I ordered the xperia tablet 3 days ago from bestbuy and got it today. While waiting forever for it. I opened up the box r looked at the screen and it was in good condition good thing also the screen is a little smaller than i thought it be. Seems more like a wide screen then full. So i turned it on and the start up was pretty slow and then it greated me to the time set up and what not. I noticed the battery was low so i decided was going to charge it. So i went to take of the cover thing that blocks the port well this little gray piece came off and the rest was still inside the post. The was no way of taking it out with out for. I also noticed a dent at the bottom edge of the port. So i decided to return it and order a galaxy note 10. I dont feel like dealing witj sony even though. I love them. Just the screen size disappointed me and the port thing.
the only good thing i got from it is my 3 free movies.
i'm looking for a hdmi cable for my tf300 (so i need a micro hdmi to hdmi cable)
on amazon i saw this one has good reviews but it's kinda expensive considering it's too short. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004286VMW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A1DCPNQKKEISZB
but other cheaper cables have review like "after a few days/weeks of use it broke". so i'm not sure if the one above is worth price, should i buy it?

I have that cable it is works fine, if 6 ft is to short for you get an HDMI coupler and use another HDMI cable to make it longer. I have done this too.
Look here for coupler:

Well, there you go.... Enjoy!
Now I remember the tablet aspect ratio is 16:10 but my tv aspect ratio is 16:9. So what's gonna happen?

changes the tablet to 16:9 actually, meant for normal HDTVs. oddly, output to my 16:10 monitor is wonky, only seem to get 640x480 or some garbage. sad as its my tv/movie screen.
using the cable i bought with my Droid X2, was $20 when i got it, works fine, 6ft

so when i connect the tablet to my tv using the cable, the tablet will automatically change to 16:9?
and i forgot to mention that the main reason i want to see things on my big TV is because i want to watch youtube videos, everyday there are many videos that update news,... (like cnettv, theverge), and i just figured out i can't turn off the screen while watching with hdmi, because if i turn off the screen then on tv the it's just going to be black too.
so what's the point of using hdmi? i have to leave 2 screens on when i only need 1, that will drain the tablet battery, won't it? i think i could save battery if i can turn the screen of the tablet off.
any solution for this?
Any cheapo one will work, I got one for like $2-3 on Amazon and it had worked just fine since I got it months ago.

5.1
Any one how makes 5.1 Dolby Digital out of the TF300? I cant get it with micro HDMI cable.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/Asus-Transformer-Pad-TF300.htm says
The TF300 can output 3D content to a 3D TV over HDMI and it supports 5.1 audio out over HDMI. 5.1 audio worked fine in our tests; in fact it was much more reliable than the finicky Prime.

Did you try playing games using HDMI? I have my Samsung galaxy SIII HDMI and when I use it like playing Racing game output in tv is a few seconds late so you will end up crashing a lot...:cyclops:
Anyone have try gaming using big screen and any recommendation of a good quality HDMI cable? I'm planning to get the 10 feet that nooktablet gave in this link.

Yes I play riptide gp on HDMI with my tf300 and it run smoothly really fun, and I use that HDMI cable. I have tried other games like extreme skater, jetpack joyride, (which are not racing games) and they run smoothly too.
FYI, that $9 10 foot HDMI cable is really long enough for me, and it's a micro HDMI to HDMI cable
I recently got a $7 25 foot HDMI to HDMI cable for my computer. I mean it's very cheap, $2 cheaper than the one for my tf300 and 15 more feet longer and working awesome. So maybe you can find one for your tablet really cheap
I just bought this 15ft HDMI cable and It'll be interesting to see how well it's made. I'll post a review when I get it. :good:

I can't wait for your feedback so I bought this from ebay. Bought it last Monday and got it by Wednesday, 10 FT and Gold plated, right fit in the tablet and TV and long enough to sit my tablet to table and I can sit comfortably to our couch. I notice a few screen flicker last Wednesday but yesterday none. I can say I can play videos/youtube without any lag but for games I can say ok, it's somewhat blurry for RipTide when you use nitro but for NFS Most wanted it's fine. sound was also great I can really feel I'm in the race.
Can you try the same test for racing games especially riptide? thanks!

I don't own Riptide bit NFSMW displays perfectly. I've been considering purchasing Riptide. If I do I'll report back and let you know.

If you have a screen shots of something to do with your nabi 2
Post it here .
Othere might like what you did and want to know about it .
ok so here are some of my screen shots
Everyone has seen mine but
My blur on the Pokemon slider circle of the oshewat or whatever he's called, my son isn't around to ask, looked better in GIMP then it does on Nabi screen, too obvious aliasing on it. Hello Kitty one turned out nice though.
You should be doing some Nabi themes for us
i Rember those they look cool. i remeber when i first came on the forum
i was looking for acer A500 and saw some of the things people were doing
I was like you can do stuff like that to the tablet? *SWEET*
this my boot up screen ...lol its a bit cheezy but grew on me
I did some tinkering with a few apps and came up with this
I'm pretty sure I can do the same thing on nabi 2 and the jr
or any other tablet
http://youtu.be/aDwp38wvf8k
http://youtu.be/a_nDabvzUlg
this is my nabi2 now .
Haven't seen this thread up in a while.....
Here is mine modded with even the keyboard as well ( not shown ). I like the RED/clear/smoke theme. Still working on getting a nice icon theme or complete theme for the tablet.
This one is my screen on my way home from work at night. My dash and Stereo light up red at night so I have my Nabi2 doing the same. I use Bluetooth for music to my Stereo from my Nabi2 as to why I have a Graphic EQ going on. My Stereo has a smaller EQ going on as well.........
DarkAngel those pics look hot. thanks for sharing .
If you ever have time could you show a small video of how you use it in the car?

I like your Nabi bootloader. Something I have been wanting to modify on my Nabi. I have been trying different ones for now but have yet to make my own.
I can show you what I use to mount it with, no modification to the nabi2 at all. It was just pure luck that I tried the mount I had purchased. The back part of the Nabi2, where the KINABI letters go have several rows of which the KINABI squares grip to and have an edge to them all, a ledge I guess one can call it.
The mount I used uses an attachment from which it mounts the universal tablet holder. After looking at it for a bit I just slid the mount attachment hooks through the KINABI tabs and to my surprise it gripped the tabs surprisingly tight. ( you will not be needing the telescoping/expanding grip tablet holder, just the mount ).
We all know how the back looks like.....
This is what grips those tabs like hooks gripping tight.....
I bought the one ( made to attach to the headrest posts ) with the dual swivel joints off ebay. There are many although I don't know if they are made exactly the same from the tab/hooks to attach the Nabi2. I tried looking for the one I bought and I can not find it in my history at all.
I will get installed pics as soon as I can including a video. I use a Pioneer DEH-X6500BT. I love using PowerAmp on my tablet and other devices as I have full access on controlling the music thru my Stereo's controller including video as well using Rock Player2. Now I could hook the Audio 3.5 out to the Audio 3.5 in on my Stereo but I only do that when I run the Torque App via Bluetooth to monitor things on my car but then I loose controllability through the Stereo but I use another Bluetooth Game controller when I have to for that.
Sorry I never updated.......
Video may be NSFW ( NOT SAFE FOR WORK ) ..... or for your childrens ears as there was some profanity.....
( Big Pun - Not A Player )
Here is the short video. Mind the music and the wording on the screen. It was playing at the time when I had left the car and I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics and screen wording until I finished it.
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/20EVOLUTION01/media/Nabi2%20In%20Car_zpsf6p4kmsi.mp4.html
Here is how it's mounted.
OMG that so Sweet
the night time View and colors just makes all new and Different
I would like to do that in my car but I tink the mice would try to eat something from it ...lol
thanks for the video that's my first inside look of a set up like you have .

No Problem, your welcome. There has been more tweeks here and there with the color on making more things RED on the screen but for now I have it how I like it. Using Next Launcher as well and so far I like it.
Limited Edition Black Nabi2 !!!!!
LOL JK....
Decided I didn't want it white like everyone else's and wanted something one off. Although there will be a Nabi S that will come in Blue, Pink, Green and Gold mine is Flat Black. I also removed, shaved, and smoothed over the small holes where the red Nabi circles on each corner go. Just a simple looking Nabi2 tablet. Retained the rear KINABI holders as I use it to hold my tablet on my car.
haha looks cool
Did you have to use a special paint?
to make it tough do u need to add a clear coat?
did u have to take it apart to paint it?

Thanks. You can use any paint you want really. I happened to have flat black and flat clear coat. I did use grey primer, also to help fill in the small scratches and pits left from filling in the holes. Was very careful not to over spray right between the screen edge. I did take the Nabi2 completely apart to paint it. Only part I could not remove was the screen from the plastic, it's on good. I taped up the screen with blue painters tape and carefully with a sharp utility knife I cut right in the groove at the edge of the screen. The knife followed the groove perfectly. Here are some pictures.
nothing as fancy as what has been posted before..
Nabi #1
Nabi #2
Lock Screens look good. One of the favorite movies out right now my daughters love. Zedge App has a lot of Ring and Notification tones that will go good with the theme and are free if you have not done so already.
found this the other day and just ordered one..price was right and it looks good, but takes awhile to come from overseas..

Just got it today, so it didn't take as long as I thought..
It looks exactly like the ebay picture, and the fit and finish is very nice as well. It comes with an insert that you can remove, so you can put a slim case on your phone, and still keep it in the dock, or leave the insert in and put the phone in "naked". It comes with a USB cable, but NOT a charger, which is fine with me, as I have so many cables and chargers already.
For the money, it was WELL worth it; this dock, with a "name brand" on it would be at least 29.99 or more, so for 16.99 shipped, its definitely worth it, if you want a desktop vertical dock for the phone!
hey @wase4711, Look Google listened to you
Neat: Google Search v3.2 Finally Enabled Google Voice Search Instead Of The Old Voice Dialer With Bluetooth Headsets
PS: did not try it on my phone yet & did not find your bluetooth thread lol
I'll let you know when my first royalty check comes.:good:
Horizontal dock options?
In a perfect world there would be a horizontal (aka landscape) dock option for this device, but I haven't found it yet. Has anyone else had any luck?
ahhh i was hoping for the charger feature!
So I cracked my screen on my note 4 and bought a new note 4 off ebay it was a "for parts" one. But the screen looked fine so I took a chance I put my motherboard in and it seemed to work... but I noticed looming at any picture and video on it its ended up being really blurry...everything else looks fine like icons and whatnot. But yeah any media ducks bad and youtube won't eve. Let me put the video quality past 1080p... I got a bunch of screen checker apps and they all say the resolution is 1440 so I'm not sure what's up... the 's pen doesn't work rather which usually means that it's knockoff... but on the inside it still has that copper layer behind the screen that is for the s pen... also the cables and chip connected to the screen are identical to my regular not 4....it does not look fake...is there any chance that this is some software glitch or the plugs are dirty or something or does it seem like I got a knockoff screen. ..the whole phone looked brand new just hard to believe it's fake especially since all the markings and hardware seemed idental on both phones...I'm so confused.. plz halp meh...
