I have an adapter so I could theoretically plug a USB flash drive into the mini USB socket on my universal, does anyone know if this would be feasible as it would be good if I could do so.

Asked a million time. Answer is no. Search forum for other discussions here.
Hi,
I have a few questions regarding the extra functionality available through the USB adapter that I would be grateful if someone could answer. I really like the look of this device but am unsure about a few things.
1) Does the USB adapter (30pin to USB) allow charging at the same time?
2) Does anybody know if there is a docking station that will provide USB & HDMI out. It would be nice to use this device, attach a harddrive and output to a TV.
Thank you for your time!

i suppose it might be possible if you were to use a multi usb port adapter with the usb adapter. I am not really sure if that will work though.
I talked with Samsung support today asking if the USB dongle could be attached to a regular USB cable for charging and they said yes.
hello guys , i know u can play music on nook simple touch ..... but i am asking about if i can use Samsung galaxy s3 headphone and connect to my nook .... it will run on it ....and if not .... what pins i must modified
i just want put direct headphone .... no usb jacks
thx
Sorry, you'd need an audio interface on USB somehow.
Maybe you could hack it internally but it would be a headache in one way or another.
The system-on-a-chip does support an interface to audio chips but you'd have to do a lot of work to get that going.

thx . MISS Renate for answer
um........ ok ..... is the s3 usb cable suitable with nook???
also the other part i need is headphone usb ..... right.?????,,,
my idea is just joint the right connection between them and also add mic and make them both work in same time and ........ the sum up i meant is create a headphone for nook simple touch ...... plug in and play ............ hope my idea reached u right ........ we wont touch the nook internal staff just the pin connection between nooks jack and headphone and mic ........ cuz iam always love listen to music while read or surf internet ...........i know ur great efforts in develop this appz ......... but i just wont play music or convert nook to ipad nearly possible

The micro USB connector is used for a lot of things.
The five pins on it can be used for unrelated things if the hardware behind them supports them.
The options are
USB
CarKit (analog audio in and out)
MHL (HDMI-like video interface)
UART (logic level serial port for debugging)
Unfortunately, on the Nook we just have USB.

You need an USB OTG adapter cable (brand, model not important, but it must say "OTG").
Something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23683542&postcount=139
You need a USB audio adapter, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KT80IO/
Then you need to read the whole thread from the first link.

i found this otg cable on online store in egypt ........ have alook if that the correct cable . i will buy it easly
http://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/micro-usb-otg-host-cable-for-samsung-and-htc-3995639/i/
That looks good.
Unfortunately I don't have any Egyptian pounds on me.
Consider if you have the option whether to get a right angle cable.
I find those easier, although it's hard to see from a photo
if it goes left or right out of the socket.
I have a couple that I bought that go down when the Nook is in landscape mode.
UMMMMMMM,......... lol...... just gimme links to the right cable with suitable handfree and i will go to virgin store or compu me ..... or try ask in electronics markt ........ anyway ...... i wont go buy anything till my exams finished ...mmmm thx for.ur great efforts ..
BEST regards

Would it be possible, with some software modification in NST, to use something like this1, instead of a huge USB audio adapter?
or this2 or this3? Or best of all, can I simply use microUSB headset? like this
Nope, those adaptors will not work.
They are all just mechanical adaptors with no active electronics in them.
A micro USB connector is often used for multiple things, USB, MPL, UART, analog audio.
Inside the device these things must be supported.
Motorola handies often allow the sending of analog audio through the micro USB connector.
You only need a mechanical adaptor to be able to plug in headphones.
The Nook has no audio hardware inside.
You need an actual USB audio adapter.

Thanks mademoiselle Renate!
My ideal plan: dig into NST and hide the good microUSB/USB sound adapter inside the Nook case. and just leave the microUSB cable outside. Do you think this is possible or just a childish dream?
Better: is it possible to extend 1 microUSB to multiple? like an extender. Any consequence on battery use?
You could connect a USB device inside a Nook.
For any audio adapter it would be best to just put in a separate headphone jack.
The problem comes when you want to use the Nook as a peripheral.
If you use an internal hub then everything has to switch direction.
It all gets complicated.
Hubs are kind of power hogs since they are usually on wall powered devices.
Since the OMAP3621 is designed for an audio interface, that would be a challenge but would use less power than a USB solution.
Hi all,
I've just ordered this gorgeous phone and am waiting for it to be delivered. In the meantime I've been wondering given that it's capable of HDMI output and serve as USB host whether it is possible of it doing both at the same time, if say I hooked up the HDMI output along with other usb devices, like a USB drive and a keyboard via a usb HUB. I would be practically creating a bespoke docking station of sorts..
I know it's pushing the technology a little... and there are other alternatives to USB devices (NAS drives, wireless mouse/keyboards...), but my question is more about what the device is capable of.
Thanks.
Update:
So far I've successfully managed to plug in an old USB hub via a cheap micro-usb to USB adapter bought off e-bay. From there I hooked up a USB keyboard, Mouse, pen drive and also USB speakers.
I'm amazed it actually managed to power all of these devices without any problems (imagine battery drain is massive given that the usb hub is unpowered).
I would like to know if anyone has tried hooking up HDMI output while the USB is hosting other devices. Has anyone tried this already? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question.
As a side note, does anyone know of a docking station for the G2, similar to what you get with laptops?
Did you figure out the answer to this?

No, I have not yet tried this out. I had bought an HDMI cable/device thing but never got it to work on my TV.. apparently it had something to do with the technology that the phone uses for HDMI not being compatible with older Samsung TVs.
Would be great if anyone else has tried this out could post here, whatever the outcome
I'm looking for a way to connect my Galaxy (currently the s4) to any monitor I may come across. Easy enough, use an MHL adapter. Here's the fun: I want to connect a keyboard and external memory at the same time, and to keep those from draining the battery I need a way to charge it while doing all this. By the numbers, what I'm looking for is a male MicroUSB that is split into 2 female MicroUSB's and one regular USB, or a single male micro to 2 female micros (could use a Bluetooth keyboard). I'm not sure if those exist or are even possible. Could someone point me toward the right forum for answering these questions? Has anyone tried it themselves? Many thanks, all around.
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
