Asus Memo Pad ME172V - User Reviews

  • How buy it from alexandria

  • I replaced my son's screen for $18 purchased from AliExpress. It is usually shipped for free, but this takes about 6 weeks to be delivered. Make sure you know which type you require. Open up the tablet so you can see the part number and what the connecting parts look like (there are two types- one has a single connection and the other has two tabs that connect to the motherboard). You will need some tools and slim, double sided tape, which can be found on Amazon. Go to YouTube to watch various videos to help you with this. It's not hard to do this, just a bit fiddly and somewhat frustrating getting the old screen separated (I used my hair dryer to loosen the tape). I hope this helps.

  • Is it turning off instead of sleep? Then turn off Developer Options (Developer Mode).

  • display not working where can i change it, and estimate cost

  • Im sick of android 4.1.1 please send an update for lollipop....thanks

  • hello brother i had the same problem with u but i solved it using the following web site it will give u a software to help u restore ur tab to factory . please follow it's steps carefully.

  • I have the same problem. I didn't use this ME172V for a few months and now it is asking for a password. I entered all passwords I have used and it will not accept any of them. How do I reset this device back to a factory settings/default? And is there anyway to save what apps I have and any information on settings, photos act...or am I facing a Factory Setting Restore? Either way I need to use my ASUS Memo Pad ME172V. Thank you for your response. OPSMAN

  • Only a 64-bit CPU is worth updating to Lolipop and beyond. And with Asus tablet, it's best that you bought an Intel cpu tablet because Asus has the best support for Intel CPUs

  • i purchased adapter with microusb at 1 end which plugs into the table and the other end will have a socket you plug the usb cable into also i have found a lot of stuff about this tablet like you can print wireless to most printers but for some you can use the USB as the tablet will can downloaded drivers to it

Thank you though for your support, i really appreciate it.

  • Hello,Dorian and friend. I've had same trouble with you at a time and fix it. If you want to fix your trouble,please follow this step: 1. Download the "cleardata.zip" from 2. Unzip that file to a MicroSD card 3. Insert your MicroSD to ASUS Memopad device 4. Press power button to boot 5. Choose "clear user data" by volume key and press power key to do the clear data Fyi,this step will erase your memopad data. I didn't found another way to fix it without erase your whole data. I think this step can be your last option to fix your Asus Log In.. -Saut/ID

  • I am not able to open the pad. It is asking for input for keyboard mode and later a password is required. I do not remember the password. How do i go about it.

  • OK lah

  • Hi,dear factwriting asus.I wrote my opininion based upon facts.But it disappeared!!!?I don,t know who and why!Please as usual if you find my opinion,you have the rights to delete,moderate,or modify the sentences or words that you don,t think are expedient to be released!?I want to stress that my opinion was not illogical but mere facts!Also I know asus is very influential,rich,and powerful!I thank you very much to do the best!But as you already know my eyes because of chemical gas in war are very weak to write constantly!I know and believe that you are the only site to write and defend facts fearlessly nepotismlessly!I know what is going on!But alas,pity,that they think they can kill the Fact(God)!Thanks any way as in the country of the blind------!Good luck!

  • this is a bargain. and its display is HD. wat more can u ask for ?

  • This tab is very amazing ... very reliable .. my son 3 years old used this tab do playing n learning.

  • Guys hello i have this tablet today, is this tegra?,and why cant i play real boxing??,im a new guy

  • Thanks... Will do just that.

  • Try installing root explorer. If your device is rooted, you can try copying the Play Store apk in to the system apps folder and set proper permissions. Actually, you would be better off looking for instructions on how to do it at xda developers rather than here.

  • I have reset to factory settings but still does not show any Playstore installed. Again tried to installed the Apk but still it won't work. Will try out the custom rom as recommended but I need guidance on that.

  • Is it brand new? Asus devices are Google certified and come preinstalled with the Play Store as a system app. So its either you have a used, rooted device that had the play store deleted or its a fake. Either way, try to do a factory reset. If it still doesnt appear, you might need to flash a stock rom.

  • What do you intend to use an external cam for? This device already has a front camera. Although there are apps which can help you connect to an IP cam/other phone.

  • Yes it does.

  • This is my first tablet, which I received as a Christmas present. I had some misgivings about owning a computer that didn't have a real keyboard but soon saw the advantages. Here are a couple of the bonuses Extremely lightweight. Great display. Very good selection of apps, including a word processor with handwriting, sketches (!) and voice input. Granted, the latter does leave a bit to iron out. The texture, a sort of lizard skin finish, is very pleasant to hold for long periods and seems to suggest that the MeMopad was intended to be taken out to work. It is a pleasure to behold. Great video game support, contrary to what people say about the thin library of titles for Androids. Android's own Youtube interface is very user friendly, stripped down and I prefer it to the usual. The size is smaller than Ipads and the like. Ipad owners in my acquaintance have said that they prefer the genuinely notbook (A3?) sized screen. 16gig memory, 1 gig ram (that is larger than a number of PCs I've been pleased with). One more thing: if you look, you can find emulators for the Nintendo DS, GBA and numerous others. I recommend the Myboy, which emulates the Gameboy Advance and GB! Negative: This version of the Android operating system does not support Flash, which means that Facebook games cannot be accessed. I would strongly recommend this

  • Are you still having the problem of it shutting off randomly? Mine was doing the same thing but seems to do it less now?

  • I love this device!Nice,fast,simple

  • if your phone can generate a hotspot you are good sim has nothing to do with wifi

  • Pratical to read e-book accept pdf format. You can surf on internet access all contacts withouth internet connexion. One big hick is that asus cable look exacly the same as regular portable phone cable. You can easily mix up cables by mistake and if you do so your tablet will charge as well as your asus cable. But after that your tablet will no longer charge even with asus or phone cable. You will not be able to use any portable stick charger.. So in spite that this is a very good tablet this negative point is making it a reason to think about it before you buy..... This tablet should charge only and strictly with is own cable, and a tablet fully charged should automaticly disconnect from source of charge when fully charged. We custumer will not stay up all nigth beside our tabet to disconnect it....

  • I just bought this tablet yesterday,& it lags a bit but its still a decent device all around

  • no sim? omg

  • is it support pdf files?

  • hahahahaha i got this tablet for free HOW? i won it in a BINGO game in our christmas party hahaha i was jumping for joy everyone is looking at me while i was walking and holding my tablet and like WHAT.... in ur face whos jealous now ha :))) this my christmas gift hahaha thank you god

  • I bought one Asus Memopad with 32 GB ROM yesterday. Icould not find complete specs on the box. It has good resolution, good picture quality with single secondary camera.It has got Micro USB port and supports OTG cable which is not included. I found it cheaper in Price and better in Quality. However, It does not support SIM, it does not have BLUETOOTH and HDMI port.Neither there is RADIO.Its speaker is at base. The biggest flaw is it does not support Adobe flash player. But still I love it will continue enjoying it.

  • Bought mine in july for 79.00 and love it no problems

  • I have used this tablet for 4 months with no problems. I have watched movies and use it for stock market trading. I use several finance related apps and all work perfectly. I do not use this tablet for any games. Îf use purchase this tablet now at the much reduced price you will be rewarded with much enjoyment. I think some of the negative comments are unjustified. If you need something more pay the higher price for the newer ASUS MEMO or another higher end tablet, but first make sure you need the additional features. I recommend this tablet.

  • This is a good tablet. But the pixel density is very low. That's a disadvantage...

  • Can I view PDF files on this

Betary fully charged and update firmware and done full factory reset.have u any idea sir? Does it tablet issue? Plz help. What is use of micro usb slot and OTG cable which come with tablet? Why i got problem only with pen drive? I tsted another pen drive also bt prblm is same. Plz help sir.

  • I had the same problem until newest update. Since then, my batery last for several days. If you updated, probably some app is draining batery and forbid pad to go to deep sleep.

  • Is it has a mobile card. Is it contain blue tooth. How can I download the applications

  • indeed, I used to transfer big files with Superbeam much faster rather than bluetooth ..

  • It has USB OTG functionality plus free USB OTG cable. That means you can attach and access external drives. I've already used flash drives [transfer files]. Haven't tested any external HDD though. Those that complain it doesn't have bluetooth can just install Superbeam from the Playstore. It allows you to transfer bigger files between different android devices [4.0 and up only I think] through wifi direct. Laptop to Memo Pad file transfer? Check out Airdroid [also in the Playstore]

  • Hierarchy

  • Cannot store PlayStore applications in memory card. Photos and Videos = you need to copy from internal then paste to memory card.

  • I've used this 2 days ago, and I feel very satisfied, especially asus firmware update and a lot of changes in the appearance of the application, of the camera is quite good, the screen is the equivalent of the price, if the screen is more than it would have been so much better, for all the games run smoothly, too smoothly for the movie, ebook very helpful in this memopad .. the sound is very crisp and clear .. I will use this pad with happy and happy because I bought with my savings .. hahaha ;)

  • hey guys i am going to buy this asus memopad me172v is tmemopad is a good tablet? and do we get 720p vedio calarity.?

  • Sir how to copy/paste apps to memory card?

  • Can someone tell me how to copy/paste apps. to memory card. Thanks.

  • just go to service center of asus..

  • i'm using it for a week it has no bluetooth, cannot move apps to memory card you need to copy \ paste it, but it has good battery life less charging hour, camera and mic is good enough for skype, speaker has clarity. why is it more expensive than acer b1 just because it is more durable and quality of material use but less in specs.

  • It doesn't have bluetooth

  • hi bro u have go into the setting and allow it to connect to pc.

  • i bought this tablet 2 weeks ago,it is seriously worth every penny... it gives an excellent responsive processor... thou not compared to nexes, but this kid can also read an 1TB hard drive... and excellent quality...

  • Is tht posible for use modem on asus memo pad ME172V?

  • Hi love it but Charging just doesnt thought it was faulty cord no that is how bad then i too turned off wifi Such a slow Charge i swear it runs down almost as it chargesBut Shame cause ILoOVE it sd slot etc Video fantastic downloads ....Android sucks power ??????

  • My Asus Memo Pad ME172V does NOT carry bluetooth (T_T) Speed is no fast & Screen isnt great but I can live with it For that price if it carry bluetooth & better 2 core I will give it 10

  • I seem to be having the same problem but think it might be something to do with Wifi connectivity, because when i turned off the Wifi it worked perfectly, of course you cant surf the net then grrrrrrr.

  • do the chat is on on facebook ??

  • Based on my experiences after 1 month using of the asus me172v it is automatically dead on the spot not charging even i connect the usb cable to laptop it is not working.so is there any person who have same experience for this tab.

  • Weird: Amazon says it has a SIM slot for 3G

  • I have been having the same problem, any solution?

  • Accorging to the specification. it does have bluetooth!

  • Yes, it has Wifi connectivity No, you can't use Yahoo messenger on it, Skype works though. No, It has no simcard. Never tried bluetooth yet.

  • This tablet doesn't have a bluetooth.

  • When playing video in HD quality, it will not be smooth enough..

  • it has wifi

  • Available on skype but no Bluetooth

  • why?

  • Seriously? Why do you answer when you don't know. It works seamlessly with Skype.

  • you say that it support 1tb external hard drive ? it means that it has a usb port where you can also insert flash drive ? sorry kung wrong grammar ! hehe

  • WHAT??? WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

  • only 1 Megapixel ? ... :/ it's not good enough ..hoping that there will be an Asus MEmo pad 7 which is 2MP As Early az possible ..!

  • it doesn't mention WiFi connectivity in the spec page that you've posted, so this tablet don't have WiFi support too? this is a question, not a troll.

  • This Tab has no Blue tooth Device!!!! I tried it!! Please give real information about the product..

  • can we use usb modem ?

  • no bluetooth on this device

  • where are bluetooth on/off ?

  • second day since i bought it, it restart n FOREVER stucked in loading screen! cant start up! DAM! any1 knw how to solve it??

  • same problem goes to me. I had send it back to asus center and had to wait for 3 weeks because of the inspection of a new product. Now still waiting. ZzzzZZZzz Please if anything happen to your product within one week, go tho the shop and ask for replacement.

  • Reset the OS and try.

  • Another good thing about this memo pad is being able to support 1 terabyte external hard drive. This means, you can use it for torrent all you can with movies and all. Comes with a great tag price, and a brandname far better than all those cheap China tablets. Since it has a multi-touch-capacitive screen, static stylus also works well. In my country (Philippines), it sells for P6,995 or equivalent to US$166. It isn't cheap, it's cost-effective... :)

  • Yes..it has front camera, speaker, built in microphone, which are needed for Skype video call.

  • can i do skype video cal on this tab ????????

  • dude, it doesnt hav bluetooth :( i confirmed from official asus page on facebook

  • Not applicable for skype

  • It's a good tablet with good price, I have bought this and there's no complain about performance, really good....

  • is dis available for skype?

  • can we use USB modem?

  • can u explain more bout the bluetooth.until nw i cant find it. Lil bit troublesome to transfer things from my laptop. Tqvm ^_^

  • bluetooth:yes but when iam looking for it there is no bluetooth wth

  • Please check right features about device befor writing GSM.asus memo pad 172v hasn't bluetooth.

  • Anyone know what the model number of the OTG cable that sold with it? or any other identification number?

  • I am using memo pad me172v. Surf the internet - got a link - click on it and displayed a different webpage as to compared if I click the same link in my laptop. Why? Settineg problems? Anyone can help. Tq

  • Can support Stylus Pen???

  • Applicable for hdmi function?

  • ASUS ME172 AS EBOOK READER I am planning to buy the asus memo pad ME172V primarily as an ebook reader and mp3 player. Will it make for an excellent ebook reader with its resolution, brightness...how about ease of use? Most of my ebooks are in the epub format...does this tablet support epub?

  • my asus memo pad is frequently auto shuting down on battery, any suggestion ????

  • Use mx player pro,problem solved

  • Use mx player pro,problem solved

  • nope.it a single core processor.

  • no it cant. Because viber need ur phone number to register. Asus memopad is non sim installed.

  • i have tried temple run 2 on this device,n its work extremely well. Most of the simple games are running smoothly. For browsing,it has a long battery life for as 7 hours non stop. Asus memopad is for light user compatible with it own single core processor. I just think that it realy worth ur money on this budget tab. Dont expect too much where u spend less.

  • is this tablet can use the messenger like viber ?

  • Can this tablet play rmvb & avi files if I install 3rd party movie player?

  • is this tab has dual core processor??

  • Temple run 2 runs fairly well, not so much other games, and can't say anything for most as I haven't been able to install many apps because of some bug.

  • This one doesn't have Bluetooth, fix specs

  • instagram is not supported(upset)

  • not compatible with instagram..(upset)

  • According to others user opinion, the Acer Iconia B1 can run games like Temple Run 2 smoothly, how about this Asus Memopad? Or, how far can it handle those latest games?

  • You can not compare a 5th place with a bottom place brand... chek this out :

  • So we can say acer build for work and asus for entertainment , right?

  • For me this is medium end product which is designed for entertainment, to compare it with Iconia B1-A71 I think it was not in same range because Iconia designed for productivity..

  • have you check on the system connectivity setting for the bluetooth? you need to turn it on to make it appear on notification bar..

  • Only a device with GPS function had compass capability.. this model does not had GPS.. anyway the compass only an apps you can get it install from Google Play etc.

  • Iconia does not build for graphic performance but more to multitasking.. that is why it had 2 processor.. Normally when a device had GPS, more apps run in background, so it need to be fast. So, 1.2Ghz Dual Core just perfect! Asus had GPU which is accelerated for graphic, that is why it play the video better plus build with a very nice LED-backlit LCD too.. ;) now up to you..

  • Most android support Huawei mobile broadband dongle.. just plug and play

  • check the reviews. this 1 GHz single core is faster than dual core acer iconia in real life dual core doesnt necessarily mean more speed this tab can play 1080p effortlessly while the acer iconia struggles

  • With dual core, You can do more. Go for Acer B1-A71.

  • Acer Iconia B1A71 is dual core. Go for it. Acer is an international brand. Don't think too much.

  • Acer Iconia B1A71 is a dual core tablet and cheaper than Asus Memo Pad ME172V. Who will buy single core costly tablet ?

  • asus is better than acer , more ram & more battery

  • asus memo pad me172v, good for browsing, watching movie.

  • Im looking cheap tablet for reading ebook, watching video, or playing simple game , which one i must choose? Asus memopad 7 or acer iconia tab b1-a71 ? Thanks

  • for smooth facebook game use tegra 2/tegra 3 tablet, they known to have best perfomance on flash game(58FPS) from anandtech review benchmark

  • this tablet use a single core cortex a9 1ghz coupled with mali 400 mp1 at 300mhz , and its soc commonly used on cheap chinese tablet the stock rom from asus was great and very optimized and that was the reason you got a smooth perfomance the single core a9 1ghz perfomance was on par with qualcomm snapdragon s2 processor on xperia 2011 range the gpu mali 400mp1 was on par and its the same gpu and configuration used on novathor u8500 chipset (xperia u,galaxy ace 2,samsung galaxy advance,galaxy s3 mini,galaxy beam)

  • Does it have compass? I want to use it as a tool for sky observation. Thanks.

  • that device support external modem ? what type of modem that can be used to this device?

  • Can I use these memo pad to play facebook games online like Diamond Dash or Bejewel blitz? I try playing but the system hang,after few minutes. Any problem with my memo pad? Thanks.

  • Some people just look for portable cheap screen and not to run games like the Quad and Dual cores have

  • its single core

  • Do you guys can tell me the part number of the included OTG cable?

  • thanks for the information...

  • Ya, this product no bluetooth, no GPS and also no SIM card.

  • How bout its CPU is it Quad Core?

  • broadband yes, through usb kit. office word also yes.

  • that device can support broadband??and it can support office word or not????thanks

  • Well, it's pretty descent for the price. I've been using an apple products for a couple of years and this device was my first purchase of andriod device, I was so amazed how the apps,video, etc.. runs smoothly, the multi screen feature and weight of this tab (yes, this really matters to me). Sometimes, I hate to use my ipad4/3g due to its weight, it really cause pain on my shoulder after a prolong usage and I need to carry a bag that can hold my ipad4 (sorry,enough for IPAD). This Asus memo pad is really an on the go device. However, the resolution is not that good but still it's okay as long as you played HD format video. To wrap it up, I'm satisfied with my purchased and welcome to andriod world!

  • yes it support usb otg.

  • Is this tablet support USB OTG? Coz there is a free USB OTG cable if I purchase this tablet in my country.

  • similar to Acer Iconia Tab B1-A71 with only has 2G network???

  • it has bluetooth.

  • I think this device has NO BLUETOOTH. Look into the specifications on the manufacturer-homepage! If it is so, please update your specification-list! thx

  • do the factory reset, if there still no bluetooth, you send it back to the dealer.

  • Been using this for the almost 2 weeks as my 2nd tablet. Mainly use it as MP3 player and for some light gaming. So far so good. By the way, i am using Galaxy note 10.1 as my main. This is a great option for those who consider it as 2nd tablet.

  • hey guyz.. my tablet doesnt show Bluetooth..but it s der in bill ... how do i get or wr i get Bluetooth...?

  • just got my Memo 172,,,good enough for daily usage,,no problem with light game,better than stupid chinese made tablet, value for money n no longer bring my laptop,hahahahah

  • i saw it.. its a good tablet.. but is it single core or dual core processor? the price is very competitive!it will knocks all cheap chinese tablet!

  • yes it can use a 3g dongle, buy it and you won't regret. Got bluetooth and can make video call.

  • Can we use dongle connectivty for internet ..?

  • it has a bluetooth, kindly read the spec sheet

  • for this price, at least should keep up with the specs that chinese vendors provide. For eg. A minimum dual core mali 400

  • this should be it, the 2nd or 3rd tablet for everyone, it got what it take to be a useful tablet.

  • mifi on the go

  • with no Bluetooth on this tablet, it doesn't differ that much from other Chinese vendors tables, I wonder why all cheap tablets don't include Bluetooth with them

  • This affordable tablet will blow away those Unknown Chinese tablets. It's like a weaker version of the N7. This tab would be good for browsing, light gaming, and playin' movies. If Asus can regularly update its software then this tablet could be bigger than the nexus 7.

  • They use Wi-Fi on the go modem which had a wireles connection with a mobile network.

  • Test it & found that the screen was just terrible...... The viewing angle & color is even worst than those unbranded Chinapad......

  • in the promo video how the hell did the user make a video call if theres no cellular on this must be good to tap into the supermarkets wifi and bypass the password lol

  • Good: 1GB RAM, OS v4.1 Jelly Bean, good battery backup, video calling. Its a good bargain.

  • For 7500 र this is a steal, because - the brand image and build quality that it brings along would change the scenario of burgeoning local brands and probably will last long. I would say this as a strategic - target specific line. True it is - not friendly for Richie rich's, but don't worry Asus has in store for you guys too. :D

  • the cost to make is 59$ donot buy it buy archos 70 titanium me172v 70titanium single core dual core 1gig ram 1gig ram no tv connection hdmi 8/16 gig storage 8gig storage

  • is cheap ,, i can buy it :v

  • but dont have such tabs feature....:-(

  • Yes the price is cool but the specs aren't so much. But if desperately want a tab it's good

  • cool price.
