[Q] Bought a Galaxy S4 Mini - few questions

It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.

I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Well that really sucks. Oh well, guess I'll stick to using my Tab Plus for that for the time being.

only the samsung hdmi adapter works with the GS4 mini due to a specific protocol since it is not HML enabled. I know... it sucks, but it has other ways to connect to a TV

samsung smart TVs have this almost-like "wifi-direct" connection and you can mirror through wifi the phone's display. like sony has with their phones&TVs. you need to be connected to the same wifi... that's it

[Q] otg flash drive

I'm considering this setup. The price seems very reasonable. I think it should work with the One. Any thoughts?

I believe the micro usb storage/flash drives are just starting to come out. You can skip the OTG all together. Think I saw one posted here not too long ago. Maybe dig a little deeper.
And another option http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...not-discriminate-between-pcs-and-smartphones/

Yeah I did do some digging and initially looked at the micro flash drives. The option you mentioned is $30 for 32gb whereas my option for 64gb only $10 more and would be about the same size dimensionally. Thanks for the insight though.

I found these on eBay earlier today:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MicroSD-Card-Reader-with-Mini-USB-Sync-Cable-/220584799910
I haven't ordered yet but I like them better than the other micro USB microSD card readers I've found because they are really small and have a lanyard. You can attach it to your keys or add it to a dust plug like a cell phone charm. The listing has other HTC models, so I assume it works with the One.

Nice find. But 64gb setup would be $60, I want cheapest/functional (I'm at $40).

You can buy a 64 GB microSD card for about $15 - $20. Add $10 for the adapter and you'd still come out ahead. Plus it apparently works as a sync/charging cable (though a very, very short one).
The listing says 8GB max, but that might have been the largest size available when they were made. I went ahead and made an offer to the seller, so if anyone is interested I'll report back whether it works with higher-capacity cards.

Doh, I just realized the reader has a MINI USB connector. Won't work for the One. However, I did find something similar with the correct port (and cheaper) for anyone else who may be interested in pursuing this route.

$12, I'm sold!

Ordered one myself! Can't beat the price, we'll find out how the quality is when it gets here.

Thy have sent pictures to the backers that would indicate they are very concerned about quality. They have delayed the project a few months, but it's getting close to completion.

Finally came in today. Looks and works well.

I assume it works fine as well?

128GB OTG MicroUSB Drive

I found this when I was searching for a low profile flash drive to use with my new Nexus 7. I typically use network shares at home, and I have an OTG adapter with a 128GB SanDisk Cruiser Glide I can take on trips. Still, I would pay a hundred bucks for something like the item pictured. I would probably only remove it to charge the device.

Where do they sell this?

Where was this bought? I looked on ebay and amazon and found nothing.

Probably a fake / photoshop product, not on Sandisk website, but I'm sure it get made soon enough its a brilliant idea.

hey what filesystem do you use?

nice the smaller the better! id rather have a 64gb version for like 50bucks!

I've yet to hear of Sandisk making one, but do a Google search for "micro USB flash drive" and you'll find a few links to new stories. (As a new member, I can't post links yet.) I'm not sure about the speed of Sony's new drive, and I think I'd rather buy a Meenova and high-speed microSD card. There's another from "Brando online store," but that's a full-size drive with regular USB on one end, micro USB on the other. Too large for my taste.

So here is a device that is closer to the OP in this thread, on sale exclusively at Radio Shack next month, allegedly. Not 128g, but closer to the concept.

just bought the Meenova & looking forward to using it, thanks for the info. :good:

Any file manager should work with the Meenova. It installs under /sdcard/usbstorage/ like any other flash drive, making it easy to play videos off the microSD card.

yes i'm using the Nexus Media Importer $3.99...works fine with video using MX Player....have not tried transferring files...just video & music...64GB MSD card works..
this item arrived within a few days to the southern USA, it comes with a lanyard key attachment and a USB to Micro adapter for use on your PC...the cap fits very securely and the item works with the case on my Tab.
seems like a nice little quality device for the price...i'm satisfied.

I've got the meenova and I have to say it works better than I expected it would. I mainly use it for watching movies/TV shows and backing up data. It works wonders for both my N5 and N7 together with StickMount and mount.exfat-fuse.
With my 64GB class 10 SanDisk microSD card I get 23MB/s reads and 11MB/s writes.

Where to get MHL cable?

Hi guys,
Where to get MHL cable for Nexus 7 in Europe? Where I look, all cables for Samsung devices. Maybe these cables work with Nexus 7 too?

No, MHL will not work. You need a slimport adapter. I got mine off of amazon.com.

Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?

Been trying to get the damn OTG thing to work, but no luck. After a lot of searching around XDA forums, among other places, came to the realisation that only the official OnePlus MicroUSB to Type-C adapter supports OTG. Too bad they don't sell them anymore and I can't find any elsewhere online.
They do sell a newer version for the OP3 on their online store and I was wondering if that would work too. I ask because I've already got a thousand cables and adapters I've tried that didn't work, so I don't wanna drop any more cash on this.
Tried to contact OP support and they didn't really seem to understand what I wanted and just said it would work "because it's USB Type-C". Yeah, so were all the other damn cables I bought.
TL;DR: Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?
UPDATE: Original Xiaomi USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter works.

Hi!
My bro had a 1+2, he bought an USB cable Type-C OTH from OnePlus store... he had tried to connect an USB several times, but it doesn't work :'(

OK awesome, so basically stay the f*** away from OP in the future is the lesson here.

Hi there, in my fourth purchase of OTG have purchased a fully compatabile one for my OP2. I am finally able to connect with out any issues. I have purchased it from Indian ebay for ₹68/- only. But works like a champ. The model or company name is MX in caps written on the OTG which is black in colour.

usb otg
When i bought my OnePlus 2 i purchased the microusb otg cable and the microusb to type c adapter and have no issues with it working. it could be a a possible compatibility issue or maybe the rom you're on doesn't support otg.

Hello. I'm from India too. I'm not finding any product branded as MX. I would really appreciate if you can share the link form where you bought it.
Thanks in advance
