[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
What I mean is, the accelerometer changes the screen to quickly. If you place it on a flat surface, the screen will sometimes flicker from landscape to portrait and back. It's annoying. Whe holding the tablet in Portrait mode, it'll flicker (sometimes) to landscape, or completely upside down. I think the sensitivity is too high for general use. I think I might know where to change that, it's a jitter effect somewhere.

As for games, in most games it is swapped and that is annoying. I'm really not sure the best way to fix that.

I'm currently battling a few issues with the 2.3.3 firmware, but it might be my customization that has caused the issues. Superuser seems to crash every now. My favorite application WikiDroyd won't work, and google sync won't sync to calendar or contacts.

I'm also playing around with the dpi. 160 is the lowest you can go and still have all your applications work correctly. 133 is what I'd like to run, which is the screen true dpi, but then some programs won't work correctly.

Decisions, decisions... :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
ah, I see.

about "on flat surface" it is software issue. there is threshold "don't rotate screen if tablet is on (mostly) flat surface". threshold is not correct or not implemented on that rom.

"most games swapped" then there is some hack to fix only orientation, not accelerometer. orientation is calculated from accelerometer values and acclererometer should be fixed for all apps.

I have no idea for 2.3.3 issues :(

probably it will work fine on CM7...

I'll try to make Gpad702 2.3.1 based rom and CM7 today...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwl99:
screebl lite doesn't turn the screen off, it adjusts the accelerometer to disable screen rotation if the tablet is lying flat on a table
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
How do I do that?

BTW, the 2.3.1 from Gpad702 doesn't work very well. The orientation seems a little better (though not in games) but video playback does not work at all. I'm going back to the 2.3.3 build, but I'm going to do a clean install instead of restoring my backup. Maybe that'll fix some of the weird issues I'm having. Though I don't think it'll fix wikidroyd. :D

EDIT: Nope, fresh build still has the same issues with Gallery Movie player won't actually show video (though using ES Explorer works fine). I'm just going to restore my backup now. It'll be good when you have your own device. Then you'll really be able to do some work. I'm too much a newbie to know what to really do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Okay, I'll give it another try in a little while.

Well I've gone all the way back to my 2.3.1 build. :)

I love playing around with different firmwares. Each one has features I like/need, but I really want Gallery to work, and I really need Wikidroyd to work.

When I have more time I'll see about building my own custom roms by combining features and see what I can and can't fix. I'll be happy to test any firmware that's released. :)

Hi i just received my tcc 8803 tablet with android 2.3.3 on it res 800x480.

I tried to install cwm from recovery but everytime i enter recovery and wan't to install zip from sd card i get the msg could not mount E: sdcard, what's wrong?

EDIT: i tried installing recovery with fw tool (stupid) and now my touchscreen wont work anymore what now? Is there a way to fix this or should i contact the factory :) I can enter fastboot and fwdn, maybe i can install stock rom from fastboot and it will work again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
When flashing, you need to have the files on a microSD card, not on the internal memory. The internal memory is not mounted at boot.

You can reflash with FDWN tool, but you'll need to make sure you're using the correct .img file. I highly recommend NOT flashing an lk.rom file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
Where can i find the correct files i downloaded "EM73-FWDN-image.zip" and trying to find FWDN now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
PM me your email address and I'll email it to you. I mean, I can email you the FWDN tool. Is your screen resistive or capacitive?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
The screen is capacitive.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Well then I think he firmware from post 6 should work, but no guarantees.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
I tried to install the rom on post 6 with the tutorial and got a download crc error see picture. and the tablet only goes into fastmode/fwdn mode now.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
You should try the FWDN one you said you downloaded first and see if it'll come back up. It's possible that you have the 8K NAND instead of the 4K. Are you sure it's an EM73?

You should know that I have the resistive screen, so my build is different then yours.

Try the firmware from here:

http://www.szltp.com/download/download38.html

It's 2.3.1, but you should at least have a working touch screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
im downloading this right now lets hope it will work

GPAD702 (2011-05-11).rar

Yes it has a capacitive screen and tcc 8803 chipset.

The NAND Data shows 3235840kb maybe this is why i cannot install the previous rom? I read somewhere on the internet someone installed the 2gb rom on it and it worked but i remember the nand memory was 4gb of this tablet :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
The 3235840kb refers to the primary partition that is used for system and data, the rest of the 4GB is reserved for boot (if I remember correctly). Is your tablet 4gb or 2gb?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
When i looked at the nand memory it gave up 3gb so 4gb i guess. Btw i tried 2.3.1 but it's stuck at the end of CRC check.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
That's very odd. I haven't had that problem. I've been able to write several different .img over FWDN. Maybe you have an 8K NAND. I think _fun has an 8K rom on his website. You should wait for him to be online. He's much more knowledgeable then I am.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
No i'm pretty sure it's a 4k nand but maybe i'm doing something wrong i followed this guide step by step:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101094

the installation of the ik.rom of GPAD702 (2011-05-11).rar went fine and the bootscreen changed. But i'm not able to flash the m801_mtd.img this hang's at the CRC check unlike the other roms it does not give a crc error but just hangs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Oh! Now I understand, you flashed the lk.rom. That was my original mistake as well! At least your tablet turned back on, mine did not. You will have to find the lk.rom that matches your tablet and flash it first. I suggest using the one from the FDWN file. Just flash the lk.rom, reboot then try to flash the img files.

If it works, don't ever flash a new lk.rom. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
I guess i messed it up :P I think i cannot do anything more i tried different ik.roms and images but some just give a CRC error or hangs at crc check. I contacted the supplier and he told me he was going to send me the original firmware on monday... i guess i have to wait until monday... Btw i cannot shutdown the tablet do i have to wait until the battery dies?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
That's what I had to do. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
Sorry to say that, but welcome to the club, you are #3 with broken touchscreen. Flashing stock ROM woudn't help as the touchscreen controller (SiS9209) uses own EEPROM and you erased it. I'm trying to find a solution, but it seems the only way to recover the touchscreen is to flash right firmware which we don't have at the moment. If we obtain the firmware somehow, we could update it via PC by Android Screencast.

For updating ROM, when you flash lk.rom (which I don't recommend) you may need to reset the device so that new lk.rom updates memory mapping and you can flash correct mtd image w/o CRC error. This issue is known from previous TCC8902 platform, but maybe the problem is in 4K/8K pagesize of course.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Has anyone had any issues with the microSD card slot? I can't get Clockworkmod to create a proper backup. It goes through all of its steps, but when I check the backup on my computer, the files are incomplete.

I tried another microSD that i use in my phone, and it also had issues trying to create the backup, failing at /data. When i booted into Android it said the card was damaged, but my computer said it wasn't. I tried playing an mp3 off the card and it skipped and stuttered. In my phone, it plays normally.

Any one else? I'm currently letting my tablet cool off, it's gotten kind of warm from use. I'll try again in a few minutes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
I met similar problem, using another card & formating it in tablet helps. Then I was able to create a backup via clockworkmod recovery (unfortunatelly the backup was not working, I dunno why). Just for info, the path to SD card is /sdcard/tflash/...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
So you created a backup that didn't work? That's exactly what I'm saying is happening. I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the microSD, but if it happens again I'm going to reflash clockwork. It's getting annoying...

It seems letting it cool down did the trick! Now if I can just get the stupid thing to sync with google contacts and calendar!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
My backup size was ok, but I didn't checked the content.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Ah okay!

Any ideas why market, gmail and picasa sync work but calendar and contacts do not? Flashing CM7's gapps file doesn't work. :( Also, pushing contacts.apk to the /system/apps doesn't work either. I can push it, but it doesn't show up in the app's list. I can find it in the /system/apps, but it doesn't appear to function. Also, the accounts & sync doesn't change.

There's gotta be a way to fix this...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
So you say a original fw flash wont update all drivers. I installed ik.rom then i resetted and installed the img but still i get the crc error.

Btw: im going to ask the factory for touchscreen fw ok? ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
Did you check file permissions? I am not playing with my tablet now coz of non-working touchscreen :(

Yup, I tried every kind of magic already (lowlevel format, multiple ROMs). Hmm, then it's probably pagesize problem... did you try 8K ROM?

EDIT: Yes, please ask :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
I think the idea is that the official firmware (for use with the FWTOOL) would also have the eeprom firmware for the touch screen. Sadly, what we have does not so when you flash it just erases the eeprom.

Would FWDN even be able to fix that? You might have to hook up an external keyboard or mouse to navigate around, then use FWTOOL again with an official firmware update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
I used 0655 (0644?) what should I have used? I can always try again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
I don't think FWDN ROM can fix that... Android Screencast is a perfect tool for remote control :)

Use same as other files please, it was just an idea where the problem could be, I didn't try it by myself sorry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
why "pretty sure it's a 4k nand"? do you know what is pagesize? you said NAND isze is 4G?

and you didn't verify your tablet is really EM73 yet. some other "capacicive tcc8803" are also exist.

I uploaded some rom which run on 8k pagesize EM73 (confirmed) but you need to confirm what is your tablet.

by the way suppllier may not know technical things like pagesize, EEPROM, touchscreen microcontroller, etc ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Well I found a Contact.apk that would at least install on my device, but when I launch it there's an error that says android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Also, Calendar and Contact sync are still missing. :(

Somehow, Emdoor really disabled this sync feature deep. I'm going to have to read about Android a lot more before I figure this out. Facebook sync is also disabled. It seems that ONLY gmail and Picasa are allowed. It's very strange...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
I looked at the nand size when the tablet was working and it was around 3gb, the rest is used for other stuff i guess. and to be honest i don't know if it's an em73 but the ik.rom worked so i guess it is. Only the img file wont flash and it gives the crc error. From the outside and chipset + gpu it looks and feels exactly the same as em73.

As for the supplier, some suppliers deliver directly from the factory so they can ask their engineer about the files we need on this thread, i found one which promissed me to deliver the default fw for my tablet. When i got it i will ask him/her about the touchscreen eeprom/fw.

EDIT: I installed http://androtab.info/files/tcc8803/rom/EM73-8K-2.3.3.zip and it installed just fine. The tablet boots again...Now i need to make the screen work again. Hopefully we can find the fw soon :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
we didn't ask NAND size, we asked NAND pagesize because FWDN report CRC error if mismatched.

"lk.rom worked" "outside same" then probably your tab is EM73. some times lk.rom for other tab may (partially) work on another tab. "chipset + gpu same" doesn't confirm anything.

I think we can't find files for touchscreen controller (default fw for your tab will not help), and need to send tab to factory :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
Isn't it kinda impossible to do a low level fw flash/erase of the touchscreen when android is running? I personally don't think the fw eeprom is erased, but i think the files on the sdcard partition which are not changed when you flash new rom are messed up.

Maybe when we could enter the tablet with android screencast and flash the img with FW-TOOL the tablet will work again. Did anyone try that?

I contacted someone from the factory and he said to me the Touschreen eeprom belongs to the design house and could not be shared...GG

EDIT: BTW i need drivers right to make screencast work. Are they here on the forum?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
of course we can control android without touchscreen. then where is the img for FWTool?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
I mean tcc8803_mtd.img
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fun_:
sorry, I asked place to download, not file name...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
I mean the stock rom i downloaded from here. What would happen if a image would be flashed with fw-tool.

http://androtab.info/files/tcc8803/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
You didn't get the point, FwTool has nothing to do with the tablet firmware, it is works only with touchscreen controller (calibration, show FW id, flash FW).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambir:
Kinda stupid they kept it there then :S pff Hopefully we will be able to rip the touchscreen fw out of the tablet in the future, otherwise it's useless :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
It might be easier to just replace the controller board...have you guys taken the back off your tablet yet to see if it's possible? I suspect the controller will be on a secondary board as the resistive screen does not have a seperate controller. You can look here: https://picasaweb.google.com/109142763629889922251/Tablet?feat=directlink which is pictures of my tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szamot83:
My device has SiS810 chip. I cant find eeprom firmware anywhere. Maybe there is a way to read FW from not broken device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
Yes, I agree :) But they will notice an enormous number of damaged tablets soon... maybe then they start to think about including FwTool to customer ROMs.

I think the whole touchscreen must be replaced in that case, because the controller is on touchscreen ribbon cable. I disassembed EM73 here: http://androtab.info/telechips/tcc8803

FwTool reports SiS810, but there is really SiS9209 controller inside.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szamot83:
Ok, but is there a way to read FW from this chip and then flash it by FWtool?

My device also has broken touch screen, but in my case it was device problem. When device is fully charged and charger stays connected the touch screen start to mad. It starting apps by itself - today it start Fwtool and then pressed start without any file selected - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14748690&postcount=60

Now my device has broken touch screen.

If I will have FW for this device, than will I be able to get touch screen work again by flashing it with FWtool?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
That is different. For example, my camera is soldered to the board (i guess they didn't feel like trying to put on another connector, annoying). Also, your casing is white? Mine is black. Do you have a higher resolution picture? Can you also see where EM73 is silkscreened on the main board? What version of the board is it?

Interestingly, the 4-pin connector for a resistive touch screen is left on your board. You could, potentially, replace the capacitive screen with resistive screen, at least temporarily.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
Hmm, interesting story. If we will able to obtain TS firmware somehow, then probably yes. But we can't for now and reading something via I2C from undocumented SiS9209 controller is really difficult or maybe not even possible.

Yes, i wrote that at the page, white case, EM73_M5, CPU board: EM_A100_V1. Sorry I don't have hi-res picture, I used my mobile phone. I have 8-pin connector for touchscreen under black sealing tape, maybe the 4-pin on the left is for additional BT/GPS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Ah, that is interesting! I have an unused 8pin connector under the black tape on mine. I guessed that it was used for a capacitive touch screen, and I know that the 4 pin connector near the camera is used for my touch screen.

I sent an email to Emdoor the other day regarding bluetooth and they said a future version of the EM73 would have bluetooth support, but it will take time.

My CPU board is the same, the motherboard is marked EM73_v3

Something else to add to the site: On my tablet, the FWDN mode and Recovery mode are swapped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoRG77:
Thanks, I added that :)

So it seems the boards might be independent of TS type... on the right side I have unused USB pins, who will make a first HW mode? :D
