I believe it's only the part of the standard USB connecter that slips into the rectangular hole (bottom half of the pic below).

It's definitely not the tapered shape of a micro-usb connector.

Looks good -- probably the most compact solution on the market today. Never bought through Alibaba and Alipay though. Would have preferred purchasing either through Amazon or using Paypal rather than give Alipay my credit card info...
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
That does look pretty good, but I've read quite a few bad things about Alibaba before and I won't give them my CC info. I do think the problems have been with some of the companies that sell through Alibaba rather than Alibaba themselves, but there's no good way to know which are good and which are bad.

If I saw that from a trusted seller, I'd probably get one.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jonstrong:
Payment isn't direct to the seller -- it's conducted through "Alipay", Alibaba's payment transaction system designed to compete with PayPal. They supposedly use an escrow system, whereby Alipay holds the funds until the purchaser confirms receipt of merchandise, as which point they release funds to the seller. Sounds great -- as long as Alipay is trustworthy.

I wouldn't hesitate if I could use PayPal, since I get to approve each and every transaction individually there -- my biggest risk would $8.95. Giving Alipay my credit card credentials is potentially riskier. I can dispute charges I suppose, but I'd feel better if the payment service weren't halfway around the world...

I went ahead and ordered with a Visa Giftcard that I had. It accepted the payment without a problem.

On the receipt. It stated 5 days to process the order and 15-40 days for delivery.

I will post updates.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jonstrong:
That's a great idea -- didn't think of using a gift card. That would totally limit the downside risk to the value of the card. Nice! Looking forward to hearing about your experience when it arrives.

The adapter in your first link is on the way to me as I type this. You've already gotten one? Did it work well?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jonstrong:
I compared a lot of OTG cables and a few "brick" style adapters (solid, no cable) and read a LOT of customer comments (mostly on Amazon) -- seems that a number of the cheap micro USB male connectors on these are longer than the depth of a typical micro USB female (ugh - I can already anticipate the comments!). Anyway - from what I've seen, people who wind up with the longer connector comment that it won't seat as securely. The shorter "standard length" is generally reported to fit completely, and provide a snugger connection. I may have wasted a few dollars by paying for the "short connector" OTG adapters -- but the comments in each case made me think it's probably worth it -- beyond wondering how solid the connection would be with the longer one, I also wondered about the possibility of eventually damaging the receptacle if the connector isn't the right size...
[Nexus 10 Accessories] fireslayer26:
Its on its way, but may take a while coming from China. I'll post here when I receive it.

Ah, ok - we're in the same boat then (from China it would seem). :cool:

When you said that was "your solution" I took it to mean you already had it.

Samsung makes a really low-profile SD-Card reader dongle for the Note 10.1 & Tab 2. Unfortunately, it uses the Samsung proprietary connector (which I prefer to Micro-USB due to its higher amperage = faster charging), but maybe they will start making one for Nexus 10. They have been getting big time into accessories. Here is the nice SD & USB adapters they offer: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PLRBEGSTA

BTW, they carry these at WalMart for dual device users & addicts like me that also have a Note 10.1!

***ALSO, if you register a Samsung device, you will get a 50% off discount code. I used it to pick up a car dock, desk dock & the Media Hub. MediaHub is normally $99 USD, so at 50% off, it is more reasonable a price.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
No - that's much bigger than it needs to be. You left the body of the standard USB connector on there. Needs to be like this:
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
Yes, that works fine but isn't much better than a regular flash drive with a micro-usb adapter. Sticks out too far.

What we really need is a low profile flash drive (like in the attachment below) with a micro-usb connector instead of a standard usb connector. Something that is nothing more than a nub on the side of the tablet when plugged in.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] AndroidLonghorn:
It doesn't work correctly on the Nexus 10. I ordered one from Amazon. It can read the 4 gb flash drive, but I can't get it to read the microsd card with Stickmount or Nexus Media Importer. If you have better luck with it, please let me know. I talked about it in post 8 of this thread. It does work perfectly on my Galaxy S3 with jellybean.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] jonstrong:
Received my "solution" today from Amazon: the tiny microSDHC reader earlier in the thread, and I ordered two different OTG cables to try out; 1 Samsung straight cable, and 1 3rd party right angle cable. BTW:, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the reports on Amazon indicated that some of the cheaper OTG cables had overly long micro USB ends, resulting in the plug not going all the way in and not being especially secure. I spent a few dollars more on the 3rd party OTG cable, and I'm impressed with overall construction (as heavy and seemingly durable as the Samsung OEM cable), as well as having a proper length micro USB plug.

I installed StickMount, put a 32GB SanDisk Ultra microSD card in in the reader, reader into the OTG cables (one at a time of course!), and cable into the N10 -- both appear to be immediately recognized as read/write. I haven't tried any transfers yet so I have no sense of speed, but after worrying that I might find 32GB internal storage limiting it's gratifying to see how easily this works. I'd love to see this whole assembly reduced to a button-sized microUSB plug, but for now, this should do fine. Links to the two cables and to the microSD reader as listed at Amazon below the picture.

That right-angle cable is going to block the headphone jack, if that matters to you. Left-angle cables are out there, but a bit harder to find.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Shane_pcs:
Yep, my first OTB cable blocks the headphone port which kills it for use on the plane. I have reorders a straight cable because I am too unsure of the "left" angle designation online. Ill just use the straight angle for the plane and the normal one for home.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
Here's an example of a left-angled OTG cable that won't block the headphone jack. From China, though.

I got mine in the mail yesterday. Works great using Nexus Media Importer and a 32 gig microsd card!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
Can you post pics with it attached to the nexus 10? I am waiting for mine to be delivered.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] AndroidLonghorn:
No problem. I posted these in the other micro-usb thread as well. I have a close-up, so you can see that it works even with headphones plugged in. There isn't a huge amount of clearance between the two, but they do not touch. My Nexus is in the Poetic Slimbook case, which doesn't interfere at all. I have successfully streamed 720p movies from a 32 gig card using MX Movie player and Nexus Media Importer. So far, everything works great.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
I ordered the above micro usb to microsd card reader from aliexpress.com on December 10 and received it today. It works well with my 32gb sandisk microsd card. The seller, Michael Wang of Topmii, kept me updated of the order and shipment.

Impressions:

It plugs in nicely to the nexus 10 with good resistance to remove it. It snaps in better than my other OTG adapters. Therefore, it won't fall out easily.

Minor Negative: The plug is a mm longer than necessary, so it won't sit flush against the side of the nexus 10. (it's the same for my other OTG adapters)

It is definitely more compact than my other OTG adapters but they could of made it even more slim. I feel that the white plastic case has unnecessary space to accommodate the blue led light and "design flair". I also wished that they made the case longer to better protect the end of the microsd card. The led light also flashes when accessing the microsd card. It is a little distracting when watching a movie off the card.

Below is a picture of the three OTG adapters that I own, from left to right:

1. 32gb SanDisk Cruzer Fit flash drive with OTG adapter

2. 32gb SanDisk MicroSD Card with Micro USB to MicroSD card reader OTG adapter

3. Standard OTG cable
[Nexus 10 Accessories] khal_nayak:
i use this, a smaller micro usb to usb otg adapter which fits perfectly fine with any device and then a sandisk cruzer fit 32gb

the otg adapter is 3.9cm long (end to end including connector) usb side covered so looks and feels good, i got it from ebay
[Nexus 10 Accessories] khal_nayak:
another pic for size comparision
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
Many of us have that one, as well as a right-angled adapter. But if either of those get accidentally bumped against something or dropped while plugged in, it will likely stress the micro-usb jack - possibly to the point of breaking it.

That's why we really want a low-profile micro-usb flash drive that would not need an adapter at all and would be nothing more than a "nub" on the side of the N10. That way, even if bumped, the likelihood of damage is greatly reduced.

There is another thread here by someone who is working on such a flash drive, and we're eagerly awaiting its production.

Hey everyone, I just did a quick search on Amazon, and I found what looks to be a decent micro usb flash drive with a low profile (going up to 32 gb). I can't post the link since I haven't written 10 posts yet, but just search for "Kingston Digital DT Micro USB Flash Drive." Does anyone know anything about this? I'm thinking of getting one myself.

Edit: Nevermind, I took a closer look at the picture, and it looks like a regular usb drive that is just very small. They call it a "Micro USB Flash Drive," but they are just using "micro" to refer to the overall size of the flash drive. It's weird, because the 16gb version is titled "Kingston Digital DT Micro USB Flash Drive," which sounds like what we are looking for, but the 32gb version is called "Kingston Digital DataTraveler Micro 2.0," which sounds more like it's referring to the actual size of the drive. So, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up; it looks like I got a little too excited myself.

It claims to be a card reader, not a flash drive.

Looks like a standard usb gadget, but with some sort of tethered micro-usb connector. Hardly low-profile.

final solution

after I did a good search

No other company than PQI group did it

Either to buy PQI Connect 201 32gb

with dual head: standard usb 2.0 head and a micro usb 2.0 head

m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=151094263214

Or to wait for the release of the PQI Connect 302 64gb

which is better in:

having two screw on caps over the usb heads so giving a water proof protection

the standard usb head is usb 3.0

but the overall design is not as good as connect 201

http://www.pqigroup.com/prod_in.aspx?mnuid=1286&modid=138&prodid=962

I prefere PQI Connect 302 64gb

If anyone know when it will be launched and where to buy it please inform us.

Certainly could, and that's the closest thing I've seen to the device I really want. What I really want is a flash drive (not a card reader) that would be even smaller than that, with a micro-usb connector.

I want one that would be just a "rounded nub" when connected.

I have not found anything better than the Meenova and absolutely love mine. I thought the lack of rounded corners was a negative but that has not been a detriment after using it for a while.

SanDisk makes a flashdrive that will plug into a micro USB and normal USB. Here is a link. Never mind i can't give you a link. Just do a Google search for SanDisk micro USB flash drives.

Anyone know which program, since the JB 4.1.1 updated (AT&T SGH-I747) will allow tethering preferably both wifi and usb. I tried this one and can't get it to work with the Samsung S3 profile selected or the Galaxy Nexus GSM profile selected.

I'm rooted. That app I referenced specifically says you need a rooted phone. I just don't see the SSID come up on my notebook. I want something that can also tether USB too, as then I don't have to worry about locking down security on the Wifi or draining the phone battery.

What are the options if you root it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Been searching for an hour now. Tried two other apps. Neither worked. (Neither said root was necessary). Not willing to pay for Foxfi just to see it not work. Elixir 2 people have used but I think this is all pre Jelly Bean, at least for the GSM (AT&T) version of this phone.

Seems maybe we have to wait. All the apps, videos, posts out there seem to be for ICS. Guess this is the downfall when you update within 24 hours of the update being released. Need to let the developers catch up.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbConst:
Prior to update I was using FoxFi and it looks like it still works with Jelly Bean but I'm unable to get the Proxy Add-On to work since Jelly Bean.

Do you think I'll get caught tethering if I run FoxFi without the Add-On or does the Add-On only provide a false sense of security and is really not making a difference?

If it makes a difference, I'm on one of the old 2GB plans, not the new shared plans, but not unlimited either. Also, I'm stock, not rooted.

Finally, if you don't think this works, any suggestions that would work in this situation?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] svache:
I was on the old 5GB plan (the one that allowed tethering) and switched to the new shared plan (since I don't do that much data but do call a lot and wanted the unlimited calling (saves me over a hundred bucks a month)) and on these plans they do allow tethering. From what I understand, you will need to have a rooted phone if you want to tether under any other (older) plan..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
I guess we should be specific that we are looking for apps that not only work on JB 4.1.1 but also don't require a tethering or shared data plan. So people say an apps works but fail to point out it's because their carrier is okaying the app since they have a qualifying plan. So pdanet works on JB 4.1.1 SGH-I747 without an AT&T tethering or shared data plan?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fmllc:
No...you should have said "I have no clue what im doing so can you please explain every single detail to me?". WTF does a tethering plan have to do with you being able to tether or not if youre rooted? You need to disable to tethering provision via TB!

Not everyone on here has been on an Android phone and screwing with it all their lives. For example, what the heck is "TB" ? Don't assume everyone has as much experience as you, just because they are a participant on XDA. And I should also add on that requirement, NO CUSTOM ROM.

So an appropriate answer might be the following:

If you are on JB 4.1.1 and want to tether without a tethering plan from your carrier, and you are on the STOCK ROM. You need to do this, this, this and this. Or just post a frickin link to someone who DID take the time to explain it for the rest of us. Does your solution require rooting, or doesn't it. STATE IT. So future people when they search the forums, they don't find a bunch of misleading, dead-end solutions and/or bickering.

I just came from iPhone and I was a jailbreaker. I'm loving the S3 and Jelly Bean. But on the iPhone, I'd jailbreak (equivalent of rooting on Android), install MyWiFi, and DONE and DONE. It seems this was how it was on ICS with this phone. Now on JB, not so simple. There's dozens of posts on several threads on several forums around the Internet of people no longer getting their tethering app to work since JB upgrade. These are both rooted and non-rooted, but they are all STOCK JB ROMs.

So please, tell us the trick to get a stock JB 4.1.1 ROM SGH-I747 AT&T to tether without the plan. We are all ears!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Not sure as I've been to busy with my real life outside of XDA to spend hours reading and reading posts.

Bottom line, if there was an app you can just download and install for ICS before that worked, isn't it just a matter of time until someone publishes an app on Google Play (may require rooting, big deal) that does the same without a bunch of workarounds and crap.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fmllc:
Look one post above yours :rolleyes:

Install that zip file via CWM(clockworkmodrecovery)....then download TITANIUM BACKUP (TB...you need the pro version...you can download lucky patcher for that) and go in and freeze the tethering provision app. This will allow you to tether without your carrier knowing...kindof...

P.S. ICS was the same protocol. You have to freeze the tethering provision...

Okay, duh, I found the Tether toggle in Advanced Settings. I also found a couple tether apps that don't require root that actually came up on the network, but I get 'Limited' connectivity indication in Windows with no Internet access.

Now get this, whenever I go into Settings > Advanced > Tether if I toggle it on or off or toggle USB sharing on, I get the message "Settings application has stopped working" Some of the tethering apps also "stop working" when I try to run them even though I see the blue tether notification icon in the status bar and I can see the SSID on the network and connect, but it is as if the phones ability to bridge the wifi hotspot it is providing to the 4G Internet connection is broke.

****. Do I need to load Kies and to a stock firmware restore, or is that not even possible not that I have CW recovery installed. I really really didn't want to get into this Android tweaking Hell and now I'm there. Another wasted frickin weekend! Maybe I'll just go back to iPhone. Hopefully the iOS 6 jailbreak is out now (untethered).
