above one?

can apply the RM30 discount code

Hmmm.. Lazada, I would say use the Cash On Delivery option if possible. Since this is a low stock item, you don't want to get your CC charged and then the payment hanging in limbo as they're rushing to fulfil it from their suppliers.

By this week, all apps written for WP 8.1 phones, will run on Win 8.1 pc under metro UI. This unification of apps for phones, tablets (RT) & pc is on-going. The Win 8.1 store is getting more exciting !

Dude, it doesn't MAGICALLY happen lar, apps still need to be rewritten to be usable across both platforms

Oh my. Had an unfortunate mishap involving my 3 day old W4 and the hidden enemy all gadgets - Gravity. Thankfully, there wasn't really much damage due to the crunch cover (and the fact that the W4 was built tough).

That said, I'm beginning to think that the crunch cover is not protective enough. Wondering if there are any full body TPU covers for the W4 - with or without a front flip cover.
*
The crunch cover is mainly for lightweight screen protection and also to be able to conveniently take a stand with you, I put mine in one of those 8" slip cases.

Hmm, a slip case does sound okay. If there was a TPU whole body case + crunch combo case that would be stellar though, considering how useful the crunch actually is as a stand.

As it wasn't designed for drops, guess I got really lucky with the crunch case this time. Fuuuh.
*
I prefer it to be separated so it can be bulky or loose as I want it to be. wink.gif

As I mentioned in my short review, the material on the cover feels weak and like it might flake off. In fact on my own cover, there's already a small chip, don't know where it came from.

I was wondering if any one of you are facing any difficulty waking up your sleeping W4?

In my case, *sometimes* the screen turns on but stays black after I wake it up (either using the power or win button). I know it's on because I can see the touch points and trails when I touch the screen but it remains blank.

Repeating the process (sleep -> wake up) returns me back to the blank screen. No lockscreen... nada.

Anybody else seeing this? I'm already on the latest BIOS btw.
*
You can actually see the trails on the screen? Then it's not like the previous problem where it couldn't wake up after an auto update.

I suppose you've already tried pressing the power off and on again? Have U tried the windows button?

Reminds me of a weird thing that happening now with the vivotab 8 pressing the power button to wake it up gets me the 'do you want to shut down' lock screen drop down.

Apparently the blank screen after unlock I get is caused by changing lockscreen pictures. I dunno how that has to do with anything either, but that's what I got from my digging around in the system.

It was simply exacerbated by the fact that the Facebook app was having fun changing the lockscreen pic on its own, causing more random blank screen-ness.

That said, does the non-3G W4 come with GNSS? Googling gives me conflicting answers except for the fact that the 3G version DOES come with GNSS.
*
What's GNSS?

A question, this device support stylus?
*
When you say stylus, you're actually referring to the Wacom digitizer right? no, the Acer doesn't support that.

The Asus Vivotab Note 8 has a Wacom digitizer, but the Wacom driver to allow it to work in Photoshop hasn't been updated to support it properly yet if that's what you're looking for.

If you're referring to the usual stubby capacitive stylus... well ANY touch screen supports that then.

Wait, I *actually* have an Adornit Jot mini somewhere at home. Maybe it's about time I dug it out for testing.

To test sensitivity? Doesn't work well with small curves on the Windows tablets, probably has something to do with the capacitive screen they use.

Anyway, USB OTG + your own USB headset will fix it. But anyone has tried USB OTG + Charging cable?

I've been trying to find some cable that works but with no success. On the net some people say using a rewired powered hub would work, but I'm not so sure I want to attempt to fry my W4 yet 😁

The ONLY wireless (capacitive) active pen that works directly with Windows 8 touch is probably the Hex3 YuFu Focus and YuFu Pro: http://www.hex3.co/products/yufu - and even then the Win 8 support is "promised" rather than currently available.
Are you sure it'll work with Windows 8? Also.. AAAA battery...yeeeeessssseeehhhh

QUOTE
ALL passive pens work on the W4, with varying levels of accuracy. I have a normal rubber capstylus and a Adonit Jot Mini, and while they both work fine, the Jot likes to scratch the screen protector from time to time due to the nature of its design.
I have the JotMini too, and what I realized is that different tablets have different levels of sensitity. Basically when you start drawing small enough curves (like small cursive writing) the screen will start ignoring it because it didn't detect that that tip has moved.

While the iPad had the best sensitivity it still wasn't free of the missed strokes issue.

So the summary is. If you NEED a great digitizer draw experience
- Get the Asus Vivotab Note 8
...

But then you read about all the post about the faults which causes the pen to go haywire.. doh.gif Damn Asus vmad.gif ... and Damn DELL mad.gif vmad.gif for not making the Synaptics pen work properly!

At least we can hope that the Surface Mini comes WITH active input AND full Windows.

Or that the next refresh of the ThinkPad 8 comes with active input.

Failing that, we still have the ThinkPad 10 to look forward to, however more cumbersome a 10 inch tab still is compared to a 8 inch one for mobile use.

Oh and yeah, the YuFu SUPPOSEDLY will work with Win8 because they met a stretch goal back in KickStarter. SUPPOSEDLY. Time will tell if they make good on their promises.
*
Hmm... based on how the drivers work.. it'll be interesting to see if they can work properly..

It's on sale for RM1.2k. Would have been tempted if not for the lemon horror stories (oh, the stories), the very meager 32GB internal storage and the current bad state of of the  local Asus warranty services.

Tell me about it! Every day I pull the pen out, hover it in front of the screen for a response, and say a little prayer whenever it works.. tongue.gif

Hi!,

Can you post a picture of the "one piece" MicroUSB OTG converter?

Thanks.

Yum. How much is this and where from (which All IT)? I already have a billion OTG cables but this seems to be a great backup.

around RM15-RM20, while it's more compact and easier to carry around, note that you're applying more stress on the USB port, so be careful.

Yup .... from the look of the design, I am pretty sure it is going to add more stress on the USB port. I reckon I better stick to the original OTG cable then.

Good thing about a plug is that it's easy to keep around in your wallet. So think of it as for emergency 🚨 purposes!

nice price but dun u think 2.1A is a bit too high for your N2? for tablet ok lah

Amps is how fast current can flow, if your device doesn't consume that much amps, it'll just work like normal, volts are the thing to watch for discrepancies.

On the subject of OTG cables, the cheapest I've found the stuff for offline are RM5 in the night market in front of Sogo. And these are the better built ones, not those cheapo ones with crappy plastic casing and flimsy cable.

Anyhows, anybody find a tempered glass protector that fits our W4 yet? I've seen people use Nexus 7 protectors for the Venue, maybe it could fit the W4?

That said, I've never even seen anyone selling the N7 glass protectors locally in shops lol.

Considering I use a cut W4 screen protector on my Venue, it it should work.
