I can sure use some help. I have just received (donated to our church) a 10" PC tablet. It's one of those generic tablets (looks most like the WPad). Anyway I've got questions but don't know where to go to get answers.
Can anyone help give me direction? I started here at xda because I know the best of the post-ers and the keenest minds "reside" here.
Thanks!!

what r ur Qs maybe i can help
Can not help you if we don't know what kind of tablet you have. Check this list to see if your tablet is on XDA
Thanks for the responses. First of all there is no name on this tablet. It is not on the list you offered; it seems like one of those generic "made in China" tablets that has a Windows 7 "Ultimate". However on the homescreen, it says "Windows 7 Build 7600 This copy of Windows is not genuine."
Did someone put that on the unit perhaps, or did it get built originally that way. I keep getting pop up warnings about a counterfeit Windows and certain things happen such as the theme on the home screen disappears everytime I turn the unit on again. Can I run this like it is? Is it possible to get a Windows 7 on this without paying hundreds of dollars to do so?
Again, its a generic model. It a nice unit and I really would liketo know more about it. It is large enough to have a fan, has 2 USB ports, front camera, HDMI, and a rocker switch (which I thought was a volume control but it only effects brightness). On the front there is only a windows logo button for bring up the menu. Otherwise its not a bad unit. I was just hoping for someone familar with it to walk me through it or show me where there might be a user guide.
A great title to come into a thread to be just confused

Hi,
On Ebay I have bought a XDA 2 PCB board. What I need help with is what other parts will I need to make work. So far I think I need:
1 DIY battery kit
1 Touchscreen LCD
1 Sync cable (which is best?)
some software for my PC, any ideas?
1 case, any ideas were I can get this from or has any one got one?
Any ideas on get this project up and running would be most appriecated.
Thanks
Cmcmill01
Software on the pc is no problem.
You just need Active Sync, can be downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync37.mspx
With the rest, I can't help you...
Cheers Jos,
Anyboby else with some ideas?
Has anybody got a faulty XDAII, wishing to sell?
Cheers
Cmcmill01
well i think that most peoples warrenty would replace their defect xda2 still
unless they abused it in a manner most faul that the company would notice
but with time and newer radio stacks and a full rom kitchen
you will mostlikely be able to get some
though as to buying the parts from new maybe diff to find and prob pricy aswell
Cheers for the Info
Has the XDA II got the same case as any other handheld?
As for the screen does that come in two parts?

all pda's i've ever messed with have seperate lcd and touch screen
Is there any way to test that board before you spend so much money, because the xda2 is so new I dont see you getting secondhand parts and to buy them new is likely to cost somewhere near the price of buying a warranted unit.
So here are my thoughts, if they are complete crap let me know. :lol:
Get the board, attach the power and sync lead (can it run with out battery attached just on the mains?)
Get the LCD screen (ACX706AKM sony part, XDA I, is it the same screen for the XDA II)
Load up the ROM and Radio Stack, is this all I have to do to get Windows 2003 on the XDA?
Then get a case, by that time I'll probably have spent more than a new one.
Don't think you can use a XDA I screen, because it has less colors (4K instead of 64K).

Does anyone know the Part number for the XDA II screen, I'll try and source one that way?

Are any Ipaq screens used on the XDAII?
cheers
i think there is an url somewhere for people who want to buy a new tft and touchscreen i'll look for it if you like
That would be great if you could.
Thanks

here you go
Cheers, for that.
But is that not for the XDA? not the XDAII, they have different screens!
Good luck finding a screen. I have called Sony trying to get one for XDA, and they referred me to the MFG who does not respond to any consumer inquiries. It seems that they don't want end users to have the ability to repair their own phones. If you find a source for the screen I'd love to know.
Good luck!

When I both it on ebay.com it camed with totaly messed up screen. Then the guy sent me a new one. I changed it and i did a calibration. now it is precise but only when i tap very hard. If I tap soft then its rather to tap on some other icon. I can hardly use my screen keyboard because it is frustrating to miss every secound letter. This digitizer(touchscreen) that he sent me, is it possible that it is harder then it should be? Maybe is some cheap one?
I'm really not in to this stuff but I would like to know what to do. Should I buy a new digitizer and change it, or I can somehow make this one to work correctly. Anyone who can help me thank you.

Ooops, sorry my mistake
Just got this a couple days ago and been noticing that it's seems to be getting laggy on me for some reason the more I use it.
Any suggestions you guys have for helping that? What are you guys doing right out of box with this, any must do mods etc? You guys have been awesome help in the past. And I know people have been working on things already and I thank you for that.
I noticed flash player says it's not supported for 4.4 and when it takes me to website it says it's not available, can this be true? I thought I read that someone made a flash player for it? Can anyone point me in the correct direction to download the correct one if it's true that one will work?
Also, any other cases/ keyboards out besides the Samsung one? Went to BB and that's all they had.
Thanks all, I did read other post but they are mostly about the 8" ones.
:good:

change the screen animation to 0.5.
can't comment on the flash thing since the only videos I watch are on youtube.
There's the Logitech keyboard/case.
yes, the tab pro forum is filled with threads about the 8.4 one.
I have the pro 10.1. I followed the instructions on the following website and have flash working just fine on my tablet
http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-t...r-nexus-7-running-android-4-4-kitkat-0152824/
For cases, check out Amazon. I found a decent selection there.
For lag problems, find the app Cache Cleaner NG in the app store. I have it set to run every morning. If the tablet starts to lag again after heavy use, I will run it again.

I got a case and keyboard from Amazon. The case is a WAWO Samsung Galaxy Note & Tab PRO 12.2 Tablet Smart Fold Case Cover (white) which comes in several colors for $13.99. Once you snap the case onto your tablet it is very secure and will not fall out. If anything it's a little difficult to remove which I like. The keyboard is a SANOXY® Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad/iPhone 4.0 OS/Android/Window Mobile/Symbian Smartphone/MAC/PC (white) for $13.46. It looks great with my white tablet and white case. If your looking for the perfect mouse for your tablet then you'll want a Samsung S Action Bluetooth Mouse. They come in white or black and have the same stitch pattern as your tablet. The right button functions as back, middle button functions as home, and side button functions as recent, so no need to reach for your tablet when watching on a big screen.
Hello XDA Forum,
my daughter's tablet screen was cracked. A Chinese web shop offered replacement screen (lcd, digitizer & glass combo) and I ordered giving them correct model of the tablet. Now, I received physically perfectly fitting gear but I won't get any image on the screen. I can see backlight lit for a short while.
I swapped the faulty LCD/digitizer/glass back and could see picture just perfectly. So it seems like resolution issue. I even swapped the new LCD back while tablet was powered up (I know, I know..) and I could see picture in the replacement screen as well! But the image was distorted just like you've seen in CRTs when resolution/refresh don't match the screen capabilities.
Tablets model is Asus ZenPad 10 Z301M-1B006A. This site explains the differences pretty well:
w w w . p d e v i c e . c o m
/comparison/asus-zenpad-10-z301m-vs-asus-zenpad-10-z301mf
Even the GPU is same for 1920*1200 and 1280*800 system.
Actual replacement LCD is NV101WUM-N52 (1920*1200).
It perhaps should have been TV101WXM-NU1 (1280*800).
I saw some web shops giving possibility to select resolution but my Chinese web shop just asked the model. I have perfectly correct model in the order.
The sticker on the replacement panel says ATAB435 and "Asus Z301M Z301MFL" plus some Chinese chars. This suggests the LCD was indeed intended for Z301M/1280*800 tablet.
Now, the question is, could my replacement screen picture problem be due to wrong initial Android bootup resolution setting which I could possibly change with adb thus upgrade the tablet to 1920*1200 reso?
Hope this question made any sense at all.
BR,
Timo

I don't have this device myself but, I did a little digging around...
First of all, I did see that the new display is actually compatible for your device.
If this were me, my next thought would be to go to the following manufacturers website FAQ section...
https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS-ZenPad-10-Z301M/HelpDesk_Knowledge/
... and see if I can locate anything that's regarding the Display (ie... LCD, Digitizer, Display, etc...) to see if there was anything that may/might/does apply to your issue.
Personally stating, I can only assume that it may be tied to some type of Calibration or similar.
Just to clarify, if this were me, and nothing worked, I would just double check all the connections. Specifically for connections that may be loose, dirty, disconnected (by accident), etc... because things can happen when putting them together that was overseen/forgotten accidentally.
In addition, I would look at some YouTube videos in replacing the Digitizer Display for the same/similar device. I would do this only as a reference regarding what I did and see if I had overlooked anything.
If all is well and nothing was successful, I would personally feel that this Digitizer was simply defective. I would then look to begin the process of returning/replacing the Digitizer.
If I obtained the same Digitizer part, and the same happened, I would just look into return/exchange that one for the other part.
It's really hard to diagnose many items/issues without having the actual/same device.
I hope that this was helpful in some way and I had explained this okay via text.
I do wish you the best of luck!

First of all, your effort is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Very interesting. What made you think my replacement display combo (LCD: NV101WUM-N52) is compatible with Z301M? All hints I could gather was stating it's compatible for Z301MF* models.
I tried to look for this information but couldn't really find the proof.

This is my study hypothesis as well. First, I was thinking that my problem is just due to the LCD not understanding the signal sent to it by the GPU.
commands like:
Code:
adb shell
wm density DPI (Change display density)
wm size RES (Change display resolution)
might change the startup resolution so that the new LCD can show it and otherwise get initialized properly.
I was just puzzled that Google didn't give any hits of people doing this so I just couldn't believe I'm the 1st one to experience this. This is why decided to ask here.
What I do not know is can ARM or tablet hardware in general negotiate screen refresh/resolution/DPI information via the cable or is it always something which is hard coded in the firmware itself? After all a tablet isn't really a plug and play hot swap equipment, eh?
Only thing avoiding me to test above approach is that the web shop may want to replace my new LCD. Let's see how it boils. Is it broken or is it electrically unfit for the hw/sw model I have?

I hear you. I did this approximately 10 times. Some 5 times I switched back to the cracked 1280*800 and shows the picture fine. Back to NV101WUM-N52 and all I get get is backlight.

Jep. I think I just need to send it back to China. But please come back to me and tell how did you come to conclusion the screen is fit for Z301M?

I've seen that part number for your device within some other websites like Amazon, eBay and even Asus as a replacement part option.
I've seen this before. Sometimes a new device will have upgrade options when it's first launched.
I've got an Asus Transformer T100TA Tablet where this option was provided for the Digitizer, Memory and a few others.
As a matter of fact... I've got my Asus Tablet still apart with the newer Digitizer Display ready to be put back together. Unfortunately it's been ready to be assembled for approximately a year now (shame on me... LOL! ).

It's actually my first (and only) tablet I've ever owned. It's like a BIG Android... LOL!
I've got a good handful of various Android devices, 3 Laptops and 2 PC Towers (with 3 monitors). This list only includes what's actually working (also less the various parts as well). On top of the various projects I'm involved in bouncing from one to another as well as Life itself.
You can see why reassembling the tablet is actually something I want/need to do, it's just not very high on my priority list at this point in time.
I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you.
One last detail for the record should someone else sometime stumble upon this problem.
Z301M original LCD is KD101N59-42NA-A8 which was later replaced, according to test report 081-170425-200, by TV101WXM-NU1 1280*800.
So be careful when ordering replacement screen for Asus ZenPad 10. There is also some green & yellow connector difference which wasn't involved in this case but I just wanted to mention it here.
Hello all, I'm looking for advice/opinions on which is the best solution in my particular case for disabling Alexa. I'm getting a Fire HD 8 tablet for my friend so they can use it to get audiobooks from their local library. However, they won't want to have a spy in their home!
I've identified two options:
-- root it and remove Alexa
-- open it up and physically remove the microphone
The tricky part here is that if anything goes wrong after it's in my friend's hands it would be tough for me to fix it for them because they live far away. And they aren't as tech savvy as I am.
I think I'd prefer the software solution as long as it doesn't require ongoing maintenance that is tricky -- like, do updates get pushed that put Alexa back? Because if so, then I'd probably better just remove the microphone and call it a day.
Advice or suggestions are welcome! Also, I guess if people think a completely different device would be better, I'm open to suggestions. It just has to be under $100 USD. Thank you in advance.
