For Sale 1X Ameo (***Now with Pictures***)

Ameo, mint condition as it was replaced under warranty a month ago (including documantation to prove this) however the keyboard is tatty as it was not replaced !
£270 can meet up in london ! boxed with all the usual accessories + a docking cradle charger station + a second battery which is now in poor condition but still working (will do 1 days usage)

Pictures

The facts.
All the Peripherals are in brand new unpoened condition, this includes the Headphones, the T-mobile pen the Charger and the VGA cable. They are unopened as I did not need them (I had an identical charger and equally fitting headphones from my universal) The box is in pristine condition,as is the Ameo it self, as it was replaced last month (I can verify this). I tend to look after my stuff as I hope you can tell. I was gutted that the Keyboard destroyed the facia of my previous Ameo, and so have never ever attached this keyboard to my new Ameo. The Keyboard unfortunatly was not replaced as it was not faulty, and so looks tatty.
If you purchase it I recommend NOT attaching the keyboard.
Bottom line ! you are getting a NEW Ameo with New unused peripherals in a pristine box, for very little money.

Going on Ebay later on today, I expect to pretty much get my asking price considering it comes with the charger station.

car charger

Has anyone managed to find one yet?
I've tried a number of places (ever since expansys sent me what they thought was a touch pro charger but turned out to be for the old htc phones - new connector on Touch Pro and Diamond)
I hate to get caught with a flat battery.

Erm... The Touch Pro connector is the same as every other HTC phone I've come across (i.e. the Hermes and Kaiser) and is charged by mini USB.
I'm using the car charger I had for an old Motorola V3, it's actually an official Morotola branded charger but it works fine on the Raphael - all usb power is a standard 5V after all, so I knew no harm would come to it!
I've also ordered a solar charger with built in 2000mAh emergency battery too, it came this morning but nobody was in to take delivery, so I've got to go and get it from the royal mail place tomorrow!

looks like I might have been wrong, the connector shape is different, but my old charger still fits...
apologies all

you can use any 5v mini usb car charger. need not be an htc branded charger

My brother had one for his motorola krazr back in the day, it's a wall and car charger in one (you can flip out the different attachments)... He now has a samsung, so I swiped his.

I'm using the original one from HTC, the HTC CC C100.
Since my TyTNII I faced problems that other carchargers didn't provide enough power to load the TyTNII.
The original loader didn't face this problems.
And in Holland it was €20.00 so not much more than an unbranded one.
Now I'm using it with my Touch Pro

Mogul is same way. You can use regular USB, but modified has other sound features or whatever

OK I received the solar charger I mentioned in post #2 today. It's working now but I had a couple of issues with it! Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent to the company I bought it from:
ukdj78 said:
My solar charger has now arrived. First off I should like to point out that the information on your web site is incorrect as the instructions for my product say that the internal battery is only 1350 mAh not 2000.
Secondly, I could not get the internal battery to charge from my PC's usb port at first. I noticed the led light flickering very faintly so I prised apart the plug which connects to the unit and noticed that it had been soldered in such a way that two of the connections inside the plug were touching each other! I lightly bent them apart and plugged it back in and it works fine now.
Thirdly, I noticed that the product was also shipped with a mains adaptor to charge the internal battery (which I can't use in the UK as it has an American mains plug). My one rattled! Seeing as I wasn't planning to use it anyway, I thought I'd investigate what was causing the rattle and I found a piece of loose metal wire about 3 cm long inside the adaptor! As you would understand this was potentially very dangerous!
I do not wish to return my product as it is now working satisfactorily, but I thought you might like to pass my comments on to the product manufacturer. There was a card in the box that says QC Pass #06. Obviously this quality checker isn't very good at his job considering I found two potential short circuit issues!

Here is the rather quick response I got:
David from Donba.com said:
Hi, ukdj78:
Luckily we have customers like you who knows about things and understand that ultimately we do not have control of the product's quality as we are only the seller. I have forward your email to our purchaser and we will never order anything from the same manufacturer again. Poor quality products not only make us lose money, but our own company image. And like what you said, a risk for our customers.
As for your order. I will refund you the shipping charge to make it free shipping as a compensation for all the inconveniences you experienced.
Again, we are very much appreciated your understanding and your comments.

By the way, if anyone does like the idea of a solar charged emergency battery there's also this one from Handtec. Looking at the specs and dimensions and the fact that Handtec have added a note saying it's black not silver as pictured makes me think it's the exactly the same product as the one I've got. The only reason I ordered from Donba is that they were cheaper. I didn't realise at the time of ordering that even though Donba have their prices in £'s they're actually based in the US and ship directly from the manufacturer in Hong Kong, so it took quite a while for mine to arrive. Handtec are UK based, so you should get a UK power adaptor (if you get one at all) and it should arrive much quicker, they're reliable too, I bought my Touch Pro from them!
Obviously considering my experience though, it may be wise to find a different model that does the same thing just to be on the safe side!

I'm gonna buy a originally adapter 4 sure!
So I know 4 sure it's working correctly!

Bluetooth Audio Receiver... not bad for $35

I picked this thing up on eBay for $35 brand new w/free shipping.
***THERE SHOULD BE AN IMAGE HERE BUT I'M A N00B AND CAN'T POST OUTSIDE LINKS***
It's a "B3510 Bluetooth Audio Music Receiver". It can hook into your home stereo or a pair of computer speakers or your car's aux input and use it like a pair of bluetooth headphones for your tablet. I'm using this on my Acer Iconia Tab a500 to put Pandora to my home stereo. It's kind of nice having Pandora playing turned up in the living room while I'm able to change stations in the kitchen. 30-foot range is about all you'll get out of this thing though. If you search eBay for "bluetooth home audio" you'll find plenty of other options. I went with this one because it looked the cleanest and was the cheapest. It got to my door from overseas in about 10 days.
Cheers.

20 bucks. Works great. Monoprice is the best.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=7364&seq=1&format=2

Wow... can't beat that. Have to admit I've never heard of monoprice.com though... thanks for the tip. I'll be checking it out.
I wish we had a Fry's here... this town sux!!

You don't need a Fry's store in your town, just go to their website That is unless you want instant gratification...

I'm male... instant gratification, of course

Yea, I know the feeling, when I need something now and can't wait, I just go to Fry's. Otherwise it's always online for me. hehe

I needed an additional receiver for the bedroom so I ordered your suggestion from Monoprice. I'll re-post when it gets here with first impressions.
Funny thing, It was $26 and change which included overnight shipping. Still cheaper than e-bay.
The one thing I will say though, this adapter from Monoprice is going to be a big white box either up on the wall or taking up 2 slots on a power strip whereas the one that I got from ebay is a small little black square with a single outlet, small corded power supply.

Ok... The bluetooth audio receiver from Monoprice has it's pros and cons but for me it's more of a comparison to the same product I ordered off of eBay a bit ago.
The unit from Monoprice actually is nice because of the price. With overnight shipping it came out around $26 and change where as the one off of eBay was $35 with free shipping but it took about a week and a half to get here.
The Monoprice model is kind of a pain in that you have to string the audio cable from your receiver down to the nearest wall outlet or plug this into your power strip and let it use one outlet and cover the one next to it. One plus though is that it's got a USB jack on it in case you want to charge something.
The model I purchased from eBay has a small power supply with a cord so it allows you to place the unit in your entertainment center with everything else.
The Monoprice model constantly blinks it's bright blue LED when it's not in use (solid when it's connected) whereas the unit I bought from eBay is solid when connected and OFF when not in use. Most wouldn't think this would matter but if it's in your bedroom plugged into an exposed outlet, you'll be sleeping to a constant blue light.
So, although saving a little coin is nice, I'll buy into the more aesthetically pleasing choice next time.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Tiny piece of tape covers blue light. 2$ extension cord puts it anywhere you want.

Who has owned both a 201 and a 300?

I am so conflicted at this point, I have owned a 201 before getting the 300. There are some things I really miss on the 300 that the 201 had, namely haptic feedback and the super IPS+ screen. But then there are things I like about the 300, strong gps and wifi, similar performance to the 201 and a $380 price, ugh, so torn.
I have 2 dongles and the keyboard for the 201, so torn as to what to do.
I guess I'm just asking for some opinions, both good and bad.
Edit: And the camera flash on the 201.

And I have a quick question for those of you that own both......I just bought a wall plug charger for the TF201 hoping it would work with the 300, but no dice. This new 201 charger won't charge the 300. If someone owns both, would you mind checking if your TF201 charger works with your 300? I thought I read somewhere that the chargers were interchangeable. I'm trying to determine if I got a bum power cord or if the power cables are just not interchangeable.
Thanks!

Try putting just the charger part in a ziplock baggie, get as much air out as possible and put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Sometimes the overheat safety gets stuck and that pops it back.
I had that issue with my 201, put it in the freezer and away it went.

I've owned and returned two 201 units. Purchased a TF101 to tide me over until the 700 infinity drops. Personally, I think it's better to spend a bit more for a better product. I am happy with the TF101 and will keep it along with the 700. But if I was on a budget and had to choose between the 201 and 300 (based on feedback from the 300), I would stick with the 300. You could also try to get a more current manufactured 201 (05/12) they should have all the quirks worked out by now(?).
I have two power adapters that I purchased for the 201 and a stock from the TF101 and they are all interchangeable. What you have to make sure of is that the power adapter is the correct voltage 10W/18W. Most off market are not. I purchased from office depot, they had the same authentic asus power adapter when they were sold out from Asus estore. What's nice is adapter kits cable is much longer than the cable that came with the device. The Asus website lists this adapter as useable with all models SL101/TF101/TF201/TF300T. If you should need a sync cable make sure it's a powered cord (3.0); I can confirm this cord works perfectly.

I saw the OEM chargers but they are $30 bucks and didn't want to spend that much on what was going to be just an extra charger for travel. I bought this one on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=180869444176&view=all&tid=817560853008
The specs on the plug seem to be the same as the OEM plug that came with the TF300, which is 5V output and 2100mA. I think I got a bad plug I guess if they are all supposed to be interchangeable. The cable part worked fine with the other charger.

2100mA <-- Sorry, I don't know what that means. This looks more like a battery spec.
on the charger I have it lists:
input 100-240V~0.5A
output 5Vdc/2A or 15Vdc/1.2A
The ebay link no longer works. I've found its sometimes better to spend a bit more on these types of items, the majority of really cheap after market cables are usually no good and sometimes dangerous. I will only use after market items by referral or if it has loads of good feedback.
Edit: I found the item and it looks like the wrong adapter. The specs are not listed in the description. Be careful with the stuff from china hongkong. It's usually junk. Takes so long to receive and by the time you have a chance to test it and discover a problem you are usually beyond the 30 day return window.
Hopefully you will be able to file a claim with ebay to get your money back since it's an international sale and will cost more to return than the price of the item. They take advantage of that.

Don't go against your instinct. you know deep down you want to keep the prime. don't settle for the downgrade. its going through its own growing pains also, as you can see from the various threads here & in QnA. Some of the same issues are being seen here on 300. except 300 "shouldn't" even be having them since it has a plastic back(wifi issues).
take another look at the Positive Transformer thread in my sig. to joggle your memory on how great it is..lol.
300 is cool though, for the lower price. just not as high spec or powerful as the prime.
good luck deciding.

The plug basically has the same specs as yours. 2100mA is just 2100 milli-amps which is 2.1 amps like yours. Same 5V DC output. Oh well. I guess i just got a bum unit. I've actually bought lots of these types of charges on eBay for cell phones, computers, tablets, iPads, iPods, over the years and this is the first one I have received DOA.
Anyway, thanks for the info about the interchangeability.

I've owned both and can say it is really hard to choose.
Prime wins at -
screen brightness, clarity, colors were better
Built a little better IMO
Flash for camera
Thinner
Gorilla glass opposed to tf300 "hardened glass"
Tf300 wins at
Wifi range and speed greatly improved
GPS is better
Cheaper
SD card slot does not stick out at all
All the outer buttons seem a little nicer and snappier
Sound is better through speaker. Louder and clearer
Rubber surrounds the screen to aid in absorbing impact on drops.
IMO the system runs smoother on the tf300
So if you can check more in one list that matter than the other than I'd say get that one. You really can't go wrong ether way
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app

I have both and you know the differences, just pick which ones are important.
I use a 201 at work and have not had wi-fi issues (C3 serial). I feel better with the gorilla glass and the look is great.
I bought a 300 for home use. yes, you can feel the difference between the metal and plastic screen...but more as a difference than a better/worse.
Thinner...hard to tell.
IPS doesn't matter to me.
Flash doesn't matter to me.
The price difference did. If I was to buy a third one, I would go with the 300.
