I bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 at BestbuyCanada but they do not have the adpater for USB drives in stock or even listed as they do in the US. I have searched and searched but can find no stores in Canada that sell this. I can buy through ebay but looks like its about 3X the price.
Have any Canadians out there purchased one and if so, where did you get it? Maybe my best bet is to wait until they come here?
Thanks!
micro sd/mmc card/usb adaptors
Hi, considering sgt 10.1 have no micro sd/mmc and usb ports, might consider these adaptors approved by sammy. Around usd50 for both i.e rm150 plus. Found in kl malaysia, but ebay price is sky high.TQ

Might have no choice but to wait. Many of the ones being advertised on ebay are the 'duo' kits with sdcard and usb adapters, but nobody is going to have stock until the middle of September according to their auction listings. Accessories seem to be slowly trickling into local stores, well at least the cases and hdmi adapters at staples now. I don't like the idea of adapters hanging off the bottom of the unit because it makes it impossible to stand the unit up in pretty much any folio type case. You could mount the tablet upside down in the book case, but then some apps which default to landscape only display one particular way.

So I had a TP2 before this, which used USB Mini. So, I have all these accessories from that still, and adapters would be great.
But, radioshack and all those places want as much for the damn adapter as they do for a new charger...
Is there a place to get like 5 adapters for cheap? China style maybe? lol

Get it from eBay
http://compare.ebay.com/like/290464...er+converter+2&geo_id=1&adgroup_id=2302816170
I have one, it barely fits the Captivate. I had to shave off a little off the back of the adapter so it can be inserted more into the phone. Without doing so, the plug would just come off. Now it fits perfectly.
I just bought a single one of those over the weekend for $2.50 shipped, glad to hear they work albeit with a little modification.

did you know EBAY works just like GOOGLE. you type something, it shows you that thing!...
Most of you who want one have probably already picked one up, but if you still need one and don't want to wait a couple weeks for one from China, I found this listing on eBay for a nice angled adapter within the US for $8.95.
I actually already had a regular straight adapter, but it sticks way out and has a nasty habit of getting in the way or jabbing me in the stomach when I have it connected. The angled adapter runs along the side of the tablet and makes it much nicer to use. I ordered this one Thursday afternoon and it already arrived this morning!
I thought I'd point this out in case anyone wants to get one without having to wait. I ordered my first cable from China, but when I decided to replace that with an angled cable I decided an extra couple bucks was worth a two day rather than two week ship time.
Update: The price of the cable on that listing actually went down, so it's now just $6.95!
Thanks for the info. I ordered mine today.
Yeah, me, too. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm just glad to hear I was finally able to be helpful on this forum. I usually just lurk around the development sections for my various devices, but I don't know enough to contribute very much.
I was really glad to find this listing as I've had a few too many bad experiences with items shipped from Hong Kong either not arriving or taking way too long. Most of the sites or eBay listings that have OTG cables within the US are way too expensive and don't have these nice short, angled cables that don't get in the way when you're trying to use the tablet. I figured there had to be a few other people on here who would be interested in getting a nice cable without dealing with overseas sellers.
For anyone who's curious and can't tell from the picture on the listing, the micro USB connector comes out of the port with a 90 degree left angle and then there's a few inches of cable that run parallel to the tablet and terminate with a standard USB port. It's definitely a lot easier to use than one of the normal straight cables, and so far it's handled everything I've tried connecting, including a couple wireless mouse/keyboard sets, standard USB mice/keyboards, and a flash drive.
Let me know how you two like yours!
This one is cheaper by $2.

Should be the same thing.
Yeah, there's definitely slightly cheaper adapters available, but, like most of those listed on eBay, that one ships from China. The one I pointed out was the lowest price I found for an angled adapter that actually shipped from within the US, to avoid the usual waiting period for items to ship from Asia. I tend to get impatient when waiting for new gadgets to arrive...
Thanks, I ordered mine and patiently waiting.
Do I need rooting???
Hi Guys, Do I need rooting to use these kind of adapters to connect my external hard desk to the xoom?
Hi,
The cheapest adapter i found was this
ebay.com/itm/Angled-Micro-USB-Host-Cable-70-101-MID-OTG-/280714077332?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item415bdce494
Price: $2.68
Shipping: free
I ordered 2 cuz u never know where u leave them.
The original eBay link was getting a bit stale, so I went ahead and updated my OP to include an updated link to the relisted item. Enjoy!
Hi guys
I seen these cables as cheap as 5.00 up to 30.00 and up for this adapter
So did anyone try the cheap ones and do they work just as good as the Samsung adapters???
I find no difference. I bought dealerextreme.
Sorry for my english.
no problem thx
It's a standard connection type, so they should all be the same (although manufacturing quality may not be the same on some of those cheaper ones I guess).
i bought one at monoprice and the screen constantly flickers from the note. ive heard others say the same thing and that the official samsung mhl adapter does not do this. any truth to this?
I have a few HTC chargers at home and a car charger none of them work on the note.so even though the port may look the same there seem to be some differences.the same might apply for MHL cables as well.
On ebay there are some cheap adapters which described as "genuine" (search f.e for item 120834740772). Is it really genuine Samsung?
Has anyone bought and tried it?
I bought this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/samsun...-galaxy-s2-i9100-i9188-i9000-more-black-95031
Works fine for me.

chargers are a different entity, they will give a specific amount of current out so i wouldnt expect the mto charge other devices

Don't buy those. They are very bad quality, USB connector broken off. They are either Samsung QA failed item or knock off. The seller trying to trick you into believing it's OEM with packaging. Stay away.

Yes, I also thought there's something wrong there.
Too much to be be truth.
I got a cheap one and the screen does flicker to white noise, for a couple of milliseconds every now and then, so basically works perfect.
I bought a $10 one from amazon (ASIN: B005SV08SK) and it seems to work good. It came with an extra usb cable to power it too.
I'm glad I sold mine that came with the 4 infuses on Ebay back when we bought them. They were going for big bucks and I made out like a bandit

Hey guys....I was looking for an adapter or cables to be able to use my Ballistic case and dock at the same time and couldn't find anything. I saw on here the other day someone was also asking the same thing. But anyway I found a place called all4cellular and they have a upgrade cable kit for the docks that allow this. So now I can have any case I want and dock without having to remove the phone. Just thought I'd share what I just ordered.
Interesting. Some links to the product page(s) at all4celluar would be handy.
There's a link in another thread with these cables. They are charging $40 for them. IMO that's daylight robbery. They upped the price when they found they had a market for them. Can't link the thread atm, but its in accessories forum.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I paid 29 bucks....that is probably market for hdmi and a usb cable.
i would like to see companys figure out that yes we use cases and docks.
I found the product. It's way too expensive for a couple of wires, but here's the link:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/motorola-atrix-4g-upgrade-kit.html
Could these cables be used to connect 4g lapdock to a RAZR?
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Worth a try. I am just waiting for price drop or cheaper alternative to come up.

I was going to mention that there might be interest in these for those trying to connect the Atrix to the Lapdock 500. They've been looking for a cable set that would work.
I've also bought this two cables on e-bay from all4cellular (it was cheeper delivery from e-bay to Ukraine).
Both cables fit perfectly! They are 15cm. long. The problem of my large case was solved!
Does the USB OTG cable work with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ ?
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using xda app-developers app
It does.
If you are looking to mount a USB stick, you will need to have root and an app called stickmount. Other wise, you can plug in a keyboard or mouse, which does not requires root but you will need to be on 4.0.3 and above.
Pressed from my Maguro
Do i need to get a specific type/brand or can I just pull any cable off ebay? Like: are all OTG cables the same?

I just bought one USB OTG (micro-USB - USB-A-slot) from Amazon, no brand, certainly made in China, but it just works. Probably like you say, all OTG cables are the same. My advice if you want to just expand your memory, buy a very small USB "plug" stick like this one: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8/ I only have the 8 GB model, slow data transfer, but small plug. Fits in every pocket.
I hope I could help you.

Thats a great deal. $15 for a 32GB tiny usb card.
I just wish I knew why amazon.com and .ca had such drastic price differences. Its $35 on amazon.ca and our dollar is basically the same. Not fair at all.
BTW this also worked for me with no root with 4GB and 8GB flash stick on stock 4.1.1 !!!

Hi Pepper67, that price is a great deal. I understand your frustration regarding price differences. I'm British, but I live in Italy, I often use the amazon.co.uk site for research and checking user reviews because my Italian isn't brilliant. When I check the same goods on amazon.it they are normally higher. Sometimes by as much as 50%.
But the food and the weather here in Italy are way better than the UK.
You may pay more in Canada for some goods, but correct me if I'm wrong. Don't you guys have a public health care system? Unlike the US which is primarily private insurance based. Which is more important, health care, or saving a few bucks on Amazon? Just a thought.
Have fun. Anil
