DO NOT USE FWTOOL TO INSTALL RECOVERY!

TOUCHSCREEN WILL BE DEAD!!!

hmm.

I got a report that my clockworkmod recovery for EM73(another tcc8803 tablet) can not be installed via FWTool menu. touchscreen doesn't work after installed failed...

please unzip recovery.zip and flash recovery.img by fastboot directly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
I found another report about FWTool.

it said that run update in FWTool menu without specifying any file -> dead touch screen.

I think FWTool is for touch screen controller, and update will erase important data for touch screen.

I don't know correct file to repair touch screen. DO NOT USE "update in FWTool"!

Hey fun_ I just flashed your CM7 and gonna give it a try. It booted fine (that's a start) and looks very good !;)

Let me know if you release updates, I can try 'em out
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
thank you!

so both ClockworkMod Recovery and CyanogenMod is working, right?

if you have a time, please check accelerometer axes. X-Y rotation can be checked on home screen, and Z axis can be checked by Google Sky Map(look ceil/foor).

I want to know partition size on LY-F521 2.3.3 ROM (or on my CM7, both are same). please tell me /proc/mtd.

Adobe Flash 10.3 (on Market) is working? there is no hw video decode on my CM7 so flash video must be slow(or not work)...

I added LY-F521 in my build script, so new files are uploaded when I run batch build. I think no big change will not happen for a while. but if you want newer CM7, please use newer files :)

I'll update my CM7 thread when I build new CM7.

on CM7, try press power -> reboot -> recovery.

or try power on with some key other than back.

1) Flash, 1st boot , reboot setup wifi, reboot to recovery install 0613, reboot - lost google search on home screen (Problem loading widget) gained no apps. Install said completed bar in background was on +- 1%

2) Reboot to recovery tried 0307 - Same result

3) rooted with "SuperOneClick" after removing "adb shell rm /system/tts/lang_pico/*" ( Create space)

4) rebooted to recovery tried 0613 again, Install said completed bar in background was on +- 45% - gained Google Search, News & Weather and Talk.

5) Rom manager - Fix permissions, Reboot to recovery try 0613 - result is the same at 4

In the end still no Gmail, Marketplace or maps :(

as I said, I want to see /proc/mtd. and this time, please tell me "df" command result on root shell before and after gapps install.

non-google search bar widget will be load error after gapps installed. you can remove non-google one and add google one after gapps installed.

if you install gapps just after wipe and cyanogen.zip installed, this problem(not problem, actually) doesn't happen.

Flashed with FWQN again, rebooted setup wireless, did above clean up except LiatinIME.apk but included "adb shell rm /system/tts/lang_pico/* "

rooted with Superoneclick

rebooted to recovery, fixed permissions, installed 0613 no gmail or marketplace

Installed Marketplace rebooted - http://www.mediafire.com/?z766h369nhlsf27

Marketplace now working installed GMAIL - ALL GOOD !!!! perseverance pays off once again :D

Not sure if all the steps above are necessary but suspect the lighter system has helped! (on 92% now after all installed)

Wize
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
well, we are talking about my CM7 and gapps, right?

why "rooted with superoneclick"?

market didn't appear after google account setup finished?

gmail doesn't exist in gapps zip. download from market.

I have a report that market works fine on CM7 for EM73. such a magic should not be needed...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wize24:
yes we are talking about the same

my version on adb came with Superoneclick so figured while im there ill cover all the bases :)

Market still was not there after account creation - thinking about it i skip that in the wizard after install as it asks to slide out keyboard - cant do that on tab & cant find way around it.

will try that again now and see if i can get around it.

My hardware is the LY-F521 4 GB ROM onboard.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
hmm. I see. thank you for your test & report.

probably some issue is exist on LY-F521... hard to investigate for me without it :(

so your workaround will be helpful :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wize24:
ok... my original process was way too bloated !

reflashed with FWDN, rebooted setup wifi and did system clean out, Rebooted to recovery installed 0613, rebooted setup account when asked to slide out keyboard unpluged USB and put back in :D

Marketplace now there and working.

Seems like system cleanout is the trick for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
first CM7 install may be incomplete. anyway, I'll remove something in /system on next build.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobH77:
Hi,

I have had this tablet for a few weeks now and I like it, but I have one big issue with it. It often doesn't detect the micro SD card which I put in there, so I can't access anything on the SD card (apps on the SD card obviously don't work and I cannot play movie, music and picture files. The Gallery for example is empty). What's strange though, is that I CAN access the files on the SD card using ES File Explorer.

To get the tablet to detect the micro SD card, I have to reboot, often several times. Just unmounting and mounting the SD card, or just re-inserting the card, does not help. I have to reboot.

Can anyone tell me if a firmware update will fix this, or might this be a hardware issue? It's very annoying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinybeetle:
Are you looking in the correct location? I just ran into an issue where I wrongly assumed that "sdcard" meant my micro-sd. I found out that it isn't. SDCard is the internal SD Card. The microSD is a folder or directory off the sdcard folder named tflash.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobH77:
Yes I know the micro SD card is actually the tflash folder.

I have put some pictures, video's, music files and apps on my micro SD card. When everythings running fine, I can view the pictures and video's in Gallery and start up Spotify to play my music. Very often however, it seems like the micro SD card is not 'detected' when I turn the tablet on. When I go to Gallery, it says there is no SD card and there are no pictures/video's. When I try to start Spotify, it says there's something wrong with the SD card. The apps that are on the micro SD card are just gone.

I have to reboot the tablet, sometimes more than once, to get it to 'detect' the SD card. The weird thing is, I never get an error message or anything during start up (when its says 'prepairing SD card etc) and when I use the ES File Explorer app, I can always access the sdcard/tflash folder in there to find all my video's, music etc, no matter if the SD card is 'detected' or not. And once the micro SD has been detected again after a reboot or start up, it remains present, untill I turn the tablet off. I can only hope the micro SD is detected when I turn the tablet on.

This is really frustrating and I have to find a solution for this :-(. As far is I know there's nothing wrong with the micro SD card itself.

Thankfully I have not run into this, yet... sorry to say I don't have any ideas.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wachoo:
I'm in the same situation, but with the internal memory (Nand).

I'm on 2.3.1 now, is that what you are on?

I'm really hoping the new firmware will fix this because it pretty much breaks this tablet for me. I find it "forget" about the Nand even while using it, which is just plain retarded.

If it doesn't fix it than its flying back to where it came from...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobH77:
I'm on 2.3.1 too, and now that I think about it I might also have the same problem with the Nand.

Apps I installed, like Angry Birds, sometimes just disappear. The icon in the menu is gone and in the application management list there's only a grey icon left. The only way I can get the app back is by downloading it again and re-installing it. Rebooting doesn't help. The app's cache is still there however.

I contacted the Chinese supplier about the above issue and all he said was: "The tablet is still in optimization, so it works not perfectly at this moment." Hmm... I really hope someone had the same problems and a firmware update fixed it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wachoo:
Just updated to 2.3.3 and the problem is still present, probably even moreso than before as I needed a lot of reboots for it to recognize the nand now. Odd thing even though the app I use didn't recognize it, the gallery now did.

Pretty pathetic.

Also this FW seems to have brought absolutely nothing to the table. The only change I see is that (I think) lcd density has changed, probably to the "proper" value for this resolution, but that just means more things on screen and ****tier transitioning performance, I'll see if I can change it back, or rather just go back to 2.3.1 as this really did not fix any of my problems.

Anyone here could download the multitouch test app and see what happens when they try to test the third touch input?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phiit:
Howabout more stable and much faster performance? Battery life / charge problem fixed, no random FC from apps.

Hi Guys,

I'm considering buying a tablet, and the two candidates have Telechips TCC8803.

between SenseV7 / Suli My 7 and the other is gPad 702 / Coby 7022

what I love about Suli My 7 is 1024x600 resolution and an option 12GB of internal memory. But before deciding to buy it there are some questions i would like to ask

1. what is the difference the between Suli my 7 4GB and Suli my 7 12GB, the internal memory only?

2. is it compatible with Flash ver 10.3?

3. The stock OS, is it include with android market?

4. is there option for a stable 2.3.3? (gapps works fine including the market)

5. is 3G Dongle still functioning after upgrading to 2.3.3 (i really needs this function)

6. and the last what about battery life? (after upgrading to 2.3.3)

what i need is a tablet That Could stand around 5-6 hours of heavy duty (WiFi always ON Or with 3GDongle attched (WiFi Off), Browsing, some downloading, playing some media/mp3, and some games) or 8 Hours just as pdf reader (Wifi Off, No Browsing, No media/mp3, no game) could SenseV7 / Suli My 7 meet this?
