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.

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!

Has anyone found a cheap Micro-HDMI cable yet? I usually buy my cables from Monoprice.com, but they only have mini-HDMI cables, no Micro yet. $30 from Sprint seems rather expensive for something that will soon be about $6 from monoprice.
Just curious if anyone else has found some online yet.
Bummer that the EVO uses Micro USB as well, would have preferred mini usb..oh well.
I emailed monoprice about carrying Type D micro HDMI cables, and they said they'd have them available "soon", so that's what I'm waiting for.

Sweet! That's great news. I'll have to keep an eye out for them to show up in stock. I think I'll pick up a few micro-usb cables at the same time (one for the desk, one next to the bed, and one in the car.)
If you see 'em before I do, share in forums that they're in stock eh?
Thanks!
ive seen them for as low as $13, not a bad price. im waiting to see if they have a video dock similar to the zune hd though.

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini USB to Micro USB adapter for my car charger? I don't want to have to buy another car charger.
i bought a few of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N8JJ04/ref=oss_product
they're pretty great
i chose them over a smaller rigid converter, because these are less likely to break your usb connectors
Check Monoprice.com
I went looking for low-cost adapters while waiting for my phone to ship, and there just didn't seem to be any that were cost-effective.
I wound up buying a brand new car charger for $6 on amazon and a handful of new USB to micro USB cables for less than $2 each on monoprice.
I can't see the economy in spending $5 to make my $4 mini-usb charger compatible with my phone, when a new charger is just $5 anyway. I really hope that monoprice starts selling some ridiculously cheap adapters in the near future.
Thank you very much!
Exactly what I was looking for. Now I need to come up with $25 worth of stuff to get the free shipping.
you can also get them at radio shack or bestbuy.. except at best by you have to buy it with a short cable as well cause that the only way they sell it, at radio shack you can by it by itself
I called Radio Shack, $12.95, ouch and no thank you. I can buy a whole charger for that price at WalMart.
Petronic's point is well taken. Gonna follow the same route too.
Thank you for all of the replies!

These deal seem to be to good to be true. Anyone order from them before?
dealextreme.com is real popular in the GPS hacking world. I have never had any issues. Google them and I think you will find they are well used and received.

Dealextreme got some great price. But shipping take about a few week because of international shipping from china. And customer service is bad. I purchase many thing there. For the price you will pay for a item there is a you how you say, "you get what you pay". Ebay us buyer is the best choice for faster shipping and little pricer item for HTC Evo.

I got a few and they are great. Saved me from tossing out my old cables.
i assume that converting the mini usb to micro usb adapters will work with all the tilt 2 chargers i have. i have a car charger and 3 wall chargers and it would be nice if all i need to to buy a handful of these adapters instead of buying all new chargers...never can enough chargers i say.

I picked a couple adapters. I wanted to use one on a charger and one on a data cable. But when I plug them in, the phone thinks it has been docked and I can't use it as a data cable. Will the one linked above work on a data cable?
http://www.meritline.com/mini-usb-micro-adapter---p-47016.aspx $2.09 shipped.
dealextreme.com is legit. I ordered from there two times.
If you want to have some real fun order there cell phone signal blocker. It works awesome! There is nothing more fun that being in a car with someone talking on their cell phone and a second later they are having their call dropped. F'n hillarious!
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

I just purchased a Motorola Atrix Laptop dock and it should be here in a little over a week. I am curious though, I use an Otterbox Commuter series case... will i be able to use the lapdock without the removal of my case?

I don't have any case with my atrix+lapdock but I know that there is a piece in the lapdock connector that you can remove to allow the connection with a case.

Thank you very much.

Short answer, NO, even with removing the insert, the commuter will not fit. I had to physically modify (read hack) the case to pull the connectors further through the mounting location. The USB connector needs to come out further primarily.
Another option is to try a 5 wire micro usb extender, and a micro hdmi extension.
afaik the only cases which fit into lapdock-holder are mesh-cases (maybe, see other thread) and the incipio feather (which - I can confirm - fits in any other original-motorola dock).
The Motorola ruggedized battery cover also fits nicely.

I would also like to know the outcome of this. I use the commuter case as well.
The Incipio silicrylic case does not fit into the lapdock either. Only the HDMI connection is made, not the power, so the lapdock thinks only entertainment center is an option. I may just go for the rugged battery cover.

This is a better price if you are living overseas! The previous cable was $15 USD with a $35 delivery charge to Australia. This set is now $40 + $5 delivery fee for both cables to Australia!
Which seller offers the best price shipping overseas.
Does anyone know where can i buy this HDMI upgrade kit for cheap ? 45 dolar for 2 pieces of cable is simply raping.

The micro usb is easy, the mini hdmi will require an adapter. The mini hdmi female to mini hdmi female adapter was at the bottom of the page on my search.
Strange that I couldn't find a solution at MonoPrice.com...

I can confirm that these cables work fine with my Rooted Stock Atrix - make sure you take out the extra plastic plate and fits together comfortably. It will be interesting to see if the other Moto phones with the reversed ports (Bionic, Razr, Atrix II etc) will work as well on it as well.. Hopefully they do if I decide to get an upgrade sometime soon.
It is expensive - but at least it works.
So I just bought this case/keyboard combo off amazon today and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? It seemed to get good reviews and I got $30 off for getting a amazon credit card.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Tablet-Charge-Double-Standard/dp/B005EAEQR4/ref=cm_rdp_product
I'm also looking for an extended 30pin to usb extra long sync/charging cable. I was looking at the following one on amazon. It's not OEM, and it seems to not charge as fast as a real Sammy one does, but I suppose thats okay. Is there a place I can buy a OEM extended cable?

The link for your keyboard is the same link as for the cable. Do you like the keyboard you got? I just bought a tab and want to find a good keyboard or keyboard/case combo for it.

I just bought a cheap male / female USB extender cable for less than $2. Yeah, it's a bit kludgey but you can get whatever length you want, more or less and they're sold everywhere online for ridiculously cheap prices.
I'm really disappointed there aren't more 3rd party versions of the Tab's USB cable though. God forbid they use something like PDMI.

I do the same thing. Male to female usb extender, and you can have pretty much any length. Minehas about 6 feet of length, plenty in my opinion.

The Juiced systems cable.
I own one of the Juiced Systems extra long cables and can vouch that the cable charges at about the same speed as the stock cable. Make sure you buy from the Stoned Organics Seller. The other people that are selling cables, i have no idea what kind of crap they may be selling. Good luck.
