I have a USB 3.0 Docking station which allows me to use the USB 3.0 port on my laptop and desktop for dual monitors (basically an external video card).
What are the chances the Ubuntu ROM for the Note 3 will support this dock?

Hey,
Does anyone here have the USB adapter for their Samsung Tab 10.1? Can you connect a USB hub to it (maybe a powered USB hub)?
I take lots of full resolution photos, and would like to use the Tab to transfer data from SD card to portable USB hard drive.
What I want to avoid is having to first copy the SD card contents to the Tablet, then connect the tablet to the portable HD to unload the photos. That seems like unnecessary wear/tear on the flash memory.
If the USB host on the Tab 10.1 can handle a hub, then I can connect both the SD card and portable HD at the same time...hopefully the Tab would make use of it's RAM (the 1GB spec) to transfer chunks of data at a time, without resorting to using the internal Flash memory.
Am I right about that? The Android OS doesn't use the flash memory as a page file for working memory the way desktop computers do with drives?
bump - hoping someone can answer. Thanks.
There is a thread in development about a homemade usb adapter, and it works successfully with a hub. The samsung adapter isn't available yet, but should work the same
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
pokey9000 figured out how to force the unit in host mode. All you need to do is put 20ohms of resistance (easiest way with two 10Ohm resisters in series) between pins 13 and 15.
He also tested using a powered hub and was able to connect to multiple items at once. A regular hub might work for a few thing that are low powered but if you plan to have two hard drives, it better be powered.
has anyone found a usb to sd card adapter for multiple sd cards?
Did you ever figure this out? I want to do the same thing.
- Ethernet RJ45 Network DM 9601 Driver USB Stick support (these small sticks for $7)
- USB Audio-Device Stick support (these small sticks for $15) for better Recordings (internal microphone has "humm" noises)
- Battery no draining feature
Does the Asus Vivo Smart ME400 micro-USB port support USB devices like flash drive - keyboard - mouse - HD & CD drive? If yes, where do I get the right USB adapter for it? THANKS.

Use a regular OTG Micro USB to USB adapter
I've been testing my micro USB port with a micro USB to USB OTG cable I have.
Logitech G700 mouse works.
Kingston micro SD to USB adapter works.
Corsair Vengeance 2000 headphones works.
WD 500GB USB 3.0 hard drive works.
Samsung Ultraslim DVD drive does NOT work.
The Samsung DVD drive did work on the full sized USB port on my Samsung 500T tablet. But on the ME400, the light lights up once when I plug it in, but never installs the device and doesn't have any power afterwards. This is a USB powered DVD drive.
Surprised the external hard drive did work when the DVD drive failed. But it showed up fine, had some videos on it, was able to play videos from there okay.
I have another external DVD drive that is powered externally, I imagine that'll probably work fine, I'm too lazy to find it and plug it in (it's an old giant clunky beast).

I think the port only puts out 500ma. The DVD Drive is most likely over that. However quite a lot of modern 2.5" HDDs (your external hdd) are just below 500ma in power which is why it works.
I'll try with my Aluratek dvd writer later. It has a Y cable so may need more than 500mA.

My Samsung DVD drive is powered from a single USB cable (no y splitter for extra power). So I'm guessing the micro USB port isn't even outputting 500mA. It worked fine on the Samsung Atom tablet and I doubt that USB port was outputting more than 500mA.
Guys i have this tablet for about 3 years now and now i face a problem, the tab do not charge anymore and does nothing, not even the orange light of low battery, he does give light of charging, but no life, is this a battery problem? Even if battery is dead shouldnt give life with the charging cable and turn on?
Are USB 2.0/3.0 Hubs and USB 2.0/3.0 Memory, Flash/HDD Supported?
What fileformats are supported, what is the max. size acceptable 2TB, or more?
My ES-Explorer dif not show any external Memory (FAT and NTFS) on a hub or directly via a cable.
Update of my test results so far:

Update of my test results so far:
I tested via an USB 3.0 OTG cable
an USB 2.0 (7 port Belkin) and 3.0 Hub (10 port Anker) with USB-Sticks USB (2.0 and 3.0) all had FAT 32,
On the Belkin a max. of 4 sticks each 128 GB could be connected and all 4 plus the internal µSDXC could be accessed now with the Samsung and the ES-Explorer = 512 GB for books, music and film were available, the negative was after 3 h 50% of the power was gone . One time only 3 sticks were detected.
On the Anker Hub only 3 of 8 connected sticks were detected.
One of the sticks is USB 3.0 but is not detected as USB 3.0 device when directly connected to the USB 3.0 OTG cable.
WTF is the USB 3.0 port good for if no USB 3.0 memory devices are detected/available on the Note as USB 3.0 device?
SInce my Note is not rooted I could not try the NTFS access.

NTFS is not supported natively... Need an app to do that...

Thank you, I only found ones that mention root required. Do you know of one that doesn't require root?
Do you have an idea where the natively supported filessystems/version are documented?

Nope, sorry. I found out it wasn't supported by plugging in my 1Tb 2.5" HDD. Powered it noproblem but said usb blank or unsupported file system....
Have to see if I can find an app to get it working as it would definitely be a good thing to have....
Since our port is USB C and I have an HDMI and VGA adapter in hand, I have tried connecting the phone to an external monitor.
But, nothing works. Is there anyway we can get an external monitor working?
You can't because A1 don't support mhl, as far as I know it required the phone to have usb 3.1 to support usb c to vga/hdmi output. But you can use chormecast if you want to use wireless method.
Edit: Nope, check the Xiaomi official page:
https://www.xiaomist.com/2020/05/xiaomi-phones-compatible-with-mhl-what.html?m=1
Wasnt MHL a old standard? The USB-C should have a HDMI Alt feature. You should try connecting a device with native HDMI input, without VGA or other adapters.
