Vpad 7 has been out for a while in the UK and there ar a bunch of cool roms for it. Its a solid little device.
I order the viewpad 7 today from amazon. I couldnt wait any longer for the huawei s7 slim. does this pad come with built in gps? if it doesnt i have a holux 236 bluetooth receiver i could try to use with it. At this moment i cant remember why the s7 slim was my first choice.
Yes. the view pad 7 does have gps.
Hey all!
I need to buy a bunch of Android (version 6+) tablets that are at least 8" but ideally 10" for our field devices. We would like these to be from a well known brand like Samsung, Lenovo, Sony etc. The devices must be IP rated for dust protection and also water and also have 4g/LTE.
So far, I've found Sony Xperia Z4 but it seems Sony has now dropped out of the market. Samsung Tab Active 2 is an option but is only 8" and I really do need to see what other options are available.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Does M-Pen stylus work on M5 8? or just M5 10 Pro?
M5 Pro Only.
The M-Pen and its functions. has anyone used it/them yet? I know the really nice functions from the Galaxy Tab S3 (like screen off note taking) and cool stuff. Does anyone know about the functions of the m-pen? and which apps would you suggest to add to the Stylus the most?
as for note-taking, I hope nebo can hold up to the expectations that are created by their website x.x

I know it's really nice indeed, but the biggest problem is that Android doesn't support stylus, however Samsung has S-pen, google has pixel pen and Huawei has M-Pen, and each company has its drivers and the apps that works with, so third party apps have to support each one of them.
1 just stumbled upon this:https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/stylus seems like stylus support to me?
Most apps that support styluses also support this one. Apps dont have to target specific hardware. I mostly use lecturenotes, handwrite pro, xedo and the preinstalled nebo for huawei. The latter is a pretty cool app, especially the formula editor.
Other than that the pen can take screenshots. Huawei didnt implement a lot of pen specific apps or features. I enjoy it for uni mostly. Unfortunately ezpdf reader doesnt work with android 8 or at least not with this tablet.
Havent found any pressure sensitive apps which wouldnt work with this pen. Try sketchbook for example. It even alters the line with different angles like a real pencil. You can do decent drawings =)

I think nebo is quite good. My handwriting is not recognized all the time ... I am a historian after all ...
I bought my former tablet for the same purpose, using it at university, however, the battery was too bad. I had to charge the Galaxy Tab S3 after 3 lectures (each 90 minutes), and all I did was making notes etc. I switched to the Mediapad M5 Pro, mainly due to this ... (Although I finished my studies last September...)
The Screenshot functionality is kinda ... dunno, useless to me ...
I am using Pen&PDF (free, without adds) for working with pdfs. It's a lot like Samsung's "Write on PDF" (which is not available for other devices, if I am not mistaken)
I hope that some neat features are introduced by this great community, of which I am merely a part, as my coding skills are not that advanced
I had bought the regular M5 10.8 because of the Space Gray color. Does anyone know where I can buy the pen separately? The ones that I saw on ebay are for the M2 tablet.

I too bought the M5 10.8" (non-pro) because of the space gray color. Anyone have recommendations on a stylus/pen for the mediapad m5 (non-pro)?
Don't need it for ultraprecision, just light photo editing.
a friend is using https://www.wacom.com/de-de/products/stylus/bamboo-tip with his Tablets - I tried it with my S3 that I had before and with my Galaxyy S8 - it worked quite good! However, I haven't tried it with the Mediapad M5 (pro) yet...

Help me with my Huawei MediaPad M5 10.8
Hello everyone I need help, I bought the Huawei MediaPad M5 10.8 (not the pro version) and then I bought the Huawei mpen. Well, the tablet does not detect the mpen. I have contacted the technical service by chat on their website and I have been told that the mpen is not compatible. How can this be possible? Can I make it compatible in some way? Thank you.

Its hardware related so nothing can be done...
A friend of mine use MEKO pen (about 20$ on amazon).
I'm gonna buy the m5 non pro because the pro version is too expensive compared to these added features.
M5 non pro with 32Gb and sd 64gb will be good enough. I'll buy this pen for drawing some stuff.

Really?
In Malaysia we have M5 8.4 LTE about $360 USD and M5 pro LTE $460 USD.
For $100 USD you get free men, larger display, 7500mah battery and 4 speakers!
If you are ok with 10.8" then the 100 buck will be worth every penny.
In the US
M5 8" wifi only $300
M5 10" wifi $360
M5 Pro wifi $450
If you really want to buy a 3rd party pen such as the Wacom bamboo pen. It might behoove you to just get the pro version. I ended up selling the m5 10" non pro to buy the M5 Pro version.

How come?
I only got the pro because the difference between regular& pro was about $70.
Hi,
So i've bought Mediapad 10.8" M5 Wifi 32Go and MEKO pen.
It works very well.
300€ for mediapad (with 50€ refund offer) and 13€ for the meko pen.
I'm looking for a 128Gb SD card now.
The pen seems kinda useless to me to be honest?
Hello! I bought a new MediaPad M5 lite with a stylus, but the stylus does not work. Does it need to be turned on or activated or something else? At me such for the first time a stylus. I will be very grateful for the help.

Same thing happened with me.
Turns out mine came without charge.
Charged and works fine.
probably stupid question, but I'm looking for a new tablet. I want a large screen, 4G Data capabilities, and pen capabilities. I'm liking what I see in the Huawei MediaPad M5, but have two questions:
1.) the not-Pro version...is it not-Pro just because it doesn't have the Pen, or are there other features that make it not-Pro?
2.) only place I'm finding the full-on Pro versions available is from China. I'm in the US. Will I have a problem with connectivity?
Thanks!!!!
