Asus Memo Pad 8 ME180A - User Reviews

  • Did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem. How did you solve it?

  • It's not an iPad you DOOFUS!

  • Remove back with knife carefully a disconnect battery for 5 minutes then reattach and reassemble should work

  • I like this Ipad it very nice, i can see brother's reflection... Casuls...

  • Why no document editor?

  • Why no GPS. ????? Memo pad 7 has GPS.

  • Plz i need help ... When i charge my memo pad 8 while it is on it is all normal but if i charge it while it is off then it gives me wrong percentage [charged it for 3 hours while off and when turned on it showed only 21% !!!!!!]

  • My memo pad has now failed for second time , screen will not turn on , fully charged but will not function any ideas

  • is this upgradeable to kitkat?

  • How do I get started on my memo pad 8. I

  • Good evening. I use this device from mars 2014. It.s ok for allmost aplication. ASUS MEMOPAD 8 ME180A has GPS. I download from play store ''osm and" and "gps status". I can find my location without wifi. Just gps. You must set few things like: location ,gps, you know what I say. Good luck.

  • Keyboard problem disappeared when keyboard sound is off. Donno why.. but it is probably sw related. Hope Asus will fit it via a sw update.soon.

  • We're both experiencing the same problem about the screen especially when typing.

  • I had using it for almost a year and it is doing great so far, a great value for budget tablet despite of the poor camera quality

  • I bought this product 3 weeks ago. For the first 8 days everything was functioning superbly, but on the 9th day wifi won't connect to any network. I brought it back to the Asus shop and they replaced it after 2 weeks. The replacement unit was far worse than the first one. In less than 24 hours the entire screen showed permanent pixels of red and green. Now my memopad 8 is back to the service center again and I'm still waiting for any feedback. I'm very much disappointed with asus.

  • Can anyone tell me why my asus memo pad 8 wont connect to my wi fi help

  • For my case, just turn off the volume and it will fix the problem. Or change your sound to Speech mode. Let me know if this work on your tablet.

  • Have same issue when using backspace that display takes touches all over the keyboard. Sometimes not usable .. very annoying. Any solution?

  • You can buy LG G Pad for 5999CZK (299USD) and Asus Memo Pad 8 for 4490 (229USD) . LG is realy better in many ways but on Asus it was possible to connect externall 2,5" hardrive without any problems - LG's USB port is not strong enough for power suply it. Next thing is that LG has some limitations on writting on SD card because of KitKat restrictions.

  • Good to hear that you finally get your money back and bought a G Pad 8.3, i am sure you are now a happy user of this beautiful machine, just too bad that I can't find this model in my country. Can I know how much different in price between Memo Pad 8 and G Pad 8.3 in your country?

  • That's good :) Each repairment took about 10 days. The last one took 30 days but they didn't fix it so I get my money back and bought LG G PAD 8.3 :) I am from Czech Republic.

  • Believe it or not, the problem doesn't exist anymore since the day before I decided to send it to service center, it's been 3 weeks that I didnt see the problem happen again, even though with SOUND ON!! I just hope the problem will not happen when the warranty is expired (touch wood >.-). How long it took for them to change the touch layer and display? Btw, I am from Malaysia, where are you from?

  • This is very interesting - every time I saw this problem I had sound on. I sent my device to the service center three times with this problem. First time they replaced touch layer, second time they replaced touch layer and display but problem persists. So i sent it again and I am waiting what they will replace now. I am very disapointed with this device :(

  • I found a way to solve the problem, try turn off your sound and see the touch screen is functioning well, at least this works for mine. but playing games without sound is not enjoying at all :( Anyway, I plan to send to service center but due since the center is far away so I will cope with the problem for now. Let me know how it goes at your side.

  • I have a ZTE MF667 3G modem and internet data is working. And the description is wrong up there , this device does have GPS (GPS+GLONASS) .

  • Does anyone else have a glitch with their screen? On my start screen my lock button acts weird, and the screen sometimes has a gray line on it that appears for a second. When streaming video and I slide the cursor to a part that hasn't loaded yet, it'll glitch like that.

  • can this memo pad use mobile internet data from sim card?

  • Sometimes I have the same problem with sw keyboard and there is weird touch screen acting durring the gameplay. It looks like it recognizes touches on places where I din't touch screen. Do you find solution for this? I have new memopad made on 01/2014. Factory reset fix this for few days but this problem returns...

  • The screen is Gorilla glass, so fairly scratch resistant. The main review also said no GPS but this item in conjunction with a GPS app will lock in to the GPS or Glonass systems to provide you with excellent geopositioning.

  • can somebody confirm the presence or absence of OTG. also does this have scratch protection of any kind for the screen?

  • Anyone here experience a screen problem (especially typing) in memo pad 8? For example: When you type DELETE (backspace), it will show .com and sometimes ENTER. I experienced this also when playing candy crush whereby you moving this candy but instead other candy is moving.

  • how much did you buy the 8GB from ALL IT? do you know what's the price for 16GB white colour? thanks

  • I bought mine from DirectD subang jaya rm525..U need to add rm30 for white color.. pro : works fine for 1gb game con : bad picture quality using rear camera.. last time my N95 have better camera than this.. Best option for budget tablet!

  • I also bought one from ALL IT lowyat Malaysia. Asus only brought in 8GB version (4.25GB usable). Main issue is the device only recognise the internal memory as primary storage and DIDNT support any third party apps that can transfer apps to SD. SD card only can used for camera picture, movie, PDF files or music storage. Power consumption relatively low compare to 10'tablet. GPU just soso but support most of the games. Antutu benchmark can go up to 19k which quite reasonable due to 4 cores 1.6GHz CPU. 189ppi is more than enough for normal use. Highly recommended as a mid-end tablet.

  • To the guy who said his memo pad stopped working after 2 weeks: Hold the power button AND volume down, for a while, about 20 to 30 seconds. It will reboot the tablet. That's it. I have the Asus memo HD 7. My girlfriend the HD 8. Honestly, I am very happy with the machine. Movies, books, web browsing - all fine. When I need more power, I switch on my i7 notebook. The memo pad, for reading/movies in bed, and while traveling.

  • My friend bought this as a gift for his lil sis. B4 that i tried playing some games using this tab. I must say I was very disappointed with its gaming performance. Even when playing light games such as subway surfer, it was quite laggy. Anyone has gaming issues with this tab?

  • may i know the problems about this tablet? i mean a bit more specific

  • i buy this menopad 8 this is useless but the memo pad hd 7 work very nicely i prefer anybody to but hd 7

  • Hi,dear friends.You are free to buy whatever you like with your mony!I hate imposing opinions and using ugly words but I can,t close to that facts that I fought for it!I don,t know what is going on in the Asus as the third most important motherboard and software maker in the world!As a matter of facts and tests,Memo pad 8 is a low end tablet very below avarage in design,performance,features,cpu,the rest:NO,non-removable battery,but only good cameras!Nothing important to be mentioned about this low tablet!It,s lifetime if it works is 8 months!The company that made google nexus7-2o13 and notepad 6 can make better things with so much facilities at hands as it made google 2 masterpiece!It has only about 6 good devices among its 60 products up to know!As a self scientific free opinion,I don,t suggest buying this student workshop for school to anybody who cares about money and quality!Asus who made padphone one,two,mini,note6,and google7-2 outstanding can make the better and best but not disposable can!Moral Facts!

  • Dude honestly your problem is probably either fake or rare because between my family we have three and they all work great. You should not assume the worst and go out and say you should have never bought that company because my iPhone broke and apple was being difficult, but now I am very splendid with my phone (still from apple) so bassicly in conclusion it's a problem no one else seems to have. And if it's a problem with the tablet then don't bash the entire company Asus is a fairly reputable company with good for the price quality

  • u can get as low as RM 540 from lelong

  • What version you buy? 8gb or 16gb version? What is the price in m'sia? Thanks!

  • I bought it in All IT Hyper Market in Lowyat plaza in KL just 2 weeks ago and totally satisfied. It has GPS and BT. No point to complain and mush more faster than HD 7

  • i think is better asus memopad hd 7 from memopad 8..

  • i think is better asus memopad hd 7 from memopad 8..

  • i just bought an asus memo pad 8 and it does have GPS... and even a screencapture shortcut when you click on the recent apps icon and hold.So...case closed lol

  • The CPU/SoC is a Rockchip RK3188, according to here (scroll to the bottom): The 1.6 GHz Cortex A9 RK3188 (with quad MALI-400 MP GPU integrated) is a far better performer than the MTK8125 in Asus MeMO Pad HD7! (Both RK3188 and MTK8125 are all designed and manufactured by chinese manufacturers)

  • I'm suspecting this is another MediaTek chipset and most probably doesn't have USB on the GO function as well. Look at how asus promise to have USB OTG but didnt happen on Memopad HD7! Is ASUS is going to trick us again with this MemoPAD 8???

  • Its a tablet, not a phone... its not going to have 3g or be a hotspot... Think before you complain please...

  • hello there? please tell me when this tablet arrive at Malayia? please answer me! help meeeee!

  • I bought the ASUS memo pad 8 in late Oct 2013 in Singapore Harvey Norman. To my horror, the machine refused to turn on after one week of normal light use (less than 2 hours per day). It went totally dead. Second horror, their Service centre did not call me after one week. When I called their hotline, I was told that they are only the call centre and do not know the status of my repair. They promised to call me back but failed to do so even after 2 days of calling. I seriously regretted buying this table, should have bought another brand altogether. Quality and Customer service issues compounded and very very bad. Please DO NOT buy any ASUS products and commit the same mistake as me !!

  • Hi,friend.If you like facts,please read my documentry scientific opinion about the Asus Memo Pad 10!!!?For the community interests sake,tell you beloved ones too!?Burning your dear money or give it to a charity is better than buying these supportless costumers careless Chinese empty cans!?Asus is the money powerful but doesn,t know that the sun(Facts) doesn,t always remain behind the cloud as long as unbuyable free factwriting independent great honest gsm exists!Next time I disclose the top secrets about the aims of making these void cans that with information they get from them,productions of them costs nothing for these Chinese Asus boxes!!!?Good care not to buy as their lifeTimes are between 2 months to 1year!!!?Truth=facts=victory+thanks gsm!
