QUOTE(Eiraku @ Apr 8 2014, 08:44 AM) 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. That said, as it wasn't really designed for drops, guess I got really lucky with the crunch case this time. Fuuuh. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Apr 8 2014, 11:37 AM

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.

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. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Apr 10 2014, 12:03 PM

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.
