[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
I may be stuck with my a500 for a while unless someone starts releasing accessories. when I travel my usual set up is as follows. I hook my hdmi cable from the dedicated port on my tablet to the hdmi on the TV. then hook up my Belkin multi usb port to the dedicated full sized usb port on my tablet. then I plug my external hard drive to to one port and my mouse and keyboard into the other. now I can sit back in bed and control my tablet from the bed, surf the net play games and watch movies. I have searched but have not found any adapters that allow usb and hdmi at the same time. I really want the note but use this combination when on the road. any suggestions?

TIA

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
Thank that should solve the Hdmi out issue. now i guess i just need a usb adapter to connect my hard drive, keyboard and mouse. I can use my belking usb 7 port to add more usb connections. I just hope that the note can handle all of those connections without issues. anyone tried hooking up multiple usb ports? I guess this solution adds another 150 tot eh price of my device. the biggest thing i will miss is easy file sharing with a usb stick. When on business trips or even vacation I can get large files by just plugin in my usb stick. seems technology is making things harder for me.

As far as i know, external harddrives need external power to work with the galaxy note, someone correct me if im wrong, think youl find some info here about it, if you've not seen it already

So, you're able to power your external harddrive with the tabs battery and dont have to, like with my adapter, have to connect your harddrive to the mains power? Is that assumption right?

If so, and if its not a bother can you provide info on the adapter you use please mate, im sure others like me would appreciate it i.e. model or product web link
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
no its a misunderstanding. Of course the external hard drive has to be hooked up to wall power. I even had a problem hooking my usb stick directly to my tv's usb without choppy video. When ever and where ever i travel there are always enough outlets to plug in my hard drive and tablet. The only thing that I am waiting on is a good solution to hook up my tablet to the tv's hdmi while having an exteranl hard drive mouse and keyboard attached. the above suggestions may work. After reading the reviews on the wifi hdmi adapter it seems video playback may be a concern. most of the business men i know use a usb stick to take files off their work pc if they need to bring them home or take them on a business or vacation trip. cloud storage isn't always viable because sometimes the files are large and internet connection is not always available and sometimes way to slow. having the full sized USB makes the task a whole lot easier. carrying info in a micro usb card for file transport doesn't work well because it is too easily misplaced. Anyway I am just weighing the positives and negatives and the solutions have been very helpful.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Cheers, was getting my hopes up there

As far as connecting to the tv wirelessly, if the tv in the the hotel you frequent are smart tv (wifi) capable, then you can stream your media over wifi using dlna apps on the market like imediashare, theres a few others, but if you want to mirror everything thats on your tab wirelessly, then it looks like the screencast hub is your solution assuming your ok with the price,.

Maybe a usb to hdmi adapter might work in your situation assuming you have enough usb ports for all you devices, and thats assuming a usb to hdmi adapter would even work on our tab
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Szadzik:
Just use one of the portable wireless HDDs. No more problems iwth connecting it to the Note or any other device as long as it has WiFi.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
looks like wireless is going to be my only real choice. I wanted to stick with wired because there would be no connectivity issues just plug and play. So wifi from my hdd to my tablet and then wifi from my tablet to my tv. hope that works. and Bluetooth for my mouse and keyboard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
In your situation, getting a wifi harddrive with a usb connection, for usb sticks, would solve the usb stick problem, and would be future proof for other devices with wifi, but no usb port, although, im just assuming here, that there is such a thing as a wifi hd with a usb port,. If money is no concern and indeed if there is such a thing as a wifiHD with usb port i mean theres gotta be...... right?), might be worth it, gd luck
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mantrajt:
I also own a a500 and recently bought note 10.1.

I must tell you the difference in performance and screen colors and contrast is pretty big from one to another.

Even though I must say all those add ons to get what we had from default on a500 is kind of dissappointing.

For hdmi you have two ways...the dongle, which is WiFi based....that is if you go to a cabin for a weekend with no WiFi outside your city....it won't work. Or you have the adapter which unfortunately works only if it is also connected to to AC which in my opinion also limits the portable function or idea of a tablet...I mean it is like doing the same connections you can do with your notebook....

So tough choice there, maybe consider as I....having both.

Same thing here with usb otg adapter.

Acer did sacrifice thickness over having standard usb and mini hdmi ports but it really did the trick.

Kind of mad here with Sammy as you may say....good luck and if you find new ways of having less accessories please let me know!!!

Is'nt the screencast dongle a direct to tv connection?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Szadzik:
No USB-in on WiFi HDD, just a normal HDD, no idea what you are talking about.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Was thinking out loud mate

If i were gonna get a wifi hdd, id check for ones with additional benefits, i.e. a usb port (host), so if i have anything on a usb stick, i can connect that to the wifi hdd aand transmit it over wifi via wifi hdd........thing is, i have no idea if there is a wifi hdd product out there that has a host usb port, my brief search showed nothing, would be a nice feature though
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
I've had *terrible* luck trying to connect drives to the Note 10.1... this is probably the single 'failure' the Note has in general.

There are two different problems at work. First, the USB port only sources 100ma. That makes it fine for most keyboards, mice and *some* USB memory sticks (but not all), but forget anything that needs more power. Worse, even devices that ARE self-powered will draw more than 100ma just to drive their USB connection and that trips the Note's 'overcurrent' warning causing it to shut down the USB port.

Weirdly, even if you go through a powered USB hub, you still get this behaviour... that doesn't even make sense.

The bizarre thing is - if you connect in just the right sequence with just the right timing - you sometimes *can* get it to work, so it's not that the Note isn't capable of handling the USB load - Samsung's software is purposefully tripping on devices by enforcing the USB current limit too tightly (well or I have a defective Note or USB dongle - but I've tried several and they all seem to work this way).

The other problem is that there doesn't seem to be integrated support for NTFS (or exFAT, from what I can see), so you're stuck with FAT32. I've switched all my USB keys over to NTFS as I work with large files regularly. It also doesn't seem to support things like USB ethernet dongles.

Ironically, this is one place where the Asus Prime really shines - you can hang almost anything on the USB port and it'll work fine and the dock, because it has a big battery built in, seems to handle heftier devices quite well. It even supports NTFS out of the box.

I think you're confusing WiFi and WAN. If the dongle is WiFi based, you can bring a pocket WiFi access point and connect all your devices to it. Where you are isn't really relevent since it's not connected to the internet through cable, DSL or cellco. These pocket access points are *tiny*.

Here's an example of one:

Looks like I will have to stick with the a500 nd get the small note 2 for stylus use. The a 7 inch note would be perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Szadzik:
I have had no problems with mine, especially with HDD.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
What have you tried hanging on your Samsung and using what USB dongle?

I've tried two dongles (Samsung's official one and a third party one), about a dozen USB keys of varying sizes, a bunch of USB SD/uSD card readers, several cameras (including three Samsung ones - the SH100, the HZ15W and the ST61 - NONE of which worked with the Note, all triggering the 'overpower' warning) and about 10 external drives of varying sizes and vintages from a small IDE based drive to a beefy Zalman VirtualVault with 640GBs in it (in two flavours USB2 and USB3). NONE of them worked, even when put on a hub. I have two pocket handscanners (an 11" and a 6" unit), both self-powered, neither work with the Note.

Conversely, almost all of these work with the Asue Prime.

Again, it could be that I have a defective Note 10.1 - I do have astonishingly bad luck that way. I may take a swing up to Best Buy after work and try hanging some of these off one of the floor models and see if I have the same issues there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
As a previous prime owner i can confirm what Mr warewolf said, the prime was very good with its usb driver support, ........quality control.........not so much

Things that worked, ntfs sticks, external harddrive (prime powered), working usb to ethernet adapter, xbox controller adapter and so on Edit: ive not tested the xbox wireless controller adapter on the note yet, so that may very well work

Im pretty sure all this can be fixed with software, unless theres some hardware limitation im not aware of, would be nice to have all these working, would be even nicer if samsung produced a less flimsy prime like keyboard, with the extra battery, sd, HDMI and usb ports, all in one product specifically designed for the note 10.1 .............can you say...........icing on the cake :good::D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MercuryStar:
There is a hardware limitation. The power provided by the Note's USB port is extremely limited. 500mA at 5v as a minimum is normal for USB ports on computers. The Note puts out max 150mA or so. It is not enough to run more powerful devices like hard drives, even (apparently) if the hard drive also has external power. And interestingly enough, powered hubs don't help. You should however be able to use plain USB keyboards and mice, and most thumb drives.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
If the SG3 can connect all things from in this video, including a TB hardrive, Note should be able to also. It has no issues powering various devices.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Mmm.. could you clarfiy what you mean by 'should' here. I can assure you - it doesn't do it. And apparently, I'm not the only person to have this issue.

Or did you mean 'it should be able to, so it's odd that it can't'? I agree with that... like I noted, if you time it just right, it can support some things it will reject if you just attached regularly... so clearly it *can* handle more than it seems to.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

I think it's possible to make this better by modifiying software. It's entirely likely Samsung is trying to limit people hanging things on the Note that will drain the battery too quickly - but if it's actually hardware limited to 150mA, then there are a LOT of things that won't be able to work. That being said - the fact that they don't seem to work even when connected over a powered USB hub is particularly unnerving... I think Samsung may have introduced a bug in their USB drivers.

And yeah, a Note dock similar to the Transformer one would be pretty cool...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
This^^^

I just recieved my multiport adapter. Has USB, mini USB, SD card, & micro SD card port. Seems like I need to test out the USB ones to see if they work with the things I have. Ex. Camera, keyboard, mouse, USB sticks, phones, etc.. I just assumed these various things would work based on seeing how Many different things worked for SG3. Like you said, very odd. You would think the tablet would be able tl do more. I'd like to believe its mo eof a software issue with some things not working. I DONT see how the SG3 could have hardware that pumps out more juice than a tablet with a larger battery. Then for them not to even work with a powered USB hub is crazy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
The fact that hdd drives are'nt working even when powered is a good sign to me, means theres a posibillity that the software is either not there or actively being limited, if that makes sense, or it could just be my crazy logic.........more likely ive not considered all angles

Saying that, i have a sneaky suspicion MercuryStarmay be right, or partially, considering what TheWerewolf has to say "like I noted, if you time it just right, it can support some things it will reject if you just attached regularly"..........maybe, at least, our tabs have partial hardware support, heres hoping for more
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Szadzik:
1. Have you verified whether your OTG cable/ adapter works on other devices?

2. What hub did you use? I did not use a hub, but a portable battery with high A output and it powered up my HDD and then I connected it to the Note without any issues.

3. USB sticks I tried all worked just fine iwth no external power. NTFS too as I use UMS WAtcher to mount those.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
" NTFS too as I use UMS WAtcher to mount those"

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mano42:
"I've seen some other NTFS support apps as well."

like Paragon NTFS & HFS+ app on Play
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Yep - except as I noted, the Prime supports NTFS out of the box - no need to add software, so the lack of this feature is just that - a lack of a feature. Not a huge one, but still. Hopefully it'll get added in JB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
Does anyone have enough accessories to test out my scenario? basically my Girlfriend does not have usb on her tv but she does have hdmi. with my a500 I attach a powered usb hub to the full sized usb slot. then i attach a mouse and keyboard to one port and my powered hard drive to another port. I attach hdmi form the port on my tab directly to the tv. now i can control my tab from bed, surf the net and watch movies. I know what accessories would make this work but they aren't sold local. so if i buy everything online and test it out to no avail i would have to do a lot of returning.

TIA
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
I'm willing to try this - but I'm not sure this is possible with the Note...

There is no integrated HDMI port on the Note (the A500 has a micro-HDMI port on the tablet itself) - you have to use a dongle which has a pass through - but there isn't enough space to connect the USB dongle to the HDMI dongle... Worse, the HDMI dongle needs power to work. You're supposed to plug a normal sync/charge cable to the HDMI dongle which then plugs into the Note... if you plug in the USB dongle, it won't power up the HDMI dongle.

If someone made a Note 10.1 dock that actually provided HDMI and USB then this would be possible...

Unless I'm not gettting what you're trying to do here...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Allcast dongle, negating the need for hdmi cable, freeing up usb use, even though samsung should provide a standard wifi screencast version too, or at least included extrea ports such as hdmi, instead of forcing YET another dongle on us, not just having a go at samsung, many companies. Why?............. thats a retorical question, i have some ideas
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mano42:
Yeah, I just ad a TF300 before the Note, I loved it, but it was laggy, slow and buggy even with JB.

The Note flies, but I still miss the ease of connecting my usb HDD as on the Asus. (but don1t forget on the asus it makes sense if you buy the dock also), sadly there is no similar dock for the note...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] flexte:
Wifi dangle is needed for the HDMI part. It's also pricey and not locally available that's why I was hoping someone had one so they could test it out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] swingmanx:
I tried to connect Samsung's DVD writer SE218, which was advertised as would work with android tablets. But it doesn't work. So raised with the Samsung's Technical support team in cairo (These guys are bunch of idets!). After about two weeksafterworkd on guy called me back to ask the details all over again.

He thinks (imagining perhaps) that these devices should work together, but didn't want to confirm it. He was just fishing. So I told him off as XXXXX.

It's a shame that Sumsung don't want to invest in quality qualified staff to handle technical question.

Hello guys ,

Greetings from egypt,

For a while i got some very usefull information from this great comunity which helped me alot so i wanted to share my experience with this great tablet after a month of using,

I won't talk about the specificatins which already everyone knows , i'll just tell you how i make everything now (almost) and ditched my laptop .

Of course things get more fun if you get an otg cable

Now i can do the following:

- i can attach keyboard or mose and write word,excell or power point documents using polaris office then i can print it wirelessly or wired using otg cable on any samsung printer.

-using google translate i can translate any word betwean 64 languages and use the pen if i'm writing in english

- scan any document using programs like mdscan

-using samsung email client i can add all my email accounts keep up with my emails

-edit my photos with ps touch (the pen helps alot)

-download all files i need directly or using torrent (adownloader for example)

-draw easily using skitchbookx

-the pen also help in playing angrybirds (someone said that as a joke but it's true)

I know some features are available in other devices and some other important features i didn't mention but this is my experience with my belovednote 10.1 so far

I just received my multiport connector today from amazon. Similar to first pic except mine also has a mini USB port on it and a led light/ring on it. Works very well so far. Transferee data from SD card to tablet very fast and vice versa. I still need to test out the USB host capabilities. I wonder what use would the mini USB port have? Maybe connect other phones to tablet and see them as USB mass storage to transfer files LR something. Those are the only devices that I can think of that have mini USB port. Maybe it can charge that way also. Even if at a slower rate.
