THANKS - what is the slot next to the micro sd card for?

Hi I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this as the dev scene for this tablet is pretty much non-existent.

Also I am getting and wondered if anyone can let me know what the is the part next to the micro sd card.

I wish it had an option for sim card as I would like to browse and dlo apps on the go.

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GFZ:
I believe this will be used for the sim card with the Novo 8 3G.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] warhunter:
When I bought the Novo 8 Tablet it was already rooted with 2.3.4. When tested outside with other wifi networks, it works. But when I get home, apparently it does not detect my home wifi network which is really weird as it can detect my neighbour's wifi. My router is an ASUS RT-N56U. How do I solve this problem? Is there a specific wifi setting that the tablet cannot detect?

youtube app

Don't know why but video streaming on youtube app is freezing, it plays about 10 sec and then the video freeze, but the streaming continues. If I try to pause or rewind the video, makes no difference, still frozen, even if the video is fully loaded.

Does anyone have the same issue?

On dolphin it does not freeze but it is laggy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Is the router set for 5GHZ traffic only?

Check your router settings and see what you have got going, a quick look at the specs shows it's can do produce 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ wifi networks at once so check to see if you have a 2.4GHZ network running. I have found my tablet to run on a wide variety of G and N WiFi networks without issue so it should be ok other than that.

Dolphin lag part of the flash performance issues

This thread is a bit old but both this version and my current 2.0 version on the other thread suffer from Flash performance issues due to the firmware. The new firmware I'm testing at present seems to resolve some of this.

Regarding YouTube through the app it should be ok, I test it on a few good quality videos and find no issues but when I ask for a link everyone feeds back that it must be their connection :) If you have an example vid you want to send me the link for I will be happy to test. My testing might be a bit off at present due to my tablet running a newer firmware than released but it should give me an idea of performance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thoren:
This problem happens on low and hq, the first 15 sec of any video play without lag or freeze. Can be any video, the problem can't be related to my router or internet, because on my pc it they play smoothly.

Testing again what I noticed:

First try to watch a video it frozen, then pressed back and tried same video. Video plays normaly 3 secs more then first, freeze for a little and the audio stops. Playback continues. Almost in the end of the video, the audio comes back but delayed, so the video ends and the audio still playing. Third time still same then second.

I don't know if it is some setting, but I think not. Because I wiped everything and flashed update.zip again.

Low quality had the same thing from second test.

On dolphin LQ videos are ok.

1080p video play is ok, didin't tried with long video, just 30 sec one. Got slow on mx player, but I adjusted some settings and now is fine.

I always try with racing game videos.

HDMI

Hello,

Yesterday I tested it on hdmi, I noticed that you can't select anything by touching the screen, just using the trackball or a mouse. Is there any setting to keep the screen up while HDMI cable is plugged? I watched a novo 7 video, a guy was playing and the tablet screen still on.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Novo 7 is a different machine

All the videos and testing I've done show the Novo 8 cannot do both the screen and HDMI, the 7 is a completely different system inside so will have features the 8 does not. It should still work like a laptop style trackpad when connected to a TV so you can drag your finger round and a pointer appears on the screen, then you tap to click or long press for a menu in certain apps.

hi, after running this update seemed to install ok, then it will no longer power on at all, no vibration, nothing, have tried holding down power button, plus power button + vol - for 30 seconds .. nothing so is this Novo 8 totally dead ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marculos:

Pressed the reset button for 20 - 30 secons, then the device started to vibrate ! So managed to get into the BIOS screen and loaded the 2.2 firmware, all good and now my niece has a working xmas present !

rom help

Hi.

I am writing from Turkey.

I installed the device, rom de novo 8. device is opened.

but then I shut.

device is not opened when I wanted to open it now.

When I plug in charging instrument is a small tremor.

key will not turn on even touched for a long time.

Please help me.

'volume +' and 'Open' button and holding the power on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marculos:
hi

if it vibrates when you press the power button then should be an easy fix.

1/ Get the relevant firmware. I used the 2.2 from

gadgetfreakz.co.uk website

2/ Copy to micro sd card and insert into sd card holder in the Ainol

3/ Press volume up + power on for about 20 seconds

4/ Screen should blink, then let go of the buttons

5/ Firmware should automatically install.

6/ Once completed take out the sd card and reboot

7/ It should now startup, you will need to change the language from chinese, I followed a guide on you tube to fine where to change the language setting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aNeXiEtY:

New release available on other thread

[size=+2]Hi everybody, a little longer than planned but a new release is available in the first post of the thread linked below.

[ROM] Ainol Novo 8 Adv 2.3.4 Root UK V4.0 (NEW 15/04/12)[/size]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] itsMuppet:
no recovery possible (vol+ / power) cyogenmod neither

I'm terribly sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I'm busy all night to reinstall my Novo8 advanced. I can't seem to get in any form of upgrade mode. I've read in a couple of forums that the default way for the novo8 is boot with vol+ & power pushed for 20 seconds, but in my case, the device justs reboots or gets stuck in the screen where the droid has his arms crossed.

Then I've downloaded the Cyanogenmod to install through zip which is on my microSD card, but that doesn't respond either.

The rom that's installed now is the Novo8 2.3.4UK 4.0se. Kernelversion reads 2.6.34 dong@dong #58. I'm starting to get desperate, so please help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
Mmmmm

It should just be a case of powering down the tablet, make sure you do not have the mains plugged in otherwise it just reboots (hardware design problem) then just press and hold Power and Vol+ until you reach the recovery screen. I assume it must of worked for you at some point to get 4.0se on there, everyone seems to get slightly different results from their Novo 8's but not heard of this before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] itsMuppet:
I've bought it second hand and haven't tried to upgrade the rom yet. Should I troubleshoot the kernel firmware or the rom? Does Novo8 has seperate roms and kernels or is it all-in-one?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oberth:
The kernel should not be the issue

The Kernel for my releases has been pretty much the same since the first release as Ainol stopped updating the firmware quite early on in the Novo 8's life and both tomx2h and cheeyee never tinkered with it as far as I'm aware. As mentioned frequently these Novo 8's have a mind of their own, my black one has behaved perfectly despite the abuse it gets off me reflashing it all the time. Other units like my older white one were just plain broke out the box, your unit likely sits in the middle with it's own quirks.

Getting back to the more important matter of not being able to enter recovery I have just tried something that should do the trick for you. Be warned though that it crashed my install so don't try it unless you plan to flash. Make sure you have whichever Firmware you want to flash ready on the SD Card and inserted into the Novo before starting.

1, Pop over to the play store and grab Quick Boot and install it to the Novo.

2, Connect Power lead and make sure you're charging them run the app and pick 'Recovery' A dialog box should appear which you need to pick 'Allow' and then the Novo will reboot into recovery mode where you can then flash whichever firmware you want to. Without the power connected the Novo will just turn off, it needs the power connected to trip the reset correctly.

3, Flash whichever firmware you wish to try, Before rebooting I recommend pulling the power lead so the unit powers off rather than resets.

I do not recommend using this app for every day use as it's like pulling the battery out and as in my case I had to reinstall my V5.0 WIP copy after but for this situation it should do the trick.

Hi guys

I'm searching for a good remote desktop controller for my mobile phone!

ALready googled it and i'm using TeamViewer, free for personal use, looks great! Seems a nice tool for this phone but I'd like to know more opinions to the best one speed&performance!

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sully.E:
Hello all

One of my friends have HTC Desire

He installs different ROMs on his smart phone.

Yesterday he downloaded RunnyMede v4 and tried to install it

but in alpha recovery when it asks for a custom zip file he chose the wrong zip file , and during the installation of the wrong ROM he took out the battery in order to cancel the installation (I know taking the battery out during installation is the the most stupidest thing ! but I wasn't near him to prevent him!)

so then he put the battery back , but the phone never works like before ! It always sticks at the s-off screen here is image

now , it doesn't matter which ROM I install , I tried several ROMs (including the backup of the official ROM) but all of them Sticks at that damn screen !

waited for almost 1 hour but that screen never disappeared , but the phone itself restarted several times ,! but again it stuck to that screen again!

you know its like a loop , when I turn the phone on it show that screen and after some minutes it restarts automatically and again it sticks to that screen !

Please , if anyone knows a solution , tell me

I appreciate all the suggestions and answers

Waiting for suggestions

thanks all

Is it just me or anyone else have same problem with auto rotate not working in home screen display? I just found out that my Mini Pro SK17i with default 2.3.3 have problem auto rotating in home screen now. After I click an app or widget the display will go landscape from portrait if I hold in horizontal position, but it stays portrait even when I hold it in horizontal position while in home screen. The only exception is when I slide open the keyboard then the display will go landscape. Is it normal or is it just me? Is there any solution.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] eku53ru:
I'm led to believe that this is a part of the design, and the home screen assumes you will pull out the keyboard when you flip it sideways. :/

I've noticed a similar issue while using my Sk17a as well, at least.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
Yes, its normal. The display only rotates when you pull out the keyboard :)

Tried again, not working. If anyone an point me in the right direction. Searching the forum but not having much luck :(

One of the last few things I need to fix!

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

And I don't think this is normal... before I flashed with miniCM7 it rotated fine and the fact it does for a second then rotates back is not normal in my eyes.

[EDIT] Right I have found out that official updates have caused this problem but I should still be-able to get the home screen to rotate when the keyboard is slid out. This does not happen.... anyone know why or could point me to a fix? And I have auto-rotate already on :(

I owned a desire hd running miui rom until last week when it came to blows with a cup of coffee, the coffee won, well kind of. It no longer has any reception, with my sim in. It works fine with my wifes sim tho.

Its been wrecking my head.

Anyway, we swapped phones and im now the proud owner of an x10 mini and after ive changed the launcher, keyboard, messaging app and music app im actually quite happy with it.

My other reason for this post apart from just to say hello is to ask.

Is MiniCM7 a lot faster/better than stock as it is only slowness that is still letting it down for me.

I was put off the Galaxy S2 because of the screen. Unless you look straight onto it I can see a green tint and if move the device the screen has a green shimmer to it which gets on my nerves and reduces the screen brightness to my eyes.

Not sure abt green but the two S2 I went thru had a severe blue tint. Was extemely excited abt the S2 and purchased 3 different cases, a car charger and the mhl adapter even before I got the phone.

The blue tint was so bad at the slightest of angles that it was simply unbearable. Got it replaced but the same story again. Finally caved in and bought the Sensation, but the screen was unbelievably inferior when compared to my HD2 and had that returned too.

Completely torn between the Nexus and the Note and jus can't make up my mind. That said, my HD2 running Hyperdroid CM7 is rock solid and super smooth and I love having physical keys, Its just that 'm bored using the same phone for so long now.
