, a few days later BOOM new dock and when i tried my theory... well it worked like a charm =) it fits perfectly and look great Just take a look it fits perfectly, charging is as fast as directly connected, i will keep updating this thread with more details, right not i don't have a 3.5 mm AUX cable to test it, but it's a complete "GO" to the people thinking of getting one, thanks for reading folks.
What Samsung model is that dock made for?
Looks like the universal Samsung dock.

Okay we really need to know about the audio out function, because otherwise this is nothing more than a glorified usb cable. Can't you just test it with headphones?
Yes please test axillary function

You must of died.
But anyways. I own this dock as my girlfriend uses it with her S2.
-Aux port does not do anything with the Nexus 4.
-Daydreams do not turn on either (unless set to activate while charging as well)
This dock is just a fancy wall charger for the N4.

How much was that dock? I use a official Samsung dock as well but its a different one then yours. I paid 11 bucks I believe.

+1.
I'm too lazy to do it myself, but I would gladly buy something w/32 or 64GB of storage. I am running out of my 16GB space already, and I do think the lack of the SD/SDXC spot is Nexus 4 biggest disadvantage.
holy.. I wouldnt have the patience for that...
We don't have USB OTG (without a power source and modified kernel anyway) so this is useless to us
Not that it would work with the N4 as per above but worth checking out.. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta
Just received my kickstarter backed project, microSD Card reader. Project cost me about $12
Www.meenova.com
This adapter allows you to plug an sdcard into your phone microSD port and transfer/read files.
I have to say this thing came out really nice, the blue light was a nice touch. So far its worked on everything I've plugged it into (galaxy nexus, nexus 7, Gs4, RAZR M)
Package contained:
MicroSD to microUSB reader
MicroUSB to USB adapter for PC
Keychain clip
Here are some pictures for you guys

They are only 3 months behind from eta that's pretty good lol there is a kickstarter project that I'm waiting to deliver since October 12 lol.
But this looks pretty cool might have to order one :u

Yeah they had a problem with quality of the first few samples, and then some machine broke at the mold factory so not entirely their fault for the delay.

Got mine yesterday! It looks pretty damn awesome though I haven't tried it yet... I was planning on using it exclusively for my Nexus 10 but since it has a keyring I can carry it around with me so that's pretty cool. :good::laugh:
Just grab an otg cable and a flashdrive?

Very cool idea..but shouldnt the key ring be on the cap side? I mean, you want your keys dangling from that plug into your phone? Or do you want to take this off your ring when you need it?

This OTG microSD card reader is small in size and looks nice but OTG cable is quite long and big

I didn't take a photo of the clip that attaches to your keyring, its a quick disconnect clip so you don't actually dangle your keys from your phone .

I got the orange one the other day. This thing is pretty awesome! Kinda wish I had gotten the black one, the status light shows through the orange.

As long as you have otg support, which I think you need to be rooted for on the nexus 4, but don't quote me.

Nice one, cheers for posting this, ordered one mainly to use with nexus 7 but this could be great at transfering stuff quickly to my S4 and the advantage of being small and unobtrusive like an otg cable and flash drive.
This could really change my mind about getting the upcoming nexus 5.Although i think they're great phones I thought i'd never get one because of the poor storage and no sd slot but as the extra space i need would be for music files i would only need to plug it in when listening. rest of the time it would be on my keys.
My only concern is how secure and safe from knocks the sd card is when inside the reader and inside my pocket. I'm pretty forceful when dry humping bins and bollards when waitnig for buses. Can anyone comment on this? (The sd card safety not my dry humping?)

Nice.... full sized usb adaptor included too. Looks like this will be my new one for all flash drive
I'm disappointed there's no IR sensor on our phone, cause I could really use it for my TV not having a remote. I don't want a universal remote either. Is there any IR sensor I could buy and attach thru the charger port or connect to my USB OTG? And just like port the Galaxy S4 WatchON app to my phone?

You knew the phone didn't have one when you bought it. If it was that big of a deal why did you get it? Also good dude. I Googled headphone jack ir blaster for android and got several thousand results.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So, you'd rather have an IR blaster sticking out of the top of your phone, than buy a universal remote? You could probably find a factory replacement for your TV.

Wow, you two for so helpful!!! If you weren't going to offer up solutions, why respond to the thread? And "I found several thousand results"...how about you link one?
Anyway OP...check this one out. www.irdroid.com
uhh they did offer solutions... 1. use google! 2. buy a remote instead.... i'll even give you a 3rd one... get an htc one, perhaps a play edition if you like vanillla android.

Are you dense Sparky? I did offer a solution. Op said he didn't want a universal remote. I was letting him/her know they could probably easily buy a factory replacement. Learn to read Slick.

Sparky? Slick? Oh aren't you clever. He asked specifically for something for his phone.

Sure am. I gave my suggestion. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards. You don't like it then move on. No need to call anyone out. Especially when they're actually trying to help.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to cause all this. I didn't know what to Google. I looked up add on ir for android and it didn't really help. And I didn't know it didn't have one when I bought it.
