Hello I just got my TF pad today and i have a question I hope you can help me With...
when I plug the USB cabel directly into the bottom conector on the pad it feels a bit loose, I can move it a bit up and down...
but when i plug the cabel into the dock it's much more firm and can't move it so much...
the conection seems fine, but can some of you tell me how your TF PAD is when cabel pluged in..
is yours a bit loose to ???
Is the bottom connector poor on the TF PAD
hope you can help
Er, my connector isn't loose, but maybe you're looking at it differently than me. The reason it might not be loose at all when you dock it because there are the two other link thingies that keep it steady.

Hey guys, i am hoping i missed something really stupid.
But i just bought a few accessories for my TP2.
I bought an extra charger, and an extra USB connection for my Cradle, and an official HTC car charger
All marked as being for the TP2
But they have a standard Mini-USB connection on them, not the wierd little cut off corner connection that is on the underside of my TP2
wht the hell have i forgotten?
is there an adapter i need to buy or summin?
I am thoroughly confused
Thanks for any help

No they will work fine, for Data and Power transfer normasl mini-usb cables work fine, you only need the EXT-USB connector (the cut off one) for video and sound transfer (headphones etc.)
Excellent,
Thankyou very much
It' s kind of strange, isn't it. But all mini usb connectors will fit.
Not really complaining but curious if its normal. Anything that plugs into my vharger port seems kinda loose. The charger isn't bad but that is very light.my USB hookup adapter seems to fall out easy just from the weight of a controller cord. I have bent the little tabs out on my adapters but it only helps for a bit. After I plug/unplug them a few times they are back to being loose. The only thing I can compare these hookups to are my iPod and that is about double the strength. Is this normal or is there something up with my tablets port? How good does yours stay in. Can u hang ur tablet upside down by the power cord lol? What about out a window? When its windy? Seriously though if I have a USB hdd or something hooked in its a paid in the ass trying to be careful that it don't unplug.

I will be using my GT 7.7 allot in the car and likely in the landscape orientation. This puts the 30pin connector and cable sticking straight out the side.
Is there any 90 degree ("L" shaped) 30pin connectors available? (similar to a "L" shaped SATA connectors -see picture-)
If there is, this would point the cable towards the dashboard and and make the cable routing less messy looking.
I searched but didn't come up with anything.
Note: I know I could use the Samsung OEM car dock (which, I think, has the power cable connector in the back/bottom) but was looking for a lower cost option.
Thank
Any luck with finding one of these cables?

Have you had a look at my cheap solution for car a car dock and cable management yet?
I know this was posted awhile ago, but if you or anyone else is interested, the original samsung galaxy tab HDMI dock uses the same connector and works w/ the 7.7 (I know because i have a couple). You can get these on amazon for $15 right now. I believe this is the same dock for all the tabs and they just change the plastic piece that holds your tablet to accomodate the model (i have the original galaxy tab, the 7 Plus, and the 7.7 and they ALL work).
If you take it apart, the tablet connector looks exactly like what you are looking for - an L shaped 30-pin. The profile when plugged in is very thin and looks less like when you have the actual car charger cable plugged directly into the tablet.
I've attached a picture of what the cable end looks like. The nice thing is if you keep all the electronics intact, there is an area in the back that the car charger cable connects to pass power to this cable as well as a 3.5 jack for your auxiliary audio connector. Once you lop off the plastic tablet holder part, you have a bare ribbon cable that you can cover in black electrical tape and you just have to mount the pod onto the back of a hard tablet mount and plug your power and auxiliary audio cable into it.
Dear rEVOLVE
i liked your idea the most and i already ordered the dock, but i have a question, my ordered dock has HDMI output as well, so can i do some electronic modification Like this DIY USB OTG cable to connect USB hub to it in the same time as well, so finally i got i charging 30pin port, auxiliary 3.5 audio port, HDMI port, and USB port???
thank you
hi
I need some of help with power plug for galaxy tab
look at this http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1931227&p=-1&#bottom
anybody got any ideas?
I saw a pin out and link to the male and female dock connectors in the orig transformer q&a section. I am thinking about what I can do with them. Some ideas:
1) make a small adaptor from the dock connector to micro USB.
- I understand that charging is slow when connected to a regular USB charger, but I already have like ten of those around the house and in the car for our phones.
2) create an audio/charge only converter from the Asus connector to the iPod connector. I have a speaker that has an iPod dock, and friends/relatives have other accessories for iPods.
- I was thinking of cannibalizing an "ipod dock extension" cable, and connecting one of these mouser plugs.
3) make a cradle or dock, and include the dock connector. I don't plan on buying the keyboard for a while, so this might be a good way to make something out of wood, that lets me charge the tablet, while being able to keep it visible.
I just ordered my tp, so I was wondering what you thought would be useful and what I don't understand.

I managed to drop my prime whilst it was connected to the dock & on charge. It landed on the power connector and has damaged both the usb cable and the connector in the dock itself. Luckily the tablet seems fine. It seems that the connectors are fairly fragile.
Does anyone know where I can get either spares for the dock (main pcb I guess) or a complete new dock, plus usb cable? I'm in the UK.
As an aside, this is my 2nd prime. The first was a CO2 and had wifi issues (as well as gps) and was returned. The second is a CO3 and so far has been much, much better, although I have only had it 2 weeks.
