MHL adapter in back of dock - Galaxy Note II Accessories

SImple question,
if you buy a charging dock can you simply put the MHL adapter in the back into the micro usb port and have it charge/video out at the same time?
clearly the new 11 pin dock for an s3 or n2.
i couldnt see why this wouldnt work but just want to make sure. im planning on a nice little setup via HDMI and bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

The setup you describe worked with my galaxy tab 7" plus but not with my galaxy s3, so I'd be interested in the answer to this aswell

For me, i search the Saint Graal, a charging dock and transfer data with :
- Audio line-out
- HDMI
- USB
- Port SD ...
It's only a dream ???

it will work with Phones that doesn't have the extra pins that Samsung put in the micro USB port in the Note 2/S3 unless that dock has these pins unfortunately it wont work.

^^would the samsung adapter 5-11pin adapter work that you can buy for a few bucks?
i feel this is reasonable since a dock is simply an extension in some plastic.

The official smart dock has:
HDMI
3USB ports (you could plug in an sd card adapter)
3.5mm out
micro usb sync/charge in
cost 64.95 euros i think

that means the note 2's usb port can work as an MHL and USB OTG port at the same time. i hope someone comes up with a portable dongle that does this.

oh wow, thats exactly the type of thing im looking for. thanks!

We have a date, shop and prize ?

Kidigi also do one: http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1418 but it apparently won't sync with a PC, so it's just an MHL dock. Doesn't look like it'll charge the phone well either as it outputs 500mA

Dock point is useless! Charge and OTG can not be carried out simultaneously!

I have made a case charger,use the dock points on N7.But it's useless.Once I plug in the OTG cable,N7 stop charge.
Very disappointed.

Charging
OTGing,not charging
Apparently the kernel [or maybe the charging hardware] disables charging when OTG host mode is enabled. I asked about simultaneous OTG & charging over on Rootzwiki, read this post:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30615-can-you-charge-usb-host-mode-simultaneously/#entry868406
Wow, first of all, nice job. I like what you did with the case mounted extra USB charging port lol.
And second.. damnit thats really dissapointing...
I was hoping to buy the official dock + a USB hub so I could dock the tablet to charge, access external storage, and run on an ethernet connection. Sigh.
I dont see much point in getting the official dock now :|
Why did you ever get your hopes up in the first place? The tablet was never marketed or even designed for that.
The pogo pins are not useless. When pogo pin docks are available they will prevent excessive wear and tear on the charging port.

What do you mean "not the same way"?
However, another user on a different device says he got OTG + charging to work, and that "it should work with any OTG device." Not sure if it will work with the N7, but he hasn't posted the details yet, he says he will soon.
It's probably worth a read, highlight is post #2

Sorry,my English is poor.I'm from China.
The two VCCs is not connected.There are two ways to drive the PMIC to charge the battery.When use the dock points,the battery icon is not displayed 'charging'.

What's wrong with being creative with my nexus?
And I only had those ideas after seeing the threads confirming that Ethernet adapters are compatible.
And I don't know about you but I've never had a usb port wear out on me.
Might still get the dock just cause it looks cleaner though

OTG test,if you can read chinese:http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4836095-1-1.html
@OP
N7 can't provide power to USB peripheral while it's charging. Re-route USB connection through dock, and have dock power both peripheral and N7. See schematic for above-referenced homemade dock for Xperia S (no need for switches to disconnect ground or OTG).
Edit: Add switch to short D+ and D- for faster charging when OTG isn't in use.

OTG cable what works and doesn't work

I purchased some cheap OTG cables a while back off Amazon and don't remember them ever working on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, DroidX, LG Revo, Sero 7 Pro, or Nook Color. I plugged a USB stick into it and it worked great on my G2. Even found a way to record the HD 1080 60fps video directly to USB stick via OTG. Also mouse via hub and memory stick all worked together. No go for USB LAN.

Rohde and Schwarz NRP-Z21 and Z24 power sensors work (when used with an NRP-Z4 USB adaptor cable). Not a very common thing but it sure is convenient if you do need it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think OTG works without USB host mode on the device. Special kernels were always required on the earlier devices to get anything connected via USB and not to a computer to transfer data. From what I've read, the G2 has USB host mode enabled, so all sorts of stuff should plug right in and work. USB LAN might work with kernel tweaks, but that is beyond my somewhat basic knowledge.
There is a great mini micro SD card reader on another thread that would skip the use of OTG cables for simple storage expansion, and has a USB pass-through for plugging in a stick rather than a card. I believe the cost was around $12. That is a fancy set-up you have there, but seems spendy in comparison.

you can try customize USB-On-The-Go (OTG) with charger enable...
a normal USB OTG connected Sense/ID together Ground to work USB OTG only
to enable charger you need 100k ohm resistor connect it between Sense/ID and Ground
.....it should be work....but it's quite mesh up
I attach some picture....(sorry for my english).....

Have a fun with your DIY
Option is to use Sony Ericsson dk10 live dock station, like me, which has no problem charging the phone, and attach a flash drive to dock and thus be used as a network drive even or as you decide. But the price of this dock at the moment is about 25$.
This is just my opinion and my practice.

Have you thried such a cable yourself? I saw some cables with additional power connector on eBay, but the descriptions told nothing about charging the phone. Does a DIY cable really allow the charging of the phone?

What type of connector is this?

I've lost the charging cable for my motorcycle Bluetooth unit and after about 20mins googling to find a new one with no success I thought I'd come and ask you clever chaps to see if you could shed any light !!
It smaller than both a micro and a mini usb, will I be able to buy a replacement or is this some sort or proprietary port? I'll include a pic below for your perusal !!

I had figured out how to see the image...
You just need to copy the image link itself...
As far as the connector... It looks like it's a USB Type C. The cable your trying to use is a Micro USB.
Their very different and I've seen them get confused and even ruined the two.
Good Luck!

I believe I might have that connector stored away. What manufacture is the Bluetooth unit? If you can't find the cable you need with that connector let me know and I'll try to find it. If I have it I'll send it to you.
I m not sure, but it looks similar to the micro hdmi port that my sony Xperia had... Ages ago... Please check it...

That is ether Mini USB B 4pin, and before you dismiss it I know it is not Mini B 5pin that we all know it is not.

Otherwise it is as someone else said and is the same Mini B that is used on Sony Cyber Shot cameras. This is the one I think it is
