I understand how to use a micro. B USB to USB2.0 cable to a USB conector to a USB to ethernet adapter. I can figure out how to plug it together. Question is, will ethernet actually work via the micro USB port (are all the right things there on the Xoom side of the port)?
cant imagine it would work with some kind of drivers.
Does anyone know if I purchased one of these can the Transformer then read memory cards or use other USB peripherals?
no one has tried yet, try it for us and find out!
I would if I had the tablet. If it does it would be a major plus.
Well we know for a fact that the 40 pin connector that is used to hook up the tablet to PC and charger through USB allows for USB host, we just don't know if it would be so simple that all we have to do is use a female to female converter.
I would think that it would work, because that's how you transfer files to the tablet. Not sure about peripherals though. If this does work it would easily make this better then any tablet.
if I can get myself to put down the money and if someone posts a link I'll try it.

I meant usb female to USB female since I don't have anything with microUSB just wanna test host.
Just bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BSN4UY female to female adapter, I'll test USB host I guess
The tablet only has a micro, so I guess I don't understand why you would buy that item.

The tablet doesn't have a micro port, it has a proprietary 40 pin to USB male cable with a proprietary 40 pin socket. So you need atleast reg female to reg female to get host at the minimum.
Never mind just figured it out. You are going to use the micro usb cable that can with the tablet and hook up the female to female. Sorry.
I thought the tablet did have a micro usb host?
only ports are the proprietary connector used for hooking it up to the PC/charger/dock and mini HDMI out. But the proprietary connector supports USB host.
So today I was looking around at my USB accessories and I came across my USB 3.0 hdd. It has a USB 3.0 micro female adapter and cord but then I realised that the USB 2.0 micro cable looked like it would fit so I disconnected the hdd from power and everything, unplugged the USB micro cord and checked. To my surprise it fit but there was still the problem of extra pins next to it not connected. To make a long story short I was wondering that if I hooked everything up would I encounter driver issues or drive failures or would it just flat out not work?

Hello all. Planning to get a MHL 2.0 cable for my note 3 but I also want to hook up a keyboard and mouse. I have a logitech k/b that uses wireless signal via a USB dongle. I figured the OTG cable would suffice but naturally once the MHL cable is in, there is no way to also use the OTG cable. Curious if there is some sort of hub that allows at least 1x micro usb and 1x full size usb, or some sort of splitter? I realize a bluetooth keyboard and mouse is probably another solution but would prefer to avoid if I could.
Thanks!
Hi!
i am trying to figure out if there might be a way to solder a USB hub to the jeyboard dock. I can plug it into the existing USB port but, honestly, it's not so fun.
The SD slot is connected to the USB bus, actually it's on the internal hub. Has anybody ever tried to unsolder it and solder an USB hub?
