Ah, sorry; I misunderstood. I had my x2 on the Balanced setting over the weekend and it ran fine. I streamed AFL football, browsed the web and played some games and I didn't notice any issues. I'll have another look and see if I can get it to choke on the lower setting. One thing I do know is that the benchmarks are terrible with it set to Balanced; I'd say the clock is heavily limited...I'll look into exactly what the numbers are as well.

With regard to battery, without the Balanced setting, the x2 was idle overnight without power for 9 hours and the dock dropped 10%. So maybe the dock would be all out after 90hrs...about 4 days on idle. I'll try to get more data on battery usage over the next week. My feeling is that HP rushed this to market to be the first Tegra 4 tablet, therefore the ROM is probably not that optimised for the new Tegra 4. Hopefully more interest will be out there once other Tegra 4 devices pop up.

Does anyone know how to disable the built-in touch pad? When I'm typing I accidentally hit it and can screw up what I'm typing. If I need a mouse I can plug in a USB mouse or use the touch screen.
[General Questions and Answers] pafje:
I'm no expert but I don't think so, it's just basic user space networking, the most likely solution is:

1. (best case) HP release a USB data cable that plugs into the charger port (I'm not certain that port is really unique, I think I've seen similar ports for other devices).

2. An SD exploit in fastboot mode.
[General Questions and Answers] raptir:
Unfortunately I saw this with my original Transformer as well. I think it may be related to the fact that the dock charges the tablet while both devices are off.
[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
My TF201 was similar, just not sure whether the x2 is a little hungrier when idle. The Tegra 4 has a low power core (the other 4 should switch off). How well this works depends on how well HP have coded the kernel; as I said in a previous post, I suspect HP did't spend as much time as they could optimising so they could get to market first. On the upside, any issues could be fixed with a software update.

With Balanced not selected, 24 hours with the screen closed (system on idle) the dock had used 25% power; so the dock should give you about 4 days on idle...the table should be similar, so I'm guessing a total of about 8 days idle, which is not too bad. I'll have a look at the Balanced setting to see any difference; I doubt it, as the clock should not be limited at idle anyway.

I have the x2 away with me now, so I'll get a look at on the go use over the next couple of days.

There is supposed to be a 5% storewide discount code(SVD8492) for month of august. I chatted with sales support and applied the discount and I will be getting credit back of $47.92. I gotta say HP customer service is awesome.

I couldnt figure out why they were crediting me so much but found out the hp slatebook x2 is currently on sale for $449 so I got an adjustment from that and also the additional 5%. Sweet! Technically I should be getting 5% discount off $479 but I'm not gonna complain. Now it's gonna be even harder to return this thing.

So if you guys are still contemplating on getting one, this is probably the time to get it. $449 is an even better deal and hopefully you can also apply the 5% coupon code SVD8492 during check out for even more savings.

Hi folks,

i know that it was a long wait but we have some good news.

I've found help in the name of "Unjustified Dev", a recognized dev working also on other tegra4 devices.

He helped me to set-up vendor files and device tree for our device.

We had trouble with the recovery, which are now fixed with the new one.

We were not able until now to have a booting CM12, but we have a booting CM11, yes, android 4.4.4 is booting.

groumfi, another french guy from xda, helped also to build the rom and will help us in debugging :)

The current status of the rom is alpha, some critical things are missing but it booted on three different tabs.

Status atm :

Working : Display, touchscreen, Wifi, Bluetooth, keyboard (but needs some fixes), trackpad

Not working : sound, camera, accelerometer, USB, External storage notification...

We will keep you aware if the progress but that is at least to bring some hope to all Slatebook X2 owners.

I know also that some users are stuck on 4.3 without cable, 4.2.2 users may had chance to flash the recovery without cable, and in this case, no worry to get CM11.

For 4.3 users, i was thinking to gather all actual users of the slatebook x2 and see how we can sort and help everybody to have access to a cable.

We could imagine that user pay the shipment cost to the following user etc until the cable gets back to it's owner

Here is a sheet to fill in : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oi190yBHNRIN47OSmpRLIuVio6OM8HiEhW48VZJG3sQ/edit?usp=sharing

It's open to edition, but please, be gentle
[General Questions and Answers] blender3d:
That are great news mate. I can't wait to have a system running in my slatebook without all of HPs mistakes. AS promised, if you may present the pinout of the cable i may try to print it from my 3d printer and spread it over the world. Just to let you know, your work in this is highly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] BENETNATH:

Apostrophe!

Sorry, I hate hijaking a thread, but this thread seems to have become the X2 forum!

I‘m using 4.3, and ... does no one else find this? The apostrophe key (UK layout) seems to generate the wrong character - a U+2018 (left single quote) rather than a U+0027 (apostrophe). The spell checker keeps telling my every contraction I write is wrong, and the key is useless in things like SSH sessions.

Is this normal? Am I missing something? Can I fix this?

Cheers,

Graham.

Any news about rom update---no posts for 4 weeks---has the x2 been forgotten:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] BENETNATH:
hi,

sorry to stay on mute.

i've got no internet at home, no computer to build and no spare time, which is currently not the best set-up to progress.

in addition, we had a working folder which was able to build a booting rom, but with some update in sources, it's no broken and we have to find why.

there are some few people involved in the dev, and even interested in this tab that i'm thinking of selling it before it's outdated completely..
[General Questions and Answers] blender3d:
I'm afraid to step in as well. The problems with power management and that it turns on itself killed both batteries that terribly that I can't run it for even 5 minutes without ac supply. I'll try to abandon it as long it gives even a small fee. That thing was the worst investment I've ever made.
[General Questions and Answers] BENETNATH:
Hi guys,

sorry for staying on mute for some time.

Bad news incoming, i had to sell my tab. I'm quite broke, my wife had to take a second job.

Without spare time, without proper building rig and without the device, you can imagine that i won't be able to pursue some work on the tab.

To be honest, the dev was no as easy as we expected, even with source code released, getting it to boot was quite a nightmare.

The proprietary cable is really the thing that killed the tab, and i frankly thinkk that HP should reconsider this aspect in the future. I even mentioned that to the senior dev in charge of slatebook, at HP.

So, sorry guys, but i quit the boat.

I'll give you the actual only rom that booted, all sources are shared so everybody can take them there :

Sorry to hear about your situation, Ben. I hope it improves over time. Also thanks for all you have done in terms of creating a custom ROM and other technical wizardry to make this Slatebook a little more exciting. It's a real pity because on paper, it's a pretty good device and we could have a lot of fun with it but the cable price was a killer.

I'm still holding out for a cable but I might sell the slatebook if I don't find a cable at a reasonable price within 3 months.

Edit - just went to the HP Parts store and saw that the cable is still A$94 - what the hell, HP!?!?

[General Questions and Answers] Overandout:
Can anyone help me with a harware related question?

I have 2 slatebook X2s, both are 64GB bought in Thailand.

One has a problem with the base (it won't charge the battery, only the tablet battery charges, I understand this to be a problem with the power circuit part of the base board) and the other has a smashed screen.

I have seen on here that HP charge stupid money for repairs, so I was thinking of getting a cheap factory reconditioned 16GB model when I visit the UK next month and ripping it apart for spares.

Will I get any problems with compatibility? As far as I can see I will be able to retain both original main borads in the tablets themselves, keeping the 64GB memory and user accounts etc. And it seems that the screens and base boards and batteries have only one part number each in all regions and all verisons, so they should be astraight swap right?

Any huge gaps in my master plan?
[General Questions and Answers] blender3d:
As soon as you are comfortable with disassembling a tablet it should be alright. Beside the problem about charging might also come from software. I would try a factory reset before. Good luck anyway
[General Questions and Answers] Overandout:
Thanks for the response. I have the service manual and the work doesn't seem complicated.

Are you sure about the charging issue?

My understanding is that the base of the X2 was nothing more than a dock, and all the Chipset / memory / OS was in the tablet part. I don't believe that there is even any firmware in the base part?
[General Questions and Answers] blender3d:
Well to be honest I didn't measure the pins on the dock to identify some kind of adc based battery charge identifyer. But I would believe it has some kind of firmware and ic on it. However the slatebook all the time come up with the worst amount of different errors I have ever seen. Coming down to the android eco system they even managed to screw up the device so much, it even turns itself on randomly and causes very different issues with charging.
[General Questions and Answers] GrievousMcG:
One of the posters on the Slatebook x2 community has mentioned that he was able to root his Slatebook using the latest KingRoot application and is now able to run apps like Xposed Frameworks and the likes. Can anyone else verified this?

Actually there is a disgusting sidefact about the slatebook. I developed a simple application to write serial commands to different CDC USB devices (arduino and alikes). When I connect my devices to the slatebook's USB, my application gets called because of vid pid filter of android. Until that it is all fine. But when I connect the key dock my application gets called as well. I can imagine two possible reasons. Firstly there is a simple atmega inside which sends key commands. That would be way sad as they didn't even setup a real keyboard controller inside. Second possibility would be that they are implementing some kind of low level console which would set us able to implement about every hack we could imagine.

My Slatebook x2 is still the best 2-in-one with a full dock (with battery) available. I've owned many of the Asus Transformer devices (TF101, TF700 etc), but they always had issues - both hardware and software based issues). I much prefer the Slatebook x2 over any of the Transformer devices.

Unless I'm missing something, there really isn't anything better than that the x2 available - even to this day? My Slatebook x2 is probably the fastest device I've ever used. It's just a shame it's stuck on Android 4.x. Starting to have issues loading certain apps, etc. because of the old OS. But - I still use it daily and just can't find a true replacement. I've overcome most of the issues after getting root, but still has very fast battery drain when docked... But it has a great screen, great keyboard, very fast, extra battery in dock and generally designed well. I just wish HP actually supported the damn thing past Android 4.x...

What I'd *really* like to see is a 13" version running RemixOS or Phoenix OS!

I also bought the A1160 and slatebook x2. I miss the touch screen with the a1160 and hate how can't really upgrade x2. I'm looking at perhaps a 2:1 tablet with remixOS to be able to upgrade (like the Hi10 pro with the Z8350 chip).
[General Questions and Answers] jtrosky:
Funny that you should mention that... I just recently ordered this 11.7" 2-in-1 device that comes with dual-boot Windows 10 and RemixOS 2.0 - it's a tablet with a dock'able keyboard, 4gb RAM and 64gb ROM - it's called the Onda oBook 11 Plus. Basically, it's the A1160 on steroids:

Tablet:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252660620759

Keyboard dock:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/122258164398

No US sellers though, so you have to order from China. Will be interesting to see the quality - but it seems decent (all metal, etc). Although, upgrading Remix will be an issue most likely. But for ~$275 total, it seems like you get a lot of bang for the buck... Will definitely report my findings.

The A1160 is just so cheap - even though my unit was fully functional, it's already starting to have issues with the keyboard and the battery life sucks.. I'm sure that it's not going to last long - and is not very practical with the short battery life....

By the way, I did start an A1160 thread here:
