Asus VideoPhone AiGuru SV1T

W7 video calls works on every gadget except the Asus VideoPhone AiGuru SV1T .The problem just started when I updated to my the latest Skype App version 6.3.0.105 on W7, they can't see me anymore when i video call my parents using my ASUS VP AIRGURU SV1T, but i can see them.

So anyone that owns an ASUS SV1T device is now stuck at Skype PC version 6.1. That’s terrible backwards compatible support. It’s the "Logitech Revue" all over again (Logitech charged hundreds of dollars for a Google TV device, and a year later dropped support). Why can’t Skype support devices that were sold as “Skype Certified”. Some of us have a substantial investment in these SV1T devices, and best I can tell there is nothing on the market with a similar form factor. I have too many bricks in my electronics graveyard from software companies that decided, “We’re no longer supporting you” and oh, by the way “there’s no upgrade device path”. I’m hoping Microsoft doesn’t obsolete these devices simply because “its too difficult” to maintain backwards compatibility.
Sighed “Software industry practices suck”

Is there an Apple alternative to using the Asus videophone. Is there a simple FaceTime alternative for an elderly person to use. iPod and docking station maybe?

I have an elderly parent and recently bought a secondhand Asus SV1T video phone to be able to Skype from my Mac, iPad,iPhone etc. The device was perfect from a usability point of view but when I set it up discovered that the latest vesion of Skype is not supported on the Asus and there is no hope of Asus issueing a firmware upgrade to fix it. So the question is "is there a facetime alternative that an 85 year old can use". It needs to be simple to operate, always on and reasonably compact. One thought I had was using an iPod in a speaker dock for power and amplification. I assume you can then tailor the front screen to simply show the facetime icon. Anyone got any thoughts?

You would need to have an iPad with 3G, and pay for cellular data service for it. If you have a wifi-only iPad, you simply cannot access the Internet anywhere that there is no wifi network available. You could tether it to a wifi hotspot created by a smartphone, though having a smartphone significantly reduces the need for FaceTime, I would think.

Auto-answer on Samsung TV?

My Nan currently has a
ASUS Videophone Touch AiGuru SV1T set to automatically answer video calls.
I can't find an auto-answer option on the Skype app for her new Samsung TV.
Does anyone know how to set the tv to auto-answer? It's a really useful option for elderly relatives who struggle with buttons/remote controls.
Many thanks.

auto-answer can definitely be set in the settings of the Skype app that is built into the Logitech TV Cam HD
unfortunately I am not near where mine is installed so I cannot give exact clicks to get to where it is configured

Neil

ASUS SV1T videophone - can't download contacts

Hello,
My ASUS SV1T can no longer download the contact list. All it does is stay on the "Downloading contacts" dialog forever. I tried signing out of the account and signing into a brand new test account, and it did the same thing. The phone isn't really much use without the contact list. What should I do?
Thanks,
Ori

It is a software problem, but on an ASUS device. Guessing the operating system is property of ASUS, they will look after it. However, I opened a ticket. I keep you posted.

ASUS Skype SV1TW videophone no longer works after ...

Skype says go away. We don't support the product labeled "Skype certified".
I bought this for my 85 year old parents for Xmas. Well it's now April and I have finally received word to stop trying to get it to work. It will not. It needs firmware and neither company will discuss a fix.
After many days of trying everything, they finally tell me what they knew all along. It doesn't work. Can you imagine both of these companies selling this device to the senior and elderly. Criminal.
If I get enough response from the other owners, I will start the class action lawsuit.

The only time it responds is when I tap the area directly above the microphone.
Sounds like a hardware problem. Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, call them up and let them deal with it.

Issues with Arch, xorg and Asus eee 4G 701

Hello, this is my first post here
I installed Arch 2009.02 on my Asus eee 701(4G), the installation went well and the system was up and running within minutes. I configured the wireless card (Atheros) which arch supported out-of-the-box and updated the system with pacman -Syu. Then, I installed the intel driver for the vga of the eee and attempted to configure X.
The issues started at this point. "Xorg -configure" appeared to work, but when I did "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new" all I could see was the mouse cursor as an X and nothing more. The touchpad didn't respond and nothing worked.
Then, I tried using "xorgcfg" but even though the screen worked great (I could see the stuff displayed), the system couldn't receive any input from the touchpad and thus the result was just a little bit better than with "Xorg -configure". I tried to reboot and use a USB mouse to see if the cursor responded but to no avail...
As a last resort, I decided to use the xorg.conf found on the eee page of the archwiki. I downloaded it in my PC, saved it and used wget to move it from my ftp server to the eee. I moved it to /etc/X11/ as xorg.conf and attempted to run "X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to see if it worked. Unfortunately, no result. xorg attempted to start and then quit with the error "Fatal server error: no screens found".
That's pretty much it... I have no idea what to do next or why the xorg.conf found in the Arch wiki doesn't work... Any suggestions would be really appreciated...

I did what you suggested above, but it still fails. Then I studied the log and I found this:
Parse error on line 10 of section files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
"RgbPath" is not a valid keyboard in this section
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
EDIT: OK, the discussion page on the Archwiki helped. All I had to do was remove the 'RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"' line and xorg worked flawlessly

Cam I use Asus mini display to VGA adapter on mac with thunderbolt port

I don't have a apple mini display to vga adapter, but my friend have a Asus branded with similar design like apple, I have a presentation two days more, so I need answer quick!!!
My mac: 2012 mid 15 inch

I mean the Mini Display to VGA as in this website:
http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1002131/

Can anyone help me solve the problem of text displaying very rough on my new ASUS PA279Q display monitor running off my MacBook Pro?

This is regarding a brand new ASUS PA 279Q, 2560 x 1440 IPS monitor. I'm connected via mini display port (into thunderbolt port on MacBook Pro) to display port on ASUS monitor; using cable ASUS included with the monitor. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro…full specs at bottom of this post.
I have resolution set at 2560 x 1440 which is the native resolution according to the ASUS spec. I tried the other resolutions available in my System Preferences and text displayed rough with those settings too. I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness and sharpness via the ASUS control panel and didn't solve the problem. Also tried calibrating via Mac's system preferences/display and that did not improve text display either. All the text on this monitor (no matter what software I launch, Finder, InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, Excel, VMWare Windows XP, Windows versions of Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc, all are consistently rendering text the same way --- ROUGH and with "HALOS" around each letter.
All point sizes of text and at various scales, display very rough on the screen. (My comparison is the retina display of my MBP and a Thunderbolt…so those two displays are my expectations.) I'm using the same MBP for both a Thunderbolt display (at work) and this ASUS at my home office.
On the ASUS it's not as noticeable when the text is on white backgrounds, but I'm a graphic designer and compose images with text all day everyday. Not to mention the specs on this ASUS PA279Q indicate it's built for the professional so I would expect better text rendering. I haven't even addressed color calibration and balance yet, because that won't matter to me if the text won't display any better than it is now.
I was so hopeful after researching all the specs on this monitor it would be a viable alternative to the glossy display of the Thunderbolt display. (Which, I do love the Thunderbolt display for it's clarity and how it displays crisp, clean text at all sizes. (This ASUS actually displays text decently if I increase the text so each letter is about 4" high. Which is pointless for practical purposes -- that'd be like doing page layout through a microscope!)
I kept holding off on getting a monitor for the home office thinking the Thunderbolt would be updated soon. I'd be sick if I dropped a grand on piece of 2011 technology only to learn a few days later an updated Thunderbolt display hit the market! Not to mention, I'm praying Apple comes out with a less reflective Thunderbolt display. The glare and reflection is the main reason I looked elsewhere for a large monitor; hence my asking for help. Hoping the ASUS text display issue can be worked out. My expectation is for it to display like the MBP retina and Thunderbolt display text. That possible?
Alternatively, I guess I could do the Apple Refurb Thunderbolt at $799. And see if there's a decent aftermarket anti-glare I could stick on it?
Thanks for reading my post. Hope someone can help; offer any suggestions? Words or wisdom?
Has anyone else had similar issues and figured out a resolution? Help!
MacBook Pro

I uninstalled those two items. It still runs slow on start-up and when opening safari, firefox, iphoto, itunes, etc. It's not snappy like it used to be. Any other ideas? Thanks.

[solved] Xorg-1.8 + KDE on Asus 1201n : dupplicated Fn key event

Hello,
after upgrading to Xorg 1.8 one week ago, I noticed that my Fn keys (sound up/down, mute) were dupplicated. For example, if I press Fn+F10 (=MUTE/Unmute), the sound get muted and immediately unmuted.
Moreover,

Any idea what could be the problem ?

Nothing ?
Switchng off hal deamon and cleaning ~/.kde* has no effect...
So, after searching on google again an again, still nothing found.... even among the Ubuntu specific issue where post are terminated
with "wait next version of the package", the windows-style answer.
I will continue my attempts to fix this... but my conclusion about this is that hal was more precise in his behavior than udev...

Udevd and creation of /dev/dvb/adapter0 fails for U3100 Asus

Hello all,
I have 3 arch PC's all running 3.14.4-1-ARCH properly updated. For some reason all 3 fail to create a /dev/dvb/adapter0 or adapter1 device when I plug in a dvb usb stick.
The DVB USB stick from lsusb:

Seems like /dev/dvb/adapter0 is created and removed, not even a /dev/dvb/adapter0 folder remains. Strange enough, on of the systems has a PCI DVB-S card and there the DVB-S adaptor0 is created but creation of adapter1 (for the U3100) there also fails in the same way.
Does anyone have a clue on how to search for a solution?

Ipad 2 not detected in recovery mode on my ASUS Windows 7 laptop

I have had this issue on all my idevices since I got this laptop, so this isn't directly associated with the new update.
I can sync my idevices with itunes on my laptop without any issues, but every time I try to install an iOS update, when it get to the stage where it is "preparing to restore your device" or some such, the laptop installs a new device driver and then itunes just spins awhile until it finally spits out error 1601 and then the device is stuck on the screen where it prompts you to connect to itunes.
At this point itunes on my laptop will not detect the device. I can see it listed in my device manager and it claims the usb driver is working correctly, however it no longer makes the beeping sound when I plug or unplug the cable, though it does disappear and reappear in device manager, which indicates it recognizes ipad plugged in, but not in the same way.
I have tried all the advice on the apple website re: unintalling reinstalling itunes an all it's components, disabling antivrus, firewall and non essential services, removing usb devices etc to no avail.
If I take my device over to my parents 32 bit vista desktop it recognizes it, installs the driver and itunes recognizes an ipad in recovery mode and I was able to restore the software and update to the new iOS on that desktop, then had to bring it back to my laptop to restore the software from my last backup.
My first question is....when the new ios is being installed is it putting the device into recovery mode as part of the process or is it going into recovery mode because the process errors out? If it's the former, then my assumption is that the whole issue is that for some reason something on my laptop is stopping itunes from being able to recognize my ipad while in recovery mode. If the later, then ?
My second question is....is the problem the driver, the usb port or something else unique to the laptop? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but if i let winows detect it after uninstalling it can't find a driver and i get the exclamation point. If i try to manually install per the apple instructions, it tells me that the driver file is not compatiable with my device. So either windows is somehow installing the wrong driver while device is in recovery or the comp isn't detecting what type of device it is properly or ?
I'm hoping maybe i can get the next os update over the cloud and this will become a non-issue, but having to go borrow a pc to update this thing gets really old as the laptop is my only computer, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Laptop is an ASUS ROG - not sure the exact model running 64 bit Windows 7 It has two usb ports and i have the same issue on either one.
The PC i successfully updated my device on is an older Dell running a 32 bit version of Vista

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

ASUS X550Z laptop troubleshoting

Hello Arch community!
Recently I've brought ASUS X550Z laptop, and I've found difficult to setup some things (like WMI keys or touchpad) correctly.
I must note that I'm using KDE and open source Radeon drivers.
Short spec:
CPU: AMD Quad core FX-7600P
Memory: 8 Gb
HDD: HGST HTS541010A9E680 1 Tb
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version: 202 (UEFI), revision 4.6
Video: hybrid Radeon R7 Graphics / Radeon R5 M230 2 Gb
List of issues is following:
- touchpad not working at all (recognized as ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad), with heavy error output in dmesg, similar to this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48161
But after installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/psmouse-elantech/ it is recognized as PS/2 Elantech Touchpad. No multitouch or scrolling are supported still. Now, dmesg reports errors:
# dmesg | grep psmouse

- WMI keys not working. acpid can't catch any event, same at systemd. Power button event is working though.
- Power management from the box is suck - laptop can't live longer than 2-3 hrs.
- Lid open/close not working as well.
- Sometimes KDE reports a discharging, even if discharger attached.
- Sometimes laptop cannot wake up properly, lock up happens. Sometimes it lock ups even during idle when in comes to power-off monitor. journalctl reports:

- KDM starting 15-20 seconds long, showing text (console) login screen.
- Sound with ALSA not working from the box, since default device is wrong. Fixed by using
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd_hda_intel enable=0,1
- Annoying bug - sometimes changing volume in alsamixer\kmix\pavucontrol\mplayer causes hanging of application. Backtrace will be provided, as soon as I will be able to reproduce it.
- Radeon graphics not working, mkinitcpio.conf tweak helps (below), but still can't start two X sessions simultaneously

Hi Sal and welcome to our community
I've seen others report that they had issues with "High
Definition" sound cards. But I've not seen anything from a generic
perspective. You might try the following articles:

Video card recomendation - Asus GT430 or GT520 or 210

Hi,
I´m trying to decide on buying a discrete graphics card.
At the time I'm using an onboard Intel GMA 4500 (which works pretty well but usually when I get out of sleep mode in W7 64bit the file I have open in photoshop gets frozen, I zoom in and out but the screen doesn't refresh; I have to maximize photoshop for the file to refresh. Sometimes it doesn't even refresh after restoring photoshop).
Maybe this has nothing to do with the video card and is just a photoshop issue.
Anyway, which of these 3 cards do you think will improve the performance (the cheaper the best):
http://www.amazon.com/PCI-Express-EN210-SILENT-1GD3-V2/dp/B004I8W4VI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie =UTF8&coliid=I97DB7AU5TWVQ&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (USD 45)
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-GeForce-Silent-Profile-PCI-Express/dp/B004X68L44/ref=wl_it_dp_o _npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2DMCG99CPWXXF&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (USD 60)
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-PCI-Express-ENGT430-DC-1GD3/dp/B0051UWKUW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie =UTF8&coliid=I3KL9BC6YWAB99&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (USD 70)
Do you thing it's worth buying a video card or should I stay with the one onboard.
I work in web design and I use Photoshop CS5, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (sometimes working with Ai/Psd files from 30 to 60MB, these files are the ones I notice stress more the machine when zooming or moving layers).
I don't play games. I watch HD video but the onboard card handles it quite Ok.
Thanks in advance, Jimmy

I've had the best results with ATI video cards, myself.
Reading between the lines, if your budget is under $100 I'd recommend the VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5670 (which is the card I use), or move up to the newer 6670 model if you have a few $$$ more.

Best Buy baited me and switched up on the ASUS G74SX-BBK9 vs. the BBK11 - not cool!

My question to Best Buy is - Have things gotten so bad in your business that you have to resort to what amounts to bait and switch tactics to get people into your stores?
I am a long time customer and Rewards Zone member. Between my family and my extended family I would say I have an impact on 7 to 10K in Best Buy business annually (conservative estimate really) as the family tech guru. Unfortunately more often than not I find BEST Buy, really isn't in the long run and I find that sad. Let me give you an example:
I have been following the ASUS G73 and now G74 laptops for the past couple years. I have been interested in getting one because I am a middle aged performance computer nut and will not settle for sub-standard performance even in my portable computer. The ASUS G74SX-BBK9 caught my eye and I went down to the local Best Buy with cash in my pocket to pick one up. When I arrived I learned that the BBK9 is nearly impossible to find but I am in luck, it has been replaced by the BBK11 and it is in stock!. Upon closer inspection I learn that the "new" BBK11 is really the same computer as the BBK9 with a low performance hard drive AND A HIGHER PRICE!!! Please allow me a moment to inform you that when it comes to IT hardware it does not INCREASE in value as the model ages, it actually LOSES value. And it is crystal clear to me that Best Buy thinks:
1. They can pull the ole switcheroo and no one will notice.
2. The customer is stupid and has more money than brains.
3. Specs are meaningless in high performance computer hardware.
4 or all of the above!
But what really got to me was the attitude of the staff. I asked if they could help me locate a BBK9 and I would buy it that second. After a couple minutes of a passive search they said it was impossible to find. Strangely enough it is on the Best Buy site - granted it is now listed as an Outlet item, but it clearly is available somewhere.
It does not make any sense to pay more for less and that makes me sick really. But I will be traveling for 10 days and don't have time to do an online order so I offered to buy a BBK11 but at a slightly better price than the $1249 it was listed at. Being completely fair - I would pay $1249 for a BBK9 in a microsecond if I could find one!!! But alas it has been marked down $70 and is only available in stores if you win the lottery and can find one. I am guessing it is right next the the unicorns and pot of gold at the base of a rainbow in the software section!! Are you starting to understand why this feels like a bait and switch?? The website says it exists, but good luck finding one - just feels like a foot traffic in the store come-on to me.
After a few minutes the lady I spoke with came back from a visit with a supervisor and said, "the price that is on it now, is the price it sells for and there is nothing we can do, and we have nothing else to talk about." I agreed that she was right about one thing - we have nothing else to talk about and I left feeling like an idiot for even walking into the store in the first place. A word of advice from a customer service manger - making your customers feel like idiots is not the way to build a business that will last. It is the way to alienate your customers and ruin your brand reputation in the long run.
Good luck and I hope you survive - but I think you are way off track........

So you are expecting for BBY to stock a discontinued model?
I agree that Asus dropped the ball. They did make an inferior "new" product. But that's not BBYs fault. There are probably a few BBK9s out there, hence why it's still on the website but online stock checks aren't 100% reliable.
If I was BBY I wouldn't have budged on the price either. They are just a middle man and because you want to buy it for less just means they will see even less profit on a razor thin margin to begin with.
This is far from bait and switch as it wasn't advertised, Wasn't put on an unbelievable sale, nor did they upsell you to another product. You researched what you wanted, thought you found it at BBY and when they didn't have an outdated model in stock then the next model was suggested I assume.
