I wish to buy HDMI Dock just want to play avi movie on HD TV.
So will it works if we connect Dell Streak with HDMI Dock and play it on big screen with Rockplayer?
I've seen a review of the home dock that says only the Dell video player supports hdmi atmo, but I suppose you can always try Rockplayer and see when the time comes.
At present only the stock will play over the dock i convert the videos if i want to play them through the dock
I'm not in UK or US, where could i find a cheaper price than ebay $110 like now?

Sorry only Dell or the odd one on ebay for a daft amount
please help
I'm running DJ Steve 1.9.0 but I'm missing the stock Dell Media Player so I can use the HDMI on the dock, Any body got the APK or link to it, thanks guys.
Well I finally bought the Streak docking station. I havent hooked it up to HDMI yet so I cant tell you about that yet.
What I can tell you is.. the plastic holder part.. The clear thing you insert, I dont know, I mean seems solid enough but I cant help but feel that it could break, I dont know. That and things make a odd sound when you jiggle the tablet while its docked.
Aside from that, GOD this dock is nice. I mean its angled just right for doing things, visibility is great! Good for video watching and so. Also playing finger based games like angry birds, this thing runs great. Also least it can charge separately from the usb connection to the PC. All I need to find now is a way to access my network files to play videos remotely and I am set. =D
I agree on the dock being nice. I bought two, one for in the office and the other at home. The dock mode of the streak can be a bit annoying at times especially when you lock the tablet with a pin. Posting via Galaxy S as waiting on replacement streak 7 from Dell. Still love the Streak though not working right now.

Btw I havent tested this part yet with HDMI, If you hook it up, do your games show up on the TV? Would be cool to have your emulators displaying on the TV. Heh.
Hmmm.... I think I might give the dock a try. I have a few extra HDMI cables laying around. I'll try it out and post what happens.
I've had the dock for about 2 weeks now. Works great, HDMI looks decent, not HD obviously, but it looks good and I am able to watch movies on my 56inch with no problems.... To me it was worth it, you can get them for cheap on ebay just to let everyone know.

Forgot to mention that everything DOES show up on your TV. I have been playing super mario world a couple nights a week now lol
How can I buy this dock in Vietnam???
I picked up one these docks on eBay for $50 w/ a OEM car charger.
Nice solid feel on the dock but sometimes I wish it had a mode where you could have a case on & have it nicely dock as well...
HDMI out is a nice +
I just wished it worked with Honeystreak. I hope dell releases honeycomb because I love using my doc to watch movies in the bedroom.
Hello
I'm new owner of Streak 7 - from Poland. I'm looking for one dock station for my S7 to be able to play hdmi on my tv. Problem is, that in Poland it's hard to get a dock.
Maybe anyone of you is about to sell one and could send it to Poland?
Thank you in advance

I would say check ebay. Most people ship everywhere.
Also yea, playing emulators works great on it. Also another perk.. if you use wiimote IME. You could have your streak docked, away from you and you can use the wii mote or classic controller to move the menu around too and open apps and so. Very handy.

I have had some strange issues with with getting HDMI working on various DJ Steve's build but I chalked that up just not be official?
I'm running
StreakDroid HD7-2.0 R1
I think that is the latest...
anyone else having any issues? I'm sure the "offical" build will support it... I'm sure...
I'm running his HC build and it works fine for the most part. I can't get rid of the bottom status bar, and in comparison to my Logitech Revue, the Revue streams Amazon video much smoother and the PQ seems to be better as well. I'm usng the stock browser and I get a few video freezes where the sound keeps going, had some lip sync issues, and some other minor things. He Revue

i need a dock and data cable for streak 7 in pakistan,,, is thr any way i can get 1.???
Maybe. Tried Ebay or Amazon? Alot of people will ship worldwide.
what are some alternatives to the official dock like the g2 slacker? looking for something under $20 as both the official dock and the g2 dock go for at least 30 on ebay.
g2 slacker, while "looks" like same port, I doubt it is. Or would work. If you need a cheap alt,

HOWEVER I should mention these docks DO NOT have hdmi! So they will charge, and seperate cable to sync. However.. a dell streak dock without hdmi.. seems silly..? I know for me.. hook to HDMI, Use BT keyboard/touchpad (and I can run dos!) or BT gamepad and I can run emulators. Thats nice on a TV. =)
The slacker dock only supports USB-IN, it doesnt support anything else on the S5/S7
Things missing from the slacker dock (that's available on the 2nd gen official dock):
Line-out
USB-in (ie OTG)
USB-high speed charing
HDMI-out
Dock sense (where the device automatically goes into clock mode)
The slacker dock has a headphone out, but the S5/S7 dont support it either (it may not have the pins for that, if it does it's different anyway). The slacker dock also has pads for USB-in, but that model was never officially made available(?).
Also I would STRONGLY recommend against a slacker dock for the S7 (if you can even find one), the S5 is a lot lighter then the S7.
The S7 barely fits on it, but it has absolutely no support besides the port itself.
The S5 already places all it's weight on the dock port, the S7 is asking to be broken by any accidentical impact.
If you are willing (or can find it at a reasonable price), I would strongly recommend the official 2nd gen dock for either the S5/S7.
It includes 2 backplates to support either model.
Also, the S5 dock in the previous link likely wont fit the S7, that's the reason the official dock comes with 2 backplates.
Your only real choice for the S7 is the official 2nd gen dock.
Oh fyi, amazon has it on sale right now for 30$ the official one.
Are we sure the Offical Dell Dock has OTG?! I can't find documentation on that AT ALL.
Both are now $8 a month for streaming TV shows and movies.
Which is better ?
In my opinion:
Netflix
However
I like hulu to watch a lot of tv shows that come out a day after they air, One thing i hate about hulu is there are limited commercials, but its a lot less then cable tv
I have them both instead of cable and im saving over 60 bucks a month, cause im also watching all my shows on tv links
If you are going to turn off your cable
Get netflix,hulu plus, an antenna to get local channels and use tv links
This way you get it all for only 16 bucks a month

Yea, my cable bill has gotten completely out of hand. It's as much as my power bill.

meh, i got something better
Hp Wireless Tv Connect : http://www.amazon.com/HP-WY555AA-ABC-Wireless-Connect/dp/B00462QT62/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Its basically wireless hdmi and can work with anything that has an hdmi port (Computer,Blueray player, Xbox, ps3 etc.) as long as u have a usb port or usb wall plug to power it
This wouldn't do anything would it? We also need some hardware to do it?

It will not work
I really wish it did...
They don't have a lot of the premium tablet features to keep the price down. To be honest, I have the ASUS Transformer for a year, and not once have I connected it to my TV.

Yeah I didn't really want this as like a make or break thing and I didn't think it would work.. but just wanted to check XD thanks
I had a Transformer and I used HDMI very often for my emulators in my mancave on my TV.
I knew the N7 didn't have it but whatever. I have high hopes some genius dev will figure out how to make MHL work.
My Galaxy Nexus works if I have to play anything on my TV.

MHL requires a chip that the nexus doesn't have, a developer can't do squat.
Doesn't the media link hd work on the nexus with a certain app from the market? Or is that only good for watching movies?
I had planned on using my Nexus 7 for HDMI-out to stream videos and stuff. I was a bit disappointed when they said it didn't have it. Then I went to Walmart and purchased a Roku for $50. Now I'm a very happy person because I am no longer dissatisfied with my Nexus. Plus, the Roku is much better than streaming from a device anyway. So, yeah, it's an extra $50, but you're not going to have to put up with the hassle of reconnecting your device every time you want to use it, plus it has a dedicated and very easy to use UI that translates better to a TV screen. I know this doesn't really help those who wanted to mirror their device for gaming, but I'm sure it will help a few.
As an alternative though ESR Labs are working on screen streaming from Nexus devices (including the Nexus 7) and NVidia are working on Miracast for the Tegra 3 chipset.
With the cast SDK being out have we figured out Amazons service? my grandmother bought one after seeing mine and she has and uses netflix but her favorite show is on amazon... what can be done...
Can her show not be found anywhere else? Is it like a Amazon exclusive show?

Only way is to use cast from Chrome browser on a PC right now. It works fine, but you have to have a semi-recent PC. Complain to Amazon like the guy from Engadget did and try to get a partial credit. He has a form letter to help.

There are other ways, I don't exactly approve of spreading the word on companies with absolutely no moral grounding but it is possible with a DLNA server that has Amazon prime in their channel mix and you can use bubbleupnp to cast it

The Android community have been waiting for an Amazon Video app forever. I don't think I'll be renewing Prime when it's up this time, especially with the rumor of higher yearly rates.
Showbox + Avia or BubbleUPnP will work fine. If you really want Amazon video on a streaming stick and don't want the hassle then check out the newest Roku 3500R Streaming Stick that well be out in a month.
Another alternative is using wifi mouse or an automation program that can move the mouse for you while you are casting. That way you don't have to be at your computer to use Amazon videos
