Hanvon B10 Runs Wetab OS
This is no surprise that the Hanvon can the Wetab OS,
Till now i haven't come across a OS which the Hanvon Cant run,
i tried this with Virtual box and as a live image,
What worked best was Virtual box,
You can try it out and see what you think,
Me, personally i dont see myself using it over Windows,

Hanvon B10 or B16
My mate has ordered a Hanvon B16 which he should receive by friday,
so will head over to his and test the B16 out,
he has also now listed his B10 on ebay,
which i think is a BIG mistake,
The Hanvon B10 will outperform any tablet with a atom processor,
i have personally tested the Hanvon B10 against the Lenovo S10-3T (atom N450), Fujitsu U2020 (atom Z550) and recently against the Viewsonic Viewpad,
The only good thing the B16 or the slate will bring is a electromagnetic pen, which will give great accuracy when writing on the screen,
Apart from this the Hanvon B10 is a much better buy, i can even use itunes and sync my music without any problems,
While any atom base tablet will most likely shut down,
Graphics i dont even need to compare the intel 4500 wins hands down against the gma-500 or the intel 3150,
If you are really after a Hanvon Tablet go for the B10 unless you really really need the pen option,
otherwise buy a Dagi stylus and use that with the Hanvon B10 works a treat,
This is more or a rant then a comparison but seriously cant believe he would sell the B10 for a B16,
he should have at least held both devices for a week before selling that way he would have know the B10 is the way to go,
Now if it doesnt like the B16 its not as you can easily buy one 2nd hand,
you will have to spend the full whack and buy it new...

Linpus Linux OS
Found this OS while reading up on Meego,
I haven't tried it out yet,
but will give it a try and see how it is,
from what i read it is only single touch and a lite version,
The full version will offer near enough double the features,
not sure if that means multi-touch or not,
to install you need to download the .exe file and then run it from the Hanvon,
the OS needs 15GB and will run with Windows so no worries of formatting,
The setup should detect the D: drive and install there,
The setup .exe file is small so during setup or before setup you might be prompt to download the image file which should be around 2/300mb as it is only a lite version...

Hanvon - Android Build 1.6 version 2
Good News for everyone,
the version 2 build is out,
this is more of a trimmed down version the image is half the size of the original,
most importantly the build now includes WIFI Support for the 3DSP card,
apps have been added and a alternative market store,
the only thing we currently lack is a real intel 4500m driver,
vesa mode will run fine but will still lack in video playback,
hopefully this will be fix in the future Build...
the build should be up in the next hour

Hanvon Touchpad - Heat Sink
The other day while doing the fan mod i notice one of the screws on the heat sink was loose,
Luckily i notice this,
the thermal pad on the CPU and GPU seemed fine,
quality wise there are really good,
better then some i tried in the past which start to crumbled once you remove the heat sink,
the pink thermal pads in the hanvon were still soft and can easily be removed,
the only thing i did do was add a tiny bit and i mean a tiny bit of thermal past in the center of the thermal pad on the side which sits flush with the heat sink...

Hanvon B10 BC10C Noisy Fan Mod - Part 2
Part 1 - http://hanvon-touchpad.blogspot.com/2010/09/hanvon-b10-bc10c-nosy-fan-mod.html
The Fan Noise one of my main hates with any Computer,
it was only after 4 weeks of use that i notice the fan wouldn't power back down,
i constantly checked the temp the fan comes on at 49c Low Speed and hits full power once it hits 61c,
as the Hanvon is factory set there isn't a option to adjust this,
there is a option in windows but not one in the bios which will help,
the problem i had was the fan would start as normal but when it is suppose to power down the fan wouldn't,
My only option was to changed the fan,
i search the net for part,
and then found out the fan which is currently in the unit isn't cheap at all,
so in the end decided to use diodes to mod the fan,
This turned out to be more of a simple mod and easier then i thought,
i used 2 diodes 1N4001,
removed the fan from the unit 3 screws,
cut the red wire from the fan make sure to cut closer to the actual socket /plug,
used a small piece of wire as a extension lead and soldered to the red wire,
then soldered the 2 diodes together trimming down the ends,
connected all wires together and soldered,
as i didn't have the correct heat shrink i choose to use insulation tape,
Out come,
i have used the unit for a few days since the fan mod,
and it runs like a dream,
on low temp you cant even hear the fan,
after about 2 hours of heavy use then the fan will comes on for about 5/10secs and then drop back down,
exactly as it should have been from the start,
have done 3hrs test while running a full HD film on loop and the fan ran as it should,
i'm really glad i ended up doing this mod,
another plus point the mic now also works better

The B16 aka B20 is Finally Out
In the upcoming week you should start to see some online retailers starting to list the B16/B20 models,
Current price is a bit shocking,
$1189 us dollars roughly £831,
another bit of news the B16/B20 has gone into a tug of war with the HP slate,
as both hardware seem similar,
the main difference being the screen size...
As the Hanvon has just started to come out rest assure the price should drop once more online retailers start to stock these units,
only place to get a cheaper deal at the moment is China....

this software pack includes the screen rotation software,
to use you have to map it to a button on the side or have it start on startup,

How To Test Android And What Works
I have it installed on a spare hard drive which I installed just for testing,
And now with a 4GB SD card,
As this is only a test build,
There are a few problems,
Sleep doesn't work,
I did try a S3 patch but this causes the screen to jump out of resolution on wakeup,
The 3dsp wifi, Bluetooth isn't working,
The railink card is a hit and miss,
What is working,
Camera works,
Mouse works,
Touch with 2 fingers working,
VESA mode works with right resolution,
Stand Video Drivers But Hopefully Next Update Will include the GMA-4500 kernel,
Apps all working,
Music and video playback working,
Video playback only supports mp4 SD only cause of basic Video Kernel stack,
Games depend on build,
The ones I tried did work,
PSU/Battery working fine no draining issue,
The toggle / wheel up/down works and can be used on start up to select VESA mode,
Power button, brightness and esc button all working,
The WIFI/Bluetooth button does register so is working but the wifi card itself isn't working...
For anyone wishing to try it out,
Make a boot-able image and place on a 1GB card or SD card,
No need for a Keyboard,
on the start-up menu use the toggle/wheel and click on "run in VESA mode",
Its better to run in a live mode rather then install the image due to some limitations,
if you do have a compatible Wifi card which works with android then installing will be a good option for you,
If using a Large SD card then its a good idea to partition the SD card before setting it up,
the 4GB SD card i am currently using is partition with 2.96GB Space for Android and the remaining 1GB labeled SD which i used for media...

Hanvon Touchpad B10 & Android 1.6 Video
Android 1.6 Running on the Hanvon Touchpad B10 / BC10C

Hanvon - Android Build Testing ver 1.6
Android Build is Out,
Now before you go all crazy and start messing up your hard drive,
there are a few cautions you need to know,
This is ONLY a TESTING Build so be Careful,
The android build isnt perfect but runs with touch support,
2 things to know,
the android build will work much better if installed onto the hard drive,
running it as a live image does cause a few problem but it will boot to the main desktop,
and you can have a play with it,
installing to hard drive as you know the Hanvon is already partition by Hanvon before shipping,
the partition can not be re-sized which does cause a a problem here,
i have already opended my unit,
so what i did was use a spare drive just to test this build,
if you dont have a spare drive then you need 2 usb sticks or 1 usb and 1 sd card, use one usb/sd for the installer and then install onto the 2nd usb/sd,
To build the bootable USB/SD you will be to first download the android image link below and UNetbootin software below,
Download and run as admin,
then click on diskimage with iso selected and browse to where the android image was downloaded,
then make sure the right drive letter is selected and click OK,
Once this is done you have a bootable android image...
Plug in your USB/SD drive and follow on screen instructions,
Just be careful not to destroy your hard drive,
if you are really worry,
go into the bios and disable your hard drive to protect,
i am not responsible if you mess up your Drive,
if you dont know what you are doing pls do not download the android image

Hanvon - Android Build Is Finally HERE!!!
Android Build Is Finally HERE,
This has been a long time coming,
i have tried many different ways to port android to the hanvon,
and each time i have run into touch issues,
I have given up twice on the idea of the hanvon having android,
But finally things have started moving,
The Android image used is version 1.6,
even though froyo is out,
trying to use that was way too much to understand,
Currently at the moment,
i have started to upload the image,
and shortly it will be available to download,
there are a few issues but it is a work in progress...

as this was from a old model the drivers are not verfied for windows 7 only vista,
but it does work and the keyboard works great...

Android and Hanvon
I have tried a few different firmwares of android on the Hanvon and the one and main problem i have is the touchscreen,
good news is another atom base tablet which is coming out this week,
uses the same touch control as the hanvon,
which means using the android image which comes with that tablet,
we could get full touch working on the hanvon,

Which Case To Buy For The Hanvon Touchpad B10 / BC10C
I have done my own search trying to find a suitable case which will suit my needs,
i have narrowed my search down to the following 2 cases -
Case 1
Case 2
Both Cases look good,
i will take the jump and buy one this coming week,
Hanvon still haven't given me a release date for when the Hanvon case will be release in Europe,
Currently there are only available in China
Also if you do a search for stores in Europe,
certain online stores have started to list Hanvon B10 Case,
the price differs from one website to another from 11 euros to 18 euros,
no description or pictures,
so waiting to here about which case there are actually selling...

Windows 7 with 7 Stack
Been playing about with this software lately,
and it does run well,
suits me fine as i dont keep any icons on the desktop,
everything i mainly use is pinned to the taskbar,
7 Stack comes in real handly....
Worth trying out
http://alastria.com/software/7stacks/
Download -
http://alastria.com/files/7stacksSetup15b1.zip
7stacks is an easy to use, free app that lets Windows 7 (and Vista and XP) users have “stacks” of icons in their Taskbar (in 7) or QuickLaunch Toolbar (in Vista and XP). By using stacks, users can reduce icon clutter, and combine a group of related icons into a single icon. For instance, if you use application suites such as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or Adobe CS4, you can have all the suite’s icons combined into one icon!

Hanvon - Setup Your Hard Drive & Folders
One Good thing i have found with the Hanvon is the way the hard drive is partition,
i know most might not like this,
but reason i find it really good is one main reason,
anything you have backed up onto the D: drive stays there even after doing a fresh install,
So how i have set up the hard drive is as follows
go into my computer,
expand the list on the left hand side,
Right click on the my document folder click on properties,
now the document properties window will open,
now tap on the location tab,
Tap on the move button and move the folder over to the D: drive,
do this for the Music,Video and Pictures folder,
once done all the location of the document/music/video and pictures will be on the D:,
which now make them really safe,
now if by chance your mate or kids ever hit the hotkey on start up and accidentally restore the system,
your Documents/Pictures/Music and Video will remain safe on the D: Drive...

the 3 1/2 hrs i get from the battery is good enough for my journeys,

Battery repacking is a really good option,

which can be easily found on the net

Having the battery repack,
and upgraded to Li-Polymer Battery Pack 7.4 volt 6000mAh
this will set you back 79quid,
getting this done is cheaper in china where it works out too 59quid,
this will also add another 600g weight pushing the total weight of the Hanvon to over 1kg...

AutoHotkey & Screen Rotation
old post -
http://hanvon-touchpad.blogspot.com/2010/08/rotation-and-g-sensor-what-to-do.html
*********
UPDATE
*********
It seems i missed a bit of the command out,
Which Freak Bull Came up with,
So you will need to rewrite the script for autohotkey and use the commands below,
this will activate the toggle on the size to change screen format,
plus if you push the toggle in which is the enter key the toggle will default back to normal,
so you don't get any problems using the arrow keys on the keyboard...
you will need AutoHotKey to re-assign them.
Get it here http://www.autohotkey.com/
install and add this AHK commands then use the Rocker Switch to change the display mode -
$Up::Send ^!{Left}
$Down::Send ^!{Up}

Hanvon B10 BC10C Noisy Fan Mod
The past few days the fan noise is really getting to me,
specially when i have the tablet on low power sleep,
so yesterday i thought might as well see whats up with the fan,
Now after removing the fan from the unit,
by the way the details of the noisy cpu fan,
Fan -
Adda (made by)
AB04805HX08D300 (model)
DC 5v 0.40A
Hypro Bearing (ball bearing)
First thing which we can clearly see now is the fan is ball bearing base,
which is why we get a consistence of noise rather then the noise level going up and down on most laptops,
so by simply swapping the fan out with silent one the problem can be fixed,
the fan housing isnt light Alu which is another noise conductor and plastic housing would have helped keep the noise down,
Now there are 2 choices you have to lower the fan nose first one is swapping it out,
the 2nd option, well is more easier and cheaper as you stick to the same fan,
but instead solder silicone diode to the fan (red wire) this will reduce the power,
The fan will run fine at 60% power by using 2 diodes 1N4001,
and the noise level will drop by 30%,
Simple to do if you dont know how to solder just take the to any electrical repair store abd have it done there..
