Generic microusb dock for usb tethering? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone suggest a dock either generic or for a model with similar layout of ports to seat the phone and allow a usb cable to the pc for sharing of internet from the phone to pc?
Perhaps an HTC One X phone dock since the dimensions are very similar?

this is universal Link

So I can't seem to find the answer can you hook up Xbox controllers and stuff to the tablet itself without the dock?

you can use this USB3.0 AF/AF Adapter
Has anybody tried this yet and confirm its working? Maybe even with USB2 harddrives?
Cheers
I can confirm that the dock recognises my old 80Gb WD passport USB2 drive - I have it partitioned as well into FAT and EXT3 as well and recognises both.

I too am looking for the answer to this before I start looking for one on ebay or monoprice.
same here... Ordered my tablet already but not getting the dock and want to know what works for my 500gig wd self powered usb hd.

Buying my first Android Stick copmuters

What do you all think of the below items I'm getting.
iMito MX1 MiniPC
RC12 Air Mouse/Keyboard
Logitech C310 webcam
Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra-Mini Hub
Anyone suggest other accessories?
You may want to consider a USB Ethernet adapter unless you are pretty sure you will have an optimal WiFi signal.
Something like this would be a great USB Stick accessory:
3 port USB hub and 10/100 ethernet
http://dx.com/p/usb-1-1-10-100mbps-ethernet-3-usb-2-0-ports-hub-adapter-white-10cm-125259
(I know I keep linking to dx.com, but I am not a plant. I have no relation with DX, except that I have ordered from them in the past.)
I have the mx2. Will the hubs work to add more devices to this? I'd like to run a HDD as well as the rc12 remote from the same USB port. For some reason my mini USB port is very delicate and I have to wiggle the wire for the mx2 to.pick it up

Thanks for the recommendation, but I will have the MX2 within 3 feet of the router. However I may need something like this when I move to a new place.

I'm assuming it will. My Transformer prime detects multiple devices through an unpowered USB hub.

Whats the main different between the iMoto vs. the MK series. and for the usb hub/splitter, is there any specific brand I should be aware of? Or will they all work regardless? I am asking because my nearby dollarstore have spliiter for like $2, and dx selling for $11.90

I was too confused with all the versions of the MK that I just went with the iMito.

I just used a usb hub I had lying around. When I get home I check out the model name. I'm buying an extra USB hub for my iMito form a different manufacturer and I'm just assuming that it will work.

Yeah exactly. These brands and models are wayyyyy too confusing. I am surprise no one stands out and give newbies a clear explanation.

USB Type-C

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any idea if this will have USB Type-C 3.1 or 2.1 like the Oneplus 2?
I guess you completely missed the sticky that said " questions don't go in the general thread " huh lol
But anyway, its USB 2 with fast charging.
My Bad!

Ars now state:
Update: In a Reddit AMA, the Nexus Team is saying the devices only support USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Apparently the reps at the event were misinformed.

So is iit USB 2.0 with a Type-C plug or USB 3.0 with a Type-C since its not true USB 3.1 Type-C? They need to clarify this because I want to know what cables to buy

Honestly not sure. It doesn't register when plugged in. I emailed the seller on ebay and he/she said the device had to be 3.1 enabled...
But as somebody mentioned on the reddit link:
The USB Type-C to USB Standard-A Adapter accessory image shows a blue tip, which should be exclusive to 3.0+
and
Also, that page says "data transfer speeds up to 5 gbps", which is USB3 spec.
That said, that an adapter cable they're selling on the Google Store is USB3.0-compatible doesn't automatically imply the phones will work at USB3 speeds - even if said adapter is included in the package when you buy the phone. It will probably simply act as a USB-C to USB-A conduit, running at USB2 speeds.

Looking at the accessories page of the Nexus 6p, I see that the wall charger LOOKS like the type which doesn't detach from the USB cable....is that right? Anyone know if the stock charger shipped in the box is the type we can detach from the plug and put into PC?

That product listing dates back to the 2015 Chromebook Pixel launch, which has USB 3.0 Type-C ports. They listed it with the Nexus since it's backwards compatible with 2.0 devices.

Anyone use type c to micro usb adaptors?

TechMatte USB-C to Micro USB Adapter Convert Connector for Nexus 5X 2015, Nexus 6P, OnePlus 2, with 56k Resistor; Approved to Meet USB Type-C Standard (2-Pack, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0151RKYBG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_Wk-RwbNV1X822
Thinking of picking this up and putting one in my wallet. That way if I ever need a charge and don't have my type c charger, I can still get it done. I know I won't get rapid charging, but that's okay. Just want to make sure its okay to use.
Got 2 of them. Working good, charging and data. Approved by that Amazon reviewer guy.:good:
I have like 5 from 2 different brands including the one you mentioned and they all work fine.

T590 pogo pinout

What pins are what? Tab S4 uses the same pinout, could not google about this exact tablet yet. I am interested in charging it via that connector, found https://android.stackexchange.com/q...does-a-galaxy-tab-10-1-charger-need-to-supply - is this applicable here? Thanks,
