iGo Sierra with Touch HD - Touch HD Accessories

Anyone here using the Sierra ?
I like the idea of it have a removeable stand. Ofcourse the full size with functions keys is awesome.
Any feedback before I purchase one ?

Anyone tried the Vikuiti DQC-160 Display Protector yet?

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, if anybody has already tested (or at least ordered) the Vikuiti DQC-160 Display Protector on their Touch HD. Actually this might be kind of a hard question, because I don't know if it is available only in Germany or in other countries as well...
Please share details about quality and size (fitting).
Regards,

Hi,
I bought for my Ipod Touch :
Advantage : Very clear, simple to place
Inconvenient : lot of reflet
I have The ARMR200 for my TOUCH HD
Excellent for touch screen (easy cleaning)
no reflect

Does the ARMR200 fit as good as the stock display protector or are there any gaps? What about the colors? Do they still look good and clear although the ARMR200 is anti-reflective?
I bought the ARMR2000 for my HD. It fits well and reflections are less than with the DQC-160, which I used on my Trinity.
I would prefer the ARMR2000.

Running short on batteries?

I'd like to point out this great device, it works perfectly well with the touch HD and it is very handy!
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/fr/fr/consumer/cc/_productid_SCM7880_12_FR_CONSUMER/
it essentially doubles the autonomy of the touch HD WHEN NEEDED!
i got one when they were on the cheap from ibood, one day.

htc flyer pen possibilities...

guess too earlier to look\ask around..the possivilities using that pen on pad other than flyer, once the application is ported to general android pad... curious how difficult technically ?

I was under the impression that Scribe was dependent on hardware too, not just software. Does the flyer have a special digitizer? Can anyone else confirm?

Yes, the Flyer has an n-trig active digitizer
my naieve thoughts are....as long as screen is the same.....pen...we can get the pen without getting a flyer.
unless there are some ckecking/funtioning apps put in the pen along with its hardware, then we will have to deal with.....

Guess you didn't catch what the other posters said. There is a special piece of hardware in the screen of the HTC Flyer called an N-Trig Digitizer that allows the pen to work. I know there is a Win7 tablet on the market that also uses the same digitizer so the pen will work on that device as well.
Short answer, the pen will only do what it does if your device has a digitizer in the screen. Any sort of app has nothing to do with it. It is purely hardware based.
i see. so screen is different.

Is there any alternative app/ pen that would work similar?

errrr ...a stylus !?
the flyer pen even use a battery, to use it you have to press a small button so it sends electricity to the digitizer to detect the differentiation between itself and your fingers

Ok I deserved that! I actually bought a stylus and then returned it because I am looking for something that would allow me to make notes on documents and something that is a little more precise than my finger. I am thinking that I will just have to get a Flyer and the GT10.1 really does not serve this purpose.
the Samsung stylus is a little sharper than the regular stylus everyone is selling

maybe that + Evernote = WIN !?
Just FYI.
The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet also ships with a n-trig pen.
I have one of these devices and would love to have the functionality (instant editable screenshot) on my tablet.
So if anyone could dump the app from their flyer I would be willing to testdrive it

It doesn't work like that.
I have a Flyer and a Tab. In GB the Flyer's pen did as you say and captured a screenshot that you could then draw on using the pen. I've upgraded my Flyer to HC and the pen now behaves differently. You can use the pen as a stylus (interact with the screen/widgets etc), but you can also draw on the screen having taken a screenshot/make a new note etc using a special hardware 'button' in the Flyer casing (screenshot attached - you can only just make out the button you click on to activatwe the pen functions - where the pen tip is).
You'd therefore need both the hardware and software capability to use it.

Best Keyboard?

I purchased this keyboard for Christmas for my brother since he has an Acer Iconia Tab: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YHOUDI
It works great with my Evo View 4G for typing, the arrow buttons, and the volume buttons.
The app specific buttons, however (ie launch web browser etc), don't work. They work only with his Iconia Tab.
Is there a way to make them work with the Flyer/Evo View?
Or is there a better Flyer/Evo View-specific keyboard?

I bought myself one today for the HTC Flyer from Maplin in Derby. It cost me £29.99.
The dimensions are: 218 x 92 x 22mm. It has 78 keys, etc.
I am very pleased to have bought this one, after buying the hopeless one advertised for HTC Flyer on amazon dot co dot uk - hopeless because the size is completely wrong.
If you head to Maplin, the keyboard is called "Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad and iPhone". It is by "Cerulian Technology". If you want the product code, it is "Code: N53JN".
Enjoy!
i'm using the logitech for andriod 3.0+ it's pretty nice great size buttons are very nice. so far good batt life. runs on 2 AAA. comes with a case that doubles as a stand for your flyer while ur typing... *pretty handy* the main android buttons work. but same as you. it seems that the shortcuts for the keyboard to oen music and web don't work. but if i'm in the music app the play pause ffwd and rewind buttons work fine... so it must be something with the diff versions of honeycomb. and what the shortcuts are called or something. i think i payed around 50 for it on amazon. free shipping
For my money, the best bluetooth keyboard, bar none, is the iGo stowaway keyboard. The thing is amazing. It folds up into a package about half the size of the Flyer and about 1/4 the weight. Key travel and feedback is very good and the keys are nice and big. There are some compromises. There are no dedicated number keys, for instance. You type numbers by holding down a function key and typing from the top row of letter keys (Which have numbers labelled in blue beneath the letters). But the device is solid, and bluetooth connectivity is excellent. I never get repeated keys like I did sometimes with my other bluetooth keyboard.
The biggest downside is that the keyboard is no longer manufactured. You have to find a used on on eBay, and they can easily fetch $200.00 because they are so sought after. However, there is one trick to getting a cheap one: find the Dell version. Dell sold these things under license some time ago for use with a Dell Axim PDA. It's the exact same keyboard, but because not many people are aware of it, you can get them for about 1/3 the going rate of an iGo. I paid about $70.00 shipped for mine a couple of weeks ago.
I got a Zagg Keys Solo wireless keyboard for Christmas. Works well- even has some Android specific keys. The Flyer is actually listed as a compatible device on the website as well. But not all keys work-but works great if you need to do extended typing.
personally, i use the apple bluetooth keyboard. It works nice. I use an app for having it in AZERTY mode. The shortcut for sound or brightness don't work.
HP Touchpad keyboard, now discontinued and under £25, really really well made and a joy to type on. Works 100% with my flyer.

You can actually remap keys on a keyboard. Not easy but you can do it if you are patient.

Or you can do it the easy way with my app: http://www.apedroid.com/android-applications/external-keyboard-helper
It also supports remapping keycodes for volume buttons etc. but the keycodes supported differes a lot between Android releases (different API versions) as you can see here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_0
Also some keycodes like HOME are handled early in the OS and cannot be remapped unless you do it the hard way on a rooted device.
But you can do a lot with my app and it includes a lot of premade layouts.

Bluetooth Keyboards for the 7" model.

Any recommendations for a good Bluetooth keyboard, preferable within a case, for our beloved P3113?
Thank you.

Love mine!
The zaggkeys pro looks awesome. I have the freedom pro. I like it alot. The only thing I don't like about it is that when using it, the soft onscreen keyboard comes up too. I wish there was a way to disable the onscreen keyboard while using the Bluetooth keyboard.

There is an app on the market for this, it basically works by enabling a dummy keyboard application that's completely blank. I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the app, try searching on the play store for bluetooth keyboard ime.
Great solution. Thank you!

According to a reviewer at Amazon, it won't fit without major surgery. I think you'd be better off with a bluetooth keyboard, which would let you use the tablet in both portrait and landscape mode.
I'm using the Logitech Tablet Keyboard For Android 3.0+ that I bought at Target for $60 (it was $70 at Best Buy). The keys feel pretty nice. Also, when I first started using it the onscreen keyboard would pop up but all I had to do was press the "Esc" key and the keyboard disappears and I was still able to type. So for those of you experiencing that with other keyboards, try the Esc key. Then maybe you won't need to download a "dummy" keyboard app.
The FN commands work exccept for the 3 and 4 (mail and browser). Calendar, Music, Previous Track, Next Track, Volume Down and Up, and Delete. Has built in Home, Back, and Menu keys. Alt + Tab brings up the Multi-tasking feature of ICS. However flipping through the apps with the keyboard is a challenge as pressing tab does not alternate. The up and down arrow keys work but it jumps up a "page" instead of flipping through one by one. Alt + Tab and then tapping on the app you want is the best method so far. Overall I like the action plus the keyboard's case serves as a handy tablet stand as well. So that is kind of a neat feature.

I have the suntech (s-tech) bluetooth keyboard. Purchased for about 20GBP from a computer mall in Hong Kong. It works brilliantly and connects simultaneously with a Dell Bluetooth travel mouse. The keyboard occasionally inputs multiple presses uncommanded and the initial connection each session is hit and miss (it's probably me though).
I just press the down cursor when the onscreen keyboard pops into viev (thumb keyboard - it's the best).
I don't travel with my laptop anymore.
The zaggkeys looks good, has anyone compared it to the apple wireless keyboard?
The Logitech - Keyboard for Android 3.0+ Tablets looks nice. I may have to go pick that up if my samsung dock does not work with my tab2
I was looking at the zaggkeys flex, but found a zaggkeys solo on ebay for 9$. Anyone tried it or know the difference?

I'll second the Freedom Pro vote. When you're using it, you can select it from the Keyboard icon in the status bar and the on-screen one no longer pops up. When you're done with the Freedom Pro, just re-select the on-screen one (SwiftKey, for me.)
The typing feel is pretty good, but the size is what won me over. I chose a 7" tablet for size, so to "lug" around a larger keyboard was counter-productive.
My Zaggkeys Solo arrived. The size is perfect, big enough to comfortably type on, small enough to easily carry around. For $9 plus $4 shipping it was way more than worth it. Paired in seconds, works great!

This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280904414815#ht_724wt_812
The seller had some listed at $19.99 and others at $9.99. Not sure why the different prices, maybe he was just trying to see what he could get for them. Anyway, there was a Make Offer option, so I offered $9, and it was accepted. This keyboard is GREAT! I have absolutely no complaints. The listing says used, but I can't find even a tiny scratch on it. It didn't come with a cable, but it's a standard, I had several already.
Just purchased a Bluetooth folding keyboard by HDE for less than US$30. It pairs easily & quickly with my P3113. Center-hinged and folds to 5 inches. Purchased it for use when traveling. Available from Amazon, buy.com and other vendors.
Samsung launched student edition Tab2, with it they are giving Keyboard and USB OTG cable for free.
Specs:
7" screen
8 GB
Wi-Fi
It costs $249 and rumors says its coming globally on aug 19th.
So there is a hope who want samsung official keyboard for our tab 2, i am sure it will work with all other tab 2 7" edition.

I was looking for a keyboard case that would fit the Tab 2 7 on amazon and this
(search for "B00AIA5K0C" on amazon I can't post links yet).
came up. That particular "case" is for the Tab 7 Plus but I looked it up on wikipedia and the 7 plus and 2 7" are almost the exact same size. I went ahead and ordered it but didn't know if anyone knew anything more about it. When it comes in I'll let everyone know and put up pictures if I can. :good:
