1st time posting so excuse errors
I wish to connect my note 9 with tech 21 case into a powered multi port hub and connect to my monitor via hdmi and use samsung dex
i would like to have usb 3 ports also usb 2 if necessary to expand available connections an audio jack for connecting speakers vga connection or another hdmi so i can use 2 moniters
is it possible to plug my ethernet cable into the hub and have a fast wired connection if so how do i set this up
i dont have a laptop i am currently using just a simple adapter at the moment but love dex and want to make this my desktop
i looked at the official dex stations but all the reviews say they are hard to connect with a case on
i have seen some docks on amazon but the usb c cable coming out of the hub says that it is only to charge laptops or other devices
please help it will be sooooo appreciated
thank you

I used this cable to connect my note 8 in its case to the original dex Dock which has Ethernet and 2 USB ports, not sure if they are USB 2 or 3 to be honest as never used them

I was having issues with the stick recognizing a usb ethernet adapter. After rooting, it now recognizes ethernet but only if I connect the adapter directly to the usb port which leaves me no place to plug in a receiver for a remote or keyboard/mouse. I have a USB hub and while the hub works for the remote dongle, ethernet is not recognized if I plug the USB/ethernet adapter into the hub. I'm hoping that the problem is the hub, it is quite old, predates USB 2.0 by a long ways. So I need a recommendation for a hub - any particular one I should use? Powered hub? New power plug for the android stick itself?
Thanks
You must to have powered hub (nice 1A).
I suggest that you can also partly solve the problem using the same configuration that I have: use a Logitech k400 wifi keyboard with integrated trackpad. I attach the wifi unified adapter via an OTG cable using the OTG port.
Frees up the USB port nicely
Thus keyboard also works perfectly with my laptop, nexus 7 and ps3!. It's 40 gbp on the amazon store.

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!
Has anyone else been experiencing problems with ethernet adapters plugged in via micro to USB 2.0 and 3.0? My Note Pro has no issues detecting wired, wireless mice and keyboards. With the ethernet to USB adapters is a whole different story, there is no indication of the ethernet adapter routing data.
I have tried several ethernet adapters, the link state indicators on the ethernet adapters do light up, but once again Android does not give any indication of the connection being established. I have disabled WiFi, and even checked under 'Other Networks' menu on the system settings. Ethernet is listed as an option within the menu, but is disabled and grayed out, with or without the adapter and connection.
The cable has been tested and there are no issues, also I have tested the ethernet adapters with my laptop and my laptop has no issues establishing a connection via the adapter. I have had no luck finding for the solution, some people have reported this issue with other Android devices, but a clear solution is still undefined.
If anyone has a solution, feel free to post your findings.
After all those of us that are having this issue would appreciate a solution.

Here are some of the adapters that I used:
UNITEK USB 3.0
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EHDNAOE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I/O Crest USB 2.0
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M8I0RM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I tested both of these adapters with USB 2.0 & 3.0 micro to USB adapters, both garnered the same result. It is odd that even the USB 2.0 adapter.
does not work either.
This bobj ethernet adapter which I had from Toshiba Thrive days works on tab pro 12.2. I must have used an OTG usb adapter to connect it. All are probably 2.0. Don't have a Note.

I have also been trying to do this - using a generic device from amazon that was advertised ad supporting my galaxy tabs. Greyed outat first, then suddenly worked - for two days. Since then, the ethernet option has been greyed out in settings, and friends have brought laptops which connect fine so i am sure it is not the cable. . Also had been using the charging port with adapter for months before this to use an external keyboard and mouse. Those no longer work either. Much harder to troubleshoot this tablet than any real computer!
Hi,
I'm a new surface User and I'm looking for a dockingstation. I need an Ethernet Port, dvi Port and some USB Ports.
Does anybody have a dockingstation like this with his Surface RT?
Best regards
Sebastian

I don't believe that such a thing exists. There are various items available that can expand your RT's capabilities. For instance, this http://www.amazon.com/Bidul-card-re...d=1396802723&sr=8-5&keywords=surface+rt+ports will add extra USB and SD ports.
You can get MicroHDMI to DVi with this: http://www.amazon.com/Accell-J132B-002B-Type-D-Female-Adapter/dp/B005PHHO5M
I'm not sure about ethernet. I do believe that there is a USB Ethernet adapter that will work, but it needs to use a specific chipset and there is a non-obvious process to get it to work. Searching there forums for wired ethernet should locate the article for you.
Problem on the RT is that the only I/O are an i2c interface (which might aswell be excluded seeming as there is no plug and play way to interface with that), USB2.0 port and the microHDMI. The best you can hope for is to use an HDMI to DVI cable, USB hub and a USB ethernet adaptor.

Since the Surface 2 has USB3, wouldn't a dock or usb hub be more viable?

(see this Post to get the Adapter working with Win 8.1 RT Update 1 >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51919569&postcount=41 )
Mouse and Keyboard are just the usual DELL stuff. Tried different USB Sticks and external HDD; all are working.
Can you link to the DVI adapter again? That one goes to the USB hub too. Cheers.
Hello!
I just bought an MHL Cable for my GS5 (DeLOCK 83296) and I plugged it into the MHL port of my Toshiba Smart TV: apart from start charging the phone, nothing happens.
I also tried plugging the cable to my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but the result is the same.
I tried plugging the cable to other standard HDMI ports, no signal.
Is there anything I have to do to make this work? Is the cable faulty? Could MHL version be a problem?
Thanks for your help!

That MHL cable uses 5 pin MHL. The S3 and newer Galaxy phones use 11 pin MHL cables. You need either a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter, or a different MHL cable.
Ouch!! Could you please mention a cable that is ok for S5?
Thank you!
I've tried this one Aibocn 3321355, but any cable that says it works with the S3/S4/S5 or that has a 11 pin adapter should work.
Isn't it possibile to have only an HDMI connection on the TV side? Is the USB plug mandatory?
As I sadi, my TV has a powered MHL port...
I bought one of these merely for fun and due to cost.
Works perfectly with both S4 and S5.
Plug into hdmi of tv, usb into a plug and other end to phone, comes on soon as power the usb plug.

Looks like if you get a MHL 2.0 or 3.0 adapter, you won't have to connect the adapter to another power source.
The MHL cable has a 5 pin connection, standard on all other phones. You will find the S5 is 11pin so you will need an adaptor 5-11 pin. Easily found on eBay, $2.00
Hope this helps.
