Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

I know none of the ports are usb mick, thats why i was asking in the first place

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

They are mini USB ports and to make a keyboard/mouse work you need a USB OTG (on the go) cable. We do this with siobhans tablet for her. The final port on the right is a hdmi port for putting the image out to a big screen/TV.

Have a look at dealextreme.com for a cable, they come from Hong Kong and usually are here in about a week. I use them for all sorts of things.

Where would the otg cable go though Ian?

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

you are right Mick, it has two ports that are similar......one labelled OTG...the other HOST....and it is the OTG port that I use to connect up to my desktop....but it was really to show Shaz the shape of the port.......I mislabelled it when I put the pic on.(my name should be daft Ada)
Anyway....I knew you would know more and be able to advise....whereas I am only useful as a bad example :D

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

I can't see a mini usb port in the photo on post 1.

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

Right - this has exactly the same arrangement of ports as on Flashy's tablet - plus it comes with an adaptor similar to what I posted in post 4. Surely that is what she's missing? :bangh8: :idunno:

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

lol thankyou Susie, it does look like what i need but the only place it could go is in what Ian said was the hdmi slot? maybe

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

No it goes in the long thin slot next to the two round ones - not to be too technical about it. For less than four quid on ebay it's got to be worth a punt.

Haha Marg just looked at that picture again. Were you wearing blue linen look jeans and a spotty top in navy and white? Or was that the other half?;)

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

the pic of the tablet is the exact same one i have

thankyou very very much for clearing everything up for me, i will have a look around now i know what it is i need, failing that i have saved the ebay page, thankyou again Susie lol

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

You're welcome, just hope it's right!

I actually posted the ebay link at 9.30 last night but everyone ignored it. Oh well such is life. :rolleyes:

You could save a whole 10p by buying this one - and the estimated delivery time is shorter too... :)

It was me, balancing it on my knee and I was looking at it upside down too.
I felt like a juggler, because I was using my big camera...not something you can do one handed.

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

Me neither. I think ian is talking about Margaret's pic...

Looks like this is the one. You need the adapter for that long slot to use USB....

oops i didnt see the second page to this thread :)

Oh deal extreme. I have ordered from them. But when I ordered the sata to ide adapter to put a larger sata hd in my xbox they never came in a week. I was waiting three months!

Re: android tablet usb adaptor?
 

Yes that is the one Susie.

It looks like the tablet should have had one of those with it.
