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 $20 as both the official dock and the g2 dock go for at least 30 on ebay.
g2 slacker, while "looks" like same port, I doubt it is. Or would work. If you need a cheap alt,
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334806828&sr=1-1
HOWEVER I should mention these docks DO NOT have hdmi! So they will charge, and seperate cable to sync. However.. a dell streak dock without hdmi.. seems silly..? I know for me.. hook to HDMI, Use BT keyboard/touchpad (and I can run dos!) or BT gamepad and I can run emulators. Thats nice on a TV. =)
The slacker dock only supports USB-IN, it doesnt support anything else on the S5/S7
Things missing from the slacker dock (that's available on the 2nd gen official dock):
Line-out
USB-in (ie OTG)
USB-high speed charing
HDMI-out
Dock sense (where the device automatically goes into clock mode)
The slacker dock has a headphone out, but the S5/S7 dont support it either (it may not have the pins for that, if it does it's different anyway). The slacker dock also has pads for USB-in, but that model was never officially made available(?).
Also I would STRONGLY recommend against a slacker dock for the S7 (if you can even find one), the S5 is a lot lighter then the S7.
The S7 barely fits on it, but it has absolutely no support besides the port itself.
The S5 already places all it's weight on the dock port, the S7 is asking to be broken by any accidentical impact.
If you are willing (or can find it at a reasonable price), I would strongly recommend the official 2nd gen dock for either the S5/S7.
It includes 2 backplates to support either model.
Also, the S5 dock in the previous link likely wont fit the S7, that's the reason the official dock comes with 2 backplates.
Your only real choice for the S7 is the official 2nd gen dock.
Oh fyi, amazon has it on sale right now for 30$ the official one.
Are we sure the Offical Dell Dock has OTG?! I can't find documentation on that AT ALL.
I've just ordered a couple of PC games that I can no longer play on my PS3 (since it died and I bought a slim one as a replacement - they're old PS2 games) and want to use the PS3 controller to play them. I've seen all over the place that it's easy to do so now I'm just left with the fact that my PC doesn't have bluetooth. I've never needed it, so it's never been an issue until now.
I just wondered if anyone has any experience with the cheap dongles that are all over ebay. You can get them for as little as £1.46 (in the current listing), but I obviously wonder about reliability and quality at that price. If they work for a year and then die then fair enough. I just want to know where I stand with them.
Incidentally, I want to do this on the cheap. I'm not a cheapskate, but I did just buy a 10" Galaxy Tab a few weeks ago and a car last week. I'm not made of money you know!
Thanks

Interesting. I didn't realise you could use it cabled as well. I'll give that a go tonight. I do still want to go down the bluetooth route for the long-term though as I just prefer to have as few cables as possible.

I Will try and find you a Good Bluetooth dongle.

Okay, Well it seems the PS3 Controller uses a "CLASS 2" Bluetooth Chip, Which means, Only CLASS 2 chips will work with it.
CLASS 1 has a Bluetooth distance of 100m (average)
CLASS 2 has a Bluetooth distance of 30m (average)
Hope that helps while buying one!

Yeah, thanks. I was aware it's bluetooth 2 - I don't think bluetooth 1 was fast enough, hence most companies' choice to go with radio instead.
Yeah, we're talking at cross purposes. You can actually mix classes, especially if range is not an issue (as it's not in this case). I was obviously talking about versions, as you pointed out.
Okay, posted several times on Q&A forum and had no luck there so I am trying here. My s3 mhl adapter that I have been using to play games etc. Via the note 2 stopped working from one day from another. It says "hdmi cable connected" when I plug in my note 2, but i get no picture nor sound. I tryed it with my friends s3 and it works. It had been working fine for about 2 weeks before it randomly stopped working.

You may need a new mhl adapter. Just in case, make sure the power adapter is plugged in to the mhl adapter while you plug it into the note 2. I had an mhl adapter for the evo 3d and found out the one for the note 2 is different. From my understanding the s3 one should work on the note 2. Have you tried it on another note 2? That may be difficult for you unless you know a friend who has one. Let us know if you figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out which one to buy on amazon.

Thanks for the reply. Ive tried everything possible and what ive come to think is that it must be software related. Unfortunetly i do not have a friend with a note 2 to try it out. Im going to my friends house to try allshare though (he has a samsung tv) and maybe ill get the dongle instead. I still would want the mhl adapter to work though so i dont need to spend more money.

Okay just found out mhl might not work with root. I used exynosabuse to root my device. That might be the issue. Anyone have a solution?
I use Samsung's MHL adapter to HDMI for my Samsung Plasma in my living room. I Use it to watch my Movies from the computer on the big screen etc. The first day it worked great but after a few days use It cuts in and out every so often. Not sure if its cause the frames are to slow or what? But if you find an MHL adapter for an S3 it WILL work for the Galaxy Note 2... If you check on samsungs site the part #'s for the two are the exact same for all models of S3 (there are like 3-5 models) not only is the part number the same for all those and the note 2. But if you are really anal you can click the link at the bottom of the description that says all compatible models. And the Note 2 will be listed there as well.:good:
Sv: S3 MHL Adapter
You don't need to unroot but you need to start ExynosAbuse and deselect the disable exploit options.

Is there a way to access dex without a dex station on note 8 with beta oreo update?
it's doable already without Oreo, there's a thread about somewhere, think you need root though
I believe the Microsoft Display Dock works too? I haven't actually tried myself though, I'll give it a try later and update as I have one from my previous phone.
Dex/Nintendo Switch Adapters
Been using this Wofalo Adapter on stock 7.1.1 for the past week. The only issue is that it does not charge the phone. Was thinking about returning it and ordering the C-FORCE-CF003 Adapter so that I can charge while using Dex, but I've read that Samsung disabled third party docks in S8 Oreo beta 4, so I'm assuming that they also have that waiting for us. Kind of a bummer becase i prefer the portability, access to the headphone jack and extra usb ports of these adapters. Might just wait to see if the dex pad rumors pan out
I purchased an adapter on Amazon, but upgraded to Oreo and it doesn't recognize it for Dex. Just HDMI out.
I have a Note 8 with December 1 2017 security Patch. I can access DeX via hdmi and a multiport usb C to hdmi connector (no DeX dock). Weird thing is that my unit has HDMI Mode under Connections Settings - More Connection Settings while others do not even if we have the same Nougat version, same firmware and same patch. Any one can tell me why? I would post screenshots I just dont know how to. Thank you.

You can't post pics yet. I dont remember how many post you have to have. But I believe new members still have to wait. Once you can, there is a paperclip by the smiley face when you write a new post. You cant add them on a post edit though if your using xda app.

Hi!!
I'm very intrigued to galaxy note 9 due to the fact it works with HP lap dock based on a YouTube video I watched..
Is anyone here having HP Lapdock?
Can you share whether the audio & USB C port on the right side works when note 9 is connected to it?
Till now, I'm using a S8 with S9 ported ROM in it, and the sound, TouchPad, and USB C port on the right side doesn't work (except for charging).
If note 9 enables all those features, I'll be gladly changing my phone again for it. If not, I'll stick to my S8 and just buy a Tab S4.
Also, here is the YouTube link I mentioned :

Yep!!
Intrigued trying it myself when my note 9 arrives!!
I really hoped the sound system works, unlike using it on hacked dex system on older devices..
I just got my Note9 yesterday and I can confirm that it does work with the HP Lapdock flawlessly. I attached a video (sorry for the terrible quality, I usually don't do videos and thought it helps confirm it with proof). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
watch?v=Catf9nqi2xE (Just made this account to reply and since I don't have enough posts, I can't post the link fully)
Everything seems to work (speakers, trackpad, keyboard, etc.). The only thing that I saw that was a little finicky was that the right/left click on the trackpad is a hit or miss so you may just have to double tap on the track pad for it to read as a click.
Edit: I think this sort of makes the TabS4 semi-obsolete, assuming you don't mind carrying an extra cable or something for charging (since I don't know the battery life using the hp lapdock - haven't tested it fully).
I have a lap dock, The lap dock confirmed to have the latest firmware T0059 - but the issue of black screen and constantly rebooting is persistent. Tried with several devices (Huawei P20 Pro, 2 Galaxy Note 9 -both Exynos, and the HP Elite X3 phone). Only with the Elite phone it worked as expected, keyboard worked fine too.
With Android devices, it was not working and although you could see the keyboard working fine, the screen kept between showing the HP logo then black screen the rebooting.
This is all tested using the wired mode and connecting via the usb-c port on the left of the lap dock. Tested also with several cables, some of them confirmed to be Thunderbolt USB-C 3.1 (Gen 2).

Hmm... it means we still have an unknown factor that made some of it works, while others don't...
My exynos note 9 6/128 still works in it (except for audio output and USB port)..

What is the part number of your unit? It seems that those starting with Y are not compatible. But those starting with V seems to be the good ones. Can you confirm? You will find the part number type on the back of the lapdock. Thanks.
