that hdmi to usb adapter serves the zenfone 2 ? thanks for everything
If ur looking for a USB cable to HDMI, look up MHL cable. I'm however not sure if he zenfone 2 can use a passive or powered MHL. Since I'm unsure I would suggest a powered MHL cable.

Would love for someone who has a powered cable to test....a number say passive doesn't work.
By Asus MHL is not supported,I have powered MHL cable,but not working
This is where Asus cut corners, no MHL for the ZF2.

Ive since moved on from the atrix but kept the lapdock to see if i can use it for a hdmi monitor and charger. I now have the galaxy nexus and wanted try and use the lapdock with it. Im going to order the MHL adapter for the galaxy nexus to connect to the lapdock's hdmi with a female micro hdmi adapter. Ive read that the lapdock can receive HDMI input from other sources besides the atrix but will the lapdock accept HDMI source from a MHL adapter. Another problem is that in order for the Samsung MHL adapter to work it needs to be plugged in to a micro usb power source. I need to be able to use the micro usb from the lapdock if i want this set up to be portable.
i bought a micro usb extension and tried that but it doesnt charge galaxy nexus or Optimus P500. Unfortunately i sold my atrix before i got the cable so i cant test it with that but the micro usb extension charges all my phones fine when plugged into an AC adapter. So is it possible to mod the lapdock or micro hdmi cable to charge my other phones?
I can't speak for different phones made by different manufacturers (samsung, etc), but the atrix lapdock can be modified to work with other motorola weptop enabled phones. I am typing this on an atrix lapdock plugged into my Droid 4. I had to modify it when i bought it in order for it to work, but it was a simple 10 min job and it has been working well!
All I had to do was unscrew the cover of the hdmi/microusb ports, and flip over the connectors that were upside down for my use, and put it back together. A bit of shaving the plastic in the corners was necessary, but was not difficult. I am a happy user since this keyboard is a bit larger than the lapdock 100, and it was cheaper on craigslist than a lapdock 100.
Now I just need to see if anybody has managed to find any happy ways to hack/modify the atrix lapdock for greater functionality, like multitouch or scroll areas. If you have happened to see someone getting this to work, please do tell!

no need to mod!!! there are two powered usb ports on the back of the unit. when it senses hdmi, it turns on the usb ports and you can charge or power your usb device assuming 500ma is enough. not sure what it outputs, but it does charge a phone.
Where i can buy the lapdock charger?

USB 2.0 = 500mA max.

Hopefully somebody who has htis can shed some light on it.
If you're using MHL hdmi out, the unused micro USB port on the adapter needs to be fed power, correct?
So does that mean that if you're outputting via HDMI that you cannot utilize the USB OTG? Or will you have to use a powered hub to simultaneously drive the HDMI output and the USB OTG peripherals?
I don't think it will work like that. I tried plugging my OTG cable with a powered usb hub into the micro USB port on my MHL adapter. Even without an HDMI cable connected my phone would not detect my wireless mouse and keyboard.
Are you using the official mhl adapter?

Weird, the whole point of Samsung going with the 11 pin was to enable USB OTG. Maybe it doesn't work with the adapter?
I guess I'll find out, the official adapter is in the mail, should be here Thurs.
Of course it wouldn't work with the adapter and an older cable. The adapter is only rearranging a 5pin power cable and hdmi to match the 11pin in the phone. 6 pins in the phone are still not used.
If I remember ill try it with the official S3 adapter later.

i also really want to know if the samsung 11 pin (not adapter) will work with a powered USB hub and OTG ..
I think I saw somewhere that the adapter for the s2 and s3 are different. Don't know much just wanted to throw my 2 cents in

I was wondering if this would work so I won't have to buy a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and just use a USB combo with a powered hub instead:
Official MHL adapter -> hdmi to monitor

>OTG cable> Powered USB hub> USB keyboard/mouse.

Hi Guys,
Is there any direct cable which directly connects our SGS3 to TV...basically a combination of MHL Adapter and HDMI Cable !!

Not unless you get the MHL adapter tip and use one of those cables with it.
If you have an mhl enabled tv it will work, because that one gives power.

It you have an MHL enabled tv then you don't need an adapter but just a cable like this instead

Is hdmi out supported on this phone with the HML adapter?
You mean MHL?
No. Neither is USB OTG
I've read that this will work though a little tricky on rooted devices:

A tad expensive but you won't need a cable

Not exactly MHL but Ok
Just a quick question, can I use an MHL adapter and a USB stick at the same time?
With a Y cable like this one: (http://originus.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00023991/24159/) So instead of adding the power, I'll use a OTG with a USB stick.
Thanks in advance!
GN 3 Requires MHL 2.0, different interface

I have used a usb hub with the mhl 2 adaptor and a wireless mouse so there should be no problem using a usb stick as well.
