dyoung5 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Hi, my RM Slate has just arrived, and for the most part, I'm loving it. I upgraded it to to W7Pro and joined it to the domain, but now I need to put my password in to login. The problem wit this is that when I resume from standby, the on-screen keyboard does not appear automatically, and I have to click the ease-of-access button, uncheck the on-screen keyboard option, recheck it and click OK for it to appear. This is a pain, and makes logging on quite a bit longer than it would otherwise. Has anyone else had this problem, and if you have a Slate or other Win7 tablet device, could you try using a passworded account and see if you get the same issue? Thanks, David
ZeroHour Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Not seen it but I would expect a hotfix to be out for that. SP1 is coming any day now so I would hope that resolves it.
Luke_T Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 did you get a dock with your slate? can you tell me what ports it has etc ... we're just trying to figure out if it;s worth getting one.
jamesreedersmith Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Does the wireless connect before it trys to login eg - can you login with any domain credentials?
Chris_ Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Sounds like there's no HID driver for the touchscreen. Is there a permanent keyboard on the logon screen normally or do you have to bring it up from the accessibility options? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_92UFpWRIzAA/S4djHabBWFI/AAAAAAAAAfA/-iNjMlYaLoA/s1600-h/viliv_S5_calibration_HID_cardboard.JPG

I've tried SP1RC (took an age to install), but that hasn't sorted it. I'll try it when it's released and see if it fixes it. did you get a dock with your slate? can you tell me what ports it has etc ... we're just trying to figure out if it;s worth getting one. I didn't get a dock I'm afraid, just the slate. Does the wireless connect before it trys to login eg - can you login with any domain credentials? The wireless is connected, and I can login fine with the accessibility keyboard, but it is a faff to enable it each time. Sounds like there's no HID driver for the touchscreen.

I want it to be like the second one, which looks much better and integrated. Thanks everyone. David

My Samsung Q1 displays the keyboard everytime and Windows 7 recognises it as being a touchscreen rather than a generic input device.

I've tried downloading the driver from RM, I have a case open with them now. Thanks.
Edu-IT Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I wasn't much a fan of the Slate. What use do you see for it? I thought the screen was either not sensitive enough, or too sensitive when using some applications, and the rotate delay was frustrating.
amax758 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 hi Does anyone know if you can download android apps to the RM Slate?
plexer Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Isnt't it a win7 tablet? If so I guess that's a no. Ben
Arthur Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Does anyone know if you can download Android apps to the RM Slate? Although you can run Android apps inside of the Android Emulator on Windows, you might as well just buy an Android tablet in the first place and save yourself a lot of hassle.
Killer_Bot Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 did you get a dock with your slate? can you tell me what ports it has etc ... we're just trying to figure out if it;s worth getting one.
