under compatibility it says "Samsung Fascinate, Epic, Vibrant, Captivate"
is this a listing error? I was under the impression this phone had tv out when i bought it, and haven't read a single success story thus far. WTF
also this:http://www.amazon.com/Out-Cable-Sam...QS/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_0/179-8658339-6483734
There is also a HDMI cable that is compatible with the fascinate. I did some searching and found some info that said that samsung is going to upgrade the software in the near future to allow the tv out cables to work. Maybe in 2.2?

yeah, that may be what we'll need to wait for :/
I got a10 ft cable from radio shack for 20 bucks. Amazon is cheaper on everything. For some reason the red is video and white and yellow are audio. Works on captivate like that.

video out through the 3.5mm plug doesnt work on the vzn fascinate. im hoping this will be fixed on the 2.2 update. thats the only thing holding me back from upgrading in 2 days.

In the long run this is going to be the better option... take a look at my rambling in the Fascinate or Droid X thread.
Hi all... apologies if this has been discussed... I did a search but couldn't find anything.
Is there a way to add a 1700MHz antenna to the streak hardware?
I figure since they made a few of the streaks with the 1700MHz antenna, there might be a way?
I also thought I would email the guys who did the tear down of the streak to get their opinion.
Thanks for any help.

I would like to know as well if there is such possibilities.
I am looking into buying a 2100/1700/900 antenna and seeing if someone in phone repair knows how to solder it in place... will let you know if I have any success!
thx

There's been a lot of buzz about a T-Mo version over the last week and alot more just since yesterday. It looks like it might be released soon.

Jenn on streak smart made a similar comment... "1) there's a string of evidence that a T-Mobile version of the existing Streak will eventually be released," in the 12-26 post at www.streaksmart.com
She doesn't give any details about what the "string of evidence" is... so I'm not sure what she's talking about... have you guys heard anything?
Maybe they will announce something at CES... I have so far not been able to make contact with anyone about soldering in a new AWS antenna... and may wait to see what happens next week.
If they are going to release a 5" Streak with Tmo I will wait... not sure about the 7" which apparently will be available thru Tmo from the get go... I had a Galaxy Tab for a while and altho I loved it... it was kind of big to carry around all the time... maybe the Dell will be lighter or thinner, who knows.

I sure keep my eye on streaksmart.com. And did read Jenn mentioning about TMo-US version of Streak, but that's about it.
I really want Streak to work with TMo which it does but EDGE is too slow.
Lets see what happens in next few days at CES.
Also, where would to get this "AWS Antenna"?
My thought is to get a broken phone with the right kind of antenna... it's kind of a long shot I know, in terms of it fitting in the Streak case... also, I note by googling that the antennas are attached to a cable, so soldering might not be the way.
I will wait to see what happens at CES and if there is no 5" Streak with Tmo antennas, then I will contact the guys that did the Streak tear down (and lots of other cell phone teardowns) to see if replacing the antenna with one that has 1700/2100 MHz is possible... since Dell made some of the units that way, somehow it must be... but I'm not sure if it would take that exact antenna or if another one could be used somehow... that is the question.

Theoretically you probably could. You'd have to get the hardware, which probably isn't too easy for the average consumer. Then you'd have to swap it out with what's in there already. Even if you get the hardware swapped and manage to not ruin anything else innside the phone, there's one minor hurdle: software. You'd have to have a radio that worked with 1700. If you swap out current hardware with what shipped in the test builds that were handed out as demo units, you could probably find that old radio. If you swap it out with something that's only AWS, you'll have to essentially build your own radio. At least, that's my understanding.
While it all may be theoretically possible, I think it's a gigantic waste of time, effort, and money. Try to pick up a demo unit that supports AWS. They gave those out in Texas, right? If memory serves...

The talk is about the 5" one right now. We should find out more about the 7" later this week. Don't get your hopes up on having 3G voice on that one though.

As long as they have 5" version which will work on TMo-US 3G bands, I am happy!
SoberGuy is right, kinda. You will need a new radio, although not in the software sense - the actual hardware that generates the RF signals, not just the antenna. Think of it as having a CB radio and putting a TV antenna on it - it won't make your CB transmit on TV frequencies.

Thx kd5uzz... so I'd need a radio and antenna... of course that makes sense that it would need something for receiving AND sending!
Since I origially posted this thread there have been some (unofficial) rumblings of the Streak 7 being released on Tmobile... so I am considering waiting for it. Also, Jenn on streaksmart has alluded to the "existing" version Streak being released on Tmo in 2011 as well.
And as I mentioned above, I have also heard about a "more than 5 in. " Palm tabphone called the Mansion that is planned for March 11 release (yeah, I know... subject to slippage of course).... that will be on Sprint... which would work fine too.
So I guess I'm not feeling the need to do a teardown/rebuild yet... but thx again for the input... I still think it can be done but I'm also dealing with some other issues at the moment.
You cant just swap antennas, the circuit board and the software must be able to support. If this was possible somebody would have figured it out by now.

I'm having hard time understanding what the heck they can do *after* it's out...
I'm not planning getting any tablet but if I'd do I'd just kill/disable whatever service/app I want - it's mine, period. Then if I want to use Skype or a SIP app, I will, period. Heck, I root it if I want.
Dear D,
HC 3.2 will be released early August.
Our engineers informed us that it is the HDMI cable you are using that is the problem. With similar cases they have had a new cable solved the issue.
Kind regards,
Asus UK Support Team
If that is legit someone is brave. Although that isnt out of line since ASUS has said they already had test builds going. Given the fact that they are running on basically the same guts as the Xoom and minimal (and i wish they would drop the icon skins) customization it doesn't seem out of line to think they could turn it around quickly.
Honestly its the second big point I chose the TF. The keyboard and the thought that since its basically a Xoom with a nicer screen it shouldnt take too much for them to update Android.

I'm sure that's probably a generic response but wonder if that he means that it will be a WW build since he is from the UK Asus Support Team.
I think the UK got rolled out first on 3.1?
just out of curiosity, what was the hdmi cable issue? did a new cable fix whatever issue you asked about?

I doubt it's the HDMI cable. The cable works on my other display. I tried 2 different cables too. Others are reporting the same issue with Panasonic Viera plasma TV's. I have replied saying this is the case and basically it sounds like they are trying to fob us off with an excuse. Pointed them to the relevant thread where others are investigating it. I'm not going to let it lie. They will hate me in the end (If not already)

+1 TF will not play on my 42" but will on my 37". Xoom plays on both. Yes, different cables but I'm with you, I don't think it is the cable.
But, I've been wrong before...

Hi @ All,
after a few devices I have got my money back. That there wasn´t any device without hardware problems makes me feel sad.
The screen lift is, for me, a big problem!
So here is my question.
Will there come a new charge? And will they fix the hardware problems?
If there comes a new charge, when will it come?
Hope someone can answer my question.
Best Regards
Tobias

Nope. The electricity used to do the charge was AC, and tablets need DC. So there will never be a charge again.
It is cheaper to not fix the hardware problems, so I would not expect any problems to be fixed.

It looks like there may be a recall coming, a Korean new organization is reporting that Samsung has stopped shipping devices.
Thought we could use a thread to collaborate news stories and follow and recall that is coming.

quit buying cheap cables, and spend the money on a Samsung USB-C cord. problem solved.
My phone doesn't even get all that warm while charging. I used 3rd party wireless chargers, and either Samsung or good quality cables. Always use the Samsung AC bricks, or a certified Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 one. I wonder if this is either user fault or certain models. I'd blame poor quality 3rd party batteries, but we can't get access to the battery (that i know of).

I picked up a few extra cables from Samsung with the 30% off promo code they sent me.
Cost me about $9 per cable after the discount.
Other then the actual Samsung charger and cable a couple of times, we nightly charge with a Tylt Vu and once with a micro usb cable with the little adapter they included in the box. Didn't notice any excessive heating in any situation. Hopefully it stays that way.
All the reports I've read on this are pointing to the same issue that the iPhone was having, aftermarket USB-C cables
Android police says the global recall is IMMINENT

Actually Samsung has admitted that the issue is with a small percentage of the batteries. It may be a bit more than that. Looks like an actual recall is coming. We may all be getting a second run of the device. Seems Samsung is going to make an official announcement Friday or over the weekend and is working out the details with the Cell providers to make the exchange process easier. Time to make a backup and get ready for a new phone.

I thought it was just the Korean market/devices?
If it's all of them, that sucks. I don't have recovery haha.
From what I read in a few different articles it was less then 1% of sold n7 in the Korean market. Maybe they will recall globally just for safety concerns across the board?
If the recall does truly take place that blows, that means a new phone with a possible whole new set of potential issues like dead pixels and speaker issues. It especially sucks if the unit you got in the first place has none of the above potential issues. Hopefully they can nail down the model or serial of units that have the bad battery and exclude most of us from recall. I dont see how the recall process could be convenient by any means and a lot of people will probably have to go without a phone for a bit if they don't have a backup
