[Q] ThinkPad Tablet -- The business-class Android tablet. Can it be rooted? - General Questions and Answers

I am interested in people's opinions about whether this tablet will get rooted. Everything else about it is perfect. If it can be rooted, I'm buying it.
Can we get an Xda forum for the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet?

I'm also interested in buying it but waiting to see what xda developers think in comparison to the Transformer. Could we get a forum for it?

I chatted with a Lenovo agent today. He checked into this for me and confirmed that the bootloader is not locked.
Here's the conversation:
Please wait while we connect with you with a Lenovo Chat Representative.
You have been connected to _Ryan.
_Ryan: Thank you for choosing Lenovo chat. My name is Ryan XXXXXXXXX and my ID is XXX. What may I help you with today?
Me: I am interested in a Thinkpad Tablet...
Me: Is the bootloader unlocked?
_Ryan: one moment
_Ryan: I am sorry I do not have the specs for that
Me: I read on a forum that it is unlocked, but I want to confirm that before ordering. How can I confirm it?
_Ryan: one moment
_Ryan: it is unlocked
_Ryan: just confirmed
Me: oh, great. With that information I don't have to worry about potentially having to return it and pay the restocking fee.
_Ryan: yes, it is unlocked so you're good
_Ryan: If you are placing an order online, please attach my Rep ID: XXX in the designated area at checkout near where you enter your credit card information. This will allow me to help manage your order from my end and expedite this through manufacturing.
_Ryan: adding my Rep ID: XXX will allow me to ensure your order is shipped in time and I can give you updates on your order status
Me: thanks - i'll use your agent code since you answered my question. I appreciate that!

Since this rep confirmed the unlocked bootloader for me, should I paste his ID here?
All of us who are concerned about the unlocked bootloader could use his agent ID when ordering and give him a little unexpected boost.
I chatted with several other agents who could not and would not answer the question for me, so I appreciate that this agent took the time and effort to confirm it.

I'd like to see a forum for it as well. Very interested in it.

Does anyone have key combination suggestions?

Got my ThinkPad Tablet today, and I love it already!!
Root would be wonderful!!!

My Thinkpad Tablet is arriving today as well! Can't wait to get off work and try it out...
All the early adopters need to get posting on XDA, so that this tablet is embraced and some work can get started on rooting it!

I'd love to see this rooted.
I'd also like to see (like most Tegra 2 tablets) a working Skype with video and Hulu.

Mine is shipping to me as I type...can't wait to get it.

Had mine for 24 hours. See some reviews and forum talk here: http://ThinkPadTabletForums.com/

I got mine on Thursday 9/8. Having some fun tinkering around with it. Sadly, the pen and keyboard folio are being shipped at a later date (ordered from macconnection.com, they were about $50 cheaper than directly from Lenovo), so I haven't gotten the parts that made me choose this tablet over the many others out there.
Can't wait for root, though!

Not sure what model you ordered but I got the 64GB one from pcconnection and it came with the pen. Glad I canceled my Lenovo order and ordered from PCC...Lenovo kept pushing back the ship date. From PCC I got the tablet the next day after ordering and it was about $100 less than Lenovo since there was no tax and it came with the pen.

according to the lenovo shop where i got the tablet from, the pen is in cluded in all 32/64 GB models, only the 16GB models come without the pen.
have mine now since 1 week and i'm very happy with it! hope that an own forum will appear soon so the dev on this nice piece of hardware can start ;-)

I would also like to see this rooted! Really liking it so far!

+1 on dedicated forum and root request, this would make the tablet even better. I have to be able to titanium backup restore my angry birds .

Ah, yeah, I got the 16GB model, didn't really need more storage than that (and if I did, I could just pop in an SDHC card). Wasn't aware that the higher capacity models were bundled with the pen! I suppose that would explain the price differences a bit.
Looks like PCConnection and MacConnection are the same business, but it was just that MacConnection was what came up in my shopping search. It's interesting how much cheaper they were than directly from Lenovo, heh.

Hp Touchpad Info from Best Buy

Hey guys, I work for Best Buy and I thought I would post here just to give anyone who cares a little bit of an update. As of this morning, we were told to pull all the HP product and ship it back. Then, we got an email (not sure if it was just our district or not) that said we could sell them for $99 and $149 respectively! So we did, the 16GBs sold within 2 minutes and the ~20 or so 32GBs we had were gone in less than 15 mins. What kinda sucked was that I wanted one, but you couldn't buy them if you were on the clock When we were notified that we could sell them around 4:45PM, as many employees that could took their lunch and bought them and the employees that were leaving at 5PM bought the last of them.
As of right now, we aren't supposed to get any other stock in and any shipments we would have had are getting sent back to HP. We (Best Buy) has a very good relationship with HP so they don't have a problem taking them back and selling them.
Some stores may not have gotten the notification that they can sell their remaining stock yet, but hopefully they did. You may have a hard time finding one, but good luck! If you guys have any questions on this, I will try to answer as best as I can.
remain 99 dollars?

Sorry, I edit my post to include that. Yes, $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB.
I hope you get one viper, would love to see your rom on it when they port android to it
I tell ya...it's been a pretty convoluted event with this Best Buy B.S. At one moment they say they will ship all TPs back to HP and then the next moment they are selling them off. I actually got one yesterday morning for the full price and waiting for it to go on sale. Then Best Buy reports they won't go on sale. So I return mine for a refund yesterday after the report. The people at the store confirm they won't go on sale too. Then today they go on sale and are already sold out.
That's BB for you.

Well I have the Transformer now bug would love a Touchpad, my dad bought one but he doesn't know if he wants to keep it or not so I will take it off his hands if he doesn't. I tried to but one yesterday but you had to be off the clock which sucked.

Yes it was screwed up. They are sending the rest back but they were under a lot of pressure to sell what they had in stock. Even worse is that if you bought it from BB before the price drop, they won't match it. And our store told us that people could not return them if they bought them at the sale price.

Hey, everyone. I'm a fresher here/ And i have a question about this site: www 365gate com I want to buy a 5 inch tablet pc from there to my son.

Thanks. my friend bought one item from 365gate.com
and get it safely with a perfect package.
Looks not bad..
I also bought a tablet from 365gate on the 5th of January and have heard nothing despite writing to them several times on their site.
I have escalated this case to Paypal and we'll see what will happen. I doubt I will get my tablet so my advice for anyone interested in buying from 365gate is to avoid it for a while.

Geekbuying.com - Buyer Beware iMito QX1

Hi There,
I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from Geekbuying.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.
I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.
It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the Geekbuying forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.
This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and Geekbuying.com have completely ignored. See these threads:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2539-imito-mx1-no-signal-to-tv
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4053-Imito-MX2-black-screen
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3447-Imito-MX1-doesn-t-work-gt-Black-Screen-No-signal
After reaching out to Geekbuying and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.
Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:

I am sharing my experience, in order to ensure others don't go through the same, and to share my experience purchasing the iMito QX1 - which on paper is supposed to be an awesome device, but falls short in execution.
Good luck.
Thank you for posting this. I hope your post will help others to be aware too. But I have to tell you for every post you find like this and believe me there are many. You will also find many post on other forums that will defend this company and have complete lack of empathy.If you read those threads you will find as I have. They are generally from people who have a certain (ahem, cough) relationship with them. It sickens me to say the least. BTW, its not just the device you purchased either. I try to let people know that a lot of these divides can all so be purchased through Amazon. I am not promoting Amazon. I am just saying if something does go wrong. You have a much better chance of a fair outcome. Sorry to here of your episode. You were more than fair with them. I will not be surprised if there is a reply in their defense. Then again, maybe not here. But, try a certain f****tab forum and you will see what I mean. Good luck.

Thanks for the support - I'm sure you're right - I just hope that the sincerity comes through and that if someone who is looking to purchase an item from them and sees this post at some point, may possibly reconsider.
I never do things like this and if it were a small amount I'd likely just forget about it, but it's a $90 product.

Amazing such issue's were had.
I also bought my QX1 from Geekbuying however I ordered via Amazon (bundle pack with external antenna & Cat 5 USB adaptor)..
My order was received 4 days later (via USPS).
The unit works great & still no issue's on my end with my unit.
Also bought an airmouse from them (via Amazon again) & received that the day before last (2 days after order)..
Long of the short of all of this is I wouldn't put such hate towards one posting that's seen..
As I've had no issue's on my end once so ever..
Just stating my $0.03....
Shame about the issue's though as the QX1 really is I nice little device (however deva support is still very limited)..
My experience with imito qx1 is also positive. Bought it on geekbuying.com and was aware that shipping last LONG. Got it and it works like a charm. Had same issues in the beginning but flashed it with Finless 1.5 ROM form freaktab.com and it works great. That was a good decision.
I was able to RMA my CX-919 to geekbuying for just return shipping $8.
They asked for a youtube video of it not working!
Took two months but the new device works great.

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!
Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

Where To Buy?

So, anyone know where I can pick this beast up?
I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

Wow ,it is the moment I found Vivo showing its AD(LOGO) on the World Cup 2018 field that I realized Vivo NEX might be for first time Chinese Android phone actually became a shining superstar in the world.
Finally Chinsese phone manufacturing companiers Vivo and Oppo got Snapdragon flagship chipsets. OMG!!!!
Wish you get the phone soon .
BTW, it is for the first time I realize that living in China can actually be a convenient way to get a certain nice electronic device excluding Xiaomi's .
LOL

I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

Yea, please let us all know how you like it when youve had time to play with it for awhile. I know I wont pick up one for a few months, maybe Christmas time. I am very eager to see what developers start doing for this phone tho, I hope it has a huge following.

I will test my new device for sure. Especially those things that bother me most: is that fingerprint on display efficient? What about apps that use fingerprint for confirmation or login (bank apps, safeincloud,...) Will those still work? Will the device 'feel' the difference between tapping the screen and adding your fingerprint? Will apps need to be updated for this device? What's about that screen vibration that replaces the speaker? And will it still play music without earpeaces? Then what about Google play; will I be able to install my favorite apps and will they run as they do on my other devices? In a way, it's all part of the excitement of expecting an new device...
I prerecorded mine here:

Seems to be a trustworthy vendor. 100% positive rating, responds fast and accurate as far as I can tell.

Thanks for you information, I appreciate it very much. So far it seems the only one I can find short of waiting for JD.com to ship to Canada is liaow.com.
Have you ever ordered from them and I assume by your comments a good experience?
Thanks again
Looking forward to hearing feedback when those of you who have ordered this phone rec
I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy this year, so many have come out or are due to come out. This phone looks interesting, I like the size of the screen, the battery capacity, the rear camera specs and the fact it's an international phone that includes LTE bands for North America. I hope to see some reviews once new owners receive their phones and have a chance to use them. Thanks in advance.

This is what the Mi Mix 2 should've been, what the Lenovo z5 wishes it can be, and what every notch phone needs to be. Lol.
Anyway hate that resellers always jacking up these initial prices. Gotta wait a couple months before I can pick up this bad boy.

I haven't ordered from them, but know they are excellent. In the same respect I know that WondaMobile is also an excellent place to order from, from others who have bought from there.

I ordered the flagship 256gb from your first link. Observing that the seller seems to be responding to questions and from your advice I'll trust him. I'll report back to see what happens.

I can confirm this seller is a boss. He communicates really fast and guess what! The Oppo Find X that'll be announced in 2 days will be carried by liaow.com and he will allow me to switch my order if I want! He also messaged about switching the language to english and preinstalling the google play store.

Oppo Find X looks beastly too. People are hoping that future OnePlus 6T will be based off it.
Good luck with whichever phone you go with
Also listed on Banggood and CECT-SHOP, but you can't order it. I think it will be available next week.
Yeah for me if will be the Vivo Nex or Oppo Find X. Tuesday we know more about Oppo Find X
Finaly the dream phones are coming.
High-end phone, big flat AMOLED screen, black color, almost no bezels, no ugly notch, dual camera and et cetera.
