there is a method to enable multitouch on my ideos?
i've read about the screen is capacitive and not resistive maybe there is a software block to disable it
anyone have a solution?
reagards
Impossible due to HW limitations. Soneone simulated it on a Kaiser (tilt) but was pretty useless.... Hmmm maybe it was on WM and nit Android， can't remember.

It was WM...I remember trying it on my TP2...not really an upgrade at the time.

this is interesting because some programs seens to "detect" when i perform a multitoutch, like if i press 2 points on the screen it give me back a midle point on the screens, dont it means that it can see where im clicking on 2 points on the screen?
It just detects it like one giant finger-press.
..it gets the median.
Basically you have a finger the size of a fist
I'm thinking of buying this tablet and did some research and found the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_kg96ZX6yA
At about 2:20 mark, it seems there is multitouch but as the quality of the sound is not very good I can't make out what he said.
Does anyone know what the person says at that point?

That's a video of the new Huawei tablet with a capacitive screen. It should be out soon. See the description below the video: The new Huawei Ideos S7 second generation Android tablet phone showing off its phone function, Google Maps A-GPS locking and playing the Angry Birds Seasons game.
Thanks. Didn't see that.

Hello from Spain (sorry for my English)
I doubt that between A500 and Transformer.
I'm surprised that the forum Transformer many cases of errors and failures, and in this forum I have not seen thread discussing these or other faults.
The Acer does not fail?
Many errors appear to be of Honeycomb. In A500 not occur?
Asus users are more sensitive?
Thanks
Not sure. I get a fair number of FC with the built-in apps & even things like settings, but they usually work the second time.
In general I tend to think it's Honeycomb more than the device, but that's pure guesswork.
So far the only things I'm actually unhappy about are the troubles I'm having getting HD video files to work, and how darned SMALL my Droid feels after playing on the tablet for a while.

There are Sleep of Death issues, as well as the screen constantly flickering on (when off) for no discernible reason.
Just curious, if anybody else having problems running xda devlopers website. Not the app, but the actual website, click the forum section and see if its scrolls smoothly.

I do not know but I do not have any of these problems that a lot of people are talking about on here. I get an occasional FC but thats on apps that arent made for tabs. I never get the off and on screen. I love this thing. It really blows the rest out of the water, I will probably get an asus when they get more just so I can use both for a couple of days and then make the decision that fits me.
I have had more issues with the acer then with the asus.
cons
Sleep wake up fails
charge wake up fails
Screen turns on by it self
screen quality vs asus
lots of sound when putting pressure on the back of the case
video play back issues but all tegra 2 devices have this
no usb drivers for x64
Pros
usb port
I' eagerly awaiting some updates if not I may return to get Asus transformer

The Acer usb driver works fine on W7 x64. I had no problems installing nor using it. Do you have Vista x64?
What kind of pressure are you putting on the back of the case?
Why does this screen bother you vs ASUS, out of curiosity? Do you have the ASUS? There is ALWAYS going to be something better. Get the ASUS - something will better it in weeks. If it'll make you happier, you should exercise your option, as someone who has spent their money.
Dead Pixel = Sad to have to wait until tomorrow to exchange
So I found my first annoying flaw with my Acer Tab. I had the tab charging while at work today, and when I arrived home, the tablet was frozen. I had to hold down the power button to get it to reboot. Upon reboot, I noticed that there is a dead pixel on the bottom center of the screen. I'm too picky I know, but it bothers me enough that I will be taking it back to Best Buy tomorrow, but I am hoping to exchange for a new one, I am sure there will be no problem exchanging and I also have the extended warranty. Any one else have any problems with the acer freezing while charging?
Yeh this happen to me I set to charge last night, woke up was frozen restarted but no dead pixels

I read somewhere that the Iconia won't be receiving updates until June. But I could be wrong.

I have server 2008 r2 with xendesktop running win 7 virtual pc both running x64. I tried at work on win 7 x64 and it won't install. Gives no error. I does work on my wife's pc and its x64. I think it has something to do with domain connected pcs.
If I grab it on the plastic side's then it makes a popping sound. If I grab it by the back it's fine.
The viewing angles and color contrast is better on asus but the acer has awesome screen compared to older tablets.

So you advise Asus rather than Acer?
Here in Italy Transformer costs 100€ more than A500!

sounds like a permissions issue on the pc you're trying to run it on. I ran the driver install just fine on the two computers I run at home, both W7 x64 and can see the A500 when it is connected. I do get a driver failed to install if I reboot it while it is connected to the PC. I'm guessing there's no driver for how the USB displays itself during boot (not sure what the exact device my PC saw, it was a couple days ago). I might try again tonight when I get home and see what driver it's looking for. I think it had something to do with MTP?

That's surprising! In the UK, the Transformer is £70 cheaper (call it €80) than the Iconia.
Are you sure you're not looking at the bundled keyboard version?
Regards,

I respectfully suggest most of the issues some may be seeing are due to apps not working well with Honeycomb. Not all, but most probably are.
I may turn the Acer in for a Asus because of two things: 32GB option and the option for the keyboard (that will also be an extended battery, knowing that there will be just keyboard options at one point for the Acer). As for the user that mention "noises" when picking up the device, I don't know, but with mine I know I have to really make an effort to create any noise when picking it up ir even just holding it in general. I have had it since day one launch at BB and have been very happy with the quality. My only fear if I decide to keep it over the Asus really is the XDA support that the a us seems to be getting more than the Acer right now in the development section compared to the Acer.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for tablet advice. I am a high school math teacher who teaches using SMARTboards. If you've never heard of this, it's basically a giant white board that is also a touchscreen (picture a 6 foot tablet mounted to the wall). It mirrors the PC in my classroom (via a projector mounted on the ceiling), and allows lots of fun interactive opportunities with my students. However, I am stuck at the front of the room with my back to my kids a lot. I want to change all that, so I want to buy a tablet to control the PC (which in turn controls the SMARTboard).
What I am seeking requires a tablet that could take over a Windows XP PC (wirelessly I assume - we do have WiFi access). Any suggestion on good apps for remote access would be appreciated here, but also I want to know this - would this system seem to be a good one with the Nexus 7?
Do you guys think the screen is large enough for this sort of application (solving math problems with a stylus, and this would be projected onto a large screen for my kids to see)? Or would you think a 10" screen would be better?
Also, would this idea work, technologically? WiFi access of PC... this should allow writing on the tablet to write on the PC... SMARTboard would then show what I'm writing since it is a clone of the PC screen... I just need to make sure that I can easily control programs remotely from the tablet.
I know this may sound like a mess, but I really want to do my homework before spending money I don't otherwise NEED to spend. My smartphone (EVO 4G LTE) does all I need right now, but this would be a toy that I can also use daily for work. Thanks for any input you guys have! Feel free to ask questions if what I said didn't make perfect sense. I just know that XDA is the place to go for tech questions, and this is an awesome community.
Check out this app called Jump Desktop on the Google play store, might be what you're looking for.

Splashtop 2 is really good, works great with my computer.
A 7in screen should be fine if the app in question can zoom, or you dont mind less space.
I notice that with my remote desktop it doesnt matter if im zoomed in unless i try to name a file, or if im using photoshop to paint.
Realvnc for the win !

I would imagine the smartboard uses its own software, could you list the boards make/model? We might be able to help out a bit more. Otherwise you'll just be connecting your tablet to your computer via remote desktop and then using it to control your smartboard. I would imagine you would definitly lose some functionality that way and it would be hard to control with the small screen.
I would suggest either getting a netbook or small laptop and just face the class using it or get a stool to set it on, or to go to the google play store online and see if your smartboard has an app.
Good luck
That app has great reviews - and is cheap too! Thank you for the suggestion! I wish I could test out this system first, haha. Oh well, I'm sure there's a return policy I can use if something won't work.

I have done this actually
I love my nexus but i do NOT think its big enough..
when my arm was in a sling from surgery for over 5 months.. I would use SPLASH TOP .
My tablet was a 10 inch Acer a500 tablet connected thru my netgear wifi router in close proximity . to my Wired connection on the same router. With HDMI MIRROR to 42 INCH HD TV.. i used handwriting and photo shop on the tv screen . i think the 10 inch tablet was ok but the hand writing is hard because of the size of the screen on the tablet Drawing something say the 3 inches tall 1 letter on the tablet will show up as 4 feet tall on that display ..
Your software could have some zoom features in it to correct this. Other wise it would be difficult to make it work... its hard for my to explain the issue .
very doable if your program on the computer can overcome the zoom issue.. i THINK This is what the post above mine was saying..

+1 for Splashtop, but I would imagine there is some sort of Smartboard app specifically for Android devices. If there is such an app, that would probably be your best bet, but I don't know.
Splashtop on the other hand was the smoothest remote control software I've used. It's free as well (as long as your using it on a local network).

if there is a app for the smart board then a 7 in tablet will likely work .. the issue is the resolution and more so pixel density .. If the app will let you project say 1-4 ratio or what ever you need to make it work and resize then you could have a winner...
we use something similar to that smart board at work for blue prints..
ohh and +1 more for splash top Its best and i have tried them all.. the issue could lie in the speed and network ability of the xp pc
Unfortunately there is no SmartBoard app yet. Apple is getting one this fall, and Android MAY in the future. As for now, u can't bank on that.
I'm thinking the Samsung Tab 2 10.1 would be a good choice. Or maybe I should look into Windows Tablets... Hmm.

I cosign those who said Splashtop and for a tablet, I would recommend a Transformer over the Galaxy Tab.

If you can wait till october- November I suggest you look into windows 8 tablet/PC which could do all of your computer functions with pen input and run all your computer applications.
I have a friend who is also an elementary school teacher and I recommended this device to her as she is also using the smartboard. I haven't used it myself but I think the size of screen is good for it unless you also already have a 10 inch tablet. But to each is own I know I write extremely small and she is more of a bubbly letter kind of gal so I can fit write more you could say.

I checked out tablets at Fry's Electronics today... 7" is definitely too small for this application.
Does anyone else have issues with accuracy of the styli out there today? I tried a few tablets and a few styli... I couldn't write an equation to save my life! It kept not reading it or appearing slightly above or below where I wanted. Then I tried the S pen on the Sammy Note 10.1... It was incredible! It was like writing on paper with a pencil! I don't wanna spend that much, but man that thing was incredible... I think that's what I may need.
Thanks for all of the help guys! Any other tips are still appreciated but I'm pretty sure I won't be a Nexus 7 owner...

One thing that a teacher had was a Mobi mobile interactive whiteboard. It is a thing that hooks up to your computer and is exactly what you are looking for. Also they have clickers with a program that yo ask questions and they key in the answer and you can see who is right/Wong and what answer they had. Hope I helped!

As most of you know the one thing that this tablet doesn't seem to immediately have is a way to connect it to external displays. My question is, if you watch the google io presentation, this is exactly whats gets done for instance here you can clearly see what seems to be the nexus 7s display being fed live to the big screen. Is that done with an external camera? How are they doing that?
This looks like it is just done with a camera as they are interfacing with it via mouse clicks by the looks of it

What makes a difference between a cheap hundred dollar China phone and A $600 galaxy is very often the camera besides cpu ram etc
I want to verify if my j i a y u s3 really has
The Sony sensor IMX215 that it claims to have
apps like CPU Z only tell you chipset and computer cpu , nothing about the camera sensor module .
Someone please tell me how this can be done.

AnTuTu Benchmark
(The application that you need)
You can check your hardware specifications and there manufacturers. Play store link below
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNG-CVf_epu-PJmZEbs46WHTCyDgEA
BTW
$100 phone has limited features. Its just a A+ copy of the original phone.
Even display pixel density is low, Processor, ram is low
Doesn't have each sensor and obviously you wouldn't get warranty.
Hope you found this helpful

Everyone knows about antutu .
Its like me asking what car does Obama use on vacations and you tell me he uses a black Lincoln when he is in white house.
I think that would be fairly obvious... But thanks for replying at least anyway, better than those keeping quiet over this important issue !!!
That is not going to tell me anything about the camera sensor , my friend
all it then tells me is what is the maximum capacity in terms of MP. It does not even tell me the image output is genuine or interpolated.
On a Linux desktop you can run lShw
And get some info off devices connected and I figured adb wd would be closest
but I was trying to find out if there's something from within the phone itself
The folders under under root do not yield much information

android s actually Linux.
if a device is connected then it hardware specs should be available with some method. And I am asking this question to figure out how to identify the camera and it's module that is used which in turn should bring me to the sensor
And you know what....... When all these manufacturers claim that the sensor is a Sony I asked them more specs ... Tell me what type of sensor is it and they avoid answering the question.
because the specifications are all fabricated and they are lying

I used Aida64 on my Galaxy Note 3 and it shows the brand, model and some other parameters. Hopefully it will be useful for your question.
Yes it does. this is the first app that actually digs deeper like l s h w and tell you what the phone has inside and rightly so it does have an Imx214 sensor
But from the pictures it takes which I am not at all bad I kind of feel I need something with bigger mp size and and dual sim and the only other option is xperia z series.
