ASUS Zenpad 10 (Z300C) multi-user accounts enabling - Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently bought an Asus Zenpad Z300C.
Apart from not feeling a strong performance improvement from my previous Asus MemoPad the most annoying issue is that the android-standard multiuser manager seems to be disabled.
The local technical support guys replied a very client-unfriendly: "device does not support that function". Even after told that the previous generation MemoPad had it supported...
If you own this device please complain through Asus support if you feel that they are removing basic functions from the core OS as I do.
If you are thinking in acquring one, beware of the fact that you will not be able to share the device with your family or guests in an sensible way.
I read this post explaining a workaround for a similar problem in other device,
http://dev-viraj.blogspot.com.es/2015/02/enable-multi-user-setting-in-lollipop.html
it could be tested only if the Z300C can be rooted, but currently seems not clear how to do it... see link below

[IMPORTANT] We need to do something about our current situation with the 5.1 Update

hey everybody,
As mentioned in the title we need to do something about all the 5.1 lollipop issues we have right now with our beloved tegra note 7.
If we all stick together now and show nvidia that we need there help, that we might get enough attention to get most (if not all) of the problems solved we have right now.
My idea is basically nothing else than just contacting Nvidia together and state our issues. NOT just on their nvidia tegra facebook page or whatever.
we all should take a few minutes to contact them everywhere possible. ONLY on sites which are related to the Tegra Note 7 of course.
we don't want to create unnessecary spam threads on sites which aren't related to the TN7.
so, here are some links to some a few pages where you can leave a post stating some of your issues you have with the 5.1 update:
NO SPAMMING, NO SWEARING, just state your issues
- Tegra Note 7 Board (Geforce Forums) <--- This link will redirect you directly to a new opened thread that i made where you can post about your issues regarding the TN7
- Nvidia Tegra (Facebook Page)
if there are any more sites which are related or important for the TN7 Issue reporting, then pls, feel free to post the link
I get the impression that NV is done supporting their Tegra 4 hardware. Go look at the Shield Portable forum and see the same complaints. This hardware is getting pretty old now.
I do wish it had been more popular and attracted some custom ROM developers.

But they can't just leave us with one of the worst updates ever. They really should take responsibility for what they have done to us (and to the shield portable users).

Come on guys, if you want to get your tegra note 7 (hopefully) fixed, then you need to show Nvidia that you care about your Tablet.
Account registration just takes a minute, so please, just take this minute to help us all together out on this.
@GodOfPsychos
There is one more community related to Tegra Note on google+
I am restricted from posting the link.
Just google it
Godlets start a campaign against Nvidia t
Lets show them we care
btw. i will also try to reach out to the live chat support from nvidia when i have time.
Sadly they don't have a real support page for tegra note 7 (at least i can't see any).
so in this case i will just "invade" (not literally ) their Shield Portable support via live chat and talk to them as long as it is needed until i get a satisfying answer.
i know this might be kind of a "strange" move to make. but i won't just sit here and let nvidia do that to us. so i will try any possibility that it takes to get noticed by nvidia.
AND it still would be pretty nice if all the ppl that viewed this thread without even replying to it, would at least help us reaching out to nvidia because right now there are only a few that try to help. AND we need more people for that.
Please everybody, we need your support on this one.

Really wish some dev would give us a custom rom with decent performance, as opposed to stock lollipop. or even better, marshmallow.
I mean if 6.0 on my old Moto G is any indication on how much better the performance coule be then... yeah

Asus z300m Zenpad 10 remote desktop

hey guys, searching for a solution... Posted this over at Asus ZenTalk Global, since they do not yet have a forum for the zenpad. http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-50191-1-1.html but wanted to try here.
Android 6.0, July 1 2016 Model P00C
TeamViewer is disabled (business customers only), need a [email protected] email...
Got in touch with Asus support, was rudely turned away by tech rep... like, seriously, felt like talking to comcast support. :crying:
Emailed TeamViewer - no answers yet.
VNC, Webkey, and Mobizen, all required root... Root does not yet exist (as far as I can tell, no solid hits)
Any ideas?
Got this tablet for my grandma, she has very little technical skill. Since I will be overseas, there is no other way to help her if she gets stuck...
same here. waiting for the root. airdroid works only until the tablet gets to be restarted

Attempt to get graphics drivers for latest android versions for TF300T

will put more info on this later today and i will also update this periodically with other info as well. but i am attempting to contact asus and show that we really desire their support and help with this issue as we need these drivers to fully utilize our devices!!! these devices function perfectly well and we just need drivers.
UPDATE (10/2/17): Asus doesn't care and neither does Nvidia, so we are basically on our own. Only hope would be if someone could reverse engineer the drivers so we could make our own, but that would take a tremendous amount of effort and really doesn't seem like it would be worth it.
Admins please close this thread.

Sending what good karma I can your way. I really hope you are successful with this
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but Asus abandoned these devices long ago. Latest Graphics blobs we have are for 4.2.1 and that's all we are going to get. The original Asus Nexus 7 tablet has slightly newer ones that could potentially be ported over but with the age of these tablets we were lucky to have someone as talented as timduru to be able to hack some of the blobs just to make the transformers work on newer versions of Android. Sadly you would be better off moving on to a device that's a little more current.

That isn't the point. Maybe we could go the route of porting the Nexus 7 drivers, but regardless, there is no reason whatsoever that Asus doesn't help us out as they claim to be "open source friendly" or what not.

Did you already receive any reply from Asus on your attempts. What do you think about to contact NVIDIA as well as the manufacturer of the processor and the graphic hardware? Please have a look at the NVIDIA site. Maybe you can find an access to trace the needed drivers there http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 owners thead

Got my Mi Pad 3 about a week ago. anybody else gotten it so far?
loving it for the most part. volume rocker and power feel a little wobbly, and I get some random MIUI FC's, and it FC's every time I open the screen battery statistics. Anybody else getting this issue?
Hey, I got this device 5 days ago. Bought for e-book reading, but was better than I thought.

I get that FC too. Settings -> Battery -> Battery Use -> Screen, and it's over.
Side buttons are made of plastic and it's littly wobby - that's regular in middle ranged xiaomi phones anyway.
Anyway, good device. And I'm waiting for a RR Rom to flash.

no ROM yet besides china stable and developer. TWRP just appeared on the MIUI forums today though. sadly no touchscreen support as far as I can tell.
Try flashing one of the modified MIUI roms from one of the below:

Multirom

Well, the nvidia and intel chipsets in former mipads have been surely resurrected, and mediatek chipsets are also popular(at least in china) and enjoy a great many optimized roms maintained by xda developers. No matter how long it takes I will be waiting.

Allow me to put the nail in the coffin here. Intel Atom chips have only received love from KonstaT - his work on Cube Iwork8 Ultimate/Air + Chuwi tablets sporting the Atom chips e.g. - he is the main reason anything gets done for the Mi Pad 2 (check the credits )
The Nvidia chip is found in ... Shield Tablet which is still being supported and in other devices - still receiving love.
Quick search on the MT8176 chip. Couldn't find anything. And I know for a fact that KonstaT doesn't mess with MediaTek chips.
Obviously, I hope the best for the Mi Pad 3 owners, but it doesn't look too good right now. Mind you, I did suggest that you try flashing the Xiaomi.eu and/or Multirom.me's Mi Pad 3 MIUI rom. They both optimize the rom, so give it a go and tell us which is better.
Lastly, Chris from TechTablets isn't impressed and suggests the Mi Pad 2 and Ifive Mini 4S over the Mi Pad 3.

Hyy @Palm Trees
Why don't you join us on telegram group of MiPad 1
Since you have a MiPad 1 it will be useful for you also,
Here's the link https://t.me/mipad1
Hi, although I'm not expecting much development (if any) for this tablet and I know it won't be a hit in sales, I find it most interesting. Those specs are just fine for my needs.
Plus, Xiaomi has proven a brand with very high quality products and which you can trust (I've had a couple of phones, the 12.5" laptop and some other stuff from them and I love them).
So I couldn't resist and I have just ordered one. As long as there is Miui and it gets a couple of update, it's fine for me.
Anyway if any developer is motivated for some cooked roms, I'm sure a few of us will appreciate!

MAC address changes after wakeup from Wifi standby
I just received my MiPad 3 this weekend - a nice first impression regarding appearance and haptics,
BUT, I recognized that every time the Wifi wakes up from standby again, the MiPad comes up with a different MAC address! Not after reboot (observed on different MediaTek devices, e.g. Cubot X9), but on any Wifi reconnect after standby it reconnects with strange MAC addresses beginning with 00:00:00:aa:bb:cc - while in the "about the Phone" still the original MAC address is stated.
It seemes that this behaviour had been an issue for the MiPad 2 as well:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...es-on-every-on-off-of-wifi.36322/#post-338180
VERY disappointing at all!
Waiting for Wifi issue
I just got my Mi Pad 3 and it is installed with the China ROM 8.2.8.0(NCICNEB). I installed play store into it and it was working fine until play store got updated. Now it prompt need to update Play store and indicate waiting for Wifi. Anyone know how to solve this?

I tried to register as a user at xiaomi.eu and kept getting an error message that my attempt to register was rejected because it "resembled automated or spam-like behavior. Please contact the administrator for further information or assistance." I tried 8 or 9 times before giving up. At any rate, I did download TWRP for the Mi Pad 3 and installed it. I then flashed the custom "weekly" room from 5-26 and all is good. It sort of took care of the region issue as settings no longer shows China.
Would really like to contribute at that site, but if it's that difficult to register - forget it. But thanks for the link. ?

Axon 7 US 6g 128gb - NFC

Does anyone have the US 128g 6g ram version of this phone? No one has been able to confirm that Android pay works with this model. Me and some others have tried and failed. All are on the stock software 7.1.1.
Has anyone used NFC and Android pay with this particular model of the Axon 7?
ZTE did not implement NFC, OTG, or MHL in the Axon or Zmax lines.

Well I've used Android Beam a lot of times, NFC works perfectly. can't talk about Pay though
Android pay works on the 4 Gig model with 64 gig of memory. The issue is with the 6 gig model with 128 gig of memory. If anyone has this model and can try out Android pay, it would be very much appreciated.

NFC is there and works like a charm. Used Android Beam with a friend's OP3T a bunch of times
OTG has saved me once on a pretty nasty brick. Even knowing that, I downloaded a couple of OTG compatibility tester apps and they both tell that it works.
MHL, in the other hand, isn't supported. Some say that this DisplayLink thingy can work, but I'm not sure if they tested.

I have the 6GB/128GB model of the A7 and I can't get Android Pay to work either. I have tried it at Trader Joe's and Walgreens and it just sat here and did nothing. I even went to a friend's coffee shop and he rung up something for $1.00 so I could try it. It didn't work and I know he supports Android Pay. I was moving my phone all around on his terminal and it would never go thru. He said, "Why are you doing all that?" Then he took his own Android phone and it went thru like a charm. Something isn't right with this phone.
Yes, I *DID* have NFC turned on.

There was a new version of Android Pay that came out few days ago. I haven't had a chance to try it again since installing the update. Have you?
Did not try it. I called ZTE and was told that this is a known issue and a software patch is in the works. No ETA on the patch however.
Hopefully that is a true statement.

We're very sorry for the delay. I was hoping I would have a solution for you. We've reached out to our Research and Development Team, and we have not yet gotten a resolution to this issue that our Axon 7 Enhanced consumers are experiencing. It should work, as it does in the 64GB Axon 7 device. We do have a post in our community forum operated by our R&D team, where you're welcome to post and interact with them. We're working a fix, however, I am unable to speculate when we will have more information available. As soon as we have additional information, I will update you all. Thank you for your continued patience as we strive to resolve the issue with the chip.

Thanks for the update. I would certainly expect the next update, or security patch would include a fix for this issue. That's a very reasonable request to make for the current flagship mobile phone from ZTE.
ZTE has found the problem and it exist on the Premium version of the phone. They will be fixing it in the next update.
