Has anyone else noticed that the Galaxy Tab uses a connection pretty damn similar to the one on our Streaks? After doing some reading it looks as though both use PDMI and cables sold as Galaxy Tab cables are a damns sight cheaper. So I've just ordered one and hopefully I will have some good news to report, we'll be able to spend a fiver instead of £30 for a cable! Not to mention car chargers.
But if anyone knows someone with a Tab they can test, we might get an answer sooner?

Ahhhh that sux! But I think, had I searched google for "Dell streak with galaxy tab cable" I would have noticed the amount of people that had the same bright spark idea.... (leave me alone, it was late.... LOL)... But since I'm going to have one delivered that I have no need for, I'm going to see if I can mutilate it enough to fit
It does annoy the hell out of me, how they can use a "standard" and make it proprietary.
Don`t want to spoil your morning but i already mutilated mine Tab cable and it still didn`t fit...

I did find a company on ebay supposedly selling them for £7.95 (or there abouts) called speedydelivery.co.uk but as I've not heard of them before Ive sent them an email to see if anyone "lives" there, before I ordered one.

Damn, i`m in Poland and there is no way of buying Streak accessories here...
It's just not working out for you is it RavenY2K3?
So how can Dells connection and Samsung's connection bother be PDMI yet both are different?
I got a lil excited at one point as my lil sister has a little creative MP3 player and that had a simialr looking connector but that didn't fit

It certainly isn't mate, think I'll get me coat now ha ha, I don't how they can be PDMI, that's what I mean about changing standards, it would be like a company adding an extra contact in USB and still calling it USB, im not going to give up....
we shall fight Dell on the beaches,
we shall fight Dell on the landing grounds,
we shall fight Dell in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight Dell in the hills;
we shall never surrender! We will find cheaper alternatives to their accessories..... ha ha
Okay, Winston Churchill style rant over )

Cheap replacement galaxy tab cable here if you need a replacement: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51799
Slacker G2 apparently has the same cable as the Streak, since their dock works for charging and connecting to computer. The only thing the dock doesn't do is audio out. But to get one cheap you have to be in the States. $18 free shipping.

Um - why are you posting this in the Dell Streak forum? It's not as if the Tab and the Streak use the same cable :-(

Because someone posted they wrecked they tab cable trying to make it work with the streak. If they need a new one, thats the link. Did you read the whole thread? I dont think so
They should use micro-usb instead
Next year every manufacturer need to use micro-usb for every device

Just got the G2 from the Up's man....Excited! Whats the correct way to start this thing up ? charge full first?
I played with my G2 while it was charging from the PC's USB, no ill effects. Just takes longer.
Congrats, you got a great phone!
I know I was like a kid in a candy store with mine.
When I got my desire z, I killed the battery until it shut off, then gave it a full charge. Anyway, Hope you have fun with the G2

i was actually thinking of holding off on root for a while to wait for 2.3....Headed to best buy mobile after work to check out the nexus s and 2.3 mostly....Havent even turned mine on yet! Shes charging....Shhhh
I just got mine today as well. Got it for free with a contract renewal. Very happy that I didn't blow $200 on the nexus S as I live in an area with really good hsdpa+ coverage (south jersey).
Already experienced the corrupt sd card issue (twice). I think it was because I was turning off usb connectivity on the phone, then unmounting it. Only way to get it working was to throw it into my G1 and reformat.
Build quality seems to be top notch... not sure about all the fuss on the hinge. Works well enough for me. Gonna root this weekend, can't wait to tether this puppy. Anyway, enjoy.
Congrats!. I enjoy mine everyday .
I got mine yesterday....now I already done the sim-unlock and permanent root : and put desire z build xD
Congrats,a great and nice phone!
Have fun

It wouldn't render the graphics on the room/stairs part....interesting I thought....maybe 2.3? Anyways if I root and stay stock rom will I get stock ota updates? I got the first update about 10 mins after turning it on

Kill the battery, root it, overclock it, psfreedom it, kill the battery again, back it up, root it again lmao. This phone will keep u occupied for some time. I like it more than I expected. I'm coming from a hd2, was about to get the dell streak but decided to go the g2 way.

I think it's funny how people complain about the screen closing when they are using the phone while laying on their back. The simple solution is to just close the keyboard. There's ten different ways to input text into this phone and there was such a big fuss about not being able to use the keyboard while facing the ceiling.
Hey guys,
Got my wifi xoom a couple of days back from Best Buy and noticed that the rubber part is level on the left but protrudes out very slightly in the right and levels up again. The tab works fine though. Should I return it and get a new one or is it fine? I think its just the new gadget paranoia
Doesn't affect functionality then don't return it. Who knows its probably new gadget paranoia
I have that too on my 3G version. It works perfect so I am not worried. Some early pics I seen on the net looked like they had the same. I was worried for a day or two myself.

Nothing official yet, but the buzz is after the launch of the evo lte it looks like there will be a evo slider in the works.
Well glad to hear that. I mean honestly, as I've said a thousand times before. Not everyone likes Virtual Keyboards.

No reason too, the reason I got the shift is for the keyboard and I wanted to get another phone with it so I frequently research and ask lots of questions about keyboard phones. Keep in mind nothing is ever set in hard stone... But I have faith in the person who told me about it.

I saw a different kind of Flex Cable design when I was looking for replacements the other day. It was a flew cable made out of a silicone like material. The actual Cable was inside the material. Even the Ribbon itself looked different. From the Pics it looked like a lot better design. I just wish that company made a replacement Flex Ribbon Cable for the Shift.

Can't tell if srs or trollin.
My HD2 has finally failed. A quick death (a week ago working fine; now the dreaded "screen is not responding" issue.)
Just a quick good bye to my HD2 kin.
From learning to theme on WM (making cabs!) to learning android (decompiling!) it was all done here.
Off to something new. Maybe the HTC One...we'll see.
(and if you have tmobile US and have a suggestion, I am all ears...)
Cheers to all and thanks.
have you tried pressing the power and call button simultaneously?

So true. Wish it would keep working.
I still have my good ol' hd2, only one volume button works, bottom buttons are finnicky, and I had to sacrifice the radio antenna coax to use it for a wifi coax, usb port is broken out of the phone, but I still take it out of my drawer of dead phones and play around with it sometimes. RIP HD2, best smartphone ever made

Hi James, sorry to hear that news buddy,I recently passed on my HD2 to my wife and after very little use by her (tbh she barely uses it as a phone,more like an move player) she had broken the head phone socket,i.e the jack won't slide in. As you can see from my sig I've gone to a galaxy note as my daily driver, it's been a great move, but if you were considering the note, get the international version unless you really need the 4g lte of the us phone.all the best to you ..Marc

:crying::crying::crying::crying: I cant tell you how upset I am after loosing my HD2 today...
they say a person's anger is his greatest victim and I learned that lesson
Smashed my HD2 on the floor in anger...now I only have bits and pieces of it left. Was my first phone I bought with my first paycheck...more than the price was the emotional value of the phone...nothing can bring it back.
Take a lesson from my experience and never let your anger lead you. :crying::crying:
