[Q] HDMI connector for Acer A500 - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,does anyone know where I can get the micro HDMI cable for the A500 in the UK? I've been to stores such as maplin,PC World but the one I was shown seem to be a general micro hdmi cable which didn't fit the port. I think the Acer's version is a custom made.

Hi,
Try www dot dealextreme dot com
I use it regularly and ordered my MicroHDMI -> HDMI cable there a few weeks ago. Was delivered within 10 days. No shipping costs.
You are looking for SKU 44464 at the staggering price of $ 5.63
EDIT: No it is not custom Acer but "standard" microHDMI. Cable fits perfect in the Acer. Don't worry

Cheers for that clarification and the site. Will give it a go

The best cord site out there

I went to a few shops here in Nl and some did not know the difference between mini (type c) and micro (type d). We need the type d for the acer, so be sure to look on the packgage. I found one at mediamarkt here in netherlands.
It is standard btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

Checkout the 'Dork Kit' on Amazon, its very good at a very good price.
You get a travel case 'Hard Shell' to protect your Acer an HDMI cable, USB cable and a key chain(???)
The price is VERY good, and worth the wait. Im very happy with it.

I bought one adapter from a UK eBay seller. It works fine! It is more expensive, but waiting for it from China is about 20 days.

Damn - I have heaps of these things - they come with every video card I've ever bought!

i bought from ebay for ony 4$ and working great!!
but the delivery time is 3 weeks

I found my cable at Best Buy in the US. The funny thing is, it was not in the computer section, it was in the camera section. So, you might try some of the stores in your area and checkout the camera section. A lot of video cameras do HiDef output and have a micro HDMI port.

The same generic adapter cord I bought for my HTC Evo 4G on eBay works on the A500 like a peach...it actually works better on the A500, but the HDMI out function on the Evo has always been quirky. You have to be a little careful, because not all generic adapterncords are created equal, but just look on UK eBay for a seller with good feedback and you should be fine.

I second this -- always had good luck with these guys. I've bought dozens of cheap gadgets and accessories from them over the years. I don't know about shipping to the UK, but it only takes 5-7 days to get to the east coast of Florida in USA.

I bought a 15ft micro hdmi cable from monoprice dot com for less than $12 here in the US including shipping. I believe they ship to the UK. Great website. I buy all my cables from these guys. They sell various lengths, just do a search for micro hdmi.

Was just going to say ynnek63 beat me to it...Monoprice sells them in many lengths..I got the same one he did the 15' with Ferrite core and cost me $12 to Canada...great deal.

tried hdmi + hdmi adapter, not working, why? when trying to connect to tv this way - no signal.

I got a 10 foot cable from newegg. Don't remember how much it was, but it works great.

Got to go with you guys on this, been a customer of MonoPrice for a couple of years. Latest - just bought an HDMI to Micro (Type A to type D) for my acer and an HDMI to Mini (Type A to type C) for my Archos 101. The Micro was $5.64 and the Mini was $3.90 both including postage to FL. My average delivery time is 3 days.

Me, too...

I have the same problem... I've searched and searched, and all I've found are a few other posts from people they have the same problem - no solutions.

In dealing with this on multiple devices, I usually traced the problem to the cable. Are you using a cable that came with your A500? Whether you are or not, I would just try another cable.

Cradle For Fuze/Raphael With HTC's ExtUSB?

I want to charge my phone, eyeball the stock reports, sync with my PC and listen to my music while at my desk. A cradle would be perfect, I'd think. What I can't tell from all these cradle manufacturers is if they connect with the full HTC 11-pin ExtUSB connector or just the mini-USB connector. If they had a real ExtUSB connector, I could plug the (bulky) audio/charge adapter INTO THE CRADLE, then my headphones into that.
I was looking at something like the Fuze cradle at:
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/
Does anyone own a Raphael cradle with a ExtUSB connector or know if something like that exists? You'd be able to tell if when you drop your Raphael in the cradle, plug the headphone/charge adapter into the cradle, you can hear music through the headphones.
Thanks!
Well. Go to expansys-usa and find the cradles. Some are expensive, like the original HTC cradle which is around $40, and some are cheap like the expansys one (Don't remember price). Both have extUSB and have a 3.5mm in behind the cradle.
I just received the HTC Cradle to use with my Fuze in the office.
It looks awesome! Charges, syncs and plays music.
It has caused me two problems, however.
1. I need a bigger Micro SD to put music on my Fuze as this set-up will definitely replace having the iPod docked and playing.
2. I had to sign up for DashWire so I could receive and send text messages via my PC - and not have to remove the Fuze from the dock.

Hmmm I receive SMS while connected through USB cable w/o problems.
That HTC cradle is OK? Has it a slot for 2nd battery?
Dig the look of the second one but $100 for 2 cradles (office and home isn't that funny).
very similar to (or perhaps it exactly IS) expansyv's "deluxe" cradle, but relatively cheaper:

Could have been kinda expensive, but I ended up with a "please be a customer again" 15% off coupon that made it more tolerable.
Thanks for the tip, all!
(Now, for a case! )
Did anybody purchase the one cyberblue quoted?
We all know cost is perhaps "a buck fifty" ... so why throw 40 into expansys' throat instead of 20 into another vendor - they are all made in China anyway...

I bought this one:

Chose Brando as I have bought loads of stuff from them and always had great service. Only hitch was my local post office forgot to tell me it arrived and Brando had almost got to send me a replacement free of charge - lucky for them I got a reminder card (even though I didn't get a first card!).
I just received this one (ebay item 180308141073) from buy2asia and would state that it looks and works exactly like the one from expansys but is half the price. Arrived within 5 days and I am more than pleased!
Picture courtesy goes to "buy2asia"
will this work with the verizon version of the Touch Pro
If it has the same back I guess yes

It's $35 including shipping... how can that be half?
Don't get me wrong, I also got a few stuffs from buy2asia... he/she got really good price and nice items for the touch pro.
By the way, all of these desktop charger on this thread are beautiful. But they are so expensive. If they add a speaker on them and make it like the one for the ipod, then I wouldn't mind paying those price.

OMG. That is a brilliant idea! I should get a iPod dock and a cheap dock for the fuze and hack both and make it a fuze dock with speakers! I'll see if I can find these two things.
Tyguy and others who bought these docks:
There are two varieties with buy2asia on ebay:
One and Two.
Which one to buy? please suggest.
I'm using Touch Pro India version.

The only difference is, that one's price is an AU and the other's is in USD.
The first one should cost you $6 less. I don't remember the conversion rate to rupees so I couldn't tell you that.
@swordfish2 & Kraize
THESE TWO ARE DIFFERENT!!!
One has that ugly "hump" and has kind of structured plasticy surface while Two is the stylus one with flap to hide the 2nd battery!
For style I'd go with TWO and the one I bought is the "TWO-Style".

That's basically the one I got - from ebay, shipped from hong kong. It's a great dock and very nice looking. the only problem I had was they sent a european AC adapter (wrong plug). I have a bunch of usb AC adapters from other things so it wasn't an issue...
Without the spare battery, it's a little light so docking and undocking takes two hands - one to hold down the dock, one to pull out the phone...

[Q] BATTERY help! please help im going craaaazy

Hi all, im reeally tired of this... damn amazon mailed me a transformer with wrong adapter... now i tried charging my TF with my ipod charger (the adapter) and it didnt show any progress on battery icon, and when i finally arrived home after spending week in a middle of forest i plugged my TF to computer and that damn thing wont charge! it has been on 1% for an HOUR! what the heck should i do?
i plugged TF to my win xp computer and it booted but then it says "1% battery left, plug the charger in" (or at least something like that ) now i have beeen waiting to play with my brand new TF but im kind of pissed off
The reason none of the charging methods you tried worked because TF requires USB 3.0 source. So, unless you get a hold of another TF charger you will be SOL.

but... i have only Imac and xp no usb 3.0 ports... DAMN AMAZON!!!!!!! i dont have any other option except die with uncharged TF
just to confirm: is there *ANY* other way to charge it?
What do you mean by wrong charger? is it a US plug or the wrong european plug? can't you get any adapter or even hack something? like take an AC splitter and enlarge the holes so the prongs from the adapter fit in? wrap with some duct tape and there you go...
there' s a thread in the accessories subforum called "DIY TF101 charger and other charging methods". check it out. although you should just RMA the TF.

How is this amazons fault exactly? The TF hasnt been released in Finland, so you obviously ordered from the UK amazon site, which will also obviously not ship with a Euro plug. It's a simple case of buying an adapter.
In Finnish, sorry English speaking humans...
Tietokoneesta tuleva virta ei riitä, joten tarvitset ladata seinästä. Amazon ei lähettänyt väärää laturia, tosin on todella typerää että muutamalla EU-maalla on oma malli. Itselläni tuli yllätys "mitä ihmettä, täähän lataa hitaasti!"
Get just UK -> EU adapter. Why The British must have their own AC plug!

If you buy a car in Great Britain, so they don't switching the steering wheel to the left side. If you buy the Transformer UK version, so you get the UK version.

OEM Acer Travel charger kit @ Walmart - $15

So the A500 that I had bought this week did not come with the charger. Just in case anyone was looking for a replacement, the Walmart's near my house have the A500 travel charger kit in the stores. Online the price is $22 but in the store it was only $14.99! I thought it was a pretty good deal since usually power supplies for for $25-30 in B&M stores usually.
Online the cheapest i could find was the $22 at Walmart anyways for the OEM one. eBay has some, but they are mostly all knockoffs from China.
Here's the link: walmart.com/ip/Acer-A500P01/16560714
The cord is pretty short, which I think is the norm for these. Comes with the US, EU and UK adapter plates.
If you go into the store and give the clerk the number below, they should be able to find it for you. In my store it was near the other tablet accessories, small section.
0088448399945
Hope this helps someone.
Nice find.
very nice find. Now I can have one at home and one at the office plus keep one in my computer bag for that price
Just picked one up yesterday, wish it was a slimmer design though...however for someone brave enough they can make the cable longer instead of the stock short cable.
I am planning on taking this power supply (the one I bought from Walmart as a spare) and modifying one of the included adapters (probably the US one since it is the lowest profile) taking off the AC prongs and re routing a long AC side cable to where the adapter attaches to the transformer making it look more similar to a laptop adapter with a cord at each end...
This way I could still use it with the standard adapters and also have a lower profile power supply to carry in the case (without having to remove the adapter)
Ted...
It was $14.99 at my Wal-mart as well-- picked it up today.

You must live in Oklahoma.
I once stopped at a Subway shop in Oklahoma to get a sub.
When asked what kind of cheese I wanted, I said "Provolone."
The girl said "what" and I again said "provolone."
She said, "provolone, what's that?'
True story.
Awesome find - San Antonio
Thanks a million! You just saved me two weeks of not being able to use my Iconia!
I just got back from a trip and I think that I left the interchangeable plug part at the hotel. I was just about to order a new power supply on eBay (avg $14) but wasn't too happy about the idea of waiting two weeks for the thing to ship in from China.
Found one here at the Walmart in San Antonio for $14.95.
Thanks brother. I've been having a hard time finding one on the internet (Amazon). I found mine in Charleston, SC.
Maybe the reason for the short cord is so you dont accidentally trip over it. I'd feel pretty dumb breaking my tablet all because I trip on it's long charge cord. And this thing charges pretty quick IMO, so it's no big deal to put it down for a short time while it charges.
I am showing $14.99 online

[PSA] The OEM Universal Dock Scratches the Back Cover

I just noticed this on my Note. It's not bad and you can't see it unless you look for it but I'd imagine it would get worse over time.
Here's the problem. The Note moves as you're using it in the dock and the stand is hard plastic so it leaves abrasions.
Here's the fix (from Lowe's)
I use the OEM dock and am not seeing any abrasion, yet, but thanks for the tip.

I use it also and don't see any but I think I will apply these just to be safe. Thx BH
What is the universal dock capable of other than acting as a stand? How much n where can you buy them from?
I have three of the docks and my Note spends a lot of time in them. That may be why I'm showing more wear than you guys.
I got mine at MacMall for $29.99 all in. Shipping is free and 2-day if you belong to ShopRunner. It's pretty much a stand but it has a 3.5MM out jack to plug speakers in to it. The old docks were made to fit each size tablet and provided better support. The new one also has the Note sitting pretty upright compared to the old one. Demandarin, BB has them in stock in Alexandria for $34.99 if you want to see it first.

got mine at best buy and also use an HDMI plug which i piggy back to the back of this. I pretty much do all of my charging on it and moovie watching as well as listen to my music. It was about $35 at BB. I think the HDMI was about $22 on amazon. I will look for a link.
I went and got a notebook 'skin'.. those lightly adhesive decoration sheets meant to put on the lid of laptops and netbooks and carefully cut it to match the Note and stuck it on there... mainly because I'd heard so much about the Note's back being 'soft'.
So the dock would only scratch the sticky.
My biggest complaint about the dock is that you can't charge AND sync at the same time. It would have been nice to have a USB connection on this too.
Since no ones mentioned hdmi output in any of these docks, im assuming because there is'nt one, but just incase, does anyone know or own a compatible note dock with hdmi output?
HDMI would have to run through the charging port via a dongle so a charging dock won't do it without an additional adapter. Any other type of dock you can just flip the tab over and use the dongle.

Ok my mistake...the HDMI was $27 at Amazon. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059UGT1K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
and i plug it into the back of the dock above post from Best buy and you can charge while using the HDMI. Infact this dongle will ONLY work if you are charging at the same time....
I've been using the universal dock as a stand for about an hour a day and haven't noticed any scratches, but thanks for posting this! I'll keep an eye on mine. I got the dock at Best Buy (at the time, they were about the only ones locally who had it in stock), because the regular stand I was using didn't accomodate the thin-ness of the Note very well and I was afraid of it landing on the floor one day.

It can be used without the dock since it uses the charging port, as it should.

I tried the full body shield type a few years ago on my HTC Hero. I wasn't a fan of using water to apply them, but they are definitely hard wearing.
Just ordered the cheap shields from Germany. Thanks deksawyer.

Ive seen the slimport connector on amazon for about £23. Its not directly from Amazon though. I may give it a go soon.
Item id?
I've seen docks in america but not here yet. Damn them
I've ordered the XtremeGuard protectors from America, not sure if they are still doing the 70% off code but got 3 (front and back) for about £6-8 delivered.
Not a good option if in a hurry though, they dispatched the next day but will take 2-3 weeks to get here.

For slimport I saw this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-Connect-monitor-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354206124&sr=8-1
I also bought from xtreme guard and concur with the previous post. BUT even though they say it may take up to 29 days, I received mine in 5 days. Not sure if thats always going to be the case though (especially with xmas approaching).
In ordered the best skin ever screen protector from the states. It's the full body version, so front, back and sides and cost £7.20 delivered. It hasn't come yet, so can't comment on the quality, but price is good.

I only ordered it yesterday so can't give any feedback yet, but I have ordered an XOskins front and back protector from the US.
Some details on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008140&page=6
With the sprintxo code it came to about 15 pounds. They do a front only one too.
Just found this case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360535014154?var=630071594227
TPU but no S-Line (I hate S-Line). Matte back. Have ordered one.
Just ordered white one. Seems to be nice. Will see when it arrives.

slimport
Hi, has anyone in the UK found a slimport cable that works? After playing with a nexus 10 and streaming stuff to the TV I'm keen to do it on my nexus 4 so went searching for a slimport cable or a mhl cable. I know not all cables are the same so sought out one that claims to be for the Nexus 4 and ordered this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380558482303 from this ebay seller http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/vhbw24?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
unfortunately it doesn't work. Zip, nada, nothing (other than charging the phone if the charger is connected) so while I seek my money back, can anyone confirm one that does work?
a search using slimport gives just this one on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-SlimP...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e7664bf40 bit costly, but i'll pay if I need to, and it works.
searching on mhl
finds the one I got and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iKross-MH...228948?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dd01a14
I'm nervous as I've just checked and fpound mhl is a differnet standard to slimport so....probably why neither work
Or there's this one on amazon at 24 quid
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
Any comfirmation that one of these works would be great. Even better would be a link to a cheaper one that works...but it seems to me slimport is ~25 quid not the #7 quid that MHL cables are
I just checked what I ordered... It works.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009UZBLSG
That one.
cheers honey monster. Reading the slimport thread more fully it has to be that one really...mhl is totally differnt so the ebay items claiming to be 'mhl for nexus 4' are wrong.
right. I'll order one from amazon.
Cheers!
Right before any one says that I'm obviously a dirty hobo I just want to say I work in a newsagents and that this is mainly ink from the papers but check out my sexy white s-line tpu case lol
Any white alternatives that don't get stained so badly?
