what do you mean.
You can buy a micro usb to hdmi adaptor on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Micro-USB-HDMI-Adapter/dp/B005NG71K8
I would also like to know if it supports slimport
It doesn't work with my Micro-USB/HDMI (MHL) adapter. I don't have Slimport to test.
I have a slimport on the way... arrives in two days however. If know one can fill us in i will post a follow up.
Seems like a silly thing to omit from a device.

Yeah, just tried as well, it's a no-go
This tablet has quickly gone to "skip" for me. Build problems out the wazoo, random heat issues hot enough to damage the battery, and now it can't even do HDMI?
Screw you, Google. Guess I'l stick with my nexus 10 for yet another year.
Same here...

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.
This is a major bummer

Just received word that they ARE being produced for us. Rumor is that they should be done in about 10 days. If they in fact are, I would assume i'll have them available just a few days afterwards.

As soon as I get ANYTHING, I'll be sure to post something! I wanted to at least throw this out so that we were aware that there are people working for us.
Is there an option for a BT KB with a trackpad? That would be sweet.
This will be thrown up on your "store" before you leave it out to the "masses" right??

The word as of this morning is that the 1st sample is being finished. I am supposed to be receiving pics withing 24 hours and that sample is to be shipped to me for a review and to share
Great, I eagerly await the results!
I could really have used it this evening: went to a talk at a local Google campus taking my g-tab with me and had to improvise with my USB keyboard and a regular faux-leather folder so I could take notes.
I was actually envious of a couple of iPad users with their smart-looking folio cases and that's just wrong on so many levels.
** Edit: Apparently my g-tab was envious too: it went into an android.process.acore hissy fit after I got home.
Nice, I am interested in the keyboard/case combo too. Can't wait to hear about the quality.

Thanks for the update, Steve. Any idea on an approx. price? A BT keyboard is a nice to have for me, so the price difference will likely make the difference between whether I get a usb one or the BT one.

I'm looking forward to this. I just bought my GTab last night from sears online. Haven't even gotten it yet and am looking forward to this product.
Here's what I did today: I clicked on the "Escalation Mail Box" Contact link on the Asus support website (http://vip.asus.com/eservice/cus_suggest.aspx) and I asked them to release Transformer USB/Charger cables to the US Market. I explained how much I liked their devices; that I own both the TF and the docking station and how worried I am to only have one cable that could get lost.
Here is the reply email I received:
Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for supporting and using ASUS products!
Your comment has been received by us and is currently in process. We will improve and as a treatment, you can reply through the link to check the situation. Thank You! [link to open ticket]
If everyone writes in, maybe we can demonstrate a strong enough user demand to get the most essential accessories out on the market.

Just did the same. One cable with no spare is not cool...
The guy who sells the FolioGuard stuff, xjarl I think, mentioned he got his hands on the 40pin connector and asked in the general thread what he should "do" with them...but the thread got buried super quick.
I thought a million people would ask him to make power cables but...

If anyone can hack together a substitute cable it would be him. So, if there's a guy somewhere who can get the connectors and there's a guy here who can determine which pins we need to wire to a standard USB cable (or charger or whatever we need), then we should put those two together.

Just sent my request as well. I have the Radio Shack charger wall wart w/adapter but I'm very nervous about not having a dongle that fits the TF's port.
Guess I'm spoiled - a week after launch there were adapter galore for the Galaxy Tab on ebay.
I'm hoping the free market will save the day soon here...yikes!

I tracked down xjar and messaged him about 4 days ago but no response so far. That connector is the holy grail, find it and I'll be able to make a GRIP of cables and accessories.

This situation is really irking me. I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gotten a different tab is only to rectify the accessory situation. These adapters should only be costing like 5 cents to make. I don't understand what is going on here.

Oh I'm specifically just thinking about their charger cables. I *hate hate hate* that I only have one. As far as I can tell the only places you can buy them they are like $40. Ridiculous IMO b/c that sort of thing should be pretty cheap. That is a pure profit item, if it were even in stock in the first place.

My bad, I thought it had the wrong connector but when I zoomed in I see it is at a bad angle. $40 buck is a little expensive, especially considering it is defective.

This is one of the better ones I've seen, not just because it's generally favorable, but because the dude seems to know what's important in a modern device and what phone freaks like us want to know about them.

You're right, of course. Sorry for the oversight.
Looks like a solid review..still some concern about the camera tho. It seems a mixed bag when it comes to video record. Some people say its excellent some say mushy. Same thing with call quality..anyways Friday can't get here soon enough
I've got my preorder and am pumped to get this phone! Even if the 3d isn't perfect, I really don't care. The phone looks sweet. Plus, I'm still using a Hero so I am ready to get rid of it. So slow and laggy. Can't wait! Nice review!
So, we're capped at 60fps on this? I would bet that the score would be higher if it weren't capped at 60.
Or is the benchmark itself capped (Quadrant)? I see the SGS2 also capping at 60 during the tests.
Or, is this a limit of the display itself?
One of the review screenshots clearly shows HD 1280x720 video capability.
Atleast there's 1080p playback. I'm sure there will be a fix from HTC since the hardware is capable of it. If not, the devs will do their magic

Yes but that 720 p ..our evos can do that now. albeit not very well..I don't really care as long as it does it well..1080p on a phone isn't much of a difference on a phone screen

I didn't think there was an issue with the 720p recording, it is the fact that it cannot do 1080p (1920x1080) 2D recording.

With the videos not looking as good as i had hoped for at 720....1080 isnt needed. Praying for some type of "less compression" for faster memory cards or something.
By far, THE BEST review I've seen for this phone.
This is not due to ANY kind of opinion from the reviewer, but simply due to the attention to detail given to the review. Even if the reviewer HATED this phone, it'd still be the best and most detailed I've seen yet. Looking forward to checking out this site more often.
Why is this the first and only review or place that I've seen this mentioned
PhoneScoop Review said:
Lastly, using an optional MHL adapter that’s plugged into the handset’s microUSB port, we’re able to watch 1080p videos stored on the handset directly on a high-definition television set. Not only that, but you can get a mirrored experience as well, which brings the handset’s entire platform experience onto the big screen.

True! I have asked a question about ten times on the same subject but never got my answer. My question was for developers about adding Onskreen Cornerstone but never got one response. I also had a question the other day about adding support for an app called 2nd core to the Gingerbread kernel but never got a response. I see a lot of "Know It Alls" in our forums for the Note. Everyone starts complaining when people ask questions instead of answering. The worst is when people keep tellin others they are asking questions in the wrong place but still offer no help to people. Trust me there are lots of smartasses over here that know nothing at all but think they know everything, it cracks me up. The crazy part is they make threads about showing screenshots of your homescreen lol and quadrant scores lollol and get a lot of post about this meaningless **** but can't or won't answer a question. I could car less how peoples phone looks and I hope they realize how corny they are for wanting everyone to see their homescreen LOLOLOLOL. One day I made a post about a Note clone and because I told people to google "Note clone" they got mad as hell. Like its hard to search. They were mad that I didn't post links to pics and videos. It turns people off from contributing when people are dicks. One monkey ruines the show for everyone. I have also seen threads where people would respond to a question but the only thing they would talk about was the typo the OP made like they don't ****up too. IDIOTS! By the way I don't have mhl but maybe you could ask a friend that has a known working HDMI cable to let you barrow it and try it for an hour and if it messes ip then its probably the MHL adapter.
what rom are you running? I used my adapter that came with my infuse when i first got my note and was still running stock with no issues at all. Video was perfect and sound as well. This was running on a 56in hdtv.
i have not tested the adapter with any other roms that i can remember, it has been a while since i have needed it. Try a different hdmi cable as you said it may be your problem.

Do we know if the Nexus 9 will support Wireless Charging?
I came to the XDA forums expressly to ask the same question.
But I would say this: *IF* the Nexus 9 happened to have Qi charging capabilities, I would've thought that this would have been included in all of its promo materials: the video ad, the photos, the press release, etc. So since there is no mention of it, I fear that the answer is no :crying: (I'm praying to be wrong on this one)

That is exactly my suspicion as well. If there is no Qi charging, I would consider that a step back in capabilities from the Nexus tablet platform point of view.
I was really hoping it would be included bit it seems as though that wont be case. The promo materials for the Nexus 6 mention wireless charging, but it's suspiciously absent on the Nexus 9.
too sad if Qi would not work ! :crying:
So no Qi, but i iust watched a video where i think i saw a micro usb port on the side of the tablet?
Im thinking with something like this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008F...165_QL70&qid=1413519170&sr=8-6#ref=mp_s_a_1_6
It would be a good way to play and charge without ruining the port?
