[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
Okay, so clearly not a hot button topic, but can someone answer this part, just to make me feel better, since I have yet to do a nandroid restore.

If I apply this kernel patch for the MAC Address change capability, and something goes wrong (i.e. jacks up my wireless) will the nandroid restore (or at least is it supposed to) set it back the way it was. Basically, does the nandroid backup cover the kernel?

Thanks
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yes, the nandroid, if properly done, should cover you.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
Thank you for the response. I just needed some reassuring :)

Which will be good until it all goes horribly wrong later today :)
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
LOL, I love it. I just changed my MAC address to look like an Apple Laptop. Even shows up that way on scanners that resolve the OUI to the manufacture. Now I'm stealthy!

Did I mention I luv it. Maybe tomorrow I will look like a Commodore 64!

Hello everyone,

i have a question ( otherwise i wouldn't post here ;) ) :

Is there a chance ( an app ) too see, which server/ip adress/website an app connect ?

in example a custom facebook app: I want to see, if www(dot)facebook(dot)com is the only website, the app connect ;)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
They used to work with mine but not anymore. Doesn't matter what type of chorded headset it is, from a $20 cheapie to a $40-50 Sony or Motorola. For one reason or another it disables the mic on the chord, as well as the default mic on the phone itself.

Interestingly enough though - I can use regular headphones (w/out a mic) and use the phone mic but it just isn't the same because I've got to walk around with the phone in hand as opposed to in my pocket.

Anyone confirm they've got a chorded headset working and if so, what ROM are you using? Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
Working fine. Stock rom rooted.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
Did you happen to turn on TTY support?

When I turned on TTY support so that my phone MIC worked while plugged into my car stero, I lost the MIC in my wired headset.

I wish there was a widget or application to turn TTY mode off/on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
Nope, never messed with the TTY settings, it's off. I swear headsets (not headphones) always worked until more recently, if I have to go back to stock I just may consider it. Super frustrating because I have bluetooth headset (and stereo in car), but sometimes I prefer to just rock earbuds and I can't take calls as it stands.

[Windows 8 General] TheATHEiST:
Does anybody know of a list or site that lists existing tablets that have had Windows 8 running on them.

Or if you have a Windows tablet now and have tried the dev preview what has been your experience?

I ask because I'm hoping to invest in a decent Windows base tablet for purposes of upgrading to Windows 8 instead of buying a "certified" overpriced tablet. Hopefully we will see manufacturers releasing better drivers for existing devices if they are needed aswell.
[Windows 8 General] staalduinen74:
wetab

i have installed win 8 on My wetab and It runs pretty well. It has Somme hickups Bud i think thats more to win8 not being completely ready For release.
[Windows 8 General] Aaron McCarthy:
I have the Lenovo S10-3t Netbook with the monitor that swings around and turns it into a tablet... It runs awesome on this thing.
[Windows 8 General] corey457:
If you want a good slate you should look into the Samsung Series 7 slate. It has been reviewed as one of the best windows slates. Unfortunately for pricing it is not that great it starts at $1099 and goes to $1399.
[Windows 8 General] Award Tour:
I ordered a Dell st2220t touch screen display a while back in anticipation of a beta (I know this isn't a beta but close enough). Hooked it up to a cheap dual core ATOM/ION2 nettop and it runs really great. Wished there were more apps to test out and really live in the touch environment but it works very well. It kind of sucks not to have flash in the metro browser but I won't be surprised if Chrome 100.0 (or whatever version Google has out by release) gets turned into a alternative touch metro browser with Flash support baked in.

Altogether I think it was a pretty cheap experiment and well worth it: $230 for the monitor which was a steal BTW (1080p, touch AND freaking IPS) plus $220 for the nettop.
[Windows 8 General] steve_clifton:
Ever think the Galaxy 10.1 will accommodate it? I would rather W8 than HC at the moment :)
[Windows 8 General] Naterade:
I have a HP Touchsmart tm2t tablet and win8 runs extremely well on it, the capacitive multitouch screen works like it should with win8 and I've really been enjoying it so far. I put in a different HDD so i can switch between win8 and win7 just to play/test win8 when i want to.
[Windows 8 General] domineus:
still far far far cheaper than a dell xt3, hp 2760p, Lenovo x220t for the power provided by the convertible

The difference between the current crop of slates and Microsoft slates/convertibles is that they're not toys. In that the tablet/convertible can stand in as a computer or a main PC

So what is being sought as a price isn't all that bad

That said I've tried on a hp 2740p, dell xt2, hp tm2, and Lenovo x220t. The installation is flawless and really extends the life of the dell xt2 and hp tm2, which are extremely old in comparison to the others I mentioned.

I was thinking that after playing with Windows 8 for so long on a convertible its hard to go to an ipad2, android tablet, hp touchpad because the experience and speed is just incredible. Even on the hp tm2, which is somewhere along 4 years old and it works extremely fast.
[Windows 8 General] lachutm:
It works just fine on Iconia W500.
[Windows 8 General] steve_clifton:
How did you get it on?? To the iconia
[Windows 8 General] dalethefarmer:
Iconia W500 is a slate running windows 7, just load it off an SD card and install... Did you think he loaded it on a Iconia A500, the A is for android so windows 8 current build wouldn't run on it...

W500 is available for a great price though, really thinking about it...
[Windows 8 General] jonnymint:
I have a Dell Inspiron Duo, and the dev preview runs really well. The performance is definitely smoother and faster than win7 on this device, which is very impressive!

The only issues I have so far are that windows 8 doesn't detect the accelerometer and compass in my device, let alone provide drivers. Although, this is a very early release to get developers used to the metro UI so its not really a problem as they'll probably be in the full release.

Secondly is that Microsoft office brings up compatibility errors and won't install (making do with the very capable open office suite) this will obviously be fixed though.

The one other niggle being with hardware not software. I wish Dell had put some volume hardware keys and a physical start button on the sides of the screen rather than having to open up to the keyboard each time I want to use them. (So this is really just my personal preference)

That being said, you can just swipe in from the right of the screen to bring up a start button and volume/ brightness settings among others.

So as far as upgrading win7 hardware, at the moment I would say nothing would really be stopping you. I would wait to see how windows 8 matures up to release before making a decision however. :)
[Windows 8 General] steve_clifton:
Sorry yes, i just saw iconia and hit reply :) would love the galaxy 10.1 to run it, looks good
[Windows 8 General] rsohne:
I have an ASUS Ep-121 with Windows 8 loaded on it. It runs flawlessly. Better than it did with Windows 7 anyway.
[Windows 8 General] bhogal:
I have been running WDP8 on my HP Slate with eveything working fine.

All the drivers installed fine as well.

Have had a couple of BSODs in two days, mostly when waking from sleep.

The automatic orientation rotation is super fast at least ten times faster and smoother than Win 7 !!

Overall a very good experience......
[Windows 8 General] bbmalver:
Yep, Win8 on a Slate runs so far better than Win7 it's like the Tablet goes to warp speed! (W500) If fact I had a little trouble initially using win8 after installation because I was dragging my fingers sooo hard on the screen in order to enable a touch command, which didn't work! Turns out the touch is sooo sensitive you just need to brush your finger across the screen in order to access the Charms, Tabs, and switches!

Buttery smooth!
[Windows 8 General] thevictor390:
Posting from a W500 on Windows 8 right now, Windows 8 is absolutely made for it. That said, the metro browser is the only useful metro app and it's completely unstable.... but very snappy when it works. Since this is such an early version I have high hopes.

Side note: has anyone gotten the accelerometer working in 64-bit? Acer doesn't provide drivers and the manufacturer (Bosch) doesn't seem to either.
[Windows 8 General] bbmalver:
Had some issues with Accelerometer myself, although it was on the 32bit version.

You can try these options, however if it doesnt't work then you'll need to revert/re-install the 32bit version.

First, see if the bosch drivers install for 64bit, if they do then you can procede if they don' t then you won't have a functional G-sensor for 64bit.

Secondly, if the above works, you need to install the Acer ATI graphics driver (d/l from acer site, also the Application HID driver & Device Control won't hurt either)

After installation (and restart, yay!) Open the AMD Vision Engine Control Center program from the program list, it will tell you there is a compatibility conflict and do you wish to revert to .Net 3.5.1 (or whatever), Select yes. It will then download this driver from the net, and after installation: Voila!

(Of course you could just go into Windows Resources and revert to the aformentioned drivers, but the above was just to make sure :) )

Hope that works for you!

I ordered one of those even before this report came out. I will try it out and let you know how it goes!
[Windows 8 General] Tone_:
Runs on Panasonic H1\H2
[Windows 8 General] thevictor390:
Great info, but Bosch doesn't seem to provide a driver that I can find. From what I can tell from the Acer driver package, the device is a Bosch Sensortec BMA150. Are you suggesting to try the 32-bit driver from Acer? I thought that wouldn't work but now I think about it, I remember something about it being a sort of artificial limitation that could be temporarily bypassed and may not be present at all in a developer preview release.

What I wasn't sure of before was exactly which programs were involved in the process. I'll give it a try. If this feature can be made to work then I can say that the hardware works completely :)
[Windows 8 General] pstjmack:
I installed W8 on my old Viliv S5 - not sure if it counts as a slate, since it's so small, but W8 runs great on it. Huge performance improvement on W7. Only two major niggles so far:

1) Wifi is very flaky and drops frequently - probably an issue with the Viliv driver

2) I can't get the handwriting tablet input panel up - very annoying for me as I love to write by hand. The S5 is a resistive model, but the TIP panel still worked fine under W7. Only in W8 I can't figure out how to turn on/evoke it. The W8 onscreen keyboard pops up very erratically and occasionally, but even when it does, the TIP option appears to be greyed out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Other than that, W8 has totally rejuvenated my ageing device. No issues running MSOffice or any other app I can throw at it either. Recommended!
[Windows 8 General] Andrmgic:
To the guy that mentioned it, would you say that the Dell SX2220T is worth picking up?

I was thinking about picking one up for my desktop running windows 8. I could use a lower resolution monitor for some games like "The Witcher 2" anyway.. and it would be fun to have multitouch to play with.
[Windows 8 General] Mixato:
Hi guys, one question about acccelerometers, I installed (not the ATI driver,but, all the rest) and the autorotation works great. but, my question is, does the games like the labyrinth is working for you? I want to see if there is more uses for the accelerometer, not only the autorotation.

PS: Is an Acer iconia W500 :)
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
The accelerometer driver for the EP121 doesn't work, which makes me think the framework has changed, but Windows 7 brought the Sensor and Location APIs (here and here) which open up a whole world of possible (and portable) apps, though very few exist at the moment.
[Windows 8 General] bigboy292000:
Runs great on Iconia W500; BTW IMO, 64 bit is not needed at all, as the machine is locked into 2GBs of RAM and the 64bit install has a larger footprint (takes up more space on SSD).

So 32 bits = works great, with rotation etc...

For those interested - Cheetahdeals still has some refurb W500's for ~$370 shipped... there is also at least one seller that sells them (also refurbs) under $400 on fleabay...

Loving the Developer Preview on Tablet

I run a MSI Winpad 110W with 64GB SSD and 4GB RAM.. Far better battery life than Windows 7.

Love the Hitachi IPS screen.. And its the 64bit Version installed as the AMD Brazos with the ATI 6250 Graphics are well suited to 64bit.

novo 7

Hi , I am wanting to get a cheap android tablet and the best I can find so far is the novo 7 basic which runs android 3.2... But what I really want is a tablet that could run windows 8 . Would this tablet be able to run it or could someone reccomend a tablet that would work for a similar price ? Thanks:)
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
There aren't any low cost Android tablets that will definitely run Windows 8...

Windows 8 will support the ARM architecture that Android tablets primarily use, but the additional hardware needed isn't set in stone yet, so there's no guarantee that'll work.
[Windows 8 General] ericDylan:
I was thinking about getting the ExoPC from the microsoft store for 400.

I know it is about 2 year old, but I like the relative thinness of it. Even the new windows tablets coming out this year are thicker and have smaller screens. Even if it was not the cheapest one available, I would choose it.

The only thing I am worried about is the processor.

How do you guys think the 1 year old atom processor will run Win 8?

I have seen videos, but it is hard to tell.

Is the ExoPC worth getting? If i dont get it I was thinking about the Asus Transformer Prime for 500. Any suggestions?
[Windows 8 General] omiomiomi:
awesome thanks for this
[Windows 8 General] agent00f:
There's probably a good chance that popular tablets like Touchpad or Nook color will get ports though, even if they're hacks.

Hey, I cant get screen rotation to work on my W500. I have installed the 32bit version and the drivers from the Acer site but I can seem to get rotation working. Can you please tell me how you got it working? TIA.
[Windows 8 General] ericDylan:
i can't get any type of accelerometer control on my exoPC.

Labyrinth with not work. I didn't even know there was screen rotation on win8.
[Windows 8 General] thehustler:
Finally figured out how to get everything going on the W500. Works great now.

Labyrinth is not working for anybody. I got all the rotation working fine but labyrinth still does not work.

Edit: Can anybody confirm if the W500 has GPS built in. I have been getting conflicting reports on the web. Some sites say yes and the others say no. The official Asus website does not mention GPS in the specs at all.
[Windows 8 General] medo3abed:
Thanks alot man
[Windows 8 General] Randomwalker:
WeTab (basically an ExoPC):

- everything OK except:

-> rotation Sensor (I prefer manual rotation on Windows anyway)

-> GPS (known weakness anyway)

Libretto W100D

- no MetroUI because of resolution issue (regedit did not help), wolud be so cool to have one Metro screen and one Desktop view on the other screen

- rotation is not detected either

- obviously no Toshiba UI available for Win8
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
Windows 8 has changes to the sensors API that breaks pretty much all accelerometer drivers and anything using the Sensors API from Vista/7. Don't expect rotation/accelerometers to work without some effort or the OEM producing drivers.
[Windows 8 General] silverton64:
I have a quick question. Is there a thread talking about how to use an Android tablet and install Win 8 on it? I have an LG GSlate, and although it's pretty awesome, I would probably want windows 8 on it! If that's an option, please point me in the right direction, as long as the basic features still worked (cell internet/wifi/touch input/) then I would be happy! Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] thehustler:
No this thread is talking about Windows 8 on existing Windows touchscreen laptops and tablets. As far as I know, as of now Windows 8 cannot run on an Android tablet.
[Windows 8 General] Okkx:
That would be cool :)
[Windows 8 General] suwaneekid:
would it possible to put it on the viewsonic g-tab?
[Windows 8 General] xiadz:

As for GPS there is special wersion w501t AFAIK

I have installed W8 on my Iconia touch book (dual touch screens). Boots and runs smoothly. Good touch sensitivity. Some issues with obtaining the correct screen orientation for the lower touch screen to allow extension across both screens and smooth mouse movement between. I suspect this is my lack of skill, not a hardware or software issue.
[Windows 8 General] thehustler:
What help do you need? Let me know and I will try to guide you the best I can.
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
At this stage no, and in future, probably quite unlikely.
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
Does the metro interface extend between the screens?

Screen orientation is a tricky one, the developer build doesn't really do screen rotations at all!
[Windows 8 General] suwaneekid:
ok thanks l3v5y
[Windows 8 General] jerrykur:
I thought Windows 8 was landscape only for larger device (anything bigger than a phone).
[Windows 8 General] OrzelPiotr:
Can you check rotation sensor on metro ui, my working on desktop only.
[Windows 8 General] l3v5y:
It is, until they finish of portrait. It will support both, and with a newer sensors/devices API.

Hey guys,

I flash my Defy with a original Gingerbread(2.3.5) ROM from the Motorola developers in Brazil. Works ok, however the camera is not working.

This is a very importane feature to me in the Defy, so I perform a downgrade to Froyo. However after flash the phone doesn't boot up.

The RSD Lite shows PASS. I can see a white led. I must to take the battery out and take in, plug the phone in the PC and reflesh to gingerbread. It works ok.

So my question is: How to downgrade of Defy from gingerbread to Froyo?
