I just wished it filled up the entire screen. Interestingly the TF701T doesn't fill up the entire screen either.
[General Questions and Answers] bobiscool07:
just a warning about over heating. My tablets touch screen completely messed up from it, and would require a hard reboot+ a bit of cooling down to work correctly. and at times the whole screen would stop working. I've sent it in for repairs, but I think the overheating will remain...
[General Questions and Answers] blender3d:
Well in play many games with it. Most times MC4 which isn't tegra optimized but running high class vision engine. Even after a couple of hours with power plugged and WLAN for multiplayer it just gets warm. Not even almost as hot, as my old tf700t.

any comments on the new update? fixes?
[General Questions and Answers] aznmode:
If I'm reading the date right, it was released 10/11? So it's not a new update.
[General Questions and Answers] gdfrisco:
It's a new update. Mine didn't read my 64gb sdxc card, even if HP file manager can read it without any issues. A no command warning message on boot loader seems strange, I updated from my 64gb USB stick and so far so good, haven't noticed any improvements yet.

Still a bit yellowish, only a bit. Doesn't bother me. Hopefully they will roll out a 4.3 update pretty soon.

update

hy, for this "new" update, i've made this today but no changes, same kernel, same date and version.

in the package, there is 2 files: 1 update-WW and 1 update special china.

in the readme fils, it's talking about a version 18, but i'm always to version 17, so i think that's the version 18 is only for china models.

maby one day, we'll have an update with R/W acces to ntfs partition,......

and maybe root acces to, please, for christmas!!!;)
[General Questions and Answers] GrievousMcG:
It sucks that this device is not getting that much recognition on this site.

It isn't a bad bit of kit especially after that last update and the screen is better too. If you download Chainfire's app called "500 Firepaper" which is essentially a wallpaper that contains photos from the 500px website, the screen looks really good and doesn't show much signs of yellow tints that plagued it when it was originally released.

I've asked the people behind this website if they can encourage someone to do a comparison review between this and the new Asus Infinity Transformer. I haven't heard back yet from them yet but I'll let you know if I do.

Also it might not be a bad idea to send a message to regular contributors (such as Jimmy McGee, Eagleeyetom or Will Verduzco) to this site news section with the above idea to see if they can do some sort of feature on it.

My guess is that most people who own this device are simply enjoying it and are not wasting their time whining about not having root on this site. I get the "desire" for root; until the x2, I've rooted every Android device I've owned (5). But, its just that, a desire and not a need. The x2 works great as it is...its stable, its fast, battery life is excellent, I love the keyboard and it does everything I need it to do.

Don't make the mistake of thinking the x2 is crap just because all you see is whining on this site.
[General Questions and Answers] danaobrest78:
Why rooting the tablet ? My answer is simple : I'm afraid that HP will not update this tablet to 4.3 or Kit Kat ... If this tab is rooted, there will be a chance to install Cyanogen Mod with those versions !

[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
My Note2 came out with TW 4.1.2, I rooted it and went from 4.2, to 4.3 and now to 4.4 using CM. Its a great hobby, but I haven't really gotten that much feature improvement and my phone is constantly buggy with Nightly issues. No doubt, its fun having the latest and greatest...but there's nothing additional that I'm hanging out for on my x2. For me, I'm quite happy with how it is rather than wishing for greener grass and getting weeds.

This is just my opinion...I'm sure plenty of others will disagree. But I am curious...what specific features are you currently missing that 4.3/4.4 would give you on your x2?
[General Questions and Answers] danaobrest78:
Why having Kit Kat ?

- the immersion mode,

- a better photo editor,

- a better memory management,

- a better security ...

[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
Fair enough, if you need these features, then you need a device with Kit Kat. For me, I have no need of any of these features for my x2; its a media consumption device and it does the job just fine as it is.

Your problem is that there is no 10" device with it; sure you can wait for the TF to be rooted and a dev to cook it up for the device...but, my TF201 was constantly buggy after rooting and putting CM on it, and laggy and slow. I'd take the x2 any day.
[General Questions and Answers] conan1600:
Your experience is not everyone's. I have rooted and romed more than 40 devices and have achieved great success on most. Sometimes one does have to work or wait for it a bit but overall it is of great benefit to have root access and custom Roms. By the by if not for custom roms the tf300 and tf700 would be almost unusable. While the x2 is capable on its own, it could benefit from tweaks.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Your entire demeanor in this post is offensive to me. Most people are not "WHINING" as you write but simply expressing a desire. The fellow your reply is based on was certainly not "WHINING" but had interesting perspectives and was attempting to further many people's goals.
[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
I don't disagree that having CM or Omni or AOKP running on the x2 would provide some tweaks. But all you have to do is look back through every page on this post to see that 95% of comments are more or less "the x2 is crap because there is no root for it". I wanted to add my "interesting perspective" to say that I believe this is completely false. One guy even took his back for no other reason than it wasn't currently rootable.

Not only that, I was responding directly to GrievousMcG, who made the same assessment as myself (above); there is far too much negativity about this device that is centred around its lack of root-ability, rather than its features (or lack thereof). Why would you be offended? I never directed any derogatory comment to you. I'm sorry if you are offended, not my intent. But I will call it as I see it regarding the general constant negativity over this device that I feel is unwarranted.

I get why root would be good. But instead of trashing the device because we don't have it, why can't we discuss something that will add some value? What apps are guys using? What games work well? Are people successfully using this for productivity? How is Firepaper working for people with the screen quality issues? How are people finding the camera? What's the WiFi speed like? How's the battery life going? Anything that might actually help people decide whether this is a good device or not for them.

I just ordered one of these. I live in Thailand where electronics are a lot more expensive than the U.S. But I came across this tablet for about $300 (that's 50% off the regular price) for the 64 GB version and a 2 year warranty. I've been wanting an ultra-portable tablet hybrid and was thinking of Windows RT because I need to do some light word processing using Word. But at this price I'm going to give it a go (and I'd be happy to stick with Android.) Hopefully one of the Word compatible Android apps will be good enough for my purposes.

Lucky. I wish we had more than the 16gb model in the U.S.. 11gb of free space after the OS isn't good enough for me.
[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
I'm using OfficeSuite Pro; it has a similar deal to Word/Excel/Powerpoint, as well as a PDF Reader, all in one interface. Its a bit like a very early Office; its got reasonable features, but the interface is simple. Its also got compatibility with all doc/xls/ppt formats, as well as the new *x formats as well. I have had some issues with editing on OfficeSuite and then going back to MS software; the templates don't always transfer exactly as I'd hope.

Its good for getting some basic work done on a plane/train/small office, but I still prefer my laptop for serious work.

I put a 32GB microSD in the tablet and another 32GB SD in the dock, giving me ~70GB of useful space. I find this ok for storing videos and music. Having an option for 64GB would be handy though.
[General Questions and Answers] aznmode:
Actually I want more than 16gb for my games. Most games I play take up at least 1.5gb of data which cannot be stored on the SD card. I'm looking at 5 games limit not to mention other regular apps I want to install. This is one reason I need root so I can use folder mount to make use of an SD card for game data.

Has anyone noticed some apps as being incompatible with the X2? Google Keep was incompatible according to the Play Store. So I downloaded an apk and it works fine. Also Swype (my favorite keyboard) is listed as incompatible. I emailed them and they basically blamed Google and told me to deal with them. Contacting Google is a convoluted process and I really don't expect much of a response so its apk file time for Swype too.

I get the message "Open GL ES 3.0 is not supported by your device". Is this a software thing or a hardware thing?

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

I updated 10hrs ago; its been up since then. I'll let you know if I have any issues, but its running great so far.
[General Questions and Answers] bobiscool07:
It doesn't support it completely

" Tegra 4 / 4i processors do not explicitly support OpenGL ES 3.0 API due to not having a few features such as FP32 pixel shaders or EAC/ETC2 texture compression format support, but Tegra 4 / 4i processors do support many of the important ES 3.0 features"

not sure if the picture is clear enough. I'm on mobile at the moment.

Just means the game performance wont be as fast or as good as possible.
[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
The pic was great.

What are the consequences of no openGL 3 support? I'm playing Anomaly 2 at the moment, its quite new, graphics are awesome and its designed for T4...so I don't feel I'm mssing out on anything so far with the x2/T4 (excluding root, of course! :p )
[General Questions and Answers] scanline:
Had to do a factory reset then my tablet stopped random rebooting never had that issue before the upgrade but it works fine now
[General Questions and Answers] bobiscool07:
Not really much in terms of consequences. Tegra 4 is a high end processor, so we wont have any problems play good looking games. OpenGL 3.0 is basically just code that will allow the developer to make better looking and better performing games. Since tegra 4 is already powerful, it wont make a big difference. a good explanation:

" OpenGL ES 3.0 adds several optional features which will improve the performance and quality of smartphone games. Delving into the specifics, the introduction of occlusion queries will allow an application to better determine the visibility of objects, reducing the number of vertices rendered on screen when they can’t be seen. This should see games run a lot smoother.

The update also sees the introduction of instance rendering, where duplicate items can be rendered with slight alterations without the usual associated performance costs. Transform feedback for particles and support for four or more rendering targets will also assist developers in producing superior looking games.

More noticeably for end users, OpenGL ES 3.0 includes support for superior ETC2 / EAC texture compression, allowing for higher quality compression. This means that developers can squeeze slightly higher quality textures into the same file sizes. This will not only free up GPU memory, games will also require less space on your SD card."

For now, no OpenGL 3.0 is okay, but for the longrun, when more devices and developers support openGL 3.0, it will weigh the tablet down.

The tablet already performs fast; getting 5-10 more FPS wont make a difference if you're already chugging out 50-60 ;)
[General Questions and Answers] sooperwill:
im thinking about getting one of these now!
[General Questions and Answers] Rydo111:
I am sure you've read about the root limitation, but other than that its a great device.

The Good:

Super fast

Running basically stock Android (now 4.3, yay!)

Great keyboard (better than the Asus IMO)

Battery life is great (although some have stated battery life as a neg)

Great storage extension options (micro-SD in the tablet, SD in the dock), although the SD has popped out on me during travel once.

Miracast

HDMI out

Charges fast with the brick

The Bad:

No GPS

No light sensor for auto brightness

The screen res could be better

Some discussion on the screen hue (yellowness), but I don't notice it

Build quality could be better (screen wiggles a bit in dock)

No connection cable to a PC (and no root)

Has recharging brick (like a laptop) only, no compact wall adapter (like the Asus)

Cameras are pretty low quality

Get the 64GB unit if you can.
