[Q] Do I really have to pay £20+ for a USB cable?

Why hasn't anyone produced a cheaper alternative yet? I know it's not a common connector, but the phone has been out for a long time now. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you want one YES
I haven't found any third party ones yet

lol..well said.
i hate that phones/laptops use proprietary ****...
but i guess that's where the money is so its stupid not to from a business standpoint.
thats why I always like nokia and htc,,
they would make a top shelf unbranded universal device.
no bs chargers, or batteries, or no mem slot, internal battery etc...
they give you a completely unbranded, un tainted device that actuall does everything...
not the almost everything that these cell phone companies do..
they cant give you everything in one phone because then you will never buy the new one they are selling.
so all that considered the dell streak starts to look pretty damn good...
atleast until the HD3 is released.
I would never have bought this if my HD2 didnt suffer touch screen death.
had dual boot super tech wm 6.5.5 touch rom with froyo 2.2 bluetopia rolling.
It was best of both worlds..
made my nokia n97 seem like a toy.
now the Dell streak has done that even with the HD2..
Extremely impressed!
They call it a tablet but its really a giant cell phone.
they should get Brock Lesnar to endorce it...
it would look very proportional i bet..
so if any marketing vp's are reading this.. there you go...
And,...Brock if you're reading hook me up with some UFC tickets..lol

Not that HTC is any better with their USB headphones on some models like my Touch Pro2! And PDMI is not proprietary, but Dell jumped the gun. They should all just have stayed with Mini USB.

Due to the formatting that post was ridiculously hard to read as it just didn't flow.
I agree that paying £20+ for what is supposedly an open standard plug (PDMI) is a bit excessive however it's a sellers market when people are early adopters. In time we will find that the plugs will become available cheaper cables will be produced, I believe members on XDA-Developers have already sussed out the pin-out for the cable, they just need the plugs.
I have been trying to source some however as of yet haven't had any luck, second I find some I'll be making cables like they're going out of fashion.

You can get an adapter for the USB headset, but the one that works with a headset with microphone is quite expensive. Besides, it is a real pain, carrying it around, trying not to lose it, etc. And the strange thing about the Touch Pro2 is that sound through the speakers is much better than through headphones.

Really? Not if you steal one.... Lol
Second... Shouldn't that have been a question you asked yourself before you bought a $400 proprietary device?

Obviously I was aware of the cable before I bought the device, it's not enough to stop me buying it, just annoying.

Exactly, the Touch Pro2 has the best hardware keyboard around and music wasn't my first priority. So I got it and still use it as a business phone. Every device has some drawbacks, as mentioned by others, if they made them almost perfect, why would you think of upgrading early?

keep an eye out for the samsung galaxy tab aswell it uses pdmi connector so should work on the streak, you can also get tv out cable
Ignore above
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just read on mydellmini site someone has both the Streak &the Galaxy Tab. He states that no they do not work.
The question now is which is standard pdmi, Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak or are neither ?

another member here reported that he ordered this car charger (actually for an iPad) and that it DOES work. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.45227

The charger probably works, the cable it's a no no unless you change your streak port to fit an ibrick plug.

Hope he doesn't get flooded with requests...

Looks like someone may have found an alt source for cables. They expect a sample from their supplier next week and may be making a bulk order shortly there after - last I heard it was 3 cables, AC adaptor, car adaptor = $30.

No - that is NOT what I reported.
That USB charger does work with the Streak - but you need to use the Streak's USB cable to connect it.
The iPad has a completely different USB cable to the Streak ! The cord that comes with the car charger is to fit the iPad, not the Streak - so you can just throw it in the bin.

The picture showing the Dell Strea sync cable on the website linked above seems to indicate in its caption that the same cable could be used for a Zune HD (I say seems as I don't read Korean).
Would someone be able to verify that a Zune HD uses PDMI (and the same 30-pin connector) and so possibly ZUne cables may be an alternative?

I posted a solution here without having to look for new cables or sodering usb chargers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10634108&highlight=car+charger#post10634108
Basically, it seems that firmware dictated how the usb cable charged. Rooted my 1.6, and flashed up to Stock 2.2 released by Dell for its unlocked units. I'm unsure if the earlier versions (2.1) would work too. Anyhow, no longer had any problems and could charge in my car just fine without overheating. Make sure whatever usb car charger you get, that the port has at least 1A of juice coming out. Good luck!

Useful informations from NC users outside USA

Hi, i've been long time lurker but never a poster on this site. I'm interested in nook color and since now i have a chance to buy one i've would be grateful if some of users from outside USA could give an insight in device.
1. I have read that since i'm living outside usa i can't use b&n's store. Do some of you use service like hotspot shield or something else for book purchase?
2.Also what about power output since here in croatia we have C type adapters? Do you just use regular converters for optimum charging time? a to ctype?
3. Did some of you had experience with returning device for battery replacements from your country?
I really like device but this small nuances are making me hard to decide whether to take a chance on NC. I tried to find similar posts but didn't find concrete answer. Any information would do, thanks in advance.

Hi
I am in the UK and have been running a Nook Color since I made an impulse purchase in the US in February. I registered at B&N.com but without credit card details as you need a US billing address.
I was initially on rooted stock 1.1, then Nookie Froyo for a bit but mostly on CM7 on EMMC. Currently on nightly 161. You can't use the B&N store and can't download the Nook app either. However I use it mostly as a tablet but also have the Kindle app for books.
Charging is no problem using a travel adapter.
Fingers crossed I have not had to return it. I think that could be problematic.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend the NC.

Just in answer to some your questions as am based in Singapore. Got mine in Feb as well.
1. Have heard that you can use hotspots but have not gotten to work for me. Main issue is us credit card for me. I think it will work. I use the Kindle app with no problems (except magazine subscriptions don't work for me).
2. I just use converter on plug. Doesn't seem to be any issues (doesn't allow for charging from PC though and a proprietary plug).
3. Have not had to replace battery. Based on my usage of light reading, can get about two days. Am on cm7 nightly 151. Don't think an issue. Chances are you will upgrade before battery is a problem. For it's price it is pretty good. Don't expect a full tablet experience though and if you don't mind fiddling, it is pretty good.

Thanks a lot to you both.
What do i have to do after i buy it? I don't have to tell them billing address or could i just tell them one in my country? Do i have to register to b&n immediately or i can do that from Croatia?
Since my sister is the one who is going to USA i need to tell her every step

I had no problem with magazine subscription using Singapore issued card. However you have to use vpn instead. I used hotspotshield then. You should try the magazine subscription, the article view has make the magazine reading an interesting experience.
I had a kindle before, again I had no problem with magazine subscription too. I like my NookColor alot more than the Kindle. The color, the touch screen and the angry bird ...

Chinhuat, are you using stock nook app or are on cm build? I might try again. Maybe they have relaxed the rule.
Btw, when you first turn on nook, you need to activate. I did this in the US just in case (easier to return early as well)

My NookColor was rooted with Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 (1.0.1 Only) then. And I was able to to access both the NookColor apps and Android Market. Now I had just rooted with cm7, and still trying to figure out in accessing the BN magazine store.
I subscribed the magazine via the BN website. And the magazine was pushed down to my NookColor. And I use hotspotshield.

I had been using Hot spot shield, but recently don't get any epub purchases go through.
Makes me think they're cross checking card address with that on my B&N reg..
Anyone know of any other work around?
Cheers,

The charger is rated at 120/240v 50/60 Hz, so you only need an adapter, not a converter. It will charge via USB from a computer but that is much slower.

Thanks!!! I didn't realise that so I've been charging via USB all this time, lol. Just tried with a borrowed US adapter and it seems to work!
I originally purchased an ebay 240v 2.1A power supply but it still only charged at usb speed. This is great.

Depends on what you are using it for, mouse/keyboard/game controllers(I think) do NOT need root. A flash drive or hard drive DOES need root, in which you can use StickMount.

Haha - saw this too late. Already redid everything after rooting. My OTG cables should be here soon. I'm planning to use one "as-is" and the other one I'm going to see if I can mod into my case. I ordered a keyboard case and I'm going to shoot to find some room in there where if I strip down the cable and put a microSD adapter on it I should be able to hide it somewhere!

Thanks!
Wish I had seen your post before. I ordered OTG cables from Amazon, they were cheap but I realized too late that they were shipping from Hong Kong so who knows when I'll be getting them...

something to watch out for... due to the N7's bezel, the OTG cable i purchased does not insert all the way. since its impossible to know yourself, buy ones tried by other members. i have to buy another.. sigh..

I use the Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable found HERE, which was shown by @sleeplessninja HERE.
It is much more expensive then the generic ones but I feel it is better quality.
I use it for keyboard/mouse (use at the same time with USB hub) and a PS3 controller, I actually use a Nyko 3rd party PS3 controller and works fine. All of them work with the N7 out of the box (stock, locked, and not-rooted).

Heavy duty cable that one is. Fits fine, works every time.
Guess it's a case of "get what you pay for".

As much as I wanted to buy a cheap OTG, I couldnt wait when I got my nexus ended up ordering the Samsung Official OTG and it works perfectly with the Nexus 7, its not cheap but hey its well constructed and works.

Got the one from Hong Kong took about 2 weeks. Works just as it should. Gonna pick up a 32gig USB from micro center for dirt cheap and make this tablet limitless.

Xperia PLAY Experience Pack XP151 - 55% off (UK)

Previously listed at £29.99. Now sold for £12.90.
Code:
[url]http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/xperia-play-experience-pack-xp151/[/url]
Pack includes:
Multi media dock DK300
Pocket Micro USB cable EC300
3,5mm Music Cable MC100
3 free Gameloft games
Granted, the selection of GL games is a bit dated but when I bought one recently, the provided voucher code to claim the games didn't work (other people have had this problem) so I contacted GL support and was told to choose any 3 of the latest games for them to text/email to me. Can't go wrong with that imo :good:

Been this price for sometime, when I clicked on this I thought it was 55% off the £12.90.
>_<

1st...is it worth getting? 2nd....you mean to say that gameloft actually got back to you? Lol, that's a shocker if it was through txet/email....their costumer service sucks, especially with online games (O&C, MC)...mainly I just wanted to see if the dock and extras are worth it.

Yes it will - check your phones box , mine came with one. Any usb car charger will work with the xperia play - as long as it has a micro usb end - I've used a few and they all worked.
EDIT- Also, the dock is and has been cheaper on amazon - so unless you want to pay £3 more for the games - just buy the dock, it includes everything minus the games. The pack is also the same price on amazon.

To answer your 1st question; it is worth it at the reduced price. I needed a dock and its good to have a branded one for the sake of reliability and knowing its safe to use. Last thing I need is another house fire due to dodgy electrics.
One thing I'll warn of is that the included mini usb connector is incredibly small and made practically useless by this fact, though luckily I had some decently sized spares anyway.
Secondly, I'm no great defender of Gameloft, what with there track record of botched updates and poor implementation of games which require tons of unmovable data to be stored on the phone. But in the case of customer support, I can't fault them. I've contacted them 3 times in the past. On one occasion to complain that the update to the Amazing Spiderman broke the game for us XP users, they said that they passed my feedback to the dev team and compensated me with the Dark Knight game. The second time was because I couldn't find a previously purchased game in my account, to this they sent me a permanent link to re-download it when I want. And the third occasion was as described in my original post. In my experience they've always been prompt and courteous. On my part, I've always been sure to explain clearly what my problems are and realistic in what I expect them to do about it.

How's the dock work when there's a case on the phone? I'm using the Trident case and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone.

I also have the Trident case and unfortunately, you have to remove the bottom half of the case (very easy) for it to fit. Little inconvenient to do but not in the slightest bit difficult because of the decent design of the trident case.

Yes, it certainly does. When purchasing a replacement USB cord for the Nook HD or Nook HD+, people have two choices. One can either purchase a genuine Barnes & Noble USB cord for about $11-$20, depending on their location, or they can purchase a generic USB cord for ~ $2.99.... again depending upon their location.

Well, the participation in this forum is......... underwhelming, to say the least. I didn't expect hundreds of people to come knocking at my door with bountiful gifts in hand, but a couple of confirming replies would have been nice. But then again, sometimes I am un-realistic in my expectations.
