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
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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
Source:
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
Anyone seen a dock for just charging the dell streak. So i can put it on my nightstand as..radio, clock, securitycam viewing.
I've been looking for one too, but no luck so far
Slacker G2 Dock
I just completed the single jumper wire part of this modification so that it both recognizes the charger as a dock and charges within a couple hours.
xttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965555#
Ebay for under $30. When the Streak docks it goes into clock mode which is the perfect alarm clock. On top of that I use tasker to turn on WiFi and synchronize all my pod casts and music overnight.
I bought the Slacker dock from Ebay. Just charges and put it in Night Clock mode - an app. Works fine. $15.99.
I use an unmodified G2 dock too, just plug it in and away you go. Now and again when I take the streak off the dock it complains about the charger having a problem but it does actually charge just fine.

Yeha the G2 slacker is the best option.
I have two of them (one at work and one home) and have my dell cable for a spare or when I travel.
There is a thread on modding the dock so you can use it as an audio out to speakers if you really want as well.
I just got one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NZB-USB-Dock-Charger-battery-Dell-Streak-mini5-/190518480187
it works fine for just charging and syncing (there is NO A/V out, but I have no need of either)
Says they ship to Europe including Belgium for the OP's information!

Having looked at a number of UK websites, only one said a USB cable came with the charger. I had been planning on buying an OEM 2 amp charger. Then I saw Clove were saying it came with a spare USB cable so the price of £24.99 didn't seem so bad any more. Got it on Friday and, yes, it did have a USB cable in the pack.
Tried it in my car runing Co-Pilot sat nav and my battery indicator showed that the charge was still going up so I am very pleasedwith it.
Only slightly disappointing thing is that the charger has only one output whereas some of the OEM ones have two, one 2 amp and one 1 amp. However, I tried it with my charger splitter and it still showed the charge was going up.
most cheap usb car charges have a screwable top; just take out the glass fuse and replace it with a 2amp/2000mA fuse which you can get at autozone, radio shack,home depot....pretty much anywhere
Really? if i just change the glass fuse i can use any usb car charge?
Is not dangerous for the electric impiant of the car?
No You can't. It is not the fuse that decides how much current the charger can give.
The fuse just protects the charger from blowing if something fails.
The regulator used in the charger sets the charging current.
true you can buy a regulator at radio shack. i've seen the 7805 for about a buck 50.
Ok, tnx guy!
Go to Best Buy or your local Apple store and pickup the Incase Ipad car charger. I've tested and works just fine with the Tab.

There are generic 2A USB cigarette lighter / car chargers on eBay for a third of the price. Worth trying too
Would you mind posting a pic of the charger?
I just bought Samsungs Car Adapter kit (ECA-P10CBECSTD) from local store, 27.90€.
It comes with cigarette lighter 12/24V usb adapter, 2 Amps 5V output, and a proprietary Samsung Tab usb cable.
A little pricey, ok, but now I have a second usb cable and a car adapter with enough output amps without fuss.

Here's the one from Clove.
Amazon UK are selling the Samsung car charger for £20.83. Pretty good deal with free delivery.
[edit]
Or there's this one also on Amazon for 99p (+£4.50 delivery!) which apparently can charge the Tab. You still need to add in the cost of the proprietary Samsung USB cable though to match the official car charger features, so not much of a bargain really...

My only concern is nowhere does it mention the cable actually comes with the charger.

That's all fine and dandy Paul but will an individual be bothered contacting officials just for the sake of a few pounds.
No, what I'm saying is why is it not listed..... and if anyone is considering purchasing one I would recommend they save themselves any issues by first contacting the seller to ascertain if the cable is indeed part of the deal.
If you check the item model number it's listed as a charger, nothing further.

OK well I've just ordered one so we'll soon see . The picture on Amazon looks almost identical to the one on Clove. Here's hoping they're the same otherwise I've bought the world's most expensive charger .
Guys, just so you know, you can get very cheap 2A chargers on ebay. The cable problem is still impossible to solve, but I'm sure Hong Kong people are working on it, so it might be best to wait a month and order a cheap replacement cable, rather then paying ridiculous amount of money for Samsung's original cable.
I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...b43hTuXib7JjWUKJhg%3D&viewitem=#ht_1776wt_959
Came in today, and I swear the sync cable it came with is identical to the one my Tab came with, right down to the Samsung logo.
Car charger itself is a 5.0v/2000mA, looks well built, fused, and comes in a very nice retail package.
Considering the cable alone is $29 from my carrier, it's a hell of a deal. I basically bought a cable for $23 and got a car charger for free.
Hey croak that cellet charger doesnt work. it has the charging symbol crossed out... I guess you need to do usb2usb soldering mod to use any 5v2A charger. I saw the thread on here...

Paul,
Any luck with this item?
I'm looking for EU part of charger. Can I buy it separetly? I buy my TP in US and I use adapter, but will be more comfortable without.
I'm sure you can buy it, have you checked HP's site or ebay?
You can use the charger that your TP came with in EU. It's a multi-Voltage charger. All you need is an adapter to turn the two blade US plug to a 2 prong EU plug. I travel to Greece quite a bit and I take my gears with me when I go there. I just make sure that I have the right plug adapter. You can get these for less than a buck from online stores like amazon.
My english is poor. I'm just looking for part from attachment
Yes all you would need is a plug adapter and not a separate transformer since the one included is universal. I don't see where you can get the OEM plug, but you can get a Europe to US plug converter. It just converts the plug pins, there is no transformer. I didn't even know they made these, definitely not NEMA compliant.

Again, have you checked ebay or HP's site?
Yes, I've checked.
I can't found. Now I use universal adapter, but I want to buy original part.
Don't write about universal converter.
You can not just buy that piece.but you can buy the "HP Touchpad intrnational travel kit" which has that piece, on amazon.uk
This is origional Hp Accessory.

Well my Razr i has the desk dock app preinstalled but I cant find the actual dock for sale? Is it not out yet or am I missing something?
Thanks,

I was wrong, the previously linked dock doesn't fit. S3 docks fit.

No, this Dock has an HDMI Port, the RAZRi doesn't.
So you can't connect the phone with the charger, because the HDMI connector is in the way.
i read it yesterday and if i remember correctly both ports are movable, therefore it is possible to dock the i

That is true.
Actually, I am looking for a simple, usb charge cradle for bedside charging of my Razr i. The Amazon.de cradle (page 1) looks very nice, but does not deliver to abroad (The Netherlands in my case); and I cannot find this charger in my country. The official one (Amazon, page 1), is much too sophisticated for me.
Anybody any idea, help for a usb charge desktop cradle, nice design, which ships internationally (The Netherlands, in my case)?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, just bought that (the ebay tip) ; ebay seller delivers to the Netherlands, contrary to Amazon .de, der Hansworst..
Thanks for the tip again, I hope it will look nice, fit good my new precious; moved from NS, due to slow performance on JB (btw: beautiful update!).

Don't think that they would fit as the MicroUSB plug is the wrong way round (on the first one you can barely see it on the picture and I guess the seond one has an HTC Sensation mounted and there the socket is the different way round to the RAZR i).
This one might be better but don't know for sure... : http://www.amazon.de/Desktop-Charge...TF8&colid=3H1MXASJ3ECXT&coliid=I1R3WOTI4LCZGM, at least it looks to be the correct way on the picture but may be a different size/length...

KalleH
Yes kalleh is right, my post with the cradle from amazon.de was wrong!
BTW: The original Samsung S3 one fits (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0081XHNE4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01)
----Added Pics----
The Mumbi Dock for S3 should also fit. It's just 9 Euro
But it looks kind of silly....
