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.
Worst nexus device ever.

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.

Haven't Google announced that Chromecast will work without a WiFi network in the last google IO?

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!

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.

If the link does not work, google exynos 5 dual white paper."
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:

Exactly. It's in the Nexus 10 section. Now, I'm not saying it's definitive proof, but it at least means that their online documentation does imply it'll have it.

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.

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.
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.

cool, source?
Canonical today announced ubuntu for tablets which gives more clarity about their plans for the whole eco system. It will be available the same day as they release the phone version for galaxy nexus and nexus 4, february 21. The cool thing here is IMO this:
http://youtu.be/h384z7Ph0gU?t=5m4s
Obviously they show this with the asus padphone in mind but then they show how it also will work as a desktop OS, and further on a media center. So Ubuntu will have 4 different "skins" depending on the usage situation. Imagine the S3 with ubuntu in combination with MHL/allshare + bluetooth keyboard and mouse or most preferably the official multimedia dock giving you USBOTG and MHL simultaneously and this finally will be able to make the S3 (and other phones) the one-device-to-rule-them-all that I've been hoping for since I got it in june.
What I don't know is if there will be problematic with the exynos sources not available, can anyone shed some light on this?
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.
I'm really pissed of with Google, it seems that their ways to stop us from using what they doesn't want is by killing what we use...
My Nexus 5X already died into the bootloop issue, and today I've just seen that the Nexus 6P is having the exact same issue, which they say as a faulty hardware (Really? 2 completely different brands, with the EXACT SAME ISSUE? You must to be kidding me..).
This is not the first time that Google is killing what we use.
I'm a user of Miracast technology, since marshmallow it wasn't present, but you could activate via a build.prop tweak if you are rooted, in nougat they introduced a bug (yes, intentionally), that the phone will crash If you this tweak and connect to the tv, forcing me to buy their Chromecast 2.
This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..
The Nexus 6 has also had something similar with it's notification LED, which can be activated only If rooted..
Now I really don't know what to do, I'm thinking of downgrading to Marshmallow before my phone got into bootloop, and not having another paper weight on my desk.
The only thing i can assure is that my next phone will be an Galaxy S8, and not another Google Crap phone.

I agree. It is getting ridiculous. All of the reasons we love the Nexus line are becoming blurry. Miracast is a huge one. Smart tv, Xbox One, and now I have to have a damn Chromecast as well. I'm starting to feel like Apple users must feel. Poor souls.
I don't understand. My Miracast works perfectly fine with Panasonic TVs and LG.

Given that the 6P has a metal build and that no other metal phones(from the top of my head) have Qi charging, I would assume it was due to the the metal build. And in regards to saying that they are just trying to sell "Fast Charging USB C solution", wouldn't you think that they would generate more revenue from implementing a convenient way to charge a phone?
Based on your opinion and what you had said, it sounds like the S8 is the perfect device for you. It's so great to have a plethora of device choices!

Oh, didn't know that.
But I totally understand you.
Google played a "good guy" comparing to Apple for a few years now, and I really saw this coming. Basically they're just the same. Profit, profit, profit.
You want to cast? Buy a Chromecast.
I really wouldn't be surprised if their Project Fi gains success, and they decide to lock their future devices to their own network.
Nokia years ago was really something else, but it was in the way of the American capitalism so they had to remove it from their perfect market picture.
