Does anyone know if you can get a seperate usb cable for the streak yet?
I want a spare one so i can keep it in the car, or a longer one because i find the one that comes with the streak to be too short.
Anyway if anyone knows where to get one then could they let me know
Just had a thought while typing.. just buy a usb extension lead...off to buy one to see if it works.
yes Dell sell them on their website mate
Another option is a USB extention cable. I got a 6FT for like $10 at RadioShack. Works great for me, you can also buy the Dell car kit that will work as a backup USB cable.
Is there a way to buy a compatible one?
I live in italy and we can order only from dell.it that obviusly hasn't streak and accessories in their site....

It'd have to be blooming long to use in the car, depending on the car journey

Well it has recently been confirmed that the streaks connection port is a PDMI connection. The Slacker G2 radio also uses a PDMI but no one has tried its cable yet. Specs are one thing but fitting is another. (Think of it how the first iPhone had a 3.5mm headset jack but you had to buy the apple headphones that didn't an elbow and were narrow enough to fit in there.)
So if anybody has, or knows someone that has a Slacker G2, feel free to try the cable out and tell us all

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/08/dell-streaks-proprietary-connector-is-actually-pdmi.html
Images that I can find for the slacker 2 radio charging lead seem to show a standard mini usb connector. Maybe the pdmi connector is data only?
can u use the ones on ebay?
Now i ordered another one from Dell site....
With only one cable, I finally ran out of patience and also constant carrying existing cable from place to place everytime I moved around.....
I have to have one near my bed for reading/charging thru the night....one in the car - which I will carry around to office as well...in the coming months hopefully the price will drop or there will be another source - till then this will do.

I guess it has both. check out this dock for the slacker g2... looks the same.. also looks like the ipod connector so don't know for sure till someone actually tests it out.
oh and here's one on amazon for 27.99
Searched, didn't see this mentioned yet. From what I've read, it will have a Mini-HDMI instead of a full size HDMI port. Will the appropriate Mini to Full adapter / cable be provided with the dock? I'm expecting to have to source this extra part from somewhere like Monoprice, etc.
Anyone have it or know it's ETA / approx USD cost?
ive seen the dock and yes the dock has hdmi built into it but there was no price or location to purchase i think i seen it on the tmo site but its a new device and accessoies i dont think samsung started to make them yet so give it a few months before lookin for them
Most of the Galaxy Tab accessories are available here:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?sid=27342851&man=SAMSU&search=galaxy tab
I've got one and yes it has a Mini HDMI port, and there are no cables added to the original samsung provided package, just the dock and some papers.
And, keep in mind that you need external power attached to the dock to get the HDMI output active. So, could be a good idea to get an extra power supply.

Nope, you can use the original GT supplied travel charger plug into the back of the Desktop Dock.
Anyone got a part number for the HDMI cable? It looks like an odd size mini HDMI...
Hey everyone, I recently bought an OTG cable off amazon along with a ps2 controller to USB adapter. Well, while waiting for my ps2 adapter to come in(OTG is already in my possession), I wanted a temporary solution.
I used to mod original xbox's and even make adapters to convert controllers to USB(Original xbox uses USB, just different shaped ports). Well, on windows you have to download special drivers that you have to find yourself due to your computer not being able to automatically install the controller. So, I figured the controller would be the same way on Android.
Well, I was wrong. what you do is strip an xbox controller's cable, or the break away cable(this is smarter due to the fact you can still use your controller later with another break away cable), and strip a usb cable (the male end still in tact) and simply wire the corresponding colors together(Green to green, red to red, black to black, white to white). Now the xbox controller has a 5th wire which is yellow, you can ignore that one.
So far this controller has been a good temporary solution for my wait. The L & R triggers don't work, but im not sure if that's an android issue or my controller just funked. Anyways if anyone has a spare xbox controller laying around and about 10-20 minutes of spare time, give this trick a go! Would love to see other people's results!

GTA III

A spare mini usb cable but any should work as long as it's a data cable,

Well I already have a XBOX to USB adapter, I guess that would save me the stripping right? (I'm at work, cant test it myself yet)
Anyone try this with ICS?

It should work! If my Evo 3D had otg compatibilities I'd try it but it should work.

I too have an xbox to USB adapter from the old Xbox modding days. Plugged into my OT G adapter for the note 2 tonight, and no love on riptide GP or dead trigger.
is there anywhere where you can check to see if the Android is even detecting it?
do you need to help 6 axis controller or something installed?
Would this work on for the Motola Atrix Lapdock's full USB port? That would be pretty sick...
well i always wanted to know whether this would work but never tried it, i have a xbox controller that i did the usb mod with and a asus transformer tf101 with 2xUSB host and a SGS3 with otg adapter. but when i made the transistion from windows 7 gaming to windows 8 i later realised the driver would never be supported, so i was left with windows 8 games all installed and ready but no controller to play them with. so i bought an official xbox360 wired controller new off ebay, i knew it would work with android if i needed it to but it is perfect for me and my pc. btw the windows 7 driver for xbox controller is called XBCD and works well with x360 button mapping software.
This sounds pretty awesome. I modded the break away cable on one of my original Xbox controllers years ago so I could use it as a PC controller because I had extras. Now I just need to get an OTG cable.:cyclops:
I used this tutorial to mod my Xbox 1 controller a few days before: http://www.ocmodshop.com/how-to-use-an-xbox-controller-as-a-usb-pc-gamepad/
It works perfekt with my i9305 including the L & R triggers if you build you own driver with USB/BT Joystick Center 6: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy
You also can copy my config file to your folder USBJoyData and import it with USB/BT Joystick Center 6: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56411924/Xboxcontroller/Xbox1Controller_JoyPrefsFile_1118_645_0.zip

Using an original Xbox controller with USB adapter to OTG cable. GTA 3 doesn't work for me, sadly. I just get camera spin and some buttons do odd things.

You shouldn't need any third party software installed. As long as your devices supports usb hosting it should work. What Os version are you on?

Stop! I got an idea: buy a extension cable instead of doing it with the original breakawy if you want to use it on the xbox again... something like this
I dont know if someone pointed tha out yet, I dont have time to read it now...

That's normal. All you need to do is install USB/BT Joystick Center 6 and map the buttons to your needs. It also works perfectly on my rooted Galaxy Nexus

Why? Use this tut and you have both: http://www.ocmodshop.com/how-to-use-an-xbox-controller-as-a-usb-pc-gamepad/
Would this work on other phones such as sony xperia p
Simple question, but you are using the micro-usb slot right? Is it possible to charge and connect a controller at the same time?
Because well, I can't play games for any longer then 2hours, then my battery is dead.

There is a y cable I believe that can help you achieve this. I don't have the link or anything though

Charging with otg is kernal specific. If you have a usb extender cable, cut it where you want the charging port to be and solder in a 'y' with a male end. Only red and black need be connected. Leave green and white alone for the charging plug in.
Plug power in first, then the controller, then attach to your device.
I made one to use thumb drive and charge while traveling.
Works great on galaxy s3 with lean kernal.

Hi there,
So I bought a generic MHL adapter from ebay so I could hook up my phone to my TV through HDMI but the adapter does not charge while being used therefore it drains battery. It does charge BEFORE I hook up the hdmi to the TV, but as soon as it's connected, it stops charging. I know buying a cheap one from ebay is probably the reason in the first place, but if anyone knows a good brand of MHL adapter, feel free to share here so I can buy one that charges while I watch it on TV. FYI, I can't get media link from HTC because I have no wifi internet at home and its required, so I can only use MHL HDMI cable. Thanks for your help, let me know if there are any good brands and if you could post a link that would be great.
