WLAN Problems

Hey I have a problem with the Wlan of my Viewpad. The other day it would work without a problem. I did log on to a Hotspot at the Airport and everything worked fine.

Then returning home it would not find any connections. It is as if it doesn't search for Wlan connections. I turned Wlan on and off, I turned the device on and off, I reseted it...nothing works. I had my own Wlan point saved but my viewpad says that the network is not in reach.

Has anyone here have any experience with that?

I would hate to set up the system from the ground after all the changes and rooting and so on it works like a charm if it wasn't for the Wlan issue now.

Any advice?

thanks laptopu for the reply i have tried a new download and installation twice, the problems seems to be when i hold the tablet, when its sat on a stable surface i dont get the problem, and i noticed its not closing apps it seems to go back like you are pressing the back button and its not just apps if i open settings etc it does the same.. is there a built in gesture or something that does this maybe i need to turn it off,, its the only think i can think of:confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] laptopu:
That doesn't sound right to me. I would contact ViewSonic and tell them the problem, it's possibly a hardware fault which they should repair for you.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Fantomas82:
Alright I solved my problem by setting back the Viewpad to default. Funny enough it says that I will lose all data on the device but all that is lost are the apps. Root is still there, market works, my documents were still on the tablet and the wifi would work again. So I just reinstalled all the apps and the tablet works perfectly well again.

camera flipped

updated to ics a few days ago, anyone having the issue that camera image is flipped upside down when using apps which need to access the camera ? although it doesn't do it with the build in ics camera app, anyone got any ideas ? :rolleyes: weird

FIRSTLY I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOU DEVICE, I have been using mine for a few days with both these files installed and no issues so far.

2 files attached,

first is a Custom keyboard layout is for the guy who was having problems with back button being pushed constantly, i had the same problem, so just edited the generic keyboard file so that the back button is disabled, and the home button acts as back now

-steps-

extract from zip file to folder

enable debugging on device

run customkeyboardlayout.bat

device will reboot and backbutton should be disabled

second file is for anyone who wants to change the 3 birds logo,

-steps-

download ics update zip from viewsonic

extract to folder

copy over my res.img replacing the original

flash like normal with mpttool

bootlogo will be a dark background with a android picture

hopefully this will help a few people out :)

Google play on Viewpad 10e

Hello friends,

you helped me so much, i rooted my device, ICS 4.0.3., only problem i have now is Wi-Fi disconnecting-reconnecting (that problem started after updating to ICS)... btw, i found working Google Play App. I just installed it on my device, it's working fine, downloading, installing apps... so i registered to share it with you.

Mod version features:

patched to skip self-update and remove device restrictions

Installation note:

Rename file to “Vending.apk” and copy to /system/app/Vending.apk. Make sure to uninstall any updates of previous versions first. Root Required. If you are running ICS 4.0.4, “Vending.apk” might be substituted for “Phonesky.apk”.

How do I download the ICS Update?

Hi all,

I have been following this thread for a while now and previously followed some excellent instructions to root my Viewpad 10e. This helped me to dump a load of stuff that was not needed and to silence those awful startup chimes.

Now I think the time is now right to do the ICS upgrade but I can't find it on the Viewsonic website. The link still works, and it takes me to a page of guidance (mostly how to tell which version of of Viewpad I have - mine is the older one with the RESET button on the side) but the option to download the firmware has gone...... :( I can find other firmware to download - older upgrades, firmware for the 3g model but not the 10e. Has it been removed for legal reasons? Any advice on where I can now get it from?

Any help much appreciated!

Whoa, it sounds great. I would have some questions:

1) After flashing this, is there a way back to the original factory ICS ROM?

2) I have a LOT of problems with WiFi connection. I had the same problems with my Defy+ until I put CM7 on it. Will you be able to check/change WiFi connectivity parameters to obtain a better connection?

Thanks,

--Trifo
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] sidenki:
1) No, you have to flash it again

2) I have no problems with wi-fi on this ROM so it's something wrong with your connection.

I had some problems with wi-fi too. The issue was solved when I updated the firmware of my router.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] trifo:
My question was about if it is possible to reflash the factory rom? If it is, then I will certainly give a try to your firmware.

viewsonic viewpad 10e custom ROM for 1.2 tablet version (android 4.0.3)

Here's my custom ROM for Viewpad 10e based on android 4.0.3. Below are the installation instructions and features included. Please read everything carefully before flashing! All this you do on your own risk! This custom is for version 1.2 of the tablet only (original firmware V10E_WW_V4.0_20120721)

FEATURES

[I]-stock logo.bmp and boot animation are replaced;
-stock wallpapers are replaced;
-some apps are installed: [B]soft:[/B] Skype, KingSoft Office; Cool Reader, YouTube, Root Explorer, Screen Lock On and Off; [B]games:[/B]Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space;
-SetupWizard app (first startup app) is disabled. It makes the first startup shorter;
-init.d scripts are used for better performance;
-stock keyboard is modified (some languages are added);
-Root is added;
-Google Play is added;
-The device is recognised as Asus EeePad. This opens more apps in Google Play;
-Flash Player is modified so it is possible to watch videos in any browser without bugs.[/I]

INSTALLATION

[I]1. Download the archive;
2. Unpack it;
3. Follow the Viewsonic instructions (you can find pdf file in the folder with the firmware) to flash it[COLOR="Red"][B]The flashing process will be longer (for 20-30 minutes) because some of the image files are bigger than in the original firmware[/B][/COLOR];
4. Turn on the device after flashing (the first startup will be for 30-40 minutes) and make the tablet work for ten minutes;
5. Then turn off the tablet;
6. Press and hold Volume+ and power key until the image appears. The device will go to the recovery mode;
7. Use volume keys to move to the 'wipe data' option and press power key to choose it;
8. Move to 'yes' option and choose it. Wiping process will begin;
9. Move to 'wipe cache partition' option and choose it. Wiping process will begin;
10. Finally, choose 'reboot now' option. The device will reboot (for 30-40 minutes again). The tablet is ready.
[COLOR="Red"][B]Please note that wiping is necessary if you don't want any bugs![/B][/COLOR][/I]

USERAPP SCRIPT INSTRUCTIONS

[I]This script made it possible to install apps from the first startup because not all apps will work from system folder.
[B]If you want to remove some of the apps I have installed then:[/B]
1. Remove the app as usual;
2. Open Root Explorer an go to the system\userapp folder;
3. Tap the R/W button in the right corner and remove the app you need.[/I]
[COLOR="Red"][B]Please note that if you don't remove the app from the userapp folder it installs again after the next reboot![/B][/COLOR]

VOLD.FSTAB INSTRUCTIONS

[I]This file mounts external sd before internal so the external sd card will be recognised as internal
[B]If you want to do this then:[/B]
1. Download vold fstab from the link (the link is in the attachments in vold.fstab.txt);
2. Open Root Explorer, go to system\etc folder, tap on R/W button in the right and replace vold.fstab with the downloaded file;
3. Reboot the tablet.[/I]
[COLOR="Red"][B]Please note: if you want to restore back to normal, backup vold.fstab file before replacing it![/B][/COLOR]

I tried to ask this but my post was gone...

Well, your ROM works well on my device in almost every aspects. My only problem currently is the volume of sounds. Local video playback or youtube are so quiet that I can barely hear them. The stock rom did not have this problem. Is there a way to make it louder?

I do not know if you have done anything with WiFi handling, but my WiFi problems are wanished with this ROM. Did you do something, or is this a coincidence?

The quiet sounds is the problem of Android 4 only. It is impossible to solve it. I did nothing with WI-FI.

If anyone wants it I'll put together a root and google apps (including market) bundle for the 10e.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] av02:
request to Globatron !!

Hi. Was posting on another thread in these forums about this device, but came across yours today.

Would be grateful for a Rom that enables the video calling.

Not bothered which app it would support, but a cross platform one like Tango would be handy.

Not bothered about incorporating market either.

Infact, am really hppy with this bit of kit for all the things it can do, just a bit surprised that none of the video calling apps work correctly, and they all seem to do something different, eg rotate the image, flip the image, no image, etc.

Have been in contact with another person, who has recompiled the Rom and got the video calling working, but still beta testing as a couple of other things are not working as they should.

Actually, any kind of rom to make this even more functional would be appreciated. Only recently got an android phone, and now this, so know absolutely nothing about making roms etc.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi all and sorry for a very noob question, but have seen some threads on viewcomb for the 10s and was wondering :

Just did the firmware update on my 10e, which was painless, and involved putting the zipped new firmware onto the root of my sd card.

If I follow the viewsonic instructions upto this point, but then pointed to , say, a rom of viewcomb 3.2, also zipped, would it work?

Apologies if that is too naive, but wondered if it would work, despite my 10e not being rooted, like the firmware upgrade did.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] globatron:
That seems to be fixed (for skype at least) in the update on the viewsonic website.

I have been lurking for a while but registered to say how pleased I am too at someone working on this device.

Thanks Globatron, your hard work is really appreciated.

I have no idea how long something like this is likely to take before we can get our hands on it, or the work involved, is this something that takes days or weeks?

Guvno you're right about the device, I love the form factor of mine but no marketplace is a big problem for it. I have seen in other forums ViewSonic intends to put ice cream sandwich on this next month, that would be great.

(PS has anyone here had BBC iPlayer or 4oD working on this device? The hardware specs seem to make it capable but I searched for a specific version of Flash that has been reported to work on Android devices yet Flash just halts if I install the version reported to work, and the stock version that comes with it doesn't work on the players).
