Hi,
any1 knows how to find (eBay preferably) an Hermes 100 full housing replacement?
I've got a Vodafone V1605 and so an Hermes 200 housing but i prefer Hermes 100 one.
You can easily find the not real display units for the 8525 on ebay. The only difference between those and a real one is the lack of hardware and the missing front camera hole

Sorry but i didn't understand what you said. I had to buy a mock-up of a 8525?
And for the camera hole?
This is what you need; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-Housing-f...oryZ3728QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Thanks man! That's what i need!
I've found somethinf similar (but dopod branded) @ http://cnn.cn/shop/htc-8525-c-277_322.html
But including shipping I think that your's cheaper.

I bought one of these "display" units and they are NOT the same. They are much flimsier, the back door is fused on which means you can't take it apart without breaking it, the keyboard sliding mechanism is looser and not designed for repeated use, all of the buttons are fused to the outer case and are not real buttons, etc.
Do NOT buy the 8525 dummy case as a case replacement, I guarantee you won't be happy with the result.

Thanks dude
Has anybody bought either of these? I'd be interested to know what the quality is like (I've bought a replacement for my wife's nokia N73 and it was very poor compared to the original...) Are they as good as the originals?
Also, I have a vario II which has a different button layout on the front - would the dopod example on cnn.cn still work with mine (I much prefer the button layout on that one to the vario one...)
Thoughts please everyone
Cheers,
Smiffy.

The different key layout is only in the outside but inside the PCB is the same.
I'm looking for Hermes 100 housing only for esthetical reason.
I like very much the look of Warhawk, at&t version of D2... I haven't find that housing on internet. Do you know anything about it?
You'll probably have to wait a couple of months after the release of the device to see housings appearing on ebay
Can I ask why are you looking for the housing ? - according to pdadb, topaz and warhawk are not the same, not in dimensions and not in harware - so it would seem that topaz hardware won't fit in warhawk's housing.

What makes you think the hardware isn't the same...a look down the specs suggests that aside from a few minor points like leaving out the FM radio receiver and a higher capacity battery the hardware is identical. The dimension differences are small enough to just be due to the different housing I would have thought - seems a fair chance the two housings would be interchangeable?
I saw that there are two major differences, one the camera, which is 3.2MP (but that is not a problem for the housing), second the upper led near the speaker - our Topaz has two and the Warhawk has only one - that might be a problem for the housing, not the led itself, but the fact that this area is different.
I sure hope you can still do switch, the Warhawk looks nicer.
I have heard that android have multi-touch capablities but are not nables by the original manufactures but thre are some roms that can activate multi-touch.
Is there anyway to activate multi-touch for the LG GT540 (Optimus)?
Because if there is such a thing it would be EPIC!!
Hi there Wantei -
No, there isn't a way to activate this on the GT540 - the screen hardware doesn't support multitouch. No go sorry.
well maybe software way but not hardware wise
My understanding - and I may be wrong - is that the screen simply can't register multiple touches. If that is the case, it's not something that could be unlocked in software.
GT540 have TFT resistive touchscreen. THere are 2 types display - capacitive and resistive. The lastone cant preform multitouch.

There is no way software wise to activate multitouch cos hardware does not support it, as NIxana stated above, and to further elaborate, capacitive touch screen uses electrostatic field and human body as conductor to register movement or a touch, while resistive touch screen uses 2 electrical panels for registering touch gesture.
On resistive its like having two planks of wood parrallel to each other. Press on both sides and the center will go down.

Nope , back when i was using the Asus P320 , multitouch was viable on it's resistive screen , mind you , i am really using two fingers , far from each other .
And there are 4 wire and 5 wire r touchscreens , the only difference is more touch points and longer longevity , 4 or 5 years .
Capacitive screens won't work with a "stylus" or neither when your hand is cold .
And they only last 2 years
Resistive screens are harder to produce but it's whole point are its longevity .
It looks like LG used the 4 wire because it has faster response time .
ww.jawal123.com/-695467753/en-us/asus-p320
explain this, they say it's impossible to have multitouch on p320... and i'd really like to have multitouch on p320, but i'm not sure is it possible with this screen.
software should be able to work, its a pressure detection screen, if they used the software to detect to points of pressure
the lg support told me the gt540 supports multitouch.
he told me it works, too!
stupid people (LG) ..?

what du mean longevity????
bollocks load of rubbish
i have a touchscreen phone that is 8 years old and thats a resistive screen so, your saying it should have stopped working 3 years ago?????

Not actually "stopped" working.
Expected "durability" for 4-wire resistive ts is 3years and 5 years for 5-wire ts.
As I said, expected durabilty as per info from Mass Multimedia Inc., a Colorado-based company selling ts technology.
Got 4 himalaya since 2005 all working ts.
I got an old(2003) resistive LCD ts for our company kiosk but still working good.
Look at the Nintendo DS. Since '05 still good.

I belive the gt540 can do multi touch because sony Xperia X10 is the same tecnology touch
see this and let's make same kids

Could this same mechanism be used in Android?
today I wash changing my case since i dropped mine and the keypad got caught on the edge and the ribbon ripped. I ordered a new one but was wondering if theres any hardware emulation software. I found zmooth but it requires android 2.2+
Hi all
Please help me. I am getting really confused with ME400 specification.
Especially with those few listed below:
- Does it have Wacom stylus support?
- Does it have Gorilla glass?
- Does it have full GPS?
Additionally what exactly is in the box?
Mini USB to USB adapter? Any other cables?
How does it compare to Dell Latitude 10 Essential? Is it worth considering?
I am almost ready to buy it (if only stylus is supported), will it be a good choice in this price range? I am looking for iPad replacement not laptop replacement so docking station is not essential for me.

No, you want the Vivotab 11.6" version.
No, scratch resistant but not Gorilla, or else they would proudly advertise it. Most likely, it is a corning glass like what Nexus 7 got but not Gorilla.
Yes, full GPS but good luck figuring out what app that uses it. I haven't found one.
You get the tablet, USB-AC power adapter, Micro USB to USB cable, and I got some small documentation. That's it.
Dell Latitude is only 32GB (which is probably about half usable out of the box) compared to the Asus 64GB (half usable). Dell has gorilla glass. I don't know if the Asus is 5 touch multi or 10 touch multi but Dell states there's is 10 touch.
Dell has slightly bigger battery, and a 802.11 dual band card. Asus is single band (2.4ghz) wifi card.
Dell looks to have proprietary power charger. Asus chargers over the Micro USB port.
Asus is plastic build, Dell looks to have better build quality.
Asus has micro SDXC slot, Dell is full SD.
Dell is slightly heavier (80g) than the Asus.
Dell removed the mini HDMI port, Asus has this
Asus has micro USB which requires an OTG adapter to use USB devices, Dell has a full size USB port.

As far as i know, all vivotabs are corning, no matter which version.
Even the vivotab 11.5" which has the stylus is corning.
Just did some research, Corning is Gorilla Glass.
Hmmm the highest model the normal vivotab advertises that.
According to this the smart is also corning, but cannot verify.

Thank you very much for your answers. it seems that Dell is quite good choice.i need to check if they they offering it with 64gb as well.
One more thing how about Wacom stylus support withMe400? For example styluses from Samsung Note would they work? I found on Asus Web page that Wacom Styluses would but it was mentioned in Smart Note description so I am asking for first hand experience as on their page it could be copy /paste from 810 description for example,
In terms of Vivotap11,6 do you mean TF810? If so, I was looking at it and if ME400 is supporting stylus there is nothing tempting for me. I don't need docking station and already have bluetooth keyboard. 9.5h is more than enough for me. and price is 1.5 time of Me400 I really look for iPad replacement and laptop experience is not my requirement especially if this drives price up. on the paper both devices share similar specs processor, memory storage.
Can you advise what else beside docking station and larger display TF810 has to offer?
Wacom stylus are active, ME400c only can use passive stylus. There are some that are fine tip (JotNot comes to mind) that are passive.
TF810 is the one I was referring to, yes.
TF810 has active stylus (Wacom) support.

Is this confirmed information? Did you or anybody checked ie Samsung Note styluses? As this suggest that there is error on Asus page:

SuperNote
SuperNote is a versatile multimedia note taking app that allows users to input & share through a variety of options: use your finger to draw, the Wacom stylus to sketch and the mobile dock to type. Include photo and video captures, or even audio notes.

Please can anybody who has this device to confirm this in use. I have to be 1000% sure as this would be a deal breaker for me
Send me a wacom active stylus and i'll test it for you.
As it is, it does not have a digitizer so the active stylus won't work. Wacom does make stylus for capacitive screens without a wacom digitizer installed (which the 810FC has)
If you look here, the specs for the 810 show a wacom digitizer, the ME400c does not

@caudex
Corning makes Gorilla glass but also makes glass that is not Gorilla. Simply associating any glass made by Corning to be Gorilla glass is incorrect. That's equivalent to saying that since Chrysler makes Hemi, that all cars Chrysler makes have Hemi.
The Corning glass used by Asus in the Vivotab RT and the Nexus 7 are Corning Fit Glass. They are advertised as scratch resistant, but not as Gorilla glass.
Asus advertises the Vivotab 810C as having Corning Fit, not Corning Gorilla Glass. ME400c only advertised as scratch resistant.
11.6“ Ratio: 16:9 ( 1366x768 ) LED Backlight screen with IPS
Scratch resistant Corning® Fit Glass, anti-fingerprint, Super IPS+
Thank you guys for all answers. Now I have to decide if I can live without active stylus.. I will need it only for note taking and some sketches so this Jot stylus could do the trick.
What are your opinion on Acer W510 vs ME400 as price is almost the same (if you add keyboard and cover to ME400).
Also is there a point waiting until MWC 2013 to see what premieres will take place?
Is there any technological revolution just behind corner worth waiting? Any new atom processors sooner than Bay Trial? As if I got it correct this one is due to be released late 2013 so devices with this chip will hit market early 2014.
Thanks for helping.
I just got an ASUS vivotab smart tablet
Are you sure that the ASUS micro-USB port would work with an OTG adapter and it is not just for charging the tablet? THANKS

The Acer is pretty nice, not a whole lot different than the Asus, though they are slightly different prices here ($100 more for the W510, no dock). The $100 price difference in favour of the Vivotab is the main reason I bought one over the Acer.
You could wait but if you think you're going to get a faster processor for this with the same battery life, it won't be until closer to q3/q4 if anything when they release Bay Trail, the upgrade to the current CPU. Don't expect Haswell to be it, at more than 4x the TDP for the lowest power chip. Same with AMD. The main thing I would like to see is either more storage space for the same price (possible) or a faster drive (mSATA or the like, not eMMC). I suppose USB 3.0 could come but that is probably for Bay Trail as well.

Hi all
Thanks to all your replies I made my decision. Knowing all of the above I know way to expect and hopefully I will not be disappointed. I am going to buy ME400
Is there any case you can recommend? How about Vivo RT cases? Will they fit? Dimensions are almost identical. How the rest? Ports? Cameras? Speakers?
Are there any issues or problems you have faced?
Dead pixels? Yellowish spots? Rattling noises? Bad speakers or anything else to pay attention for?
Thanks guys
I haven't found any problems with it. Windows capacitive button can
I normally use headphones but my son has used it for his videos and no problems with the audio. I'm not listening to them for audiophile reasons, they are just tinny speakers after all.
I have'nt found a case yet, which is frustrating. Amazon is showing moko cases coming out in 2 weeks.

I was looking at this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/IVSO®-TF600...OMAW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1360184082&sr=8-2
It's for tf600 but its dimensions are almost identical to me400.
Now waiting for me400 to be back in stock. Btw I ordered screen protector for tf600
My ME400 arrived home yesterday and today is going back. It has a flake or dust under the glass. Looking closely you can see that it's kind or shard pressing screen itself.
Do you have any problems with Me400 screens?
No problems with my screen. Opened a white/black powerpoint presentation in slideshow mode to check for stuck pixels or anything under the screen.
Soon I will have "faulty-LCD-Fobia" this is second ME400 I have. First has the dust under glass and now second has sligh light leak in the left bottom corner (but I could still live with it) but the two bright spots I won't tolerate.
They are actually much more visible in reality than on the photo. I cannot really explain what they are. They are invisible on black background. White or bright background make them visible.
You can call me Mega-jinx but I have been replacing my iPad 2 nine times due to dead pixels. The 9th is perfectly fine.
With ME400 I hope NOT to break this record.
Keep the fingers cross.
Guys,
I'd like to know if someone can share the drivers and BIOS (newer) that received by Asus Live Update?
I'm trying a lot of times to get the update but the asus live update can't work anymore.
Thank you!
I got my 3rd tablet this time (touch the wood) is perfect
Regarding to bios - its updated itself via asus update but I have no idea if or where it saves those files. Tried to find it without sucess. Sorry
I have a Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 2.
The stylus DOES NOT work with the ME400. Like previous posters have mentioned, this is not a wacom digitizer tablet. Passive stylus is the way you have to go.
OTG cables work, waiting to confirm that Micro SDXC works in this device. However, posters in another thread have confirmed this.
In my opinion, Vivotab RT cases should work fine with this device. Nearly identical with minor differences. If anything, the RT has more things to consider regarding cases. Keyboard doc, additional speaker, dock lock slider switch etc.
LOVE my 400. Had it about a week. Use Onenote (Home and Student edition) which syncs perfect on Skydrive across my other machines, Got a free Outlook 2013 from my exchange server carrier, and the battery is fabulous. I bought the Moko Slim case and Ink pen/stylus on Amazon which now comes for the 400 for a perfect fit.
Only suggestion I have for new users is to go to Display setting and turn the percentage up to 140 - 150 so your fingers will work on the Desktop mode easier, and better on the eyes.
Pefect cross over machine for me for business and casual media reader.
USB works perfect with the dongles, even a USB hub. Only wish it could charge through the hub, won't work.
I'll leave photoshop my my nice fast desktop with the 26" monitor.
