When i plug in my MicroHDMI cable, it is very loose, so much so that if i don't hold the plug in one direction, it will disconnect and reconnect over and over and over again. I have to push it to make contact. very annoying and very sensitive.
anyone have this problem? maybe it's the cable? I really hate how they designed the plugs onthe curved side of this tablet, and that it had to be a micro hdmi instead of mini
Can someone please try their micro hdmi and tell me if this happens? Also which cable are you using?
Yes I noticed this too. I'm using a rocketfish cable from best buy. I've ordered some adapters from monoprice hopefully those work better

Yes -- thank you very much for asking. This is one of six reasons I sent my TP to RMA department. And it gets worse the more you use the micro HDMI. I used it about 4-5 times over 2 weeks.
I don't know what they can do about it though. But it's just another stupid design flaw. Add it to the list of complaints.
Anyone else noticed this problem? Just wondering if it is the receptacle or the cable. And what could be done with it.
I get my cheap micro HDMI cable in on Thursday and will report in
Mine was loose as well.
I think its prob a normal thing on the TFP because of how its so curved on the edges. Overall the TFP is great although as i keep "testing" this, i keep finding small things that i dont like. Im finding it disappointing considering how pumped i was unrapping it.
Got cheap cable from Amazon and it was loose so I sliced a little off the top edge and it fits and works great now.
I just kinda beveled it a little to match the contour

not a bad idea. i was considering making a similar kind of fitting.
TF201 | XDA Premium
funny, i thought of the same thing two. i had bought at 15' cable (cause what's the point if it's just 6') so i can use it from my couch. the first one was ultra loose. but i got another one that came tonight that is MUCH better, not perfect solid but completely live-with-able. maybe it's just the cable plug. but on either plug i noticed that the plastic end of the plug does not hit the tablet. it seems to bottom out on the connector first. so notsure how beveling my cables would have helped.
anyways... thanks for the comments... makes me want to say, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DO MINI-HDMI!
Think the problem with loose cable is the same you can feel with the charger connection and any other stuff you connect to prime
Prime have curved edges. If you look at the cable when it is connected you can see that there isn't any support for the cable on the backside. On the front it looks right but turn the prime over you can see were the problem is.
This can bee notice with the usb-adapter to, that sits really loose because it seems to bee to short. And there isn't any material that support the connection just because Primes curved edges.
Think this is a big failure from Asus. And that they not going to release adapters and cable that are designed for Prime. instead we have to use the same accessories from the first transformer TF101.
got my micro HDMI cable from Amazon today.
It fits all the way in, but does feel "loose", but I get full picture and sound comes out of both my speakers. It doesn't feel loose enough to fall out, and I had a blast playing Shadowgun and GTA 3 on my TV with my Xbox 360 wireless controller
One thing I noticed is that it still displays on both the tablet and the TV at the same time, is there a way to turn off the main display and only display on an external device?

I'm wondering if it covers all buttons and what the bulk is.
looks like it.

doesn't cover any of the buttons hence the cut out shown on the top there for the camera button. You can also tell the darker area where the volume buttons are so there is a cutout there likely too or its material that will be soft to push.
Looks a lot like they took the material and design of cases like the case-mate barely there case and just put a kickstand on it.
Now what would be even better is if they could just do it with the battery door instead of an actual case for those that like to leave their evo out of a case.
I for one hope Sedio can make their active case with one built in too as thats by far my fav case on my evo. pretty rough on my phone and like the grip. The otterbox ones looked lil too bulky for me too.

Too bad it forces the Evo to sit on the side where the charger is. Can't charge and use kick stand at the same time.
I'd still buy it though, I like being able to see my notification light while lying down.
I like it a lot.
Not saying it's going to happen but I wouldn't be surprised if htc made the case with a micro usb plug inside that routes to an external connector that's not hindered and available on another side other than the bottom when in landscape mode.

That would be very nice, wouldn't it. But I doubt if they'd do it, since it cuts into their stupid dock sales. But we can hope....
Usually when I use a kickstand I charge the phone at the same time (having a game on by my side with Wimax on, while I work, so need power).
I still think they should have built it in. My main concern is the combo USB/HDMI port. How do you charge the phone while using the HDMI out feature? Mirroring the screen consumes a lot of battery. To me, that is worse than not having the kick stand built in.

Really? So the HDMI cable can carry the digital signal out from the phone to the TV and an electrical current from the TV to the phone to charge it at the same time? I didn't think HDMI plugs were designed with simultaneously charging a device at the same time.
Are you sure about this? I'm not being combative.....I'd just like to know more. I really hope you're right.
Edit: Nevermind.....just found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/28/htc...lity-without-an-hdmi-port-thanks-t-mhl-video/
Awesome, but:
"The only downside to MHL is that you must have the technology inside both the phone and the television, but the company behind it has gotten the likes of Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Acer and more to back it. These are major television and handset manufacturers and if they start incorporating MHL technology into all of their televisions you can expect the rest of the industry to follow."
So now we need MHL compatible TV's to be able to use this feature? That I don't like.
Hope I can find a way to check if my Vizeo 50" has it.

There will be a way to charge the phone while using mhl with old tvs.
Its an adapter with hdmi->micro usb and one extra micro usb

Well, is not a HDMI, is a MHL port.
You need a TV that is capable of MHL charging, if not it will be only a HDMI funtion and it will not charge.

yay a kickstand case. I think I'll buy a 3rd party case when they come out, I'm sure there'll one that flips the evo to the other side, that way you could still charge it and have a kickstand. It'll be annoying to me, a right handed person, but for lefties and everyone who needs charging while using the kickstand, it'll be perfect. Plus this case is kinda meh
the kickstand case is a must-buy for any evo3d owner

Greetings all,
I saw this auction, and am honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone bring it up here. I'm honestly curious about it (specifically, how tight it fits), so I'm wondering if anyone is willing to bite? I already bought a different case through the same seller, so I'm strapped to purchase another one, but if someone picks this up and reviews it, I wouldn't mind selling my current one for this bad boy.
Anyone??
When I bought my G-Tablet it came with this case/keyboard combo. Here are some quick thoughts on it:
-its a great combo and does exactly what it needs to do
-build quality of the case is pretty good, materials feel a tad cheap
-stand on the back is VERY useful, held to the case with a magnetic enclosure
-tabs that hold the tablet in place are metal, tablet is held loosely in place on 3 of the four sides, it IS possible that it could slide out if you carry it wrong
-hidden magnet in the "spine" holds the USB plug in place
-keyboard keys are a little small, some keys are tightly crammed into the bottom right hand corner (. , / and shift plus direction arrows)
If anyone has any specific questions, just send me a PM.
Notice the tablet they are showing is not the Gtablet
You can buy these on Amazon for about the same price, if you don't want to mess with an auction.
I ordered one and it was shipped really quickly. It is about worth what you pay for it. It feels a little cheap, but the keyboard seems well-made and sturdy. The keyboard works perfectly fine (Vegan) and it is pretty easy to get it hooked up. The only potential problem I see with it is that there is nothing other than the clasp at the top to hold it in. I certainly wouldn't turn it upside down.

I mean granted. But they had the other G Tablet case that doesn't have the G Tablet shown in pics, and one of the XDA board members showed it off, and it's a nice, snug fit.
i purchased this case directly from the sellers website. i used it often. it is china-based, so i did wait about 30 days for delivery.
i am completely satisfied with it given the price.
Do not buy
This case looks and feels really cheap. It is made from shiny plastic. You will have to remove the metal tab that is on the left side of this case to access the USB port. It doesn't hold the gTab secure at all, it will slip around a lot. The keyboard is plastic and not silicone so it will constantly rub against the screen.
There's already a thread here that people have been discussing this case for months and it is a piece of junk.
Ordered and returned two of these
Each case with keyboard I ordered was defined as specifically made for the Gtab, but in order to use the usb port, I had to bend the left tab out of the way. Each vendor did issue a refund.
I thought the case was ok, and the keyboard worked fine. But having to adjust the tab was unacceptable.
I' m patiently waiting for the bluetooth keyboard and case to arrive at electroniccrap.com.

i got it . keyboard works very well . But tablet doesn't fit tight and you need an other cable to connect from keyboard's cable to g-tablet's usb ^^ it's not really good
Here is a video review of this case made by moi.
Before you roll on the floor laughing at my Asian accent, damn it I'm trying the best I can.
Ok, here it is.
I recieved mine from Amazon a few days ago. Tablet didn't fit in it at all until I bent the Tabs in to hold it better. And you still have to be careful that it doesn't fall out the end. Turns out I don't think I'll use it that much at all anyway, since I mostly use my tablet on the job site. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard, you're better off spending a couple of bucks and download thumb keyboard.

Bluetooth keyboard support is "iffy", at best. Good luck though.
I have one that I got a few days ago from Amazon.
I am not having any problem with it fitting correctly, so it may be that they are just not very consistent.
You do have to be careful about it sliding out the one side when carrying it around and the one clasp does cover the small USB in port for connecting to a computer.
In my case the USB cable had no problem reaching.
The kick stand is a nice feature.
All in all am find it useful but it does have some short coming, so it would not be for everyone, and there are probably better ones out there, though for the price and am happy with this unit so far.
Case/keyboard on Amazon
Newbie here. Got my gtab a week ago and have been looking at this case/keyboard combo. Am I crazy? I thought these were $30-$35 a few days ago. Now $127.50?????
[I tried to post the link ..... but newbies can't.]
THAT ...... is no bargain.
And a big thank you to all who post the good info here!
I just received mine from an Amazon seller...they said it was the Gtab model...
It doesn't work. I plugged it in...can't figure out how to get it to work.
Anybody have any ideas?

Did you plug it in before booting up the tablet? It seems to not work sometimes if you plug it in after the tablet is already booted up.
Just got this case. nothing but praise:

That worked...I now have a G-TableTop
I got one of these but it was the one marked for Apad/Epad/Gtab so needless to say it doesnt fit exactly but it wasnt a big deal. I am not having to many problems with the case in any way infact my stylus clips on the band quite nicely. I have noticed that the caps lock doesnt seem to work but thats another issue for another day.
Anybody find another case?
Been checking this thread and I am wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard/case? I would appreciate a link if you have found one. Thanks.
I found it on Amazon and it looks really nice
Have anyone tried this ?

I don't think it'd fit our phones well. our usb port is not centrally located on the phone, so I would think it wouldn't balance correctly and would tip.

It's too bad the Atrix has its USB port on the side. It's inconvenient for docks and car mounts.
After looking at this I got an idea. Seems like what your buying is a plastic half-pipe (so to speak) with a detachable USB cable. If you can find it for cheaper buy two of them. Then glue them together really good so it looks professional. (Hot glue works best but be careful cause it gets messy sometimes.) Then take out the USB from the left one. Voila you have a long USB dock that supports the Atrix.
I need a long HDMI cable to connect to my TV from my sofa. I found this one on Amazon with good reviews. However, the black plastic part of the microHDMI plug looks quite bulky and I'm wondering if I can plug it into the Primes socket. Anyone had any experience with such plugs?
Yeah, that will work fine. The plastic part never actually goes into the Prime, only the metal tip.

I bought the micro HDMI adapter on amazon that is listed in the Ultimate Accessory Guide post:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C4SHQY/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
And then bought a 15' HDMI cable for $0.81 from Amazon as well. I prefer the adapter approach as this way I won't have a really long HDMI cable that I can only use with my Prime.
So I recently picked up some USB cables but, I found they are a little loose. The best cable that I have used is the one that comes with the Nexus 6 and presumable their similar flagships. I'm a big fan of how tightly it plugs into both ends. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick some up (cable only) or a similar option that makes a nice tight connection with the device and type A port because, the aukey ones I bought are a bit loose fitting on both ends.
I love these. The detents on the plug give a satisfying dull thump when I insert it into my phone, and they lock firmly. They look great too. It's a shame they'll be pretty much useless next fall when I move on to my next phone which will most certainly be USB-C.
