OK managed to get market running just once. almost downloaded solitaire then it crashed. the play store must be checking for Google certified devices, the viewsonic 10e isn't one of them. in not not too bothered as I get my apparently from other sources. I am however really annoyed at the price drop of this product as it would seen this tablet has been discontinued. it annoys me as I had the choice between this at 99 from the cash generator or an Acer a100 for 75 . I went with this as it is a newer product. BAD MISTAKE........
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
Im sure that over time the 10e will have root and roms. then it will be a good tablet. Its good now with similar speaks to ipad 1 and good size screen and resolution.

If only it just had full market and ics........

Fingers crossed that someone will hear my prayers.

After lots of searching and trying, including using arctools (I know for Archos, but a youtube vid suggested could work on other tablets), I found this and followed the advice here in post no. 8:

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-got-market-working-7022-without-rooting.html

Managed to get very old version of the market installed and stable, but any app downloads failed - no force closes like previously. Maps, GMail and Talk installed and appear to be working, however Googleserviceframwork.apk didn't install and my home button no longer working as stated within that thread - apparently eliminating the second vending.apk installation may prevent that or not choosing setup wizard on the reboot, which I did, but nothing happened when I tapped on the android - I have yet to try again without these measures (only so many hours in the day and one of them really free to even try this!).

I then tried a suggestion in post #268 on the last page, using the attached zipsigner 2 and market .apk, which appeared as if it was going to work, signing in etc and accessing the settings within the market menu whilst it was on a long 'loading', only to have it force close and now force closes as soon as opened.

All of this was done directly on the device downloading and installing - USB debugging is on, if that makes any difference? I haven't downloaded apk installer as it appears to just work anyway - ? because of the included ES File Explorer?

EDIT Resetting factory settings through the settings has restored home button function!

The price drop was apparently a glitch of some kind and now back up to £199.99. See http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/vie...-ips-tablet-only-99-99-maplin-instore-1173334

So, hopefully not discontinued!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
I am gonna try other market apk's later and other iplayer apk's also.

Im thinking that if we can just get all apps via googling apk's then we just do it that way until someone find a proper hack and shares it.

I do love this device and I was one of the lucky few who nabbed one for £99.

There also seems to be alot of interst in this thread, check out the 15000 + reads.

Thinks there is a call for someone to root and sort and im sure that some (including me) would donate to have it done and guide.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] laptopu:
I have checked the Market version I am using which works 100% for me and it shows as 3.4.4. Hope this helps people.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
I'm sure I tried that version which didn't work. Did you have USB Debugging on or off and did you use an installer? Thanks.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
thanks for checking. i try see what i can find and try it
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
I got the mentioned apk . Factory reset the tablet, installeed went though whole process and input gmail details but no joy
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] laptopu:
I had debugging on, put the apk files onto an SD card and used es explorer to navigate to the files and click on them.

I am pretty sure there are other files though and they have to be done in the right order or else it won't work.

1. Google Services Framework

2. OneTime Initializer

3. Setup Wizard

4. Talk

5. Gmail

6. Market

7. Maps

1) Install all the Google Market files and try to login to Gmail which may give you an error.

2) Go to settings-manage apps. Click on Google framework and clear the cache files/delete the data files.

3) Do the same thing for Gmail as in 2.

4) Reboot the tablet by shutting it down.

5) Go to Gmail and login, don't try the market first.

Hopefully you can launch the market now.

Try this site for the files: http://www.mediafire.com/?aalj0j7y4bdhuyy

I cannot say this will work 100% as my memory is hazy and I have done a lot of this from memory and looking at other sites. What I am sure of is the market does work for me with no problems, so it is possible and I am sure others can get it working but it might take a bit of effort and perseverence.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
Thanks laptopu, but doesn't seem to work - Googleserviceframework wouldn't install and Play force closes. However, just logged into the Google Play website on my PC, my device appears and it says BBC iPlayer is compatible and appears to allow me to send the install from the website. Have yet to see what appears on the ViewPad as it's not with me at work.

Zen200 - any luck with you?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
No more luck with me.

I havnt tried much for last few days tho.

I am confident that this tablet will be a great machine soon enough tho.....

Dam iplayer not working for me yet tho.:confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
Yeah, I don't get it - the specs seem right for being able to run iPlayer etc, but it doesn't. In fact, if I try to open up any flash content it crashes the browser. Both the iPlayer app and website load and display the content well, but when I go to play the programme it goes back to the content page (of the app) or the browser exits. Even my lowly Defy does better!

I downloaded an iPlayer .apk as my attempt to 'push' it to the device from the web version of Play didn't work, other than to through up several Play error messages which was obviously trying to run in the background.

I'm tempted to take it back, partly because of this, but also the fit of the screen and back cover is not good - can easily see the green led through the gap below the capacitive menu button for example. However, I also want to hold onto it in the hope of a ROM breakthrough (or ICS update), so that my £99 seems a super bargain!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
My exact same thoughts..... hold onto it with the hope that someone will sort out rom etc.

Im sure it will happen, but its a new device.

The specs are so much better than alot of more expensive devices. Screen is great size and resolution too.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] b34r5:
Just popping in to say I also picked one of these up (i'm happyblob from HUKD :D) and have been lurking and trying a bunch of market apks. Will devote a few more hours to it over the coming days and report back if i'm lucky enough to get anywhere. Cheers for everyones efforts, heres hoping for a taste of ICS sometime soon!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
YES YES YES !!!!

I cant pm globatron to ask if he has done anything with this.

Can someone please kindly ask him ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
Hi all

Been reading the thread and can co firm i have market working on my tablet. I have 3.3.12 and didnt need to do any thing other than install the apk. Also have bbc iplayer running however had to download adobe flash 10.3.185.25 so it would work. Would be intrrested ic anyone knows how to get a more updated version of market on this however this one seems to work fine
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
I tried the marekt 3.3.12 on fresh tablet. installed, set up with gmail, but will not open and get usuall (process com.android.vending) stopped unexpectedly.

And what version of iplayer are you using ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] b34r5:
When you say working market, daft as this will sound (please forgive me!) have you tried actually downloading and installing apps using it? I've found several market apks, as have others, which seem to launch but then crash before installing.

Would really appreciate a pointer to the specific apk you used if possible- i've now tried about a dozen with no real success!

Cheers
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
I have downloaded plenty from the market, there are some apps which say not compatible however any that can be downloaded do download no issues.

I have just put the market onto my sons viewpad 10e also and it went like this.

1. put the apks, market, google+, reader and books onto sd card.

2. used es file explorer and installed in this order, google+ books reader market

3. opened google+ and logged into my gmail account

4. opened market, allowed permissions

5. pressed home button re-opened market and allowed permissions

6. pressed home button re-opened market, this time it asked to agree to terms and conditions and voila!!! it works.

Not wanting to sound daft i have these apk's on my laptop however how do i put these on here for you guys?

Is it just attach file via paperclip and upload? Is this allowed?(dont want to get in trouble)

Cheers peeps, if you let me know ill upload for you :p
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
I'm sure you're allowed to upload, as this is where I've got some of my apks from (that haven't worked) i.e. Market 3.4.4 and iPlayer.

Thanks for your help.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
Please do upload the files so we can all try.

Also, I got iplayer working using iplayer 1.0 apk and flash 10.3.185.25. Problem is that it is very juddery and not at all smooth. I have 5mb broadband download speed so im sure its not that and its the device.

I guess that when a rom is released it will sort out the bloated software and speed things up like the iplayer etc.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
Ok

Here is the android market, looks like ill have to upload one at a time as a error message on security token came up whilst downloading the rest
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
It may be because of the older version of flash, but I think newer, i.e. 11.1 just crashes it.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
and the others.

Let me know how you get on, this has worked on both my viewpads.

I had a lot more google apps on the memory card however only installed these ones listed for it to work.

Good luck all.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
downloaded all the files above, went to install first one... Google + and its says problem parsing the package..

Dam this tablet. What Now ?

I have checked that I am allowed to install from non market applications.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
Yes 11.1 isnt compatible only 10.3.185.25 seems to be.

I had an email from Veiwsonic stating end of April for ICS and apologised for the delay.

I find that dolphin browesr hd is a good app for browsing the internet(just my preference).

Also ensure you have checked to allow unknown sources when installing.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Do you have usb debugging on? Not sure if this makes much difference but i have installed apk installer beforehand.

Problem parsing the package has happened to me on numerous things however these worked fine for me. Have you tried installing any of the other apk's?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] laptopu:
Fingers crossed, when did they say that and which part of VS did it come from?

(Just curious, your username, happen to be in northern Lincs by chance?)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
**update**

I just installed the only apk that worked which was the reader.

1. install reader apk

2. opened reader and logged into my gmail account

3. install market apk , and open and allowed permissions

4. pressed home button re-opened market and allowed permissions

5. pressed home button re-opened market, this time it asked to agree to terms and conditions and voila!!!

6. turned off 10e and on again which seemed to finish the installation and works ok. Doesnt install all apps, but now i have alot more choice. use mobile 1 app store fo most, but now can use android market for ones that are not on mobile 1.

I tested angry birds space which downloaded and installed and is working right now.

ENJOY!

Now to get iplayer working smoothly ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
Indeed the mighty Grimsby! Home of all things fish!:D

It was by someone called Einat Tahor who is European Marcoms Executive on 26.03.12.

Has everyone else managed to use this market version? I think the apps that say arent compatible are genuinely not as you can select them online on the play store either for this tablet

Glad i could help :p
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
i retried the apps that didnt work from the market (ebay and avg) this time they both worked and installed.

Happy Days.

A fuly workinh tablet without root.

Would be nice for a lite ICS rom and root instructions still.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
i would recommend using go launcher instead of the standard ones that are slow.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jasoninertia:
managed to get market working. it filters out the apps pretty well so you don't download stuff that's never going to work
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] agrickard:
Yey, have market working!

But Go launcher not showing in Market (is in 1Mobile), just the themes.

Thanks everyone. Just installed reader as zen200 did.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jasoninertia:
go launcher ex is on aptoide. I recommend VTL launcher if you want your tablet to look like a tablet and not a giant phone. we are stuck on this version of android for a while until viewsonic full there finger out so VTL gives me some of the feel of a tablet os. launcher pro is good as well but has the same issues as go launcher ex I.e. it doesent work well on the app. draw in landscape mode. I got my tablet for 99 quid in a cash generator I can't complain too much.if I had paid 200 for this machine I would be very gutted.the lack of dedicated 3d chip murders the performance and until we have root we can't even try to mess with chainfire 3d.I don't know how to root this thing or make a custom rom but I do know that it will be a long time coming as there is not enough interest in this tablet. we need to get the info we need from viewsonic and ask around for someone to remove the crap from this rom, maybe then it will be usable. viewsonic have said the ICS update is coming at the end of the month.they said that last month.I am not holding my breath for it.the sad thing is a lot of us bought this tab because of the "promise ".

wil
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] gysuperfish:
Hi Wil

Yes interested in rooting. Have you loaded any roms onto it and if so what is your opinion?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] zen200:
Hi Will,

Yes as said above.

Very interested in root details and instructions etc. (post link asap)

Things are starting to hot up now which is good.

ICS ROM before we know it :D

really hope it will work 4 all of u , it is an absolute beauty pad and so cheap, but so much work to do. what do u think of ICS . with GB i could be satified having a bettr keyboard, reprogram the bluetooth behaviour and control the self starting apps, setting them to start only when called.

im yet to use ICS on any machine. I am currently waiting for the offical ICS release for Galaxy S2 on Vodafone... any day now.

Then I will decide if its worth ICS rom or not.

hi,

yes same 4 me,

sence i installed market. I think it crosses information of the google account.

I partially resolve it having the same google account in market and 1market then i open the browser and log into google with same account, 70% of times this works even if i jump from one market to the other, but that 30% when its stops or giving error i restart the pad and then it works

Given up

Ok guys ,finally gave up on this terrible tablet . Sold it for 90 quid and put some money to an iPad 1st gen . Love android but this tablet was just awful to use , nice screen ,crappy processor , cheap price , bad build quality , seriously if you have one of these viewsonic 10 e tablets give up now , my iPad has a great battery life great screen ,latest operating system ,all and I mean ALL the apps and games work as they should . If you want to stick with this tablet, good luck waiting on viewsonic delivering a stable ICS update , I'm glad I got rid while I could still get some money for it , don't get me wrong I'm not an apple fanboy , I just needed a tablet that worked all the time . Anyway good luck .
[General Accessories] Djhg2000:
I did some research on the internal hardware of the i'm Watch Android watch and found out a few things:

The CPU is probably a MCIMX233CJM4B or maybe a MCIMX233DJM4B (the latter is only spec'd for temperatures down to -10 C, which wouldn't be suitable for a watch) and come in BGA169 packages.

Since the CPU only has 32 KB SRAM, external RAM is needed (supported types are mDDR and DDR1) and can most likely be seen next to the 4 GB flash and the CPU itself in the presentation video on their site (3:42).

The CPU has many things built-in such as a resistive touch screen controller, 1.5W speaker amplifier. It also has a host of interfaces; SAIF (Serial Audio Interface) which according to the data sheet could provide hardware accelerated Bluetooth audio, I2C, 2x SSPs, 2x UARTs, JTAG and USB with host mode.

The circuits are split into 2 separate boards, maybe with the Bluetooth chip on the board opposite to the one with the CPU on it.

The SSPs are basically highly configurable serial interfaces and also natively support the SDIO interface, which in turn might enable us to hack in some cheap SDIO WiFi card (found out there's a TI 1271 chip which someone used with Android and a Beagle Board link). Reaching this connector might not be possible from either the hardware nor the software side, but I'm an optimist ;) .

Data sheet for the CPU is available here, I'd recommend page 33 and 1411 to get your inspiration going.

TL;DR

CPU is narrowed down to 2 options

WiFi might be possible with extensive hacking
[General Accessories] SayWhat10:
does anybody have one?
[General Accessories] SayWhat10:
huh, how to do what?
[General Accessories] SayWhat10:
I picked one up

is there a major forum discussion somewhere for this watch?
[General Accessories] santjust:
I have one (since 3 days) and i think it is too soon for this kind of products.

The software is slow, battery should be longer than at least 5 days and bluetooth it is a technology than i never like it at all. By the way, if you try to use the i'm watch as a speaker, the quality is very poor for your calls.

on the other hand, this tecnology it is beginning and i believe future will be based on this kind of products.

C u!

any other places where there is more talk on this watch?

it has a LOT of potential, im sure some smart folks can tweak it
