[Q] Nexus 7 vs Asus Transformer TF300?? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am at cross roads between the Nexus 7 or Asus TF300.
Currently i am proud owner of Galaxy Nexus and totally love it.
I like to read articles, blogs, Movies, Videos online on my phone and therefore looking for a tablet with a bigger size than GNex.
Transformer TF300:
The pros i see in TF300 is that it is expandable with keyboard dock, USB, MicroSD, MHL support are a Big Big plus for me.
using MHL i can output stuff to my monitor something i do with my GNex every now and than.
Nexus 7:
The Nexus 7 felt really well in my hand and since i use GNex the experience should be pleasing.
The problem with GNex is lack of MHL (big one) and lack of MicroSD, SD support, no keyboard dock going forward.
Both have Tegra 3 and same resolution.
So what do you guys think?? is the Transformer TF300 experience the same, smooth and painless as GNex, Nexus 7 or is there a difference.
Should i go for Nexus 7 or TF300.
Thanks

Nexus for fast and prompt updates..

I Googled, Youtubed Slimport and Nexus 7 and nothing came up.
So i called Google tech support and the guy i talked to told me that it HAS MHL, I told him it doesn't
He went back and checked/asked someone and agreed it doesn't, than i asked him to check about SlimPort so he put me on hold again and asked someone and they said it doesn't have SlimPort.
I know the Nexus 7 will get better updates and is a lot cheaper, but with no microSD, no SlimPort and MHL which are important for me, as of now i am pretty inclined towards TF300.
I will head to Sam's Club in a day or 2 to check them out side by side as that's the only store where i saw both tablets in close proximity.

USB Dongle... where is it?

Anyone know when this will be released? Asus announced it months ago but I have yet to see anything.
Basically it's a small adapter that gives you a USB port without using the dock.
Vapor. Imaginary. Non-existent.
Some suggest ASUS refuses to sell it because it might put off dock sales.
In two weeks I will give up waiting.

Certainly, not with me.
We should all start emailing them. If the next tablet has the same connector, we're bound to see it soonernor later.

Get used to the lack of accessories. The biggest problem with Android is we will never have the variety of accessories that you can get with apple products because we don't have standard ports and locations on Android products even from the same manufacturer. This is my biggest gripe with Android.
For example, my Nexus One has a great car dock and desktop dock but guess what? You can only use it with the Nexus One and no other HTC phone. This seems to be the way for every Android product, only proprietary accessories that don't work with anything else.

Just wondering , but do docks and cases and stuff for the iphone and ipad work with previous/newer versions? I wasn't aware they did
According to ExcaliberPC, it should be released around 8/17.

Cases no, docks yes. Take a look at any generic iPad dock. Like this one:
http://www.brookstone.com/idesign-p...atId=L3_iPodDocks|L2_iPodMedia|L1_Electronics
...and look at the compatibility list.
I'm not trying to give apple credit for anything, I personally can't stand them. But, I do see why third parties aren't jumping to make android accessories, such as docks. You make one for apple, it is automatically compatible with a variety of product. You make one for android, you're making it for one device or you have to make multiple versions to accommodate multiple devices.

Realistically though, just about every android phone uses micro usb. It wouldn't be hard for someone to make a somewhat universal dock. Maybe we should start requesting it.

I completely agree. I really don't understand why there aren't micro usb docks out there. Make it just like the friggin apple one, but slap a micro usb on it instead.
....unfortunately wouldn't help us with out transformers. Damn proprietary connectors!
This is a big let down.
im not paying a $150 dock for a USB slot...
get your act together Asus. Want to compete with Apple?.. Then wake the F up.
Make your product more appealing to developers, buyers.
Samsung's adaptor is $20 right? And its been out i believe.
I second that, would it kill em to add one full or even a micro usb slot to the next model so people don't have to buy the dock! I guess that is the only real advantage of the Iconica over the TF, but the TF is still king in my book.
If micro then we could buy one of these, but I would prefer a full usb port though.
http://www.amazon.com/USB-Micro-Ada...U6/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1312507238&sr=8-13
This may be a stupid question, but has anyone tried a male/female USB cable with the charging cable and a flash drive? It wouldn't surprise me if it worked. Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't either.

Using a female/female adapter works for some devices. There's a list around here somewhere of tested devices. The main factor is probably the device's power consumption, as with most portable devices that have host mode.

Didn't it occur to you that asus could have purposely delayed the manufacture/sale of the usb adapter in order to entice/force people to buy the keyboard dock?

I know the dock is a marketing ploy of ASUS " is just business " but they are acting like Apple now!
Yes, I too wish we could trasform..no pun..the micro sd slot into a usb port but I don't think they make an app/adapter for that

No Miracast for N10 stock update

From the updated Anandtech N4 review:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6440/google-nexus-4-review/4
"...at present there really aren’t any Miracast standardized receivers. I tried a Netgear model which was pre-certification but couldn’t get the Nexus 4 to attach, although I’m told Netgear will update the NTV300SL to support Miracast by mid-December. I’d expect that the rest of their lineup will be ready around then.
"Until we have Miracast sinks everywhere there’s really no way for me to test how this works on the Nexus 4. The Nexus 10 doesn’t include Miracast support, I’m guessing because of memory bandwidth reasons possibly involved in scaling and encoding 2560x1600."
As far as I know, only Netgear PTV3000 is pre-certified. Has anyone tried with that?

Correct
No Miracast in N7 3G (or plain N7) either:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/googles-nexus-7-gets-a-fresh-coat-of-paint-for-the-holidays/
"Android 4.2 on the Nexus 7 has no major surprises: all of the features we mentioned in our review are here, with the exception of Miracast (which is only supported on the Nexus 4 for the time being) and the new camera features (which are present if you install a third-party camera launcher for the front-facing camera). Multiuser support and lock screen widgets, two features that weren't ready in time for our main review, are also here, but we'll be examining them more closely in a separate article."
Miracast will be available after the update. Which happen last night. Now all you need is a receiver to do the handshaking. The netgear one would do and after it is on you wireless network you would just stream to it like you would a windows media extender. By 2013, so early next year tvs once they start calling them smart tvs :cyclops: will have this feature built into it. Here we come google tv. wouldnt that be sweet to have a nexus 60 inch tv?? or bigger.
n4, n7, n10, ntv, n60 maybe?? i see it happening.
Just to be clear to any readers out there, whether or not there will be Miracast support for the Nexus 10 is unknown and anyone stating otherwise is speculating. What is known is that there will be Miracast for the Nexus 4, but no official reports from google have come out for the Nexus 10.
The hardware support for wireless display looks to be there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34038283&postcount=19
Copied from Exynos 5250 thread -
"Came across this while researching Exynos 5250. Looks like the hardware is very capable to handle the WQXGA resolution with memory bandwidth and power to spare. This white paper also mentions the support for 1080p 60fps wireless display. So I hope Miracast will be reality as well, just Google needs to step up and utilize the hardware to its full potential. Its an interesting read none the less..
Sorry, can not post links yet.. replace _ with . and then try.

Here's another piece of evidence to support that it's coming to the Nexus 10 (found this from another forum). On Google's Nexus 10 Support page it mentions Miracast. Scroll down to the Wifi-Direct section:

I phoned Google Tech Support this morning and asked if the Nexus 10 would have Miracast functionality "out of the box".
Tech guy couldn't answer for sure and promised to respond back to me later via email.
5 hours later, amazingly (to me anyway), I received an email back from him stating that he got clarification on this question and that, yes, Miracast is good to go "out of the box" on the Nexus 10.
I still won't believe it until someone with a unit confirms it.
Miracast is basically just a superset of WiFi Direct, doesn't require any additional hardware on the broadcast device...if it can use WiFi Direct, it can do Miracast with the proper software.
So I'm not worried about it being on the N10, if the software isn't there just yet, it will come.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
Yeah, I had called them and asked them too. He had no idea what Miracast was and so I explained it to him. He said he'll have to ask his supervisors and put me on hold. He came back and said "Yeah, you can stream and watch movies on your tv from your tablet and stuff." I said, "Yeah, but specifically Miracast...Does the Nexus 10 support Miracast?" He then said that's more of a hardware question and I'd need to call Asus. Asus huh? Interesting. Are they taking Samsung support calls now. I just ended it there knowing I wasn't going to get anywhere.

My understanding is that while the capability might be there if Wifi-Direct is there, it still doesn't mean that it will be Miracast certified and thus might not be supported by Android.
http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/19/wi...certification-just-dont-expect-apple-to-play/
FWIW, I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, which supports Wi-Fi Direct. I also have a Netgear PTV3000 WiDi/Miracast capable adapter. My phone sees the adapter, but there is no mirroring to a display.

No, just sharing that a WiDi/Miracast capable adapter recognized a Wi-Fi Direct device, a substantiation of Croak's earlier post.
I'm now of the belief that the reason we haven't heard something official from Google is because the Nexus 10 has been submitted for Miracast Certification but is still under review. Makes complete sense. They can't say it supports Miracast until it passes Miracast Certification. They don't want to say it doesn't because they think they'll ultimately get the certification. So for now they just stay silent. Whereas the Nexus 4 has already completed Miracast Certification so that one they could officially announce. Perhaps the same reason they've been silent on the Nexus 7, which being that it has a Tegra 3 in it and Nvidia says Tegra 3's have built in support for Miracast and are working towards certification, should mean that theoretically it is capable.

That actually makes a ton of sense. I also read somewhere that Netgear is working on updating the software on its PushTV3000 to support the Nexus devices that have Wifi Direct/Miracast. They hope to have that done by next week, apparently.

[Q] Looking for a STICK PC.

Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a stick PC in the $70 price range. I do not want a box or puck. My main concerns are WiFi and Bluetooth. Multiple USB ports is a welcome addition. I've read about the MK808b, MK809 II and the Neo G4. I'd like to know if there is any better alternative that provides stable wifi. That is my first priority and I don't mind sacrificing Bluetooth. I definitely want a MicroSD card slot, not TF slot. Also, I don't mind tinkering with the stick, though I'd like it rooted out of the box. I don't necessarily want custom ROM support. And yes, it should be a minimum of 2 cores.
In points:
1) Stick, not box
2) Stable WiFi
3) MicroSD
4) Bluetooth (OPTIONAL)
5) Multiple USB Ports (OPTIONAL, but minimum 1)
6) Rootable, or pre rooted.
7) Ability to connect a USB Hub, if there's only one port.
Looking forward to some great suggestions from the community!
Probox 2
I also came across the Probox 2 Ultimate that seems to be a very good alternative, although a bit more expensive. It also comes with an air mouse. But it is out of stock almost everywhere.
so can anyone suggest a decent air mouse too? I'm really looking forward to buying one of these..
Feedback
Do someone has any feedback in regards Rikomagic MK802IIIS Bluetooth ??
In amazon says is a new 2013 version, FCC compliant.
I would recommend the Minix Neo G4...
I have just ordered the G5 box because I wanted the extra usb ports etc.. And Bluetooth.
This was on the strength of my friend demonstrating his G4 and mk808. The G4 was an awesome machine for such a tiny box.
I couldn't see much difference in performance against my galaxy s3.
Have fun playing with your new toy when you decide which one to go for.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I ordered the Minix Neo X5. It excellent build quality and a ton of ports. and it has a lot of support on the web from Minix and there's forums out there too. You can root and put a custom rom. Out of the box it does now output full HD though. It up converts 720p. The Finless ROM does force full HD, but it shouldn't claim it does full HD. I ended up returning mine when I started thinking how close other better options are coming, t if you need one right now this is the best probably as far as features go.
Pretty much any one will be awesome to play with. I'm waiting for the Onya simply because I like the multiple controller support out of the box.
Curious about the comment about the G5 and the MK808/G4 comparison. What did the G4 do that the MK808 was lacking (obviously Bluetooth)?
But these are awesome little TV companions. YouTube, internet, Netflix, Hulu, emulators, games, etc. Lots of options.
I personally have an MK808 and it runs everything I've thrown at it mostly games / light video. I can't recommend the bluetoothless model with the MK808B out now. Lots of devs working on it.

If I were you I would wait a couple of weeks more for the new Rikomagic Quad-Core stick!!!
Hopefully they got rid of all the WiFi problems in the previous models, and the software upgrades and community support is pretty good!
Check the specs here:
Code:
rikomagic.com/en/news/shownews_id_22_nid_5.html
Also, if you use Skype a lot, you might want to consider a stick with a built-in camera, like the Kimdecent B12!

kimdecent.com/minipc/125.html
I'm now personally waiting for the Ouya as well after returning my Minix X5. I started thinking I will get an Ouya anyway and then any other Android box will collect dusk. Also, for the simple fact that you can use a controller out of the box to control everything without any troubleshooting or workarounds. and is guaranteed to have more support than ANY other TV box. If you absolutely need an Android stick right now, get a cheap one $50 or less, because you'll surely want the Ouya once it's out for only $99 with a controller, full HD and tons of support.
My minix x5 arrived a couple of days ago and I am delighted with it so far. .. I can appreciate the appeal of the Ouya especially for someone not comfortable with rooting, flashing, fiddling etc. But if the x4 is as good as this but in a stick form then I stand by my original recommendation.

Like you I'm very interested in Ouya but my fear is that you will be locked into only the apps/channels they offer. Of course it will be rooted in time but I'm looking for something that will allow me to watch all of the streaming companies such as Netflix, Hulu, Directv Everywhere, HBOGo, etc. Playing better games with the support they will offer is great but it will be interesting to see how locked down it will be.
Also I'm curious to see how GameStick goes once it releases in a few weeks.
Me too...:thumbup:

Slimport/MHl doesn't work (Confirmed by Google)

Hi guys,
I just received a few hours ago my Nexus 9 and I checked both, Slimport and MHL but doesn't work. The Slimport device works fine with my Nexus 5 and my TV but the Nexus 9 doesn't work.
Cheers.

I'm very disappointed with this issue...
Maybe could be a problem with the inside configuration of my Slimport, I had notice that some Slimport works fine in some devices but doesn't work in others due changes inside micro usb port (different cable connections).
But still.... In my Nexus 5 the Slimport works absolutely fine....

somehow it seems you hit the nail. i was very waiting for the nexus 9 and i am so disapointed what i see about it that it makes me really sad. this device is so full of wrong decisions, irrational design flaws and build quality issues that i am nearly speachless. and then it is quite expensive for the few it offers.
it is quite "interesting" that the nexus 6 PHONE gets 3GB ram, upto 64GB rom and the 64bit os nexus 9 only 2GB and a zram swap using 512MB to gain a little bit by compression >.> and then it seems to have some issues with otg, lack of micro hdmi or slimport etc.
i don't get it. what's the point htc? trying to debut as the worst nexus manufactor ever?
Terrible. This is the final nail in the coffin for my "should I get the Nexus 9" decision. Glad I got the Shield Tablet at release and will stick with that for a while now, probably until Nvidia release their next tab.
I have a Google answer about this but I can't post links after 10 post
In google groups, in product forums go to Nexus 9 and find mi post named "Nexus 9 and Slimport doesn't work"
They said to me that the micro usb port doesn't support video output.
Hi guys,
So if I get everything right that means : the new Nexus 9 doesn't have wireless charging. It doesn't have support for MHL nor SlimPort.
OK : maybe it's really handy with a Chromecast key... but that's a foul limitation.
Chromecast simply does not work when you have no Wi-Fi.
I'm a professor.
I teach at University.
I want to be able to show .ppt presentations to my students.
But I don't always have a network, or the LP to the University network.
So, I just can't do it ? While I coudl do it with my Nexus 7 2012 ?
That is a huge step backwards... and I think for that simple reason I won't get the Nexus 9 but will try to find a nice N7 2013 LTE instead...
Chances are, I'll have more functionnality and pay less than the half !
The real sad thing about that is that the "Nexus Legend" is vanishing... Not fading, but melting like a snowflake in August !
Bye Bye Nexus... Loved the N4, loved the N7 2012, loved the N5...
Regards.

Hi,
Well, it might be.
Shall investigate this further.
Anyways, I don't think the Nexus 9 will make it to my door : too expensive for a feature limited tablet.
Regards.
Likely just not a popular thing to have. I have a slimport cable that i just never used for the past year once I got chromecast. Now i understand I'm not a professor with that specific need. if that's a deal breaker I'd just return it get a 2013 N7 and spend the $300 you save on something else. maybe a shield tablet. Tablets, tablets everywhere!

[Q] any offers for Nexus 9 LTE ..

I have plan to sell my Nvidia Shield tablet and buy Nexus 9 LTE .
Despite the low price of Shield tablet but there are some drawbacks .. Specially the poor WiFi signal and lack of accessories, and really it well
Are there any offers for nexus 9 LTE ?
Mostly I'm going to use it for taking notes , how is nexus 9 with Stylus ? Any suggestions and experiences here ?
If i can get the WiFi version, do I can use 4G usb modem through OTG cable ?
I can't quite tell what you're asking here, but you are not allowed to buy/sell/trade on XDA anymore. You may use your login/password on Swappa.com
As for your other questions, maybe someone with experience can answer
The Nexus 9's K1 doesn't have the Direct Stylus tech from the Tegra 4, so using a stylus will not be the same. I have a stylus that I tried for an art app, but the precision isn't there. As for writing sentences, you'll have a hard time drawing clean letters.

Your better off going with a Samsung Tablet if your looking for a Tablet to use a Stylus with.
