I'm going to buy an external battery for peace of mind during the excursions.
I have found this: http://www.battech.co.uk/Device-Bat...ine-External-Laptop-Battery/product_info.html and this: http://www.battech.co.uk/Device-Bat...ini-External-Laptop-Battery/product_info.html
Can I use any external battery which has 5V USB Output? Is it safe for my Kaiser?

Just got my A500. It has a lot of cool ports, including the proprietary charging plug. On other devices it is possible to use the micro USB cable to connect to the PC and to charge the device via a wall charger.
So my question is this. Can I use a micro-usb charger to charge my A500 via the micro-usb slot?
Not on the A500. Takes too much juice to charge the big batteries. You have to charge through the plug .

Has anybody tried this: 1. Setup a powered USB hub plugged into the Micro OTG cable 2. hack the cable from right after the OTG cable to where it plugs into the hub, so that the voltage pins are exposed 3. solder in the voltage pins to a usb connector so you can plug in a normal charger [5V 2A] 4. check to see if you can use the USB hub and charge at the same time
I currently have a Asus transformer TF101 and the primary use is watching clips off a 500GB usb HDD. I really, really want to get a N7 and sell my TF101, but if charging & simultaneous host mode is not possible, I would be slightly hesitant to buy it, because I would be eating up the battery much faster than I would like.
I am using a Seek Thermal imager via the N10's USB OTG port. My battery is old and takes a dive when I use the imager. Roughly only an hour of use before it kills the battery. Obviously the thermal sensor draws power from the n10's battery.
I think I read somewhere that I cannot use the pogo plug to charge while using the otg. Is that correct? That would have been an ideal solution.
Would it be possible to use an external battery (14000mAh USB battery supply) and feed/splice it into the usb otg cable with the imager? What about a 4 port USB hub using the battery and thermal sensor plugged into the otg? Not sure since I don't think it works like a USB host and don't think you can back feed power via USB host port.
Any ideas? Could any of this work? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi.
I'm reading contradicting information regarding MHL for the Note 4.
Can I get HDMI out without external power?
Some adapter say S4 and above can power the adapter (11 pin) without external power other say external USB power is required.
Also I'm not interested in paying $70 for an official Samsung Adapter, I want an ebay special... I just need 720p out but I can supply 5v.
Thanks.
why dont you just get a netgear ptv3000. works great and is completely wireless.
Bcos that's TOTALLY useless for my application.

If you're connecting to a TV, I found out a while ago that it depends on the TV and the adapter.
Some adapters have to have external USB power to work.
Other adapters can be powered directly through the HDMI cable but that depends on if the TV supports that feature, if it doesn't then you have to use the external USB power (You can use a spare USB port on the TV).
I hope this Helps
It's for a mobile solution, Video Transmitter which only accepts HDMI v1.4.
Do you know which MHL adapters don't require external power, or is it a cable/phone thing? I could get external 5v, but then I'd need a BEC or another battery.

The Note 4 has MHL v3; has anyone successfully connected it to an HDMI source without external 5v with an ebay cable? If so which one?
Thanks.
Hi guys one question about powerbank... I have 3 anker and they all have micro USB port to charge the smartphone and i usually charge the powerbank from the normal USB port. Since the s8 has USB-c do i have to buy an adaptor USB-c to micro USB or i can Just use a normal cable USB to USB-c like the One coming with the s8? Thanks!
You can use any cable as long as you end up connecting the USB-C to the S8 and whatever it is the connector for the powebank output.
