I'm not really sure it is going to sleep. It may just be a transition to the lock screen. This happens while she is using the unit, particularly when she touches the screen, so I don't believe idle is an issue.

I wondered if notifications could trigger the lock screen, so I turned them off, yet she continued to have issues. Next I added a registry entry to block the lock screen... that seems to have helped... so far.

Is there a touch point that would call the lock screen? #puzzled
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
There isnt one unless there is glaringly obvious user error going on here. Sure the power button isnt being knocked at all and that it has no dirt or grit jammed nearby? Otherwise it might need replacing.

I just ordered one online, I was wondering if you have a Samsung phone and if you do how does it work in sharing with you Ativ? Like AllShare and such?

Can I transfer stuff between my SGS4 and this Pc?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
???

This is a regular windows PC. No different from any other. Of course. Either plug it in by USB and use the regular android mass storage mode (remarked media or something now), eject its microSD and insert into the tablet or plug it in by USB and use the samsung software. Also you have bluetooth so you can bluetooth files back and forth.
[Windows 8 General] ohnoezmahfone:
If you're asking if you can transfer via NFC (Android Beam), bear in mind that only certain specific models have the NFC antenna (although all have the NFC chip, I believe), so most models will not have NFC. This isn't something Samsung has documented very well, you'll have to do some research if this functionality is critical for you. I was disappointed to learn after the fact that the unit I have does not have NFC.

The battery drain during standby is a widespread problem that many users are experiencing. I haven't seen a convincing diagnosis, but from my own experience with my unit it doesn't seem to depend on any specific program, service, or driver, and I started to have the problem after the BIOS update that fixed a problem with the computer *not* coming out of sleep.

So the BIOS seems like a pretty likely suspect to me, in which case we're stuck until when, or if, Samsung acknowledges the problem and releases a fix. In the meantime, while I really like the tablet a lot in other ways, I can't recommend it-- what's the point, if you still have to charge it every night?
[Windows 8 General] Starphish:
Well I think I've tracked it down to the case!

EDITED HEAVILY: Welll... I was wrong about the light sensor... Now I'm reading that the magnets inside the Poetic case I have can shut down the screen (puts the ATIV to sleep)... I'll have to see if the behavior continues without the case. Aggravating.

FWIW, I reinstalled the OS to simplify troubleshooting... so some good news is that all the trialware is nowhere to be found.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
A clean OS install for any OEM Windows computer is always a good idea. Glad you figured it out, though. Odd that it would go to sleep; usually covering the light sensor would just make the screen very dim.

This unit does have NFC, it just doesnt have any antenna attached. If you have the balls, heres how you enable NFC

Also, if anyone does this, report back if its possible to swap out the 2gb of RAM with a 4gb stick
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Its apparently directly soldered to the motherboard as in most tablets, guess they dont have the space for an actual connector and sticks.

Is it possible to run Android OS on this Tablet PC?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
no. Its clovertrail, not possible.

Hey all, currently looking at this machine VS the 700T. I was hoping to get some insight and help :D

I really don't have any needs for performance heavy programs. I'm currently using a Nexus 10 and I'm tired of the slowness in doing basic tasks like taking notes, annotating PDFs, scrolling performance and browser performance. I plan to use a Windows tablet to do the same things I do now, such as: media consumption (twitter, youtube), browsing websites/forums, annotating PDFs and taking notes (digitizer a huge pro on these models), and running the occasional legacy app, such as emulators for older games. I honestly don't game at all on PCs as I have a PS3 and a PS Vita.

Here's the huge caveat: I can get the 500T with keyboard dock for $350, or I can get the 700T with keyboard dock for $700-750. That's a huge gap for performance that I may not even need. I tried out an Atom based tablet in a local Staples vs the Surface Pro, and things loaded pretty instantly on the Surface Pro (which I like), but the Atom wasn't that far behind, especially Modern UI apps. And with getting the cheaper one, I wouldn't feel so bad selling it in half a year for an upgrade to a new one. The sale of my Nexus 10 will basically cover the cost of the 500T.

I'm at such a loss because I don't want to spend the money on the 500T and be disappointed with a lackluster experience, but I also don't want to overpay for performance that I probably will never use.

Any help would be fantastic. Thanks guys.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Console emulation is the only thing I see which might be remotely problematic. Project 64 is playable on my brothers 1.3ghz dual core atom netbook. PS2 and gamecube are no go's (PS2 is probably a no go on the surface pro too though, I find even on my triple core 3.5ghz desktop with an NVidia GTX460 PCSX2 lags like a *****, no matter what settings I use I cannot get it to play nicely, dolphin is fine for gamecube though {disclaimer, I only play games I own the disk for, in the case of PCSX I often load the real disk from the DVD tray}). I would imagine SNES etc will be fine. Depends on the console your after I guess.
[Windows 8 General] mustbepbs:
I'd pretty much stick to PS1/N64 and before, definitely not GCN or PS2.
[Windows 8 General] kucret:
hi, anyone with 500t, did u ever try 128gb microsd on this smart pc?

maybe just like acer w510, spec says that w510 only support microsd up to 32gb, but in reality we can put 64gb on w510.

yes i know the 500t specs says only support for 64gb, but if we can put more storage, it will be awesome. :)

sorry for my bad english :p
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
its a microSDXC slot, so should actually be compatible with the full microSDXC 2 terabyte spec. I think they state 32gb or 64gb because until recently 64gb cards were rare.

Currently there is no 128gb microSD publicly available (although they are due out later this year or early next year apparently) so no one can try one in their 500t.
[Windows 8 General] RCOO:
Guys, does the dock that comes with this tablet leave any wear mark on the tablet itself?

Between this tablet and Asus VivoTab smart me400c, which one would you advise? Thanks
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Not really sure why I have been quoted but meh :P

I handled a shop display model a few times, only thing I noticed wear wise was that the tablet wobbled in its dock really badly (although alot of reviews claim that this happens from new on some devices, apparently the later manufactured models have actually had a slight tweak so shouldnt do it anymore). Also dirt, the area that was docked was just generally cleaner and less smeary than the rest of the tablet. It isnt a friction based lock or anything, there are 2 holes on the bottom of the tablet and 2 large locking lugs in the keyboard dock which match the holes, plus 2 pieces of plastic supporting the tablet vertically and the electrical contacts too.

The Me400c however doesnt have a docking option. All that is available is a folio case with a bluetooth keyboard attached to the flap. It also lacks the wacom digitiser for a stylus (actually rebranded SPen on samsung devices but it is just a standard wacom device produced under license, regular wacom styluses actually work on it and vice versa).

Another major difference is the USB, the samsung has a separate charging port and full size USB port for connecting devices (its under a flap along the top edge), the ME400c however just has a single microUSB which may be used for charging OR you can connect a USB-OTG cable for USB devices, the microUSB does not function for connecting the tablet to a PC and transferring data that way.

Otherwise the 2 devices are basically identical in terms of specification. They have the same screen, storage options, RAM, CPU and wireless capabilities (ignoring cellular, which I think is available as an option on both still).

Me400c is alot cheaper though (at least here in the UK).

Its just a case of wanting the separate USB/charge ports, or requiring a stylus (the me400c lacks the digitiser so you cant just go and buy an aftermarket one, stuck with those horrible capacitive once) or keyboard (for you the folio case solution might well be sufficient, for someone else it might not) vs cost.
[Windows 8 General] RCOO:
The ME400C has NFC. The Samsung doesn't.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Officially it doesnt but a few models do appear to have the chip and if your not afraid to open your device (which I admittedly would be) you can reconnect its antenna to enable it properly. I think 1 model does officially have it too.

But do you use NFC? I havent ever touched it and I did for a while own an NFC device. If that is something that factors into your decision then yes, the Me400c would have the edge (or its companion the tf700t which does offer NFC, keyboard dock and wacom digitiser)
[Windows 8 General] RCOO:
I'd not Open it... I don't want to void my warranty =p

NFC isnt a huge factor, idk if I would use it for mobile payments... I mean, using a tablet for that seems weird.

How about the Samsung size? Isnt it too much?
[Windows 8 General] pwanghk:
Is it possible to make the soft keyboard pops up (like ipad and android tablet) whenever you touch the input field such as URL, search, username etc when browsing? I find the current two step process (touch the input field, then turn on the soft key) is kind cumbersome and counter-intuitive.
[Windows 8 General] RCOO:
No "excellent" solution so far.

[Windows 8 General] pwanghk:
Thank you so much for the info. I will look into it to see if there any solution that could fit my need.

8.1 Update

Anyone been able to do the 8.1 update yet?

I did it on my desktop, but it won't show up here in my Samsung ativ 500t.

Thanks
[Windows 8 General] Rotry83:
I have a XE500T, today, I update to W8.1. I lost Samsung Store in Windows Store and some problems in drivers. SWUpdate not working.

I reinstalled the drivers, including previous versions and now everything works fine. But Samung store I still do not get it.
[Windows 8 General] ali magdy:
You have to update your pc using windows update in order for the windows 8.1 notification to appear in the store.
[Windows 8 General] necrohiero:
I have a problem with the windows 8.1 update.

When the computer goes to standby automatically (the connected standby) and i turn it back on, the display driver crashed... Sorry if someone already asked about this.
[Windows 8 General] flamand:
I see the update in the Windows store. Does that mean it'll work?
[Windows 8 General] blognc:
Same thing happening to me. Also, sometimes it refuses to restore properly from standby, with a glitched pattern on display, an unresponsive touchscreen, or both, forcing a hard reset. Anyone have any ideas? In addition, I've noticed a major graphical glitch when using Fresh Paint. I hope there are better graphic drivers out there, or on the way.

It installs, and works well, minus the above issue.
[Windows 8 General] lunee42:
I did the update and now my wifi doesn't work... It says drivers are up to date and the network adapter is working properly... but it can't see any networks... I tried installing windows 8 driver for that... anyone able to help...
[Windows 8 General] AlienHairball:
I've been experiencing pretty much the same thing. Every time I resume from standby I can see it really struggle to display the lock screen. I'll notice the backlight come on right away, then I generally see some sort of small artifact, then the wifi status in the lower left which hangs for a second or two and finally the lockscreen comes up. Never feels healthy and it never did that before installing the final version of 8.1. The preview never did this. I've had to reset the device twice so far due to it not surviving the resume from standby.

I've also had a *significant* increase in keyboard disconnect problems since going to the 8.1 preview and that's not gotten any better in the final 8.1 release. It's almost unusable now and has turned my setup into basically just a tablet. Sad really.
[Windows 8 General] flamand:
This probably goes without saying, but you did run Windows update, didn't you? If you have, try deleting the wifi and graphics devices in device manager and let update search the web for the best drive.

After I updated to 8.1 Pro, Windows Update found and installed drivers for both the Broadcom wifi and the graphics adapter. I haven't had any problems and the thing seems smoother than ever.
[Windows 8 General] blognc:
That's great advice! I can't believe I never thought of trying that to force Windows Update. Already, I think I'm seeing an improvement.
[Windows 8 General] aygriffith:
I have the same artifact showing up on mine after bringing it out of sleep/standby. It goes away in a second or so but its definitely new post 8.1 update. I took the update from the Windows 8 store too. And as one other poster mentioned, I have lost the "Samsung Apps" in the Windows Store. Although honestly I'm not sure if I care about that.

No drivers issues that I've come across on mine. I actually think the PC is MORE responsive on 8.1. I was getting so fed up with it on 8.0 that I was thinking of selling it. And I used the PC for about 4 hours in my Competitive Strategy class tonight in the Samsung dock.
[Windows 8 General] eelpout:
yep, took about 90 minutes but it did it without a hitch. Downloaded it through the Windows Store.

Has Samsung announced a replacement for the 500T using Bay Trail? If so, I guess I haven't been paying attention.
[Windows 8 General] necrohiero:
Yeah.. the issue is solved.. i just did the update on windows update after force-uninstalling the driver. It updates the graphic driver to 9.4.3.1170.. The version before was 9.4.3.1160.. Let's see in a few days.
[Windows 8 General] aygriffith:
It fixed the artifacts when waking the tablet up?
[Windows 8 General] necrohiero:
Well.. It is better now. Before, everytime i woke the tablet, the problem appeared. Now it is once or twice every ten times i wake it. The message that says the driver crashes (in desktop mode).. Also disseapeared
[Windows 8 General] necrohiero:
But.. I think.. We still need better driver. Do anyone have tried drivers from other Intel atom tablets?
[Windows 8 General] toxicdog:
Have you guys found a way to secure the keyboard dock?

My tablet keeps disconnecting the dock even by the smallest move. And I use it on a flat desk. Sometimes it's okay for half an hour, then it disconnects again.

It's very frustrating, makes the tablet almost unusable when docked.

Installed a clean Win 8.1, but it was the same with 8. I guess it's a hardware problem. Is there any (probably hardware)hack for this?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The early released models suffered from this issue terribly (I was in a john lewis store once and a staff member informed me that every single one of the devices they had sold had been returned with this issue after I asked him about the display model doing it). Samsung did a silent hardware revision that was supposed to have fixed it.

It is a hardware issue, poor design if anything. Only the weight of the tablet is holding the pins in the dock against the flat contact points on the bottom of the device. Doesnt take much to shift the device to get it to disconnect from the pins. I think they swapped for longer pins in the dock which flex a little and almost have a spring effect so they can mate better.

I would see if there is a way to check the date your tablet was manufactured, if its an early model then bring it up with the vendor, if its a newer model, RMA it.
[Windows 8 General] toxicdog:
Thank you! It's nice to know Samsung fixed the problem.

Altough, I bought it used, without warranty papers. I guess I'll have to live with this issue.
[Windows 8 General] AlienHairball:
Same here. I also uninstalled the Intel graphics driver and had windows update do its thing. Oddly enough when update installed the driver my screen went black and stayed that way. I could hit the windows key to return to the start screen, but trying to go back into PC Settings wouldn't work. Restarted and all seems well now.

I've noticed that waking up from sleep is much more responsive. Only time will tell if it's really fixed. I'll see how it holds up in meetings this week - for some reason scrolling around in OneNote is what usually led to my bluescreens. Hopefully that's a thing of the past now!

Thanks to the guy earlier who suggested killing the driver and letting Windows Update install it fresh. I so rarely ever look there for drivers it didn't even occur to me. :D

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea, if the RAM on this Samsung ATIV XE500T1C-A01US, can be upgraded from 2GB to 4GB ?

Also, any way to replace the 64GB internal memory card, on which Windows 10 is installed ?

As its very slow, even slower then my OnePlus 2 mobile.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djkoz78:
:( Ok sorry guys if this has already been answered I checked only the Galaxy Nexus forums because it's the only device I have and I haven't heard of anyone else having my problem yet. I've searched Google as well but I've couldn't find an answer to my question so I came here. Maybe I'm not wording the question correctly. Let me give a little background.

I'm using a Stock 32Gig Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.1 Device. I'm not rooted. So I noticed that one of the features of 4.1 Jelly Bean was the nice expandable notifications in the notification bar with the ability to respond to the text,emails, & Facebook posts directly from the notification bar.

However I can't respond to anything. The only thing it allows me to do is to collapse or un-collapse the text,email, etc. Anyone know if I've done something wrong or was this feature removed from 4.1 Jelly Bean or from the Verizon version of the Nexus? The latter definitely would not surprise me. Thanks

It works well but the FN Key on my keyboard has no function. That means I cannot write email adresses aso. Do you have some solutions for me to solve this problem? The only reason to change the software from WinMobile 6.5 to android for me is that "whatsaap" doesn´t word on WinMobile 6.5. But I need whatsapp. Or do you have some ideas for me to use whatsapp on WinMobile 6.5. If yes then I won´t change from WinMobile 6.5 to Android.

Hi Everyone,

I've just successfully rooted and flashed a customer ROM (ARHD 16.0)

Just want to check the difference between have a custom ROM a stock ROM. Currently I'm still using the phone like it was before. So a few questions from a noob :)

1. Would the apps and data be wiped out again if I would try another ROM?

2. Is there a way to backup App Data and Settings if ever I would try another ROM or back to stock?

3. What are the things that I can do with a custom ROM/rooted HOX than with a stock one?

Hoping you guys can help me out with maximizing/understanding the things that I can do with my HOX :)

Thank you!
