MicroUSB?

Has anyone seen an adapter to MicroUSB? The "kit" Asus sells looks to be full size USB and daisy chaining adapters isn't a great solution.

i believe the kit that's sold connects to the charging port of the device and gives you a full sized usb port.i'll find out tomorrow
edit: kit does work, although when i bought it, there was not mention that it would work.. but it does.

What is it you are trying to do. The connector on the tab is proprietary and the other ends is USB to connect or power. Why do you want micro usb on the other end?

I guess something like Computer USB -> MicroUSB + Adapter for proprietary **** -> Pad would be what OP wants. Makes sense because everyone has a load of MicroUSB cables lying around. I'd want one.

OH you want to turn a standard micro usb cable into an asus cable. Don't think you can

Let us know what you find out - I was wondering the same thing so I can use my old PS2 IBM clicky keyboard with my flashy pad.. :highfive:

The USB kit from Asus offers the same functionality as the USB port on the dock. Why would you connect a micro USB (B) connector to a host (A) connector? The kit/dock is meant for keyboards, mice, card readers etc. Not for charging.

to plug in a keyboard...

Sorry, I didn't have access to a computer yesterday.
I have a few accessories that connect through microUSB (i.e. charger, external speakers, etc. ) that I'd like to connect up to it. All of them use a micro USB connection.
The kit looks like it has full size USB, so If I wanted to us my other stuff I would have to have: Accessory -> micro (f) to full (m) usb adapter -> Asus USB Kit -> Infinity.
That's the problem. I plan on getting the KB dock soon which will be great for the KB (thats the point right ) but when I'm not using the KB, I might want to use the other stuff.

Na na na...I mean a REAL keyboard

[Q] USB OTG not working, is this adapter good?

Hi everyone, I bought this female to female USB adapter http://dx.com/p/usb-female-to-female-adapters-pair-106349 to convert my regular micro USB cable to USB OTG one. Togehter with a tested and working USB-Y cable I connect a flash drive and it only blinks for a second (glows all the time when plugged into computer), then goes out. I tried my charger and laptop as power sources. The phone doesn't show anything, no new stuff in /mnt. Also tried mouse, no good either. The smartphone is HTC Sensation with ARHD 6.8. The kernel should support USB OTG, and there is a video on youtube with working example. Can this adapter be the problem, should I buy a normal USB OTG cable?

This female to female adapter doesn't convert USB cable into OTG. In USB OTG cable also two correct pins must be connected together.
Just buy USB OTG Cable with USB power.

TV dock + controller dock?

Hi there!
Has anyone bought a dock that allows them to stream from the dock to the TV(wired), and used a gamepad (bluetooth connected) to android?
Scenario: go to a hotel, plug phone into dock, connect dock to wall for power, and TV to stream. Connect bluetooth gamepad to galaxy s 5. Play game on TV.
Sorry if I'm not explaining this clearly, I can try a different way.
Thanks!
Different solution: Just use HDMI adapter instead of dock. Specifically one with this code: EE-HN910FWESTA. I can only find it on the Samsung website, and it hasn't had any reviews yet. (Not sure if I should buy)

I bought a dock for the s4 with hdmi and 3 usb ports, as soon as I got the s5 I tried the dock with this device but it doesn't work.
I think the problem is that s5 doesn't have a dock mode

New information is known for this problem?

I have something like

i bought it for my s4 and it also works with my g900f the only problem is that the charging current is low, around 800mA, and at s5 because the charging port cover it cannot be pushed well and it doesn't stay only forced.

Does that dock has usb-otg? The problem seems to appear when trying to use mhl-hdmi and usb otg at the same time.

[Q] which forum for usb hub hardware-mod help? (otg+charging)

Which sub-forum can I ask a question about modifying this hub for OTG+charging ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Ho...-Cable-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S4-/371129011472
I discovered after opening, that it only sends back 1.5 volts to the host, so it sends the 5v to the usb devices only.
Can I simply patch the red positive from the voltage input back the the red positive on the host? I assume they all share the same ground so that would not be necessary, unless the ground itself is being used to limit the voltage somehow.

Okay studying the back, it appears maybe I can just "jump" the positive from the 5+ input directly to the host 5+ since the ground is already shared.
The million dollar question is, what is that little part it is bypassing, capacitor, resistor, transistor?
And is it safe to apply 5v output to the 1.5v it is producing. I am assuming it is just a resistor knocking down the 5v to 1.5v ? What happens if you put 5v on both sides of the resistor?
for google to help find this later, is is a HUB-154A which is popular on ebay on amazon

Modifying HUB 154A to OTG+Charging
Hello,
I look about this because I bought the same for modify it to add charging feature.
The component seems to be a Jfet. The pin connected to the Led is also connected to Gnd.
I connected the hub to an Android device and tested wiring +5V from micro USB connector to +5V from external connected power source.
Nothing destroyed , but charging the Android device does'nt work .
I disconnected the external power supply from hub and the hub from Android device.
By reconnecting the hub to the device, Led will get on after about a half second. The time to know who makes what. So the device delivers +5V power supply to the hub and to the peripherals. In case of big energy-consuming by a peripheral, the external power supply is necessary.

[QUESTION] USB-C cable no ADB connection

I got the original USB-C to USB-C cable for my Kebap on my charger. On the PC with Windows 10 on a very new MSI motherboard I used some cheap USB-C to USB cable for everything regarding my smartphone. Now I felt that the old cheap USB-C cable was a bit too short and got a pretty good looking mesh covered USB-C to USB with 2 meters length. Now I realized that ADB does not work with it. Data transfer is fine on the PC, but ADB just turns on and off the connection all the time looping. I checked with the old cable on the same USB port on the PC, and it works fine. Checked the new cable on some other USB port, not working. For my Trezor hardware wallet the new cable works.
How comes that some cables work, and others don't? I thought as long as they are sold as "data cable" suitable for syncing stuff, all should work?

C to C cable is kind of mess, especially those with E-Mark chip, they can negotiate the communication protocol(USB3/4_GEN1/GEN2 Thunderbolt3/4_20Gbps/40Gbps…) and current with the system or charger.
So different type C to C cable will act different, cable it self can backward compatible, oneplus 8T USB prot is USB3.1 GEN1(USB2.0 compatible), any C to C cable should work fine(I use tunderbolt3 cable do all the stuff).
Oneplus 8T C to C cable connector only has 2 data pin(D+ D-), means is USB2.0 only cable.
In your case, there are two possible situations;
1> New cable is USB3.X or higher(use more pin/core), but the core is low quality or damaged, or the phone/cable connector is dirty or oxidized. try unplug/plug different side several times, or use another cable.
2> Some PCIE GEN 4.0 AMD motherboard/laptop has USB disconnect issues, try set PCIE to GEN3 may solve this problem.
Or, just use USB2.0 only cable, for maximum compatibility….

Thanks for all the info.
Went to the hardware store, and got me some higher quality USB-A to USB-C cable (15$ - more than double the price of the cheap one), and ADB works mow. The eBay seller of the cheap cable with mesh just wrote me, that he will send me another piece. I will test that, and then I will know if it's just lame ass cable quality or some defect.
E-mark Cable info dump? You got a gadget to analyze smartphone cables? Nice.
